Death Of Fred Harvey rs uni
versally Regretted.
Has Been Connected With Kan

A SUCCESSFUL CAREER
Plan of Feeding People Was
known Everywhere.
Col. W. H. ROssingtOn Talks of
Him.

The prevailing color in all the Santa Fe
eating houses today IS black. This is IN
respect to Fred Harvey, founder of the
system, who died Saturday evening at his
home in Leavenworth after an illness
dating back as far as 1882.
Mr.. Harvey's career was successful in
every adventure he attempted As a rail-
road man and as a hotelkeeper his ad-
vance was steady. Coming west after the
civil war broke out he finally took po-
sition with the Burlington railroad at
Leavenworth, and by steady advance
ment was made general western freight
agent of that system II was
NJ Man el forrning osl1i9" great
eating house system along the railroads
was suggested to him. In 1876 the flrSt
lace, KAN 1t was successful venture:
The Topeka eating house was the third Of
those esta blished and was located In the
present freight depot. Tt was never man
aged by Mr. Harvey personally. , After
plans for the extension and development
of the system were made This has con-
known an over the tinted States and Eu-
rope The Harvey plan is the model for
near perfection as can be reached.
MIR. Harvey never resided in Topeka
But to a few of the people here ne was
known. and those persons are unanimous
in expressing their high regard for him
Colonel ". H Rossington said yesterday:
Il have known Fred Harvey for thirty
years, ana can De quoted as approving
anything good said of him. He impressed
me as being man of great business ca
pacity and of high character. His plan
has pevolutionized the eating house sys-
tens on all the railroads Of the United
States. He established places Of good
food in the wilderness and the Harvey
eating houses are known all over the
United States as well as in Europe He
was a poor boy from London when he
came to this country. On account of fall
ing health in 1882 he returned to London
Since then Mr.. Marvey's health has
been poor, and for the last five or six
years he has had no active connection
with the Santa F'e eating houses.
His son. Ford Harvey, has managed
them since that time and it is safe to say
that no change in the management will
be consequent upon the death of the
founder of the system
Mr.. Harvey passed through Topeka only
q few months ago IN his private car on
the way to California in search of health
He found relief, however, and returned
to LeavenWorth, where he was at the
point of death for several days.

A Brilliant Wedding.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
At the residence of Mr.. Hampton
Lorick of Irmo, Wednesday evening
February 18th, 1901, will long be
remembered by all who were present
as one of the happiest and pleasant
est occasions ever witnessed, it being
the time set for the marriage of Mr..
Henry F. Geiger from Congaree
section to the beautiful and accom-
plished Miss Belle Lorick of Irmo.
As the clock struck seven the
parlor door was opened and all eyes
were turned toward the door. They
were not held in suspence long, as
Mr. Jacob A. II. Geiger, from Conga-
rec with Miss Mirtie Bookman of
Irmo entered the room and took
their place. They were soon fol-
lowed by Mr.. John R. Lietner Of
Irmo and Miss Lizzie Nunnamsker
of Swansea. Next came the hand
some groom, Mr.. Henry F. Geiger Of
Congaree, with his lovely bride, Miss
Belle Lorrick of Irmo. They were
married by Rev. Mr.. Deal from
Chapin, S. G. After the ceremony
the many relatives and friends, who
had assembled to witness the happy
union, extended their congratulations
and all present soon commenced en-
loying themselves. At half past
eight supper was announced and the
bridal party was ursherec in the
dining room to a supper that could
not be excelled. The bride was
handsomely attired in sky blue
Henrietta, trimmed in chafon, ribbon,
lace and flowers. The bridesmaids
wore beautiful colors. The bride
received many handsome and USE
full presents too numerous to men
ton.
On Friday, evening Feb. Is, as
the sun was hiding itself behind the
western hills the relatives and friends
of the popular young groom COM
menced gathering at the residence
of Mrs. A. ". Geiger, the mother of
the groom, to attend the reception
given by Mr.. Jacob A. b. Geiger in
honor of his brother, Mr.. 81. F.
Geiger, and his bride. The supper
was excellent and all seemed to en-
Joy themselves fine. The universal
verdict was the groom could congrat-
ulate himself in winning such pure
and noble lady for a wife. We ex-
tend our congratulations to them;
may their future lives be long,
bright and happy, and when their
earthly pilgrimage is over may they
receive bright crown in that beau
tiful city bayond, and there sweetly
rest forever with the redeemed in
heaven. A F,iend.
