CORDING TO TIE JEWISH RITE, WHEREBY
MISS HANNAH SYCLE AND MR.. ISAAC ICEYAN

man, a promising young merchant OF Spar
tanhurg, ;. {.
The performance Of the marriage cere-
mOny outside OF the synagogue Is not un.
usual in other countries, but Is rather the
rule. The selection OF Sanger Halle for the
/ festive occasion was therefore very happy,
since il precluded the usual crowd at such
marriages. and was amply large for the eX-
tended circle OF relations and friends who
were invited. There were no bridesmaids
or grOomsmen, but many Of The gentlemen
and ladies were in full dress.
The ceremony, according 10 the Jewish
rite, was performed very gracefully by Rev.
DR.. Harris, Of the Elevonth-Street Syna-
gogue.

O'Clock in the following order, with Kess-
nich's orchestra playing Mendelssobn's

small marble-top table, upon which was a
small decanter Of wine and two silver COB
| lets, was the minister, dressed in a simple
suit OF black brOadclOlb and white Kid
gloves. The reverend gentleman kept his
! hat on during the marriage, aS did also the
groom and gentlemen OF the bridal party,
which is in keeping with the ancient
custom OF having the head covered in
| the temple. The ceremony was all in
| English with the exception OF a few
PRAYERS and blessings and the words used
in giving the ring and the answers OF
the couple, which were said in Hebrew and
then translated into English. Mr.. Harris
first reminded the contracting parties that
the compact into which they were about to
enter was ordained by God. He then
offered prayer TO the Eternal God that He
might bless the pair before bun and COM
fort them in the TRIALS of life. He then adj
dressed first the groom and then the
bride. reminding them that they sol
|
cherish one another. He then raised one
Of the silver gobetS, he saying IN Hebrew,
and then in English, BLESSED art Thou,
Q, Eternal Father of all mankind, who has
ordained chastity and purity Of morals,
and enj0ned marriage as an inviOlably sa-
cred institution" tasted OF the wine, and
passed il first 10 the groom ana then TO the
bride, who likewise slipped. The ring was
then given with simple and appropriate
words. After which the reverend gentle
man raised the other goblet and said,
.'Bessed art Thou, o, Eternal God, who
hast created all things for Thy eternal
glory, and hast created man and given him
a hcpmate through life" He then tasted
the wine, and passed to the groom, who, in
turn, passed TO the bride. Then followed an
other PRAYER, and the ceremony was COM
pleted by Il blessing, which was offered in
eloquent terms by DR.. Harris.
The bride looked very pretty. attired in a
simple but stylish suit of geusdarne CASH
mere, trimmed with brOcaded silk, with hat
to match.
After the ceremony Kessnich's orchestra
played the Swedish Wedding March, and
the company, numbering in all about one
hundred, marched 10 the dining-hall, where
they were all seated TO a sumptucus ban
auet, which had been spread under the di-
rectiOn Of Mr.. ID. Columbus, Mr.. William
Zimmerman furnishing the wines.
The handsome spread Of subStantials and
CONNECTIONS were well discussed, and many
a toast and good wish for the future OF the
happy couple offered by the company.
| Dancing was then begun in the hail, ana
kept up until late hour.
The happy par left last evening on the
1915 train for tour through the South
prior to going to their future home at Spar
tanburg.
Besides the two brethren OF the groom,
Mr.. BENJAMIN Newman and son, OF the firm

smoothly, and was source OF great
pleasure to many. not to speak OF MI. ana
