NEW YORK, Oct 24-Only the
ROBUSTNESS of the three bridesmaids
made the wedding tonight of Mrs. Mary
Percy w. Evans, millionaire sclubnan
of San Francisco and Vancouver, an
affair of international complications.
The ceremony was performed in the
handsome residence of Mrs. Eugene
Field Clarke, 176 Riverside drive The
drawing room was "a beautiful bower

influence over the vivacious brides
maids, but with little avail. s
The candlesticks, which made the
wedding notable, were those in the Dell
roy collection. which the best man had
accumulated in nine years journey
around the world. Prominent in the
collection was a rare nine branch can
dlestick which was brought to America
in 1779 by a son OF Mrs Phelena Field,
great grandmother of Cyrus w Field,

perfection.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
e. L. Copefeld. Among the guests
were Mrs Eugene Clarke, Mrs. David
Field and DR.. Carlos Macdonald.
After a short visit in Washington and
Baltimore Mr.. and Mrs. Evans will go
abroad on their wedding journey. They
will sail for Europe on the Mauretania,
and will visit London with relatives
and friends of Evans. On returning
to America the couple will reside In
Vancouver.
The bridesmaids are very clamorous
to go on the wedding journey with the
bride. Their names are Kondo San,
Pinka San and Otoyo Geisha. They
are highly pedigreed Japanese spaniels
from the mikado's imperial kennels
and were held in proper position DUR
ing the wedding in leash by the bride
to keep them from scampering about
the church. They were given a
special dog dinner by Mrs. Eugene
Clarke. wife Of the opera singer Miss
Lillian Russell's spaniel was also a
guest at the feast.

SAN JOSE. Oct. 24.--Louis d. Costa,
manager OF the Costa canning company
and well known as a composer, was
killed this afternoon by the accidental
discharge of a shotgun. The tragedy
was witnessed by several persons.
Costa bade his wife and children
goodby shortly after 5 o'clock yester-
day and climbed into his automobile
with an enploye, o. G. yucca, for the
purpose of doing some business with a
rancher who lives in Stone avenue. Ar
riving at this place the hired man
jumped out of the machine and opened
a gate. Costa started the machine to-
ward this entrance, but the turn was
not short enough and he was forced
to stop and back. As he started ahead
again a shotgun which was resting
against his side was discharged and

MORE ORPHANS
Children Sent to Santa Barbara
Will Be Returned Here in
a Few Days

Within few days there will be a
larger supply of orphans at the Mount
St. Joseph orphan asylum for the sis
ters to feed and clothe. This week the
girls who went TO Santa Barbara after
the terrible fire a fortnight ago which
destroyed their orphanage home Will
return, and next week those who are
at Los Angeles and at Hollister will
come back. Nearly 100 are at Santa
Barbara and Los Angeles, each and a
score or more are at Hollister.
Despite the fact that money is com
ing in to The Calls fund at an encour-
aging rate 1t is not enough.
Let not the public get the idea that
an effort is being made TO supply the
orphans with luxuries. The barest ne
cessities to make them moderately
comfortable are all that the sisters
have any idea Of purchasing now.
At present the children have no as
sembly nor recreation room. They
gather in groups in the bare Railways
and on the echoing stairways, making
themselves busy with their little tasks
of sewing, or with their books and
games.
At present they regard 1t in the light
of something of a lark but with the
older ones the novelty Is beginning to
wear off and there are those sad little
childish signs and longings for the
homely comforts they have lost

make the place habitabie even, while

Pine Mathewson Biplane Rises Fifty
Feet in Air.

The Pine Mathewson Denver BIZ
plane, which has been laid up for re-
pairs since the wheels were broken ac-
cidentally Friday afternoon, this morn
ing made several more successful
flights from the Taylor tract north of
Garfield park. The machine rose in
the air to the height of about fifty feet
each time and remained up for some
time, alighting after each trial without
accident. other tests are being made
this afternoon.
The biplane was brought here from
Denver more than a week ago and set
up in a tent in the aviation field north
of Topeka. After making several sue
cessful flights Friday it was caught in
wind gust and fell to the ground.
The rear wheels were smashed but no
one was hurt. Further attempts were
delayed until new wheels arrived from
Kansas City. Twenty-six inch wheels
are used and could not be found in
Topeka, the airship men say. They
are trying out their aircraft here, hav-
ing been attracted to the Taylor tract
from the reports of Aviator Mars who
was here in June.
