untrue, but hurtful to the best interests
of the community. The sentiment
everywhere was that if the vaporings

Adam Borshel, president of the

nation at such an atrOcious insult,

Philadelphia by Bishop Potter and his

denounce the city in such virulent

its zenith of business triumph. Never
has business been so universally good.
Every member of our association,
which comprises all the we'll known
business men in this section of the
city, are prospecting wonderfully. They
nearly all speak against Bishop Potter
and his crusade. They claim, and l
agree with them, that it is the pro-

will the young man was made head of his
family and heir to fortune of 4,OOO,-

daughter of the late Francis o. French.
who was a millionaire banker of New
York, were married ut noon yesterday al
Xabriskie Memorial church of st. John
the Evangelist. AS the family of the
groom is still in mourning for the death
OF Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt the wedding
ceremony was made simple to a degree.
while the reception and breakfast which
followed were almost as quietly conduct
cd as some Of the larger luncheons ana
dinners at Newport in midsummer. But
despite an air of simple elegance appar-
cnt in every detail, which, by the way,
was as much in accordance with the taste
of Miss French as it was desirable to the
Vanderbilts, the particularly interested
families are SO prominent in the social
and business worlds and the two young
people who were united are so well
known and so popular that the event at

morning and were driven directly to the
church, where they were entertained till
the hour of the ceremony by an organ re-
cjtal by Mr.. William r. Boone, Organist
of the church.
1t was a pink and white wedding, this
attractive combination of colors having
been chosen by the bride to characterize
the floral decorations both at the church
and at Harborview.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt shortly after
the wedding breakfast had been served
left on their honeymoon trip. Their plan
for this is secret to all save themselves.
IT is known, however, that they will not

brief as Mr.. Vanderbilt wishes to get
back to his business in connection with
the Vanderbilt railroads, in which he has
become deeply interested.
Mrs. Vanderbilt received many wedding
gifts. including much linen and lace, sew.
eral complete outfits Of silver and
