Beach Rings With the
Laughter of Merry
Throng at Carnival

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 4-The Mardi-
Gras carnival was celebrated today
with much life and merriment. The
beach presented a brilliant spectacle
tonight, the board walk. nearly mile
long, in front of the tented casino
and the electric pier. being besieged
by a gay crowd of maskers.
The large canvas pavilion, the
smaller resorts, the electric pier and
the board walk were brilliantly illu-
minated with myriads of electric
lights.
The entire community and thou
sands of visitors, possessed with the
special trains came from the sur
rounding towns and left for Watson
Vile after the pleasure Of the evening.
The society people and all entered
into the affair with high spirits.
Many OF the costumes worn by the
ladies were elegant, but those of the
men nearly ell ran to the grotesque
and demons, hobgoblins, weary willies.
Chinese. Japs and all the original
characters of the day mingled in a
molly throng
1t was an evening of mirth and con-
fetti literally rained upon the people,
Manager Swanton having secured hun
dreds of pounds of the vari-colored
bits of paper. Special policemen were
on hand, but the crowd was orderly,
and their services were not required.
From the end of the pleasure pier
during the evening rockets and
bombs were hurled high in air. The
Third Artillery Band from the Casino
was stationed at the bandstand and
to its rythm the crowd swung along
the beach.
The promenading kept up until late
and the great canvas pavilion on the
site of the old Casino was crowded
with dancers and confetti was thrown
broadcast At IL o'clock masks were
removed and the carnival was at an
end.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

6PEClAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL.
SANTA ROSA. Aug. 4.-Miss Agnes
Brockman, who left her home here
two weeks ago to wed George w.
Thompson of Glen Ellen only to find
that he had been married to Miss Ida
Richardson Burd at San Rafael two
days previous. has returned home and
is with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
O. Brockman, tonight, after having ac-
companied Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson on
their honeymoon to Sacramento.
Miss Brockman is almost a nervous
wreck as the result of her trying ex-
perience and refuses to see any one,
and her father has as yet failed to get
her story. When seen this evening all
that Brockman would say was that his
daughter had returned after accompa-
nying Thompson and his bride to Sac
ramento and remaining with them sew
eral days. His daughter, he said, had
told him that she was not made aware
of Thompson's marriage to his cousin,
Miss Burd, until after they had all
boarded the river boat for Sacramento
and the craft was under way.
More than this the father refused to
say, declaring that he had refused fur
ther information to all questioners and
would continue to do SO until the fam
lily had an opportunity to talk the mat
ter over with the girl.
Miss Brockman's grandmother, Mrs.
Schick of Glen Ellen, with whom she
has resided a great deal of the time
and practically all of her courtship
with Thompson was carried on, is very
Ill and has been kept in ignorance OF
the whole affair
Thompson has been engaged to Miss
Brockman for four years

Ten Years IL Brought Into

The liberation by pardon Of two Douglas
county convicts-Sam Payne and Ed Col
Inns, both sent to the penitentiary for life
has caused considerable adverse criticism
on the Fourth of July pardon law. County
Attorney slabaugh condemned the law and
Judge Sutton also declares he believes It
is bad and has bad effect on criminals
as It holds out TO them hope OF pardon
after they have served ten years.
AS an indication OF the way criminals
look at the law County Attorney SlabauEh
in an argument TO a jury recently read
letter from man charged with murder
in the first degree in which he said he was
willing to take life sentence, as It meant
only ten years in the penitentiary under
the ten-yesr pardon law. Judge Slabaugh
believes the law practically nullihes the
effect Of life sentences.

and the big white ones, and the most
beautiful red and wine colored ones are
here from Arkansas. OF the latter there
is but q small supply and fancy prices
must be paid, though there is plenty OF
tine California product. The market is
overloaded with juicy pineapples, and re-
tailers are disposing of them at 10 cents
apiece. A few home grown peaches have
arrived, and though not as good as those
from the Golden Gate, are very good for
cooking purposes. Cherries are almost
gone and those who want them will have
to buy within a week.
Onions, carrots, parsley cucumbers, cab
bage and such things are plentiful and can
be had at reasonable prices. Home grown
potatoes OF good quality are being brought
to market in quantities sufficient for the
local trade. The supply OF tomatoes Is
growing larger, and with it the demand
for the price is down now to where every
body can afford to have them. Kalamazoo
celery is of a fine quality and lie going at
