Philadelphia, July 20.-For nearly two
hours yesterday DR.. Charles E. Cadwalder,
whose recent marriage to a domestic
in his employ created such sensation
in Philadelphia society, chatted with a
reporter, telling many interesting facts
about his courtship and now famous mar
rage. Two points were brought out
prominently in the interview. One is that
DR.. Cadwalader in the instance or his
marriage, as in all the events OF his HE,
had the conviction that he was acting
under ProSidentlal appointment
The other is that, having contracted
the marriage in tie face of family oppo-
sition, and with disregard TO that much-
dreaded "goice or society" which is
heard In many places as empbaticaliy
and in much the same strain as at the
dinner table of the yeneerings. he pro
poses to demand for his wife social recog-
milton
First the doctor confirmed q reported
interview, in which he was asked if he
would demand fof his wife tie same posi-
ton In society which he had always oecu-
pied His reply was emphatic:
"As to nay wife, her position Is es-
tabiished, and | will regard 1t as a per
sonal affront and ins uit IL any one should
question it.
DO you think your marriage has met
with popular approvai?.'
"Yes; it has proved what i have al
WAYS wanted the world to know that
am one OF the people, interested In
the people welfare. and, while fam
lily Is all right in its way, am proud
OF my position with the everyday peo-
pie, and my course has strengthened me
IN their esteem 7 shall always remain
one Of the people and be identified with
popular movements; but at the same time
shall dethand for my wife high social
position 1 am satisfied with my course
and proud that have demonstrated that
am no snob.
when l was a medical student" he
said, although cnly young man, grew
very tired of social functions l was forced
70 participate in them, as / went around
with my sisters and I had TO lead germans
night after night While / made myself
agreeable as best could was always un
conventional I forgot little convention
alities and didn't enjoy small talk. 1 had
great deal of studying to do. and while
was out in the evening wished myself
at home with my books.
Some twenty-five years ago 1 went
abroad with one Of my sisters for the
benefit of her health. and when re-
turned saw the opportunity to retire TO
a more quiet life and follow my own in
clinations, and / gladly embraced the op-
portunity.
Now might have paid attentions
to a woman who would enjoy the sort
of life which I reIinquiShe,i. But to
marry such a woman would mean that
I would have to go around with her
and thins about conventionalities IL
wished to make her happy. I don't
Ike that sort of thing. 1t would be very
unpleasant 70 me.
II would never have married IL 7
were obliged to leave my house here
and begin n new mode OF living. I
have been living here quietly for years
and don't want the machinery dis
tarbed. In marrying as did am
able to make the lady whom I married
happy and be happy myself.
II have always been a firm believer"
he continued, 'in PIovidential appoint
religious man does I am not a religious
man in the accepted sense OF the term, but
believe tnat the God who made me knows
how he wants to use me. az ait has always
beeu my object 20 follow His direction
When 1 have failed in aiything I have
taken the failure with equ mimity Ihave
thought everything VIII crne out all right
In the ebd. II I make a mistake today

i felt needed rhe. believe there has been
no great movement In this city for years
that I have not taken a part In, and In
everything I have tried to hold myself

ppintment'
Il should infer from this said the in
terviewer, that your marriage was Con-
tracted with the same feeling with which
al the other actions of your life have been
accomplished -
Exactly" was the reply. II acted as
