An audlcnco of nearly 1,200 pco- i witnessed it. Captain Louis Sherman lake of Hastings , Nob. , a six-foot soul Ivor , was the groom.

Yet. if smiling faces Irror happy hearts , the newly wedded mplo wcro rich indeed. * Just before the ceremony all the delegates i the intcrstato war congress , about 200 In. amber , paraded the streets. It was an itn- > slng pageant. Sorno of the warriors were ountod. The majority , however walked , Deluding the groom , who carried n Hag tal fluttered almost as much as his heart. The AVcMlUK March. "Joo the Turk" led the parade mounted on prancing sorrel horse. Joe was gorgeously ttlrcd in full Oriental costume , from fez to wt. The infantry marched with regimen- il stride to the soul Inspiring tunes of two aads , the rattle of tambourines and vocal lirlatlons from " 00 throats. The training arrlson was in lino. In the center of the ara'do , seated In a carriage drawn by .TO whlto horses , sat thn bride , accompanied y Mrs , Major French and Mrs. Adjutant i , rrls. Malor French rode In the rear of no carriage. A bridal escort of eight ' ilvation { maidens attired in immacmuto chlto , from head to foot , inarched at the ides of thocarringo. Even the ordinarily irosnlo coachman seemed to realize the > ootry of his position and the necessity of /earing a costume that would harmonize Nth the surroundings ho were a white inen duster over his every day suit. Crowds of people lined the sidewalks and heercd the cplthalamlc p.irado. Men who seen prone to rldiculo the Salvationists n the past watched them vtlth serious and Siad attention. A man with a 'hallelujah" ' jag , at the corner of Sixteenth , nd Douglas streets , attempted to march alongside the bridal escort , but ho was promptly pulled back into the throng by a sturdy railroad man and emphatically ad vised to keep quiet. The parade disbanded at Exposition hall and the participants entered amid an en thusiastic welcome from a largo audience that'had already assembled. The delegates io the congress took their scats on the plat form. Suddenly they sprang to their feet and "flred a volley. " The band plavcd an enlivening tuno. Amid the deep-mouthed greeting of the big bass drum and vociferous VOcalisms from the Salvationists the bridal party came down the aisle and mounted the Cage. The audicnco applauded. , 1'reluilo of Frayor and 1'raUo. Captain Boatty and Ensign McAbce led in pi'ayor amid the fervent ejaculations of the delegates. The Jones sisters , two colored Salvationists of acceptable vocal ability , then favored the audlcnco with a duct , which won them several encores. Major French followed with an address. Kg poured hot shot into skeptics. In con- closlon ho referred to the wedding about to talto place and explained that Salvationist marriages had a spiritual meaning. Ho bo- Moved that whatever was done would bo done to the glory of God. The major then I read from the red ritual book of the Salva tionist creed the conditions upon which ho Vrould marry the now candidates for matri- onlal honors. The marriage was not .rictly for lovo. It was to Do embellished ! th devotion to the Salvationist cuuso. 'ho. homo of the new orldo and groom was ot necessarily compelled to have a fern- eafed motto of "wclcomo" over the door for alvationlst ofllcers. It was understood the latchstrlng would always bo out. .lielr homo was always to bo open for the optsoro pilgrims of the red and blue. Upon tueso conditions and with assurances lat they would bo do voted to the cause the > jldo and bridegroom advanced to the front t the stage. The bride was suffering from severe cold , but the groom's voice was in pod shape ; in fact , the echoes of his ro- , < oiisqs , it Is said , roverocratcd along the ransliuvlal blufls. Major French made ovoral Ineffectual efforts to get the gioom attlcd , , But the tall staff captain from lastings had his nerve with him , and it tayed with him right through the trying ind tying time. The bride , however , was lot so invulnerable and her Grecian features JfBro carmlncd with n scries of blushes. The croom's toilet was JefTcrsonlnn in its simplicity. Ho were a smllo and everyday uniform of the Salvation army soldier. A tash of red , whlto and blue buntlug drooped Istlossly across his shoulder and was tied In k pseyho knot at his side. Ho was nccoin1 tanlcd by his best man , Captain Carter. liar Wedding Dross. 'iTho bride was also simply attired in full imllorm With the regulation bonnet. The frlvoltlcs of fashion had no charms for her. A corsage bouquet of whlto roses adorned her dress. A white- silken sash with the in scription "United to God" completed the toilet. She was escorted by Captain Lily Mingles , first bridesmaid , and eight maids of > onor. The ceremony was a sltnplo ono and docs hot differ materially from > the marital ser vices of the orthodox churches. The bride ind groom repeated the marriage ritual. Iho usual" ! Mill" WHS rendered and the rnxmi slipped iho icgulation ring on his bride's finger and then with clasped hands tbo wro united as man and wifo. At the .conclusion of the ceremony. Captain Blake Itooped over tenderly and Imprinted n kiss ' on the lips of his brido. The upplauso that followed this act of devotion was deafening. > i With willing voices the great throng then gave Mr. and Mrs. BInko their only wuddlng present In the form'of u version of the line old Twenty-third Psalm "Tho f/ml , / Is My Bhpphcrd " The newly wedded couple then made a few remarks the substancu of which was an expression of their happiness. The groom Is 23 years of ago and was for years , a brakcinan on the Pnilrlo lu Chlen division ot tl'o Chicago , Milwaukee , t St. Paul road. Ho was converted to the Salva tionist faith at Sioux falls three year ago. Ho has been staff captain at Hastings , Net ll. , for bouio tlmo. The bride Is from Washing ton. Iu , , and is also captain in tbo hallulu- JBU uraiy. She is 25 years of ago . and exceedingly modest. She it aid to bo an expert in the culinary art. If tbo way to n man's heart is through his Btowacb. us the c.vnlo hath phrased it , Cap tain Dlako should be doubly happy over his choice. Mr. and Mrs , Blake go from hero to Clin ton , la. , to assume charge. Clinton is gener ally regarded as a hard battle ground for tbo Salvationist and its sinful eminence will i bo fur from u path of roses for the now couplo. At the conclusion of the ceremonies Major French took the * up inevitable collection to defray the expenses of creating several tab ; ernaclcs in Omaha during the summer inoutiu , "Joo , tuo Turk , " iu nwpouso request from the major , sank upon his knees In prayer ' upon tbo stage and closed the meeting by n unique supplication in which hoi referred to the good work of the cause and the "stlckabllity" of the Salvation army.
