Presents to Bride and Bride- groom Are Numerous and Costly. London. —With King Edward and Queen Alexandria smiling approval from their private gallery, Jean Reid, daughter of Whitelaw Reid, the Amer- jcan ambassador to England, was mar- ried in the Chapel Royal of St. James palace to Hon. John Hubert Ward, brother of the Earl of Dudley and equerry-in-waiting to the king. The ancient chapel, one of the few remains of the old palace of the Tu- dors, in which Queen Victoria and sev- eral of her dauchi‘ers were married, was prettily decorated with flowers for this, the most fashionable of rec- ent weddings in London. A great crowd assembled in St. James square to watch the arrival of | the bridal party and the king and queen and other members of the roy- al family. King and Queen Arrive. The invitations, which were limited ! to less than 100, on account of the | smallness of the church, set the time of arrival at 2:45 p. m., and by that hour all the guests had found their seats. A few minutes before 3 o'clock, King Edward and Queen Alexandria, accompanied by their suites, drove up from Buckingham palace and proceed- ed at once to the royal gallery, where the Prince and Princess of Wales, the | Duke and Duchess of Connaught and | Princess Patricia already had ar- rived. Rev. Edgar Sheppard, canon of St. reorge’s chapel, Windsor, officiated. He was assisted by Rev. William Grosvenor, rector of the Church of the Incarnation, New York, a church of which Mr. and Mrs. Reid had been member for many years, and Rev. Heirs Claughton, rector of Huttgn- Jrentwood, a cousin of the bride- groom. The Bride's Gown. The bride's dress was of soft white satin 4rimmed with old rose point lace given her by her grandmother. The fronts of the skirt and waist were practically covered with this beautiful lace. which was caught up with tiny white rosebuds and orange blossoms. The court train was of the same material as the dress and like it was trimmed with rose point Jace. The veil, too, had a lace cen- ter and edging and was held by a At Princeton | The Remains of Former President Cleveland Laid to Rest with- | | out Eulogy or Song. Princeton, N.

The last honors paid the dead statesman were strictly private both at Westland, the Cleveland private residence, and at the cemetery, in compliance with the wishes not only of Mrs. Cleveland, but those of Mr. Cleveland as well. Guardsmen were on duty merely to assist in policing the city and their presence was consented to by Mrs. Cleveland only cn the ground that it was proper to have a suitable guard for the President. Mrs. Cleveland had hoped to avoid anything of a mil- itary element in connection with the funeral. ‘ Agreeable to the wishes Cleveland the services, both at the house and at the cemetery were of the simplest character. An invoca- tion, scriptural reading, a brief y oT and the reading of William worth’s poem, “Character of the Hap- py Warrior,” constituted the services at the house, while the reading of the burial service at the grave was brief and impressive. The services at the house bezan at 5 o'clock and lasted about half an hour. The clergymen who conducted the ceremonies there and at the grave of ‘Mrs. — are the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton University; the Rev. Dr. William R. Richards, of the Brick Presbyterian church, New York; the Rev. Sylvester W. Beach, pastor cf the First Presbyterian Church cf Prince- ton, in which Mrs. Cleveland is a com- municant, and the Rev. Maitland K.

J.—Grover Cleveland, twice President of the United States, died at 8:40 o’clock on the morning of June 24, at his home, “Westland,” lin this city, where he had lived since his retirement as the nation’s chief executive, almost 12 years ago. When death came there were in the death chamber on the second floor of the Cleveland residence Mrs. Cleveland, Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York, Mr. Cleveland's family physician and personal friend; Dr. George R. Lockwood, also of New and Dr. John Carnochan of Princeton. An official statement given out and signed by the three physicians gave heart trouble, superinduced by stom- ach and kidney ailments of long standing, as the cause of death. While Mr. Cleveland has been in poor health for the last two years and had lest 100 pounds in weight, his death came unexpectedly. Some three weeks ago he was brought here from Lakewood, where his condition, for a time, was such that the hotel at which he was stay- ing was kept open after its regular season because Mr. Cleveland was too ill to be moved. brought back to Princeten he showed signs of improvement and actually gained five pounds in weight. | ders from headquarters to begin at once the constructicn of 70 locomo- tives of the highest type.

RACE RIOTS IN TEXAS Houston, Tex.—Nine negroes met death at the hands of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill, in Sabine coun- ty. At midnight Saturday 150 armed men marched to the jail at Hemphill and, after overpowering the jailor and guards, took out six negroes. Five were immediately strung up to nearby trees and the sixth, attempting to es- cape in fiight, was shot down. They had been jailed, charged with complicity in the murder of Hugh A. Dean, a white farmer. Burgha, Singleton, Hardi Evans and Henry Thomas, negrees, were found dead cn the roadside between Hemp- hill and Geneva, their bodies riddled with bullets. They too. were alleged to have had a hand in the plot to Kill Dean. Following the disclosures this morn- ing the farmers of the vicinity armed themselves with rifles and shotguns and pistols and started on a system- atic hunt after every negro of known bad tendencies. aturday last, Aarcn M. Jochns'on, a prominent farmer, was assassinated while seated at the dining table with his wife and child, the bullet being fired through a window. For this crime, Perry Price, a negro, was ar- rested. It is said Price confessed, implicat- | ing Robert Wright, a relative of one of the negroes held for Dean’s mur- der. Price declared he was offered $5 to kill Johnson. Following the lynching cf 10 negroes and the beating of 50 more, notices were issued that every negro must leave the country under penalty of death. A dozén or more white men charged with having instigated the negro depredations and murders were included in the number. Newton and San Lucas counties joined Sabine in its crusade against the negroes. Over 1,000 negroes crossed the lines | most of them going to Louisana. The militia and state rangers attempted to persuade the white men from this action, but they were overwhelmed | and had to confine their work to pre-| vent open fights. Arms were found | SOLDIERS HELP TQ FIGHT FIRE, Narrow Streets and Lack of Efficient Fire Protection Added to the Difficulty. Three Rivers, Que.—Fanned by a high wind, a fire which broke out shortly before noon in a stable was not checked until the greater part of the lower town, containing the busi- ness section of the city, had been consumed. Then with the assistance of fire- men summoned by special train from Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Grand Mere, it was held in check. Al- most every building of any conse- quence in that section of the city was destroyed, including the postoffice, the city hall, every hotel worthy of the name with one exception, the fine building of the Hochelage bank and al- most all of the leading stores. Over three hundred buildings were burned. The narrow streets of the town and the inflammable nature of many of the buildings in the path of the fire rendered the task of the fire- men an almost impossible cne. Outside the town is located the camp of the sixth military district, and soon after the fire started 1,000 men were sent to help fight the flames. The local brigade was en- tirely ineffective when it came to cop- ing with a conflagration and the sol- diers rendered the best assistance they could, but their bucket brigade was not equal to the task. The loss will’ be considerably over a million dollars, and it is stated that the insurance companies will be hard hit, though none of them will lose any S : tomize.
