"The marriage took place, as was de-
scribed, in Hoboken last Thanksgiving

all the time; it has been no secret.
For our own personal reasons we were
anxious TO keep it out of the papers for
certain time. Mrs. Mitchell, through
ignorance of that condition, made
premature announcement, that's ALL
The marriage was performed by the
Rev. Conrad Engelder, of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church, in Hoboken. lie
said Yesterday that he recalled the
ceremony we'll.
81 distinctly remember how | made
a mental note Of the contrast in APP
pearance and age of the bride and
bridegroom" said the clergyman yes
terday. "She looked about twenty,
had a fragile sort Of beauty and APP
pearcd radiantly happy. She wore a
great mass of yiolets and answered the
questions readily. The bridegroom
looked twice her age and was of me
dunn height, well set up and somewhat
bald"
The bride said she lived in Rutland,
VT. and Scott said he lived in Ger
mantown, Penn. In explanation yes
terday Mr.. and Mrs. Scott said they
