York, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H.
Sayre, of Pennsylvania at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon. Surrounded by for
eign diplomats resplendent in theiir
brilliant uniforms, the highest offi
cials in the service of the country,
members of the most exclusive social
set at the capital, including several
hundred friends and kinsmen of the
two families, the bridal couple took
the Presbyterian vows in the east
room of the White Mouse, the scene
of many famous and historic gather
ings. Simplicity marked the ceremony,
but the scene was one of royal gran
deur. Women in brilliant gowns,
the corps of aides to the president in
uniform, the bandsmen hidden behind
the bank of palms and flowers in
full dress regalia, the bride, charming
in rich cream white satin gown, all
combined to make this, the thirteenth
YTite Hous? wedding, the most not
ai)ij of any of the twelve that have
prexued it. The Rev. Sylvester W.
Iicach, of Princton, X. J., family pas
tor oi the Wilsons during their res
ide. ice in tbe university town, per
formed the ceremony.
Dcpartir-j from the usual custom of
White Ho:i?e weddings, the bridal
couple entered the East room to the
strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March
played by the United States marine
band.
The bridal party formed in the din
ing room, alte,r the Wilson and Sayre
family parties had entered the East
Room from the state stairway. Tiic
SOO guests had already found their
places. Mr. Sayre and his best man,
Dr. Wilfred T. Grcntol!, of Labrador,
ascended the state stairway, and pro
ceeded to his position at the right of
the altar.
Just as the clock pointed to 4:30
o'clock, the Marine band which had
previously played softly, struck up
the wedding march. This was taken
up by the choir boys, who awaited the
bridal party in the west end of the
Red Corridor. Radiant in her shim
mering robe of white satin, and lean
ing on the left arm of the president,
the bride took up the triumphal march
to the altar a raised platform near
the great window opening on to the
east terrace. Following came the at
tendants, Miss Margaret Woodrow
Wilson, sister of the bride, as maid of
honor; Miss Eleanor Randolph Wil
son, another sister; Miss Mary G.
White, of Baltimore; Miss Adeline
Mitchell Scott, of Princeton, X. J.;
and Miss Marjorie Brown, of Atlan
ta, Georgie, as bridesmaids. Benjamin
B. Burton of New York, Dr. Scovil
Clark of Salem, Mass., Dr. Horax of
Montclair, N. J., and Charles E.
Hughes, Jr., of New York, acted as
ushers. With perfectly timed tread,
the bride and her father ascended the
tfias where the Rev. Mr. Beach await
ed them with the bridegroom and his
best man.
The enthusiasm of the throng
could scarcely be restrained as the
charming bride, her face lighted with
a smile, stood erect before the pas
tor. A deep silence fell upon the room
as the minister pronounced the word?
that joined the couple in wedlock. A
the minister uttered his "Amen." and
after he congratulated the bride and

DIDN'T PAY ALL ON NOTE
Demanding judgment in the sum of
$691.35, and for $75 attorney's fees,
John P. Primrose has filed suit in the
Circuit Court against Mary I. Reilly,
to recover on a promisary note.
The suit grows out of the alleged
failure of the defendant to settle a
note for $1,739.75 executed at Eugene,
Or., June 16, 1910 and due three years
after date, secured by 160 acres in
Lyman county, South Dakota. It is
claimed that as a result of the failure
of the defendant to meet the note at
maturity the sheriff was legally
authorize d to sell the property,
which he did for $1,200. This was ap
plied to the plaintiff's note. It is to
collect the balance due that the suit

Another feature of the affair which
has caused the men no end of vexa

appearance and consentient refusal ot
the girls, Yonng notified the renters
of his house that they must vacate,
as he was going to be married and
desired the house to be emntv. Ac

CATTLE BUSINESS HAS
BEEN ON LOW BASIS
Hog Market Faltered; Sheep House
Furnished Excitement.
Portland. Or., Nov. J4. Receipts
for the week at the Union Stock Yard
have been: Cattle. 11X0; calves, 05;
hogs. 43JS; sheep. oNo'.
Cattle.
A large proportion of the week's
cattle business has been on a lower
basis, due to the general inferiority
of the stuff marked. WJieu an occa
sional prime load of steers or cows
appeared in the yards, order buyers
snapped them up quickly at top pric
es. A steer sale Monday at $775 and
a load or two at $7.40 and $7.50 is an
example, but the blk of sales were at
$7.(X) and $7.25. The poorest lot of
cows and heifers seen here for weeks
caused the session to drag. Killers
are simply oversupplied on poor beef
quality. Other butcher lines were
steady.
Hogs.
The hog market faltered on Tues
day when the trade weakened about
ten cents, but during the remainder
of the period $S.OO proved to be a
substantial price basis for choice light
weight swine. A big volume of busi
ness was transacted Monday and
Wednesday. Monday had the second
largest single day's run of the year,
but live pork outlet seems to be broad
enough to absorb liquidation t; daie.
Sheep.
The sheep house furnished some ex
citement Monday when a few decks
of fancy lambs sold at $6.00, a new
record for the season. Oilier varie
ties brought $5.50 and $575. Nothing
sensational visited the mutton division
as most of the transactions consisted
of medium grade ewes selling around
$.165 and $.175. Prime ewes sold at
$4.00. ltcsl vear Hugs are considered
-teady at $475 and $4.90; old sheep
$4.50.
