Evans passed slowly through the double
lines of friends in the Carnival clubs,
and, Notwithstanding the fact that they
we're the cyn0SGre of so many curious
eyes, walked unhesitatingly to the plat-
form, where the minister cordially
greeted them. 1t was not long after
their arrival before the words were
uttered which pledged them to stand by
each other until death parted, for better
or for worse, the responses being made
by the bride and groom so as to be audi
bic to all within the court yards pre-
cincts.
AS the minister concluded the beaUti-
full and impressive ceremony the crowd
broke out into a joyous cheer, and no
wedding march was ever more beauti-
fully chanted than the one which ac-
companied Mr.. and Mrs Brown to their
carriage, inside the Ice Palace of st.
Paul.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
In a pleasant house on East Sixth
street, resides the young woman who
last night put her marriage VOWS on ice.
Talk about woman's Unborn lack of in
yentiOn! What man would ever have
devised such scheme of protection
against divorce courts. 1t was not
solely with this object in view, however,
that the marriage of Miss Eva n. Ev-
ans and George f. Brown was given
over to the management of the Carnival
association. 1t was done fully as much,
if not more, to boom the town, and if
st. Paul real estate dealers do not make
Mrs. Brown their patron saint, it will
be because they are utterly incapable Of
gratitude. Eva and George fell in love
with each other at first sight-GeOrge'
mOther-in-law said it herself. They
have been Ceng aged for a year
now, but they were not intending
to be married until next March. Mrs.
Evans and Eva got to talking the matter
over one evening, and Mrs. Evans said
the wedding should take place in church.
But Eva declared she wasn't going to
march up church aisle with everybody
staring at her-what really modest girl
would. pray, when the sweet saeredness
of the Ice Palace is available! She said
she would drive to the minister's and be
married at his house. Mrs. Evans
thought she would like to see daugh-
ter of hers do it. The bare idea. Just
like any country jake" said she; you'd
better get married in the Ice PaIace.D
81 only meant it for JOKE explained
Mrs. Evans; ''but the notion struck Eva
and she and George, without a word to
anybody, sent letter to the Carnival
association, to see if it could be done. [
did not know anything about it
till the answer came OF course
was surprised, but I'd often
said to Will-that's my husband-I did
wish we could do something to help the
Carnival along. 1t seemed as if we
ought to, and that's what George and
Eva thought, too. If they could boom
the town in any way, they felt it was
their duty to do it," Thus is the sacred
ness of
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY
sacrificed on the altar of st. Paul enter
prise!
The Evans family belong to the First
Baptist church, and Mrs. Evans feared
DR.. Mabie, the pastor, would feel hurt,
not having been asked to offer the sacri-
fee. II wanted him." said she, ''but
Eva didn't. DR.. Mabie is opposed to
Carnivals and all that, you know: and
S. G. Smith isn't. Eva said, Smith is
the peoples man, my wedding is going
to be the peoples wedding, so Smith is
the man for me-"
1t will come hard on George in later
days, if Eva reminds him that she mar
ried him for the sake of humanity,
rather than his own dear sake.
President Cleveland did not respond
to his invitation, which was the first one
sent out; but Mrs. Evans and Eva are
determined not to get mad at Grover il
he didn't. ''Of course, he might have
been out of town when it was received
and never so much as have chance to
see it. You can't tell, you know. They
are so careless about such things at the
White house."
If Grover could know how beautiful
the bride was, he would be sorry
he failed to put in an appearance.
Owing to the crowd that attended the
seeing her clearly. The picture in the
GLOBE is excellent, and the position
she and George occupy, according to
the latter's mOther-in-laM is tXnical Of
