his pistol and before any one could inter-

nately the wounds were not of a serious
character. One went throueh the feshy
part of the LETT side and the other shat
tered the right wrist.
OF course the unexpected shooting put

Only a Few Hours Married, the
Groom Promptly Resented
Such Familiarity.
THE MARRIAGE FEAST ENDED
How a New Husband Lands in Prisol
With an Assault to Murder
Charge Against Him.

Married at o'clock and in less than five
hours behind prison bars with an assault
to murder charge resting against him is
q chapter in the life of Frank Carnival
which he will remember as long as he
lives. His incarceration is due to an at
tempt to kill George Zitka because the lat
ter insisted on shaking hands with the
BRIDE Incidentally it may be remarked
that the groom had looked often on the
wine when it was red, hence he was in a
proper condition to resent any fancied in
suit offered his fair young wife.
Yesterday afternoon Frank Carnival, a
window washer, was married TO Filomena
CampoIongo, a pretty-faced, black-eyed
Italian girl who acknowledges to % sum-
mers. Father de CAROLS of the Saint Pc
ter and Saint Paul Church performed the
ceremony and then sent the "a ppy couple
on their way rejoicing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carnivali took in the
sights of the City, and at o'clock repaired
to the home of the groom, Pollard place,
! where the bridal dinner was to be served.
About o'clock the guests began to ar
rive, among them being George Zitka, q
bootblack, VINO, it seems, had been an ar
dent admirer of the bride in the days
when she was simply Filomens Campo
longo. This fact. however, did not, at
least at that time, disturb the bubbfing
! happiness of Carnival and his guests.
In time the guests were seated around
| the banquet table, and everything went
as smoothly as the proverbial marriage
bell. 1t is SAID there was wine in plenty,
and further that the glasses, including
that of the host, was not allowed to be-
come empty. 1t was right in the midst OF
the feast that the trouble occurred, but as
to just what brought it about nobody
seems TO be quite positive.
1t is generally said, however, and the
story is accepted by the police, that Zitka
finally so far succum bed to the inspiring
influences of the occasion that he essayed
to shower his congratulations on the young
wife in rather a boisterous manner. FL
ma y he grasped the hand of The bride and
was about to say something appropriate
to the occasion, when Carnivali, enraged

advised not to dispose of their exhibits,
etc., until after looking into the PROPOSE
ton made by Mr.. Gray.

NEW JERUSALEM
Rev. ID. ". Bowen Preached Yesterday
the Subject of Per-
fection.

At the New Jerusalem Church, on
O'Farrell street, yesterday, Rev. D. v.
Bowen spoke upon Perfection" taking
for his text, "Be ye therefore perfect, even
SIS your Father which is in heaven is per-
fect." He said:
From the words Immediately preceding the
text we are taught that perfection is not the
perfection OF the infinite wisdom OF God or of
his infinite power, but the perfection of good
ness. and we are not to take imperfect man as
our ideal, but the fatherly principle In God.
We need this high angelic standard to in
spire lofty aims and earnest fort. When we
overcome wrong habits we should desire aud
strive alter change OF thought and feeling.
We cannot attain this higher wisdom and
purer love In moment by miraculous oper-
alton.
Immediately after service a meeting of
the society was again called to vote for
pastor. On the first ballot Mr.. Bowen was
elected by more than two-tbirds vote.

the lesson: "The Queen of Sheba was an

And the King graciously answered all her
questions. Every person has particular
inquiries, doubts desires and opinions.
The inquiry is never the same. No one
can ask another PERSONS questions. Re-
member that, and alway asks your own
questions. Questions may be Identical in
phraseology and yet be different in tone,
quality, spirit and expression. This noted
Queen put herself to much trouble on her
own spiritual account. We can afford to
take great pains to get spiritual knowl-
edge. She was prepared 10 listen. This
saves vast amount of time. No one can
speak to any purpose who has not the

BACK WITH A FORTUNE
Arrival of Thomas Mein, Man
ager of the London Explora-
tion Company.
The Story of His Rapid Rise, Political
Experiences and the Big Mines
He Represents,

Captain Thomas Mein, the noted Cali
fornia mining man, formerly of Oakland,
who for four and a half years past has
been manager of the great Robinson Gold
Mining Company and director in several
other companies at Johannesburg, South
Africa, arrived here Saturday night. He is
accompanied by Mrs. Mein and their two
sons, R. NJ. and W. W. Mein.
Captain Mein was member of the
celebrated Reform Committee of johann
nesburg, and was one of the Ameri-
served in all five weeks in prison,
and was fined also $4,000, and when
the charge against him was dismissed he
was required to take no part in politics
for three years. The captains long trip
has been little trying on him and he was
not feeling well.
He has returned to take up his perma-
nent headquarters in San Francisco as the
representative of the London Exploration
Company, probably the greatest mining
company in the world. In this capacity
he will manage the Alaska TreadWall,
Mexican and United Mining conn panies,
in Alaska; the One da. in Amador County /;
the Steeplerock, in New Mexico, and the
Grand Central, in Mexico. These are all
gold mines. Captain Mein will also ex,
anime the mines and make purchases for
the CONF pany. Hamilton Smith, formerly
of this City, is the engineer of the London
Exploration Company, and Sir Horace
Farquhar is president of it.
The company has several subordinate
companies, among them being the French
Exploration and the Australian Explora-
tion companies. There is an immense
amount OF money backing them, much of
which has been made in South African
mines.
W. W. Mein has been for some time
past manager of the Robinson Gold Min
ing Company's chlorination works, while
K. M. Mein has been engaged in import
ing timber from Australia for use in the
mines. His partner, Walter D. Davies.
an Australian, is one of the two young
men yet in prison because of the South
African political difficulties.
K. M. Mein says Africa is magnificent
country and that there is almost no preiu-
dice against Americans there. Money is
very plentiful, but mining property is very
high. Captain Mein has acquired large
fortune in South Africa, fortune not sur
passed by any other American mining
man. 1t is said to amount 10 a princely
sum.

tend the mission now being conducted by
the Redemptorist fathers, O'Shea and
Mullape.
All.day yesterday st. Joseph's was Wis.,
itec by devout members of the parish, and
at hours of service there was barely room
enough for those who were eager to be
present.
In the morning there was a solemn high
mass at which Concone's mass in E fiat
was sung by the talented choir, but even
earller-before day break-the church was
hlleu with young women. They were then
concluding week of prayer and spiritual
exercises. They again attended in the
afternoon, fully 1900 of them, when the
mission to them came TO close. At this
service the choir sang Millard's "Veni
Creator" the "Magniticat" from Mozart's s
Twelfth Mass" MilIard's "Tantum
Ergo" Rosewig's "Laudate Dominum''
and beautiful duet for soprano and barry
tone was given In the 'Ol Salutaris,' by
Verdi.
The mission for married men opened at
night, when there were about 1900 men in
the congregation. Father Mullane G. s..
5. r., preached on the Immortality of the
soul. He showed that the proof could be
known by. faith and the teaching of God /;
by the judgment of a mans own con-
science and by the justice and holiness of
0ou. Ills deductions were that man 8
only and most important work in the
world and most urgent affair was the sal
vation of the soul.
The evening services concluded with
benediction. On Wednesday or Thursday
evening special lecture will be delivered
by one OF the Redemptorlsts on"The Duties
and Obligations of the Married State."
During the week all men doing the mis-
sion will attend as 80 A. NJ. and 7 80 P. M.
each day. and many will be present at the
8 o'clock morning services.

knowledge. Who would not go farther to
get one new, grand thought than to get
gems. Wisdom is better than rubies. 1t
is fine thing that we do not need to
travel to get spiritual knowledge. Think
of the disciples. Where did they get
their knowledge? The first condition for
the reception of truth is willing, facile,
receptive spirit. Then the courage to live
the truth, to speak the truth and to stand
for the truth. 1t is not mere intellectual
insight that We should hunger for, but
heart wisdom, soul insight. Verse 7
tells US that the Queen was skeptic, but
she was downright honest one, like
Thomas of the apostles. l am glad that
all doubters are privileged to ask any and
all questions of him who is greater than
Solomon. If we would verify the fact OF
a living, loving Savior we must come to
him.
