MINER QUITS HIS BRIDE.
Californian Is Cut Off From the
tfa Yerkes Millions.

Chicago, Feb. l9-Another Soldier of
fortune" has been separated from fond
wife and millions OF dollars. The world
scarcely had recovered from the shock
that accompanied the separation of the
Count and Countess De Castellane, when
the news comes that Wilson Miner, and
his bride of scarce three weeks, the for
mer Mrs. Charles T.. Yerkes, have had a
quarrel and are separated. Chicago will
get a 81 100000 hospital as one result of
the disagreement, it is authoritatively
stated.
The alfectionate couple disagreed, it
is stated, chiefly because Mrs. Miner
would not give her husband enough
spending money Also, because she
wouldn't insist upon her dover rights
and make a will in his favor. The gay
Wilson, the athletic siXfooter, left the
Yerkes mansion, New York, last We'd
nesday, in huff, with the declared in
tention of going to California. He is
said to have departed with the two
suit cases and hatbox that he carried
when he moved from his hotel over to
the Yerkes mansion, and to have spoken
in an ill-natured way to the servants
as he called for cab.

greatly admired was that of Mrs. John
Jacob Aston, who was among the invited
guests. 1t was of mauve chiffon vel
vet, princess style, the waist opening
over vest of silver cloth embroidered
in gold and set with amethysts. The
skirt was trimmed around the bottom
with bias bands of the mauve velet,
edged with silver braid. The sleeves
were of velcet, elbow length, skshed up
the center and showing the silver cloth
and embroidery as in the vest.
Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister of the
president, wore costume of reseda col
ored panne velvet, empire style, the
short loose jacket being of velvet and
lace. with bands of sable A broad band
of sable encircled the skirt at the bot
tom.
Mrs. r. Fulton Cutting wore a gown
of gray chiffon cloth, empire effect, elab-
orately embroidered with chenille of the
same color.

displayed in dresses and millinery at the
wedding that it would lead too far to

lockwood, which will be the future
nome of the young couple, is an old
mansion of Colonial style, located on
grounds one hundred acres in extent.
The residence faces Grandn road East
Walnut hills. 1t was built by Joseph
Longworth, and is crowded with art
treasures.
The grounds of lockwood consist of
rolling meadowland and groves of native
forest trees. The groves are criss- crossed
by tanbark walks and hard gravel drives.
Rustic bridges span ravines of the open
fields. Greenhouses. stables, and kennels
contribute to the comforts and pleasures
of the occupants of lockwood.
The place is a part of the cow pas
ture the first Nicholas bought from Judge
Burnet more than three-quarters of a
century ago. On it is a small one and
a half story frame house that the founder
built for himself before he had acquired
great wealth. 1t is preserved as it was
then. The rustic fence i'm front encloses
beds of marigolds and asters. and i'm the
vegetable garden in the rear flourish
veteran stalks of thyme. hoarhound and
other medicinal herbs.

few of the most striking costumes
Many of the younger women, girl
friends of the bride, were dressed in
white and wore handsome and becoming
picture hats.
The Wedding Luncheon.
After the wedding party had left the
East room the invited guests formed in
groups and gradually made their way to
the famous blue room where the we'd
ding luncheon was to be served. 1t was
fully one o'clock when Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth made their appear
ance.
When Mrs. Longworth returned to the
guests, she wore charming reception
gown of the richest white silk, cut low
in the neck, trimmed with a bertha OF
rare lace, sleeves dropping off the shout
der into puff, finished with a band OF
lace just above the elbow. The body OF
the skirt and the bodice was ornamented
with beautiful embroidered butterflies
of various sizes. The smaller ones IN
the upper part of the dress were Hat
while the larger ones toward the bottom
of the dress had raised wings. The
young bride looked charming in the rich
gown and radiantly happy.
The happy couple were surrounded by
the guests, who showered their congratu-
lations upon the groom and their most
.,-ts. nj icha

The Decorations.
Nearly every one of those present had

life to attend social functions on prince

magnificent decorations ut weddings or
big state functions. Nevertheless all
were struck by the exquisite beauty of
the decorative arrangements carried out
in every detail ,at this wedding. The
quiet elegance of the East room and
the other rooms and corridors formed a
suitable background for the truly artis-

blood was ever so overwhelmed with
wedding presents as Mrs. Longworth.
For weeks wedding gifts of every de-
scription have been flowing into the
White House. until the library was act
ually filled with the gifts. They came
from every part of the United States,
from every corner of the world and va
ried in value from a few dollars to q
Probably the greatest number of we'd
ding gifts ever received by any bride in
this country was that received by Miss
Frederick Webb, who married Ralph
Pulitzer few months ago. The gifts
on that occasion numbered more than
5000 and. as the bride was Vanderbilt
many of the gifts were very handsome
and costly. But the gifts showered upon
Miss Webb seem almost insignificant
compared with the countless and mag
nificent presents received by Mrs Long
worth.
Gifts of Royalty.
One of the most beautiful presents sent
to the bride of the White House by one
of the foreign governments is a fine gobe-
lin. the wedding gift of the French Re-
public. through it's President 1t is a
piece of tapestry. two feet wide and four
feet long and was made at the National
Gobelin mandatory of France. The de-
sign is very handsome and is reproduc-
ton of painting by Ehrman of Strass-
burg, an Alsatian artist. renowned dur
ing the middle part of the last century.
Emperor Williams gift to the bride
was q handsome bracelet artiStically
wrought in gold and ieweled. 1t was pre-
scented to the bride through the German
ambassador Baron Speck Won Sternberg
The Empress Dowager of China sent a
curiously wrought treasure chest. covered
with beautiful carvings and filled with
costly silks. satinS, brocadeS, ivory cary
ings. lacouers, etc.
The King and Queen of Italy sent a
fine piece Of mosaic from the Government
Mosaic Works in Venice.
The Cuban Republic sent magnificent
gift in the form of collar of pearls val
ued at more than $4,000. 1t was pre-
scented through Mr.. Quesada. the Cuban
Minister in this CITY. The money for the
present was specially appropriated by the
Cuban congress.
Rich and Poor Contribute.
Nothing gives stronger proof Of the
popularity of the bride than the fact that
all parts of the world We're by no means
all sent by wealthy people or the heads
of governments. Many of the gifts came
from comparatively poor people, farmers
and others not richly endowed with
worldly goods. From those sources the
bride has received enough vtuals to feed
a good sized family for q year Among
the gifts were potatoes. all kinds of veg
etables and fruit. pumpkins eggs, and
even coal in generous quantities.
Among the countless gifts from veal
thy friends of the Roosevelt family is a
large silver pitcher three feet high
which Mr.. James Stillman had made to
order by a New York firm.
Two other superb gifts came from the
Ambassador to Great Britain and Mrs
Whitelaw Reid and from the Secretary
of State and Mrs. Root. The ambassa-
doris present is a beautiful and costly dog
collar of pearls and diamonds. while that
of Secretary Root is beautiful emerald
chain.

CONRIED ENGAGES PUCCINI
The Composer to Receive $4,000 for su.

In the conflict between Heinrich Con-
ried and Oscar Hammerstein as to the
right to produce the Pucclni operas in
this city the impresario of the Metro
politan opera house has taken the pre-
caution to have the composer on his
side. It will cost him considerable
sum to secure this valuable co-opera-
ton, but Mr. Conreid evidently thinks
it worth the money. He has. engaged
Signor Puccini to come to New York

rations for the first performances IN

will be sung at the metropolitan III

for some years, SO he will be able to do
no more than give his advice at re-
hearsals. . For this Mr.. Conriel has
