The union of the Wells-Fargo with the Nevada
National Bank and the absorption by the Bank
Of California of the London and San Francisco
bank caused much comment here. The Wells
Fargo Bank is not eliminated, as the corporate
name of the new institution will be the Wells
Fargo-Nevada National Bank, and the COM
bined assets viii reach $S0O00OOO. making it
one of the strongest banks in the country.
The engagement was announced this week of
Miss Lily Spreckels. daughter of John u
Spreckles, to Harry NJ. Holbrook of the firm
Of Hobrook Merrill & Stetson. Both are well
known in the younger circles The wedding

the competent men who I'LL these positions
should get living salary. San Francisco has
been fortunate in getting some able men for
its Superior Court even with the low salaries
offered, one OF the most noteworthy being
Probate Judge James V Coffey. who is now
serving his third term without any political
work on his part. Judge COffey has done more
than any other man in the city to insist on a
modest fee for attorneys in small estates and
he has thus saved thousands of dollars to
widows and orphans. His scale Of fees in
estates, graded according to the value of the
property has been adopted by many courts in
