An Old Landmark » Totally Destroyed.
The Presbyterian Church is Bo Bore,
And the Parsonage is Badly Damaged.
At 10:30 a. m. Friday, fire and
smoke were seen issuing from the
study of Rev. Bishop, which is in
the cupola ot the Presbyterian
church aituated on Burnett avenue,
near Gandy street.
A strong wind was blowing at the
time and when the department came
upon the scene the cupola was a
mass of flames which in a few mo-
ments spread to all parts of the
building.
At the corner ot Main street and
Burnett avenue mire water was
pouring out of the rjtten hose than
was being played upon the church
edifice. The pressure, in conse-
quence was very weak and the water
hardly reached the top of the church.
There was another mishap. The
nozzle to the most powerful hose
that was in use came off. If there
had been plenty of water the church
edifice could not have been saved, it
was one of the fiercest fires that has
visited the city in year*.
The church being doomed the
fire department turned their atten-
tion to the parsonage which adjoins
the church on the north.
The flimes from the church liter-
ally engulfed the parsonage, and it
did not look possible that any human
agency could save the building. It
was in flimet at aevtral points and
the roof smoked like a forest on fire.
There was a crash of glass, and the
Aimes swept inside the building,
through the windows.
In the meantime the church fire
had about spent its fuiy and the
framewoik was falling into the mas*
ot burning embers beneath.
A powerful stream ot water was
directed to the south and east por
tion of the parsonage. It was a he-
roic fight for the heat was awful,
and hundreds of spectators cried:
“How can the firemen *tat d it?'
but they did, and they stood to their
posts manfully.
The dire calamity culminated
when the hose was earned to the
second story and the water turned
onto the blaze which was all over
the south portion of tne parsonage.
The building was saved but the sec-
ond story is a mere charred shell.
The destruction of the Presbyter-
ian church eliminates an old land-
mark. It was one of the first places
of worship, erected in this city about
twenty-five years ago. About
eighteen months ago it was rebuilt
and remodeled throughout; the seat-
ing capacity was made larger. The
best people ot Denison are mem-
bers of the church, and it will cause
a feeling of sadness to see the old
historic landmark swept away. The
insurance was held by Lingo &
Sharp and was as to Hows; $1,200
hon furniture, $3,500 on building,
and $350 on the piano. The par-
sonage was insured for $2,000, and
nearly all o* the furniture was saved,
but in a damaged condition.

The recent communication of the
President, in regard to the appoint-
ment ot negroes to public offices, ia
condemned by the member* of hia
own party without stint. Not that
they take issue with the principles
voiced by Mr. Roosevelt,. but be-
cause they regard bis letter as a
neediest and foolish utterance calcu-
lated to do no good and possibly to
make enemies for himself and par-
ty. “It is Quixotic and I suppose
it is honest, but it is foolish in the
extreme, worthy of a school boy
rather than of a politician,” said
prominent Washington republican.

that Assistant Justice T. J. Brown
Is dangerously ill at Austin. A dis-
patch to The Dallas News of the

very bad night and was not much
better the next day. He had been
confined to his bed two weeks with

The report comes from Judge
Brown’s friends in Sherman that the
Austin dispatch is misleading. The
Judge has been ailing but his con-
dition ia not at all serious.

an exchange, of whose goodness
there was a question, but who was
regarded as a pillar of the church,

somebody tacked a telegraph blank,
with these word*: “Heaven, 9:30

WEARY WILLI* WALKER. <
An unusually strong tramp L f It
whst the opera house management prom-
ise tor next Tuesday night, December 9.
Well, there haa been some unusually
weak ones and a strong one will certainly
be a relief, and judging by what is said
by the press elsewhere of Weary WUlie
Walker, the coming attraction, It la all
that is promised by Manager Eppsteln,
or a* an Irish manager of a theatre east
said, “If (bis 1* the kind of play vou like,
this Is just the play that will suit you.”
But to be a little more explicit we will
say that from all along the line, where
the company has been seen, only th*
highest press mention has been made
and all teem to agree that It la the liveli-
est, brightest and funnieit play of this or
for many seaaons.

Mr. Charles B. Hanford, the eminent
American tragedian, whose splendid pro-
ductions of Shakespeare and other plays
are always met with enthusiastic welcome
whenever and wherever they are ottered
to the public, will appeat at the Danlson
opera house, Wednesday night, Dec. to,
in. Much \do About Nothing. Booth,
Barrett and Keene have all passed away,
and Charles B. Hanford, who haa been
so closely associated with them, and
whom th* th*ee predicted a fame and a
fortune of a most brtlliant career, is the
natural heir to the place left vacant by
them, Mr. Hanford’s name U already
stamped indelibly upon the page* of the
dramatic history of America, and he
stands today as a representative of the
highest type of histronic art. Mr. Han.
ford haa mads elaborate preparations this
saason for bis production of “Much Ado
About Nothing,” a a
some respects surpasses
the Shrew for
Utible humor.
In spite one of the wont atuTola
that baa visited this section in many
a year, the Presbyterian church was
thronged to the portal* Wedoeaday
evening to witness the nuptial* of
Read Markham ot Sherman, and
Miss Lelin Birch.
It was a notable gathering, the
very best people from tbu aty end
quite a number came over from
Sherman to pay homage to the oc-
casion.
The church bloomed like n trop-
ical garden; there was a rare prolu-
sion of flowers, the lovliest and most
fragrant that grow ie our Southern
dime. The decorating was done
by a committee of ladies of the
church, composed of Metdames J.
H. Benner, B. F. Shepherd and
Young. The ushers were G. F.
Chapman, Charles Batsell, W. A
Murphy and Ned Gregg, of Sher-
man.
The most inspiring feature of the
occasion was the vocal and instru-
mental music. The edifice teemed
to vibrate with the lovely strains and
the grand Harmony of the organ.
Miss Myra Cobb played the violin
obligato and Mias Martha Little ac
companied on the organ.
In the profusion of flowers floated
out the lovely wedding song render
ed by Mrs. Lillie Brutsche Gregg,
of Sherman. On many an occa-
sion this beautiiul young woman
has performed a similar service, but
never did her voice sound so deli
ciously sweet as on Wednesday
night.
The bridal partv entered the
church as follows: First came the
four ushers, walking two by two,
then came Miaa Linley Munson,
maid of honor, then tne lovely bride
leaning on the arm ot her father.
The bridegroom and bis best man,
Dr. R. F. Miller, of Sherman, had
entered the church through another
door and took their places in front
the pulpit while the bridal proces-
sion was progressing up tbe aisle.
The beautiful and impressive cer-
emony was performed by the Rev
Arthur Bishop. Dr. Birch gave bit
daughter awav, and the vows taken
were sealed by a pretty ring service
The bride was one ot tbe most
lovely Objects ever seen at the altar.
It she had excused herself front the
angel choir and descended to earth
she could not have appeared in
more radiant form. It was the most
beautiful picture of innocent maiden-
hood that we have ever gazed upon.
The bride wore a lovely gown of
white Paris mousseline. She wore
a long bride’s veil, and carried in
her hand sprays of white roses.
Miss Munson’s dress was also o:
white, trimmed in pink. She ear-
ned a bouquet of pink roses.
Miss Munson, who is a beautiful
and elegant girl, enhanced the occa-
sion with her presence.
The Presbyterian church haa not
witnessed a prettier wedding cere-
mony.
It is no exageration when we say,
that we have heard the expression,
time and time again, “Miss Birch is
one of the best girls in Denison, a
lovely young woman," and many
other sentiments of similar import.
She was an affectionate and dutiful
daughter. She was a helomate to
her parents and always had an eye
single to their happiness. There
may be ns good girl in Denison,
but no better.
Ail unite in paying elopuent trib-
ute to her worth. It is n pleasure in
this age of shams to find a ,girl who
fills out the full measure of true
womanhood. Say what you will,
they are scarce. W e speak of the
fair bride as so many others speak
ot her. She is not only a cultured,
intellectual and beautiful girl, but
the is “a mother’s girl,” domestic in
her tastes, a graduate of the kitchen
and boudoir, can entertain in tbe
parlor and perform tbe household
duties. A girl that everybody
praises must be exceptionally good.
She is an only daughter nnd it ia liks
tearing the heart strings to see her
go, after so many happy years spent
under tbe parental root, but it ia n
great consolation to know that her
future destiny ia in the keeping of a
young man who ia every way worthy
of the love nnd trust confided to hia
care.
No young bride ever had a larger
circle of friends. She is popular
because she is worthy of tbe estdbm
ot every man nnd woman who wor-
ships at the eltar of true woman-
hood. No matter tne pomp or the
preciousneaa of the bridal gifts the
magnificent display that waited upon
tbe marriage, there was something

iis associates in tbe bank in which
be bolds a responsible position apeak
in tbe highest terms of his worth and
business character. He ia a splen-
did young gentleman who stands at
tbe top ot the ladder in social and
business circles.
This union is a happy affinity, a
case of tbe deepest and truest love.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
a reception was held at tbe palatial
home of Dr. and Mrs. Birch. The
bride and groom were tbe recipients
of a large number of valuable, ele-
gant and useful gifts, which, if
enumerated would fill a large apace
of tbe Gaxkttter. In fact they re-
ceived a sufficient number of article*
to give them a good start in bouse-
teeping. Turn days previous to tbe
nuptial*, Mias Brutsche, a friend of
the bride, gave e linen shower, and
then there was n stocking sbower,
nnd the bride will not have to buy
any hose for several years. Tbe
nuptial at tbe home of the bride’s
parents was a private affair. The
doctor and wife are very plain, sen-
sible sort of people and did not wish
•ny frills which characterize public
receptions.
The groom and bride lett for the
south and will visit New Orleans
and other points. No person or
persons wish them more happiness
than the Sunday Gazetteer.
