The cessation in the matrimonial world
ceased" last night with Miss Elizabeth
Frew's wedding in the Oakland III. Z.
Church, to Mr.. William Phillips, of the East
! End. Like all early autumn weddings, the
nuptial was marked by extreme unostenta-
tion; the bride being unattended, and the
groom likewise. Invitations had been rather
sparsely extended, and altogether notice
able pleasing simplicity was suggested The
bride was attired in a pretty white gown,
and made most attractive appearance In
the rather severe nature OF the wedding pro
cess1On OF u5hers.
Mrs. Frew's house on Forbes street was
the scene of a reception after the ceremony,
which was performed at o'clock by the pas
tor of the church. Only the relatives were
present. and they drove to the house at once
after the marriage, and there congratula-
tions fell thick and fast on the newly mar
ried pair until they withdrew and left to
take an Eastern train.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips will live on Forbes
street in the old residence of the Phillips
family, charmingly situated in one OF the
most agreeable spots in the East End.
A returned European traveller, DR.. j. NJ.
Stevenson, was visiting on Monday in the
East End, where, until recently, he possessed
one of the most lucrative and fashionable
practices of any Pittsburg physician. Last
autumn he gave up his profession owing to
his health, and left in May with DR.. Roger
Williams for the Continent where he has
been travelling since. Dr. Stevenson has a
pronounced penchant for fancy stock, and
owns two farms in Westmoreland county,
on which he keeps a lot of finely bred cattle
and horses. He reached the farm where he
lives last week, going there directly upon
arriving in America. He has regained his
health. DR.. Williams, his companion, has
not returned home, and is not expected for
some weeks.
Que of the most curious effects of the
summer season is the dearth it has caused
Of servant girls. An East End woman has
been searching in vain for the past eight
weeks without obtaining either a good, bad
or Indifferent specimen of q domestic. Dur.
ing this time she advertised on several oc-
casions in five English and two German
daily papers, besides visiting all the intelli-
gence offices in Pittsburg. Not single ap-
plicant turned up until this week, when she
had five aspiranta for her house work, all Of
whom had ust returned from a vacation in
the country, Some Of the girls are
SO thrifty that they can afford to
Others prefer to work in change of scene.
and seek farmhouse labor for the pleasure
OF the country surroundings, and are quite
willing to relinquish the comforts Of sub

vailing craze of being out Of town in the
summer. One insertion of an advertisements
