WEYBRIDGE,

The entertainment of the Monument
Sabbath school by the w. C. T. U. of this
town on Friday evening, Dec. rs, was
very enjoyable affair. The exercises in the
church consisted of singing and recita-
tions by members of the school and were
followed by bountiful supper in the
vestry. Where all the parts were so well
performed it would almost seem to dis
criminate unjustly to make special men,
ton of any. But your correspondent
thought the recitations entitled 1.-THE
Factory Chimney" by Mrs. H. B. Hagar,
and How Mrs. Gray came to visit the
Saloon" by Miss Flora B. Richards, were
very impressive. The Grafton by H. B.
Norton on "Prison Discipline was well
received. The orator who took down the
house, however, was Isaac Hagar, aged
8, whose unembarassed eloquence moved
all. Great credit is due to the ladies who
prepared the entertainment and to the
school that so we'll carried it out.

NEW HAVEN.

THE event of the week in New Haven
was the marriage of Mr.. Loyal S. Doud
and Miss ID. Emma Roleau at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dorr A. Roleau, on Tuesday eve
ming, January l. Miss Nellie A. Miner
was bridesmaid and Mr.. Frank Steele the
groom's best man. Messrs. Merle Sne-
den and James F. Winans. classmates of
the bride in Beeman academy, were ush-
ers. Promptly at half-past six the young
couple, with their attendants, took their
places before the officiating clergyman,
Rev. w. B. Hague, and were soon pro-
nounced man and wife and received the
congratulations of relatives aud the init
mate friends who had been invited to
witness the ceremony. Soon the guests
for the reception began to arrive and pay
their respects to the newlywedded coui
pie. Following such greeting an elegant
collation. was served. The wedding pres
ents, too numerous to mention, were yal-
liable, coming from relatives and friends
scattered over wide section of the coun-
try. Some of the gifts sent from dis
lance were particularly choice, as was
true of those given by the carer neigh
bors. Mr.. and Mrs. Doud took the night
express for Niagara Falls and vicinity,
followed by a shower of rice and other
articles supposed to portend good fortune,
and by the good wishes of large circle
of warm friends. The young people ex-
pect to be away on their tour about a
fortnight. Mr.. Doud is one of the rising
young men of New Haven, and sole heir
of the estate of the late Messrs. Stowe
and Doud, his grandfather and father,
on which he will continue to reside. But
few people begin married life under such
favorable conditions as he and his bride.
That the prospect of along and happy life
be abundantly realized is the cordial wish
! of many friends. +

The Harrisons, by all accounts, are
not achieving the same social success in
Washington that greeted the Cleve-
lands. No lady who has dispensed the
hospitalities of the White House ever
made more decisive conquest of the
Washingtonians than Mrs. Cleveland
She was perfectly idolized. The Whit
ney were also social lions of the first
order. Neither President Harrison nor
his wife care much for social gaities, and
the Mortons and Wanamakers are looked
to to revive some of the social attrac-
tions of the Cleveland regime. They
nave not made much headway in that
direction as yet, and their status can
scarcely be determined until next win
ter, when probably their great wealth
will be thrown into the scales to give
some eclat to what will otherwise prove
to be very humdrum and uninteresting
official circle. The Bayards, also, were
the center of most gracious hospitalities,
and it remains to be seen whether the
Blaines will fill the social void left by
them. The Plumed knight himself is a
captivating host, but there seems to be
no end of family troubles in the Blaine
households state of things hardly con-
ducive to a gay and festive atmosphere.

come of John D. Rockefeller is twenty
millions OF dollars year. No private
person who ever h.ed had an income OF
such vast proportions. 1t is five per
cent. on $400, 900, 900, and represents the
total revenues of many kingdoms whose
names have figured prominently in the
affairs of the world. Few people stop to
think of what million dollars is, and
fortune whose principal can be rightly
stated at that figure is still colossal even
in New York or in any of the other
money centers Of the world. 1t was
usual to place the wealth of William ID.
Vanderbilt at $500, 100000 about the
time of his death, but this figure was
gross exsggeration, and his wealth was
divided up amongst his children at his
death. The dead millionaire dazzled
the nations when he bought fifty mill
lions OF United States bonds in single
transaction, but prior to that pur-
chase he had parted with prodigious
blocks of his railway stocks. Probably
the largest individual incomes ever
chronicled were those enjoyed by the
bonanza kings during the heyday of the
output of the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines during the two years
from January, 1875, to March, 1887,
when 50, ,l60, 900 month was disbursed
in monthly dividends by those compa-
MES. During portion of that time MIR.
John W. Mackey's income is said to
have reached $500, 900 a month, or at the
rate of $40 O00,0 900 year. The fortunes
of the Rothschilds are, of course, phe-
nomenal, but that family is a numerous
one, and it is doubtful if the aggregate OF
their incomes amounts to the sum cred
tied to Rockefeller.
