DOESN'T MIND B WHT Miss Jessie Wilson Has i ber Has Brought ] Ofkni* Wklfp Hi V/lllVI f T 1UVW 4k A' Hoodoo numbers have no terrors! for Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of President Wilson, j Her father's career has been strange- 1 ly intermingled with the supposedly unlucky number thirteen, and now. Miss Wilson is to marry Francis Bow-: es Sayre and become the thirteenth bride of the White House. But the daugther of the President is not one of those persons who decline to sit in the thirteenth row at the theatre, or object to being the thirteenth guest at an entertanment, says the Washington Post. Many times has j Miss Wilson defied the superstition about the number thirteen, and sat | in the thirteenth row of a theatre j with her father, who prefers to sit in that row, and regards the number as perticularly lucky, at least with, regard to himself and his family. For thirteen years President Wil-; son was connected with Princeton University. In his thirteenth and final year, there he was nominated for the Presidency of the United States. He became President of the United States in 1913. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Wilson and Mr. Sayre was made, by coincidence, on the first anniversary of Woodrow Wilson's nomination at Baltimore for the Presidency. Interest in Settlement Work. Miss Wilson is 25 years old, and was born at Gainsville, Ga. She is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and an honor member of the class of 190S at the Woman's College, Baltimore. For two years after her graduation she engaged in settlement I work in Kensington, Philadelphia. She is a member of the national exe-; cutive board of the Y. W. C. A., and j in this capacity paid a visit to the Night Court for Women in New York city, together with Mrs. J. Borden j Harriman, last winter. She also visited the Children's Court. In Feb-j ruary last Miss Wilson addressed the Legislature of Delaware in behalf of a ten-hour law for working women.! "ine legislature yasseu we um. When the Democratic Convention was in session at Baltimore, Miss Wilson arranged a diagram at Seagirt, X. J., showing the situation, and which she changed as the delegates changed their votes. While the bal- j loting was going on the members of ! the Wilson family sat and watched the diagram, which Miss Wilson cor-! rected as the reports came in from the Convention Hall. i Resembles Her Mother. Miss Jessie doesn't resemble her father as much as do her sisters, but has rather the features of her moth-i er's family, the Axsons. She is athletic and likes tennis, riding and swimming. She is also something of an orator. Addressing a number of school girls on the enjoyment of settlement work in Philadelphia in November, 1912, Miss Wilson said: "There is no charity in the work, but self-sacrifice and interest in others." At the biennial Convention of the j Young Women's Christian Associa- j tion in Richmond, Ya., in April last, Miss Wilson spoke before crowds that filled two churches, and was then j compelled to address an overflowing meeting. In St. Louis in April she also addressed a large audience on "Thoughts in Captivity," taking as her text the fourth and fifth verses of II Corinthians. In January she spoke at the vesper services of the Y. W. C. A., on "The Joys of Service." 1 Francis Bowes Say re is 2S years old, and was bcrn in South Bethlehem, Pa., a son of the late Robert Hevsham Sayre, who built the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and at one time was assistant to the president of the road. The elder Sayre also built and became president of the Bethlehem Iron Works, since known as the Betlile hem Steel Works. He was also once J president of the board of trustees of Lehigh University. I Law Graduate of Harvard. Francis Bowes Sayre was graduated from Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, X. J., in 1904. and from Williams College in 19(>9. He entered Harvard Law School and was graduated "cum laude." He was a member of the Sigma Phi Fraternity, Gargoyle Society and the Phi Betta Kappa at Williams. For the past year he has been working in the office nf Dicrriot Attorney Whitman, of New York. He left the office a few weeks ago to take Bar examinations for New York State. As soon as he is admitted he will be made a deputy ! assistant district attorney under .Mr. Whitman. Mr. Sayre's mother is Mrs Martha! 1 EING 13th rE HOUSE BRIDE no Hoodoo Fears?NumLuck to President, ouse Weddings. Finlay Sayre, daughter of the late John Williamson Xevin, who was president of Franklin and Marshall College at Lancaster, Pa. She is a descendant of Hugh Williamson, of North Carolina, one of the framers of the Constitution of the United States, and is a sister of the late Robert J. Xevin, head of the American Church at Rome, and a cousin of Ethelbert Xevin, the composer. White House Weddings of Other Years Recalled. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Wilson is public declaration, at least, that her mind is undisturbed by superstitious scruples. She will be the thirteenth bride to make her marriage vows beneath the roof of the historic home of Prenidents. When the American electorate selected Woodrow Wilson for President millions of feminine minds occupied themselves in endeavoring to guess which of his three charming daughters would have the temerity to place herself under the spell of fateful "thirteen." It was practically conceded that with three attractive girls, all of marriageable age, dwelling in the Eexecutive Mansion, one or more weddings would take place in the White House before another four years elapsed, but the superstitious element of the public was disturbed. Cupid Dispels Superstition. Superstition, however, it is asserted. has never held any terrors which Dan Cupid could not dispel, and the women of the nation have simply been engaged in determining which of the Misses Wilson would be the first to relinquish the honor of living in the White House to seek a home of her own. And while one is discussing White House weddings, it might be interesting to run back over the years in which there has been such an edifice to review what the past has offered in this line. The first which comes to memory is that of Alice Roosevelt, the most elaborate of all White House weddings, which caused to pour into that mansion presents from every corner of the globe until the value of a king's ransom was collected. The Longworth-Roosevelt cere? ?~ in tho <aact room Ilivjii > was |jc?iui mtu iu seven years ago last February. Miss Roosevelt's Wedding. Miss Roosevelt was the fourth daughter of a President to became a bride, and a greater concourse of guests filled the house than had ever assembled there for a similar function in the past. For months the reading public had been furnished with the details of hew the bride's brocaded princess gown was specially woven in the silk mills of Paterson; of how Miss Roosevelt herself had designed the wreaths that formed its pattern, and of how the workman under whose hands it passed won a twoweeks' vacation and a $50 reward for his performance. Xo less notable, if less pretentious was the wedding which had preceded that of Representative Nicholas Longworth and Miss Roosevelt, for here a President of the United States? G rover Cleveland?was the bridegroom. His bride was he beautiful Frances Folsom, who has recently remarried. Their wedding took place in the blue room in June of 1S86. Miss Folsom was only 22 years old, much younger than her portly bridegroom. Emily Piatt's Quiet Marriage. The Wedding before that of the Clevelands, which was performed within the White house, was that of Emily Piatt, a niece of President Hayes, who married Gen Russell Hasting, in 1S78. the ceremony being performed in the blue room. This was a comparitively quiet affair, particularly when contrasted with the spectacular wedding of four years before, when Ellen Wrenshall Grant had become Mrs. Algernon C. F. Sartoris. This wedding took place in the east room in IS74. The costuming and customs were slightly different in those days. One account of the wedding reads: "He wore the regulation English wedding dress, and carried a bouquet of orange blossoms and tuberoses. nnntra nf r>inlr lulftc FVflm v. 11 ii ci v.cn ii t yy i ~ this centre arose a flagstaff, on which floated a silver banner, on which was the word 'love,' in silver letters. "The bride carried a bouquet of choice white flowers and a pearl fan, with lace cover. The bride changed her attire, and was ready for the cars in fifteen minutes." Further back in history was the wedding of Elizabeth Tyler, daughter of the President, who. in 1S42, married William Waller, of Williamsburg. Ya. It was while a gueet at AIKEN FARMER WOUNDS THREE. Both Sides Refuse to Make Statements to Newspaper Men. Aiken, July 24.?Jason Spires, an extensive planter and foreman of the Aiken county grand jury, today shot and wounded three men. None of the injured men will die. The victims of the planter's bullets are Moseley and Jenks Randall, two well known young men of the county, and Dock Latimer, a negro about 65 years of age. The shooting occurred near the home of M>r. Spires between 7 o'clock and S o'clock this morning. The wounded men were brought to Aiken where their injuries received attention. Jenks Randall was shot in the left groin, the bullet passing through the body and coming out at the back. Moselev Randall was struck twice, in the upper right arm and the right chest. The negro received a flesh wound in the left side. A connected story of the affair is not to be had. Neither Spires or the wounded men will make a statement to newspaper men. The Spires and Randall families have not been on the best of terms. The Randalls were in charge of a road gang working a highway known as the Silver Bluff road, by orders of the county commissioners, and it was on this road the difficulty occurred. Although The State's correspondent did not succeed in sucuring a statement, S. E. Holley, rural policeman, one of the arresting officers, says both Spires and the Randalls talked to him. From this officer's statement it is gathered that the wounded men claim Spires said that he would shoot the first man lifting a shovel of dirt and shot Moseley Randall when he threw dirt in the wagon. Jenks Randall ran to his brother and was shot, according to this story.. The rural policeman says that Spires told him the Randall boys used provocate language and that Moseley Randall advanced on him with a pickaxe, he shooting when Randall got close, and that the other two were shot as they picked up the pickaxe. Sheriff H. H. Howard and Policeman Holley arrested Spires without difficulty and he is now arranging for bail. Business Instinct. "incredible as it may seem, there are actually New York millionaires who pay their chauffers $150, $200 and even $250 a month and for such wages these men will only run the car. They won't wash it, or dust it, or reapair it. Only dress up pretty and run it." The speaker was Representative Floyd; the occasion a Yellville banquet. He continued: "They tell a story about a New Yorker with a $200 chauffeur. This man had along with his other troubles, a spendthrift daughter, and one morning the girl said to him: " 'Father, I insist on having that $700 Poiret dinner gown. If I don't get it, then I'll elope with Auguste, the chauffeur.' j "The old man chuckled. "She went to his arms calmly, and, patting his bald head, she asked: " 'So I get the gown, do I?' " 'Why, of course you don't!' he re- j plied. 'You get Auguste. I owe him seven months' wages.?New York Herald. | this function that Daniel Webster gave his views on love. A bridesmaid had expressed surprise that Miss Tyler should be willing to retire from I the White House to live in a humble residence in a Virginia town. Mr. Webster remarked in reply; | Love rules the court, the camp, the grove. For love is heaven, and heaven is1 love. Marriage of a President's Son. Jackson's administration was re- j plete with White House weddings. The first bride to be given away in the Executive Mansion during his tenancy was Delia Lewis, of Nashville, who * ' xt married Alpnonse josepn iver mgeot, a member of the French legation. Mary Easton, a niece of Mrs. Jackson, shortly afterward was wed to Lucien B. Polk, and Emily Martin, a relative of the President, was the third bride, marrying Lewis Randolph. Having reviewed the marriage of several daughters of Presidents, one comes at length to the wedding of the son of a President, that of John Adams, who married his cousin, Mary Hellen, in 1S2S. The ceremony had its accompanying gayeties, the President and the guests tripping the Virginia reel and other dances of the day. Marie Monroe was the first President's daughter to wed in the White House, her marriage taking place in 182U. In 1812 Anna Todd, a cousin of Dolly .Madison, became a blueroom bride. The year before Mrs. Madison had arranged the first of White House weddings for her younger sister, Lucy Payne Washington, the widow of a nephew of George Washington. GOVERNOR'S WIFE ROBBED. Mrs. Dunne Loses $700 worth of Jewelry in Chicago Store. Chicago, July 25.?Mrs. Edward F. Dunne, wife of Gov. Dunne, was robbed here yesterday of jewelry worth $700. The theft was committed in the rest room of a downtown department store. A handbag containing , the valuables was taken from her lap as she sat asleep in a rocking chair. As soon as the robbery was reported the exits of the store were guarded by detectives, and a search of the building for known thieves but no arrests were made.
