MISS LINCOLN WEEDS
Granddaughter of the MAJ tyr President

ElOpement.

CHICAGO, Nov. ll.-Jessie, the young
est daughter of Robert T. Lincoln, wa
married yesterday afternoon in Mil
waukce to Warren Beckwith, of Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, and upon her arrival ir
the city last night went to her home, at
No. 60 Lake Shore Drive, and told hen
father about it. Her husband went tc
downtown hotel, and left his wife to dc
the explaining.
sit is a fact said Mr. Lincoln at mid
night, that my daughter Jessie is mar
ried to Mr.. Bcckwith She went to MIL
waukce this afternoon on the North
western road, got married and came home
tonight. | am very sorry the thing
happened, but cannot see how it could
have been prevented Mr.. Beckwith is
II very nice Young man and belongs to u
reputable family, SO | have nothing to
say on that score
"Will you forgive them, Mr.. Lincoln,
and pronounce the paternal blessing?'
'Wcll, ! cannot say as to that, ! will
think the matter over for a time"
Miss Jesse and her tiancc, for they be-
came engaged secretly, kept matters
quiet, awaiting favorable opportunity.
In the course of time, however, it became
apparent that the parents OF the young
woman were not disposed to agree to her
marriage, although it is said they had
nothing against the young man who had
Il desire to become their son-in-law.
1t is not understood that any direct
proposal was made for the hand OF Miss
Jessie. After considering everything the
young couple finally decided to have a
secret wedding, the date being fixed for
!; day in the latter part Of last week
A friend or two was let into the secret
and the general preliminaries were ar
ranged, but an indiscreet remark by one
of their friends gave the relatives Of the
young woman an inkling of what was
going on.
How much they were made acquainted
with is not known. At any rate, the
bride-to-be was hurried off to her home
on the Lake Shore drive, in this city and
the young man was left alone.
Mr.. Beckwth was determined not to
lose his lady love in that manner and, ,as
soon as ne found out what had become
Of her, he left Mount Pleasant for Chi
cago.
When Mr. Beckwith reached Chicago
he arrived at Il new understanding with !
Miss Lincoln, and yesterday they went
to Milwaukee and were married
