THEIR WEDDING AND PRESENTATION
TO THE QUEEN.
OF these events the gentleman and
lady gave very interesting account.
The wedding took place on June II,
at St. Martins Church. Trafalgar
Square, London. As bridal tour
they visited the "Stal and Garter

and it was as long as my arm, every

an order from the Queen awaiting
them, requiring them to present them
selves at Buckingham Palace at one
o'colck on the 2lst. That had pre-
viously appeared before he Prince of
Wales and the mem bers of the Maso-
mic Lodge, of which he is member,
and it is probable that he has aroused
his mothers curiosity by his descrip-
tion of them.
At the appointed time they were
graciously received, there being pre-
sent the Princesses Louise and Beatrice
and Prince Arthur and Leopold, be-
sides lords and ladies. The Queen was

CLERGYMEN AND PUBLIC SPEAK
ERs.-There is no doubt that clergy

their handkerchiefs with Dr.. Price 3

the mind to vigorous action and is
gratefully refreshing. For fresh, flow

''The purpose is not concealed to keen
