RUSSELL-JOSSELYNN
A Quiet Wedding at the Residence OF
Miss Russell in Oak
land

OAKLAND, CAL. Nov. "A quiet but
pretty wedding took place this evening
at the residence of Miss S. ]. Russell, on
Eleventh street, the contracting parties
being Samuel H. Russell of Watsonville
and Miss Caroline Josselynn of Monterey.
The ceremony which united the happy
couple was performed by Rev. Edward c.
Davis. pastor of the Christian church, in
the presence of only few of the most in
innate friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties.
The exclusiveness of the wedding was
occasioned by a recent death in the
groom's family.
Miss Russell, sister of the groom, acted
as bridesmaid, and VIII c. Russell, a
brother, acted as best man.
The bride is the only daughter of Cap
tain Josselynn, wealthy pioneer of
Monterey, while the groom is the oldest
member of the Russell family, and is
prominently connected with the Watson
vile Electric Lighting Company.
After dainty weddine supper the
newly welded pair left for San Francisco.
After their honeymoon, which will be
spent in the northern part. of the State,
they will take up their residence at Wat
sonyiile.

The most disappointed people in this
county are those ladies who have worked
for woman suffrage. Alameda County
certainly did treat the women very un-
cavallerly. The vote against it was II COL,
while only 7943 voters are anxious to see
their wives and sweethearts go with them
to the polls. Mrs. s. c. Borland said to-
day that although the suffrage amend
ment bad not carried in this campaign
it had the effect of showing the men
that one Of their arguments against
allowing women TO vote has no founda-
ton. The women. she states, have been
able to carry on the campaign with
out neglecting their families and home s,
and have by so doing shown their abilit y
to take an intelligent part in deciding
matters that come before the electorate
without sacrificing any of those nobler
qualities which belong to woman alone.
The first amendment relating to the
taxation of moneys, credits, bonds. etc.,

amendment which would make it possi-

lot at an election was favored by IL, 721 and

The election machinery of the county

with more dispatch and decorum tnan
was ever known before. The thoughtful
and intelligent system of having he re-
turns when sealed brought to t. County
Clerk s Office laid out by Clerk Jordan pre-
vented any confusion, and was one of the
most commendable features of the cleo
ton. The new great register, which has
been compiled IN the County Clerk Office
wit out one dollar of expense to the
county. which job usually costs from
$25. 600 to $50. 600, was as near perfection
and freer from errors than even the clerk
dared to hope. The ballot clerk and Off
GERS OF election worked with dispatch, and
in no precinct was more than seven hours
consumed in the count, while in many
the work was done in less than half that
time.
