A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE.
A Romance That Began in California
Ended in Matrimony,

EnQeC IN MdtTIm0nys
Californians naturally looked for some re-
suits from the recent editorial excursion
which this city has had the pleasure of en-
tertaining the members of. AID it cannot be
doubted for an instant that the results have
not been had, but there was one result
which California will not get the benefits
Of although we may be interested in it.
OF course the returns are not all in yet,
but advices received in this city are to the
effect that the exhilaration of our climate
was too much for at least two Of the men,
bers of that excursion, and the immediate
result was that they fell In love. the
lasting effect of which is SET forth in the
news, Just received in San Francisco, OF the
marriage of Hon. johnson Brigham, of the
Cenar Rapids Republican aud president of
the Iowa State Republican League, to Miss
Lucy Walker, a bright newspaper woman
of Ottumwa, Iowa
Those who had hand In the entertain
ment of the newspaper folks during their
stay in San Francisco will remember both
of them. The little bud Of love that has
now ripened into fruit was then just OPEN
ing, but even then 1t gave promise OF Its
perfect maturity.
One who accompanied the excursion from
this city on the trip through the southern
part OF this State gives most interesting
sadditions TO the little romance.
One incident will serve: While the ex-
| cursion train was en- route from Riverside
| to San Diego one Of the young gentlemen
| of the party sought TO engage Miss Walker
| in conversation. She chattad with him a
| minute and then suddenly remembered that
she must go back to her car and write a
| letter home.
Happening to pass through this car him.
| self moment later, the gentleman found
| her seated alOnpstdp of MIR RriUham-but
| she was not writing any letter home.
And 80, along with all the other adverLis-
ing California has got out of this editorial
excursion, comes this recon mendation OF
the wonderful efficacy Of her malchless-
no. that won't do-superb climate.

then surviving Children, shares alike. In case
of the death OF either child his or her share
Of the income was TO go to the children OF de-
ceased. The trust was not to terminate
until each OF the Judges children had died,
and then the principal was to be divided be-
tween his ehildren's children.
Trustee Madden resigned within year
afterward and e. f. Die Hastings sue

Other ladies express their sentiments at

Among other letters received yesterday
was one from Miss ). Solomans, secretary
of the Woman's Club of San Francisco, In
closing the following:
Alta special meeting OF the WOman's Club OF
San Francisco, held February 90 the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. We, members OF the woman sGluD
OF San Francisco. regard the impending revival
OF the fashion OF wearing hoopskirts az oo1ec.
tionablc, on the score OF health. comfort and
beauty. and tending to check the Advancement
already made in woman's dress; aud whereas,
In order to avert the Threatened evil united effort
In the line OF personal influence is required;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Anti. Crinoline League
proposed by the San Francisco CALL Is
worthy movement In good cause, and that as
an association or individually we extend TO IL
our hearty approval aud support
There has been such rush to secure
membership that an extra number of certf-
Gates has had to be printed to meet the
demand. These certificates Will probably
reach the members to-day.
Those ladies who have given no address
can receive their certificates by applying at
THE CALL Branch Office on Market street
Quite n number of gentlemen have begged
10 be allowed TO join the league. They say
il is to their interest TO keep out crnoline,
and once admitted to membership they
would bring every man in the city into the
league.
But their applications were not even cor
sdered. Women must fight crinoIine, and
the glory of the victory will be theirs.
Fight it, Why, the members already
enrolled in the league are strong enough 10
do that as far as this State is concerned, and
they are strong not only in numbers, but In
pluck and enthusiasm.
To the lady readers of THE CALL would
say If you have not yes enrolled your name
as member of the Antl-Crinoine League
fill out blank, incl0se it in an envelope and
then write on one corner "crinolDe." and
either mail or send it to THE CALL office.

Following the opening of few chestnut

Immediately after the close of his last lee

LAKE COUNTY REJOICES.
Citizens of Lakeport Say That the
Change Will Be Beneficial to Them.

LAKEPoRT. Feb. "a The news of the
sale in Judge Angelotti's court of Marin
County to a San Francisco syndicate Of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Railway
reached here to-day and was received with
general satisfaction by the citizens of
LakepOrt.
Immediately upon receipt of the news
little groups Of men gathered on every cor
ner and discussed the transfer, the gen.
eTal impression being that the sale of the
road to the syndicate would rebound TO the
benefit Of Lake County. A coal com psDy
has recently been formed here for the pur-
pose of building a short road from the
DOnahue line near HOpland to the margin
of Clear Lake al or near Lakep0rt and IL is
confidently expected that the new owner Of
the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail
way will lend their encouragement and aid
TO the scheme, as the development of the
lake by the proposed railroad connections
would cause an extensive increase of traffic
over the line Of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railway
