WIRELESS FEAI
S. S. ALAMEDA
Talks to the Government Wireless
Station at St. Michael While
Docked at Valdez.
The wireless operator on the S. S.
Alameda was in communication yes
terday afternoon with the wireless
station at St. Micnael, tveather con
ditions allowing the sending and re
ceiving of messages all the time that
the boat was in port.
The -wireless operator at St. Mi
chael, a government station, wired
to the Valdez cable office, over the
land line, inquiring if the steamer Al
ameda was at the Valdez dock, as
they had just caught a wireless mes
sage from the steamer giving her po
sition at “just docking at Valdez.”
The St. Michael operator is a doubt
ing Thomas, so he verified the fact
by sending to Segt. Joe Smith, a close
friend, but Joe told him to step
on his toe as it was the real goods
that the Alameda was tied to the Val
dez dock. Then the two operators,
one a thousand miles away at the
mouth of the Yukon, and the opera
tor here in Valdez on the Alameda,
talked together as .f they were in the
Same room.
Arthur Lang, clerk of the district
court, today received a message front
John Goodell, deputy marshal at Sit
ka, telling of the death yesterday of
Pete Steinmetz, one of the best known
prospectors and miners of Prince
William Sound, who had been sent to
the home at Sitka for pioneer Alas
kans. Steinmetz had been sick for
many months and spent a few weeks
at the Hospital of the Good Samari
tan before he went to the nome. He
owns much mining property on the
sound and has always had great faith
that the Prince William Sound dis
trict would be one of the best in
the territory and has remained here 1
prospecting for the past twenty years. !
We wish to announce to the public
that we now nave on display our new
line of holiday goods, just received on !
the Sampson. Children Toys and j
fancy China. Also a large shipment
of furniture, at Rudolph’s.
George Fawcett, of S. Blum & Co.,
returned to Valdez on last night’s
steamer from Cordova, where he went
to temporarily relieve the shortage of
men in the Cordova store of the
above firm.
JESSIE’S WEDDING
THIS AFTERNOON
(Continued from page 1.)
beautiful diamond pendant. A single
Canary diamond weighing six and one
half carats is surrounded by 85
smaller diamonds arrang d in a pear
shape and attached to a neck chain,
in which many small diamonds are
sot.
Five hundred factory girls in New
York sent a beautiful hand-embroid
ered petticoat to Miss Wilson as a
token of the regard the girls have for
the young White House bride, who
aided them in the recent strike in
New York and who has done much
settlement work for the poor.
The wedding cake weighs 135 lbs.
and is two and a. half feet tall, in
cluding the vase of white orchids,
which is placed on top. It cost $500
and contains nineteen different ingre
dients. The cake will be distributed
in 2,000 dainty we 'ding boxes.
The wedding gown made in New
York is, according to all bridal tra
ditions, being kept concealed until
the wedding. Mrs. Wilson was pres
ent at the final fitting, but no one
else had even a peep at this most im
portant item of the trousseau. And
this, in the face of assertions that
Miss Jessie Wilson has no supersti
tions and enjoys being described as
the t irteenth White House bride.
While a private view of the wed
ding gown is denied even to the clos
est friends of its wearer, it is known
that the model selected by Miss Wil
son calls for a three-yard court train
the full width of the satin, with the
foundation skirt in the prevailing sil
houette, that is, close to the ankles
but with a slight crinkled effect at
the hips. The skirt is slashed at
the side seams in the back, so that
its wearer can walk gracefully the
entire length of the corridor from
the State dining room to the impro
vised altar of bride roses and white
crysanthemums that will extend
across the large central window of
the East Room. These slashes, how
ever, are completely concealed by the
train. The top of the gown is sur
pliced draped in the satin, which is
as soft as any of •.he French weaves,
but of a purer white tone than is em
ployed by the Paris couturiers. The
wedding veil will be of tulle held by
the conventional orange blossoms.
A second white gown, which the
bride-elect has tried on for the bene
fit of a few close friends, is of ivory
tinted velvet, and has just come from
Paris. This shows several new fea
tures in addition to the fabric, which
is a long-piled weave of the finest
spun silk, making the wrong side a
smooth, surah i ke surface. All of
this helps in the making of the gown,
which fits its wearer with the cling
ing, soft lines usual to crepe or chif
fon. The model is one piece when
completed, but, cut separately, the
skirt being three yards wide at the
hem, gathered at the waist line, and
ending in a short, broad-pointed train.
There is no trimming or drapery I
about this skirt, but at the hips is
folded a sash of the velvet which l
ends in one long tab-like end, perhaps
twenty-two inches across. This falls
directly down the back, and is cover- i
ed from its hem almost to the waist I
line in the new shadow embroidery
of the Wort' or Premet schools in j
gold and silver threads.
There is very little of the velvet |
shown above the belt, possibly three j
or four inches rising irregularly over |
the kimono bodice, which is entirely j
of th shadow embroidery or cream

chiffon, lined and Interlined in net,
shading from ivory to flesh pink. The
sleeves are uncompromising kimono
in shape, and end midway between
wrist and elbow. The neck is round
and only medlumly low.
The embroidery is delicate, as its
name implies, sinking deep into the
long-piled velvet, while on the chiffon
it rests lightly as frost on the win
dow pane, but distinctively metallic
in its effect.
