don cable says The marriage of Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge. which took place
yesterday, created a tremendous social SEN
sation. Every detail of the affair is eagerly
sought for, and retold as often as oppor-

imagination can supply. The bride, whom
his Lordship met on board the steamer
while returning home from his American
tour two years ago, is a decided brunette.

rage, ana slender, though perfectly mold
ed figure and aquiline features Her fasci-
mating and viyacious manner so charmed

The action of the Social Purity Society and
the Salvation Army, in watching private

up the revelations of the city's sinfulness
at points where the PsH lf0I Gazette
