THE TRAIL LOST.
7averhiIl Officers Accomplish Nothing
in Locating Burglars

Haverhill Mass. Nov. 1O.-The local
police, in company with State officers
hammond and Officer Atwood Nixon of
Merrimac, put in busy day III an eff
lort TO run down the four men who
fopDed the safe in the post office at
Merrlmac, after locking UP Officer Nix
on this morning. They succeeded in
tracing the men as far as Ipswich,
where all trace was lost. The conclu-
sion reached by the officers, tonight,
was That one or more of the burglars
was either Haverhill man or at least
entlrely familiar with certain property
here
Ials conclusion is based upon the
1act that the horse and carriage used
py uhe men and afterwards left in Mer-
flinac, was stolen here under peculiar
circumstances. The horse taken was
from the barn of the Peoples Ice Co.
IL was the only horse driven single in
the barn. TO reach the horse the man
passed the stable of q other horses and
apparently had no difficulty in finding
the right harness. The officers reason
mat only a person familiar with the
premises cobld nave done this.
The officers learned, today, that the
burglars made their way to the scene
of the burglary on foot to Merrimac-
port, thence to Rocks village over the
village and through West NeWbury to
Georgetown. There at O'Clock they
boarded an electric car for Ipswich, at
which place the trail was lost.

The floral decorations of the house
were to be as elegant as simple They
were arranged by Small. The bridal
couple received at the Fifth avenue
end of the long drawing room. They
di not stand under a regulation canopy,
such as is often seen at weddings. but
instead there was suspended overhead
a sort of veil of vines and orchids.
On the mantels We're placed roses and
other cut flowers in vases. The buffet
table had nothing but red roses. In the
nall were garlands of American Beauty
roses and yellow spray orchids, while
along the grand stairway was extend
ed a line of American Beauty roses
The fireplace was massed with white
chrysanthemums and autumn foliage.
The gown worn by the bride was eX-
quisite. 1t was made almost entirely
of very old point d'Angleterre lace over
heavy white satin, the foundation be-
ing covered with tulle that supported
the lace. giving q fluffy effect There
were also garlands of the English hGw-
thorn, which is also called the May
flower, and of orange blossoms as we'll.
The high neck bodies had frill of the
same lace, of which also the sleeves
were made Her veil was of tullc
held in place by orange blossoms.
Scarcely any jewels were worn, the
one ornament consisting of a diamond
and emerald pendant, the dukes gift.
The bridal bouquet was of white Or
chids and lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids gowns We're of pink
oil AZ c.1.o r
style, combined with ecru lace. Just
below the waist line were embroidered
in raised work baskets of flowers. The
hats were in the form of toques, OF
pink velvet, edged with sable, and
muffs, also of the same colored velvet
trimmed with sable were carried in
place of bouquets. These had attached
to them clusters of pink roses.
Mrs. Goelet, the brides mother, wore
a gown of Nile green panne velvet en-
broidered with seed pearls and
trimmed with point d'AIencon lace. She
wore a toque to correspond.
The brides going away gown was OF
gray cloth embroidered with gold The
waist was Of yellow lace, with bretelles
of the gray cloth, also embroidered
with gold. A jacket of the cloth was
worn and hat of gray velet to CORE
spond. There$was also for this going
away costume long coat of sealskin,
made very much like an automobile
coat. Miss Goelet had many beautiful
negligee gowns in her trousseau, made
OF chiffon Of delicate shades.
The Duke and the Duchess left the
Goelet residence in a carriage tn which
at the last moment a long white stream

drove to the Grand Central station,
where they entered a private car at

mostly women, whom force of 200 pO-
licemen were powerless to hold in check.
Before the service began several hun
dred women gained entrance to the
church and seated themselves in the
galleries from which they were forcibly
dialodged by a squad of police a few
minutes before the arrival of the bride.
When the carriages containing the

horses and in their efforts to see the

them getting on the steps and thrusting

THE NORTH POLE
Belongs to the United States
Says Lieut.. Peary. ~.
Gives Plans to Reach It, Before Royal
Geographical Society.
The Last Great Prize of Kind World
Has to Offer.

London, Nov. 10.-Commander Peary.
U. S. ~, lectured before the Royal
Geographical Society, tonight in the
presence of Ambassador Choate, Sec
rotary White and many other distin-
guished persons. Peary said his future
plans were based on the belief that the
Smith sound route to the North pole
was the only practicable one. He
wished to win the pole for America be-
cause it was the last great geographic
cal prize THE world had to offer and it
was peculiarly an object of American
pride and patriotism. America was
now negotiating for the isthmus of Pa
mama. The other natural and logical
boundary to her destiny was the North
pole. He hoped by winning the pole
for his country to appropriately crown
her four centuries of struggle, heroism
and achievement.
