their twentieth wedding anniversary. The
Misses Spier assisted in receiving. The
decorations were extremely elaborate and
most artistic in every detail. Date palms
formed an arch in the hall, the pretty
structure being frightened by Japanese
lanterns. Potted plants and callas fin
ished the charming arrangements. The
punch room, which was presided over by
Miss Nettle spier. was dainty
stalks of bamboo, combining to make
the room attractive. Roses of various hues
were used with effect in the drawing room,
ana the dining room where the tempting
viands were served was brilliant with big
nonia and violets and roses covered the
table. The bride and groom of twenty
years were the recipients of many hand.

r. H. MCDONALD. JR., the alleged
wrecker of the Pacific bank of San Fran
cisco, has been acquitted of all but one
charge against him. 1t is we'll understood
that the remaining charge will go the way
of the balance. Thus is another tribute
paid to the potency of money in the crimi-
nal courts of San Francisco. Mcdonald
has been in Jail over two years pending the
conclusion Of the cases against him. 1t is
plain that an injustice of some kind has
been done. If he is guilty, as nine-tenths
OF the people familiar with the charges
made against him, believe. he should re-
main in Jail many times two years; if he
is innocent, he has been fearfully wronged
by the confinement already suffered.
Surely there is something radically wrong
with the criminal procedure of California.

THE price of Gil continues upward-the
price set by the oil exchange yesterday be-

as gratifying to the consumers as to the
producers, but it really should be good
news to all, for it means that the oil men
are on the point of getting fair price for
their product, and thus guarantees a con-
tinuation of the industry. The oil con-
sumers can afford to pay considerably
more for the material than so cents and
still find it a much cheaper fuel than COAL

fact was, that with the advent of bet
ter times and the consequent influx Of
miners wives, mothers and sweethearts,
and its individual citizens began to
think seriously of the future. q
On the evening of the I'd of July the
Watson Star came forth with the Off
,cial announcement of the committees
action in the matter of arrangements
for the celebration Of the national holi-
day.
BY most of the citizens of Watson
the programme, as arranged by the
committee, was looked upon as a huge
joke. The very idea of Watson having
any kind or celebration involving such
a pusillanimous, essentially feminine
number as is comprehended by picnic
was almost incomprehensible and ex-
ceedingly ludjcrous.
In one family, however, this picnic
portion of the, programme was taken
seriously-very seriously, indeed.

has got, and with his known habits for

The picnic was held in large grove
about four miles from Watson, and
hardly any denizen of the village old
enough 20 comprehend what the day
was set aside for missed attendance.
As usual, there were several ovcr-en-
thusiastic persons there, and these had
brought out an old brass cannon. Of the

ugly about it?"
Mr. Harmon bit into a hot muffin
and had nothing more to say.
The national holiday opened as usual,
about three a. m, with the firing OF
anviIs and the enthusiastic but uncom-
pretending plaudits Of the American
small boy. o.
Rhoda Harmon appeared very demure
at the breakfast table on the morning
of the glorious Fourth" She had little
to say. but she smiled complacently as
she took her seat and looked at her
mother over the top of the tall old
pewter co1fee-pot.
How do you two women expect to
spend the day." asked Mr.. Harmon,
with a masculine snort.
Il suppose you'll follow up the fool
programme the committee has made
out, and by the time you get back home
again you'll be half dead; and, Rhoda,
l don't suppose your friend Tom Wheel
er will overlook an opportunity like this
to install himself as the escort of the
female members of the Harmon fam
ily?"
Rhoda answered not a word, merely
CHANGING at her father as he drew back
his chair in manner intended to be
expressive of disgust, and left the
breakfast table and the house.
. Presently, he returned. having had
a short walk around the yard, and.
opening the door, remarked:

John Harmon dominated his women
folks sat least. he thought he did. Had
anyone suggested to him tina: his meek
little wife and handsome daughter had
their way in any manner whatever. he
would have scoifed at the idea. He was
by no means tyrant. but he was one
of those men who cannot bear to think
that they are not omnipotent in their
own family circle. O.
when John Harmon left his home
that morning and walked toathe store.
he was not at all disturbed by any
thought of what his wife and daughter
might or might not do. During the day
had he given the matter any particul
thought, his narrow mind would have
told him, no doubt, that they would
remain at home, leaving him to join in
any celebration that might occur up
town.
