A friend of his was start- ing for Monte Carlo to play the sysitem and was actually in a train at Charing Cross with his luggage booked for “Sunny South,” when a telegram was put into his the journey. A few weeks ago the Earl of Roslyn started In to try his luck against the Monte Carlo tables on a system devised by himself. He worked out his scheme with the usual elaborate mathematical calculations of the “system” monger, and to make sure of its infallibility went so far as to hire a.croupler from the Ostend | gaming tables with whom, in prolonged seances in London, he tested it in prac- tice. It was said that he then formed a syndicate to provide the capital for mak- ing war upon the Monte Carlo table bank- ers. His operations created a good deal of interest, being witnessed, among oth- ers, by Chauncey M. Depew and Charles M.

The ceremony was performed in the presence of a company distinguished at | home and abroad. It was a wedding al- | most international in its character. At the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, | where the knot was tied, you could not | | | | move without jostling an Embassador or | & Cabinet Minister or former Cabinet | Minister. THe President of the United States and his family occupied a front pew. The bride’ was given away by her | father, Secretary of State and former Embassador to the court of St. James. The father of the groom, William C. ‘Whitney, maker of Presidents, maker of | fortunes for his friends and Secretary of }lh(’ Navy in the Cabinet of Cleveland, | 1ooked beamingly on as the bride and | groom stood at the altar. | It seemed that a handsomer couple ney- er clasped hands. The bride is one of the prettiest girls of Washington, and she looked perfectly radlant to-day. The groom, tall, broad-shouldered and ath- letic, seemed to be a sample of perfect young American manhood. Popular Interest in Wedding. Popular interest In the wedding was shown by the crowds that gathered at an early hour at the residence of Secretary Hay, at H and Sixteenth streets, and at the Church of the Covenant, at Connecti- cut avenue and N street. At the house hundreds of residents, all of whom knew Miss Hay by sight and most of whom had met her at one time or another, wait. ed to'catch a glimpse of the bride when she entered the carriage. It was the proudest day in the life of the Hay coach- man when he drove the dashing team of the Secretary of State up to the house. He wore a big white rose in his lapel and a big white cockade on his hat. The bridles of the horses were tricked out with white rosettes and long white rib- bons fluttered from the whip. The bride appeared in a heavy wrap and was es- corted to the carriage by her father. Her mother had gone on to the church in ad- yance. After Miss Hay came her sister, Miss Alice Hay, and the sister ‘of the groom, Miss Dorothy Whitney, who as a little girl during Cleveland's admigstra- tion was the pet at her mother's teas. President and Mrs. Roosevelt, accom- panied by their daughter, arrived at the church a few minutes hefore 11 o'clock and were at once escorted to a front pew. The President stepped back and insjsted on his wife and daughter being first taken to their places. Mrs. Hay came in a few seconds later looking unusually well in a trailing gown of white silk, small black bonnet and wearing black furs. Ex-Sec- retary Whitney had a little trouble to get into the church, but none after his iden- tity became known. He looked as young as when he left Washington and the cares of official life years ago, and was kept busy smiling and bowing to acquaint- ances. Beautiful Floral Decorations.

The Secretary of State and his daughter and the bridesmaids arrived just before the noon hour. While waiting Miss Hay recognized in the crowd several old friends. She nodded to them cheerily. The handsome church had been trans- formed into a bower of Easter lllies against a background of green. The wali back of the pulpit was formed into a re- redos of glant palms, southern smilax and ferns, in the center of which wae a huge cluster of lilles tled with loops of broad white satin ribbons, blossoms radiating in every direction. Around the church walls were festoons of smilax caught in gar- lands by bows and loops of ribbons. The large plllars ‘were twined with smilax, the capital pillars were a mass of lilles, and clusters of the same were placed at intervals around them. The pews re- served for the family and near friends and distinguished guests were looped off by ribbons, and clusters of the blossoms were massed against the pew ends. Per- haps the most beautiful and unique fea- ture was the decorative scheme of the center alsle. A large cluster of lilles was fastened at the end of every pew, placed at various distances from the floor, gradu- ating from a height of three feet at the pulpit to the back of the church, wiers the flowers stood six or seven feet high. This formed an aisle of flowers, down which the bridal procession passed. The Bridal Procession. The ushers came first, followed by the bridesmalds, who preceded the bride, who leaned on the arm of her fathef. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Alice Hay, and the sister of the groom, Miss Dorothy Whitney, both of whom | 1ooked lovely iIn the palest shade of gray crepe de chine over white taffeta. Mr. ‘Whitney was attended by Eugene Hale Jr., second son of Senator Hale of Maine. Theé gown worn by Miss Hay was char- | acterized by its elegant simplicity. It was cut on severely plain lines, a princess — gown fastened on one side of the front by spray embroidery running from that s'de to the hem of the gown. The delicate and extremely simple spray was embroiderad in green and consisted of orange blossoms which were of white velvet appliqued. The bodice was cut a little low and the stock and yoke under the opening was of soft folds of tulle. With this was worn a large tulle veil over the face and falling in the back to the edge of her long court train. It was held in place by a coronet of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was a departure from the ordinary cluster, being best described as a miniature floral muff held in one hand, the blossoms of whick were white orchids and orange blossoms falling in a cascade to the hem of the gown. It was really a *“shower bouquet,” as it is understood and pictured in Eng- land, and wéds a counterpart of the one she were when presented at the court in Great Britain. No Display of Jewels. The bride, one of the very prettiest girls in Washington, was radiantly lovely this morning and exclamations of admiration were heard on all sides as she entered the church. She seemed not the least %it nervous, and had a nod and the sweetest of smiles for all who greeted her. Miss Hay's own simple and, unostentatious taste as well as the deep mourning which the family is observing for the son and brother, the late Adelbert Hay, whosa tragic death last summer caused uni- versal sorrow, were responsible for the absence of all jewels. i Mr. Whitney and his best man met the wedding procession at the pulpit steps. The wedding march from ‘‘Lohengrin” was played as the bride advanced up the aisle. Ats the altar they were met py Rev. Teunis 8. Hamlin, pastor of the | chureh, who was assisted by Rev. H. C.

Terms of the Offer. In his offer the doctor says: “T hereby offer myself as a subject for vivisection in any direction or along such lines as may be selected. I will myself, when able and competent, assist my vivi- | sectors by such notes as may be of in- terest and value to them and to me.

VIENNA, Feb. 6—In accordance with'a scientific plan, several simultaneous bal- loon ascensions were made to-day from various European capitals. Three ascen- sions were made from here, one being undertaken by Archduke Leopold, who for many years has studied and practiced aeronautics. He used his new balloon, the Meteor. He was accompanied by his wife, | the Archduchess Blanche, who is a daugh- ter of Don Carlos, and who has previously made four balloon trips. They were not accompanied by a professional' aeronaut, their only attendant being an inexperi- enced aid de camp. The Meteor started at 9 o'clock in the morning in a violent and cold wind. The voyage was unevent- ful, and four and a half hours later the Archduke and the Archduchess landed with perfect safety near Breslau, 200 miies from here. This same journey in an ex- press train occupied about eight hours. The maximum- altitude attained by the Archduke was 10,000 feet. Accuses a French Deputy.

In the House of Commons yesterday Balfour, the Government leader, an- nounced that copies of the correspond- ence exchanged between the Government of the Netherlands and the Government of Great Britain on the subject of peace in South Africa had been mailed to Lord Milner, Governor of the Transvaal and Orange River colonies and High Commis- sioner of South Africa, who would be in- structed to ask Lord Kitchener to com- municate the contents to the Boer lead- ers in the field.
