Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 1.-When Miss
Virginia Fair plights her troth to- Will
liam K. Vanderbilt Jr. at high noon of
Tuesday next her mind will irresistibly
revert to the days of her schoolgirls
hood, for the solemn marriage ser
vice of the Roman Catholic church,
which will seal the alliance between
the houses of Vanderbilt and Fair, will
be read by the Rev. Thomas Francis
Murphy, who was Miss Fairs father
confessor during her schooldays.
1t is in accordance With the personal
request of the bride-to-be that Father
Murphy will celebrate the nuptials.
The young heiress and priest are
friends of long standing.
When asked to-day if Miss Fair pro-
posed giving some $4,000 or $100, 900 to
Catholic charities before becoming Mrs.
Vanderbilt or on her Wedding-d day,
Father Murphy replied, Il have read
such reports"
But is it true of your own knowl-
edge?" was asked.
II have read such reports" reiterated
Father Murphy, but l am not in a
position to say anything concerning
Miss Fairs purposes in the matter. Her
charities have been many and varied,
and il is not beyond the possible" >"
Father Murphy checked himself and
smiled benignly upon his interviewer.
That the Vanderbilt Fair alliance is
a love match pure and simple Father
Murphy is firmly convinced.
Each of the young people have all
of this worlds goods that either could
possibly need or desire" he said, "and
the two have been drawn to each other
by all that is best in EACH
During the carrying out Of certain
details prior to the ceremony the priest
came into personal relationship with
young Mr.. Vanderbilt. He was very
favorably impressed with the young
millionaire, and it is largely upon the
impressions then gained that Father
Murphy predicts happiness for both
parties to the compact.
In general the marriage of a Cath
olic,' he said, with one outside of the
church should not be, but when one
party to the contract is whole-souled
and earnest in his or her allegiance to
the church great good may attend the
match

NEW CONTRACT JUST CLOSED
SUPPLY OF THE YUBA COMPANY
LEASED.
The Transmission Plant at Folsom to
Be Enlarged to a Capacity
of Five ThSlsand Horse
Power.
Special Dispatch to The CALI

SACRAMENTO, April IA deal was
consummated here to-day which is of
much Importance to this city and sur
rounding towns. The Sacramento Elec-
trio, Gas and Railway Company, which
has it power house at Folsom, has made
a contract for thirty years with the
Yuba Electric Power Company for the
exclusive use of 5000 horsepower, to be
delivered at the power house of the
Sacramento company in this city. This
will place at the disposal of the Sacra-
ment0 company 10000 horsepower with
its own and enable it to supply manu-
tacturers with all the power they may
need, the price being very low and a
great reduction from the cost of steam
power, and the charge for electric light
being less than one-half the prices
charged in the other principal cities of
the Pacific Coast.
The result has, been that Sacramento
to-day may be Justly termed "an cleo
trical city" the capacity of the existing
transmission plant from Folsom hav-
ing been fully absorbed in this mar
ket.
Recognizing this fact, the persons
controlling the Sacramento Electric
Gas and Railway Company, which is
the owner of the transmission plant
from Folsom, is now perfecting plans
for the augmentation of the electric
energy available for Sacramento City
It's works at Folsom, wherein are now
installed 1000 horse power, have va
cancy for a fifth unit of 1000 horse
power, which will now be installed
making the works of 5000 horsepower
capacity.
The terms of the contract with the
Yuba Electric Power. Company are such
that both companies mutually share in
the benefits to be derived from the in
creased demand for power. Deliveries
in Sacramento will commence on the
first day of August; 1899, and further
deliveries will follow as needed, all be-
ing handled from the power house of

way Company and its distributing sys-

LONDON, April 1.-The first section

achievement. The chief event was the

NEW TERROR FOR THE

PARIS, April lin the Chamber of
Deputies there was on Wednesday a
cheerful interlude in the tedious battle
door and shuttlecOck of the budgetary
millions.
The subject of the debate was, Shall
the French Government go into the ad-
vertising business" and it came about
in this way: The Minister of Finance,
weighed down by the burden of an
ever-increasing deficit, cast covetous
glances on the covers of matchboXes.
Everybody, probably, has suffered at
one time or another in life from the
French match. 1t is dear and nasty,
and the legend that it strikes only on
the box is an empty boast, the truth
being that it will not strike anywhere.
The reason for it's otherwise mysterious
existence lies in the fact that it is a
Government monopoly and brings in
millions to the state.
Having made these out of the inside
Of the boxes, M. Peytral had a bril-
liant idea of utilizing the outside of
500, 900 boxes per annum. 1t is pub
licity such as would make the mouth
Of proprietors of so and so soap and

cordingly.
Application was made to Parliament
for necessary powers, and this raised
a storm. Certain old-fashioned mem
bers looked on the scheme as beneath
the dignity of the nation. One sarcas-
tic legislator wanted to know where
the Government intended to stop, and
proposed letting out the column of the
Vendome in convenient squares, or the
establishment of flashlight putting pills
on Eiffel Tower. But the solid five mill
lions which the scheme would bring in
was NJ. Peytrars strong argument and
won the day.

whereas France is very eagerly embrace

one possible drawback of wireless teleg-

Grain Crops Thriving.

WOODLAND, April Farmers who
have been in the business a long time
inform The Call correspondent that in
all their experience they have never
known conditions more favorable than at
present. In the first place, the area sown
to wheat is as large and perhaps larger
than usual. In the next place, there has
been ample rain to insure good crops on
all qualities of grain land in Yolo County
providing there is not more than the
usual amount of hot north wind while the
wheat is in the milk and that there is a
normal amount of spring showers Here
tofore when crops were good on the high
lands they were poor In the tule district,

should be extraordinary rains during this
