the mischief was all of a healthy kind,
childish desire to be always doing some
thing.
1t was in 1875 that Mrs. Lord and the
two girls moved from Springfield to
Princeton, N. j., and it was there that
Mamie Lord met the man who afterward
became her husband. The first five years
in Princeton the two sisters attended a
private school kept by a Mrs. Moffitt,
wife OF one of the professors of the theo-
logical school. To put the finishing
touches to her education she was sent for
short time to the female college at Ell,
she met Walter Erskine Djnmiok, son of
Samuel E. Dimmick, q wealthy lawyer,
and one of the political powers of Penn
sylvania.
The young people speedily fell in love,
but the parents Of each objected to all
talk of an engagement or matrimony be-
cause of their youth. This was in 1879,
and young Dimmick had not yet gradual
ed from the. Columbia Law School, where
he was completing his education. He
graduated in 1880 and became member
| of a New York law drm. After another
match had failed, the two took matters
into their own hands and eloped. Their
| marriage took place in October, 1881. and
| in the following January the young shus-
band was stricken with typhoid fever,
and died after brief illness. Mrs. Dim
mick was q vita less than three months.
Upon her husbands death she went
| to Washington, whore her mother and
grandfather had moved after her mar
riage. Her elder sister, lizzie. the beauty
of the family, had already married Lieu
tenant Parker. of the navy. Young Dim
mick had left fair sized fortune to his
widow, but much of this has been dissi-
patad by unfortunate Investments in
suburban Washington real estate. Mrs.
Dimmick still has a fair income.
During General Harrison's stay in
Washington as the nations chief execu-
tive Mrs. Dimmick figured prominently
in society and the affairs of the White
| House.
Mrs. Dimmick' sEwedding trousseau is
not very elaborate. She has never been
very fond of fine raiment and seldom
wears jewelry Of any kind. Rumor says
that she is to be married in a gown OF
gray silk, simply made in the prevailing
mode. After the ceremony she and Gen
eral Harrison, with less than thirty OF
their most intimate friends, will sit down
to Il wedding breakfast at the home OF
the BRIDES sister, Mrs. Parker, in East
Thirty eighth street.
There will be little fuss or feathers
about the wedding, except what the
people at large choose to make.
The Portland daily press., 1896-04-04

the bride, for weddings are always re-
garded as the peculiar property of women
and they look at the bride ten times to
once at the groom. Mrs. Dimmiok will
make very fair bride to look upon not
withstanding that she is nearing the age
of forty. Her figure is more girlish than
matronly, although well rounded amp
plump. She is what most people call
petite. In her girlhood days she was
vivaoious, but now her sprightliness has
been mellowed into quiet dignity which
well BELTS the wife of man like General
Harrison.
Mrs Dimmick's life has been sad one.
Her father Russell B. Lord, and her
mother separated when she was a small
child. Her early life was embittered by
domestic discussions which were only
ended when her mother took the two
little girls. Lizzie and Mary, back to
Indianapolis, where the grandfather of
the children, DR.. Scott, a Presbyterian
preacher, lived. Shortly after this sad
Homecoming DR.. SCOTT was called to
Springfield, Ill, and there the future
Mrs. Harrison grew up. DR.. Scott was
for time president of the Presbyterian
institution now known as the Concordia
College of Springfield, but not making a
success of it he established q private
school, which yielded fair support for
the little family.
One of the events in this house was an
occasional visit from Mrs. Lords sister,
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, and her hus-
band, then lawyer of some local repute
in Indianapolis. The two young girls
were immensely fond Of Aunt Carrie and
Uncle Ben, but if any one had then

to have no other occupation but that Of
rushing to notable wedding and funer-
ais.
The shrewd men who make Presidents
of the United States are also watching the
matrimonial venture with curious inter-
est. They are the men who believe that
o powerful string was attached to the
Generals letter of deolinatiop, written to
his friends in regard to the nomination.
A little thing like wedding can excite
popular interest to fever heat, and some
people think it may have tendency to
make the bridegroom a potent factor at
the coming battle in St. Louis.
POLITICS AND MATRIMONv.
However, the mingling Of the merry
jingle Of the wedding bells with the hide
Gus shrieks of politics is an inharmonious
business. Besides, it is unkind to insinu
alto that the General has one eye glued on
ST. Louis, while the other is fastened on
the marriage altar. But politicians have
been known to think and say unkind
things before, and they have been talking
in this strain good deal of late. 1t is
the intention of General Harrison and
Mrs. Dimmick to have the wedding as
quiet es possible, but In this they are
bound to be disappointed. The fact that
the ceremony will be performed in the
very center OF the fashionable district,
and in church capable of holding 1850
persons at pinch. and, moreover, on the
day after Easter Sunday, argues we'll for

of soldiers to hold at hay. Unless pre-

D. o. Mills viii Build a $1,000, coo Hotel

Plans for the erection of q 10-story and

department Saturday. The hotel will be
built on the south side of Blocker street
from Sullivan to Thompson streets, by
d. o. Mills OF 634 Fifth avenue, owner of
the Mills building, and who Is known as
a financier and philanthropist. This is
in keeping with the plans of Mr.. Mills,
who some time ago dec ided to build sew
eral hotels of this kind, which will be
run on an economic basis for the benefit
of the respectable hard orking classes,
who cannot afford to pay prices demand
ed of them at other hotels. This hotel
will have baths and free reading room S
and a restaurant, which will supply tho
guests with food at moderate prices.
The site upon which the new structure
will be built is known as the Depau ..wo,
and was at one time the property of the
millionaire merchant, A. 7. Stewart. 1t
consists Of long row of three-story, brick
dwellings, with large veranda extend
ing along the entire front of the build
ings, and was at one time occupied by
well-known New Workers. OF late the
dwellings have boon occupied by poor
people and business stores. and the prop
erty has fallen off materially in appear
ance and value. What Mr.. Mills paid for
the property is not known, but it is be-
lieved that the price was small, com par
ing it with the price that the property
could have commanded had it been kept

EARLY DAYS AT THE RANGELY.
The New Workers Who Dissolved Names
Sporting Paradise Half Century Ago.

Among the early discoverers of the
the great square-tailed trout were several
New York mon, including Col. Blood
good, George Griswold, John Post and
Benjamin Swan. They arrived there in
the early forties, and their reports Of the
sporting resources of the region in tro
duoed them largely to the devotees of the
rod and reel everywhere.
Trolling and deep water fishing were
then unknown in those waters, and ar
ii fetal fly fishing was not only practical
ly restricted to rapid streams, but to the
month of June. And this continued to
be the case tor many succeeding years,
or until other discoveries revealed the
fact that the gamy, hy-taking trout like
death, had all seasons for his own, and
has still when the ice is out and the law
is off,
In those days the captured trout rarely
exceeded three pounds in weight, and
even one of that size afforded a genuine
sensation. A fight with such an one in
the swift waters of the Kennebago stream
produced q degree of excitement not ex-
oeeded in later years by a battle royal
with a FOUNDER lured from the
depths of Lake Mooselookmeguntio,
where for untold years they had been
growing and fattening in unvexed and
unsupported seclusion for the pleasure OF
succeeding anglers.

that does not reach the ears of some

During the coronation festivities at
Moscow the Third Section will be con-
centrated at that point. In the great
crowds which flock to the ancient city
there will be thousands of these secret
agents. They will pc present at every
