"Cupid is no respeeter of persons or places, says a member of we'll known family, for, whilo love laughs at lock smiths, Cupid, to my knowledge, has made himself felt behind prison bars. Do you remember tho old Washington inlrm- ary which stood behind the courthouses Well, that was the jail in old times. from 1894 to 1888. In those days there was i'm prisonment for debt, and quite handsome young man, unable to meet his obliga- tions, became prisoner. The jniler lived in part of the building, and his family in cluded pretty daughter. Cupid set to work, and tho bars were ne obstacle. In little while looks betrayed Cupid's con quest. One day while on the street-debt- ors being allowed to go outside, but not beyond the prison bounds-tiey met, had a talk which ended in tho procurement of a marriage license, engagement of d min ister and the marriage. They returned to the jail, and, telling what they had done, the father gave the son in law job as as sjstant jailcr, thus enabling him to pay the debt, and when he died the son suo- ceeded him.

 Dr. Charles E. Cadwalader Is a descend ant of the famous Cadwaladers who came by direct line from the kings of Wales. At 57 years of age he is robust, vigorous and hearty, with bright, keen eye and muscles which would do credit to youn- ger man. His quick, elastic step and sol dierly bearing show man of activity. He is descendant of the famous John Cadwalader, an emigrant who arrived in America in 1897, Cadwalader whose genealogy is replete with fame and exclu- siveness and whose treasured genealogical sheepskin, with lion rampant, contains the names of Lord and Lady Erskine, General John Cadwalader of Revolutionary fame, the Welsh Cadwaladers who fought under Coeur de Lion, and Dr. Cadwalader. who, with Franklin, founded libraries and was prominent in early Philadelphia.
 Purely American from Revolutionary times, the family has occupied n conspicu- ous place in the political and social history of the city. Through Dr. Thomas Wynne they assisted Penn in establishing the col ony. Their part is well known in the Revolution through the gallantry of Gen. eral Thomas and General John Cadwala- der.
 The household over which the young bride will preside is one of the few histor- ical mansions left in Philadelphia that re- tain the originality of thoir day and have wholly escaped the yandal hand of the medernizer. It is roomy old place, full of broad halls and spacious rooms. of pom derous furniture of mahogany and rose wood, of quaint silver and glass and of paintings and portraits of dead and gone Cadwaladers who in their day and gener. ation were famous beauties and celebrated men and ruled in tho world of fashion and affairs. Here, in bygone days, were wont to gather tho creme de Ia creme of old Quaker City society--the Willings, the Shippens, the Riddles, the Singletons, the Bonds, the Reeds and those other families prominent in other days as well as in these times.
