STOCKTON CHURCH WEDDING
Joseph Williams and Miss Emma Per.
kins Married at Mizpah Presby.
terian Church.

One of the prettiest weddings of the sea-
son was solemnized in the Christian
Church, Woodland, last Tuesday, in W which
the high contracting parties were Walter
Clarence Beatie, well-known business
man OF Oakland and Miss Alma J. Briggs,
the third daughter of j. R. Briggs and
wife OF Woodland. The bride is a native
of Yolo County, and was a graduate OF
Hesperian College and attended the State
University for mum Der of years. She is
highly accomplished young lady and is
noted for her many literary 'attainments.
Her acquaintances in Berkeley are many,
all of whom hold her in high esteem.
Mr.. Beatie holds responsible position III
the Oakland Water Company. He is also
a member of some of the most select clubs
in Oakland and San Francisco.
The ceremony was witnessed by large and
brilliant assemblage composed principally of
the relatives and friends of the bride. Quite
number of the relatives and intimate friends
OF the groom also accompanied him. There
were also present friends from Napa, San Frsn-
cisco, every portion OF Yolo County and else
where.
The church was simply but exquisitely deco
rated for the occasion. The prevailing coiors
were pink white and green, and pink roses,
white geraniums and ferns dominated. Some
OF the designs were very pretty and original,
and the arrangement was pleasing and in good
taste. Three white doves were features of the
decorations most admired.
At the appointed hour Miss Rose Stewart
seated herself at the piano and began the rem
dition OF Mendelssohns exquisite wedding
march. The door of the study room opened
and Professor Elston came in to the right OF
the altar. He was followed by the groomsmen,
J. P. Cook of Oakland and Arthur W. North of
Winters. The prospective groom, accompanied
by his best man, Edward McGeary, brought up
the rear AT the chancel rail the party halted
just as the two great doors of the main en-
trance swung slowly upon their hinges and
were held open by two of the ushers Misses
Blanche Beamer and nellie Nethercott, while
the remainder of the bridal party passed in.
Two more ushers Misses Josephine Steph-
ems and IrmG Douglas, led the way. The ushers
were charming in white, and each carried
white pinks Next came the bridesmaids,
Misses Mayme Merritt and Harriet HarasZthy.
Miss Merritt was dressed in white swiss over
b-ue, white hat and blue trimmings, slippers
and gloves to match and carrying red Dinks
and carnations. Miss Haraszthy wore white
swiss over yellow, white hat with yellow trim
mings, gloves and slippers to match and car
ried pretty bouquet of Marechal Mel roses.
Then came the maid of honor, Miss Sadie
Briggs, sister to the bride. Her costume was
white swiss over pink, white hat and pink
trimmings, and she carried La France roses.
Then followed little Marie Miller, in snowy
white swiss, low neck and short sleeves with

A SABBATH TRAGEDY ENDS
John Hay, Victim of Mrs. Nc
Dougall's Pistol, Died
Last Night.
An Operation Failed to Prolong His
Life-The MurdereSS Buried
Yesterday.

John W. Hay, assistant editor of the
Journal of Commerce, who was shot on
the evening of the 7th inst. by Mrs. Minna
McDougall, the latter subsequently COM
mitting suicide, in lodging-house at $50
McAlhster street, died last evening at 1880
O'Clock in the German Hospital.
The first scene in the sad tragedy was
enacted on a Sabbath evening. Hay, who
was keeping company with the woman
who caused his death, was lying in bed,
and she was slowly disrobing in the center
of their dinly lighted room.
He had grown weary of the life of shame
they had together Deen leading, and with.
out turning towards the woman told her
that he was going home-was going back
to work and to a life of respecta bility. She
became incensed at the thought of losing
Hays company and called uDon him tC
repeat the words. He did so ana was
startled to hear her exclaim in an angry
voice, "If you are going to try to leave me
l will kill you."
Hay turned toward the frenzied woman
just in time to see her draw revolver
from her pocket, he saw the weapon
blaze as she pulled the trigger and felt the
sting as the leaden missile tore its way
through his body. He tried to raise up in
his bed, but failed in the attempt The
last thing he remembered was seeing h is
murderess run toward the mirror, tear her
chemise from her breast, shoot herself in
the heart and fall to the floor dead.
Tenants of the house in which the
tragedy occurred heard the shooting and
after procuring policeman forced in the
door and found the dead woman and dy-
ing man. Hay was removed to the Re
ceiving Hospital and the body to the
Morgue. Last Monday DR.. Morse per-
formed an operation on the wounded man
in hopes OF saving his life, but Hay never
fully rallied alter he was shot. He slowly
sank and finally became unconscious.
Yesterday afternoon it was seen that his
life was fast ebbing away and his family
and friends were notified, and just at dusk
on the Sabbath evening the last scene OF
the tragedy eventuated and the wounded
man passed into that sleep that knows no
waking.
r. H. McDougall, husband of the muir
deress and suicide, reached this City from
Chicago last Saturday. He Immediately
arranged for the in.erment of his wife
remains and yesterday she was buried in

those who are fortunate enough to be en-
tered as a student in the Polytechnic High
School, and more particularly with those
who take the course of manual training at
that institution. To them the cessation OF
the period OF study comes with deep re-
gret, so engrossing and attractive arc their
daily duties during each term.
While the term for the Polytechnic NOM
inally closes on Friday next, the actual
work for the first year of the school ceased
last week, and the results achieved are a
justifable cause of deep pride on the part
of both pupils and instructors.
No principal in San Francisco probably
takes deeper interest IN the welfare and
progress of those under his supervision
than does W. n. Bush of the institution
on the corner of Stockton and Bush streets.
In school and out he is giving his best
thou ght to the advancement of his pupils
and his corps of teachers are no less wrapt
UP in the success of the school.
What distinguishes this institution from
all other public schools is its manual train
ing and mech anical art departments.
F. A. Gardner has charge of the man
ual training department, and gives his
personal attention to the classes in wood
working and mechanical drawing.
Miss Maria Van Week devotes her talent
and energies to instructing in clay model
ing, wood-carving and pen-and. ink draw
ing for newspaper and magazine illustra-
tive purposes.
Mrs E. P. Bradley, who is the proud
owner of a medal for art work displayed
at the Worlds Colum bian Exposition,
teaches the use of crayon and water colors.
E. Eldridge has charge of the class in
iron work.
In one of the rooms there is an exhibit
of some of the work of the pupils in all
these branches, and as they are the result
of but one years course at the school they
certainly make a most remarkable show
ing.
On the walls are displayed pen-and-ink
drawings that indicate in many instances
marked ability and a careful cultivation oi
it by the teacher, also bits in crayon and
water-color. Then arranged about the
apartment are specimens of handsomely
and artistically carved articles of wood,
such as a combination bookcase and cabi-
picture frames, tables, etc.
dynamo, gear-wheels, shaft-couplings
rings, hooks, eyes, straps, bolts, screws
and other work in wrought and cast iron
represent the progress of the classes in
iron work, while busts, friezes and cornice
work in relief show what has been accom-
plished by the pupils who have taken up
clay modelling. This exhibit will remain
open to the public up to and including
Wednesday.
There are about $50 pupils enrolled at
the school, and most of the few who left
during the term did so in order to accept
positions for which they had been qualified
in great part by their course in manual
training. The demand for pupils sdtfi-
GENTLY advanced IN the various branches
of manual training is at present in ex-
cess of the supply.
The pupils of the Polytechnic High
School will not hold graduating exercises
this year, but in lieu will present at Odd
Fellows Hall toni hit a programme of
vocal and instrumental music and a farce.

A MODEL POLICE STATION
North End Property-Owners and
Residents Have a Change
of Heart.

What is known as the North End Police
station is now situated on Washington
street, few doors west of Polk. For a
number of years it was located in little
hole on Pacific street, where there was
barely room for the few men then on duty
to change their clothes.
An increase in the population OF the
northwestern section of the City necessi-
tated better station, as there were more
men detailed for duty.
The selecting of new quarters brought
forth opposition from every place where
the Supervisors thought of locating the
station, until at last the present site was
selected and the station built. Since then
the people who were so emphatic in their
opposition are now we'll pleased, as the
station is model in it's way.
Under the control of Sergeants Fred l..
Brown, William Price and Marcellus O.
Anderson, the place is kept in tirst-class
condition.
The office and cells are on the ground
moor, While upstairs Is a commodious as
sembly room for the seventeen men who
report for duty. The principal feature OF
the station is the stable where the patrol
wagon horses are kept. No gentleman has
a superior place for his choicest stud than
that Tor the horses attached to this station,
ana unllke the other police stations IN the
City, the horses when waiting for a call to
go out are sheltered in covered gateway,
free from draught or dampness. Here the
City takes care of its own stock at saving
OF $5U month, with superior stabling ac-
commodation and excellent care and feed.
