Provencher-Grondin

One of the outstanding weddings
of the season was solemnized yes
terday morning at 1870 o'clock by
Rev. FIR. Chabot Of the Sacred Heart
church, when William Provencher of
this city, led to the altar, Cecile NJ.
Grondin, of 4S Oak street.
Miss Blanche Grondin, sister of the
bride acted as bridesmaid, and
Adolph Mahue as best man.
The bride presented most charm
Ing appearance in gown of nile
green georgette, ecrue lace trimmed,
with hat to match, and CARRYING a
beautiful bouquet of bridal roses. The
maid enhanced the picture in a
splendid printed chiffon with hat to
match, and carrying sweet peas and
baby breath.
An inspiring Ave Maria was sung,
rendered by Mrs. 3. c. Kirkpatrick,
of Rumford Falls, sister OF the bride
and we'll known here in the past as
a soloist of rich abilities, having ap-
peared many times on the local
stages. Harry Marcoux, the famous
baritone soloist also rendered a Sc
lection in his usual artistic style.
A very large attendance at the
church attested to the popularity of
bridegroom and bride. Mr.. Proven
cher, formerly of Lewiston, has been
In this city for several years, and for
long time has been the very popu-
lar pianist at the Opera House with
Walter Hoods orchestra.
Mrs. Provencher has ushered al

to the people in this vicinity.
A feature of the occasion which
cannot we'll be omitted was an ex-

Joyed by all at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. George H
Grondin, of Oak street. This took
place Immediately after the couples
return from the church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Provencher were the
recipients Of many beautiful and use
ful gifts from friends and relatives
with hundreds of we'll wishes for
their future happiness.
The bridegroom's gift to the best
man was an emblematic card case
! engraved with the symbols of the
Knights Of Columbus. The gift OF
the bride to the maid was a beauti-
full amber necklace.
Those from out-of-town who at
tended were Mrs. William Proven
cher of Lewiston, Mr.. and Mrs. P.
Provencher, also of Lewiston, Mr..
and Mrs. Roland Mclaughlin of
Bangor, and Mr.. and Mrs. B. c.
Kirkpatrick, of Rumford Falls.
The welded couple left early in
the day on a two weeks honeymoon

ELM CITY CITIZENS
DISCUSS WELFARE
AT MASS MEETING

At mass meeting Of the citizens
OF Waterville held last evening in
the council rooms Of the City Build
ing many interesting matters rela-
tive to the welfare Of the city were
discussed. Mayor Herbert G., Libby
in a brief address brought to the at.
tention OF the gathering the salient
needs of this community, Offering
numerous suggestions and timely
hints which might we'll indeed be
pondered upon. He touched upon the
Lockwood Mills shutdown, on parks
and play grounds, new enterprises.
summer camp business, and in fact
nearly everything Of vital interest to
the city as a whole. He said that
this was meeting whose prime OBJ
Ject was to talk things over in a
calm and friendly way for the ulti-
mate good Of all.
Mr.. Quinton Of the Lockwood
Mills gave an intensely interesting
talk on the reason for business de-
preston In the textile industries,
citing facts and figures which were
new, and in some cases rather start
ling to the hearers. He said that
from a standpoint Of investment no
one could be more interested in the
continuous operation of the mills
than the management itself, and that
everything possible was being done
to keep the wage Garner at his ma
chine. He also said that he stood
ready to help any one, any dozen or
any hundred men who were absolute
~ in need as a result Of the shut
down.
Raymond Rodgers gave an illumin-
O NO a Aiv-
stressing the advantages Of parks
and play grounds, adequate police
protection and the crying need for
better protection of children.
Mrs. Florence NJ. Wallace of the
Chamber of Commerce spoke on
matters peculiar to the Chamber and
gave clear cut illustrations Of what
other cities were doing, of what was
being done, and what might be done
in the future.
o. J. Giguere touched briefly on
the retail merchants view of the sit
uation, saying that there were stores
enough in the city, but not enough
business industries.
Superintendent of Schools c. E.
Glover in an excellent address out
lined the general situation as he saw
it, pointing out the fact that the city
needed greater vision. To build for
the future, that was the part Of his
talk which he emphasized strongly
and persistently. He suggested that
a permanent commission be appoint
ed to plan, to study, to advance ways
and means of doing things, that Wa
terville might grow to great things.
Many others talked on subjects that
caught the attention of every one
present, many suggestions were Of
fered. many new ideas given light
for the first time. and without a
doubt citizens who attended will
have much to think on for days to
come as result of this meeting.

Colby Librarian
Compares Conditions
With Those of Past

The sneaker of the day at the Ro-
t,ry dinner held at the Elmwood Ho-
t.I Yesterday noon was Ernest c. Mar
r-ner. librarian of Colby College. A
tor,narison Of conditions existing to-
6av with those of past periods was
Inc interesting subject of his speech,
H. said that a good many people really
believed that the six years of the
1905 20 TO make up period Of fool
,shness, lawlessness, immortality and
general corruption never before paral-
Ielled in history. According to certain
Witnesses Of the day, the country is
hound for perdition with all possible
sueed. The speaker in the course of
his talk gave many logical reasons
which would serve to dispel this illu-
sion. He pointed out that the average
Individual is always intensely inter-
ested in the living present. Whatever
We see before our eyes strikes US as
being either wholly pleasant or utterly
terrible. Impressions received today
are vivid, naturally reacting with a
greater degree of force.
He mentioned having witnessed
truly wonderful motion picture play,
bass! faithfully upon fine work OF
literature. About half the audience
left the theatre, presumably bored to
death. Why? The picture left moth
ing 10 be desired. it ran true to life, a
work of art. But it lacked perhaps
the one thing that the public clamors
for today-the element Of flight and
pursuit.
Witnesses for the prosecution Of the
present day, he said, bring up such
testimony as this: A modern fiapper's
costume, including shoes, was found
10 weigh exactly ii ounces. This, IN
the matter of dress, sounds very in
eliminating. Another incident which
some think spells positive corruption:
young lady was asked by another II
she believed in the devil, and she an
svered: Nav. The devils just like
Santa Claus-its your father"
These incidents, he intimated, were
really trivial when it comes to lnolct-
ing the age.
In speaking of the 1870's and '90s
he showed by well pointed examples
that those times were little different
from the present in a general sense.
The los had it's whisky ring and Its
Tweed ring and it's crime waves ana
many other things which were little
better than some of our fault sof to-
day. The COS gave US vast quantities
Of adulterated food, which is one
thing that does not worry US now.
They gave US the mick Carter,
Diamond Dick and "Old Sleuth" sto-
RES, which perhaps measure as high
as much of the true confession" stun
found at present on our news stands.
He inferred that this age is very lit
tie different from others that are past,
but we're simply getting nearer

In conclusion he said that we have
always taught the young to keep With

i We showed them how to keep the
law within.
