The following account of a Toronto wedding will be interesting to many Omaba people who are acquainted with the groom. The Daily Free Press of London, Ont., July 12, tells the story as folloy A pretty family wedding took place at No. 97 Wharncliffe Road, South London, at noon yesterday, when Miss Marie Alexandra, second daughter of Mr. J. §. Dewar, city editor of the Free Press, and Mr. Theodore Gradman of the firm of Browning, King & Co., Omaha, Neb., were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock. The interesting ceremony was performed under the glare of the electric light In the spacious front parlor, which had been darkened for the occasion and pro- fusely decorated with palms, ferns, smilax and other flowers, Rev. Evans Davis, M. A., rector of St. James' church, officiated. The bride was given away by her father, and looked charming In a dress of dotted Swiss muslin, trimmed with Valenciennes lace, and carried a boquet of wiite carna- tlons. Miss L. M. Dewar, eldest sister of the bride, was bridesmaid and was attired in @ dress of cream cashmere, trimmed with croam moire, and carried a bouquet of pois de senteur. ' Miss Irene C. Dewar, in a dress of white silk, made a beautiful little maid of honor. The groom was attended by Mr. James R. Dewar of the executive office, Unfon Pacific railway, Omaha. After the newly wedded pair had received the congratulations of those present the company, to the number of fifty-one, sat down to a sumptuous wedding breakfast, during which telegrams of congratulation were received from friends in Chicago, Win- nipeg, Omaha and elsewhere. The bride was the recipient of numerous and beautiful wedding presents, among which was a diamond brooch from the groom, all of which testify to the esteem in which she is held by her many acquaintances. After the ianer man had been fully satisfied the young couple left on the 4:30 express for Buffalo, and were followed to the Grand Trunk railrond station by many friends, who showered rice and old shoes upon them without stint. From Duffalo they go to Cleveland, thence by boat to Duluth, and from there to their home in Omaha. ~The bride is well and favorably known in Lon don, and carries the best wishes of a host of friends to her western home. On Minnotonka's Shores. F.OTEL ST. LOUIS, LAKE MINNETONKA, Minn., July 13.—Thinking of the thousands of clty folk who are at this moment enjoying the heated term at seashore, mountains or lakeside, concourse of pleasure seckers have found a more delightful spot than Minnetonka. —Sit- ting here on one of the broad verandas of Hotel St. Louls I see before me a scene that beggars description, Around the southern shore to my left is the ktreteh of land called Cottagewood and here are some of the most beautiful summer homes on the lake, not to forget mentioning Northvine, the charming spot selected by Sir Charles Gibson of St.’ Louls for his hospitable abode. It stands far round to the right of Hotel St. Louis and 18 built on a point of land that overlooks on the front the dancing waters of the lake, while far to the left, right and rear lie hundreds of acres of beautiful woods, parks and meadows, all in the possession of Sir Charles, who'Is the largest proprty owner on' Lake Minnetonka. One can scarcely know where to com- mence to tell of the almost innumcrable charms of this lovely place, for every spol has its own particular attraction. —Straight before me I can just detect the spircs of the Lake Park hotel, which, together with the Lafayette (a very “swagger” place), and Hotel St. Louis makes up a trio of three most tempting hostelries. The latte though mentioned last, does not stand least in' the opinion of pleasure seckers by any means. What do we do all day long? tell you. In the morning an early walk is first in order, or a row or sail on the lake, for the lazler ones, and at 11 all make a mad rush for the mail (pleaso notic» that I said mail—not male.) After luncheon we sleey and oh, how we do sleep. You may have tried it in a summer hotel yourself. At 5:30 the orchestra reminds us that it fs time to dress for dinner, and each fair damsel stands before her wardrobe and sighs, shall it be “‘my new one, my hlue one or the one T made last?’ and finally tak's the white duck with the red belt and tie and the inevitable Knox sailor, and frels satisfiod that so gowned “she’s right in it,” for that costume s ems to answer for all hours of the day—hops included, After dinner we often take a moonlight ride over the silvery water, and of course “Goodby, My Lover, Goodby, ellie Wis a Lady,” otc., get a good share of the at- tention. On 'Saturday night swallow f(ails and full dress are in order, and that even- ing is the time of all the week.

An Improved Type Designed and France, The use of compound locomotives abroad Is much more frequent than on our Ameri- can railways and some of the types adopted over there as a result of a number of years of experience differ widely from any of our own engines. The Parls, Lyons & Mediter- ranean line, which, by the way, is fre- quently referred to in France by the some- what gruesome nickname of the ‘“pour la mort”’ road, began experiments in 1888 with compound locomotives for express service, and after four years of study evolved a design which is of some novelty, at least to master mechanics on this side of the water. These engines have two coupled driving wheels on each side and a_leading truck with two or four wheels, There are four cylinders; those for high pressure steam taken direct from the bofler are placed out- side the frames of the locomotive between the front driving wheel and the rear truck wheel, and are connected to the rear drivers, while the low pressure cylinders are between the frames over the center of the truck and are coupled to the front drivers. While the outward appearance of the engine is therefore decidedly unusual, the most in- teresting feature about it is the boiler. In the 1888 type of engine the weight was 117,900 pounds, while the latest type weighs but 200 pounds. This reduction in weight was obtained in two ways: by sub- stituting steel for copper in fire boxes, after our own custom, and by reducing ‘the length of the boiler from 13 feet 3 inches to 9 feet 10 inches. The latter important change was made after some noteworthy experiments on boiler construction had been carried out by the engineers of the company. It had been known for some time that by using in a fourtcen-foot boiler tubes with ribs projecting from their interior surface instead of plain tubes, that the fuel was burned more economically. Unfortunately this desirable feature was offset by a draw- hack which more than counterbalanced it, viz.: The steaming capacity of the boiler was reduced. Then experiments were made to ascertain if the advantage could be re- tained and the difficulty avoided by using shorter tubes, and it was found that with ribbed tubes 2.56 in diameter the maximum evaporation is obtained when they are 9.84 feet long, which length has been adopted in the new engines, The capacity of tht cylinders has also been increased 20 per cent, so that now they are 13.39 and 21.26 inches in_diameter with a stroke of 24.4 inches. The Walschaert valve motion, with which some of the Columbian exposition Iccomotives were equipped, is used for the high pressure cylinders, and an independent motion of special design without eccentrics for the others. Both are controlled by a single steam reversing gear so arranged that a definite ratio of expansion in the high and low pressure cylinders is always maintained. The new engines are found to not only weigh less and be more economical than the older type, but to evaporate more water in spite of the smalled boiler, a strong proof of the value of careful scientific in- vestigation in designing machinery.

Plattsdeutschers force promise to gather In pafk today, where the an- nual v of the society is to be held. All the arrangements for a sociable time and the successtul ending of the affair have been completed by the committee on ar- rangements, consisting of Fred Stoecker, Claus Pahl and Claus Rohwer. Attrac- tions have been provided to suit the tastes of almost anybody. Races, shooting and bowling alley contests are among them. Socleties from Avoca, la.,, and Lincoln are expected to arrive, and will be met at the Union depot at 9:40 this morning. The combined forces will march from rmania hall at 1 o'clock in the afternoon to the Webster street depot, whence extra trains eave for the park halt an hour later. Another train s scheduled to pull out for the grounds at 3 p. u The music will be furnished by two bands, the Union Pacific and the Fort Omah Julius Peycke is to preside over the bowling alle contest, where the award to the win ner coneists of a fine gold medal Heimrod and Hans Petersen are to look after the shooting matches. Here, too, the prize will be a medal of pretty design. Retur from the park can be made by train at § and 11:40 in the evening and by carryalls to the Hanscom park motor terminus at any time. Ruser's is to be brilliantly illumin- ated during the evening. From information received by Philip Andres the eastern delegates to the conven- tion of the American Turnerbund at Denver will arrive in Omaha over the Rock Island at 9:40 this morning. The meeting was orig- inally to have been held on the Sth day of this month, but the railway situation at the time being such as to Impress the dele- gates with the fear of a walk home, the convention was postponed until next Tue: day. To show the representatives of ath- letic associations from the east proper cour- tesies the local society has decided to r ceive them at the depot, and leading Ger- mans of the city have volunteered to pro- vide a necessary number of carriages to en- able these sixty odd men to obtain a view of all the interesting points in Omaha. After the drive they are to dine at Maurer's and the Vienna restaurants, and later on they will prok be conveyed to the Plaitsdeutsche picnic Ruser’s for a short stay. Making an carly return the evening train will carry these delegates to Denver, accompanied by Ne- braska delegates. While here they will also be cntertained at Germania hall and in the German club rooms, where light refresh- ments are to be served shortly after their arrival. The committee from the Omaha turnverein having the matter in charge con- sists of Philip Andred, Herman Kunde, Dr. R. S. Lucke, Julius Fastner, E.

The coming Bohefian state tournament continues to be the Infetesting topic in Bo- hemian circles. If, predictions come true the affair will surpass anything attempted heretofore in this line. Increasing activity and interest surely augur well for the event. The committee from ithe,South Omaha sokol having the preliminary arrangements in charge has been compelled to effect a change of program in the place, Last Monday Sarpy Mills was selected for a gite. Saturday, Au- gust 25 will be; the first’ day of the tournament, The visiting teams and delegations will be received and conducted to Thalia hall, South Omaha, where lunch and other refreshments are to be served in the evening. The selec- tion of a leader will also occupy their time. On the following Sunday the contest will commence in earncst and early at Sarpy Mills. The four Omaha teams, consisting of two classes in the first and the same number 1 go by motor to the hall in South Omaha, and from there all the turners are to be taken by carryalls to Sarpy Mills. In the afternoon of that day special trains will accommodate spectators with a ride to the park. On Monday the announcement of prizes is to be made in South Omaha, and the rest of the day spent in sight seeing by the visitors from the interior of the state, under the guldance of members of local societies. On the opening of the tournament Mayor Johnston of South Omaha will deliver an ad- Qress of welcome to the visitors. The re- quisite number of athletes to constitute a team Is six, and fifteen teams will probably take part in the tournament, representing Omaha, South Omaha and the more thickly populated Bohemian centers in the interior of Nebraska. In the performances men are to be credited as individuals and members of teams at the same time. The first division will exercise on apparatus in per- formances rated from three to five points, the latter being considered the highest and equal to 100 per cent. For gymnasts of the second division, performances rating one to five points are allowable. In the long jumping one point will be al- lowed ‘or the fir:t twelve feet and an ad- itional point for every two feet up to six- teen. ‘Thereafter every foot is to be counted as a point. High jumping from three and a half to four and a half feet is counted at threo points, with additional points for every four inches thereafter. Tive feet in height will be considered as one point in pole vaulting; seven feet, three points, and an additional point for every six inches to eight feet. Four inches above that constitute an additional point. Fifteen feet is the lowe:t in rope climbing and necessary to gain a point. On six ad- Qitional feet two more points are granted and another one for every two feet ther after. Lifting fifty-pound dumbbells twenty- five times with one shift from right to left or vice versa, entitles gymnasts to a point. Above that number of Lfts they are credited with an additional point for every five clear In all the exerci-es first and second prizes for the first and second divisions are to be awarded; prizes consist of diplo- mas and medals. These rules were adopted at a recent meet- ing and according to members will be strictly enforced. The exerci:es are to be adjudged by nine judges, three of whom are from Omaha. In_addition to the Tel Jed sokol, the local Bohemian Catholic soclety and Benevolent Tyrs are to participate. Anton Steiger, John Krechler and Chaj Bartos, are the local judges. The first team, first’ division, will consist of the following: Rudolph Havelka,Joseph Chval, F. B. Flala, F.

Snengerfost. increasing interest Is approaching Nebraska Snengerfest to be held at Columbus next month, The affair continues to be almost the sole tople in singing circles, with a view of making it the grandest state affair of this kind. As has been published here some doubt as to the absolute advisability of selecting such a difficult song as “'Die Gelsterschlacht” for rendition has been expressed locally, and the opinion is gaining ground that Omaha's socleties will probably be called upon to render this, while unsup- ported from the interior of the state, Since this scems to be the probabliity, Omaha singers are discussing the reported action of Fest Director Pohl at Columbus in engaging an Omaha orchestra, which Is to accompany the choir in this song. It is contended, since it becomes more probable that Omaha alone will be called upon to give this number, that local singers ought to have been consulted about the selection of a band, which s to play such an important part in the sful rendi- tion of the spirit's battle. Without decry ing the ability of the engaged band, the say none but finished artists in their line, such as can be furnished by Omaha, ought to be employed to give proper expression, convey a proper understanding and attend- ant appreciation of this beautiful song to the hearers. This is only contention for complete suce at the fest, It is main- tained.

New System of Printing for the Blind Com- ing Into Use. yland School for North avenue, has received the first bible published in the New York point alphabet for the use of the blind. This bible may have a strong influence In revolutionizing the alphabet system of study by the blind, says the Baltimore Sun. The new bible is in cleven large volumes and was executed in Louisville, Ky., by the American Printing House for the Blind, which is an annex of the Kentucky Insti- tute for the Blind. Eleven employes were occupied for nearly ar in preparing the copies, which are being sent to all the schools for the blind in the country through the American Bible aszociation. The alphabet in which the work is pub- lished consists of a series of raised points grouped arbitrarily to represent letters ables or entire words. This alphabet use in most of the schools for the blind in this country in connection with the alphabet,” which consists of raised Roman letters. ~ Many educators of the blind cling {o the old line alphabet and give it the pref- erence in their schools, while others claim for the point alphabet superior advantages. Superintendent . D. Morrison of the Maryland School for the Blind is one of the ‘most earnest advocates of the use of the point system, which, he says, is not only more concise and more easily made, but is more easily learned and more quickly read than the line alphabet. He also says that the line alphabet requires a much more sensitive touch than the point system. Little boys and girls at the Maryland school have acquired great facility in read- ing the point alphabet in a short time. They can write, too, with ease, their writing im- plements consisting of a soft pad covered with heavy manilla paper and a stylus, with which they prick little points on the paper from right to left, to be read from left to right. The pupils who leave the school carry on regular correspondence in point writing with their former classmates. Many yeirs ago, at a convention of edu- cators of the blind, Mr. Morrison expressed his belief that the New York point em would supercede all others. His state ment was not credited, so widespread was the use and belief in the advantages of the line alphabet. ~ Since that time large num- bers of standard works on religious, liter- ary and scientific subjects, as well as text books, have been published in the point alphabet. “The greatest drawback to progress in the introduction of the point system,” said Mr. Morrison yesterday, “‘has been the fact that the only bible for the blind was in the line alphabet, a big work of twenty volumes, This was a big stumbling block that seemed for a while irremovable, owing to the great expense of making a new bible. That stumbling block is now removed, and the advocates of the point system fecl that they may advance their arguments with confi- dence at the coming convention of edu- cators of the blind at Chautauqua, now that they are able to take their stand bible in hand.

McK the big chair and the artist, who claims to have scraped the face of General Washing- ton, approached the congressman with razor and napkio, and after having adjusted the cloth stepped back in wonder.® ‘“Massa Con- gressman,” the artist said, *you reminds me of Daniel Webstah.” Mr. McKeighan smiled visibly and replied: “It is (he sizc of my head or the massive brain that puts you in mind of the great orator, I suppose?” “No, sah,” he stammered; “no, sah; not yo' head, sah.
