"Mr, Ruekler's Bride"

To the Editors Of the Beacon rSirs -
Under the above caption, an article copied
from the Washington Past in your issue Of
the 2Gth ult, contains several erroneous and
misleading statements notice they also
appear, substantially at least, in the Enter-
prise, and in the Baltimore Ameriaa, and
which, in the continued absence of the
parties from the city, you will please allow
me TO correct.
In the first place, the personal description
Of the young man is wholly incorrect, and
casts an unjust reflection on the good tastes
of both ladies concerned.
There were no wedding trousseauX pre-
pared by either of the ladies, nor were they
expecting to be married at any definitely
fixed time.
The married couple did not remain in
Baltimore several days after their marriage
Thursday, August l2,J but were both at
their respective homes in this city in two
hours thereafter, and did not meet again
ulul tlic DiiOhlnB uOuuaJ ull'l hit uuhh'
young man had informed the other young
lady Of his course. He did not send her a
triling note with this information, but went
in person, as he did several times, unsuc-
cessfully, for the same purpose, and which
accounts for his visits TO her after his mar.
riage--save in the visit to the roller coaster
which was by previous arrangement and in
company with another lady.
No one more deeply regrets to the pub
licity Of this purely personal affair than the
aggrieved lady herself, which entities hel
to increased sympathy from all All the
good qualities ascribed to her and to hel
honored family are justly merited, and
prove the great sacrifice impelled upon the
young man at the shrine of his first and
earliest love. H. S. BUCKLER.
