Master Don Hyams he had visited
at Mr.. A. N. Timon's, on Red riv

through the back of his neck. We

Bride Given Away by Vice Presi
dent Stevenson.

St. Louis Mo-, Dec, 2S.-Prob-
ably the most notable social even
Of the season in st. Louis was the
wedding this evening Of Miss Ju-
liza Scott to Mr.. Carl Vrooman, of
Baltimore, at the residence of the
brides sister, Mrs. Chas. s. Brom-
we'll, No. 41O2 Westminster place.
Rev. Frank B. Vrooman, of Chica-
90, a brother Of the groom, was the
officiating clergyman. The bride
is a daughter Of the late Matthew
T. Scott, of Lexington, KY, and
a neice Of Vice President Adial E.
Stevenson. Mr.. Vrooman, q Har-
ward graduate and ex-president of
the intercollegiate Debating Socie-
tv, is one of the six Vrooman
brothers who are we'll known as
orators. Vice President Steven
son gave theIbride away. A recep-
tion followed the conclusion of the
wedding ceremony, at which quite
a number of prominent people
were present. A few guests from
out of the city were Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs.
Louis Y. Stevenson and Miss Jane
Fuller, daughter Of Chief Justice
Fuller, all of Washington, D. c.;
Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Black and
daughter, of Chicago; Miss Nan
ME Barbee, Of Danville, KY; Miss
Evelyn Brown, Of Louisville, and
Miss Marian Lindsey, Of Frank
fort, Ky.--Times- Democrat.
One of the six brothers above
referred, Rev. H. G. Vrooman,
lectured in the Courthouse here
about 2years ago. His theme was
socialism, and he told US that he
was a Populist until a party more
strongly socialistic was organized.
These brothers all agree in po-
litics, and it is strange that Vice
President Stevenson is mixing up
with such fanatics.
