JOE REYNOLDS MARRIED IN CHICAGO WEDNESDAY.

Former. Newspaper Man, Believed to be a Confirmed Bachelor, Succumbs to WOes of Cupid. :-- - ( Joe Reynolds, who was believed to be immune from the attacks of Dan Cupid, has at last surrendered to the little god of love and at the Hyde Park hotel parlors in Chicago Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the presence of only a few friends he made Miss Bessie Durant, of New York, his bride. The ceremony was performed by Judge Jesse Baldwin. For some time Joe has made his home at the Hyde Park hotel and himself and bride will remain there for about three weeks before beginning housekeeping. Joe kept his approaching marriage a profound secret and his mother, Mrs. S. R. Nichols, of this city, did not know of it until she received a brief “night letter” telegram this morning informing her that he had broken all records and become a benedict. Joe does not go into particulars to say just what he meant by breaking all records. Whether he meant brevity of courtship or the value of the prize Is not stated, but it is surmised that the latter was the meaning. They say that love is like measles, a fellow never gets it bad but once and tile older he is when he has it the worse he has it. Joe Is hitting it up toward forty and ‘he probably has a case of love so fiery that it would ake an ordinary love’ affair look like an iceberg. Joe will come to Rensselaer Saturday evening with his bride and will spend Sunday with his mother, and his many friends here will have an opportunity to give him their best wishes. Joe was for some years a newspaper man. About three years ago he began work as* a salesman for the J. W. Butler Paper Go., of Chicago He has received a number of promotions and is now one of the leading men in that big concern, being one of the buyers and spending considerable time in New York and the east. He has been acquainted with Miss Durant for several years.
