REALLY ROMANTIC.

On Thursday evening last Martin b. Her
bert and Miss Kate E. Schmidt were united
in marriage at the home of the brldee room
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 at ended 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-otS
fact manner, the facts which follow are
given:
Over one year ago Martin B. Herbert,
well-to-do young painter, became acquainted
with Miss Kate E. Schmidt, the youngest
daughter of Kasper G. Schmidt, of the firm
of Schmidt & 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
his ideal, who, in time, manifested q strong
inclination to fall as deeply into love as he
had done. In short, they were lovers, al d
for the time knew of and cared for nothing
but each others society. After awhile the
IDEA of getting married forced itself upon
the m, 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
was not, however, great; at least he failed in
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 q time things looked bad.
| The two hearts burned on in secret, but still
1 2Nh has VIC ord
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 elOpeme t. So
they guarded their secret well, and apparent
ly took the decisions of the stern parent
without murmuring or rebellIng.
| Just about the time the father was con-
graduating himself upon having succe ssfIlly
nipped this unpromising bud, and to settle
down to the convection that it was only
| Irritation at best, and to think that the young
people were getting bravely over it, he re-
ceived an invitation to attic nd a 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
8 me excuse that excited no suspicion, aid
she remained at home. Her father and
mother left the house in good season, litthS
dreaming that the same evening would wit
ness two weddings in which they would be
someW hat interests d. This was the oppor-
tunity the lovers had so long and patiently
waited for; during the day marriage certi
ficate had been procured, and everything be-
ing in readiness, the necessary arrangements
were made, assisted by a few friends who
had been let il to 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,
