A WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE
Great Wealth Will Be Gathered About
the Altar
All the VanderbiIts Will Be in Attendancc--An
Outlay Of Over $4,000 900 for
the Nuptiais

NEW YORK. May 27.-The opening
days of June will bring the richest people
in the land to Lenox among the Berk-
shire hills. Greater wealth will be rep
resented at the marriage of Adele Wand
erbilt Sloane to J.. Abercrombie Burden
than the weddings of John Jacob Astor
and Count Boniface dc Castellane COM
bined could boast. There will be gath
ering of the family of Nanderbilts--Co

George each with $50. 600, 900 or more
Mrs. W. Seward Webb Mrs. Elliot f..
each with easily S15, QUO, 900 or more, and
Mrs. William IL. Vanderbilt, grand
mother of the bride, who is rated as the
richest American widow. The wealth of
the bridegroom $ parents exceeds $40. .000.
900, and that OF the parents of the bride
is conservatively put at $50, 900. 900. the
groom is rich by inheritance and has a
magnificent home on the Hudson near
the iron works which have made the
Burdens millions.
But after all is said about diamonds
and millions the best thing about this
wedding is that no foreigner with a soiled
title, tainted blood and load of debts
has anything to do with 1T. They are
couple of Americans. and they are deeply
and devouty in love with each other and
have been for year.
The wedding. taking into account the
presents and the dresses and the func-
tions. will represent an outlay of over
$1,000. 600. The Goulds beggared descrip-
tton at the De Castelane affair, but the
Vanderblts will certainly send it to the
almshouse. A mere list of the people
who will attend-and there will be guests
by the trainload- would read like the
cream of the income tax lists.
Miss Sloane's trousseau is simply a
revelation. There is everything in it that
ever was thought of in connection with a
trousseau. IL costs, including the pearl
trimmings, about $4,000.

insist that being enrolled in the militia
exempts them from ompulsory service in
the regular army. Others adopt the sub
terfuge that they will only serve in their
own regiments and under their respective
officers and will resist any attempt to de-
prive them of their rights.
When it is considered that many of
these included in General Campos' order
have attained the rank of captain of mil
jtia since their arrival in Cuba, and also
tnat substitutes will not be accepted as
heretofore. their protest appears to be
well grounded. Naturally these officers
will have to serve as privates.
Several stormy interviews have been re-
ported between colonies and volunteers
and the authorities over the matter. The
former upheld their men in the stand
they took. and the fact that they repre-
sent the more prominent and influential

the situation. 1t is declared that if the

mutiny will take place, and as the volun-

This board shall discuss all industrial
and statistical matters and assign to each
the lines On which work contempla ted
by the law shall be performed. This will
do away with several state officers labor
