lM-The wedding of G.. ID. Miner and
Miss Sue b. Sheldon last Tuesday, was
avery brilliant affair. The ceremony
took place at the Episcopal church at
ten O'Clock in the forenoon. The church
had been beautifully decorated with
| flowers by the young lady friends of
the bride under the tasteful direction of
Walter Williamson. The church was
filed with the many friends or the par
ties. DIR. W. ii. Kingsley, r. F. Chap
man, Chas. Remele and w. ii. Sheldon
acted as ushers. The marriage was
performed in the impressive Episcopal
form by Rev. J. 7. Franklin, assisted
by Rev. Vim. j. Boone, of Shanghai,
China. The venerable DR.. u. Bass,
grandfather of the bride, gave her
away. The doctor, by the way, pre-
sented quite an impressive appearance
through the contrast of his white hair
and beard and his black suit. He
seemed to renew his youth, and stepped
of if anything rather more sprightly
than the groom. Prof. IIiglev played
the organ, giving Mendelssolln's We'd
ding March on the entrance Of the we'd
ding party. Tho bride was dressed in
ashes of roses silk, demi-train, and bon
net to match, and looked beautiful as a
bride should do. After the ceremony
tho newly married pair returned TO the
residence of the brides mother on
Wcybridgc street, where they received
the congratulations of their friends,
standing under an elegant horseshoe OF
flowers made by Mrs. L. NJ. Fletcher.
Tho "happy pair" took the noon train for
New York, the college quartettc at
tending them at the station with sing
ing. AS the train started a dozen old
shoes were thrown after them for luck
The presents were numerous and valrl-
able, and made magnificent display.
