Walter Scott Hobart snd Miss Hannah
Neil Williams were married yesterday at
noon at the Neil cottage, San Rafael, f,
Bishop Nichols, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Hartman of st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
San Rafael, officiating.
For the past two months society, and in
fact the community at large, has found
the nuptials OF this happy young couple a
fruitful and interesting source ofcouversa-
ton.
At FIRST Dame Rumor promised a quiet
church wedding at the little church at
San Rafael, where for the past six years
the fair young bride has been a constant
worshiper.
Then when it was officially announced
that the wedding was to be quietly cele-
brated in the Neil cottage at Sar Rafael
gossip came to the rescue of the disap-

ELUDED PURSUIT.

to San Mateo In Special Train,
Tugboat and Buggy.
When young Walter Hobart planned his
wedding journey he made the most care
full preparations, in order to avoid re-
porters and the gaze of an inter ested
public.
The secret of his intended course was SO
we'll guarded that he was almost sue
cessful.
AS the newly married couple were driven
to the San Rafael station soon after the
ceremony their purpose seemed evident,
but there the first disappointment awaited
the expectant passengers, who learned
after the train had started that the bride
and groom were not aboard.
On side-track there had been another

lies of this land, many of whose names are
part of Americas history.
Young Hobart is almost too we'll known
to need any comment He is known
throughout the United States as an ad-
mirer, owner and breeder of fast horses,
and in addition to his vast wealth, esti-
mated at several millions, he enjoys the
reputation of being a jolly companion, a
loyal friend and worthy citizen.

would be used in handling the material for
the monument. There is not great deal

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 12.-The resi-

with all his personal effects, vas destroyed
by fire this morning at the instance of the

This was done to prevent any danger

Fire Exits in Public Halls.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May 12.-Mention
was made April 10 in THE CALL of the
want of proper fire exits to both Armory
Hall and Opera-house. The matter received
attention on May 4 at the City Trustees
meeting. Last night the fire committee
handed in the following report on the
various halls in the city:
Fraternal Hall, Park street and Webb avenue:
The floor of the lodgeroom iL the front and
the dancing or banquet room in the rear Il
very shaky. Wooden posts are set under both
of the above ball floor jolsts, but apparently
The danceroom door and the main door at the
foot of the stairway should be changed SO as
to swing outward.
also does the main floor Of the auditorium
The street door at foot of gallery side entrance
is blocked, and door opening from the stage to
street stairway swings inward. The steps
leading from auditorium to stage are rotten
as also are the three flights leading from the
main hall exits on the Buena vista avenue
side. The mudsills under the building are
rotten, and the herringbone bracing OF the
floor joists beneath the main floor have nearly
all pulled loose in the center course. The
front main street door swings inward. AS
nearly as we could judge, the rods running
down the trusses under the roof to hold up the
gallery need tightening up, and the gallery
should also be supported from below. Inc
hall generally is in a bad state and in need oi
repairs.
Linderman Opera-house-There are three
exits from the main floor 10 the street at front,
rear and side; all the doors opening on these
exits swing outward. The railing on the Park
avenue stairway is too low. The exits from
the gallery deliver the people from that par
of the house at the head OF the main stalrWe
which is liable to cause congestion in case OF
Tanic. The gallery is carried py SIX a
and two one inch iron rods depending from
trusses under the roof and is supported IRON
beneath by two iron columns, two and one
fourth inches, rising from the main noor }0Ists a
brackets were originally made to carry twice
the weight put upon them.
Although this gallery trembled somewha
when man jumped up and down there are nc
evidences of weakness either In the trusses
under the roof, the plasteriBg under the gal
lery or on the main walls At our suggestion
Mr. Linderman agreed to put in three addl
tional joists under the raise OF the gallery nool
10 stiffen it, The floor loists OF the seconC
story are 2x1S and the studding sllls rest OF
solid concrete walls.

PREFACE.

PREFACE.
And shall we lose our sweet
temper and fret and fume, and
berate the patient editeur. Nay,
nay, my friend. Simply it is to be
hoped that when we shall all get
into that much to - be - desired
haven, heaven, we will not be
wicked and unlovable enough to
say, though it is blowing a little
that way, that we sincerely hope
there will be no compositeur
there; but we do trust, and our
faith is not of the watery kind,
that by that sweet by and by time
they will have acquired the ''tact,"
or the special grace, which will
help them to set up straight or, at
least, little more to the point.
Things will 60 on crooked as we
expect until time is no more: and
wrong els and round o's will stand
out in full sight, when not needed,
as big as buby elephants, from
cappa to chausse in your "lines."
Heigh- no! Here's a CO." Qui mot

Now we are wishing for a
good soft, soaking rain-storm This

planted more than fifty young
orange trees into an avenue,

who planted those apple. trees you

the fruit but we do hope that
others will; and that they will not
neglect to say an earnest and de-
vout prayer for the repose of our
soul before they begin the lus.

We have had the gift Of a good
joke and pass it on to you my
friends: One of the wardens
Of st. Paul's" is. an old man
(Chiuese of coursej quite deere
pit, and works on his own little
ranch. He is not too old, how
ever, to take an interest in my
country, and question me very
iutei!igpntly about its products,
and display not q little inform
alton in the matter. He grows
quite excited and wholly earnest
when taking up, each Sunday, the
nickels. ziz: for it amounts to just
that-the offertory. OneSunday,af
teI he had CLEANED the last half bit,
le marched triumphantly to the
head pew. poured them out of the
hltle wooden hand box and count
ed them, shouting, when the alb
struse calculation was completed:

our feet. How much like little
boy an old man fingers and fun
bles and counts his money! "Once
man and twice a chiId"--Indeed
and indeed it is true.
What do you folk get to eat up
there, anyway? Makapala's so
far off from Honolulu, the capital,

and we manage to draw our breath
a few days longer.
We just step out of morning
at o'clock and take a sweep,
brush, across country turn our
face seaward and skyward and
that's a full meal for any man.
But to come down to your own
level of solid beef, bread and beer,
and leave the Hawaiian heights
and dewy meads to the outside, we
took inside this morning diver

has excellent Judgment, is respected
for absolute honesty of word and sin
cerity of purpose by friend and foe
alike, and is one of the most popular
men in the city. His name adds great
strength to the ticket. j. E. Stryker
is clean and able representative Of
young Democracy, and one of the lead
ing spirits of this convention and Of
the new Democracy. Cornelius Quincy
and J. j. Ryder are we'll known as
intelligent citizens and ardent friends
of the cause of organized labor. Joseph
Haag and Louis BetZ are men of de-
served influence and standing in the
community, and especially we'll known
is the old war-horse of the Sixth ward,
with friends to spare in every other
ward Of the city.
To these names are to be added those
of an equally representative list of al
dermen. Messrs. Ehrmanntraut, Brady
and Krieger are members of the pres
ent council, where they have served
so acceptably on the whole that no
one can reasonably doubt their re-
election. For the Second ward Patrick
Kelly Jr., and for the Fifth e. ]. Muir
name will make strong candidates. e.
L. Allard in the Tenth and Mr. Lend
way in the Eighth will uphold worthily
the Democratic standard; while in
the Republican Seventh Kenneth
Clark should find his desire for
good government irrespective of
party a sufficient reason for his
place upon a Democratic ticket There
are three ward vacancies yet to be
filled, the delegations not having been
able to agree upon candidates. If
these places are assigned to such men
as those named here, 1t will complete
fittingly ticket that those who believe
in ST Paul and her future and in the
desire Of her people for a strong, earn
est, honest, patriotic and intelligent
administration, regard as invincible. 1t
was a great days work. It has been
great week for Democracy, and it Is
a great campaign that Is ahead of it.
The convention has done it's best It
deserves the thanks and the gratitude
not only of every loyal Democrat, but
of every citizen of St Paul. Now let
the splendid achievement Of this day
inspire every man to work as he never
worked before; to know no other duty,
no idleness, no rest, until this great
ticket shall have been selected by the
voice Of the people to direct the destiny
munity for the two years next to come.
