10000 MILES ON A BRIDAL TOUR.

Mr.. and Mrs. T. SuRern Taller Back
From Their Journey Around the
World.
When Nj. and Mrs. T. Suffern Taller re-
turned to town week ago they had COM
pleted the longest bridal tour ever made
by an New York couple. A thousand per-
sons tried to crush into Calvary church
on April IA, to witness the marriage of
Miss Maud Lorillard, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierre Lcrillard, to Mr.. Taller, who
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. n. Taller
Of Il Washington square, north The we'd
ding reception at the Lorillard residence
was one of the social events of the year
For the last eighteen months Mr.. and
Mrs. Taller have logged Ieisurely around
the world, stopping a interesting points
for month or so, and quite unconsciously
covering distance of about 40, 600 miles.
They spent the first five months in doing
their own country. At Vancouver Mr..
and Mrs. Taller met Moses Taylor of this
city, and Frank and George Blake of
Boston, and on Aug. 20 the party of five
sailed on the Empress of Japan for Yo-
kohama Mr.. Taller speaks very highly
of the steamship and hotel comforts be-
tween Vancouver and Hong Kong, with
the exception of the beefsteak and the
chickens, which, he says, resemble chew
ing gum. The party spent two months in
Japan, and under the leadership of a guide
they penetrated into the unfrequented
portions of the kingdom. Everywhere
they were most courteously received.
In China the conditions were totally diff
ferent. The Chinese are so vicious and
treacherous that the travellers were ad-
Vised not to remain out of their hotel af-
ter dark. Mr.. Taller was strongly i'm
pressed by the activity and success Of the
Roman Catholic missionaries rim China.
He is amember Of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, and a generous contributor to
it's missions, but he admits that Protest.
ant missionaries, have been far less sue
cessful in Outstanding China than the
Roman Catholics. The success of the Cath
Ollie church he attributes to It's meth
DDS. Jesuit missionaries from France and
Italy were met, who looked so much like
| Cinnamon that it was difficult to distin-
| guish them from the natives. They have
adopted the Chinese dress, even to the
! cue, and they live like the Chinese and
! talk their language fluently. The Pro-
! testant missionaries live like Europeans,
and generally aloof from the natives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taller spent a month in
! Ceylon, remaining most of the time in
Randy, the former capital of the island
! The enormous amount of shipping in the
port of Calcutta reminded them of New
York harbOr.
Mr. Taller did not enter the jungle, al
though he was invited by some English,
men to join a hunting party. He says
that hunting in India in these days is
| somewhat farcical. A maharajah in
forms his sportsmen friends whenever
tiger is found in his province. The beas
is located. Boxes are erected in the tree:
and fat pig is tethered within range O.
the men in the boxes. An electric ligh
is hung over the pig. At night the hunt
| ers ensconce themselves in the boxes
while a native prods the pig until his
| squalls resound through the jungle. WheI
the tiger appears the electric light il
turned on and the hunters riddle the un
fortunate beast with bullets. A sQuabbl
for the skin naturally follows.
In India the Tailers met the Duke anC

carload of parrots, monkeys, Jackals an
other Indian animals. Mr.. and Mrs
Tailor reached Europe by way Of Bombay
the Red sea, Suez and Brindisi.
During the absence of Mrs. E. N. Tale
and her family in Europe, Mr. and Mrs
T. Suffern Taller are occupying the home
stead in Washington square, but they eX
pect soon to take possession OF thel
