SHE is ONE OF AMERICAS RICH.
EST HElRESSES-MARRIES
HUNGARIAN.

New York. Jan 2S.--In the famous
Vanderbilt mansion at Fifth avenue
and Fifty-seventh street at noon Mon
day Miss Gladys Youngest daughter
OF Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. cousin
OF the duchess of Marlborough and one
of the richest of American heiresses.
became the bride of Count Laszio Jeno
Maria Henrik Simon Szechenyi a
young Hungarian noble of ancient line
age and comfortable fortune His home
is in Ormucs, Hungary. Last summer
Miss Vanderbilt became of age, and
under the provisions of her fathers
will entered into possession of her
share of his great fortune, estimated
at from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Mgr. Lavelle, rector of ST.
Patrick's cathedral, and the brides at
tendants will be Miss Ruth Vanderbilt
Twombly and Miss Dorothy Whitney.
Count Anton Sigray, who recently ar
rived here with Count TiOnys and his
wife, and Count Paul Esterhazy will
be the best men. One of the brides
brothers gave his sister in marriage.
After the ceremony a breakfast will
be served to which some 250 invita-
tons have been issued.
The Vanderbilt home has been SUI
perbly arranged and decorated for the
occasion and one of the features of the
ceremony was the music by an orches-
ira of 60 pieces.
The guests entered at 2 West Fifty
eighth street, that side Of the house
being admirably supplied with retiring
room large enough for several hundred
people to deposit their wraps in. 1t
was, however, not a large wedding.
as such things go in New York, Mrs.
Vanderbilt having kept her list down
considerably, sending out for the cere-
mOny and breakfast only, there being
no extra invitations for reception.
Gladys Moore Vanderbilt is Il years
old. She is the daughter of Cornelius
and Alice c. Gwynne Vanderbilt. She
was born at Newport, r. l.
The Vanderbilt town house, in which
the wedding took place, is one of the
show places of the metropolis 1t is in
Fifth avenue, occupying the entire
DlOCN DCIH0Gl ~ seventh anu r lily
eighth streets. Since the death of Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, who built it, the
house has seemed to the outsider to be
closed most of the time. This is not
true, however, as Mrs. Vanderbilt
opens it quite often for some elaborate
affair or other.
The original Vanderbilt house-.the
house in which the old commodore
lived-is on Staten island. 1t is a pic
turesque place, within a short distance
Of the ocean.
1t is presumed that the count and
countess will spend the most of their
time at the formers home in Hungary,
Castle OermeXoe.
The wedding gifts are said to ex-
eeed 81 5000 in value and are guard
ed day and night by detectives and
special police arrangements have been
made to handle the curious throngs
which usually gather on such oeca-
siOns.
The young couple left Monday after
noon for Newport, where Mrs. Wander
bits home, The Breakers" has been
prepared for them. There they will re-
main until February 4, when they will
sail for Europe.

time.

The petition of B. Y. Rainey of La
Crosse for saloon license at that place
was turned down by the county com
missioners, says the Gazette. The
petition was presented to the board
last month, but was laid over until
this time, a strong protest being filed,
to give both sides a chance to be heard
as we'll as time for consideration. At
the meeting Mr.. Rainey was presented
by counsel, and the public prosecutor
was there to give legal advice. Quite
number of protestants from Lacrosse
were present. showing the deep inter-
est taken in the matter. The COM
missioners' room presented court-like
appearance.
The petition for license was ac-
companied by something like 125
names, while the protest was signed
by 101 citizens of Lacrosse, besides rs
or 80 of the mothers and daughters of
that community. The commissioners,
in their wisdom, decided that Ia saloon
at this time did not fill a long felt
want in that burg, and their decision,
under the circumstances, meets with
popular approval. The sentiment
throughout the length and breadth of
the land is pronounced on the question
of granting saloon licenses. Now that
the season approaches for putting in
the crops, when many workers are in
demand, it is workers that are wanted,
not saloons.
The saloon question has been much
discussed at Lacrosse, and possibly
this is not the last of it.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

to hive hit the fifth grade hardest. The
following were absent during the week
on this account: Nellie Burden, Alvin
Babcock, Ray Baymiller, Vella Meal
lister. Eugene Henry and MILFORD AL
len.
Melissa Vale is in school again this
week.
Friday afternoon Prof. Thornber of
the W.S.C. gave very interesting
lecture on trees and how to plant and
care for them. All the pupils from
the fourth grade up, including the
high school, were present. Prof.
Thornber made a plea to the pupil that
each plant tree. He said that even
if it did not do them good it would be
appreciated by some one after them.
He then gave a short talk on how to
plant the trees, as, he said, many
more trees were killed by not being
planted right than by insects or dis
eases. Monday afternoon Prof. Thorn
Der will give apple and shade trees to
every pupil bringing gunnysack or
cloth to wrap the roots in. 1t is to
be hoped that as many as possible will
get trees, as Pullman is in need of
having more planted.
After Prof. Thornber's lecture, Prof.
Beach gave short talk to the pupils.
Next Thursday Prof. Rogers fam
lily leaves for their homestead in Idaho.
An Easter egg hunt was held in the
fifth grade room, Friday afternoon.

The eighth grade literary society
met Friday afternoon. AS the program

program was put off till the next meet
ing. An amendment to the constitu-

erary society should meet every Friday
instead of every other week. This
was discussed and put off till next Fri
day, when a vote will be taken upon
it. Mr.. Yamauchi. a Japanese pupil
of this grade, entertained the pupils
by playing on the hi yu ku hachi.
The music was of the Oriental nature
as is heard in the other countries. Mr..
Yamauchi was asked to play again
and Prof. Rogers was sent for. 1t
could not be told by his face whether
he enjoyed it or not. But when he
was told it was a hi va ku hachi he
said it sounded like one.

MIR. SHAW ON SOUP HOUSES.
Points Out WOrkless LabOrers and
Engineless Cars Former
Secretary Talks.

Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Shaw, in Michigan last spring, made
interesting comment on panics as fol-
lows:
"Over 100000 freight cars standing
empty on the tracks; 5000 locomotives
out of commission; one-quarter of the
population of several large cities idle,
and, for the first time in Republican
administration, free soup houses"
Hide Must Go With the Hair.
In Secretary Shaw's case, the "hide
must go with the hair; that is, his
comment on economic conditions must
be taken zen semble," as the theatri
cal critics say. His soundness ON bank
guarantee must accompany equally
sound opinion on other mooted ques
tons. Now that Mr.. Taft, agains
whom Mr.. Shaw labored, has beel
nominated, Mr.. Shaw might Obtain
leave to "extend his remarks in tn
record" and embellish his terse state
ment relative to soup houses.
He will easily overcome Democrat
objection, and perhaps can get unan
nous consent, under the rules.
