C, Stewart's Comedy Presented at Fulton Opera lloune A Uteut Man's Troubles. J. C. Stewart and ills company appeared in Fulton epera heuse lust eveniug in the comedy "The Fat Men's club." The au dience was of right geed size. The play, like the "The Twe Jehns," was written te show the fine points of fat men, and Mr. Stewart Is ene of that kind. He plays the part of J'ref Bacen, a music teacher, who hasau opera which he Is crazy te have produced. A friend tells him that if he Joins the Fat Men's (dub, te which many managers belong, he can easily bave his opera bi ought out. He consents tojeln and the way that he Is bandied in the initia tion act would cause a less timid actor than Mr. Stewart te shrink from playing the part. The burden of the play rests upon him And he makes lets of fun which at times, hewever, is somewhat thin. The company is competent and includes several poeplo with specialties. Miss Edith Clark gave a geed imitation of a little girl and Estrella Sylvia did very difficult dancing. The acrobatie act of the De Beloin Brethers was line and it startled the audience. Thore was another fat man In the company who was almost twlce as large as Mr. Stewart. He seems te be carried along for his size only, as he appears but twice In the play and opens bis mouth but ence. The Churches Redlstrleted.

Til mSHEOT IF TII FEME'S MM HIKES M WIISESIAYEVIKMO. Many Friends Frem .Lancaster and DIs tantCltle Wtttteswtha Ceremony Per formed la the Moravian Church. On Wednesday evening the matrimo nial epidemic that has swept ever Lancas ter society reached a happy climax in the marriage of Mlse Mary VI rgtnla Hawthorne, daughter of the late Rev. James Hawthorne and niece or the late Albert Eberman, te Jacob Lieber Stelnmets, esq., the newly elected president of the People's bank. By a quarter of seven o'cleek the Moravian church was crowded with an eager but patient audience ; every seat was taken, but none were obliged te stand, At seven the ribbons were stretched, the full length of all the aisles, and as the organist began the wedding march from Lohengrin the bridal party advanced in slew precession up the alsle and grouped against the leafy background of tropical plants massed upon the platform. First came eight ushers In the following erder: Harry Carpenter, esq., C. & Feltz, 1). McN. Stauffer, editor of the Kngintering AVir, B. Frank Breneman, Reah Frazer, U. S. N., Geergo Stelnman, E. P. Slaymnker, Edw. D. North, esq. Then canto the maid of honor, Miss RebeccA Rhoads, followed by the bride leaning en the arm of Stephen G. Caldwell, president of the Fidelity Trust companyef Philadelphia. The bride were a heavy white brocade silk and pearls and diamonds, nd carried a beautiful bouquet of rare orchids. Miss Rhoads was dressed in pink creme and carried mermet roses. The bride was met at the altar by the groom and his best man Jehn E. Malone, esq., entering from the west and by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Max Hark, from the east deer of the lecture room. The beauti ful and impressive marriage service of the Moravian church was then read,cenclndlng with the pastoral blessing given te the kneeling bride and groom. The responses were distinct In the breathless silence of the hundreds prosent, and the scene dlgnl fled, beautiful and solemn. During the ceremony the organist played a melody of L. Llebe and a romance of Halevy, and as Mr. and Mrs. Stelnmetz steed erect facing down the alsle the triumphant notes of a govetto by Gustave Lang started the pro pre cession, and, through the seated throng of friends and relatives, brilliant with the costumes of the ladles, the happy brlde and groom passed out te the carriages. Mrs. W. O. Fralley was the organist and the floral decorations were by Gee. W. Schreyer. The chancel was' fllled with many tropical plants, tree ferns and rare exotics, and the edge of the platform lined with blooming spring flowers, lilles and hyacinths. X brilliant reception was. held nt the home of the brlde, en North Duke street, from eight until olevon o'clock; the spacious balls and parlors thronged with g'uests and the inusle of Therbahn's orchestra of twelve musicians rising above the steady murmur of conversation with its ever rippling undorteno of merry laughter. The refreshments were served In an annex built for the occasion. The walls and celling of this lsrge room were completely cevered and beauti fully draped with cheese cloth of varied shades of pink and ornamented with pink rosettes and festoons of a shade of green. Caterer Payne, of the Hamilton club, formerly with Trower, of German town, had been given carte blancbe and rose te the occasion most admirably. The orchestra was embowered in tropical plants atthenorthern ondefthls annex, close te the open windows of the parlor and hall. The presenta were displayed In a second story room and adjoining hall, and were very many, costly and beautiful. Among thorn were a piano, and a superb piece of statuary, the bust or a French girl by a famous Italian artist. Alse a beautiful statuette of a Neapolitan boy. The. floral decorations of the house by Rohrer & Bre. were beautiful beyend description. The bride and groom received un eor a lanre floral bell. The mantels and chimney pieces, the stairway and the windows wero glowing with the beauty of azaloa.rese and hyacinth, and the air full or the delicate perfume of violets and lilies or the valley. Flashing jewels, dresses that were works or art, and wearers or them, that wero masterpieces of nature, made the scene a very paradise, spoiled only by the band of Time as he hur ried en the minutes. As the btide came down In her travelling costume the lower rail of the stairway and the square fleer of the stair-well were crowded with young ladies ready te catch the bouquet. After several feints from the third story It was thrown unexpectedly from the second, and fell squarely in the centre. The crowd of girls pounced upon it and. a dozen hands were fastened in the flowers tugging for a share, while faces and shoulders bending low and prossed close together gazed up towards the bride like ene splendid big laughing bouquet. The brlde called te them at last te make room for the (;entlemen, and the struggle seen ended with the bouquet of flowers tern te pieces. Then Miss Rhoads made ready te threw her Ions- stemmed roses te the gentlemen. She first cut the twlne that bound Ittogether and then when she tossed it down the bunch spread and fell a shower of flowers. It fairly rained roses and nearly everyone get a drop. At 11:30 the bride and groom, with a number of th'e guests, left en a special train of two cars for Phllade'p'ila, en route for New Orleans.

A new cede or rules for the Heuse will be presented by thecomtnllteo. McKlnlev will make hla report for the majority and Carlisle will offer a minority report. Several modifications proposed by Mr. Carlisle were made in Mr, Reed's cede, but the prevision for general legislation en appropriation bills and the emission or a rate giving privilege te motions te take a recess or te adjourn ever te a day set still remain te provoke the determined resist ance of the Democrats. The prevision fix lug one hundred ma quorum or the com mittee of the whole Heuse is retained, but there is net apt te be as much of a fight ever this. Though Speaker Reed did net succeed in getting the rule adopted while Mr. Carllsle was present, giving nlra authority te refuse te recognize dilatory motions, he suc ceeded, after Mr. Carlisle had retired, in getting the rule adopted, and It is new In the cede. Mr. Reed had te "backdewn" from his position tn favor of the lmmedlate consideration of reports from committees during the morning hour. Mr. Carllsle was In conference with Mr. Randall en Wednesday making modifies medifies modifies tlens in his minority report In accordance with the changes in the cede approved by the majority. The Democrats regard the forcing out or the rules and the modifications secured as a defeat for Mr. Reed and are consequently happy. There was talk among Republi cans or including In the cede a rule giving the speaker the right te rofuse te recognlze dilatory motions and te refuse te order the readings or a bill en demand or members, but no such previsions wero adopted at the meeting Wednesday night. The rule restoring the old morning hour is rotalped. Immediately after the adjournment of the Heuso Wednesday the Republicans went into caucus en the rules, Mr. Hendersen presiding. The reason for the call was stated and each member present was furnished in oenfldonce a copy of the new cedo. Mr. McKlnley then took the fleer and proceeded te explain In detail the scepe and purpese of oaeh of the rules. Generally the report of the commlttee was adopted without material amendment, but there was at least ene Important addi tion. Mr. Atkinson, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment placing pension legislation in the privileged class and making reports from the committee en In valid pensions ordered any time. Thore was a lively opposition te this amendinent and some members of the commlttee en rules sought te prevent Its adoption, but the amendment was finally Incoperatod by a vote of 70 te 21. Under rule 13, three calendars are pro vided for. First, en the commlttee of the whole, te which shall be roferred nubile bills; second, a Heuso calendar for all bills of a publle character net raising revenue nor directly or indirectly appropriating meney or property! third, a calendar of the commlttee of the whele Heuso for bills of a private character. Under ruie 15, a new clause la added, as follews: On the demand of any moinber the names or any mombera prosent but net voting en any call by the speakorer the yoes and nays shall be noted by the clerk under the supervision of the speaker and shall be recorded in the Journal and Jfccerd Immediately after the names of theso vot ing in tboafllrmatlveand negative under the head or" present and net voting," and shall be followed by the names or absent members which shall be entered under the head or absentees. Under rule 10 clause 4 reads : When a question is under dobate no motion shall be received but te adjourn, te lay en the table, for the pre vleus question (which mo tion shall be decided without dobate), te postpone te a day certaln, te rofer te or amend, or postpeno Indefinitely, which several motions shall, have precedence In the foregoing order; and no motion te post pone Indefinitely, being declded. shall be again allowed en the same day at the same stage of the proceeding. This section Is aimed at filibustering and ehanges the old sections by striking out of the motions which may be received theso te fix a day te which the Heuso shall adjourn and te take a recess. Se, tee, in soctlen 5 of the same rule, the previsions that the motions te adjourn te a llxed day, te ad journ and te take a recees shall always be In erder Is strlcken out. But soctlen 10, or the same rule. carries the princlple still further, for It Is a new section. The principle of proventlng obstruction Is again put in operation in rule 18. which is amended, as compared with the old cedo, by striking out of the questions that may Intervene between a motion te rocensldor and the vote these te adjourn te a fixed day and te takoarecess: soctlen 1 of the old rule 21. which roqulres alt bills and Joint resolutions te be read threo times be bo be fere passage, is stricken out ; section 2 or the same rule, forbidding the inclusion in general appropriation bills or appropria tion net previously authorized by law or or legislation, Is retained, with the addition of an exception In favor of "such as belng germane te the subject-matter or the bill shall be deemed necessary In providing for tiie carrying en the several departments or the government, aud shall be recom recem recom raended as moved by direction or the commlttee reporting the bill." Anether Important step te prevent fili bustering Is found iu rule 22, which has refeionce te the Introduction or bills Anether change or consequonco occurs in' rule 28, which roqulres a two-thirds vote te suspend a rule. Te this an addition is made as fellows : " Except te fix a day for the consideration of a bill or resolution already favorably reported by a commlttee, or motion directed te be made by such com cem com mitteo which shall requlre only a majority vote or the Heuse." The caucus remained in session until seven o'clock. The most Inviolable secrecy In regard te the proceedings was presorved and every effert was made te provent the action of the caucus becoming public. While it was Btated that en every quostlen presented the caucus was harmonious, the length of the session and the known oppo sition of Boveral prominent Republicans te any radical change In tbe rules render the accuracy of the statement doubtful. In fact it has been gathered that, far from being harmonious, the caucus at times was strongly worked up by the expression et totally dlvorgent opinions, and that this preposition Is the mera prebable ene Is evldenoed by the great care which was taken te prevent the facts being known.
