during the last fifty years, notably
the international marriage of Nellie
Grant and Algernon Sartoris while
Gen. Grant was president. Happily,
the circumstances surrounding Nellie
Grants wedding are not applicable to
the courtship and the approaching
nuptials of Miss Alice Roosevelt. The
marriage of Miss Roosevelt to Mr..
Longworth is not only heartily sane
toned by her devoted father, but 1t
meets with the cordial approval of
the whole nation. Such was not the
case on Nellie Grants wedding day.
1t is understood that Miss Roosevelt
Is to be married in the east room,
and that the ceremony will surpass
any event of similar nature in the
annals of the white house, so far as
social festivities are concerned.
There have been many alterations
in the white house building since
Gen. Grant was president, but the
beautiful home life of the Grants Is
daily recalled by the natural Ameri-
can home atmosphere which Presl-
dent Roosevelt and his happy family
create. The home life of Gen. Grant
was somewhat similar to that of
President Roosevelt. Gen. Grant
was devoted to his family and the
happiest moments of his life were
passed in the sweet companionship of
his children. The pride of Gen.
Grants heart was his only daughter
Nellie, and the outside world prob
ize. how hard 1t was for him to give
her in marriage to the dashing young
Engishman. Sartoris, who subse
quently proved himself unworthy OF
the love of the daughter of the presi
dent.

Vitality of the Ant.

Ants have wonderful power Of ex-
listing long periods after losing i'm
portant parts of their bodies which
are not reproduced. They have been
known to live two weeks without the
abdomen, which is so bulky in proper
ton to the rest CT the insect. Under
the most favorable circumstances an
ant may live more than a month after
its head had been cut OFF. One case
is recorded in which the rest of the
ant moved about forty-one days after
decapitation. Ants also revive after
being submerged in water for many
days. although they seem to be dead
a few minutes after they are i'm

At the Grant Wedding.

The east room was profusely deco
rated with growing plants and cut
flowers. A floral wedding bell was
suspended directly over the raised plat
form on which the bridal party was TO
stand and the window shades were
closely drawn so as TO render more eff
fective the hundreds of lights which
glistened from the beautiful crystal
chandeliers which formerly illuminat-
ed the state apartment.
Several hundred guests, including
members of the cabinet, the corps dip
lomatique, officers of the army and
navy in full uniform, members of con-
gress, the judiciary and outof-town
guests, were present The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. o. II. Tiff.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there. and in this way they all present

arate and distinct diseases for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality. they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The SUI
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse by reason of the delay. wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-

United States navy.
There were present also at this inn
posing and exclusive ceremony about
ten unbidden guests. These intruders
were the members of a boys baseball
club, of which Jesse Grant was the
leading spirit. The club was known
as the Junior Unions. Its playground
was in the white house hot, immediate
ly south of the white house, and the
clubhouse was one of the basement
rooms in the executive mansion. A
game had been arranged to take place
on the day of the wedding and was in
progress by 1890 O'Clock.

UNLIMITED Guests.

While Jesse Grant was not able to
play that day, his interest in the team
induced him, after dressing for the
wedding. to slip down to the ball
ground and suggest that substitute
for himself be pressed into service.
After Jesse had returned home one of
his eliminates proposed that the game
be suspended and that the members of
the team go to the wedding in a body.
At that moment the marine band at
the white house struck up the wedding
march. so on dashed the boys for the
scene of action, carrying with them
their soiled hands and faces, bats and
ball.
Upon reaching the main entrance, to
their surprise and delight they found
the door unguarded. The officers and
ushers, usually on duty, had joined the
crowd in the east room to witness the
ceremony. So intense was the interest
in the proceedings that the guards
failed to observe the precocious small
boys crowding their way into the bril-
liantly lighted apartment where the
presidents daughter was being mar
ried. Some of the boys, in their en-
deavor to obtain a closer view of the
uniformed officials, got tangled up with
the side arms and other military ac-
coutrements and received in return in
dignant pushes and kicks, but all was
forgiven after the ceremony.
