MISS JULIA GRANT MARRIED.
The Leading Event of the Season
SOlemnized at Newport.

Newport r. l., Sept. 26.-By an
elaborate and gorgeous ceremonial
Miss Julia Dent Grant, daughter OF an
American soldier and granddaughter Of
great General, one time President OF
this Republic, has become Il princess,
the bride of a Russian-Prince Canta-
cuzene. Not only will Miss Grant have
the right to call herself a princess, but
she is at the same time Il countess,
her husband possessing titles of prince
and count.
This marriage ceremony, though
binding by the laws of Russia and ac-
cording to the rites of the Greek
Church, is not looked upon as legal by
the laws of the State of Rhode Island.
Therefore it was necessary to have an
other ceremony, which also was of 4
religious character and which was per-
formed in All Saints Chapel
The Greek ceremony took place in
the ballroom of Beaulieu. 1t may be
interesting to know that Miss Grants
wedding gown was worn at both cere-
monies. This was at first thought not
to be necessary. but as both ceremonies
were of a religious order the same con-
ventional bridal attire was in keeping
for both. There was present to wit
ness the ceremony of the Greek Church

The Thirty-eighth regiment with head
quarters at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-.

Massachusetts and Nebraska. where
the self-styled anti-imperialists are sup
posed to he strongest. These regi-
ments are the Thirty ninth. with head
quarters at Fort Crook. Neb. and the
Forty-tifth. with headquarters at South
Pennington. Mass. Up TO Saturday
ITO men had been enlisted in the
lhirty-ninth and ! .023 men in the
