National wedding (Scripps Macßae) Wh b’ D. C.. Feb. 17.—Miss Rocsevelt, ether daughter of uIb president of the United States, was married to Representative Nicl Longworth of Ohio, at [ 12:1, Saturday in the east room of thekvhite House. The Right Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, bishop of the!diocese of Washington, per Hjifened the nuptial rites, using the IBKfiy ceremonial of the Protestant Episcopal church. President Eoqsevelt led his daughter to the ftfekr and gave her to the young statesman from Ohio. Miss Alice had: no bridesmaids, for from her host of girl friends she could scarce- , jfi®ave selected any without hurt inglthe feelings of the others. The bridegroom was attended by Thcpi as Nelson Perkins of Boston, a Ke- tier of the corporation of ia aJvard University. Nearly all thefcshers were Harvard men. A fewknoments before the streke of tweti' Miss Roosevelt left her dainty boudoir on the second floor of tie White house, win re she had been assisted in donning her wed dinl garments by her cousins, the Robinson. On the arm of hs» lather she descended the private [elevator at the west end of *he«n nsion between the state din ing|oom and the breakfast room, while the marine band, stationed at the Barbie lobby, struck up the bride! chorus from “Tannhesser.” Miss Roosevelts left hand rested on her fathers arm, and in her right Bhe|arried a gorgeous boquet of white orchids and liiles. Her long bridal veil of the filmiest tex tore was fastened at the head with a BpTt •’ of orange The president were tie ccr.v< rticna 1 frock joat with striped Hausers, but kt unconventional “lay-down collar, which he refuses to discard in njfor of the regulation ‘stand up’Ki ar, style even for this great event. At the foot of the stairs they iwere met by the president's militat aids and the ushers, who led Ao march down tho loug cor ridorlo the east Room, where the guests had already assembled. was performed on ». a low platform before the large window overlooking the treasury building, the ushers having arranged themselves on either side. Among them was seen the manly young form of Theodore Roosevelt, jr., br 'her of the bride. The bridegr im’s family was represent ed by th- Vicomte ( harle de Cham bounibrother of the Comte Adel bert de Cambuan, who married M. Longjtorth’s younger sister; Buokne A*Wallingford, of Cincinnati, who ■karried his eldest, sister, and 1 arz | Anderson of Washington, grandson oi the first Nicholas Longworth. The other ushers were: Quincyl A. Shaw., jr., of Boston, Frederick Wintorp of New York, Francis R. Bangs of Boston, and Guy Norman of Boston, all of them ebllege mates of the groom. Tha wedding party all wore frock coats, striped trousers and white gloves,land were decorated with boutinpieres of white gardenias. Members of the two families were seated at the right, in a space set apart by floral chains. Across the aisle, at the left, were the repre sentatites of the foreign govern ments. | Behind these, in the order of offioiel precedence, were placed the members, of the cabinet and their wives, the justices of the su preme court and their wives, the foimer members of the cabinet who are now in the senate the Ohio delegation in congress, the New York delegation in congress, the members of the party that ac companied Miss Roosevelt to the Orient last summer and the personal frießds of the young couple. Mr. Longworth and his best man had entered the room by another door, and as he met his future wife and her father at the alter the notes of the wedding march weie blended into the sweet strains of De Kovens’?’Oh, Promise Me.” which was then played softly through the ceremony. In firm, clear voice Mr. Longworth repeated the vow, ”1 Nicholas take thee, Alice, to be my wife,” while the music of the unstrung words, “No love so perfect »s a life with thee,” floated gently through the room. The promise ?iven in return, and sealed with a plain gold band ring placed on the tn I ger of the bride, with right lands clapped they heard the sol- j 'inn words of the white robed | .( Kabop, “Those whom God hath blued—— then kneeling received

the benediction. When they arose the first to greet the new Mrs. Longworth was her father, J followed by the members of the two families. Still standing on the platform the bride and groom received the mst of the guests, remaining until all had offered their congratulations and best wishes. Breakfast was then served in the spacious state dining room by a famous New York caterer. The wed ding, and reception and the breakfast consumed but little more than two hours, and soon afterwards the bridal party followed by a great procession of friends and surrounded by the cheering crowd of citizens hastened to the railway station. There a splendid private car wait ing for Mr. and Mrs. Longwortb, to bear them away to southern orange groves of their honeymoon. This trip to the Southland will not be of long duration, for the groom must soon return to his desk in Congress. After adjournment, however the Longworths will take an extended journey to Europe, and in London, Paris, Berlin, and on the Riviera will enjoy to the full their deferred wedding tour. On their return they will be at home in Washington at the comfortable mansion. 831 18th St., the property of Mrs. Longworth, mother of the groom. Between Congressional sessions, and after Mr. Longworth quits public life, they will live at “Rockford” the ancestral home of the Lmgworth family, in Cincinnati. Unclaimed letters remain at the postoffice for for A. A. Davids, John King, Mr. A. M. Higge. The wife of J. C. Hatfield, a former clerk of the Wells circuit court, has filed suit for support, alleging that herjhusband has vanquished to some I lace unknown, and that he has an nterest in some Wells county real estate, which she wants the privilege of selling. John Smith who live? near Marion, had a mare stolen on the night of March 29, 1904. He advertised for a radius of fifty nailes about his home, but no trace was ever obtained of this property. Shortly after the date mentioned above a stranger sold an outfit to Lewis Andrews, a well known farmer of this community, at a bargain. Mr. Andrews had no idea the horse and rig had been stolen and told the neighbors and the officers of his good luck. No description of the outfit had been received here, and the matter had been almost forgotten until last week when Mr. Smith arrived, here and began an investigation. In the meantime Mr. Andrews had sold the mare and still hid a colt from the mare. He willingly turned the colt over to Mr. Smith and paid him for his buggy and Mr. Smith returned to Marion today. How Mr. Smith learned the location of his property is unknown. Another exciting chapter in th Berne saloon war was wii tten Monday when Judge Erwin fined four men, Jacob hunsicker, Samuel Kuntz, Samuel Sprunger and Moritz Ehrsam and ordered them sent to jail for thirty days each. The saloon men at once became penitent, begged like goodjellows, and promised to be good, the court finally remitting the jail ‘sentence. The recent grand jury returned six indictments against Springer, five against Kuntz, three against Ehr sam and three against Hunzioker for selling liquor without license. This morning the men appeared and Kuntz plead guitly in three cases, Sprunger in two and Hunzicker in one. The court reminded the prisoners at bar that two years before they had stood before him and promised io quit the illegal saloon business. Having failed to do so he believed they be entitled to no leniency and he then fined them <IOO in each case and sentenced them to jail for thirty days on each indictment. As stated the court afterwards withdrew the jail pen alty. The other oases were, dismissed. Sprunger is Kuntz’ bartender and this makes the latter s fine 1420 and costs, one of his .fine being <2O for keeping gambling device. Erhsam and Hunzioker paid their fines and Kuntz arranged to stay the docket for himself and Sprunger. The men promised faith fully to close up their “blind tigers” and it is believed the saloon business in Berne is over for the present at least. The costs in each case is <12.45. It is said one of the saloon men actually wept when he heard the jail sentence and each man gave some reason why he should not be sentenced. Later— Kun’z paid his fines.

A marriage license has been issued to Hurber F. Drew and M. Cooper, both of [Geneva. The groom is nineteen (and the bride seventeen years of age. A whirring and rumbling of hideous noises; the flashing of lightning and the strange roaring of peals of thunder; the sight of some poor unfortunate struggirg against tie demon of hell incar nate; behold the demon-like forms that belch the curses of damnation. Mephisto,—“Hy good Doctor, look, see; all this you shall feel,- and more; you soall know what it is to mock the pure and the innocent; to give thy soul into my keeeping. I, Satan, whom all the universe fear and tremble (U for the soul of one wise man to show on judgment day—though I gather fools, and my work is never done” With this night grows darker; the storm rages; demons gather in midnight revelry and curse the inmmaculare angel—the Virgin Mary; and is his bidding from the throne of Then there comes a lull, and all roars forth in a wreathing mass of fire with enohannting hideousness and the curtain falls to hide from view the remorse of the lost soul. Viewers John T. Ault and L. W Lewton and Surveyor Baumgartner have completed their reports and estimates of the cost of the Soham erloh, Hart, Stegmeyer, Ahr and Blakey macadam road all in Union township and the same will come up for action of the commissioners at their next session unless something arises to occasion delay a day will then be set for an election. This election can be called for sometime in April when the electorate there may vote for or against the construction of all five roads. Sentiment favorable to the roads is daily being created. The people of Union township have begun to figure that good macadam roads are not a luxury but a necessity and that the cost of owning such roads is far from being the extravagance that we might suppose. For many years Union township has been paying its equal share with every other township for the repair of these roads. In all these years of paying not one cent of repair went tc Union township because they had no macadam roads. These five petitions now show their good sense in formulating a system whereoy in a few years the entire township will be benefitted by good roads. It is the best and the fairest way to improve their roads In the coming town ship election it is their intention to vote every road and to build them as fast as it can be done. At the present time there is no indebtedness for this sort of improvement against the township. The Rev. Alfred Fowler at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning preached on “The Obser vance of the Sabbath”. At the close of the sermon the following resolution was read to the congregation. The entire congregation by a unanimous rising vote en dorsed the resolution: "Ye, the officials, communicants, and ad herents of tne First Presbyterian church of Decatur, Indiana, do depreciate and deplore the sensualizing of the Sabbath day by any form of business or traveling in the interests of business, by any and all pleasure excursions, by all social functions and by whatever way the use of the Sabbath is di verted from its sacred chraracter as a day or rest and divine worship. And especially do we regard with disfavor Sunday baseball playing as a public sport, and any other games which may possibly be arranged for during the coming summer months in Dcatur, Indiana. We most earnestly urge upon all our members and young people in dividual responsibility in relation to this question and the vital im portance of personal obedience to the fourth commandmet, both for their own spiritual life and that of the church and community.” In Isiah 58:13-14, we read: “If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord honorable; and shall honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking [thy own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself ,in the Lord, and will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, ;thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

A SCRUBBING BRUSH. The Way It Is Made and the Keavoa It Coutu So Little. Two things have made it possible for the modern "lady of the house" to buy for 5 or 10 cents a scrubbing brush which would have cost her mother half a dollar. One is the invention of the brush filling machine, the other tho liscovery of the possibilities of "fiber.” This is a comprehensive word, it embraces all sorts of vegetable substances which, from their stiffness when wet, their tenacity and their divisibility, can be made to take the place of bristles. One of the commonest is that known as "bass" or "bast.” It is the leaf fiber of the piassava tree and is imported frutoi Africa, Ceylon and South America. The factories reseive it in the form of large bales, each made up of separate banks or "pigtails,” which must first be hacked or combed, much as wool or flax is carded. When the fibers have thus been laid parallel th° bunch or pigtail is passed to the guillotine, a cutter in which tinmaterial is steadily fed forward, while a blade like that of the French instrument of execution cuts it into the delired lengths. Meanwhile the back of the future brush has been prepared. It may be made from any kind of hardwood, but beech, birch and maple are the favorites. The blanks are sawed, to size and are finished on the edges by revolving cutters, like those of an ordinary molding machine or of the Jathe for turning lasts. They are then ready to be bored. This was formerly done by a drill which made each hole separately. The modern machine contains as many drills as there are holes to be bored. They may be arranged in any desired pattern, and at a single thrust will bore all the holes and bore them to a uniform depth. The back and the fill ing now come together. The fiber, cut to twice the length of each tuft, is placed in the trough of the filling machine. from which a toothed rack picks up exactly the same quantity each time—enough for one knot or tuft. As this little bunch of fiber advances on one side of the machine a strip of iron feeds forward on the other. The two will meet above the holes in the back of the brush, which the operator is holding in place, but just before that happens a die descends and punches Tom tha strip of metal a small piece shaped somewhat like an inverted pair >f trousers. This bit of iron Is known as the “an■her." It is deposited, waistband down, upon the center of the tuft of fiber, that is simultaneously folded upon itself, thrust into the waiting hole in the brush back and driven home by a plunger. The blow serves not merely to force the knot or tuft of fiber to the bottom of the hole, but, striking between the two shanks of iron which represent the legs of the trousers, it spreads them apart and so drives the sharp outer and upper corners into the wood at the sides of the hole. A pull on the tuft of fiber merely presses these corners deeper in to the wood and locks the tuft more sec trely. Two brushes a minute is the average rate at which all this is done. The operator’s only duties are to see that the machine has a sufficient supply of fiber and of metal tape and that the brush back is so placed that the plunger hits the hole accurately.—Youth's Companion. Screens In China. Screens are to be seen everywhere in the dragon empire. They are carved of teakwood and handsomely painted with various figures and devices. In some parts of China bedsteads similar to our own are used. They are curiously carved, with drawers underneath and shelves for bolding toilet necessities, all of which are hidden out of sight by drawers which look like a beautiful screen. The rooms in the different suits of apartments are separated one from another by the carved wooden scrollwork for which the Chinese are famous. It is usually dark and gives a very rich and handsome appearance to the whole interior, which is dull and dark—owing to the want of windows—until the myriads of lanterns are lighted. The carving is sometimes gilded, and sometimes the wood is left in a state ot nature with a high polish. Doorways are often half filled in with it. Again, a low, deep frieze is seen ail around the room. The women’s apartments particularly are decorated with ths carved work. Whatever can be imagined as contributing to pleasure and <he support of luxury is to be found in the secluded quarters devoted to the women. Music “by Ear." Never a music teacher existed who did not discourage and discountenance playing the piano "by ear.” as ths tai ent for hearing a strain and reprodtic Ing it has been somewhat ambiguously termed. Yet there thrives in the center of New York an enterprising and not too particular person whose avocation It is to “teach the piano by ear,” as his window sign puts it. He has quite a clientele too. Presumably his task lies with those that possess a musical ear to start with and want quick results. To such he Imparts a knowledge of chords and their relative changes sufficient to carry the pupil through many of the tunes heard and remembered. When once the bass accompani ments are known the learner is practically equipped for public performance. The "orofescor" Fives a recital

yvery once in awhile, on these occasions the programme is a wonderful succession of ragtime, popular songs and selections from new light operas and old heavy ones. One wonders what the teacher could accomplish with an applicant who desired to “play by ear* and, like Charles Lamb, had none.— New York Ft-et. SIMPLE HEALTH RULES, Temperance, Ao Worry, n Youthfv. Mind, Plenty of Sleep. A famous New York physician, now hale and handsome at seventy-five, sums up his half a century of medical practice and observation in these simple rules of health: First.—Be temperate in all things,, in matters of amusement ae study as well as in regard to foods and drinks. To be temperate in all things, however, does not imply that one must b» a prohibitionist about anything. Second.—Don’t be afraid to go tc sleep, for sleep is the best restorer of wasted energies. Sleep a certain number of hours every night and then remember that a shoft nap during the lay is a safer rejuvenator than a cocktail. Third.—Don’t worry either about th. past or the future. To waste a single hour in regret for the past is as senseless as to send good money after that which has been irrecoverably lost. To fret oneself about what tne future may have in store is about as’ reasonable as to attempt to brush back tne tide of the ocean with a broom. Worry, of whatever kind, banishes contentment, and contentment is a necessity ot youth. Fourth.—Keep tire mind youthful. Live in the present with all the other young people. Don’t get to be reminiscent. Let the old people talk about the past, for the mere act of tliii.kiug about old things reminds the mind of its years. Reminiscences are dangerpus, whether they be soothing or sweet or sad, for they characterize old age and must be sedulously avoided by those who would be ever young. Fifth.—Keep up ■with the times. Don't fall behind the procc. -ion. Tc Accomplish this learu one new fact svery day. The mind that is satisfied to live upon the lessons it learned in its youth soon grows old and musty. To keep young it must be fresh and active—that is, abreast with the times. The old methods of thought and the old facts may have been correct enough once upon a time, but that time has passed. Today they are obsolete and only amusing as relics of antiquity. To remain young, therefore, one must keep the storehouse of the memory clear of all such rubbish. Throw away one of the mildewed relics every day and replace it with some newer, fresher and more up to date fact. Here, then, ia this New York physician’s secret of perennial youth in a nutshell: Be temperate! Don't be afraid to go to sleep! Don't worry! Keep the mind youthful. And —keep up with the times! It is not a difficult rule of life to follow. It is ever so much easier than wandering about strange lands is search of hidden springs. It is somewhat pleasanter than stewing ovex >1! smelling crucibles. Moreover it has tbs advantage of being thoroughly practicable, which makes it well worth trying.—New York World. Xenophon as a Don Fancier. Xenophon opens his disquisition on hounds by an enumeration of all the defects, physical and moral, which a hound should not possess, wherein it la easy to recognize all the failings which are still among us. Leggy hounds, weedy bounds, flat sided hounds, flat footed hounds, undersized hounds headstrong hounds, flashy hounds, sulky hounds, dwellers, babblers, skirV rrs—all are faithfully portrayed and uncompromisingly condemned. “Hounds with such faults as these, whether du* to nature «r to bad training, are of lit tie worth. They are enough to disgust even a truly keen sportsman.” A good bound should have a light small, sinewy head, a long, round, flexible neck- broad chest, free shoulders, straight, round, wiry fore legs, straight knees, round sides, muscular loins, full flanks, but not too full. His thighs should be firm, compact and well let down, his feet round and his stern long, straight and tapering. Such is Xenophon’s description of a good hound. It seems to us not amiss for the fourth century before our era. Stonevrnll Jaekßon's Battled. Stonewall Jackson's negro body serv ant knew before anybody else when a battle was imminent. “The general tells you, I suppose,” said one of the soldiers. “Lawd, no. sir! De gin'ral huvver tell me nothin'. I obsarvates de ’tention of de gin'ral dis way: Co'se he prays jest like we all mornin' an' night, but when he gits up two, three times in a night to pray den I rubs my eyes an’ gits up, too, an' packs de haversack, ca'se I done fine out dere’s gwine to be old boy to pay right away.”—From Mrs. Roger A. Pryor’s “ReminisceuFuddevl Coachmen. In Russia it is a mark of distinction for a coachman to have a very rotund figure. The drivers of fashionable carriages appear at first to be abnormally stout. As a matter of fact this appearance, according to Burton Holmes, who made some investigations recently, is doe to the skillful padding of the coachman's livery. The padding is done with cotton, and some remarkable results are obtained.

Any one who keeps house in Venice will find that the picturesqueness of surroundings is carried out in all the details of life. The kitchen, for instance, will be more primitive than any kitchen you have yet seen if your apartment is anything snort of a palace. It Is apt to be a spacious room, around the top of whit-ii runs a row of shelves filled with pewter plates. There are rows of copper pots and saucepans, and there are fascinating earthen dishes and casseroles of every size, and in the ini-. n'ory ihere is sure to be round wooden board with a stubby handle, io turn out the steaming polenta on. I’oienta is nothing in the world but an excellently made cornmeal mush —a con,:: e,il mush with the mushinesleft out. tor to be perfect polenta must have consistency. Besides the exact proportions of water, salt and meal, po lenta. to be good, must be stirred continually. and a long cudgel for this purpose is another item in the kitchen furnishing. Our polenta was cooked in a copper pot hung on a crane over a wood fire, and this brings me to the cookinj arrangements. There is no stove in this Venetian kitchen: there is nothing to cook on by means of which an American cook could turn out a square meal. There is a wide soapstone hearth, th« site of the ordinary range, surmounted by an imposing hood. On this hearth, without aid of andirons, is bui’.t a wood fire. The sticks are long, and only one end is lighted. The other end extends out on the edge of the hearth, and as the lighted ends burn down the stick is pushed back into the flame. On either side of this fire stands a fornello. an earthenware vessel something like a large square flowerpot. In these are made charcoal fires quite large enough to heat two flatirons at the same time. This is all the cooking arrangement. There is no place for roasting or baking. No bread, cake or biscuit Is ever male in an Italian house, (f you wish to roast a turkey or a la ge bird you send it in its pan, with the butter for its basting, to the baker, who roasts it to a beautiful browr for from 3 to 5 cents. The smaller fowls are roasted in one ot the large copper casseroles, and by turning and twisting and basting incessantly the bird is perfectly roasted as one would wish. There is no place for keeping anything hot on this eu> bryonic range, and with only three places for cooking something must be cooked first and set aside to make way for other dishes. On the other hand, there could not be a more economical way of cooking. In a very few mo ments the charcoal fire burns at full pitch, and if one wishes for just enough and no more to broil a chop one may have it without having to light a Dre sufficient to cook an entire dinner, as one would have to do with us, for ths fuel for an American kitchen range casts anywhere between 25 and !i* cents a day. In Italy fuel, includiuf both wood and charcoal, costs 10 cents a day for a family of moderate size.— Pilgrim. ® J True Courage True courage is cool and calm The bravest of men have the least of a brutal, bullying insolence and in the very time of danger are found Che most serene, pleasant and free.
