MAJ0R sULLY VS. THERE.

He OffcIates at = Double HaIIelujah We'd
ding in Kansas City.
Major SuIly, OF the Salvation Army,
went TO Kansas City yesterday and offic-
lated at a double hailelujah wedding. It
was a big event IN the army circles of
both Kansas Cities, and next 10 the brides
and grooms Major Sully was the biggest
one there, and he had his picture in the
papers.
One Of the Kansas City papers says of
the event:
The people paid ten cents at the door
and came in TO see the ceremony per
formed. ard before the army came back
from It's trium Dhal march the church was
full Major Sully came in with the sol
dIers, who returned soon making a great
deal of noise. and all marched around
the barracks with the band running at
full speed. There was some singing and
praying, then 4 couple Of officers with a
banjo and guitar came forward and
starred 10 sing They couldn't get their
voices to harmOnize, however, and sew
eral trials were necessary. Finally they
succeeded in rendering song TO the tune
of "AIy SweethearI's the Man in
the Moon" Then more prayer and
a general amen. Major Suliy stepped
forward and suggested d volley for the
brides, bridesmaids, gr0oms and best men.
who were then coming up the aisle. The
VOlley was loud and lOag, and Louder
and longer, and far above all the noise
the bass drum made, arose the
laugh Of George Oswald, who, standing
IN the aisle near the center Of the house,
was taking the whole scene ia.
The brides and grOoms and party, in
Guiding the fat bridesmaid, took seats on
the rostrum, The grOOms sitting on one
end and the brides on the other. with
several people between. After some
more praying and singing to put the
brides and grOOms in a cheerful state of
mind NJ ajor Sully read the articles OF
marriage from a red backed book. which
he said the Rules and Regulations Of
the Salvation Army I he articles were
vows, and among others was this, the
most important:
I'VE hereby declare we have not
sought this union TO promote our own
welfare and happiness only. but believ-
ing we Can SO best serve God
The ceremony was very short, the con-
tracing parties holding hands and re-
peating the VOWS. They did not do any
kissing or handshaking then, but sat
down in the places they arose from to BIZ
married, keeping the length of the
bench and the people between them.
Vi jor Sully said they did that way in
every case, it being the policy Of the
army 10 mix religion in everything they
do He called upon the newly married
people to tell how they felt and all re-
spOnded. The grooms talked about be-
ing saved and invited everybody to Join
them and go to heaven, but said nothing
q bout their wives. The brides were "a
little bashful, and could not be heard
very we'll, but they said 40 word concern
ing their husbands.

deferred.
Governor Lewelling is desired to be
