MILLIONAIRE
MARRIED
JAMES A. KING. A CHICAGO CAP.
ITALlST, TAKES A BRIDE.
YOUNG LADY A HANDSOME BRU-
NETTE FROM ILLINOIS.
ST. JOSEPH WAS THE PLACE AT
WHICH THEY WERE HITCHED.

St Joseph, Mich, July 15.-During
the past few days speculation has
been rife concerning the secret and
mysterious marriage of James A.
King, the aged millionaire of Pasa-
dena, Cal, and Miss Maude A. Robin
son of harrison, H., who are now
spending their honeymoon at the Vic
toria hotel in Chicago, and concerning
whose wedding the friends of the mil
lionaire have interested themselves.
Thus far it has been kept a secret.
1t now transpires that they were
married at st. Joseph last Thursday
morning. This information has leaked
from the county clerks office, although
Mr.. King had enJoined the employees
Of the Office TO keep silence.
The wedding of the well known mil
lionaire was not out of the ordinary
run of quick marriages here. He and
his youthful BRIDE went through the
marriage mill with little ostentation.
They arrived on the morning boat
from Chicago, with other couples of
less distinction, and put up at the Ho-
tel Whitcomb for breakfast. Mr.. King
demanded a Scottish minister and DR..
Thomas McRoberts responded to a tel
ephone call. He also demanded
Scotch coachman and James Clutch
bertson was procured. The ceremony
was simple, taking but a few minutes.
Miss Robinson is a handsome bru-
nette, 26 years of age, and was in
striking contrast to the bridegroom.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. King
drove through the country until boat
time, when they returned. Both ex-
pressed themselves as being pleased
with the methods of marrying people
at st. Joseph. There is said to be a
romance connected with the marriage.
Mr.. King has been a sutton for the
young lady's hand for several years.
He is heavily interested in business
in Chicago and is salu TO be worth
$20,000,000.
