908 Broadway, June 23.
 Postmaster-elect w. H. Friend has a difficult problem to settle In a few days time he will succeed to the office now filled by Postmaster J. J. White, and will enjoy a four years reward for his loyal services-mostly in the interests of MT. Hilborn-to the Republican party.
 The civil service law goes to extremes in the matter of the Oakland postoffice. and presumably all other offices of like class. It makes possible a change with every administration in the postmaster ship and the assistant postmastership and then secures everybody else in his position until the janitor is reached, and he goes in and out with the occupants of the White House.
 Mir. Friend long ago decided that the assistant should be Charles O. Alexander, a young Republican of this city, who is at present secretary of the W. R. Davis campaign committee. There were seY- eral applications and bitter fights made for this place, but it was a fOregone con- clusion, even before MT. Friends nomina- ton was sent to the Senate, that MT. Alexander was to have the place.
 The appointment of the assistant was comparatively easy compared to the task of harmoniously filling the janitorship: This position is worth $45 month, and MT. Friend is now in possession of thirty nine petitions from various applicants, all sgned by prominent Republicans, and he signed by prominent Republicans, and he is at a loss whom to appoint.
 This S45 a month job" said MT. Friend. lis actually making me sick of politics. The task of naming an assistant was child's play compared to this. go into office in a few days and have not yet filled the important position of janitor. l have been working, or. rather, have been worked for three months on behalf of one or another of nearly half a hundred candidates, and I am seriously consider ing the proposition of calling conven- tion of the friends of the various candi- dates and of appointing any one candidate on whom they can all agree"
 W. H. Friend was chairman of the old Third District Congressional Committee that made such a notable fight for recog- milton in the State convention, but was turned down in the national convention two wears ago.

WEDDED TO
 AVOID WORSE Romance and Tragedy in a Divorce Suit. SOLDIER FOR A HUSBAND sEQUEL TO GRACIE TAYLoR,s SECRET MARRIAGE. They Separated at the Altar and Have Never Spoken a Word

 Since.
SOLDIER FOR A HUSBAND
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

9OS Broadway, June 23. Just two years ago Grace M. Tavlor one of the prettiest belles in Berkeley was married to Arthur P Hansen. an employe of the ferry steamer Piedmont at San Rafael. The wedding was a great surprise to the friends or both parties and after their return to Oakland it was Kept secret for over a year, and even at the present time many of the young Iadys acquaintances cannot understand how she comes to be the plaintiff in a divorce suit
 Mrs. Grace Hansen's story appears to be very simple, but as a matter of fact. the little romance of the trip to San Ra- tael was only taken to avoid tragedy, with Arthur P. Hansen the victim. Mrs Hansen alleges that five minutes after their wedding they separated and have never lived together since Hansen has never contributed one cent to her sup port, and has shown no desire to provide her with home or take care Of her. She therefore asks the court to grant her di- Vorce and permission to become once more Miss Grace Taylor.
 Hansen tells a very sensational story in cross-complaint, which he has served upon the Wifes attorneys. He says that for some inexplicable reason he was a sister named Mrs. Kelly, and on the 18th of June, 1896, Mrs. Kelly called on Hansen with a gun. She declared that if
 
 Hansen without more ado she would take such action that MT. Hansen would never again be bothered with affairs in this life.
 Her threat evidently had a good effect, for five days later MT. Hansen and Grace went to San Rafael, where they were quietly married. A good-by succeeded the minister's kiss, and they have not spoken since.
 In her complaint Mrs. Hansen asks for $25 a month alimony and such other re- lief as the court may grant. It will be rather difficult, in view of the latest de- Velopments of the Cuban matter. for any such order to be made. Hansen is a member of Company F, Fifth Infantry, which has just been ordered into active service. Next Monday he will leave his job on the Piedmont, where he is get ting a fair salary, and enter the service of his country at S15 50 a month and ra- tions. He has shown an inclination not to press the contest, and Mrs. Hansen will probably get her divorce without much trouble.
 The plaintiff is a petite woman. not yet 21 years of age, although she has the appearance of a pretty school girl of r.

with $15 for the general fund; Miss Etta Price followed with $5 to be used by the hospital committee, of which Mrs. I. L. Requa is chairman; Mrs. H. Bendel, chair man of the Red Cross promoting commit tee of the Sixth Ward, sent in $100 in behalf of her committee, to be used for hospital stores.
