The National Flag to be Displayed at
 Half Mast in Washington.
 WASHINGTON, July 14.-The following order has been issued by the president:
 EXECUTIVE MANSION.
 WASHINGTON, July IA, 1890. The death of John 0. Fremont a major gen. eral on the retired list of the army of the United States, is an event calling for some ap- proprlate expression of the national sorrow, and of a grateful appreciation of his public services. His career was full of adventures and useful discovery and of devoted aud con- spicuous service, both in civil and military affairs. He opened the passes of the Rocky Mountains and gave value to his discoveries by aiding to create an American state on the Pacific coast. It is therefore ordered that the national flag be displayed at half mast upon the buildings of the executive depart ments in this city until after the funeral shall have taken place.
 By direction of the President, E. W. Hal ford, private secretary.

The long delayed warm days, humid days, hot days, are here at last, and general discomfort is the rule.
 One thing to do about it is to have the feet properly clothed, for if the feet are cool the body will be cool also.
 Lay aside, therefore, all thick, heavy wear, get something low cut, thin, easy and soft, such as will soothe the pains and swelling in one extremity, while the wrinkles will be smoothed from the brow in the other.
 Russet Shoes will fill the bill for many purposes, Canvas for others. while Black and Patent Leather cannot be en- tirely dispensed with.
 But it should be borne in mind that ease and comfort cannot be fully ob- tained unless the Shoes are made on sci entific principles, so they will exactly fit the foot, and not. as is too often the case, the foot is made to fit the shoe.
 Such goods, gotten up specially to meet these points, can be found in great variety at our Store, as an inspection will verify, and we will take great pleas ure in furnishing to all good founda- tion for keeping cool.

FATHER sHEEDY TRIPPED UP.
how a Smart Young Man Settled In the First
Ward and Was Married.

Ward and Was Married.
A wedding causing considerable talk OF
the Hill on account of the secret way il
which the contracting parties went about it
leaked out yesterday afternoon. W. j.
Robinson, of Pride street. son of ]. S. Rob-
inson, who is identified with several build
ing and loan associations at No 131 Fifth
avenue, was married to Miss Mary Owens,
of Banksville. The young Iadv's religious
views conflict with those of the family of
young Robinson. On this account the mar
risge was not sanctioned by the father of the
groom, and he knew nothing of the wedding
until told of 1t by DISPATCH reporter
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Robinson said,
when told Of the marriage of his son:
This is the first intimation have had
OF nv sons marriage. do not approve OF
II, as be did not get my consent to marry the
young lady, of whom 1 know nothing.
As William is old enough to obtain a mar
rlage license without my consent, /, of
course, could not prevent it."
A call was made at the residence of Rev.
Father Sheedy, who married the couple.
Father Sheedy said: "It is not customary to
announces the marriages of persons from the
pulpit If either one of the parties is a
Protestant. 1 did not know Robinson, and
as he had marriage license could not re-
fuse to marry them. He told ME be was
stopping at the keystone Hotel, on Fourth
avenue, and as this is in my parish, 1 had
to comply with the young mans request"
both parties are well known IN social cir
cles. The groom for many years has been
connected with the insurance firm of J. d,
Biggert & Co., on Fourth avenue, where he
holds a very important and responsible
position. Miss Owens family are quite
well to do,
