Catholic priests of the W'ilkesbarrc
diocese will in>i-l ilint members of
their faith must be married in the
morning and that the partiality t 112
afternoon marriages must cease.
Chey have taken this stand liecau-e
viewing marriage as a sacrament,
they believe in making the ceremo
ny Mich as will most impress with
its spiritual importance and they
believe fiat marriages with Nuptial
Mass will accomplish this. The
priests have been inclined for sotm
time to oppose afternoon marriages.

MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.
\Vh» Mailt. Ihp First Argument Kor
Itnrnl Fcoe lll'll Delivery.
MnptimiM* Whitehead comes from one
of iln' oldest families in New Jersey.
Before lie was of a'-to lie was a noHlier
in General Sedjjwiek's famous Sixth
nrmy eurps of the Army of (he Coto
mae. lie was a charter member of
the first in New Jersey, organ
ized in (). 11. Ivelley in IX7I. Mr.
Kelley calls him one of the "builders
of the Order." In 1874 he was master
MORTIMER WHITEHEAD,
of the New Jersey state grange. Ho
was fur two years assistant steward
of the national grange, then lecturer
two years, then six more years lecturer
of the New Jersey state grange, then
for eight years more lecturer of the na
tional grange, lie prepared the serv
ice for dedication of grange halls and
designed the certificates of both the
sixth and seven:h degrees. The ar
rangement of the "double degrees'' in
the ritual was his work. While na
tional lecturer in 1 SI»1 lie presented a
carefully prepared peper to the na
tional grange on rural free delivery,
whii h was adopted, lie made the tirst
argument by a farmer and a Patron
before a committee of congress in the
winter of 1S!i1-',i2 for a sW.nuo appro
priation in the name of the grange for
rural delivery. He represented the
grange for several years on legislative
committees before congress, lie has
traveled in every state on grange work
and is still at it and says lie never be
lieved in the grange more than at the
preseut time. No member of the Order
lias traveled more miles, delivered
more addresses or written more papers
for tiie grange than has Mortimer
Whitehead.
PROFITABLE CO-OPERATION.

The fact that the lei'tli: •>" ci infer
