Howard University, it Is stated, is this year, through the gererosity of frierds, en- abled to offer five prize scholarships to graduates of the class of 1898 in the col- ored High School of Washington. These scholarships are ‘n the college department. While the university offers free tuition in this department to all, and by a vote of the faculty admits graduates of the High School of Washington to the freshman class and scientific course without exam- fration, still the scholarships will be award- ed_to cnly those who compete for them. The matter was referred to the High School and normal committee of the ninth, tenth and eleventh divisions, and in view of the fact that the time set for examina- tion is May 81, before the next board meet- irg, the committee voted to extend thanks for the offer and to heartily commend it to the young people of the High School. ‘The scholarship will be sufficient to pay the incidental expenses of the freshman year. —————— Fifty Dollars for Assault. Robert T. Anderson, an employe in the government printing office, was today fined $50 by Judge Kimball for assaulting Robert E. McCullough, who is also an attache of the same establishment. As the result of an old feud, it is sald, Anderson knocked McCullough down and kicked him about the body and head severab times. The evidence showed that McCullough had been makirg threats toward Anderson and he was held in his personal bonds to keep the peace. THERE ISA CLASS OF PEOPLE ‘Who are infured by the use of coffee.

President and Mrs. McKinley and Other Notables Present. PRESENTS AND GOWNS Under a canopy of roses, pink orchids and asparagus vines, interlaced with rosettes and loops of pink ribbon, all radiating from a softly-shaded clectric Nght, a marriage ceremony of more than usual interest, even for ‘official Washington, took place today at noon at the residence of the Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger. The bride is their youngest daughter, Frances Aura Alger, and the grocm, Charles Burrall Pike of Chicago, son of Eugene S. Pike, one of that city’s most energetic and influential citizens, is a young man who inherits, to a marked degree, the faculty of making himself felt in the community in which he may dwell. Mr. Pike, after a successful course at Har- vard, returned there to take its legal train- ing, from which he also graduated with honor. At the university he was prominent in athletics, but his tastes later ran largely to th> artistic, which he was equally able to The Bride. indulge to his entire satisfaction, by-long periods of travel in the old world. He had made his sixth trip to Europe before last summer, when he met Miss Alger. ‘Their engagement was announe-d last spring. The bride of tod a very charming youns woman. She was educated in De- troit, where she was born, and finished her studies at Farmington. She is moderately fond of society lif, of which she the best, on two continents, but is espe: ly devoted to outdoor sports, riding and driving well.

In the music room, where the permanent coloring is yellow, the same effect s attained with yellow blossoms and the green vines. The doorways were draped with curtains of asparagus, looped back with orchids and ribbons. The mirrors on the walls of the drawing room were made the basis ofa superb display of orchids, arranged with splendid effect. The mantels opposite were banked with bridesmaid and moss roses. Curtains of asparagus reached down from the canopy under which the bridal party stood during the ceremony. The deep bay window recess at the back was massed vith palms and foliage plants. The door- near by was particularly effective in floral arrangement. ‘Throughout the halls orange blossoms, w its other rooms and the bridesmaid roses and pink orchids made a delicate combination of fragrance and color. Mrs. Alger received the guests, and look- ed unusually handsome in a mourning cos- tume of black silk and jetted chiffon. When the wedding march announced the entrance of the bridal procession the guests separ- ated and an aisle was formed down the center of the drawing room, through which the party passed to the waiting clergyman. The groom and his best man, Mr. William Pike, entered by the east door of the draw- ing room. The bride's party came by a lenger route, through the dining room and music room. At the head were the ushers, Captain Alger, Edward R. Coffin of Chi: cago, George H. Ingalls of Cincinnati and Walter Cary of Milwaukee. The brides- naids were Miss Helen Pitts and Miss Chittenden of Detroit, Miss Miles and Miss Jessie Gary. Miss Henry of Detroit, cousin of the bride, preceded her as maid of honor. The bride came in with her father, and at the entrance to the wedding bower was met by the groom. Rev. John Reid of Detroit, the pastor of the church attended by the family, then performed the cere- mony. The Rev. Wallace Radcliffe was to have ofhciated, but was obliged to leave the city Monday to attend the general as- sembly in New York. President and Mrs. McKinley were near the wedding party during the ceremony, as were the Vice President and Mrs, Ho- bart. The company was a most distin- guished one and reflected in a brilliant sense the official world of the capital. The presence of so many officers of the army and navy in ‘ull dress uniform suggested the momer tous events in which the nation is now most interested. Among the guests were: Ex-Seeretary and Mrs. Sherman, Secretary Day, Secre- tary and Mrs. Gage, Secretary and Mrs. Tit Puce vee mT|?

The bride's graceful figure showed to great advantage in her bridal dress, which was of heavy white satin, made in the style of Marie Antoinette and elaborately trim- med with pearls and point lace. Her tulle yell was intensely becoming, especially when looped back after the ceremony, when it framed bright eyes and rosy cheeks. Crowning ber dark hair was a spray of orange blossoms. The groom’s gift, a large diamond star, was worn with other flashing gems. Her bouque: was a shower bunch of lilies of the valley and ite orchids, tied with long streamers of ide and narrow gauze ribbons. The bridesmaids wore pink taffeta, with ffon fichus in Marie Antoinette style. ys cf pink roses were worn in the hair and large shower bouquets of lilies of the valley and white sweet peas were carried. The maid of honor was gowned in white taffeta and carried pink sweet peas with long sprays of moss rose buds on the pink jbbon streamers. = eThe Srending breakfast was served at small tables set in the dining room, the falls and music room. Each table had a nter piece of flowers. <The vride’s table was decked with white lilacs and roses. When breakfast was an- nounced the President escorted the bride to table. President and Mrs. McKinley sat rear the bride and groom, at whose table were also seated the bridesmaids, ushers and the parents of both bride and groom. A menu of seasonable delicacies was served. White sqtin boxes of wedding cake, marked with the monogram of the couple, were carcied away by the guests. The Marine Band played the wedding marches and throughout the breakfast. The bride’s presents came from all over the country, and especially from New York and Detroit. The ccllection was a note- worthy one, both as regards numbers and vaiue. They were arranged in an_ upper room, and have been shown to her friends lately, and today received general admira- tion. They comprised far more jeweled or- naments of great value than ere ordinarily seen together, and the vaiuable assortment of silver and gold table furnishings would seem to leave no wish ungratified in that direction, - Among Secretary and Mrs. Alger’s gifts to their daughter was a superb tea service of silver, and its fitting accompaniment came from the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene 8.
