The stirring feature of the evening was
young Captain ID. ]. McCarthy's eloquent
response to Colonel O'Byrne's presenta-
ton of a beautiful silk flag. The young
man was a surprise to his friends, and he
won the applause of the audience. After
the Colonel had finished brief presenta-
ton speech the young man arose in uni
form and said he felt inadequate to the
task of fifty responding. "But we all love
that emblem OF the free, - he said, land
we hope to warrant the confidence for its
care that you have in US reposed.
This is our flag and our only flag. We
pledge to it our undivided allegiance and
if it is assailed in some dark hour of our
countrys peril you may count upon the
League of the Cross to furnish sober,
patriotic and honest men for its defense
and for the upholding of the country's
honor" There was much more said in
the same strain, and the young mans
friends gave him an ovation.
Gold medals were presented to Sergeant
McCrystle and Private William Fogarty.

Va C' I'LL sues TO nave HIS Boy s
Marriage AnnulIed.
Christian c. Hill, in behalf of his son,
Charles c. H. Hill, who lacks a year OF
having attained his majority, yesterday
brought suit to annul the latter's marriage
to A. E. T. Hill.
The minor Hill was welded on March
10 of this year, and it is claimed in the
complaint that on July IL, 1896 it was
discovered that the young mans new
wife, who was Adolphina SchelIer, was
not of irreproachaDle life while single
woman.
AS the little Hill was not of age it was
necessary for him to get his fathers con-
sent to the marriage. Hill senior claims
that he was induced to give this consent
on the representation that the young
woman was of good character. He there
fore asks that the marriage be annulled.
All the parties live in Oakland.

Mr. Nichols read the silver plank in the

Of the world will find its way to the mints
and the government will not be able to

platform, however provides that the silver
money shall be n legal tender for all debts.
II man had 800 he could buy but $50

The exact meaning of lG to Is not gen.
