Probably the only wedding break¬ fast on record to wbicb a bride and groom sat down In their own house and ate of the first delicately prepar¬ ed meal of the former, occurred In Preeport on Thursday morning at per- liaps 8.30 o''cioc1c Although tbe fact was not then known and for that mat¬ ter is not now except to readers of The Nassau Post, It la truth undla- puted.
The participants in this novel nup- tlal celebration were Dr. and Mrs. Willis Allln Wilder, who were married quietly at the Little Church Around the Corner, on East Twenty-Nlnth street. Manhattan, at precisely 5.30 on Wednesday afternoon, by the Rev. Richard Read, the rector. Following the simple ceremony which was at¬ tended only by Miss Elsie Smith, a life long friend of the bride and Dr. Constantine Logotheti, a close friend and confrer of the doctor, elaborate ¦upper was served at Shanley'a, but that In no way InterTereo wun tne event of the next morning.
Mrs. Wilder was formerly Louise McKee Clarke, daughter of Mra. John McKee, of 65 St, Paul avenue, Tomp¬ klnsville, S. I., where ahe was a pop¬ ular member of the younger social aet. Dr. Wilder is at preaent acting su¬ perintendent of the New York Poat Graduate Hoapltal in Manhattan. Thf wedding culminates a romance wblch dates back but a few months.

WnilAM G. MILLER A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
WiU Oppose W. W. Cocks For Re publican Nomination at Prim¬ aries—His Success Predicted
Although the delegation of Repub. licans from Naasau at the convention ot that party in River neaa on 'rues- day, took no part in tbe activities on the floor, and their purpose was not generally known, politicians are aware today that their visit had a real signi¬ ficance. Since their return the an- nouncemant has been made that Wil¬ liam a. Miller, former Aaamblyman from Nassau County and one of the foremost citizens of Freepon, wouia take tbe field in the Septembr prim¬ aries against former Congresaman W. W. Cocks for tbe Republican nomina¬ tion for CongreBs.%
The announcement that Miller will run, coming as it does following the withdrawal of Fred Hicks from the race is considered signincaui among politicians. Botb men had a large fol¬ lowing and the conteat for tho nomina¬ tion, if it is carried to a final issue, is certain to develop an interesting cam¬ paign.
It is conceded tbat the former as¬ semblyman WiU have tne support ot Rbpabllrana in his bome county as well as many in Suffolk. Hia pandl- dacy, it is tlie opinion of the political wise acroB, was made known at the psychological moment, and his sue cess is freely predicted.
The forthcoming election Is likely to be one ol tbe most spintea in years. Congressman Brown, it ia un¬ derstood WiU have as his opponent Martin T. Ifanton the well known at¬ torney for the Democratic nomination and tbus Car there has been no an. aanoancoment from th* PrpgrosslToa.
J. Huyler Ellison, who represented the Freeport Lodge of Elks at the convention of the Hello Bill Society in Denver, has returned from a long trip through the west witb a glowing story of its wonders and a lariat (one that was carried by a real cowboy in Cheyeime) for hia aon and heir Huy¬ ler B. Elliaon, who has just reached the tender age of ten. ElUaon'a tales are flavored with the inspiration ol the wild and wooley and savored with an enthusiasm that Is entirely charac¬ teristic of the mau.
"I am impressed with the west," lie said on a visit to the office of The Naaaau Post yesterday, "It Is the moat hospitable country I waa ever in. It Is a land of business prosper¬ ity of activity—in shoal of everything that goes to make a man what ho should be: I often wish there was a Uttle more' of the western spirit here in the eaat. It would have a remark¬ able effect on business and evei^thlng elae."
The delegation from the Freoport Lodge was small. Beside Ellison, who was the first Exalted Ruler of the in¬ fant lodge, there was Owen Kennedy and his sister Miaa Agnes Kennedy of Manhasset. Tbey traveled lo the convention city in a apecial train chartered by the Jersey iCly Lodge, going flrst to Niagara, then across to Canada, and on to Cliicago acrosa Lake Superior. From thla windy City the train was routed to aKnsas City and then to Denver.
"When we arrived in Denver, I paid a vialt to Mra. May oCrnwell who was formerly Mlas Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William P. oJnes of Freeport Immediately I felt at home, but if I had not the weaternera would tiave made me do so. They put forth every effort to make the guesta comfortable and happy. There was nothing that anyone wanted that they did not have while they were in Denver. The keys of the city were turned over to the ^:lkh -the herd ran rampant.
As announced in The Nassan Post Ellison left Freeport on July 9. He arrirved in Denver on July 13 in lime to witneas a drill of the flre depart¬ ment of thc city in the street It was a spoclaiHilar scone. The flremen ran Iheirladders up the sides of the busi- neaa housea and played streams of | water Into the atreeta. On the fol¬ lowing day, with a party of sight seers the Freeporter with his travel¬ ing companions, Mr. Kennedy and , Miss Kennedy, made a trip to the "Top of the World," a Rocky Moun-| tain peak, in a blinding snow storm. ^
Ellison aent a number of post carda from there, many of which were blur¬ red by the moisture.
"On July 14 the great industrial pa¬ rade was held. It was the greatest pageant I think I ever saw. It seem¬ ed as though there were miles of floats typlfyia^ agriculture, mining and cattle raising. Whole grazing scenes were shown with cattle and di-er on these floats. It was estimat¬ ed by the Denver newspapers that more than 75,000 persona saw it.
"The news of the aCrman-Bailey murder mystery caused no little stir among the westerners. The bulletin boards told hourly about the new do. velopments in the caae. I kept in touch with tho affairs at home by read¬ ing the daily reports about it. And in the convention hall several of tbe boys shrunk back when the saw mo. •Look out for him,' they aaid, 'thafa Ellison from Freeport. He's got a gun.'
".he convention was in seasion on July 14 for part of tbe day and ou tne noxt evening a great electrical pa¬ rade was held. It conaiated largely of automobiles decorated with myriads cf lights. The city itself was ablaze. Th'.' cars were trimmed with vaii-col- 01 ed papers, graa.sea and rtoweiB. There were hundreds of them. On one the full form of an Elk was aet up on a platform in front of the hood of the car. It looked as though it wore leading the machine. On still othera were Elks heads with the ant¬ lers lighted with colored electric bulbs.
"The greatest demonstration was on July 1*, when the Elks held their pro¬ cession. We were not abel to see it all but it was wonderfuL Members of lodges from all parts of the country If not in the world were in line. There waa a delegation from Manila and another from some far away country in the east.
"Then we left on our trip through tho land of the mountains and uun- sots. Firat we wont to Colorado Springs and visited Pikes Peak, Man- atiu and Crystal Park on the top of the Rockies. We apent tho day there [in the grandeur of the most beauti- I ful mountain scenery I had seen up to that time.
I "From Glenwood, Col., our next stop we went to Hot j^pringa and then to Salt Lake City with its hundred fool streets and wonderful Mormon tra¬ ditions. The city is layod out in an absolutely symmetrical way, and oulte in accordance with the original plan of Brigham Young. The avenue.-^ are
asphalt from beginning to end and the dty is as clean aa a hotmd's tooth. Some of tbe party went up to Saltair and bathed in the Great Sau Lake. Thla Is the water In which no one can sink. Tou can sit up in the vater and read a newspaper withont difliculty.
"We began tbe most wonderful part of our Journey when we loft Ogden, Utali, and started on a 120 mile drive through the Tellowaione Park in stage coaches. We had the flrst sight of the great geysers there and saw wild animals running about as many of us hnd never seen them before. As we rodo on we passed through the great black pine forests.
"Wben we arrived at the Hotel Old Faithful the thermometer was 35 do-' grees above zero. We were told that chickens couldn't live there and re¬ gretted it. But everybody was inter¬ ested in the boars. They are fed with refuse from the kitchen at a place set apart for the purpose about half a mile from the hotel, .M'ter supper we went to Ibis break and saw them eat. At ewT crossing of the roads that we passed in traveling about near \ the hotel we saw members of tho Bruin family strutting about. Hut they never attack anyone unless an¬ noyed. I not some little jiiiif in-os there and somo mountain tlowers which 1 have already plaiited in iny garden in Freepoit.
"After our trip througli tlie .Nation al Park we went on to Clieyeuiie where we got a glimpse of the real wild and wooley west. One man there lold us that he had guile a littl.-
ranch. In describing it be said that from a point a mile up the railroad it ran for amout twenty-flve miles in one direction and about twenty in the other. He was raising more than 60,- 000 head of sheep and aa many cattle. This is where 1 got a lariat for my boy from one of the cow boys. From there we came on back by the Santa Fe route to Cliicago and then back to New York."
At one place in the mountains Elli- fcon says there is a sprmg known as the crystal spring which Is famed the world over. Anything thrown Into it becomes covered with lottle cry.=fal.« within a short lime.
