Who the Bridal Couples Were—Per- sonal Notes of In- terest. ——— A crowd filled Grace Episcopal Chapel, 9th and D streets southwest, to witness a marriage ceremony last evening. The bride, Miss Henrietta Smith, a pronounced blonde, tall and slender, was appropriately dressed in a nile green crepe, the only ornament being an old-fashioned cameo pin, worn by her great grandmother on her wedding day. The groom, Mr. J. Wm. Brewer, escort- ed the bride down the altar, preceded by the Grace Chapel choir boys chanting an appropriate hymn. The only attendant was the pretty and petite young sister of the bride, Miss May, who led the procession. She was dressed in a lovely white, carry- ing in her hand a white prayer-book, a gift | to the bride, from which the Episcopal | Church service was read by the rector, to an accompaniment of slow music by the organ, After the ceremony the bridal pro- cession retired down the opposite aisle from whence they advanced, the positions being reversed. They were ushered into the wait- ing carriages and driven rapidly away. The Excelsior Club held its regular month- ly meeting on Wednesday evening, at the residence of Mr. J. L.

About one hundred and fifty little ones of all ages and nationalities were made glad by an all around Thanksgiving dinner yes- terday at Central Methodist Protestant Church. their first taste of turkey after Smith’s thoughtfully short blessing. Although it was the offering of a Metho- dist church, there was no denominational line and many of other creeds sat down to The last table was finished by Pastor Tong watched the spread. It was in the hands of the voung ladies of the Faithful Circle of King’s Daughters, under the leadership of Miss Sallie Gorrie, who had been an active helper when Miss Libbie Ferguson, the former president of the circle, inaugurated the custom, two years back. Among Miss Gorrie’s assistants were Mrs. Whiteside and Mrs. Reid. Misses Compton, Parsons, Locke, Don.elly.

A sale of real estate that attracted a good deal of attention was that of the auction sale of the property 1327 F street. The property has been offered once or twice before, but was in each case with- drawn by the owner, because the highest price offered was not considered satisfac- tory. A sale was finally effected privately. When the property was offered at auction two years ago, the dates of the two sales be- ing quite close together, the highest bid at the first sale was $22 per foot, and at the second $19 per foot was the bid. The property was offered Wednesday afternoon by Mr. Duncanson, the auctioneer, on the onier of the trustees. There was a large crowd in attendance, but the bidding was not lively, and seemed to be confined to a few persons. It was started at $13 per foot, and the next bid was fifty cents higher, which was quickly followed by the last bid. leaving the price at $14 per square foot, or about $45,000. The property has a frontage of twenty-seven feet eight inches on F street between 13th and 14th streets by a depth of 113 feet eight inches to an alley. The improvements consist of a three- story brick building, which is not suitable for that locality, and it therefore does not enter into the value of the property. The purchaser was Mr. W. B. Hibbs, who is, at present, carrying on a stock broker- age business at 1335 F street, but who in- tends, as he told a Star man, to go into business for himself. He proposes to erect on this site a new structure, fitting up the first floor for the use of his own business, and leasing the remainder of the build- ing. It is considered that the property was offered at a very unfavorable time, and the price obtained is looked upon as a pretty good indication of the bed value. ——$——— To Benefit the Orphans. The tenth annual sociable of the Catholic Knights of America was given iast night at the armory of the Washington Light In- fantry for the benefit of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. The attendance was as large as the promoters of the affair could have wished, and the sum netted for the orphans was interestingly large. All the branches of the knights were represented. The mem- bers of St. Teresa’s branch were noticeable. Mr. Edward J. Hannon served as chairman of the reception committee. The floor com- mittee was as follows: John Shughrue, Will- jam A. Johnson, George Dant, jr., Dr. J. J. Slattery, James A. Dee, George D. Daly, Ben Roth, Frank P. Daly, William F. Auth, Frank M. Dayhoff, Edw. I. Ackermann, John H.

Pettit. g a ___ A Small Fire and Much Exciteme: An exciting scene was enacted at 9 o'clock last night at the residence of J. M. Hodges, No. 925 H street northwest. The large oil lamp standing in the bow window of the parlor was; overturned by a young man who was hélping a party of young people to make merry. Instantly the tapestry and wceod-work of the window was in flames. Sergeant Acton and Officer Sears saw the blaze. Sears, acting under instructions of his sergeant, pulled box No. 132. Acton broke into the house, shut the doors of the burning room and began to bail Potomac water on the fire. Mrs. Hodges fainted, and was carried into No. 927, where med- ical assistance was rendered. Thanks to Sergeant Acton, the blaze was extinguished before the arrival of the engines. ———_—— A Quick Trip From eo. The four-sticker Independent, Capt.

The exercises were opened with an organ voluntary, fol- lowed by an anthem, “Thanks Be to God.” The pastor, Rev. T. D. E.

Clark of Maine and Sterling Brown of the Plymouth Con- gregational Church. Messrs. A. C. Hughes and Cox rendered suitable declamations.
