WASHINGTON, ID. o., April 29.-Ihe
wed ding of Hon. George Nathaniel Curzon,
MP, and Miss Mary Letter was celebrated
at st. Johns Episcopal Church at 11:30
o'clock to-day amid scenes of such bril-
liancy and in the presence OF such dis
tinguished assemblage of Cabinet officers,
diplomats, Governors and Bishops as gives
the event the character OF a public cere-
mOny.
The church was filled and surrounded by
a curious crowd.
The ushers were Joseph Letter, brother
of the bride, and Frank Curzon, brother of
the groom.
Mrs. Cleveland occupied seat IN the
forward part of the church.
The President did not appear, as it Is an
unwritten law that the Executive shall not
attend private social events.
The wedding party moved up the main
aisle to the chancel, where Bishop Talbot
and Rev. DR.. Mackay Smith officated.
The bride, in white satin and rare white
lace, carrying a cluster of white orchids,
was on the arm of her father.
The bridesmaids, Misses Mamie and
Daisy Letter, wore pink tulle gowns, with
large pink null hats, and carried large
bouquets of pink roses. The groom and
Mrs. Letter, Sir James and Lady Miller and
Lord Harrington, the groom's best man,
Joseph Letter and Frank Curzon completed
the party.
After the marriage service of the Epis-
copal church the wedding party withdrew
to the Letter residence, where they were
Joined later by relatives and intimate

A large force of policemen were on duty
outside the church, but it was with diff
ficulty that the crowd could be held in
check. A solid mass of people, mainly
women, blocked the sidewalks and streets,
SO that the carriages bringing the guests
had to force their way to the church en-
trance under escort of the officers. There
was such rush when the carriage of Mrs.
Cleveland and that of the bride arrived
that women screamed and tainted and for
time there threatened to be panic. No
accidents occurred, however, although the
crush resulted in many torn and dis
| heveled garments.
