The Fleming home in Stockholm
township was the scene OF very
pretty wedding on Wednesday, Jan
uary 18th, when Miss Mary Fleming
became the bride of Mr.. Charles H..
Carlson, Rev. J. Jas. DePree, of Deni-
son, performing the ceremony.
About thirty relatives gathered at
the home to witness the happy event
which took place in the beautifully
decorated parlor. The decorations,
consisting of pink and white carna-
tions and streamers and several large
wedding bells, made the room scene
of beauty. The happy couple were
the recipients of numerous wedding
gifts.
Promptly at 1870 the bride and
groom entered the parlor to the
strains of Lohengren's wedding march
rendered by Miss Anna Carlson, a
sister of the groom. The bride was
dressed in handsome gown of white
messaline, draped with marquesite
and over lace. She wore a white
tulle veil and carried beautiful
bridal bouquet of white roses. Miss
Jessie Fleming, who acted as brides
maid, looked very becoming in dress
of pink crepe de chene trimmed with
white overlace. She carried a bou-
quet of pink roses.
The groom was attended by his
brother, John A. Carlson.

hospital, on Staten Island. The per-
sonal contact which she experienced
that day, the insight into the suffer
ings of the first men brought home
wounded from Santiago. seemed to
map out her work for her. She at
once assumed control of the Women's
War Relief association and reorgan-
lied it, making its object the care Of
the wounded and sick. who were COM
ing from Cuba in transports by the
hundreds.
At one time when, through some off,
cial blunder, supplies were wanting at
Montauk camp. where numbers Of the
sick and wounded were being receiv-
ed, she prevented the suffering and
death which would have been involved
in delay by wiring $4,000 to the camp
for instant use. Her checkbook was
open for every movement for the ben
eft of the American fighting men. and
when she had done all that money
could do she gave her own personal
services. Many a wounded soldier in
Montauk camp owed his life to her
nursing.
Her services did not go unrewarded.
The whole nation, through congress.
honored her by ordering Il gold medal
to be awarded to her. The states of

Denison Wins From Dunlap.

About forty students accompanied
the college basket ball team to Dun
lap last Friday evening. This crowd
of students helped the team win an
easy game by their inspiring yells.
The game was fast one and from
the first tossing of the ball both teams
played hard, but with good humor.
The superior strength of the college
team proved that they were in bet
ter condition for the game. However,
the Dunlap fellows proved that they
were good losers and when the return
game is played here it is hoped that
they will be as we'll satisfied with good
treatment as the college team were
at Dunlap.
The score was 20 to "a in favor of
Denison. The following was the line.

Only a few members Of the Gould
family We're present at dinner at Geor.
gian court. Mr.. Gould's Lakewood es-
tate, when the news was announced.
The news Of her engagement was a
surprise even to many of the closest
friends Of Miss Gould. She is now
forty-four years old. Since the death
Of her father, Jay Gould. on Dec. II,
1892. left her one Of the richest women
in the country. rumors that she in
tended marriage had been so often
started and denied that it had come to
be believed that she would never
marry.
Miss Gould came into a fortune Of
$10,O0O.OOO at the death Of her father.
and it is estimated that by careful
management and judicious investment
this fortune has grown to $3O,OOO.OOO.

ard had been acquainted many years
it was not until last March that they
became deeply interested in each 9th

trip over the Gould railroads in order
to inspect the Young Mems Christian as
sociation buildings which she had
established chiefly for the benefit Of
the railroad men. Mr. Shepard in his
official capacity accompanied Miss
Gould and her party on the trip over
the Denver and Rio Grande.
Miss Gould is one Of the four trus-
tees Of the Jay Gould estate, and her
part in the management Of the Gould
railroads has been mainly work for
the welfare of the employees. Mr..
Shepard is very popular with the rank
and file of the railroad men, and since
his connection with the Gould lines
has been an ardent supporter of the
philanthropic enterprises undertaken
by Miss Gould.
