ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY 3- IN AMERIGOS TKIVDliREDTIlKlIt PASTOR A VA- CATION. ID WHERE THE H01.COM BH-GI 1.1. WEDDING OCCURRED. Rut Ihp Faithful Prenchrr Hni.l He Ridn’t Wnul n Real Culetui the C.n- greRtitieu Did.' They Are Now Occupying the Elegant IKridnl Apnrtmente nt the Hotel Wlndaor, In Aniericua. The IlERAi.t> was the first paper to announce the marriage of Miss Douschka Holcombe to Mr. John P. Gill, but as no one in the city yester day kneyr the particulars, they could not be obtained. The bridal couple is now in Amori- cns, and they will probably return to DeWitt before going on a bridnl tour. The AtneriousTlmes-Recorder gives the followingaccount of the marriage: The elegant and exquisite suite of rooms at the Hotel Windsor known as the bridal nppnrtinents are now occu pied for the first time, and aside from the interest that the priority causes, there is n charming flavor of romance about the occupancy that nwakens in all a delightful curiosity. The happy couple, who for the pres ent holds sway in these lovely rooms, are Mr. and Mrs. J. Ponce de Leon Gill, registered from DeWitt, Gn., a village within a few miles of Albany. Until 8 o’oloek yesterday morning Mrs. Gill wns known nsMissDonschkn Holcombe. At that hour in the parlor of tlie residence of Dr. A. B. Campbell they were made one. Just before that time Mr. Gill, Miss Holcombe and Mr. DeWitt Bacon ar rived on the train from Albany. Mr. Bacon is a relative of Miss Holcombe. As Miss Holcombe, Mrs. Gill was one of the best known and most popu lar of tlie young ladies in Geor gia. Although quite young, she lms been a social favorite in At lanta and other cities in the State, claiming every acquaintance us an ardent admirer. She is a graduate of the Luoy Cobb Institute in Athens, Friends she lias on every side, and the *news of her marriage will bring to her a perfect flood of congratulations and heart-felt well-wishes. The singular name of the bride fixes her as being of noted ancestry Douschka P. Holcombe Is evidently the granddaughter of South Caro lina’s Intrepid secession wnr governor. Gov. Pickens had been American Min ister to Russia, and whilst there took a fancy to the lovely name of Douschka —“little darling”—and called tlie baby girl, presented to him about that time by Mrs. Pickens, Douschka. The heart of every one, especially every Caro linian, goes out in kind wishes and fond hopes for the happiness of the bride, whose name discloses her as the granddaughter of Carolina’s gallant and much beloved war governor, Pick ens. . lie Belonged In Ihe Clolqultl Kunnh, Ben Warren is Col. Kd L. Wight’s trusted ynrd man. Ben also belongs to Albany’s crack colored military company, the Col quftt Guards. When Col. Wight and his family re cently went away from home for a sea son, Ben Warren wns left in charge of the premises, and received positive in structions not to leave the place at night. The Colonel also left his big pistol with Ben, and told him thnt he didn’t want him to shoot anybody, but that if any burglars oame or he dis covered depredators on tl)e premises he might shoot off tlie big pistol to frighten them away. Ben strolled down town early one evening, and evidently carried the bfg pistol with him. Now it hnppened to be drill night for the Colquitt Guards, and Capt, Bird, discovering that Ben was down town, sent a man after him to have him attend the drill. Ben de murred, saying that he had to go home at once—that he had positive orders from Col. Wight not to leave his prem ises at night. Capt. Bird was not satisfied with tills excuse, seeing thnt Ben was down town already, and sent a file of men with guns and bayonets to bring him into the armory. Ben started toward home and was pursued by the soldiers with their guns. They overtook him and were pressing him rather hard when he had reached a point in the alley thnt runs between Flint and Pine streets. Then and there Ben evidently concluded that the time had come for him to shoot off his big pis tol. And he did shoot it off—not with the purpose or intent of shooting the pursuing soldiers, but in obedient compliance with Col. Wight’s instruc tions—only to “frighten ’em away.” The big pistol, used so strictly compliance with orders, worked all right. Anyway, the soldiers returned to tlieir armory, and Ben went home and resumed guard over Col. Wight’s premises. A city case was made against Ben for shooting off his bigpistol, and yes terday afternoon Ben pleaded guilty and was assessed $10 by Mayor Gil bert. Kind Word*. The Hkhald appreciates the follow ing from the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday: Mr. Fred Lewis is doing excellent work on the Albany Evening Hkrald. The paper has been wonderfully bright ened by his pen. He is an able assis tant to Editor McIntosh, and will make a name for himself in Georgia journal ism. The IIKRAI.D intended, but inadvert ently omitted, to mention the fact in yesterday’s paper thnt the congrega tion of the Presbyterian church of this oity voted a six weeks’ vacation to their pastor, Hev. W. W. Brinini, on last Sabbath. * The question as to whether the church should be dosed for the month of August had been mooted, and be fore voting on this the congregation oted to give Mr. Brimm a vacation— his salary to continue. The vote tendering tile vacation wns a unanimous one, and wns intended to leave the question of having thechurch closed entirely in the hands of Mr. Brimm. The faithful minister had previously announced, however, that he didn’t feel the need of a vacation, and that he would stay at homu and continue to preach through tlie month of August, unless the members of the congregation themselves wanted a vacation from the usual church ser vices. With this announcement he then submitted the question of having tlie church closed to a vote, and a large majority voted against dosing, thereby signifying (heir willingness to attend the services ns usual if the preaoher felt able and willing to continue his work without a vacation during a portion oft lie hented term. At tlie evening service Mr. Brimm took occasion to thank his congrega tion for the unanimous tender of a va cation that had been made him, but announced that he thought it best not to dispense with the usual services. SIOiUE NEEDED REFORM*. CONUNDRUM OF THE WORKSHOPS. 'he tendency of the day in political Is seems to be townrds the relief of certain economic clnsses of people and the mitigation of social evils. The labor question, the race problem and cotton problem seem to be absorb ing the attention of scientific econ omists in our country, and tlie field for work is decidedly a practical one. The great drawback in tlie accom plishment of any of these reforms lies in tlie stubborn tendencies of the clnsses, wliloli form the subject of these experiments and discussion. They incline to the extreme socialistic and communlstio Idens of government, and this inclination interferes with tlie efforts of conservatism to effect any solution of the problems con cerned. That these nro vexing questions every one will admit, and they must be settled by a conservative policy, in order to bring nbout the best results. Such a policy is offered by the Dem ocratic platform, which looks to tho mitigation of the evils of the day. Tlie power to elect is In tlie bunds of tlie people, and upon tlieir conserva tive and wise action in this matter will ultimately depend our eoonomlc success. CIIII.I AGAIN. Whoa tho flash of tv newborn sun fell first on Ellen's irreen anil ipilil.

"It's human, hut ls.lt Art?” Tho talo Is ns old ns tho Eden Troo—and new aa tho now out tooth— For each mnu knows oro his lip thatoh grows ho Is muster of Art and Truth; And each man hears as tho twilight nonrs, to tho beat of his dying hoart, Tho Dovll drum on tlio darkened pane, "You did it, but was k Art?” Wo bavo learned to whlttlo tbo Edou Troo to 1 tlio sliapo of a sttrpllco peg, Wo have learned to bottle our parents .twain In tbo yolk of an nddlutl ogg, Wu know that tho tall must wag tho dog, fin tho liorsu Is drawn by tho cart; Rut tho Dovll whoops, os ho whooped of old, “It's clover, hut is it Art?” When tho flicker of London sun rails faint on tho clubroom’s arc-on and gojsl, Tho sons of Adam Bit thorn down ami seraloh with their pous In tho mold— They scratch with their pons In the mold of tliotr gravus, and tho Ink and tho anguish start.

Six months ngo a pending wnr with the Chilian government was the talk of civilized nations; to-day it is but n record of tho past, a bit of forgotten history, so quickly do events trans pire and crowd one another out of place. According to agreement, Chill has paid $75,000 in gold to tlie United States government, as indemnity to those who were injured in the fracas, or the families of those two who were killed. Two sailors were killed, and the families of eaoh will get $20,000, while the seven soldiers who were in jured will get $5,000 eaoh. This will perhaps satisfy all differ ences, purchase forgiveness, heal wounded honor and compensate the soldiers for their maltreatment.

Tils Laugh on tlin Conductor and En joyed by All -tho l*ns.«nger.. There was a man and a boy aud a dog. The man was waiting for a car. So was tlie hoy. So was the dog. When the car came they all took tho rear platform and stood there. In a few minutes the conductor came out, collected two fares and tinkled the bell twice. He noticed the dog, and, turning to the man, said: “Dogs are against the rules.” The man wns deeply interested in the white film of smoke which coiled upward from the end of his cigar and did not hear, so the conductor touched him on tho elbow: “Dogs are not allowed to ride on street cars, I said.” “Did you, indeed? Ah! and do the dogs mind it very much, I wonder?” The two high school girls tittered and tlie boy sliot a wad of paper at a passing vehicle. Tlio conductor looked black and growled: “Please put that dog off, will you?” “Will I? Well, not if the court knows herself.” ■ “Well, I will, tlion,” nndhoslioved tho dog off tho platform, slammed the door and wont forward. Tlie man smiled, the hoy whistled, the dog jumped back again and tlio high school girls tittered a little more. In a few minutes tlie conductor came out again and ho looked ugly. “Now, look hero, my friend,” ho said, “I want you to understand that I want you to put off thnt dog aud keep him off.” “AH right; I understand.” “Well, do it then.” “Oh, no; not this evening.” Biff I Tlie dog yelped and landed half way across tho street. “Now, Mr. Mail, the next time 1 have to put that dog off this car I’ll fire you after him,” and ho went for ward and jerked tho hell rope. The man still watched the curling smoko, the hoy whistled again, tho dog jumped hack on the platform and the passengers smiled and nudged each other. At the next crossing tho conductor burst out on the platform with the snort of n war homo: “Bee here, smarty”— but just then the boy jumped off, called his dog and the two went trotting down the street. Tlie passengers roared, tho man knocked the ashes off his cigar with his Uttle finger and smiled, the con ductor glared at him for an instant, chewed up the rest of his sentence and jumped hack to his post growl ing, “Blast a fool anyhow.—Omaha Bee. New to tho Game. It was in the Astor House billiard room. A crowd was gathered about one of the tables on the Barclay street side, watching two experts playing cushion caroms. In tho crowd were a couple of men to the Boles of whoso heavy boots still clung some red mud. They were very much interested. As the two play ers banged at the cushions and counted point after point their eyes distended and presently their mouths too. They watched the play, then looked about at the other spectators to see how they were taking it. It was too much for them. Finally one leaned toward the other and said in a voice low and wondering: “Say, George, this beats me I Talk about luck I Say, did y'ever see any fellers miss the fust ball so many times and count?”—New York Re corder.

POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE, Reminiscences of tlio Cirrus Ring by * Septuagenarian Clown. I was for seven years tho head clown in Dan Rice’s circus, and al though I am seventy-nine years old ' can sit down and lay both of my heels on the back of my neck.” Then the speaker, Abram Teits- orth, proceeded to make his boast goal. He grasped his cowhide boot in one hand and slowly drew his foot up aud *->iver his head until the foot etiiKiiy rested on the baok of his neck. An officer, noticing the condition and the venerable appearance of the taU old man, whose hair is whito os snow and whoso long white board makes him look like a patriarch, con cluded to tako him down to tho po lice station for safe kooping during the night. Horo n reporter found the qneor old character. “I guess I’ve seen ’bout ns much of tho world ns tho average man ever sees in these days,” said the old gen tleman reflectively after ho hnd showed tlie reporter his acrobatic abilities. “I wns stolen from my home by Dan Rice's circus men and staid with him bovou years, and many a time have I run down tho spring board, taken a loap into tho air and turned (;hree or four somersaults over a dozen horses placed side by side. “Yes, 1 was stolen from my home,” continued the battered lodger. “One doy I was playing by the rondside nt my father's liouso in Murat own, N. Looking down tho road I saw, to my surprise, a tremendous string of wagons and horses and animals. 1 was wrestling with some of my playmates, and being remarkably strong I could toss thorn about like puppets. WoU, the circuB fellows noticed it, and ono of them got down off tho wagon, grabbed mo and took mo right along witli them. During thnt summer I noted as choreboy to Dan Rico. I got acquainted with all his horses mid in tho coming winter they put mo into training for tlie ring. I tell you, I could keep their clowns level when I went into tho ring tho following summer. Many timos in my boyhood days I used to back our old mare up against a stone wall and praotioe jumping on and off her bock. Wo clowns used to hunt for dear life for all tho odd stories and jokes going, so we could ‘guy’ tho hoys nnd girlB who always at tended the circus. It almost broke mo up trying to keep my stock of jokes and stories ready to use on the spur of the moment, 'twas bo hard to recollect them all. “For three years I rode in the ring Dan Rico's famous horse, ‘Philadel phia Flag.' It was the prettiest horae I ever saw, and so strong and ugly no one could handle him but myself. But I’ve ridden that horse in the ring and run him and licked him so hard he'd actuaUy squeal. I rode that horae three successive years, I en joyed circus life immensely. When I was not performing I used to get out a fine horse and go tearing around town to create some excitement, guess 'tis a good deal the same streak 1 :o raise a muss that the oowboy gets into. I used to ride along at break neck speed, standing on my head on the horse, then standing up on his bare back or letting him go slower aqd turn somersaults right up in the air, and come down and light on his back amid the yells of the delighted villagers. ' “Dan Rice wns one of tho most liberal men that ever was. When ever I wanted money I could go to Dan and say, ‘I want thirty or forty dollars,’ and with a voice like a trum pet old Dan would say, ‘You con have it, sir-r-r.’ You could hear him all over tho circus tent. I earned ♦100 a month, and at tho end of the month just as sure as I lived I’d be in debt. “We didn't have railroads and pal ace cars in thoso days.
