SHE NOW DICTATES TO HIM.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 1S.-The
wedding of Miss Annie Congdon Gard
ner to Herbert Mason, president of
the Security Insurance company of
New Haven, which took place today
at the home of the bride, is the cul-
mination of romance which began
ten years ago, when Miss Gardner en-
tered the office of the insurance com
pany as stenographer. Pretty, re
served and efficient. her work brought
her in direct contact with the head
of the big company, who soon found
her services indispensable, and she
was practically installed as his pri'
vate secretary. A year ago Miss
Gardner resigned her position, and
whispers were heard that she was en-
gagged to Mr. Mason. These were con
firmed shortly afterward by the an
nouncement of her engagement Al
ter an extensive wedding tour the
couple will take up their home In
Mr.. Mason's handsome residence IN
Whitney avenue.

WEDDING OF PRIMA DONNA.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-Miss Hilda
Clark, former star of the Boston.
ians." and one of the most popular pri-
ma donnas of recent years, became
the bride today of Frederick p. Flow
er. prominent Wall street broker,
and nephew of Ex-Governor Roswell
=. Flower. The wedding took place
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Edward Clark.
in Riverside drive, and was attended
by large number of relatives and
friends of the contracting parties.
The marriage of Miss Clark and
Mr.. Flower eliminates a romance of
fifteen years. When Hilda Clark was
a girl in her teens the young nephew
of the millionaire Wall street man
saw her and fell head over heels in
love. But his father, Anson r.
Flower. was not at all pleased with
the idea of his son marrying an ac-
tress, and so the young man had to
worshipping at Miss Clark's feet, how
ever. Never a first night but saw him
there with applause and immense flo
raj offerings for the beautiful soprano
who was singing her way to fame.
Then came the sudden death of Gov
ernor Flower. When the will was
opened it was found that Frederick
S. Flower was one of the chief heirs
and that the will directed that he be
made a partner in the firm. Once
more Mr. Flower paid court to Miss
Clark, and at last his parents capitu-
lated
Admirers of the bride regret the
fact that with her marriage she has
decided to quit the stage forever. Dur
ing the last decade she has achieved
much success in comic opera, her
clear, high soprano, her graceful car
riage, her pink and white beauty and
her mass of golden-brown curls each
contributing to 1t. During her stage
career she has made quite a fortune
and is the owner of considerable prop
erty in Leavenworth, Kansas, where
she was born.
Mr.. Flower is regarded as one of
the handsomest men in clubdom and
is forty years old. He is several
times a millionaire. He is member
of the stock and produce exchanges.

INJUNCTION
AGAINST
PACKERS

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb 1S.-Judge
Grosscup of the federal circuit court,
today granted an injunction against
the meat packers alleged to have been
in the trust, and dismissed the demur-
rer of the defendants which alleged
insufiiciency of charges advanced by
the United States attorney. The
suit was begun last May and argu-
ments on the demurrer were heard in
December.
The decision this morning bysJudge
Grosscup against the beef trust is far
reaching in its effect. He holds in
the decision that there is combina'
tion 10 rosr-aut OF trade. and that +;
has bev. guilt ol violation o ne
country's statutes.
Attorneys for the packers this morn
ing did not announce what their next
move would be. They will probably
appeal, it not being thought likely
they will let the matter go by default
and thus make the injunction perma
nent.

VICTORY FOR WOMEN.
French Decree. Authorizes. Them to
Compete for Art Scholarship.


PARIS, Feb. 14-Femlnism won a
victory in France this week when NJ.
Chaumie. minister of fine arts, signed
a decree specially authorizing women
to compete for the prixe de Rome. one
of the famous scholarships lodged by
the French government in the villa
Medicis at Rome. Conservative peo-
pie thought this promiscuity would
be an unsurmountable obstacle to the
feminist scheme, but the authorities
say a special arrangement will be
made for women when necessary.
The exhibition of the Society of
Women Painters and Sculptors. open
ed by NJ. Loubet yesterday. contains
some of the finest sculptors.
Nine. Cecilia de Wentworth has
the finest picture in the exhibition.
that of a Sister of Mercy bending over
dead man on a battlefield. 1t was
greatly admired. The rest of the show
consists of an enormous number of
flower paintings. A curious feature
is that the sculptors are much more
promising than the painters.
One of the pictures. if not the pic
ture. of the year. in the old salon
will be La Benedictite a L'Hospice
de Beaune,' by NJ. Joseph Ball, who
got medal of honor last year win
his "Dentelleries, and now ranks
with the greatest men of the age. The
picture represents a group of sisters
in a refectory at the benediction,
and is perhaps finer than last years,
hitherto unrivaled in its style.

tograph album belonging to Mrs. Sa-
rah A. Barber of Northwood. Mass,
and was not discovered until that
lady's death some years after the
death of the poet:
May He who ever keeps
Watch over all. nor slumbereth, nor
sleeps,
Be near thee still with his support
ing hand,
Thy cool rock shadow In a weary land.
So shalt thou in thy daily duties
move
By the still waters OF our Fathers
love,
And the true peace which He alone
can give
In the deep quiet of thy spirit live.
And when at last the summons shall
be given.
Thine eyes shall open on the bliss of
heaven.
And earthly pomp and earthly joys
wax dim
Before the white-robed saint and ser
aphim.
Eye hath not seen 1t nor the living
ear
Heard the glad music OF that wond
rous sphere,
Nor mind OF man in its extremist
thought
One glimpse unclouded Of its glory
caught
The joys prepared. the infinite reward
OF those who love the appearing oi
our Lord.
