2 WEDDING BELLS PEEL FORTH FROM THE WHITE HOUSE (Continued from Page One.) dent and the dainty bride resting her hand lightly within his left arm pro ceeded to the East Room, the orchestra rendering the magnificent march from Tannhauser. Miss Roosevelt never looked better. Her bridal dress was a magnificent creation of heavy white satin, point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle and silver brade. Its material was manufactured especially for her and the design then destroyed. The gown had a long court train of superb silver brocade. The bodice was made high without a collar, was trimmed with rare old point lace and the elbow sleeves were finished with the same filmy material. The sleeves just met the long white gloves. A voluminous tulle veil almost completely envelop ing the slender, graceful figure of the charming bride, was held in place by dainty clusters of orange blossoms. The slippers were fashioned from silver brocade and, instead of buckels tulle bows were worked with tiny clus ters of orange flowers. The only jew els worn by the bride was the superb diamond necklace which was the gift of the groom. Over her left arm, Miss Roosevelt carried a superb bouquet of the rarest and daintiest white orchids procurable. The delicate blossoms were arranged in cascade form, the stems being tied with white chiffon, ' satin ribbon witji long bows. The ushers, who were in couples, separated as they reached the platform and the President passed through the two lines and presented his daughter to the waiting bridegroom who stepped forward to receive her. Together they ascended tire platform where Bishop Saterlee, in the imposing robes of his office, was already standing. It was one of the most auspicious moments in the history of the White House. In low, yet resonent tones, Bishop Saterlee began. At the conclusion of the responses from the bride and groom, the venerable bishop inquired in a tone that filled the great room: "Who giveth this woman to be mar ried to this man?" The President of the United States ascended the platform and taking his daughter's right hand: placed it in that or' the bridegroom. Thus he gave the bride away to the man of her choice, and by the ring which an instant later the groom placed on the fourth finger of her left hand, she became Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. At the conclusion of the wedding ceremony, the assembled guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Longworth on the platform and beneath the floral bower where their hands and hearts were joined forever. They were show ered with congratulations. The guests then were received in the East Room by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. After the informal receptions the bridal breakfast was served, in buffet form, in the state and private dining rooms. WEALTH OF PRESENTS. Few brides not of so-called royal birth ever have been the recipients of so many and such valuable gifts as were received by Miss Roosevelt. For weeks these tributes of love and af fection have been pouring in to the White House. The bride and the mem bers of her family were almost over whelmed by the number and character of the presents. The spirit which ani mated the givers appealed strongly to Miss Roosevelt. Many of the presents were accompanied by oral or written expressions of the deep and sincere regard in which the bride is held by persons of all classes not only in her own country but throughout the world. During the past week hundreds of remembrances, so particularly pre -cious in the eyes of a bride, have ar rived at the White House'' for Miss Roosevelt. By far the greater number f J 1 1 1 ! " 1 ui lueiu camu irom personal menus and acquaintances. Her joy was cloud ed in a measure, by the receipt of presents from people of whom she never had heard who followed the gifts immediately with requests for in vitations to the wedding. Some of the gifts were costly, but those which so evidently were sent with the idea thereby of obtaining an invitation to the wedding were returned to the senders. While many of the presents receiv ed by the brido are valuable, some Qf them being particularly so by reason of the circumstances , surrounding them, the value of the. gifts has been greatly exaggerated. So remarkable have some, of the accounts of the pres- fnta hpem thiifr Vi t- Tiihlipatinn hac brought to Miss Roosevelt an unfortu nate annoyance. Her mails for many days has been flooded with letters from women and men in all parts of the country, urging her .to give to them from her plentiful store of du- Some of the stories of the suffering and privation .they told really were pitiful. Even in the time of her life's greatest happiness, Miss Roosevelt was made sorrowful by some of the appeals to her genrosity. Of course, she was unable to gratify the writers of the letters, because primarily they had been misled by publications which .were quite inaccurate. In addition to appeals for charity, "Miss Roosevelt received, as a result of the exaserated resorts of the value of her presents, letters,' unsigned as a rule, menacing in their tone. No ac tual threats were made, but the letters contained sinister intimation of fu ture trouble, perhaps for the country, ; through the presentation to the daugh ter of an American president of gifts so costly as to be merely a display of the wealth of the givers. Nobody without the circle of rela tives and intimate personal friends has been permitted to view the Bri dal presents. For two days they were placed in the: library on the second floor of the White Hou3e and not for ja moment were they left unguarded.! The gifts numbered nearly a tnousana and it is known that all have not ar-j rived. The display consists principally df jewelry and rare, oric a brae. Among the many beautiful things received are I some rare eld laces and jewels from I Mrs. Lee, the grandmother of the bride. i i i I No list of presents was made public and no complete list that is even apporximately accurate can be com piled; but among tne hundreds receiv ed by Miss Roosevelt are the follow ing: . President Loubet, of France, A magnificent gobelin tapestry, made ex pressly for Miss Roosevelt. It is in shape long and narrow and portrays scenes renowned in ' the history of France. . Emperor William, of Germany, a bracelet of special design, studded, with gems of . rare value, one of the finest works of the jewelers art. It was presented by Ambassador Speck von Sternbujrg. The Emperor of Japan-two beauti fully chased vases of silver and a piece of wonderful Japanese embroid ery. Republic of Cuba a special neck lace of selected pearls, the design of the piece being made in Paris on the order of the Cuban government. It is one of the most valuable gifts received by the bride. i ;H The Emperess Dowager of China A handsomely made dower chest filled completely with rare gifts of silks, embroideries, ivory carvings and love ly brie a brae. The King of Italy A Mosaic table of superb workmanship and great beauty, depicting scenes of Italian life. It was manufactured expressly . for Miss Roosevelt in Florence. Pope Pius X a handsome Mosaic representing one -of the great paint ings in the Vatician. The King of Spain pieces of anti que jewelry of rare design and value. King Edward VII, of England, sent a gift to the bride, but the character of it has not been disclosed. While some of the ambassadors and ministers accredited to this capital from foreign countries sent individual presents to Miss Roosevelt, the major ity of them presented to her offerings of flowers. 1 Members of the President's cabinet presented individual gifts, but only a few of them are known. Secretary and Mrs Taft presented a pair of elaborate ly chased silver table vases of Amer ican manufacture; Secretary and Mrs. Shaw a chocolate set of rare Workes ter ware, and Attorney General Moody a pair of silver candlesticks. What is known as the Taft Philippine party joined in a gift to the bride of a gold necklace with the alternate links studded with diamonds, bearing a magnificent aqua marine pendant sur rounded with diamonds. Mr. Longworth's associates in Con gress united in presenting to the bride three beautiful presents. The New York delegation gave an exquisite ser vice of fevrile glass. The Ohio delega tion in Congress gave the bride a heavy silver loving cup. The House committee on foreign affairs, of which Mr. Longworth is a member, also gave the bride a loving cup of silver. Fans were a favorite article of pres entation to the bride and she received a notable and handsome collection of them. The French Ambassador and Madame Jusserand, the Viscount de Chamburn and Senator and Mrs. Spooner, of Wisconsin, Presented fans. The gift of Mr. Longworth to his bride was a necklace of selected diam onds, perfectly matched, the stones being beautifully mounted. This pro bably was intrinsically the most valua ble gift received by Miss Roosevelt. Guests at the Wedding: Approximately, one thousand guests were invited to the wedding, but no list of the guests was furnished for publication, the President '. and Mrs. Roosevelt departing on this occasion from their usual custom. Those in vited including certain official classes, aside from the relatives of the Roose velt and Longworth families. It was announced officially that the list of guests included the members of the cabinet and their wives; former mem bers of the cabinet who are now in the United States Senate and their wives; the justices of the Supreme Court and their wives; the official members of the Taft Philippine party; the Ohio- delegation in Congress; A portion of the New York dele gation in Congress; immediate members of both .families ' and the personal friends of Miss Roose velt and Mr. Longworth. Gowns ar.d Hats of Women Guests. No social event in recent years in America has induced so elaborate and beautiful a display of toilets as the wedding of Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth. Many of the women pres ent wore jewels which matched in color their gowns cr,; if they did not match, theyentered harmoniously into the color scheme of the toilets. As the wedding was a morning function, the women guests, for the most part, kept on their hats. The ladies of the President's household, however, wore no hats.

Weak Lungs Bronchitis EDITOR MARSHALL RETAINS COUNSEL Says an' Indictment will be Brought Against Several Mem bers of City Counsel of Gastonia Charging Them with Selling Supplies to the City. Judge Armistead Burwell and Mr. E. T, Cansler have been retained to pros ecute several members of the Board of Aldermen of the city of Gastonia. The allegation is made by Mr. W. F. Marsh all, editor of the Gastonia' Gazette, that several members of the City Council of Gastonia have been selling the city certain supplies, which is in violation of a certain statute,now a law in North Carolina. Mr. Marshall also charges ,that the First National Bank of Gastonia,whose president, Mr.'L,. L.. Jenkins, is a mem ber of City Council has been loaning the city money at a rate higher than is legal in North Carolina. This money, so - Mn ' Marshall contends, has been loaned in $5,000 and $6,000 lots and the city has been made to pay 8 per cent. It is also contended that the city, prior to the time of its dealings with the First National Bank, , had been getting all the money necessary at 6 per cent. In an interview with Mr. Marshall this morning The News man learned of his businesses here today and asked for, a, statement. He admitted that his business in Charlotte today was to employ counsel to prosecute at least three of the members of the City Coun cil. In this connection the well-known editor said: "This thing of members of the Board of Aldermen selling to the city of Gastonia has gone so far that it is high time a. halt was called. The law has been repeatedly violated and I am going to use every effort to put a stop to this practice." The' case against the Aldermen who are to be indicted will be made return able 'at the next term of of the Su perior Court of Gastonia county, .which meets Monday, the 26th of this month. Mry Marshall says that he intends to fight the case to the very last ditch. He "also intimates that the Gastonia Gazette, at its own expense, may re tain counsel to prosecute those who have seen fit to require the city to pay usuary for the money loaned. Mr. Marshall returned to Gastonia on the midday train. ' Mr. Spencer's New Purchase. Mr. Stonewall R.
