modified form by II pages, bearing
thick candles about two and a half
feet tall.
The crown prince took the hand OF
the crown princess and walked slowly
behind the pages, keeping step to the
music around quadrangle formed by
men and women standing ten feet
deep along the sides of the drawing
room, which is 105 by so feet, all bow
ing as the bridal couple passed. The

and the crown prince led his mother

lasted more than four hours.

spent at Hubertusstock, a hunting
lodge in a large forest near Ebers-
walde Prussia.

FLOOD AT GRAND RAPIDS.
Enormous Damage Results from the
Overflow of Grand River

Grand Rapids, Mich, June 9.-The
Grand river is still steadily rising
here. The only encouraging news
comes from up river points, where the
water is reported to be stationary or
falling. Many residences in the South
End are completely surrounded by
deep and swift currents. Workmen
are struggling frantically to keep the
north end dyke from going to pieces
and it seems to be about an even
chance whether they will succeed.
Yesterday afternoon the southwest
portion of the city was inundated and
a lake two miles long and mile wide
was formed. Whole blocks of houses
were flooded and many manufacturing
plants were forced to shut down. Six
thousand men were thrown out of
work. Hundreds of acres of farm
land are under water from two to five
feet. Farmers have suffered heavily
from Holland as far north as Traverse
City. Whole sections have been inun-
dated and deep furrows dug in the
fields by the. rushing water Crops are
devastated over almost this entire
section. There may be an aggregate
damage to farm property alone of
million dollars.
The situation in railroad lines is
steadily improving, the only line in the
city which is very seriously affected
being the Grand Trunk, which is still
tied up completely east and west.
Three large dams at White Cloud,
Hesperia and Ferry were washed
completely away.
