THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1895. BULL-FIGHTS 0. G0, Treasury Officials Say There Can Be No Objection. IMPORTATION IS PROPER. It Remains for Georgia to Reg- ulate the Atlanta Ex~ position. COME WITHIN SPANISH SPORTS. So the Toreadors and the Animals May Be Brought In to Do Battle. WASHINGTON, D. C., july 25.—The Treasury Department has declined to en- tertain the protest made by the vi i dent of the Humane Society aga admission into this country of bulls and toreadors from Mexico to form a bull- fighting exhibition at the Atlanta Exposi- tion. The protest claimed that the bulls should be excluded on the ground that they were immeral instruments and the toreadors on the ground that their admis- sion would violate the labor law. Assist- ant Secretary Hamlin in reply cites sec- tion 10 of the act of August 28, 1894, pro- hibiting the importation of any obscene book, pamphlet, drawing, painting, instru- ment or other article of an immoral nature. The letter then proceeded: “1 have to inform you that the depart- ment is unable to perceive that the im- portation of bulls for the purpose indi- cated comes within the letter or the spirit of the prohibition contained in the pro- vision of the law quoted, and therefore the department declines t0 issue the de- sired instructions. If, as stated, the exhi- bition of bull-fighters is prohibited by the laws of Georgia, 1t is presumed that the authorities of that State will prevent it, but the subject does not appear to come within the jurisdiction of the department.” Commissioner of Immigration Stump, in his letter, recites the joint resolution passed by Congress January 21, 1895, pro- viding for the production on the exposi- tion grounds at Atlanta of scenes illustra- tive of the arts, amusements, entertain- ments, etc.. of foreign countries, and the admission of aliens by express permission of the Secretary of ths Treasury for this purpose. He adds: “It therefore becomes the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to grant express permission to each applicant holding con- cessions and privileges from said exposi- tion, it such persons come within the terms of the joint resolntion. Itis well known that bull-fighting affords one of the chief amusements in Spanish and Mexican countries, and, as it appears that the au- thorities of the exp on have eniered into a contract with one J. P. Porteous to bring into the United States certain bull- \ fighters to give exhibitions as provided by the joint resolution, this department can take no steps to exclade them.” SUG BNTY CLAS, Refusal of the Treasury to Pay Them Will Cause Distress. Loulsiana Senators Depart for Gray Gables to Plead With the President. TIINGTON, D. C., july Sena- hard and Caffrey of Louisiana to-night for Gray Gables to con- sult with President Cleveland about the sugar bounty claims which have been held up by Comptroller Bowler. Before starting for .Gray Gables Senator id that the refusal to pay these uld mean the financial ruin of s. The sugar-growers were ad- ed money by their bankers and, in pothecated every dollar that was d by the Government. While they produce only one thing—sugar—they are large buyers of many things, and so they are in debt to Kentucky mule-raisers, St. Louis provision-dealers and to machinery men in New York, Pennsylvania and oth- er States. Now these outside people will be the chief sufferers if this bounty is not paid. “This comes at a very inopportune time and falls on our people with the force of an unexpected blow. Nobody dreamed that after the legislation was secured there would be any trouble about getting the money from the treasury. It mustas well cause trouble in other quarters. The pay- ment for fast mail service, the subsidies to steamships, the appropriation for the At- lanta Exposition, and a dozen other cases that might be enumerated, all seem to be analagous to this bounty act, and if pay- ment of the one is refused why not of all the rest?” y —_— Of Interest o the Coast.

Rapia Voyage of the Cruiser Across the Atlantic. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 25.—The United States crmser New York arrived from Gravesend, Eng., this morning, after an unusually quick voyage for a naval vessel. She weighed anchor at 4 A. M. on the 15th and she was reported at Fire Isl- and at 7:40 this morning. Allowing for difference in time, therefore, she made the run in ten days. But from Scilly she was only eight and a half days. The cruiser had unusually bad weather during the trip. At the worst of the blow, however, one of the officers said that she plowed through head seas at a gait of 13 knots. The expe- rience showed her to be an unusualy weatherly boat. The New York left here May 15, and ar- rived ten days later. She went from there to Copenhagen, whence with the San Fran- cisco, flagship of the European station, under Admiral Kirkland,the Columbia and gunboat Marbiehead, she proceeded to Kiel to participate in the fetes attending the opening of the canal. — LILLIAN LOW'S DEATH. Three Persons Arrvested in Connection With It. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 25.—Three persons, two men and a woman, were taken before Coroner O’Meager this morn- ing on suspicion of having been concerned in some way in the death of Lillian Low, the daughter of James Low Jr., who shot herself in Washington Heights on Tues- day morning. There is really little or no evidence against these persons, as the girl clearly tock her own life, but the circum- stances surrounding her life for the past four months were so strange that the police deemed it advisable to take into custody Miss A. K. Hanson, a boarding- house ~keeper at 103 West Thirty-fifth street; Henry T.Champner, her lodger; and Dr. Thomas J. Biggs of 34 West Thirty-second street. Dr. Biggs is the “Tommie” who wrote to the yannfi man from Glendale, and signed himself “Big Brother” of the dead girl, whom he ad- dressed as “My Baby Cuckoo.” W EXPLOSIN OF 65 Terrible Burns Received by a Woman Servant Upon En- tering a Cellar. She Would Have Perished Had She Not Been Quickly Rescued. N, Y., July 25.—A terrific n startled the people living in the neighborhood of South Park avenue at an early hour this morning. They rushed from their houses to see flames bursting from the building occupied by W. J. Mc- Cormick as a saloon and residence. The firemen were soon on hand, but before they were able to subdue the flames the house had been almost altogether de- stroyed. Louise Mies, a servant, was taken from the house in a badly injured condition, and the doctors say that she will die. She got up this morning at the usnal time and began the preparation of breakfast, the family still being in bed. During her work she had occasion to go to the cellar, There is very little light in the cellar, so when she reached the foot of the stairs she struck a match and opened the door to go in. But as she opened the door a terrific explosion occurred that shook the whole neighborhood, badly wrecked the house and blew the woman about fifteen feet, where she fell uncon- scious, badly injured. Almost instantly flames burst forth and she would have been burned to death had not McCormick, who had been hurled from bed by the explosion, rushed down- stairs and found the woman lying near the cellar door. He picked her up and suc- ceeded in carrying her to a place of safety,. She was terribly burned about the face and body and is supposed to have sustained serious internal injuries as well. The explosion was undoubtedly due to natural gas which had been escaping in the cellar all night, and was ignited by the match held in the woman's hand. LI R SWAGGER ON THE GALLOWSJ William Taylor Was Cheerful While Be- ing Executed. COLUMBTUS, Omuro, July 26.—William Taylor, the condemned murderer, was ex- ecuted in the State prison here shortly after 12 A. M. He showed remarkable nerye, acting upon the gallows in the most frivo- lous manner. With a smile he greeted those in the apartment whom he knew and stepped about with a bowery swagger. Be- fore the cap was drawn he was asked if he had anything to say, but his only reply was, “Good-by, Mr. Bowman (a gunard); good-by, Warden.” The crime for which Taylor washung was the murder of Isaac Yoakum, one of the wealthiest farmers in this county. The murder was committed on December 20, 1894. Taylor, who had been employed by Yoakum, disappeared suddenly after the murder and he was suspected. A detective tracked him and upon arrest he confessed that he was present at the murder, but that the blow was struck by a comrade, Jacob Howells.

The waiting-room was fill with men, women and children, two of whom were killed. Several others were injured,’ HORR CALLED DOWN, Harvey Said Arguments Were Lacking in Facts. COST OF MINING SILVER. Important Conditions Upon Which the Debaters Disagreed. FIGURES QUOTED WITH EFFECT. So Far the Champlon of Silver Would Seem to Be Winning the Contest. [Copyright, 1895, by Azel F. Hatch.] CHICAGO, Iy, July 25.—At the oven- ing of the Horr-Harvey silver debate to- day it was announced that but two more sessions would be held and that for this reason the daily bouts would be somewhat lengthened in order to admit of the de- livery of the number of words originally agreed upon. The debate to-day was marked by a more than usually sharp encounter between the two contestants. Mr. Horr called his opponent’s attention to a statement which he had made in Lis criticisms upon Sena‘or Morgan, wherein he stated that the silver dollars of 41214 grains were largely coined previous to the demonetization of silver in 1873 and after the passing of the law of 1853, making sub- sidiary coinage of less value than its face. Therefore he inferred that Sen- ator Morgan was mistaken in stating that none of the 412!4-grain dollars had been coined from silver mined in this country. Mr. Harvey had said that the old dollars of 41214 grains were coined for the people of Nevada and California, notwithstand- ing that at that time the bullion was worth more uncoined than coined. Mr. Horr then denied that these dollars were coined from silver mined in this country and sent to the mint for that purpose. Congress had provided that foreign coin should be received by the Government at a certain fixed value, and, further, that such coins should not be again sent into circulation, but should be recoined at the mint. The report of the Director of the Mint showed that over $5,000,000 in silver bad thus accumulated, having been found in the gold during the process of assaying it. At this point Harvey challenzed Horr's statement, saying that he had not brought his authorities with him, and, therefore, his arguments were entitled to no standing in the debate. He then handed Mr. Horr a statement of the Director of the Mint, which, he said, reported that during the year 1870 412,462 silver dollars had been coined at Carson City. Mr. Harvey again called his opponent to task for not con- fining his remarks to the order of the debate originally agreed upon, and said that he would not be “diverted from this order. He entered upon a discussion of primary and credit money, saying that an overissue of credit money caused a drain upon the primary money for redemption purposes. An example of this had just been witnessed in this country in the issue of bonds by the present administration for the purpose of maintaining the gold re- serve. Mr. Harvey said he had received a letter within the last few days from a large New York manufacturer in which the writer stated that all the money the bank sent him to pay off bis men was in silver cer- tificates. The run on the United States Treasury must continue till the credit money outistanding, estimated at $1,000,- 000,000, was reduced to the quantity of gold in the country, which was variously esti- mated at from $400,000,000 to $600,000,000, or the stock of primary money was in- creased. To bring order out of confusion, the first necessary step was to build up the stock of primary money, All credit money rested on primary money, and if the gold standard was adhered to, the people must look to gold alone to sustain its credit. Each Government gold loan was a step towards National bankruptcy, temporarily restoring confidence,but finally resulting in an increased demand for gold. To cor- rect this system the remonetization of sil- ver was necessary. Every moment’s delay endangered the safety of the Republic. Mr. Horr took his opponent to task for making a mistake in his figures regarding the amount of silver dollars coined in 1870 at the Carson City mint, and asserted that the mint reports the silver champion had quoted sustained Mr. Horr’s proposition that not any of the silver produced in this country and sold by asiiver-owner or taken to the mint for coinage was embraced in that money which Mr. Harvey said was coined after 1853. The mint report showed that from 1870 to 1874 in the mint of Carson City there were only coined 19,288 of the old silver dollars. The report showed they were coined from the silver accumulated in assaying the gold taken to that mint. Mr. Horr added: “Up to this moment Mr. Harvey has not said one word upon the real question in debate. He spent hours to prove that the law of 1873 was conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. I gave a short, succinet history of the bill and the steps taken in its passage. He has not success- fully controverted a single statement of mine. He has nowhere proven any act of bribery or the influence of money ina single step taken during the passage of the bill through Congress. He or no one else ever will, because there was none. He has now printed long tables to prove that when the entire world, except England, was attempting to control the price of sil- ver by legislation they succeeded in keeping the legal price within five cents on the dollar of the market or commercial price, and that generally the variation between the market and the legal price was only about two points. I have virtually shown—and he virtually admits, at least he has nowhere denied it—that a variation of one-half of one point has thus far been safficient to drive the dearer metal from every country in the world. My proposition is that gold has remained nearly stationary in price since 1873, and that silver has fallen in price in accordance with the great law of supply and demand, and that the cheap- ened processes of production, with the in- crease of the supply, has driven down the price of silver.” e “I want to say to Mr, Horr,” said Har- vey, “‘while disputing all that he has said, the silver derived from gold /in refining gold at the mints was not coined into dol- lars, but was coined into fractional silver. When he says that the Government was willing to lose that two or three per cent premium he says that the Governmsnt was willing to do something that an individual was not. 8o it needs $4,800,000,000 to meet the normal demand for money. It needs it just as it needs a normal supply of wheat. For each dollar 1n existence we are paying the banks interest on two dollars. This is the way the banks work the volume of - money in existence to the normal volume. With $41.600,- 000,000 in existence, the people are using it and paying interest on $3,300,000,000 adci- tional. This interest varies from 5 to 12 per cent. The banks are interested in hold- ing down the volume of money and supply- ing the remainder needed with the credit system. They take the quantity of money in existence and stretch it like a piece of rubber and they sometimes let loose of their end. It is used to mold public opinion in the interest. It can be truth- fully said that all the money in circulation represents borrowed money. It is human nature, known of all men, that most debtors are moral cowards. Money is the lash they are afraid of and the money- lenders hold the whip-handle.” ““The whole question of whether banks are a curse to the world,” said Horr, “‘and as to the credit of the country being the country’s livelihood, will come later in this debate when I reach it in the regularorder. It will be presented to Mr. Harvey’s per- fect satisfaction. Indeed, I doubt whether he will not leave the room in perfect dis- gust with himself for having entered this debate.. Whenever silver mining costs $2 an ounce men who are in it paying their expenses and can only sell it for 60 cents will quit that business the world over. The mines that are mining silver at less than 60 cents will keep right on in the business. Now, Mr. Harvey, the fact that these mines have been running since 1879, ac- cording to your own statement, when the full effects of demonetization took place, with silver going down and down, if the production is increased from year to year, that of itself proves and no man can gainsay it, that they are still making money at the price or they would not stay in that business. They could not. Hence, this effort of Mr. Harvey is to get $1 29 out of the entire people of the United States for an article that costs the men who are producing it less than 60 cents an ounce. Was there ever such class legisla- tion attempted in any country, to compel the people to pay for a thing three times as much as it costs to produceit? The men who own mines and those who owe sums of money in excess of the money due them may be benefited by this cheap money scheme, but the rest of the people will receive nothing but injury.” “What Mr. Horr has said about the cost of producing silver he could have said with a great deal more force about the cost of produc- ing gold,” said Harvey. ‘‘Gold, dollar for dollar, costs a great deal less than silver to mine. Over 50 per cent of all the silver produced comes from prospects where men are trying to make mines—mines that are not paying in either gold or silver or both —and they are shipping that to get back what they can. There are only thret or four silver mines lefit in the United States that are paying, and they are running pre- cariously. Why? Because all mines are uneven and uncertain and may be lost in a week from now. The shylocks of old loaned their own money. The shylocks of to-day have a system by which they loan other people’s money. They are defend- ing that system.”” At Mr. Horr's request the debate was ad- journed to Saturday DEATH OF CHIEF BUNN. Was the Last Full - Blooded Representative of the Shinnecocks. Quite a Romance Connected With the Passing of the Long Island Tribe. SOUTHAMPTON, L. L, July 25.—James Bunn, chief of the Shinnecock Indians, died yesterday morning on the reserva- tion among the S8hiniecock hills with his face toward the setting sun. He was prob- ably the only full-blooded representative of his tribe. With his death the noble race of Shinnecock Indians ends. There are a number of supposed red men living on the reservation, but they are for the most part half-breeds and cannot lay claim to being real wild men. The old chief was about 85 years of age. Until a few years ago he was tall and straight, but disease laid low his stalwart frame. Bunu lost his vigor, and of late had been content to counsel the young men of the tribe, who thought they wereas good as the pale- faced people who were swinging golf clubs over the land which the youngsters thought rightfully belonged to them. Of late, when his straight back had be- come crooked and his limbs would hardly bear his weakened frame, he used to like to sit and see the white man play golf among the hills. He would sit for hours at a time and watch the small white ball being batted about the green sward. Once in a while the old warrior would straighten himself up and gaze about at the white man’s sport and shake his head. He longed for the pony races of his fathers, The old man was a tvpical Indian. His hair was long and densely black. It was straight and hung about his head in matted folds. His face was broad and his fore- head high, He had a long nose, which protruded from his face aggressively. His mouth was like a slit in a piece of beef. It was straight and stretched almost from ear to ear. Once the old man was prevailed upon to go to Washington to see the “Big Father”” there and try to purchase back the Shinne- cock hills, which he had hunted over while aboy. A chief named Big David went with him, This latter chiet had stirred up the trouble among the young bucks. When he got the old chiefaway from his hills he victimized him out of all his money and left him stranded in Washington. "The old man’s fare was paid back to Shinnecock by some of the big white chiefs in Washington. Bunn returned to his home satisfied that there was no use to try to barter with the whites. He said he had seen his native hills pass into their control and had seen the palefaced people fill rivers with fish which he and the members of his tribe had fished out long ago. He marveled at this, but never trie§ to find out how it was done. There are lamentations among the tribe. The big chief was beloved by his men and women. Although some of the Indians have been Christianized, most of them are in & pagan state. The traditions of the old tribe still cling to them now, and they think something more dreadful is still to happen. Chief Bunn will, in all proba- bility, be buried in true Indian fashion. He had never disregarded the habits of his forefathers. Several members of the tribe bear his name. One of them isa trustee of the tribe now. He_is educated and a bright young man. With the death of the ancient warrior the question as to who will succeed him and be chief will bother the Indians. While the tribe is amenable to the white man’s law, they always take home their own differences by appealing to the chief. Some wise brave will have to take the old man’s place. —_— Walter Allen Very Ill.

BETRAYED BY A LETTER. There Would Seem to Be No End to the Number of Women He Killed. MYSTERY OF A GIRL'S DEATH. The Last Charge Is That the In- surance Swindler Killed Miss Cigrand. CHICAGO, ILL., July 25.—Not so sensa- tional a find as that of yesterday was mada by the men digging in the basement of the Holmes building to-day, but it was one which may go further toward securing the conviction of the murderer. One of the workmen found in a pile of rubbish a let- ter signed “H. H. Howard” and dated May , 1895. The signature is one of the many aliases used by Holmes, and one of the commonest of the lot. The letter is in his well-known handwriting, and is addressed to an occupant of the building, to whom the detectives who took possession of the letter before the reporters eould get hold of it refusea o state. It is believed, how- ever, that the letter is to C. E. Davis, the jeweler, who occupies the building with Druggist Robinson. The letter inquires particularly as to the doings of Janitor Quinlan, and asks where he nowis. It then goes on ina jocular manner to discuss the fate of the Williams girls, and asks of the recipient whether he has seen them or their ghosts about the building. Special inquiry is made as to the partitions in the house, and in connec- tion the writer expresses the belief that he will not have to stay in jail much longer. It was at first reported that two letters had been found, but Detective Norton, who has chargeof the material found in the cellar, denies that this is so. He declares that the two supposed letters were only parts of the same letter. A new accusation now rests against Holmes’ character and that is that he made away with a Miss Cigrand, with whom he lived in the house at Sixty-third and Wallace streets just before he h:d the Williams girl there. The neighbors remembered but little of the girl, not even her first name. She was a stately looking blonde, about 25 years old and lived with Holmes something less than six months. ‘When she went away Holmes told Jeweler Davis, as the latter claims, that he had succeeded in “marrying her off.” It will be remembered that this is very much like what he told concerning the disappearance of Mrs. Conner. He said at that time that he had married her off in Califorma. Miss Cigrand came to Chicago from Indi- ana. She associated but little with the neighbord, and even the other inmates of the building were in complete ignocance concerning her habits. Holmes was not often seen with her and on these occasions he kept aloof from his acquaintances and introduced her to no one. Mrs, Doyle of 767 Third street knows more about this girlait is believed, than anybody else, but the Central station officers will not permit her to talk about the case. The building in which Holmes’ Chicago crimes were probably concerted and ac- complished will probably not be pulled down. P. R. Chandler, a mortgage broker who holds a lien on it for $12,000 advanced to Holmes with which to build it, was told by the building inspector that all that was necessary was to improve the upper por- tion. This will be done at once. An order of foreclosure has already been secured from the court, and to-morrow or next day an order will be asked for allowing the improvements to be put on. The property is now worth $40,000. Besides the princi- pal there is $4000 back interest and taxes due on it. A few more bones were found to-day in the same hole from which those were taken yesterday. The force of men was doubled to-day and the work is progress- ing much faster. The belief is gaining ground that Holmes' wife, who lives at the suburb of Wilmette, knows much more about the crimes of her husband than she cares to tell. Itis probable that she will be put in the sweatbox. Mrs. Quinlan and Mrs. Doyle, who were examined to-day, are still under police re- straint, as are Quinlan and Owens, though none of them are actually under arrest. To the police to-day Mrs. W. L. Doyie said that an aunt of hers owned the honse in Toronto where the two Piefzel children were found dead. Mrs. Doyle was shown a picture of the Pietzel children and of the excavations in the | basement of the Holmes castle, of which she said, “Those are much better pictures than were in the Toronto papers of the house and of the children.” Asked how she knew the pictures were better she said, *‘I had a paper sent to me from Toronto, and the pictures in it were horrible.” 5 Mrs. Doyle was asked how the paper came to be sent to her and what interest she had in the case. She replied: “Well, you see, it’s funny, but my aunt owns the house that Holmes lived in in Toronto. She rented it to him.” _ “Do you mean the house where the bodies of the two Pietzel children were found ?”” “Yes,” she replied. Mrs. Doyle was asked if she knew Pietzel, to which she hesitatingly replied she had met him, but she refused to say anything further about her acquaintance with the man that Holmes 1s supposed to have murdered. Oneof the most important developments in the case during the day was the alleged connection established between Holmes and an insurance solicitor, T. J. Downey, an alleged doctor, who opeérated in the in- surance business in Englewood and who is -said to be the man who assisted Holmes in placing insurance on his victims and upon the lives of persons insured in his favor. Downey is wanted by more than one local insurance company, and it is believed that if the police succeed in getting hold of him he will be able to tell an interesting story of the operations of Holmes with the in- surance companies. In fact, there are those who believe he was an accomplice of the Englewood swin- dler and worked for a division of the spolls received from the insurance com- panies. It was Downey who made the application for the insurance on the life of Pat Quinlan, and succeeded in getting his risk placed with the North American Ac- cident Association. Downey has worked for every life insurance agency in this | wottie. city. He was dropped from the North- western for an alleged discrepancy in his accounts. Startling disclosures were made to-night to the Chief of Police and his subordinate officers engaged in the Holmes investiga- tion by Patrick Quinlan, the trusted friend and former employe of the alleged whole- sale murderer. He gave information which convinced the police that Holmes made way with Miss Kitty Kelly, who was em- ployed by him as a clerk at the drugstore in Englewood. Quinlan gave the police a victure which he said was that of the miss- ing girl. He will be examined again to- morrow. At midnight Chief Badenoch said the case was growing more horrible and mysterious every hour, and he was sure Holmes had committed more murders than the world had yet been apprised of. Z0 BE TRIED AT TORONTO. Ontario Will First Prosecute Holmes for Diurder. TORONTO, Oxrt.,, July 25.—In accord- ance with the finding of the Coroner’s jury charging H. H. Holmes with the murder of the Pietzel children, Attorney Dewart laid the verdict and warrant before the Attorney-General’s Department to-day, and proceedings for the extradition of Holmes will be at once entered upon. Every effort will be made to have Holmes tried in this city. The evidence of murder is thought to be much stronger here than anywhere else. It is thought here that Toronto’s claims will have pre- cedence with Philadelphia’s authorities over those of Chicago. The tenant of the cottage in which the murder was done has found a small lE:ieccoi material, apparent! a portion of what had been a light-colore waist, and a scarlet hair string, knotted as though it had been pulled from a plait of hair. This find furnishes another proot of positive identification of the bodies as those of Alice and Nellie Pietzel. ENGLISH SUBJECTS MALTREATED. Now the Government Takes a« Hand in an Umaha Assault. OMAHA, Nesr., July 25.— Frederick Bignell Dawson and Mrs. Dawson, British subjects, on their way to Tacoma, were last July camping out near South Omaha, when they were assaulted by the McCarthy gang of toughs of South Omaha and badly injured. The Dawsons are now at Alliance, Nebr. Nothing has been done toward Yunisuing the McCarthy gang,and the English Government has become inter- ested in it. A large number of letters have been written and the English Consul at Chicago has been inquiring into it. The Governor has just received a letter from Alvey A. Adee, acting Secretary of State at Washington, requesting him to make a thorough investigation. At a previous in- vestigation the Sheriff of this counl{ re- Eoned that the Dawsons were largely to lame for the trouble. It is now alleged that the peace officers are either afraid of or are in collusion with the MecCarthy gang. The County Attorney has deter- mined to investigate the case, and the hear- ing will begin next Monday. ——— The Reed-Landis Wedding.
