INHERITANCE OF KINGS.
Sacred Heart Church Puts on Autumnal
Garb for Wedding-Bride and Groom
Give Each Other Ring at the Altar
Scanning the Social Horizon.
YESTERDAY morning Miss Mary Emily
Keating was married in the Church of the
Sacred Heart to Char rles Ludlow Livingston
at 1890, remaining cor solemn high mass,
which the wedding Immediately preceded.
Chrysanthemums were selected to decorate
the church, red and yellow being chosen to
reproduce the autumnal colors, and
branches OF trees, as foliage, intensifying
the conception of O November
day. Policemen were stationed at
the church door, from which an
awning was suspended to Center avenue,
to hold back the inevitable crowd. The
church was well filled with the church
guests, besides those to whom invitations
for the house reception had been extended
and who occupied pews in front of the altar
marked off by white ribbon. The ushers
were: Mr.. Charles Griffin, Mr.. Edwin keat.
ing, Mr.. Paul Dunlevey and Mr.. Francis
Heating. After seating the people, these
gentlemen preceded the bridal pair and the
presents of the bride to the altar. Mrs
Anthony Keating, the brides mother,
went first accompanied by the bride
groom, Mr.. Livingston. Miss Keating followed
leaning on the arm of her father, Anthony
Keating. The bride wore an exquisite gown
of white silk, the bodice of which was cut
round, and over all bridal veil fastened to
the couture oy spray OF orange blossoms;
she carried in her right hand ivory backed
prayer book. A dainty and pretty girl
always, as a bride Miss Heating looked par
ticularly engaging and lovely. Mrs. Anthony
n
queenly carriage, wore a magnificent light
colored gown trimmed in rich dark fur.
The ushers wore Prince Albert coats and
l1ght-colored trousers, the bridegroom be-
ing similarly attired, excepting that his
dress was entirely black or of some very
dark shade. Something very unusual in the
Catholic Church, was the sight of several of
the reception guests in afternoon dress and
bare headed. When the ushers reached the
sanctuary railing they divided, MI. Keating
giving his daughter to the bridegroom, who
then entered with her and knelt before
the altar. The father and mother with the
ushers fell back and took their seats in the
front pews. The Rev. Father Kean per-
formed the ceremony, blessing the rings
which the bridal pair exchanged. The bride
and groom did not receive holy communion
as is usual, having celebrated that mass
early in the morning. Rev. Father Murphy,
sermon, in which he alluded to the bride In
a. touching manner. He called atten-
tion to her church work, and men
riage was depriving Sacred Heart parish
of one fits most efficient members. The SER
mon was listened to with deep attention.
Solemn high mass was then celebrated, and
at 1880, the family and the bride and groom
left the church. A reception was given at
house in the afternoon by Mr.. and Mrs.
End, at which several hundred people were
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Livingston will be in
New York this morning.
THE Oakland Children's Hospital is
much exercised over the need of a new
fence and large sum for household ex-
penses. To obtain this it has become one of
the two benefciaries Of the expected Ma
tional Pageant in the Auditorium next
month, the Church of the Ascension being
the other. The hospital does not
receive State aid, but is entirely
dependent upon private subscriptions
and the interest of small sum in bank.
One source of income it has been entirely
deprived OF by the conditions of Miss
Holmes beqnestvthe receiving Of "pay pa
tieuts." Miss Holmes gave her money for
charity hospital, and so charity hospital
the Oakland institution must forever re-
main while its present charter exists and it
lives in the house partly paid for by her
money. This can be got around, however,
testifying to their gratitude by the gift
of sum of money covering incurred
expense. For some reason the hospital is
not popular with the poor in the city-that
is, with those who have never experienced
the benefits of its entertainments. The
matron says that those who are most op-
posed to permit their children to enter the
hospital are most averSe afterward to have
them leave it. At present there are only IA
children in the house, though there are ac-
commodations for 30 and upward. To see
these II little children at play, or, at least,
playing as much rs some of them can, tells
its own story about the happy home pro-
vided for them. Some of them remain
in the Home year and more, and none are
doctor pronounces them on the highway to
too often the case in other eleemo-
synary institutions. When the fence ar
rives. which the manager expects to be quite
handso me, the hospital will be protected
from the four streets which surround it
Ophelia and Forbes street and Nc
izens of a rather uninviting part of town
turned loose every day on the lawn, totally
destroy its neatness, to say nothing Of
its beauty.
ONE of the tortures which many of the
owners of handsome houses in Pittsburg
have to suffer from is the general insistance
by the public that their houses are for sale.
Only few days ago a frequently recurring
report that the Hostetter house was soon to
be parted with by Mr.. Hostetter, was en-
phatically denied in these columns There
never was at any time truth in

absolutely correct recital to make of Mr..
Hostetter's intention. This story is on par
with one in which Mrs. w. G. Parks house
was concerned. 1t was officially "gossiped"
about that for a ridiculously low sum her
house, its grounds and furniture were to be
parted with, but the story turned out to be
is untruthful and absurd as the one pre-
viouSly cited. One man was so disguised at
the necessary frequent denials he was
obliged to make concerning his house, that |
but "what his wife was for sale also, if he |
could get good price for her," |
