Hi (I Aftei' a terrible struggle, but without loss of
Hi IT life and without any very serious casualties on
Hjlfc either side, a new board of directors for the Coun-
H UL try Club to serve during the ensuing year was
H IT elected on Tuesday. .
H m Following a campaign conducted with all the
Hill energy of youth and wisdom of middle age, and
Hit! ne in which several makes of motor cars and
Hyl1 individual lino telephones were used to advan-
HjlP IngP. l"e party of progress won a second triumph,
HM; six of the noblest Romans were nominated, the
Hf nominations were closed, the six were sustained
HIk and it was all over in two shakes of a dead
HL lamb's proverbial tail.
Hit There was not a dissenting voice not even
H-jkf the Avireless from over the seas hurling a protest,
Hip or suggesting that it was bad form to hurry.
H J vIt was really a meeting of acceptance every
H 1 1 body was agreeable, everybody had a good time,
M i i and from the personnel of the new directors it
M I may be expected that the season of 1909 at the
1 1 Country Club will bo the one best bet. The min-
H j utes were accepted, the treasurer's report was
M '- accepted, a beautiful golf trophy, which Mr. Jack
al . ling had induced Mr. Tiffany to part with, was ac-
cepted, and the statement that came with it, to
-. the effect that it was to be the permanent prop-
B erty of the club, was joyfully accepted. Then a
H motion to elect by acclamation was accepted and
H tn victorious gentlemen who ran against Colonel
H Bogey were found to be D. C. Jackllng, C. W. Whit-
H lej , R 0. Gemmel, J. Frank Judge, Sam Neel, and
H' S. A. Whitney.
H And that's perfectly all right.

Hi, The marriage of Miss Mary Moore to Jasper
H . A. McCaskoll took place at the. home of Mr. and
Hl Mrs. Samuel Newhouse on Tuesday evening, and
H ' the beautiful house, whioh has been the scene of
H so many notable affairs, was never before the
H setting for such an array of beauty and bril
H H In pleasurable anticipation of the event, the
H friends of Miss Moore and McCaskoll have for
B, several weeks outdone one another in honoring
H them at entertainments of every description, and
m the interest aroused with the flrst ar uouncement
HH came to a most fitting culmination in the cere-
HH mony performed by the Rev. Father Kiely on
B Tuesday night.
m The bride was attended by her sister, Miss
M Geoigeida Mooic, as maid of honor; the brides
M maids were the Misses Anna and Genevieve Mc-
m Cornick and Mrs. Arthur Bird, Mrs. Frank Judge,
H Mis. L. B. McCornick and Mrs. J. J. Campbell were
H also of the bridal party. With Mr. McCaskell
M stood his brother, George McCaskell, and James
M Salisbury.
m On either side of the great arch of white roses
m and carnations, from which hung a wedding bell,
H were the relatives and intimate friends of the
w joung people, including, among others, Mr. and
B Mrs. Moore, Mrs. McCaskoll, Mr. and Mrs. New
M house, Mrs. M. A. Stlngley, Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
M McCornick, Mrs. Salisbury, Mr. and Mrs. Stingley,
M and many others, nearly two hundred friends
H being present to witness the ceremony and ex-
B tend their felicitations to Mr. and Mrs. McCaskell
H The charming bride never looked prettier and
H the fact that no particular color schome in dress
H was followed by her attendants gave an oppor-
H tunily for elaborate costumes that was most of-
H fective. AH of the ladies present had seemingly
H been limitless in their planning of costumes, and
H with a background oi hundreds of American Beau-
m ties, the result was very beautiful.
H Mr and Mrs. McCaskoll have gone to the coast,
H .ind will later sail for Honolulu, returning in the
H t-piing to make their ' e in this city.
The shocking death of Mrs. L. C. Tuckerman,
daughter of General and Mrs. A. C. Girard, news
of which came from Chicago early in the week
was a distinct shock to the friends of the Girard
family in this city. When General Girard, then
Major, was stationed hero with the SJxteenth, the
Glrards were among the most popular people
at the Past, and their home was the scene of
many society affairs. The Girard girls, who
at the time they were here, were Mrs. Steven
son, Mrs. Bush, (Mrs Tuckerman) and Miss
Violet Girard, were noted for their beauty and
were among the most prominent and popular
of army belles. Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Girard
lived here with their parents, and Mrs. Bush visit
ed the Post on several occasions. The Girards
remained at the Post after the Sixteenth ,eft,
and for some time after the coming of the Twenty-fourth
Infantry, and Mrs. Stevenson married
Lieutenant, now Captain I. C. Jenks of the Twenty
fourth. The marriage of Lieutenant Jenks and Mrs.
Stevenson was one of the largest and most fash
ionable affairs that ever took place at the Post,
and was remarkable for the fact that it caused
a great deal of comment in army circles owing
to the fact that theirs was the first wedding or
white people at which the ceremony was per
formed by a colored chaplain, the chaplain of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry officiating.
Miss Violet Girard was also married here to
Lieutenant Arthur Kerwin of the same regiment.

Mrs. Tuckerman who met with such a fear
ful accident at the hands of George Busse, the
brother of Fred A. Busse, the Mayor of Chicago,
in the Walton Apartments on Sunday evening
was an extremely beautiful woman of the tall
blonde tyre. The circumstances of the shooting
were particularly distressing as General and
Mrs. Girard had gone to Chicago to visit with
their daughter, whom they had not seen for some
time. They were to have accompanied Mrs.
Tuckerman to her home in New York on Tuesday.
Mrs. Tuckerman was formerly married to
Lieutenant Bush, who was stationed in San Fran
cisco just before the Spanish War, during the
bujldlng and equipment of the general hospital at
the Presidio, most of the work being done under
his direction. Later Mrs. Bush accompanied her
husband to the Philippines, where she met Tucker
man. Mrs. Bush and her husband had not been
congenial for some time, and upon her return
from the Philippines sho established her resi
dence in Reno, Nevada, where she secured a dl
vorce, among the charges being that her husband
was too religious. Her marriage to Tuckerman
followed shortly afterwards.
General Girard was one of the most noted of
ficers in the army, and after his retirement con
tinued in active work for some time, practicing
medicine and surgery. He has lately served in
the capacity of medical librarian at the John
Crerar Library, and Is a regular contributor to
the loading medical journals.

The sentiments of the kiddies are occasionally
worth repeating, and two that made their own
families merry recently are worth repeating.
A young man in a certain Brigham street home
went over to make a call on a new baby cousin
who arrived recently, and when, he heard that
the cousin was a boy, jumped for joy. "That's
fine," he remarked; "there's him and me, and
now all you need to do is get seven more, and
we'll have a baseball nino."
Two young misses, slightly older than the
youngsters above, were having a lively discussion
on marriage. One of them said: "I wouldn't
marry a gold man stuffed with diamonds."
The other got an inspiration and replied: "I
would, and kick) the stuffing out of him."
