Exposition hall was the scene of the emony. An audience of nearly 1,200 peo- p witnessed it. Captain Louis Sherman ake of Hastings, o six-foot soul er, was the Captain Stella yers, the flower of the lowa regiment, sponded to the words that made her Mrs, ake. Major French tied the knot. It was a wedding remarkable for its sim- lelty—no cake, no cards, no presents, ‘oral horgeshoes and twisted smilax, puff leeves und the wedding march were con- bicuously absent. Yet, if smiling taces frror happy hearts, the newly wedded }pla were rich indeed. ust before the ceremony all the delegates the interstate war congress, about 200 in jimber, paraded the strects. It was an im- psing pageant. Some of the warriors were ounted. The majority, however walked, cluding the groom, who carricd a flag hat fluttered almost as much as his heart. The Wedding March, "Joo the Turk” led the parade mounted on ncing sorrel horse. Joe was gorgeously ired in full Oriental costume, from fez to bot. The infantry marched with regimen- 1 stride to the soul inspiring tunes of two nds, the rattle of tambourines and vocal iriations from 200 throats. The training arrison was in line. In the center of the ardde, seated in a carringe drawn by fvo white horses, sat the bride, accompanied i “rench and Mrs, Adjutant Major F'reneh rode in the rear of e carriagé. A bridal escort of eight alvation fmaidens attired in immaculate glle, from head to foot, marched at the iCes of thecarriage. Kven the ordinarily rosaic conchman ~seemed to realize the oetry of his position and the necessity of aring a costume that would harmonize th the surroundings—he wore a white inen duster over his every day suit. Crowds of people lined the sidewalks and fheered the epithalamic parade. Men who ad been prone to ridicule the Salvationists n the past watched them with serious and pespectful attention. A man wit a ‘hallelujah” jag, at the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets, attemoted to march dlongside the bridal escort, but he was romptly pulled back into the throng by a turdy railroad man and emphatically ad- vised to keep quiet. The parade disbanded at Exposition hall and the participants entered amid an en- thusiastic welcome from a large audience that'had already assembled. The delegates o the congress took their soats on tho plat- form. Suddenly they sprang to their feet and “fired a volley.” “The band played an enlivening tune. " Amid_the deep-mouthed sreeung of the big bass drum and vociferous focalisms from the Salvationists the bridal rty came down the aisle and mounted the 2:;;0. The audience applauded. 3 Preludo of Prayer and Praise. Captain Beatty and Ensign McAbee led in piayer amid the fervent cjaculations of the delegates, The Jones sisters, two colored aivationists of acceptable vocal ability, ¥hen favored the audience with a duet, hich won them several encores, Major French followed with an address. [He poured hot shot into ulu.:fnh‘s, In con- gsion he referred to the wedding about to sFlnco and explainea that Salvationist marriages had a spiritual meaning, He be- lieved that whatever was done would be done to the glory of God. The major then read from the red ritual book of the Salva- tionist creed the conditions upon which he would marry the new candidates for matri- onial honors. The marriage was not trictly for love, It was to be embellished ith devotion to the Salvationist cause. @ home of the new oride and groom was ot mecessarily compelled to have a fern- eafed motto of *welcome” over the door for alvationist oficers, It was understood hat.the latchstring would always be out, Jheir home was always to be open for the sore ‘;llgrimu of the red and blue, pon these conditions and with assurances hat they would be devoted to the cause the de and bridegroom advanced to the front the stage. The bride was suffering from severe cold, but the groom’s voice was in shape; in fact, the echoes of his re- ponses, it is said, reververated along the nsfluvial blufts, Major French made veral ineffectual offorts to get the groom ttled. But the tall staff curmhl from astings had his nerve with him, and it Ied with him right through tho trying nd tying time. The brido, however, was 0b 80 in7ulnerable and her Grecian features W@re carmined with a series of blushes. he groom’s toilet was Jeffersonian in its fmplicity, He wore a smile aud everyday uniform of the Salvation army soldier. A h of red, white and blue buntiug drooped m‘ll\!llly across his shoulder and was tied in (@ pscyhe knot at his side. He was accom- nied by his best man, Captain Carter, Her Wedding Oress. «'The bride was also simply attired in full rm with the regulation bonnet.
