THE marriage OF Miss Nan Clarke Hodge

the brides parents, Dallas. Rev. r. NJ. Rus
sell, assisted by Rev. w. j. Robinson, off1cia-
ted Dr. Joe McCance and Mr.. Presley Nc
Canoe supported the bridegroom, but there
were no bridemaids. The bride wore q
white silk gown. of girlish mode, and carried
| lilies-ofthe-valley. The wedding was very
quiet one. only the relatives and very near
friends being present. Altogether there
per the young couple left for two-weeks'
Eastern trip. When they return they will
live in q beautiful new house in Edgewood,
built expressly for them; and furnished = in
grandson of the late j. 7. Presley, a we'll
known Presbyterian minister Of Allegheny
City. Both the young people are popular In
Allegheny and Pittsburg society.
ONE of the prettiest weddings of the
spring was that of Miss Elizabeth Mary
Thurston and Mr.. Lewis Buckley Stillwell
at Calvary Episcopal Church last evening
at $50. 1t was what is known as "white
wedding" The decorations of the church
were all pure white. The flowers carried by
the participants and guests were white,
and the home of the brides parents, on
white spring blossoms. The Wedding party
made its appearance promptly and walked
up the aisle to the inspiring strains OF
wedding march. Then Rev. George
Hodges pronounced the fateful words. and
the twain were one flesh. The bride wore a
white silk gown trimmed with Duchesse
lace, and carried a white ivory prayer book,
'white'' wedding to the smallest details.
The bridemaids were Miss Alice T. and Miss
George Thurston, sisters of the bride, who
were dressed in white shadow grenadine,
and carried white flowers. The best man
was Mi. Fred Stillwell, of Scranton. The
ushers were Messrs. Gray, Frank Stewart
Smith, Henry L. Barton, Daniel Murray,
Philip Barton, Lewis Grammer and F. Du-
pont Thompson. After q reception ut the
brides late home Mr.. and Mrs. Stillwell left
for q tour that will last as long as they feel
inclined to stay away, no definite route hav-
ing been laid out or plan made for the dura-
tion of the journey.
YESTERDAY the Women's Relief Corps
took charge of the Grand Army Fair at old
City Hall. Dinner was served, and there
was large patronage, drawn from all
classes of citizens. The ladies had reason
to be satisfied, for surely never were viands
eaten with Greater apparent satisfaction
than in Old City Hall yesterday. The re-
mains of the dinner had hardly been cleared
away when 1t became necessary to prepare
far supper. Hero again the appreciati1&n & OF
the arrangements was shown by a large
number of patrons. The price of the meals
yesterday was so cents. but it mas Deen
deemed advisable to make change IN the
tariff; so to-day and for the rest of the week
the admission fee to the hall will be 10 cents,
and a meal will cost o5 cents addltlonal
This is in Difference to the objections OF
some of the friends Of the Grand Army VINO
wish TO take their meals in the hall thls
week, but who do not care to pay 80 cents
for each meal.
The entertainment last night consisted or
addresses by comrades of the G. A. R. There
were selections by the band of Post 3, and
great deal of that social good will that is so
characteristic of old soldiers and their
friends. There are number of unique
fes lures of the fair that are enjoyed by
those who have been visiting the hall.
WORKS of art are shown in one apartment,
the articles having been lent to the ladies
for this affair, while in another is a coliec-
tion of interesting war relics. Altogether
there is much to interest and amuse. and no
one can come away without feeling that his
time has been proftably as well as pleas
