GOLDEN WEDDING.

of Kindred and Krlouda.
The celebration of our golden wedding
in over aud my good wife and I
are still marching to the end of the
journey. The fiftieth anniversary of
our wedded life brought no change
and did not for a moment stop the
tickiug of the marble clock upon the
mantle. The days and the weeks nud
the months are still coming this way.
We did not cross the Rubicon nor the
Jordan nor the Styx, but only set uj
another mile stone and marked it 50
Now we are on the last quarter stretch
untiring the goal, and if it was left t<

Iiirth and marriage and death are tin
most notable events iu this life, tin
most pregnant with fate, and destiny
of happiness or misery, and it become!
ns to pause occasionally and ponde;
them. If we can do this with serenity
and gratitude it is well, for there is in
comfort in melancholy.
And so wo wore made happy on on
wedding day, and are happy yet a
wo rocall the kind, loving greetings o
children and kindred and friends,
shade of sadness e.ime over us, <
course, as we thought of the missin

from friends known and unknown at
we have had them by tho liundn
(luring the past two weeks, and tel
grain-, too, from New York to IYx
?and from the islands of our new !
main. We were amazed?overwheli
ed and wondered what we had do:
cw .,< wmsper win
will this thing stop ? where will th
bird light. \V-> are proud of all tlii
but not vain and we are more irr.i
illed than proud, hut the querry
still with us, "What have we done hi
is not this all a dream?"
Ami thou there are the beautifi
gifts and souvenirs that kept on i
ing from friends near liom< an
friends abroad. They crowded ?-i
tables and adorned the walls. Tlu*>
golden presents gladdened our ! !?*
years and fitted the golden weddings
appropriately, ami the (lowers ili?
too beautiful (lowers from llrookly
ami Atlanta and ltoine ami Mobile an
Marietta ami a!l lailen with pretty s?t
tiinents ami some with the ever livisi
i.nes from Mrs. Homatis:

? ? ? "IBMy WI'W Rrru to t?lusti in her ~t:iitt
li.iir."
Yes, all is for the briile. She let
me look at the beautiful things am
even to hntolle them, but they are a!
Lera exeept the golden headed cam
and the French cloek that niy dear oh'
college mate, Jim Warren, sent me.
And she ha-, giveu me one of the gold
fountain pens and a pair of the end
buttons and the new tangled enrvinj.
fork that I thought was curling tongs
for my scattered hair. Id seems to me
that I am a little humbler than I was
before the wedding, for "-lie claims all
the pretty things, from the massive
gold 1 idle of Mrs. Akin and the beautiful
golden chalices of The Constituti
>11 and the lovely spoon service of
The Home ami Farm and the gold
mounted umbrella from Kansas City,
down to the golden bookmark and the
golden toothpicks 1 here are scores
of other beautiful things iu glass and
gold, and they are all hers.
I am no longer the cashier of this
hank, for the bride has put awav the
golden coin, though she says she only
wants to keep it awhile and will then
give it back b> me. f remember when
my father got a pension of 3700 for a
poor old man who owed him 300 an 1
had owed it for years. Father counted
out the g ?id and gave it to him, thinking
that of course he would pay the
debt, but lie wrannoJ ? ? * -
I i'1 y
and put it away down it iti his p?.< !<? *
aud at art od for his horse, who ?
hitched to the ruck near by. As he
was about to get up father said to hnu,
"Mr. Jenkins, I thought you told ine
you would pay me when you got your
pension?" "Yes, I did, Asa," Raid he,
"and ['in gwine to do it tomorrow
shore. I jest wanted to t 'ke it all
home and let the old woman look at it
and feel of it and count it, an I we
would sleep with it in the house one
night, Asa?just one night, Asa."
And sure enough he did luing it hack
next day and paid the del t and put
ti>" rest ii, my father's - ate.
I know that my bride will ?io that.
1 ,?. Fifty y- ais ago she promts .I mo
t.vci ytbiuif alio had or was go.up to;
imve ami ho 1 will wait. ?>tie lias always
given ine everything that came
to her except the children. She claims
all of them and ntill speaks of them as
"my children?my boys and my girls."
Evan Howell, my old friend, came to
our wedding and brought bis good
wife with him. Yon see, I was at his
father's wedding long before he was
lioru and I wanted him here, bnt when
lie was called upon to respond to Jndge
A kin's beautiful speecb, I thonght he
went a little out of his way to say that
every man was made better by his
wife and that he had reason to believe
thut his friend. Bill Arp, was indebted
to Mrs. Arp for his fame and name
and good repute?that she was the
power behind the throne-?the guid
ing star?the pilot at tne neim, me inspiration
and all that Bort of thing.
My wife w as standing meekly by my
side aud heard it all, and it seemed to
me she straightened up a little and
seemed taller as he spoke.
He continued ou that line until I
began to feel that I was nothing but
au old ship that my wife was steering
through the breakers. I saw that his
' remarks were very grateful to Mrs.
' Howell, for she stretched up a little,
too, and as 1 looked around upon the
' matrons they were all stretching up,
' i and my fear is that they will stay so.
i 1 don't think I will invite Evnu to our
* | next wedding.
> ! And now comes the aftermath?the
. j second reaping of this harvest of love.
* We must answer nil these kind letters,
r and we must thank the donors for all
>* these beautiful gifts. It will take
J time, hut it will be a labor of love.

f>h, the dear memories that thes

t| wnere we fished for minnows an
perch and hornyhends, the shoal croc

where we jumped from the sprint

1 Ami here before ine are some tendei
1 lines from <>I<1 Colonel Gibbons, whf
has passed his four score years. lit
' adds unother verse to "John Auder
son, My Jo." So does my dear old
partner, Judge Rrnnhum, and he say>
that Dr. Deems wrote it. And an old
' !ady from Washington. D. C., sends
' still another verse and says it wan
' written by a man in Ohio. Here are
three ditVerent additions to the poem
and all are beautiful. And iiere are
several loving verses from our cherished
f iend, Captain Calhoun, who
is no spring bird or bard, but is old
enough to write poetry. There is a
; man who always brings sunshine. His
life is a struggle ami a strain, but
"like the son of Alknomok, he never
complains."
Then there is the double hearted
gem from our unknown friend, "Duuno
Brown," with its graphic illustrations.
Nothing prettier or more appropriate
j was over written or designed. He is
both a poet and an artist, and the gem
is to be encased in a golden frame and
placed upon the golden pnpercd wall.
And dear, good Charley Huhner never
forgets or neglects to write the right
thing in the right way and at the
right time. And then there were the
golden wedding's golden bells that
were rung to sweet music by Colonel !
and Mr. Hoy Mason, of Richmond,Vn. |

ful prose poems by Uncle Rcinus, ,

of them all. sent to mv wife to bo
placed by me upon her wedding finger
as I renewed the promises I made her ,
fifty years ago
Ami here is another that our dear i
good friend, Joe Brown, sends. It is
exquisitely engraved "Golden Tears, '
Golden- Heaits," and his letter is another
gem?a prose poem that is worth
more than the ring to me, for I am not
a woman. And here is a Klondike
nugget sent from a friend who lives
in the far-off state of Washington and
is now mining in Alaska. And here,
hanging on the parlor wall, is a beautiful
picture of John Anderson, my
Jo, and his loving spouse. It is encased
in au exquisite golden frame
nud nothing can be more tenderly
p thetic than this sketch, where the
good old matron is smoothing the thin
and silvery liair of her life-long com
ptinion as she sings, "Now we must
totter down, John, but band in hand
we'll go." This came from Mrs.Ward
of Birmingham, a dear old family
friend, who was a school girl in pantalettes
when we moved to llome in '51.
She, too, had to flee from the fotil invader
in *64, the same night my wife
and children did, and when they two
get together I tell you they make the
yankee fur fly and the yaukeeF'enro to
burn, if ears do burn when thpso who
wear theui are talked about. Ini
Did you ever try to drive ahVjrJ hen
with a brood of right young Sickens
out of the garden. Well, that's the
way these two mothers fled and dodged
and raised their feathers, and pranced
around all over the country, trying in
vain to find some place where the foul
1 invader could not come. But (et that

memories he smothered, and all re|

said: "Our nation is tempted to de
part from its 'standard of morality

. 1 "If T mistake not the sentiment ol

existence it has exerted upon the

evidence of the working of the leaven

Seldom has official Washington been
more completely stirred by conflicting
emotions than it was Tuesday by the
announcement of the death of John

of the report which came a feu
hours later, the one giving a relief
which was as marked as was tlio sor
row produced by the other.
The first report, which camo fron
New York, was received at 3 o'eloel

did not arrive until S:30 o'clock.

WOMAN ELECTROCUTED.
Mr*. Martha riacn Pay* Penalty For tha
Murder of Her Stepdaughter.
Mrs. Martha Place, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., wan electrocuted at Sing Sing
prison Monduy for the murder of her
stepdaughter, Ida Place.
She made no scene. The first shock
lasted four seconds. The voltage was
i 1,760. It was then reduced to 200
five or six seconds. A second shock
was then given.
MrH. Place went calmly to the chair.
Sbo leaned on Warden Sage's arm.
Uer eyes wore closed and Bhe seemed
neither to see nor hear. She murmured
a prayer.
Mrs. Place was calm beyond expectation.
No one has walked into the
death chamber as serenely as she.
Death came with lesB struggle than
was ever witnessed before. Death was
instantaneous.
Just as she sat down in the chair
she said: "God help me."
The electrode was fastened in a moment;
another was placed over her
thick light hair, turning gray, a small
circle of which had been cut away.
The straps were adjusted over her face
and a pad over tho forehead. Only

In her hand Mrs. Place carried a
prayer book, and when the shock came
sho gripped it tightly. The other held
fust to the chair handle. The womau's
month merely closed; tho face was a
trille livid. Her pulse ceased to beat
> within a minute.
i The crime for which Mrs. Place suffered
tho death penalty was an atrocir
oxis one. She killed her stepdntighf
ter, Ida Place, at thtir home, 59H
- Hancock street, Brooklyn, on February
7, 1897. The girl was but twentyl
1 two years old. A double murder had

A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says:
Wednesday's wind and rain storm was
the severest ever known in this section
outside of death-dealing cyclones.
The record of losses in the little sub|
urb of Avondale, on the west of the

and probably a great deal more. Homo
of the oscapuH were simply marvelous.
