F TT7 jrcVRNTXfr OTiEGONIAK, FEIDAT, JTJXB 15, 1900. A WEDDING IN JUNE Nuptials of Governor Geerand Miss Trullinger. WAS A NOTABLE SOCIETY EVENT Simple Ceremony Toole Place at the Presbyterian Charch, of Astoria, at 4 Yesterday Afternoon. ASTORIA, Or.. June H. Governor T. T. Geer. Oregon's Chief Executive, and Miss Isabclle Trullinger, were married In As toria this afternoon, under circumstances as happy and surroundings as pleasant as could be desired. The -weather did not promise well, but resulted In a beautiful sunset as the bridal party started away on their special car, amid a shower of rice. The ceremony was performed at the First Presbyterian Church, by Rev. Henry Mar cotte. pastor of the church. It was the desire of Governor Geer and Miss Trullinger, as well as their families, that the ceremony and the incidents sur rounding it should be quiet and unassuming, but the prominence of the Governor and the social position of the bride hardly rendered such arrange ments possible. Astoria's wealth of flow ers was levied upon, and the church was a perfect bower of white roses, arranged by the hands of the bride's friends. The time set for the wedding was 4 o'clock this afternoon. The bridal party entered the church exactly at the hour designated, and six minutes later they were In a carriage, starting for the home of the bride's parents, where the reception took place. The ceremony Itself was a simple one, and only In the benediction could be noticed any deviation from that of a less important marriage. There was no wedding march. As the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, Mrs. J. T. Ross rang the first verse of Bohm's "Sflll as the Night." Dur ing the ceremony. Mrs. H. C. Thompson played "Oh, Promise Me" on the organ. As the Governor and Mrs. Geer left the church. Mrs. J. T. Ross sang the second verse of "Still as the Night." As the bride, on the arm of her father, J. C. Trullinger. reached the chancel she was met by Governor Geer, who was at tended by Grant Trullinger, a brother of the brtde. Preceding her were the little nephew and neice. Pope Trullinger and Teresa Mack, who acted as flower-bearer,?. The bride was attired In a tailor-made traveling gown of dark gray broadcloth, wiih a bat to match the suit. It was plain, but had a very handsome effect on the tall and stately woman. Her brides maid was Miss Downing, of Salem, who was dressed in pink chiffon, with a picture hat to match. The iwhcre were: Paul Badolett, Paul Trullinger, Arthur C. Callan and Jack Allen. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride's par ents, to which only the families of the bride and groom were Invited. Through the courtesy of Superintendent MoGulre, - of the Astoria & Columbia River Railway. a special car was attached to the even ing train for the exclusive use of the bridal couple. Their wedding trip will be ot about tw o weeks, and w ill extend to Puget Sound and British Columbia. A large crowd of friends of the newly married couple assembled at the station to see them off, and wish them the greatest of happiness In their married life. Rice and o'd shoes were in abundance, and the p'at form resembled the effect of a srow storm after the train pulled out with the Gov ernor and Mrs. Geer waving their hand kerchiefs. A number of the bridal party accompanied them as far as Goble, return ing on the night train. "The presents received by Mrs. Geer were numerous, and from many parts of the country, from her friends and from those of her husband, and represented wealth and artistic taste. They Included a large nmount of solid silver plate of all descrip tions, from a spoon to a tea set, and came from neighboring states, and from the East, as well as from Oregon. Mrs, Gear irecelv'ed many choice pieces of decorative art, painted by her artist friends, with whom she had worked. One artist of National fame. L. B. Bischoff, of New York.' sent as a gift a small piece that Mrs. Geer had painted and presented to him, and on it was painted his name, therebv adding hundreds of dollars to Its money value. $!000 FOR A LOST GRAVE. How It Was Obliterated in a Xljjlit on tbePlnlns. Denver Republican. There is $1000 reward waiting for who ever can find the body of a young man buried on the plains of Northeastern Wed County. 15 years ago. In a marble mauso leum near Chicago, there waits a niche for the bones of John Lilly, who died alone on the range In Colorado. In the vault are tho- bodies of his parents and of his two brothers, and when the bones of the young man are recovered the doors will be sealed, for he was the lart of h line. Tom MInnlnger. a Wyoming cow boy, who rode the range for many years in this state, was- in .-the city yesterday and told again the story of the lost grave. "It was 15 years ago last Augu't," he declared, after a process of reckoning, which Included all the big events of range life for many years. "This feller Lilly was the only living son of an old man In Chicago that owned most of the 'hash knife' cattle running at large en th range north of the Platte. The boy had been kind of delicate, so the old man sent him out with a letter to Jim Taylor, the foreman of the ranch, to let him rough It aw hlle. "The kid was a nice enough young fel ler, and the boys give him a good time all through the Summer. He got so's he conld Tide- a gentle horse pretty w ell ana then the beef round-up came along. We went up across Cow Creek, and down Owl Creek, and then we struck across ,by the Chalk Bluffs, where we met the Wyoming men and traded strays with toero. Then we swung south toward the Pawnee Buttes. planning to push right thtough to the river, gathering beef as we went, so as to have about 20 train loads to .hlp all at once, as the pound ups would be over, and the cowpunchrs could go on to Chicago, with the cattle in the cars. The first camp before we got to the Buttes was in the big flat where 'Wild Horse' Jerry's dugout used to be. It's a great big flat, hollowing a little to the center, and in the middle there's springs, and over beyond there's a lake. "The. cook was late hltchin up the gru'j wagon that morning, and the kid got started Just being told how to go to the next camp, .keeping the point of Big Paw nee straignt ahead untU he came to the flat. That was about 7 of the morning. Billy came driving hl six horses to the grub wagon across the prairie on a trot, for he had to be In camp and have some thing to eat ready by 11. and behind him came al" tho other wagons. They always let our Billy pick the way. because lie was an old campaigner. Along with the wag ons came the horse herd, eating and run ning, and eating and running, the wran gler favoring them along over good feed, because they'd have to have their bo-lies full when it came time to change mounts at noon and then came the dozen great ca vies of steers, ZOQ or 1000 in each, great wild Texans. fat as hogs and ready to run at the drop of the hat. brought along careful, so as not to lose a bit more beef on the road than could be helped. I tell son in tho! days a round-up left its m.irk when It passed over. On the edge of the flat Bl ly saw the kid down by the water, sltt'ng on the C round, kind of bent over, while his horse was graring 'round. Billy never thought but that he was sitting there resting, and he drove up, so's the lead team all bu run over him. but the kid never stirred. He was Jus t as dead as a stone. It wasn't no bullet, or a snake, but his heart Just naturally quit. "Well. Billy wrapped him in a blanket and went m and got dinner, and when 'Jim' Taylor come in, he thought a min ute, and then he told us to dig a grave, and wrap the body in three or four thick nesses of earn us we took an extra wagon top we had along and bury him. 'And see. said Jim. 'that you mark the grave well.' It was Tock along the ridge, so we dug the grave, about feur feet deep, up on the side of the slope, and we marked I with cn end of the end boards of the wagon sr "I It could be seen a mile. Jim started a nran off for the railroad with a te'egram for the old man. "It must have been after midnight when I looked out from my blankets and saw that cloud breaking up into small black clouds, full of lightning, and I wasn't more than out of my bed before the sky overhead was full of flying clouds and the wind began to rise.

By the time I got out to the herd they were moving, restless and uneasy, and lowing a little. The night herders .nald they hadn't got them to Ho down once. Then we heard the roar of rain coming, half an hour before It reached ur. It came In bucketfuls. and hall like bullets. The first gusts struck the steers, but they held all right, when we heard the crack-crack-crack of a six shooter down the wind. Something had started a bunch of cowg and calve. we were taking to their range south of the Platte. "They came snorting and bawling. Into the first bunch of steeps, and these came smash Into the next bunch, and In 10 min utes the whole push was mixed Into one big tangle of cattle, not running very fast, but moving so they couldn't be r'opped. There were men all through the bunch, keeping their hors's up. and trying to work out to the edge through tho thin srots. It was as dark as pitch, except when It lightened, and then you could see , other countries are concerned, but zo far it looked like miles and miles, all moving ' as the Constitution of this country Is con cattle. ' cerned. Is a foreign country, and that "There were three or four bunches of steers that wasn't caught In the rush, and part of the men at them heard the shout ing and came over to help. They struck the big moving square mile of cattle near the head, and swung them off a lit tle and the rest followed, and the rain let up a little, so they'd face it. and there they milled and milled for the rest of tho night. I never knw where I was till mornlnc I could hear the cattle on all sides of me, and feel things bump Into the pony, and once a horn scraped along by my knee. Light came slowly, for the rain had turned to a cold drizzle, but I found myself on the edge of the bunch and not half a mile from camp. Tho cattle h,ad been all around and through the w-gons. and there wasn't a bit of Prewood left.some of the boys' beds that had been left out had been torn to rags. We ate a breakfast of cold canned stuff, and started to move the whole bunch down about 10 miles to better grass, where we could break 'em up by brands again. "Just as we were starting Jim Taylor mm tn m nmi told mo to sro back nnd see that the maTk was on the grave. "I never found the board. Ten thousand cattle had tramped and tramped that hill all night. In the wet ground. There wasn't a trace of grass left. A thousand acrrs all looked as though It had been plowed and harrowed. I rave It up right there. Jim cussed when I told hrn and rode back, but when he saw the looks of things he gave It up. "We met the old man three days later. He fired Jim Taylor out of hand for not leaving the cattle, leaving everything, and bringing his boy to the station. Then he put another man in charge, and took all of us who had been at the burying back to look for the remains. But. Lord, there wasn't one of us that agreed on the place to within a 100 yards. It all looked alike where the cattle had been, but ve dug around there until Winter drove us out. The old man declared he was coming back In the Spring and keep up the hunt until he found the grave, but he never lived that long. I guess that boy was about all he lived for. anyhow. "The executors of his estate have been out here since looking for the grave, but It's not been found, and I don't think It ever will be. The reward, of $1C00 Is still good." the"BosV2n pub! c "schools' Vr"" aodl - I tlonal pupils. Provision must be made- annually In STATUS OF PORTO RICO A FOREIGX COUXTRY, AS REGARDS THE COXSTTTUTIOir.

Goelz & Co. vs. the United States, In which he declared the Treaty of Paris valid, and that the status of the people .of Porto Rico is that of Inhabitants of a foreign country, as re gards the Constitution of the United States and within the meaning of the tariff acts. Judse Townsand held that Porto Rico Is part of the United States so far as the United Slates can govern It without subjecting It to the burden of National taxation, and that the status of the In habitants will remain unchanged until Oongrej iia!l determine it.

' NEED FOR DOMESTIC SCIENCE The Public Schools Shoald Teach It to the Girls. CORVALLIS. Or.. Juno 11 (To the Edi tor.) The public school as a creation of tie state has always man'fested a deep Interest In the Intel cctual advancement of the child. To make an "Intelligent be ing yet more intelligent" has been her sole aim. Impelled by this determination, hands that wero orlglnllly stretched out Ughtly and firmly In mental blessing have DC-come leaaen under the accumulating wclgnt of school curricula. In her desire to "Hellenlze" (may the shades of the Greeks forgive us), she has caught at the bare value of knowing, and emphasized that, while the beautiful spirit, the grace ful draperies of thought that should clothe her naked limbs, are far enough away as yet. over the sea. Nor can she at this late hour, though fleets and galleys were at her command, recover her lost estate, for a new spirit, the Roman one. Is at our doors; a spirit which looks for the accomplishment of visual results, which demands the app 1 cation of ideas to every day, material life. It has found its way into literature. Our magazines and pa pers are expressing well-formulated Ideas on the subject of teaching domestic science In our public schools. It has already passed tho experimental stage in the Eastern schools. Here arc somo thoughts on the subject which have lately fallen under my eye "The housekeeper of the future, as well as tho trained domestic worker, must be educated at school." "Without the home there Is no real nation. The spirit which Is born In and emanates from the happy home is the spirit of national life. To i save itself, then, the state must make , Je "hool tend to -ake. or try to fit i I3 Eaen ano- wom-n students for this, i'k-J . t.v ....., ...- .. t.- V Y J .' 6''-il"-'"'.i fliH ' J bsbSr2ssm t - v A E'' HisH thflr main business In life? Is not some specific training needed in home-making? "l!i not a know.cdge of domestic science." says Superintendent Boyden, of Taunton, M&ss., "as necessary to the home-maker as Latin, botany, astronomy and very Bttle French? Love Is a great thing, but then; are some things that even love cannot endure. Burned meat, soggy po tatoes, heavy bread, cracked crockery, soled table napery and dirty surround ings have destroyed more homes than all j other agencies combined. A Juicy steak I dono to a turn is better than the synop- i sis of a Greek verb, and mealy potatoes I ars more potent than the binomial theo- t rem as a home-maker. The knowledge that will produce proper food we 1 cooked and daintily served, in a neat home. Is a greater bulwark of safety to a? nation than the largest standing army it can support." "The great majority of girls In our cities and larger towns enter into tho factory, store or office, as soon as school duties aro over, and there they remain until some one asks them to assume the more responsible duties of wife and mother. What preparation has the ordinary school given them for these new duties? The school has been negligent. What oppor- tunlties have they had outside of school In their own home? None. Their school work necessitates their absence from home rave for fcod and shelter, and has left them no time and little desire for augjit else: even If they have the desire, their mother too often Is Incompetent to assist them, having grown up under like con ditions. The possession of such knowl edge on the part of the embryonic house wife that there shall be to her Judicious work necessitates their absence from home buying of meats and vegetables, proper cooking of the same, with further knowl edge of housekeeping, such as shall make the home a safe haven of life, this certainly Is as Important for her as the knowledge of many things taught, even though they be dead languages and the higher mathematics. Since the object of all endeavor Is to get wealth, as an economic quest'on can we afford to allow tho thousands growing up to parallel In their housekeeping "the wasto of small coal Jn the mining regions and tho wholesale destruction of forests In tho garbage pall"? In the husbanding of time and strength which Is now spent In passing to and fro 10 times In the ac complishment of work where once would serve, as applted mechanics It has not been tho province of the schools to teach; but I believe the time Is not far away, even in the Oregon public schools, when tho household and Its management will be ono of the most Important factors In Its educational system, as it Is now the most vital In National prosperity.

A SAN Opiates "Will Affect Handreds of Cal ifornia Couples Who "Were Wedded la Nevada. SAN FRANCISCO. June H. Judge, Bel cher today filed an Important opinion. In which he holds that marriages of divorced persons in this state within 42 months after the decree of divorce has been made are invalid, and that in the ejes of the law such persons are unmarried persons. The opinion was in a suit brought hr Mr. Abble Bo Wood to reccver $10, 000 from the estate of her late husband, Joseph M. Wood, on a contract executed December 30, 1S97, before the couple were married. Wood was a well-known and wealthy attorney, and on the date stated he signed a contract to pay Mrs. Smith, a divorced woman, $10,000 as a marriage dowry. After the contract wa3 made the couple went to Nevada and were married, January 1, 1S9S. within less than one year from the date of Mrs. Smith's divorce. The couple re turned to this cHy. where, June 15, 1S98. Wood died, leaving property worth $200, 000 and several children by a former wife. Although Mrs. Wood was well provided for In the will, she held the ante-nupttal contract to the executors for the estate and demanded an additional $10,000 from the estate. This being refused, suit was brought to recover. The Question of the validity of the ante nuptial contract signed by Mr. Wood was considered. The court held that at the time it was signed Mrs. Smith-Wood pos sessed no legal capacity to marry any person save her divorced husband, and the contract, therefore, was against the law, and cannot be enforced. In the trial of the case the validity qt the marriage under the provisions of the civil code was questioned, as the second marriage was entered Into by the plaintiff within five months after her divorce was granted, al though the law specifically provides that one year shall elapse after divorce before another marriage can be consummated, unless the divorcees themselves wish to remarry. In his decision Judge Belcher holds that marriage between such parties Is clearly Illegal, and rendered Judgment, with costs. In favor of defendants. The opinion will be a blow to hundreds j of California couples who have married at Reno, New. within the past two years, under the belief that a marriage outside of this state nullified the law, inasmuch as the marriage ceremony was not per formed within the Jurisdiction of the courts of California. "Cupid" Danforth, the marriage license clerk of this city, stated today that he had refused licenses to over 600 divorced people within the past two j ears, and of that number 500 were married In Nevada. In order to evade the law of this state. Over 1300 California couples havo been married at Reno since the enactment of the law. How many were married at Virginia City and other towns in that state is unknown, but the number is considerable. In tho language of Judge Belcher, "all of those couples who now suppose themselves married are holding meretricious relations toward each other." "We Arc All Poets. Chicago Tribune. Gerald Stanley Lee. . who recently ex pressed such optimistic views of Journal Ism In the Atlantic Monthly, has given ex pression to equally generous thoughts upon poetry In an article entitled "The Poetry of o. Machine Age," in the June number of that magazine. According to Mr. Lee's liberal definition, a poet is one who loves his work, and So lonj as the thin? a man works -with Is a part of an Inner Ideal to him. so long as he makes the thing he works with express that Ideal. th hat and the Blow, and the luster, and the beautr. and the unconquerableness xt that man and of that man's dcllsht shall be upon all that he does. It shall sing to hearen. It shall sing to all on earth who overhear hea en. Brakemen, though seemingly prosaic men. love a railway as Shakespeare loved a sonnet, says Mr. Lee, and if there ever was a poet the engineer is one. The feeling that the latter has for his machine is made up of pafsion and devotion, and poetry and such sentiments ought to put the mechanical arts on a level with the fine arts- Mr. Lee says: I onlr know that so long as the fine arts. In an age like this, look dewn on the mechanical arts, there shall be no flne arts. I only know that so long as ths church worships the labor er's' God, trot does noc reverence labor, there shall be no religion In It for men today, and non for women and children tomorrow. I only know that so long as there Is no poet amongst us who can put himself Into a world, as this man. my brother, the engineer. Is- putting hlm- I self into his engine, ths engine shall remote mountains and the word of tho pot shall not; It shall be buried beneath tho -mountains. This is something of the same thought that William Morris expretaed In. his "Hopes and Fears for Art." and it has a. true and inspiring ring to it. But Mr. Lee -say that while poetry la the dlscov ery of new connections, science Is the grudging acknowledgment of them, which Is a grudging acknowledgment on the part of Mr. Lee of the power of science. What would h!s engineer have been without the assistance of science, and would there, have been any engines without science? We may all be poets In Mr. Lee's sense, because of the love of our work, but wo are scientists, too, because all work ia founded upon scientific principles. BROKEN TALK AT TABLE. Said to Be a.
