Hlbbard-Parsons Wedding

The chapel at the Soldiers home
was the scene of a pretty wedding
last evening at o'clock when the
marriage of Bertha Parsons and Harry
Lyman Hibbard was solemnized, Rev.
George Wilson Officiating. The chapel
was bower of white and green, the
palms and white yucca intermingling
while great bell of snowy yucca, be-
meath which the bridal party stood,
depended with long streamers of white
tulle from the arch back of the altar.
Down the central aisle, which was ar
ranged for the bridal march, the
passage was lined with yucca and
ferns, caught with white tulle. Miss
Parsons was robed in an imported
gown of brocaded velvet and satin
chiffon cloth that had a faint sugges-
tion of a delicate lavender tint, while
the yoke and part of the waist was Of
white duchesse lace with rose point
medallions The long veil reached to
the edge of the train and was fastened
in the hair with a dainty pearl brooch.
The only other jewel worn was a pearl
brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. The
bridal flowers were lilies of the valley.
rhe maid of honor was Miss Belle Rag
mar Parsons, who was charmingly
gowned in white French null. She car
ried pink carnations. Guests number
ushers were DIR. Fielding, DIR. Keene,
DIR. Parker and Hugh La Grange. AS
the bridal party marched slowly down
the aisle to the altar the wedding
march from "Lohengrin" was played
by Mrs. j. M. Jones, the harpist, while
among many selections played softly
during the impressive services was
Schuberts Litany. The party left the
church to the strains of Mendelssohn's

The principals were showered with
flowers and they succeeded in making
the play so interesting that the audi
ence forgot to laugh and jeer in the
wrong places as is usually the custom
at high school affairs.
The high school orchestra furnished
the music and the welcoming address
was made by Charles Mcdowell,
president of the class.
The afternoons entertainment con-
cluded with singing the class songs.
The girls appeared in blue dresses and
carried strands of ivy and pennants
of blue and green, the class colors.
Teachers and students Jared alike in
the class songs and no opportunity
was lost to insert a joke on some un-
fortunate student.
The commencement exercises will be
held this afternoon at the Mason, and
the largest class in the history of the
school will be graduated.

TROLLEY UPSETS
FIRE HOSE WAGON
Motorman Says He Saw Apparatus
Leaving Engine House, but Mis-
judged Direction Horses
Were to Turn

Vernon avenue car No 342 on the Los
Angeles railway yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock while running a. a speed Of
thirty-five miles an hour, according to
witnesses, crashed into combination
hose and chemical wagon at the corner
OF Central avenue and Thirty-four
street, smashing the rear wheels and
throwing the driver from his seat.
The car was going at such speed that
it could not be stopped until it had
gone fully two lengths.
The wagon was raised from the
ground and fell twenty-four feet away
on the right side.
Frank b. Willets the driver, threw
out his arms to ! ,eak his fall and sus-
tanned compound fracture of the right
elbow. Police Surgeons Quint and c.
w. Cook were called to attend the in
jured man, after which he was taken to
his home at 1 80 East Thirty-sixth
street.
From Thirtieth street to Thirty
fourth street Central avenue is straight
and motormen usually speet there. The
motorman on the southbound car yes
terday acknowledged that he saw the
engine leaving the house but supposed
that the driver 1ould make a turn as
soon as he was on the street and would
get off the track.
The driver says that he did not hear
the car coming. He was positive that
the gong was not sounded. He said
yesterday that the first he knew that a
street car was near him was when it
struck the wagon.
This Is the second piece OF fire fight
ing apparatus that has been damaged
by being struck by street car within
two weeks. on Monday, June 18, hose
wagon was struck at the corner of
Maple avenue and Twenty-fourth street
and three firemen were injured.

Taft Is opposed to the policy of retain
ing any number of troops In San Fran
cisco engaged in the work of relief and
restoration. He believes that these
duties should be taken up by the citi-
zens Of San Francisco themselves. The
longer the amy stays there the more
danger there Is Of conflict of author
ity between the municipal officials and
the officers Of the army. It is also
felt that tho people of San Francisco
would be much more self-respecting II
they are shculdered with the respon-
sibility Of maintaining order and re-
lieving the suffering.
The conduct Of the army officers and
men In tia great disaster In San
Francisco has done much to restore to
the army the confidence and respect OF
the people, and particularly Of mem
bers OF congress. II had become the
habit Of some congressman and sena-
tors on all occasions to decry the
American soldier. When the news came
Of the wiping out Of the Moros at
Mount Dajo in the PhiliDDines there
was a renewal Of the criticism Of the
army and IN outcry against the bru-
tally and cruelty Of the soldiers. This
has all been hushed. When the same
soldier, because those stationed on
the Pacific coast are Of the same army
that has occupied the Philippines,
went into the burning city, rescued
men, women and children, went hun
CRY that others might eat, and Meth
er slept nor rested night nor day
there was nothing heard about the
brutal soldiers.
The employment Of the army In this
work was without warrant of law, but
no violation Of red tapeism ever met
with so hearty approval or commanded
so much respect In congressional and
administration circles where the well
fare Of the soldier is supposed to be
In charge.

the supposed discovery Of q new sup
ply Of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Heretofore
the whole supply Of carbonate Of pot
ash fertilizer has come from Germany,
but DR.. Cushman, Of the roads office in
the agricultural department, believes
that he has found something In this
country. that will completely supplant
the German fertilizer.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material In his laboratory he ex-
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock a large percentage Of pot
ash. He extracted this potash by cleo
tr!city, but he concluded that as
ground rock is very cheap, It might be
worth while to try the experiment OF
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried It on his own farm, and
found that the powdered rock did act
uaIly act as a fertilizer.
The commercial value Of imported
fertilizer is about 800 q ton. II Ii

number of other crops require It The
ground rock, on the other hand, can be
produced for about three dollars q

could never be cornered. It takes
about twice as much Of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results a.

n the presidency, and declares
thai Theodore Roosevelt would be
Mr.. Taft's secretary OF state. This
Arrangement has caused President
roosevelt considerable amusement and
has excited the disabilities Of men In
public life generally.
The most frequently expressed opin-
ion in political circles Is that Mr..
Roosevelt is more likely to come to
the senate from New York than he is
to fill any other position. Senator
Platts term will expire on March 3,
1909. the date on which Mr.. Roosevelt
will cease to be president Of the
limited States. Mr.. Plat is not a can
didate for reelection, and II Mr.. Roose-
veIt enters the field 1t Is admitted that
no one will oppose him. The senate
would be a congenial field after two
terms in the White House. Some of the
older members Of the senate who have
not had the most pleasant relations
With Mr.. Roosevelt as president are
already grinning in anticipation Of the
fun they VIII nave In haz1ng the new
senator from New York. Those who
know the president do not doubt that
he will be able to take good care of
himself when the hazing begins.
After Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
presidency even though he is elected
a senator from New York II is believed
that his plans contemplate a tour of
the world. He could start At once
and Go this tour before the beginning
of the regular session Of congress fol-
lowing. II is admitted that no one,
not even Grant, has received greater
honors than would be accorded to Mr.
Roosevelt by all the great foreign ma
tons he would visit His reputation
as the great peacemaker Of the world
would insure him a triumphal tour.
