The Hutchinson Daily News Of the
10th inst. contains the following ac-
count of the marriage in that city of
DR.. r. d. Alton and Miss Annie r.
Mintie, daughter Of our former towns
man, Capt. F. L. Mintie:
There was very pretty home we'd
ding yesterday afternoon at No. 2O3
avenue A east, when Miss Anna r.
Mintie, only daughter Of Capt. f. L.
Mintie, and DR.. r. D. Alton, of Living
ston, Mont, were united in the holy
bonds by the Rev. Albert Brown, of
Billings, Mont. Preparations for the
wedding had been conducted on scale
corresponding to the high social stand
ing Of the couple, though only the rela-
tive and immediate friends of the fam
lily were present. The sunlight had
been carefully excluded, and the ele-
gantly furnished apartments were
brilliantly Illuminated with gas light
through tinted globes, which enhanced
the rich draperies and harmonious fur
nisbings, particularly pleasing in decor
ative effect. The spacious parlor and
dining room were fragrant with rare
flowers, while on the mantels were
loose bouquets, and the available spaces
were set with antique jars of white
roses and Jonquils set in ferns. Scarf
draperies of dainty texture and graceful
design were especially effective in orna-
mentation. AT precisely half-past five
o'clock the bridal couple marched into
the parlor, preceded by the ushers,
Messrs. P.J. Leimbach and DR.. Klippel,
| while Miss Ella Russell, cousin of the
bride, beautifully played Mendelsohn's
wedding march. The couple took their
position under beautiful floral UNI
brella of white hyacinths and ger
aniums. About their feet on the
floor were large vases of Gala lilies,
geraniums and other choice flowers.
Rev. Albert Brown, of Billings, Mont,
an intimate friend of the brides FAM
lily, then united them according to the
solemn and impressive ceremony of the
Episcopal church and the ring service.
The bride looked lovely in golden
brown faille Francaise, with irredescent
trimmings, gloves to match, corsage
bouquet, of tea roses and diamond orna-
ments. No other dress could have set
off more ebewitchingly the dainty comeli-
ness Of this pretty and graceful bride.
The groom was attired in the conyen-
tional black, and wore gloves to match
the dress of the bride. The bridal party
and invited guests, numbering about
twenty in all, then sat down to the
wedding supper, which was served in
sumptuous style. 1t was really beau-
tiful spread-the table was carefully
prepared with a center mound of Gala
lilies and white roses and hyacinths.
From the chandelier to the sides of the
table, and fastened in festoons to the
snowy linen, were broad white ribbons,
while from the center, hung faultlessly,
were tendrils Of smilax. Handsome
souvenirs, in the way of satin bags fill
ed with wedding cake, and bearing on
the side the words, "Happy be thy
dreams,' were presented to the guests.
