Details Are Learned. Yesterday the news of the needless but none the less picturesque- and odd ceremony came to light and with it some ratherinteresting facts.

The Bridewells, formerly of Georsria, were well-known members of the Mormon Church, as was the family of Mr. Dansie. but the present Mr. and Mrs. Dansie never quite kept to the faith of -the Mormon Church. How ever. Governor Cutler, who was a per sonal friend of the Bridewell family, rnciatea at tne ceremony, and among oiher prominent folk there were the lata Professor Goddard, singer, and Professor Charles S.

"Mrs. Dansie is a flower enthusiast," said Mr. Dansie yesterday, ."and for years she has been wanting to come to the Rose- Festival here. We have been living in Seattle for several years, and this was the first time we could get away at Festival time. She con ceived the idea of being a bride again and said he would like to be a -'rose bride," so we decided to have a second ceremony during the Festival gaiety. "Our families are members of the Mormon Church, but we arc not." Mr. ana .sirs, uansie win leave in a few days for Honolulu, where they plan to make their future home. " During their stay in Portland they have been at the Oregon Hotel and with friends at tne Park Harris apartments. FEATURES DUE AT STAR Arrangements Made to Show Fealura Motion Pictures.

TRIBUTE PAID TO PILOT DEATH OF PIONEER RIVER PILOT MOURNED BY MANY. Labor Since 1851 la Helping Build t Efficiency and Progress of Ore- gen la Landed. PORTLAND, Or., June 12. (To the Editor.) The passing of Captain Will iam H. Pope deserves more tnan formal notice. Born In New York In 1S40, at the age of 11 years his father brought him to Oregon City, in 1851. The wife Of Governor Abernathy, of the provis ional government, was a sister of Cap tain Pope's father, so that he is In timately connected with and was one of tHe early pioneers of this state. Since 1851 he had labored to bring Oregon .up to Its present high state of efficiency and - progress. . For a good many years he followed the trade of tinner and worker in iron, but the lure of the sea, brought on him by his trip around the Horn In his early days, held him, and a great many years ago he forsook his trade to follow the river, For many years he was captain of a river steamboat up - the . Willamette, down the Columbia and up as far as the Cascades. It is the tribute of everyone who ever traveled on the boat commanded by Captain Pope-that there always was a ray of sunshine whenever be came In contact wttti them. Twenty-five years ago he be came a pilot of ocean steamera on the Columbia and Willamette rivers and has followed that ever since. . Captain Pope was not a remarkable man except in his- goodness. his geniality and .ever-pleasant companion ship. With a smile and a pleasant word for everyone with whom he came in contact, his memory Is cherished by thousands whom he has known. Always unassuming, never assuming, be won the friendship of all. It has been the writer's privilege to be intimately acquainted with him for more than 'half a-century, and 1 want to pay bim the tribute that be was an honest man. faithful and true to every obligation, and that in him is fully il lustrated the Just simile brought out by Dr. Youngson In his funeral sermon, quoting from Job: "He maketh his path to shine after him." And of all the men . I have known this quotation fits few, if any, better than Captain Vk ill lam H. Pope. - , Forty-eight years.' ago he married Miss Sarah A. Keithley, who, with two daughters, survives him. His home was an ideal one. Love, harmony and good feeling always prevailed, and after h has passed away we feel that one man who has helped to make Oregon what she Is has gone. To bis friends he always was true, and as such they will mourn hlni. and to bis widow and daughters his loss is irreparable and can only be consoled by the thought that tney win meet again. "While we long for a touch of vanished hand and a sound of a voice that is still." as we lay him away we will not say ''goodnight, but In some fairer land bid me good morning." J. C. M.
