9U8 Broadway, Oct. 49,
Miss Bertha jeanette Brown, a pretty
young nurse, has won a husband and
the Salvation Army has lost an efficient
officer incidentally Rev. Edwards Davis
has launched an innovation in his method
of saluting the bride at home wedding.
About year ago Edwin James Bovett
was an earnest lieutenant in the Oakland
corps. He was duly commissioned as a
lieutenant and sent to labor in an interior
town. Before many months passed Lieu
tenant Bovett began to show signs of
failing health. His earnestness and over
zealousness were noted and he was sent
for rest, or furlough as it is called in the
Salvation Army. Then the secret came
out for when the sick lieutenant went to
the Home OF Rest at Beulah it was learned
that an affaire de c9ur was more re-
sponsible for his failing health than his
ina ability to stand hard work.
When it was given out that be was suffer
ing from consum ptiou Miss Bertha Jeanette
Brown declared herself. During the pc
ROD of training at the garrison the lieu
pretliest members OF the audience, but it
had to be kept secret Under the army
rules, which an officer swears to obey be-
fore he is commissioned, he must give no.
tice OF his love affairs to headquarters,
which do not sanction the marriage of
officers to soldiers, much less TO those
who are not even members of the order.
One afternoon several months ago Lieu
tenant Bovett crossed the bay and con-
suited Major Keppel. The major saw
plainly that it was genuine case OF love,
and that the lieutenant was sore at heart
at having to choose between his vows tc
the army and his sweetheart, so compro-
mise was practically agreed to. The lieu
tenant should go on long furlough, and
with returning health he would be better
able to grapple with his conscience.
In the unfettered company of Miss
Bert ha Brown the lieutenant speedily re-
gained his health and ne is still on fur
Tough, but does not call himself lieuten-
ant. His permission to go on furlough
was somewhat in the nature OF line
with no alternative" to poor man.
Last Friday mig ht the lieutenant on fur
Tough was welded to Miss Brown at the
residence OF Mrs. Simpson, on Franklin
street. Rev. Edwards Davis performed the
ceremony.
When the time came which custom has
made optional with the minister as to
whether or not he will kiss the
bride, Rev. Mr.. Davis rather sur
prised the wedding party. He made
one of his most dignihed bows
and gallantly taking the lady's hand he
imprinted a kiss upon it. The bride looked
trife disappointed. for the minister is a
handsome, imposing bachelor, but the
guests, and the groom especially, declare
that he set very desirable precedent,

that of Miss Oracle Julia Ken
nedy to ]. Edwin Van Hoosear at the
Eden Congregational Church, at Hay
wards. The bride is the daughter of the
largest vineyard owner of Castro Valley
and the groom is the nephew Of Mr.
Bradley, the millionaire lumber man.
Promptly at the time named in the in
vitation the bridal party arrived at the
church. The bride was handsomely
gowned in cream-white satin, trimmed
with pearl passementerie and duchesse
lace. Her long bridal veil was studded
with orange blossoms. Miss Bessie Bax.
ter, the only bridesmaid, was prettily
dressed in white ilk, trimmed with pink
chiffon. She carried bouquet OF La
France roses. The brides bouquet was
of white rose buds.
One of the prettiest features OF the SER
vice, which was conducted by Rev. Alfred
Bailey, was the part taken by little
Donzitta Kennedy. She was dressed in
pink crepe, and walked at the head OF the
bridal procession bearing the wedding
ring on white satin cushion. Fred
Mermma of Berkeley, an old college
friend OF the groom, was best man.
Ths church was crowded. The cere-

THE G. E.'S CRUSADE.
1t Condemns Liquor Traffic at Groceries
and Gambling.


and Gambling.
OAKLAND, Call, Oct. 19.-The County
Christian Endeavor Union held an i'm
portant meeting tonight in Y. NJ G. A.
Hall, at which delegates representing 5000
members were present. AS stated in this
mornings CALL, the convention took
radical action regarding the racetrack
matters and the liquor traffic.
The recent publication in the organ of
the Liquor Association was made
the basis of lively argument. The mat
ter was called up by the statement that
there were in the district west of Fruit
vale avenue 322 saloons for population
OF less than So, 600, being one for every
fifty four voters.
The union placed itself on record as fol-
lows:
RESOLVED, That we appeal to ali Christian
people in Alameda County to patronize only
such grocers as do not deal in intoxicationg
liquor.
The position of this body on the gam
bling matter recentlv handled by the
Methodist Ministers Union in connection
with the Oakland Trotting Park and the
incorporation of new municipality to
protect it from outside interference was
set out in the following:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this union
that we are opposed to all forms of gambling,
further that we oppose the incorporation of
any municipality for the protection of gam
bling interests.
The fact that the Oakland Board of
Trade and the Oakland Merchants Ex-
change entered the contest with resolu-
tons indorsing the racing association was
also considered, and resulted in the TO l.
lowing being adopted as the unions re-
ply to their statements:
RESOLVED, That we call upon all Christian
people and those interested in the moral well
fare of the commu nifty to withdraw all politi-
cal and financial support from such persons a.
may in any way encourage the establishment
of gambling institutions in our midst

AN OUTING IN THE AFTERNOON

Those who hoped that the Presbyterian

in peace, have been disappointed.
Yesterdays session resulted in an ami
mated personal discussion. beginnin with
the report of the committee on theological
seminaries.
1t had been alleged that Rev F. r. Far
rand, chairman of the committee on theo-
logical seminaries, had charged |. ].
Trumbull with incompetency in the man.
agement OF the San Anselmo Seminary.
Mr.. Farrand hotly denied that he had
made such charge, but had merely stated
that some theological students had been
turned away from the seminary on ac-
count OF deficit IN the scholarship funds.
This fact, he said. had no connection with
a charge of incom petency in the manage
ment of the funds by Mr.. Trumbuil.
On Saturday, however, Mr.. Trumbull
had won the sympathies of the synod by
the declaration that he had never heard
that students were turned away from the
seminary because OF lack OF funds and
that the committeeman on seminaries
were doing all they could to force him
out OF the position he had held for twenty
five years.
Mr. Farrand crowded the point and all
the mem Ders of the committee voted in
executive session in accordance with Mr..
Farrands s version OF the case. A memb ber
of the synod took offense and said there
was no justification lor charging mem
Der OF the synod with prevarication, but
the speaker called him down.
Other friends Of Mr.. Trumbull tried to
Justify him, but they were not heard.
Rev. G. G. Giffen WAS elected moderator
against Rev. DR.. Mackenzie by vote of
