Marriage of Hlaa Alice Crain. jCbo Washington Star of Nov. loth says of the marriage of a popular Blooniington girl: "A very pretty wedding occurred last evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Vietor H. Mason, at 1749 Madison street. The principals were Mr. F. D. Simons of the treasury department, and Miss Alice N. Crain of Bloomington, Ind. The groom is the brother-in-law of Mr. Mason, private secretary to the secretary of war, and owing to a recent bereavement iu his family the wedding ceremony was a quiet affair, attended only by relatives and intimate friends. The parlors were handsomely decorated for the occasion with plants and flowers, chrysanthemums being especially numerous. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Luccock, of the Presbyterian church of this city. The attachment which was so happily consummated in this uuiou was begun during Vne groom's attendance at college at Bloomington, tbe home of the bride. After receiving the congratulations of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. . Simons started on a bridal tour of northern cities." Ed. Hughes always was a tasty fellow, and the following from tbe Salida (Colorado) Mail, shows that he is still on deck, as 'twere: "A show window that has attracted perhaps more attention than any ever seen in Salida is that in Ben. Disman's clothing store arranged by Ed. M. Hughes. Tbe scene is representative of Thanksgiving time and the poem of James Whitcemb Riley, the Hoosior poet, "When the frost is cn the pumpkin," is brought into play. The window is decorated with corn fodder, pumpkins, etc. A live turkey and several rabbits add to the attraction of the display." On Wednesday evening, at tbe home of W. R. Williams, Louis Hall, the popular agent of the Monon at Clear Creek station, was married to Miss Letha Mathera, a charminsr vounar lady, the
daughter of the late well known
Milford Mathers. I hey are both excellent young people and are to be congratulated on their mutual choice.
