A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Geraldine's Letter.

MY IJEAU RUTH: The chief topic of conversation in socifity circl6i for many days pa«l has been the Early-Hussey 'I* wedding. Every detail of It has been thoroughly discussed the handsome trousseau, the elegant and numerous presents, the bride and groom, and lastly the marriage itself, which took place last Wednesday eveningTin St.

brtde mid gro*m,

no one being there out of idle curiosity. Tho chancel of tho church wan decorated with palm* and blooming plants. The Christinas garlauds,still tlush and giet n, hung from tho coiling to llio corners, on tho beautiful marble altar, woro var.es of roses. Mr. Albert Wyeth, by special request, presided at the organ. Tho front seats in tho center of the church wore reserved for tho relatives, and tho few invited guests. They were Mr. and Mrs. E. I.. Hetutls, uncle and aunt of tho bride, Mrs. John Condit of Chicago, aunt of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Condit, cousin of the bride, Mrs. Louisa Early and Mrs. Otliorlol Do Forrest, mother and sister of tho groom, Mr. and Mrs. W. K. MoKcen, Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Hud nut, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Strong, Mrs. John G. Williams, Miss Maria Smith, Mrs. Haberly, Mr. John Geigor, of Indiaunpolts, Mr. Richard Strong, Misses Francisca, Susie and Bettlna Strong.

The bridal party entered the church at Si3ti and walked slowly up the aisle to tho music of the wedding march from Lohengrin. First came the four ushers, Messrs. George Runtin, James Condit, of Chicago, Warren llussey and Will Donaghoe, then the lour groomsmen, Messrs. Hen Mo Keen. Crawford McKeen, Jack Cunningham and John O'Hovle, the four bridesmaids, Miss Anna Strong, Miss Kate Hudnut, Miss Lillian Butler, of Indianapolis, and Miss Anna Warren. Then came Miss Coe Condit. maid of honor, and following her tho bride on the arm of her father. The groom and his#best man, Mr. Jacob Early, came from the Testry and met tho bride in the space between tho pews and the chancel, where the ceremony of the betrothal took place. As the

Stephen's

church. It was an affair of unusual interest on account of the prominence of the two families, whose long residence in the city dates back towards the beginning of the town. Mr. Ires ton Hussey, father of the bride, was born and brought up in Torre Haute. He has al ways occupied a prominent position, and stands high in the esteem and respect of the community. The bride's mother was also born here, and they are not a few, who fear in their hearts tender memories of this large-hearted, noble woman.

The Early family have hoid from the beginning an honorable and prominent position both in business and social circles. When Mr. Samuel 8. Early, Sr., died, Terro Haute lost one of her most cultivated, scholarly, elegant men. Mr. Early came frem a prominent lamily in Maryland, and is related to the Fairfaxes, of Virginia. Both the bride and groom were born and brought up here. The bride, with the exception of .two years in Madame DeSibra's school in New York city, received her education in tho Tone Haute schools. The groom WHS graduated from tho Rose Polytechnic. Adding to this the great popularity of both the young people, we may well count this wedding among tho notablo ovents.

The wedding passed off to the perfect satisfaction of everyone. Lome baforo 8 o'clock a largo crowd had gathered around tho church, but only those were admitted who had been invltod, and who held cards of admission, and by the way, this is an excellent idea. Those who wore in the church were well seated, no crowding, or pushing, and they jJlf**ttft*ll fribtfifti' of

placed tho hand of the bride In that of the groom, they walked up the steps to tho altar follow* by all the attendants where the marriage ceremony was completed. They made a very beautiful group, and I thought I had never seen the always beautiful ceremony, wbeu it waa so impressive. The Rev. H. D. sun ley officiated, and his part could not have been Improved upon. Mr. Wyeth played Mosakowski"# serenade during the ceremony. The chief interest of a wedding centers in the bride, and Miss Florence never looked so handsome as on this day of days to her. Her dress was an elegant Ivory white satin which tell about her in rich, lustrous fol ds. The corsage was eta square In the neck, and finished with exquisite point lace, the sleeves very large and high, the bottom of the corsage finished with a pearl girdle. Her veil completely enveloped ber, extending to the end of the long train. She wore a diamond necklace, and handsome solitaire earrings, the latter.the gift of the groom and carried a large bunch of lilies of the valley.

Miss Coe Condit, cousin of the bride, wore a white silk covered with satin

striped gauze, a short veil, and carried Niphetos roses. Miss Anna Strong, first bridesmaid, wore pink silk covered with pink Mousseline de soie.

Miss Kate Hudunt, pink brocade silk, trimmed with piuk Mousseliue de soie. Miss Lillian Butler, pink silk covered with pink net, decollate, and demitrain.

Misa Anna Warren, a Paris dress of pink brocaded satin, trimmtd with pink Mourfseline de .sole and point applique lace, pearl jewelry.

Each of the bridesmaids carried bunches of Catherine Merrnot roses tied with pink ribbon. The bride's favor to her bridesmaids was a hoart outlined in pearls, on the back were the initials H. and E. The grooms favor to his groomsmen a scarf pin in the shape of a coronet, the band and points of which were pearls.

The bouse was beautifully decorated, the mantels banked in with palms and flowers, flowers everywhere. The bride and groom stood in the drawing room to receive congratulations. T&e dining room, under the magic touch of Mr. John G. Heihl, was transformed into a bower of beauty. The decorations were entirely of piuk and white. The mantel banked In with pink and white primroses, the chandelier wound with smilax, and from it were suspended ribbons of alternate pink and white, reaching to the bottom of tho table cloth each plate rested on ono of these ribbons. The basket of pink roses and white hyacintbe which occupied the center of the table made as handsome a center pico as I ever saw. A lovely souvenir in the form of a box of cake tied with white ribbons, with the name of the person for. whom it was Intended in gilt letters, was at each plate. The bride's cake had the initials F. H. in large lettors, the groom's cake had Early-Hussey and tho date. Mr. Crawford McKeen was the lucky tinder of the ring in the bride's cake. Mrs. John Condit wore garnet satin en train. 0

In my dream of fair women Mrs, De Forest, has the lirst p^u:e. The daughter of a hundred earls could not bear herself more proudly. She wore a dress of lemon color brocade combined with white satin. The train of brocade, the front of the skirt was white satin, edged with handsome lace, caught'up with rosettes of the brocade. Tho corsage of brocade, decoltette, and finished with lace. Two

The Decorative Art Society met Friday afternoon with Mrs. llaburly. The principal feature was a u:ost interesting and carefully prepared paper bj' Miss Sue Ball on "Woman in Art." The lirst woit un on record who attempted to paint, dates away back before Christ. From that period on, Miss Ball mentiontioned every woman artist who had made a name. Coming down to our own time, she gave a most interesting sketch of Rosa Bonhenr and her w6rks and of the three famous sculptors, Harriet Hosmer, Annie Whitney, and Edmonia Lewis, tbo colored ^'oman, who is the tirstof her race who h*s done anything lu tho world of art. The sketch of her was tnade doubly interesting as Miss Ball's information came from Mr. and Mrs. Crurn, who were fellow students with Miss Lewis in Oberlin college. Miss Bail's paper was one of the best ever read before the society. Those present outside the society were Mrs. R. P. Ijams, Mrs. Crawford Fairbanks, Mrs. E. P. Beauchamp and Mrs. E. H, Bindley.

So bitter is the feeling between the Alliance and anti-Alliance men In South Carolina, that the City Council of Columbus in passing resolutions providing for the celebration of its first entennial, so worded them as to exclude Governor Tillman and the members of his State government from any participation in the celebration. Senator Hampton is the leader of the anU-THlmanitea, and the feeling between the two parties Is constantly growing more antagonistic. It Is dally becoming more evident that the farmers will be content with nothing lees that a national victory in politics, which, it it materializes, may or may not benefit the nation.

GossipJl

Cupid is ah active little fellow, undaunted by repulse, persistent in success. In ail circles of society he wages his wars, triumphant in spite of sorest trials. Often his darts fall short of the target, or, striking a knot, drop broken to the ground. But invariably he renews the struggle with increased zeal and finally an arrow goes home to the mark and the prize is his. In every test of marksmanship, he aims at happiness, and against him all other contestants fail. He eventually removes the barrier and then two hearts are joined in divine union. Two convergent paths meet and form a broader roadway leading on to future peace and prosperity. This week's most prominent social events have been the celebrations of his Victories. The prominent weddings were among the most beautiful and stylish the city has ever known. Elegance in every particular marked them and those so fortunate as to be among the witnesses, will never forget them. One feature especially calls for commentboth gentlemen married Terre Haute young ladles whom they had known for years. This goes to disprove the oft-re-peated statement that Prairie City belles are not charming enough for the Prairie City young men, or as state from the opposite view that the Terre Haute young men are not good enough for the Terre Haute girls. The theory was an uncomplimentary one from both si£$ and it is quite comforting that it is thfts proven to be false. Ope other feature of the weddings might also be mentioned, casually as it were. Very quietly it is hinted that there were more than four interested parties in these affairs. It is said that at each half a score or more of anxious young belles closely watched the ceremony, mentally taking notes of every detail and formulating plans for similar events of great interest to them to take place in the near future. Dame Gossip, as she stood in the rear of St. Stephen's church Wednesday evening, pointed out several giaceful forms and charming faces that soon will be seen before the altar—very, very soon for two or three, and later in the Phoenix club rooms, this same madam singled out other blooming cheeks that soon will submit to husbands' kisses. Who are they? .It would not be fair .to telL.b

Miss Rose Farrlngton entertains the Tri-color dancing club at her home on south Sixth street to-night. The club's guests for the evening will be the Misses Law, of Evausville.

Very beautiful illuminated invitations have been issued for the third reception of the Patriarchs Militant, Canton McKeen No. 28, to be given at Fort Harrison Lodge room, Monday evening, February 9th. Each gentleman is expected to accept for himself and lady.

The E. O. F. N. club met last night with Miss Lota Blood, and was charm ingly entertained. Progressive euchre furnished amusement for the evening, there being three tables. The club members are Misses Lota Blood, Ida Douglass, Tlllie Elsebach, Grace Rogers, Ireue Logan, Mary Katzenbach, and Messrs K. L. Hauson, Roy G. Wood, V. J. Gillette, Chas. A. Phillips, William M'enden and Charles Talley. The mysterious "E. O. F. N." signifies "every other Friday night."

The duration of the cold spell was so exceedingly short that Uttle opportunity was given for skating parties. But nevertheless one jolly crowd managed to take advantage of eveu the half chance, and spent Monday evening on the ice at Lake Fluvanna. There was no moon, to be sure, but torches and an immense log bon-fire brilliantly illuminated the lake. The party went out in bosses, and by the forethought the young ladies were able to spend the entire evening skating, lunches being provided by them to ward off the cravingsof hunger with theyoung men. The thoughtfulness was duly appreciated and later the compliment was returned by the young men treating to an oyster supper at Sage's cafe. The skaters were the Misses Grace Havens, Elizabeth Harwood, of Chicago, Miss Harris, of Saginaw, Belle Allen, Nellie McKeen, Louise Haberly and Messrs. Morton Hudson, Harry Beggs, Ernest Rounsaville, Cliff WestfaU, Bob Johnson, Charles Dancan. Mrs. B. G. Cox and Mrs. Elisha Havens chaperoned the party.

One of the most notable events whick has taken place in Terre Haute's circle of Jewish society for years was the wedding of Judy Thorman and Bliss Battle Frank last Wednesday night. Hie ceremony took place at the residence of the bride, on Mulberry street, only the immediate relatives and ushers being present. The parlors* ware profusely decorated for the occasion, and the Ringgold orchestra was stationed in the reception room. At seven o'clock, the time set for the ceremony, the bridal party entered, white the orchestra played a wedding march. The bride wore white silk and brocade, long train, and carried a bouquet of white roses. She look very pretty. The ushers were Marx Myers,

The beautiful parlors and drill hall of the Knights of Pythias were the scene of another social triumph for the Uni form Rank, last night, tho occasion being the annual dancing reception of the order. The "hop" wa-j strictly invitational and in consequence was a very select as well as enjoyable aflair. About 9 o'clock the grand march formed, the Hue of dancers exteuding completely round the hall, and to the music of the Ringgold orchestra, this and tho succeeding waltz were goue through with. Then the dancers scattered over the entire suite of rooms and the fine beauty of the scene was developed. Here and there were the Sir Knights in their, perfectly fitting uniforms, and their presence

lent

a military tone highly sugges­

tive of the swell West Point receptions one reads about. The ladies were elegantly dressed, the gentlemen striving to keep pace with them in dress suits, glistening shirt bosoms and nobby neckties. The programme included sixteen dances and it was reasonably late when the reception came to an end.

The reorganization of the Home Circle luncing club was a social boon to the city, for its beautiful reception at The Terre Haute refute the oft repeated statement that there is no real social enjoyment among the first society here. The dances bring together all the leading people, and one glance into the brilliantly lighted dancing hall of the hotel on the occasion of a club reception is sufficient to dispel such an illusion. There it is evident Terre Haute has bonton society and also clear that it is not to be surpassed anywhere. Beautiful women elegantly dressed whom even far famed Kentucky cannot rival,

Twenty-first Year

and handsome men, known in every financial center of the country, are met at every turn and their assemblies ars indeed notable events. Last night the second club dance was given and this in effect was fully equal to the Introductory reception. The most noticeable feature was the number of married people present in fact it was almost a married folks'dance, many or the younger circle present at the December reception uot being included. Several couples were prominent in the dancing hail who have not attended such affairs for years, one lady and gentleman for sixteen years it is said. Those more active in their social indulgence endeavored to make the evening so pleasant that this retirement will be foresworn. The hotel reception romos were arranged very much as at the previous dance, no special effort being made to introduce novelties. Nevertheless ths bright incandescent globes, flaming fuel gas fires, and profuse tloral decorations presented a fresh and interesting appearance. The ladies' ordinary was especially pretty. Here twenty-four small tete-a-tete tables,

each with a large

cover and center bouquet of cut flowers, were arranged, and during an intermission the following luncheon was served: Boullion, ham sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, coffee, potato salad, chicken salad—-mayonalse, fresh shrimp salad— mayonai je, apricot sherbet, pineapple ice cream and cakes. The programme included eighteen dances, closing with a schottische. Among those present re

The Chesapeake oyster trade, a great industy In which millions of people are interested, is being steadily and rapidly ruined. The Baltimore American says: "Less than ten years ago the receipts of oysters at Baltimore, in the half of a season, by January, were six million bushels. Two years ago four million bushels of oysters were received in Baltimore by Jan. 1. One year ago three million bushels were received by Jan. 1. This season the receipts to Jan. 1 have fallen below two million bushels." The peace of mind of the oyster lover need not, however, be considerably disturbed, as the Gulf of Mexico still furnishes a bountiful supply.

A gentleman now living in Buffalo, Wyoming, who has visited several times in Terre Haute, writes as follows on £he feeling of the people there toward the red men: "The Indians are so heartily hated that every man here is Itching for a chance at them, which chance may be offered. Sitting Bull's death was an occasion of general rejoicing. The men here know him well, and the devil himself has never been cursed with such good will. If tbo Congressman who wanted his killing investigated should come here, he would probably receive a libei al coat or tar and feathers. This maudlin ntimentality that some people in the east have been indulging in, makes men out here disgusted. When their friends and brothers have been murdered, their mothers, wives and sisters killed and ravished by these red devils, they can't be blairned for hating them. Sitting Bull was the worst of the lot. If he had ever come into this section of the country he would have been shot on sight, and no jury here would have pronounced the murderer guilty. An Indian would be killed with less compunction than a dog, after be bad gone on the war-path. Sympathizers may write all they will about the noble red man, but he is nothing more than a lazy, trifling, cowardly, good-for-nothing beast that doe* not deserve pity from any one. If yon could bear some of the experiences men living here have gone through, you would hate the Indians just as heartily as they do. 1 did feel sorry for them before coming west, but I do not now." These are strong words but they express the undoubted sentiment of the entire frontier, and explain why a resident of this locality cannot fully understand the desperate means necessary to keep the red men within bounds. Indian character has been painted in glowing colors for decades. The pictures are about as true to life as would be the portrait ot President Harrison painted by a man whose only Information concerning him was his name.
