Marriage of Miss Pett Jones to
George Leslie Henry Of
Colombia.
A Fatal Accident to an Invited Guest
Throws a Gloom Over the
Proceedings.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
9O6 Broadway, July 80.

SOo broadway, July ~.
A Wedding full of innovations was that
of Miss PETIT Jones to George Leslie Henry,
wealthy planter of the United States OF
Colombia, which was celebrated last night
at the brides home IN this city.
Instead OF the wedding march Mrs.
Blake-Alverson sang "CalI Me Thine
own" while the bride and groom were
being led to the marriage bower, which
was formed of palms and roses in the bay
window Of the spacious dining-room.
The decorations were red in the dining
room, yellow and green in the sitting
room and pink and white for the brides
bower. The ceremony was conducted by
Rev. James Small, pastor of the First
Christian Church.
A banquet was laid with fourteen covers
and unique custom observed in serving
the wedding cake. The bride cut il and
passed pieces through her wedding ring to
the unmarried ladies at the board.
Mrs. Elmer Reed, Mrs. B. Alverson and
II. r. Havens carried out a short musical
programme.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs. II.
Jones OF Arizona and is very popular in
Oakland. She is one of five sisters who are
regarded as the most attractive quintet in
this city. G.. Leslie Henry owns exsensive
banana plantations in South America.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry left to-day for Mont
pellier, Ohio, and from there they will
spend year travelling in the East.
The only unhappy feature of the we'd
ding was the absence of MIR. and Mrs. A.
w. Rugg of Arizona. The Riggs were
very warm friends of the bride and had
sent an elegant present with the accept
ance ofthe invitation to attend the nup-
tials. Mr.. Rugg was accidentally drowned
in Arizona last week, and had circum-

rules do not permit of collections or petitions
officially made, and was therefore compelled
reluctantly TO abandon the idea.
Quoting the opinion of an Englishman liv-
ing in San Francisco, you state that Mrs
Maybrick had one of the iairest trials and per.
haps the ablest criminal pleader in the world
Sir Charles Russell, TO defend her." Lord Rus
sell came 10 this trial from the long strain OF
the Pigott-Times trial, and was really unfit TO
take the case, besides being badly instructed
Mrs Maybrick did not have an able defense
although Lord Russell has since done all In his
power to aid and benefit her.
As regards the alleged fairness OF the trial, it
may be well TO hear the opinion of another
Englis hman, Mr.. Stead editor of the Review
OF Reviews, who writes: This American
woman was sentenced to be hanged by g Judge
on the verge Of dotage, after the counsel for
the prosecution had remarked IL was impos-
slble 10 find a verdict OF guilty in the face of
the medical evidence.
''She was declared by the jury to have been
clearly proved guilty OF willfully poisoning a
man, whom the Home Secretary, sitting as
court OF appeal, found was possibly not mnr-
dered at ali: and she is now serving a sentence
which was not pronounced by the Judge for
an offense which was neither alleged against
her in the Indictment nor submitted to the
jury at the trial. No Englishman can feel
otherwise than ashamed OF having to defend
The manner in which she has been dealt with
by our courts and our Government. We shall
not be able to escape q gibbeting that is little
short of national humiliation. A sorrier ex-
hibition of all that is worst in the laundering
wronE-headed, illogical side of John Bull has
seldom or never given occasion for his enemies
to exut and his friends to VINCE
1t is 10 be hoped that Congress, which has
taken this matter up for investigation. Will
find some way OF inducing the English Govern
ment as an act OF International courtesy, to
release this long-suffering and unjustly ac-
cused and imprisoned woman, who has already
servitude for a crime that she never com
mitted.
Thanking you in advance, am, very tru1y
yours, HELEN DENsMoRE

ARRESTED HIS CAMERA.
Unpleasant Experience of Fred waiters
at the PresidIo.

OAKLAND, CAL, July 30.-Fred Wal
tiers, Berkeley bookkeeper, went to the
Presidio last Sunday. He was accompa-
MED by young lady and camera. He
saw a little scene with a sentry in the
foreground and at once proceeded to
"shoot" it.
A minute later Walters was placed un-
der arrest, and with his camera was
marched to the guard-house. Theiyoung
lady followed behind. The corporal told
the prisoner that it is contrary to the law
to photograph fortified stations, ard con-
tinued the march TO the guard house.
The comm anding officer told Walters of
the law, but only ordered the camera into
custody, and allowed Mr.. Walters and the
lady the freedom of the grounds till be
was ready to depart. When he applied
for his camera he was escorted to the outer
mall by soldier charged with the duty
of seeing that the law was not again vio-
lated. AT the gate camera and owner
were free.

Frank ]. Mofiti, DR.. Woolsey. G. w.
Baker and R. NJ. McKillican returned to-
day from the st. Louis silver convention.
Ex-senator Moffitt is ready for cam
paign work and now sees much to adj
mlre in PopuIism. The ardent Democrat
said tonight:
''The Populist convention was not a
beer garden filed with would-be orators
and bowling crsnks, but as dignified and
deliberate body as ever saw. Most of
its members were ex-Governors, ex-Con-
gressmen, United States Senators and
members of the present Congress. The
speeches were eloquent and the men were
ali sincere. They were not long-bearded,
as the caricaturist makes out, but Popu-
lists who were dressed just as neatly as
any other delegate of any other conven-
tion.
Jerry Simpson is not 'sockless,' but is
a bright, genial gentleman who was edu-
cateo in a college and has degree. He
is companlonable and was particularly
agreeable to the Callfornians.
''Cyclone Davis. of whom so much is
said, is tall, well-educated gentleman
and an able talker. l do not know any
body in this town who can talk as sensi-
bly, or as well as he upon political events.
Congressman Lafe Pence is another
leading PopuIist whom we met. He now
lives In New York and is an attorney-at-
law, but formerly represented Colorado.
He is neat-appearing and bright-looklng
young gentleman, not over IS years OF
age, and as entertaining and companion
able a man as we ever met and he spent a
great deal of his time with the delegates
from California and made many friends.
II have changed my mind a good deal
on the Populists-so would anybody if
they saw their National Convention.
They are not long-bearded, loud-mouthea
cranks, as many make them out 10 he, but
are good, living. sensible, well-dressed, in
teligent, earnest, honest men. There was
no more honesty or dignity or intelligence
in either the Republican or Democratic
National Convention than there was in
the Populist gathering.
