Ogden Armour is case in point. She

of Sufiield, Conn, but who during win.

ray Hill, New York. When but babe
Mrs. Armour lost her mother, and she
became mt once the idol, care and com
rade OF her father and his constant com.
panion accompanying him on long and
interesting travels in America and for.
eign lands.
Mrs. Armour was but recently freed
from school when she welded Chicago's
young millionaire. In person she is tall,
with perfectly developed figure and a
coIoring whose hues announce excep-
tionally fine health. Her eyes are dark,
penetrating and luminous. That she
should pass from a joyous maidenhood
to happy wifehood seems eminently fit
ting to those who know her.
She is practiced in athletic sports and
IS fearless equestrienne. In music she
commands high place; especially is she
cultivated as a vocalist Her husband
Is a graduate Of Yale
One autumnal afternoon in 1890 a
handsome brougham carrying u single
lady passed down Chicago streets fol-
lowed by stylish equipages. The up
hoistery Of the brougham was wholly
concealed beneath curtain of orange
blossoms, and its door frames, coach
man, harness, whip and horses were
decorated with the same nuptial token.
Inside sat Miss Rosalie Buckingham
in ivory satin bridal robe, upon which
skillful needlewomen exqnisitely had
wrought royal embroiderings Of orange
blossoms, leaves and branches Upon
the delicate border Of her aeecy veil tiny

orange buds were imprinted also by cum
ming fingers, and its airy tissue was
caught and held by high wreath Of the
same flower. The procession was novel,
most surprisingly poetic for prosaie city
streets, and thousands watched its prog
ress and arrival at Central Music hall
where Professor David Swing said the
service that united in wediock Miss
Buckingham and Mr.. Henry q. Sell
fridge.
Striking in originality both Of pres
ence and opinions, Mrs. Selfridge is one
Of the individuals Of society who directs
her living after a pattern Of her own
fashioning. She is of strong nature and
gentle feelings, with quick perceptions
and an intelligent sympathy. A spon-
taneity governs her, and no one Incl
dentally meeting her but gives instant
recognition to her force. Yet withal
there is about her the wins0meness Of
child nature with its openness and trust
Her appearance is oriental, her color
ing rich and dark. She INDUCES her
passionate love Of adornment by wear
ing often burden Of sparkling gems
that would eclipse one less brilliant Of
eye or unpossessed Of her quick wit.
For years an indefatigable traveller,
Mrs. Selfridge visited all the countries
of central Europe, India, China, japan,
as well as the icebound regions Of the
far north. She was a painstaking stu
dent and is colloquial mistress Of many
tongues. She also made a study Of art,
and her work is creditably done To
these she adds musical accomplishment,
the harp and mandolin being with her
great favortes.
Mrs Selfridge has old family pres
tige and large means. Her husband

seven rainbow hues. 1t was a day of
perfect weather and a marriage which
called only for congratulations. These
were received on the velvet turfed lawn
under canopy Of green, above which
white doves lowered.
Singular as it may seem, it Is true
that the sun in gathering the mists from
off the lake made visible a bright rain
bow, which seemed indeed reflected in
the gay booth holding the bridal party;
the variegated toilets Of the maids stand
ing in semicircle limited Of the curving
bow seen by old Noah after his journey
in the great ark had safely terminated.
As all the rays Of the spectrum are
known TO be present and reflected in
pure white, it seemed As though line Of
light passing through the snowy lOvli-
ness of the bride had let fall upon each
maiden prismatic color
Directly following the marriage Mr.
Taylor took his wife abroad. where un-
til recently they have loitered, spending
the major part Of their stay in London.
They have recently opened their hand
some Prairie avenue house. There they
dispense an almost prodigal hospitality.
Both are genuinely admired, and both
are devotedly happy in mutual affec-
ton.
One solid square ON Michigan avenue
will hold two palatial mansions built
for the sons Of Mr.. Philip ID. Armour.
One already stands completed and will be
occupied the approaching autumn. The
two young wives who will preside over
these superb houses are singularly do
nestle for women so attractive and
youthful.
Mrs. p. d. Armour, Jr., the earlier
welded, is of medium height and fair
brown in hair and eyes. She possesses
that excellent thing in woman, "a voice
ever soft, gentle aud low" using it in
quick, easy and charming conversational
encounters. French falls unsteady and
fiuently from her tongue. Of noble char
acter and sunny disposition, she owns
an intellect that enkindles and enriches
as well as a heart which blesses and
cheers all who fall under its sweet in
faence.
Chicago is often robbed Of her own
fair maidens that they may grace newly

ton, and for this reason much interest
attaches TO the pretty girls who have Of
late become the wives Of young Chicago
mif1ionaires.
Mrs. Taylor, wife of Hobart G. Tay-
Tor, "divinely tall and most divinely
fair" is twenty-five years of age. She
has a sensitive complexion, light brown
hair and warm, kindling, gray eyes.
Her brow is broad and open, her nose
slightly retrousse, with firm lower face,
made tender and sweetened by a most
pleasing mouth. When seen in profile
Mrs. Taylor's head shows straight, strong,
almost boxlike lines. She is quick,
sudden, impulsive in movement rather
than graceful, and her attitudes indi-
cate earnestness, originality and purpose
rather than repose. In manner she is
natural, cordial, full of a beautiful gra-
ciousness and a discerning affability.
Mrs. Taylor is the youngest daughter
Of ex-senator and Mrs &. b, Farwell.
Her wedding was one Of great brilliancy,
and to it were hidden 1900 guests. I'm
der June sky Lake Forest, the coun-
try seat Of the Farwells, the marriage
was celebrated. This lovely spot is well
christened, the united words "lake" and
''forest" being descriptive of its charms,
the former grand old Lake Michigan
and the forest an almost primeval one.
The special train that bore the expect
ant groom and guests from Chicago was
gayly garlanded, The newspapers of
even date held columns descriptive Of
the floral decorations. Into the lovers
knot alone, above the chancel, were
woven 1000 rosebuds. The bride, noble
and peerless in her snowy satin robe,
was served by seven maids wearing the

that no action on the question of pref
erences should be taken until morning.
The previous question was ordered and
like flash the resolution was defeated
by vote of 80 to 16. Determined to
follow up their advantage the Cleveland
men, through J. H. Eckles, of Ottawa,
who was stenographer to Daniel La
mont when the latter was private secre-
tary to Cleveland at Albany, submitted
a resolution endorsing the ex-president
and instructing the delegation to vote
for him on the first ballot as unit, and
simultaneously half score Of the oppo-
sition We're on their feet denouncing the
resolution and its supporters. The roll
call was then commenced and the last
name had barely been called when the
sergeant-at-arms poked his head out of
the door and announced to the waiting
crowd 81 for Cleveland, II against him.
A cheer went up from those in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. Like flash the
message went through the crowded
corridors and lobby and down to the
street, and thousands that had been
an1iously waiting for the news scat
tered to spread it far and wide.

a Month OF Fire ana Flood.

Early IN May the great foods in the
northwest assumed alarming proper.
tlons, May the rush Of water was se
overwhelming that the fact was tele.
graphed throug ghout the country and
generally commented on. Thence on
the Hoods ragged in increasing fury, till
they covered tract extending from
Minnesota on the north to Texas and
Louisiana on the south. and from Llli.
nols on the east to Kansas and Nebraska
on the west, Such deluges Of water
We're never before known over SO large
tract OF country. and the loss Of prop.
erty from northwest to southwest
amounted to not less than $50, ,OOO, 600.
Unprecedented, too, was the length Of
time the water remained, as indicated
BY swollen banks and bursting levees
IN the lower Mississippi, long after un-
der ordinary conditions the food would
have subsidized.
While this flood was at it's height came
the terrible fire at Spokane. in which
much OF the town was laid in ashes and
number Of lives We're lost June 8,
one month after the date when the floods
IN the west We're at their worst, the
hourishing new mining town OF Creede
was visited by a fire more destructive
even than that at Spokane a million
dollars OF Creede's newly carried pros
perity went up in smoke.
The flood and fire wave meantime
rolled eastward. On the same day
June 5-of tine destructive fire at Creede
came the calamity on Oil creek. Pa, a
calamity which in it's terrible pictur-
esqueness exceeded anything except a
volcanic eruption on great scale. Oil
creek was sheet Of flame for eighteen
miles. from Titusville to Oil City. Three
hundred lives were lost and again mil
lions OF property. Its cause was the
hood, the awful food. A cloudburst
near the head waters of Oil creek swelled
all the streams; q dam broke seven miles
above Titusville: the waters swept away
oil and gasoline tanks: the gas caught
tire from furnace, and then sheol broke
loose That other PENNSYLVANIA dis

oddly enough, was likewise caused by
the bursting of dam.
The saddest part Of the Oil creek dis
aster. next to the loss of life itself, is
that so many We're drowned and burned
to death whose names will never be
known, as they were poor families of
foreigners. and the annals of the poor

ers Of the ex-president's candidacy, as
expressed both before and after the eau
Gus Of the delegation, this action finally
settles the question Of his nomination.
The scenes in the Sherman house dur
ing the caucus were q vivid reminder Of
those which were enacted at the Lindell,
st, Louis. four years ago when the New
York delegates were called upon to de-
eide between Thurman and Gray as the
vice presidential candidate. The long
corridor on the second floor down the
stairway into the lobby and thence out
into the street We're packed in one solid,
perspiring mass, There were represen-
tatives of score of delegations; Cleve-
land men, Hill men and Gorman men
all waiting with the most intense inter-
est the outcome Of the caucus. Just as
soon as ex-Congressnan Stevens had
called the caucus to order Sheehan sent
request that his delegation might be
heard and a reply was returned that an
audience would be given them in
short time. Then the fight inside began
in earnest. The anti Clevelandites, with

building. It breaks the record in at
least least three respects-in size, in
ugliness and in the misfortunes which
have accompanied its construction. Ex-
ternally the building is only mammoth
dry goods box constructed of the
toughest lumber, rooted over with tar
paper and approached from the outide
by broad flights Of wooden steps; one
for the delegates and two at each end
for the spectators: The canvas roof
originally on the building was torn into
shreds some days ago. Since then the un-
protected interior has been several times
thoroughly drenched by rain storms
which spoiled the decorations, but the
decorator in charge has replaced his orn-
lamentations as fast as it was washed
away, and the building contractor, bv
doubling his force and working day and
night, has now completed the roof so as
to effectually shut out any future storms
From the center Of the roof inside
broad strips of bunting radiate to the
sides where they are enclosed by still
broader tier of the same ematerial. Over
the main platform is a four post arch,
handsomely decorated, bearing on the
pillars heroic sized busts of Andrew
jackson and Stephen A. Douglass, and
extending all around the rear of the hall
are twenty half length, life sized por-
traits Of distinguished Democrats now
dead.
The arrangement of the body Of the
hall is much like that Of the Minneapo-
lis convention. That is to say the dele
gates are seated in the center and the
spectators around in two gently shopping
tiers running all around the
building. Facing the upper
gallery are displayed the flags
and coats of arms Of the forty-four
states. This gallery ssats about 5000
people, the lower tier about $4,000.

The Boston Mustache War.

That piously inclined individual, Mr..
Willie Leslie Wilde, once remarked that
he never felt SO shocked and scandalized
in his life as he did when, on going to
church soon after coming to America,
ne found in the pulpit 4 clergyman, and
an able one, too, wearing q mustache.
1t would have been considered in Eng
land nothing less than an outrage for
clergyman to preach sermon that is
sued from his lips beneath mustache.
Something of the same sort of painful
nervous shock seems to attack the hotel
and restaurant keepers of Boston wh"..
they contemplate table waiter with :.
mustache upon his face. Whether this
horror is English and therefore the
proper thing for Bostonlte, wtethc:
they think the waiter will waste time
