A Salvation Army is not romantic

immediate prospect for the happy couple
except that of depending upon the charity
of the community in which they are de-
tailed to work. No salary Is promised
until the expenses of the corps are paid.
No settled habitation is the young couple's s

each other and their fealty 20 God and the

The weddings tomorrow are OF un-
usual interest, as two of the parties are
staff officers. Staff Captain Willis and
Staff Captain Wise are two of the best
known officers on the Pacific Coast. Cap
tain Willis has been stationed in many
places, and has been promoted at various
tunes on account of faithful service. Miss
Wise is the daughter of San Francisco
Baptist minister, and created much in
terest some time ago when she and her
sister entered the army training home as
cadets. She is we'll known both in and
out of army circles.
Ensign Campbell, who is TO wed Ensign
Mathilda B. Lucas, has been all over the
coast as a charioteer and tielc officer. He
is the best musician in The army and is
the trainer and conductor of the famous
headquarters band. Miss Lucas is an ac-
tive officer and is the daughter of we'll
known Tacoma educator. Three years
ago her sister, who was also an army
officer, married Captain Foster and both
are field officers.
The dual ceremony will be conducted
this afternoon at the Trestle Glen cam p
meeting. It is considered somewhat OF
an honor to be married by the National
commander, and there will be an enor-

mined to purchase an acre in the vicinity
of the cemetery and exercise full control
over their own plat.
For the purpose of raising sufficient
money to purchase their plat the Veterans
League will arrange an entertainment for
which they will sell tickets. They have
already received substantial encourages
ment from other posts, and they anticipate
no trouble in raising the necessary money.
1t is expected that every post in the de.
partment will purchase few tickets, and
in this way the plat will be secured.
"There is an element of humor in this
matter of obtaining a cemetery" said a
veteran to-day. Here we are surrounded
by thousands of acres of land owned by
patriotic men, who declare that it does not
pay to cultivate it and who are not culti-
waiting one half OF it, yet the old soldiers
have to do all sorts of things to get one
single acre. A little soldiers plat nesting

of the prettiest soldiers plats on the
coast"
George Oakes is working hard to secure
the plat. 81 think some one ought to give
an acre of land TO the veterans" he said.
"I do not think they should be required to
purchase a burial ground in district
where land is so plentiful. 1t seems TO me
that there should be desire shown on the
part of some owner to settle the matter at
once and deed a piece of property to the
league. 1t would be lasting monument
to the donor, and would earn the eyerlast-
ing gratitude of the old soldiers.
"They have their plans drawn up and
have their tiag-pole ready to set up as soon
as the location is decided upon. 1t is
probable that some special rate might be
made with the Lone Tree Cemetery Asso-

that body, but the soldiers want 10 be alb.

expressed the idea that if THE CALL would

who would not have to be asked twice to
donate an acre"

A SOLID GOLD MAN.
Rev. DIR. wendte Made Remark
Which He Says Has Been
Mfsundsrs


OAKLAND, CAL, July 25.-Rev. DR..
Wendte's remarks published this morning
did not express that gentleman's senti-
ments.
In explaining his position Mr.. Wendte
said to-day: 1.-The reporter in his other
wise excellent interview makes me say
that Unitarian congregations consist al
most uniformly of intelligent and
wealthy persons. The last statement is
far too flattering. The pew rental of my
own church shows that we nave our full
share of poor but honest people. Again,
he makes me out 8 free silver advocate,
whereas am an out-and-out gold stand
ard man, which in my hum bic opinion is
the cause of financial safety and National
honor.
What did say, or meant to convey to
my ouestioner, was that if the election
were to be held to- morrow the silver party
might triumph. But in the three months
| to ensue blood will cool, facts begin TO tell,
common-sense resume its wonted SWAY,
the conscience utter its protest instead of
a reckless defiance of the economic laws
and moral standards of civilized nations
the world over, the American people will
vote for an honest dollar and the con-
scieniious and full payment of all indi-
vidual and National Indebtedness.
This is the creed of the Unitarian, who
has been well defined as "a Christian who
believes in one God and 100 (not 53) cents
in the dollar"
It is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that Colonel John ?. Irish is @ trustee
of DR.. Wendte's church.

Meyer Cohen, the bridegroom who le-
wanted on his bridal day and cruelty dis
appointed Miss Hinda Greeneberg of San
Jose by his failure TO appear at the we'd
ding, is having good time in Portland,
Or. He does not express any deep contri-
tion for his ungallant act, and seems sur
prised that the young lady should have
taken it SO much to heart.
Ar Waters of this city returned from
Portland to-day, and says Meyer is still
very partial to the ladies'.
"Cohen was the first man to greet me, "
said Waters to-day, land he was acting
as escort to three very attractive young
ladies. He does not grieve at all over the
past. He says that finances were little
tight, and so he thought it best to leave
before the marriage. He said it would
have been rather hard on the young lady
to marry her and then borrow from her
father for their first weeks board.
"The little matter of forgery with which
his name has been connected is not
bothering Meyer in the least. He says he
could explain all that il be came back to
Oakland, but he does not intend to. He
has no idea of asking Miss Greeneberg' g
forgiveness, but he said be has no doubt
that she would yet become his wife if he
were to go TO San Jose.
sin fact, Cohen thinks he has done
nothing at all unusual, and speaks of alle-
cations of forgery, dodging loans and
bills, and bride-deserting as though they
were events of everyday life not at all un-
becoming gentleman"

Firemen and Politics.
BERKELEY, CAL, July 25.-The selec-
tion of James Kenney as Fire Chief by the
various fire companies of the town has
stirred up a merry fight among local or
ganizations of tre-tighters and others in
terested in the candidates.
Two of the fire companies-the Posen
and Peralta companies-have announced
that they will not recognize Mr.. kenBey
as Chief even il the Town Trustees should
appoint him. As the Trustees called upon
the tremen to name some one Mr.. Ken
ney's friends argue that the Trustees may
rightly be expected to confirm the action
of the convention which they them selves
caused to meet.
The Peralta Company, one OF the revolt
ing organizations, had candidate OF its
own for the position, having already pre-
sented the name of its foreman, u. j.
Keane, to the Town Trustees.
Charges. of political jobbery-that the
whole action of the tiremen's convention
was dictated by political ring-are in

Mr.. Kenney claim that some of the fire
companies that were given voice in the
convention are not fire companies at al,
! but clubs organized to favor the successful
nominee. The recent trouble Of the Colum-
| bia Company is brought forward, and as a
reason why its candidates should be re-
| jected, the Columbia Company was de-
clared to have violated the "mile limit

vestig alton by the Town Trustees but it
was finally dropped without action.
If the Town Trustees should decide to

More like the real thing than the mere
horse show was witnessed yesterday morn
ing along the Mission road, in fact all the
way from the Mechanics Pavilion to Bur
lingame. 1t was a novel spectacle, and it
took people entirely by surprise with the
glitter and CLEAN of wealth. And yet it
was nothing more than four coaches, each
with q team of four-in-hand. and one of
them with cock-horse, that were seen in
the show.
The particularly interesting feature of
the coaching party was the fact that it
was contest for 5000. first-class lunch
and glory. Not word was said about the
race to Blrlingame by those In the event
until the start was made from the Pavil-
ion. shortly before IL o'clock in the morn
ing.
The contest was among w. S. Hobart,
Henry Croker and Joseph Grant, who
footed their fours-in-hand shown in the
ring.
Mr.. Croker hand led his handsome bays
before his road coach, on which were
George A. Pope, George Newhall, Marion
Storey. Reginald Rives and Captain Bay
lard. The ex-ring master of the horse
show. Richard Graham, volunteered to be
guard. MIR. Crocker had a change OF
horses at San Bruno.
Walter Hobart went out with q picked
four and cockhorse with regulation
position carrying crosstree; also
guard in flaming scarlet coat bedecked
with brass buttons, and fuzzy gray hat
which eclipsed Dan McCarthy's.
On the break were II. w. Kemp,
r. F. Carman, w. q. Lester ana w.
Hobart, who footed his fourth hand.
Mr.. Hobart had three changes along the
road. one each at the Six-mile House, Holy
Cross and Milbrae.
MIR. Grant drove his elegant four-in-
hand 10 a body break and had as guests
Joseph Donohoe, Major Rathbone and
some other friends. He had no change OF
horses, and took the bay road, leaving his
competitors to the Mission road.
AT 12:10P. NJ, Mr.. Hobart's coach pulled
up at the Burlingame clubhouse, and
twenty minutes later Mr.. Croker arrived.
Shortly afterward Mr. Grant put in an
appearance. The breaks and horses were
covered with mud that gave evidence of
wretched roads and hard drive, still the
hest time was less than an hour and half.
Mr.. Hobart won the prize of 5000, and Mr..
Grant vii have the pleasure of acting as
host at delightful luncheon either at the
Buringame Club or in town, at which his
guests will be the party that rode in the
exciting race.
The afternoon was spent on the Bur-

Mr.. Hobart entertained the whole party
at his villa at San Mateo.
