Wedding and Other
 News from SeldOvia
Especial to Gateway

SELDOVIA, May 1.-The marri- age of Miss Barbara Bowen, daughter of Mrs. Wm. Rhodes and Mr. Edward Husby was soleminized, Thursday, May II at the Russian church, Rev. Paul Shadora officiating. It was con- ceded to be one of the prettiest we'd dings ever witnessed in Seldovia.
 Miss Bowen was attended by her sister, Mrs. Chas. Olssen as maid of honor, and fourteen of Seldovia's prettiest young girls acted as brides maids. All were daintily gowned in white, and formed a charming group about the bridal couple during the ceremony. Anton Johansen acted as best man, and Messrs. Harry Markle, Andrew Johnson, Julius Christiansen and Ira D. Nordyke were crown bear CTS. The marriage ceremony of the Russian church at all times is an im- pressive one, but was especially so on this occasion because of the atmo- sphere of Spring that was introduced by the first appearance of Spring flowers.
 After the ceremony the bride and groom were showered with the usual old shoes and rice, and all was merry for every one until late hour in the evening.
 Mrs. Rhodes, mother of the brIcc, entertained the bridal party, and the many friends of the bride and groom at her home following the wedding ceremony, later in the evening, the entire populace of Seldovia gathered in one of the Scldovia's large and spacious halls, and danced until after midnight. Mrs. Husby cut the bridal cake in the presence of at least sixty people, and much merriment resulted from the favors in the cake. It looks as if there might be another cake to be cut in the near future.
 The people of Seldovia were some what startled to find a marshal in their midst after the arrival of the Evans on the ninth. The majority of the population has signed a petition urging the court to appoint Ira D. Nordyke as commissioner, but mar

U. s. Flag Again
 in Pacific Service

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 NEW YORK, May l6.-At a special meeting of the stockholders of the resuscitated Pacific Mail Steamship Company here today, it was expected that an increase in the capital stock will be authorized, making the amount $4,OOO,OOO instead of $1,OOOOOO.
 New money is to be provided to pay for three vessels recently purchased.
 This insures the restoration of the American flag to the Trans-Pacifc service.
 The offer has been underwritten, without commission, by the Ameri- can International Corporation and w. R. Grace & Co.
 The old Pacific Mail Steamship Company was in the process of Hqui- dation, following the enactment of the La Toilette Seaman's law, when the Southern Pacifc's controlling interest was acquired by the American Inter national Corporation and W. R. Grace & Co.
 The five largest vessels had already been sold to the International Mercan- tile Marine Company, but seven coast wise vessels, the largest at 7,8OO tons displacement, were transferred to the new interests. They own much Pacific Mail stock, bought in the open market after the reduction in capitalization from $2O,OOO,OOO to $I,OOO,OOO, and are understood to own now about 70 per cent of the stock.
 Three new vessels, the Venezuela, Columbia and Ecuador, built in Hol- land last year, have recently been purchased from the Royal Dutch West India Mail Line, to be put into service on the Pacific, running from San Francisco to Japan, China, and the Philippines, thus restoring the Ameri- can flag to transpacifc service.
 For the twelve months ended with February total earnings of the Pacific Mail were $1,664,986 and profits $S71488, against $271 ,264 earned last year. G. J. Baldwin, president, says revenues from the Panama line during the ensuing twelve months should ex- ceed the earnings of last year and that the net revenue from the three new steamers should exceed the total net revenue from the balance of the fleet in the current fiscal year.
 The American International Cor poration is thought to own what amounts to a controlling interest in the International Mercantile Marine, having acquired, according to report, 30 per cent, of the stock in the open market in the last few weeks.

Fred Cameron, who is now the deputy marshal, was stationed at Copper Center until that office was discontinued some time ago. He hsa rented the residence of Anton JOhan- sen and the place is now being rear ranged to suit the needs of Mir. Cameron and his office. Quarters for both men and women prisoners are being built, and the place is already beginning to look the part, that is, of a building occupied by an officer of the government. Mir. Cameron ex- poets to bring his family to Seldovia in the near future.
 Chas. Day of Valdez, who is ire quent visitor in Seldovia, arrived on a recent boat, and is remaining for a while in order to attempt to get to to some iron property that he is inter- ested in. To date the snow is so deep that it is impossible to do much work in the hills.
 Mir. Lindeberger, a heavy stock holder in the Columbia Salmon Co., is visiting the holdings of that com pany. This cannery recently suffer ed a back set, because of the damage to one of their pile drivers during severe blow. The men in charge of the pile driver had considerable diff culty in getting ashore, but the pile driver was the only real sufferer.
 Capt. l. D. Nordyke has chartered his boat the Rose Bud to Mir. Bush man of Goose Bay. Mr. Nordyke will operate the Rosebud during the time of the charter.

No matter how often and how widely this
sort of preacher may differ from his stewards,
or his deacons, or his Amen-corner patriarchs,
he manages to ala0ays speak the sentiments of
the Lord.
At least, he says SO, and I'd like to know
how you'd disprove particularly as you
are not allowed to talk back.
If there is any one Sunday on which this
sort of preacher is more certain of what the
Lord wants, than another, it is the Sunday of
the Missionary Sermon.
[ am 50 years old, and have been hearing
the same thing on that, ever since my father
and mother took me to the Baptist church of
which have been member for A years.
The opening prayer generally turned our
thoughts Eastward, preparing us to overlook
such common clay as might Immediately COM

With the possible exception of Berlin, there

Sir: The Department is in receipt of your
letter of the 23rd ultimo stating, in substance,
that if Mr.. Thomas E. Watson is prosecuted
certain other parties whom you believe are send

also be prosecuted
The Department is in entire agreement with

tending to show violations of the postal laws,

Investigation. Respectfully

Then came another prayer, to intensity our
anxiety about the Hindus, the Cinnamon, the
japanese, and the Cannibal Islanders.
After these formidable preliminary bonn
bardments, came the Sermon, which of course
was launched against our breastworks, our
trenches, our inner ironworks.
Our Sedans, and Verduns d1aoays fell: the
attack was so wisely planned and so resolutely
pushed home, that we just had to give in.
To my own personal knowledge, our
churches here at Thomson, and throughout
McDuffe County, and all over the State, have
been, for As years, sending money into foreign

1t was a way they had of talking, such as

I never could see any "closet" that pious
men went into, for the purpose of secret
prayer
However, the especially religious patriarchs
have lingo of their own, and they appear
to derive infinite satisfaction out of certain
phrases as, "Lord, thou knowest !" and,
after they've said that the Lord does know
it, they put corns on the knees of the con-
gregation, by talking an hour to tell the Lord
what it is that He knows.
Sometimes, I'm tempted to believe that
pious men can become SO accustomed to telling
us what the Lord knows and what the Lord
wants, and what the Lord will do to us if
we don't obey the preacher, they unconscious

GFauitous Cooperation of T. w. Campaign
Cleanse Uncle Sans Mail Pouches "Fnth"

FROM a friend at Cordele, and from an
other in Florida, I have received two
letters, written by the Honorable w. Wallace,
y. S. Assistant Attorney General and am
permitted by the two friends aforesaid to use
the same, for the information of The Jeffer-
sonian readers, and in order that I may
respectfully tender to Uncle Sam my feeble,
but well-meant cooperation, in purifying the
mails.
Under the official letter-head, which carries
numerals indicating that my Brother Wallace
has written 150210-A-86 epistles, upon the
subject of Watson, and other persistent male
factors, the letter itself reads thus:
March 3, 1915.
Mr. James r. Kelly, Cordele, Ga.

as in entire agreement with you that all persons
sending prohibited matter through the mails
should be prosecuted, and Mr.. Watson will re-
ceive the same treatment accorded other persons
found to have violated Federal laws If you are
in possession of any evidence tending to show
violations similar to those alleged against Mr..
Watson it is suggested that you forward it direct
to the Postmaster-General,w who will cause appro-
PIRATE Investigations to be made.
Respectfully,
For the Attorney General,

WISE ATTACKS CRITICS
OF CHARITIES INQUIRY
Religious Issue Was Injected by
IrresponSibles, He Holds.

Roman Catholic and other religious
bodies who have rebelled against the
recent state investigation Of charitable
institutions we're severely criticised
yesterday by Rabbi Stephen s Wise,
who spoke on "The State and Private
Charity" before the Free Synagogue IN
Carnegie Hall.
Rabbi Wise was especially harsh
toward those who had accused the in
vestigation OF religious bias and un-
fairness. terming them "a species or
hyphenated Americans that may prove
gravely menacing TO the welfare OF the
state"
"A wrong is not less reprehensiblc in
my mind" he said. because jew is
responsible therefor. The same truth
is valid in every religious communion,
and a blanket defence OF III Is as indie
feasible as a blanket indictment Of a
whole people.

tigation was not only needed, but long
overdue If = religious issue has been
injected into the investigation, 10 has
been done not by those responsible
therefor, but by a group Of irresponsi-
bles whose conduct is harmful 10 the
cause or Church they think they serve.
