THE EARL OF CRAVENS WEDDING.

q long time to come. lnVltatlohs VI on.
yer! The finest carriages in New YORK!
An earl for q groom! The richest
woman in America for bride! Meal
lister leading his flock, in all their M
ery! Heavens, what wonder that people
who had not had enough to eat for
| months came 20 look at these other va
grants. whose vagrancy is termed ieis-
| urei No wonder at all! What else
could have been expected? People VINO
make marriage a show must expect
spectators. The mob has no desire to
interfere with the nuptials OF people
who keep their weddings sacred, as
they should be. But when wedding
is advertised it is apt to draw.-Omdha
Bee.
Miss Cornelia Martin was recently
married TO the earl of Craven in New
York. No political frolic that Kansas
has ever enjoyed can DO compared TO
the turbulent rough-andtumbles scene
In Grace Church. Old maids with new
bonnets, new maids with old bonnets,
crinoline, shrubs. flowers, birds and
calico, widows, cripples, dudes, cranks
and fashionable toughs in one promis-
cuous burial blent!-DalIds NelCS.
The recent marriage Of the Earl of
Craven to Miss Bradley Martin, in New
York city, appears to have been a queer
affair all aronnd. Although attended
by the flour hundred" the confusion in
the church approached the conduct OF a
mob. Several ladies had their dresses
all torn off and loud talking was in
duIged in during the ceremony, even
while the. prayer was being recited. In
vitations'to the wedding breakfast were
on sale at the clubs at $50 and 500
each. In addition TO this cards OF ad-
mission were counterfeited and sold by
the hundreds, and people not hidden TO
the feast were present in droves.-

The marriage last week OF the wealthy
granddaughter OF Troy, N. Y, cooper
TO an English peer has drawn from var
ious newspapers the customary COM
ments that il is nero snoo0ish prefer
ence for rank which leads TO these in
ternational marriages. Nothing could
be farther wrong. TIE reason why
American men and women OF wealth
seek marriages abroad for their sons
and daughters and foreign residence
for themselves is because this is coun-
try which pays no manner OF respect to
idle wealth.-PhitddeLphiG Press.
The Earl of Craven, WHO was married
to Miss Bradley-Martin in New York
last week, wore at the wedding trousers
turned up at the bottom. One Of the
ushers wore a pink shirt, and the bride
wore ''soiled" gown. The groom had
his trousers turned up because his shoes
had been newly vanished. The bride
wore a soiled gown because If it had not
been worn before duty would have 10
be paid on il, and the usher wore pink
shirt because he is a dude. Who will
now say that fashions are without rea-
son?-UticG Observer.
1t was grand wedding. Ten thous-
and dollars went TO the Towering OF
Trinity. Admission was by card. Po-
licemen guarded the entrance against
the Eruption Of the Gotbs and the Huns
of society. The four hundred families
were all there. Two hundred bottles Of
champagne which cost Bradley Martin
$50 bottle tickled the palates of the
guests at the wedding feast. The whole
affair was on 1fIy-dollar-a-bottle scale.
1t was immense.-St. Paul Globe.
The earl Of Craven. who was married
to a New York girl with great eclat the
other day, is a pattern for the dudes
of America. he and his brother brought
over their wardrobes from England in
eighteen trunks and twelve hat boxes.
ANY American girl who could get such
a husband by putting a million or so OF
her daddY's dollars into the venture,
we should say, gets a bargain. He
would be cheap at half the price.-Los
angeles Times.
Some people forget their weddings,
but the Earl Of Craven and Mrs. Craven
will never do this. They were married
in New York. 1t is not stated just how
many ears, noses, teeth and glass eyes
were raked up Ia Grace Church after
the wedding, but the hair and panther
signs are said to have been awful. 1t
was wedding in very high life. Egyp-
tian red was the color.-DalldS NelcS.
Lord Craven's marriage in turned-up
trousers wasn't necessarily an Angli-
cism. They may have been cut too
long In the wedding haste, or he may
have mislaid his suspenders.- Columbus

OF Craven wedding in New York, with
