gagged, but society was left to speculate,
for Mr. Whitney kept his own counsel and
did not conEde in his most Intimate
friends. 1t was not until yesterday that
no choso 90 make his angaRement and an
tiolpated wedding public. In the letter to
his secretary he has not chosen to make
any Of the details of the wedding known.
Mr.. Whitney's son, Harry Payne, with

Adirondacks- She is slightly indisposed,
which prevented her attending the we'd

trangement in the family on account Of

captain in the Fifteenth hussars, com
monty called the Queens Own. She was
originally Miss Edith S. May and is first
cousin to Herman Oelrichs, also TO Mrs.
Colonel william Jay. She is the mother

report that they were TO become husband
and wife has been printed several times,

TO be married was when young Cornelius

sailed back to Europe. Now 10 is reported
from the other side that she has been at
tending to her trousseau and that she will
return to this country about the middle OF
next month TO be married TO the doctor.
