ROMANCE IN THE WEST END
Time Did Not Move Fast Enough
for Young Couple.
Henry C. Staub and Miss Sarah f
Rhodes Went to Baltimore
and Got Married.

West Washington has been apprised of
romantic marriage wheh took place
in Baltimore last Monday evening, be-
tween Henry c. Staub, Of No. 1919 Thirty
daughter Of Superintendent Rhodes, of
Arlington Cemetery. So quietly Were the
details arranged that the news was as
surprising to the parents of the young
people as to their mere acquaintance.
Mr.. Staub and Miss Rhodes have been
engaged for some months, and their we'd
ding had been arranged for last December,
but Mr.. Staub's father dying Just previous
to that time the marriage was postponed.
No other date was set, but it was gener-
ally expected that after a suitable time
had elapsed another day would be an
nounced for the wedding, and arrange
ments made for public ceremony
In the meantime, however, the young
couple decided TO take the matter in their
own hands, to be married quietly in Balti-
more, and to keep their union a secret, for
a time at least Only one other person
was informed OF their intention, Miss Mae
Byrne, of New York avenue, an intimate
friend of the bride Telling her parents
that she was going to visit this young
lady, Miss Rhodes left her home in Alex
andria last Monday and came to Wash
ington.
Mr. Staub went to his work at the
store of Thomas l.. Hume, as usual. but
at o'clock left and went To Baltimore.
There he secured a marriage license and
returned TO Washington immedia tely. Go
ing to the home of Miss Byrne he called
for his fiancee and together they took the
6 so train for Baltimore.
When Baltimore was reached they drove
directly to the home of Bishop James A
Latone, No. 1412 Park avenue, where the
ceremony was performed with tw mem
bers of the bishops household acting as
witnesses, and at $50 o'Clock the newly
welded pair were at their respective
homes, as if nothing had happened.
When the family OF MI Staub were asked
concerning the matter they thought il
joke and hardly believed it possible. The
young Benedict, however seng that he
could no longer keep his marriage secret,
thought it best to tell the whole story,
and accordingly with his wife went to
Arlington 10 break the news to the brides
parents.
The young people will reside, for the
present, with Mr.. Staub S parents in George
town.
