NEW YORK, Nov. -. --Une of the prin-
cipal society events of the year, second
in interest and magn ificence only to the

was the marriage Of Miss Pauline Payne

celebrated at noon today in St. Thomas
church in the presence OF q distinguished
company of guests which included Presi-
dent Cleveland and SECRETARIES Lamont

very young. has been known in the So
ciety of this country and Europe for tw 0
years past. She is the daughter If the
Hon. William U. Whitney. who was secre-
tay OF the navy in the first Cleveland adj
ministration, and is one of the wealthiest
men in New York. Additional interest

Every detail OF the ceremony today
was arranged on scale of costly magnIi-
cenUe. Not oniv were the floral decora-
lions of the church most handsome, but
the music was very much out of the CON-
mon, because of the appearance of Ed
Guard de Reszke. the famous basso, and
Nine. NOrdica, soprano from the Metro
politan opera company, with other oted
musicians.
The presence OF President Cleveland
and two m en- osrs of his cabinet, Score.
taries Lamont and Herbert, attracted great
crowds OF curious people to the neighbor-
hood OF the church and house, all OF
whom were anxious to get sight OF the
officials. and a args force of police was
necessary to preserve order.
At the wedding breakfast at Mr.. Whit
ney's house six hundred guests sat at
small tables in the library, reception
room and ball room. President Cleveland
sat at Whitney's right, Lady Colebrook,
Mr.. FACETS sister, was on the left. Pres
ideht Cleveland rose wnen coffee cana
and made one of the neatest little
speeches OF his life, so everyone says. He
wished the new married pair all future
happiness. He had known the bride
since she was little tot, and was con
vinced Of Mr.. Paget's sagacity by hi
selection of a wife. Nothing could hav,

of his friend, and the only regret was
that Mrs. Cleveland was not present to
behold the happy pair, to whose health
and prosperity he gave the toast.
