and the sooner ne is silenced by popular
opinion the better for the community.
What Richmond wants is broad

DR.. w. Kennedy of Middletown, Dell,
and Miss Lee Evans, were married at one
O'Clock on September Oath, at 1928 Fif-
teenth street, N. W., Washington, D. g.
The bride surrounded by her family and
her most intimate friends, seemed radiant
with happiness. She was richly and
tastefully attired in travelling costume
o embroidered cloth, and wore exquisite
diamonds in her ears and at her throat,
making handsome picture as she stood
up with her affianced before the ohdciat-
ing clergyman In the recess OF the bay
window, surrounded by the shrubs and
plants. The parlors were beautifully
decorated with choice flowers, and these
with the lights, the bright faces, and the
pleasant surroundings, present a. truly
picturesquescene not easy forgotten. The
groom seemed as happy as he was proud
Of his chosen bride. And wei he might
be. After the brief but impressive cere-
mony performed by the Rev. f. Mackin,
the guests repaired to the breakfast-room
where sunptuous COLLATION. was served.
AS the bride decended the steps to enter
her carriage shower Of rice greeted her.
The couple left on the four O'Clock train
for their new home In Middletown.

Opening of the Permanent Circus at
the American Institute.

The ribald scoffer hereabouts is wont to
say that the circus even antedates Mama
ger Noah 's managerie, and that there is
nothing new in it. While this is gener-
ally true, the exception, of course, must
exist. It existed yesterday afternoon and
last evening and expects to exist for the
rest of the season at the American lnsti-
tute building, on Third avenue, near
Sixty-third street. It is Frank A. Rob-
bins winter circus, and the first perfor-
mances were given yesterday as sort of
Christmas Eve offering to the little folks.
Mr.. Robbins is bold man to establish.
himself in this city with permanent
circus, for New York has been victim lied
by fake" shows, and looks with rather
cold eye on innovations. Robbins was
sanguine, however, when he began to
prepare for the winter campaign, and he
performances have justified his faith.
One of the features of the show is the
dance by eight elephants who furnish
their own music. The performance
closes with a four horse bareback busi-
ness in each ring. 1t is an interesting
show and has an unusual attractiveness
for children. There was fair audience
in the afternoon and a better one in the
evening, but the people will come even
tually, for it is not too much to say, per-
laps, that Robbins came here to roost.
Merry Christmas to you OF the circus =
