The Jordan-De Lew wedding took
place last Wednesday in the midst
of a large assemblage of friends. Just
as the clock struck twelve, noon, the
orchestra which, was stationed in the
back of the house, struck up the in
spring strains of Lendelssohn's Wed
ding March, and from the upper floor
the bridal procession moved slowly
down the stairs and marching into the
parlOr took their position beneath a
huge white wedding bell, the Rev.
Trefren of Central Methodist Episco-
pal Church performing the ceremony,
which exemplified the olden example
which would puzzle an expert mathe-
matician to solve otherwise, of ''once
two is one" The parlor was profusely
decorated with flowers and the bride
in ner wedding gown of cream moire
velour trimmed with chantilly lace and
carrying white carnations, stood be-
side her newly made husband receiv
ing the congratulations of her friends
for q short time after the ceremony
which. though short, according to the
usage OF the Methodist Church, was to
the purpose, and quite impressive. Miss
Carrie Estes, Miss Birdie Rhodes and
Miss Lizzie De Lew acted as brides
maids, and w. H. Toll groomsman.
o. q. Hopkins and Henry Stanjer were
the ushers. After good wishes had
been ShoWered upon the young couple
from all present, the orchestra struck
up a lively march and the wedding
party, accompanied by the guests, pro-
ceeded to the lawn where a sumptuous
repast awaited them. Sixty guests sat
down to the tables with the bridal pair
and were served by colored walters. A.
]. Gardiner, acting as toast MASTER
called forth to his numerous challenges
many feeling responses from the
guests. The guests departed after
drinking the health of Mr. and Mrs.
Maurice De Lew, who left on the =
o'clock train for San Francisco and
other points south. A pretty feature
of the wedding was the darkening of
the house and lighting it from within
by electricity, giving a very soft and
pretty effect to the scene of feStiVity
A large party of friends escorted the
happy pair to the depot and the cars,
before the train moved out, were COW
cred from one end to the other with
rice. It transpired that there were
two other bridal couples on the same
train.
Another wedding was that of Mr.. Hill
house and Mrs. Williams of the Gen.
trail Methodist Church, both being
prominent members of that body for
some years past. The wedding took
place during the week and Mr.. and
Mrs. FIillhouse left Immediately for
Portland, Or.
To-day will witness the wedding of
John F'leckenstein and Miss Augusta
Du Milieu. 1t is wonderful how, ac-
cording 10 the old saw, the bitter
sometimes gets bitten himself. So it
is in the case of Mr.. Fleckenstein, who
is a prominent member of Company E.
y. G. c., and reputed to be the best
shot in the company. The tables have
been turned and one of the saucy lit
tie gods fatal arrows have taken eff
feet as is not infrequently the case on
a bold sojer boy After the we'd
ding the happy pair Will depart for the
Bay. where they will spend their hon
eymoon.
A letter has been received from S
L. Hebron, the young Sacramento
violinist, who left some three months
since for Germany to complete his
musical studies. The letter is dated
July 21st. The young musician writes
! that it had been raining in Stuttgart
for three days past, and the gloom
of overcast skies in July made him
yearn for Sacramento's sunshine On
his way to Stuttgart he had stopped
over at Hamburg for three days, wit
Messing at that city q flower festival
and visiting several celebrated old
castles. He says the interiors are ex-
actly as described in books of travel
and everything is to new country eyes
grand beyond imagination. To his in
tense disgust he has been put at the
a. b. c, of violin technique, but is work
ing hard and getting along fine" on
four hours daily practice.
Ho for the Klondyke, Who is to
be the next. I wonder? Every one has
caught the fever which RACES daily
more madly, bringing fresh victims to
the altar of Mammon. The last of
our friends to succumb is Charlie
Stickuey. the young hutist. who. in
company with a gentleman friend con-
| templates departing for the gold fields
ere long. They will go direct to Daw-
son City and there bring their musical

on to the mines later. Mr.. Stickney

town who wish him no end of success

Two very sad events during the past
week are recorded in the passing away

! high standing in Sacramento. and Mrs.
| Sterling Nourse, whose happy married
! life of but three months was brought
/ to such a pathetic and untimely end.
The former. even as a girl, possessed
