Had Dog Bone Annck to Lebtoon Suburb Attmckl Itmoj There is a doff ware in the distric east of Lebanon as far as Prescott and a wholesale slaughter of the animals is being made. It is believed that it will re lt in the killing of nearly every dog in the district. The trouble began Wednesday when a dog was seen running about Hebron, at- acking every animal it came across.

It rotbed at the moutn and its general appearance suggested a bad case of hydro- hobia. Thu animal left the euburb af- er biting a number of dogs and con- inned its flight eastward, attacking animals whenever it met any. At Prescott some citizen ended the animal's mad career by a load of ahot alter several does had been bitten. When it became known that the dog was mad the work of destroying the victims began and the discharge of guns was frequently beard.

A5 HEIRESS TO A LAHOE FOETUNE i The Parents Objected to Her BXarrtage With a Bank Clerk and Wonld Not At tend the Bride a Grand danghter of GoQTerneur Morris. jBoston.

was a wedding In Trinity church last night, notable not for a costly display of flowers 01 a brilliant retinue of bridesmaids, hu for the fact that Miss Alice Prescot Morris, the granddaughter of Lewis Gouverneur Morris of New York, daughter of the late Commodore Francis Mor rls. probable heiress to millions, was united in marriage to a Boston bank clerk in opposition to the wishes of relatives. Tbe bridegroom. Mr. Frank Stuart Bates Cheeseman, is an Englishman by birth and comes of a respectable family, though not a wealths' one.

The bride, so far as her money prospects go, may be one of the wealthiest women in the country some day. Her ancestors founded the magnificent estate at Morrisania. N. V. Another, Lewis Morris, was one of (he signers of the Declaration of Independence.

The first Gouverneur Morris was a cabinet officer and afterward ministertoFrance. The family was extremely wealthy, and the present Lewis Gouverneur Morris, now an old man, added to the wordly property of the family by marrying a Lorlllard. The bride was educated in a convent at Clinton. N. and has alsa studied Miss Gilmnn of Cambridge.

During the time wns in the convent all h-r lulls were paid by Fordham Morris of York, lier fathers only brother, but since her graduation has very little ready money, little In faet that durjig the last holiday season she worked one of the )ig department stores in Boston to get extra money. She lived for about a year in an upper room of a south end odging house in this city, but for the past three or four months has been llv- ng with Miss Cynthia Bates, who lias charge of a home for children in a suburban town. HOIT She Met Tonne; Cheeseman. About a year ago Miss Morris, with icr mother, visited her young brother, who is in St. Mark's school at South- boro.

Ycung Cheeseman was then living in that town, and by chance Miss Morris and her mother staid at the Cheeseman house during their visit. The love affair began then and terminated an engagement within a few months. Mrs. Morris, who is living in the Back Bay, opposed the match, and so did the other relatives, but it was of no avail. The mother, it Is said, brrjsy off one marriage engagement entered into by her daughter while the latter was in the convent.

Practically estranged from her people, the young girl found a friend In Miss Bates, and the course of ove ran on. Tt was planned to have he wedding take place in the insti- ution managed by Miss Bates, but the Rev. Dr. Donald, who had become In- erestcd. In the case, insisted that for he good name of" the Morris'family he ceremony must take place in church, and he brought this about.

Dr. Donald also wrote to Miss Morris' New York relatives' that the young man was of unimpeachable character. The Trinity church rector did all In his power to adjust the differences between he bride and her people. Dr. Donald thereupon performed the in Trinity church last night.

The bride was given away by Colonel W. Spaulding of this city. The maid if honor was Miss Helen Joy Morris of his city, not a relative of the bride. Mr. Howard Elliott Littlefleld was best an.

and the ushers were Messrs. Frank A. Davis. John Purchase Estey, Caleb 'omeroy Fox and Harry P. Pike.

A re- eption at the Brunswick hotel followed the ceremony. So far as known not a single relative the bride was present. Dr. Donald's nterest In the matter arises partly from he fact that the Morris family were berd of his church in New York. ROD, REEL AND LINE.

On the strength of the fresh air fund means to have 100 rays from July 1 to-15, and a second 100 rom the 15th to tbe end of June, and a number in July if the money can be secured. Their bppes seem well within the range of possibility when we find they are to take care of each bov for $2 80 for the period of two weeks The children are deported from tbe various mission churches in the crowded parts of New York city and as a rule each Christian community in Lebanon is aekf to take care of children of its own fold. It may surprise many people to know that tbe cathedral of the diocese of New York is a mission station ministering to the loorest population. So that it depends OmoEt entirely upon tbe generosity of. other parishes and it is the hope of St.

Luke's parish to provide a number as argeas possible of the little boys of tbe Cathedral mission with two weeks of the splendid air and ideal surroundings o'f Mt. Gretna park and the sum of $2 Sp will Eecura this great joy for one child. The rector of SL Luke's, the Bev. 1. M.
