Last Saturday evening the marriage of Dr. Charlton Pratt of Willow Branch and Miss Leora Fort, only daughter of Moses C. Fort, was witnessed by about seventy-five guests, at the beautiful country home of the bride's father in Brown township. The guests began to arrive about o'clock, and were received by Miss Clara Loudenback who made a most admirable mistress of ceremonies. At 0 o'clock p. m. the wedding march was played by Miss Tillie Trees of arrington, and the contracting parties were conducted to the large reception room where the guests were assembled, and the beautiful and impressive marriage service of the Methodist Episcopal church was conducted by Fev. J. W. Bowen of Charlottesville. After con granulations, the company was ushered into the spacious dining room, where a most elegant repast was served, superintended by Miss Ella Lynum, assisted by Prof. Walter Orr, and others.

After supper some excelleut music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith and Miss Edna McCormick of Willow, and Miss Trees, with mandolin, guitar, violin and organ.

Mr. and Mrs. Pratt are very well known, and a large company of their friends were given a reception at their future home in Willow Branch, on the following Sabbath. The doctor has a large and lucrative practice in medicine and all join in wishing them a happy voyage through life.

Quite a number of presents were given.

«-A l'alr Of Kids."

At the opera house to-night. Ezra Kendall in the well known comedy, "A Pair of Kids," is sure to be as entertaining as ever. There is a quaintness about his old countryman "Jiles Button" that is irresistible and the dry humor he possesses seems to catch everybody. He will no doubt be able as heretofore to drive away any little melancholy that may chance to linger around any one when the curtain is rung up, for he is a circus when he gets started. The thousand and one situations in "A Pair of Kids" are about as ridiculously absurd as the mind of man can conceive and people laugh because they cannot help it. The piece is now in its tenth year and is said to be funnier than ever, having been rearranged here and there to suit the demands of a specially selected and strong company of comedians.

"Mary and John."

"No, we don't go to troupes much now. Times got so blunt we jtst had to shut down on shows and deny ourselves a great many such necessities, but John and me's goin' to take in this Easy or Zeri, or whatever his name is, Kendall, 'cause we got a posial card from John's uncle, up in Michigan, saying he was a reg'lar circus, and we dote on circuses. John nigh busts an artery every time the clown cuts his capers at the circus. Our postal card said the "Pair of Kids" was the name of his ti'oupe. If it's half as funny as the bills I'll be a widdtr, I know, fer Johit'll jest let go and laugh himself into an everlasting fit." This is the same Ezra Kendall (there is only one) who is to set the pace for laughter at the opera huiise tonight.

Considerably below the middle size, she is under 5 feet in height, tho smallest as well as the broadest reigning monarch in the world, her width being almost equal to her length.

QFFFN YICTOKIA AT THE SPINNING WHEEL, good but also a very great queen, whose name is destined to live in history as that of the most sagacious and illustrious monarch of tho nineteenth century.

Physical and Mental Breadth.

For some reason or other which philologists may possibly explain nearly all tho great and celebrated women, both of the present time and of bygone ages, have displayed a strong tendency to embonpoint. There appears to bo some analogy and proportion between breadth of beam and breadth of character, between avordupois tissue and weight of judgment, between solidity of physique and solidity of sense. Fat and grandeur appear to go hand in hand, as far as tho fair sex is concerned, and it is difficult to find a single instanco of a thin woman even achieving greatness or lame.

Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen who bewitched Marc Antony and by so doing changed the course of the history of tho world, remains on record as having been small and fat. So, too, the Roman empress Agrippina, tho shrewd but dissolute mother of Nero. Laura, tho muse of Petrarch, was fat and fair, with blond hair. The Mario Fiametta whom Boccaccio rendered famous was a fat brunette, while the proportions of Lucresia Borgia, Catarina Cornaro, of Marguerite of Navarre and Marie do' -Medici, wen all of tho most generous amplitude. Queen Elizabeth of England was tall, red haired and extremely stout, as was also her sister and predecessor on tho throne, Bloody Mary. Good Queen Anne, who presented sacramental plate to several churches in New England and the state of New York, was almost as great of girth as is Queen ictoria, and, if sho cannot be precisely described as a very great monarch, yet it must bo remembered that it was eluring her reign that England achieved somo of tho most famous victories that figure in the pages of history, while, if she herself did not take any active part in tho glorious achievements of her long reign, yet sho had tho good senso to know how to surround herself with great statesmen and commanders who endowed it with luster. Empress Catherine of Russia, who lias lately been occupying to such an extent the students of European history, and who was certainly ono of tho most interesting and conspicuous figures of the last century, is shown by her portraits recently published to havo been tall and extremely fat. Empress Maria Thcrese, tho most glorious figure in tho annals of tho reigning house of Austro-Hungary, was very stout in her youth and became downright obeso toward the latter enel of licr reign. Her ill fated daughter, Queen Mario Antoinette, whoso misfortune and death on the scaffold will render her in all ages an object of romantic and pathetic interest, took after the great empress in respoct of bulk, and, curiously enough, her successor on the tlironoof France, the Empress Josephino, manifested tho tendency characteristic of tho creolo to an excess of adiposo tissue after passing tho meritlian of her fairy tale life. Her contemporary, Mmo. de Stael, the bitterest and most viperliko of all tho great Napoleon's enemies, was small, dark and pudgy. Georgo Sand, tho famous novelist, had a beautiful head, but was fat and undersized. It was of her that Heinoremarked that '"her head alono bears tho cachet of the ideal, tho build of her body being too short and fat."

Queens Christina and Isabella* l,*» Of the women who have played conspicuous roles in tho present century there is not ono who has not been fat. All the queens and princesses who have the blood of tho Bourbons in thoir veins show a pro nounced tendency to embonpoint. Thus tho late Queen Christina of Spain was almost repulsive in her obesity after attaining middle ago, and if her handsome morganatic husband, Munoz, whom sho had, solely because of his good looks, elevated from tho rank of a private of the guards to that of general, grandee, cabinet minister and duke, remained loyal and devoted to her, It must have been from a feeling of gratitude rathor than from sentiments of admiration. One of tho daughters of this queen by the pleboian born Munoz, by the bye, married an Italian, Prince del Drago, whose son .Is at tho present moment in this country endeavoring to angle an American hoiress, his solo capital being a jeweled coronot which he has inherited from his queenly grandmother. Still more stout than Queen Christina of disreputable memory is her eldest daughter, the exQueen Isabella. Although she tips tho scales at 300 pounds, hor weight does not impair the still marvelous grace and majesty of her deportment or hor merourial (riskiness of behavior.

Still Further Evidence.

Queen Marguerite of Italy, after having gallantly fought tooth and nail during the past 16 years against embonpoint, trying every specific from Alpine climbing to drinking vinegar in large quantities, has finally given up the struggle and is putting on flesh at such a rate as to lead te tho conviction' that before very long she will resemble those Levantine women

whose obesity serves as a foil to the plastio beauties of their young daughters. Queen Emma of Holland, although barely 36 rears of age, has become so fat as to have lost nearly every trace of tho elegant and graceful figure that was her principal attraction at the time of her marriage to uld King William, and tho same may be said of that other royal widow, Empress Frederick of Germany. Queen Natalie, too, who was once so famous for her charms, has seen them succumb to tho encroachments of superfluous flesh, while here in America Susan Anthony and most of thoso other leaders among women who have achieved fame during the past half century have been quito tho reverse of thin.

That stoutness should go hand in hand with power, influent intellect and personal magnetism where the fair sex is concerned must be a matter for universal congratulation, for were the world to bo rilled by thin and lean women, instead of fatones, there is no doubi that ir, would present a less rosy, less happy and more ascetic aspect.

THE STANDARD OIL COMPANV.

Something About Its Cleveland Plant 5-UJJ-gested by the I-iitot Opposition. [Special Correspondence.

CI.KYFI.ANI, Feb. T). There is probably no city in tho country where the latent attempt, accounts of

which

were wmd

broadcast over the land a f-.nv days ago, to down the Standard Oil company will be watched with greater interest than here. Nor probably, I think I am justified in adding, is there a city anywhere whose businc.-s men will

look

upon this attempt

more doubtfully than here. Cleveland is full of men who havo been vm:hfc hitter lessons about the likelihood of victory going to the strong as tiio result, of their bucking the Standard.

It is not my purpose hero to defend any monopoly, least of all the, Standard Oil company. I could not help it by defending it any more than I could hurt it by attacking it. But the Standard Oil company has some good points. Its workmen rarely strike, and there are few differences of any sort between it and its employees. It is moro than possible, this :s due to Standard magnates realizing that the public, already heavily prejudiced against tho great corporation, would be so overwhelmingly with tho men in case of strike as to materially benefit them. It is quito probable, too, that tho Standard's managers have learned the lesson, so difficult for most employers to assimilate, that well paid labor is always moro productive than ill paid, and that it is sometimes possible to lose moro in one week's strike than might lie saved in a year's 5 per cent reduction of wages.

One of tho most interesting"exhibits at tho Columbian museum in Chicago is the model of the original Standard Oil works as erected by .John D. Rockefeller, Usury Flagler et al. They were comically small compared to tho vast works that now employ thousands of men everyday of tho year and represent an investment of millions of dollars. Thoso works were built in the midst of what wa.s a dense forest a few decades ago ami presented a vastly different appearance from that of tho present ones in every other way as well as in the mat tt of size. Then

could bo

reached only by driving a fowinilesout of tho city of Cleveland over wretched clay roads. Now the trolley car takes tho visitor to within a block or so of the wilderness of tanks and refineries, covering acres and acres of the canyon through which the sluggish Cuyahoga flows.

It is well worth any one's while to visit tho Standard's works and to stand at. somo coign of vantage from which a birdseyo view of the whole vast infornoliko place may bo had. Clouds of sooty smoke will bo observed issuing from numbers of chimnej's, some tall and slender and some short and stubby. Here and there can lu seen slowly creeping along tho network of tracks that enmesh tho enormous tanks and every where little black specks moving about liko ants. These are tho men, and nothing can more effectually teach tho les son of man's individual and physical insignificanco and at the same time the other lesson of tho power of the human mind over matter than a half hour observation of these moving specks among the tanks.

The Standard Oil company lias always been one of tho luckiest corporations in tho world, and it will gratify thoso who believo in tho efficiency of talismanic influence to know that a battered, rusty horseslioo has been placed over every door in the Standard's buildint hero.

THE COUGAR STOLE A BABY.

But the Baby's 31 other and the Hounds Got It Again. Special Correspondence.

LAS CRUCES, N. M., Fob. 4.—Mrs. Rcasoner's 6-months-old baby had an experience tho other day which, when it gets a little biggor, it can brag about over all the other chilelren in the county. Tho Reasoners live on a ranch in Fresnal canyon, over in the Organ mountains, and on this particular day Mrs. Reasoner and tho baby were there alono. Sho went to tho barn on some errand, and thinking sho would not be gone more than fivo minutes left the baby playing on the floor. The day being bright and warm, both tho window and tho door were open.

As she started back she saw that a large cougar hael come out of tho brush 200 yards from the house and was trotting straight toward the open door. She threw stones at the beast anel yelled at it, thinking sho could perhaps frighten it away. But it paid no attention to her and kept straight on its way, with very evident purpose in its manner.

Then she remembered that a loaded rifle stood In the room beside tho window, and sho ran (or that. Tho cougar had boundeel into tho house, and loud screams from the baby told what was happening thero As Mrs. Reasoner reached the window she faced tho boast, crouched, with the baby in Its mouth, to spring through. When it saw her, It turned anel ran to the door. The baby put e»ut both hands towarel hor and called and screamed the louder. Trembling, sho drew out tho rlflo and raised it to her shoulder. But just as the cougar emerged from tho door Mr. Rcasoner's three hounds, which had been amusing themselves off in the woods, came running up, and all three (ell upon tho beast. To defend himself the cougar dropped the baby, and the baby's mothor sprang into tho midst of the melee and grabbed It from tho mixture of claws, teoth, howls and yells. She quickly made sure that It had not been injured in tho least. Tho cougar had picked it up by tho clothing, and tho little thing had not received even a scratch.

The big cat put up a bravo fight against tho three hounds and finally disabled one with its teoth, knockcd over another with a blow of Its paw and then made off in safety for tho woods. Mrs. Reasoner thought sho didn't care to shoot aftor she got the baby baok.
