" WI
On Thursday evening, February ll
at 6 O'clock, Miss Emma Alverta Rlne-
man, of Hampstead, Md, became Mrs
John Warnell Wentz. The bride wa
attended by Miss Mary V. Wentz
sister Of the groom and the groom by
Mr. Russell Rlcharts. The transfer
nation took place at the home of the
grOOm's father, MIR IT. WI. WentZ, Line
bcro, Md, and tn deed wa executed
by the brother Of the groom, TIN Rev
Prof A- R Wentz, of Gettysburg, IT,
Witnesses of the serious, butt happy
transaction were present in tin per
sons of Mr. J E Wentz, Mr. and Mrs
H. T- Wentz, w.t. and Mrs Oscar
Garrett, Mr. A. G. Wdntz, Miss Mary
WI. Wentz and Mr. Russell Richarts.
The brief and simple ceremony ot
TIM Lutheran church constituted the
contract Immediately after the
ceremony and tn Fluctuations ot
those present, the wedding party
proved its good will by partaking
cheerily oE an elaborate wedding
breakfast.
Despite every effort or the engaged
and engaging parties to have only t'a
quiet wedding there was a leak
somewhere and shortly after tn re-
past was concluded tn quietude of
the occasion was dissolved in the
vOcifarous strains of thu famous cali
thumpian band.
It appears that tn unmarried
friends of the groom are IA very must
cal lot and they insisted On YOicing
their approval of matrimony by rem
dering long program Of standard
selections from classic composers
And the blushing bride and her happy
groom were constrained tO dO the
hOnors and spread table for the
musicians.
Late in the evening tn newly Weds
left for Hampstead, where they will
make their home. They carry with
them the cordial good wishes of all
who know them.

How It Struck Him.

An Atlanta man tells of "a trip on
a limited train that was tearing mad
nv along through the darkness. Sud
denly TIN engineer sprang to IT,

flew from the rails EN- the locked
wheels slid along; the lights were
extinguished ~ two d. three cars
toppled from the rails. Then there
came silence more Ominous than all.
Certain III the passengers made
torches from bits of Wreckage and
began search for the dead and in-
jured. From one pile of debris there
emanated IA sound suspiciOusly like
"A snore, and soon there was dragged
from among a mass of twisted iron a
slumbering porter.
"Merciful heavens, mani" exclaim-
ed one of thu passenger, didn't you
know there has been wreck"
tfI shore felt somethin', gents" said
the porter, "hut I kinder thought W.

sought police assistance. The police,
however, were not able 10 see any

able to fathom the mystery Amos

This il story of rappings and Wis
ions. The daughter, Mrs Mary
Vaughn Herman, awakened in her bed
just before H. o'clock at night To see
coming toward her bed a large man

This sort of thing has been going On
about two weeks. The family moved

was the intruder, as before, and then
the now widely awake man cried out
and the ghostly one disappeared.

BLANKS OUT
FOR The DRAFT
War Department Asks Care In
Selection OF Boards To Have
Charge OF The Work

Blanks for the registration Of
men who are to be taken into the
army under the draft bill have
been sent to the Sheriiis and To
the Mayors Of towns having more
than 30. 600 population.
They are in the forms Of small cards
and have quite Est OF questions that
are to be- answered besides the age Of
the persons registered. The work of
enrolment. however. y not TO begin
until siX days after the proclamation Of
President Wilson is issued
The War Department. IN sending out
the blanks. has given notice that II
desires the registration to be conducted
by board to be named by the Cover
nor for each of the counties, and by the
Mayor for the city. with the approval
Of the Governor The suggestion Of the
Department l. that the boards should
bc composed of the Sheriff the County
Clerk and the County Physician. The
clerk is supposed to be the clerk OF the
Circuit Court in the counties and the
clerk Of the Superior Court in Baltimore
City.
II is known that in some of the coun
ties there are sheriirs who are not con
sidered qualified to have anything to 10
with the important work Of the draft
and in such cases, it is assumed the
Governor will not select them. Mess
the boards are composed of high class
men there will be charges of personal
or political favoritism. so it Is for the
Governors Of the States 10 see that so
far as possible there shall be no justiii-
cation for such allegations
