Miss Mabel "Wilson Married to
Mr. Cland Butlin.
House Beautifully Decorated
With Norel Effect.
LEAVE FOR MEXICO.
Young Couple Will Lire In the
Mexican Metropolis.
Notes of a Social and Personal
Nature.
About two hundred relatives and
friends assembled at the residence of
Mrs. J. C. Wiison, on Topeka avenue.
Wednesday evening, to witness the mar
riage of her eldest daughter. Mabel, to
Mr. Claud Marsh Butlin, of the City
of Mexico. Miss Wilson is one of the
most popular of Topeka's society girls,
and her marriage has been looked for
ward to with eager interest on the part
of her friends.
The house was exquisitely pretty with
Ha decorations of luxuriant wild bam
boo and white chrysanthemums. In the
hall and on the staircase were palms and
tiie railing was almost hidden by masses
of the bamboo. Wild bamboo was
massed over the. doors, windows and on
the mantles, while garlands of it ex
tended from the coiners if the rooms
to the chandeliers. The wail in the sec
ond parlor, which formed a background
lor the bridal party, was one mass of
bamboo, studded across the top with
white chrysanthemums and incandes
cent lights.
In the dinmg room, where refresh
ments were served after the ceremony,
green and white also prevailed. On the
polished table was a pretty square of
Mexican drawn work and a gold-framed
mirror plateau which reflected a cut
glass vase overflowing with white
chrysanthemums. The chandelier was
wound with asparagus fern and extend
ing from this to the corners of the table
was misty white illusion. On the side
board and mantle were asparagus ferns
and white flowers. Oreen and w hite bon
bons were on the corners of the table
in cut glass dishes.
Preceding the ceremony Miss Emily
King sang the "Ae Maria" from "Cav
alleria Rusticana," the words written by
FYancis Fischer Powers. Miss King
wore a becoming gown of white point
de sprit.
As Steinberg's orchestra, stationed in
an alcove of the front hall, sounded the
l.oherigrin bridal chorus. Miss Josephine
iay and Miss Dorothy Wilson, the rib
bon girls, appeared at the head of the
stairs bearing the ribbons forming an
aisle for the bridal party. Following
them was little Miss Ruth Wilson, who
held the bride's bouquet. The ushers,
Mr. Everett Dallas and Mr. Ed Mc
Bride, walked in front of the brides
maids, Miss Patricia Butlin and Miss
Abby Ware. Miss Hflen Wilson, the
maid of honor, preceded the bride, who
was accompanied by her brother-in-law.
Judge J. H. Furry, who gave her away.
Mr. Butlin and his best man, Mr. Ralph
Moore, entered from a rear door and
met them in front of the screen, where
the ceremony was performed by Dr. J.
T. McFarland. of the First Methodist
church. During the ceremony the or
chestra played "La Golandrina," a Mex
ican composition.
The bride wore a rich gown of white
chiffonette over white peau de soie.
The simple bodice had a low neck out
lined with duchess lace. The long veil
which fell to the end of her train was
held in place with a single ostrich
feather. She wore moonstone ornaments
and carried bride roses.
The bride's attendants wore Nile green,
Filk mull costumes. trimmed with
ruchlngs or white chiffon. Around the
trained skirts were circular flounces
leaded with deep pointed lace insertion.
The bodices were low recked with long
sleeves and had pretty lace boleros. All
carried white chrysanthemums. The lit
tle girls wore fiuffy organdy frocks.
The bride gave to her three older at
tendants pretty chatelaine powder boxes
and to the little girls stick pins in the
shape of wishbones. Mr. Butlin gave
his groomsman opal scarf pins.
Receiving the guests were Mrs. J. C.
Wilson, Mrs. Braggeotti of the City of
Mexico, Mrs. J. B. Furry, Miss Clarissa
Briggs and Miss Lutie Briggs of Atchi-

"WHO ARE ALWAYS TIRED.
" I do not feel -very well, I am so
tired all the time. I do not know what
is the matter with, me."
You hear these words every day ; aa
often as you meet your friends just so
often are these words repeated. More
than likely you speak the same signifi
cant words yourself, and no doubt you
do feel far from well most of the time.

cream lace.

A Topeka man out hunting a few days

when the owner of the gun slipped and

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
One May Be Held In Topeka Next
Spring.
The Auditorium committee of the
Commercial club which has charge of
the matter of raising the money to pay
for the seats in the Auditorium met this
afternoon at the Commercial club rooms
at 3 o'clock to discuss ways and means.
One of the items which was discussed
was the holding of a musical festival
here in the spring.
The Auditorium would furnish a place
to hold as large a crowd as would at
tend. The plan for the musical festival
is to not offer cash prizes in certain
classes, as is the custom at the Hutch
inson musical festival, but let each town
that wants send a chorus to be judged
by competent critics. All those getting
a score of say 80 out of & possible 100
points would receive their railroad fare,
or something of that nature. Each
chorus would have the privilege of mak
ing their own selections in music.
The committee also took up the propo
sition of Scot Tourney, manager of the
Hoover family. The Hoover family has
won something of a reputation in local
musical circles, and they propose to
give a concert at the Auditorium and
allow the commute to charge what
ever they see nt and turn over all the
door receipts for the benefit of the seat
ing fund. The Hoover family will
probably go on the road professionally
in the near future, and it is considered
that any advertising secured in this
manner will be of use to them in start
ing in their professional career.

LITTLE YANKEE JOCKEYS
Praised For Excellent Work oa Eng
. lish Turf.
New Tork, Oct. IS. Several prominent
race horse owners express decided opin
ions on Lord Durham's criticisms in re
gard to American owners, trainers and
jockeys. It is the main topic of conver
sation at the Morris Park course.
"I don't think," said Richard Croker.
"that Lord Durham is right. English
boys have the same chance to learn the
American style of riding as our boys
have. We would be quick enough to
follow English style out here if English
jockeys taught us anything. There ought
to be no restrictions as to nationality. I
suppose American trainers will not be
able to get any more licenses to train at
Newmarket. Superiority of American
jockeys consists in putting the saddle
forward and the crouching attitude,
which offer9 less wind resistance, and
that can be copied. Depend upon it, the
English boys will have to come to it."
David Gideon said:
"I think Lord Durham's criticism Is
entirely uncalled for. Any boy that does
wrong should be punished, be he Amer
ican or Scotchman."
"Lord Durham must have facts to
support him in such harah criticism,"
said F R. Hitchcock. "American boys
have behaved no worse than English
boys."
R. C. Hopper, who races under the
name of Mr. Chamblet, said:
"Perhaps if Lord Durham paid a lit
tle more attention to English jockeys
he would not make Buch scathing re
marks about others."
"T think Lord Durham's remarks are
made for effect," said T. Hitchcock, Jr.
"The best answer is that American boys
are still in demand."
Arthur Featherstone said:
"They have the rules; if our boys do
wrong punish them. Patriotic English
men don't like to be beaten. I think
Lord Durham has made a mistake."
PATHOS AND MELODRAMA.
"At Piney Ridge" Met All the Re
quirements Last Night
Built upon the backbone of the honor
of the south, with touches of its tradi
tions, its superstitions, its pathos and its
humor, David Higgins' southern play
"At Finey Ridge" is full of charm and
merit. It had great metropolitan suc
cess because its portrayal of life is close
to the soil. In the hands of a capable
company at the Crawford last night it
gave pleasure to a fair audience of To
peka people.
Albert Perry was a dashing "Jack
Rose," who was ready to renounce his
sweetheart because he could not clear
his name of the stain that he was taint
ed with negro blood. The villain Was a
weak creature, and not much of a villain
after all, for not once in the course of
the play did he have a chance to gloat
over his misdeeds. He had his hands full
of trouble from the first trying to palm
off his villainy upon the hero, who with
the openness and frankness of the moun
taineer balked Mark Briarson's game at
every turn. Twice he saved General
Deering's bank when his thieving cashier
robbed it. When the hero gained the
love of Asalie from Briarson, the villain
sprung his trump card of ignoble birth.
Jack Rose claims a case of substitution,
but without proofs. It was a climactic
point.
"It's a lie," said Briarson passionately.
"You are no gentleman," the thorough
ly aroused Rose controlled himself
enough to say.
"Take that!" shouted a voice in the
gallery in exultant appreciation.
The gallery took to the play immense
ly. , In the succeeding intermission it got
up a wrangle over it, but kept it in good
natured moods.
The company is to be credited with
presenting the southern atmosphere
throughout, including the dialect and
the quaint inflections and intonations.
Evelyn Patter played opposite to Mr.
Perry, giving a delicious charm to the
proud but lovable daughter of an hon
ored family, and balancing the fine work
of the lead. Kathryn Angus did well in
the difficult role of Cindy Lane. Nellie
V. Nichols cake walked into favor from
among the comedy parts. She was cast
as a "yaller gal" and did not require
much make-up to fill it. Her coon songs
made a hit, deservedly. Aside from an
inevitable weak spot or two "At Piney
Ridge" was very cleverly produced.
The story and lesson of "At Piney
Ridge" is a most striking one. It has
been told before but its pathos is never
abated. It has been told in "Fuddin"
head Wilson." It gets constant telling
without words from the pulpit of St.
Stephen's Episcopal church in Philadel
phia, whose rector is a eprfect double
for Israel Zangwill, but his lot is cast
with the colored people, even if it be as
shepherd of its wealthiest flock. His
countenance appears of purest Cau
casian, and the sad "expression of it is
the constant sermon that emanates from
his pulpit though his lips do not utter it,
DAWES IN OHIO.
Kansan Assigned Bates at Old Home
In Buckeye State.
The Republican national committee
has assigned B. F. Dawes, ex-attorney
general of Kansas, to a week of speech
making in Ohio. Mr. Dawes leaves
Kansas City Sunday and will spend all
of next week in the Buckeye state.
There is a striking coincidence in con
nection with this visit of Mr. Dawes to
Ohio, his native state. The national
committee gave Mr. Oawes two dates,
net knowing anything of his previous
history. When Mr. Dawes received the
assignment he was greatly surprised to
note that one was at the birthplace of
his father, the other at the birthplace
of his mother, but in different counties.
Then the national committee was in
formed concerning the eloquence of Mr.
Dawes and his pathetic discussion of the
Philippine subject, and immediately re
quested him to spend more time in
Ohio.
Mr. Dawes had but four dates open,
being billed in Kansas until the night
before election, but these were accepted
bv the national committee by wire and
the trip for next week was complete.
Mr. Dawes is one of the best speakers
representing the state committee this
year.
WATCHING LIPTON.
American Tacht Builders oa the Alert
to Save the Cup.
New Tork, Oct! 18. Considerable in
terest is taken in naval circles in Wash
ington, says a Herald special, as to the
characteristics of the new defender, to
be built to compete with the yacht Sir
Thomas Lipton will send to the United
States to "lift tne America s cup.
Rear Admiral Hichoorn, chief con-
strutor, said:
The time intervening Between tne last
race for the America's cup and the race
now contemplating has not been lost by
our designers. The 70 foot 'Yankee class"
which were built by the Hereshoft com
pany, and which were so thoroughly
tried in the many competitions during
the last summer, has kept the minds of
yachtsmen and designers alert to take
advantage of any possible improve
ments. 'If. when the trials of Shamrocks No.
1 and 2 are held, it is found that the
last boat is better than the first, I be
lieve that our designers will be able to
improve the Columbia, or build an im
proved Columbia which shall successful
ly defend the cup.
WAITING ON ELECTION.
Business ia Iron Trade Circles is
DulL
New Tork, Oct. 18. The Iron Age in
its current issue, reviewing the market,
says:
Generally speaking, the markets are
quiet, a fact which is quite universally
attributed to the desire on the part of
buyers toawait developments In the presi
dential election. In ordinary years this
is the period in which a determined
struggle Is made for winter work for the
rolling mills. While that has been se
cured in some branches, aa in the bar
trades, where prices were sharply cut,
it is not on the order books in other de
partments. By the middle of November'
it will le clear whether the volume of
orders held back by buyers and distrib
utors will be great enough to comfort
ably fill the big plants and give the little
mills a good tonnage in addition. Nat
urally the great organizations are se
curing the bulk of the business, much of
it through long time contracts with
manufacturing consumers and allied in
terests. They all follow the axiom that
running to full capacity is the first con
sideration. Pittsburg reports a somewhat firmer
tone in the pig iron market, although
the volume of transactions is so- light
that the slightest pressure to market
product might turn the scale. In the
east the largest transaction appears to
have been a sale of 4,000 tons of basic
pig to an eastern Pennsylvania mill at
$14 delivered. Steel billets are nominal
all over the country. It is noticeable that
the price of open hearth billets is more
and more approaching that of Bessemer
billets, a natural result of the greatly
increased capacity for Siemens steel.
In the steel rail trade the announce
ment has been made that the Pennsyl
vania railroad has decided to buy 150,
000 tons for next year's delivery. So far
as we can learn, however, the allotment
of even a part of the work has not yet
been made to the individual mills. To
the outside observer it seems difficult to
understand why the roads should be in
a hurry to place their orders now for
distant deliveries.
In the plate trade a slightly easier
tone is noted. Chicago reports a sale
of 2,000 tons of universal plates to a local
firm of merchants. In structural steel
it is understood that the leading inter
ests have contracts in such abundance
that capacity is engaged for many
months to come. The capture of the
East River bridge work by the Pennsyl
vania Steel company involves about 20,
000 tons of material, of which a consid
erable part will go to Pittsburg. It is
likely that at an early date there may be
some notable contracts for foreign de
livery. Reports from the principal makers of
bars and hoops agree in reporting a
very active business and sellers are in
clined to be cautious about further com
mitments at present prices. It was be
lieved that there might be some trouble
in supplying the Union mills when
starting with the necessary specifica
tions, in spite of accumulated orders. It
is developing, however, that new busi
ness is coming along in an unexpectedly
liberal manner.
The cast iron pipe trade in the east Is
very quiet and competition between the
consolidation and the outside shops is
very keen. Chicago reports the sale of
an 8,000 ton lot to a railroad company.
Relatively little new business is being
taken for export, but the large concerns
are more and more preparing for this
branch as a permanent feature of their
work.

for the Moral and Physical Improve
ment of Young Men," an organization

v,i .-.it-i,- accictpd hv one nf the larfiT-
est of St. Petersburg's wonderful male
choirs. There were several speeches in
Russian, but that of James Stokes was
in foliuh Tn tht entire of his remarks
Mr. Stokes referred to the historical
cause of the bond of union between Rus
sia and the United States, caused by
the former sending her fleet of war
vessels to the United States during the
darkest hour of the civil war, which act
it was claimed prevented the recognition
of the southern confederacy by England.
Among those present were a number
of the members of the imperial court,
Herbert H. D. Pierce, charge d'affaires;
Secretary Hagerman, Military Attache
Slocum, and the ladies of the United
States embassy. The American consul

A CYCLE TOURIST
From Aspen, Colorado, Reaches New
York: In Thirty Days.
New Tork, Oct. 18. Thomas J. Cor
coran, of Aspen. 300 miles northwest of
Denver, who is riding a wheel from Den
ver to Boston, has arrived in New York
after averaging 70 miles a day for 30
days. Corcoran starts for Boston tomor
row. Corcoran left Aspen on August 14 and
has made his ride alone.
A ten pound baggage roll was his soie
incumbrance, as he did not even carry
a tool bag. The run to Denver was the
hardest of his trip, it being over a steep
mountain trail. His route has led him
through Topeka, St. Joseph. Quincy,
Springfield, Indianapolis. Detroit, Niag
ara, Albany, and down the Hudson river
valley to New York.
Corcoran does not attempt to break or
make a record for speed. He expressed
his luggage from point to point, lived
comfortably and rested whenever he felt
tired. His longest day's run was 103
miles, made over the prairies of Kansas.
He is going to ride back to Aspen after
a four days' rest in Boston.

Officer.- in the army don't favor the ap

Oeneral Kitchener to the war office. Mr.
Haron. when he was in London as the
champion of the Australian federation,
made no secret of his preference fur Mr.
Chamberlain as the Kimli.-h Htatr-srnun
who could render the reate4t service to
the cause of imperial federation. He ba
Heves that Mr. Chamberlain, If allowed to
remain for a recond term in the colonial
office, would carry out fome practical
scheme by whfrh the self-overninx col
onies of the empire would have a perma

leagues connldered an Imperial z iJlven in
practicable, but they were convinced that
some approach, to imperial federation
would be made as a direct result of the
co-operation of the colonies of bouth Af

WE FOLLOW GERMANY.
America Must Have as Large a
Navy as Emperor William.
New York, Oct. 18. Germany's great
naval Increase will play an Important
part In the determination of rtie recom
mendation for new vessels which the
naval board on construction will submit
to Secretary Long, says the Washington
correspondent of the Herald. This board
has commenced an Informal discussion
of the programme which the secretary is
to submit to congress and views ex
pressed by several members showed that
they are taking Into consideration the
navy Emperor William is building. All
of the members desire tha.1 this novern
ment shall have a navy at least the size
of that of Oerraany, and some favor a
fieet which shall make the United States
the third naval power of tha world. It
is appreciated that It is impossible for
this government to provide a fleet supe
rior to the navies of Oreat Britain and
France, but they hold that it should be
the equal of Russia and Germany oa the
seas.
During the discussion some of the
members urged that battleships only be
recommended for construction, and that
enough be provided to make the increase
equal to Germany's force. At h-ast
three members of the board favored bat
tleship construction. One member is
said to have stronply advocated the au
thorization of twenty cunboats Tor serv
ice in the West Indies, the Philippines
and China, and In support of this he
pointed out that there were eighteen bat
tleships, armored cruiser and protected
cruisers under construction and pro
jected and the shipbuilding; facilities of
the country would be exhausted in com
pleting them.
From present Indications the board
will favor the authorization of thie
battleships and twelve gunboats of
about 1,X0 tons each. There is no In
tention of recommending armored or
protected cruisers, as the board seems
to think the Vnlted Btates wants very
large and very small vessels, and nuns
of an intermediate class.

Plan of England to Confiscate Btats

New Tork. Oct. 18 South Africans ex
plain the investigation in progress there
respecting concessions In the Transvaal
as a preliminary measure for the confis

other properties, says the Tribune's Lon

some resources must be found for meet

destruction of their property and the
loss of their cattle and horses. Land
taxes will yield little when the two new
colonies are impoverished, and the min

reorganized and in a flourishing state.
