YOUR WEDDING DAY
The Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared It.
July Aaron Burr and Theodosia
Provost, Charles Kemble and
Maria Theresa de Camp.
By MARY MARSHALL.

Aaron Burr was ten years younger than
his first wife, whom he married one hum
dred and thirty-four years ago today. No
doubt their friends at the time predicted
all sorts of unhappiness as a result of
this discrepancy Of ages just as folk do
nowadays when a young man OF twenty
six signifies his intention OF marrying
a woman of thirty-six, but young Burr
was determined and so was Mrs. Theo-
dosia Provost, and they became man and
wife
The unhappiness that was predicted did
not come. and in the twelve years of their
married life there was nothing but har-
mony, at least so far as records show
US. When at the age of forty-seven Mrs.
Burr died, her disconsolate husband
wrote to a friend: The mother OF my
Theo was the best woman and the finest
lady 1 have ever known" Theo was
their daughter.
The fact that Aaron Burr's married
life with TheoGosia Provost was so happy
is especially interesting in view of the
tact that he was not exactly Of the ebay
OF which model husbands are usually
made. His biographers speak Of him
as "a perfect man OF the world" and,
indeed. he aimed at this ideal rather
more than any of the other men who
made up the group of leaders in the
ISNOluAlOH was al CA
ceedingly handsome man, with eyes that
were Jet black, and although actually
not over FIVE feet six inches in height
he gave the impression. because of his
military carriage, of being OF tall pro-
portions He met Mrs. Provost when he
was twenty-three and he was from the
first much attracted by this widow,
whose husband, an English army officer,
had recently died in the West Indies She
had two sons and II is not surprising
that Aaron Burr should have been eager
10 help her with her task of educating
these children, an interest, by the way,
which he did not forget after he had
married her. The widow was living in
New Jersey, and her well-appointed home
there was frequented by many other OF
the American officers, who enjoyed under
her roof generous and dignified hospital
lty. No doubt others Of the number lost
their hearts, but it remained for the
handsome though youthful Aaron to win
the lady's heart.

this marriage and II is interesting to
recall that this Theodosis was the apple
OF her fathers eye during his entire life
and that she was one OF the most bril-
liant women of the period. For many
years after the death OF Mrs. Burr.
Aaron Burr remained a widower and IL
was not till he was seventy-eight that he
remarked. The lady aof his choice this
time was Madame Jumel. the widow Of
a French merchant OF much wealth.
Maria Theresa de Camp whose wedding
anniversary also occurs on July ?. was
a Viennese by birth and she made her
way to England with her family, Q
troupe OF professional dancers.
At the age of six, in the year I7so. she
made her debut as Cupid in a popular
London production. and even then she
showed that she was sufficiently grace
full Of body and 1.-the of toe to give
promise Of making a fine dancer. Later
she is described as "a delightful. dark
eyed girl. whose motion itself was music
ere her voice was heard. Before she
was twenty she had become an actress
and when she was thirty-two she married
Charles Kemble, who was q year her
Junior. Charles Kemble, a very success
full actor Of his day, was q member of
the celebrated Kemble family OF actors
and a brother Of Sarah Siddons. whose
name stands without peer in the list OF
English tragic actresses.

4-MILE FRONT
Second Line of German Trenches
Are Taken.
SEVERAL TOWNS CAPTURED
General Haig's Forces Sweep Teuton
Trenches North of Sonme River
Counter Onsets
Fail.
SEVERAL TOWNS CAPTURED

London, July 17.-Gen. Sir Douglas
Haig has opened the second phase OF
the great offensive in the Somme re-
gion.
In a battle that exceeded in VIC
lence the first assault, thirteen days
ago, the British carried the German
second line Of four miles, captured
the villages of Bazantin lie Petit
Bazantin lie Grand, Longueval, and
Ovillers, and carried the remaining
German positions in the Trones wood
The battle began at daybreak. Only
the day before the German first line
from Hardecourt to Ovillers, had been
won. and the big guns had begun to
pounce once more at the Teuton
trenches.
All night the heavy artillery had
been driven without pause at the Ger
man second line. With the approach
of daybreak the bombardment was re-
doubled, and soon after the first of
Haig's troops left their defenses to
begin the charge.
rest of the day and is still going on
tonight. The Germans, taken I'M
awares by the swiftness with which
the attack had been renewed, were
forced back easily at first. But soon
re-enforcements were brought up and
heavy counter-attacks begun.
Two of these thrusts were crushed
by the British fire before they reached
the newly won British positions. Then,
in the afternoon, third was launched
at Bazantin lie Petit. So fierce was
this assault that Haig's troops were
pushed out Of the village. But fresh
infantry was brought up, and the
Teutons were routed once more.
By hewing, blasting, and bayOnnet-
ing their way the British broke
through the German second line from
above Bazantin to below Trones wood.
In point Of area, this is much the best
work done by the British since the be-
ginning of the last fortnight. Fight
ing continues around Ovillers; and vir-
tually the whole village is in British
hands.
The capture Of Longueville brings
Haig's line five miles east Of the
original front and into position with
the French at Hardecourt. In the
wood beyond Longueville and the high
points of the ridge the battle in un-
abated.
Slowly but steadily the British ad-
vance continues. The positions they
have just won put in peril the Ger
man hold on Pozieres, on the main
road from Albert to Bapaume. The
Anglo-French gains from July l in

Habits and economic status: Our
two meadowlarks, though differing
much in song, resemble each other
closely in plumage and habits Grassy
plains and uplands covered with a
thick growth of grass or weeds, with
nearby water, furnish the conditions
best suited to the meadowlark's taste.
The song Of the western bird is loud,
clear, and melodious. That of its east
ern relative is feebler and loses much
by comparison. In many localities
the meadowlark is classed and shot
as game bird. From the farmers
standpoint this a mistake, since it's
value as an insect eater is far greater
than as an object of pursuit by the
sportsman. Both the boil weevil, the

Story of CIandestnie Love, De-
ception and Death Ends.
YOUTH Is HELD GUILTLESS
Mrs. Orpet Weeps as Twelve Men Ac-
quit Son-Defendant Sits as If
Stupefied When "Not Guilty"
Rings Through Room.

Waukegan, ILL.,, July 18.-Will Orpet
Is free.
The jury reached q verdict of acquit-
tai after four hours and thirty-nine
minutes elaboration and three bal
lots. The verdict means the young col
lege student was not responsible, in
the eyes of the law, at least, for the
death of Marian Lambert, his one-time
sweetheart, February 9.
And thus ended the story Of clan
destine love, deception and death which
began when Orpet and Marian were
high school students together.
She paid her part of the penalty by
death by poison within the shadows
Of the three oaks in Helms wood, Or

ture at the hands Of the state in it's at
tempt to convict him.
Judge Donnelly received the verdict
from James G. O'Shea, the foreman
of the jury. The stuffy little court
room was crowded. The verdict was
read. The words mot guilty" were
heard.
A woman screamed and several
startled cries from other women were
heard. The bailiff raped for order,
but the spectators swarmed toward
the defendant. Some left the building
and carried out the cry that he was
free.
Orpet sat unmoved in his chair as
fhnTInh hn in cfr1 Ia Nryac
not the same Will Orpet who had sat
I'm the courtroom for the last two
mOnths-calm, cynical, sneering. Be-
side the defendant were his mother,
Mrs. Edward Orpet, and Mrs. Edwin
Taylor, his landlady in Madison, Wis.
The mother of the boy burst into
tears when she realized he was free.
From the very first day of his impris-
Onment she has stood by him. And
each session of the court saw her seat
ed beside him.
She took his arm and led him from
the courtroom, from the throng of per-
sons who encircled him. In an ante
room she put her arms around him and
kissed him. She has believed in his
innocence from the start.
The youths father was not in the
courtroom. Neither was Frank Lam
bert, father of the dead girl. He at
tended the closing argument to the
jury, but went home when the jury re-
tired to deliberate. His wife is i'll,
worn by the long anxiety of the trial.
In speaking of the verdict, James
III. Wilkerson, one of Orpet's counsel,
said:
"Such unanimity on the part of the
jury certainly shows how the evidence
impressed the jury. The finding ought
to convince everyone the boy Is still
worthy of confidence.
"Orpet will so away for rest. Then
ne will return and resume his studies.
He will take up his work and go on as
If nothing had happened. He is worthy
of confidence and will go out and prove
1T to the world, too. The black shadow
which hung over him has been swept
away. He should be accorded the
same chance any other young man has.
The jury, has said he is innocent, and
the world should receive him as SUCH"
The trial cost Lake county $4,000.
