The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-06-20

The weather has taken such decided
turn during the past week, and the
wind blowing in from the south has
been so cold for mild June breezes, it
makes US wonder where we are at. 1t
reminds one Of a certain Fourth of July
two years ago. when we sat on the front
porch in a pouring rain, well wrapped
in coats and capes and fired off our fire
crackers.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Meister, who
recently was very i'll indeed in conse-
quence of severe hemorrhages, is inn
proving slowly.
Mamie Small, who very lately went
East with her father and sister Bessie,
has devised a novel plan to inform her
four girl chums of her movements while
she is away. To each girl she writes a
letter separately and Ill turn, but the
letter is in narrative form and intended
to be read by the others. There is in
this way quite a bit of excitement over
the receipt of each epistle, and it goes
without saying no end Of fun as well.
Mrs. Olive Reed, the popular contralto,
who sung to US during the winter in one
of the Cohn- Kidder concerts, was mar
ried on Wednesday, the 10th inst, TO
Seth Cushman of Alameda, to whom she
has been for some time engaged. They
were married at the Reed residence in
Oakland, the bride being beautifully
gowned in ivory white and pale pink
satin brocade.
Esther Needham. another popular Vo-
calist, once of Sacramento, and having
a large circle of friends in this city, was
married on the same date to Charles ,
Mering. The wedding was very pref
ty one. and took place at the Oakland
First Methodist Church. with the usual
accompaniment of lovely bridesmaids,
flowers and wedding music. Miss
Needham. or one should say Mrs. Mer-
ing. is an intimate friend of Mrs. Reed
Cushman. and when she was asked If
she was to sing at Mrs. Reeds wedding,
she blushingly replied: Il can't very
well, as am to be married that day
myself"
Mrs. ]. J. Henderson, wife of the ris-
ing young attorney of that name, and
son Elwyn. go to Santa Cruz on the LIST
of next month to spend few weeks.
Miss Sophie Snow is another OF our
Sacramento girls who have entered the
matrimonial lists. Miss Snow has re-
sided in Oakland during the past year,
and has there met her fate, who, 1t
transpires. is the son of a wealthy Oak
lander. a reputed millionaire. The we'd
ding took place during the week just
mast at the home of the brides parents
in Oakland, and Miss Susie Robinette
of our town went down to act as brides
maid.
Forest J. Johnston, Treasurer of the
Christian EndeavOr Society of Sacra-
mento City and County, has resigned the
office. which he has so far filled to the
utmost satisfaction of the 'EndeaVor-
ers." The young man has been called
to fill a position in a banking house at
Lovelocks, Nevada, and in its accept
ance leaves behind him a large circle
of friends in this city, who deeply regret
his departure from their midst, while re-
joicing in his good fortune
The young people in the employ OF
Weinstock. Lubin & Co, in conjunction
with the Arion SeXtet, were enter
tanned at the home of George Artz one
evening recently, and the occasion was
one those present will not soon forget.
The Artz home is near Perkins sta
ton. and the party engaged hay WaS-
on to convey them thither, many laugh
able and mirth provoking incidents oc-
curing before their destination was
reached. When about half of the dis
lance going out had been covered, one
of the wagon wheels came off, the in
cident being greeted with shrieks OF
laughter on one hand and alarm on
the other, as the vehicle was brought
to an abrupt standstill by the recreant
wheel rolling off into the road.
The next accident occurred to John
Maloney, whose smiling countenance
is a familiar one, but is now somewhat
disfgured having on this occasion
come in sudden and unexpected con-
tact with an apple box. which in some
mysterious manner rose suddenly out
of the dim recesses of the hay wagon,
infiicting wound upon one of his eyes
which he will carry as a remembrance
of the nights sport for some time to
come. For the benefit of those who
may remark upon the very unusual APP
