 Charles Fair said three days ago that when he receives the principal of his estate he will publish newspaper devoted to tho record of the daily deeds of (. l.. Fair. in whom the public seems to take vast deal of interest
 The recent performances of this C. l.. Fair would be excellent material for the first number of his paper, for he astoundcd even those who declared that Charles Fairs | career left nothing uudonc that could cause | astonishment.
 His Bride Game From New Jersey. The bride at this wedding had two names One name was Caroline D. smith. That was the name that was her heritage and to which she was justly entitled. The other name was Maude Nelson The marriage was not announced by engraved invita- tions nor were there ushcrs and music and | bridesmaids.
 Charles l.. Fair and Caroline D. Smith, 1 known to the world in which she lived as Maude Nelson, left San Francisco for Oak | land Friday morning. When they alightcd, l Fair hired Pat Mullen hack for the morn | ing, and helping the prospective Mrs. Fair into it drove first to the county clerk $ | office.
 | When he finally got a license, it was for | Charles Lewis Fair. aged 3G, a native of | Nevada and resident of San Francisco, | and Carolina D. smith, aged 26. native of | New Jersey and q resident of san Fran l cisco
 MT. Fair left his prospective bride in the | hack outside while he secured the license. | Then he joined her, and they drove to the residence of Rev. Benjamin Akcrly, the ! aged rector of St. Johns Episcopal church | Father Akerly was not at home, and the good old man said that from the de~crip tion of the couple he would have refused to perform the ceremony. From his house they drove to the home of Rev. Mir. Church, the assistant rector of St. Johns. It was near the fashionable hour Of high noon.
 Hack Driver as n Witness.
 Mir. Church went over to the rcctory of the church and agreed to perform the ccre- mony. but the bridegroom had neglected 1 to secure the witnesses required by law. ! This slight difference was overcome by | calling in a hack driver for one witness, while MT Church sent to the house for one |,,Fs l., 1,.lS .l l., daughter of Dean Trew Mir Church's pred ecessor, responded. With these witnesses the wedding was solemnized according to the ritual of the Episcopal church.
 Mir. and Mrs. Fair drove back to the prin- cipal street with their witness coachman, indulgcd in the mild wedding breakfast oi a bottle of beer at a restaurant and then returned to San Francisco.
 When they arrived there Mrs. Fair drove from place to place obtaining all the photographs of herself she had given tc friends and acQuaimtauces. Then the bride and bridegroom left for santa Clara county.
 Before he started young Fair said hc would return to San Francisco Monday and on the afternoon of that day leave for the east and Europe. It was said that the pair was at Los Gates Saturday. but theiI names could not be found on any of the nOtcl registers. 1lc young people nave avoided the usual wedding routes, and friends profess not to know where they are
 James c. Fair, eN-senator of the United States, is man of abundant self control yet he could not conceal his distress and agitation when speaking of his son. Hi: handkerchief was crushed between hi. hands and laid upon the table before hin and again gripped as he spoke of the events of Friday.
 "I received telegram" said he, in forming me that the license was issued. sent out to learn who the woman Caroline D. Smith is, and I'm told that she is a com mon woman known as Nelson. She cam, from New Jersey, am told. know noth ing more. The boy is now nothing to Ele 1 shouldn't speak to him if l should mce him."
