14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1896 BRIDEGROCM BRETE BACK The Benedict Returns From His Lonely Wedding Trip to Stockton. A RECONCILIATION EFFECTED. Father-in.Law Itsell Wilt Give Them His Blessing and Install Them in His Home. The mild sensation which followed the | hasty double wedding of the Itsell sisters | and the subsequent trip to Stockton and | vicinity of Bridegroom Bretz is subsiding. | Yesterday morning Mr. Bretz returned to this City to meet his tearful bride and her | jrate pava. A reconciliation was effected, | and the young counle will hereafter live together under the roof of the bride’s pa- | Tents. 1 Mr. Bretz during yesterday kept him- self in strict seclusion, so far. as the press | was concerned, bur during the afternoon a council of the young pesple was- held to | which a CALL reporter was admitted. Bridegroom Peterson and his bride, Mrs. | Bretz and a lady friend constituted the council, which, from being merry | as a marriage bell,” threatened at times to become as solemn as a funeral. | “] cannot see why the pu an interest in marriage,” remearked Mrs. Bretz with me petulance.

But i all his fault that it got out. It'sa pretty set of men we have now on the beneh in San Francisco.” Mrs. Bretz did appear a trifie weary, | though still a very substantial “shadow,”’ and her features bore testimony that this time the course of true love hasnotrun | smooth. | Other members of the council explained that Mr. Its displeasure at the mar- riage of his younger daughter was based upon his conviction that sbe was still too young to wed, and did not_include any | personal objection to young Bretz. - Since | the wedding, however, he had become | reconciled to the match, and the voung people would be given a home together be- | neath his roof. Mr. Peterson stated that he had seen | Mr. Bretz yesterday morning, and that he | was still in this City, but that he would | not submit to be interviewed. S { NOT AT HOME. When Seen Last Night the Missing | Clerk’s Father Said He Thought | His Bey Would Not Return. | OArLAND OFFIcE SAN FraANcisco CALL,) ‘ 908 Broadway,- Feb. o Clifford Bretz, the head clerk of the | Street Department, did not return home | to-day, and no one has any retiable infor- | mation regarding his whereabouts. Itis} now thought that the report of his having been at Stockton on Thursday was incor- rect. He has not communicated with any | one since he left his bride of a few hours | at the door of her parents’ house. i The Board of Works will meet on Mon- | out a happy one. | time he took occasion to play the composi- | their palmy days are included Listz, Ru- day, and 1t will appoint a new clerk to the Street Department in the place of young Bretz. The place is worth $125 a month, and there is a small army of applicants for the office. B Mr. Bretz, the father of the missing boy, says he does not think young Bretz has any desire to return to his position. : ©1 think Clifford has gone for good,’ said his father to-night. ‘‘The affair is more mysterious than ever, and Iam at a total loss to account for it. It is so unlike him that { do net think he has any idea of returning. He was always steady and at- tentive to his work, and he has been upset and after doing a foolish act he has re-, pented and gone away. *His quarrel with the voung lady tec whom he was engaged evidently made him desperate, and probably he did not realize what he was doing until after he had married Miss Itsell. Then he cleared out, and is probably out of the country. I cannot think he is'anywhere near here, or some of us would have heard irom him. He evidently does not care anything about his job, or he would have written to Superintendent Miller.” Meanwhile work in the Street Depart- ment is piled up several feet high, and Mr. Miller has notified the Board of Works that he mast have some 1mmediate help.

Paderewski Places a Local Composition in His Repertoire. Professor . Sauvlet, the local pian- ist and composer, has recently written his third “Gavotte de Concert,”’ and dedicated it to Paderewski. On the afternoon-of the 19th inst, Sauvlet was entertained by the great pianist at the Palace Hotel, at which tion, which was pronounced a work of merit. £ Paderewski at once assured Mr. Sauvlet that he would add the gavotte to his repertoire, and would surely have given the composer the honor of hearing his work played here in public but for the fact that his entire programme Wwas com- | pleted. 5 Mr. Sauylet is one of Paderewski’s | warmest admirers, and speaks of his great abilities in words of the highest praise. Among the celebrities he has heard in binstein, Hans von Bulow, Bauer and Pachmann, but be maintains that none of these possessed even to a moderate de- | gree the gifts of genius found in this later | day marvel. e Plenty of Fun at the Cliff Soon. == | Colonel T.

When off the Farallones a!l that was left on board was a couple of sacks of fiourand a few gallons of brackisn water that had been taken aboard at San Marcos Island. ‘When the pilot-boat America sighted the John N, Ingalls it was almost a calm, €aptain Ott wanted to getashore, howeyer, 8o Captain Frank Murphy, who was in command, agreed to put him aboard. A boat was lowered and the anxious master was put aboard the schooner. Now, if there is a pilot on the bay of San | Francisco that knows the winds and cur- Tents better than *‘Pete’” Ott he had better get up and declare himself. It was this knowledge that served the pilot in good stead. As soon as he learned that there were only flour and water aboard he began figuring on the nearest way home. g]—{e worked with that schooner as he never worked when he was fourth mate on a China clipper, and he finally caught a streak of wind that carried the schooner through the Golden Gate.

Chinese quail, pear brandy and champagne fol- lowed close one upon another to an ac- The feast consisted of twelve courses, which were served by a half dozen handsome young waiters attired in glorious oriental costumes. The Tinn Yee Quong Sow Benevolent Association was organized only a short time ago. Its object was mutual protec- tion and the gradual enlightenment of its members as to the ways of the Caucasians. The banquet of last night was a means toward that end. The chief City officials were invited to attend, and many. were there. Paderewski, the great pianist, had ex- pressed his intention of being present. During the last week an engagement was made to play at San Jose. This deparred him from participating in the feast, which 'was a source of great regret to the Chinese hosts, The guests were greeted at the restau- rant by the officers and directors of the Tinn Yee Quong Sow, ‘dressed in resplen- dent silken robes reaching to their ankles. Upon their Mongolian great coats rested immense gold badges with ribbons of red, gold and blue. This bit of modernism was a striking illustration of the desire of the Chinese of this society to appear Ameri- canized. The menu was most carefully served. During the dinner skilled musicians per- formed and attendants passed about the table continually replenishing the cups with rice brandy or pear wine. For the first course came birdsnest soup. This was followed with pickled eggs in slices, with ginger root. Mushrooms with Chinese asparagus made the next course. After a course of chicken livers with sugared vinegar sauce came more birds- nest, with chicken and mushrooms. Pre- served lemons and plums were next served, and then came some sharks’ fins NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. NEW SILKS!

YOUNG HOBART 0 WED His Engagement to Miss Wil-| liams of San Rafael Is Announced. The Bride Elect Is One of This Sea- son’s Debutantes and a Popu- lar Belle. | | The engagement of Walter Scott Hobart ana Miss Hannah Williams was an- nounced on Friday evening at a dinner given in honor of the happy voung couple at the Hobart residence on Van Ness | avenue. For some time past gossip has linked the names of the young couple, but so care- with chicken. Aftera service of preserved chestnuts bad been made roast Chinese quail were brought on the table. After these came chicken and ham brochette, duck and seed sprout saute, chin mi soup, French mushrooms served with ochop- sticks, fish brain soup, rice, chicken, fish and egg and sweetmeats and fraits. With this came an accompaniment of rice brandy, pear wine, claret and champagne. With the champagne came many. in ter- esting speeches. Chew Haw, the president of the organization, a tall, benevolent- looking man, with a face like De Wolf Hopper's, welcomed the guests in choicest Chinese, and then shook hands all around. His remarks were interpreted by Tim Cox, the secretary of the order, who, in a few well.chosen remarks, thanked the visitors for their interest. J. Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro’s secre- tary, said the banquet and the sentiments revealed by it were a revelation to him. “We have always considered the Chinese exclusive and rot desirous of adopting our ways,” he said. “Our experience of to- night shows that they are anxious to be- come better acquainted. The Chinese are decreasing numerically, and many of xhqse who remain seem anxious to get more in touch with American ideas and 'American progress. In that light the banquet of to-night, it seems to me, is _probably pro- phetic of new features in”v,he social and political life of the Chinese. S Supervisor Hughes addressed the Chi- nese as his constituents, explaining that he was in.his own district. He taanked them for their courtesy, and declared they had given him less trouble than the ‘| innabitants of any other part of his dis- trict, and never demanded repairs in the sewers and streets. £ 3 +] did not poll many votes in this pre- cinct,” he added, when M. M. Foote, the attorney for the Low Quong Chung Chew, interrupted with: S x “Bat you will next election, Supervisor, for our society alone polls over 600 votes.” Speeches followed by M. M. Foote, Judl;e Seawell, Justice Barry, Justice Groe- zinger, Oscar Rouleau and others. Then the full Chinese band, with its gongs and cymbals, was introduced, and a musical feast was served up with the cigars. Among the Caucasians present. were: Judge J. M. Seawell, Judge 6. C.Groe- zinger, Supervisors Dunker, Hughes, Wag- ner, Benjamin and Morgenstern, Prose- cuting Attorney William M. Madden, J. Taylor Rogers (for Mayor Sutro), Prose. cuting Attorney Frank Benjamin, Judge Carroll, T. J. Carroll, Judge George H. Bahrs, M. M. Foote, Deputy Assessors ‘W. Whan, C. H.

Walter Hobart is so well known in this City that the ergagement is sure to cre- ate a widespread interest. He' is .the possessor of a large fortune inherited from his father and spends the greater part of his time in the management of the im- mensge estate left him. ¢ He is extremely popular in social circles and enjoys the reputation of being one of | the foremost horsemen in this country. i Miss Williams is the daughter of Major | Williams of San Rafael and a niece of Brigadier-General Forsyth, who is in com- mand of the Department of California. | She has been passing the winter with Gen- | eral Forsyth at the Richelieu, and has been one of the most popular belles of the past season.

It the wind does not blow at too great a rate this afternoon, the most novel and thrilling balloon ascension ever given in this City will be made at the chutes. Essie Viola, the daring young Australian | aeronaut, and Emil Markeberg will both go up, suspended to the same balloon by two parachutes, one above the other, and when at an altitude of about 1000 feet the man will cut loose, allowing the girl to reach a great altitude by herself. A new balloon, the largest yet used at the chutes, bas been secured for the occasion, and it | will be necessary to pack it with not air in order to carry the combined weicht, 250 pounds.

The body was rescued by Robert Gibson, a boatman, who notified the Coroner, and the remains were taken to the Morgue. Homelson and a young boy, whose name cannot be ascertained, were taking a tri around the bay in a sailboat.

The boy who was in the boat wasun- able to render the drowning man any as- sistance. Homelson leaves a father and mother, who reside at Long bridge. Loome Youthful Criminals. The question of where certain youthful criminals shall be confined has caused the various county Judges considerable trou- ble at various times, because all are of the opinion thatthe incorrigible variety should be kept apart from those who might be re- formed. The question is at last settled. The Attorney-General has given an opin- ion to the superintendent of the Preston School of Industry that only “juvenile offenders’” can be received at that institu- tion. ‘“Incorrigible juveniles,” he says, “‘must_be sent to Whittier only, at which place iuvcmle offenders may also- be re- ceived.” = PADEREWSK|, THE GREATEST LIVING PIANIST, PLAYS THE TEINWAY!
