"old Virginia" the mother Of States
has given prominence to many Of hel
daughters and now a grandson Of thu
"old Dominion" comes, and at the ALTA
of Hymen acknowledges that one Of Ken
tucky's noblest daughters has wonhiS heart
and hand.
The book which We reverence above all
others teaches that man shall leave all
others and cling to his wife, This quota
ton Is but a very paradox in the wedding
ceremony which We now chronicle. Leav.
Ing all others for the sake Of the love Of a
pure, fair wsman, Is no sacrifice, and Mr..
Tidball, with that solemn earnestness
which unites man and woman, pronounc.
ed Alice Bruce and Albert Harden man
wife. We believe the angels In heaven,
looking through the murky space OF a
world OF sin, rejoiced at the coming of the
bride, who combined beauty with that
suayity Of nature which has secured for
her the admiration and esteem Of count
less hundreds.
Miss Alice Bruce is the daughter OF our
esteemed iellow.citizen VIM. Wallace
Bruce. She has, by the exercise OF the
kindliest Christian charities, .endeared
herself to many whose life under the
brightest skies are but the reflection OF an
angry cloud.
Mr.. Albert Harden, the groom, Is well
known and influential iron merchant Of
Wheeling, West Virginia. Hell wealthy,
and dispenses Of this worlds goods with
a spirit compatible with that OF the noble
woman he has married.
The streets In the vicinity OF Mr.. Bruce's
residence were filled with carriages con-
Veying fair occupants to the ceremony.
Promptly at twenty minutes past twelve
O'Clock Wolf 4 Trost's band com.
menced the grand wedding march and
the bridesmaids entered the parlor. The
groomsmen were dispensed with while the
following ladies acted TO perfection the
parts Of maids OF honor:

Harden, Of Wheeling, West Virginia:
Miss Alice Butler, Of Cincinnati; Miss
Kate Greenliei, Of Lexington; Miss Char
lotte Bruce, Of Lexington; Miss Annie
Bishop, daughter OF R. NJ. Bishop, Of Ohio.
During the progress OF the ceremony the
band rendered, with soft and sweet en-
phasis, that beautiful production, Sweet
Spirit, Hear My Prayer" and when the
words, pronouncing the pair man and
wife, were said, they left for bridal tour,
the departure being heralded BY the old
historic practice Of casting slipper after
them.
Mrs. Ten Brock Saunders, the eldest
daughter, received the guests, and right
queenly did she do the honors of the
Bruce mansion.
The repast was set, under the supervis.
ion OF Solger, Of Louisville, and was in
every way compatible with the reputation
that gentleman has gained as popular
caterer.
