 The Pullman family is partiaFto Cali fornia beauty. One of the daughters married a comedy young gentleman-a Native Son of the Golden West-and now one of the Pullman boys leads to the altar one of the fairest Native Daughters of the aforesaid Golden West, and West was her maiden name.
 w. Sanger Pullman was left on short allowance by his millionaire father, George NJ Pullman of Chicago; but the diminished income did not cool the ar dor of his adoration for Miss Louisa L. West of San Francisco.
 At the Palace Hotel the tourists and the regular boarders are talking about the wedding of the young couple.

shortly after the executors of his fathers estate adjusted affairs for the young man. He frequently visited the Palace Hotel, but his residence was at Burlingame. where MT. and Mrs. Frank Carolan reside Shortly after his ar rival his mother joined him, accom- panied by Mrs. General John A. Lo- gan, an old-time friend of the Pullman family, who had previously chaperoned the Pullman young ladies in Europe. Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Pullman went to Monterey, Los Angeles, San Diego and other interesting places in California, and Sanger travelled with them.
 Returning from the side trips he went to the Palace with his mother She went East shortly after her re- turn from the South and Sanger Pull man remained in the State. Mean while he formed the acquaintance of Miss West through Alex Loughborough and paid marked attention to the young lady.
 Saturday last Sanger Pullman re- turned to the Palace Hotel and since that time has been almost constantly in the company of the adored one They dined together, walked together and rode together, but always in com pany with Mrs. Hugh Mcdonnell, a sister of Miss West. Last evening after the engagement was made public in one of the papers Miss West, Mrs. McDonen and another married sister, together with MT Pullman, dined at the Palace.
 After dinner they went to Oakland Mrs. Hugh Mcdonnell, younger, but not more comGy than her sister, Louisa, was married some seven or eight months ago to a mining man, Hugh Mcdonnell. The wedding took place in New York and the conven- tional bridal tour to Europe followed. The wedding tourney lasted three months, and then Mcdonnell and his bride came to California, taking apart ments on the sixth floor of the Palace Hotel For time the brides mother dwelt in the beautiful suite and joined her married daughter and her beauti- full Louisa in lovely excursions. The Mcdonald equipage was the finest in the court of the Palace, and when the stately and stunning ladies were es- corted to the carriage the spectators gazed in admiration at so much Cali fornia beauty of the Amazonian type.

her well remarked:

She is older than her sister, Mrs. Mcdonnell, so if you put her age at "A you will not go wide of the mark to any alarming extent Her type of beauty is the robust She is stately and com manding, and carries herself with an air of confidence and distinction. He is completely infatuated, and I doubt if all the Pullman family influence, even if it should be exerted, could succeed in separating them from each other.
 tThe married sister other than Mrs. Mcdonnell lives on Waller street, and has quite a family of children. The bride is a Native Daughter The rich es of Mcdonnell brought the family into some Trominence."
 Miss West is the daughter of Mrs. Marguerite L. West and the late Charles H. West. MT. West was an honored pioneer, who arrived here in 1849. The bride is also the niece of the late Frederick w. Lander and Ed ward Lander, formerly United States Judge in the Territory of Washington. It will be noted, therefore, that the West family stands so high that the Pullmans must be gratified with the alliance.

ONLY A FAKE.
w. H. Crocker's Health Is Not Inn
 paired-He Is Travelling Because He Likes That Kind of Life.

The story that w. H. Crocker's health is failing and that he Is under the care of a specialist at Carlsbad is nothing more or less than fake. MT. and Mrs. Crocker left San Francisco about three months ago for a leisurely journey through Europe. They sojourned at Nice for several weeks and wrote to their friends concerning the pleasures of their trip. While Mir Crocker is a wealthy man, holding vast interests in California, and the president of one of the leading banks of the city, his affairs are in such
 shape by reason of the organization of the Crocker Estate Company. that he is not tied down to his office. His large in terests in the Southern Pacific Railroad are managed by the Crocker Estate Com ton to take an active part in the man.

agement of the railroad institution. He does not go out of his way to express his dislike of c. P. Huntington, but when it comes properly within his way to ex- press his opinion he makes no conceal ment of the fact that he does not speak to Huntington, and does not care to be placed in position where he would be eX- pected to meet him and talk to him. It is said that Huntington, for many years, spoke of Charles Crocker in a Sneering, sarcastic manner, and Will Crocker has seen fit to resent the insults cast on his father.
 The story that MT. Crocker's health is failing probably originated in the yellow building. It is a great establishment for gossiping, backbiting and throwing out whispered inSinuatiOnS
