SHE MARRIES HER DAUGHTER.
Woman Preacher in San Francisco
Ties the NuDtiaI Knot.


Ties the NuDtiaI Knot.
This is the first occasion, / believe, of a
mother marrying her own daughter" said
Mrs. Kate Heussmann of San Francisco,
land | desire it to be understood by the
living witnesses here present that / have the
power and the proper authority to perform
the marriage ceremony, as | am an ordained
minister under a state charter issued to the
Independent Bible society, of which | am a
missionary"
Everyone present was satisfied as to the
authority and vested power of the officiating
woman and she proceeded to marry her
daughter, Mary Violet Heussmann, to Felix
Drapenski with these words:
you are witnesses of this ceremony Of
matrimony performed in your presence and
in the presence of loved ones, those angel
faces that have gone on. Ana you" ad-
dressing the groom and her daughter, you
are united in the holy bonds of matrimony,
promising to love, honor, obey, cherish and
esteem each other, knowing that all your
actions through life are witnessed by those
near and dear who are with you in the
spirit
The wedding, which took place at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Heussmann, is, so far as
known, the first in which a mother oficiated
at the marriage of her daughter. And 1t
was altogether a beautiful wedding. 1t had
been arranged with due consideration for de-
tail and the. effect of picturesque
ais. In a pretty hower-decked little parlor
the party was gathered, the men holding
large bouquets raised in front of their
breasts. Mrs, Heussmann was attired in a
flowing white robe and the bride, Miss
Mary Violet Heussmann, and her maid, a
younger sister, were in pure white.
When the time came for the ceremony
Mrs. Heussmann said: "All stand up
She then spoke lovingly about the bride,
dwelling on her grace Of character and her
many virtues. She directed the young
couple to clasp hands and this was done;
she caught the Joined palms in her W and
pronounced a fervent blessing from the spir-
its. The words closely followed the Chris
tian ritual, with the addition of a spiritual
istic address, in which it was stated that
there were many loved ones present In
spirit as witnesses and their blessing was
asked. For their sake, as much as for hui
man motives, she declared the couple should
esteem, love, honor, cherish and obey each
other.
After the wedding Mrs. Heussmann said
that as there might be some dispute over
the legality of the contract and her daughter
expects to inherit property in Europe she
had taken the precaution to have a civil
ceremony performed. Justice Of the Peace
kerrigan was introduced and he performed

1t is just as easy to fall in love with a

CHANCES FOR THE HOUSE.
Overstreet Admits That They Look Brighter
For the Democrats.
(By the Associated Press.)


Indianapolis, August 11.-Congressman
Overstreet, of this district, Secretary of
the National Congressional bureau of the
Republicans at Chicago, left tonight for
Chicago. Said he:
In 1898 we carried the House by a
majority of 10. BY contests decided in
our favor, our majority was increased
but we cannot now depend on the districts
they came from. We had three Congress-
men from North Carolina, but of course
since the Acknowledgement of the negroes
we shall not get representative from
that State. In '9S we had two from Ken
lucky, but one was by the narrow ma
jority of ten We are not counting on
that as certain. The other district in
Kentucky gave US a large majority and
they cannot count us out of it, We had
one representative from Texas from the
Galveston district, but it is always close,
and the Presidential election may change
the result this time.
This makes a total of five that we are
almost sure to lose from what we now
have, leaving us a bare majority of thee.
We are making estimates on a majority
of three now but the odds this time are
really in favor OF the Democrats. They
have TO begin with, 122 representatives
from Southern States that always give
solid Congressional delegation for them.
In some Northern States they have forty
per cent of the Congressman. In New
York they had IS in the last House or
sixty per cent of the New York delega-
tion. So on the face of the outlook. their
chances for carrying the House are bet
ter than ours, but l am sure we shall de-
feat them and have majority again. We
are going about the campaign in a prac-
teal way. In 1893 we sized up the stua-
tion and found that we would lose 80
districts east of the Missouri River SO
went to work in districts that haf been
doubtful and were successful in carrying
enough of them to give us a lead. We eX-
poet to get the same results again and
to redeem many of the districts that
went against us in 1898"

MCKINLEY UNFIT
FOR PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from First Page.)

"What is your opinion of the outcome
of the campaign"
'Why, Bryan is going to be elected"
"You really think SOP" l asked.
There is absolutely no doubt of it, -
Senator Wellington replied Il know
what l am talking about, for l know the
forces that will come together to give
Mckinley the defeat he deserves"
What are those fcrces?"
q don't care to say at this time," the
Senator answered, but know what they
are, and l tell you Mckinley is as good
as defeated now. Bryan is certain to be
our next President, and 1 shall be glad
to see him elected"
what do you think of the German
vote in this campaign
In his reply Senator Wellington re-
vealed the identity of the anti Mckinley
forces to whom he had just referred. He
answered.:
Now you are getting near the mark"
you mean then" l asked, that the
Germans will combine to defeat McKin-
ley?"
THE GERMAN VOTE.
Eyes, sir, l do the Senator replied
"and l know what l am talking about
The Germans control this situation, and
while they are not given to loud talking,
they speak decisively at the polls, and
can tell you that the fire of resentment
at McKinleys conduct is burning with
constantly increasing fury in the breast
of every German in the country, and
that it will burst forth into a consum-
ing flame on election day"
What do you think of the result in
Maryland?" l asked.
The Senator leaned back in his re-
volving chair and laughed laugh of sat
isfaction as he responded:
Maryland? Why, Maryland will be
for Bryan, of course. Oh, There is no
doubt about that. The state is gone, and
Bryan will get Maryland's electoral
votes"
''You are still Republican," l asked.
Yes, sir!" the Senator calculated.
"And if the Republicans elect the next
Maryland Legislature you will be a Re-
publican candidate to succeed yourself
in the Senator" 1 said.
yes sir" and the Senator's answer
left no doubt that he meant what he
said.

saying you were better Republican
than Mckinley"

reply, ''but l believe that 1 ann"
do you mean republican as one who
stands for republican institutions or In

But, still being a Republican, how is

ing my party best when oppose an unfit
man, and because l believe that in the
end the party will profit by Mckinley s
defect"
cit is true, then, that you regard Nc
Kinley as unfit for the Presidency"
''Most certainly l do" the Senator re-
sponded. Apart from all partisan and
personal considerations, he is totally un-
fit for the office"
"Why?" was my last question.
Because he is SO weak and vacillat-
ing that he can't stick to an opinion over
night If he could know his own mind
at a time he might do, but such a thing
is impossible with him, and for that
reason he is unfit to be President.
