Miss Mary Berri Chapman, the only daughter of the late Charles Chapman and of Mrs. Etta 8. Chapman of the patent of- fice, was married to United States Senator Henry Clay Hansbrough of North Dakota yesterday afternoon at the Burlington, No. 10 West 30th street, New York city, where the bride and her mother have lived for several weeks. It was a quiet wedding, about twenty-five persons being present to witness the ceremony and to attend the informal reception which followed it. The drawing room, in which the Rev. Lester Bradner, jr., the assistant minister at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascen- sion, 5th avenue and 10th street,- performed the marriage ceremony, was _ effectively decorated with pink roses, white azaleas, maider.-hair fern and palms. There were no attendants for the bride, who was given away by her mother. The bridal gown was of corn-colored silk, in which there was a brocaded stripe trimmed with ruch- irgs of tulle. Her hat was of white lex- horn, adorned with plumes. Mrs. Chap- man’s gown was of white satin, veiled with white and gray grenadine. Her small bonnet was of gray and white passemen- terie. The ceremony was followed by an informal reception and luncheon. Some of the guests were Senator John P. Jones of Nevada, Dr. Harris, United States com- missioner ox education, and Mrs. Harris of Washington, Mr. and Mrs. E. Clarence Stedman, Congressman Lemuel E. Quigg, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Mr.. and Mrs. Richgrd Watson Gilder and Clinton Sweet. Senator and Mrs. Hansbrough, who intend to go to North Dakota in a few weeks, will pass some time visiting the near-by resorts. After November i they will be at home at No. 2032 Florida avenue, this city. Mrs. Hansbrough, the senator’s mother, who is in her eighty-fourth year, and lives in Oregon with a son and daugh- eek was unable to take the long journey to New York. Mrs. Hansbrough has some reputation as a writer of verse and prose. Senator Hansbrough, who met his bride less than two months ago, was the first member of the House of Representatives from North Dakota after it had been ad- mitted into the Union. He was the first senator from that state elected to serve the six-year term. His term will expire in 1903. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, wife of the English secretary for the colonies, and daughter of W. C. Endicott, Mr. Cleve- land’s first Secretary of War, as a special evidence of the favor in which Queen Vic- teria holds her, has received from her majesty the gold instead of the silver jubi- lee medal. The gold medal was conferred, as a rule, only on royal personages. A pretty wedding was that which cc- curred last night at 8:30, when Miss Annie Myers Bell, daughter of Emma J. and the late Robert Bell, jr., of Alexandria, Va., and Dr. Albert Lynch Lawrence, were united at the residence of the bride, 1918 I street, the Rev. Alexander Bielaski of the Union Chapel M. E. Church, 20th street, officiating. The bride was very becomingly dressed in cream organdie over satin, and carried bride roses. The maid of honor, Miss Ruby C. Braulik, wore pink organdie over silk and carried La France r The best man was Mr. John D. O'Connor. The home of the bride was very prettily decorated with pink and white hydrangeas and a:profusion of palms. The invitations were confined almost exclusively to rela- tives of the bride and groom. Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence will be at home Thursdays after September 1, at 1307 14th street. Among those present at the wedding wer- Dr. A. P. Fardon, Mrs. Emma J. Bell, Miss E. R.

About 1oon he took charge of the fcurth precinct, and at 1 o'clock roil call he induiged in a little talk to the men be- fore they went out on duty. He told the officers that they would have te work to- Bether, if they expected or hoped to ac- complish the results desired, and he roped they would do this for him as they had for his pr. r. He counseled them to bear in mind that the police force w: created for the purpose of protecting t lives and property of citizens, and t tan who does this best is the best police- man. The prevention of crime, the lieutenant told the officers, is their first duty, and next is the detection of violators of law. In every instance, he said, he wanted his officers to prevent crime when they found it possible to do so. Never wait to make an arrest until the law has been violated if the prevention of crime can be accom- plished by earlier action. Many of the cfficers in the fourth pre- cinct have served under Lieut. Hollin- “berger before, and they know just what he expects of them. Now Private Vernon. Lieut. Vernon, who surrendered his pre- cinct, is now a second-class private and is on duty in Capt.
