 Gardner the Happy Pair.

Last Wednesday night at the home of the brides parents. MT. and Mrs. J. w. Gardner, before small party of invited guests, the Rev. w. A. Swift. pastor of the M. E. church, South, spoke the impressive words that united in welded life MT. Harry N. Hollis and Miss Aline Gardner.
 The Gardner home was prettily decorated in ferns and flowers for the occasion, an arch being formed in the parlor under which the bridal pair stood during the ceremony.
 At just S:30 o'clock Miss Mayme Gilmore played the opening strains of the wedding march and Mir. Merrill Burgett and Miss Mildred Gardner led the way to the bridal arch. followed by the bride and groom. After the ceremony and congratulations, the brides cake was cut and divided among the un- married guests. A luncheon of ice cream and cake was then served, after which the many handsome and useful gifts to the bride were viewed and admired by all.
 The announcement had been made that Mir. and Mrs. Hollis would leave on the Traveller next morning, but the information came so freely and openly that the young people, who had planned to give the pair an elaborate and perhaps strenuous send-off, were skeptical and pre- pared. as they thought. to meet all emergencies. But they missed, and this was how it was done:
 It was figured that the couple would try and slip out and go north or No. 2. and the whole party remained ol watch until this train had gone Then two guards kept watch for as many hours, but all in vain. Early next morning it was discovered that thecouple haddisappearedfrom theil room in the Gardner home, anC when the Traveller left no brida couple was there to furnish amuse ment to the waiting young folks with supplies of ribbons, rice ane old shoes. But after the train lef
 the depot and rounded the turn i
 stopped, and soon lonesome looking
 cab was seen vending it's way bacl
 towards town.
 The rest is simple. Mir. and Mrs
 hollis have gone to Eureka Spring
 to spend ten days. Then they vii
 spend few weeks with Mir.

GORGEOUS UNIFORMS
OF EUROPEAN COURTS
Regalia of Diplomats That
Costs in Thousands

Much OF the Splenoor or any or his
majesty's courts would be lacking if 1t
were not for the dazzling uniforms of
the high officers of state and the great
officers of the royal household who as
semble at these impressive functions,
says Tit-Bits.
There are always five or six different
grades of gentlemen in attendance
present when his majesty holds court
and each has his distinctive dress. the
difference usually being indicated by
the trimming, either gold or silver, or
the number of buttons worn. The COM
plete outfit of a first class court Off
cial runs up to 1900, the jacket alone
costing ESQ to f100.
It is made of the finest royal blue
cloth, lavishly embroidered with gold
lace of highly elaborate design. The
waistcoat and knee breeches are made
from white kerseymere silk, richly
embroidered. set off with buttons and
buckles Of gilt, and white silk stock
ings, sword cooked hat and white kid
gloves make a complete costume, as
rich as it is dignified.
An ambassador or foreign diplomat
wears a special distinction black
velvet collar, with a gold embroidered
floral design. The uniform costs the
wearer about f115.
Lord lieutenants are dressed in a
coat of royal red cloth, cut swallow
tail and adorned with silver buttons
and the collar embroidered with silver
lace. Silver laced trousers are worn
with cooked hat without plumes. The
uniform is very handsome and costs
the wearer 100 guineas simply for the
privilege to wear 1T, let alone the max
ing of it.
To the duke of Norfolk, as the earl
marshal, however. falls the enviable
distinction OF wearing the most costly
apparel of all great officers of state.
The dress is absolutely unique, and the
sheer magnificence has no parallel in
any country. Nearly three miles of the
finest gold thread are used in the en-
broidery on the coat, collar. front and
on the lappels of the sleeves. Each suit
costs his grace 1850.
All cabinet ministers and other high
state officials are expected to have at
least one state uniform. A complete
court outfit will cost from f130 to
f170.
There are, of course, many others
such as the captain of the yeomen of
the guard, the captain of the gentle
men at arms, the master of the horse
and the squires and pages of honor,
who have to possess a distinctive dress
for special occasions costing from Ego
to $50. Court handles will only wear
these uniforms once. while noblemen
sometimes make the same uniform last
lifetime. 1t has been computed that
on great state occasions the value of
the uniforms worn exceeds 100000.

EXCURSION STEAMER
RUNS ON THE ROCKS
Old Yosemite Hangs on Reef,
but PASSENGERS Escape

SEATTLE, July e.-The excursion
steamer Yosemite went on the rocks
near Bremerton, the seat of the Puget
sound navy yard, at o'clock tonight,
while returning with party of ex-
cursionists from a trip about the
sound A large hole was stove in the
steamer amidships. and it was hung UP
on the reef with five feet of water in
its hold.
The $50 passengers were taken off
by passing steamers which saw the
plight of the Yosemite. There was no
panic and no one was injured. The
Yosemite, which belonged to c. D.
Hillman of this city, was valued at
$50, 600.
II is hoped that the steamer may be
saved. The Yosemite was wooden
side wheeler built in San Francisco
in 1862.

PETITIONS FOR SHAKE
OF ARTOT'S ESTATE
AvereII Says Chef Often Ac-
knowIedged Him as Son

E A Averell, who sets up a claim to
share in the estate of the late August
Artot, chef. on the ground that he is
Artot's illegitimate son. filed a new pc
tttion yesterday for distribution of the
money he claims is due him. Artot left
property worth about s32 1000 giving
$4,000 TO his daughter, Florence Walsh
of New York. $4,000 to his SON. Charles
Artot of New York. and the balance TO
his widow, Marie Artot of San Fran
cisco.
Averell was not mentioned in the will.
He claims he should have one-third of
the children's half, or about So 600.
In his amended petition Averell says
that for five years Artot lived in differ
ent places in San Francisco with Mar
garet Averell, mother of the petitioner,
and that they were known as man and
wife. Frequently and daily IN the pres
ence of other people Artot acknowl-
edged Averell as his son, the petition
asserts. II is also claimed that in signed
writings Artot acknowledged himself to
be the boys father.
