in the imposing robes of his oftlce,
was already standing.
An Auspicious Moment.
It was one of the most auspicious
moments in the history of the White
House.
In low, yet resonant tones, Bishop
Satterlco began. At the conclusion
ot' tlio responses from the bride and
groom, the venerable bishop inquired
in a tone that tilled the great room:
"Who giveth this woman to be
married to this man?"
The President of the United States
ascended the pint form and taking his
daughter's right hand, placed it in
that of tlie bridegroom. Thus he
gave the bride away to the man of her
choice, and by the ring, which an
instant later the groom placed on the
fourth linger of her left hand, she
be came Mrs. Nicholas I?ougworth.
A I the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony, the assembled guests were
received hv Mr. and Mrs. Ijougworth
on the platform and beneath the
ll<?ral bower where their hands and
hearts were joined forever they were
showered with congratulations. The
guests* then were received in the
J'.asl Kootn by the President and Mrs.
lfoosovclt. After the informal re
rep! ions, the bridal breakfast was
served, in buffet form, in the state
rnd private dining rooms.

^ront jardinieres between the columns
along the corridor were planted with
handsome rhododendrons in full

The blossoms were of purple and

Loaf Tobacco Freed of Tax.
A compromise bill removing: all in
ternal revenue tax from leaf tobacco
was agreed upon for a favorable re
port by the House .vaj's aud means
committee. At present internal rev
enue laws im]H>se a tax on le?f to
bacco in case the producer places it in
the hands of an agent for sale, but
permits the grower personally to sell
his own tobacco without lax. Under
the measure agreed upon, the sale of
leaf tobacco will be as unrestricted as
the sale of any other product. Tobac
co growers endeavored to have the bill
extend exemption fro mtax to twist
tobacco but the committee would not
include anything in tho measure but
the natural leaf.
Subsidy Bill in Senate.
- The Senate cast its linal ballot on
?the subsidy shipping bill, which was
passed by a vote of 3S to 27. All
the votes for the bill were by Repub
lican Seuators, and live Republican
Senators voted with the Democrats it
opposition. They were Messrs. Buck
et t, Dolliver, La Follettc, Sooner ano
Warner.
The vote on the bill was preeceded
by action upon a number of amend
ments, and by an entire day of de
bate. Many im|>ortant amendments
were accepted, but in only one cast
was a modification agreed to that wat
ia acordaucc with the wishes of the
managers of the bill. The exeeptior
was on an amendment otfeied by Mr
Spooncr elminating the provision?
giving half-pay to members of the Na
val Reserve who have served less thai)
six mouth*.
FEATURES OF THE MEASURE.
As passed, the bill establishes thir
teen new contract mail lines and in
creases the subvention to the occank
liijes mining from the Pacific coast
to Australasia. Of the thirteen new
lines, three leave Atlantic coast portSj
oio running to Brazil, one to Uru
guay and Argentina, and one to South
Africa; six from ]x>rts on the Gulf of
Mexioo, embralnng one to Brazil, one
to Cuba, one to Mexico and three to
Central America and the Isthmus of
1-unama; four from Pacific coast
pmts. embracing tiro to Japan, China
and the Philippines direct, one to Ja
pan, Chiua and the Philippines, via
Hawaii and one to Mexico, Central
America and the Isthmus of Panama.
The bill also grants a subvention at
the rate of .f,> per gross ton per yeai
to cargo vessels ongaged in the for
eign trade of the United States and
at the rale of $0.50 per ton to ves
sels cngnde in the Philippine trade.
The Philippine coastwise law being
postponed until 1909. Another fea
turo of the bill is that creating a Na
val Reserve force of 10,000 officers
end men, who are to reecive retainers
after tho British practice. Vessels
receiving subsidies aro required to
carry a certain proportion of Naval
Reserve men among their crews. The
aggregate compensation for mail lines
is about $.'{,000, 000 annually. No
steam vessel of less than 1,000 tons
ij to receive aid under the bill.
Busy Day in tho House.
The "morning hour" preva" led in
the House Thursday until after /)
o'clock. The result was the passage
of a hill to increase to $30,000 a year
the Federal appropriation to each
State and ferritory for the support
of agricultural experiment stations
and ot a bill repealing the present
law granting American register to
foreign ships wrecked and ropaired
on the American coast in tho dis
cretion of the fcecretary of the De
partment of Comercn and Lnbor, and
requiring a special not of Congress
to grant such register.
Tho featuro of tbo day was the at
t< nipt. of Mr. Payne, chairmau of the
v-ays rind means committee, to get up
his bill for the consolidation of cus
toms collection districts. A furious
opposition developed and on a roll
call a lurge majority voted against
considering the bill. Again, when the
experiment station bill came up, the
debate reverted to the Payne bill and
if was with dilliculty that* it could be
brought to an end. Mr. Payne, speak
ing on his bill, said it cost last year
?1,400 to collect no revenue at Beau
tort. N. C. : at Albemarle, N. C\, it
cost- $1 ,00t> to collect There were
fifty-one non-paying ports on the list
which Mr. Pavue read from. Tho
total collected in these ports was
$17,242 and the expense of maintain
ing the ports was $1 *>G,18o.
Mr. I homes, oi North Carolina, de
veloped an argument against tbe con
solidation of jKM'ts, Tne measure, he
declared, was not one of ecouomv. Jf
dl the ports referred to by the coip
ii'ittee were abol??hed, be niid, but
#109,000 a year would be saved aud
rrorc than thn would be lost by rea
son of smuggling, wh;cli, he maintain
ed, was carried on in the abandoned
ports. Besides, there were many oth
er duties discharged by custom ofTl
c?rs besides collecting revenue.
Mr. Blackburn, of North Carolina,
also spoke against the Payne bill.
An idirect compliment was paid to
? IxMigworth by a vote to adjourn
until Monday, although nothing will

Overman Gets Appropriation.
S* rat oi Overman did a splendid
piece of work on Thursday. He in
duced the Senate to pass its bill ap
propriating $75,000 for the erection
?>f a public building at Salisbury and
a few moments later secured the pas
sage of a bill appropriating $15,000
tor buildimr the long pro|K>sed mili
tary road from Salisbury to the Nat
ional Cemetery. The Senate has come
to view with disfavor bills appropri?
nting money for such purposes, and
it was only after a brush with Sen
