lea, which will be held at Madison

Wedding Photographed

T A novel feature of the wedding last
night was photographing the bride
and groom during the ceremony and
taking the picture of the entire we'd
ding party, church interior and its oc-
cupants after the ceremony. Before
the wedding photographer mounted
the pulpit set up his tripod, adjusted
his camera, black cloth and all, and
those present TO witness the ceremony
feared they were about TO be unwilling
victims of a snap shot and were all
going to have their pictures took. =
This proved to be erroneous, as the
photographer was harmless and had
intentions only on the bride and
groom. The organ pealed forth Men
delssohn's wedding march at the close
of the ceremony, when 10, the peal
was silenced, the photographer raised
his left hand and with his right sent
off flash and pulled the trigger-or
rather pressed the rubber bal. All
was over and the wedding party and
witnesses looking pleasant" as best
they could under the circumstances,
breathed once more.

battleship Kearsarge, on which he was
serving his final course, has been ar
rested in New York and will probably
be tried by court-martial for desertion.

Midshipman Arrowood had apparently
been dissatisfied with his environment.
Orders were issued for his transfer to
the battleship Illinois. The young

Midshipman Arrowood who took
French leave rendered his resigna-

he was about to complete the two
years cruise following graduation
from the Naval Academy. Secretary
Morton refused to accept the resigna-
tioD on the ground that the Govern
ment was entitled to some service
from the man after having educated
him. Upon being thus refused Ar
rowood left the Kearsarge and appar-
emily went direct to New York. He
was arrested there last Monday by
Secret Service men, who found him
through a registered letter addressed
TO him at the postoffice. He was liv-
ing in a house in East Fifty -sitxh
street and had been working for real
estate firm since he left the battle.

There was story at the navy yard
at New York last night that young
Arrowood had said he had left the
navy because he didn't like his asso-
ciates. 1t was said that he thought
many of them were of immoral char
acter and that he did not believe a
Christian gentleman could associate
with them and remain such. The
Judge Advocated General will decide
what the nature of the charge against
Arrowood will be. He is not. it is
said, regarded as a prisoner ON board

known here. He stood we'll in his
classes at the Naval Academy and is a
member of the First Presbyterian
