A Daring Thief Captured by Detective
Steele
G. G. Boyden, who was arraigned on a
charge of burglary in the police court yes
terday, was captured by Detective teele
last Friday.
Boyden took a room at the Wheeler
lodging house at 100 South Vignes street,
and after sizeing the place up decided to
move to another house and take with him
some of the effects of his neighbors. In
pursuance OF this plan he secured n room
elsewhere and started to transfer his own
belongings thither. At the same time he
took several articles belonging to William
i. Wheeler, the son of the landlord.
Young Wheeler missed his property and
followed Boyden, overtaking him on the
street. Boyden said he would 60 with him
and started off quietly, but soon changed
his mind and broke away. Wheeler got
assistance from friend in buggy and
gave chase, while the fleeing Boyden tried
to make good his escape across lots, He
was finally overtaken and put under ar
rest.
At the police station he confessed to hav-
ing taken the articles which were found in
his possession. namely. a shirt, a purse
containing a few coins and half dozen
neckties. He said he wanted change of
linen in order to look we'll that he might
get work.
1t appears that he entered Wheeler's
room by the use of his own key. Besides
the articles taken from the lodging house,
he had small satchel containing q num-
Der of cakes of soap which, he claims, were
given him by a man on the train.
Boyden will be examined for burglary
Thursday morning at 80.

IN THE POLITE WORLD

Amid the most artistic floral surround
ings and in the presence OF many guests,
Miss Maud Manderson Mclean. daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Charles c. Mclean, was
married to Mr.. Guy Ernest Stevens of
Scranton, Pa, at high noon yesterday in
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal taber-
nacle on South Hope street.
The altar of the church was most effec-
lively decorated by the ladies of the con-
gregation. Its entrance was a beautiful
high archway of dense green foliage, guard
ed on each side by standing group OF
white callas. Surmounting the archway
was typical floral design of a cupid S
dart of daisies in an arrow of pink carna-
tions. Through the gateway was charm
ing vista beyond of tropc scenes, of stately
palms, delicate ferns and branches of pa
pyrus. The white and gold of the chancel
was given touches of green and clusters OF
pink and white roses lent an additional
charm of brightness and fragrance.
The oriel windows, wreathed in smilax.
looked down on the whole, and in each
opening was a beautiful basket OF ferns
and pink and white roses.
At l2 o'clock. to the beautiful rendition of
Lohengrin's wedding march, the bride and
bridegroom entered the church. A little
child, Miss Elizabeth Agnew, charminply
led the way to the floral archway under
which the impressive ceremony was per-
formed by DR.. Mclean, pastor of the
church, to a soft accompaniment of low
toned and sweet music.
The bride was lovely in plain, rich
robe of ivory duchesse satin, made en-
traine. The bodice had a high crush col
lar of point lace and pearls. and a berthe
of rare duchesse point lace fell from the
yoko and over the bouffant sleeves.
She wore beautiful pendant of dia-
monds and pearls. the gift of the groom,
and carried a magnificent bunch of white
Roman hyaciuths. A long veil, fastened
with orange blossoms, fell to the end of the
gown. After the ceremony the bride was
unveiled by the wee maid, who was prettily
attired in white lace frock, carrying a
bouquet of pink and white flowers.
A wedding breakfast for the near rela-
tives was served at the BRIDES home, on
Ninth and Olive streets.
Among the wedding presents were many
beautiful and costly gifts, the most conspic-
uous being a very handsome silver tea
service by the members of Simpson taber-
nacle, which is not only eXpressi ~e of the
regard of the donors but is a token of re-
membrance to one who is much loved and
who has gone from their midst to reside
permanently at Scranton, Pa.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens left yesterday for
San Francisco en- route to an extended trip
through the states, expecting to be at home
after March st.
The BRIDES going-away dress was mo.
dish gown of dark green cloth, trimmed
with green velvet. A green toque with a
cluster of dark green roses, lined with pink
finished the costume.
Mr.. Stevens is a rising young man OF
Scranton, a graduate of Yale, and whose
profession will be the law.
