A Love Affair HaDDilv Ended

A lovers long seige at the citadel of young
lady's affection was ended yesterday with the
assistance Of q minister. Mr.. Eugene Bisbee,
formerly Of Omaha but now a real estate agent
in Baltimore, has for several years sighed at
the feet OF Miss Evelyn Bragg, who is a member
OF the chorus of the Thompson opera COM
pany, now performing at the National theater
He first saw and loved her in New York four
years ago. but the lady did not return his af-
lection. He went back to his home in Omaha
and tried to forget her in the excitement of
business. He did not succeed. for about six
weeks ago the Thompson company came to
Baltimore where Mr.. Bisbee was living Mr..
BisUee attended the OPERA he saw Miss Bragg.
and then and there discovered that his atfec-
ton was only smoldering. 1t broke out with
fresh vigor and he renewed the campaign with
howers and the other attentions which
lovers heart, backed by fat pocket
book, could suggest. When the company
came to this city Mr.. Bisbee also came.
He went to the opera every night, and the
more he saw of his love the harder he loved
Miss Braggs heart was not made OF stone and
therefore she relented, and yesterday the
happy couple, with few friends. went to the
rectory of st. Johns church. where Rev. Dr.
Leonard tied the nuplial knot. Mrs. Bisbee
was in her place in the opera as usual last
evening and Mr.. Bisbee occupied his accus-
toned chair in the orchestra circle But his
haggard appearance had given place to one of
calm serenity, and Mrs. Bisbee received the
congratulations of her associates in the blush
ing, coy style that marks the happy bride. It
Is expected that Mrs. Bisbee will retire from
the stage at the close of the present week
