If I remember right, some time since the electric company objected to a change in the time of lighting because of the law, but by some means their ob- jections were overcome. Now, if the Com- missioners can change the time in this case, why can’t they do it to suit any wish they may desire? My point is, what right have the Commissioners to change or ig- nore the law, “simply because they think the public is better served?” It appears to me that the law is their guide. If you will examine the recommendations of the Commissioners to the last Congress, and the bill as it passed the House, I think you will find that the clause “from sunset to sunrise’ was left out, but the Senate reinserted it, and wisely, because they did not want to give to the Commissioners the power to order the lights not lit when they expected the moon to do the lighting, or have them extinguished after it had as- sumed the function of shining. The troubie is, I think, the Mystic Three assume too mvch authority, and there is no one to call them down but the newspapers, and unless you are very careful you will have to get their consent to criticise them. What our town wants badly is 3,000 electric lights, ard I think that number could be had for about 30 cents per lamp per night, which would be reasonable enough, considering the wires would all have to be under ground. The present price—40 cents—is not high when you consider the number, some- what over 300, and the inspection, restric- tions and fines. Tonight (Saturday) it was dark, very dark, at 6:45. But the lights were not lit until some time after 7 o'clock. Better have them “from sunset to sunrise.” R. —_—_—._—_ Bruin Hunted in His Turn. ‘A fight between a California grizzly and the Mexican fighting bull “Panther” took place yesterday, as advertised, in the bull ring in New Laredo, Mexico., but though it pleased the crowd it was not much of a fight. Great consternation was caused at one stage of the game when the bear, be- ing pursued, proceeded to climb out over the top of the cage. Old staid, phlegmatic citizens and government officials, bankers and business men, who had not been oblig- ed to move actively since their boyhood, all made a rush for the top railing. The bear is the same that fought the lion “Parnell” on April 1, but the cage was much en- larged for this event, being thirty feet in diameter, perfectly round and 15 feet high. Anything with a bull in it pleases the Mex- icans, and a fight of great interest will probably take place in Monterey, Mexico, next Sunday, when one of the best fighting bulls is going against the lion “Parnell” in the same large cage. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Wedded Amid F-owers, Finery and Friends. Miss Mayo and Mr. Elverson, jr., Miss Fendall and Mr. Wendell, Miss Cox and Mr. Whiting Married Today. NEW YORK, April 16—Miss Eleanor Mayo, daughter of Frank Mayo, was at 12:30 today married to Col. James Elverson, jr., general manager of the Philadelphia In- quirer, by the Rev. Dr. Arthur Brooks, at the Church of the Incarnation. Col. Elver- son was attended by his best man, Mr. Lemuel Coffin Altemus of Philadelphia. The ushers were Mr. C. Emory McMichael, manager of the Philadelphia North Amer- jean; Edward W. Osborne, publisher of the Cleveland Press, and Mr. J. Ambrose Butler, publisher of the Buffalo Evening News. There were no bridesmaids, but Miss Mayo was attended by her sister, Miss Deronda Mayo, as maid of honor. The cer- emony was after the usual Episcopal ritual. ~ Miss Mayo awas one of the most beautiful brides of the season. She wore an ivory- white satin gown, en train, elaborately trimmed with point lace, high neck and long sleeves. The bodice was full in front, trimmed with strings of pearls. From the bodice long festoons of lace hung over the skirt. The veil, edged with point lace, fell back to the extreme end of the train. Miss Deronda Mayo wore a gown of blue mousse- line de soie over a white silk skirt. The bride carried a large bouquet of Easter lilies. The wedding party marched up the aisle to the wedding march from “Lohen- grin,” and filed out to Mendelssohn’s Wed- ding March. There were present a large number of the friends of the contracting parties, includ- ing a large delegation from Philadelphia. Mr. Charles H. Heustis, editor of the In- quirer, and the promnent members of the editorial staff and business department of Mr. Elverson’s newspaper. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the Waldorf for the bridal party. After a short tour the young couple will settle down to housekeeping at the res- idence the groom has fitted up on South 21st street, Philadelphia. Miss Mayo is well known for her remark- able beauty and her unusually rich voice, which has been trained by the best mast- ers. She is a great social favorite in both New York and Philadelphia society. Col. Elverson is one of the youngest newspaper managers in the country. He is in the business control of the Philadelphia Inquirer, which is owned by his father. He is a prominent member of the American Publishers’ Association, and is sie Ces one of the brightest newspaper méA in America. He is a member of the staff of Gov. Hastings, a member of the Union League and Clover Clubs of Philadelphia and of several leading clubs in New York and Washington. St. John’s Church was thronged at noon today by the friends assembied to witness the marriage of Miss Marian Fendall, daughter of the late Maj. Philip R. Fen- dall, U. S. marine corps, to Mr. Jacob Wen- dell, jr., of New York city. The chancel was elaborately and most tastefully decked with palms and Easter flowers—iilies, jon- quils and narcissus. The ushers were Mor- ton C. Nichols, George Blagden,jr., Rufus McDuffie, Arthur B. Nichols, Lloyd McKim Garrison and Charles D. Wetmore of New York city; Matthew Luce, jr., of Boston, and Walter D. Davidge of this city. They were kept busy until the arrival of the bridal party in seating the guests. When the bridal procession pasesd up the aisle to the chancel it was headed by the ushers, who were followed by the bridesmaids walking in single file. Miss Gertrude Tred- ick was first, followed by Miss Mary Ar- thur Fendall, both being cousins of the bride. Then came Miss Louise Kellogg of Williamstown, Mass., Miss Kittie Taylor of New York, Miss Mary Magruder of Annapo- lis, and Miss Maud Davidge. Last of all came the bride, escorted by her uncle, Mr. Titus Salter Tredick of Portsmouth, N. H. At the chancel gate they were met by the groom and his best man, Mr. Evert Jansen Wendell of New York, who is his brother. The betrothal service took place at the gate, Dr. Mackay-Smith officiating, and af- ter the bridal party was grouped about the altar Rev. Mr. Southgate of Annapolis, Md., finished the impressive service. The bride was superbly gowned in white satin, the skirt was entirely plain and the high-necked bodice girlishly trimmed in chiffon and point lace. A yoke effect of the gathered chiffon was outlined by a deep fall of point lace, which was continued over the shoulders and stood out stifily on the high puffed sleeves. A garland of orange blos- soms crossed the shoulders. A diamond star brooch was worn and the tulle veil was held to the hair under a gold band, on which glittered in the front two diamond mercury wings. These latter were the gift of the groom and the other ornaments were family jewels. Her bouquet was of white violets and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaids’ gowns were most ef- fective, the first. two were in pink and white, the next two in green and white and the third couvle wore yellow and white. The material of their gowns was white silk, striped in satin of either of these colors. The bodices were of plain satin, over which were the daintiest blouse effects of tucked white mull, striped with narrow Valen- ciernes lace, tabs of which also fell over the puffed striped satin sleeves. Their hats were of white Neapolitan straw, trimmed with white ostrich tips and flowers to match their gowns. They wore souvenir brooches, the gift of the bride. They wore wreaths of white enamel leaves, glistening with pearls and diamonds. Their bouquets were great bunches of white lilac. The groom gave all the men of the bridal party gold scarf pins in the shape of a wedding bell, which they wore. Mr. Robert At- kinson of Boston, an intimate friend of the groom, presided at the organ, playing the Lohengrin and Mendelssohn marches with soft-toned symphonies of his own composition during the service and after the bridal party had passed out of the church. A wedding breakfast followed at the residence of the bride’s aunt, Miss Mary Lee Fendall, 1319 New Hampshire avenue, which was attended by the relatives of the couple and the intimate friends of the bride. The newly married coujle re- ceived the congratulations of the com- pany standing in a bower of green ar- ranged in the bay window. From an.arch of green hung curtains of asparagus, loop- ed back with bunches of Easer lilies. In the center hung a wedding bell of white blossoms, with a lining of jonqui and a clapper of violets.

Often we tnd people complaining at this time of year that after exposure it takes them a long tine to get thoroughly warm. A spring cold has grip- bed them with its gaunt, fey fingers.

A large fat lady, and a blushing young maiden of seventeen, got on the street car at the corner of Peachtree and Pine. Both were well dressed and prosperous looking, but, strange to say, the mother carried a large broom in her hand. She walked in, sat down and spread out the broom over two-thirds of the length of the car. The young lady blushed, put the broom aside while she could sit down and then placed it across her lap. She glanced, blushingly, at every one in the car. At the next ‘street five people got on, and the young lady, her face as red as fire, again shoved the broom aside, and then replaced it gently across their laps. They nursed it for a block or two, when the timid girl tried to relieve herself. “If this broom doesn’t suit you,” said the mother, “I'll put it in front of me.” She changed its position so that the next four men who came in stumbled over It. The large lady looked at them angriiy. The other passengers were looking at her with dangerous gleams in their eyes. She was utterly oblivious. The young lady was looking at everybody apologetically. Some- body remarked aloud that there were ways and ways of carrying a broom on a car. The stared at them, “Some people,” she explained to a friend, who got on a block or two nearer in, “kick up a fuss about carrying a brocm on a car. As for me, I think it’s all right.
