Mrs. S. w. Jenison, Sept. 81, to witness
the marriage of their adopted daughter,
Emma Edith Whitman, to William Wilson
Van Ness of Mortified, Mass. The paror

of the bride and Misses la Boyden and
Alta Morse acted as ushers. As the bridal
party entered the room, Mendeson's we'd
ding march was played by Miss Grace

of white organdie. The ceremony, with a
ring, was performed by Rev. NJ. f. Hardy
and after the service poem was read
which was written for the occasion, by II

of the bride. Refreshments were served
and Mr.. ana Mrs. Van Ness left immediate
ly for their home in Northfield in the
midst of the usual shower of rice, and fol-
lowed by the best wishes of many friends.
There were many pretty and useful gifts.
The wedding was very quiet on account of

HASKELL WANTS A WAGON.
Sealer of Weights and Measures
Submits His RepOrf


Mr.. Haskell, the sealer of weights and
measures of the District, yesterday SUBJ
mitted his report of estimates required
for the department of the sealer for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1900.
Mr.. Haskell asks for s., 500 for the salary
of the sealer; $1,000 for the assistant
sealer; $1,000 for clerk; $3.50 for laborer.
and s110 for new wagon. The following
amounts are requested for contingent ex-
penses; livery of horse s240: shoeing
horse, $50; repair on harness and wagon,
e25; lap robes and whip, $40: seals and
tools, sl2O. The total amount asked for
by the Sealer is $685..
The report says in part; ''We have
found that a large number, and / might
say, in fact, all the wholesale and large
retail dealers in milk and ice-cream have
not been called upon heretofore, but in
justice to the smaller dealers we feel that
the hundreds of measures owned by one
large firm should receive the same atten-
ton as the measures used and owned by
a dealer who may have but one measure.
1.-The wagon asked for is very much
needed. The one we are now using is
old and very heavy for the one horse al
lowed us, and is quite expensive TO keep
in repair. The need of so heavy wa
gon is confined to not over two months
in the year when we are inspecting and
testing heavy wagon scales. at which
time we are obliged 10 carry one or two
tons of standard weights in making tests.
sIn conclusion / wish TO say that our
receipts will fully cover the amount asked
for. as is required by the act of Congress,
and the allowance of the same will place
the department in such a condition as
its needs fully require"

SEE SUES FoR SUPPORT.
Mrs, boyce, of Photograph Gallery
Fame. Ia Mt Law


The infelicities of the Boyce family
which have been aired t9 considerable
extent lately, eliminated yesterday. when
Mrs. Geneva Boyce filed suit against her
husband, Isaac d. Boyce, for mainte.
nance and support
The couple were married in Baltimore
in 1882 and soon after came to Washing
ton TO live. Boyce started a photograph
gallery at No. 1926 F Street, which lie
conducted until a few days ago, when he
sold out to Walter Pack. The sale of the
photograph gallery plays an important
part in the proceedings instituted by Mrs.
-Boyce for support.
Accompanying her complaint IS an af-
fidavit stating that although her husband
has an annual income of $3.50, on account
of her absolute poverty she is compelled
TO ask the court to permit her to file ner
suit without paying the customary costs.
Then, after alleging that she has always
been true and faithful wife and the
mother of three children, she says she is
Obliged TO depend upon the bounty OF her
aunt, Mrs. Katie Ferguson, for support.
The trouble which has resulted in the
filing of her complaint began, she says,
on the 18th of June last. wnen her nus
band struck her and otherwise abused
her in most inhuman manner. For five
years preceding that time, she says, her
husband had continually used most pru-
tai and abusive language TO her
Another cause of complaint is tnat N
his conduct of the photographng busi-
ness at No. 1925 Street her husband,
she alleges, took pictures of a very OBJ
jectionable character, and refused to stop
when she demonstrated with him. Mrs.
Boyce alleges that her husband allowed
his assistant, Walter Pack, to whom he
sold the business, to grossly insult ner
and refused TO discharge him at her re-
quest
Mrs. Boyce then goes on to relate the
circumstances relative TO the sale Of the
photographing business and the coate.its

elected from the premises, and, from
want of means to do otherwise, WAS
compelled TO go to her aunt's home for
