MARRIED YESTERDAY
Miss Sylvester of This City,
One of the Principals in
Interesting Ceremony
The nuptials of Racheal Valentine
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Sylvester,
and Colin Lorne Campbell, agent at
Cobalt, of the Hamilton Powder Co.
took place yesterday afternoon, after
which a reception was held at the resi-
dence of the bride's parents, Firleigh.
The house was very tastefully decor-
ated with Shasta daisies and roses, the
predominating color being yellow, car-
ried out throughout the house in all
the decorations. The bride was very
tastefully attired in a crepe de chine
dress, trimmed with Irish point lace.
The bridesmaids were the Misses L.
M. and Ruby Sylvester, both of whom
looked charming. The former was at-
tired in blue eolian, and the latter in
white Siciliam cloth. The groom was
supported by Mr. Jesse P. Sylvester.
The groom's gift to the bride was a
handsome bracelet of diamonds and
sapphires, while the bridesmaids re-
ceived pins of pearls and torquise. The
presents, which were numerous and
costly testified to the popularity of the
recipients.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell left on last
night's boat for Vancouver on their
way east to their future home in Co-
balt, stopping on the way at Banff,
Glacier and Winnipeg. There was a
large crowd of relatives and friends
down to the boat to see them off and
bid them adieu.

MARRIED IN VANCOUVER
Mr. S. D. Schultz, of This City, Takes
Unto Himself a Bride.
A well known Victorian became a
benedict in Vancouver on Tuesday last,
when Mr. S. D. Shultz was married
to Miss M. Squarebriggs, for some time
past a nurse in Burrard Sanitarium.
The ceremony was performed at the
Presbyterian manse by Rev. Mr. Laird,
only intimage friends of the contracting
parties being present. Mr. William
Zuck, of this city, supported the bride-
groom, and Miss Tanner was bridesmaid.
The happy event was the culmination of
quite a romance, the acquaintance be-
tween thre bride and groom having been
formed when the latter was a patient in
the hospital. The happy couple left on
the steamer Ramona for the Sound on
their honeymoon trip, and before return-
ing will take in Portland and other
points of interest. They will make their
home in the Terminal City, where Mr.
Schultz will practice law. His many
Victorian acquaintances extend to him
and Mrs. Schultz their best wishes.

pany, and Mr. W. B. Sylvester, of Syl-
vester Bros. The best man was Mr. C.
B. Sylvester and the bridesmaid was
Miss B. Brooker. Mr. and Mrs. Syl-
vester will leave to-night for the Sound
on their honeymoon tour.

A HAPPY EVENT.
Miss May V. Sylvester Becomes the

Firleigh, the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. F. Sylvester, was the scene of a
happy event yesterday, when the mar-
riage of their daughter, May V. to Mr.
Abe Ellis, of the Colonist, was cele-
brated. The house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion by friends of
the bride, who were present in great
numbers.
The bride was gowned in white silk
with an overdress of silk mull. Valenci-
ennes lace and ribbons were profusely
used to finish the toilet. The brides-
maids were Miss L. M. Sylvester, in
pale blue nun's veiling and blue accor-
dion chiffon trimmings, and Miss Ray
Sylvester, white nun's veiling with burnt
orange velved, and Frank R. Sargston
acted as groomsman. A reception was
held, at which many friends of the
bride and groom attended to extend their
good wishes. The happy couple left on
the Princess Victoria on a trip to Port-
land, San Francisco and as far as Mon-
terey. After their return they will make
Victoria their home.
The presents were numerous and select,
including a handsome chair from the
Colonist employees, with the best wishes
from all. The groom has been a mem-
ber of the staff for many years.
