[san Juan. p. r.. Times, Aug. 2s.l

San Juan, p. r., Times, Aug. 26.l
1t is safe to assume that in all Porto
Rico there was no man more anxious for
the arrival OF the steamer Coamo yester-
day nor one more exasperated at her de-
lay than Linwood Thomas Beckwith, a
well-known commission merchant OF
Ponce, who was here to meet the boat.
1t is also safe to assume that another
person equally anxious to set foot upon
the San Juan dock was Miss Annie Louise
Lord, who was one OF the Coamo's passen-
gers, all the way from Ellsworth, Maine.
When the Coamo did finally tie up it
was the signal for the beginning OF the
end Of pretty romance that began in the
childhood OF both OF the people mem
toned. Anyhow, after greetings were
over it was not long until the twain stood
at the pleasant rooms Of DIR. Hayward's g
house in Santure, where they were made
man and wife.
Attending them were Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. c. Rideout, the former Of whom was
college chum and lifelong friend OF Mr..
Beck with. The bridal couple will go to.
day to Ponce, which will be their future
home.
Mr.. Beckwith is we'll and favorably
known throughout the island, and was
for long time connected with the
educational department. The bride and
groom were born and raised together in
the beautiful little Maine city from which
she came. Mr.. Beckwith has host OF
friends who will congratulate him and
extend cordial hand OF welcome to Porto
Rico to Mrs. Beckwith.
