Why Eugene van seh.irk Has Esohsw.d
~ Society OF Late.

Society OF Late.
NEw York, Oct. 28.-The papers yester-
day printed wedding notice which an
nounced that in 1886 Eugene Van Schaick
had become the husband of Miss Sarah
Rowland Pyne.
Eugene Van Schaick comes OF an old and
rich knickerbockcr family. Mrs. Van
Schaick does not. That and the lady's
youth made it seem best five years ago to
keep the secret Of such an evcntful thing as
marriage. 1t was o aromance. that court
ing 81 the Jersey girl bytt,,s knickerbocker
scion. Miss Pyne was the daughter of
James Walter Pync of Newark, near which
has u pretty face aud a 1.-the lorm. and
spent good deal of the time in New York
with relatives while she attended school.
When they met Van Schaick was twenty
six years old.
There was trouble in his family. The
The young lady's iather wished her to fin
ish her education. The young mans father
wanted him to finish his. So the young
people ostensibly deferred to the objections.
Mr.. and Mrs. +. c. Buddon. friends ofthe
bride. were let into the secret. The little
company went over 10 Williamsburg and
called up Rev. Strodach to perform the
ceremony. Thegood man made no search-
ing inquiries regarding identity. He tied
the knot and presumably got his Zee and

after registering tho ceremony, forgot all
about it.
Mr. Van Schaick and his bride parted
company that evening, she gong to her
Jersey home and the latter returning to
school. Time rolled on and Mr.. Pyne
died. Mr.. Van Schaick took his father,
Henry Van Schaick, into his confidence.
Troubles were snoothed over all around,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Van Schaick began mar
ried lie by taking apartments at the Ger
ZACH some time ago. Little bits of gossip
began to float around. Mr. Van Schaick's
intimates were let into the open secret.
But it was apparent that regular public
announcement would straighten matters
out. 1t was made yesterday. The God
bless you. my children" of fiction became
q reality. Feminine opposition in the Van
Schaick household was relaxed and now
all the family unite in saying that it just
pleascs them beyond expression.
Though rich and handsome, Mr.. Van
Schaick has had an aversion to society for
the last Jew years 1t can now be explai ned
to mothers of marriageble daughters. He
has been leading official OF the Manhat-
tan Athletic club in various capacities. He
was the first president OF the kni nickerbocker
Fencing club. Last year he went TO Europe
as captain and manager OF the Cherry
Diamond Athletic team. He is q mem Der
of the Union club.
