Mrs. George c. Schwegman and

riage license by the clerk of the
Wayne circuit court last Saturday
and the same was published in the
Palladium. Friends Of both parties
knew they We're to be married, but
the particulars of the affair were kept
quiet.
A dispatch from st. Louis this
morning tells the story Of their Sc
eretly leaving Richmond and securing
a marriage license there and getting
married. Following is the dispatch:
st. Louis, September 1.-When
George c. Schwegman and Miss Anna
Melle bid their friends in Richmond
goodby and started for the World s
Fair no one suspected that they con-
templated an elopement. Later de-
velopments however, indicate that
marriage was uppermost in the minds
of the couple.
Bright and early Monday morning
they having arrived IN st. Louis the
night previous, Schwegman and Miss
NELLIE hied themselves to the city hall,
and, after procuring marriage IL
eense, were welded by the Rev. Faith
er Collins of st. Agnes s church.
The thing was done so quickly and
so quietly that even Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Sostemeyer, who chaperoned the
couple from Richmond scarcely knew
what was happening until it was all
over.

relatives said Schwegman Wednes-

DIR. Leon H. Vincent took for his
morning institute subject, "Thaek-
cray as Man and Writer -
Thackeray was born in India bu.
received his education in England.
He inherited fortune at an early
age, munificent enough to last him
all of his life, but because Of his
great liberality, and his inability 10
care for such things, the last penny
was gone at the end of eighteen
months. His relation to Charter
House school was Of little value to
him, which was of course, due to the
characteristics of the man himself.
Thackeray was great proeastinator
and he did it so well that his friends
all admired him for it. He would de-
hay his work for some time and then
going at il with vigor would get Il
all out o. the way. Many amusing
incidents were told by the speaker
which gave his hearers true and last
ing mental pictures of Thackeray as
man.
N Thackeray was burlesque write~

was not, however, until he wrote Van

conditions. A definite sense training
