VANITY COMES TO GRIEF.
A BRIDAL COUPLE IN HIDING IN.
STEAD OF IN CUBA.

The Wedding Ceremony Celebrated in
One OF the Fashionable Churches of
Atlanta With All the Finery and
Agony of a Society Event-A Depart
ure by One Train and Return by the
Next.
ATLANTA, GA, Deo "a wedding thas
took place here recently, the contracting
parties in which were popular, though not
wealthy, members of the 'smart" set, is now
being rolled under the tongue Of that same
smart" set as a very juicy morssl of gossip.
The ceremony took place In one Of the
fashionable churches, with all the finery and
agony OF a society event, It had been es-
pecially advertised In the society columns Of
the local papers. In addition to the usual
dilation on the brides trousseau the society
reporters wrote glowing descriptions Of the
proposed wedding journey, which was TO
take the happy pair to Cuba and other
southern lands dear to the fancy of loves
young dream. When the bride and groom
bade adieu to their friends at the depot
there were many predictions of trip lust
too lovely for anything" but, alas. for the
vanity OF modern youth.
ONLY IN HIDING.
The friends Of the happy pair had only
begun to imagine them on the balm-laden
shores OF Cuba, when a night or two ago
the bride was recognized on the street,
heavily yelled and oloaked to hide her
identity. by the wife of a well-known
merchant. Now society is busy
retailing the story of the happy
COUPLES wedding Journey. Instead OF going
to the fair southland they met another
train and returned to the city within few
hours after they had left, and since have
been hiding out, so to speak, at the home Of
the lady's mother, staying indoors all day
and going out for air and exercise only in
the evening. The announcement OF the re-
turn OF the happy pair from their bridal
trip to the tropics is expected in a few days.

then all discipline was at an end. The panic
spread through the building. and despite the
efforts of the teachers there was a Wild

scattered around in oil directions. A
great shrek was heard and the

OF having both sessions held in the fall,

After the disposition of this bill the House
went into committee of the whole to cons
slider the general appropriation bill, which
was taken up last Saturday but not dis
posed of on account of the fight on the ap-
preparations to the branch colleges. The
balance Of the days session was devoted to
the discussion OF the appropriations, Dahlo-
mega being the central point of attack by

mittee Of the whole finally disposed of the
appropriation to the branch colleges by al

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The men In the
Senate and the House who are recognized
as being nearest to President Cleveland are
unwilling to be interviewed as to Mr..
Cleveland's intentions lest they should COM
promise him or themselves, but they all
agree in saying privately, with much en-
phasis, that ne has not decided to call an
extra session of the next congress and that
he will not decide that question until the
time comes, which will not be, they say,
before February. They agree in saying
that the statements TO the effect that he has

put forth by men who have some personal in

statement that ex-Seoretary Whitney and
the democratic leaders in congress consider
an extra session necessary it may induce the
belief that the matter Ia settled and so pro-

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 6.-The report OF
the committee which went to Chicago in
the interest of an exhibit at the worlds
fair will be made TO the legislature this
week. The copstitutionality Of an appro-
priation for making an exhibit by the state
has been discussed 40 length by the lawyers
OF the asse mbly as well as other friends Of
any measure that would give the state
representation at the fair, and the oonciu-
sion arrived at without formal discussion
on the floor Of the House is that the state
cannot make an appropriation. though IL

Northen, with the assistance Of Others who
feel deep interest in the undertaking, will

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA report In favor
Of the repeal of The silver act of 1890 will be
made by the House committee on coinage
tomorrow IL Representatives George Fred
Williams and Tracey have their way. Mr..
Williams addressed a note 60 the chairman
yesterday asking that meeting of the
committee be called for Wednesday, the
regular meeting day. Mr.. Bland distributed
notices of the meeting this afternoon, but
did not say whether he should be present
or endeavor to secure the presence OF the
other silver men. It is quite probable that
the silver men will stay away, and that
there will be no quorum. Mr.. Williams in
that case will suggest an informal vote
upon the subject, and IL he and Gen.
Tracey are the only members present
the vote will be unanimous. Mr.. Williams
thinks that aotien in favor Of suspending the
silver purchases ought to be taken at once In
IN order TO show the monetary conference at
Brussels that we do not propose to fall into
the trap they have set for us to drift upon a
silver basis and give them our gold. Mr..
Williams probably does not expect to carry
his proposition for repeal at a full meeting
of the committee, but he intends to make
an earnest fight for it.

the Clerical Reformer.
New YoRK, Dec. 6.-Supt. Byrnes to-
night gave an outline Of an attack upon
Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst, in which he
makes direct charges of conspiracy, and
which he has In course Of preparation for
publication at an early date. He
said: 81 am preparing q series of facts,
which have not yet been completed,
In relation to numerous accusations and
statements which DIR. Parkhurst has made
against the police department Of this city .
l have refrained from attacking
the reverend gentleman because he
is clergyman. These accusations
have been made up. without
evidence TO support them and I do not
think he believes them himself The whole
thing was made up by him aud by certain
influential members OF his congregation and
originated In divorce suit which occurred
in this city ten years ago.
The complainant In the divorce case
was young woman belonging to
his congregation who sought a divorce
from her husband. That time DIR. Park
hurst and certain members of his congrega-
aon tried to get a certain police officer to
testify to certain facts regarding misdoings
Of the woman's husband, but the officer re-
fused TO swear to such facts. DR.. Parkhurst
was angry because the policeman refused
TO testify in the interest Of the woman, who,
however, finally succeeded IN getting the
divorce"
The superintendent explained that the
woman. who was the cause Of the divorce,
was an inmate of O certain house OF III
repute.
'1t was then," he continued, 'that Dr.
Parkhurst began his prosecution against
this particular house, and that was the
commencement and animus Of all his at
tacks upon this department"
