A MERRY WEDDING FETE.
   In a crowded edifice, with the solemn words of the
minister falling upon a heavily perfumed and
flower-laden air, Mr. Harry King, son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. King, was wedded to Miss Hattie Rosenthal, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. E.S. Rosenthal, yesterday evening at
the Eighth-street Temple. There could not have been a
more certain testimonial to the popularity of the
happy couple than the large number of persons who
witnessed the ceremony. Not only was every seat
occupied in the sanctuary, but the aisles were
crowded, and many were unable to even gain admission
to the church….
   …The latter, as she approached the altar, was
accompanied by her parents. She is a petite brunette
of handsome features and charming manners, and wore a
trained white faille dress, with lilies of the valley
and diamonds for ornaments. Her mother, Mrs.
Rosenthal, wore black silk with diamonds, and Mrs.
King, the mother of the groom, was attired in black
net with diamonds.
   The impressive ritual of the Hebrew Church was read
with marked solemnity by the rabbi of the congregation
Rev. L. Stern,… At the conclusion of the ceremony the
bridal party was driven to Edel’s Hall, on E street,
where a dinner and reception were held…. Mr. Sam King,
brother of the groom, who acted as master of
ceremonies,…
   Simon Wolf responded to the first toast, … followed
by Mr. Beriah Wilkins, Mr. Solomon Wright, and others.
   Mr. King and his wife left on the 11 o’clock train
for New York, on an extended honeymoon tour. … upon
their return will occupy a handsomely furnished house
at No. 1024 Eighth street, northwest. Mr. King, who is
one of the foremost young business men of the city,
having been associated with his father for many years
at King’s palace, will engage in business for himself
on Market Space, …
   … Mr. Nathan Schoss, of New York, an uncle of the
groom, sent a check for $500, …
   The ushers at the wedding, which was the most
notable ever known in Hebrew circles here, were Samuel
King, Samuel Wallach, Joseph King, Harry Kaufman, Nat.
King, of Newark; Alexander Wolf, Henry Oppenheimer, of
New York; Harry Franc, Silas Rosenthal, and Lewis
Openheimer.  (Note: many of the guests were listed.)

Social Chit-Chat.
   The wedding of Mr. William H. Manogue and Miss
Lizzie McCaffery will take place at Trinity Church,
West Washington, at 1 o’clock this afternoon, and the
ceremony will be performed by Rev. Father S.A. Kelly,
who will be assisted by Rev. Aloysius Roccofort. There
will be no bridesmaids or best man, and the bride will
be attired in a traveling dress of gray cloth. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom will
leave for New York, and will be at their home, at 519
East Capitol street, to their friends on Wednesdays
after March 1. Mr. Manogue is a well-known citizen of
Georgetown, being the senior member of the firm of
Manogue & Jones, doing business at the corner of High
and Bridge streets, and Miss McCaffery is a daughter
of the well-known East Washington contractor, Mr. Hugh
McCaffery.
