Captain Bald has had an interesting
and thrilling career. His father was
John Raid of Carlsebridge Alo, N. b.
Bald entered the British army when
young and spent much time in India.
He was sent to South Africa in the
Roer war and there gave distinguished
service. He was wounded in saving
the life of q superior officer and for
that bravery was promoted to the rank
of captain. After his recovery from
his wounds his health was poor and
he retired from the army. He bought
an interest in q lumber business in
Mexico and spent part of his time in
Mexico and part in the United States.
Miss Routt after passing several years
in school here. went abroad to study.
She visited Brussels at the time of the
international exhibition and was intro
iuced to Captain Bald The two saw
each other afterward in England and
became engaged. Miss Routt returned
to this city when the captain went TO
Mexico. She had been living with her
sister. Mrs George Gordon, and her
brother, now a Sophomore in Harvard, in
No. 27s West 10th street, for three years
Their mother is Mrs c. A. Routt, whose
husband was a wealthy business man in
Kentucky. The mother has been accus-
toned to pass much time with her
daughters and son In this city.
In October Miss Routt went to Chica-
go to visit friends She had written to
Captain Bald that she was going there
and on her arrival was surprised to see
him there instead of getting letter
from him. He urged her TO become his
wife. She consented. On Friday aft
ernoon they started for Milwaukee in
the hope of getting married. They got
there too late to get license and re-
turned to Chicago. Miss Routt went to
her friends and then telegraphed her sis
ter to come on. Mrs. Gordon left here
and met her sister and Captain Bald in
the station in Chicago. They went to
Grace church, where the ceremony was
performed by the Rev e. NJ. Nutter.

AS the procession passed up Rines

ed cheering and sending off of rock

AMUSEM EN- rs.
Chicago Glee Club, Toniaht

This organization, which comes to
City hall, this evening, is not only the
best male quartet before the public,
but also presents for the first time in
this city a quartet of artists on the
slide trombone, each player a soloist,
second only in the point of artistic
finish to Arthur Prior, the famous So
loist, so many years with Sousa's
Band.
In the vocal work of this company, in
dividually or as a quartet, they repre-
sent the highest order of music. The
personnel has remained the same for
10 years, thus enabling them to sing
as one man. In balance, phrasing and
enunciation they are a delight to the
ear, lille their individual solos show
the timber by which such results are
obtained.
Mr.. Dixon, in his representation OF
the "Hoosier" adds another feature
to the program which will appeal to
all, for as delineator of old men
characters he has no equal, today, on
the stage.
For genuine pleasure, variety and
efficiency, the public may expect 10
enjoy every moment of the program
two solid hours of amusement--for the
club has adopted the plan of giving a
continuous performance without in
PERMISSION. thus doing away with all
waits.
Yesterdays advance sale indicates
that these famous singers and players
will face the largest concert audience
ever assembled in Augusta. There
WILL however, be plenty of room Tor
all who desire to attend, as 200 seats
can be added, If necessary, te the
usual number in the hall. The advance
sale is at Burns in this city and Whit

aches and pains of rheumatism are not
permanently. but only temporarily, re-

Then why not use an internal rem

disease?
This medicine has done more for the
