A Third Party “Fighting Joe” Martin, of late years in British Columbia, has been in Manitoba, his old hunting ground, during the past week, organizing a third political party. The liberals displeased him, and ha has no use for the Conservatives hen0e he wants a third party. Inasmuch as he really has been “figncing” Joe front his youth up, on the hustings, in Parlia­ ment in the Cabinet, in the court room, in the presence of the Judge and every possible place and occasion it is somewhat doubtful if this third party could ever consist of more than one, and that one himself, for any great length of time However, there would be a fine chance for that $7000 salary recently voted to the leader of the Opposition.

In front was a great bank of variegated asters. While the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march were beautifully rend­ ered by Miss Mamie Joynt, the bride entered leaning on the arm of her eld­ est brother, Mr. Robert Johnston. She wore a white silk dress trimmed with silk medallions with a yoke of silk embroidered ohiffon and carried a bouquet of white roses and ferns. The bride was attended by her sister Miss Jean Johnston, who was gowned in blue crepe de chene and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Little Miss Hazel Irwin, of Ripley, cousin of the bride was flower girl and looked charming in a white silk dress. The groom was ably assisted by his brother Mr Clark F. Logan, of Toronto.

With Mr. Mill­ yard as toast-master, toasts were pro­ posed and responded to in happy speeches by Messrs. C. F. Logan, Jno- Joynt, of Lucknow, Geo. Mooney, of The Ripley Express and the groom. The presents to the bride, some of which came from Goderich, Pt, Elgin, Winnipeg and British Columbia, were very many and were unusually valu­ able and useful. The groom’s gift to the bride was a gold watch and fob, to the groomsman, a gold stick pin set with a pearl, and to the flower girl, a twin opal ring. The bride’s gift to Miss Joynt was a Kuroki Rose Jar. The bride’s going away suit was a dark blue broadcloth with hat and gloves to match. Mr. and Mrs. Logan left for a trip to Toronto on the 2 p. m. train. They were escorted to the depot by all the guests, who gave them a most pronounced expression of their good will and wishes by showers of rice and flowers. They were met on the train at Parkdale by their many Toronto friends who enlivened their early honey-moon with songs and bushels of rice. At the home of the groom’s parents, Huron St., Tor­ onto, a reception was given at which a few intimate friends were present.
