Indianapolis. The party was accom- panied
as far as Philadelphia by some OF the
guests, who participated in the wedding
supper. which was served aboard the car.
The fact that General Harrison's daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mckee, and his son Russell were
not at the wedding occasioned consider
able comment. 1t has been rumored that
Harrison's family were strongly opposed
to the wedding. While they still retain
all due affection for their parent, it is said
they decline to give their flial sanction.
The honeymoon will be spent in General
Harrison's home in Indianapolis, which
has been retitted and renovated for the
occasion. Later the couple will go to the
Adirondacks, where house has been pre-
pared for them. The groom's gift to his
best man was a walking-stick, which was
valued by General Harrison because of its
associations. Its history dates back to the
civil war, and General Harrison highly
values its possession.
The floral decorations in the church
were simple and artistic. There was no
attempt at display. but a striking effort
had been achieved by the free use of
Easter lilies. The edifce was in no way
embellished, all the decorations being
confined in and about the altar.
The brides gown was heavy pearl col
ored faille Francaise of exquisite Iuster,
trimmed with rare Honiton lace, which
practically covered the shoulders of the
gown, falling over the sleeves and contin-
uing in wide revers which turn again near
the waist line to form Louis Quatorze
jacket effect.
Soft full bows of pale turquoise blue vel
vet caught the lace together over full vest
OF chiffon, and the neck was finished with
a soft crush collar of the same velvet A
lengthwise jabot of Honiton lace was
trim med either side of the front breadth
of the skirt, which was cut demi.train TO
hang in graceful waves of fullness. With
this was worn a small cape of pale blue
velvet trimmed with white aigrette and
pompon, and twist OF lace confined with
a superb diamond ornament. Another
diamond ornament fastened the lace on one
side OF the corsage near tie shoulder. The
groom's gift to the bride, a magnificent
chain of pearls, was looped on the corsage

FAIRFIELD TEST SUIT.
County Officers to Ascertain the Length
of Their Tenure.


VALLEJO, CAL, April ca dispatch to
the vallejo Chronicle from Fairfield says:
An important matter, which is aimed to
test the law making the terms of county
officers of four years. duration, came UP
before the Board of Supervisors at the
meeting to-day in the form Of resolution
instructing County Clerk Halliday to pro-
cure supplies which will be necessary to
conduct an election for county officers in
November next It is understood this
move is backed by the officers who are to be
affected If the law is unconstitutional, and
they are represented by Garret w. Nc
Inerney, one of the ablest constitutional
lawyers in the State.
The Supervisors adopted the resolution,
with the explicit understanding that the
county would be put to no expense by it.
Clerk Halliday will carry out the order of
the board. but will be enjoined by some one
interested in the cause of the four-year
term. This will bring the matter before
Judge A. J. Buckles for q Superior Court
decision as to the necessity for procuring
the supplies, which. if the four-year term
is constitutional, will stop the clerk from
obtaining them. This, too, will enable
the attorneys to take the matter to the
Supreme Court and get final decision at
an early date.

Er- Governor Saunders of Nebraska Talks
of the Wedding.
OMAHA, NEBR., April 6.-Ex-Governor
Saunders attention was called to the tele-
gram 10 the effect that his son-in-law,
Russell Harrison, and Mrs. Mckee would
not attend the wedding of their father at
New York to-day, and he said the latest
information he had received was that Mrs.
Mckee would attend, but he was satisfied
now that none OF the children would be
present. As to the feeling of the children
toward their fathers marriage, Mr.. Saun-
ders said that was delicate subject, and
none appreciated it more than the chill
dren themselves. They had tried to
keep it among themselves, but that it
soon became apparent to the public that
dissatisfaction existed. He said it was
probably first an objection to the father
remarrying at all, and then to his marry
ing one so closely allied to the family. 1t
was not a feeling of bitterness, but more
one of disappointment, which would wear
away. He thought Russell did not care
so much and was disposed to permit his
father to do as he thought best, but with
Mrs. Mckee it was different, and she was
deeply sensitive on the subject. Governor
Saunders said the children had been down
to Indianapolis several times of late and
dined with their father, and it was evident
to him they were disposed to maintain
friendly relations in the family, regardless
of the marriage, yet it did not conceal the
fact that there were some heartburnings
over the ceremony celebrated in New
York

suit for water rights of the Farmers' Canal
Company and other canal corporations VS..

Court this morning, Judge Shaw of Los
Angeles having been called to preside, be-
cause one of the attorneys for the defense
is a relative of Judge Conklin.
The defense was represented by Messrs.
Houghton. Eugene CARRIER and Patrick
Reddy. while E. J. McCutchen, q. G. Cor.
ham and ]. w. Ahern represented plain
tiffs. Several individual defendants were
also represented by attorneys.
The defense asked for continuance
until mex. fall. Houghton stated that
those defendants whom he, Reddy and
CARRIER represented proposed to stand
squarely on the terms of the Haggin and
Miller contract; that they proposed to live
up to that contract to the letter, and that
whatever rights they claimed were based
upon the provisions of that contract.
Some OF the defendants. he said, were
parties to that contract and 1t was desired
to file one answer setting up the interests
of those who had signed the contract and
another answer for those who had not
signed it. To that end it was essential
that further time be had.
McCutchen asked whether Houghton
and his associates proposed to continue
to represent the defendants who had and
those who had not signed the contract,
and Houghton replied that lie die not
know whether they would or not. A con-
tinuance until November 8 was granted
From statements made in open court it

late husband, Joseph Kerns, was dis
missed this morning on motion of her

cash to his wife and 45-acre tract in Ber-
ryessa he bequeathed as follows: One
fourth to Nora Bailey, daughter, and
one-fourth each to Homer H. and Joseph
E. Shrewsbury and J. M. Harkins. Mrs.
Kerns charged that at the time of making
the will, April II, 1892, Kerns was of un-
sound mind and unable to transact his
own business. He was possessed of insane
delusions. one of which was decided
antipathy to his wife, and according to
her story Mrs. Kerns was shabbily treated
in the will.

praise;
Who lured emotion from her hiding
place.
And thrilled the world with deeds
of other days.
He that possessed, which unto Art Is

A grand conception Of unvarnished

He oft provoked a smile, more oft a

Sublime and beauteous in his manly
youth.
Full In the zenith OF his great re.

While Death untimely rung the cur

Within the theater of the mighty dead.

Frost, Froilc and Business.

The wind over frozen ponds and lakes,
over snow-fields of plains and open
country, is heavily charged with frost
and fine particles of frozen matter. 1t
is the most penetrating way for chill TO
set In. Sudden warmth, sudden chill,
and severe colds. Girls and boys skat-
ing, driving for pleasure or business,
and men at work afield know the differ
ence in temperature. Yet the young
sters skate away and with mouth open
laughing take in a dose of sorethroat.
Drivers and workmen throw aside
wraps and all know the next day from
soreness and stiffness what sudden chill
means. Now the best thing TO do when
housed is TO rub well at once with St.

sorethroat: or II you are stiff and sore.
II will cure by warming the surface
to throw out the chill.

seen at the city theaters so many
women really entitled to take rank In

some leading ladies, some dancers,
some musicians, some singers and
some shine resplendent even In the
