Two Weddings.
Two couples Of Bismarck's we'll known
and popular young people were united
in marriage Wednesday. At the residence
of the brides parents, on First street,
occurred the ceremony which united Mr..
S. NJ. Pye and Miss Lorine Allen. The
wedding was q quiet one, none but rela-
tives and n or two intimate friends Of
the couple being present. Rev. Durrie
performed the ceremony, and the couple
left on the early morning train for st.
Paul, Faribault and other Minnesota
points on their wedding tour. A num-
Der of friends assembled at the Sheridan
before the train arrived, and gave them
a hearty farewell as they started upon
their journey. Both bride and groom
have1a large circle of ac~quaintances
in the city. Mr.. Pye is assistant
cashier of the Capital National bank,
and a young man of sterling worth and
merit, and sound business ability, who
is generally popular, both socially and
in a business way. The bride has been
a resident of the city for several years,
wa formerly employed in the depart
ment of insurance at the capitol, and is
a bright and attractive young lady, a
social favorite, who has a host of friends.
The s%incerest of congratulations and
good wishes are extended from all sides.
At the residence of W. Glitschka, on
Sixth street, occurred the wedding of his
daughter, Edythe, to Mr.. Israel H. Rob
inson, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. A. Durrie. The two young PEG.
pie thus united in marriage have grown
up in the city, attended school together,
and the wedding is the pleasing consum-
nation OF an acquaintance which dates
from childhood. Mr.. Robinson is deputy
treasurer of Emmons county, a trusted
and efficient official, and is everywhere
known and liked. The bride is the
daughter of w. Glitschka, n of the
Oldest citizens of the city, a young lady
in every way admirable, who has been a
bright and vivacious member of the
younger social circle. Friends of the
two will extend hearty good wishes for
the future happiness and success in the
journey through life thus a~uspiciously
begun together.
Grifath's Faust"
At the Atheneum Wednesday q good
sized audience enjoyed the presentation
of Goethe's immortal conception
"Faust"-by Mr.. John Griffith and com
pany. AS Mephisto, Griffith is a success
full delineator of the craft and artifce
which might be employed by the spirit
OF evil to induce the commission of crime.
He has a good stage presence, and a
c~ountenance so expressive as to assist
him materially in the successful repre-.
sentation of the character he assumes.
Cunning and crafty in persuasion, adept
in fattery, s%ervile, fawning and cringing
as a servant, and relentless, merciless
and memorable as a master, his was an
excellent personitication of the spirit
which INCREASINGLY defes. His work has
improved since his last appearance here,
and there is a pleasing absence of an
undesirable mounting of words in the
closing of his climatic efforts, which was
too noticeable upon his first presentation
of the play here. Altogether it may be
said of Griffith that he has a good CON
ception of the rather intricate combina
ton of cunning, specious reasoning,
hypocrisy and concealed malignancy of
purpose which enters into the character
of a personal devil, and is successful in
carrying out his conception. Hissupport
was fair, although with both Faust and
Marguerite more nature and a little less
acting would have been an improvement.
Martha was, perhaps, the most valuable
assistant in his supporting company.
The orchestra contributed, materially to
the enjoyment Of the evening.
A Surprise.
The friends and neighbors Of Mrs.
Oscar H. Will, together with the ladies
Of the Episcopal guild, OF which she has

scoop, in token Of their regret at her iap-
preaching departure from the city, and
