WEDDING CHIMES.

Consists In the well choosing of his wife. I"
As last Sunday evenings sun was sinking
from sight In bank of clouds, whose rosate
hue impaired their reflected glory on valley
and town, the goodly company gathered in
the halls and parlors Of the house Of Mr..
and Mrs. A. KATE, made way for vision Of
the bridal veil. Miss Julia Lewiston. Of
Philadelphia, was being led to the alter by
Robert Jacks, one Of Wichita's first and
most substantial merchants. The bride as
she stood crowned with orange blossoms
seemed as beautiful as Rebecca in Ivanhoe.
The classical ceremoney was conducted by
Rabbi Eppstein, Of Kansas City. and was
the same that has SO firmly bound in sacred
ties the men and women of that wonderful
race for three thousand years and more, the
same as that ut Canaan In Gallilee, when
Christ turned water into wine, ceremony
whose siken cords and golden links seem, in
their constancy, TO defy divorce courts and
degenerating influences OF all modern times.
The ceremony was indeed beautiful, and
the lecture of the Rabbi very impressive,
Astounding i'm truths The broken wine
glass commeratiye of the destruction Of the
Temple at Jerusalem, and symbolizing the
sad truth that no joy Of life can be perfect,
the placing OF the bridal ring and the prayer
that followed were all pleasing and excel
lent. The deed Of endowment to the wife
was splendidly illuminated by MIR. c. p.
Lewis, the artist cousin Of Col. H.W Lewis,
the work consisting Of a sea surrounded by
mountains and foliage, which sea bore
pretty barque, containing a man and wo-
man, and waited by prosperous brcezes.
Many congratulatory kilograms from Phila-
dclphia, Cincinnati, st. Louis and Topeka
were read.
or the supper which followed no discrip-
ton will be attempted, suffice it to say, that
the whole affair was complete without q
single disagreeable incident to mar the
pleasures Of the guests. The happily united
| pair left on the next mornings train for St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Quincy. They will
