TOBIN - DIMOND MARRIAGE.
NOLAN. .TREADWELL NUPTIALS.
Archbishop Riordan Mates Two
Happy Couples WelI-known
in Society Circles.

For a second time within a month Gen
eral W. 81. Dimond has been called upon
to perform a duty pleasurable at all times
to the heart of fond father. but at the
same time Invariably mingled with the
slightest tinge OF regret when regarded
from a parental point of view. For sec
ond time within month he has led fond
and accomplished daughter to the altar Of
Hymen. only TO consign her TO the care of
a worthy and loving husband.
Shortly after o'clock last evening Miss
Mary Gray Dimond. youngest daughter of
General w. II. d mond, was united in the
bonds of matrimOuy to joseph Sadoc
Tobin, a son of the late Richard Tobin. at
one time prominently identified with the
Hibernia Savings and Loan Society, at the

circle OF friends.
The young people are both natives OF
San Francisco, and ever since their advent
into society circles have enjoyed the re-
spect and esteem of all who have the
pleasure Of being numbered among their
list of friends. The bride is scarcely past
her majority and of late years has been a
prime favOrite in the social world. while
the groom enjoys the distinction of being a
prosperous man of affairs in legal and
banking ci-cles. He was educated at the
College of ST. lgnatius in this city, and in
addition to being an attorney-at-law. is one
of the directors of that well-knOwn local
institution. the Hibernia Bank. Since the
death of his father he has resided at the
home of his mother. on the southeast cor
ner of California and Taylor streets.

expressing it mildly inasmuch as the
surroundings, decorations and exquisite
robes were never eXcelled, and seldom
equaed in the annals of San FranCisco's
social history. The handsome residence
of General Dimond was transformed into
a verita bic fairy bower, the entire interior
resembling en- artisticalIy arranged series
of floral chambers. The outer walk and
steps were covered with a long canvas
awning leading to the main doorway, and
AT this point most beautiful sight greeted
the eye.
The hallway was arched with branches
OF fern, intermingled with festoOns of
smilaX, while punches of choice chrys-
anthemums dotted the ceiling at artistic
intervals. Especially for this occasion an
| apartment had been Constructed at the
rear end of the residence. and this, like the
hallway. was bedecked with refreshing
foliage and the choicest of flowers. The
interior arrangements of the house cannot
be excelled when used for an event of
this character. inasmuch as all the rooms,
when connected by the opening of the
.olding-doors. form one spacious apar'-
ment, separated only in this instance by
arches OF fern and smilax. The breakfast
room, dlning-room and rear dining-rOom
were indeed marves of beauty, adorned
as they were with Turkish drapery and
vases OF choice cut flowers.

from the foreyard. There were no other
incidents or accidents until the afternoon
of September 10, when land was sighted.
The vessel was off the coast of Mol0kai
and going along under close sails. Captain
Wolters was on deck and ordered the sails
reefed, as he did not care to reach port un-
til the following morning.
When the vessel was about three miles
from shore the captain gave orders to
stand off from the shore. The order was
obeyed promptly. but as she turned the
current caught tie craft and drove her in
toward the shore.
Captain Wolters did all in his power TO
prevent her from drifting toward the
foamiDg cliffs of the shore, but it was all
in vain. Even as she was half turned
around on the tack her bow struck one of
the jagged rocks with fearful shock.
The vessel rebounded, and Captain VOL
ters thought she would st II get clear. The
current, however. was too strong. II
caught the vessel and buried her once
more against the reef, and this time she
stayed there.
A gaping hole had been kaocked in her
iron bottom, and the water rushed in.
Steadily but surely the bark listed to port,
ing more could be d0ue.
The spot where she lay thus stranded
was in the very shadow of the black cliffs.
One glance convinced all that there was no
hope of effecting landing on the shore al
the base of the cliffs, for the breakers
were rushing against them with tremen-
dous force.
The prospect for those on board the i'll
fared craft was not an enviable one. They
did not know what moment the vessel
might 90 to pieces and give them their
choice of death-that of sinking to rest in
the bosom of the waters at the base of the
fatal coral .eef, or of being dashed against
the ragged face of the foa ming cliffs.
The bark had compartments though in
her hull and could not sink so easily, an
Captain Wolters assured his men that
there was no Immediate danger. Through
it all he preserved a remarkable GOODNESS.
After consultation with his mate he de.
cided TO take to the boats and make for
Honolulu.
He, however, ordered the cook TO pre-
pare a substantial meal for every one be-
fore the start was made, and during the
next hour was presented the sight Of a
ships crew, not without anxious fears
though, sitting down to meal while their
vessel was pounding upon reef and In

Captain VOTERS did not lose any time,
however. He hast ly packed up few
things from his cabin aud threw some pro-
visions in the boats.

From all that can be learned the wreck
came about in peculiar way. and at first
it seemed that Wolters was to blame for
not eTly handling his vessel. This
was afterward shown TO be false impress

Warned Him,

As an elderly man mounted the chair of bootblack in Smith6eld street bar Der shop the other day he said: "Now, boots, want you to be careful of that right foot. Deal gently with it."
 "Oh, that's all right, boss,' said the colored bootblack as he set to work. Il know what corns is, boss"
 "I haven't any corns," said the GUS toner. The boy polished and rubbed away, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he ventured, Well, bunions is just as lad as corns, boss"
 ''It's not bunion," was the reply of the gentleman, which more than sur prised the bootblack and piqued his curi- osity.
 He kept rubbing away at the shoes, evidently weighing in his mind how he could get at knowledge of the trouble in his customers foot. Finally beam of intelligence spread over his thoughtful features, and he said, Well, rheumatic is worse as is either corns or bunions."
 He then stopped and looked expect antly into his customers face, but look of complete bewilderment took posses sion of him when the man in the chair said, "No, never had rheumatism"
 By this time the boots were polished, so the gentleman got up, and after shak- ing himself stepped down from the plat form. But the bootblack's curiosity had been aroused to point where it had to be satisfied. so he threw away the indi- rect method and asked his customer point blank, "Say, boss, would you mind telling me what's the matter with your footP'
 "Why, certainly not" was the reply. ''I lost my leg in the army, and wear a wooden one. I didn't want you to get the mechanism of the ankle out of gear"
 The bootblack was so surprised that he dropped the dime which the man gave him.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

What Bicyclists Have Learned.

A curious objection urged against road reform is the assertion that it is a move ment simply for the benefits of riders and makers of bicycles. A narrow path answers every purpose of the riders of bicycles, and it is far more reasonable to suppose that the bicyclers, composed as they are of intelligent, enterprising and public spirited men, have been pc culiarly impressed with the horrible con- dition of the roads in their trips through the country, and that they have learned to appreciate the benefits that must come to the farmers, and through the farmers to the cities, from improved public thor oughfares. - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

 five kinds of time, so we never know whether to open the box office on stand ard, local or sun time. Sometimes in addition to this they go partially by the courthouse clock or the clock on the big gest and most prosperous church. This latter is locally called Gods time."
 It is so in Ashland There good many go by the clock in the big church tower.
 Recently an engineer was killed there by collision, and the pastor closed the sermon by saying:
 Our dear brother has gone from us, and we as his mourning friends regret that he was taken so suddenly. ere he had time to repare-snatched away in the full flush of health and before he had time to prepare his soul for a future state, a life among the saints and the elect-and Iwish that 1 might bring my self to believe that this man, who died in the discharge of his duty and while reversing his engine in order to save the lives of hundreds of men. women and children on his train, might be given a chance hereafter through divine mercy to prepare himself so that he could enter into the crystal city yet in Gods own good time...'
 At that moment the engineers fireman arose and said:
 Excuse me, elder, but Alick was 8 good railroad man, and you'll find when you get into Gods grea% roundhouse that Alick ran on railroad time and that he got in on time. He always obeyed orders and ran on the schedule. If you're lucky, elder. you'll find him there."
 He then wiped his brow with hand full of cotton waste and sat down.

 Yes, it's the same in my business '' said Raymond, "and everybody has to keep cool and be polite or work on the streets, where it isn't necessary.

 Some people think that man who is not talking or engaged i'll listening while some other man talks is unhappy, where. as it is often not only duty but pleas ure to engage in thought. So he came and slid in between my yalise and my self. He had a big dogskin overcoat, and had an Irish frieZe that would not bend any more than railroad bridge.
 He opened conversation with me and tried to draw me out but the truth is that I am very hard to draw out much when 1 am wedged into a seat that way. Finally we got to talking about local, sun and railroad time in Ohio.
