MRS. CLEVELAND WEEDS PROFESSOR
 PRESTON TODAY
Ceremony Quietly Performed by President Hibben of Princeton at His Home

Princeton. Feb. 10-With only the members of each family and a few close friends present, Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland. widow of President Grover Cleveland, and yThomas J. Preston, Jr, d professor of Wells College were married here, today, at the home of President John Grier lib ben, of Princeton Uniersity- President Hibben performed the ceremony.
 Owing to the desire of Mrs. C1eve- land to avoid the assembling Of crowds of curious spectators, an att tempt was made to keep the news of the wedding from becoming known until tEnorrow. Those at the CleYe- land home went even to the point of making flat denia1s that the wedding had taken place an hour after the ceremony. It. was. generally believed the marriage would not take place un- til, after Easter.
 Because of the recent illness of Prof Preston, who is a member of the faculty of Wells College, the we'd ding wass very simple. The bride is AS and the bridegroom 50.
 Tt is stated that Professor and Mrs Preston will leave, today, for Florida where they will spend the winter. It is thought they will be- unaccompa- nied as Mrs. Preston's mother, Mrs. day, for Bermuda, where she will be Joined later by Mrs. Preston's deblI- tante daughter, Miss Esther CIeve- land.
 The announcement, of the engage ment of Mrs Cleveland and Prof. Preston, last October, caused much surprise as they had not been ac quainted many months. Preston is professor of archaeology, a scholar and a linguiet of interna tional distinction and has had for years a high place in Wells College of which his bride is a. graduate and a trustee.

WHITEHEAD CLAIMS
 MELLEN'S $IO,OOO
 FOR SAFETY DEVICE
Well Known Inventor Claims to Have Solved Problem of Safeguarding Travellers.

Gus Whitehead, who has become a familiar parsonage to newspaper read CTS for his lively interest in aero nautics. and whose mechanical ability is widely recognized, called at the Yellow Building in New Haven today to collect $1O,0O0 offered by President Mellen for the invention of a auto matic device to arrest trains dlsre- garding fixed danger signals.
 MT. Whitehead was referred to c. H. Morrison, chief signal engineer Of the New Haven system, with whom he spent about two hours discussing the much mooted task of safeguarding the lives of the travelling public by a dOu- Dle set of safeguards, one the engineer the other an automatic device.
 MT Morrison promised to call at MT Whitehead's machine shop, in Holland Heights, within few days, to personally inspect a working model of a railway system in which the de- vice is in practical operation. Mean while r. Whitehead. and his partner. Joseph Youhouse are to draft plans and specifications.
 Not only does the invention of Whitehead and Youhouse stop the train automatically when it has pass ed a danger signal, but it leaves the train under perfect control of a man other than the engineer. Whitehead is not divulging this feature of his system of control
 Whitehead says his system may be put into use with practically no changes in the existing type of loco motive. beyond few inexpensive ac- cessoH7gs.

the legality of legislation against theft murder.
Every dollar that has been invested in the liquor
business in America for twenty-six years has been in

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart with all thy soul. and with all thy mind
him shalt thou and to him shalt thou
cleaye"
What then viii be the reward of faithful love
and service be? Or are we working without the
hope of a reward? To be pure and true. love
must be DISTINGUISHED. Granted Yet is there not
an exquisite joy, keen incentive to further
ice in the encouragement which God in his in
finite goodness grants to from time to time,
and that in spite OF all the imperfections of our
love and service? Why then, should we not look
forward to great reward-God's approval?
If we truly love him should we not strive with
all our might for his final Well done?" Surely it
il not wrong TO look forward to the Joy of that
assurance even while fully aware of our
coming short of it. yet in best work; for thus
we learn TO know more and to think more OF the
love which, seeing the intention gives US credit
for the effort though the result may not be, is not
what we had hoped to offer him.
With such thoughts the New Year begins. As
child tries to please the father he loves so
dearly as a friend who seeks every opportunity
to prove his friendship. so may loving thank

that no definite line has been drawn
