will join. All the Catholic orders will be
represented and several secular institu-
tions. 1t is probable that all the lodges
in Washington and Murray townships
will take part.
An attempt is being made to hold big
barbecue as one of the festive events. 1t
being impossible to think of Mission
San Jose without its Spanish history OF
century ago. 1t is thought most fitting
that Spanish fiesta shall form part of
the ceremony.
The religious ceremony will be presided
over by the Arch bishop and great many
clergy who will be present. There Will he
a pontihcal mass, which will be celebrated
in the open air, probably in front OF the
only portion of the original mission
which still stands.
The mission Of San Jose Is the only
building in the little town that remains of
historic value. Unlike many other mis-
sions there are no other buildings sur
rounding il of any interest. These aLxIl-
iary institutions were never very imposing,
and such as they were they perished al
most entirely in the severe earthquake of
1868, which shook down the church and
left but small portion OF the entire quad
rilateral, low adobe structure which was
the wine cellar of the early padre
At the present time huge grapevine
covers the front of this interesting sur
vivor. In the rear are few of the old
trees whicn stood in the mission garden,
some of them olives, which are said to be
over eighty years Old.
I'VE expect to have very large at
tendance al our centennial Celebration"
said Father McNaboe to-day. "The Mis-
sion San Jose is the cradle OF civilization
in Alameda County. Its founders were
the first Christians to bring civilization TO
the Indians and from that date began the
development in this district. At one time
the mission was the center of most -four
ishing Indian settlement. After while
the Spaniards succeeded the Indians and
another period OF progress was enjoyed.
Since the seculariza,ion OF the mission,
however, the work of the mission has been
steadily carried on, though under differ
ent conditions.

90S Broadway, May 2S
Leopold Palmtag and Thomas WeIch,
two of the Oldest residents of Haywards,
who have been friends for a quarter of a
century, met this morning and Palmtag
refused the others hand. 1t was all
caused by little elope mentthat took place
yesterday, in which Lena Palmtag, a
young miss Just out OF the High School,
and Martin Welch were the prominent
figures.
For long time young Welch has been
clandestinely paying attention to Miss
Palmtag and his affections were greatly
developed by the marriage OF Miss Flora
Palmtag a short time ago. Miss Flora
welded Vincent Strobel, who is of one OF
Haywards' best families, and the marriage
made her younger sister somewhat leal-
Gus. She received the attentions of young
Welch. and although Palmtag senior did
not make his home a welcome meeting
place the young couple pursued their
courtship in other quarters.
A few DAYS ago Welch sold his bicycle
for $42, so that he would not be without
funds when the courtship should become
so torrid that it must naturally end in an
elopement. The time came sooner than
was expected and yesterday morning Mar
tin Welch and Lena Palmtag came to
Oakland and procured wedding license.
The groom is 90 and the bride little over
Is. After obtaining the license they went
10 Rev. Mr.. McAvoy al San Leandro and
were married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Welch then started for
San Francisco, where they are enjoying q
brief honeymoon with the groom's
brother and preparing themselves for the
ordeal, which they fondly hope will end
with God bless you, my children"
The Palmtags are among the wealthiesi
of Hayxards' families, and the father is
the head of large brewery at that place
He was not at all inclined to be agreeable
10 the attentions of young Welch 10 his
daughter, who was being educated in such
q manner that she would take I place ir
society her father fondly hoped she would
some day I'LL. But though he did all in
his power TO prevent a marriage, he ha.
been outwitted.
Martin Welch is well-known cyclist
and Is lineman sometimes employed By
The telephone company. The Palmtag:
are the leaders of the exclusive Entire Nous
Club OF Haywards. and Mr.. WEIGH ha!
not succeeded in getting an entree IN O
that club, and that is the cause of the dis
favor with which the wedding was re-
garded by the brides family.
Palmtag Sr. and WeIeh Sr. have passed
the time OF day for a generation as friends
but it is very apparent that they cannot
shake hands as fathers-in-law to each
Others child.
Yesterday Miss Lena left home to do
some shopping IN Oakland. She did not
return, and last night Charles Heyer, a
friend of the Paintings, received q tele-
gram that read: 81 was married al

9OS Broadway, May %.
Ray and Harry Baker, two of the best
known young men in Oakland society
were very nearly arrested yesterday morn
ing a an early hour on suspicion of being
the opera bouffe highwaymen that have
been amusing themselves lately taking
pistols from officers.
The two young gentlemen caused a
hackman to have a very severe fright, as
the result Of which he drove to the police
station and told his experience to Chief
Lloyd. The Chief at once telephoned to
Chief Rogers of Alameda, and few min
utes later the arrest of the Bakers was
avoided through the explanation fur
nished by Albert Saxton, night receiver
at the Alameda power mouse.
TIE Bakers had been attending party
in Alameda ana had left too late to catch
the last car TO Oakland. They walked as
lar as The power-house, and not wishing to
cross the lonely marsh road in The early
morning, they offered to pay for n special
car to take them to Oakland. Receiver
Saxton declined to furnish them car, and
they started to walk. They had not gone
far when they met hack. In the hope
that it was disengaged. they ran as fast as
they could toward ii. This occurred in
the section of the road on the south side
of the marsh known as the cutoff"
One OF the Bakers is taller than the
other, and when the hackman saw the tall
and the short man, that have figured so
much in recent years in midnight un-
p!easantnesses, he at once concluded that
he was TO be the next victim. He whipped
ND his horses and drove across the marsh
at lively gait nor did he stop until be
arrived at the Oakland city prison.
He told his story OF how an attem pit ha d
been made to hold him up by two high
waymen, and the information was tele-
phoned to the Alameda police station.
Officer Baker was at once dispatched 10
the marsh road to canture the desper-
ADDE'S. He made inquiry at the power
house, and Receiver Saxton at once told
him who the highwaymen were and why
thew should be chasing hack in the early
morning. The explanation WAS found to
b. true, and when the Bakers arrived on
the Oakland side of the marsh they were

EACH MAN A SOVEREIGN.
Meeting of the Social Science
Club at Cambrian
Hall.
A Novel Organization Which Has
No President and No
o fic4rs.

Individual Sovereigns" is the digni-
fed title by which the members Of the
Social Science Club refer to one another.
No interest. no taxes, no rent and incl
dentalIy no government is the platform
on which tie workings of this little band
Is conducted.
The Social Science Club was organized
some three months ago, the mem bers
holding their meetings weekly at Uni
versal Hall, al the corner Of Stockton and
Pacific streets. Wednesday evening the
headquarters of the club was removed to
Cambrian Hall, where the meetings will
be held in the future.
The platfor N of the club recognizes no
government and naturally has neither
president nor officers. The speaker was
chosen by general acclamation and all are
invited TO join in the discussion.
S. Danieiewicz called the meeting to
order Wednesday evening, explaining
briefly and concisely the objects OF the
club and the results they expect TO accom-
pllsh.
FIRST and foremost is the obolition OF in
terest. wherein, according to the speaker,
lies the root OF all evils. Then there is
the question of land possession, which.
the speaker stated, is as erron eous as
would be the claiming of the suns light
in The deep waters of the sea.
1--WE must have individual sovereignty"
said Danielewicz. 'If we had individual
law instead of Nationa. law land would be
the use OF him who needs it.
'If we had no Government to protect
money interests. the people would estab-
lish a medium OF exchange OF, their own,
VIII ich would be pon-interest bearing"
In conclusion, the gentleman declared
that Government is fostering and pro-
tecting the monopolies, which are the root
of all existing evils.
