WED IN WHITE HOUSE

MR. LONGWORTH AND MISS ROOSEVELT MARRIED. Ceremony Performed In Historic East llooiu Urlde the Famous DanKhler of Famous FatherGroom Han Character and "Wealth. Washington correspondence: No bride of recent years and possibly none of any tinie has been looked upon with such an amount of interest and been the object of so much mingled curiosity and admiration as the one who Saturday stood in the East room of the White House and linked ber future with that of Nicholas Longworth. No other American has been the recipient of such world-wide favors as Alice Roosevelt. The stream of gifts, rich in their intrinsic value and richer in their symbolism of the world's good will to us, has flown steadily for several weeks. The mysterious treasure boxes of ancient China and Japan ; the jewels of the Orient and the art and skill of the Occident have been drawn upon in larger measure than ever before for a single bride to demonstrate that the nations of the earth take pleasure in honoring the daughter of the man who has done so much to advance the cause of peace and has aided so materially in bringing his own country to a position of world-recognized great ness. For the gifts which have lcn sent to Miss Roosevelt are not only a compliment to this young wom.-iu of striking personality, but are likewise a tribute of respect to her father and to the nation whose head he is. On" the other hand, it is a mistake to assume that it is only because she is her father's daughter that Miss Roosevelt is thus remembered. She shines not alone by reflected light, for her owu individuality has that magnetism which wins admiration, both socially and insularly. The public has seen enough of Miss Alice to like her and the present of silver and gold, of jewels and laces and other costly things which dazzled the guests at the White House are but trifling in comparison with that wealth of love and good will which goes out to her from the American people and which made her bridal altar not oniy the center of interest, but of solicitude a? well. In the F,at Room. There were over 700 people at the White House Saturday, the compjny comprising the relatives and rear friends of the two families and such guests as diplomacy demanded an In vitation for. The disappointed ones number thousands. The East room had been tastefully deeorted with plants, a bridal bower of palms, smllax. white carnations and orange blossoms being MR. AND MRS. located in front of the central windows. Here an altar was erected, at which the couple knelt, while Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of the diocese, performed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Roland Cotton Smith. The bridal party consisted of the best man Thomas Nelson Perkins of Boston; the ushers Frederick Winthrop of New York, B. A. Wallingford, Jr., of Cincinnati, Quincy A. Shaw, Francis R. Banks, Guy Norman and Larz Anderson of Boston, Viscount de Chambrun and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. The bride leaned upon her father's arm, and before her walked her sister, Ethel. The march to the East room led through the beautiful grand corridor to the music of the Marine Band Orchestra. Miss Alice wore one of the handsomest gowns ever turned out.Jn this country. When she was in China the Uowajrer Empress presented her with oriental dress goods as rich as those worn by the Queen of Sheba. She was anxious to utilize these for an exquisite wedding gown, but her father objittcd, and had made for her, at a Paterson, N. J., mill, a fabric of special design. The gown is of white satin, in princess style, with a court train of broche. the design being a rose outlined In silver thread. The skirt is plain, tight titting, with no trimming. Drapings of tulle, chiffon ruche, ruffles of lace, and a yoke of real rose point give the finishing touches to the gown. Orange blossoms fell loosely over the coiffure, which was a la pompadour, and the Tell reached almost to the bottom of the train. While she was prevented from having the wedding gown made of the exquisite Oriental shawls presented to her by the Dowager Empress of China she made use of these in some stunning tea gowns. One of these is a yellow gown of China silk, shirred at the shoulders, draping loosely to the feet and embroidered around the bottom with gold dragons. A space for the bead to slip through is cut In the center of the shawl in such a way that It Interesting Newa Items. Swisher Brothers' cigar factory at Newark, Ohio, was destroyed by fire. The loss was $40,000, with insurance of $25,000. Attorney General Hadley of Missouri has requested the New York commissioner who hexrd the Standard Oil testimony to orward a report of the same to the Attorney General of Ohio. All the independent steel and iron mills west of Y'oungstown, Ohio, employing 15,000 men, have organized as the Western Bar Association to deal in a body with the unions on wage matters. Advices received from the sealing fleet hunting off Cape Horn and in the Antarctic say the catches are larger up to the present than last season. A collection of Russian documents and state papers has been presented to Columbia university by M. Witte, the Russian premier. The collection includes ?J1 the Russian state papers now in print. Mrs. Elizabeth W. Piatt of St. Louis, who with her six children sued David R. Francis and other members of his firm to recover $134,000 in stocks and bonds alleged to have been hypothecated through D. R. Francis, Brother & Co., by Charles R.

falls with a point back and front and over each shoulder, the effect leing extremely beautiful. Another shawl is used in the making of a pink tea gown in kimono effect, the shawl being draped from the shoulder, caught under the arm and falling in long, graceful lines to the bottom of the chiffon underskirt. After the ceremony and the wedding breakfast ia the state dining room. Mrs. Longworth donned her going-away gown and the couple started on the honeymoon.

went. After the honeymoon the balance of the winter will be spent in Washington. Then the young couple go abroad. Beaatifnlly.Gowned Guests. Miss Alice was not the only handsomely gowned woman at her wedding. The simple fact is that never in the history of weddings In this country has there been such preparation for resplendent gowning. The dressmakers of five cities Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston say that never before in their experience have such orders for wedding costumes been placed with them. Probably the handsomest gowns heretofore Gov. Johnson of Minnesota, speaking before the Duluth Y. M. C. A. said $10,Oia a year was enough salary for any man. William Taylor, aged 22, shot and instantly killed his wife and probably fata'ly wounded himself at the home of his father-in-law, Morton Baker, at Sparta, Ky. W. F. Bechtel, former president of the Northwestern Life Insurance Company, and Elmer TJ. Dearth, former State insurance commissioner, were arraigned at Minneapolis on two new indictments charging bribery. Word reached the Governor of Mississippi of the murder of J. A. Robertson, sheriff of Covington, near Williamsburg, his slayer being a negro, who escaped. The Rev. Matthew O'Keefe was buried under the chancel of the Catholic church he built at Towaon.'Md. Three Confederate flags were wrapped about his coffin, ne was chaplain of Mahon's brigade.

Buchanan, Twenty-third infantry, who was tried by court martial in New York and found guilty of charges of violating his pledge to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors and drunkenness duty, and sentenced to be dismissed.

HEB WEDDING GOWN.

seen at any wedding in this country were at the Marlborough wedding in St. Thomas' Church, New York. It was a beautiful sight for a day ceremony, but it is said that the costumes at Miss Alice's wedding far surpassed even those at the Marlborough nuptials. The very fact that the guests were limited as to number seemed to bo a stimulus for every woman there to look her best. The presents were a most attractive display. The gift of hte French government was a beautiful tapestry, costing $2."VC00 ; that of the Cuban government a iKarl necklace costing $25,000. Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid sent a dog collar of strands of diamonds, all of generous size, with a pendant composed of stones of equal size and brilliancy. A novel gift was a Boston bull terrier, valued at $1,500, which came from Pittsburg. The Kaiser's gift was a bracelet of most exquisite design. Mrs. Longworth is clever. She can rid?, drive, skate and shoot. She loves adventure and has been down in the ocean's depths in a submarine boat. In her studies she has excelled in French, geography and the politics of the world. She wds put at music when a very young girl and can sing and play the piano well. In an emergency she has rem:.rkable poise and judgment for one of her years. In her dress she has taste and wears clothes that are neither too plain nor too gaudy. She is even a leader in fashion and the young women of the smart set imitate her. She was the first tt iet upon her head the big. broad-brimmed, rough-and-ready straw sailor that has since become a vogue. She inherits much of her father's intense energy and could never be one of the idle rich. Her standing would have been of the best had her father never been President. She might have met quite as many distinguished people, though she could not have had such homage, and would have danced just the same at Mrs. Astor's ball. In temperament she is like her father, and she is his loyal admirer. As a man, Congressman Longworth is described as reserved and not given to a display of feeling, ne is cautious and far-sighted. But, once he has mapped out a plan or policy, he adheres to it and generally sees its successful culmination. He enjoys music and plays the piano and violin more than passing well. He likes to mix with all classes of people and one of his hobbies used to be to drop into the cheap theaters and watch the audience take the thrillers there offered. His Cincinnati home, Rookwood, on Grandin road, is a picturesque old mansion, with wide veranda and commodionj rooms. There is a large music room with beautifully kept gardens without. There are many costly paintings in Rookwood, as all the Longworths have been devoted to art, and his grandsire presented to Cincinnati its art museum. The United States army transport Meade, delayed in her departure on the first month by a fatal fire, sailed from San Francisco for Honolulu, Guam and Manila, carrying more than 100 passengers, beside the Second infantry and the Eighth and Thirteenth field batteries.

Patrick of New York was convicted of the murder of William Marsh Rice, has disappeared from his home near Houston, Texas, and it is said be was yaid not to return to New York to aid Patrick in his fight against death in the electric chair. Fritz Rueter, a well-known hotel and restaurant keeper at John Marshall place and Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, committed suicide by shooting. Two miners in the Bluebird mine at Cripple Creek, Colo., were overcome by bad air in the mine while being hoisted in tha cage, fell out and were dashed to death. Three others were injured. A crusade against keeping song birds in cages was started in St. Louis recently, John Werner, keeper of a bird store, being arrested by deputy game wardens and birds being seized from several other dealers. It is said that the campaign may extend to all citizens keeping song birds in confinement.
