dence Of the brides patents.
It was intended to have the marriage
conducted ~ quietly - possible, but the

on the second door, aud was performed
BY Rev. DIR. Douglass, rector Of
st. Johns Protestant Episcopal church,
of which the bride has recsntly become
a member. The decorations were beautiful
in their simplicity. There we're about

pr. sident and Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee,
the cabinet Officers and Indies of their fam.
lilies. members Of the supreme court, the

of official society at the capitol. This

coed straight to their future home on
