The wedding day has not been set, but the event will either occur before the 12th of June or after the middle of July—the arrival of the newly appointed minister to this coun- try, Couat Cassini, having all to do with the selection of the first date. Count Cassini is i now in Paris, and may sail the coming Sat- urday. Mr. de Wollant when relieved of the cares of the legation has been granted a sum- mer’s vacation, which he expects to spend with his bride at his home in northern Russia. The 12th of June is the beginning of the Lenten season in the Russian church, a period of forty days’ fast, dur- ing which no weddings or other festivities are permitted, consequently the wedding day for Miss Tisdel and Mr. de Wollant may not be possible until after tae middle of July. The arrangements for the cere- mony are therefore yet undecided upon, save that it will necessarily be conducted by a Russian priest, either in New York or in this city, which the friends of the couple would naturally prefer. Miss Tisdel is one of the most charming and interesting young ladies prominent in diplomatic society the past two. or three years. She has had a Mberal education, =secured the York city DOLLAR This Sal TOM both in this country and abroad, supple- mented by a dramatic and vocal training under the best French teachers.

A wedding that was caused as well as ex- pedited by the war occurred yesterday at the residence of Mrs. Charles Parker, moth- er of the bride, No. 313 East Capitol street. It was that of Ensign Charles W Tuttle of the navy and Miss Eaton Green, a member of the Corcoran art class and a clever water-color artist. Mr. Tuttle is the son of President Tuttle of the North American Telegraph Company and connected with the board of trade in Chi- cago. He was a member of the Illinois naval reserves, a graduate of the Oxford, Md., Naval School and has made several voyages on the Pacific ocean, including one to Manila. With this experience Mr. Tuttie came here some ten days ago and took the examiination for ensign in the navy. While awaiting the result of the examination he called on Miss Green and as a consequence their engagement, broken some two years ago, was renewed. With the notification of the Navy Department that he had success- fully passed the examination Mr. Tuttle re- ceived. his commission as ensign and im- mediate orders for duty on the refrigerator ship Celtic.
