The Cathedral Of Santa vibiana yes
,erday morning was crowded by large
and select congregation, drawn thither
ny the whispered intimaiion that one Of
,ur most popular young lawyers, and
one of the most promising citizens oil
Southern California as well, in the per.
son of District Attorney Stephen NJ.
White, was to be united to Mis- Hor-
tense Sacriste, a young lady whose mani
fold accomplishments and social aud
Christian graces are quite balanced by
her rare personal loneliness. A little
warmth of expression will be pardoned
in ohronicling the union of this admira-
bic and popular couple. To the strains
Of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, about
$50 A. NJ, the nuptial procession, headed
by Mr.. Edward White, q brother Of the
groom, who acted as his best man, with
Miss Kate Crimmins on his arm; the
groom, escorting the brides mother;
DR.. Gelcich, with the bride. whom he
gave away, and several members of the
respective families, entered the Cathe-
dral and arranged themselves in front Of
the chapcel. The bride was ettired in
an exquisite toilet, whose distinguishing
hues were blending Of pink and purple.
For years one Of the recognized bellies of
Southern California, we can best de-
scribe her when we say that she is an
almost exact counterpart, as to face, of
the Empress Eugene, and possesses
much Of the unrivaled loneliness OF that
eminent lady. Father Adam prefaced
the interesting ceremony by an impress
sive discourse upon the sacredness Of
the marriage relation. The ceremony
followed rapidly; and. in a trice. our
popular District Attorney was Bene-
dick GA fate which those who know the
beauty and sterling virtues of the
bride will envy him. Then followed the
nupiial mass.
After the ritual at the church, there
was q breakfast and reception at Mrs.
Wilson's, on Spring street, where the
bride resides, which was attended by
the elite Of Los Angeles. The event was
an exceptionally pleasant one. and was

tations, but by substantial testimonials
