ciety OF Christian Endeavorers was formed
as recently as February 2, 1881, by the

Providence, r. l., yesterday morning, ut

Father McCabe, according to the program
laid out.
The baron is Catholic and Miss De Wolf
Protestant. The family decided that the
couple would be married in the morning
with the solemnities of the Catholic Church
aud that IN the evening the ceremony would
be duplicated by an Episcopal minister.
The announcement of. the two ceremonies
created a deal of comment. and there was
doutt expressed as to whether the Catholic
authorities would be a party Ia such an ar
rangement. When the question of the dual
ceremony was referred 10 the archbishop
of the diocese the decision was against the
ceremony. and Father McCabe had no al
