lChicago Tribune. Aug. 9.
On Thursday evening last Martin B. Her
bert and Miss Kate E. Schmidt were united
in marriage at the home of the bridegroom
on Thirty seventh street, near Portland ave-
nue.. This bare announcement of facts
seems unimportant in itself, except, perhaps,
to those personally interested, and from it
the idea might be gained that this particular
union was attended with no more romance
than usually attaches to similar affairs. Such
an impression would, however. he erroneous;
and, lest anyone should think that the couple
alluded to proceeded in the usual matter-of-
fact manner, the facts which follow are
given:
Over one year ago Martin b. Herbert, a
well-to-do young painter, became acquainted
with Miss Kate E. Schmidt, the youngest
danghter of Kasper G. Schmidt, of the firm
of Schmidt 6 Gale, brewers, and proceeded
to fall desperately in love with the aforesaid
damsel, who was, it is said, very fair to look
upon. As very often happens in such cases,
the young mans ardor was by no means
dampened by his treatment at the hands of
inclination to fall as deeply into love as he
had done. In short, they were lovers, and
for the time knew of and cared for nothing
but each others society. After awhile the
IDEA of getting married forced itself upon
them, and the young man began to rehearse
little speech which he had composed by
which to gain the fathers consent and cap
ture the daughter. His success as an orator

his case, but whether from lack of eloquence
or not may never be known. The father
would not give his consent to the desired
union, and for time things looked bad.
The two hearts burned on in secret, but still
contrived to beat in unison as such hearts are
said to do. At last it was decided to wait
p .tiently, and if the father showed no signs
of relentlng to take the responsibility out of
his hands altogether by an elopemert. So
they guarded their secret we'll, and apparent
ly took the decisions of the stern parent
without murmuring or rebelling.
Just abont the time the father was con-
graduating himself upon having successfully
nipped this unpromising bud, and to settle
down to the conviction that it was only q
Irritation at best, and to think that the young
people we're getting bravely over it, he re-
ceived an invitation to attend wedding last
Thursday evening, the groom being son of
his partner in business, Mr.. Glade. Mr.. and
Mrs. Schmidt of course went. Their daugh-
ter was included in the invitation, but made
me excuse that excited no suspicion, and
she remained at home. Her father and
mother left the house in good season, little
dreaming that the same evening would Wit
ness two weddings in which they would be
somewhat interested. This was the oppor-
tunity the lovers had 80 long and patiently
waited for; during the day marriage certi-
fcate had been procured, and everything be-
ing in readiness, the necessary arrangements
were made, assisted by a few friends who
had been let into the plot. Carriages were
ordered, and the party left for the home Of
young Herbert, where the two were quickly
married and where they are now residing.
Everything worked satisfactorily, and within
two hours from the time Mr.. and Mrs.
Schmidt left home their daughter had be-
come Mrs. Martin B. Herbert. The only
trace left behind by the runaway was note
stating her object in leaving, but not saying
where she had gone. Mr.. Schmidt was en-.
gagged, yesterday, in looking after the couple,
but had not found them up to last night. II
is thought, now there is really no help for it.
that Mr.. Schmidt will look upon the matter
in the proper light, and confer.the custom
airy blessing.
