The time aet for the wedding was 11 o'cloek and It was just that hour when the bridal party entered the eburch. For many minutes before, a fins drls- iling rained been falling, but the people came by the hundred. Within the white ribbons were seated the rela tives and particular friends pf the' bride and groom. The ushers were Mr. Henry King, Dr. Norwood Carroll, Dr. George Bean and Mr. Charles Heartt. When the bridal paity entered the deor, the famous wedding march from Lohengrin was played grandly. It was a pretty alter before which stood the bride and groom, surround ed by tha wedding party, for the clear light of numerous candalabrae and the pink chrysanthemums and ferns that lavishly decorated ths the altar and chancel made a charming picture; and it was a simply beautiful ceremony with, which Dr. Pittinger made the hagpy couple man and wife. The "beat man," Mr. Cobb, sf Suffolk, Vs., and the maid of honor, Mies Nannie Mo Mackin, stood by the bride and groom. The solemnly beogtiful Episcopal ring ceremony was need.

M. McPhee ters, Superintendent of tha Water Company, today to know if there was any way to prevent this inconvenience and expense: "Oh yes, a very simple matter. But like everything, requires s little forethought, and just a little trouble.. The way to prevent freezing of pipe in sold weather is to close the stop and waste cock, which shuta off ths supply and allows 'he water that is in tha pipes to drain back and waste ont at the small hole on the side of the atop and . waste; provided that this hole ia not stopped up, and yoa open all ths faucets ia the bouse, Suppose this small hole is stopped "It Is rery : easy to nn-stop it. Jnst turn tha handle of the stop and waste, and push In a wire, or small ail. That will eleaa tha mud ont. It is advisable to sea that the stop and waste works wsll befors sold weather. Some times they corrode so that it is slmosijmpoasible to furn them. Now all houses do aot hare a stop and waste, but bars a hydrant. Where there are hydrants a cock and waste Is not essential, for ia closing the hy drant off as far as it will go, It drains itself These stop and waste eockt are sometimes placed In a box ia the yard, often in ths cellar, and always on ths main pips supplying ths house. Every occupant of a. building where ths water has been Introduced should know where these stop and waste cocks are" ' , i ,. i Ths Superintendent was asked tf by allowing the water to run would, it prevent f reeling. "In some eases it ill," replied Mr. McPheeters, "but tt is a violation of the company's rules aa it waste ths water and does ae good. Ia most eases wlire this is done, the waste pipe f reeaea. . If there is no water ia the pipe iteenaot freeae, and i a stop and watte is made and put on to let the water out." . The Superin tendent was asked how to prevent the traps of water - closets, wash-stands, etc., from freeaingr "A hand-full of salt thrown ia the water closet, and lest in the smaller traps, ' will make this water brine. . Brine does no barm to the closets and traps, and never freeies. There are many people who do aot know whsre ths stop and waste to their house is, and It is their fault. We arc ready at all time to send and show them" Mr. McPheeters waa question about the new machinery and other improve meats that will be made J , "About this we are not talking. : Ton can just say that contracts have bean given for ths latest improvsd machinery to take ths place of the old power pumpa."
