MOST NOVEL WEDDING
IN THE CITY'S HISTORY
Miss Nettie A. Pinkham Becomes the Wife of Charles
D. Adams on Top of the Outlet Arch. at High Noon
Thousands View the Unique Scene-Couple VIII
Have Home Furnished For Them.

One OF the largest audiences ever as
sembled at a wedding and undoubtedly
the largest in point OF attendance this
city ever saw, witnessed the marriage to-
day at high noon Of Miss Nettie A. Pink
ham of Glenwood avenue, Pawtucket, to
Charles D. Adams Of Providence on top
of the $1,000 Old Home Week arch erected
by the Outlet company in front of its big
department store on weybosset street.
That wide thoroughfare from Dorrance
street on the north to Richmond street
On the south was a seething sea OF Curl
pus people who began TO arrive at 1880
and remained until long after the we'd
ding ceremony. A conservative estimate
places the number of spectators at not
under 5000, as all the windows In the
vicinity also contained interested observ-
ers. while several knots were observed on
the roofs OF nearby buildings.
At one minute before noon the bridal
pair walked across the temporary bridge
on the fifth floor OF the store to the east
erry end or the arch. Making their way
about Is feet to the centre OF that end.
where balcony had been erected that
was redolent of orange blossoms and
myrtle. the couple faced about and look
ing toward the east stood hand in hand
while the Rev. VIM. Dixon, pastor OF the
Althea Street Temple pronounced i'm
pressively the words that made them
man and wife.
Not one person in a hundred among
those who craned their necks to view the
wedding so much nearer the heavens than
The average couple contemplating matri-
mony ever expect to get in this life could
hear a word OF what the minister said.
but when he raised his hands to pro-
pounce the blessing the multitudinous as

semblage broke into a volley Of applause
that caused hundreds of others who did
not know was going on TO hurry to the
scene.
The minister did not kiss the bride for
two reasons, probably, one OF which was
that she was closely yelled In order to
baffle the army of newspaper men she
imagined were on the scene with cameras
and the other because the groom showed
such great solicltude that one could
easily have feared that he was rather
jealous. ~ s ~ ---.s- e.
Immediately upon the conclusion OF the
ceremony the couple left the arch, and.
escorted by one of the Messrs Samuels
and by the advertising manager, Mr..
Gettler, made their way TO the freight ele-
yator In the back of the establishment,
with the minister and the bridesmaid and
best man. There they took hack that
was in waiting in order to battle, IL pos
sible the thousands of persons who had
crowded into the store and made their
way as high as the fourth floor TO be
among the first to congratulate the couple.
The crowd was kept on the fourth floor.
however and the couple escaped In a
decorated hack that waited at the back
entrance. There was crowd of fully
1000 at this point. however. and this crowd
also cheered heartily.
The bride was attended by her sister.
Miss May Tinkham, with whom she re-
sides. and the best man was Alfred Lun-
din of this city, a close friend OF the
groom. There is a hint that there may be
another wedding soon.
The enterprising firm which arranged
this remarkably successful popular attrac-
ton, furnished completely the new home
of the couple at cost of more than $500.
Before leaving the store this afternoon
the couple said that they did not intend
to take their honeymoon trip just yet, but
would be at home to their friends soon.

evident that he was highly pleased
at the fact that such days OF
phenomenal crowds as Thursday and
yesterday had gone by without a
serious accident and without any out
break. the police having coped sue
cessfully with every emergency that
presented itself IL is likely that the
chairman will have something to say
to the men in an official order after
the board meets next Tuesday. Prob
ably Chief Patrick Egan will make a
recommendation to the board on the
subject.
CHIEF is MODEST.
The chief said today that he had never
seen such crowds in any one week since
he has been connected with the police
force In this city. and never such a crowd
as assembled in Exchange place last
night, and all along the route Of the elec.
trical pageant. He modestly declined to
say what he thought OF the conduct OF
the police during the trying days that
have passed. as he himself was out i'm full
uniform every day. with all the captains
lieutenants. sergeants. and most OF the
night men. keeping his finger on the pop
ular pulse that nothing untcward might
happen through police unreadinese.
CITIZENS PLEASED.
As most Of the events have occurred ir
the Central district. where the larges,
crowds have gathered. there has been ar
exceptional tax upon Capt. Maynard l.
Stone. and the force under his command
and they are receiving special mention
for the high class work they have done
as they have been fully equal to every
emergency and even taken time by the
forelock at times.
Citizens generally. however. agree that
the police force OF the entire city has
done It's duty. as only the very 'hnest'
could he expected 10 do e. ana they are
proud of their handful OF peace guar
dams.
These men deserve every cent they are
getting and more too said one mem.

Yesterday by Attorneys Catron. Spiess.

the matter and held that the court
had jurisdiction in the matter and
that witnesses could be brought from

held that the subpoena was in proper
form and that the service was good.
He also held that the excuse of Mag
gle Nann that she did not have the
money to come was not a valid reason
for refusing to obey the process of the
court. He stated that ii was the duty
of the marshal to see that she was
provided with sufficient means to
come if she had made known the fact
that she did lot possess the neces-
sary means and that an attachment
might issue at any time.

SANTA FE STARTS
CAMPAIGN FOR
STATEHOOD
ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY
HELD IN THE CAPITOL
Meeting Urges Formation of
Leagues in Every Part Of the
Territory to Work for Admis-
sion of New Mexico.

Especial correspondence Morning journal. |
Santa Fe. oct. 15.-The statehood
meeting which was held at the capitol
building here this morning was at
tended by about a hundred people.
and 1t was generally agreed thai state
hood is the one thing most desired by
the people of New Mexico at this
time During the discussion much
opposition was developed to the call
ing together of the delegates elected
at the last election to frame a consti-
tuition for the proposed state. and it
appeared to be the sense of the meet
ing that the best thing to do is to
work unitedly for the passage of a
statehood bill and then, should the
bill be passed, frame a constitution.
Chairman Bursum, of the republic
can central committee, pledged the,
support of the republican orgaaization
to the statehood movement. and
thought II would be necessary to pre-
sent a united front at Washington.
w. b. Childers was called on/and
stated that he had opposed the adOp-
ton of a constitution when Il was
voted on in New Mexico some years
ago, but that he had regretted ii ever
since. He said that the condition Of
affairs in the territory is intolerable,
and III was ready to work for any
kind of statehood.
The formation of statehood leagues
in every county in the territory was
advocated, and 1t is expected that this
plan will be adopted and hat within
a very short time the political ma
chinery of the territory will be in OPP
Grafton to attain the admission of the
territory.
