The Century Piano Company had one
of the most novel floats in the whole
procession. 1t was thirty feet long and
seventeen feet high. The sides were
covered with canvas, on which were
painted fac-simile pictures of the Min
neapolis and New York factories, with
the huge salesbuilding of the Century
located on Fourth street and First ave-
nue. south. Across the top of the sides
are painted the words 'sTie Wonderful
Century Plant" At the bottom is a
Century plant. The whole is decorated
with bunting. while at the end is a
high grade Mehlin piano painted in
large size. The whole idea is very
unique. and drew forth great applause
from the populace.
The most extensive manufacturers
and jobberS of harness and horse fur
nishing5 in the Northwest were we'll
represented in the great pageant by the
eight floats of Dodson, Fisher d. Brock
man. All their departments were in
full operation, and the whole made a
splendid display of block and half
IN length. There were about $50 men
at work as earuestiy as though under
the supervision of their proper leaders
at the big factory, and as the floats were
about thirty feet long, abundant oppor-
tunity was given for working large
forces. Two floats were devoted to the
collar department., one for the packing,
one for cutting, one for stitching, etc.,
besides magnificent display of all the
various finished goods pertaining to the
trade. The whole outfit was elabor-
ately prepared, and attracted much
attention-and favorable comment. 1t
certainly reflected credit, great credit,
upon the house of Dodson. Fisher IL
Brockman, as indicative of their rapid
growth and characteristic enterprise.

All day long a September gale whirled
the dust this way and that, and wealth
er-wise people, looking at the hot sky,
predicted a rain. The day and the wind
died out together. and as the last faint
light faded away. thousand blazing
stars peeped out overhead to
lend their light and beauty to a
perfect wedding night. The North
west is a new country. Important So
cial functions have been few aud far
between, but last night an event of
more than local Importance was cele-
brated on a scale Of magnificence UNI
equaled by any city or section.
Miss Mary A. Lowry, the eldest
daughter of Thomas Lowry, the street
railway magnate. was married to Harry
2. Robinson, of Chicago, last evening
at 7:30. For hours before the ceremony
the little Church OF st. Marks down
town was besieged by a crowd of eager
people. From its doors gay red and
white awnings stretched to the curb
stone. Its interior was bright with
lights and sweet with the mingled per-
fumes of flowers. The nave, from chan
Gel to porch. was festooned with ever
greens. Inside the chancel railsstood
ported plants and palms, and the organ

The st. Paul contingent was some
thing far beyond precedent. The citi-
zens of st. Paul seemingly with one ac-
cord visited the other town to rejoice in
her prosperity and progress. The ca
pacity of the electric lines proved in
adequate, despite the fact that scores of
extra cars were enlisted in the service.
The motor men all say they never had
so many people to handle, and motors
were taken off other lines and united
with the work of the interurban line.
1t is not hyperbole to say that 10000
fares were collected for passage for the
day by the electric line, while the
short line trains were resumed
for the nonce and received

early hour. Indeed, at So'clock it began
to become crush, and this order of
things was continued until O'Clock,
when the trains became more comfort
able. Ladies were compelled to ride
standing the entire distance on every
train that went to Minneapolis before 2
O'Clock, and it would have been almost
physical impoSSibility to have crowded
another passenger OIL a car. 1t was one
continual string of motors with trailers
attached all day, besides the many new
recruits that were brought into requisi-
ton. and then the short lines that were
put on tor the purpose were packed all
the forenoon and goodly portion of the
afternoon.
The return home to the Capital city
was no less uncomfortable last night.
Every car was a crush until midnight,
and this tells the story that st. Paul
united with the sister city in celebrat-
ing the roYal Harvest Festival.

NOT ON THE BILLS.
Incidents and Accidents Unavoid-
able on Such Occasions.

What might have been very serious
accident occurred on the Minnehaha
Flour company's float, as the process
sion was passing along Nicollet avenue.
One of the figures represented on the
float was Uncle Sam. attired in the
usual blue coat and striped pants and
beaver hat. By some combination of
unfortunate occurrences Uncle Sans
pants got loose from their moOrings and
began to slip down. The crowd hooted
and yelled at him, and finally his atten-
ton was drawn to his very embarrassing
situation, and he retired beneath a
friendly canopy and adjusted his cos
tune.
A very serious accident was narrowly
averted last evening by Police Officer
Hanley, vino was on duty at the corner
of Fourth street and Nicolet avenue.
After the parade had passed and while
the crowd was pourSing down Nicollet
avenue, a lady driving a single horse,
and having small child in the buggy
drove along. When near the corner
named she dropped one of the reins
and the horse became unmahageable.
The lady got frightened and pulled the
one rein which she still held, and in so
doing turned the horse so far as to al
most overturn the buggy. Officer Han
ley saw the difficulty and seized the
horse by the bride just in time to save
the occupants of the buggy from being
thrown to the pavement.
In quite number of places along the
line of march the decorations hung SO
low that it was necessary to cut them
before some of the floats could pass
along, and in several cases festoonS
were torn down by the tall floats. On
erS were torn down and became en-
tangled in floats, but as far as has been
learned no serious accidents took place.
The farmer and his family were out
in full force. They came early and
came prepared to spend the day. AS
early as 8 o'clock in the morning the
streets were crowded with vehicles of
all kinds, those from the farm abound
ing, and from that time on the repre-
sentatiOn from the agricultural districts
were plentiful. During the afternoon
it was no uncommon sight to set fam
lily of seven or eight children seated
along the curb on Nicollet avenue,
placidly munching sandwiches and pie,
and washing their cold lunch down
with water from neighboring hydrant
or barrel.
w. A. Drew, who resides at 500 Elev-
enth avenue north, was overcome by
the heat yesterday forenoon while
walking along Nicollet avenue. near
Ninth street. He was taken into
neighboring drug store, and had soon
recovered sufficiently to be removed to
his home in tile patrol wagon. .
A young man named Frank Carlson,
one of the participants in the parade,
was thrown from his horse yesterday
afternoon while riding along Third
street, by the shifting of his saddle, but
fortunately was not seriously injured.

AT THE RECEPTION.
A Brilliant Fairy Scene-Some OF
the ToiIettes.

The Lowry residence is, on ordinary
occasions. one OF the handsomest
among the handsome homes Of the
Twin Cities. Last night it was a fairy
palace of delight. Banks of flowers
and decorations of potted plants were
here and there i'll the halls aid draw
Ing rooms. In the main hall was the
silver punch bowl, and table stacked
with be-ribboned souvenir boxes OF
wedding cake. A temporary supper
room had Teen built beyond the
dining room. It's walls were
closely draped with cream-colored
cheesecloth hung with festoons of
smilaX. The floor was canyaSed, and
supper was served in this pavilion. The
most beautiful and unusual feature of
the entertainment was the great ball
room erected in front of the main en-
trance. The stone floor of the piazza
was covered with rugs, and its sides
hung with curtains of yellow silk, so
that 1t formed a gallery of the octagonal
ball room below. Incandescent lights
in pink shades cast a rosy light over
the white cheesecloth-hung walls and
snowy floor. Here and there
in inches stood great palms in
white vases, white divans with pale
green cushions afforded resting places
to the wearied dancers, and the orches-
ira concealed behind thicket of palms,
added music to the beauty of the room.
A few evergreen trees were in the space
included in the ball room, and their
green tops reached to the dome shaped
roof. Evergreens and smilax were
laVishly used in decorations. Electric
lights were hung outside the grea

OH the lawn made the mound of flowers
magical. Up stairs in the hall the liz hts
cleaned on the silver and gold and cut
glass of the array of bridal presents.
The BRIDES gifts to her bridesmaids
were silver boxes with the monogram of
the recipient on each. Inside each box
was a gold wire bracelet, set with a
clover leaf of diamonds about a pearl
center. The groom's presents to the
ushers were onyx sleeve buttons Of fleur
de lis pattern.
There has never been social event
in the Northwest at which SO many ele-
giant toilettes were worn. The beauty
and brilliance of the rooms served as a
fitting setting for the exquisite gowns
that filled them. None OF the costumes
were inelegant, and most of them were
the creations of famous dressmakers
in the East and across the water.
Mrs. Thomas Lowrys gown was wonder
full Worth creation of cadet blue and old rose
shaded velvet. The court train and petticoat
were bordered with doves breasts and the
same garniture with morning glories was re-
peated in the Mechlln lace about the decol-
lete bodice. Mrs. Lowry wore necklace of

SOME OF THE FINEST.
Review of the Displays Which At
tracted Most Attention.


The decorations of the Plymouth
Clothing company's buildings were such
as becomes that enteIprising firm.
Golden grain, flags and bunting were
used in profusion OH the buildings
front. The Plymouth fur manufactur-
ing float was marvel of artistic ele-
gance, combined with that prodigality
of richness which can only be produced
by great variety of fine furs. Over
the driver was royal Bengal tiger :;
twenty-five feet behind, and guarding
the rear, was the largest specimen OF
the grizZley bear ever captured, stand
ing feet e inches high. Around the
float were specimens of the wild boar,
the American deer, curious wombats
from Australia, panthers and leopards.
Elegant fur robes draped at the
sides of the float to the ground. Half a
hundred of the operatives from the fur
manufacturing rooms were selected to
occupy all the available space on the
float, and the whole business of fur
manufacturing from the raw furs, the
stitching, the cutting and trimming. the
sewing, to the final finishing and glaz-
ing were all carried on in the open air
in full view of all. Overhead a canopy
was stretched, formed of alternate

trimmed with border OF coon tails.
Twenty thousand dollars worth of
skins were REQUIRED In the preparation
of The Plymouth float. 1t was drawn
by six head of fine horses. The notices

THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

Was banked with maiden hair and ferns,
with windings and festoons of smilax
about the pipes. Palms were about
the altar. which was banked with
white carnations, and above it,
in letters of white carnations
against a background OF soft
green smiax were the interviewer mi
tials l.. and X. The church was
crowded. Here and there a dainty face
seemed poised like butterfly on a
flower-like gown. Inside were the rep
resentatives of most of the Influential
social people of the Northwest. and two
immaculate white. gloved policemen at
the door marked the line of demarka-
vited The soft music of the organ
suddenly burst into the opening
chords of the Lohengrin wedding
march, and the wedding party entered.
First came twenty surpliced choristers.
ten of whom were from ST. Johns
church, st. Paul, marching two and two
and singing the wedding march. I'M
mediately behind them were the ushers,
MeSsrs. W. II. Hyndman and A. ii.
Paget, of st. Paul; G. S. Langdon, ID.
NJ. Chute, Willis Jones, w. g. Bristow,
of New York; w. g. Thorne and DR..

three. Next came the bridesmaids.
Misses Hattie Goodrich, Hattie lreys,
May Dadmun, Alema Johnson, Mamie
Nelson. Faith Ripley. Bessie Snyder,
Bessie Liuder, Abbie Hancock, in threes,
Their gowns were of white tulle over
white satin. Each bridesmaid carried a
bouquet of bride roses and wore tulle
veil. After the bridesmaids came little
Miss Beatrice IreyS, bearing the pillow
of white satin. Her frOck was of white
tuile, and on her head she wore a tur-
ban of seed pearls. The bride walked
alone. Her wedding gown was of heavy
white satin, embroidered deliberately in
seed pearls. The round waist was
decollete, and was finished on the
shoulders by plaitings of the satin
which lay against the large full sleeves.
The tulie veil was fastened with orange
blossoms, and the bride carried prayer
book bound III silver and white calf
skin. The maid of honor, Miss Nellie
Lowry, was the last of the party to
enter. She, too, was yelled, and wore
a yellow tulle trimmed with yellow
jasmine. Her bouquet was of yellow
roses. At the end of the aisle the
brides father met her and led her to
the groom, who, with his best man, j.
5. BradStreet, was waiting just inside
the chancel rail. The choristers arranged
themselves IN a semi-circle inside the
chancel, the ushers stood in front of
them, and the semI-circle of brides
maids, relieved against the black coats
of the usherS. made pretty setting for
the picture at the altar. The venerable
Bishop Whipple read the service, as
sisted by Rev. E. l.. Potter. president
of Hobart college. After the unusually
impressive ceremony, the wedding
party marched down the aisle between
the rows of chanting choristers. and

BUTTE, April l7.--[Special. Tho trouble
arising from the employment of non-union
carpenters by Contractor Ostberg, was set
tied this morning by the men applying for
certificates OF membership in the union.
Over hundred carpenters went to the
place where the men were at work. They
were met by Messrs. Casey g. Holland. for
whom the house was being built. Mr.. Casey
gave them to understand that he would
protect Mr.. Ostberg; that the men might
join the union if they wished, but they
should not be mulested if they Gid not. He
stated that he expected to build 200 houses
this summer, and would give employment
to great many carpenters. The money
was to come from eastern capitalists and if
this trouble was continued money therefor
would not be forthcoming and the houses
would not be built.
Walking Delegate Miles, of the Carpen-
ters' union. then addressed Mr.. Os tberg rel
ative to his men joining the union. Ost-
berg replied that tkey could 80 if they
wished. He had nothing to do with that.
They were paid 30 cents an hour and if they
wished to work ten hours it was free
country and they had right to do so. The
men employed on the work then signitied
their willingness to join the Union and the
carpenters dispersed.

The Father of Pedes,rianism.

Edward Payson Weston is still as vigor-
GUS rs when he made his famons 55O-mile
record in London. But it has been years
since he walked for money. He was the
father of walking contests. and during his
professional career walked in all 1000
miles. l asked him to-day what he thought
of the recent six-day contests. II haven't
attended any of them," he said. II tried
to elevate the sport. There is no
exercise like walking, and | attrib-
ute my present health and vigor to
the walking l have done. 1t is
pity that the contests cannot be conduct
ed on the elevated plane they once were.
AS to the recent records which have been
made you may say this: "When was in the

feet. Now apparently it may be ANYTHING
less than that. My experience of many
years taught me that no man can make any

he does the first don't care what the re-
