"Is it true that you and Anna Gould were married in the Tinted States just prior to your departure?" was the question put to the prince this morning when found in his hotel. Prince de Sagau seemed to accumulate the wrath which he felt against all journalists as he looked the questioner squarely in the eye. "That is a question which I positively refuse to discuss," said he. "But it is reported that you and Madame Gould were married by a justice of the peace in Hoboken within several hours of your sailing." persisted the interviewer. To this the prince would vouchsafe neither denial nor affirmation. After a moment's solence he turned abruptly upon his heel and hurried away, refusing even to listen to further queries. Secret Ceremony. New York, May :.. It is declared today that Prince Helie de Sagan and married in Hoboken on the night of April 1. The story is one of romantic features and every element, of it. teems with the sensational sentiment which is usually associated with French courtship and adventure. According to the story, the Prince and Mme. Gould both prepared to sail on April 11. although by separate ships. Late that night they met by appointment and rode away into the night in a swiftly speeding automobile. It was at that time that rumors were thickest, about their reported engagement or marriage and their movements were being closely watched by the newspapers. However, despite all of the precautions which were taken the couple managed to avoid reporters and their movements were lost. According to the story which came to light today, the couple were carried to a Hoboken hotel, where a justice of the peace performed the ceremony. Late in the afternoon of April H, a man who said he was from the office of a New York lawyer, sought information by telephone from Justice of the Peace Bubender, of Hoboken. as to the exact provisions of the New Jersey marriage laws. The man who gave neither his own name nor those of the principals, said that a distinguished couple wished to get married in Hoboken that night and it would be well worth the justice's while to keep himself in readiness to perform the ceremony. Justice Bubender waited until 1 o'clock in the morning of April 11, and deciding then that his services were not needed, retired. It. is said that in the meantime that a new choice in the matter of justices and one from Jersey City had been called in. He went to the Hoboken hotel and there performed the ceremony. According to the report the Prince de Sagan and Mme. Gould arrived in a closed carriage, accompanied by a trusted friend. The ceremony took only a few moments and a fee of $500 was given to the officiating authority to insure silence. Servant Problem Solved? Not exactly.

The Geo. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Week of May 25. Vaudevihe. May 29 Al. G. Field's Minstrels. Vaudeville at the Gennett. Attention of theater-goers is again called to the fact that a change has been made in the prices for vaudeville at the Gennett, beginning with today. They are now ten and fifteen cents, the same as was charged at the New Phillips. The new bill, inaugurated this afternoon, is believed to be a very pleasing one and a capacity audience is expected on the opening night. Some of the acts are entirely different from any that have been recently offered. Al G. Field Greater Minstrels. "Strikingly beautiful" is the general verdict of all who have seen the magnificent first part, and thrillingly beautiful spectacles that Al G. Field has made the features of his Greater Minstrel show this season. Mr. Field is said to have overcome the impossible in stage craft, by presenting his company in a series of the most striking stage pictures ever conceived for a theatrical production. The first part alone is a marvel of ingenuity, the lighting effects being worthy of an Aladdin for they are said to rival the effulgence that wizard cast by his wonderful lamp. The hot house, or conservatory scene in the first part, is rich in embellishment, and with its wealth of foliage and flowering shrubs all electrically articulated, it reveals in Mr. Field, its designer, a master craftman. The Al G. Field greater minstrels will appear at the Gennett Friday night. AH AUTOJOMAIiCE Winner of Briar Cliffe Trophy Takes a Pretty Bride. TYSON IS A BENEDICT. Stamford, Conn., May 23.
