THE RANKIN—MCFARLANE NUPTIALS. —The marriage of Miss: Isabella Katharine Rankin and ‘Mr. Frank McFarlane, which was planned to have been a delightful af- fair and the most important social occasion of the month, took place on Wednesday at 3 o’clock at the home of the bride’s moth- er, Mrs. Barbara Rankin, street. The wedding was to have been celebrat- ed as “The Red Lion’’ with many guests present, for when the engagement was first announced ex-Governor Hastings, who was Mrs. McFarlane’s brother-in-law, asked the privilege of having the wedding at his own home and took a lively interest in all the arrangements for it. Just two weeks ago to-day he and Mrs. Hastings sent out the invitations and a very happy affair was anticipated. His sickness following so closely stopped all of the preparation for the festivities and on Thursday, although he seemed better at that time, the bride-to- be recalled all of the invitations. The sor- row of the subsequent days made a happy event an impossibility. so with no one pres- ent but the members of the two families and a few old friends the marriage was sol- emnized on the day it was originally in- tended to be. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, pronounced the ceremony and the bride was, given away by her brother, Edward B. Rankin, of Harrisburg. The maid of honor was Miss Janette Me- Farlane, the groom’s sister, and Jack Mitchell, of Lemont, was best man. The bride wore a going-away gown of dark blue cheviot and carried orchids. After the ceremony refreshments were served by Ceader and Mr. and Mrs. McFarlane de- parted on the 4:45 train for Washington and Philadelphia. Upon their return they will make their home at the McFarlane homestead near Boalsburg. They are both so favorably known throughout the county that it is sincerely hoped that the cloud that over- shadowed their day of days is only the precursor of a sunny life. FLELLEAL AE Ca REV.

The singers were in a liberal mood and the number of encores equaled the original program. ‘‘Tyrolese Hunter's March,’’ by Koschat, and “Remember Now Thy Crea- tor.’ a splendid sacred composition by Rhodes, were both rendered with excelient effect.
