ENGAGEMENTS.
Miss MARAQUITA COLLIER AND
ATHERToN MAcoNDRAY TO
RE MAPPIEn

BE MARRIED.
The first of the important fall engagements
in society has been announced. 1t is that OF
Miss Maraquita Collier and Atherton Ma
condray, both of whom are quite young and
have only been out short time.
The bride to be is daughter OF Captain and
Mrs. William B. Collier of Clear Lake, in Lake
County, although the family spend most OF
the time in this City, particularly since their
villa on the banks of Clear Lake was burned
to the ground about six months ago. Her
father is retired officer OF the United states
army and the family has always occupied
prominent position in society circles.
Miss Collier made her debut last November
at the first party of the Friday Night Cotillon
Club. She became very popular and was con-
sidered one of the bellies of the season-so pro-
life of handsome buds.
Miss Collier is at present visiting Miss Mol
lie Thomas at the home OF the latter's parents
in Ross Valley.
Atherton Macondray made his debut in
society just year before Miss Collier. He is
a son of the late Frederick Macondray, founder
of the house of Macondray & Co., and the in
tended groom is member of the present
firm. He is very popuiialr, p ial, with the 1 younger &c
University Club.
The engagement was one OF the surprises, as
few outside OF the relatives and intimate
friends were aware of the affair No arrange
ments have been made for the wedding, but it
is generally understood that 1t will take place
early in the winter season.
The engagement is announced of George
Silverstein and Miss Millie Cohen of 1854

"The Japs," Japanese fraternity OF the
Alameda High School, gave a delightful hay
ride on last Friday evening. 1t was given as a
farewell surprise to one of the leading mem
bers of the fraternity, Miss Alice Wharton,
who was to leave for her home and friends IN
Fresno. 1.-THE Japs" is the fraternity of the
junior class who, tired of seeing and hearing
OF Greek and Latin fraternities, decided on this
as novelty. 1t is very secret organization.
1t is said that when one joins he must take
an oath in Japanese. The officers are all
called by Japanese names. The colors are
those of the Japanese flag. and everything
about the fraternity has a Japanese aspect.
The ride was kept secret; no one outside OF
the fraternity knew anything about it, and
when the classes were dismissed on last Friday
at $3.50 O'Clock the scholars were much sur
prised to see two large wagons filed with hay,
lunches, flags and lanterns, waiting for some
one, they knew not whom. Then the "Japs'
came out in twos and marched down to the
wagons and started off amid many cheers and
good-bys
The destination OF the merry party was Lake
Chabot. After they had arrived at the lake
and had enjoyed boating, fishing, rambling
and other sports, fine lunch was served.

not long to wait. for in scanning the pro-
gramme came across the name of Meyer
Cohn, "the California Darytone," as they
call him.
When Mr.. Cohn appeared he was ac-
companied by a wealth of paraphernalia
that made me wonder what he was en-
gagged in. thought, perhaps, he had de-
veloped into stereopticon lecturer or a
kinetoscope agent, but I was mistaken.
He is simply singer still.
Behind him was sheet of canvas, the
utility of which / discovered in time. l
might as well relieve you now by saying
that he illustrated his songs with pictures
fitting the creation. Take the case
of his popular sentimental ballad,
my Mother Was Lady" When he be-
gins TO sing the benign face OF beautiful
old woman is flashed on the canvas and
as the song progresses and the fact is
brought out that waitress is telling her
tale of woe to the audience that person
also appears. She proceeds to relate
through the medlumship of Mr.. Cohn
that her mother was at the top Of the
heap as a domestic attraction, and that
notwithstanding her occupation as a
waitress she was we'll connected as the
lineal descendant OF woman who was
above all else "a lady,"
AS the song goes she is insulted by q
dyspeptic gourmet, and in reply to him
she remarks that the presence of one cer-
tain jack" who appears to be friend
of hers, would put stop to all such busi-
ness. At the ment ton of the said Jack S

CaIifornians in New York

]. ]. Dwyer OF San Francisco. who, along
with Barry N. Hilliard of Idaho. attended
the meeting of the Democratic National
Committee as committeeman from their
respective States, left for home few days
ago. Mr.. Dwyer was slated for place on
the campaign committee and the appoint
ment was made public by Chairman Jones
and printed in the New York papers.
Then the appointment was withheld and
the Californian returned home without
being officially notified of what action, if
any, had been taken or whether the ap-
pointmen. was merely newspaper talk.
Mr.. Dwyer made a favorable impression
with the leading politicians who swarmed
about the Fifth Avenue Hotel last week.
1t turned out that Mr.. Dwyer and Mr..
Hilliard were schoolmates in the Mission
as boys. They met at the Chicago con-
vention for the first time in years. Both
were delegates from their respective
States. Hilliard went to Idaho early in
the eighties. With native talent and
energy he soon forged his way to the front,
and is now one of the leading men of his.
State. He took prominent part in the
Chicago convention, being among the first
to declare for Bryan and SewalI. He will
probably have charge of the campaign in
his State, and there is some talk among
Idaho Democrats now in New York of
having him run for the United States Sem
ate in case his party is successful at the
polls.
Messrs. Hilliard and Dwyer remained
here for week after the Bryan notifica-
ton meeting, and, along with other Cali
fornians now in town, took in the sights
OF gay New York. They witnessed the
great Futurity race at Sheepshead, where
Marcus DAILY of Montana carried off a
$4,000 purse ana $150,0O0 on the side,
went to the seaside resorts, and listened
to the warbIings of roof-garden songsters.
