The Leader. PUBLISHED DAILY (Sunday Excepted) BY THE LEADER PUBLISHING COMPANY ALLENTOWN, PA. W. F. ROTH, Editor.

GEORGE R. ROTH, Proprietors PHILADELPHIA OFFICE. A. F. Smith, 717 Mutual Lite Building, 10th 410 Chestnut Streets Entered in the post office at Allentown as recoud-class mail matter.

Beil Phone No. 1616 Lehigh Phone No. 2108 Good evening! Good news--the oyster season opened today without an advance report of a "crop failure." Eph Wiley says most of his sympathy is extended to the man who has to ride horseback. The most satisfactroy guest is the one who indefinitely postpones his visit. The rule is that if a man has momey he will be sued for damages.

Mr. Lind should be particularly careful when departing from Mexico. The temptation to shoot people in the back is very strong there. Still, if Murphy couldn't have found anything else against Sulzer, he would have impeached him for wearing his hair the way he does. CIGARETTE ADVERTISING.

This time last year it seemed impossible to escape the cigarette hablt. All the magazines and dailies had full page advertisements, and even the weeklies were beginning to lend virgin soil at fifteen cents per inch provided ten inches single column next to reading matter was used 1 each issue. There was the cigarette guaranteed to sweeten cafe noir. There was a cigarette suggested to fatten a patient, and plump out silk stockings--either ladjes' 'or gents' model. And there was a cigarette to make the baidhead vegetate, the cigarette to make straight hair kinky, and thin short hair thick and long.

Oh, the cigarette was the stuff--especially if made in Bulgaria from the sweepings of Perkasie factories. And SO the manufacturers crowded us. They insisted, persisted, and forced. They added cork tips, gold bands and pocket art. And then -the Legislature up and put 'em on the bum.

Until at the present writing the bottom is out of the market never to be revived. While the jail doors are creaking for offenders against the News. Among other things about pride, George Fich writes the following: "Pride hits men in many different ways. Some are proud of their money, some of the children, some of their cattle and some just of themselves. When a man is very proud of himself it saves the rest of mankind a great deal of trouble.

It doesn't have to be proud of him. A great many people are very proud of their ancestors. It must be fine to be an ancestor and to know that in A few centuries your descendants will be so proud of you that they would die with shame if you were to come back to life and sit around in your shirtsleeves in their palatial summer cottage. A little pride is a very fine thing for a man. It puts reinforcements in his backbone and sand in his disposition.

When a man spends his life attempting to live up to what the thinks of himself he is likely to be a success. But when he thinks SO much of himself that it is entirely useless for him to start the task of diving up to it he will be a failure and the bill collectors will cluster around this door. Pride is all right when it stiffens the backbone, but when it stiffens the neck and causes the nose to curl up it is a great nuisance. A proud woman with a pair of eye es hitched to a stick and an absolute zero stare will never distribute much happiness about the world until she is utilized for an ice-making plant. Pride is more sensitive than any other portion of mankind, and when a person is wounded in his pride he suffers exquisite pain.

Those who do not keep up with pride wrapped up in thick layers of common sense lead sad lives and are always shrieking with agony and woe. If you have a pride, laught at it yourself. Then it won't hurt so much when the other fellow laughs at it." THE WAY YORK BOOSTS. The York, Chamber of Commerce is evidently a live wire institution. It has sent its secretary, Eugene F.

Weiser, on an 800 miles sign posting trip through the Eastern States in an effort to advertise York nd obtain more industries for that riving city. The trip is being made an appropriately decorated autobile and 1000 metal signs reading, "Locate your factory in York, Pa," are being tacked up along the highways traversed and in many of the cities visited. The scheme is a novel and enterprising one and worthy of better results than will probably accrue from it, says the Atlantic City Evening Union. At the same time there is no telling what indirect benefits will follow. No doubt the York Chamber of Commerce is also working along other and more direct and more practical lines in its efforts to obtain new industries.

This is precisely what all cities which wish to grow and expand should do. Cities in all parts of the country are obtaining new industries today simply by reaching out for them. Publicity campaigns are being conducted along practical lines by wide awake men and good results are attending their efforts. Detroit a few years ago engaged a man to devote all his time and energy towards bringing automobile factories there. Behold the result.

Detroit turns out more automobiles today than the rest of America combined. LOCAL GRAIN MARKET.

INSANE FROM GRIEF ENDS HER LIFE Mrs. Alice Setzer, widow of Edwin Setzer, of Bethlehem, yesterday morning jumped from the new Broad Street bridge into the Monocacy Creek, a distance of 125 feet and was drowned. The death of her husband a few months ago sort of drove her insane and it is believed this was the cause of her taking her life. The woman was crying all night and she arose from her bed in her night clothes and hurried to the bridge and ended her life. Her 12-year-old son heard her sob a great deal during the night, but had not heard her leave the house.

Her husband was in the express service and on May 14 he went to pick up a letter that a passing train had thrown out for him. Just as he was about to pick up the letter, a fast freight came along and struck him, killing him instantly. Mrs. Setzer is survived by two sons, Henry and Russell. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon and the remains will be interred in Nisky Hill Cemetery.

Dividend Certificates Advertise in the Daily Leader in BEAUTY AND CULTURE BOW TO HYMEN Spanish Author Weds Talented And Popular Allentonian. UNITED IN CHRISTS LUTH. CHURCH Ramon Peyser de Ayala, "the Dickens of Spain," and Miss Mabel D. Rick, An Accomplished Young Woman and Brilliant Vocalist United at Charming Morning Wedding. A marriage of more than unusual interest was consummated this morning at 10 o'clock in Christ Lutheran Church, Thirteenth and Hamilton Streets, when Miss Mabel D.

Rick, the charming and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. Rick, of No. 1633 Turner Street, became the bride of Ramon Peser de Ayala, of Madrid, Spain, an author recognized in native country as the "Dickens of Spain." The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

Charles M. Jacobs 1 in the presence of only the parents of the bride, Miss Minnie Jacoby, of Bethlehem, and District Attorney and Mrs. Lawrence H. Rupp. The bride wore a travelling gown of brown and the double ring service was used.

Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride after which Senor and Mrs. de Ayala left upon a honeymoon trip which includes Asbury Park, Atlantic City and Washington, D. C. Senor de Ayala was graduated from the University and although only 33 years of age has had the degree of Doctor of Laws conferred upon by that institution. He prepared for the law but has instead followed literature and authorship having written many books fiction, advocated modern educational laws for Spain in which he received the support of King Alphonso.

Belonging to the younger and modern element in Spain he has advocated reforms which brought him forward prominently in the service of his government. It was during the winter of 1912 that Senor de Ayala was sent to Italy upon a special mission for the Government of Spain to investigate the art treasures. While on this mission he met Miss Rick at Florence who was at that time studying vocal music under the celebrated Italian teacher Signor Braggiotti. Together they went skiing in Switzerland where Senor Ayala proposed to Miss Rick with the result that she accepted him. Miss Rick returned to America in July, 1912, and has been residing with her parents in Allentown.

Three weeks ago Senor de Ayala came to America and was met in New York by Miss Rick, accompanied by District Attorney and Mrs. Lawrence H. Rupp. During his stay in Allentown Senor de Ayala has taken in all of the points of interest in Lehigh County expressing himself as being highly delighted with all that he saw. Under the guidance of District Attorney Rupp he has studied the educational system of Pennsylvania and affairs connected with the State and City governments in all of which he has shown decided interest.

Miss Rick is a soprano singer of recognized ability having graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music after which she became the soprano soloist in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Bethlehem. She is a member of the Musical Club, of Allentown, which is composed of some of the best vocal and instrumental performers in this section. Two years ago she went to Florence, Italy, to finish her vocal studies but since her return has not followed her intended vocation. She has the best wishes of a large circle of friends who admire her not only for her high standing in the musical world but also for her admirable and charming traits of character. She was liberally remembered with large and beautiful array of weading gifts.

Upon their return from their honeymoon trip Senor and Senora de Alaya will sail for Madrid which will be their future home. TRADE UNIONISTS TO DEMAND MINIMUM WAGE Special to The Leader. Manchester, Sept. emphatic demand for general minimum wage legislation was expected to be made by the British Trade Union Congress, which met in annual session here today. The resolutions have been submitted by various constituent bodies suggesting amendments to the National Workingmen's Insurance Act, in order to correct some of the inequalities that have developed in the application of the measure since it went into effect on year ago.

The Shop Assistants (store clerks) union is urging the Shop Act be amended forthwith so as to reduce the hours of employment per week to sixty, and the Textile Workers have asked the Parliamentary committee of the Congress to prepare a bill reducing the woking week in that industry to fortyeight hours.
