SATUR ie Y, —=- THE TABOR WEDDING. A Colorado View of It—The True In- wardness of the New Alliance. ‘From the Chicago Herald. A prominent official in the government build- ing yesterday met a Herald reporter at a place where they were taking upa collection fora little Bourbon county heathen, and asked, “Did you see the Tabor wedding cards? Jive got one.” The card was addressed to the gentleman, as he said with a knowing look,‘‘in the bride’sown hand.” It wasa broad bit of pasteboard, with a silver margin half an inch wide on two sides. The engraved superscription was also in silver, thus carrying out the Tabor idea of a “‘silver / Senator's” consequence to perfection. ‘I was in Washington when the thing took place,” said the gentleman, “and to a man who knows the ex-Senator and his bride it was very fanny.” “You knew the bride then, before?” asked ind her whole family. And a pectable family. Old Peter Me- 5 nm. and hi has been aronnd Oshkosh for many years. He's a tailor by trade, and of late years he has been running a taiior shop in Oshkosh and support- ing his family. There are four children in all—two sons and two daughters. The sons are promising young men. The oldest daughter ts nicely married. Lizzie, whom Tabor has gone wild over, is the youngest of the family. Pretty? No, not exactly, but she is very voluptuous-look- ing, very fond of admiration, and smarter than asteel trap. She has only made one blunder in life so far, viewed from a worldly sense, and that was when she married young Doe. He ‘wasn't any account, and they didn’t get on very well together. He wasjealous of her—not alto- gether without cause, I guess, for she was always seeking admiration. Doe was the son of an old Oshkosh man,who afterward got down in the world. The Does went to Denver three years ago, and it was there that the fair Lizzie met Tabor, who wasjust then beginning to get rich. There isn’t any use dwelling on what fol- lowed. It is enough to say that Tabor’s influ- ence and Tabor’s money procured a divorce for the lady as fast as stern justice in Colorado could see its way clear. I think Doe, too, was penstoned off in a mild kind of way—given’a fat job in Leadviile,or somewhere in one of Tabor's mines, From that time the fortunes of the McConrt family have improved. Old Peter has closed up the tailor shop, and they say that— weil, no matter what they say. Peter doesn’t work any more. Of course it would have been better all around if the ex-Senator and his bride could have called in the priest before, but the former Mrs. Tabor was a kind of stumbling bleck. She wouldn't consent to a divorce, nor didn’t, until the Tabor ‘sack’ ylelded something like $500,000. The old lady had got $100.000 before, and she wouldn’t have objected, proba- bly, only she knew about the Lizzie Doe busi- ness, and she swore that if Tabor wanted the Oskkosh beauty he must pay big money to her (Mrs. T.) for the privilege. She got it; for if there was an infatuated old rake it was Tabor.” “Did I understand you were at the wedding?” asked the reporter. “Yes,I wasthere. The Washington news- papers got onto it pretty well, but 1t took aman who knows the antecedents of the party to ap- reciate the fun. It was great sport to see how I at ease the President was, and how he seemed to realize that he had got intoa snap. It was Tom Bowen who got him to go, and I shouldn't wonder if that very thing will make the atmos- phere a little cool for Tom around the White House during the remainder of Arthur's term. It was thoughtless of Bowen, for he knew all about the real inwardness of the Tabor-Doe af- tair,and has known it tor two years, and he ought not to have got the President in such a position. But nobody seemed to dare to hint to the President that the wedding was no place | forhim. The Hills ought to have said some- thing, for Mrs. Hill knew all about. it, and, of course, refused to have anything to do with it. Senator Hill ought to have dropped the Presi- dent a hint. But Tabor did the thing in style, so far as money couid make it stylish. He had the whole second floor front at Willard’s, and I suppose there were nearly a ton of flowers sent from New York to decorate them. They had a floral bell six feet indiameter. You ought to have seen the Colorado boys laugh when they saw that. The ceremony was very brief. Tom Bowen and Arthur stood to the right of the bride, and Tom Ochiltree, Jim Belford, and three or four others to the left. The bride’s sister was there, and her mother, and they were about the only ladies present, except some of the ladies of the hotel. Atter the ceremony Tom Bowen drag- ged Arthur up to congratulate the pair, and the bride, who had evidently been re- hearsing for the occasion, dexteronsly removed her corsage bouquet, divided it and pinned half to the President’s coat. While she was doing that ‘Chet’s’ eyes were downward cast upon her lovely form, and he seemed to en- Joy it, for he lingered and his eyes sparkled with appreciation. You bet Arthur is one of: the boys, and has aneye for the beautiful. The banquet was rather a failure in point of attend- auce, but the dance afterward, when they threw the parlors open to the public, was a success. Of course, the President went away immediately after the ceremony, but Tom Bowen and the Denver crowd kept it up, and the Tabor wine bill got pretty blg before morning.” “Yes,” continued the gentleman, “Lizzie did pretty well financially, I guess. ‘They say he settled $200,000 on her. and fixed the McCourt fam!ly handsomely besides.” “What do you think of the St. Louis mar- rlage, months ago?” “T believe It. Oh, for that matter, they might as well have been married two years ago. Washington ceremony was got up as a mere aplurge to try and force themselves into society. hat it proved a failure Tabor has got nobody to blame for but himself.” Mr. Blaine’s Son. From the Denver Tribune. There is a good deal of nonsensical talk about Col. Coppinger, the husband of Alice Blaine, going the rounds of the press. That Coppin- ger’s marriage to Miss Blaine should have de- veloped in him a subject for the paragrapher’s wit and censure is lamentable. That he has gray hair, that he is handsome, and that he is fiity years old, does not warrant the criticism and abuse he is receiving. The respect and ad- miration for the young bride, who wedded in opposition to sentiment, should at least protect her choice against rebuke. Coppinger, with all the faults which the gossiping world develop in a man of his years and mode of life, is not a bad fellow. He 1s brave and generous, and beneath an austere armor, which is the crea- tion of long years of military discipline and hardships, he possesses a warm heart and a kindly nature. He has been a convivial spirit at both the feast and the sideboard. and as an entertainer he has earned a reputation among his fellow-officers throughout the entire service. While being an exacting commandant, on miti- tary duty, his severity never obtruded itself into his social circle. His military harshness hever interfered with his hospitality, and when the circunistances warranted It tie private sol- dier in his command was always as welcome to his good cheer as the-equal or superior officer. When Coppinger was stationed at Camp Verde, Arizona, as the captain of one of the companies of the 23d Infantry in 1872, the writer happened to be the witness of an Incident that illustrates the character and disposition of the man. A. band of recruits arrived one day, filled with tear and terror of the officer under whom they were to serve forthe ensuing five years. Re- port and rumor had pictured Coppinger to them as being a Votes captain and a persecutor of the rank and file. Coppinger, attired in a sult of clothes that might have distinguished ateam- ster, was In_the sutler’s store when one of the recruitsentered. ‘‘I would like to see this Capt. Coppinger,” saidtherecruit. “I understand he’s a hard man.” Everybody present ex Cop- pinger to annihilate the new-comer, but he did not. On the contrary, he engaged him in pleas- ‘ant conversation, in which Capt. Coppinpet was abused in a manner that caused his listeners to fear that the private would be punished for his temerity. Finally, when the vocabulary was ex- hausted, Coppinger introduced himself to the astounded soldier. “I none you will think bet- ter of what you have sald,” remarked the Cap- tain as he turned to leave. ‘Well, see here,” re- pee the recruit, “I suppose this means guard- jouse and ball and chain for me, but if I have to die for it I must insist that, according to all re- ports, you are a —— tyrant.” Coppinger looked he feliow in the a minute. “I like your courage,” he said, when at length he broke the silence. The recruit was soon after commissioned 88 a corporal. ——_——_-e-____ Gey. Onp's Mexican Graxpson.—The “in- ternational baby,” the son of Gen. Trevino and his wife, the daughter of Gen.

How the Castoms Officerw Dive into the Mysteries of the Feminine Toilct. From the New York Times. There is a bride among the passengers—a sweet thing, the soui of consqentiousness. When the question, “Anything dutiable?” is pro- pounded by the matter-of-fact custom officer to her, she appeals to Harry, standing by her side, with aconfident “You know,” “But really, I don’t know,my dear. You can tell better what's in your trunks than I can,” from Harry. “Oh, but how can I tell 7” she continues in despair ; “{ don’t know what is want I have some presents for friends; some little things I bouzht for myself, but really I don’t know.” “Would $50 cover the cost ?” this trom the staff. “I think it would, but perhaps you had better say “All right, you will swear to that?” “Yes, but please wait a minute; perhaps I ought to think again before I swear. Oh,Harry, dear. is there anything I have forgotten? It would be so dreadful if 1 should swear to a lie. Let me see; (after a minute's calculation), yes; | [really think $60 will cover the utmost.” When. the bride has vanished the staff takes occasion to remark that this is quite an exceptional case. “Usually,” he continues, “I much prefer a man’s declaration to a woman's. As arule, you can’t depend nich on women. They have no sense of responsibility, and with most of them the desire to smuggle something amounts to a mito the Inspes the face fi book. To the ctor the face is an open book— the feminine smuggler is caught and she knows it. Her cheeks glow as if with fire, great drops of perspiration stand on her forehead, her eyes have the look of a frightened hare—and all the while that wide-awake inspector is getting deeper and deeper into the mysteries of a young woman's toilet. 1t is the custom for inspectors to pass rather lightly over some articles, to make as little ado about them as possible, be- cause long experience has taught them that women have feelings about some things which even a custom house officer is bound to respect. But this is no common case.- Duty is duty, business is business. Nothing must be slighted. Each article is, therefore, separately unfolded, carefully felt over, held at arm’s length and re- luctantly pat asid Quite another picture is this: It is the bride’s trunk that is now undergoing examination. Be- sides the Inspector there is a deputy appraiser present inasmuch as her declaration made it certain there would be something for him to do. A delicate perfume ascends as the lid of the trank is lifted. And, as the examination pro- eceds, scarcely a single article is displaced. Whatever the mysteries of the toilet hidden in that capacious receptacle they remain go for the most part, for what. inspector would not spare the blushes of a bride? A glance informs the ap- praiser what the value of any article ls, and in a twinkling he has prepayed a schedule, figured the cost at 245 (quite a shade below the sum to which the lady was willing to make declaration), the duty at €14.50, passed her overto the col- tector’s deputy, who accepts the money, givesa receipt therefor, and the business is finished. It may be remarked here that the customs offi- cers seldom evince any disposition to go behind the deciaration. Thus the articles on which the bride paid duty were intended for friends, ac- cording to her own declaration; had she said they were her own, for personal uge, nearly. all would have passed duty free. One article, tor example, was a handsoine fan, another a scarf pin, another a lace collar, etc. Some poople will speak of her as a lady, others a fool. SCIENCE CLEVERLY APPLIED. How a Professor Discovers a Culprit. From the New Haven Register. For some time the reckless use of firearms on and about the Yale campus has caused consider- ablecomment. Not long ago a bullet entered the study of Dr. Barbour, the college professor, striking the ceiling above his head and falling upon the paper on which he was writing. It was not learned who fired the shot. About a week ago a shot entered the dining room of a protessor while he and his family were at tea. This gentleman is a professor of mathematics, and has made the study of curves a specialty. From the direction of the shot he knew that it came from West Divinity building, but on account of the darkness he could not see the place of firing. To most persons this clue would not have aziounted to much, but the professor knew what to do. He was deter- | mined to find out the reckless student, and he brought his mathematical knowledge into play. Knowing the breadth of the room, he measured the fall of the ball in crossing ft. Then he measured the distance from hig: house tothe West Divinity building. With these data, and knowing the curve which a bullet takes, he computed the height from which the bullet was fired and fixed upon the very window from which the bullet must have come. The next day two students were greatly eur- prised by a call from the professor, who ac- cused them of firing the shot. They denied it, and the professor gave his proof. The proof was so strong that they finally admitted their guilt. Yesterday they were told to vacate their rooms. They will receive no other punish- ment. ———_-+-____. Saturday Smiles.

Although ladies have appeared at many public balls and parties this season with painted dresses of novel and exquisite pattern, the fashion does not appear to be spreading as rapidly as was expected several years ago, when it firsc became prominent in this country. It ‘was asserted at first that by the ald of painting all the effect of the most delicate embroidery could be secured, with much brighter and more durable colors, and at less expense. The groundwork ot silk, satin, or velvet has furn- ished Suporuatey for many beautiful designs, and some effects have been produced that could not have been attained in embroidery without enormous cost. Some of the ladies complain, however, that the painting is not so durable as embroidery, and requires greater care to pre- vent destruction by cracking. The parts of the dress usually ornamented by painting have gen- erally been the larze.smooth surtaces, which are not easily wrinkled; but it is admitted that the wearer of a painted dress, if she wishes to pre- serve its beauty, must be a very careful person indeed. Among the earliest painted dresses to attract attention in this city were several which were worn by Miss Fanny Davenport. Since then many actresses haye worn painted dresses, gen- erally the work of artist friends. Mary Ander- son has had a number of painted costumes. One of black yelyet and white satin, having the appearance of embossing, was painted tor her by Miss Louise Bradic, ot Syracuse. Miss Cora Tanner, who recently appeared in “Odette” at the Park theater, Brooklyn. had two painted dresses which attracted attention. One was a train dress, made up without lace, of blue satin, on which were painted scarlet poppies, golden rod, cat-tails, and wild leaves that covered the entire front. The second dress was a pink surah satin with painted panels, on which were one large bunch of peonies, the bough ofan old tree, and two large bluebirds. They were Inted by Miss Georgie Lamson, of Brooklyn. Miss Rosa Keene, who played Dora in the “Planter’s Wife,” had a black velvet dress ainted inthe same manner by Miss Lamson, Miss Laura Don has worn several stage dreases painted by herself in water colors. One was painted on the back of the waist, and the other on the lower part of the skirt. Most painted dresses, however, have been done in oil, as water colcrs have been found to fade. Artists claim that the embroidery work lacks accuracy both of form and color, and is altogether inad- equate to give the delicate tints, the proper shades, or the finely turned curves of yines and tendrils. One of the opera companies playing “Pa- tience” had a set of costumes Fates ry Val- tier, Miss Leondria Bradley, of the Robson and Crane troupe, appeared in Brooklyn recently with a notable painted dress. It was a black satin train with shirred back, square-cut waist, and lace sleeves. ‘the ornaments painted on | the skirt by Miss Fanny Clare,of Brooklyn, were red lilies, red and yellow wild flowera, butter- | files and birds. Under the brilliant light of the | theater the effect was very striking. Miss Rose Coghlan and Miss Emily Rigl have a variety of painted dresses in their wardrobes. Miss Sadie Bigelow, of Robson and Crane's troupe, has worn a yellow satin dress, painted with scarlet lilies, roses, and morning glories by Miss Fanny Clare of Brooklyn, Miss Lilian Vane has worn a painted white satin dress. Miss Belle Melle- ville, who ts now playing in the “Shan Rhue,” has some dresses delicately painted by Miss Amy Stocking of Brooklyn. Among the artists Mr. Hicks has painted a dress for his wife,which she wore at the Sorosis reception this winter. Mr. Harry Fenn has painted several dresses for his daughter. Miss Griswold painted for herself a princess train | party dress with panels in place of overskirt. On the panels were blackberry vines shaded in autumn tones. There was recently on exhl- bition at the rooms of a theatrical modiste in Fifth avenue, near 17th street, an ele- gant painted evening costume. The corsage was of ruby Lyons silk velvet, decollettee, pointed back and front. The neck and sleeves were trimmed with antique lace representing | roses, and buds hand painted in delicate tints. The skirt was of navy satin duchesse, a narrow puffing ot the velvet showing out from under- neath the skirt, with full ruching of lace to match neck and sleeves. ‘The panel on the right side was painted to correspond with the rest of the dress. Two paniers, one falling over the other from right to left, were edged with painted lace and fastened to the center of the train with loops and ends caught with silver buckles. At the Arion ball this year a lady wore a dress, the painting algne on which was said to have cost $2,000. WHAT SIX BRIDES WORE. Wedding Costumes at Random Gath- ered from New England wo Mexico, It is noteworthy that in their reports of wed- dings the St. Louis newspapers ase their most gushing adjectives in making pen portraits of | the brides instead of in deseri: iptions of the bridal costumes. So it comes that tne following sketch of a St. Louts bridal toilet isin the nature of an inventor}. Says the reporter: “The bride wore a robe of lvory-tinted Oitoman rep silk, en train, the train finished by a row of knife-pleating, beaded by a rose ruching, and around the front of the skirt a box-pleating sur- mounted by a deep flounce of matelasse Spanish lace; Watteau overdress of light tulle descend- ing in billowy folds to the extreme end of the train. and the front draperies caught up by clusters of orange blossoms fresh from San Fran- cisco; square-cut corsage, with border of lace descending in a jabot to the hem of the robe,and short sleeves composed of a fall of lace; half wreath of orange blossoms on the corsage and looping the lace of the sleeves; diamond ear- rings were her sole ornaments.” At this wed- ding there was one bridesmaid who “wore a pretty costume of delicate pink surah satin, made dancing length and trimmed with Pompa- dour pleatings, long, draped overdress, trim- med with Spanish lace, and corsage cut square in the neck, and short’ sle with garniture of white Spanish lace, boquet orsage of lilies of the valley; pearl ornaments.” The bride to whom this paragraphrelates was ‘one of Chicago's most lovely belles.” “She looked a queen,” continues the Inter-Ocean, *‘a veritable qneen in her bridal dress, which was a chef @euvre of the milliner’s art. The robe was of shell-pink brocade moire antique silk, in princess mode, with a Marie Stuart neck anda onise collar with seed pearl trimming. The waist and front were trimmed with cut beads in fine arbesque patterns. The train was fan- shaped, with narrow knife-pleating. The bridal veil depended from a wreath of white camelias and showed in superb relief against the rayen- black hair. The ornaments were a pair of dia- from the groom, a diamond innocence, “you can take your choice.
