The Republican National Convention at Chicago Names its Presidential Ticket Mid Scenes of In= difference and Apathy Unheard of in National Politics. CHICAGO, June 23.— Without a distarb- ing incident to impede smooth operation the program for the Republican national convention was carried out like clock work. It was an assembly of non combative dele- gates which carried into effect a purpose that had been clearly defined. An organization was perfected prepara- tory to the adoption of a platform and the making of j nominations in the succeeding days of the convention. From the quiet, yet unmistakable enthusiasm provoked by Senator Fairbanks’ arrival at the coliseum his nomination for Vice President was but little less assured than the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for President. The keynote to the campaign of 1904 was sounded by the Hon. Elihu Root in his speech as temporary chairman. His address was a review of the accompligh- ments of the present administration and a defense of Republican policies in general. The lack of public interest in the con- vention was evidenced by the large num- ber of spectators’ seats vacant. Seats at former Republican conventions usually brought a premium. Speculators offered them but there were few takers and as the hour approached for the convention to as- semble they sold them for a song. The Fairbanks boom for the Vice Presi- dency flourished unrestricted during the convention proceedings. Its impetus was gained when the Indiana delegation enter- ed the coliseum and, led by the two Sena- tors, Mr, Fairbanks and Mr. Beveridge, proceeded down the aisle to their seats near the stage. The ovation given Senator Fairbanks was greater than was received by any of his distinguished colleagues. THE WISCONSIN SQUABBLE. The report of the committee on creden- tials interested the convention only so far as it dealt with the Wisconsin situation. Senator McComas, of Maryland, chairman of the committee, read a report of the in- vestigation of the committee. He took the delegates into the confidence df the com- mittee, and explained in detail that a thor- ough canvass was made into the merits of the contest, despite the fact thas the con- testants had withdrawn their claims on the Jronnd that fair treatment could not be ad. _ One of the remarkable features coucern- ing the adoption of the platform was the fact that it has been the subject of admin- istrative scrutiny and national interest for many weeks and was accepted without a dissenting vote. The platform was prepared at the White House and whipped into literary shape by Mr. Roosevelt's emissary, Senator Lodge. The committee on resolutions had noth- log to say about it. They were only so many figureheads. No matter what ability a member of this committee possessed, his mouth was closed. The chief magistrate has become a party boss and the delegates took orders for fear of the consequence of refusal. Retrenchment Affects Clerks. More Than 2,000 Will Suffer by Orders That Are to Go Out. ——n PHILADELPHIA, June 20.—Ag a con- ference to-day between President A. J. Cassatt and Assistant Comptroller Max Riebanack, of the Pennsylvania railroad, on the subject of reducing the clerical force in the general offices of the company, in this city, it was decided that economies are to be accomplished by putting several hun- dred clerks oa furlough, and by requiring those retained in the service fo take va. cations without pay. More than 2,500 persons are employed in the general offices here and it is believed that more than 2,000 will be affected by the orders that are to go out, . Those who will go on furlough will re- ceive no assurance of being taken back. These clerks are in the auditing and similar departments, Other clerks, with the possible exception those employed in the executive offices, will, it is understood, be required to take at least two weeks vacation without pay. In effect that is equivalent to a four per " red potion in salaries. etrenchments decided upon for general offices will be followed by iid Bone ab Altoona, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Jersey ‘City and all other division points, 4 ool be further reduction in the namber’of. employees in the operating and maintenance'ol way departments, 6 Requisitions ‘from station agents and ofhers for supplies are being closely soru- nized and, in the majority of oases, re- fused as notuecessary. In every depart- ent orders have been given to cut down expenses, ASE. Catholic University, CHICAGO, June 19.—Promise of a great Catholic university in Chicago was held out by Archbishop Quigley in his address at the laying of the corner-stone of the new St. Vincent college to-day. The college, be said, should be the beginning of the university which should teach the highest branches. _‘‘This building,” said the archbishop in his address to the throng in the college yard, ‘‘is to be an institute for higher edn- cation. I hope that the time will come when the Catholics of Chicago will add to this college a higher institution. It must be a university which will cover the high- est branches of learning. It is the object of the church to cover the entire field of education.” ‘night that a battle at Hai-Chen Port Arthur has Begun to Totter. Rumored that Japs Have One of the Outer Forts. Said to Have Cost One Thousand Lives, CHEFO00, June 19.—{ Midnight, )—There is current here a Chinese rumor that the Japanese have captured one of the outer forts of Port Arthur, losing 1,000 men in the engagment. It cannot, however, be confirmed. RUSSIA REALIZES THE INEVITABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, June 19.—In Russian naval and military circles the fall of Port Arthur is now considered only a matter of a few weeks. It is generally recognized that the actual assault on the fortress will ic the main be an artillery attack, and a terrific one. The war has already cost Russia over $150,000,000, and the daily cost is rising rapidly. Port Arthur and what it contains in ships, guns, munitions, stores, fortifications and the rest are worth at least another $150,000,000. KUROPATKIN IN CHARGE. L1A0-YaNG, June 19.—For the first time since the beginning of the war Gen- eral Kuropatkin has taken personal di- rection of the operations aud in conse- quence of his having assamed the offensive results very different from those following recent events are anticipated. RAID OF THE RUSSIANS. TokY0, June 15, 5 p. m.—The remark- able raid of the Russians Vladivostok equpdron evidently is over. The squad- ron disappeared yesterday off Cape Ha- nashi, steering to the north, and it bas not been reported since. It is assumed to be returning to Vladivostok. Whether or not a portion of Vice Ad- miral Kamimura’s squadron is awaiting the Russians off Vladivostok is a care- fully guarded secret’ Assuming that Vice Admiral Kamimura dispatched some of his vessels to Vladivostok when he learned that the Russian squadron was off Iki islands, these ships would have had ample time to arrive there ahead of the Russians and will be ready to give battle. The weather became foggy and thus conditions have been against the Japanese. It is reported that the raiding Russians captured a British steamer laden with coal bound south from the island of Yezo and sent her to Vladivostok witha prize crew, but the report is not confirmed by the Japanese navy department. SOME LUCK DESPITE CAPTURE. The transports Sado, Hitachi and Iza- mi were the only ones overhauled by the Russians. Japan had 13 transports in and near the strait of Korea the morning the Sado and the Hitachi were caught, and she was fortunate that only the three ships mentioned were overtaken by the enemy. It is impossible to get complete facts concerning the sinking of the Hitachi. She evidently failed to stop when sig- nalled to do so by the Russian vessel. The claim is made that Captain Camp- bell, the English master of the Hitachi, refused to stop and planned to ram the Russian, but this is denied. It is said that the Japanese officers on board the Hitachi declined to surrender and required Captain Campbell to keep his ship going. The assertion that the Russiauvs fired upon the lifeboats in which men were escaping from the Japanese transport has been fully substantiated. CRITICISM FOR JAP. ADMIRAL. The raid of the Vladivostok squadron has brought an unwarranted amount of criticism npon Vice Admiral Kamimura from the Japanese, and his failure to catch the Russians in the fog off Gensan off the coast of Korea when the Japanese transport Kinshiu was sunk on April 26, with a loss of about 200 men. has been recalled. Some of these even declare that, if Vice Admiral Kamimura fails to catch the Russian vessels before they reach Vladi- vostok, he should either resign from the navy or commit suicide. The popular demand for his replace- ment is growing, hut the public is with- out information as to the nature of his orders or the plans of the naval campaign and fails to make allowance for the limit- ation of conditions. LACK OF GOOD LUCK. Vice Admiral Kamimura’s squadron was lying off Tsu island when the raiding Russians reached Okino island. He im- mediately started in pursuit of the enemy but rains obscured the sea and [an electric- al storm interfered with his system of wireless telegraphy. Vice Admiral Kami- mura is a splendid officer and the only possible indictment against him is one of lack of good luck. The Japanese gener- ally magnify the importance of this Rus- siad raid, which has no material effect upon the war. It was a desperate ven- ture, and it is believed here to have suc- ceeded only through blind luck. The Yawata and the Ansei, two sailing ships, were sunk by the Russians Thurs- day between Ko island and Okushiri is- land off the west coast of Yezo and north of the Tsugarn strait. Thirty seven sur- vivors reached Esashi Thursday afternoon. This makes a total of five Japanese ships sunk or destroyed by the Russian raiders. Russians Believe Two Armies will Unite. ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.—The gen- eral staff believes it probable that Kuroki and Oku are meditating a combined at- tack on Kuropatkin before he is further reinforced. In order to do this they must act before the rainy season, which is im- minent. The war office points out that since it was Oku and not Nodus who fought Baron Stakelberg at Vafangow, and that since Oku recently has been directing the siege operations against Port Arthur, the siege seems to have taken second place in the plans of the Japanese. There is a rumor in St. Petersburg to- is actu- ally proceeding and that there have been heavy losses on both sides. There fis, however, no confirmation of this rumor. It bas developed that the : Japanese at Vafangow had an accurate topographical map of the whole battlefield and that their batteries were connected by telephone. The Japs’ Plans, WASHINGTON, June 20.—An explana- tion of the Japanese campaign on the Liao Tung peninsula especially with reference to Port Arthur is contained in advice that has reached this city from a source believ- ed to be absolutely reliable. The Japan- ese tactics which have so puzzled the Russians are intended to isolate Port Artaur but do not contemplate an attack on the place by General Oku’s army. The actual work of reducing Port Arthur will be confined to another Japanese army under command of General Nogi, which will be landed on the peninsula (and in- deed may be landed) at a point south of General Oku’s position and consider- ably nearer Port Arthur. On the first of June no less than twenty- six transports bad been gathered at one of the Japanese ports to embark this army and it is probable that the vessels attacked by the Vladivostok squadron were of this ‘number.

Firing Heard Less Frequently. : Liao YANG, June 21.—(Delayed in transmission )—The Japanese army base at Siu-Yen is evidently strongly established along a line from Kai Chau to Yentai. Rumors of a battle northeast of Kai Chau are evidently correct. The Japanese this week advanced toa point sixteen miles east of Kai Chau but retired. It is presumed that General Oku is now advancing to the north by the way of Fu Chau and the coast road, thus enabling him to obtain provisions from the sea. CHEF00, June 22.—6 p. m.—While the Japanese are keeping a close watch on Port Arthur both on land and sea, their ad- vance towards the fortress is not being pushed so vigorously as during the early days of June. Chinese arriving from points in the Liao Tung peninsula say that firing is not heard as frequently. They report, however, that skirmishes, the result of which they do not know, oc- curred on the 14th, 18th and 20th of June. ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.—The im- minence of a battle in the northern part of the Liao Tung peninsula is admitted by the war office and is indicated succinctly in to-day’s despatches from the Associated Press correspondents at Lia Yang and Kai ping and other points on the railroad. The work of skirmishing around Siu Yen retarded General Kuroki’s operations, thus permitting General Stakelberg to reach Kaiping, the rear goard slowly falling back on Senuchen before the Japanese advance. It is believed here that General Kuropat- kin’s object is to prevent a juncture of the Japanese armies. On the other hand, the aim of the Japanese apparently is to drive the Russians out of the Liao Tung penin- sula preparatory toa maich on Liao Yang. The approach of the rainy season will more than likely precipitate matters. (Concluded from page 2.) The List of Dead Has Reached 845. ner. NEW YORK, June 21.—Evidence of a startling nature, which donbtless will have an important bearing on the ultimate ré- sult of the coroner’s inquiry into the Slo- cum disaster, was forthcoming at the in- quest today. Perhaps the most unexpected incident was the continued refusal to answer ques- tions of Henry Lundberg, a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of the ill-fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to incriminate him and he acted on the advice of his counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to the house of detention, but later accepted $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow, which was satisfactory to the assistant dis- trict attorney. MISERABLE FIRE PRECAUTIONS. Second pilot Weaver, of the Slocum, testified that he had purchased the fire hose for that boat, and Mr. Garvin introduced evidence to show thas the price paid was forty cents a foot, net, sixty per cent. or 16 cents per foot, net. “Don’t you know that you can’t buy good fire hose for less than a dollar or a dollar and a-half a foot ?*’ ‘‘I don’t know anything about the price of hose’’ responded Weaver. Weaver also declared that there has been no fire drill on the Slocum this year. Daniel O’Neil, who according to his sworn statement had never worked on a boat until he was hired on the Slocum a short time ago, ad mitted that he had jump- ed into a row boat filled with people from the Slocum, capsizing it. Asked if he saved anyone, he said there were others there doing that and that be was not an expert swimmer, He swan ashore himself, however. NEVER SAW A DRILL. O'Neil declared he never saw a fire drill on the boat. Referring to the efforts made to throw water on the fire when it was first discovered. O’Neil told of the bursting of the hose. He ran and got the rubber washing hose, but the coupling would not fit the standpipe. This was some of the sensational testimony brought out. By the use of dynamite and heavy guns fired by men from the second battery, scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom and the shores of North Brother Island to-day. FOUND 845 BODIES. From sunrise to sunsets the searchers along the beach and in the boats gatherad in 112, bringing the number of bodies re- covered to date up to the appalling total of 845. . Of these 700 have heen identified and the missing still are approximated at some- thing more than 300. Many of the bodies: last found will never be identified because of the changes that have taken place daring the week they have been under the water. The Dead May Number. 1,000. NEW YORK, June 22.—Although a week has elapsed since the General Slocum went to destruction on North Brother Island, the bodies of ite victims continue to be found in the waters adjacent to the scene of the disaster. To-day thirty-seven came to the surface, making the total num- ber recovered 883. Of these 778 have been identified. Despite the fact that the police are bending every energy towards getting a complete list of those who wens on the ill-fated excursion, definite figures as to the number missing canno$ be given. From present indications, however, it is apparent that the death roll will total pearly a thousand. — —— — Cows at the Worlds Fair, The herd of Jersey cows assembled at the World's Fair at St. Louis to rep- resent the Jersey breed in the universal dairy test has been inspected and has been pronounced in perfect condition and ready to start upon their six months’ grind on a day’s notice. W. R. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey farm, Dallas, Tex., was the inspector, and he was thorough in his work. He passed a week on the Exposition grounds, and much of the time was spent in and around the Jersey cattle barn, and the condition of each indi- vidual of the herd of forty cows was definitely ascertained. Never was more intelligent and care- ful treatment lavished on animals. No athlete was ever better trained for a contest requiring the development of speed, skill and endurance than has been this herd of Jerseys. When it is known that this herd is to compete with selected herds of Holsteins, Short- horns, Brown Swiss and Devons, and the herd making the best score for the production of butter, milk and cheese is to establish the standing of the various breeds, the importance of the cows being in perfect condition may be understood. For a solid year the Jerseys have been in constant training. Twenty- five cows will participate in the con- test. Cows were selected from the best herds in the United States. Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of the American Jersey Cattle Club, un- | der whose auspices this entry is made, toured Europe and visited the famed Isle of Jersey, where the breed origi- nated. He was seeking the best cows, but returned satisfied that Europe could show no cows that were better than those bred in America. Though only twenty-five cows will participate in the test, forty cows were selected. They were assembled at Jerseyville, Ill, a year ago. This is near St. Louis, and the cattle have be- come acclimated. Last December they were removed to St. Louis. The cows are the property of individual members of the club and are loaned for the term of the test. C. T. Graves, a breeder at Maitland, Mo., was selected as the superintendent to have charge of the cattle, and he has been highly com- plimented by Dr. Richardson and In- spector Spann for the wonderfully fine condition in which he has placed the herd. A series of model dairy barns have been built for the breeds competing in ; the test. The barns are octagonal in form, and are so arranged that the cows are in the center and a wide promenade permits visitors to pass around and view the cows as they stand in their stalls. The milking and feeding are to be done in plain view of the public, and representatives of the various herds will at all times have access to all the barns to see that no sharp practices are indulged in. The test not only consists in show- ing the amount of butter, milk and cheese produced, but the cost of pro- duction is taken into consideration. Every ounce of food given each cow is weighed and carefully recorded. When the cows are milked, the milk is con- veyed to a model creamery in the Ag- ricultural building, where it is tested and made into butter and cheese and where all records are carefully kept. The Jersey cattle participated in a similar test at Chicago during the Co- lumbian Exposition and carried off first honors. von Superintendent Graves is sanguine | over the result of the present test. He says that the Jerseys have always demonstrated their superiority over all other breeds when placed in competi- tion, and this time they will show to better advantage than ever. Not only is the Jersey milk richer in butter fat than the milk of any other breed, says Mr. Graves, but it can be produced at a less cost. The Jersey cows are the smallest of the standard breeds, and he asserts that they consume less feed. They assimilate their food, and it is converted into milk and butter and is not used ip building up and sustaining a large carcass. : “We are going to make all other breeds take to the woods after this test,” said Mr. Graves. “A few days ago I was testing some of our Jersey milk, and my hands were all sticky and greasy from the enormous amount of butter fat the milk contained. Mr. Von Heyne, who is in charge of the Holsteins, sent over a quantity of his milk for me to test. Of course, from a commercial standpoint, there was no comparison between the milk, but it was a pleasure to test his milk, for when I got through there was no grease on my hands. After this I will have a bucket of Holstein milk around handy to wash my hands in after testing our own rich Jersey milk.” The test begins May 16 and contin- ues 120 days. ERE New Music for World's Fair. Musical people and all who appreci- ate good music may thank the World’s Fair for three notable compositions, written upon the invitation of the Ex- position management. These are the “Hymn of the West,” by the most distinguished living American poet, Edmund Clarence Stedman, the music for which was written by Professor John K. Paine, who is at the head of the music department of Harvard uni- versity; “Louisiana,” a march by Frank Vanderstuken, leader of the . Cincinnati Orchestra; a waltz, “Along the Plaza,” by Henry K. Hadley of New York, who has won his laurels long before this as writer of operatic and other musical compositions. This music will be heard publicly for the first time upon the opening of the Ex- position on Saturday, April 30, and fre- quently thereafter in the musical pro- grammes of the greatest of world’s fairs. These are the only official com- positions. Thirty thousand dollars will be given in prizes for the best bands at a tour- nament to be held during the Exposi- tion. All through the World’s Fair the musical feature will be prominent. The most famous bands of the world are under contract to participate dur- ing considerable periods. Among these are Le Garde Republicaine band of France, the Royal Grenadier band of England, the American National band, Sousa’s band and others. | | | | : Unique California Map. A unique exhibit at the World’s Fair was prepared by the agricultural de- partment of the University of Califor- nia. Itis a large map, so colored as to show the character of the various soils of the state. It gives a clear idea of the situation and the extent of the arable and untillable sections. In the locali- ties that cannot be cultivated are shown the Sierras, the lava beds and the desert. The map indicates the lo- cation of the cultivable portions of the mountains and Mohave plateau and shows the nature of the foothills and valleys of that wonderful state. Will Radium Cure Cancer. From the Pittsburg Post. It is announced from Vienna that a case of cancer has heen cured by radium. This ay be true, without it following that the use of the new metal will prove generally effective in cancer cases. Should it, how- ever, be found beneficial in particular manifestations of this disease it will prove a hoon to many unfortunates. Just what the real medical range of radium is will probably not he determined for some time te come. The earlier hopeful predictions concerning it have been succeeded hy quite pessimistic ones. The truth may lie be- tween the two, and it would not be strange if radium should finally prove of substantial value in medicine and surgery. Clearfield Democratic Nominations. The Democrats, of Clearfield county, Tuesday in convention assembled, en- dorsed George M. Dimeling for Congress and nominated George M. Bilger and W. S. Betts, of Clearfield, for Assembly; Louis E. Boyer, of DuBois, for prothonotary; Frank K. Smith, of Clearfield, for register and recorder, and Harry Byers for county surveyor. : Some Gems From the Hustler, After reading the following gems of mind and thought which were taken from the latest issue of the Howard Hustler] you will likely join us in wonderment that the paper does not have three million instead of only three thousand readers. . # # #® #» C® The above is taken from the Bellefonte Daily News, which we suppose suited the Bellefonte ring, but does not suit the ma- jority of Republican voters throughout Centre county, hecaus=e it seems that Belle- fonte can concoct almost any scheme and push it through whether it suits the rest or not. Talk about harmony in the party! Yes, they have it but only on their side. The Hustler has been and always is for fair play and that is what it has decided to have. You may think it does not have many readers throughout the county, but we. are here to say that three thousand don’t cover them, and also that it will take an active hand in this campaign as an In- dependent Republican organ.

Taylor and Miss Katharine M. Lieb were married at the home of the bride’s parents, on Willowbank street,on Wednesday even- ing at 6 o'clock, by the Rev. John Wood, of the Methodist church. Only the members of the families and a few of their most intimate friends were present to witness the ceremony, which was very unostentatious. After an inform- al little reception and a dainty wedding supper Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were driven to Milesburg to catch an evening train, thinking they would escape the usual tor- ments popular young couples are subjected to by their friends. It failed, however, for as they walked in at one side of the car a dozen or more of their friends boarded it at the other and were very careful to ad- vise everyone on board that a bride and groom had juss entered. Mr. Taylor is a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Taylor, of this place, and is so well known that no words of ours are necessary as testimony to his high character. He is in business in New York and has a home already furnished for his bride at Washing- ton Heights on the Hudson. His bride isa beautiful girl,the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Mitchell Leib and one whose attain- ments are excellent as they are many. On their wedding trip they expect to visit Atlantic City, Washington and St. Louis. MoORE—MILLER—The wedding of Miss Maud Moore to Mr. James Gelwix Miller, of York, which was celebrated in the Pres- byterian church at Lemont, Wednesday evening, at 6 o’clock, was the most notable nuptial evens that has taken place there in many years. The church was beautifully decorated for the ceremony and crowded with guests. Mrs. Wm. Thompson played the wedding march while the bridal party proceeded down the aisle to the chancel where the Rev. Walter Harnish was waiting to officiate. The bride was given away by her brother Robert Moore, of Philipsburg. She was attended by Miss Bess Thompson, of Le- mont, as maid of honor, with four other maids and her little niece Margaret Moore, of Philipsburg, bearing the ring on a silver salver. The groom was attended by his best man, Mr. McLaughlin, of Pittsburg. There were four ushers. * Immediately after the ceremony a large reception was held at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Ellen Moore, and later the bride and groom were driven to this place, where they took a night train for their honeymoon. Mrs. Miller is quite an accomplished woman. She is a graduate of the Pennsyl- vania State College and in recent years has become quite prominent among the work- ers in educational lines in the State. Her husband is an instructor at the Mountain Seminary, Birmingham, where they expect to make their home. : rp rn WEDDING AT PORT MATILDA.—At noon Tuesday, June 21st, a pretty and stylish wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Reese, at Port Matilda, when their daughter Ola was married to Mr. John McNamara, of Rossiter, Pa. A hun- dred invited guests assembled in the parlor, which was artistically decorated with palms, ferns, and the finest of flowers. To the sound of the wedding ma:sh skillfully played by Miss Edith Williams, of Port Matilda, the brides maids, Miss Kathryn Reese, a sister of the bride, Miss Rose Hoover, of Fillmore, #isses Martha Hoover and Martha Eastman, of Dubois, Pa., all cousins of the bride, entered the parlor. They were gowned in pink mouseline made entraine and each carried a bouquet of white roses. Next came the matron of hovor, Mrs. J. M. Williams, sis- ter of the bride. She wore a handsome gown of blue silk gauze over white, and carried a bouquet of orange blossoms. Follow- ing came the bride, carrying a shower bouquet of bride’s roses, leaning on the arm of her father. She wore a beautiful gown of white Paris muslin and embroid- ered chiffon and a veil fastened with orange blossoms. They were met at the altar by the groom,attended by his grooms- man, Mr. Clay Straw, of Gazzam, Pa. Rev. 8. 8. Bergen, of the Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony After congratulations the bridal couple and guests sat down to a sumptuous feast which bad been prepared and to which all did justice. Mr. and Mrs. McNamara left on the 1:40 train on a tour of eastern oities including Baltimore and Washington, amid a perfect shower of rice, shoes, baby- carriages and go-carts. They will reside in their own home at Rossiter, Pa. where the groom has a Iuncrative position as bookkeeper for the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Co. : The guests from out of town were: Misses Anna McDivitt and Bertha Chapped, of Rossiter; Mrs. Martha Eastman, Philli Esterline Bergen and Louis Esterline, of DuBois; Mr. Harry Bergen Hoover, of Lock Haven; Mr. and Mrs. Grant Hoover, of Bellefonte; Miss Pauline Smith, of Union- ville; and Mrs. Geo. W. Twitmyer, of Wil- mington. It was a pretty wedding and we hope that the mirth and glee that attended it may become a legacy which will remain with the bride and groom through life. The presents were many, handsome, and most of them valuable. —————— A uremia A DoUBLE WEDDING. —At the United Evangelical parsonage in Milesburg, on Sunday afternoon, a double wedding was celebrated in the marriage of Mr. Elmer Aikey and Mise Gertrude Felmlee and Mr. Charles Tierny and Miss Effie Bickle. The Rev. Ward K. Shultz performed the ceremony.
