A Wedding ut IT. AIphOnsus Yesterday
Retention and Sumner,


Yesterday was horrible day for a we'd
ding-mud and rain until one grew sick ut
heart contemplating the landscape. How.
ever, notwithstanding the inclemency both
under:oot and overhead, St. Alphonsus
Church yesterday afternoon was packed not
seat being vacant. The event that drew
such large Concourso OF people together
was the marriage OF Mr.. GCorgc W. Schick
TO Miss Emma l.. l'ikGmau, two OF our well
known young people.
Shortly after O'Clock there peryaded the
large HSsemblage that hustle Of expectacy
and excitement that always precedes the en-
trance OF bridal couple, which was im-
mediAtely followed by the entrance OF the
bridal party. Previous TO this McSSrs. Ed
Steger and Tom Ball, who acted in the cap
acity OF ishOres had nicely seated the nu-
merOus friends and relatives who were pres.
emit also the invited guests. The usherS now
marched up the aisle, followed by Master
Sammy and Miss Addie Robinson, two bright
little ones, who, in the most charming man
ner. scattered flowers before the bride and
groom. Following came the attendants Mr..
NJ. Bicdenbach and Miss Annie Gaus.
The impressive Catholic ceremony that
made the happy couple man and wife was
performed by Father Motley. The words
having been spoken that bound two loving
hearts together the bridal party was driven
to the home Of Mr.. SchiCE's mOtherANirs.
Mary Gaus, No. 1927 Market street, where
they remained until about $50 O'Clock, when
they repaired TO FrunEhCinfS Hall, where
supper was served and reception held by
Mr. and Mrs Schick.
Mr.. Schick is one Of our brightest aud most
pushing young business men. His bride,
Miss Emma Dikemau, is the daughter OF
Henry DiEGman, ESP, Of North Huron
street, Island. She looked lovely in white
silk dress cut Ia princess, with long court
train. The front Of the dress and train was
trimmed with white satin puilings and knife
pleatings edged with Spanish lace. The
and there was also laco ut the
throat; on her head were neat orange bios.
SONS and tasty bridal veil in her ears
CLEANED handsome diamonds the gift OF the
groom. Not to indnlgGiu the least iattery,
We must say that Mrs S. made one OF the
lOveleSt brides OF the season. Miss Glus, tue
bridesmaid, was dressed in handsome plum
cOlored silk and satin and looked very
pretty,
The guests were most cordially received by
the youthful couple, and soon about $50
people were comfortably seated at two long
tables, which were spread In Balzers best
style. This well known caterer surely did
himself proud Oh this occasion. The tablGs
were glittcring with bright silvcrware and
cut glass while the menu comprised all the
choice delicacies imaginable. For two hours
the time was pleasantly spent over the tables;
then the Andes band appeared and the rest
OF the evening was spent in dancing Con-
CALCULATIONS were showered on Mr.. and Mrs.
Schick Of the most sincere order, to which We
desire TO add ours, and wish them all happi.
ness imaginable.
