Dr Mc Ewen pastor of the Third
Presbyterian church of which Miss
Tha v is a member performed the first
part if the service and Dr Mel !veins
rellot of Calvary church finished and
pronounced the benediction
Prece ling the ceremony an elabor-
ate organ recital was given while the
100 invited guests were being seated
' When the scheduled time for the ceremonial-4
O'clock—arrived the wed-
ding march was begun but the bridal
party did not nppear For some rea-
son the party was delayed and did not
arrive at the church until 4:45 In
the meantime the wedding march had
- been repeated several times and the
''- audience plainly showed its anxiety
Maw rumors were put in circulation
but liothing tangible could be learned
to accOunk for the delay
When the waiting became irksome
the doors were thrown open to the
public and the edifice was quickly fill-
ed almost to suffocation Finally the
bridal party arrived and at 4:45 the
ceremony wax began Marry Kendall
Thaw the bride's brother who was to
have given her away failed to put in
an appearance and another brother
WILL DO AWAY WITH FARCE
Josiah performed that portion of the
ceremony while Dallas Byers took
the place of Josiah Thaw as one of
the ushers Aside from these unlook-
ed for changes the wedding program
was carried out to the letter No ex-
planation has been made for the delay
to the services and in consequence
the tongue of IMMO Rumor has been
very busy The absence of Harry
Kendall Thaw from the ceremony is
considered significant It was under-
stood he had been active in arranging
the marriage
After the church ceremony there
was a reception at Lyndhurst the
Thaw residence for 150 people The
house was splendidly decorated and
the collection of gifts was magnificent
The couple left immediately for a
brief honeymoon trip before sailing for

England Earl Yarmouth's father
the marquis of Hertford and his fam-
ily who came from Engtand for the
wedding are to return to London at
once
Noticeable among those absent from
the wedding were Benjamin Thaw his
wife and family Benjamin Thaw the
oldest son and bead of the family
both socially and financially since his
father's death evidently could not
countenance the wedding by his pres-
ence It has been understood from the
beginning that Mr Thaw has opposed
the alliance on the ground that the
earl was not a fit suitor for his sister's
hand
Mr Thaw when interviewed about
the marriage has made only one re-
ply "I have nothing to say" His
friends all comment that his silence
speaks most forcefully A man of his
standing and caliber must have yea
sons for taking this unusual position
after having given the matter most
careful consideration
The following communication by
Mrs William Thaw mother of the
countess of Yarmouth explains Itself:

Maine Judge Takes Determined Stand
About Old Abuse
Chief Justice Wiswell of the Maine
supreme court says there must be an
end to the hypocrisy which collects
fines from liquor dealers but allows
them to continue in business In defi-
ance of the prohibition low Hereto-
fore the traffic In liquor in that state
has been conducted on a quasilicense
system That is to say while the sale
Is absolutely forbidden dealers have
been allowed to sell with the under-
standing that once or twice a year
they should submit to arraignment in
court conviction and the payment of
a fine Thus the state gets the money
and the dealers get exemption for
their trade The chief Justice makes
announcement that this state of things
must come to an end and the humbug
of half a century seems to be exploded

To Teach Domestic Science
Miss Caroline Phelps Stoke several
times a millionaire in her own right
has endowed a $5000 scholarship in
domestic science at the Teachers' col-
lege in New York A special competi-
tive course will be established and
graduates of other colleges may enter
for the prize Domestic science as
now taugh at Teachers' college is an
affair of engrossing interest It com-
prehends much of the lore maidens
formerly acquired under a less scien-
tific if more motherly influence sepa-
rates the wheat from the chaff adds

Controversy Over Clara Barton
A controversy has been started as to
whether Clara Barton's age is 73 or
82 Her defenders in reply to the
charges that she is too old to conduct
the affairs of the Red Cross have said
that she was only 73 Indeed books
containing biographical sketches of
Miss Barton confirm this as they say
she was born in Oxford Mass in
1830 The suspended Washington
members of the Red Cross known as
the "minority" are reported to have
said they have an affidavit from the
fanacclerk of East Oxford Mass

eaU it by no harsher name—largely tw
dulged in by the newspapers which II
desire to correct The particular in-
stance now referred to is that of the
'settlement' in connection with the
marriage of the earl of Yarmouth
Briedy the facts are these (each is
put into a separate paragraph in order
to be more clearly understood):
"Miss Thaw now the countess of
Yarmouth at the death of her father
was left (as were each of his five
children by his second marriage) an
independent fortune of nearly half a
million dollars Half of this amount
was immediately put into trust for
each child the income only to be
available during their lifetime
"Part of the remaining half of the
fortune of each of the children con
slats of one-tenth share each in the
William Thaw coke trust which is
tied up absolutely and irrevocably
save as to income
"What is known as the 'tree estate
of Miss Thaw amounting to about
one-half of the whole estate has been
by consent of herself and Lord Yet
mouth formed into a third trust to be
managed by the Fidelity Title and
Trust company of Pittsburg together
with one Individual trustee
"The income from all three trusts
will be paid to the countess of Yar
mouth except a small complimentary
t0S0GtOtOtt000000104-
fractional income (nothing like what
at various times has been stated)
which she without suggestion from
the other side allotted to the earl him
self
In ease of her death it is arranged
that the income from about one-fifth
of her total estate will be paid over to
or invested for the benefit of the title
and estate of Hertford to which
should he outlive his father the earl
will succeed"
A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
Motion in the Heavens That Awaits
an Explanation
Two years ago a new star blazed
out in the constellation Perseus
Such new stars are by no means rare
but this was so great and varied in
brilliancy so rapidly that it was
specially noteworthy Soon after the
outburst that made the star so
bright it was found to be surrounded
by a nebula and this nebula spread
outward around the nucleus gradually
as seen by the naked eye because of
the stars great distance but really
with immense speed In fact it has
been calculated that this speed was so
great that it seems impossible that
the spread of the nebula could have
been due to the motion of ordinary
matter at all It has been suggested
that the apparent motion was really
only a progressive illumination of the
nebulous matter by light from the ex
ploded star But Prof Simon New
comb calculates that even this will
not account for the motion for it was
at least ten times that of light We
have thus actually observed a motion
in the heavens that vastly exceeds
any other that we have ever heard
of whether it p e of projected matter
or of other waildaAngolt 114 we an

PHYSICIAN WHO SAYS HE HAS
FOUND CAUSE or SMALLPDX
Dr Councilman who is a membnr of the faculty of Harvard Medical'
School gave in Boston the details of the important discovery be has made
the nature of the germ that causes smallpox
THE CAUSE OF SMALLPDX
Seaton Physician Claims to Have
Made important Discovery
Dr William T Councilman profes
sor of pathology in the Harvard Medi-
cal School made a formal statement
last week to the Boston Society of
Medical Science announcing the dis-
covery of the cause of smallpox
The cause has been determined to
be the protozoa the lowest form of
animal life
The honor of making this discover
tulivitsicithipr Councilman' viho made
the following statement:
"This announcement is the outcome
of an investigation conducted by Drs
Councilman George Burgess Magrath
and Waiter Remsen Brinckerhoff with
the co-operation of the Boston board
of health during the recent epidemic
of the disease in this city It has been
determined that smallpox is caused by
a micro-organism representative of the
lowest form of animal life This fact
serves to relate the disease with ma-
laria and to distinguish it from many
other infectious diseases caused by
minute forms of vegetable life known
as bacteria"
Dr Councilman did not give many
tetails but said the work had been
going on since 1901 Dr Brinckerhoff
et the city hospital staff lived among
smallpox patients in Boston harbor
for several weeks in a habitation hard-
ly worthy of being called a shelter in
order to gather the material with
which Dr Councilman pursued his In
vestigations
He told how rabbits and monkeyi
were experimented upon Upon inoc
elation or exposure to smallpox rab-
bits have disease similar to smallpox
but it is not smallpox The monkey
however representing a higher form
of life was affected much the same as
a human being and had smallpox
practically in the same stages that
man suffers
Dr Councilman told how research
in the field of bacteriology was first
exhausted without finding the cause
of the disease Then falling bock on
anatomy the research was continued
and it was finally decided after re-
peated experiments that an organism
the protozoa was the cause of the dis-
ease A protozoa belongs to the ani-
mal kingdom and eo the field for
further investigation is pathological
tether than bacteriological
Slip of the Tongue Won Bride
Rev James C Bradley a young
preacher made a funny slip of the
tongue a couple of months ago but
is very glad of it now He was lead-
ing the service at a young people's
meeting and in the course of his
prayer said: "0 Lord give us clean
hearts humble hearts pure hearts
sweet hearts" The last caused a
Utter which nearly broke up the serv-
ice After the meeting was over one
of the young sisters jokingly inquired
It he really meant it Her question
gave him an opportunity to plead a
suit he had feared to suggest hith-
erto and the culmination of his odd
mistake in the pulpit came in his
union last week to the girl who bad

HAD NOT EXPECTED TO SPEAK
But Luckily Gen Young Had Speech
Ready in His Pocket
Gen B B M Young the first chief
of the new army staff was at a dinner
the other evening and was called upon
to speak The guests expected that he
would content himself with a few
stereotyped phrases but the general
rose to the occasion "Gentlemen" he
said "I beg you will pardon lay ex-
pression of surprise 1 have been
caught in a cul de sac 1 had not ex-
pected to speak on this occasion But

tura one arm of the veteran plunged
Into the labyrinths of his coat abci
produced a carefully prepared speech
which he proceeded to read The
apology for his unpreparedness and
the evidence of the painstaking war
in which be dressed his remarks in
advance were to much for the ban
misters and he was forced to suspend
his remarks until the uproar was over
