The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-03-29

General of the army. to miss Aramende
Lowell, of Bath. Me. The ceremony
took place in this city on March Is,
a Methodist clergyman officiating. The
marriage is the sequal to a romance
begun three years ago in the Philip
pines, where the bride was with her
SISTER Mrs. Cooper, wife of Lieut..
george +. Cooper, L. S. N, and the
groom was serving as secretary of the
philippine Commission. An engage
ment was entered into at that time be-
tween the young people, but was
strenously opposed by both families.
Young Corbin came home and took
up Journalism in Washington. Soon
afterwards Lieut.. Cooper was ordered
to Annapolis, and his young sister-in-
law came a-visiting. Annapolis, as
everybody knows, is next door, so TO
say, to the National Capital. Miss
Lowell came over one fine day, met
her quondom lover and old ties were
at once renewed. Mindful of PARENTAL
opposition, the youthful pair decided,
then and there, to take fate into their
own hands. They hailed a passing cab
secured a license and repaired at once
to little church on Capitol Hill,
whose young pastor is a friend of Mr.
COrbin. OF course the two families
will now make the best of the situa-
ton and pretend that all along they
have entertained no objection. Gen.
Corbin and his wife are absent from
the city, being guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwin Gould at Jeckyl Island. Mr.
| and Mrs. Rutherford Corbin have
taken rooms in a modest apartment
house, where they will be at home TO
their friends after Easter.
Mrs d GoOIo1Ion .
the famous general whose dilatory
movements gave rise to the historic
| phrase, "All is quiet along the Poto-
mac" has been spending the winter
! at the Hotel Richmond in this city.
Just now she is in New York city, but
will sail in few days for Europe, to
remain indefinitely. In Paris she will
visit her daughter. Mrs. Paul Desprey.
The Count and Countess de Castel-
lane, the latter formerly Miss Anna
Could, spent several days in Wash
ington last week, doing the sights
of the city in true democratic tourist
fashion. They called on the President,
| by appointment, and drove to the
| White House in an ordinary hired
! hanson, whose driver never suspected
that he was carrying a sprig of French
nobility. The little Count, who looks
a good deal more like a man than he
uSeQ 10, was eXqulSlJely dressed from
the top of his silken tile to the toes
of his shining shoes; but the Coun-
tess wore a simple cloth suit of navy
blue, with felt hat to match and
veil of blue chiffon. After their visit
to the President, a few reporters be-
set them in the lobby, with whom
they chatted pleasantly for a few mo-
ments and left with smiling good byes.
| They were accompanied to Washing
ton only by a valet and maid The
Count and Countess returned to New
York on Monday and will sail for Paris
April 1.
Mrs. L. Letter and Miss Daisy Lei
ter have reached Paris en- route
from Bombay. Mr.. Letter did not ac-
company them to India, where they
were the guests of the Viceroy of In
dia and Lady Curzon during the
recent coronation durbar; but with
his second daughter, Miss Nancy Lie
ter. has remained quietly most OF
the winter at his home in this city.
Either foreign society must be very
| impolite and much given to jealousy
or what else can the matter be to
cause so many American correspon-
dents who visited India at the time
of the durbar to take up cudgels in
defense of the Letters? The pen peo-
pie aforesaid Indignantly deny that
the wife of the Viceroy had reason to
