With the exception Of the Garrett
Mansion, which is a magnificent brown
stone palace, comparing favorably
with the most imposing ancestral
homes to be seen on Vienna's Ring
strasse or Londons Mayfair, these
homes were built some fifty or sixty
years ago and they are pleasingly
significant of the cult and comfort
and the appreciation of true dignity
which obtained in the Baltimore of
those days, together with the total
absence of pretence and strife after
spectacular effect. In Maryland, and
particularly in Baltimore, the word
mansion" is used to designate the
home and the seat of family whose
members count for something in the

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

A man who was too economical to

boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighLor. In his haste the boy ran
over a 81 stand of bees and in ten
minutes looked like a warty summer
squash. His father ran to his assist.

wire fence, ran into that. cutting
handful of flesh from his anatomy and
ruiring "a pair of pants. The old
COW took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the cornfield and
killed herself eating green corn. Hear
ing a racket, the wife ran out, upset
fcur-gallon churn full of rich cream
into a basket of little chickens, drown
ing the entire hatch In her haste she
dropped $25 set of false teeth. The
baby having been left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor ruling a brand new $40 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man

FRENCH MINERS MAY STRIKE.

Paris, March IA meeting of the
executive committee of the Miners
Federation will be held today to con
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of strike. In
several districts the men have quit
work today for "twenty-four hour
strike, as a hint to Parliament to pass
the labor laws demanded by the fed
Grafton. The miners are holding the
threat of a general strike as a club
over Parliament in an attempt to
force that body to act favorably on
several reforms which the miners
have been agitating. AS these reforms
are considered reasonable, being
chiefly the legal enforcement of safe
guards to the lives and limbs of min
ers, it is likely that Parliament will
not refuse.

HEARING ON BOXING BILL.

Albany, n. Y. March 12.-Friends
of boxing today appeared before the
New York State Senate codes com
mittee to argue against the repeal OF
the Frawley bill, passed by the legisla
ture last year. Representatives from
various athletic clubs and associa'
tions and from the Peoples Institute
of New York were among those who
favored the continuation of the pres
ent regime under which boxing is leg
al when conducted by clubs adhering
to the regulations of the state athletic
commission.
Gov. Dix, in his message to the leg
islature, gave it as his opinion that
the law had been unsatisfactory and
should be repealed. 1t is declared by
legislators who hold similar views
that the Frawley law never contem
plated allowing prize fighting and that
when it was passed it was supposed
to put a stop to the so-called club
bouts that prevailed and provide for
boxing exhibitions before bona fide
athletic clubs. Instead, 1t is asserted
the law has been used-to legalize pro
fessional matches, although no de-
cisions are given.

". |. JONES NOT A STOCK
HOLDER IN WEIGH BANK

The statement has gone abroad to
the effect that w. L. Jones of the
First State bank of Pryor, which clos
ed its doors Wednesday, and is now
in the hands of the state banking
board, was stockholders in the Ok.
lahoma State bank of Welch, Okla.
This, we are informed, is a mistake,
and the officials of the Welch bank
inform us that Mr.. Jones has owned
no stock nor other interest in the Ok
lahoma State bank at Welch for more
than two years. The story that Mr..
Jones was stockholder in the Welch
bank was printed in the Vinita Leader
and is misleading and the bank peo-
Iple at Welch wish the public to know
that Mr.. Jones is in no way connected
with the Oklahoma State bank of
Welch.

Maddison.coble Wedding.

One of the most elaborate as we'll
as the most beautiful weddings that
ever occurred in Big Cabin, was sol

the hotel was crowded to its utter
most by their many friends who had
come to witness the ceremony. As
the hour arrived the parlor doors were
opened and your eyes beheld beau
-tifully decorated arch with masses of
fragrant white chrysantheums and
quantities Of ferns, while you listened
to the strains of Mendessoln's We'd
ding March played by that accom-
plished pianist, Miss Beulah Parker
of Cincinnati. When you saw the
groom led by two little flower girls
with his bride leaning upon his arm,
walk under the archway and heard the
Rev w. F. Parker in his very i'm
pressive way, say the words that
bound them in the holy bonds of wed,
lock. After congratulations, the
guests were invited to the dining
room where the tables were especially
lovely A cluny lace was used on the
polished tables with large cut glass
baskets filled with red and white
roses, tied with red and molene as the
central decorations Words cannot
give justice to the menu, suffice to
say everything from turkey to pump
kin pie was served.
