At the Roman Catholic Chapel, Lough- berough, England, last month, Miss Mar- garet Christie, daughter of the late Dr. Arthur Christie of Fairlawn, Anacostia, and niece of Mrs. Perry Herrick of Beau- manor Hall, Longborough, was married to Mr. Wilfred Marriott-Dodington of the 2d Oxfcrdshire Light Infantry, third son of the late Mr. Thomas SE ane of Horsir gion House, Somerset. je cou- sin of the bride, Father Christie of the Oratory, South Kensington, officiated, as- sisted by Father McGuire and Father O'Reilly. Mr. Daniel Christie, brother, gave the bride away, and Mr. Roger Owen of the seme regiment as the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bride was beauti- fully dressed in rich white satin and bro- caded train, handsomely trimmed with very old lace. Her ornaments were diamond stars, the gift of her aunt. She carried an exquisite bouquet of white roses and ilies of the valley. The bridesmaids were Miss Edith Dodington and Miss Margaret Dodington, sisters of the bridegroom; Miss Margaret Trail, Miss Gertrude Bagshawe and Miss Edith Childers, cousin of the bride. Their dresses were of blue and white silk, trimmed with chiffon, and they also wore burnt straw hats, with white plumes. Miss Edith Childers was train bearer and wore blue and white. The bridesmaids’ ornaments consisted of brooches, with the initials “W. and M.” in pearls, and with a true lovers’ knot in the regimenta’ colors. White chrysanthe- mums and violets composed the bouquets which the bridesmaids carried. The ladies supporting the bridal party carried lovely shower bouquets. At the conclusion of the. ceremony the happy pair were driven to Beaumsnor Hall. The Woodhouse church bells rang out merry peals. At the entrance to Beaumanor Park, over the lodge gates, was e1ected a triumphal arch, with streamers of flags reaching out in various directicns, and festoons of green- ery blending with the varied colors in the buntirg. In the center of the spau the cheery word ‘‘Welcome” appeared on a gold grourd. On the reverse side was in- seribed, “The Lord prosper you. We wish you good luck in the name of the Lord.” Midway to the hall, across the carriage drive, there was arother archway built, and decorated with foliage and flags. Im- medic tely in front of the hall was a third most impostnmg triumphal arch, flags of many colcrs and evergreens again being employed in the adornment. Prominently displayed on the side looking toward the park were six words expressive of a wish heartfelt by all who read them, “God bless Wilfred ard Margaret Dodington.” On the reverse side, overlooking the hall, was written, “May all peace and joy be yours. These decorations at Beaumanor were car- ried out by the estate carpenter and gar- dener. As the wedding party neared the hall on their return from Loughborough the band played ‘‘Mendelssohn’s March.” Mrs. Perry Herrick had issued invitations to the whole neighborhood to join in the festivities, and a reception was held from 8 o’clcck to 6. The guests numbered 432. There was a magnificent wedding cake, ornamerted with natural flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Dodington went to London. The honeymoon will be spent at one of the pretty places on the Thames. PARIS, October 20.—Indignation prevails among the relatives and friends of the Marquise de Monstriers-Merinville, form- erly Miss Mary Gwendolin Caldwell, and founder of Divinity College of the Catholic University of Washington, at the false and injurious report, circulated in certain news- papers in America yesterday by the United Press, that Miss Caldwell was ‘quietly married a fortnight ago at the Hotel An- gleterre in Baden Baden,” and that “the present whereabouts of the pair is un- known.” While the newspapers which have to de- pend upon this agency were printing this false statement, the newspapers supplied by the Associated Press had printed the full story of the marriage yesterday at the English Church on the. Avenue Hoche, Paris, Bishop Spalding of Peoria officiating, of Miss Caldweli to the Marquis de Mon- striers-Merinville. The substance of the false dispatch was communicated this morning to Father Cook, superior of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Paris, where the marriage cer- emony was celebrated yesterday. The father superior was indignant at the false Statements made. He said that the Mar- quis de Monstriers-Merinville was in this city at the time the false reports of his al- leged secret marriage having taken place at Baden Baden were circulated in the United States. Miss Caldwell and Bishop Spalding, it is further pointed out, were stopping at the same hotel at Baden Baden, and the clergy and others are particularly indignant at the charge that Bishop Spalding would be guilty of such a practice. The announce- ment thet he performed yesterday’s cer- emony and was one of the witnesses should, it is said in conclusion, have set at rest any such false rumor as the one cir- culated in America. One of the most interesting events of the season was the celebration last night of the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. oO. R. Beall, at their residence, 201 E street. Mrs. Beall is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Thompson, sr., who celebrated their golden wedding in April last. She wore her wedding gown of rich white silk, that has turned with age to an ivory tint, and across the bodice was folded her veil and a bertha of rare thread lace. She wore her bridal ornaments of pearls and dia- monds. The couple were married at old Ascension Church, on H street, by Bishop Pinkney, in 1871. Mary Clare Thompson, Elizabeth Wood Thompson and Helen Nicholson attended as bridesmaids,in white frocks and ribbons, and the bride and groom of the evening were surrounded by their five children—Otho T. Beall, Maze Livingston Beall, Maude Beall, J. S. Beall and Willie Beall. Mrs. Beall is the direct descendant of Chancelor Robert R. Living- ston, who administered the presidential oath of office to Gen. Washington, and also great granddaughter of Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins, who served as Vice President, and a great granddaughter of the late Judge Smith Thompson, associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, and also Secretary of the Navy during the term of Monroe. The groom belongs to an old Maryland family. The house was prettily arranged and decorated with palms, red and white cosmos and yed roses, and upon the table there were pyramids of fruits and flowers; waxen candles in silver can. delabras, which belonged to the family for generations, ornamented the table. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Smith Thompson, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Smith Thomp- son, jr.. Mr. and Mrs. A. Livingston Thompson, Mrs. John Clagett, Mr. Mon- roe Clagett of Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius ‘Belt, Mr. and Mrs, John Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Allen of New York, Mr. Phil Darneille and the Misses Dar- neille, Mrs. J.

The immediate relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Phipps, and their children, followed these young ladies. When the Lohengrin March was being played by Miss Walker the bridal procession entered, preceded by the bridesmaid, Miss Cosmelia Russell of this city, attired in Nile green silk and pink chiffon, accompanied by Mr: Brnest Gibbons, followed by the groom and his best man, Mr. W. E. Duvall.. The bride ame in with her father, Mr. G. A. Mitchell, iby whom she was given in marriage.

A reception was given to the near | relatives and friends, after which Mr. and Mrs. Foster left for an extended trip to Niagara Falls, New York and other points north.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Philip Smith have returned frcm their honeymoon, an ex- tended tour through New York state, and are stopping at 2313 Pennsylvania avenue, where they will be pleased to see their friends. A juvenile theatrical performance was greatly enjoyed by a small audience at.the home of Private Secretary Thurber Satur- day afternoon. The title of the play was “The Little Green Door,” written by little Miss Nellie Galt Elliott, and the youthful Farticipants, all of whom were under the ®ge of fourteen, gave a very creditable pre- sentation. hose taking part were Misses Marian Thurber, Priscilla Nicholson, Mar- jan Parker, Ellen Barry, Nellie Galt El- Mott, Helen Munroe Elliott, Minna Ward and Adeline Hammond. The money real- ized by the performance will be devoted to charity. Last evening the congregation and friends of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, corner 6th and Maryland avenue northeast, gave @ large and enthusiastic reception to their pastor, Rev. Th®mas C. Easton, D. D., upon his return to his church and home, after a two months’ vacation spent on a visit to the Pacific coast. - The exercises consisted of vocal and in- strumental music, addresses by representa tives of the congregation, Young People’s Society and Sunday school, and the reading of an original poem of welcome, composed by Mrs. Ireland (a member of the church); to all of which Dr. Easton made a most happy response, assuring the people of his pleasure of again being with them, and the flattering outlook for the future in all the various departments of the church work. There was a pleasant surprise tendered Miss Mamie Martin at her parents’ resi- dence, No. 708 G street southeast, Friday evening last, by Miss Annie Clements and Miss Annie Gray.

Substitut are now cc- cupying these vacancies. which will proba- bly be filled within another week. Mr. Upton’s services will also be greatly missed by the Review, the official organ of the Central High School, of which he was manager. He took the paper in hand last year, and again assumed compleie charge this year, controlling all of the business arrangements exclusively, and most of :he editorial functions. It is feared that the severance of his connection with the paper will disable it considerably. Examinations for admittance to the re- spective studies at the night High School were completed last week, and the classes were thoroughly organized last nighi, so that now those who have not been admit- ted to-some of the classes will stand but littte-show to take up the studies of those classes. Both the shorthand and typewrit- ing classes, numbering 130 and 125, respec- tively, are overcrowded, and those who ap- ply hereafter for these two studies will have to be satisfied to be put on the eligi- Pole Hst, if they pass high enough in their examinations, and wait until vacancies cc- cur. Students in each class lose their mem- bership if they are absent. twice in succes- sion without valid excuses. In the arith- metic classes, which number about seventy- five, students are accommodated with chairs about the room, while this is the same case in the drawing classes, which number in the neighborhood of 100. About 110 persons are studying rhetoric, literature and grammar, the largest class of the three being the last named, with an enrollment of about sixty. History is included in the study of English, but the organization of this class has been deferred for a couple cf weeks, in order to accommodate the exces- sive number of grammar students. There are about seventy-five students taking the beginners’ course in bookkeeping, and six- teen taking the advanced course. The Latin class numbers forty-five, and the algebra and geometry classes about eighteen each. A hundred or more pupils ure studying mechanical and architectural drawing. The average number of students in attend- ance at the sessions is about 300. ———__ Reception to Archbishop Gronas. The Catholle Knights of the District will tender their supreme spiritual director, Archbishop Gross of Oregon, who has been visiting his brother, Father Gross of St. Paul's Church, a reception at Carroll In- stitute Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. It is expected that the supreme president of the knights, Mr. Edward Feeney of Brooklyn, will be present. Other prominent persons will attend and make addresses. ELECTRICAL INVESTIGATION. Mr. Seinyo Mine, a distinguished engineer, whose home is in Tokio, Jupan, within the Past day or two made a careful inspection of the 4% street power plant of the Metro- Politan electric street railway and the mode of construction of the line. Mr. Mine was accompanied by an interpreter, and he ask- ed the officials whom he met many ques- tions regarding the interesting electrical appliances shown him, and it is said that in conversation he stated that he entirely agreed with the opinions expressed in so many quarters that the Metropolitan sys- tem of electrical propuision is the best in the world. Mr. Mine ts an electrical engineer who has been commissioned by his governmend to Investigate the various systems of elec- tric propulsion used in this country, has n in the United States for nearly six months, and has visited all the leading cities where rapid transit lines have been established, gathering data for his report. Mr. Mine was specially instructed tosin- vestigate the action of electrolysis on water and gas mains. On his report depends the extension of the electric trolley system under government supervision in Japan. Reports as to the supposed danger from electrolysis have delayed this work, and at present there is only one road in opera- tion, though three more are under con- struction. Mr. Mine’s reports on the evb- Jects which he has been charged to look into will be very thorough. He expressed the opinion that the danger from electrol- ysis could by proper construction be rée- duced to a minimum. Mr. Mine will also, it is stated, report as to the transmission of power by electricity. It is planned to develop water-powers in Japan and to transmit the energy to points of distrinuiion. He has visited the elec- trical works at Niagara Falls and a num- ber of other important power-iransmission plants. In speaking while here of the trade rela- tions between Japan and the United States, Mr. Mine said that the Japanese admire Americans, and feeling that they are their friends, naturally prefer to trade with them. In the dev elopment of electricity he said Japan recognizes the United States as leading the world. Mr. Mine ex; to sail for home November cin, Diluted Silver Currency.

I am reminded of what really took place in a farmer’s kitchen, in the presence of a friend of mine. A lubberiy young fellow, whom the farmer hired to do his chores, came in for his supper. The farmer's wife set before him a large tity bean soup in it to meet his wants. “Hi said the young fellow, “that ain't enough for my supper. I wani more.” you shall have it,” s the kind womar who took the tea kettle from the stove and poured the boiling water into the bowl, stirring the porridge with a spoon until the quantity was doubled. “There,” sad is dolt, contentedly, “that is something ce, bowi with a quan- his promised di- him and his friends in their coveted clover? w. cate Real Estate A ion.
