Scenes at the Marriage of the Profligate DUO
de Morny-A Bar Sinister Pedigree.
Paris Letter in Philadelphia Press.
De Morny-Blanco And all Paris All, it
was memorable event. that wedding yesterday.
I do not believe the stately and classical Made
leine Church ever before contained such gath
ing although il has long been the fashionable
church of Paris, particularly for weddings. Bot
this was a motley gathering. Some days before
hand it was announced in the newspapers that
no one would be admitted but those presenting
cards of invitation. At this all Paris laughed.
Whyq Because according to law every French
church must be open all day to all visitors, un-
less by a special decree. And it was not to be
supposed that this government would grant
special decree to favor De Morny. Hardly So
all Paris f1ocked to the Madeleine. The building
was crammed and thousands were turned away
from the doors. got in three hours before the
wedding was to occur and waited. There was q
large funeral and Immediately afterward the
wedding All the fashionable clubs and salons
were well represented in the congregation. The
Hebrew spectators of the Bourse were there.
Bohemian artists and authors were numerous.
The entire corps de ballet of the opera were
there in body They came TO honor the man
who had been their rival as public dancer.
The demi monde was most numerously repre-
scented of all.
AS to the behavior of the company it resem-
bled that of circus audience The men largely
kept their hats on Many surrepttiously
smoked cigarettes All kept up a constant chat
ter of conversation. About a hundred young
men Of sporting character were there. They
looked as though they had just come from the
stables, and talked and acted as though they
were still there. They stood in two rows, on
each side of the central aisle, forming lane
along which the bridal party must pass and
they held their hats on the tips of their canes
above their heads The effect was grotesoue
OF course they prevented the people in the pc WIS
from seeing the bridal party pass up the aisle
so the people rose sn masse and stood up on the
seats so as to see over the young mems shout

Two Of the most gazed-at members of the
bridal party we're the Duke and Duchess De
Sesto Who are they2 The Duke was one of
the favorite lovers of the exQueen Isabella, of

Alfonso in conducting his numerous intrigues

prevent her from surprising the King in the
company of one of his proteges.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 4-In debate a few
days ago, Representative Hiscock, of
New York, reprimanded the House for
having many roll-cals and fiji
clustering upon many unimportant subjects.
He stated that it cost $50, 900 day to keep the
House Of Representatives going. An old en-
ploye of the House, who has figured every
species of expenses about Congress, states to
your correspondent that it costs a little over
ST. 900 to call the roll of the House He says Mr..
Hiscock's figures fail far short of the expense of
maintaining that side OF the Capitol He thinks
it costs over $50. 900 day to pay the expenses

these figures convey fully in the minds of the
average members he never hesitates TO spring to

estimated that one.ffth of the time of the House

measures as they come up.

Trade Depression in Eneland.

LONDON July 24-The commission on trade
depression has made its third report. 1t found
that the supply of gold had decreased and that
the demand had increased. While the returns
from external trade showed little diminution IN
volume, the money value, owing to the fall in
prices, appeared to be greatly reduced. 1t is the
opinion of the commission that the fluctuations
in the relative value of gold and silver have
caused serious losses, tending, in certain cases,
to divert the course OF trade and aggravate the
depression. The commission strongly advises
that searching inquiry be made into the cur
