QUEER MOCK MARRIAGE.
The Result of n Peculiar Difference
In State Marriage Laws.

The Result of n Peculiar Difference
In State Marriage Laws.
From the Chicago Record.
What purported to be the wedding of
DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan and Miss Anna
Laura Barber of Chicago ct Akron, Ohio,
was only a mock marriage. Probably not
six OF the guests who were present knew
that this was the true state of affairs. The
matter has been kept a profound secret
ard it was interded that it should remain
SO. The facts are follows:
Last Wednesday DIR Bevan secured mar
ria ge license in Chicago. After he had Sc
cured it he learned that by the laws of
Ohio it was impossible for a clergyman to
outside state. Mr. 0. c. Barber, the father
of the bride. was informed of this fact by
wire. He Immediately went to the probate
office In Akron and made application for a
license. When Judge Stuart asked him if
Miss Barber was a resident of the county
he replied that she was not, but that her
home was in Chicago. This again placed
stop to performing the ceremony in Sum-
nit county. The arrangements for the wed
ding in Akron had already been completed
and the invitations issued. The parties were
in quandary as to what to do.
Last Thursday night Miss Barber left Ak
ron. Her most intimate friends supposed
she had gone to Cleveland to make pur-
chases. No one but relatives knew that
her destination was Chicago. She arrived
there Friday morning and was met by the
groom. They went together to the Lakota
Hotel, where words were pronounced that
made them husband and wife. The father
OF Miss Barber and relatives of DR.. Bevan
were present. Mrs. Bevan returned to Bar
berton the same evening, reaching there
Saturday morning. The secret was most
carefully guarded, and no one but the rela-
t1ves were any the wiser.
The ceremony that night was just as
brilliant and real fhOnph sa1
bride and groom were not actually already
married. The mock wedding took place
in Barberton Inn. palatial hotel erected
a few years since. DR.. Bevan's bride is the
daughter of MIR. Oiin c. Barber, the mil
lionaire match manufacturer, president of
the Diamond Match Company and largely
interested in other extensive manufactur-
ing concerns.

"And then. again, the stories of Mr..
Grants poverty at ST. Louis" Mrs. Grant
went on. "a great deal has been made of
his having hauled wood from our farm to
the city. 1t is true that he often took a
load of weed with him when he went into
the city. We lived, you know, not far from
st. Louis, and load. of wood was worth
from five to six dollal<. We had no money
to throw away at that time, but still we
had plenty to live upon very comfortably.
My father had given me the farm, and we
had very good home and all we really
needed
'Did Gen. Grant care for money!
mo" replied Mrs. Grant: II think not.
He was very charitable, and he often want
ed me to give away n. ore than did"
He must have been good husband" I
said.

piled Mrs. Grant He was Kind. true and
husbands that ever lived"

II have often wondered, Mrs. Grant, as to
whether the general was Christian. and
as to what he thought about future state"
Eyes. he believed in Christianity" replied
Mrs. Grant. 'He went to church regularly.
remember he always liked to be at church
on time, and would be much annoyed II
was not ready. During his stay in the
White House he attended DR.. Newman's
Church, the Methodist Church. though he
sometimes went to DIR. Sunderland's, which
Is, you know. a Presbyterian church."
rDid Grant ever think that the war would
go the other way?'
II think he realized that It might" replied
Mrs. Grant but he did not worry about the
future. He did what he had to do. He laid
out his plans, and worked with all his might
to carry them out, borrowing no trouble as
to what possibly might occur later on.''

Mr.. Gratobar ON Fishing.

II think" said Mi. Gratobar, "that
tho talent for fishing, like many other
talents, is n gift. No doubt the true
fisherman. like the poet, is born, not
nnde. Fishing is II faculty that can be
cultivated, like many others; one can
learn by rote about tackle and bats
and tides and so on, but when it comes
to actual ccntact with the fish there
comes i'll the art Of the fisherman. The
fact is that some men can catch fish
and some can't. I'M one Of those who
cannot; timo and ngain 1 have sat in n
boat alongside Of men catching lots of
fish and caught none or next to none
But love TO go fishing, all the same"
