The principal source Of '"a' supply
for the Pacific coast is the State Of

Major John Il. Lynch Takes Unto
/. Himself a Bride.
The news Of the marriage of Major
John r. Lynch, paymaster in the
United States Army, came as a pleas
ant surprise to his host Of friends
here. Major Lynch was married
August II to Miss Cora e. Williams,
Of Chicago. They will make their
permanent home at San Francisco
where the Major is stationed. Major
Lynch is regarded as a Washington-
ian, having resided in this city DUR
ing his years of service as Auditor
for the Navy Department as presi-
dent of the Capital Savings Bank. He
practiced law here also as the senior
member Of the firm of Lynch and
Terrell. Since the outbreak of the
Spanish-Amsrican War, he has been
a paymaster in the United States
Army, starting with the rank of cap
tain in the volunteer service. Con-
tinuing in the regular service after
the. war, he rose to the rank Of Ma
jor by virtue of the fine record he
has made as paymaster. For many
years, Major Lynch\was a political
leader In Mississippi, and in 1884, at
the republican national convention
which nominated James G. Blaine for
president, he served as temporary
| chairman, having been nominated for
