Tom Thumb Wedding.
The Tom Thumb wedding at the
opera house Friday evening was
unquestionably one of the prettiest
juvenile entertainments that has
ever been given in town and the
performance well deseryed the large
audience present. The actors in
this wedding were children ranging
in age from four to eight years, the
girls wearing gowns entrain and
the buys evening dress, the whole
presenting a very pretty appear
ance. Grace Casey appeared as
MUh Lavina Warren Uie bride, and
Clarence Hlickcu&dcrfcr as Tom
Thumb, the groom. The wedding
was a representative one in every
sense, having a maid ol honor, a
best man, two flower children, six
bridesmaids and two unhercrs. The
children assembled in the rear of
the hall and proceeded to the stage
in the correct formality ol wedding
party. Millcdge Davis, as Bishop
Van Rensellcr, officiated.
Follow in0 t'.ie ceicmouy a sol
diers' diiil and a sailors' drill were
executed by young boys, Irma Clin
ton sang and GetaUline Bare gave
a recitation. Mrs. Prank Bacon
and her assistants arc entitled to
much credit for the very smooth
manner in which every detail of the
entertainment was carried out. The
net receipts of the evening were
about sixty dollars.

Railway Miscellany,
month 128 engine's were
turned out of the Baldwin works,
more than two-thirds of which were
freights of the most modern type.
It is expected that the output this

It is reported that President
Ilarriman, of the Southern Pacific,

The Union Pacific district ma
chinists, through their executive
committee, have decided thata nine
hour day is essential for Saturdays,
with only eight hours work, but
pay for nine hours. The wage scale
as hxed ly the committee is as
follows: Omaha 34 cents per hour,
Denver 34 cents, Grand Island 34
cents, Kansas City 34 cents, North
Platte 38 cents, Cheyenne 40 cents,
Green River 40 cents, Rawlins 40
cents and 15vanstou 35 cents.
The big locomotives in use by the
Jersey Central to draw its heavy
trains have mammoth boilers,
which so encroach on the space
usually occupied by the engineer'
cab that it ia probable only men of
the ordinary size will be employed
oy tlie road as engineers in the fu
ture. A forcible illustration that
the big engineer is a bad misfit for
some of the new type engines was
brought to light when one engineer
of generous proportions ol girth
was ordered to take one of them out
in an emergency. The engineer
made several desperate attempts to
squeeze through the cab door but
at the end of the struggle he still
was on the outside, and there he
remained.
