Apropos of ' the celebration of
the 25th anniversary of the Mar-
riage of Judge and Mrs. J. B.
Wells last Saturday evening the
following from the Cosmopolitan
of November 5 1880 is appropri-
ate at this time:
THE WEDDING LAST NIGHT.
The Catholic cathedral in this
city was crowded last night with a
large and select congregation
composed of the elite of this city
and Matamoros. The occasion
being the marriage of Mr. James
B. Wells the talented younglawyer
to Miss Pauline-J. Kleiber daugh
ter of the late Joseph Kleiber of
this city. At an early hour in the
evening those intent on witnessing
the interesting ceremony began to
assemble at the church and when
our reporter reached there a little
before seven o'clock the edifice
large as it is vas so croweded that
it was with difficulty he effected
an entrance. The interior was
brilliantly illuminated and the
chancel and - altar very prettily
decorated with flowers.
At about half past seven o'clock
the bridal party arrived and Prof.
Krausse who presided at the
organ struck- up' that beautiful
and appropriate piece that Venij
Credo by H. Maillard and in a
few moments the bridal party
passed up the central aisle. First
came the bride escorted by Dr. C.
B. Combe followed by the bride-
groom and Mrs Kleiber mother
of the bride; then followed the
bridesmaids and groomsmen as
follows: Mr. Jas. A. Browne and
Miss Agnes Powers Mr. C. F.
Tilghman and Miss Rita Michel
and Mr. Henry E. Hord and Miss
Anita Michel.
As the party reached about mid-
way up the aisle the choir began
the Veni Credo and continued
singing until the bridal party
! ranged themselves at the chancel
railing where the Rev. Father
Parisot awaited them who per-
formed the marriage ceremony.
As the Father pressed the wedding
ring on the bride's finger the
choir sang The Twining of the
Bridal Wreath from the opera of
Der Freischutz. Father Parisot
then addressed the bride and
groom: after which the newly
wedded pair entered the vestry and
signed the register passing iin
mediately to- their carriages; the
organ in the meantime filling the
church with'peals of glad music
and were at once conveyed to tht
residence of the bride's mother
on Elizabeth stroet where an
elegant supper was spread.
The bride looked beautiful. She
was arrayed in a dress of white
Swiss trimmed with satin and
vaienciennes lace; it was cut with
a princess train and the long bridal
veil swept over the dark tresses
crowned with a wreath of orange
flowers.
Quite a large number of elegant
presents were given by the many
friends of both families; some very
elegant silver ware being received
Among the ornaments of the
supper table was a miniature ship
on the mainsail of which was
inscribed "Tenie and Jimmie."
This wedding was by far the
most recherche that has taken
place in this city for some time; i
both the contracting parties stand
very high m society and the!
Cosmopolitan joins that they may
have a long and happy future. j jSfs
It was a miarter of a centurv '
last Saturday since was chronicled
the event mentioned above and
during the twenty-five years that
intervened the worthy couple have
witnessed many changing scenes.
Time has dealt kindly with them
and their "silver wedding" day
finds Judge and Mrs. Wells enjoy
ing the manj' blessings of a life
spent happily together. It was a
happy gathering of friends many
of whom had witnessed their start
adown life's pathway together
that met at the hospitable home of
Mr. and .Mrs. Wells on last Satur-1
day evening to celebrate in a fit-1
ting manner the quarter century of j
their married life.
The evening was spent in various
ways the time passing swiftly by
the aid of sundry amusements; the
older ones present indulging in re-
miniscences of the time when the
worthy couple first started upon a
life filled with bright promises for
the future while the younger ele
ment passed the hours pleasantly
in other ways. The punch bowl
that emblem of good cheer was
presided over by Misses Mattie
Hicks Irene and Marie Browne
and Anna Kelly and in draughts
of this delicious beverage were
pledged eternal friendship and the
universal wish that Mr. and Mrs.
Wells should enjoy with friends of
a life time many returns of their
wedding day.
Many beautiful costly and use-
ful presents were received by Judge
and Mrs. Wells from here and else-
where all betokening the high and
universal esteem in which they are
held. Following is the
