Plymouth's First Marriage.

This Is wedding anniversary and
n tercentenary at that. On May -,
1921, the first English marriage in
New England was performed. The
principals were two OF the Mayfiower
passengers. The bride was SUSANNA
WHITE and the groom was EDWARD
WrNsLow.
Both contracting parties had been
recently widowed. SUSANNA came to
Plymouth as the wife Of WILLIAM
WHITE They had n son. RESOLVED,
when they sailed from Leyden. and
another son, PEREGRrNE. was born to
them In Cape Cod Harbor on Novem-
bert to0, 1920, few days after the
landing. WILLIAM WHITE was one
Of the many Pilgrims who died the
first winter.
A month after SUSANNA WHITE
was left n widow EDWARD WINsLow
lost his young wife, ELIZABETH, whom
he had married about two years be
fore the great voyage. SO here we're
n lonely pair In land which was
not fit for loneliness. The courtship
was brief indeed; the marriage OF
the Widow WHITE and the Widower
WTNsLow occurred less than two
months after ELrzABETH WINsLow's
death. Thus, within six months
SUSANNA became New England's first
mother and first bride.
II was probably the first civil mar
riage In the New World. Governor
BRADFORD was In favor Of the civil
marriage 1t was thought, he wrote
IN his history, "most requisite to be
performed by the Magistrate, as
being civil thing, upon which many
questions about inheritances doe de-
rende with other things most proper

nante TO the scripturs, Ruth 4, and no

office" The matter Of civil mar

A Test for MIR. Edison.

With all due respect for very
distinguished gentleman, 1t must be
said that Mr.. EDIsoN's method OF
measuring intelligence. If turned
against himself, might easily and
swiftly register him among the min
compoops.
Suppose, for example, that Mr.
EDISON is put upon honor this morn
ing not to resort to the refer
ence library, and Is then confronted
not with a hundred and fifty test
questions but only with the sub
joined ten. with ten minutes in which
to overhaul his memory cells:
/. Where was the Serbonlan bog
and what entire armies we're sunk
therein?
2. Who wrote MARY had a little
lamb?
3. In what town In Illinois did
ABRAHAM LINCOLN deliver his long
est speech in the debate with Douo-
LAS?
4. Where is Sidi Bou Said?
s. Give the text of the Curse OF
ERNuLpHus.
8. What was the date OF the in
vention of the ordinary cartwheel?
Z. What is a bannalanna?
s. when and why was the d.
gamma dropped7
.. How many white beans. on the
average, to the bushel?
10. Who struck WILLIAM PArrER.
SON, and why?
There is no greater humbug than
what Is called research work" In
matters of this sort. Dictionary and
cyclopadia and phrase book hunting
Is not real research work. Yet five
minutes with the card index and
book shelves often give to n preten-
tious individual sense of general
information and 4 fancied proprietor
ship In special knowledge which
twenty years of important and origi-
nal study may not induce.
We shall not think less highly Of
Mr.. EDIsoN's mentality-that is a
word in faslfion-if he frankly con-
fesses that without recourse to ad-
aid he must funk on every
one of the ten.
The principle is simple enough and
obvious enough. The wise employer
will try to ascertain the quality Of the
intelligence rather than the mere con-
tents of the memory of those on
whose assistance he expects to de
pend; the sharpness OF the blade of
the plane. not the bulk of the pile
Of shavings.

Welcome to Mime. Curie.

Nine. CuRIE, who discovered radium
and who is visiting the United States
to receive the public and academic
honors she has earned by hard and In
telligent labor under adverse circum-
stances, is numbered among the select
and fortunate pioneers Of scientific
research whose reward in popular es-
TEEN has not been withheld until after
heir death. BELL, with the tele-
phone; MARcoNr with wireless, the
Wrights with the airplane, EDISON
with electric light, are other members
Of this company; they saw the fruits
of their patience, skill and daring put
into useful service by mankind.
To the speculative 1t must be over
matter Of keenest regret that
LANGLEY did not live to see the plane
he built equipped with a motor sue
cessfully navigating the air; how In
tcresting 1t would be to hear the
comments OF FRANKLIN on the EN-
ployment of electricity In our every
day lifel Nine. CURrE has lived to
see the element she isolated alle-
viate the condition Of those stricken
with disease and employed in a con-
stantly increasing field Of usefulness
in art and industry. This must be a
source Of the highest qualification to
her as a humane woman. AS a
scholar her intellectual satisfaction
in the knowledge that the source of
power she disclosed to the wcrld has
already deeply influenced theories Of
matter must be profound. Nor can
Nine. CURIE, no matter how detached
is her mind from the trivialities of
life, be insensible to the interest her
fame has excited among those who
make no pretence Of understand -g
the chemical and mechanical p; Jper-
ties of her discovery but who recsg-
Lie in her contributor of splendid
things to civilizations stock of sclen-
tlic knowledge.
That In the course OF her visit Nine
CuRIE is to receive as popular gift
a gram of radium Is an incident
which will fittingly commemorate at
cnce her epoch making discovery, the
scientific Importance Of her work and
the popular tribute which is paid to
her genius.

Rights of Criminals.
A Clerical View Of the Cases Of Berg
doll, Arnold and Judas.

TO THE NEW York HERALD: In the
accounts OF the cross-examinatlon OF
General Anseli. counsel Of Grover c.
Bergdoll. before the Congressional in
Testigating committee at Washington.
Representative Johnson asked General
Ansell IL he would undertake the de-
guilty and TO enable him to escape the
consequences OF his guilt.
It seems scarcely conceivable that a
Representative In Congress is ignorant
OF the well established law that an ac-
cused person must be proved guilty be-
fore a duiy constituted tribunal before
he is convicted So true is this and so
elementary that even the testimony OF
an accused person against himself will
not suffice for a convection unless cor
roborated by other witnesses.
SO too is the law equally clear that
although lawyer Is himself witness
to the commission of a crime yet he is
justified in undertaking the defence of
such a criminal and OF throwing about
him all the safeguards that any alleged
criminal is entitled to. Such at least
was the doctrine taught me some forty
years ago. when It was my good fortune
to sit under the learned Professor
Dwight at the Law School Of Columbia
University.
In reference to the case OF the traitor
Benedict Arnold and that of Judas Is
cariot. whose names were brought into
the cross-examination. / wish to say
with regard to the former that even he,
had he been captured, would have been
entitled to the advice and aid OF coun-
sci lest his rights be Jeopardized, since
according to the laws of the United
States no one shall be convicted or
treason except on the testimony OF two
witnesses to the same overt act. So
also in the case of the Iscariot: as
Gods mercy is without limit, IL Judas
after he repented Of his execrable deed.
had come to the Master and besought
forgiveness instead of committing sui
eide he would have found an able ad-
vocate to defend him in the Lord Him
relf General Ansell answered well
when ne replied that he would not hesi-
tate to defend either of those miscreants
IL called upon to do so.

Oracular, aud yet sometimes remote

Bear blended chords OF joyance and oi

Yet these have not the dawn winds ut

Charlie Chaplin's Hurts.

That CHARLIE CHAPLIN fell over 4
blow torch In his studio and was pain
fully burned about the legs is a mat
ter of intimate concern to literally
millions OF men and women and chill
dren in every part of the globe to
which the motion picture has pene-
trated. II is safe TO say that personal
misfortune to no other individual now
alive would excite such deep feeling
as does an accident to this astonish-
ingly active mime, whose face and fig
ure command the attendance of more
thousands than respond to the appeal
of any other character on the screen.
The feeling which possesses his fol-
lowers Is not wholly unselfish. They
regret the suffering Mr.. CHAPLIN must
endure. but at the same time they
fear for his future. They wonder as
to the Interpretation to be put upon
the severely professional phrase de-
scriptive of his hurts as painful but
not serious" The thought that CHAP
LIN may not be able again to perform
such intricate and difficult grotesque-
ries as those which have convulsed
them in the past cannot be kept from
their minds. Yet to degree which
must not be ignored CHARLIE CHAP
LIN possesses the hearts of those who
crowd the theatres in which his ap-
palling misfortunes and astonishing
contortions are reproduced. Though
they think Of their own future, at the
same time they truly sympathlze with
him In this real misadventure.
