She is the only daughter and is one of the most universally popular girls who Tever held sceptered sway over both .men and women. She was "finished" Jat Hollins, Va., and is unusually clev er of speech, interesting and gifted, her music being of the sort that tugs . at the heart strings, or ripples with laughter as she wills. Her talents have not been confined to the circle which she graces so charmingly, but in Trinity Church she has been the inspiration of the choir and the right hand of the Rector's Aid Society, which was organized to do duty in any emergency of the parish. Mr. Laffoon is a successful business man, and a son of the late Jolk Laffoon, of Madisonville, Ky., who was in his day a power in politics in his. State. ' The bride entered with her father, to the familiar strains of the Mendels sohn Weddig March, heard through- out the rooms from the union of harps X .and viols. s Mr. Harry G. Raps, rector of the -Church of the Natfvity, Price Hill, at dhe time rector of St. John's Coving ton, officiated, Bishop Burton, of the diocese of Lexington, an old family friend, who was to have read the C Service at this wedding of oneof the ' fcfSbst devoted of his flock"being"alleS" away to officiate at the consecration of Dean Capers in San Antonio, and so was obliged to send his benedic , t tion. I The bride who is as tall and slim f as a lovely marsh flower bending to the wind, wore her wedding gown C with infinite grace. The long train 9 4 was intricately draped, and the bodice I was combined with wonderful old Honiton lace, an heirloom which had . served at the marriage of both her mother and her 'mother's sister, Mrs. Marshall, the wife of a descendant of the famous wit and jurist, Chief Jus tice Marshall, of Kentucky. It was brought around the waist in a little t coatee and caught up behind like but- -terfly's wings, a very charming effect About her throat was the groom's gilt, a chain of platinum and pearls beautifully set, with a flexible "drop" of diamonds. About her slender figure fell a veil of tulle, like the spray at sea, a turn-up ruffle of Honiton lace defining "her "brows, above which gold combs held her bright brown tresses in place. Her bouquet of gardenias and lillies of the valley "showered" in i a fragrant trip pie of green and white to the tip of h-r gold embroidered slipper. The only r 'i was the hride's ' . cousin, Miss k : Ent, Mr. and Mrs. Richard 32v ' ; only daughter, who was exquisite. tty in a gown that made her look 'k a French pastel, all light blue U -Jta, the skirt made of tiny ruffles of taffeta and lace, over which fell a draped tunic of taffeta. The bodice was combined with delicate shadow lace, and from the filmy tulle about the throat there fell a deep, full berthe as delicate as a cobweb. Her 'beautiful fair hair was worn in the new fashion, quite high, which suited her well, and her big bouquet was of pink roses and wonder ful sprays of white lilacs that seemed , to catch and keep the faint blush of the roses that 'accompanied them. Mr. Emmett Peebles was best man and the groomsmen were Mr. Sam Finnell and the" bride's brother, Mr. Harding Woodall. An informal reception followed the ceremony, the parents of the bride and the bridal party assisting. Mrs. Woodall, -who as Mary Brent, 'reigned a great belle in her day in Kentucky, is still a stately type of ,' the grande dame, carrying herself with the distinction that is an inherit- y&nce from many generations of South ern gentlepeople. Her gown was a lovely creation of white crepe, the skirt having a graceful insert of ac cordion plaited chiffon, where it sep- arated at the foot, and the hodice was enriched by much delicate lace, above which a stringcof pearls gleam- - ed softly. Her bouquet was of pink -rses. With the bride and bridegroom at the beautifully decorated table be sides their attendants were Miss Mary Faster, Miss Eleanor' Grant, Miss Lin- or Gooch, Mis Katherine Dalney, MiMS Edith Waters, M&Msrs. Emmett European Countries Asked Assist Mediate Between Mexico and U. S. CARRANZA ACCEPTS ' THE GOOD OFFICES Thanks Envoys for Efforts to Bring Peace Between the Republics. WASHINGTON, April 30. It was asserted here to-day on unquestionable authority that the South American en voys who are seeking to avert a crisis in Mexico have appealed to European governments for friendly offices to fa cilitate mediation between Mexico and the United States. The appeal, it was stated, did. not include a re quest, as reported abroad, that the powers use their influence upon Pres ident Wilson to name conditions which would insure success of the ne gotiations. It also was learned that a proposal to General Carranza, as head of "the Constitutionalists, to join the armis tice proposed between the "United States and Huerta, has been made by the mediating Envoys. The proposal was forwarded to General Carranza following his ac ceptance of the good offices of Brazil, Argentina and Chile, and is a part of the plan of the Envoys to secure a general cessation of Hostilities in all Mexico pending the mediation negoti ations. Carranza's entry into the first big" attempt of Fan-American diplomacy was confirmed early to-day by his ac ceptance in principle of the tender of thegood offices of, gentina, Brazil and Chile. His reply, forwardecTffom Chihuahua, thanked the envoys for their offer "in an attempt to solve in a peaceful and friendly way the dif ferences betwwen Mexico and the United States." It was pointed out that Carranza made no reference whatever to Mexi co's internal strife. Whether that might have any effect upon the re ported proposal of the mediators to ask for a cessation of hostilities be tween the Constitutionalists and Huerta's army could not be foreseen. STATE , ... " " : r . -. n GAME WARDENS MUST STUDY WASHINGTON, April 30. Secre tary Daniels said that he had not been officially notified of the Mexico City report that Manzanillo had been bombarded- by an American warship or that marines had been landed at Sa lina Cruz. He said he was in con stant communication with Rear Ad miral Howard, whose last report was that all was quiet on the Pacific coast. Still another report is that Federal officers had thrown the American Con sul at Frontera, in the State of Tobas co, into jail. VILLA ASSUMES ROLE OF DIC TATOR. EL PASO, Texas, April 30. Pancho Villa has moved his Brigada Villa. The State Game and Fish Commis sion in session, at Pineville for two days, concluded its business earlv j Tuesday afternoon, the most import ant of which was the establishment of a school of instruction for the paid wardens of the State, to be held at Frankfort in the form of a convention lasting three or four days during the summer months, the instruction to cover every branch of the business. The easiest and least expensive way to care for the inhabitants"6f the pre serve, especially the young, how to proceed when a poacher is caught, etc. It was decided to devote the ,funds and labor of the commission- during the coming year to inauguration of other preserves throughout the Staten along the sameline as the one in Belli county,, upon which eighteen deer! have been liberated, and where the members of the commission say they have 'found the conditions ideal. Only one addition was made to the number of wardens now on duty, and that was the appointment of Capt. F.v F. Freese, of Louisa, as special dep uty, or traveling warden. nounced that all the public of the State will be restocked with fish very shortly. The first consign5 ment of 10,000,000 of fish will reach Frankfort about May 10, and from there will be transported to the vari ous streams in cans, which have been purchased for the purpose. The ex pense incident to the transfer of the fish to the various -streams and their liberation therein will be borne by the commission, which has authorized J. Quincy Ward, executive agent, to make a special trip to the Fisheries Department at Washington, in order that he may in person secure the fish desired and attend to their speedy de liveiy. In restocking the streams a new method of procedure is to bo fol lowed, arid instead of granting the ap plications of various individuals to restock small portions of streams as has heretofore been done each stream will be thoroughly restocked for sixty or 100 miles. To create further inter est in the work a reward of $25 will be given for information leading to conviction of any person found dyna miting streams,, shooting fish or hunt ing without license.

In Chihuahua General Venustiano Carranza still acts as the head of the revolution, but' AmericnsarFlVftfg from Chihuahua say that he is with out authority, and that Villa has as sumed openly the role of dictator. With the possible exception of the forces of Maclovio Herrera and Man uel Chao, the rebel army is with Villa and will do his bidding, it is claimed. Notwithstanding Villa's attitude of friendliness toward the United States and the consideration which he is forcing rebels to show Americans in rebel territory, there is still a feeling of distrust on the border that Villa may be playing a game, and that his purpose really is to get the United States to lift the embargo on arms for the rebels. It is known that Villa has but little ammunition. Enough perhaps for a good battle but no more. Rebel ef forts are being industriously directed toward creating a favorable impres sion at Washington for the rebel cause while making conditional pur chases of ammunition, the condition being the prompt shipment of the mu nitions should the embargo be raised. There has been no relaxing of vig ilance by the United States army on the border at this point. NO HOSTILITIES DURING MEDI ATION. WASHINGTON, April 30.
