President Wilson and Mrs. Edith
Boiling Gait were married at 8:30
o'clock tonight and left afterward to
spend their honeymoon at . Hot
Springs, Va. The president and his
bride traveled in a private car at
tached to a special train leaving here
at 11:10 o'clock which is due to ar
rive in Hot Springs tomorrow at 8:15
a. m.
At Hot Springs Mrr and Mrs. Wil
son will live at the Homestead hotel
until after New Year's day, unless
some development should necessitate
the president's earlier return to the
capital. Two white house automo
biles have been sent on ahead and the
couple expect to spend their honey
moon motoring, golfing and walking
over the mountain trails. Beside the
secret service guard, the party was
accompanied by a stenographer. The
president will keep in touch with the
white house over special wires.
Because the hour of the wedding
was known to comparatively few per
sons there was not a large crowd in
the vicinity of the bride's home, al
though a large police guard had been
provided.
The wedding was carried out per
fectly as arranged.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the Presi
dent and Mrs. Wilson entered a wait
ing white house automobile and mo
tored to Alexandria, Va., across the
Potomac, to take their private car
there and avoid a crowd at the rail
road station in this city.
The prayer book which the officiat
ing clergyman used once was the
property of the late Judge William H.
Boiling, of Virginia, father of the
bride, and was used at her request.
The President and Mrs Wilson
boarded their special car at Alexan
dria at 11:40 p. m., and began their
journey to Hot Springs.
The president dined as usual at the
white house at .7 o'clock with his
daughters and afterward drove to his
bride's home about a mile from the
executive mansion. A cold driving
rain, which swept the city all day,
cleared off at sunset and the evening
was cool and pleasant.
Everything was in readiness when
the president arrived, and the cere
mony proceeded without music. Neith
er the -president and Mrs. Gait had
any attendants and there were no
ushers or flower girls. Neither the
army, the navy, nor the diplomatic
corps was represented, the occasion
being what both of the couple had
wished it to be a home wedding.
Just at the hour set for the cere
mony the president and his bride ap
peared at the head of the staircase.
They descended to the Mower floor,
where the guests were grouped about
informally.
The Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rec
tor of St Margaret's Protestant Epis
copal church, of which the bride is a
communicant, was waiting beneath
the canopy to perform the ceremony,
and with him, to assist, was the pres
ident's pastor, the Rev. James H.
Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian
church.
Mrs. William H. Boiling, the bride's
mother, gave her away. The president
stood to the right of the clergymen
and the bride stood on their left. At
once Dr. Smith began the words of
the Episcopal marriage service, the
president making his responses first,
and then the bride making hers. Af
ter the bride promised to "love, cher
ish and obey," the president placed
the wedding ring, a plain band of
gold ,tipon her finger and then, after
a prayer and while the couple clasped
their right hands together, Dr. Smith
declared them man and wife. .The
brief and -simple ceremony was over.
The entire party then turned to the
dining room, where a buffet supper
was served.
Mrs. Wilson cut the cake with for
mality and no arrangement was made
for bestowing bits of it upon others
than those in the wedding party.

DAUGHTER OF SLAVE.
Says Germans Are Downhearted
Frederik Taegder, a naturalized
German citizen who went to Germany
just as the war started, and was im
pressed into service in the army, his
naturalization papers being taken
away Irom him, has arrived in New
York, having secured his release
through the American ;ambassador.
He says other German-American cit
izens like himself met the same fate
and names a dozen who were treated
the same way. He knew them in New
York and one day they found them
selves together shoveling coal on the
cruiser Moltke.
He says the mass of the German
people are downhearted and no longer
believe newspaper accounts of Ger
man victories, and are becoming in
creasingly bitter against the govern
ment. More than 6,000 women are
working in Krupps, he said.
Allegations of Leslie Heirs to
Break $1,800;000 WillRevealed
For First Time.
New York Sun.
The fact that the suit brought to
set aside the will of Mrs. Frank Les
lie, widow of the publisher, by his
heirs at law, is based on allegations
that Mrs. Leslie's mother was a negro
slave and for that reason she had no
legal right to inherit her husband's
fortune became known yesterday
when William Nelson Cromwell and
Louis H. Cramer, executors and trus
tees under Mrs. Leslie's will, filed an
accounting. .
It developed that the action by Sur
rogate Fowler to hold hearings in the
Leslie will contest in secret was based
on these allegations as to Mrs. Les
lie's family history. The contention
tha.t Mrs. Leslie's mother was a negro
slave and her father a white South
ern planter resulted in extensive in
vestigations by detectives employed
by the executors on account of a simi
lar inquiry conducted through Louis
iana by detectives employed by James
H. Westcott, attorney for Arthur Les
lie, a grandson of the publisher, and
other heirs at law.
The accounting refers to a payment
of $1,000 to the Schindler National
Detective Agency "for services in
connection with the investigation of
Mrs. Leslie's family history," and a
payment of $100 to A. S. Wrenn "for
a trip to Charleston, S. C, in connec
ton with the investigation into the
family history and pedigree of Mrs.
Leslie."
' The executors learned that Mrs.
Leslie was 78 years old and that she
was born in New Orleans. As to
other facts in relation to the des
cendant the executors said: "Mrs.
Leslie's family history was difficult to
trace." Concerning the suit to set
aside the probate of the will leaving
the bulk of the $1,800,000 estate for
the cause of woman suffrage, the
executors said:
The general nature of the claim
was tht the descendant was an illegitimate-child
of one Charles Follin and
a negro slave, and that she left no
heirs at law or next of kin on the part
of her mother."
Accordingly the Frank Leslie heirs
at law contend that since the decend
ant got her estate from her husband
the property should pass to them.

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
u ?dicates a general weakness
of 4he body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
irom alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.

Legislators Homeward Bound.
Washington Dispatch, 18th.
The capitol building, for the past
two weeks the scene of congressional
activity, was practically deserted to
day. Virtually all the mebers of con
gress, following adjournment last
might for the Christmas holidays,
were homeward bound not to return
until January 4. One of the last acts
was the passage by the senate of the
house joint resolution extending the
emergency revenue tax until Decem
ber 31, 1916. President Wilson short
ly afterwards affixed his signature to
the measure. The measure was op
posed by the entire minority.
When congress reconvenes the ad
ministration's program, including
plans for national defense, will be
taken up in earnest.
