AT THE HOTEL.


Any one who happened to drop inttbe
lobby Of the Raleigh about first (nk
time last evening could have wanced
about without noticing anything on Of
the ordinary. But he might have Ien
aware Of the presence Of two rabr
happy looking men, and if he hadn't s.
ficient power Of diagnosis 10 Judge wit
caused the happiness he could posslb
have found out by inquiry. At any rat
there will be the consummation Of a r.
nance to-day; or, better, the consumma
ton Of two romances at the same time.
That was really the cause Of the appar-
ent happiness Of last evening
The two most fortunate individuals are
George NJ Hawks, Of Bennington, Vt,
and Dr.. George N. SEellings. Of Monroe,
La. Mr. Hawks acts as secretary for
his father, while DR.. Snellings is a prac-
ticing physician. Several years ago, while
Mr.. Hawks was in Monroe, he became a
friend Of the second happy man and at
the same time met his future wife, Mrs
Margaret Breard-McAdOo To further
round out this romance, DR.. Snellings will
Z
Miss Stachie Breard, also Of Monroe.
The two ladies are daughters of D. A.
Breard. who was for many years presi-
dent Of the Ouachita National Bank Of
Monroe. The ceremony viii be performed
by Dr. Mcleod Of the First Presby-
terian Church, of this city Mr. Hawks
said last night that Washington was
chosen as the place for the end Of this
romance; or. indeed the beginning Of it,
as a sort Of compromise between the
North and the South. Mr. and Mrs.
Hawks viii spend their honeymoon in
California
Senator Thomas S. Martin, Of Virginia,
was pretty frank about the political
situation, DemocraticalIy speaking, yes
terday, when he stopped at the Raleigh
for a few hours. Senator Martin said
that he has been so busy with personal
matters for the last few months that
politics have played a comparatively
small part in his mind He said, how
ever, that so far as he had delved into
the mystery of booms Democratic, Bryan
still seemed to be the favorite
SO far as the boom for Lewis Stuy-
vesant ChanIeT is concerned said the
Senator, 'it is so new in inception that
know very little about *. ! understand
that Mr., Chanler has some strength in
New York, which is natural, but outside
Of his own State I doubt If his chances
are at present remarkable. really know
nothing about Mr Chanler, however, SO
1 can hardly say just now should con
slider his nomination
Mr.. Bryan. still believe, is the strong
est man that has been suggested by the
Democrats for the nomination. In spite
OF everything that can be said about him,
he is to-day the man who l think pos
sesses the adherence Of a great majority
OF the Democrats Of the country"
Senator Martin seemed to believe that
these two men were the only ones who
have so far been mentioned that have
any great chance Of receiving the nOmi-
nation Of the party.
When the Senator was asked what hss
thought about the incident in Richmond
in which Bishop Potter Is said 20 have
had negro as a guest al dinner he said
/ that he considered the bishop might have
done his entertaining at some other place
than a Southern city such as the one
which he chose. He said that he had no
objection 10 Bishop Potter's choice IN
this matter Of table company. but he be-
lieved that he might have waited until he
got back 10 New York before exerCis-
ing II.
A friend Of Senator Martin then
brought forward James 3. Martin. Te-
Gently elected mayor Of New Haven,
Conn. by the Democrats, and the two
men OF the same name and party were
introduced. Senator Martin said that he
was indeed glad 10 make the acquaint-
ance Of man Of the same name who
upheld the traditions of the Democracy
A.
done. But he concluded by saying that
he never knew q Martin who couldn't do
that anywhere, North or South.
