THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1896. 3 ONE DAY'S WORK [N CONGRESS, Was in Session for One Hundred and Eight Hours. ADJOURNS TO-MORROW. Long Debate Before the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill Passed. HOUSE AND SENATE AT OUTS. Democrats Question the Financial Methods of the Republican Majority. VASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—Busi- the first session of the Fifty-fourth was practically concluded to-day eement of the twe bodies upon ivil and District of Columb:a ation bills—the only remaining tters of difference between the two houses when they met this morning. To accomplish this the House voted to concur with the Senate in its amendments | to the sundry ecivil appropriations bill f §900,000 for certain public buildings. | vote—100 ayves to 88 noes—demon- strated what had been feared would not be found, a quorum of members still in the city. The provision in the District bill cutting off appropriations to religions and charitable institutions was amended so as to make the new policy effective after ine 30, 1897. Previous to reaching a con- | sion the House passed many measures under suspension of the rules. The concurrent resolution for the final adjournment of Congress at 4 p. M. to- morrow was received from the Senate and agreed to. Although there werelessthan fifty mem- bers present, several measures were dis- posed of without objection, among them | the following: A resolution offered by C. W. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania, that the Secretary of the ry be required to communicate to = House at the commencement of the t session such information as he may or may be able to obtain in the cantime as to the comparative merits { advantages of pure nickel, nickel al- loy, aluminum combined or alloyed with metals, and of copper bronze as material for our minor coins, and,for the purpose of making such information as full and com- possible, the Secretary of the ry is authorized to have struck ch experimental minor coins of the metals mentioned, pure and 1n combina- tion with other metals, as he may deem necessary and proper. He is requested to communicate to the Housethe results and derived from such experi- | 1afroth (R.) of Colorado moved to sus- the rules and pass a bill providing the punishment of persons who set fire to timber on the public domain. On the motion of Mondell (R.) of Wro- ming, the Senate concurrent resolution was agreed to, directing the Secretary of the Interior to resume the work of issuing patents to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, for lands sold by it to bona-fide purchasers, according to the hists supplied | by the company. This work was suspend- ed a year ago, and about two and a half millionjacres of land and 15,000 purchasers are affected. A resolution reported from the Commit- tee on Printing, by Richardson (D.) of Tennessee, providing for the printing of 5000 copies of the bankruptcy bill, was assed. pGmut (R.) of Vermont called up the conference reporton the District of Colum- bia appropriation bill, made yesterday afternoon, and the House voted to further insist on its disagreement to the Senate amendments still in dispute. Under the suspension of the rules, the followirg were passed: Joint resolution extending the scope of the good roads investigation belng conducted by the Agricultural Department. Senate joint resolution extending the benefits conferred by sections 1426 and 1573, Revised Statutes, re- garding service and re-enlistment to allen- listed in the navy. House bill amending the law regulating the landing of submarine for- eign telegraph cables, 50 as to require Congres- gional assent in the future. Heretofore the permission of the State Department only has been necessary. House bill setting apart asa State park, under the direction of tne Secre- tary of the Interior, about 70,000 acres of land on Mount Tacoma, Wash. House bill opening national cemeteries to burial of army nurt honorably discharged. House bill in- creasing from $2000 to $10,000 the limit of elaims of postmasters for loss by fire, burglary and other unavoidable causes, which the Postoffice Department may settle without re- ferring to Congress. House bill to protect the public forest reserve from depredations. Sen- ate bill appropriating $200,000 to aid and en- courage the trans-Mississippi and International Exposition to be he at Omaha in 1898. House joint resolution extending for a year the time within which settlerson and pur- chasers of lands on ceded (ndian reservations may prove their claims and settle with the Government. House bill amending the ship- ping laws so &s to still further provide for the comfort and weil-being of sallors. Cannon (R.) of Illinois presented the conference report on the urgent deficiency bill, showing the Senate had receded from its amendment giving a month’s salary to Congressional emploves on the roll De- ¢ moer 2. 1895, and since discharged. The report was adopted. Walker (R.) of Massachusetts, chairman of the Committee on Banking and Cur- rency, stated that early in next December the committee would report a bill dealing with the whole subject of the Govern- ment’s financial policy and the banking and currency interests of the country. Cannon reported a total disagreement of the public building amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill and moved that the House further insist on its dis- agreement. In a brief statement of the situation Cannon expressed his belief that the bill would not fail and that for himself, indi- vidually, he would vote to further insist upon disagreeing to these amendments. 1f the House was not of that opinion and yoted to recede, that would- pass the bill with all these amend ments. Wilson briefly urged the adoption of his | motion to concur with the Senate. The House in five cases upon this very bill nad waived the parliamentary principle contended for by Cannon and it could Ii-?t e now insist upon its observance. charged adiscrimination against the West- | ern Ftates in the matter_of public build- i r them, the providing of which :Jr;;go’n Lostu!e's entry into the Union had been the invariable policy of the Govern- m;;;:x‘e (R.) of Kansas supporting Can- non’s motion, said it was ubn?lut time for the House to let *‘that Senate’” know that it wounld no longer bedriven and drummed about at the pleasure of that body. Owens (D.) of Kentucky said it seemed 10 be the feeling of everybody in the Senate amerdment to a bill was to stand firm and the House at the earliest moment wolld lie down to be stepped on. ‘‘Let’s fool 'em once and give ’em ‘to know that we have a policy of our own and propose to enforce it.” TApplause.] Wilson’s motion to recede and concur in the Senate amendments was lost on a division—81 to 88—but by a vote by tellers it was reversed—ayes 90, noes 74. The ayes and noes were then taken—ayes 100, noes 88. This action passed the bill, and the announcement was greeted with ap- plause. Speaker Reed announced the appoint- ment of the following committees to sit during the recess: To investigate the charges against the Leavenworth Soldiers’ Home—Grout (R.) of Vermont, C. W. Stone (R.) of Penn- aBlvuma. Wamer (R.) of Illinois, Sayers (D.) of Texas and Layton (D.) of Ohio. To investigate and report upon the best means of putting underground telephone, telegraph and electric-light wires in the District of Columbia—Babcock (R.) of Wisconsin, Odell (R.) of New York and Richardson (D.) of Tennessce. _Senate amendments were agreed to the bill to punish the transporters of alcohol or other liquors under a false name or brand. The final agreement of the conferees on the Distiict of Columbia appropriation bill was pre-ented and agreed to. Asto the charities provision, it was agreed that after june 30, 1897, no money should be paid to any religious society or institution, or }o one under sectarian or religious con- trol. Cannon (R.) of Illinois took occasion to briefly review thelegislation of the session. The Republicans, having power only in the House, proposed a revenue measure that would obviate the necessity of bor- rowing money, but in another body iv has slept the sleep of death. So the best that could be done was to provide for the expenditures of the Gov- ernment, taking care in the appropriation bills to enter upon no new field not de- manding attention. The result had been, he asserted, that there was no scandals of legislation and the House would appeal to the country for its vindication. I[n the next Congress, with restored Republican supremacy in the executive and legisla- tive departments of the Government, the Republican party would re-enact the Re- publican protective principle into the legis- lation of the country, providing sufficient revenue for the Government and at the same time labor for the toiling miilions and those who want to toil. [Great ap- plause.] Boutelle (R.) of Maine—Mr. Speaker, if it is in order, I move that when we ad- journ it be to’ meet at the polls. [Laugh- rs (D.) of Texas, ex-chairman Committee on Appropriations, re- of the plying to Cannon, charged the majo v with extravagance, despite what had been said. In the presence of diminishing revenues and adepleted treasury, Congress had appropriated $520,000,000 at this session of Congress, and he prophesied that those at the next session would swell the total for the Fiity-fourth Congress to over $1,100,000,000, besides mortgaging the future for $100,000,000. To offset ;that the Republican party proposed to increase the taxes upon the people. “The tides of November have not vet come, and if Yyou (addressing the Republican members) are honest with your party at St. Louis, we'll try conclusions with you at the polls and determine there whether or not the people approve extravagance in public expenditures and the policy of increased taxes.”” [Applause. Dockery (D.) of Missouri followed with a vigorous arraignment of the Republican majority for its departore from the policy of retrenchment and economy announced by Speaker Reed at the beginning of the session. Dingley (R.) of Maine closedjthe debate, which extended quite unexpectedly for nearly two hours, with an earnest defense of the Republican policy of protection as evidenced by the history of the country under its operation, ané he prophesied a return of prosperity under a renewal of that principle in its legislation. He as- serted, amid Republican applause, that there would be no return of prosperity nor increase of confidence until sufficient rev- enue was provided for the expenses of the Government. It was decided to print 10,000 copies of the report of the Committee on Ways and Means regarding Japanese competition, and 10.000 copies of the testimony taken at the Nicaragua canal hearings by the Com- mittee on Interstate ana Foreign Com- merce. The Senate amendment to the resolution providing for final adjournment, fixing the hour for 4 o'clock to-morrow, was agreed to. President Cleveland’s message vetoing the bill to lease the Fort Omaha military reservation to the State of Nebraska for State military purposes was read and ;e{errcfl to the Committee on Military Af- airs. The House then took a recess until 9:30 o’clock, when it was called to order, a dozen members on the floor. A recess was taken uutil 10:30 o’clock, when the enroll- ment of several bills was reported and Speaker Reed signed them at®10:50. The sundry civil appropriation bill was signed, when, it being found that the District of Columbia bill would not be ready to-night, on motion by Dingley (R.) of Maine, about twenty members being present, the House adjourned until 11 o’clock to-morrow. This brought to an end the legislative day of Saturday, June 6, which extended over a period of 108 hour Chirenrglh g THE SENATE'S SESSION. 4 Bi Curtailing Judicial Power in Contempt-of- Court Cases. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—In the Senate to-day Hill (D.) of New York moved to proceed with the consideration of the bill as to contempts of court (arising out of the Debs case). An appeal was made to him by Mitchell (R.) of Oregon not to press the motion, but to permit the consideration of the House joint resolu- tion looking to the reorganization of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. Hill listened to Mitchell’s appeal, but per- sisted, nevertheless, in his motion. The contempt-of-court bill was then taken up and Peffer (Pop.) of Kansas addressed the Senate upon it, expressing his satisfaction with the bill. The amendment offered by Cannon (R.) of Utah, making & jury trial obligatory and not discretionary with the juage, was agreed to, and the bill as amended was passed. It divides contempts of court into two classes—direct and indirect. Contempts committed during the sitting of the court or of a judge in chambers are direct contempts, ali others are indirect. A direct contempt may be punished sum- marily. In the case of indirect contempt a reasonable opportunity is to be given the accused to purge himself of such contempt and to have a trial by jury. A judgment of conviction for indirect contempt may be reviewed upon direct appeat or by writ of error from the Supreme Court, and be affirmed, reversed or modified. At 6 o’clock a message was received from the House announcing agreement on the sundry civil bill, the House receding from its disagreemgnt to the Senate amend- ments for the erection of various public buildings. The Senate then at 11 o’clock adjourned until to-morrow at 11 o’clock.. Weights for the Sparkway. GRAVESEND RACETRACK, N. Y., June 10.—The weights for the Sparkway handicap, at one and a sixteenth miies, which will be run to-morrow, are as fol- lows: Clifford 130, St. Maxim and Brighi Pneebus 115 each, Hastings, Lehman and Senator Grady 108 each, Galilee and Dorian 107 each, Belmar 105, Ferrier 104, Peace- maker, Zaragosa and Connoisseur 100 each, Refugee 96, Owlet, Aurealian, Brandywine and Flora Thornton 95 each, Song and Dance 92, Captain T and Primrose 90, AL AL Murderers in Danger of Lynching.

PREPARING A WELCOME His Friends Doubt That He Will Accept the Convention Chairmanship. MAY STILL SOME TEMPESTS. The Delegation Is Against Gould and Likes Foote—Congressional Politics. LOS ANGELES, CaL, June 10.—Prepa- rations are going forward auspiciously for the home reception to Senator Stephen M. White which will take place next Friday afterncon and evening, provided the distin- guished gentleman arrives on schedule time. The general reception committee of twenty has been holding meetings daily with the view of making the reception work complete in every detail. A full complement of sub-committees has been appointed, and all are working barmoni- ously. This will be a non-partisan demon- stration, and will be hearty, genuine and full of earnest zeal, - Great political significance attaches to Senator White’s return at this time. The reception itself has no political signifi- cance. It is a spontaneous tribute toa United States Senator who has stood with the great body of Los Angeles business men in the great harbor contest. But this return will be on the eve of the County Convention of White’s party, wherein all manner of strife and divisions seem immirent. The Senator, with his usual pacific band, is expected to pour the sweet oil of peace uvon these warring fac- tion and to fuse them into one harmoni- ous unity. He will get Los Angeles County’s in- dorsement for chairman of the State con- vention, if he will take it. but leading Demoecrats of both factions believe he will oppose such a move. His friend, Patton, will be chairman of the county conven- tion. This convention will adopt unanimously a strong resolution instructing its dele- gates to Sacramento to instruct in turn the State delegates to the National Con- vention to use all honorable means to se- cure the nomination of Senator White for the Presidency. A consensus of opinion among leading Democrats of the “purist” faction on the question of the chairmanship of the State convention is thatsome neutral man other than Frank Gould of Stockton should be selected for that position, which suggests Senator White, but, as before stated, a majority of them think he will decline this honor, since he expects to be one of the delegates-at-large to the National Con- vention. It is now thought that a resolution will pass in the County Convention instructing the delegates to the State Convention to stand for the admission of both sets of delegates from San Francisco. ‘“Billy” Foote has many friends among both fac- tions for delegate at large to the National Convention. There will be no resolution in favor of Foote, but it is believed that the thirty- nine delegates will be solidly for him. A | pronounced silver and San Pedro resolu- tion will go through with a whoop. Owing to the harbor fight, which en- gendered so much hostility among certain elements here, the Congressional contest promises to be one of the warmest ever known to Southern California. An interesting feature of this fight is that the Populists have so far made no nomination for Congressman, which means that they will indorse an acceptable nomi- nee of the Democrats. George S. Patton, be very acceptable to the Populists. So too, would H. C. Dillon, attorney of the Salt Lake Railroad, whick will seek tp reach tidewater at San Pedro. Not only the Populists, but labor organi- zations throughout this district are favor- able to San Pedro. The foregoing indi- cates what Mr. McLachlan will have to contend with in the coming canvass. CALIFORNIA WINES WIN THE DAY. They Will Be Admitted Free of Duty to Hawaii if Under 18 Per Cent Alcohol. HONOLULU, June 3, 1896.—Minister Da- mon’s wine bill has passed both houses ot the Legislature. It admits duty free all California winesunder 18 per cent alcohol. This begins next new year and continues five years. P. C. Jones has presented to the Govern- ment & proposition from Rithet & Co. of Victoria, B. C., to place in London $4,000,~ 000 of Hawaiian bonds with 4 per cent in- terest, at a discount of 5 per cent and 2 per centcommission. Inconsequence the Sen- ate has promptly taken from the table Min- ister Damon’s supposedly defunct bill for refunding the Hawaiian debt at 15 per cent discount, and has recommended it to the Executive for the necessary changes. It now seems clear that the whole Hawaiian debt will be refunded at much less sacri- fice than Damon had Plnnned for, which had defeated his bill. . The proposed loan for public improvements of $800,000 at 5 ver vent interest, bonds to be sold in Honolulu, will naturally go to London at 4 per cent also. As the ninety regular days of the session were nearly expired, President Dole has used his prerogative and extended the session ten days longer. P. C. Jones has thus indicated his sagacity in opposing the sale of bonds at 15 per cent disconnt, as well as his disin- terestedness in that opposition, it Laving been claimed that he was biased by an in- clination as a lender of money to keep up rates of interest in Honolulu. . The wife of General A. 8. Hartwell dies this morning. i iR COAL-MINERS ABOUT TO STRIKE. They Will Bitterly Oppose the Co-Operative Plan of Running the Works. DENVER, Coro., June 10.-~Mass-meet- ings of union coal-miners have been held in several towns in the lignite field north of Denver to-day, and resolutions calling for a general strike of all miners there have been adopted. The miners in several places have been on a strike for sorce time, in an effort to force the operators to live up to the old agreement relative to wages and to secure the reinstatement of several leaders who left work to attend a miners’ picnic, when positively ordered by their employers not to do so. By endeavorin, to import colored labor from Kansas un§ who is of strong silver tendencies, would | by adonting a co-operative plah of operat- ing the coal mines the owners hope to out- wit the strikers, and this general strike ordered to-day is for the purpose of check- ing such action. The union is now sup- plying the strikers with grovmgnu, and they declare they will fight against the importation of colored help. e STUDENTS IN A RIOT. Harvard Men Clash With Police and Several on Both Sides Are Badly Bruised. BOSTON, Mass., June 10.—A riot took place in Harvard Square to-night, and as a result several Harvard students have severe bruiscs and several of the Cam- bridge policemen are nursing wounds. It all happened as a result of the students exuberance over the victory of the Harvard baseball club at Princeton. Three students were locked up, and one was so badly cut about the head that a physician was summoned to the police station. Twelve stitches were taken in the wound. Heis Arthur T. Pilling, a sopho- more. The other two students are Goldthwait H. Darr, a junior, and Clay Briggs, special student. Patrolmen Corcoran, Murray, McElroy, and Dy nan were roughly handled, and the coat of the first-named was stripped from his back. The others were struck in the faces with fists and sticks. This all oc- curred_after the officers had attempted to arrest Briggs on the charge of discharging firearms on the street. ————— Minister Terrell Suils for Turkey. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 10. — Hon.

FILL HOLLOW MOLARS. Denizens of the Seaside Town Sacrifice Themselves to Science. [ 4 PROGRESS OF A CENTURY. Modern Methods Compared to the Primitive Ways of Years Agone SANTA CRUZ, CaL., June 10.—Dr. Rus- sell H. Cool of Oakland to-night stepped out of the scientific routine that is of great importance to the dentists in the State Convention here and presented an illus- trated lecture which was of interest to the non-professional members of the andience. The leciure lacked nothing in interest to the dentists themselves, though shorn of the technical language that usually clothes the essays and papers. Dr. Cool was assisted by Dr. C. L. Goddard. The subject of the lecture was, “Popular Dis- semination of Dental Knowledge,” in which was shown the duty a dentist owed to his patrons ana the advantage of pos- sessing sonnd teeth. He spoke upon their care as being a part of the training that children should receive. The stereopticon views presented were amusing and instructive. The opening of the day’s session found four of the dentists at their chairs with patients ready to demonstrate some special feature of practical dentistry. The visitors present took a great interest in the clinics. Dr. Alired Cane of San Francisco placed a large gold filling in a central incisor, using his newly invented “rotative phyger.” This instrument gives no shock to the tooth and is noiseless. The filling was solid and sightly. Dr.' Ay F. Merriman Jr. of Oakland placed a similar filling, but much larger. in the mate to the tooth filled by Dr. Cane, but instead of using a single plugging in- stru.nent the doctor used at least a half- dozen varieties, incliding hand, automatic and engine mallets, to demonstrate the range of possibilities in gold tilling. This filling was likewise very creditable. Dr. F. C. Pague performed ‘1mmediate root filling” in'the nerve canal of a right upper lateral incisor, using salal and paraffine by capillary attraction and gutta- percha cones, Dr. J. E. Cummings of San rancisco commenced a clinic in makinga porcelain jacket crown for an upper in- | cisor, and "will complete this and other porcelain work at later sessions. With the afternoon session there were presented as applicants for membership: L‘A K. Hilliard, San Jose; L. Bliss, Santa Cruz; C. J. Pearce, Watsonville. The trustees reported favorably upon the following applications received yesterday and the applicats were elected to member- ship: T.W. Drullard, F. E. Sawyer, L. L. White, W. P. English, mma T. Read, Clyde S. Payne, George W. Rodolph, F. D. Ashworth, W. H. Halsey and M. O. Wyatt. The clinics of the morning session were discussed by the convention and became | so interesting that the discussion en- | croached upon the time allowed for the | reading of papers. Dr. Merriman brought his patient into the convention that his fellow dentists might see the result of his demonstration of the restoration of a filling |in a central incisor by the use of various | mallets. Drs. Metcalf, Krowies, Lewis and Mrs. Dr. Read discussed the clinics and ex- pressed pleasure at the result. The balance of the afternoon was occu- pied with the reading of papers and mat- ters of routine business. ‘““A Retrospect of Half a Century’’ was read by Dr. J. L. Asay of San Jose and attracted many fay- orable comments from the delegates. The older men were reminded of the primitive ways of the early dentists, and the younger men appreciated the refer- ence to the improvements and and ad- vancement made by the present-day dent- | ists, to whom, the paper stated, was due | to a large extent the present success of dental science. Dr. De Crow of San Jose, in discussing the paper, reviewed some of his own expe- riences, sumilar to those referred to by Dr. Asay in his paper, which led Dr. Lewis to | declare in a_ jocular way that Dr. De Crow had reached the age of 109 years and still retained an unjarred memory of some wonderfully ancient events in dental science. A motion by Dr. C. L. Goddard of San Francisco that hereafter each alternate convention of the State Dental Associa- tion be held outside of San Francisco was referred to the committee on resolutions. This 18 the first time the convention has ever been held outside of San Francisco | and the visit to Santa Cruz seems to have had the effect of creating a desire with most of the dentists to combine a summer outing with their annual business.

Armenians Accused of Starting Fires Which Destroyed the Homes of Two Colonists. FRESNO, CaL., June 10.—The Sheriff’s force, District Attorney Snow and the | local Constabulary are still seeking the assassin of the Shahamarian family. They are all looking for the murderer is Rus- siantown. Although the prediction that the mur- derer would be arrested to-day was not ful- | filled, yet some important evidence was discovered. The silence of the Russians in regard to | the murder must be broken, and this is very difficult to do. Spies will be sent among them to learn what they know. A Carn correspondent, working in con- junction with Deputy Constable Crutcher, | ascertained to-day the names of some of | the Russians who had made threats | against Benjamin Shahamarian, declaring that he, who had visited women and little | girls, ought to be shot or hanged. | This is important, as heretofore it has | been impossible to learn who made such | statements. It supplies a clew to work | apon. As the Armenians are now charging the | Russians with the triple murder, the Russians are charging the Armenians with | drowning a little Russian boy in the river | several montbs ago. The boy’s body was faund upon the bank of the stream. Last night two homes in Russiantown were burned. The Russians now allege that the fires were the work of Armenians.

Fomented Hallucinations That Would Place Her in an Asylum. STRANGE TALES OF WITNESSES Supposititions Telephone Messages’ Telling of Her Husband's Inconstancy. STOCKTON, Carn., June 10.—An dinter esting case ison trial before Judge Smith of Department 2 of the Superior Court. Some time ago Mrs. Copsey, wife of one of the wealthy men of this county, was adjudged insane and her estate was placed in charge of a man named Davis as her guardian. She had peculiar hallucinations at that time, and believed she heard messages through the walls of her home which told her of the improper conduct of her aged husband with other women. She had, be- fore that, suffered a stroke of paralysis which affected her brain, and she was taken before the courts here and. adjudged incompetent to manage her own affairs. Since then she has recovered somewhat from her stroke of paralysis and she now believes she is perfectly able to manage her own affairs. . Her guardian is vigor- ously contesting her action to oust him from his position. It was shown to-day that every effort was made by Mrs. Copsey’s nurses and others to foment Mrs. Copsey’s hallucina- tions when her mind showed signs of weakening. A fake telephone was placed in her room, and the nurse would pretend to telephone to aleading grocer in the city, where Copsey was in the habit of trading. She would pretend to receive re- plies to the effect that the invalid’s hus- band was drunk and that he was consort- ing with Chinese and with negresses. Mrs. Copsey’s counsel to-day endeavored to show that all these and other acts were in- tended to assist in unbalancing her mind. It was shown this afternoon that Mrs. Copsey had made a will in which she left the bulk of her fortune to her guardian, who is fighting the present contest on her part to be declared competent, and that she left very little to her husband. 1t was also brought out by the testimony that some of the ranchhands on the Copsey place were made to masquerade as women | for the purpose of mystifying the woman whose mind was supposed tobe failing. One of these ranchhands, who is known as Dutch Harry, gave |testimony to this effect to-day. Robert Nortb rup, one of the witnesses for Mrs. Copsey, gave some damaging tes- timony against the nurse who made use of the supposititious telephone. He after- ward admitted on cross-examination that Le had served a term in San Quentin for stage-robbery, having pleaded ;guilty to the charge. The case will be continued to-morrow. e Coming to San Franeisco. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 10.—Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
