A BRIDAL FREAK.
How a Baltimore Bride and Groom Had
Their Pictures Taken.
baltimore Americana

The sight of blu hing bride, in full
bridal costume, sitting in an open buggy
on Baltimore street. met the eyes of all
paSsers-5y yesterday afternoon. The
bride, who loo!xel oil enough to know
be:ter-wore wre lth OF orange bloss pms
ard smilax and veil, while her hands were
incased in white kid gloves aud her feet IN
white kid shoes. At her bosom she wore
a large bunch OF orange blossoms. The
white contrastei greatly with her raven
black tresses which fell in ringlets about
her neck. Her hIsbanl woS, a full suit
of stlrs clothes an a straw hat. He had
great Difficult Y in steering the poor hors >,
aud the buggy looked as if it would fall to
pieces. The bride aud groom rode up and
down Baltimore street, much to the
amusement of the crowds on the street,
and in vain tried to find photographer
who would take them. AT last they found
'one near Gay street. When the groom
found the place he had much trouble in
getting the horse and buggy up to the
curb, and at last had to get out and
lift the buggy into position. Then
he lifted his wife out. and she
stood on the pavement in all her bridal
glory and fnery the observed of all OBJ
servers; but she did not mind that, and
seemed to care more for the safe disposal
OF bandbox and lace shawl than the
crowd who watched her. The couple went
into one gallery, bat there they could not
be taken large enough, AMI 50 they came
down again and went into another. The
groom put on his white kid gloves, and
they had a perfectly "scrumptious time"
sitting for their picture in bridal costume.
Several plates were usei before a good
negative was secured, because the groom
insisted upon kissing the bride every time
the photographers back was turned. Af-
ter the "ordeal" the BRIDE took of her
orange blossoms and veil and opened the
bandbox and gos out a. white bonnet and
put it on. Then the couple left. The
groom went into the middle OF the street
and, after taking OF the steamboat haw-
sEr that tied the horse to tbs hitchink pos,
turned him "off" so tue wheel won.d not
dirty the brides whitc dress, and Che la ly,
unassisted, holpei iato the buggy. He
followed her, and soou the vehicle and is
lrscious load we down the street ana
out of the city toward Philadelphia

time was ayouag girl OF twenty six, WELL
educated, refined aud very pretty. She
had come to Denver seeking employment,
but mp TO this time had no. succeeded In
obtaining it.
Il thought that she would suit my
mountain man, and they exchanged pho
tographs. Each was pleased with the ap-
pearance OF the other, some brief corre-
sPondence followed and within a mon.h
they were married and departed for thor
mountlin home. The 81 Zoo matter, !
forgos to say, was not me1ti ouei to the
young lady by mo, ami was, as you can
imagine, an agreeable surprise to her.

a letter inciosinZ the picture Of a beausi-
ful, bouncing.baby boy an aicheck for $5

made in heaven, little practical earthly

To the Citizens Of Rapides Parish:

so justly due to our fertile soil
and good people. 1t needless for
me to call the attention OF our citi-
zens to the great benefits derived
by eur State from the Worlds Cen
tennial Exposition, since the great
development in all the industries
now being made in our Parish and
State, fully attest the great advan-
tages we have derived therefrom-
quarries of stone and marble and
iron founderies are being develop
ed, showing the great mineral
wealth of our State. These indus
tries, together with the great rich
ness of our soil, are destined to
bring our State to the front as one
of the very richest in the Union.
We again have the opportunity
to more fally develop and bring to
the notice Of the world the great re-
sources of our State and Parish,
that we may not be behind in the
rapid strides to wealth, prosperity
and happiness and since our Par
ish has already a large nucleus from
the last Exposition, which will
again be utilized, I beg of you that
We all bend our energies toward
the great and noble end-pyide in
our State, development of her re-
sources and the wealth and happi-
ness Of her whole people. Give
your assistance that Rapides may
take her former and true place as
the most fertile and wealthiest Par
fsh of the State.
