Rome.-The Turko-German threat

nary speed, it is stated, and it is ex-
pected that it will be finished by Feb

which has double tracks, is considered
by military men to permit of q con

sary supplies and ammunition, at the

About 100000 Ottoman troops. com

Perhaps Dolly Madison, wife of

John Tyler's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married, the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian,
who belonged to one Of the old fami-
lies Of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
stroke of paralysis and a short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died-in the
White House.
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia. the daughter
Of Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one Of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
The wooed as a youth of twenty

they were engaged and short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church Of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un.

Simplicity and God Taste Mark
Ceremony at Home Of
Bride.
ONLTRELATVES ARE PRESENT
No Fuss and Feathers at the Wilson
Wedding Bride is Attended by
Ssster--Spend Honeymoon
In the South.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Oficial and
social circles here never saw a more
quiet wedding than the nuptials of
President Wilson and Mrs. Edith
Boiling Gait, this evening, in the un-
pretentious Gait home at 1908 TWEEN
tieth street.
Only members of the immediate
families witnessed the ceremony.
William g. McAdoo was the only cab
inet officer present, and he was there
as the husband of the presidents
youngest daughter. Even with the
limited number of guests, the house
was packed, for both bride and BRIDE
groom have many close relatives.
The bride was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Bertha Boiling of this city.
She was attired in travelling costume
and carried magnificent bouquet of
orchids. AS a selected orchestra
from the Marine band played the we'd
ding march she met the president in
the hallway outside the parlors and
together they went slowly down to the
great altar of flowers erected at the
east end of the rooms. The wedding
ring used was a plain gold circlet
marked with the initials Of the bride
and bridegroom.

years, and Mrs Boiling, Of course. was
the dowager queen of the occasion.

brothers, John Randolph Boiling,
Richard w. Boiling, Julian B. Boiling,
all Of Washington; r. e. Boiling OF
Panama and DR.. w. A. Boiling Of
Louisville, KY. attended the cere
mony.
It win be remembered that Miss
Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones really brought about
the romance of the president and his
bride During the first Mrs. Wilson's
last illness Miss Bones was almost
constantly st her side. The vigil was
tedious and wearing, and after Mrs.
Wilson'S death Miss Bones was in
such frail health herself that DR..
Carey Grayson, family friend and
White House physician, was much
worried. He urged Miss Bones to take
long walks -and Miss Bones did so,
accompanied by her widow friend,
Mrs. Norman Gait, who also enjoyed
journeys afoot.
Friendship Ripens Into Love.
BY and by, Miss Bones introduced
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Gait, and the
friendship of these two soon became
intimate. In the natural course of
events Mrs. Gait took luncheon now
and then with her chums in the
White Houseand it wasn't long be-
fore the president was enjoying Mrs.
Cats charm.
Mr.. Wilson is the sixth president of
the United States to marry a widow
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fill
more and Benjamin Harrison were his
predecessors in this sort of union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wife--as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice, but their
second wives had not been welded be-
fore.

George Washington's marriage. The
world knows of his courtship, engage

In the day. The plan worked with fair
success and the police had no trouble
in handling the few hundred men,
women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
AS soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in. the accustomed fash
ion. while the smiling groom received
congratulations the newly-weds sped
away In a big White House automobile
to the Union station and took train
TO the South for their honeymoon. II

that person kept his secret well. It
is reported from family circles, how
ever. that the couple will be away I'M
I'll the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January z, though. because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
viii act as host and hostess at a great
reception to be given In the White

BASKETBALL
SQUAD IS ANXIOUS
as
Two Obstacles to Overcome II They
Are to Take Part in Cr0ssett
Tournament.

Members of the basketball squad OF
the High school are on the anxious
bench Just now, because there are
two things that must be overcome be-
fore the boys can participate in the
basketball turnament to be held at
Crossett March and next, and at
which the state championship will be
decided.
To make the trip. members of the
SQUAD will be compelled to lose at
least one and perhaps two school
days. This- in itself will be matter
for the faculty of the High school
to SETTLE, In addition to this, the
expenses of the trip are giving the
boys cause for worry, and it is hop
ed that this can be arranged through
subscription raised among the people
of the city.
The expenses of only the four Nad-
ing teams are paid to the state tourn.-
ament. and these expenses mean only
railroad fare. The local squad figures
that something like $50, will be need
ed to get the boys to Crossett, and all
in all perhaps $50 must be raised be-
fore the trip can be counted upon
Efforts to raise the money Will be
started today or tomorrow by the
bows and their friends, and it is hop
ed the fund can be raised before tne
end of the week, that something den-
rite may be known as early as pos
sible, In the meantime, the boys are
hard at work training and preparing
for the tournament.
