The conclusion of this little domes-
tic drama will be most fifty told in the
glowing language of "a descriptive arti
Gle which appeared in the New York
Herald on the morning of October 25,
1899:
The aristocratic chapel of st. An
drew's Methodist church yesterday
witnessed the celebration of a double
marriage, the splendor and solemnity
OF which has produced a profound SEN
sation felt through the highest rank of
New York society.
1.-THE charming and beautiful Miss
Lille Cumming, daughter of DR.. Rufus
P. Cumming, ex-president of the EN-
pire bank, was welded to Mr.. julius
Smart, Jr., of the Inter-Ocean bank of
Chicago, which establishment he now
quits to undertake the important du-
ties of chief cashier of the Empire
bank
On the same suspicious occasion the
Hon. Jack Smart late principal cashier.
of the Empire bank, led to the altar
the still youthful and ever lovely Nelly
Mary Westmore, daughter of the late
Col. Hiram D. Westmore, a man bril-
liantly associated with the triumphs of
the civil war.
"The service was conducted with the
utmost dignity, not unmixed with emo.
ton, by the Rev. Sullivan Smart. the
mappy father of the two bridegrooms.
Needless to say, he found the occasion
excellently suitable for the delivery of
one of those eloquent addresses which
have placed him in the first rank of
American pulpit orators.
Both Jack and julius Smart are
self-made men and the heirs of their
own achievements. The example of
their happiness and prosperity cannot
fail to have a salutary effect upon the
commercial youth of the Empire city
They will here find in the well-meritei
success OF the Smart brothers yet an,
other proof of the high rewards which
await untiring industry and irreproach-
able probity, united with gentlemanly
department and inspired by that IN,
domitable energy which is character
istic of the American princes of indus
try.
"The Rev. Sullivan Smart and his
two sons are equally an honor to their
family name, to their corporation and
our metropolis. for they are worthy
citizens of the great American repub-
lie. We may add that the Empire
bank has been selected by the Toronto
Rapids railway company to act as its
financial agents and to receive sub
scriptions for the increased capital
consequent upon the approaching ex-
tension of the line"
On the eveningof the marriage. after
the happy couples had departed for the
south on their honeymoon. DIR. Rufus
Cumming sat down and wrote the fol.
lowing letter to the chief of the private
detective central bureau:
Dear Sir: While inclosing checks
in response to yours of yesterday,
cannot refrain from expressing the en-
tire satisfaction of both myself and
my co-director. Mr.. Jack Smart, with
the invaluable services for which we
are indebted to your bureau. From
the point of view of rapidity, accuracy
OF information and the absolute discre
ton of its employees, the private de
tective central bureau deserves. and
will no doubt continue to receive, the
entire confidence of those who have
delicate negotiations to be carried
through. I personally shall always
have the greatest pleasure in recon-
mending it with the most perfect con-
fidence. Yours very faithfully, Rufus
P. Cumming.
