 ELEGANT BAEQUET SPREAD.
 In the dining hall the color scheme of pinI and white, beau tifully carHed out in the overhead and table decorations a most qlrapturing scene greeted the eyes of the company as they wers seated at long ta- bles which Stretched from end to end of the capacious dining hall.
 ! Cut flowers and fern leaves, too, contributed to the effect of bountifully laden tables. The delicacies of the banquet em- braced turkey, tongue, ham; chicken, shrimp and potato sal ads, cranberries, celery, olives, pickles, cheese, brick cream in the prevailing colors, macca- rooms, individual cakes bearing the initials "B. C." nuts, fruits, almonds and peppermints. To all this was added the rich flavor of Madeira, claret, champagne and beer. To relate the enjoy ment of so sumptuous a banquet is hardly necessary.
 MT. Charles Meyer, acting as toastmaster, proposed a toast to the fair bride and called upon Rabbi Wolsey, who responded in a very happy vein of humor, closing his remarks with a beau tiful peroration on marriage. Messrs. Gustave Jones, Joseph M. Stayton and c. E. Erwin made timely and appropriate re- sponses that were well received upon the part of the company.
 A score or more telegrams of congratulation, expressing re- gret at not being able to be present, had been received from outside friends, which it was intended should be read, but owing to the large number pres ent, many of whom did not secure seats at the first table, their reading was dispensed with.
 DANCE FOLLOWS BANQUET.
 A Little Rock orchestra had furnished music for the occasion, enliyening the banquet hall, and after the dining hall had been cleared the waltz and two-step were enjoyed until the hours of morning heralded the near ap- preach of day. The hospitality of MT. and Mrs. Bernstein is never half-hearted and the man. agement of this delightful nup- tial affair in celebrating the mar riage of their daughter, was so well performed that even former social successes have been sur 1 passed.
 The bride and groom, whose future home will be in Fulton, Ky, left that night on bridal trip to New Orleans. They carry with them the congratulations and best wishes of many friends who would hope that the new life of bonded love may have rich treasures of prosperity and hap piness in store for them.

HIS AUTH0RI(
Letter From Colonel Minor to4 A. Watkins Anent the Davis|
 Loan Made Public.

Attorney ". B. Smith of LittA Rock, who has been called upoN, to give his authority for thM statement that Davis had seA3 cured a loan of $1,000 from the9 Arkansas Bank < Trust Company upon the endorsement of Mrs. Robert Simmons and others, has produced a letter from Colonel F. Minor to J. A. Watkins, affirming the making of this loan.
 From the facts, which have of late become known, and the affi- davit of that institution IS cashier, Charles c. Henry, it is evident that the letter of Colonel Minor was based upon a misunderstand-. ing of the purposes and parties to the note in question.
 The affidavit of Cashier Henry should certainly be sufficient au- thority for the retraction of the charge made by Attorney Smith, who has written the following letter to the Gazette
 To the Editor of the Gazette:
 The statement made by me in my address Tuesday night before the Carroll D. Wood club of Lit tie Rock that Jeff Davis had bor- rowed from the Arkansas Bank & Trust Company of Newport, Ark, $1,000 and gave his note therefor with the signatures of Mrs. M. k. Simmons, her brother, Baxter Watson, Charles Wilmans, his wife, Hettie E. Wilmans, and another of the Wilmans boys, and that Mrs. M. E. Simmonss was the wife of Robert Simmons, who had been convicted in the circuit court of Jackson county. in large number of cases for the unlawful sale of whisky and fined in sums aggregating $3, BOG and had been pardoned by Davis and the fines remitted, having been denied by Davis supporters in order that there may be no misunderstanding ofsfny author Iity for the statement made by me submit herewith to the pub lie, by permission, the following letter written by l.. Minor, a director of the Arkansas Bank < Trust Company, to J. A. Wat kins of this city:
 Newport, Ark. Jan. 22, 1904. J. A. Watkins, Esq., Little Rock,
 Arkansas.
 Dear Sir In relation to the matter you asked me about, I find these to be the facts: Jeff Davis did make a note for 5000, due twelve months after datep Jo'- Arkansas Bank and Trust Com pany of Newport. The collateral note is signed by Mrs. Hettie B. ], R. D. and c. H. Wilmans, Peter Anderson & Co.,, M. E. Simmons and Baxter Watson. On this note they got the $1, 1000. This, of course, 1 got through the bank as one of the directors andN shall expect you to use it withsdue circumspection, as I don't want the bank involved or myself.
 Yours truly,

Marriage of Miss Blanche Bern. stein to Dr. Seldon Cohn Beautifully Performed By Rabbi Wolsey
 Banquet And
 Ball Follow.

1JCll 4 OIIOW.
 The sacred solemnity of the marriage VOWS is beautifully re- cognized in the Hebrew service. The significance and full portent of promises that are never ended nntil death do us part, is dwelt upon in symbolism so natural, simple and true, that the effect falls both upon witnesses and those for whom it is primarily meant. It is the heritage of an ancient race who have ever held in highest reverence the marriage rite and who have embellished Its forceful ritual through his- HfW of nearly four thousand yearS by appropriate and effec- tive syhohols.
 Newport society thronged the parlors and lobby of the Hotel Hazel long before the appointed hour Monday evening, as the ap- preaching wedding had been a much-talked-of and keenly an- ticipaled event. To this home assemblage was added the faces of many visitors, friends and rela- tives of the contracting parties. The pretty costumes worn and the loveliness of beauty thus adorned, together with the rare efforts of the decorators art in the parlor's floral ornaments, fur nished ample study and contem- plation for the guests prior to the strains of Mendlessohn's.

His words were liquid streams of eloquence as he passed in turn from the slipping of the cup of joy to the ring ser vice in which both bride and groom placed upon the others finger this seal of their devotion and < then tasted of the cup of sorroW, which they were to bear as ona through life, even as with life's pleasures and successes.
