A Peculiar Week III Social Matters
in The CaDitaI City.

-
in the Capital CITY.
The mast week has been full of pleasure
Int there are less events to chronicle than
usual. The week has been occupied by q
series of big affairs, and small social events
have giveu way to them. The week was
ushered in with the popular concerts at the
Fypostion rink on Monday, when the
lannon's Patrick Gilmore deafened and en-
chanted the populace by the music of his
monster brass band. The concerts were a
fine success, the audience in the evening
being the largest that ever convened St.
Paul, except that which gathered to hear
the Evangelist. Moody. The music was
we'll adapted to the popular demand, and
gave unqualified satisfaction. Gilmore
does not seem year older than he did
twenty years since at old Salem, when we
used to 90 down and beg him to go to Har-
ward college and play on commencement
day. HE'S just as enthusiastic and just as
crazy an IriShman, and he will never lose
his vigor and enthusiasm until he drops
from fatigue and a million good musicians
play or think a dirge in his memory.
On Wednesday afternoon occurred a
notable wedding at the House of Hope
church. when Miss Ada c. MOBILES was mar
red to Mr. Morton S. Barrows. The cere-
mony, which took place at $50, was per-
formed by Rev. William BarrowS of Bos-
ton, father of the groom, the Episcopal
stual being used. The pulpit platform and
the choir gallery were eXquiSitely decorated
with flowers, the designs being of the most
ornate description. The bridal party con-
sisted of Misses Ain Bigelow, Ain Fore
paugh Jessie Newson and Florence Will
Jams, a lovely bevy of maidenS all uni
formly coStumed in rich tOileltes of white.
The bride. stately and beautiful in white
satin with full train and bridal veil confined
by orange blossoms, was led to the altar by
her mother, Mrs. W. h. MOBILES, and the
procession was led by the ushers, Messrs.
j, S. How, DrS. C. B. Witherle and A.
McLaren, T. A Jaggard, W. A. Dresser,
II. B. Wenzel and j. P. Knowles. The
awaiting groom was supported by his
friend, Frank B. Keene of Milwaukee, who
acted as best man. Many ladies were pres
ent in elegant costumes, and after the cere-
mony reception was held at the Windsor,
where the relatives and intimate friends OF
the young couple met to extend cOngratula-
tons. One very pleasant feature of this
affair was the music at the church, Miss
Katie Gordon presiding at the instrument
and playing with taste and finish seldom
equaed. This talented young lady, who
eXcels both as an inStrumentaliSt and vocal
list. is equal to all occasions, and at this
the wedding of a friend she performed con
armore and produced an admirable effect at
the organ in an elaborate costume.

On Wednesday night the first great ball
of the season was given at the Merchants
hotel for the benefit of ST. Luke's hospital,
one of the most deserving charities in st.
Paul. This bali was very largely attended.
and probably at no previous event in the
city has there been so many elegant and
of the hotel was transferred
into dancing hall, and it
was rich with beautiful decora-
TONS SebertS orchestra supplied
music of the most superb character, and
the scene when the floor was filled with
graceful dancers was bewilderingly bril-
liant Having given on the day following
the ball an elaborate description, little
space is necessary now to remind the pub
lie of the grand event, suffice it to say that
a goodly SUM has been realized to aid the
the hospital and the mortgage on the prop
erty Will be materially diminished.
The ModjeSka season has been one of the
most brilliant ever known in the annals of
ST. Paurs history The audiences which
have attended were the cram of the refine
ment and culture of the city, and they have
evinced the most hattering admiration for
the beautiful actress. There is something
so sweetly womanly and delieiously be-
witching about Modjeska that it is
not matter for wonder that |
she enchants the hearts of her
auditors. The exquisite finish of her act
ing commands the admiration of lovers of |
fine acting, who recognize the perfection of |
art concealed by the perfection of natural |
ness. 1t is a matter for regret that the tai |
ented actress has decided to leave the stage. |
for to-day she has no peer in her branch of |
the art 1t is known that she reciprocates
the kindly feelings of this Western me- |
tropolis, and she does not hesitate to ac- |
knowledge that she counts among her best |
friends and most enthusiastic admirers the |
good people of ST. Paul.
