Rico for the Cuban war, where he
had his first taste of warfare.
On his return to New York he en-
tered the Military Academy at West
Point, receiving his appointment from
President Mckinley on the strength
of letter from the young mans IL
lustrious grandfather, General Ulys-
ses S. Grant General Grant, before
he died, left a letter TO whoever
should be president when his grand
son was old enough to enter West
Point, asking for a presidential APP
pointment. When the time came,
Mr.. Mckinley was in the White
House, and promptly acceded to the
wish of his predecessor.
Lieut.. Grant was graduated from
West Point in 1902, sixth in his class,
and was sent at once to the Philip
pines, where he remained for three
years. When he returned he began
a course of study at the War College
here, acting at the same time as mil
itary aide to the president. Recently
he was transferred to Boston for
duty, and in that city he and Mrs.
Grant will take up their residence
after the honeymoon trip.
The bride of today is the only
daughter of the Secretary of State
and Mrs. Root, and, although she
made her debut several years ago,
she has never completely identified
herself with the younger set in Wash
ington She is a cultivated young
woman of the conservative type. and
an accomplished linguist She has
been her fathers frequent companion
in his rides about Washington. and
she is a good horsewoman. both in
the saddle and as a whip. She has
been known as one of the best gown
ed women in Washin gton society.
Among her most intimate friends are
Miss Janet Fish and the Misses Nc
Cook of New York, who have visited
her frequently in Washington.
Lieut. Grant is a brother Of the
Princess Cantacuzene Of Russia and
a nephew of Mrs Potter Palmer, the
social dictator Of Chicago.

PROMINENT FAMILIES
UNITED BY MARRIAGE
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Nov 27.-One
of the most notable and brilliant we'd
dings that the national capital has
seen in a long time took place this af-
ternoon, when Miss Edith Root,
daughter of the Secretary of State
and Hrs. Root, became the bride OF
Lieut.. Ulysses S. Grant, third, En-
gineer Corps, U. S. A, son of Major
General Frederick d. Grant, U. S. A,
and grandson of General U. S. Grant
The ceremony was performed at the
Root family residence on Rhode
Island avenue in the presence Of a
distinguished company, which includ-
ed the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
members of the cabinet, justices of
the supreme court, senators and rep
resentatives, and members of the for
eign diplomatic corps. Among the
family guests were General and Mrs.
Frederick D. Grant, Mrs. Nellie Grant
Sartoris and Mrs. Potter Palmer.
The drawing room in which the GER
emony was performed was profusely
adorned with azalias, bride roses, and
white lilacs, with masses of delicate
ferns and the choicest tropical greens
arranged in the corners and window
recesses. The officiating clergyman
was the Rev Herbert Shipman of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest of New
York.
The bride, who was escorted by her
father, wore a superbly built gown of
rich cream satin, with bodice and
sleeves heavily embroidered in silk
and finished in fall of point lace
In her hand she carried a bouquet of
lilies of the valley and orchids.
After the ceremony the guests ad
journed to the large reception room
across the hall, where the bride and
bridegroom received in a bower of
palms and white roses. The presi-
dent was the first to offer his con-
gratulations, and was followed by a
long list of cabinet officers, congress
men, members of the judiciary, diplo-
mats and prominent representatives
Of resident society.
The wedding of Miss Root and
Lieut.. Grant unites two of the fore
most families of America, families
which have been conspicuous both in
peace and war and have done their
full share in shaping the destinies of
the republic. BETTING, in a sense,
the history of his family, Lieut. Grant
first met his bride-to-be in the White
House, while serving as military aide
10 President Roosevelt.
Lieut.. Grant received his early edu-
cation in Europe, where he attended
the state military school of Austria,
during the four years of his fathers
term as American minister to that
court. On their return to America
he entered Columbia University, and
was graduated in 1898. He imme-
diately Joined his father in Porto

Paul F. Meagher Hopes to Escape In
generation in Penitentiary.

Efforts to secure pardon for Paul F.
Meagher, now in the District jail awaiting
transportation to Moundsville, where he
has been sentenced to serve four years as
a result of his conviction of completely with
Mrs. Kate Maxey in a criminal operation
on young girl last June, from which the
girl died. will be made by his counsel, At
torneys Cuttings and Chamberlin.
The first step in this direction was taken
today. when counsel secured from Mrs.
Maxey an affidavit in which she denies that
Meagher ever sought her aid in having the
operation performed. Mrs. Maxey signed
the affidavit in the marshars office at the
city hall, where she was today surrendered
by her bondsmen.
Meagher has been in Jail since his con-
Viction. 1t is understood that both of the
prisoners will be conveyed to Moundsville
tomorrow afternoon with number of con-
vfcts recently sentenced.
Mrs. MaXey's affidavit declares that
Meagher never had any direct communica-
ton with her whatever, and that he never
interviewed her or made arrangements with
her concerning the operation. Up to the
time of his arrest. she AYERS. she had never
seen Meagher. She makes the affidavit for
the purpose, she declares. of correcting an
alleged impression that Meagher had made
the arrangement with her before the girl
visited her. Mrs Maxey has a term of ten
years in the penitentiary before her.
