Has Cupid been working overtime or
what is the reason for the numerous
engagements that have just been an
nounced? He certainly never could
have used his little dart to such good
advantage in the working hours allot-
ted to ordinary mortals, for the we'd
dings which have taken place recently
would alone have been enough to keep
any one busy in an effort to see that
knots were properly tied. He has not
only performed his duty faithfully
along this line but has also given the
gay world numerous new delights TO
talk about in the way of engagements
Girls popular in many different cir
cies have fallen within the range of
his arrow. Angelenos, however, are
beginning to think it is time to have
q grudge against the little blind god
for he seems determined that most of
the fair girls shall go to men from
other places; nearly a dozen popular
girls have already been carried away
this season. Some to the north, some
south and some east, but all away from
Los Angeles.
And now there are more to go.
Another of Cupid's messengers from
afar has come to carry off Miss Anna
Vickers. to be the bride of Clarence
Harrison Crawford of La Grande,
Ore. Miss Vickers is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. V. Vickers of 624 West
Twenty-eighth street and a charming
young woman with friends galore
She was a Marlborough girl and a
member of the Phi Delta Phi sorority.
After graduating from Marlborough
she went to Stanford and it was there
she met the young man she is going
to marry. They were in Stanford to-
gether for three years and there Miss
Vickers enjoyed the same degree of
popularity which was hers in the
home city. The engagement was an
rounced at a luncheon given by Miss
Gertrude King of 903 Westlake ave-
rue in honor of Miss Phila Johnson,
who will marry Lawrence Burke. The
affair was a delightful one in every
way and worthy to do honor to the
fair young women. Pink sweet peas
decked the perfectly appointed table
and place cards in pink carried out
the same color scheme. Others pres
ent to hear the announcement were
Mrs. Roy Pinkham, Mrs. Freeman
Ford, Misses Alice Gwynne, Gwendoln
Laughlin, Sarah Boothe, Kitty Wald-
ridge, Edith Maurice, Margaret Lee,
Mary Lee and Grace Rowley.
Announcement has just been made
of the engagement of Miss Kitty Nc
Cormick. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs, T,
J. Mccormick of 9O6 South Bonnie Brae
street. to William r. oMeara of
Salt Lake City Miss Mccormick 3 a
favorite in local social circles and her
departure for Salt Lake City will be
met with much regret. She is a
graduate of the Los Angeles high
school and has a score of friends. Mr.,
O'Meara has large mining interests in
Tonopah, New The wedding will take
place in St. Vibianas cathedral about
the third week in June.
The engagement of Miss Caroline

When the Panama steamship Sc
guranca came into port today she
brought the largest number of refu-
gees from yellow fever. bubonic
plague and malaria that any recent in.
coming vessel has yet carried. There
were 149 cabin passengers aboard
all the ship could hold--and appli-
cants for passage back to the states
had been turned away by the dozen at
Colon.
Those who came brought ghastly
tales Of the conditions existing along
the line Of the canal, stories of plague
and sudden deaths Of almost crimin-
al negligence in caring for the en-
ployes in the great work, charges of
all sorts against the officials in
charge, histories OF favoritism, black.
listing, filth and hunger.
There was one corpse aboard, that
of s. b. Davis. formerly OF the New
York police force, who went to Pana.
ma to take charge Of the Panama po-
lice. and who died Of yellow fever. The
widow brought the body back. Three

For decade the affairs OF our nation

successfully and majestically without
the gentle touch Of his mastcr.hand.
Under capable, honest and energetic
administration OF government we may
temporarily lose sight OF the neces'
sity Of his splendid diplomacy. But
there will be days when We need him
and his counsels.-- when we shall
pray that his spirit may guide our re.
p, blic. as the Japanese receive cour.
aye from the departed spirits Of their
dead. John Hay lived and died a
great American.
In our large ideas Of republicanism
and democracy we have overlooked
the greatness of this man. We have
failed to comprehend the scope Of his
influence and his knowledge Of what
America needed and what America
should be in the eyes Of the foreign
powers. We have taken him much
as a matter OF course; as the natural
product OF the massive machine Of
Americanism. But John Hay was far
more to us than that. Through the
seas of diplomacy upon which many
an older nation has ANONYMOUSLY
fonndered, John Hay has led the
American nation to position OF
safety and honor Through troubled
waters he has piloted the Republic,
while other nations watched with ad.
miratiOn and astonishment the calm
ing of the seas. II is through their
eyes we must look to obtain a just
estimate Of John Hays greatness. We
speak with due respect OF Gladstone.
Disraeli and Voltaire; we concede the
greatness of the famous Chinese dip
lomatist, Ii Hung Chang. But in the
opinion of European nations, John
Hay was more subtle. more far-seeing.
more tactful than these. He placed
his pieces on the chess-board, saw the
goal to be won and with sure but per.
suading touch he gained for America
the respect and confidence OF nations.
