A ROmdNTtC MARRIAGE.
A Recent Divorce Made the Nupiials Pos.
slbIe-Ibe Contracting Parties.

A quiet home wedding took place at
IN east Clay street yesterday morning
when Mr. Walter 4. Russell was married
TO Mrs. Margaret T.. Donnaly Rev r. r.
Wilson. pastor Of the Clay-Street Metho-
dist church. officiating.
The ceremony WAS performed at $50
O'Clock. and the married couple left by
the Chesapeake and ohio train for a
northern trip.
This marriage has something of a
novelty, II not a romance, surrounding
it, aud though il was known by the
friends Of the parties that MI Russell
had been quite attentive 10 Mrs. Don
rally for quite long time. their union
came as a great surprise 10 them, partly
fu' the reason that the groom is only
tWenty-siX years Of age and the bride
forty.
An afternoon paper published that Mr.
Russell had married Miss Ida DOnnalN
whereas il was her mother who became
the blushing bride.
Mrs. Donaally was for a long time the
cashier at the Atlantic Coast Line eat
ing-roOm at the Byrd-street station.
and her acquaintance with Ny Russell
commenced two years ago. when he Was
assistant ticket agent for the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad at
that station. Since that time he entered
the freight department Of the same road
and now holds a Clerkship at the freight
department. on Broad street.
II is thought by the friends of the two
parties that there had been an attachment
between them for some time but the
ia t that Mrs. DOnnally had a husband
living was a bar TO their happiness. She
made more than one attempt TO procure
a divorce and very short time since
succeeded in securing a legal separation
Mr. Allen W. DOnnally. the divorced
husband. is an old veteran and an in
mate Of the Confederate Soldiers Home
in this city.
Mr. Russell is half-brother Of EX-
Postmaster Otis III. Russell. and he is a
young man who is very popular and has
a host Of friends in this city.

AT THE THEATER.
Nat Goodwin Given an Enthusiastic
Reception.

Nat Goodwin was given a reception
last night of which any actor might well
be proud. It was his first appearance
here in thirteen years. The applause he
received was a merited tribute to his
genius. "A Gilded Fool" is re-
garded as Mr.. Goodwin's best play. 1t
Is the story OF a young man inheriting
wealth after life of poverty and spend
ing 1t with lavish hand until, touched
by love, his thoughts turn to ambitious
purposes. There is laughter from begin
ming to end, but at every turn the ''Gilded
Fool" touches the heart with the most
tender emotions by the golden alloy of hui
manity that predominates in his compost
tion. The author and the actor seem to
have been born for each other. There
are lines and sentiments in the play that
are as sweet as the most fragrant bios
SONS OF nature and coming from the lips
OF Nat Goodwin seem as natural as the
rose on its parent stem.
Then the laugh comes as quickly and
as appropriately as the sunshine after the
April shower. And but Goodwin with all
his rare versatility could make that tran
sition from tears to smiles without the
slightest jarring of the tender emotions of
the truest heart. But the words without
the acting would be like a play without
the setting. Some of the most eloquent
appeals to the heart are made through
the expression and the pose of the hero,
and there are situations where silence is
indeed golden.
MIR. Goodwin's company is an excellent
one. The people with which he has sur
rounded himself are actors of ability
In the company is Miss Minnie Dupree
who is known to almost every theater-
goer here, through her summer en-
gagements with the Fords
a number of years ago, and later in
Shenandoah.
Mr., Goodwin will be seen tonight in a
double BILL "Gringoire, " and "The Nomi-
nee" THE Nominee, - in which ne has
made the greatest hit of his career. is one
OF the most delightful comedies ever pre-
sented on the stage.

SAYS SHE WAS BOUGHT OFF.
Report That a Society Woman Wanted
Howard Gould For Her Daughter.

The sensational stories in connection
with. the engagement between Miss
Odette Tyler, known here as Miss Kirk
land, and Howard Gould have by no
means subsidized. The breaking off of the
Howard Gould-Tyler engagement still
engrosses the gossips, says a New York
paper. The story leaked out that a GER
tain well-known woman in New York So
ciety, who is the mother of an estimable
young daughter, went to the trouble and
expense of sending an agent down south
to fortify herself II possible, with evidence
as 20 Miss Tyler's character, which she
intended to send to the head of the fam
ing off the match Ho ward Gould did
not know who the agent was or who sent
him south. Neither did George Gould,
but it is understood that Miss Tyler not
only learned his identity, but also dis
covered the name of the person who sent
him to Savannah. She chafed under this
system of espionage, and decided that she
would rather release Mr. Gould from his
engagement than submit to criticism.
Ever since the engagement was broken
stories have been floating around TO the
effect that Miss Tyler received a large
sum of money in consideration of the re-
lease. These stories are as Indignantly
denied by the member of the Gould fam
lily as they are by Miss Tyler The sums
named in this connection run anywhere
from $4,000 to sl00, 900 1t can be safely
stated, however that Miss Tyler released
Howard Gould from his obligation volun-
tarily. Manager Frohman says Miss Ty-
Ter is very i'll woman. She has gone to
a health resort in Virginia to take a
needed rest
