A CHRYSANTHEMUM WEDDING.

Rev. Henry L. Davis and Miss Mabel Houlehan United In Marriage Amid Decorations of This Popular Flower.

The homo of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Houlehan, on west Main street, presented a pretty scene Wednesday night when the one hundred and twentyfive guests arrived who had been invited to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mabel, to Rev. Henry L. Davis, of Rockville. The hall and parlor were decorated with yellow and white chrysanthemums and smilax, the sitting room with pink and white chrysanthemums, the library with smilax and ferns and the dining room with pink and white chrysanthemums. The table in the center of the dining room had a large bowl of chrysanthemums, and heavy strands of smilax were drawn from the chandelier to the four corners of the table and intertwined with white satin bands. In the sitting room, where the ceremony was performed, the mantel had been banked with southern fern, smilax, palms and chrysanthemnrca, and a dove was suspended by white satin ribbons over the heads of the bridal party. Shortly before eight o'clock Miss Eliza Harmon began the wadding march from Lohengrin, to which the bridal party descended the stairs. Down the front stairs came the bride on the arm of her father, they being"preceded by the two little sisters of the bride, Miss Ruth bearing the ring on a satin pillow, and Miss Mary, who took the bride's flowers during the ceremony. The bride was attired in a beautiful costume of white swiss, with trimmings of lace and white satin ribbons, made en traine, long sleeves and high neck, and carried bride's roses.

They were met in front of the bank of flowers by the groom and the officiating minuter, Rev. James G. Campbell, of South Bend, who came down the back stairs. Arriving at the altar the full Episcopal ceremony, including the ring and responses was used, Miss Harmon rendering softly during the service "The Avowal" by Thoeme. At the conclusion of the ceremony the entire company united in repeating the Lord's prayer. The bridal party then led the way to the dining room where refreshments were served, after which a reception followed, the guests having the opportunity to extend congratulation to Rev. and Mrs. Davis. The assistants in the parlor were Mrs. Louis McMainsand Mrs. Charles Hirst, and in the dining room Misses Marie Tinsley, Sarah Yount, Zjruah Stalnaker, Clarissa Snyder, Opal Quilien and Blanche Davis, while upstairs Miss Florence Myers assisted the guests. Tne ushers were Earl and Fred Houlehan, brothers of the bride. In the hall upstairs were shown the presents to the bride and they were many and varied, a full set of Haviland china being among them. The groom's congregation also presented the bride a cook stove, dining table and chairs for their home. Rev Davis was pastor of Trinity Methodist church in this city for several years and made many warm friends who wish him and his bride a happy future. Mrs. Davis is a member of Trinity church and is a young lady of many graces of mind and heart and who will ably assist her husband in his life work. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left on the midnight train for Louisville and other southern cities, and will be at home after December 1, at Rockville, where the groom is pastor of the Methodist church, and has a home already furnished for the occupancy. Among the out of town guests were Mrs. Davis, mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. William Keller and Mrs. Arthur Elliott, of Indianapolis Dr. arid Mrs. Chas. Souders, of Pittsboro Mr. and Mrs. William Lowery and son Paul, of Terre Haute Mr. and Mrs. George Shanklin, Mr. and Mrs. Clint Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. John Shanklin, of Yountsville Mrs. John Messmore, Mrs. William Oray, James Mclntire and Mrs. Mary Wilson, of Wesley.

^Comment and Storyj

A lady stopped in a well known drug store a few weeks ago and| asked the accommodating .proprietor to suggest some easy way of taking castor oil. The druggist suddenly struck a great idea. "Madam," said he, "let mo give you a sample of a new flavor in soda water which we have just put in," and as he turned on the bizz he deftly put a libei il dose of castor oil in the glass. The ady took the soda and pronounced it go )d. "But you have forgotten my question about the castor oil," she said, "Not at all madam, not at all," said the druggist with his blandest smile, "you.have just taken it with the soda water."

A strange expression came over the lady's face. She made for the door, but turned before leaving and gasped: "But I wanted the oil for my sister."

I havte lostm^ney on the contract here because of the failure to get brick and had hoped to have the entire contract finished before this and would havo had if the brick had been forthcoming. The work has been veryt slow and unsatis factory as such contracts must be done quick to make any money."

L. C. Willis: "Monday I put a want ad. in THE JOURNAL for a girl for our reception room and I have been entertaining numerous applicants ever since. They came in person and called me up by telephone and to make mat ters worse, I forgot to take the ad out and it ran a second time, with the re suit that I have had a number of other applicants that missed the first inset tion.

Eight years ago he united with the Methodist church at Russellviiie, where he has been a faithful member and a regular attendant at tho Sunday school, where he will bo greatly raissed. Ho was also an honored member of the K. of P. lodge, having .lined a few months ago.

He leaves a father, mother, one brother, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his absence, yet we feel our loss is his eternal gain.

THF, BEER TAX.

Correspondent Would Devote the Revenue to Improved Mall Facilities Good Roads and Bond Buying.

To the Editor of The Journal.

If we should refuse to make any fur-1 ther reduction in the beer tax and transfer it to the postoHlce department! we could not only extend rural routes I over one million square miles to the great benefit of rural population oceupying this territory, but at the same time give employment to many thous-1 and persons as mail carriers and increase the businet-s of the printers, publishers and paper makers and also give much employment In the building of scores of thousands of mail wagons and still save much time to the people in bringing their mall to them at their home on the farm.

Another great reform oould be accomplished with a small part of this tax of sixty cents on the barrel of beer. The money order receipts were $1,4:5,145.85 or less lees than $1,500,000 if all the money orders were issued free of cost, it would only add about one and one half per cent, to the cost of the service, or to give us a free money order system for the whole country and a free rural delivery over one million tquare miles, would require only about three-fourths of this sixty cent tax on beer.

With postal wagons running over a million square miles a parcel post would add greatly to the comfort and welfare of the people. The proposal to make the issuance of money orders free of cost, to all, would have to encounter the oppositions of the banks and express companies, and a parcel

*1'1 vmj \Jv/11.1|/t»(iigO| c*UU |JHI UtJi post would be warmly opposed by the

express companies and some of the merchants, but those whose class interests would make them oppose free postal money orders and a parcels post would not amount to one per cent, of the people of the country. That is ninety-nine percent, would be benifitted by such legislation. To propose a free money order system it may be, would encounter such strong opposition as to entirely defeat it, yet it would do the country far more good than the repeal of tho law, requiring stamps on bank checks.

That if it had been ["required that enough of the revenue derived from

check stamps should be paid to the postonice department to make good tbe loss made by a free [money order the country would bo the gainer. But if we may not Ihope for a

free money orden system, wo should have a uniform rate for money orders. A letter will be carried a mile or thousands of miles at tho same price, and cost to t.he government of a money order for'SlOO is no more than for an order for fifty cents. And tho charge, if any maue, should bo the same without reference to the amount. If Lhe policy here outlined ,should' bo adopted it would,' only lessen tho surplus fifteen millions, while sixty or seventy millions must be diverted from the treasury to othorfuses, or repealed.

Instead of repeal, transfer the tax on beer, before any addition- was made on account of the Spanish war, lo a roadmaking diversion added to the department of the interior.
