Syrian colony and Americans who had
been invited to witness the wedding

ceremony. He wore a crown on his
head and a long robe Of gold cloth that
reached to the ankles. AS the bride
and her father walked up the aisle
they were preceded by little flower
girls and followed by the bridesmaids
and ushers, all carrying lighted can
dies. At the chancel the bridegroom
stepped forward, and the father handed
his daughter over to him. The bride
groom led the bride to the front OF the
altar, and the priest began chanting
the marriage service In Arabic. He
asked them II they were willingly en-
tering into the marriage state, and
when they both answered in the af-
hrmative two Of the ushers held golden
crowns over their heads, while the
priest took two gold rings from a sil-
yer tray held by an attendant and
placed them on the fourth fingers of
the left hands of the couple. The GER
emony over, many Of the guests ac-
companied the newly married couple
to their home, where a feast had been
prepared. Mr.. and Mrs. Macksoud went
to Washington on a bridal trip.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has introduced a new feature in its
sleeping car service arranging to at
tach an ordinary sleeper in addition
to the regular irst-class sleeper now in
service on through trains. Commence
ing with February 13 one OF these cars
will be attached to train No. 6 leaving
Chicago $3.50 p. m. and arriving In
Pittsburg next morning at $40, and
returning leave Pittsburg on No, 5 at
7:20 p. M. and arriving in Chicago
next morning at 10 a. m. Also on

in these ordinary sleepers Pullman
rates are reduced one-half, so that
passengers have the choice Of paying
the highest price Pullman rate or take
advantage OF the cheaper rate offered
In ordinary cars. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Is the first line to intro
