WEDDING AT SPOKANE.
j. ID. Farrell and Miss Wadswortll
United in the Bonds of Hymcn.

Spokane, Wash.-On Wednesday even
ing, Nov. 8. at the Main Avenue Cath
Ollie church in this city, J. D. Farrell
and Miss Blanche Wadsworth were
united in marriage by Rev. FIR. Kauten
in the presence of their immediate
friends and relatives.
A quarter of an hour before the time
for the ceremony Prof. H. L. Pierce
from the organ loft commenced the rem
dition of an organ recital. First he
played the bridal march from "Lohen-
grin" Then came the seductive tones
of Soderman's Swedish wedding march
and after that the "Adagio Cantabele,"
by Haydn. Just before the appearance
of the bridal party was played the
Communion Baptiste."
When the bridal party appeared at
the door the music changed to the
rhythmic stately measures of the we'd
ding march from "Tannhauser." At
this instant Rev. Father Emil Kauten,
pastor Of the church, attended by an
altar boy, both in rich vestments, ap-
peared in the sanctuary.
Slowly the ushers, Barnett z. Ba-
rinds, Charles G. Griffith, William H.
Yawkey, of Detroit, and Thomas e. JEFF
ferson, two by two, marched up the
center aisle from the door. Then came
al 0f
neapolis, Miss Luhn and Miss Hoover.
of Spokane and Miss Farrell, of st. Paul,
sister of the groom. They too, marched
in couples. In their dainty gowns and
quaint poke bonnets, trimmed with
natural yellow and cream roses, they
looked charmingly sweet and girlish.
None of the ladies in the bridal party
wore gloves.
Alone and following the bridesmaids
was the maid of honor, Miss Maude
Wadsworth, tall and stately and look
ing particularly winsome in a gown that
we'll became her dark beauty.
After her was the little flower girl,
Rhea Clark, daughter of Patrick Clark,
and the page, Hill Hoover son of Jacob
Hoover. Both children were attired
appropriately. They strewed flowers In
the path of the bride.
And the bride. She came last, alone
and unattended and bearing herself with
composure and quiet dignity that we'll
became her womanly features.
The bridal party passed through the
floral gates and then ushers and maids
separated to allow the bride and her
immediate attendants to proceed to the
position under the bell, where the groom
met her.
The groom and his party came from
the right entrance. First was Mr..
Wadsworth, closely followed by the
groom and he in turn by the best man,
M. c. Healion, of st. Paul. The father
of the bride met her under the bell and
rell. The ushers and bridesmaids had
previously separated right and left to let
the bride pass through. Upon the ar
rival of the bride and groom at the COM
munion railing they knelt for an in
slant, then passed on into the sanctua-
ny, followed by best man and maid of
honor. The remainder of the party
ranged themselves outside the altar, the
bridesmaids beside a bank of palms and
potted plants on the left and the ushers
on the right.
AS Father Kauten began to repeat the
words Of the marriage ceremony the
organ softly played the we'll known
intermozzo from "Cavaleria Rusticana."
The bride bore we'll the scrutiny of
the congregation as she passed down the
aisle, leaning on her husbands arm.
Following the ceremony, reception
Immediately took place at the residence
of the brides parents, at 1919 Pacific
avenue. Bride and groom received their
relatives and the bridal party only here,
and hence it was not large affair. Mr..
and Mrs. Farrell received congratulate
tions standing in one of the parlors,
which was effectively decorated, the pre-
vailing colors being pink and green. The
adjoining parlor was decorated in green
and white. An abundance of white
chrysanthemums and white and pink
roses were used in the decorations, with
smilaX and ferns.
After the reception wedding supper
was served. The dining room was dec
GRATED in pink, with bowl of pink
roses and scroll work of violets on
the cloth. A heavy pink shade over
hung the table. Miss Jessie Galusha
was a guest at the supper.
The presents were unusually numer-
Gus. They numbered statuary, paint
lngs, cut glass and an abundance of sill
verware, and they came from all parts
of the country.
President James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, because of his friendship for
Mr.. Farrell, sent out from St. Paul a
