Ludlow. mother and sister, respectively,
of the BRIDE and Lieutenant Caldwell,

rangements were made with the same
secrecy which has attended the whole af-
fair. After procuring the license for the
wedding yesterday, Lieutenant Caldwell
called on Father Maekin of St PauPs, of
! which Mrs. Hazen is a communicate, and
arranged for the wedding this morning
| As Admiral Dewey is not Catholic,
| special ispensation was required for the
performance of the ceremony and this
was procured by Father Mackin from
Bishop Curtis, vicar general of the do
| cese of Baltimore, who granted it, in the
absence of Cardinal Gibbons, who is at
present in New ORLEANS. Father Mackin
went to Baltimore for this purpose yes
terday afternoon.
AT 9:45 a. m. two carriages containing
the wedding party drew I'D before the
modest red brick rectory in the rear Of
st. PauTs. The general public had no in
timation of where the. ceremony was to
take place and not a single spectator was
present as the party alighted. Admiral
Dewey and Lieutenant Caldwell quickly
stepped from their carriage and the ad-
miral assisted the bride-elect and her
mother and sister from the other car
riage. Mrs. Hazen was gowned in pearl
gray silk oyer which she wore a long
stylish black wrap trimmed with silver
fox and lined with lavender silk. The adj
nliral wore a black frock coat, gray
trousers and a silk hat Upon entering
the rectory they were ushered into the
reception room, where Admiral Dewey |
was presented to Father Mackin and the |
two clergymen who were to assist in the |
ceremony
Upon being presented to Father Mackin |
the admiral said that he had heard that |
Father Mackin had in his early years |
been a sailor, and it gave him additional |
happiness to know that he Fvas to be |
married by a clergyman who had at one |
time followed the sea. Father Mackin re-
piled happily that when he found he
could not become an admiral he had de-
termined to become priest. Mrs. HaZen
removed her wrap and the admiral inn
mediately took their places in the center
of the little reception room where the
ceremony was performed which made
them man and wife. Father Mackin and
his assistants wore simple black cas-
socks
Before the ceremony Father Mackin
addressed the contracting parties as fol-
lows: Before pronouncing the solemn
words which will bind you forever tOgeth-
err, it may be we'll to forget for mo-
ment the things that are around us and
to look upward We are the children of
