of the couple.
Pink, green and white in many charm
ing combinations were the prevailing col

lane of begoniac and asparagus. Bask-
cts of delicate pink flowers depended from
the standards.

the four bridesmaids.

French, the brides niece; Miss Elsa Bron-
son. Miss Isabel c. Stillman, of New
York who shortly will become the bride
of Percy Avery Rockefeller; and Miss
Edith Gray, daughter of Judge Gray, of
Albany. The maid of honor was Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt, sister of the bride
groom.
Some distance behind walked the bride
leaning on the arm of her brother, Amos
Tuck French.
The brides gown was of rich ivory,
white satin, the skirt having a train
more than three yards in length.
At the altar, Mr.. Vanderbilt met his
bride Together they stood before the
steps of the chancel until DR.. Morgan had
finished reading the betrothal portion of
the service. when they ascended into the
chancel and at the altar DIR. Beattie pro-
nounced them husband and wife. The
Mendelssohn wedding march was played
as the wedding procession moved down
the aisle and out of the church. The
ceremony occupied about seven minutes.
The reception was given at Harbour
View" the residence of Mrs. French
After a wedding breakfast the couple left
on their honeymoon trip.

The final conclusion of the court was
announced as follows:
The act of June g. 1900 Is not in viola
ton of the constitution of the United
States, and this case comes within the
provisions of that act. The court below

cause to believe the appellant guilty of
the offense charged, the order for his ex-
tradition was proper and no ground ex-
lsted for his discharge on hsbeas corpus.
The Judgment of the Circuit Court is,

Native Catholic Teachers Urged for

the Schools.
Manila, Jan. H.-Representatives OF the
Central Catholica. at meeting here,
spoke on the subject of religion in the
schools, and urged the adoption of amend
ments providing for the employment ex~
clusively or principally of native and
Catholic teachers, and for permitting re-
lgious teachings in the schools. They
argued that native teachers could achieve
better results than Americans, and that
the public schools would be far more su"-
cessful il the prevailing religious customs
were not disturbed.
The commission announced that it could
not possibly adopt these amendments.
The commissioners are unanimous in
the belief that a great majority of the
Fiiipinos desire religious teaching in the
schools. They hold that the purpose of
the bill for public education will be par
TALLY defeated unless the children Of
Catholics are permitted to attend the pub

The intellectual greatness of the fore
runner Of Jesus was next portrayed;
his mind superbiy disciplined and
stored with knowledge, his unrivalled
originality of speech, his twenty years of
preparation for a ministry of six
months. Here the preacher urged the
value of preparation for every phase of
life's work and declared that if he knew
he had but seven days to live six o.
these would be given for preparation to
spend the seventh in the preaching of
Gods word.

While pictured by some as fierce and
wild, it was unjust, as he hal the cour-
age Of a I'll with the tenderness of a
woman. Great in spiritual development
was another point in his make up. With
him -he 81 cat God f" 4, an ever present
reality. lle saw Him III the SKY, he
heard his voice ir the storm and in the
music of the bird, in the terrible earth
quake and in the pulsations of his own
heart.
To these characteristics of greatness
Mr.. Hawthorne said, was super added
the inspiration of the, Holy Spirit,
which gave him more spiritual power
than the prophet Elijah. He was a
man before he was a preacher" was
sentiment which was used to show that
parvenus in mind, weaklings in body
could not lead. That toad could not de-
velop into nightingale or snail into
race horse was the simle that was
used in declaring that inferiority could
not expand to greatness, this leading up
to the declaration that man. not a
thing dressed in clerical attire, an auto
nation, a weathercoclS was needed in
the pulpit
The exhibition of Johns greatness was
declared to be his indifference to the
voice Of calumny and detraction. He
was not moved by sneers and false
charges. Here Mr. Hawthorne exhorted
reformers of all kinds not to fear the
critics. They would belittle you today
and magnify you tomorrow, curse you
at one time and crown You at another.
He declared that in modern parlance
johns preaching would be called sem
sational. 1t was SC, he said. and all
wise aud successful leaders are sensa-
tiional, for if they could not make
sensation they We're not worthy to lead.
Johns greatness was again declared to
be because of the righteous eaudacity
with which he struck at sin in high
places. This, he declared, was test of
greatness. 1t was easy for a, preacher
to denOunce the weak and humble,l not so
was it with the high and mighty God
will give a man who is Inherently great
an opportunity to show it, he said. and
cited the deeds Of Demosthenes, Cicero,
Patrick Henry and others.
The close of his discourse was devoted
to the manner Of the removal of John S
doubts as to the genuineness of the
Christ, and with dramatic force he
portrayed the tragic bloody horrible
and yet glorious death of the Baptist,
declaring that If evils were to uprOOted
and overthrown it must be done by men
of his stamp, peerless, dauntiess and un-
terrified.
AT the close of his sermon Dr. Haw-
thorne recited the struggles Of the men,
bers of his church in Richmond to re-
build after the loss of their building by
fire and asked for help from the congre-
cation to raise $4,000 to complete the
new church Rev DR.. Marshall and
Rev. DR.. Skinner added to his power
full plea, and a large number of pledges
were made by the congregation in re-
spouse to what DIR. Hawthorne de-
clared was the burning desire of these
waning days OF his life to preach to
the people from completed house of
worship where he felt so much good
might be done.
