SCHUMACHER GOTHAM
A Notable Wedding and Profusion of
Gifts and Flowers.

l
Gifts and Flowers.
The eve of a national holiday, especial
| ly when the citizens of tais free and en-
lightened country were preparing to pour
out the choicest offerings OF the heart in
common thanksgiving, was happy hour
for the sacred and beautiful rites of q
wedding. Very joyful indeed, should be
| the bride whose hopes were crowned with
| the orange flowers and benediction on
such day, and joyful beyond measure
should beat the heart of the bride groom
Probably a more brilliant nuptial event
than the one which transpired yesterday
has never been recorded in the annals of
st. Rapi society: The occasion was the
| weddil3gtof Mr.. Theodore L. Schurmeier,
junior partner in the establishment of
Lindekes, Warner & Schumacher, and Miss
Caroline, the young and accomplished
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Gotzian.
They were united in marriage at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, cor
ner of Tenth and Canada streets,
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Nothing short of fgurativess speech or
the bay leaves of poetict diction could do
the appointments of the affair justice.
The arrangements we're on a scale of
sumptuous magnifcence and rarely have
appointments been seen more elegant or
brilliant.
The ceremony was performed by Bishop
Foss, of Minneapolis, the bride and groom
standing. beneath an exquisitely designed
floral umbrella of rare loneliness, and
which typically sheltered the happy pair
from the future storms and adve ssities of
life.
The bridesmaids were lovely, in sweet
girlish grace and maidenly simplicity and
they presented pretty and interesting
group. They were Miss Ida Schumacher,
Miss Helen and Miss Hattie Gotzian and
Miss Mamie Hill. The toilets of the bride
and bridesmaids were very elegant and
beautiful, combining all that good taste
ana lavish outlay could accomplish or
suggest.
An orchestra was stationed in the hall
way and the BRIDE and groom received the
congratulations of their friends until S:45
l
dal tour east where they will pass the hon.
| eymoon. The floral display was the most
extensive and beautiful eyer seen in St.
Paul, the parlors and reception rooms
being literally lined with flowers.
Many of the designs were elaborate and
several were sent from eastern cities. An
especially notable Offering was bank of
flowers several feet in height in the center
of which the monogram of the groom was
marked in carnations. Then there was a
full-rigged ship composed wholly of flow
ers and several other very elegant designs.
It would be impossible to give anything
like complete list of the presents. The
| ly that has been seen in st. Paul for years.
The offerings were all beautiful, but many
of them were unique in handiwork and of
| rare value. To attempt list
would be invidious, and only the
corporation gifts will be mentioned.
From the employees of Gotzian & Co. there
was solid silver service of eight pieces,
very beautiful and costly. From the part
| ners of the groom there was an elaborate
and very rich lined case containing full
sets of spoons. knives, forks and table cut
lery of solid silver. From the employees
of Indexes, Warner & Schurmeier there
was a superb and costly ebony
clock of odd and beautiful design.
From the brides father there was check
for $4,000 and from the BRIDES mother
an order for such piano as she might see
fit to select. The reception festivities
lasted until late hour last night.
