Y, April 30.— William Vincent Astor, son of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor and heir to the bulk of the $87,000,000 As tor estate, and Helen Dinsmore Hunt ington, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Palmer Huntington, and his boyhood playmate, were married to day by the Rev. C. H. Duncan in & simple ceremony at Hopeland House, Staatsburg, the home of the bride’s pareuts. The coriginal wedding plans called for a wedding in the Church of St Margaret, of which the Rev. Mr. Dun can is rector, with 250 spectators. But the recent grave illness of Mr. Astor caused the change in the ar rangements, The beantiful home of the Hunt ingtons, which stands on the famous Dinsmore estate six miles from Fern cliffe, the Astor country home, was a bower of flowers. The festoons and buds were almost entirely from the famous conservatories of Mrs. Wil liam B. Dinsmore, mother of Mrs. Huntington. Her home is a short distance from Hopeland House. The few out of the great number of friends of the young couple who were invited made up in distinction what was lacking in numbers. * Attended Only by Sister. Miss Huntington's only attendant was her sister, Miss Alice Hunting ton, the maid of honor. Mr. Astor was accompanied to the altar by his best man, Hermann Oelrichs, the boyhood friend with whom he spent many happy days Nnkeﬂnf with en gines, batteries and machinery. The tall, falr-locked girl, who henceforth is to be “the” Mrs. Astor, made a graceful bride. Mr. Astor, more than six feet tall, slender and showirg the effect of the successive illnesses through which he had re cently passed, bore a grave and court-- ly part in the scene. | The wedding service was short. After jt there was a reception, which was less formal than most such so ciety functions, and a wedding break fast. The guests, from New York for the most part, had come up to Staatsbursg on a special train this morning. Prominent in the wedding party was Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, mother of the bridegroom, and first wife of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor. She was very happy to-day. Her joy in her son was obvious to all who watched her, Still Hope to Pass New Anti-Trust Bill WASHINGTON, April 30 -—-Mutual savings banks not conducted for profit are to be exempted specifically by the House Judiclary Committee from its bill prohibiting .~ interlocking directorates among banks and financial institutions having capital and surplus of $2,500,000. ‘The trust bills are still in the hands of a subcommittee, 'The Iramers are working on the assumption that there is to be trust legislation at the present session of Congress, “Smell the Cl mell the Clover, Moo Like a Cow"” LOS ANGELES, April 30.—" Smell the clover and moo llke & cow; smell the honeysuckle and busz like a bee.” This is part of the instruction of a new teacher's manual of music for . ele mentary schools, written by Miss Kath ryn Stone, superintendént of mrusic in 1.08 Angeles schools, The instruetions include imitations of drums, wind through trees, bugle calls and automo biles, .

They compare favorably with the weeklies of all the States, and they are far and pway better than the weeklies of the States bordering Georgia. 1 The power and influence of the weekly press is far-reaching, more over—and in Georgia there isn’t any influence more worth while or more effective for the common good than the average sincere, level-headed, in-l telligent and industrious editor of the country and smaller town publica-1 tions. In a recent issue The Darien G‘-1 ‘gette carried the following modest bu! highly interesting editorial mentlon‘ of itself: The Darien Gazette is 40 years 1 old to-day, the first issue having appeared on April 25, 1874, While it all hasn't been sunshine, we are not unmindful of the fact— and it is a fact—that without re verses we would not have been able to appreciate the good things of this life to their fullest extent. It's the Lord's way. i . Richard Grubb, the editor of The Gazette, is a distinctive and genuine’ Georgian. He has grown up with Georgia since the war—has been part and parcel of her best and most wor thy endeavor, His newspaper runs four pages every week, and is filled first with news, and, second, with homemade views and philosophy. All of Editor Grubb's readers know nim personally—and, practically with out exception, they love him. Finan cially, his newspaper has never been a gold mine, but it has kept its head well above water all of the time, and it makes enough monéy, perhaps, in proportion to the financial investment involved! : Anyway, “Dick” Grubb lives among his subscribers, calls them by their first names, stands sponsor at the christenings of the kids, attends the weddings, and acts as pallbearer at the funerals! His paper is a welcome vigitor to the homes of all his people—it is not spectacular, but it rings true. To read it is just like having a friendly fire side chat with the editor! Whatever it is that “Dick” has to ‘say to his subscribers, he says 1t in straightforward, everyday language —it “goes over the head” of nobody. ' As a result, it carries convietion— and when "Dick” says a good word for somebody in his community, why, it goes! Congratulations, therefore, cordial, honest and heart-felt, for “Dick” Grubb and his Gazette! May The Gazette experience many happy returns of its birthday—and may “Dick” live long and prosper! Judge F. M. Longley, well known and highly regarded, not onmly in Troup County, but throughout the State, has announced his .cahdidacy for the State Senate. He has repre sented his county in both the Senate and House of Represntatives. It is rumored that the judge will be a candidate for President of the Sen ate if the people of the district honor him with the Senatorship, Barly in the spring Colonel E. T.

Wires on Way Home NEW YORK, April 30.—A cable gram received to-day from Col. Theo dore Roosevelt states that the ex- President has been ill for several weeks on his exploring trip to Brazil, but is much better now. The cable gram was sent by Colonel Roosevelt to his cousin, W. Emlen Roosevelt. The message states that the Roose vels party has arrived at Manaos, Bragil, 900 miles up the Amazon from the coast, and said that Colonel Roosevelt expected to return in about a month. The dispatch also contains congratulations for Mr. and Mrs. Richard Derby on the birth of a boy last month.

Attorney General Warren Grice has made it very plain, in an opinion recently handed Treasurer Speer, that the automobile tax can not be dis tributed among the various counties this year without further legisiation. He has recommended, therefore, that the fund now accumulated be held in the Treasury for the next 60 days or so, pending the summer session o/ the General Assembly, that it may be distributed eventually both legally and fairly. Both the Treasurer and the Attor ney General would have preferred to see this fund distributed without any sort of delay, but neither could find legal warrant for such distribution— hence the tentative agreement reach ed between them, The opinion of the Attorney General is concise and pointed, and very clear as to the law as it stands, Governor Jechn M. Slaton and Com missioner of Agriculture James D, Price will attend, as special guests of honor, the blf Seventh District Ma sonic convention, to be held in Rome on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The Governor and the Commission er will leave Atlanta Wednesday aft ernoon and return Thursday evening, and both are down for addresses at the jubilee g?therinc in the local opera house Wednesday evening. Both officials are Masons, Knights Templars and Shriners, and both take great interest in these orders. G. B. Maddox, of Floyd County, who managed one of Joseph M. Brown's campaigns for the Governorship, is in Atlanta for a day or so. ~ “The people of Floyd County, so far as I am aware” said Mr. Maddox, “are not concerning themselves par ticularly with politics, one way or the other, right now. One hears the mat ter discussed in rather a repressed and quiet fashion now and then, but nobody is excited about things. Of course, the game is yet young and far too young to venture a prediction %as to what Floyd will do. 1 think the county is vet to be won in both the Senatorial matters and in the Gov } ernorship!” E. Lee Worsham, who has just been electad head of the great Na tional Conservation Society, is one of the best-known men in the United States—as a matter of fact, it is doubtful, really, whether any other official in the State is as widely known abroad as Worsham. There is not a department of agri culture in the nation in wiN'h he is not considered a final authority on things entomological, and in Wash ington City his name carries great weight in all the big departments. Wors@am is an extremely modest man, however, and is not at all given to sounding his own trumpet—indeed, he was elected president of the great national conservatior body before Georgians generally even knew he was slated for such an honor. Georgia ought to be—and is—proud of Lee Worsham. No State has a more effective or a more genuinely qualified public servant working for it than this State has in Lee Wor sham, " Tatao, New Rhythm Dance, Takes Place 0f Tango in London LONDON, April 30.—"D0 you ta tao?” is the common question now on the tongues of the fashionable. The new dance (s the successor of the tango. . It is over 2,000 years_old; it_has six movements and 1s "“mainly a rhythmic” dance. The dancers dance with their hands and arms as weil a® with their feet. This waving and undulating of arms and hands makes the dance both a great novelty and also a trap for those who are not naturally graceful. Many cut a ri diculous figure in it In one moment the lady stands still and her partner glides up and down in front of her. The ordinary man may not unnaturally feel he is mak ing a fool of himself.

The bodies, piled in heaps at the bottom of the shaft, give mute evi dence of how the trapped miners fought for their lives, Many of the victims were so badly burned that they were unrecognizable. The mining experts, equipped with the latest safety helmets and other rescue devices, stated on their re turn to the surface that the discov ery of bodies at the foot of the shaft means that the 187 men in the mine perished. It i not believed that any of those in other parts of the work ings could have escaped the flames and deadly fumes that followed the explosion. The work of exploring the mine will be completed by thls afternoon. When the news that bodies had been discovered reached the loved onmes, there was a great rush toward the mouth of the shaft, but a strong cordon of deputies and speclal police men held back the crowd so that the work of the rescuers would not be hindered. . Mrs. Vincent Astor Signs Away Dower NEW YORK, May s.—According to the immemorial custom of the Astor family, it was said that Mrs. Vincent Astor renounced her dower rights in the vast Astor estate before her mar riage last week. This has been done for generations in lieu of- a settlement. The settlement is never very generous in proportion to the vast wealth of the family. It was rumored Vincent Astor followed an other custom of the family in executing his will on his nuptial day.
