and Mr.. Fingers quartette, Miss
lila Ruth Hassard, Miss Maude
Wells, Judge A. r. Burgess and
Mr.. Ed Wolff sang the hymn,
"The Voice that Breathed Ger
Eden" Then Miss Mary Bland
Millspaugh, the pretty maid of
honor, who was bewitchingly at
tired in beautiful pink embroid-
cred mousseline, accompanied by
Mr.. B. G. Alexander, best man,
came up the aisle, followed by
the bride, the popular society
favorite, Miss Mary L. Montgom-
ery, who was vision of loveliness
arrayed in an elaborate white or
candle, tastefully trimmed in
ribbon and applique, and accom-
panied by the groom, Mr.. Fred
erick Wear. Groom and best
man wore the regulation" and a
striking and fair picture the
bridal party made as they stood
before the rector, Rev. Francis
R. Starr. The ceremony then pro-
ceeded. and during its prog
ress the organ whispered an
obligato ccompa n m n t,
whilst Miss Hassard, in her
splendid soprano, sang In
sweetest, softest tones, most ex-
cellently modulated, Otto Cantos,
ooh, Fair; Oh, Sweet and Holy"
The whole ceremony at this point
was inexpressibly sweet and touch
ing. The Rev. Mr.. Starts deep
voice was heard against its musi-
cal back ground, charging most
earnestly the handsome couple
that they foreknow and foresee
their duties, and pledging them
selves to do the best in their pow
er to discharge them.
At the conclusion, the organ
swiftly changed to a few trumpet
like chords, and the quartette
ioyfully broke into the bridal
chorus from Lohengrin, Faith
full and True we Lead You Forth, !"
to which sounds Mr.. and Mrs.
Wear passed the church door and
entered upon the happier, nobler
life.
Mrs. Mary l.. Montgomery, of
Jeffersonville, Ind the mother,
gave the bride away and the at
Effectiveness of the ceremony was
further enhanced by the brides
little niece, Miss Elizabeth Abb
bolt, stepping to her side while
it was in progress. The church
edifice was appropriately deco
rated with world of floral orna-
mentation.
Both bride and maid of honor
carried their prayer books.
To speak of the fair and queen
; " bride would indeed be like unto
the task of attempting to "paint
the lily orgild refined gold" The
Press will not attempt it, for it
can add nothing which is not al
ready known to those who know
her. AS to the indeed lucky
groom, there is no young man OF
more sterling worth in San An
CELLO. For years he has been the
trusted and faithful Office man OF
Taylor & Johnson, and he will
prove as model a husband as his
fair life partner will an ideal wife
The sacred edifice was filled
with scores of warm friends, who
witnessed the solemn scenes with
deep interest, and whose earnest
congratulations and sincerest
good wishes swelled spontaneous
" from their hearts,
Mr.. Wear and his bride took
the afternoon train for Bolton fol
few days visit to the groom's
mother, and on their return will
be at home at the Geo. Hagel
stein residence, on BeauregarC
avenue, after the 25th.
The couple were the recipients
of many handsome presents, at
testing their popularity and the
high esteem in which both are
held for their true worth. Thai
loves illusion may last through
life, is the sincerest wish of The
Press. May love, as it existed
between them when they stood al
the altar steps ever reign. AnC
there is no reason why it SHOULD
not. A wise liberation is thu
sunshine of love, and they who
maintain the sentiment will come
to count their marriage the be
ginning of the brightness of life
Rich now in the divine Fellowship
may they ever so continue. MAJ
the union become the sunshine O
life, and beneath its genial in
tiuence spring up the best affec
tions and noblest virtues. Ma,
she soothe him in grief and com
fort him in sorrow; take he
share in the disasters that ma,
befall, rejoice in his happines
and exult in his successes,
