1t was In that city that Mr.. Kerr
first met Miss Sigsbee. They were both
students al the Washington Art Stu
dents league. Miss Sigsbee, according
to the stories of friends, disliked Mr.
Kerr the first time she met him. They
afterward went sketching together and
became better friends.
Mr.. Kerr left Washington early in the
summer to come to New York. A cor

Miss Mary Ellen Sigsbee, the only
daughter of Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee,
who commanded the battleship Maine
when it was blown up in Havana har-
Dor, was secretly married in New York,
Nov. 26, 1898, to Balfour Kerr, a young
artist. Many precautions were taken
to prevent the identity of Miss Sigsbee
and Mr.. Kerr from becoming known.
Distortion of names even was resort
ed to. The circumstances attending
the marriage were most mysterious.
The Rev. r. j. Belcher of /the Jane
Street Methodist church performed the
ceremony at the church parsonage, No.
IL Jane street. The marriage was wit
messed by Finn H. Frolich, an artist,
and F. ]. Belcher, Jr., son of the Off

Miss Sigsbee went to New York from
Washington to attend the classes of

for the life class scholarship. She car

returned to her home in Washington
Not even her intimate friends sus-
pected that in addition to the prize of
the life class scholarship she had also
promised to become the wife of Mr..
Kerr
Last October she returned to New
York to resume her studies. The fol-

was performed. Late one afternoon,
accompanied by Finn Frolich, Mr.. Kerr
and Miss Sissbee went to the home of
Mr.. Belcher and were married. Fro

with their silent tribute to his chival-
rous nature.
He got off at the fifth floor, and as
the elevator started up, one of the la
dies said in an audible tone, What
an example he gave these other men,
How polite he Is. His wife and children
must lead happy lives"
