CAPTAIN GOODALL WEEDS.
He Is the Senior Mem Der of
the Firm of GoOdall,
Perkins & Co.
The Bride Was Mrs. Carrie J. Hath
aWay-A Quiet Ceremony by
DR.. HirSt.

Captain Charles Goodall of the firm OF
Goodall, Perkins & Co. was quietly mar
ried yesterday to Mrs. Carrie ]. Hath
away by Rev. DR.. Hirst of the Simp-
son Memorial Church.
The captains engagement was an
nounced last July, butthe date of the we'd
ding had peen communicated to only
few intimate friends, as it was intended
that the ceremony should be very
simple and transformations one. The cere-
mony took place in the afternoon at the
home of the bride at % Shotwell street.
1t is probably the last ceremony of the
kind at which Rev. DR.. Hirst will officiate
prior to his departure for Chicago.
The newly married couple left directly
after the wedding for Monterey, where
they will pass their honeymoon.
Captain Charles Goodall is senior part
ner of the old shipping firm of Goodall,
Perkins & Co. His son, Edwin Goodall,
who resides in Oakland, has, however, of
late years taken his place largely in the
active management of the business with
Senator Perkins. Another son is the WELL
known commander, Charles M. Goodall.

ON TIE SUWANEE RIVER.

In times past Opie Reed has given us some
fairly readable tales of Southern life, but
in this latest work from his pen there is
naught worthy of commentator.
There is an impossible real estate agent
who employs a pretty unknown as his
clerk and assistant. He has literary
daughter, named Sappho, whose fine SEN
sibilities are offended at any mention of
business. and who marries a red-faced
horse doctor, who calls her "Saph," and
makes love to her while examining horses
feet. There is q minister of the gospel
who, when he is not swearing or com .
pounding a felony with villalnous de-
tective, is preaching sermons that move
sinners to repentance. He has sister,
who is wooed and won at midnight on the
river bank by road agent, who declares
he will become honest, "the Governor will
be only too glad 10 pardon him for the
sake of inducing him to leave the road, I" if
Ellen will only marry him. So Ellen con-
sents, and the ministerial idiot gives them
his blessing. He is in love with the pretty
unknown clerk, who is accused and sup
posed to be guilty of murder.
The minister spends most of his salary
buying the silence of detective" who
has discovered her whereabouts, and
there is a perfectly lovely slush of agony
all round until it comes out that the girls
alleged victim committed suicide. Then
they all grow maudlin. The minister
avows his secret affection, the girl returns
it, land so he married her." Chicago,
ILL.,: Laird & Lee.

lection of the flora of other lands. There
is scarcely a corner of the earth that is not
there represented by thriving specimens OF
its fora. A trip to Santa Barbara will
enable the botanist to study, at his cool
and luxurious ease, the plants otherwise
to be known only by laborious journeys to
the uttermost parts of the earth. Flowers
to be encountered in Southern France, on
the Riviera, at Naples, in Sicily, and other
parts of the Mediterranean basin, at the
Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores, in
the South Sea Islands, the Caucasus and
the Himalayas, in Southern Africa and
elsewhere, grow there in profusion.
All this will not be particularly surpris-
ing to Californians, who know something
OF the possibilities of this goodly land, but
we fancy Eastern readers will regard with
wonder, if not with incredulity. the state
ments made in the book recently issued by
DR.. f. Franceschi on Santa Barbara exotic
flora. This is handbook of plants from
foreign countries grown about Santa Bar
bara together with large amount of use
full and interesting information regarding
the region around that beautiful bay. 1t
is very comprehensive little volume, and
the author has shown considerable shrewd-
ness as well as gallantry in dedicating ii
to the ladies of Santa Barbara. Santa

NOTES..

Maarten Martens. whose latest novel,
"My Lady Nobody was noticed in this
department last Sunday, is of mixed pa
rentage, his father being German, his
mother Dutch. The authors full name is
J. M. w. Van der Poorten Schwartz. He
was educated in Germany, but his home
and all his sympathies are in Holland.
He lives in Neerlangbroek, Holland, and
delights to be known as Dutchman. He
is 81 years old and has written several
novels. Curiously enough he does all his
writing in English, of which language he
is master, only few easily understood
Dutch idioms appearing here and there in
his work.
Miss Ina Coolbrith is recovering from her
long Illness Work on her forthcoming
volume of verse is being rapidly pushed by
the publishers, Messrs. Houghton & Mil
fin, and it is expected that it will appear
in few weeks. The book is to be very
handsomely got up, with original illus
trations by William Keith.

"Plumping in a few raises like that will
run the figures over 50 on City and County
taxes alone. / admit that street improve
ments are great necessity, but under the
present circumstances m strongly against
any such move"
The motion was lost by the following
vote: Ayes - King, Scully, Benjamin,
Hirsch, M orgenstern and Wagner-six.
Noes-Dimond, Hughes, bunker, Tay-
lor, Hobbs
Then rollcall was demanded on the all
important matter of the tax levy as sub
mitted by the Finance Committee. Before
voting Dimond and Taylor protested that
the figures were too high. The vote was
recorded as follows:
Ayes-King, Scully, Benjamin, Hirsch,
Hughes, bunker, Morgenstern, Wagner.
Total, 8.
Noes-Dimond, Taylor, Hobbs. Total, 8.
Absent-Spreckels.
The increase of the police force by
seventy-five men means that 1914, 100 must
be added to the figures submitted by the
Finance Committee. This raises the levy
1924 per cent. and fixes the County rate
at $1.567. AS the State rate was fixed by
the Board of Equalization at 1856 the
proportion for State and County purposes
reaches total of $2.252.
The levy, as fixed by the board, provides
for the raising of $5,014, 1875. The revenue
from other sources will be 81, 1856 900. Some
of the important appropriations provided
for in the levy are as follows: School De
partment, 100000; police officers sala-
ries, $704, 100; Fire Department employees,
$3s5,000; water for municipal purposes,
$185,000 lighting streets, 100000; main
tanning Golden Gate Park. $500, 900; sala-
RES for for last fiscal year unproyided for,
$500, 600; street repairing, $526, 500.
License Collector Lees was granted a
leave of absence from the State for 60
days.
Supervisors Wagner, Benjamin and
Hughes were appointed committee to
ascertain what the three lots east of the
old City Hall could be bought for. If too
much is demanded condemnation pro-
ceedings will be regularly begun for their
requirement under the law of eminent do
main.
The clerk was instructed to advertise for
proposals for the construction Of a sewer
through the Preside reservation to drain
the Pacific Heights district.

SANTA BARBARA EXOTIC FLORA.

Santa Barbara, world-famous for its an
nual floral fiesta is veritable flower gar
den the year round. Not only is the region
about the picturesque little city notable for
the abundance and variety of its native
fora, but it is peculiarly placed with ref
erence to many of these. large number
of plants from the north find there their
southern limit of distribution, while still
larger number of those belonging to the
south find their extreme northern range
about Santa Barbara. Thus growing in
the CANYONS there may be found Thus laur-
ina and the rare Nephrodium pateus, a
beautiful fern of tropical Africa and Amer
lea. growing side by side with the beaut1-
full Styrax California; and the buffalo berry
of the north.
But aside from its natural floral advan-
tages Santa Barbara has enjoyed, even
under the old Spanish regime, the distinc-
ton of being populated by people partlcu-
larly devoted to fower-ralsing. Perhaps
the natural adaptability of the soil and
climate may have stimulated this tendency
in the Santa Barbarian, native or adopted.
At all events, no other city in flower
decked California to-day can boast in its
private gardens so large and varied col
