MASON E'OTJGLAS. Sag Harbor, L. July 5 A quiet home wedding took place tiere at 10:30 Monday morning, when Miss Grace May, daughter of Mr. Robert L. Douglas of Brooklyn, was married to Edward S.

of Newark, N. J. Only the Immediate family relatives and a few near friends of the bride, were present. The Rev. Clarence Hall Wilson, of tho Presbyterian Church, was the officiating clergyman, and he was assisted by the bride's grandfather, Chaplain J.

Bass of Brooklyn. Tbe bride was gowned in a handsome tan cloth traveling dress, and the newly married couple took the New England steamer for New London. From thence they will tour through Connecticut and will make their Country. To the Editor of tho Brooklyn Eagle: The hot weather brings to many a pleasant change of cooler regions and a season of rest and refreshment. To many more it brings but increased discomfort and suffering, without means to alleviate them.

Those who llvo in tho small, poorly ventilated, over heated rooms In tenement houses and who work all day in similar apartments dread the summer. None suffer more than young girls. For several years through the kindness of the Eagle and SGme ot its generous readers, money has been supplied by which the Woman's Auxiliary of the City Mission Society has been able to send to the country deserving young girls, who otherwise would enjoy no outing. What these weeks in the country have done for them no one can tell. In every case they have returned refreshed and strengthened bodily and mentally, and have been ablo to take up their work with renewed courage and hope.

The benefit has not come through the change of air and surroundings alone, but from the consciousness that somebody thought of and cared for them. Now, each missionary has ready her list of those who should have this summer outing. A few of the cases are these: A young girl of 16, the main support of helpless old father. She is pale and feeble, but works on almost hopelessly. Two weekn away would make a new girl of her.

A young girl of 18 with a hard hacking cough. She ought to go to Hie mountains of Sullivan or Essex Counties, but It would cost far more than we usually can spend on one. She must go somewhere. A girl of 15, who works in a bakerv from Church of Flatbush by the pastor, the Rov. H.

J. Gvdler. The ceremony took place at o'clock and was witnessed by about 150 guests. Miss Alberta Seaman was maid of honor and Alexander Fenton acted as best man. Mr.

and Mrs. Powers will reside at Westlleld, N. J. The Blanche in Trouble. The sloop yacht Blanche of the Varuna Boat Club was ln trouble last night In the Inlet connecting Sheepshead Bay with the ocean, but the crew of four men was safely landed jiiuuLiiH oi gteauuy uoepening disgrace for the United States.

"Is it out of compliment to Spain, whose office we have assumed, or is it because dirty business needs darkness, that In the Philip pines we havo throttled the press, censored the telegraph and the mailB? Even If with the Islandn that Spain did not possess we did buy her mendacity, whv did the government begin lying before It foamed how to do It weir? What excuse, ha.3 there been for the series of dispatches given out by tho War Department, each of which made the olhers look ridiculous? Pur. your ear to the ground and from every quarter you can hear a dis gusted people crylug out, 'How long. Lord how long!" "What have we at homo? It was humiliating; to see Abucr McKinley marketing to contractors his supposed influence with his brother's administration. It was Incredible had Alger not filled the plnce, that a secretary of War should have connived with beef contractors. It was pitiful that sons of some lodles should be intrusted with Important flutles.

while competent officers were denied promotion, and the flower of our youth died from the Incompetency of those thus boosted ahead, Those who still chose to revere tho President could, however, truthfully say that these Jobs wero of his yielding rather than his making, nut what is to be said of the late attack upon our civil service, to the reform dt whlch he was professedly so devoted? Had paresl6 thus far affected a once good man or in the orgy of the political debauch, to which his administration has been ever more wildly dancing, did he hear at last tho 'rag time music," and hasten to throw aside the last shred of decency? "But with characteristic unctuonsness we are told that In this business the President Is following duty and destiny. Destiny perhaps. Having put In ofTlce such an administration, national disgrace may well be predestined and nationnl disgust foreordained. "Duty! Was the call of duty so clear and bo imperative that while we were still treating with Spain we were called upon to challenge to war a people on the other side of the globe who asked only It. be nU free In the land of their fathers, which they had cleared of the Spanish? Was it duty to discard Dewey's report, and to refuse to treat for peace that we might more thoroughly maltreat those upon whom we bad forced war? Was it worth the tens of millions of money and the thousands of young liven that have already been spent? Would not free postal delivery at every farm house in our land, remission of tho new taxes on mortgage borrowers, better harbors for our commerce, better facilities for our public business in our great cities and the prosperous life here of those who have died, and the more that are yet to die in Luzon all of which would have cost far less in tho money spent have as well met the call of duty as does the present status in the Philippines?

McKinley certain that It really was the call to duty he heard? When Mr. and Mrs. John Sawyer, Mr. and Mrs. John Fanning, Howard Williams.
