MISS AGNES BROWN
WEEDS KARL MATHIASEN

An autumn wedding with all of
the significance of the autumn sea-
son most appropriately describes
The marriage of Miss Agnes Nj.
Brown, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick l.. Brown, of High street,
to Alfred Mathiasen. son of Mr..
and Mrs arl Mithiasen of Keyport
which took place last evening at
1880 o'clock in st. Peters Episco-
pal church with the Rev. w.
Northey Jones officiating.
The rich autumn hues, predomi-
nant in the gowns. blended harmon
iousIy with the leaves decorating
the church chancel into one of the
prettiest weddings Perth Amboy has
ever known.
The ceremony was preceded by a
half hour of beautiful organ music
played by Maxwell MacMichael, Or
ganist of the church. The program
of numbers opened with The Choral
Minuet and Praper from Boellman's
sinte Gotique followed by Dubois
.'Cantitlene Nuptial." Godard's
"Berceuse," and two compositions
by Mcdowell ITO a Water Lily" and
ITO a Wild Rose" The wedding
march began promptly at the hour
of 1880 o'clock and the procession
proceeded to the altar, where the
bride was given in marriage by hcr
father.
Miss Brown was indeed a charm
ing bride. Her gown was of vor
white satin and while II was quite
simply made with chantilly lace run
with silver as its trimming. the court
train which extended from her shout
ders. richly embroidered in lilies OF
of the valley. roses and bow-nots,
achieved a stunning and becoming
effect. Orange blossoms adorned
the skirt of her gown and In a semi
wreath fastened her veil of tulle In a
cap effect around her hair. Her
flowers were an arm bouquet or Ill
les of the valley, white delphiums,
pansies and jasmine and these were
the completing touch of her costume.
The beauty of the bridal costume
was offset by the new shade of folly
red which was predominant in the
gowns of her attendants. Miss Alice
Brown, her sister, as her maid OF
honor. wore a handsome gown OF
embossed chiffon velvet in this un-
usual shade. The velvet was COM
bined with georgette in a Greek style
with a slight train, all of which be-
came the wearer.
The four bridesmaids were her
two sisters, the Misses Ella and Ma
RE Brown. Miss Hedwig Eskesen, OF
This city, and Miss Helena Mathia-
sen. sister of the groom. Miss Ella
Brown and Miss Eskesen, were at
tired alike in blouses of embossed
chiffon velvet with %georgette skirts
over silver cloth. all in the shade OF
folly red. Miss Marie Brown ana
Miss Mathiasen wore blouses of gold,
brocaded in the autumn shades while
their skirts were of folly red geor-
yette over silver cloth.

KAHN'S LIST IS REDUCED TO S4,185

The second item complained Of IS -! Iot s75." This is claimed to be covered by the acreage assessment. The acreage measurement, 2:0 acres. Is not claimed to be exact, and this item represents the house lot presumably small. The stat ute, section 11S3, seems to contemplate separate valuation of house lots, and 1t is testified that it is customary in Leo- anon to assess house lots separately from acreage.
 No error is found in this item. There remains the item of 22o acres of land. 100 titled and improved at $50 an acre making s3,000, and 12 acres un- improved at SIP an acre. making $l,44O, the total acreage valuation by the asses sors being s4,440.
 The weight of evidence indicates that this Assessment largely exceeds ''the | fair market value'' The fair market value does not exceed the valuation used i in the list of 1918, which the appellant who had returned as list without valua- tion, approved as proper to be put there | in.
 The valuations testified to by most of the witnesses result in a total lower than that which appellant approved, but he is stopped from claiming any lower valu- ation than that to which he agreed, tc wit; S2S6o, which, besides, is found tc be fair valuation of the acreage land.
 The list is reduced, by diminishing the item "2 other building not listed on this sheet $100' to fifty dollars and by di minishing the item 1920 acres of lanC ISAAC to s2,S6O,, thus diminishing tht total amount of the list from s5,S15 tc s4,1S5.

LETTER GIVES NOTICE OF
 FRAJ-D MAGAZINE SOLICITO-

The chamber of commerce is in receipt of a letter from the publishers of the monthly magazine called The Anericon Magazine" relative to bogus solicitations for that magazine. It seems that local people have been inveigled into subscrib- ing for this magazine at cost less than the usual price. upon payment of one dollar. These young men stated that they were working for a scholarship to a certain Massachusetts college, and have collected one dollar from those who de- sired to assist them. The communica- tion states that the salesmen who col lected this money are frauds and are en- tirely unauthorized. The regular yearly subscription for the American Magazine is S2.5O, and no one is authorized to take subscriptions for that magazine at lesser price.
 The communication goes on to state that to all appearances the offer accepted in this city is an exact parallel of one extended by two agents who had operat- ed in Main, New Hampshire, Vermont Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti cut, New Ycrk, New Jersey and Penn syIvania. These men were never in tht employ of tte magazine and consequent ! ly not authorized to act for them. It i: | assumed that the local operators wert | the same men WnO were arrested CI Saturday. February 26, in Plainield i New Jersey, for making the same fraud ulent offer and were fined $25 each.
 In order to protect the public as mucl as possible from such schemes as these the local chamber of commerce has de 1 veloped a plan whereby all solicitation of any kind whatsoever will be investi gated by a committee, and if found t
 be 9 bOnafde, will be given an approva card bearing the seal of the chamber
 The chamber of commerce desires a persons solicited witaout this approve card to notify the office of the chambe
 of commerce immediately and report tn
 facts to them. If this method is consist
 ently followed. fraudulent solicitors (

Judge Gardiner Greene of the superior court gives George H. Kahn of Yantic a reduction in his assessment on real estate
 in Lebanon by a decision handed down by the judge Tuesday in Kahn's appeal from the Lebanon board of relief. MT Kahn's total list is reduced from ,$5,lS0 to s4.1S5 by the decision by Judge Greene before whom the case was recently tried here.
 The following is the memorandum of decisions
 This is an appeal by George A. Kahn from the action of the board of relief Of the town of Lebanon. The appellant claims that the acton of the assessors. sustained by the board of relief, was unjust and unlawful in that they as- uessed his property above it's flair mar ket value, which the statute identifies with it's then present true and actual valuation" and also in excess of of the amount which was required by the rule of three fourth of market value used in Lebanon.
 The appellant failed to establish the existence of such a rule, and MT. Pitch- CT enc of the assessors testified that the rule in Lebanon is to assess at full mar ket value.
 The question remains whether the as- ! sessment exceeds "the true and actual valuation"
 The appellant complains of three items in his 1919 list. The first item is '"2 other buildings not listed on this sheet S1OO." There was but enc "other build ing" a dilapidated woodhouse, not worth over $50, and the s100 item is reduced to $50.
