A CALIFORNIA WEDDING.

The Los Angeles (Cal.) Capital of Oc-
tober 10 gives the following account
of the G~rifith-Wedemeyer nuptials,
which will be read with interest here,
where the bride is we'll and favorably
known:
St. Paul's church was thrOnged last We'd
nesday evening by the many friends assem-
bled to witness the nuptials of Adele Jose
phine Wedemeyer and John Tomlinson Grit
fifth. The stately edifce was empowered in
Hymen boughs and vestal flowers, the chan
Gel having a wainscot of greens starred with
snowy chrysanthemums. while the rails and
desk were also dressed with fair blossoms,
smilax and asparagus plumosus tied effect
lively with broad white ribbons. Mr.. Dunster,
the church o~rganist, gave two or three selec-
lions preluditory to the Lohengrin wedding
march.
Promptly at eight the bridal cortege en-
tered and moved slowly down the aisle to be
met at the altar by the groom aand his best
man. Captain William Banning. The ushers,
Messrs. William R. Stats, Frank G. Schu-
macher, H. w, Latham and John H. Schu-
macher, preceded the maid of honor, Miss
Carrie Waddilove. unusually lovely in ribbon
patterned canary brocade and chiffons; and
lastly the bride, leaning on the arm of her
soldierly father, and all that was beautiful.
in her shimmering flowing robes, laces and
enveloping .tulle veil. Yellow and white
chrysanthemums were worn and carried by
the entire party. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. John Gray, rector of ST.
Paul's.
Immediately following the church rites a
brilliant reception was held at the Wede-
meyer residence on South AIvarado street.
The house had been deliberately decorated
with white and yellow chrysanthemums
brought out by papyrus, smilax and similar
plants and vines lending themselves grace
fully to the adornment of the rooms. Mr..
and Mrs. Griffith received in the front draw
ing room surrounded and arched over with
feathery chrysanthemum balls, relieved with
greens and intermingled and tied with lovers
knots Of ribbon. Punch was served On the
front piazza which had been enclosed and
lighted with soft-shedding lamps. The entire
garden had also been canvased in I'M foOred
over to include the flowers and shrubs, max
ing a most charming refectOry. Supper was
served from the small tables encircling the
room, they and the larger one in the center
being frightened up by yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and maiden hair fern. Christopher
catered and Lowinsky's orchestra furnished
delightful music.
The young couple are well known in Los
Angeles, being prominent member of our
best society. The bride is the only daughter
of Major and Mrs. William G. Wedemeyer,
the Major being a retired officer of renown
who served with credit to his country all
through the war. The groom is a son of John
C. Griffith, the well known lumberman and
an old citizen, and is a highly respected
young man, whose nan friends wish him
and his lovely wife much happiness in their
new life which began so auspiciously last
Wednesday.

Fifteen years ago the second story
rooms of n wing Of the City hotel
rejoiced in the euphonious and well
deserved title of "Bedbug Row." Eter-
nal vigilance and unlimited poison
enabled the landlord to keep the re-
mainder of the house fairly free from
insect life, but the bugs had long held
absolute sway on the Row and refused
to be expelled. After many futile ef-
forts to dislodge them their title came
to be generally recognized as regular
and legal. To thoserooms only guests
of the rougher-or perhaps poorer
element were assigned. Traditions of
the size and ferocity of those bugs
that would put to shame the most
extravagant Of Jersey mosquito tales
are still extant. Old residents declare
that in those days a stout club was
considered Indispensable as an article
of room furniture on the Row. Ere
quent dodgers, it is told, learned to
gain partial immunity from attack
on retiring by setting out scraps OF
meat on a plate and gOrglng the bugs
into Quiescence. Some comrades IN
misfortune used to take turns with
one another in sleeping and standing
guard, and a certain lngenlOu farmer
from Marquette county always
brought a hammock with him, when
he came to town, until the bugs got
onto him, literally and figuratively
speaking, by climbing the walls and
sliding down the ropes. But these
were exceptions; nights of terror were
the rule.
One evening in 1880, the night clerk
brought from a train a tall, bewhisk-
cred old granger, rather shabOlly
dressed, who announced that he had
been away on some stock business
and was then homeward bound. He
would put up for the night and take
the early morning train. The house
happened to be crowded that night
and few available rooms were left.
The clerk, noting his rough exterior,
mentally decided to assign the
stranger to a room on the Row. Al
ter half an hours conversation, In
which the clerk was surprised to find
the Genial old fellow remarkably well
posted on politics and general topics,
he desired to be shown to bed. The
two started for the fatal stairway,
y en- it occurred to his clerkshlp that
the guest had not registered. So back
to the desk they went and a line of
the well-thumbed register was decor
ated with this in a bold and flowing
hand: Jeremiah M. Rusk, Viroqua."
The clerk looked at the signature
and nearly tainted. He knew a thing
or two. 1t is not necessary to add,
perhaps, that Uncle Jerry sleptin the
neat parlor on the first floor and
never knew of the awful fate averted
by a mere chance.-Portage Democrat.

SAILED THE SEAS 50 YEARS.
One of His Experiences.

For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed
the sea, most Of that time as master of a YES
sci, and upon retiring from the water was ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the United States
Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries in
Alaska, which position he held five years. He
relates one experience as follows:
For several years 1 had been troubled with
general nervousness and pain in the region
Of my heart. Ny greatest affection was
sieeplessness; it was almost impossible at any
time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen
DR.. Miles remedies advertised I began using
Nervine. After taking a small quantity the
benefit received was SO great that 1 was posi-
lively alarmed, thinking the remedy con-
tanned opiates which would finally be fnjuri-
Gus to me; but on being assured by the drug
gist that it was perfectly harmless, I contin-
ued it together with the Heart Cure. Today
/ can co~nscientiously say that DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine and New Heart Cure did
more for me than anything I had ever taken.
I had been treated by eminent physicians
In New York and San Francisco without ben

The mWatertown" Club.


CHICAGO, October p, 1867 6itor
Republican: During the past five or six
years the number of WATERFOWL people
who have become residents of the city
of Chicago has rapidly increased until
now probably Us are citizens of this
city. Some four years ago it occurred
to some ofthe "boys" that it would not
only be enjoyable but the proper thing
to perpetnate the friendships found in
the old home by having some sort of
society here. This desire finally in
fuenced Messrs, Emil Habhegger, W.
G.. KurzWeg and H. j. NJ. Schroeder to
call a meeting of the men whose ad-
dresses were at hand, and the meeting
resulted in the formation of 1.-The Wa
tertown, Wis, Social Club of Chicago"
with the following officers: v. H.
Paraski, president; Emil Habhegger,
vice-president; j. F. Werlich, secre-
tary; II. j. NJ. Schroeder, treasurer.
Several meetings have been held since
and the membership, which was but
sixteen at first, has now beenincreased
to sixty.
The first social event called to life
by this organization was an informal
t'stag party" given at Jung's hall. 1O6
Randolph street, October Is, last. The
following were gathered about the fest
i've board on that occasion:

AS far as the writer is aware no such
gathering has ever taken place before,
and if there has no such enthusiasm
ever prevailed on a like occasion.
