fhe Event.

tHe kftHts
The marriage of one OF our best
known young business men and one Of
the bellies Of Cumberland, Nd, ha:
been the talk in society circles in botf
places for some time. The happ,
event was consummated on the evening
of Tuesday December 26th. 1893
Perhaps the best way to describe the
affair will be to use the account given
| by the Cumberland Daily Netns on the
morning following the wedding.
Here it is.
zone Of the most brilliant wedding:
that ever occurred in this city took
place last night at the Jewish syna-
gogue on South Centre street. One
of Cumberland's fairest daughters,
and beyond doubt most gifted song
stress, was united in marriage to one
Of Morgantown's prosperous business
men. The contracting parties were
Miss Hattie Mansbach, of this city
and Mr.. Milton Hirschman, of Nor
gantown, w. Va. There is scarcely
man, woman or child in this city
who does not know personally or OF
Miss Hattie Mansbach. Her many
kindnesses in responding to the call
OF charity at concerts, entertainments,
operas and benefits of all kinds has
made her name household one all
over the city. Her sweet voice will
be greatly missed in Cumberland, but
as she is young lady of tender feel
ings and sterling qualities she will
find new field for worthy charities
at the home her husband will make
for her in Morgantown, w. Va.
The wedding program was carried
out exactly as prepared. The style
was what is called colonial Those
who witnessed it say it was "simply
perfect and the only pity was that the
church was SO SMALL The synagogue
was packed with the leading society
people of the city who willingly stood
on their tip toes to catch a glimpse OF
the fair bride and her train of ladies
in waiting, and seemed really sorry
when the solemn ceremony was over
and Miss Hattie Mansbach, whom
they knew so well, walked down the
aisle as Mrs. Hirschman, The altar
was exquisitely decorated with palms,
blooming exotics, and flowers, and the
air was perfumed with the odor OF
brides roses and lilies. Promptly at
O'Clock Mr.. Ed. Walker started the
thrilling march from Lohengren, and
moment after the bridal party
moved slowly up the aisle in the fol-
lowing order:
Mr. Isaac Hirsh, master of ceremo-
MES, and Immediately following him
came the groomsmep Messrs. A. M.
Lichtenstein, George Mansbach, Lou.
Mansbach. DR.. Keys, Prof. Hartigan
and Chas. Hayes.
Maid of honor, Miss Fannie Mans
bach.
Bridesmaids, Misses Daisy Bamber-
ger, Freda Rosenthal, Gertrude Price,
Stella Lichtenstein.
The groom, with his sister, Mrs.
Schless, of Charlestown, w. Va,
The bride, with her father, Mr..
Harry Mansbach
At the altar table the bride and
groom met, and were received by
Rabbi Stern. The impressive Jewish
marriage ritual was never more effect
ually used and its solemnity silenced
all present. During the service Mr..
Walker softly played that sweet little
morsel by Ale, Untitled "Call Me
Thine Own" AS soon as the ceremo-
ny was ended the groomsmen met
their ladies at the head of the center
aisle and marched out to the old, IA
miliar strains of Mendlesshon's We'd
ding March.
The bridal party were driven to the
Queen City Hotel where reception
and banquet was given. The tables
were so arranged that the bride and
groom could be seen, and at the same
time look the guests in the face. Ad-
dresses were made by the following
gentlemen: Profs. Wiley and Harti-
gan, of the West Virginia Universe
ty, and Mr.. G. Hirsh, of this city.
The menu included all the dainties
of the season, besides long list OF
choice wines. The costumes of the
bride and bridesmaids beggar descrip-
ton, but suffice it to say that they
were marvels of taste and beauty. and
a prettier set Of girls have never been
seen at wedding in this city.
After the banquet dancing became
the feature Of the night, and the
bride several times honored her old
friends by her hand. A picked or
chestra of nine pieces furnished the
music. At "a late hour the happy cou-
pie left for an extended trip in the
eastern cities"
The Morgantown guests were:
Profs. Wiley and Hartigan, Chas. A.
Hayes, E. e. Hayes, S, d. Hirschman,
j. j. Kenney and j. E. Fleming.
These gentlemen were a II highly de-
lighted with the manner in which
they were received and entertained.
1t is safe to say the pleasure was mu-
tual.
Prof. Wiley added to his fame as
a platform orator that of an after-din-
ner speaker. His address bringing
out rounds of applause and adding to
the general happy feeling that pre-
vailed everywhere.
The bride and groom will arrive in
MorgantOwn on the 9Th inst. and
reside at the Wallace House for the
present.
They will be warmly welcomed and
there is no doubt the bride will soon
become as popular here as she was in
the city of Cumberland,
