Rev. W. W. De performed the cere- at the First Baptist . Martin and McBarton Webb. Mr. Percy 8. Wood of Corsicana Was the best man, and Messrs. J. Rath- bourne Latham, W. H. Crank, ir, M. Walker Sims and Bartlett Ultimas Sims were the ushers. Two little girls dressed in gowns of white crepe, made in empire cushion on which rested the wedding ring, and a little page walked with them ahead of the bridal procession, carrying the pray- er book from which the service was read. The bride was gowned in white duchess satin, with the waist draped with lace, and her tulle veil was held to her hair by pearl pins that were afterward given to the bridesmaids as souvenirs. The bridesmaids were gowned in azure sat- in. At the reception which followed at the home of the bride's parents the guests received boxes of wedding cake, with the covers filled with English violets. After a wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Mills will come to this city to spend the winter. The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Elkins, daughter of ex-Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins, and Mr. Edward E. Bruner of New York, which will take place at ll o'clock on Thursday at St. Patrick's Cathe- dral, will be quite cosmopolitan in charac- ter. There will be many westerners, Wash- ingtonians and southerners present. The early hour selected is because there is to be a nuptial mass. Miss Elkins, who is a handsome young woman, will doubtless look very charming in her bridal finery. Her attendants, with the two exceptions of Miss Renee Coudert and Miss Bruner, the bridegroom's sister, both of whom live in New York, will attend from other cities for the occasion. Miss Madeleine Kerens from St. Louis, Miss May Calkert from Phila- delphia, Miss Amy McMillan, who is a daughter of Senator McMillan, from De- troit and Miss Grace Davis, who is the best girl. Mr. Frederick Bruner will be the best man and Messrs. Joseph Bruner, John Gil- roy (a son of Mayor Gilroy), W. W. Niles, jr., Edgar H. Booth and T. Henry Walter will be the ushers. After the wedding there will be a breakfast and reception at the New Netherland Hotel, and then the couple will go out of town for a trip. They will be at the Plaza Hotel for the most of the winter. Doubtless many friends will go on from this city to attend the wedding. Mrs. Arthur Herbert and her mother and sister, Mrs. and Miss Gammell of Newport, will sail next Saturday for Tangiers to join Mr. Herbert, who has been transferred to that post. Mrs, Hearst left here yesterday for San Francfsco, where she will spend the rest of the winter.Business demands caused her to change all her plans for the year, the most pd which she had expected to pass in this city. Capt. Robert Armour of the quartermas- ter general’s office and Miss Helen Shep- herd will be married at half-past 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, November 20, at the Western Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr. Easton will officiate, and after December i the couple will be at home to their friends at 1604 Q street.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Duncan Miller of | Indianapolis have sent their cards and that of their infant son, Sidney Stanhope Mil- ler, to a large circle of their friends in this city, who remember them with pleasure. This first grandchild in the family of ex- Attorney General Miller entered this world of joys and sorrows on September 27, and is thriving beautifully.

Mr. John R. Mclean has tendered the use of his house, corner of | Vermont avenue and Hi street, for these entertainments. To make it as easy as pos- sible for the ladies, it was suggested to di- vide the board, one half being responsible for the lunch on the 20th, the other half on the 2ist, and all to serve on the committee for the 5 o'clock tea. All the ladies were placed on the soliciting committee to se- cure donations of money or provisions for the lunches and teas. The engagement is announced of Miss | Fannie Schlosberg to Mr. Samuel Simon. Miss Evarts Ewing, daughter of the late Major Evarts S. Ewing, U. S. A., has re- turned to Washington, after a visit to Chi- cago, and_will spend the winter with Mrs. | Thomas Cromwell at 1602 Q street north- west. —_—____ ART STUDENTS. A Splendid Series of Lectures to Be Delivered. The Art Students’ League of this city has made arrangements for an important series of lectures on art subjects to be delivered at the Builders’ Excharge this winter. There will be one lecture a week, beginning on November 16, and lasting through until March 10, and the lectures, while primarily designed for the benefit of the students, | will be cpen to the public generally and will |no doubt be an interesting feature of the | winter. The first lecture will be given by | Mr. J. Carroll Beckwith, who will talk on style, carried between them a white satin | THE COUNTY SCHOOLS. Trustce Witmer Gives Some Interest- ing Facts in Regard to Them. The Commissioners, anxious to learn the condition of the Tenleytown, Brightwood, Brookiand and Giesboro’ schools, especially regarding the number of children of school age who are unaccommodated, wrote to Trustee Witmer for a statement of the facts. Dr. Witmer’s report was received today and states that during October, 1888, there were enrolled in the Tenleytown school 183 scholars, who were taught in seven grades, from first to seventh. The eighth grade scholars, some fifteen or more in number, of this locality are accommo- dated in the schools of West Washington, The school building at Tenleytown isa | two-story, four-room brick structure, and it is probable that it was originally intended |that each room should accommodate fifty children, irrespective of grades. There were enrolled in the Brightwood school 199 scholars, taught in it - from first to eighth, and at there were enrolled 181 scholars, taught in seven grades, from first to seventh. | ,The school buildings at Brightwood ana Brookland are similar to the one at Tenley- town, though erected at a later period, | and are slightly more modern in character. In the Giesboro’ school there were enrolled in October, 1898, 120 scholars, who were |taugbt in seven grades, from first to seventh. The building here is an antiquated, one- | Story, two-room, wooden structure, in all respects inadequate for the purpose for which it was years ago designed, and it is at present unfit for use as a school 4 “In conclusion,it may be unnecessary, but I must remark that owing to the lack of room, and the constantly increasing at- vernon in all wool nae nage referred to, the principals are unable to the pupils, but are obliged to crowd two ry three grades together, diversifying | the work of the teachers, and forming what | @re very correctly called mixed schools.” —o—_. A Representative Building in Wash- ington for Each of the States. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The suggestion that has ben made to re- move to this city the state of the Columbian exposition Reser 4 be feasible owing to their fragile structure, but the idea underlying this suggestion is Worthy of serious consideration. What would be more appropriate than to have each state represented by a permanent building in the capital of the nation? This idea of state representation in Washington is already exemplified in the memorial stones in the Washington monument and the statues in the statuary room of the Capitol. But stones and statues do not meet the néeds of the case. What is need- ed is some building which would be repre- Sentative of the distinctive features of each state, so that from the whole could be gathered an idea of the magnificent pos- sibilities of this country. Such an edifice | might be enriched with historical treasures, adorned with portraits and sculptures of its representative citizens and specimens of the meeting place for visitors and in this city from the respective states, Doubtless there would be donations of his- torical relics, which would make each building a sort of state museum. There is no state in the Union too poor to erect such an edifice and none too rich to despise such @ representation. There are many beaut to the Columbian exposition have said that the state buildings were one of its most attractive features. The time come when they will be one of the most interest- ing objects in what we believe is to be @ | greater and certainly more enduring sition—this capital of the United States.
