Each Is Given Herewith.

Last Wednesday, at the residence OF
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. Mark P. Lewis
and Miss Mildred Howell were united in
marriage, the ceremony being performed
by the Rev. DR.. Pendleton.
The bride was dressed in a beautiful
gown of white silk, with no jewelry ex-
cept few diamonds glistening in her
hair. The groom, who formerly resided
here, is one of the most popular young
society men of Birmingham, Ala, and
deserves congratulations for securing as
bride one of the most beautiful OF Los
Angeles bellies.
The bride and groom were preceded
by little Annie Dunn and Master Le-
Grande Howell, both carrying bouquets
of flowers. AS they approached the spot
where the minister was awaiting them,
they were accompanied by the Bridal
chorus from Lohengren, performed by
Messrs. Owen and Hamilton.
AS soon as the ceremony was over they
were greeted with the wedding March,
by Mendelssohn, that triumphant peal
many happy couples.
Congratulations were then in order,
and refreshments being passed around
bride. Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis left on the
everlasting good wishes of all present.
The wedding gifts were numerous and
costly, consisting of diamonds, and gold
and silver ornaments, and including
beautiful bracelet set with twenty-seven
diamonds, present from the groom.
They expect to travel extensively for
some time, arriving at their home in
Birmingham, Ala, in about month.
Among the guests present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Poindexter Dunn, Miss Louise
Dunn, Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Hamilton,
Mr.. Craig, Mr.. Avery, Mrs. Scarborough
and Mr.. Z. w. Drew.
Long-Obear.
and Miss Mary Obear, which was cele-
residence of the BRIDES parents on Pasa-
dena avenue, was beautiful affair.
The high standing and popularity of
the contracting parties served to call
forth the most fashionable people of Los
Angeles society to witness the happy
event.
The bride is the only daughter of Hon.
w. f. Obear, retired capitalist of this
city, formerly of St. Louis. The groom
is practicing attorney OF Louisville,
Kentucky, who graduated with honor
at the University of Virginia in the law
class of 1886.
The handsome residence of Mr.. Obear
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion. Promptly at 7 80, the orchestra
began the wedding march and the bridal
couple moved forward and took their
stand beneath a huge floral bell.
Miss Cyolma Evans, st. Louis
heiress, and Jay Z. Hunter, of
this city, acted respectively as maid of
honor and best man, assisted by Mr..
Henry Obear and Miss Wright, and
Messrs. Willoughby, Rodman, and
Francis j. Thomas, the latter class
mate of the groom at the University OF
Virginia. Rev. Mr.. Irvine of the East
Side Presbyterian church performed, the
ceremony in short but impressive
manner, after which an elaborate sup
per was served. Two immense wedding
cakes adorned each end of the table, one
of which contained the wedding ring,
which was cut by Groomsman Hunter,
who in turn lost no time in bestowing it
upon the handsomest lady present.
After the happy couple had received
the hearty congratulations of those
present, they donned their travelling
costumes and left on the evening train
for San Francisco and the north, fol-
lowed by the best wishes of a host of
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Long will return
here from the north about October 18th,
and after spending few days, will pro-
coed to Louisville, Kentucky, where
their home is to be,
