DOROTHY DREW'S
WEDDING FINERY
She Wore Ivory ChafmGuSG
Draped With Lace

London, May 15.-Much interest was
taken in the marriage of Miss Dorothy
Drew, granddaughter of Mr.. Gladstone,
and Cantain Parrish. The bridal gown,
made in a simple draped princess
fashion, was composed of rich double
satin charmeuse in a beautiful ivory
shade. The corsage was draped with
some rare old Brussels lace, and so
cleverly arranged that the valuable
dentelle remained uncut.
Similar lace formed the long rucked
sleeves. which come to the wrists the
outer edge softened with a picturesque
frill of lace, held in place underneath
with fine strands of seed pearls. The
skirt fell in long unbroken folds from
the drapery of the corsage and was
made in one with long square train
which had silver cloth for its lining
Over the train was deftly draped
beautiful old Brussels applique lacC
shawl hanging form the center o
the shoulders and falling in a detl
point toward the end. On the left SID
this filmy dtntelle was looped up witt
a cluster of orange blossoms wit
trails of buds. Miss Drew wore tn
old lace veil which her grandmother
Mrs. Gladstone, wore at her wedding
and the same veil was also used 10
the brides chrictening. Underneat
this veil. she wore a wreath OF rea
orange flowers. Twelve bridesmaid
were in attendance wearing Grecia
dresses of white crepe de chine an
gold embroidery, with classical heaC
dresses of gold gauze wreather VIII

WILL PROTECT
PAVEMENT OF
CITY STREETS
COUNCIL HAS TAKEN ACTION
To Prohibit Traction Engines
On Streets

Anticipating the damage that may
come to the new pavements on the
CITY streets by means of traction en-
gines. unless legal provision were
made to prevent the streets being
used bv traction engines, the mem
bers of the city council took action at
their last meeting to prevent the pas
sage of traction engines over the pave
ments here.
In accordance with the provisions
of the new ordinance, it is unlawful
for any one to drive or operate any
machine or vehicle on the pavtd road
ways of the city, when such machine
weighs more than total of 5000
pounds. The provision is also made
that the tires of all vehicles must be
smooth. which, of itself, would pre-
vent a traction engine from being run
over the pavements.
The prevention of traction engines
from passing over the streets of IL
city has been anticipated for some
time. The only thing was the fran
ing of an ordinance that would def
nitely prohibit the passage of suci
vehicles without barring any heavil
laden cotton wagons or other similar
vehicles which should not be barred
1t is believed that the new ordinanc,
will answer the purposes we'll.

SCREENS FOR
SALOONS HERE
HENCEFOWARD
SCREEN ORDINANCE REPEALED
Saloons May Use Screens If
They Wish

In the future the near beer saloons
of the city may make use of screens
if they wish. That was the decision of
council at it's last netting.
When the matter of repeating the
ordinance forbidding the use OF
screens in saloons was brought up the
vote resulted in favor of repeating the
ordinance. There was a protest reg
istered against it, however,
The matter of screens or no screens
in saloons here has been one that has
fixed the attention of council on sew
eral occasions, but it seems that now
the matter has been settled for some
at least.

ment of the Americus Light Infantry,

ed. proved one of the most interest
ing features of the day and left a
lasting impression upon the minds of

sentative of National President Pope,

unavoidably prevented, to the great
regret of the several camps His ad-
dress of thirty minutes was very in
teresting and held the close attention
of the large assemblage. He spoke
freely upon the purposes of the order
which he represented, the sphere of
usefulness of which had extended
throughout America. His references
to the flag and to education were fire.

forceful and eloquent speaker and has
at ready command the choicest die
ton. Thoroughly conversant with his
subject, the work of the P. o. S. of A.

Fifteen Millions Is Cost OF Great
Hotel.

New York, Dec. 12.-Announce-
ment s made that the new Hotel Nc.
Alpin, VII ich excels in magnitude anc
general appointments anything here
tofore attempted in the hotel line will
be ready for the reception of guests
within the next wee';, though the big
blowout" that will mark the formal
opening will be deferred until New
Years eve. The hotel has been com
pleted for several weeks, 30 far as
the exterior i concerned, and a small
army Of workmen are now engaged in
Installing the furnishings.
The McAlpin i declared BY hotel
experts who have inspected it to be
the most wonderful creation in the
way Of hotels that was ever dreamed
Of BY man. AS it stands today it rep
resents an investment of nearly SIS, :
600, 900, which is going some, " even
in this city with its almost countless
number of luxurious hotels.
The structure occupies the block on
the east side Of Broadway, between
Thirty third and Thirty fourth streets.
1t consists Of e stories, three Of which
are underground. The guest rooms
number 1,5O0, all with baths, while
total Of 80 parlors will be under the
one roof. To run the hotel and the
several restaurants and cafes in con-
nection Herewith will require total
Of !, 500 employees.
The McAIpin will have several fea-
lures that will be unique among Amer
ican hotels. For instance, the entire
fourth floor will be for women exciu-
sively. A woman guest arriving at
the hotel without escort will be able
to register with woman clerk, ascend
to her room in an elevator in charge
of a young woman conductor, and
have all of her errands run by "bell
girl instead Of the customary bell
boy.
Quite the opposite will be the con-
ditions prevailing on the twenty-sec-
ond floor of tire big hostelry. This
floor will be reserved exclusively for
bachelor guests. No ehambermaid

or other women servants will be per-
mitted to step at this floor. All the
work will be done by chambermen and
Wallets.
The hotel will maintain United
Service club, to which officers of the
army and navy and members of the
diplomatic corps can obtain member
ship cards and enjoy club life and
entertain their guests. Another fea-
ture out Of the ordinary will be sec
tion Of guest rooms reserved exclu-
sively for the use of newspaper men
visiting New York. Here will be
found typewriters, an abundance of
copy paper, a reference library
and and ether eenreaiienees fer the The free nse
Of the visitors.
Grill rooms, palm gardens, plunge
baths, roof gardens and other luxuries
that are now so numerous among New
York hotels that they have almost
become common will, of course, be
found at the new hotel.
Ev rything is being placed in rsadi-
ness at the McAlpin for the New Year s
