The day and the event most beautifully
harm onized, when Chas. A. Spiess led to
the altar, at St. Paul's Episcopal church,
little before noon to-day and in the
presence of a densely packed congrega-
ton of loving friends, Miss Ruby Lynch,
one of the Las Vegas most beautiful,
amiable and generally admired daughters.
The groom is too well known, as one of
the most promising of the rising young
attorneys of the territory, to need intro
duction to the readers of the Optic.
The impressive ceremony of the Epis-
copal church was chsrmingly rendered
by Rev. F. T. Bennett, priest in charge of
the church of the Holy Faith, of Santa Fe,
the sacredness of the place and occasion
not being marred, as Is too often the
case, by profusion of floral decorations
and ornaments. The Lohengrn wedding
march was played by Max Nordhaus, at
the organ, and Prof. Groeshner, on the
violin. Hon. I. B. Catron, New Mexico's
congressional delegate, gave the bride
away, while Levi A. Hughes was the
groom's best man, and Miss Sadie Holz-
man, the bridesmaid.
The contracting parties met in the
body of the church, where the betrothal
cerem onies were performed, the compile.
ton of the service taking place at the
sanctuary railing. The bride was becom.

ing suit, with white silk vest, and hat to
match; while the bridesmaid, clad in
brown broadcloth, with green bodice, and
hat to match, was even more handsome
than usual, the two being the most lovely
illustrations of the blonde and brunette
styles of beauty.
No invitations had been issued, yet the
crowded church spoke eloquently of the
high esteem in which this.
holds the bride, as did the numerous and
costly bridal gifts which graced the coca.
sion. One only of these, the one which
will be most deeply cherished by her
the Optic will mention. 1t was an elegant
diamond brooch, the gift of the groom.
The Optic unites with the other mem.
bers of the community in wishing the
full fruition of their hopes to Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. A. Spiess.-Las Vegas Optic.
