At a Wedding.

The wedding in question was, in many
ways, the most brilliant event of the
season. Nothing which could serve to
heighten the grace and significance Of
the affair had been spared. The church.
fittingly decorated by Boston artist,
was filled with interested guests. The
faint strains of Mendelssohn floated
through the still air, and the beautiful
bride stood before the altar with her
chosen one.
The pastor of the church, ritual in hand,
read the solemn service until he came to
the critical moment, when he said:
Repeat after me, 4, William. take
thee, Frances
He did not proceed at once, for to every
ones establishment, before the bride
groom could find his voice, the bride, in
clear, firm tones, repeated:
81. William, take thee, Frances
There was dead silence. till the Sec
ond officiating clergyman, unable longer
to control himself, laughed outright.
This was the signal for a contagious wave
of merriment.
AS soon as the pastor could compose his
features and resume his dignified voice,
he said:
Repeat after me, L. William, take
thee, Frances.
This time the bridegroom spoke up
bravely, and there was no more blunder-

Speaking of George KEENAN,, he has
made fortune out of his Russian ex-
periences. He gets about $50, 900 for a
lecture season, and his investments in
Washington real estate are growing in
value. He bought 5, 900 feet of ground
on Sixteenth street year ago. intend
ing to build a house on the lot, but he
finds that he must be away from Wash
ington so much that he has decided to
wait In the meantime he has been
offered an advance of about IS, 900 on
his lot, and it will soon double in
value.
The property that John Hay bought
on the corner of Sixteenth street and
Lafayette park is worth twice what he
paid for it, and all Washington thought
he was wild when he bought it for six
dollars square foot He has made at
least half the amount of the presidents
yearly salary out of the increase in the
value of the ground.

A Proof of Merit.

When remedy proves itself cure for
the very worst phases of blood poison, it
stands to reason that minor effects of bad
blood will rapidly disappear if the remedy
is used in time. No remedy in the world
has so good reputation at home or abroad
as cure for all stages of blood poison as

An equally ingenious feature is new
method Of connecting the helmet with

presented in this device consists in the
