CHINESE SCHOOLGIRLS.

the conditions prevailing in that part
of Yunnan which adjoins British ter

where teaching is being conducted on
new principles. Formerly any dirty

and a crowd of unkempt youngsters,
presided over by an ill-paid, bespec-
tacled pedagogue, produced appalling
discord by reciting at the top of their
voices and each at a different key,
passages from the classics. Now one

Miss Lucas gown was an imported
model of palest blue crepe de chine
which fell over soft duchesse blue
satin, in panels, through whose apper-
lures were visible motifs of rose paint
lace and delicate pink satin bands.
The panels were caught to the drop

Magoon, whose engagement to Mr..
Frank Ward has been announced.
Probably the most elaborate we'd
ding, undoubtedly the most continen-
tai, was solemnized last evening at
eight o'clock at st. Andrews Cathe-
dral, when thousand people assem-
bled to witness the nuptials of Miss
Claire Williams, the daughter of Mrs.
Claire Eloise Williams of this city,
and Mr.. Bruce Cartwright, Jr.
For weeks preparations have been
in progress, and the brilliance of the
scene was, therefore, hardly surpris-
ing. The church, filled to it's capac-
ity, presented a spectacle long to be
remembered, very fashionable con-
gregation, in their gorgeous toilettes,
assembling.
The church decorations were sim
pie, yet rich, and invested with an
elegance born of good taste and artls-
tic conception. The altar, far away
under the scintillation of its myriads
of lighted candles, was dressed in
huge, imposing clusters of stately
Virgin lilies, unmarried in their white
purity by any suggestion Of green.
The chancel and choir loft, how
ever, were hidden under a solid en-
bankment of maidenhair ferns, as a
base, surmounted by lofty, dropping
palms, one tone of delicate tinted
lgreen melting into the more somber
deeper shade, an artistic effect.
On entering the church, a number
of the guests who passed down the
center aisle, had paused in admira-
ton of the scene before them, for
either side of the broad aisle had
been outlined in Pompadour wreaths
falling from the entrance post to each
pew, pale blue hydrangeas having
been woven into leis and tied with
large lovers knots of shell pink tulle
+ The effect of this floral combination
of French shades was indescribable
and confirmed all doubts as to the
artistic character of the wedding.
The organ loft, whence sweet, soft
strains of music drifted, was a solid
iembankment of MALE, and at the APP
pointed hour the majestic strains Of
{ Lohengrins wedding march were
! heard.
All turned to watch the bridal pro
! cession approach.
The ushers, leading, formed by the
family pews a severe line on either
side for the bridal party to pass
through.
The five tiny bridesmaids preceded,
dressed in Kate Greenaway frocks,
fashioned of Dresden lowered organ
dies in a riotous blur of palest pink
and blue, white silk hose and white
satin slippers, tipped with Pompadour
clusters, being worn.

Mr.. Bruce Cartwright, Jr., entertained
the gentlemen taking part in his we'd

by many tropical palms and foliage.
On the large circular table rested
two gold baskets filed with white AMI
yellow daisies, the handles being con-
nected by strands of golden tulle,
while over the cloth loose daisies
were strewn.
The dinner cards were small, hand
painted figures of brides, yelled by
white tulle, and the favors attached
by gold satin ribbons to boutonnieres
of white daisies, were boxes, tied with
white tulle, in which were concealed
the gifts of the host.

EVERY VOTE A FACTOR.

In the coming election every
vote will count for much. The
Democrats will be hard to defeat,
and may not be defeated There
are large numbers of erstwhile
orthodox colored Republicans who
have sworn allegiance to the men
on the Democratic ticket whose
records are good and who believe
in just apportionment vi the
"spoils' as well as good treat
ment to all.
A majority of the colored peo-
pie have always been with the Re-
publican party, but it will not pay
to remain neutral and expect for
them to support you solely because
you are affiliated with the G. O. P.
because we know whereof we
speak. They will not do it in the

WHY EARL GILCHRIST
SHOULD NOT HANG.

Earl Gilchrist, mere boy, who
has been sentenced to hang by an
Arkansas judge for the killing Of
another colored man, is being aid
ed in this city by the Illinois State
journal and the colored people.
A petition has been prepared by
the Journal, the only paper taking
a humane hand in the matter, set
ting forth why the boy should not
be hanged and imploring his excel
lency, the governor, to say the
execution and change it to i'm
prisonment in the pen. The col.
ored people are circulating peti.
tons and large numbers are sign
ing them. The boy is too young
to be hanged and to hang him will
be a disgrace. In Illinois he could
not be legally hanged.
