A FREAK WEDDING.
A wedding and a banquet both on chimney tops are the latest freaks of the present craving for novelty. The wedding took place at Peoria, Illinois, and the wedding banquet at Atlantic City. The bridal chimney was that of the' Peoria Gas Company, 250 ft high, to which Miss Letitia Alta Gale and Carrol de Vere Applegate climbed, attended by bridesmaid and best man. Judge Fox, of the City Court, climbed up to perform the ceremony, which was witnessed by several employees of the gas company. The banquet-hall chimney was that of a new hotel. A platform was erected at the top of the chimney, 150 ft high, and the dishes were hoisted up inside the stack. The engineer of the hotel and his seven guests climbed to their seats by way of an iron ladder on the outside of the chimney.
