I belleve there are lots of ‘people that fre ready to get well Just like I was. ‘They will get well when they take the same kind of medicine I did. and rot before. I have worked hard all my life, first on a farm and then {n a Macksmith shop, and have been troubled with dyspepsia ever since I was 18 years old. I am thirty-five now, and feel like I was sweet sixteen. I think Ripans Tabules are a great medicine for dyspepsia.’* Mr. Ross Gould, editor of the Democrat, the newspaper of Downs, writes, August 24, 1805: “Mr. Donaldson's brother-in-law 1s Charley My Huuson of Downs. He lives on a farm east of there. Donaldson has lived there about fhree years, and, being a blacksmith, ts well known. His reputation is good.

Miss Teresa Andrade Becomes Mra. Gustav Schlottmann—Personal Notes of Interest. Great clusters of wisteria now frame the dcorway of the Venezuelan legation on Iowa Circle. A very large and notable company passed over its threshold today at noon to witness the marriage of Miss Teresa Andrade, second daughter of the minister, and Mr. Gustav Schlottmann of Germany. The bride, who is both attrac- tive in person and manner, was born in Genoa, where her parents resided for some years. Mr..Andrade was afterward made governor of Maracaibo, in Venezuela. More latterly, as a memeber of Congress, a resi- dence in Curaccas followed for ten years. Mr. Andrade was accompanied by his fam- ily to this country, during the world’s fair year, and it was during this period the young ladies acquired English, which was such @ pleasure to them when they return- ed again over a year ago. Mr.. Schiott- mann is a handsome young German, who has resided for some years in Venezuela, and ts largely engaged in the coffee busi- For the ceremony, today the house was most elaborately decked—white roses and white blooms completely transformed the drawing rooms. The wedding bower was arranged in the wide bay window. Palms and foliage plants formed the background. Overhead was suspended a huge wedding bell, made of white flowers. Draperies of vines, dotted with white rosebuds and lilies of the valley, were tied back each side of the bower, with bows and loops of white rbbon. Garlands of ribbon made a pret- ty effect across the top of the bower, and from the center loop the wedding’ bell swung. The mantels in the parlors were banked with maiden hair fern, sprayed with white roses and orchids. ‘The orciiid is almost the queen of the floral kingdom in Venez- uela. In addition to these fragrant and beautiful decorations, the superb gifts of flowers sent the bride’ added other gorzeous treasures to the room. In the dining rovin white flowers and Bermuda lilies also pre- dominated. The wedding cake was wreath- ed in roses and valley iilies. Rey. Thomas 8. Lee, rector of St. Mat- thew's Church, was the officiating clergy- man. Miss Andrade, who received the guests, attended her sister as maid of honor. Mr. Jose Andrade was best man. The family party and the couple entered the drawing room together. The bride wore a slightly trained dress of white satin. The bodice was trimmed with lace and sprays of orange blossoms. A cascade of the lace agd orange blossoms trimmed one side of the skirt in front. She wore a wreath of orange blossoms, a tulle veil and carried a large bouquet’ of lilies of the valley. Miss Andrade was ele- gantly gowned in white silk. After the ceremony breakfast was served. Late this afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Schlottmann left for New York and Niagara Falls. The bride's traveling dress was of gray cloth, with @ pretty finish of gilt braid on the bodice. The couple will sail for Colombia, where they will in future reside, May 14.

The enjoy- ment of the evening was the unwinding of the spider's web, the cords of the thread running over the entire house, with many knots and turns. Much amusement was occasioned by this, the prizes at the close being awarded to Miss Gardiner and Mr. Andrews. At the close of this refreshments were served to all, the table being prettily decorated. Music and song wound up the pleasant evening. Among those present were Messrs.

At the close of the exercises refreshments were served by mem- bers of the Ladies’ Aid Society, tive Par- lors of Wimodaughsis. The art loan exhibit by the ladies of Wimodaughsis is attracting a good attend- ance both during the day and at night, al- though the visitors are more numerous in the evening. The pictures are arranged in an attractive manner, and so that nearly all have a good light, and the artists who have visited the exhibit have expressed their satsfaction at the favorable showing their works have been given’ There are Some very valuable paintings and an in- teresting collection of curios, besides some rare old laces, which always delight the feminine heart. All the exhibits have been numbered, and a printed catalogue cun now be obtained by ail visitors. Each evening there is a brief program of entertainment, rome of the best talent in the city having volunteered for that pur- pore. Last evening there were recitations by Cora Penfield and Marie Howe, and vocal solos by Miss Mary Helen Howe. Bach number was heartily encored, so that instead of there being three there were six distinct selections. Miss Emily Howlett was an efficient accompanist. Mrs. Brad- ley, the president of Wimodaughsis, and Mrs. Cameron, the chairman of the enter- tainment committee, are constantly on hand, with a large corps of assistants, who look after the comfort and enjoyment of the visitors. There will be an attractive program to- night, and Friday night Mr. Ewell, the artist, will give an exhibition of the graph- ophone, which will be of decided interest. The Wimodaughsis ladies hope for good results from this exhibit, for they are car- rying a heavy burden in the purchase of the handsome building which the organization occupies, and they hope to be able to meet with the proceeds of this enterprise some payments that are now due. Wimodaugheis has done much for women struggling to support themselves, and is constantly striv- ing to enlarge its field of usefulness. The ladies in charge feel that they are entitled to the generous support of the whole com- munity, and want to see their parlors crowded during the remainder of the week.
