OF all the wealthy American girls who

Mondays, bride may be truthfully said to
be far ahead of them in point Of good
looks. Miss Mary Letter Is handsome
young woman. whose style of beauty is
such thet her presence in any social gath
ering instinctively draws attention to her
charms. She has face full Of character,
expressive eyes, but to be seen at her best
she must be smiling. Her usual expression
is rather too serious for one on whom all
the delightful things in life have been so
freely lavished, and whose travels, reading.
etc, have helped SO greatly to the intelli-
gent enjoyment Of them. She has all the
pleasing attributes of mind and person to
make her a great success in English socf-
ETY.. but she has also more than that-good
common sense and the repose Of character
which will make her the queen of a happy
home Miss Letter Ia a good hnguist. sings

The ceremony at st. Johns takes place

cort his daughter to the chancel. Lord
Harrington will stand up with the couple
and Mr. Curzon will be also attended by his
brother, Hon. Frank Curzon.
Among the guests will be Mrs. Cleveland,
who is an intimate friend of the bride, the
entire cabinet circle and many of the for
eign ambassadors and ministers stationed
here. Gov. Morton of New York, accom-
panied by his family. will also come to
Washington for the occasion. Large par
ties Of guests from Boston, New York,
Chicago and elsewhere, including Bishop
Of New York, ex-Secretary Robert Lincoln
of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Vanderbilt Of New York. will be present.
Aside from the presence of officials and
diplomats, there will be picturesque touch
to the event by the costumes of those in
the wedding procession. The bride will look
unusually handsome in her wedding gown
of white satin and lace She will
carry white orchids, and will wear the
groom's gift a diamond brooch. Her SIS
tiers have received from the groom dia-
mond pins, which they will wear. Their
gowns are to be Of pink null and pink

ISOLATION.
Mr.. Curzon is to be envied for his good
fortune. He has made a very pleasing
impression with the friends of the Letter
family with whom he has come in contact
the past three days. He is a gOod-looking
man. and, in England. is said to move with
the air of one not unaware OF that fact.
The ante-nuptial festivities, the succession
of dinners and luncheons at which he has
assisted, have not left him much time to
see the sights of the capital, except while
driving; but there will be some little leisure
reserved for this before he leaves the coun-
try. He has had, however. chance to see
how thoroughly the bike has entered
into the fashionable routine in the West
End With the rest of the men now guests
at the Letter mansion and the young ladies
of the family and few other iEtimates,
the last two mornings have been spent
either at a cycling school or on the sub
urban roads In enjoyment OF the wheel.
With these and similar diversions and
pleasant ways of killing time. interviews
with the family solicitor and visit to the
city hall to procure marriage license,
time has not so far hung heavily on the
hands of the man who is so soon to take
away the charming American.
The scholarly ,ttainments of Mr.. Curzon
and his diplomatic and political achieve
ments are now well known in this country
ty the constant repetition of the facts the
last month or SO. The praise and esteem
in which he Is held is well deserved, for
his success, gagged by his years. has been
tremendous. His books are held as STAN

treat. He has been in parliament since

after a lingering illness.
Mr. Keeling was born in Comanche
Camp. Cal, in 1863, and came to Walla
Walla with his parents at an early age
He first came into public prominence
i'm 1888, when he was elected city clerk.
and has held that position continuously
until his death. He has been prominent
ly identified with every public improve
ment and demonstration in the city and
county for - years, and was a man
whose sterling integrity, generosity and
capability made warm friends of every
one with whom he came in contact. He
was president of the Walla Walla Fire
Association; a member of the odd Eel
lows, Masons and Knights of Pythias;
chairman of the democratic county CEN
trail committee; a moving spirit in the
Whitman Historical Society and Pion-
eer Association. He had taken first rank
as a statistician. He was a graphic and
entertaining writer and his work will
be of great value to Walla Walla and

STIRRING EvENTsAT CAMP HANCOCK
Contests Between Infantry Companies
Midnight Attack and n Grand BAH.

St. Louis, July 6.-Rain fell last night
and until noon today, converting Camp
Hancock into a sea of mud. 1t was gov
ernor's day, and despite the rain and mud
good sized crowd turned out to see the
big events. The contest today was be
tween infantry companies in the maiden
class. The Bullene guards. Captain Wag-
mar. Kansas city; National Rifles, First
Lieutenant Joseph Manson Washington;
Phoenix light infantry Captain John A.
Miller, Dayton, o.; Company II, First in
fantry, Missouri National guards, com
peted.
The troops in the camp We're reviewed
by Governor w. j. Stone of Missouri and
visiting magistrates. These were present:
Governor w. A. Richards and staff, wy
oming; Governor a. Holcomb and staff
Nebraska: Judge Advocate General
Meany, representing Governor G. r.
Werts of New Jersey; Governor \. W
Mcintyre and STAFF, Colorado
This evening, after the sun had gone
down and the camp was in darkness and
supposed to be wrapped in slumber the
long roll was sounded and the troops We're
turned out to repel an attack. For half
an hour or more there was a thrilling
encounter between the soldiers of the
sleeping garrison and the attacking party.
The firing in the darkness by the batter
les and companies and the shouts and
commands of either side lent an air Of
reality to the affair.
A brilliant ball in honor of the officers
of the companies in camp, Governor Stone
and the visiting governors and their staffs
was given after the sham battle this ev-
ening in the Jockey clubhouse on the
camp grounds by the sponsors and maids
of honor.
