touched through the 10 minutes of
ceremony with a grave solemnity as
the President of the United States
stood by his wife, their faces a study
In deep emotion as they gave in
marrage the first of their children.
It was an Intensely human sight as
the meaningful words of the service
were spoken before an altar of palms,
ferns and white lilies.
DOUBLE RING SERVICE.
With a pretty double ring service
the couple were united and the assemblage
spoke the Lord's prayer
in monotoner. When the Marine band
struck up the wedding march of
Mendelssohn and from that moment
the White House was transformed
into a scene of gay animation and
Joyfulness.
A reception for the guests by the
President. Mrs. Wilson and the wended
couple followeo. The East Room
was cleared of its carpets and the
young folks danced well into the
evening, brilliant uniforms and elaborate
gowns gliding graefeully over
the gistening floor.
When the guests had gone the
bridal party sat down in the breakfast
room and the bride cut the wedding
cake with the sword of Dr. Cary
^ T. Grayson, IT. S. N., the President's
? physician and companion. Then there
was a merry dinner, an affectionate
good-bye and the couple whirled
away In a White House automoM)e
on their honeymoon. Their destination
was kept secret, but in a few
days they will go to Europe and return
early in January to Williamstown,
Mass., where Mr. Sayre will be

In the other half, north of the
green carpeted aisle, marked by
white satin bands, were the close
friends and relatives, in all about 300
persons in their elaborate afternoon
toilettes of blue, violet, pink and
green and with many a black velvet,

The Rev. Dr. Sylvester W. Beach
of Princeton, N. J., attired in a collegiate
gown, with a master's hood
of white silk, entered next with the
Rev. John Nevin Sayre, a brother of
the groom. The latter's white surplice
of the Episcopalian form was
in marked contrast to the dark vestment
of his colleague. There was
a pause of a moment and soon the
marine band spread through the
White House the strains of the

down the aisle and stooped upon the
floral altar. The brftle wore a diamond

room for a moment to obtain some
mild remedy. *When she returned he
was leaning over a dresser with his
head burled in his hands. She attempted
to assist him but he fell
into her arms unconscious. The family
phvsclan was called and every !
effort was made to revive him. At
1:50 this afternoon he passed away
with Mrs. Finley, three of his daughters
and his son at the bedside.
SUDDEN TO FRIENDS.
Until the end not ever Mr. Flnley's
i most intimate personal and business
associates knew that lie had been
stricken. Many of his personal friends
in, railroad circles were in the city
attending rate hearings before the
Intersate Commerce Commission. His
i only son. W. W. Finley, Jr., Connected
with the traffic department of
the Pennsylvania Railroad at Newark
N. J. was notified of Ills father's
, anndition and arrived at the house
about 15 minuets before the death.

to satisfy the needs of .1,000 hungry k
vagrants. The work of the various
charitable organizations continued !
throughout the day very close to the
program carried out in previous
years, notwithstanding that high
prices for foodstufTs made the work
more expensive than ever. >
At least half a dozen diners at (
each of which 1,000 to 3,000 persons
were to be served were provided and
in addition to this work of the regu- 1
lar philanthropise organizations, it t
appears that an unusually large num- (
ber of private benefactors had arranged
to help the unfortunate in '
one way or another. 1
In many ordinary households the |
dread sceptre of the high cost of living
dethroned the traditional turkey, '
the retail price of which had risen '
on the eve of Thanksgiving to 3 5 t
cents a pound for the best grades and <
25 to 3 0 cents a pound for cold stor- '
age fowls.
Although it had been predicted
that the arrivals of poultry which 1
were larger than for several years,
would show that the turkey was i
holding its own: the total receipts i
are said to hover about 25 tons less 1
in turkey arrivals than in other i
years.
According to retail dealers the 1
shortage is due to the fact that storage
warehouses are holding the birds i
already killed for the Christmas and
New Year trade and the farmers are
keeping their stock for another'month
so that the turkeys will he
fatter and command higher prices. (

the day in the seclusion of their

?!inly of President's Charneter, Ijor<l
Clianrellor Says, is Hevelation of
Ideals of Government.
London. Nov. 27.?The Thanksliving
dinner of the American Society
here tonight was noteworthy
jecause of pronouncement of the
Flritlsh government's indorsement of
he Monroe doctrine by Viscount Hallane,
lord high chancellor. Three
lundred and fifty American men and
tvomen with a large number of Brltsh
guests were present and they repeatedly
cheered Ix>rd Hal^nne.
Robert N. Fairbanks, president of
the society, proposed "The King,"
ind Lord TIaldane proposed "Th?j
President of the United States."
"I recently made a visit to the
[Tnited States." Lord Haldane said,
'and came back not only with a vivid
recollection of the cordial welcome I
received but with a deep sense of the
high ideal the British and American
nations held in common?the high
Ideals of citizenship of the two countries."
Referring to President Wilson, he
paid:
A THINKING MAN.
"Before he became President Mr.
Wilson was a thinking man and a
moralist. In studying his career T
rannot fail to he impressed by his
letaclied character and find that he
lias not ceased to he a thinker and a
moralist because he has become the
holder of a great office. We see in
him the aspirations and ideals of his
nation expressed to the world. It is
not only expressly declared that the
policy of the United States is not one
nf conquest or of annexation but the
world looks to the United States with
its enormous position and possessions.
to carry on its traditions without
adding to its nossessions.
"That is our course also. Nor is it
tho ease that when the United States
intervenes in any matter it is done
for its own advantage. Tt was not
tho raso with Cuba, to whom the
United States restored independence."
MUST GUARD THEM.
Speaking of the Monroe doctrine,
he said that the United States considered
herself responsible for the
liberties of the smaller nations of the
Western hemisphere. lie eonld see
what was in the mind of the President
of that time?that the responsibility
rested with the United States
to cecure good government and fair
treatment for those countries.
He interpreted President Wilson's
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsibility
of insuring good terms for herself
in those countries and to those who
went there and that the United
States should set up high ideals of
policy, of justice and of righteousness.
"I am not sure that any one should
speculate upon the interpretation of
that policy," continued the high
chancellor, "but I have thought myself
at liberty to say what I have.
It is true, indeed, that a high spirit
and a high aim should be brought
into the policy of the United States
in its dealing with adlacent countries.
and it is because the President
has taken the attitude he lias?a step
which none can but admire, whatever
its consequences may be?that
I propose goo.I health to Mr Woodrow
Wilson, the President, and Mr.
Woodrow Wilson, the man."
