Long Time Secret.

st. Paul Dispatch: Jared How,
lawyer, clubman and st. Paurs most
famous bachelor, is bachelor no longer.
For the past year, indeed. he has be-
longed to the large family of benedicts,

have not been aware of the fact. Yes
terday, however, announcement was
made of the marriage in September, a
year ago, of Mr.. How and Miss Mar
garet e. Burwell of Minneapolis.

lyn hotel there. They expect, according
to the report which reached ST. Paul
from Los Angeles yesterday, to remain
there during the winter.

to Minneapolis, where she remained

In May last Mrs. How went to Grand

ed Jared How, jr.
Two weeks ago announcement was
made that Mrs. How and her sister,
Mrs. Callahan, would spend the winter
months In Los Angeles. and shortly
afterwards they left for the Pacific
coast, stopping at the Rosslyn hotel,
Los Angeles. Their departure led a
Grand Forks newspaper to announce it
as society item. and acquaintance
OF Mr.. How, who noticed it in the pa
per, began making inquiries, which
finally led to the discovery of the wed
ding.

lar not only in st. Paul and Mime
apolis. but in the east. He is a member
OF the Town and Country, Minnesota

When asked about the wedding yes
terday Mr.. How said:

rect. There is nothing to be added ex-
cept that / have the best looking boy
In the United States for his age. It
never has been fair to my wife to keen
the marriage a secret. am relieved
now that 1t has become matter of
public knowledge. expect Mrs. How

phony orchestra, last Friday night and
again yesterday afternoon. or the
first appearance The Minneapolis
Journal had the following to say:
When announcement was made that
Berta Morena, the famous Wagnerian
prima donna, could not possibly reach
Minneapolis in time to sing at last
nights concert many were greatly dis
appointed. After they heard Miss Mil
Ter sing Liszt's Lorelei they forgot ali
about MINIS. Moreno and settled down
to enjoy as many encores as they
could entice her to sing. Lia's aria
from Debussy's LfEnfant Prologue,
unsteady was scarcely as effective as
the List work, with its ravishing set
ting of the words die Luft list kuehl
und es dunkelt' and the orchestral ae-
compartment that seems like the un-
dulation of the Rhine waters. AS a
tone poem the song is without SUI
perior, but as a portrayal of folktale
1t is far below Silchers immortal mel
ody inspired by the Heine ballad. AS
encores Miss Miller, who was in excel
lent voice, sang When to Thy Vision
from Gounod's Faust and Song of the
Page from Meyerbeer's Hugenots.
Both were admirably interpreted and
Miss Miller confirmed the previous
high opinion of her art in the minds
of Minneapolis concert goers. She will
be the soloist at Sundays popular con-
cert with the orchestra.
Miss Miller's programme tonight will
be as follows and 1t win begin prompt
