During that same week there was a fellow wedded a girl here in Salt Lake City, the ceremony being performed by a simple elder in one of the churches in the presence of only two witnesses; where all the flowers there consisted of a bouquet, or nosegay, of violets carried by the bride and a red carnation worn in the buttonhole of the groom, which was of equal importance with the one you mention with such juice and unction Both of them are poor, in this worlds goods, but, oh, how rich in love for each other. They have been keeping company for the past two years, and after thoroughly understanding one another, decided that each and both would be happier married, and like two sensible beings they were married. He is a sturdy young fellow of good habits, industrious and temperate, with a splendid disposition, while she is everything a young man could ask in a woman, in the light of the many frailties which beset humanity. They didnt go on an expensive wedding trip with a private state room in the Pullman; did not start for any resort there to spend a honeymoon, but, on the contrary, at once set up housekeeping.

What is the importance Lake to the convention city. . . Jt Jt The refusal of J. B. Murdoch to come be- r a candidate for the mayoralty nomination has caused the Kearns faction of the local Republicans to look elsewhere for a victim. They are now turning their eyes longingly to Banker Frank Knox. Mr. Knox is a very capable man and his name strikes favorably a large section of the party. The great drawback in regard to Mr. Knox in this connection is the fact that he is being put forward by the Kearns crowd. The people are through with the Kearns dictatorship, and it will be fatal to the aspirations of any candidate for any office if it becomes known that he is a machine man. o CHATTER. Money, Money, Money in the atmos pf a wedding? Does it lie in the quality of the music of the organist or the number of American Beauty roses provided for the event? Is it measured by the fee handed the clergyman by the best man, or by the number of yards in the brides trousseau? Is it judged by the number of courses in the dinner following it or the favors presented by the happy pair to the ushers, or are we to estimate it by butter dishes and the silver-plate- a eight-daclocks bestowed upon the felicitated couple by their admiring friends? While not disputing the right of the rich to nnrry happily and receive and give as much of this worlds goods as they may. the true import ance of marriage is in the mating of two whose combined lives will do the most for the wortd at large; for society in general. By society is not meant that throng of decollette dressed women and white chok-eremen who assemble and whisper and chatter vapid nothings to each other during an evening and go home declaring they had a really good time, but all of us, high and low. rich and poor. When the man loves the woman and the woman the man with a passion born of a sanctity of spirit and they wed because each believes in the other; when the question of money is iorgotten in the greater one of affection; when she takes him to walk by his side and encourage him in the struggle and he takes her that he may be encouraged to do and dare for her sake, that is the most important wedding. And when two people are united in such bonds, even though they fail in amassing this worlds treasures sufficient to enable them to. spend their days in luxury; aye, though they die poor as when they began, theirs is still the most important, .for by their fealty to each other, by their undying affection they Lave set an example that is worth more to others than all other success, without these qualities. Like Baucis and Philemon, theirs is the life worthy of emulation; theirs the happiness continued long after death has sealed the eyelids and stilled the beating hearts. y high-collare- AAD CHARMS With emblems of any secret order.

To begin with, a writ was served on the groom on N the morning of the wedding calling for the payment of a sum of money due, about $900. That delayed him forty-fiv- e minutes. His attorney staved off payment for an hour more until the bride-elecould sign the marriage settlement, to which she had to affix her dear little signature before the aforesaid attorney would permit the ceremony to proceed. Because, with the knowledge of the signing of the instrument the scion of nobility could negotiate some cash. Two of the brides brothers cast her off, because she was marrying the fellow, the eldest informing her that he was a no good, a spendthrift, and all that sort of thing, and that when she took him, the old home, Lyndhurst, near Pittsburg, would bo closed to her, as a home, forever. A third brother ignored the event entirely and went off to knock a golf ball across the links. Finally, however, the wedding took place. Then the groom shipped his trunks by a roundabout way to the steamer, succeeded in eluding a lot of court bailiffs at Jersey City, and finally got aboard the boat. Here a lot of reporters awaited him. The earl threw up both hands, thinking them creditors or creditors agents, and informed them their bills would be paid by presenting them to his attorney, who stood on the pier with a roll liquidating his accounts. He was much relieved when the newspaper men informed him of their real calling. Finally the steamer sailed out for England. of Miss Thaw ct .
