Bryan of this city, was among the most admired of the season. Palms and white lilacs decked the church. The bride was most graceful and girlish in a superb gown of rich white satin, with trimmings of point lace anf tulle veil fastened with a few orange blossoms. Miss Rita Burgess of New York was maid of honor, and wore a dainty white muslin frock, with green sash and stock and a becoming white picture hat laden with white plumes. The bridesmaids, Miss Katherine Shepard of Newburyport and Miss Augusta C.

Mrs. Taft, the bride’s mother, wore gray crepe, with trimmings of black and pink, and a small pink bonnet. Mrs. Bryan was hand- somely attired in mauve.

The silver anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Wortnington was the eceasion Friday last of a gathering of friends at their home in Georgetown to celebrate the event. Mr. Barrow recited as appropriate to the occasion “That Old Sweetheart of Mine,” by Whitcomb Riley. Among those present were Rev. J. Haven Richards, Rev. Father McTammany, Mrs. S. M. B. Piatt, Miss Edith Mohun, Miss Louise Power, Miss Virginia Peacock, Miss Clare Piatt, Messrs. Louis Mohun, Guy Piatt, Neil Power, Barrow and John J. Piatt. Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee and her Gaughter Klotho have been keeping house in Paris for some time past. Mrs. McGee has received a hcst of attentions and in- vitations from tke leaders of intellectual society in Paris, where ler father and hus- bend are both so well known. Prof. New- comb is a foreign associate of the Institute of France, which is so rare an honor that Benjamin Franklin is the only other Amer- ican on whom it has been conferred. Mrs. McGee will return home after attending the jutilee festivities in London. At New London, Conn., some months ago, the fine home cf Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Tyler, so well known in this city, was burned down. The work of searching for valua- bles was started about a week ago, and Friday the searchers were successful in fir-ding a silver horseshoe, in which there were eight diamonds. Another day two pieces of jewelry were found with dia- monds and other valuable stones set in the gold work. The work is progressing in a systematic manner. First the ashes are put into a sieve and shaken. The sieve is too fine to allow anything of value to go through. A second coarser sieve is brougat to use, and the finer material goes through this, but is washed so that nothing can escape the searchers. What remains of the second sifting is also washed and carefully examined. The searchers are now looking for a pair of diamond earrings valued at $10,000, and have hopes of recovering them. Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris and family have closed their house on Massachusetts avenue and are at the Arlington until their departure for the north. They will sum- mer at Sorrento, Me. name.

Verbrycke presided, and the Stated clerk, Rev. Dr. Bittinger, was at his desk. A committee, consisting of the mod- erator, the stated clerk and the perma- nent clerk, Rev. C. A. Smith, was ap- pointed to arrange for the observance by the Presbyterian churches of the District of the 250th anniversary of the Westmin- ster confession. Mr. John C. Lewis was received as a student under the charge of the presby- tery. The action of Congress, to the effect that no money appropriated for charitable — Poses in the District shall be paid to a church or religious denomination, or to any institution or society which is under sec- tarian or ecclesiastical control, was in- dorsed by a resolution introduced by Rev. Dr. Radcliffe. A report was submitted by the commis- sioners who represented the presbytery at pe recent meeting of the general assem- bly.

There is a phenomenon near the north- east corner of the White House, which has attracted the attention of several peo- ple, rctably the policemen who do duty on the grounds. It is a black elm: tree, and stands on the side of the asphalted side- walk. which leads from fne northeast gate to the White House. During the warm, clear days of the past few weeks it has teen noticed that the pavement under the tree was wet, as if it had been sprink!ed. Investigation revealed that the water or whatever kind of fluid it is comes frem the tree. It always falls in the dryest: of Weather, and: keeps the pavement well sprinkled. Various reascns have been given for the pkenomenon, but so far none of a scien- tific nature. The humorists say that the tree is weeping in sympathy with the dis- appointed office seekers, who stop under iis sheltering boughs and look back at a ‘wreck of ambitious hopes and blighted Prospects. The expectation is that the tree will surpass itself this week, if It is really of the sympathetic kind. ‘The de- parture of the President for Nashville will leave the office seekers a long stretch of waiting and weeping. —_—-—_—_ Has No Home. Rose Johnson, colored, was charged to- day in the Police Court with vagrancy, a policeman informing Judge Mills that her chief occupation is roaming about the streets. She has no home and no visible means of support, it was added. “My right hand is paralyzed,” said Rose, who by any other name would probably have suffered from the same affliction. “I can't do any work, and I haven't parents or any one to care for me. I would like to have a home somewhere.” remarked the court. “Step back, you get one month, right through the door,” was the ambiguous and, at the same time, clear order of a bailiff. Rose stepped.
