Che Ex-president Will Marry Mrs.
Dimmick.

New York. Ian. 2U.-The fact that
Gen. Harrison had an important state
ment to make drew a large crowd or
politicians and others to the corridors
Of the Fifth Avenue hotel today.
Many Of the politicians expected that
Gen. Harrison would make a declara-
ton as 10 his candidacy for h presi-
iency. and We're disappointed when
they heard that the general talked or
matrimonial affairs instead Of politics.
At the appointed time Mr.. Tibbitts,
the generals private secretary. made
the following statement in his room.
where he received the members OF the
press:
Gen. Harrison authorizes the an
nOuncement that he and Mrs. Dim
mick are engaged to be married, and
that the marriage will not take place
until after Lent"
When the secretary finished reading
the announcement, he refused TO say
anything further other than that eX-
President Harrison would probably
leave for indianapolis on Monday, re-
turning to Washington In time to ar
que the Stanford law suit. During the
life OF Mrs. Harrison, her aunt. Mrs.
Himmick. practically governed Mr..
HarriSon's household in indianapolis,
and directed the household affairs OF
the White House during the period
that Mrs. Harrison was Ill. At all
state functions she received with Mrs.
Harrison. Mrs. Dimmick is 40 years
Of age, tall, and "A s~trikingly handsome
brunette.
