 There was a happy termination last night of romance that started during the early days of the Spanish-American war and after long years eliminated in Cordova. Fred Schiller and Miss Elizabeth Riley were very much enamored one of the other, but when the summons to arms came Fred periodically trudged off to foreign lands, instead of into that state of hymneneal bliss that he might otherwise have en- joyed. AS years went on the couple became widely separated, although they were constantly in communica- tion with each other. For several years past MT. Schiller has been a resident of Cordova while Miss Riley has resided at Greenfield, Mass. The latter was kept informed of the de- velopment and conditions of this sec tion of the country through the col umns of the Daily Alaskan. And when Fred insisted that she come out and occupy with him the com fortable home that he had prepared, she consented, believing that she was not coming among strangers or to an unknown land. The steamer Alameda brought her yesterday af- ternoon and soon after the ceremony was performed that united their for. tunes and started them off on the sea of matrimony. In the evening there was a celebration of the event and today all are wishing the newly made couple all kinds of good luck and happiness. MT. Schiller is one of the reliable and respected men oi Cordova and a host of friends are glad of his good fortune in securing such a delightful helpmate.
