LADY OECIES NOW.
Thousands Crowd Streets
to See Wedding Party.
HONEYMOON ON RIVER NILE.
In St. Bartholomew's Church, Amid
Elaborate Floral Decorations, Vivien
Gould Becomes Bride of Lord
Deoies Police Keep Guard.
New York, Feb. 8. Miss Vivien
Gould, second daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George Gould and a granddaugh
ter of the late Juy Gould, Is now Lady
Decles. The ceremony that united her
with Colonel John Graham Hope
Ilorsloy-lteresford, D. S. O., fifth Bar
on Defies, was performed by Bishop
Davjd II. Greer of the diocese of Now
York, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Leigh
ton n. Parks, rector of St. Bartholo
mew's church.
Outside of St. Bartholomew's there
was a notable absence of confusion
and of the crowding excitement which
accompanied (he wedding of Marjorie
Gould to Anthony J. Droxel, Jr., last
April. The police kept the situation
well In hand, and, although there was
some objection made to the arbitrary
closing of Madison avenue to foot and
heavy vehicle traffic, the scheme at
least saved the disorder which other
wise would have resulted.
The police ollicers and men arrived
on the scene three hours before the
wedding. At that time there were al
ready a thousand or so men and wo
men, mostly the latter, in the street in
front of the church and extending
around the corner into Forty-fourth
street. The space iu front of the
church was cleared. The lines beyond
which only those possessing cards to
Hie church or credentials from the po
lice department could go loft prac
tically a block free in all directions
from the church and prevented jos
tling to get close to the bridal party
except -when it was safely ensconced
In its carriages.
It was getting along toward the wed
ding hour when the first of the maroon
colored closed automobiles of the Gould
family arrived. The crowd to the north
and west of the church noted the big
white Mowers in the buttonholes of the
chauffeurs and grooms and crowded a
bit to try to get a peak Inside. Tin'
bridesmaids wore objects of interest,
which caused more crowding, and then
came a car from which stepped Miss
Edith Gould, the maid of honor; Diana
Dalzlel, one of the flower girls, and
then little Miss Gloria Gould appeared
in the doorway of the machine. A ma
roon liveried groom picked little Miss
Gloria up in his arms and deposited
her snfo and witli dress unsoiled on
the steps of the church.
Mrs. George .1. Gould and Kingdon
and Jay Gould all passed the same
long distance scrutiny. Then there
was a pause while the ordinary guests,
In whom the crowds were not intense
ly interested, kept filing into the
church. Half n dozen mounted police
men came cantering down Madison
avenue shooing traffic out of the way,
and behind them came the last of the
Gould machines containing the bride
nd her father, George J. Gould. Mr.
Gould handed his daughter from the
carriage in such a way that the bat
tery of photographers stretched this
way and that to get a good shot at
her, but she did not rush Into the
church and, without turning, heard a
dozen or more shutters click before shr
reached the stops.
The crowd waited quietly enough foi
the return to the street of the party
on which the bronze doors had closed.
Some of the watchers on the outskirtf
of the crowd decided by this time thai
there was not much use in hanging
around at that distance and moved
along on their own affairs. The deser
tions reduced the pressure on the front
ranks and made the task of the police
still easier. When quick activity of
the policemen on the street indicated
that the service was over, one of the
maroou automobiles stopped in front
of the center opening of tho tent, a
lane was cleared through those privi
leged to enter its limits, and then the
bronze door was thrown back. Ladv
Decles stood in tho doorway, leisurely
arranging her wraps. These fixed to
her satisfaction, she came out, follow
ed by Lord Decles. The crowd got
tho most Hooting sort of a fleeting
glimpse of them nnd they stepped in
to the carriage which turned west into
Forty-third street, through a lane cut
out by the mounted men, and again
,turned north at Fifth avenue on its
way to the Gould home. The othei
Gould carriages were watched as they
took the same course and, so far as the
crowd about St. Bartholomew's was
concerned, the wedding was over.
After tho ceremony there was a re
ception for a limited number at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Gould, 857
Fifth avenue, and later Lord and Lady
Decles left in a private car for Palm
Beach, near which place they will
spend the first week of their honey
moon in a villa owned by a friend ot
tho bride's father. Then a short stay
Vill be made at the Jekyll Island club,
ft Is understood, and Lord and Lndy
Decles will spend a short time at
Georgian court beforo sailing foi
Egypt on tho Carmania Feb. 18. They
will spend two months ou or about the
Ule before going to London for tup
opening of the season that is to Mj

BRIiE OF LOUD C
Vivici Gould Leaving Church
After r'arnao to Nobleman.
-m --.y. ; SJk
1911, by American Press Association.
The decorators hnd used spring shrubs,
lilac, forsuthla, dowering crab apples,
azaleas and hyacinths in profusion for
the chancel. From the high ceiling de
pended great festoons of asparagus
plumosa. About the columns wns Eng
lish ivy, and ulong the walls were
wreaths of Alabama smilax. Then
near the chancel rail was an abun- i
dance of palms. But the most effec
tive of the whole decorations in the
opinion of many were tho great torch
es of Jnpancse calla and rose colored
lilies that were placed at the end of
each pew. The general effect of the
whole was of white and green, though
here and there wns a touch of color.
After tho wedding party had driven
away a roan horse attached to a car
riage being driven toward Fifth ave
nue took fright at the awning in front
of the Gould house and careened and
hulked and turned on its haunches in
a complete circle, throwing the car
riage against n pile of bricks outside
the Gary house. The occupants, two
women, screamed, and two policemen
grabbed the horse's bridle and led
him up to the curb. News was sent
In to the Gould house that Mrs. King
don, grandmother of the bride, was ill
outside. Two butlers, assisted by a
police inspector, helped Mrs. Kingdon
out of her carriage in a fainting con
dition nnd into the house, where a phy
sician was called. Mrs. Kingdon wns
taken 111 ou the way from her home.

Brother of Uady Decies and Miss Anna
D. Graham Are Engaged.
New York, Feb. 8. In spite of de
nials, it became known that the en
gagement of Jay Gould to Miss Annn
Douglass Graham is a fact. It was
Intended that the announcement should
be deferred until after the marriage
of Miss Vivien Gould, but relatives
and friends of the young people have
been told. An injunction of secrecy
was laid, but this somebody neglected
to heed; hence the premature an
nouncement of last week.
Miss Graham was chosen to be a
bridesmaid when Miss Clafiin became
ill a day or two ago, and she and her
fiance were receiving congratulations
after the wedding.

PROSPERITY IN
FREEJLSBRARIES
Every Town Should Be In Pos
session of One.
CONDITIONS OF CARNEGIE
Why Some People Are Against the
Acceptance of Libraries From the
Steel King Most Cities Now Have
Libraries Majority Given as Gifts.
There is no doubt that where there
Is a free circulating library there is an
intelligent community. Every town,
whether it lias 400 or 10,000 popula
tion, should furnish some sort of cen
ter where the inhabitants can procuro
an Insight into the labors of the mighty
nnd know what is going on In the
world to Increase knowledge.
Tho great majority of cities of 25,
000 inhabitants and upward in the
United States, says a New York edu
cator, have a public library of some
sort, and the same is true of many of
the smaller cities and towns. But
there are still quite a number of towns
that are minus them, towns that really
need them. A few public spirited citi
zens could easily advocate a library
MODEL LIB1IARY BUILDINGS.
or reading room nnd get the support
of the rest of the community If not of
the town itself.
Books will always be forthcoming
either from the shelves of individual
libraries or from contributions solicited
through various means. Tho newspa
pers will always help their town to
gain the financial support of the cit-
zens
Many of the libraries already estab-,
llshcd have boon founded on gifts of
individuals, some have duvelopcd from
subscription libraries, but the majority
are now supported mainly or entirely
by funds appropriated by the city
government. A considerable number
are still In the formative stage, this
being true of those for which build
ings are being erected from funds
provided by Mr. Carnegie and for
several uuudred others for which he
will probably provide buildings.
Tlie conditions upon which ho pro
vides funds for the erection of munic
ipal library buildings are simple. Tho
city must provide a site, which it may
obtain by gift if it can, and it must
agree to provide annually for the main
tenance of the library a sum equal
to at least 10 per cent of the cost of
tho building. Practically this offer is
open to any city or town which has no
public library building.
Some good citizens think that the
city should provide its own building
and not ask for it as a gift
The people who have no taxable
property and who therefore often erro
neously suppose that they contribute
nothing toward the payment of the
taxes are usually quite willing to havo
a higher tax rate imposed for the pur
pose of securing for themselves and
their families free library facilities,
although in exceptional cases religious
or sociological opinions may lead them
to opposo it.
A considerable number of taxpayers
are more or less reluctant to have their
assessments increased for this purpose.
They say:
First. That they should not be tax
ed for things they do not want and
never use.
Second. That tho furnishing free
books tends to pauperize the commu
nity and to discourage tho purchase of
hooks for home use.
Third. That there is no evidenco
that free public libraries improve tho
community materially or morally.
Fourth. That the greater part of tho
books used are works of fiction, nnd
that these are injurious to the readers.
Fifth. -That most of the arguments
used In favor of free public libraries
are merely sentimental and emotional
and that those who urge them most
strongly do so for advertising and po
litical reasons or to make a place for
themselves or some of their relatives
While it is difficult to trnce to either
specific instances of material or moral
improvement. It is certain that the
general dlf uslon of Intelligence which
fcoth certainly effect does result bene
ilclally In those directions. Communl
Jes with flourishing freo schools and
libraries are usually more prosperous
and better thn those without such
facilities, anfl while there is doubtless
room here for a confusion of cause
and effect It Is probable that there la
both action and reaction. Prosperity
calls for Increased facilities for edu
cation, and these In turn tend to make
the community more prosperous.'

A Tabor Story.
Count Boyenta, Mme. Modjeska's
husband, was arranging with Senator
Tabor for Modjeska's first appearance
in Denver, and the founder of dramat
ic art in Denver asked what parts she
played.
"Well," said the count, "there 13
'Mary Stuart.' "
"Who wrote itV" asked Tabor.
"Schiller," said the count.
"Is he a first class dramatist?" ask
ed Tabor.
"Surely, surely," said the count,
"lie is most illustrious."
"Humph! Never heard of hlra,"
commented Tabor. "What else does
she do?"
" 'As You Like It,' 'Antony and Cle
opatra,' 'Macbeth' "
, "Who wrote them?"
"Shakespeare."
"How's he? Good writer?"
"Excellent, excellent."
"Well," said Tabor rumlnatlvely.
"those fellows may be all right as au
thors, but they ain't well enough
known to suit the people out here.
What we want is something popular.
something that everybody's heard of.
I tell you what you do you get her to
give us something of noyt's!"
Fearful Fate of Ravaillac.
In those days when executions. If
held nt all, are mostly carried out in
private, it Is difficult for us to under
stand the feelings of savagery witli
which an old time mob witnessed a
popular execution. Here is Bloundelle
Burton's account from "Tho Fate of
nenry of Navarre" of the scene wheu
Uavalllac, the assassin of the king,
had, after shocking tortures, been torn
asunder by wild horses: "The execu
tioner had begun to dismember him
and was about to cast his remains into
the second caldron when the vast
crowd prevented him from doing so.
They each required a portion of tho
body of the king's assassin, and most
of them obtained one. That night
many bonfires blazed in and around
Paris, nnd In their midst were con
sumed pieces of Itavalllac's frame; on
barn doors in other places were nailed
similar scraps of his body, as hawks
and owls nnd carrion crows were nail
ed as a warning to others of their
breed."
THE SUFFRAGETTE'S
72 YEARS REQUirO FCR
LETTER TO GO 235 MILES
No Explanation In Sight For Delayod
Journey of Missive.
If it takes a letter seventy-two years
to travel 330 miles aud both the writei
and the addressee are dead when Un
cle Sam at last gets around to deliv
ery, how long will It take a postcard to
make the journey? This is puzzling not
only Nnthan Warren, the postmaster
at Yonkers, N. Y., but Mrs. Walter
Paddock of the same place, who re
cently received a letter mailed from
Geneva, N. Y.r in 1838, directed to the
great-uncle of her husband, D. O. Pad
dock, who has lcen dead forty years.
Mrs. Paddock says the letter was
written by Peter Beatty and concern
ed the shipment of a consignment of
lumber. Mr. Beatty informed Mr. Pad
dock that lie would remit $2,000 on re
ceipt of the lumber. Whether Mr. Pad
dock shipped the lumber or not is
likely to remain as great a mystery as
the history of the letter from April 20,
1838, until it turned up nt the Syra
cuse postofllce on Dec. 27 last.
It is faded with age and instead of
being inclosed in an envelope was fold
ed square, witli the edges pasted to
gether. It nnd apparently never been
in the dead letter olllce.
FARTHEST NORTH IN THE WAR
Place of Morgan's Surrender Marked
by Monument.
A monument has recently been put.
in place oil the Crubnugh farm In Co
lumbiana county, O.,. which marks the
farthest northern point reached by
the Confederate forces during the civil
war.
It also marks the spot where General
John H. Morgan, the famous southern
leader, surrendered. Many will not
realize without looking nt tho map
that Wellsville is north of Gettys
burg. For many years nn old locust tree
marked the place of surrender, but a
short time ago it died aud was cut
down, the stump being taken to East
Liverpool, O., and placed in the public
library for safe keeping as a historical
relic.
It was' the Idea of the late W. L.
Thompson, a well known song writer,
who lived near the scene of the light,
to erect a monument to mnrk the spot.
He bad a fund well started when he
suddenly died, but his friends took up
the work and carried It through.
A huge granite bowlder was put in
place last year, but it wns not until
a few weeks ago that the bronze tablet
was put In place and the monument
dedicated.
The tablet bears this inscription:
"This stone marks the spot where
the Confederate raider General John
H. Morgan surrendered his command
!o Major George W. Rue July 20, 18(53,
and is tho farthest point north ever
.eached by any body of Confederate
troops during the civil war."
Grant and Pickett.
Now evidence that the great men
are the true men true to themselves.
to their country nnd to their friends
appears in a story told In Colonel Nich
olas Smith's book, "Grant, the- Man of
Mystery."
Willie Grant was president General
G. E. Pickett, who led the fntal charge
against the Union forces the last day
at Gettysburg, called at the White
House to pay his respects. Grant knew
that his old comrade at West Point
had been made a poor man by the
war and offered him the marshalsbip
of Virginia. While sorely needing help.
General Pickett knew the heavy draft
made upon the president by. office seek
ers.
"You can't afford to do this for me,'
lie said, "and I can't afford to take it.'
"I can afford to do anything I please
that Is right," Grant replied quietly.
Japan's Railway Improvements.
It will cost $115,000,000 to widen the
gauge of the railway from Tokyo to
Shimonosekl, a distance of 704 miles.
IVith this work completed Japan's
end of what may be called the Inter
national railways, viz those extend
lng from Calais to Tokyo will ap
proximate 1,(100 miles, inclusive of the
sea trip across the strait from Shi
monoseki to Fusan, for which largo
steamers nre now being built.
