The present visit to this country of Cardinal satolli, several years ago papai delegate at Washington, will be marked by one of the most elaborate wedding ceremonies ever seen outside of Rome
 In regard to the approaching event a writer in the Louisville Courier-Jonrnal says:
 The bride will be Miss Margaret Ma loney, a small, slim, brown-haired. brown-eyed Philadelphia girl. The brige- groom will be Carbery Ritchie, a young lawyer of Washington City.
 The ceremony will be performed by his grace, Archbishop Ryan of Pennsylvania, assisted by the bishop of Trenton, with their heighnesses, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and Satolli of Rome who is coming to this country largely for this purpose, so 1t Is rumored, and his grace. the archbishop of New York, witnessing.
 The ceremony will take place at St. Catherine's Memorial church, at Spring Lake, N J., which was built at a cost of half million dollars by the brides fath- CT in memory of his eldest daughter, Catherine Maloney, who died on an Att lantic liner five years ago. In official dignity and churchly splendor. the we'd ding will eclipse any ceremony of the kind ever heretofore witnessed in Amer ica.
 l Tc hare papal duke perform we'd d'rgs ceremony is a very high honor for 1 bride in the United States but to have two papal princes, with several archbish- ops and bishops to participate in such an 1 affair, is unheard of outside of the holy city, and has very seldom been equalled | there.
