The civil ceremony of the marriage of Queen WUhelmlna to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerln wav carried out at 11:30 a. in accordance with the program. Immediately afterward the procession started for the church, headed ty 50 Hussars, the bride, bridegroom and queen-mother riding In a golden stale carriage, drawn by eight horses. They were warmly acclaimed by the crowd assembled. The church was reached soon after noon.

Remember the Prayer of David. The court chaplain, Dr. Van Der standing before the" bride and bridegroom, delivered an address. His text was from the Fourth Psalm: "Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us." "The festal hour has arrived," said the pastor, "wherein the entire people has its share of delight. The prayer contained In the text embodies the essential conditions for lasting married happiness, which does not dejiend on external things, but on the disposition of the heart.

The prayer for the light of the Lord's countenance seems to suggest some darkness and it Is certain clouds will frtiow themselves at times in the conjugal heaven. "This union, which we today are celebrating, has already demanded sacrifices. The husband has had to leave his country and people and the bride has had to leave the side of a dearly-loved mother. In the future, to be sure, the reverse of life will fall to your bt. Do not then forget the prayer of David: 'Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

It will be necessary for you, if you are to fulfill thoroughly the duty of marriage, to fulfill the duty of love In your mutual relations. In that relation man Is the head ar. woman Is the heart. The psalm in this prayer will also be your help when you have to bear your mutual burdens, for. In marriage two sinners are united, each having his and her faults.

Finally, it is indispensable to the unity you have been called. "According to the command of God, 'These two shall be Now, only love can form and preserve this tta. But If you wish this bond not to be loosened, your heart must be filled with prayer. 'Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. i After the chaplain's address and after the nuptial benediction had been pronounced, the bride and bridegroom exchanged gold rings, according to the Dutch custom, and the wedding party then proceeded to the reception room, attached to the church, where the Queen tenderly embraced first hr mot hp? an then her husband.

The queen mother, too. kissed the latter. The bridegroom then kissed his bride and his own mother. it The newly wedded pair received the congratulations of their family and drove to the palace over the same route they had previously traversed. A gala wedding breakfast followed.

All the Illegal Saloons In Topeka Have Agreed to Close Business on Account of the Raids. Bpcetal to the Posrt-DIspatch.

TOPEKA, Feb. 7. The case against Mrs. Carrie Nation for (smashing the Senate Joint was called in police court this morn ing. About 100 of Mrs.

Nation's followers were present. At the request of the as sistant city attorney, Gregg, the charge was dismissed, and Mrs. Nation and the women In the courtroom then sang, "Nearer My Ood to Thee." Police Judge Magaw tried to stop the singing, but Chief of Police Stahl refused to Interfere. Topeka will be "dry" today. The saloon and Joint keepers have promised to close their doors.

They have given their word to sell no more liquor, and most of them have promised to remove their stock of goods. As a result of the Nation raids the chief of police and the county sheriff went sep arately there is no love between the men and they act Independently of each other from -Joint to Joint, warning the keepers to close up. The saloon men knew that in Jury Inflicted on Mrs. Katlon would arouse sentiment against them, and they desired to save their goods, so one after another consented to close his place. The sheriff says that not one refused.

The Senate saloon, near Fourth street and Kansas avenue, which Mrs. Nation de molished, is also to close. Chief Stahl of the police department, who Is in sympathy with "Mrs. Nation, said of the closing of saloon: "When I saw the Jolntkeepers it was to flemand them as marshal of the city to close their doors for the peace of the town and for their own safety. The situation has been serious.

The danger has not been so much from any harm Mrs. Nation might do the saloonkeepers as from the public sentiment against the saloons. The peace of the city demanded that the saloons be closed. I told the Jolntkeepers what I though of the matter and they agreed with me. They promised to close." Mrs.

Nation heard -the wwwr but showed little sign of emotion. thank God," she said simply. "But do you think this will do any permanent good? Do you think these sa.loons will stay closed?" "I think they will," she replied. "I think they are shut up for good. They will never open again If the women continue to be vigilant." "How long will you remain in "Until I am sure that I have kept the promise I made last week that 1 would stay until ivery joint was closed.

Then 1 will go elsewhere." A friend of Mrs. Nation's, walking with her down the street, asked her: "Mrs. Nation, why are you what you Why, first of all. are you never afraid?" She replied: "I5ecau.se I have given myself away; because there Is no left In me any more; because I have conquered, annihilated the in me.

It is of little consequence to me whether I live or die. Things do not hurt me any more. 1 have passed beyond that. This is why 1 am not afraid." MRS. NATION CRITICISED.

Chicago 'Methodist Church Organ Handles Her Somewhat Mildly. CHICAGO, Feb. its current issue the Northwestern Christian Advocate, the leading publication of the Methodist Kpls-copal Church west of New York, comments on Mrs. Carrie Nation's crusade of force against saloons In Kansas. It says In part: "We do not know how wise the lady is, but we hope she is aware that she has no more legal right to 'smash' a saloon window In Chicago than she has to hurl a stone through Bishop Merrill's front door or window.

At the same time, we agree with the lady that all liquor selling Is illegal according to the higher law. but It Is legal according to the lower law, in whose name Mrs. Nation is likely to te arrested if she makes trouble in the Chicago streets. "When people prove that they can make speeches and can take a basket of well-assorted stones and throw all of them accurately do all this after reaching middle life yet having had the grace i quiet In previous vears we them respect, and, therefore, must refrain from giving advice to them. Some innocent people may see that which the wis in this worlds wisdom see not.

We do not know. We shall wait to find out. and to rejoice If the lady from Kansas confounds the wisdom of every city ofliciul In Chicago." ULTIMATUM TO THE MAYOR. Citizens of Arkansas City Demand Closing of Liquor Joints. ARKANSAS CITY.

Death was due to contracted, It is believed, by the aged artist while on his way to and from the opera, it having been his custom for years to visit Music Kali at least once a week, so fond was he of music.

Schultze's pictures have been on exhibition in many art galleries, and have always been admired for their true worth by-lovers and judges of art. For many years it was his custom to exhibit at the Exposition -Tipping His In oil, showing three men at cards, while a dark-visaged man stood behind one of the players and signaled to another what he had. I regard it as a fine piece of work. Mr. Schultze valued at $1500, and it Is worth it.
