nath, daughter Of Mr.. August Donath, and Mr..
Edwin 8. Clarkson was witnessed by large
circle OF friends and acquaintances. The cere-
| mony took place in the English Lutheran Church
at 7;30 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday.
| The ushers were Messrs. Herm W. and Howard
| Donath, brothers of the bride; Mr.. Edward T.
| Kaiser, and Mr.. William E. Smith. The groom
| was attended by his brother, Mr.. Robert Clark
| son, as best man. Miss Emily Donath was maid
of honor to her sister. The BRIDES wedding
toilet was exceedingly handsome and tasteful.
Her gown was of rich white faille with exqui-
sitely embroidered front of white mousselne de
sole. Ostrich feathers were beautifully ar
ranged as garniture on the elegant robe. A
bouquet of white roses and maidenhair ferns
was carried by the handsome bride. Her veil
was fastened with diamond pins. Rev. DR.. Do
mer performed the marriage service. Among
the many valuable presents received was check
for $4,000 from Mr.. August Donath, the BRIDES
father, and a silver service from Mr.. George w.
Childs. A reception at the family residence
followed the church service.
The musicale given last Thursday afternoon
at the residence of Postmaster General Wana-
maker by Miss Amy Hare was distinctive
social success as well as an artistic triumph.
Miss Hare, who ranks preeminent among piano
virtuosos, never played to better advantage
than while reveing in the intricacies of Chopin.
Comparison between Miss Hare and Vladimir
Won Pachmann, the Russian Chopin specialist,
must be invidious to the latter. Her playing
was facile, prompt, and pelucid, and from the
standpoint of literalness fawless but even
more remarkable than for technical dexterity
was it for virility originality, poetic insight,
and all artistic requisites that send floods of
feeling through the soul. Her method was ra-
diant, but sans scintilla of conventional
glitter She swept through volcanic passages,
then with magic touch brought forth strains
of pathos sweet as the flower-aden breath of
summer, and lifted the minds of her auditors
from the prosaic realities of life into the sphere
of the ideal.
The sudden death of Mrs. Russell, wife of
Admiral RUSSELL was a great shock to her
large circle of friends in this city, and will be
heard with profound grief by many on the
Pacific Coast, as during her residence in Cali
fornta Mrs. Russell wona warm and enduring
regard in the hearts of many friends. Her
kindly nature and the transformations hospita-
lity extended to those who were made SO warmly
welcome within her home will never be forgot
ten. The funeral service In st. Johns Church on
Monday was solemnly impressive ceremony.
There was large attendance, including full
representation of the Army and Navy. To
the bereaved husband and motherless children
all words Of consolation are vain and cold, for
their loss Is truly irreparable. Time alone can
mitigate their deep grief and reconcile them
to the absence Of her ''who is not lost but gone
before'
