Dr. Purv1s and His White Wife Sail
for Europe.
Among the passengers sailing from New
York for Europe on the steamship Etruria
last Saturday were DR.. c. B. Purvis, the
well-known colored physician of Washing
ton and his wife, to whom he was married
last April. The couple have been in Wash
ington all spring and early summer since
their marriage in Philadelphia three months
ago; but have now left for the continent
where they will travel until autumn. Mrs
Purvfs, who is the second white wife of DR..
Purvis, was a Mrs. Jennie Proctor Butman
of Manchester, N. H. Very little is known
among DR.. Purvis friends in the city con-
corning her, but she is described as an at
notwithstanding woman of medium height
with chestnut brown hair and eyes and
complexion to match. DR.. Purvis met Mrs
Butman in the north last summer, where
he was spending his vacation, and a few
months later their engagement was an
nounced to their most immediate friends
Last April the couple were married in Phil
adelphia
DR.. Purvis' first wife has been dead for
about three years. She wds white woman
also. named Mrs. Ann Hathaway, and came
from Maine. At the time of their marriage
she was engaged as a teacher of children
at one Of the hospitals in this city Two
children were born to the couple. One was
daughter, Miss Alice, Purvis, now prac-
tfcing medicine in the north and a son.
Robert Purvis. who Is a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania and Is now

1T WAS AN OPEN SECRET.
Matrimonial Event Disclosed Withou
Consent of PrincinaIH


Consent of Principals.
Baltimore is in a fair way to lose its pop
ularity as a matrimonial resort for Wash
ington couples who wish the sanction of
the law combined with secrecy in the
plighting of their troth.
The latest victims of the Baltimore news
gatherers were Horace ]. Donneliy and
Miss Mary Alice Whitzell of this city, the
first twenty-one years old and the second
eighteen.
This couple went to the monumental city
yesterday and were married. They had said
nothing to the brides mother, Mrs Hattie
j. WhitZell, a widow, who has been for
some years an employe of the government
printing office, and they fully expected that
their secret would be kept until such time
as they saw fit to reveal it. The telegraph
wires We're quicker than the train, how
ever, and before Mr.. and Mrs. Donnclly had
reached Washington in the afternoon the
news of their marriage had been flashed
ahead of them.
The bride has been in the employ of a
drug manufacturing firm on Pennsylva MIA
avenue, and after reaching home, as though
coming from work, last night, she was
asked by her mother to affirm or deny the
report. There was nothing to do under the
circumstances but acknowledge her hus-
band.
Mrs. Whitzell has no objection to her SON.
in-law, as Mr.. Donnelly bears an excellent
reputation. He is a clerk in the Union
Savings Bank, and has been employed in
the Library of Congress, having secured
both positions through the Endorsement of
the Y. NJ. c. A.
When seen at the bank this morning bv
q Star reporter Mr. Donnelly said
that as everything had been made public
there was nothing further to say. Mr.. Dom
nellyS mother, Mrs. Magruder lives In
Rockville, and the young man boarded Tor

1910 X street northwest. Recently he
moved to 925 New York avenue The mu-
tual attachment between Mr.. and Mrs DON
nelly was no secret, but 1t was understood
that their marriage should be postponed
until the young man should further ad-
vance his financial position. But the prin-
cipals in the affair preferred not to await
that contamination.

number Of grievances were reported
and referred to the grievance committee for
investigation, particularly complaint Of
Local Union, No. 1868 Brotherhood of Paint
ers, which reported that in several in
stances painters not members of the union
are employed to the injury Of union work
men. 1t was decided to assist the painters
In their competition with non union crafts
men, and it was resolved that in the future
the Central Labor Union will favor only
the employment of the members of the
organizations represented in that body.
The committee to arrange for the observ-
ance of Labor day reported several liberal
donations. the local brewery firms having
contributed $500 to the general fund.
A communication was read from Mr..
Charles z. Hodgkin, asking the co-opera-
ton OF the Central Labor Union in an e.
fort being made for the early closing Of
stores by the local dealers in paints, oil and
glass. The letter, in part, states that an
early closing movement was started during
the week among the paint, oil and glass
merchants, the purpose being to close at 1
pm. each Saturday during the summer
months. After obtaining the signatures of
the majority, request from several was
made to get signers among the artists sup
ply dealers, which has since been under
taken, and from several of the latter class
sprung a request to solicit the picture
frame dealers, all of which has been sue
cessful The appeal concludes: I'm order
to obtain the signatures Of all We ask
your organization for your kind and best
cooperation"
AS requested. a special committee was ap-
pointed and directed to bring the matter
to the attention Of dealers. and secure, II
possible, uniform agreement in the mat
ter.
Delegates for the ensuing term Of six
months were admitted from Painters and
Decorators Local Union, No. 36S; Brewery
Workers Union, No. 11s; Cigar Makers

Efforts of Police to Locate Relatives
of John Dalton.

The police have not yet succeeded in To-
eating relatives Of John Dalton, the painter
who was killed at Pine Bluff, Ark, during
the latter part of June, as heretofore pub
lished in The Star Captain Boardman was
notified of the mans death the 10Th of last
month by Low E. Owen of the merchants
exchange at Pine Bluff, and was informed
that Dalton's sister had worked in the
treasury for a number Of years. A later
message gave Dalton's age as forty years
and also gave the information that he was
killed by a train.
1t was believed that the dead man was a
brother of Mr.. Dalton living at AL 5th
street northwest, who sent a photograph of
his brother to Pine Bluff. A telegram was
received last Friday stating that the pho
tograph was not that Of the man who had
been killed. Today a letter was received
by Major Sylvester from Low E. Owen
giving additional information concerning
the Daltons. Dalton, the writer stated is
supposed to have a sister in this city who
worked in the United States treasurer's of
flee a number of years. Another sister is
in Kansas City, and a third one is in Cali
fornia.
Dalton is supposed to have left this city
about 1874 going to Moberly, Mo-, and later
says he first knew Dalton in Chicago,
where he worked under him as a car
painter. Captain Boardman said today
that Dalton had undoubtedly lived in this
city prior to 1874, and he regards 1t as
singular that some of his friends or rela-
tives have not come forward with informa-
ton concerning him.
