uncle, Frank Gebhardt. The maid
of honor was Gladys Vanderbilt, a sis
ter of the groom. The bridesmaids
were Miss Isabella Florence Twombly,
a cousin OF Mr.. Vanderbilt; Miss Eve
Ign Parsons and Miss Nathalla
Schenck. The ushers who led the pro-
cession were Jules B. Nelson. Ellis
Adams, of Orange, N. j.; Arthur S,
Burden, of New York; S. H. Stone.
Goelet Cary and Albert Gray, OF New
York.
The bride was gowned in heavy
white silk, with costly veil OF rare lace
flowing back from the crown OF her
head to the end of her train. Around
her throat was lightly clasped a ser
rent necklace OF the rarest pearls, a
rift of the bridegroom. The ceremony
was brief. Its completion was made
known by the Mendelssohn wedding
march.
An inspection was then made OF the
bridal gifts, which were declared to be
as rare and costly as ever have beer
bestowed OF a young couple on the
advent in married life.
A wedding breakfast was then Civ
en-, and the bride and groom left fol
their residence at Sandy Point, a few
miles from here. where they will
spend a few days previous to a three
months tour abroad.

also of New York, which occurred at
Arleigh at oon today, was a brillian
as we'll as an early beginning OF the
social season OF 1903 at Newport. AS
the marriage took place in a private
villa it lacked much of the splendor
which usually attends a church func-
tion. About $50 guests, nearly all
from New York, were present. 1t was

his best mai and the ushers wore
white puff crayats and white bouton-
nieres, and the bride, of course, was
attired in the purest white. The
weather sulked, and instead of a
sparkling spring day, it was gray and
cold, with a misty northeast wind
blowing in from the sea. From an
hour preceding the ceremony an or
chestra played, and just at noon the
measured strains of the Lohengrin
march signaled the approach OF the
bridal party. Reverend Father Nee
nan, attended by two altar boys, pre-.
viously had taken his place at the
floral altar. and just as the procession
started down the grand staircase Mr..
Vanderbilt, accompanied by his elder
brother, Alfred Gmynne Vanderbilt,
took positions beside the priest. Miss
Nelson advanced on the arm of her

greater than that of simply having

splendid elimination. The crucial ne
cessity which led up to the Louisiana
acquisition was the free navigation Of

self to 1.-THE Statute for Religious
Freedom" He concluded rs follows:
ITO Jefferson the doctrine Of free
speech and freedom of opinion applied
to everything, because he rightly un-
derstood that no censorship of Opin-
ion could be permitted that would not
be more dangerous to truth than to
error, for those who are conscious OF
the righteousness of their aus are
not so apt to invoke force in defense
OF their opinions as those who are n
scious of error and who, recognizing
their inability to defend their views
by reason, fall back upon coercion.
In the preamble Of the act OF 1776 it
is stated, first, that the propagation OF
religion by force is contrary to the
plan of God, the author of our religion.
Attention is called to the fact that the
Almighty being Lord both of the
body and the mind, yet chose not to
propagate by co%ercions of either
Declaration Based on Love.
Jefferson recognized that the Chris
ton religion rested upon love, and
that love is the very antithesis of the
brute force. 1t is we'll remembered
that the declaration of independence
itself rests upon the same foundation
which supports III religion, love, and
those who deny the doctrine of hui
man brotherhood r not apt to re-
spect the creed of inalienable rights
and natural equality embodied in the
declaration of independence and the
constitution OF the United States.
Jefferson was the greatest states
man known to history. He believed
in the rights of the people and had a
heart large enough to take in all hui
mankind. He hated tyranny whether
it manifested itself in religious or
secular affairs, and applied his doc
! trines to all questions"

Young Fairbanks and Miss Robbins

Hot Springs, s. D., April H.
Claude Fairbanks and Miss Robbins,
aged about % and Is years respective.
ly, arrived here and procured a mar
riage license, but while waiting for
Justice Cook to come to his Office to
tie the knot, Marshall Dorman receiv-
ed a telegram from the girls parents
at Sheridan, Wyo., to arrest the couple
and prevent their marriage, as they
were clippers. The marshal lodged
the twain in Jail to await develop
ments.
It. is learned that the young folks
live with their parents upon neighbor-
ing ranches near Sheridan, Wyo., and
that the parents of the girl objected
to the attention of young Fairbanks,
but the girl encouraged the young
man, and they saddled up two bron-
chos. Miss Robbins disguised herself
in a suit of her lovers clothes and
away they sped across the bleak
plains of Wyoming to Moorcroft, IS
miles distant, riding all night in a
fierce snow storm.
Upon reaching Moorcroft the girl
donned her skirts and they took the
Burlington train for Hot Springs.
Marshal Dorman held the truants
for the arrival of those interested,
but in the meantime young Fairbanks
employed an attorney, who went to
Deadwood to interview Judge MCGEE
and procure a writ of habeas corpus.
This was obtained and the runaways
expected to be taken before Judge
MCGEE for a hearing, but the persons
representing the parents arrived and
were not long in withdrawing COM
plants, and the couple were promptly
married.

ONE MORE COUNTERFEIT
ANOTHER SPURIOUS 81 BILL
TURNS UP IN BUTTE.
Woman Detects Bad Note When It
10 Presented to Her and
Calls the Police.

Butte, April 13.-Another counter
felt 81 bill turned up in Butte yester-
day when a man entered the Cam
pana grocery at 500 West Park street
and offered spurious note in pay
ment for a small purchase. Mrs. Cam
pana, who waited on the man, had
read of the counterfeits, and at once
became suspicious. Under a pretense
of going to the real of the store to
make change, she went to the tele-
phone and quietly informed Detective
Murphy that a Shower" Of the queer"
was at the store. Murphy made all
haste to the store, but was too late to
get his man, as the latter became JUS
picious and fed before Mrs. Campana
could get from the telephone to where
she had left the man in the forward
part of the store. Mrs. Campana had
a good look at the man, however, and
was able to give Murphy an excellent
description. The entire police force
was furnished with the description,
and a general lookout will be kept
for the man.
The police believe that several Of
the counterfeit 81 bills are in circula-
ton in Butte. So far only three have
been detected, but it is thought it
will be a question of only a few days
before several merchants will dis
cover that they have been victimized.
The discovery will surely come when
the bills reach the banks, as all the
local institutions have received warn
ings from the secret service depart
ment to be on the lookout for the spu-
rious notes.
The first counterfeit was discovered
on Friday night, when Frank Deyott
and Peter Petersen, saloon keepers,
each found one of the bills in his cash
register. 1t is supposed the bills were
taken in during the day by busy bar
tenders, who either did not know OF
the existence of the counterfeits or in
a rush did not particularly notice the
bills. The proprietors had read OF the
c~ounterfeits. The press dispatches
sent out by the head of the secret
service department at Washington a
few days before contained a general
warning and sufficient of a description
of the counterfeit to make it easily
detected. The result was that when
Messrs. Deyott and Petersen each
found a new 50 bill in making up his
respective cash, they saw the notes
were counterfeits. Both merchants
notified Detective Murphy and he has
since been at work endeavoring to
locate the man who Showed" the
counterfeits. No trace of the man
was found until yesterday, when he
visited the Campana store. Now that
a good description of him has been
obtained, the chances of his arrest are
increased.

spoke in part as follows:
Patron Saint Of All.
IF we want a sure proof of Thomas
Jefferson's greatness it will be found
in the fact that men of every variety
of political opinion, however far asun-
der, find confirmation of their doctrine
in him. Every party in this country
today .reckons Jefferson as it's patron
saint. In my youth the political abo-
litionists made appeals to Jefferson as
the burden of their songs. In the late
discussion which rent the country
about the Philippines one side quoted
what Mr.. Jefferson said in the declara.
ton Of independence and the other
what they thought he did in the &C
QUESTION of Louisiana. Every politi-
cal sect finds it's political doctrine in
Jefferson. almost as every religious
sect finds it's doctrines in the sayings
Of the Savior OF Mankind.
THE friend of state rights calls at
tention to the fact that Jefferson
spoke of the government OF the Unit
