A Brilliant Wedding In This City Toes
day The Reception that Night.
For weeks the society circles
of our city have been unusually
interested in anticipation of the
happy event which culminated
Tuesday Feb. 22nd of last week
the marriage of Miss Edna Weil,
of this city,toMr. Adolph Oettin
ger, of New York.
The bride is the elder daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sol. "Weil, and a
general favorite throughout her
Avide circle of friends. Ever gentle
and retiring, always thoughtful,
generous and kind, she grew up
among us to young womanhood,
and it is the highest testimonial
of the universal esteem in which
she is held by our people that the
entire city, of all degrees, were so
deeply interested in the crowning
of her life's destiny in happy
marriage.
The groom is not unknown to
our people, having been employed
for several years with the firm of
H. Weil & Bros, until he went to
New York and established him
self in business, where he is now
at the head of the prosperous
manufacturing firm' of Oettinger
Bros., of that great city. His many
friends here have always retained
a pleasing remembranee of him
for his genial nature and sterling
character.
At 4:30 o'clock Tuesday af
ternoon, in the Hebrew synagogue,
the marriage of this popular
young couple was solemnized.
The beautiful edifice was gorge
ously decorated for the happy oc
casion, and at the appointed hour
was thronged to its fullest ca
pacity with relatives and invited
friends of the contracting parties,
to witness the eternal locking of
their lives together in bonds of
mutual love and mystic unity, and
as the mellow lights gleamed
through the sacred edifice, and
the soft notes of the organ pre
luded the approach of the bridal
procession, the vast congregation
were hushed into breathless si
lence, while, doubtless, their
thoughts went back in fleet, waver
ing flight along the years far back
to Isaac and Rebecca of old, and
God's own benediction upon the
marriage state; and across the
rolling eons came back to each
heart" present the mysterious
whispering, "aye, love dies not:
love goes on forever." The notes
change, and the first proud peans
of Mendelsohnn's " Wedding
March" fall upon the listening
ears; the ushers proceed in pairs
up the opposite aisles to the chan
cel rail; then came the beautiful
Maid of Honor, Miss Hilda Ein
stein, exquisitely gowned in pink,
and bearing a superb bouquet of
pink Bride roses. As she walked
up the aisle the groom was led
forth from the vestry by his best
man and brother, Mr. Emanuel
Oettinger, and stood half
facing the congregation and the
minister in graceful attitude of
expectancy, awaiting the approach
of his bride, who came up the
aisle leaning on the -arm of her fa
ther, and was a dream of loveliness
in white bridal attire of richest
material,, nebulous flowing vai
and in her hand a large bouquet
of Lilies of the Valley. She wore
a triple neclace of pearls with a
sunburst clasp of diamonds, and
epaulets of silver. At the altar
the groom stepped forward and
received his bride from the hand
of her father, and the two then
faced , the officiating minister
tev. o. Li. Mayerberg, wno in
rich, full voice went through the
impressive service of the Hebrew
church, - after which ' he pro
nounced them husband and wife
and 'lrave them bis ministerial
o the Hotel Kennon, which had
been elaborately decorated
hroughout its spacious halls,
dining rooms, corridors and par-
ors for the occasion, and where
the Marine Band of Norfolk dis
coursed the sweetest of music
rom the balcony above as the
guests arrived and during the
hours of the dinner and reception.
And when all the" dinner guests
had arrived, shortly after 6 o'clock
the doors of the dining joom were
thrown open, and, led by the bride
and rroom and the bridal party,
the guests entered and were all
seated at table. In all the years
of Goldsboro' s history and social
events there has never been a more
glittering pageant, a more sump
tuous, successful and enjoyable
event than was this dinner. To
describe it would be impossible.
It was a scene of unusual gayety,
a rare dream of flowers and fair
women in elegance of dress and
richness of jeweling, brave men
and inspiring music, tempting
viands and satisfying substantial:?.
Smilax in profusion entwined the
chandeliers, huge banks of palms
and ferns whose lustrous green
augmented with the rich
blessing. " .
The ushers were Messrs Joe
Rosenthal, Lionel Weil, Sol Oet
tinger, Leslie Weil, A. R. Spier,
Dave Grinsf elder, andMannie Oet
tinger, with Mr. A, A. Joseph as
master of ceremonies.
After the ceremony the brida
party and, invited gnestsf .-repaired
was
beauty of pink carnations, with
the soft reflection of myriads of
incandescent lights "gloating o'er"
and blending all into a scene of
fairyland.
During the evening near two
hundred congratulatory telegrams
from absent friends were re
ceived and at dinner many
happy little speeches were in
dulged in by the guests in atten
dance, notably among these were
the tenderly appropriate remarks
of Hon. Simon Wolf, of Washington.
From 8 to 9 o'clock the bride
and groom and Mr. and Mr?.
Weil, parents of the bride, re
ceived their calling friends of the
city in the parlor, and of these,
indeed, there seemed no end of
tylishly dressed ladies and gentle
men, in tact, we nave never seen
Goldsboro people turn out so num
erously and look so well. At 9
o'clock the bride and groom re
paired to the bride's home where
they donned their travelling dress
and afterwards took the train
for 10 p. m. an extended bridal
trip South.
The guests, however, were not
permitted to leave until they had
partaken of the elegant repast
spread for their delectation, and
aultlessly served, the whole re
reshment feature of the evening
being furnished by and served
under the personal supervision of
Richmond's renowned caterer,
Mr. J. A. Morris. Later in the
evening the spacious dining hall
was cleared and to the voluptuous
music of the Marine band dancing
was indulged in until the -wee
sma' hours.
At the palatial home of the
bride, artistically decorated for
the joyous occasion, the display
of bridal presents was truly mag
nificent to look upon and bewil
dering in their beauty and multi
tude. - - -
One happy feature of this mar
riage, and in it exemplifying the
thoughtful charity that is a part
of the life of Mrs. Weil, the bride's
mother, a. handsome check was
sent by her to Mr. W. T. Dortch,
chairman of the Odd Fellows'
Orphan's Home, of this city, with
the request that it be used in giv
ing the children of the home a
special dinner Tuesday in honor
of her daughter s wedding,

Invalids' Hotel and Surgical-Institute, Buf
falo, N. Y., says: "I suffered for fourteen
years with female weakness, nervousness
and general debility, tryingr everything I
could find to help ine all to no avail. Al
though I was thoroughly discouraged and
disgusted with taking medicine when I heard
of Dr. Pierce's medicines, I thought I would
try once more to find relief. I took the
'Golden Medical Discovery ' and 'Favorite
Prescription,' and too great praise cannot be
given for the rapid relief they gave me. I
am now free from the former troubles, and
may God bless Dr. Pierce in all his under
takings to cure suffering humanity."

HENDERSON'S 189S MANUAL
. Of "Everything for the Garden."
The gorgeous greet? , crimson
and gold catalogue which the
arm of Peter Henderson & Co.,
seedsmen, of New York City, is
sending out for the season of
1838, is one of the best pieces of
typographical Vork that any
press has ever produced. It is a
marvel of good taste and beauty.
The colored plates, of which
there are six, are among the best
ever produced, while the half
tone and wood cuts of flowers
and vegetables are distinct and
accurate. The catalogue contains
more than 200 pages ot reading
matter, and every paragraph is
devoted to some subject that is
of vital interest to the amateur,
the farmer, the florist or the pro
fessional gardener, Of course
everybody knows that the house
of Peter Hendeison is one of the
oldest, largest and most reliable
seed firms in America, Until- this
year the firm has done a large
jobbing busines3,selling its seeds
throush thousands of retailers
in all parts of the country. With
the beginning of J.898 no more
seeds will be sold through mid
dlemen. The firm will now
deal with its customers direct
and will give buyers the ad
vantage of the profits which
j 1
nave gone to retailers in
years past. This will give the
firm a wider trade and bring it
nto closer relations to its patron?.
The 1898 catalogue, which is by
all odds the finest that has come
to hand this year, is not f jr free
distribution, as 't costs over 30
cents a copy to produce." The
price of the catalogue is ten cents,
and that amount can be deducted
from the first order. It can be
had from Peter Henderson -& Co.,
New York City.

Charlotte Observer.
Weekly, for months past, Web
ster's Weekly, of Keidsville, has
read the Observer and its editor
out of the Democratic party, and
this week, commenting upon our
declaration of a week ago that we
do not propose to march under
Mr. Marion Butler's banner, it
says:
The Democrat who is too good
to march where Mr. Bryan and
the chairman of the national Dem
ocratic executive committee and
the Congressional committe do is
too good to stay in the Demo
cratic party and "ought to seek
more select company.
This is substantially what the
same paper has been saying over
and over to the Observer. The
editor of Webster's Weekly is
Mr. John R. Webster. In 1886
he was an independent candidate
for the Legislature in Rockiugham
county and was elected by the
votes of independents and Eepub-
ican?. 'We had much sympathy
with him under the circumstances
and were glad he was elected. But
Russell Sage Says it is No Qnes
tion as to Where the Rich
Man Stands.
New York, Feb. 26 Russell
Sage gave out the following au
thorized interview toaday: "Prom
all the in formation received, there
is little doubt in my mind that
our warship was blown up by
outside agencies, and if the naval
commission so reports, the time
for action has come. There h juld
be no wavering. This govern
ment must demand the fullest re
paration, and that without delay.
Whatever action, war or other
wise, President McKinley may
take, he should and will have the
fullest support from both rich
and poor, Republicans aad Dem
ocrats. There is no question as to
where the rich man stands. In
the civil war. when it broke out,
I bought government bonds, aaJ
I did the same in 1864. So did
other rich men. We had confi
dence in cur government. If the
necessity arises now I will dcrthe
same again generously; so will
other rich men I know of. 1 am
an American, first and last, and
propose to stand by the flag.
"Party lines will be dropped.
As for the stock market that baa
got to take care of itself for the
present. The ticker is now a
secondary consideration. The
honor of government comes first.
I speak not only my own views
on this poin1, but those of other
monied men with whom I have
talked. Another thing: the fami-
ies and dependents of every
sailor killed in the Maine must
be taken care of. That is a bill
Spain must be made to settle. If
the citizens of this country enlist
to defend our flag and all that it
means, we are in duty bound to
see that their families are pro
vided for if they are killed.
"With that understood bj the
people there will be no lack of
soldiers or sailors when the need
arises. I think the President has
been wisely cautious in this mat-
ter, but I am confident that now
he will act promptly in the Maine
matter."

he went to Raleigh and instead of
going into the House Democratic
caucus stayed out of it and was
elected Speaker by a combination
of independents arid Republicans,
over Lee S. Overman, Esq., of
Rowan, the Democratic caucus
nominee, every Republicanvoting
for him.- When the election of
officers of lhe House came on he
voted for Geo. M. Bulla, Repub
lican, of Davidson, for clerk, and
his vote elected him over the gen
tle and learned John D. Cnmeron,
emocrat, who had been the capa-
le clerk of the llouce for years.
Along about the same time he was
writting ponderous editorials in
favor of a protective tariff, and for
a long period before and after the
events above referred to nobody
could tell, by reading his paper,
what party he belonged to, if
anv.
Now this same Mr. Webster
has constituted himself the judge
of the Democracy of other men
and is standing at the door of the
party, taking them in and throw
ins them out according as his
sweet fancy suggests. When it
comes to be recognized by public
opinion as in good form tor a
street drab who has reformed
to go around lecturing on virtue
to women wno nave never gone
.astray, and dictating to whom so
ciety's doors shall be opened and
to whom closed, -then it will be
time for reformed bolters and as
sociates of Republicans to assume
the right to read out of the Dem
ocratlc party men who have
never yet voted for a Republican
nor failed to vote for every Demo
crat-wbo wd3 in sight on election

Mrs. Laura E. Mims, of Smithville.Ga.
says: A small pimple of a strawberry
color appeared on my cheek; it soon
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand
ing all efforts to check it. My
eye became terribly
inflamed, and was so
swollen that for quite
a while I could not
see. The doctors
said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type, and after ex
hausting their efforts
without doing me
any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When in
formed that my father had died from
the same disease, they said I must die,
as hereditary Cancer was incurable.
"At this crisis, I was advised to try
S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer
began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months, then it began to
heal. I continued the medicine a while
longer until the Cancer disappeared en
tirely. This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease."

Spam Won't Sell Cuba.
London, Feb, 25. A special
despatch to the Standard from
Madrid says that the correspon
dent of that paper has been
gathering the opinions of states
men on the suggestion that Spain
should sell Cuba to the United
States.
The correspondent says he
found all parties, including the
Republicans and others who op
pose the Government, amazed
and indignant at the suggestion,
which, it is held, would expose
the monarchy and. Government
to an irresistible popular move
ment, supported by the army'
and navy, resisting the idea of
surrendering Spanish rights in
the island.
Financiers make the practical
objection that, in view of the fact
that the Cuban debt, which
already exceeds 500,000,000. i3
almost entirely held by Span
iards, who in addition have a vast
