claim that there has been an engagement
for some time. MIR. Seller is a mining

bride TO be, who is well known in society,
is but "a years of age. 1t was the desire
OF the contracting parties that the an
nouncement of the marriage might be
delayed until the party was we'll on its
way, but the good news would not keep,
so they Will now be able to carry with
them the good wishes of their many
friends.
Mr.. Seller, when interviewed, denied
the rumors point blank, as many another
man IN similar position has, but his
married daughter was more accommo-
dating. She admits the engagement, but
declined 10 give any particulars OF the
event.
