Rumor Suggests Proposed
Double Wedding, But
This Is Denied.

Graduated at Annapolis at noon. and
married in Baltimore at 2 p. m, Is a
record unequsIed IN the romantic an
nails OF the Naval Academy.
Cadets have elOped by the score, in
spite of parental frowning and Govern
mental ORDERS some have married a
few days following their graduation,
amid the pOmp and beauty of a church
wedding. ana others have married IN
an extremely quiet manner, yet none
uerhaps has equaled for suddenness the
wedding OF MidsEipman Douglas e.
Cordiner and Miss Frances Lipscomo'
which took place at old St. Paul S
Church.
Tomorrow morning they viii return
TO Washington where the brides par
ents live. and where she has lived all
her life. They will receive the parental
blessing. and after a honeymoon, last
Inc until June 20. will be parted by the

Another Romance.
Intertwined with the pretty story OF
the wedding is the rumor that but for
the hardness of the Navy Department
in sanctioning the marriage of another
mfdshipman. the affair might have been
a double wedding. Miss Halle English,
also of washington, and Nidshipman
NJ r. Wulett, the latter Midsnipman
Cordiner's ''bunkie." were in the little
party that made the hasty trip from
Annapolis before the graduating eXer-
cises were over, with old St. Paul g
Church in Baltimore as their destina-
ton. and il IS whispered that there
was regret that the department had not
fastened the paper sanctioning their
marriage. However now that IL is
over. the participants refuse 10 admit
that they intended TO he married at the
same time.
John J. Duffy, of Washington, aided
the record breaking graduation we'd

1t is within the range of probability
that the 1910 session Of the Transmits
sissippi Commercial Congress will be
held in Honolulu. II. p. Wood, secre-
tary Of the Chamber of Commerce, has
been corresponding with the officials of
the Congress in advocacy of Honolulu
as meeting place and on the last mail
received a reply from Arthur F. Fran
cis,- of Cripple Creek, the transmissis-
sippi secretary, offering encouragement
to the suggestion. The letter says:
Acknowledging your favor of the

our vice president of the Islands, Mr..
j. F. Morgan, has consented to attend

Morgan call at our headquarters imme.

fer with him about the program and
also about the matter you suggest for
1910. The idea has been latent with us
for sometime, ever since Hawaii began
to cut some figure. If your people
would give the Executive Committee
SIX months at least, and also secure the
cooperation of the steamship lines, it
is within the range of possibility that
a session may be held at Honolulu.
When Governor Brady Of Nebraska sug-
gested the idea for Sitka, the response
which our Executive Committee receiv.

that Hawaii is now strongly in the lime
