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."

John Williamson Xevin, who was

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.

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.

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

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.
