A WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE-THE MASONIC
REUNION AND BANQUET.


Through the courtesy and kind con
sideration of some friendly unknown, /
was compiimented with an invitation to
represent at the wedding ceremony of
Mr.. John L. Myrick and Miss Jodie John,
son, at st. David's church, "Wednesday
evening, at half past eight o'clock. In
appreciation, not less Of the courtesy to
stranger than of the opportunity to see
and enjoy this howery phase of Austin
high life, gladly availed myself of the
invitation; and the better to improve the
opportunity, repaired early to the church.
1t was brilliantly illuminated, and
already nearly half the seats were occu.
pied, such was the interest of the numer.
GUS friends of the expeotant bride and
groom. 80. A -.
A perfect stiffness prevailed in the
church, broken only by vocal glanccs and
gentle whlspermgs in bated breath. With
every fitting moment other frienos were
ushered in, and when the hour for the
ceremony arrived the church, one of the
largest and prctticst in the State, was
comfortably full and better looking or
more pleasing assembly, in bearing and
appearance, one could not wish to see.
7he moment arriving, the organ peals
forth in solemn, yet swsetly impressive
strains-no chant, no song, not even
"Come .ye disconsolate," that l once
heard on similar occasion, but the grand
old organ alone, under master touch
and, preceded by the grooms and maids,
namely, Mr.. s. t. Mitchell and Miss Mol
lie johnson, Ga sister to the bride) Mr. =.
Mabry and Miss Pauline Johns, Mr. S. T.
Scott and Miss Carrie Haynie, the bride
groom, his handsome face beaming with
AUST pride, approached the altar for the
nuptial tie, his fair young bride the cyno-
sure of every eye.
The cerem ony, how simple, yet how
beautiful and impressivel That finished
with the familiar words, q brief benedics
tion was pronounced upon the "man and
wife" kneeling; and reversing the order
of approach, the bridegroom, in excel
lent taste, saving his bride the trying Or
deal of kisses and congratulations in that
presence, led the way from the altar; and
vision of beauty and lovliness, better inns
agined than inadequately portrayed, the
bridal party gracefully retired from the
church.
This over, at-0 o'clock accepted (ac-

GRAND MASONIC REUNION AND FESTIVAL
then going on at the Raymond House.
At this time, as all must know from the
general interest felt in public affairs,
there are great many visitors in the
city, including many prominent gentle
men from various portions of this State
and also from other States, with their
daughters and wives. The Reunion was
composed chiefly Of those classes having
reference, of course, to connection with
the order of Free and Accepted Masons
The assembly was large and brilliant, in
Gluding as it did many ladies Of great
beauty and not few men OF both State
and National reputation. Soon after the
invited had assembled in the parlors and
enjoyed the pleasure Of q general intro
duction and pleasant chit,chat, the assem-

The Duty on Imported Still Wines.

The Committee of the Wine-grow-
ers meeting at Sacramento to which
Mr.. Newmark's communication was
referred, have as will be seen by the
report of proceedings printed in this
issue, reported favorably, recommend
ing that our delegation in Congress be
communicated with on the subject
and instructing the Secretary to notify
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce of their Endorsement of the pa
per. Since the publication of the
paper, advices from Washington have
been received to the effect that "the
Committee of Ways and Means have
instructed Mr.. Wood to report a bill
fixing the rate of duty on imported
still wines at fifty cents per gallon and
So per case, in lieu of the present mode
of collecting the duty ad valorem.
The objections of the Wine-growers to
the law as it stood were not only that
the tariff is low, and being ad valorem,
that wines were invoiced at low
price, and thus brought in by paying
nominal duty, but that under the
regulations allowing wines containing
twenty-five per cent. of alcohol to be
thus imported, brandy distillers take
advantage of the act and import wines
for distilling. A tax of fifty cents per
gallon instead of ten, as asked by the
distillers, will be more equitable; but
to be altogether fair the per centage
of alcohol in wines imported under the
act should not be greater than ten or
twelve per cent, the strength of ordi-
nary table wine. This would put
stop to the evasion of the tariff by
importing wines for distillation, and
would also greatly encourage an in
dustry which under the present reve-
nue. laws is in q languishing condi-
ton
