International Event.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 17. No so
cial event In the history of this coun
try has ever attracted as much inter
est in all sections of the country and
among all classes of the population,
as the wedding of Alice Roosevelt,
eldest daughter of President Roose
velt, to Congressman Nicholas Long
worth of Ohio.
The popularity of Miss Roosevelt's
father coupled with the undeniable
fact that all the world loves a lover,
particularly if that lover Is the daugh
ter of the chief executlvo of the coun
try and ha. endeared herself by her
naturalness and democratic ways, ha.
made the wedding of Miss Roosevelt
a national event, and, to some extent,
has assumed that character, although
President Roosevelt, with true demo
cratic spirit, tried his best to pre
vent It.
There was a lime when Frances
Fnlsom, who became the wife of
President Cleveland, while the latter
was In office, wu the most popular
woman In the country, but her popu
larity and the Interest taken In the
great event of her life, were a. noth
ing compared with the unlversnl and
sympathetic Interest taken everywhere
In Alice Roosevelt', wedding.
The Wedding. Ceremony.
A few minutes before noon Bishop
Sattcrlee of Washington, and the Rev.
Roland Cotton Smith, rector of St.
John's Episcopal cliurch. who were
to perform, respectively assist In the
ceremony, arrived In the East room
and took their placs within the en
closure of white ribbons, forming a
barrier around the 'floral altar. A
few minutes later the brldgogroom,
accompanied by his hest man, Mr.
Thomas Nelson Perkins, entered the
room, nnd took their positions at the
side of the nltar. where they awaited
the arrival of Uie bridal party.
Several of the aides to the president
acted as floor manager, and unob
trusively mingled with the spectators,
to prevent crowding.
At the stroke of 12 the Marine band
In the lobby began to play the wed
ding march from Wagner's "Lohen
grin," nnd at the same mioment the
bridal party started in two columns
toward the East room.
The bridal party proper descended
from the upper floor by way of the
private stairway, between the state
dining rwim and the breakfast room
and mrved through the wide corri
dor which runs 170 feet from west
to east in the mansion, to the East
room.
The bride leaned on her father's
arm and walked with stately and dig
nified steps. Mr.. Roosevelt walked
with her .on, Kermit, Miss Ethel with
her brother Archibald and the baby
of the family, Quentln, was conduct
ed by hi. cousin, William 8. Cowley
Jr., tho only .on of Captain and Mr..
William 8. Cowles. Mrs. Ocorge C.
Lee, the venerable grandmother of tho
bride, and Mrs. William 8. Cowles
walked together and were followed by
the other members of the Lee, Roose
velt and Longworth families, who had
come from all parts of tho country
to attend the wedding.
The wedding ceremony was con
ducted In accordance with the ritual
of the Episcopal church, Bishop Sat
terlee officiating and the Rev. Dr.
Roland Cotton Smith assisting in the
ceremony. During the progress of
the ceremony the boy.' choir of St.
John', church Bang a number of a
cred .election., Including Mr. Long
worth', favorite, "Be Thou Faithful
Unto Death," from "Elijah," and a
.election from the Song of Solomon,
"My Beloveth Cometh."
When the critical moment arrived
and Bishop Satterlee asked tfle all
Important question, the bride answer
lit
oust
ed with a firm and clearly audible "I
will." The answer .of the bridge
groom, although undoubtedly also In
the affirmative, wa. by no means as
audible as the answer of his fair life
partner.
After the ceremony the ushers, who
had been guarding the approach to
the floral altar, formed In line and
preceded the bridal party on their re
cessional, while the Marine band
played an animated march.
The Wedding Gown.
The following Is tho official de
scription of Miss Alice', gown, pre
pared by her secretary: White satin
Princes, gown, 'waist trimmed with
point lace, elbow sleeves, no collar,
court train of silver brocade, tulle
veil caught with orange blossoms."
Mrs. Roosevelt wore a heavy bro
cade, cream colored, with blue and
brown figures and golden threads and
a princes, with a yoke of brown chif
fon and long train.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Longworth
and one or two others were the only
women present without hats.
Longworth wore a frock coat, white
vest, dark striped trousers, lavender
tic, moonstone scarf pin and a broad
smile.
Baron Hangemuller. the Austrian
ambassador, dean of the diplomatic
corps at the last minute Issued an or
der prohibiting all diplomat, wearing
gold braid, and all wore frock coats.
One minute, after noon the bridal
party began to enter the room. Mrs.
Wayne McVeagh, wife of a former
attorney general, fainted, but wa. re
vived In time to witness the ceremony.
The bishop came out strong on the
word "Obey" In the ceremony. The
bride answered In resolute tones, "I
will."
The bride was photographed in her
wedding finery. Secretary Loeb and
the president both dodged the respon
sibility of selecting from the scores of
applicants a photographer to take a
pictnre of the bride. Mrs. Longworth
herself selected Edwin A. Curtis of
New York. She posed in her wedding
gown and retired to don her golng
away dress.
Newspaper men are guarding every
avenue of exit from the city to learn
where the couple is going. The pri
vate car Mayflower, cleaned spotless
ly and decorated with flowers, backed
Into the station, and railroad men said
would leave at 4 o'clock for Palm
Reach, but they refused to Bay the
bridal party wa. going In It.

answered by Judge Fee and John Mc

RESULT OF LITIGATION
BROUGHT BY SHEEPMEN
If Decision Is Sustained by the State
Snproine Court it Will Leave In Er
feet the Slicep Inflection Law of
101, Which Provided few Dipping
Only When Expert Examination
Found it Necessary Sheepmen
Everyvvliere Fought Present Law.
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 17. In the di'
trlct court Judge Stewart held the
state veterinarian law unconstltutlon
al. If the decision is sustained by
the supreme court, it will wipe out
the livestock sanitary board and the
office of state veterinarian. The old
suite sheep inspection act will be re
vived If it I. found by the court that
the legislature sought to repeal the
later law by reference to It, extending
the duties of sheep Inspector to the
new office of state veterinarian.
Litigation arose over an order that
all, sheep south of the Salmon river
be dipped a second time last year be
fore being driven in from the sum
mer range. A number of sheepmen
in Washington and Canyon counties
refused on the grounds that sheep
were free from scab, and the board
hnd no authority to order them dip
ped a second time. This case brought
to a test that point and the const!
tutlonnllty of the law. Judge Stew
art has held with the sheepmen on
both points.
The annullment of tho state veter
Innry law of 1905 leaves In force the
state sheep Inspector law of 1901, un
der which the Industry flourished
and wnc properly protected and taken
core of. The law of 1901 provides In
mnny respect, far more severe pun
ishment for Its vlnlotlon than the act
of 1905. The governor enn appoint
a state sheep Inspector, who will have
under the old lnw full power and au
thority to provide for the protection
of the industry. He will have power
to enforce the dipping of diseased
sheep as fully and completely as un
der the present law.

SPRING PAVING
A PROBABILITY
Situation Relieved by Bancroft
Act, Which. Provides for
Gradual Liquidation of Cost.
VIEW HELD BY JUDGE S.
A. LOWELL IS DETAXU.
City Would Assume Respv jisibillty foe
Property Owners by Issuing Bonds
Secured by Liens on Abutting Prop
erties, the Bonds Bearing Six Per
cent Owners Settle Wltli City by
Annual Installments Arrangement
Especially Designed to Favor Will
ing Property Owners Unable to Car
ry the Whole Burden at One Time.
There is now a Btrong probability
that Main and Court streets will be
paved during the coming spring, the
change In the situation being caused
by the discovery that under the pro
visions of the Bancroft act the work
may be done without requiring prop
erty owners to pay for the Improve
ment at once.
That the Bancroft act applies o
Pendleton is definitely stated by at
torneys who have investigated the
subject. Judge S. A. Lowell, who is
attorney for the Warren Construction
company, this morning gave the fol
lowing summary of the statuter
"Under Its provisions, when any clty
of 2500 population or over has made
street or sewer Improvement, and the
cost of the same is assessed against .
the abutting property owners, if any
of t.ie latter desire they may request
that they be allowed to make the pay
ments in 10 annual installments and
the city council has authority, after Its
bond lien has been made up, to pass
an ordinance for the issuance of
bonds for the amount of the unpaid
assessment. The bonds to bear ft per
cent interest, payable semi-annually..
The city has the right to call any or
all of the bonds at any( time within 10
years." i."
Although many of the Main and
Court street property owner, have
expressed their readiness to pay for
the paving at once, there are others
not in a position to do so. Conse
quently by taking advantage of the
Bancroft law the burden may be
greatly lightened.
As to whether or not the city mw
pay for the paving of the squares In
the same manner, there seems Mmw
doubt. However, It appears to be
doubtful.
When seen this morning, E. J.
Murphy, chairman of -the finance,
committee, said he understood that
the act would not make it possible
for the city to make its payments ux
annual installments. For the cftjr
portion of the expense, consisting; of
paving the squares and providing; tor
street drainage, he said the estimavt
is $17,000. Of this amount 10,00o
can be raised by Issuing script to the
limit of indebtedness, and the re
mainder will have to be saved from
the regular revenues, as the treasury
will be empty after the road roller
nnd new hose are paid for.
However, In spite of this stringency
Mr. Murphy believes that the city's
portion of the raving expense can be
met. and also that the sentiment ot
the council is for taking the sten
Asked if the finance committee would
endorse the proposition should It be
presented, he replied that for one he
would not oppose it.
Today two engineers from the War
ren Construction company, have been,
here looking over the ground for the
purpose of making estimates regard
ing the work should It be undertaken.
They are F. M. Randlett, assistant
engineer, stationed at Walla Walla,
and George M. Scrogglns of Portlands
Also, one of the officials of the com
pany has been here today.
