C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1908. NO. 31 SHE'S NOW A COUNTNESS. Itlwas a Case of Love at First Sight. Marriage Ceremony Uniting Hiss Gladys Vanderbilt and Count Laszlo Szechenyl of Hun gary was Performed a Few Minutes Past Noon Today. Special to The Argus.) New York, Jan. 27 The marriage ceremony uniting Miss Gladys Van derbilt and Count Laszlo Szechenyl of Hungary was performed a few min utes past noon today at the home ol the bride's mother, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, corner of Fitth avenue and Fifty-eight street. As upon previous occasions when American heiresses have bestowed themselves upon titled foreigners, the ceremony was witness ed by that select and exclusive body known as "society." The "Vanderbilt mansion was guard ed by a large number of police officers, specially detailed to hold in cheek the immensejcrowd of curious spectators who thronged the sidewalks and oc cupied the doorways and other points of vantage opposite the Fifty-eight Street entrance to the Vanderbilt home. There was nothing to reward the pa tience of the crowd until a half or ihrBe-anartcrs ot an hour before the time fixed for the ceremony. One of the first carriages to arrive contained Monsignor M. J. Liavelle, who was accompanied by two priests from St. Patrick's Cathedral and a lay brother carrying a suit case which contained the Episcopal vestments. Then in rapid succession rode up the handsome equipages with the invited guests. The crowd at this time began to swell and the police, in charge of precinct commanders, kept the spec tators moving, none being permitted to loiter in front of the house. WATCHING THE ARRIVALS. F.very arrival at the house was eag erly scanned by the crowd, but very little could be seen of any of the cos tumes by outsiders, owing to the awn Insrs. which were closed the entire length of the curbs, and which pre vented the guests being seen on alight ing from their carriages. The crowd, however, overcome by its desire to catch at least a glimpse of some ol the participants, surrounded the carriages which were in line, many women scrambling and jostling against each other in their eagerness to see the oc cupants. At a quarter of twelve, the guests, probably two hundred in all, assembl ed in the handsome drawing room. At one end of the room stood the altar in white and gold, the scores of tall light ed candles in golden stands reflecting with gorgeous effect upon the golden embroidery. FLORAL, DECORATIONS ELABORATE The spacious drawing room was con verted into a veritable conservatory of rare plants and blossoms. On and about the altar wrere tall golden stands filled with clusters of long-stemmed eastern lilies. The mantle pieces window-sills and curved nooks were also banked with bridal roses, eastern lilies and lilies of the valley in be wildering confusion. Pink and white predominated in the decorations. Promptly at the stroke of twelve Monsignor La velle and his assistant en tered the room and took up their posi tions on the right and left of the altar, at the south end of the drawing room. A moment later the two choirs from St. Patrick's Cathedral began to sing the wedding chrous from Gaul's can tata "Ruth," and the bridal party were heard descending the stairs. The singers were accompanied on the piano by Mr. James C. Ungerer.organist and musical director of the Cathedral. ENTRANCE OF THE BRIDE. The bride entered the wedding par lor on the arm of her brother, Alfred Gynne "Vanderbilt. Next came the bride's mother escorted by Count Dionys Szechenyi. Other members of the family group were Count Stephen Szechenyi, Mr. and Mrs. Reginald "Vanderbilt, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Preceding the bride were her attendants, Miss Ruth V. Twombly and Miss Dorothy Whitney, with little Miss Flora Whitney acting as flower girl. Awaiting the bride at the altar were the bridegroom and his best man, Count Anton Sigray. The bride and bride groom, surrounded by their attend ants and relatives, stood in front ot the altar and Monsignor Lavelle advanced to meet them. All being in readiness, the couple knelt upon the velvet cushions and the Monsignor proceeded -with the mar riage ceremony of the Roman Catholic church. The groom was given away by his elder brother and the bride by Alfred Vanderbilt. The ceremony occupied scarcely more than a quarter of an hour, and at its conclusion the couple were warmly congratulated by the dis tinguished ecclesiastic. They at once proceeded to a second parlor where they received the congratulations of the guests. Among these were Baron Hengelmuller, the Austrian ambassa dor, and the various members of the Austrian embassy at Washington. His Holiness Pope Pius X cabled his apostolic blessing upon the marriage. through Arblshop Farley. He is a sportsman and is described as a charming type of the Hungarian cav alier. He is said to be very wealthy in his own right. BRIBE POSSESSES MILLIONS. What the marriage settlements are is, of course, known only to the parties and their lawyers, and all statements concerning them, their terms or the total amount on either side have been purely efforts of the imagination. When the bride attained her majority last August she came into possession of more than $12,000,000, which was her share, with interest, of the $60,000,000 estate left by her father. Though the bride is one of the wealthiest young women in America, the Count, so his friends assert, is not a fortune hunter and has given little attention to the handsome dot that comes with his bride. He is the owner of a large estate in Hungary and, on the whole, is said to be far better provided with this world's goods than has been the case with the majority of foreign noblemen who have married American heiress. BREAKFAST AND RECEPTION. In the reception room a line of tall South American tree ferns were ar ranged in front of all the windows. A number of these ferns were also used to form a canopy, from which was sus pended a bell of lilies of the valley, under which the bridal couple received the congratulations of the guests. The dininer-room. the foyer - hall and the breakfast room were all exquisitely decorated. The bride's table, which was laid for eighteen covers, was bank ed throughout its entire length with lilies of the valley and white orchids, The tables for the guests were decorated with lilies and pink orchids. During the breakfast Eranko's orchestra played selections from Tscualkowsky's Russian Symphony aud also from Wagner's "Siegfried" and "Tristan und Isolde." WEDDING GOWN A HANDSOME CREATION The wedding gown was an exquisite creation of white satin trimmed with point lace of almost labulous cost The train to the gown was five yards long, and was fastened to the should ers just below the neckband. The satin of the train was plaited in double box plaits, and was edged with an em broidery in seed pearls and silver The bridal veil was fastened to the coiffure with a tiara of orange bios soms. The beautiful lace on the gown was made abroad from a special design. It is said that the bride's wedding gown and lingerie worn at the ceremony cost nearlv $10,000. MANY COSTLY GIFTS The Countess Szechenyi will take with her to her new home in Hungary some wonderfully exquisite gifts. It Is said that $500,000 would not be an ex travagant estimate ol the total value of the wedding presents. This does not include, of course, marriage settlements in cash. From the members of the Vanderbilt family come many superb additions to the Countesses jewel-box as well as quantities of beautiful silver From the relatives of the bridegroom the bride received some jewels that have belonged for generations to the Szechenyi family. Included among the exquisite gifts that the bride' intimate friends were privileged to view after the ceremony were a girdl of gold, set with diamonds, a pair of side combs set with pearls, several brooches of unique design and jewel lncrusted pendants" BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM The bride of today is the younges child of the late Cornelius Vander bilt.

PATRONS. LIVED ON HUS BAND'S BLOOD. B ilrs. Elliott Howe, Nee Miss Mary Moore, of Newbern, Dies of Heart Failure. East Radford, Va., Jan. 22 Mrs. Elliott Howe, formerly Miss Mary Moore, of Hew Bern, N. C, died on yesterday of heart failure in spite ot the fact that a quantity of her hus band's blood had been injected into her veins in an effort to save her lile. Mrs. Howe was 27 years of age. She opeued a door of her room for the pur pose of getting fresh air and fell dead across the threshold. Mrs. Howe had a severe illness in the spring, at which time her tide of life was at so low an ebb that she was given up for dead. Life at that time was sustained by injecting blood into her veins taken from her husband's arms. Besides her husband, Mrs. Howe is survived by three children. The body was tak en to Newbern for burial today. NEW COLLECTING AGENCY. Messrs. Celts and Morgan Organize New Business. Mr. O. A.

Mr. Morgan, who is also general agent for the Manhattan Life Insur ance Company, will have the assistance of Mr. Betts in the management of that "old reliable" company. The character of these gentlemen is a sufficient guarantee that all business entrusted to them will be promptly and intelligently handled. , Post C lice Department Makes quest About Postage. Postmaster Dobson aesires to call at tention to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters, instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance Of their needs. This practice imposes undue hard snip on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests the patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps.

Judlccary Committee Says Body in Special Session Has Full Power to Enact General Leg islation. (By special wire to The Argus.) Raleigh, Jan. 23. Evidence that the special session of the Legislature will continue for at least two weeks, and possibly the limit of 20 days, was plen tiful in the General Assembly to-day, especially in the Senate, where an ava- lanch of new bills ot a general charac ter were introduced, while a score held in abeyance by committees yestewlay were reported to-day .fl Among the most important billla in troduced to-day is that by Senator Blair designed to prevent drumuars from., soliciting orders for or selling intoxicating liquors in prohibition ter ritory, to be delivered by express or otherwise. This bill was referred to the Judiciary committee and it is ex pected it will precipitate a hot fight. The Judiciary committee reported to day on the resolution referred to it yes terday opening the gates to general legislation, if the Legislature itself in each body shall see fit to legislate on subjects other than railway rates and State prohibition. It will be remembered that this com mittee yesterday was asked to construe the powers of this special session in re gard to general legislation. It is evi dent, however, that some of the Sena tors will oppose general legislation, and aneffoitis being made already to-day to restrict it as far as possible. The bill ot senator Graham to ap propriate ?5,000 and authorizing the Governor to employ counsel to be paid out of that sum lor the specific pur pose of prosecuting freight rate dis criminations before thelnterSstatoCdm- mission was takeu up today and pre cipitated a warm debate ot an hour. Finally further action was deferred un til tomorrow at 12 o'olock. The bill will probably pass. Another important bill introduced today is one by Long of Iredell for State prohibition, fixing the time for the election, August 8. Referred. The committee on rules will tomor row report a new rule, which will reg ulate the schedule of legislation. . During th discussion today Chair man Graham of the Railrord Com mittee stated significantly that sen ators might as well take up measures in which they ar specially interested, "as it will be some time I before the Committee on Railroads agree on the terms of the bill they have been charg ed to report for enactment." It is very evident the lawmakeis Will be here some time yet. Douglass ot Wake, also, introduced his already advertised bill in the house for State prohibition by legislative enactment. Raleigh, Jan. 27. In the Legislature today the Senate consumed the morn ing hour in disposing of the calendar. Of the bills passed only a few are of State interest, most of them being purely local in their character. Among the more important bills passed finally today were a bill by Senator Ayeoclc relieving the Peniten tiary Board from the payment ot inter est on the prison bonds given in pay ment for the State tarm. This because the Board, said Mr. Aycock, has paid over gl7y,0u0 to the State Treasurer aud the State Treasurer should meet the interest. A .resolution of Senator Pharr, appointing a committee to ar range tor more speedy printing of acts ot Legislature; the House bill amend ing the act of last session relating to the extension from 60 to 100 miles of the roads coming within the 3 cent rate, etc., was taken up and referred to judiciary committee; a bill increas ing the pay ot jurors in Mecklenburg county.

SKIN TROUBLES OF 3 CHILDREN, Girl's Face a Sight With Pimples--- Looked Like Chicken Pox or Blood Poison People Afraid to Go Near Her Two Babies Suffer Terribly With Milk Crust Which Maturated. ALL COMPLETELY CURED BY CUTICURA FOR, SALE -Coke's Cora, field selection Genoa, N. C. Prolific Seed W. F, Moore, I Subscribe for the Argus. "Some time ago my daughter, aged 14, began to break out on her face with, small pimples and I told her to get the Cuticura Remedies and take them, but she used some stuff called D and in about three weeks her face was a sight. It looked some like chicken pox and at last like blood poison, so that every one who saw her was al most afraid to go near her. Then L sent for a complete set of the Cuticura Remedies and now she has not had a ' pimple for two months. I knew that Cuticura would cure her because I have used it before with such success. About eighteen years ago, I had a little girl who had what the doctor called milk crust on her head. This spread until one ear was covered. She was then six months old and grew worse until 1 used all three of the Cuticura Remedies, which cured her. I have a little boy, j now two years old, who was taken the same way. When five days old his . head began to raise up in water blisters, ; then turned red and then a yellow' matter formed under the blisters. It dried up and looked like a big patch of dirt, then it scaled off, broke out again; and spread nearly all over his head. The same kinds of sores formed in tha bends of his arms and legs. At first I had a physician who treated him and. said he would outgrow it, but when he was two weeks old I began to use the Cuticura Remedies, and when three months old he was well, and he now has a fine skin, as clear as crystal. I always use Cuticura Soap when I wash him. Mrs. J. A. Jacobs, Berlin, N. J., June 19, July 11, and Oct. 20, 1906.
