riage certificate which Miss Ruth
Hanna, younger daughter of Senator
and Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna, bore
away from St. Paul's Episcopal
church' today, contained the signa
tures as witnesses of the president
of the United States and of several
United States senators and members
of the diplomatic corps at Washing
ton. Miss Hanna, one of the most
notable and popular figures in Cleve
land and Washington society, be
came tho wife of Joseph Medlll Mc
Cormick, of Chicago.
Tho' presence of Mr, Roosevelt and
a largo number of other distinguish
ed guests, together with other inci
dents which attended their union,
rendered tho wodding an event of
national interest. Cleveland has been
the scene of numerous notable wed
dings In the past, but at none of
them has the attendance of famous
personages been equal to that at to
day's function in St. Paul's church.
The Roosevelt train arrived half
an hour ahead of schedule. The
president therefore beat the crowd to
tho depot and was gone before his
coming was realized. He was met
by Mr. Hanna at the lattcr's rest
