wedded at l¥lle>» VnnenU. Wyoming, W. Va.. Special to Baltimore Sun. The wife of William Markell died some three weeks ago, leaving three ffmftll children, the youngest of whom was a babe of 11 days, all three of them tw.ing girls. As is the custom of the country folk here in the mountains, the burial took place shortly after death and the date of the funeral was set at a late time. Yesterday the friends of the late Mrs. Markell assembled in the little chapel to pay their last sad re spects to the depiurted wife, and the minister highly extolled her virtues. As the audience was dismissed with the benediction, Mr. Markell, the chief mourner, stepped up to the puli>it and handed the minister a docuinent. All was sileooe, and a breathless curiosity pervaded httle sanctuary, which was accented when Miss Haldee Bich- urds, a comely girl of 22, left her pew and advanced to the chancel rail. Th^ minister, with hid voice be traying tlje strain under which he was laboring, requested that the audience again be seated, whereupon he announced to them-4hat the document he held in his hand was a license permitting aoy or dained minister of the Grospel to unite in wedlock Mr. Willian Markell and Miss Haidee Richards, and that he had been asked to perform the marriage rite at this time. Thereupon the ceremony took place, and the audience, which had just been »lled uf^n to condole, were pven an opportunity to congratu late the same man who had been sud- dently traneformed from a sorrowing widower to a happy bridegroom. Ex planations were then demanded, and it was shown that !)he strange proc^ings were in deference to the dying request and expressed wish of the deceased, that her schoelmate>and closest friend. Miss Haidee, should on the day of her funeral become the bride of her late husband, and thus be permitted a mother’s rights to care for and rear her motherless Uttle ones. ~ ■ SUemee Yon Cas S^,' ' ~ ' There Is no such thing as silence In this world. It is an impossibility. Tbat to partly the reason why science has en abled us to see it The explanation of the paradox is this: Silence, as we understand it, sim ply means that there are sounds too d^cate or too loud for tbe ear to regis ter. In other words, when we can’t hear anything we call tbat condition "silence.” But wherever you are there aie sounds around you. Even in tlie deepest mine the air vibrates and makes a sound. An instrument bas been invented that will catch these sounds and permit of the vibrations be ing represented pictorially on a screen, and in that way you may see silence and properly understand what it By comparing the pictures of noises with those of that condition of things known as silence we gain an idea of the difference between a ooisy night, for Instance, and one when “absolute si lence reigns,” as the novelist puts it.

As in Gen. 1 and U and: Rev. xxf and xxii so throughout this whole Bible the story is that of God working out His eternal purpose (Eph. ill, 11) notwith standing the opposition of the devil and of sinful controlled by the devil. The special story of the- 4pcte is that of the beginning of the gather ing out from the gentiles a people for His name (xv, 14), and this work be gan in the home of Cornelius under Peter, as record'ed in our lesson. Al though the Lord had commanded be fore His ascension that the gospel be preached to every creature and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Mark xvi, 15; Acts 1, 8), the preaching had up to this time been to the Jews only (xi, 19), and Peter had to receive a special vision to teach him tbat God was no respecter of persons. 36-38. Preaching peace by Jesua Christ. These glad tidings were for Israel first (Luke xxlv, 47; Acts 1, 8), but In order that Israel might reach out to the gentiles, which they were slow to do. God made the sinless one to be sin for us that we might In Him be made righteous before Grod (II Cor. y, 21), and apart from Him there Is no righteousness, no salvation, however devout or priayerful a man may be. Even Nicodemus had to be born from above In order to enter the kingdom of God, and Peter bad to bring to Cor nelius the message by which he and his house might be saved (xi, 14), for there Is ho salvation apart from the reception of Christ and faith In His atoning blood (Acts iv, 12; Lev. xvll, 11). 39. We are witnesses. A witness does not need to get up bis little speech or make up anything. He simply tells truthfully what he knows, and the redeemed of the Lord are continually on the witness stand proclaiming something concerning Je sus Christ If all the redeemed were true witnesses, what a glorious testi mony W'ould be ever going forth con cerning Him who'ls altogether lovely! 40-42. He commanded us to preach unto the people and to testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. In all their preaching these wltnessea fall not to declare tbat although the Jews killed Jesus God raised Him from the dead and showed Him open ly to chosen witnesses, and now Peter declares, as Paul afterward does (xvII, 31), that He Is the God appointed Judge of all mankind. 43. To Him give all the prophets wit- neaa. On the way to Emmaus as He talked with those two that resurrection day He exiKtunded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Him self and taught that all things concern ing Him in the law, the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled (Luke xxlv, 27, 44). The Sph-it of Christ was In the prophets, and the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (I Pet. 1, 10, 11; Rev. xlx, 10), and' the uniform testimony of ail In whom the Spirit speaks is tliat the flret great essential Is the forgiveness of sinsi and this can be had only in Christ by His precious blood. 4t While Peter yet apake these words the Holy Ghost feU on aU them which heard the word. The message was not Peter’s mes sage, but the Lord’s own message through Peter, and Cornelius so rec ognized It, for he had said to Peter, “We are all here present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God” (verse 33). As the word tvas spoken the Spirit wrought, their opened hearts recelvf;d Him of whom Peter‘In the-power of the Spirit i^ke, and the Spirit Himself came fif power' upon them at the same time.'' 45, 46. They heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. It was as at Pentecost (chapter 11, 4), except that there was no waiting, for the Spirit having come as our Lord promised there Is no longer any need to wait, but where the heart Is open and the Lord truly received there may be also the filling of the Spirit While there is no need to wait any definite time to be filled with the Spirit, there may be a need to wait b^use of the unreadiness of the believer to receive. There came with Peter six Jewish bretll^en from Joppa (Acts xl, 12), who, aithougb believers, were astonished when they saw the Holy Spirit given to these gentiles. It Is to this day diffi cult for some believers to thlnir that any people can be blessed outside of their so called churches, but they need to learn that God Is no more a respect er of denominations than of persons. 47, 48. He commanded thenf^to be bap tized In the name of the Lord. Here is something helpful for those who make baptism with water essen tial to the new birth, for behold In this company in Cornelius’ house some sav ed and Spirit filled people who have not yet been baptized with water and are thus baptized after they have been saved and have received the gift of the Holy Ghost On the other hand, we have in Acts xlx, 1-6, some disciples who, having been baptized, had not heard anything about the Holy Spirit so they were baptized again and at the hands of Paul revived the gift of the Holy Ghost and spake with tongues and prophesied. I mention this to show that we must make-esSential to salvation only that which God makes essential—Tlx, receiving Christ (John 1, 12; I John t, U, 12). Jaat What He Ne^ed. A man went with his wife to visit her physician. The doctor placed a ther; mometer in.the woman’s mouth. After two three minutes, just as the physician was about to remove the instrument, the man, who was not used to such a prolonged spell of brilliant sriepcfe on the part of his life partner said: 'Doctor, what wilt you take for that thing?” The Prealdeat’a Chaxieaton Charlotte Observer. President Roosevelt made a good speech at Charleston yesterday. With out attempting an asialysiB o^.it, there are several points ia it of particuliur' in tent. One is the Chief Executive’s evident desire to deal fairly with Cuba. He well says: We have rightfully insisted Upon Cuba adopting toward us an attitude differing politically from that adopts toward any other power; and in return, &S a matter of right, we must give Cuba a different—tlut is, a better —position economically in her relations with us than we give to oth» powers. This is the course dictated by sound policy, by a wise and far-sighted view of pur own interest, and by ^e position we have taken duii&g the past four years. We are a wealthy and powerful ■coulotillt dealing witfi a> much weaker one^ and the contrast in. wealth and strength makes it all the more dur duty to deal with Cuba, as we have already dealt with her, in a spirit of large gen erosity. It is due to the President that the 20 per cent, tariff reduction is to be grant ed on Cuban sugar. There is little doubt but that for this firm insistence upon this concession, the Republican party in Congress would have yielded to the selfish dictation of the trusts and Cuba would not have fared evega so weU as she does in the rending bill. The President, while fully recognizing the great problems that this govern ment has to deal with, takes a charac teristically hopeful view of their ulti mately satisfactory solution. He very tersely and truly remarks that wealth has its rights, it being simply “the form of embodied thrift” and that we can not accomplish anything for the welfare of the country by raving against it or penalizing the qualities which tell for success.” And then he has this to say about trusts: This is an era of great combinations both of labor and capital. In many ways these combinations have worked for good, but they must work under the law, and the laws concerning them must be just and wise, or they would inevitably do evil; and this applies much to the richest corporation as to to the most powerful lator union. Qpir laws must be mse, sane, healthy, con ceived in the spirit x)f those who scorn the mere agitator, the mere inciter of class .or sectional hatred; who ^ justice for all men; who recognize the need of adhering so far as possible to the old American doctrine of ^ving. the widest possible scoi« for the free exercise of individual initiative, and yet who recognize also that after com binations have reached a certain stage it is indispensable to the general wel fare that the nation should exercise over them cautiously and with self- restraint, but firmly, the power of su pervision and regulation. In view of the pending litigation in the Supreme Court o^the United States to prevept the merging into one man agement of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads by the Nmih- em Securities Company, this utterance of the President appears to be signifi cant. : Wood Too Hard to Sara.

' It is well to re member also that failure to (lay by May 1st and con^uent disfranohise- ment does not relieve one the duty of paying the tax. The sheriff or tax collector can and will collect tbe tax in any event, and if not paid by May 1st you will have to pay after you are dis franchised. It is the failure to pay by May 1st that operates against the exer cise of the electoral franchise.

The laaiing men of the convention think that they have succeeded in do ing an unconstitutional thing constitu tionally.
