Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Hazen made
'heir answers clearly and distinctly. If
they We're nervous at the start it was all
over by the time the holy rite was com
p!eted. The expression on the brides face
was almost rapt. Her eyes We're lifted far
above the heads of all, almost to the cell

words We're finished, but the smiles moro

embrace Of her husband.
After the Wedding
She was EMBODIED in her mothers arms
only to be released when it was Mrs T,,d

Father Mackin had the pleasure of first

TO his word of congratulation to the adni-
raj an interesting coloquy ensued

Admiral Dewey laughed heartily at this
sally, and inferred considering all the cir
cumstances he just as glad Father

was on hand today to assist in maxine. him

Father Mackin had a call yesterday from

Wedding Day pIeasantries.
Father Mackin tells another good story
on himself. Some time ago, and it was not
weeks either, he wrote little note to Mrs.
Hazen when her quarterly pew rent was
due. Father Mackin is a good deal of a
Wag and his bon-mots are well known con-
trlbutions to ecclesiastical pleasantr.e In
ms note he said that her pew, No. I'll, IN
MS church was getting mody, and he
feared she might be going to some other
church than his. This morning she re-
minded him of it and said: Now, Father
Mdckln, could you not say my pew is Nil
dewey, instead of that very ugly word-?'
The father owned up she had the best Of
II IN the play Of words. and there was a
great laugh all around at the incident.
Rather Mackin has pet story which he
tells tor the edltication Of youth usually
When he was boy he ran away from his
nome In Baltimore and shipped on whaler
II ON New Bedford. His hardShips and lone
illness We're hard to bear but he never got
over his love foI the sea and sailors. Mrs.
Dewey had heard the story, evidently, and
IN describing the personality of the priest
VINO was to make them one, told The adj
miral the tale, which is first-rate one
when the hero of it tells it himself. That
Admiral Dewey enjoyed it goes without
saying.
Assistants at the Wedding Ceremony.
The two priests who assisted Father Mac
kin in the ceremony We're his assistant,
Rev Joseph \. Foley, and Rev. Sidney S.
Hurlburt, who is his guest at present. The
housekeeper and servants of the presby-
terry were also present, although their view
OF the great event was secured from the
adjoining hall Father MHckin nearly par
alyZcu his household when he told them to
come IN and witness the marriage of Ad
miral Dewey and Mrs. Hazen. and it was
all over before they had a moment to fully
realize the fact that they were assisting at
an event for which hundreds of dollars
would be paid for a front seat.
