of the possession of such wealth, and
is emulating the character of Cor

she might be termed a brunette by many,

full in appearance. She is below the
average height, with a nice figure, and
has small features. Her eyes are blue,
and she has a mass of fluffy golden
hair Miss Richardson and Miss Gould
were always chummy at school, and
this accounts for her being brides
maid. Very possibly they exchanged
the usual girhsh vows that the one
first married should be attended by the
other as bridesmaid. Miss Richardson
will, no doubt, look very pretty in the

to wear.

Chief of the ushers at the wedding
is to be Brockholst Cutting. This was
all that was lacking of Importance to
the impending nuptials. Brockholst
Cutting has been best man or usher as
far as can be recalled at all of the
really notable matrimonial events for
years.
Every expectant bridegroom in the
least nervous feels it a great comfort
when Brockholst Cutting consents to
be an usher. for they know such is
his savoir faire that all will go Sc
renely.
Those who will share the honor and
the labor of acting as ushers at this
much-discussed wedding are Howard

friends, and the Prince del -Drago Of

SOFT WEATHER PUTS A STOP TO
LUMBERING.
BIG LOSS TO LoGGERs
billions of Feet of Timber VII.
Not Be Got Out of the
Woods.

BLACK RIVER FALLS. Wis. Feb.
26.-The soft weather has completely
ruined the logging roads in this yicfn-
ity, and as a result millions of feet of
timber will remain on the sideways
over summer. The winter has been
unusually short, not to exceed thirty
days of good hauling weather, and if
this is the end of the season, and
things look exceedingly so at present,
the crop will be at least 40 per cent
short of the proposed seasons cut.
Owing to the extensive fires that ragged
through this section of the state last
summer millions of feet of timber will
be ruined, ,as most of it has been cut and
is now on the skid, there to remain
over summer, which means almost a
total loss.
CUMBERLAND, Wis, Feb. 26.-The
lumber camps in this region will all
break up tomorrow on account of the
late warm weather. Many lumbermen
have not completed their hauling, and
their loss will be heavy, unless they get
more snow and cold weather.
ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. &c. The
weather has set in very warm, and
practically stopped all hauling in the
woods, and several thousand. men will
leave the logging camps in this viein
ity. The season was cutSxery short.

STORY OF THE coURTsHIP.
Count First Fell in Love With
the Fair American at the
Grand PpiX.
ENGAGEMENT RING ARRIVES
Short Sketch Of the Quartette
of Beautiful Brides
maids.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-There now
seems to be no doubt that Miss Anna
Gould, who is soon to marry Count
Boniface Castellane, will become a
convert to the Roman Catholic faith.
A close relation of the Gould family,
who is thoroughly posted on all the
family confidential affairs, today
gave out the above information.
YES" said he, sit is no secret
in the family that Miss Anna will
eventually join the Roman Catholic
faith. 1t will only be the natural
consequence of things, and I don't
see how it could turn out any other
way. The conversion will take place
after she reaches the other side and
has become identified with the life
of the family into which she is
shortly to marry"
At a tea yesterday, which was at
tended by Miss Anna Gould and
Count Castellane, this little story of
the courtship was related by hand
some matron, who said she was in
Paris when the count met Miss
Gould, chaperoned by Miss Anna
Reed, sister of Mrs. Paran Stevens.
They met again at the Grand PriX.
There the acquaintance was contin-
ued, and the count showed his de-
cided preference for the fair Amer
lean. In some way Miss Gould be-
came separated from her party for
a moment, and to this day in Paris
the story is going the social rounds
that the host of the Grand PriX
party, while hurriedly looking for
her, met a friend, who, commenting
on his haste, received the reply that
"ten millions was lost" Paris pa
pers next morning were filled with
the accounts Of the affair, supppos-
ing the sum had been lost in the
betting ring, not understanding the
facetiously- inclined host.
AS TO A. CATHEDRAL WEDDING.
Father Connolly, secretary to
Archbishop Corrigan, said today he
had heard nothing in regard to the
statement that the Marquis de Cas-
tellane had cabled to Rome and
asked for a special dispensation in
order that the marriage could be
celebrated in st. Patrick s. cathedral
He said he did not believe it, for
such dispensatioion could be OBJ
tained from Archbishop Corrigan as
well as from Rome. Such a mar
riage-a union between a Catholic
and a Protestant-had never been
celebrated in a Roman Catholic
church in the parish of New York

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
Harry HawIey Will Manage the
Chicago Times-HeraId.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 25.-The Jour
naPs washington correspondent says:
James w. Scott, who was here, says
that the Chicago Times will merge
into the Chicago Herald next Mon
day, and that Mr.. Hawley, at present
one of the proprietors Of the Times,
will become managing editor of the
Herald, H. w. Seymour, who now
holds that position, being placed in
charge of the TimeS-Heralds editorial
pages"
The Journal adds that Mr.. Scott does
not know that Mr.. Seymour, who for
ten years has been managing editor OF
the Herald, has declined to accept a
subordinate position on the forth
coming Times-Herald; but it is pretty
certainly known here that such is the
fact. 1t is understood that Mr.. Sey-
mours resignation has been in Mr..
Hawley's hands for several days.
Mr.. Seymour, who is about forty
years of age, is a practical printer,
who learned his trade in Racine, Wis.
About twenty years ago he came to
Chicago and obtained lease" on the
Times, and soon after became fore>
man, and subsequently night editor.

He is a nephew of the late Horatio
Seymour, Of New York.
There is a rumor that the Post, which
has already been. reduced in size, is
to be called the Evening Times Herald
and sold for one cent; but nobody in
the absence of Mr.. Scott will confirm it.
