DECORNTING B BESUN Bridezmaids Are Named for the Leng-Requa Military Wed- ding Next Month. A Large Tent Is on the Lawa to -Ac- commodate Three Hundred and Fifty Guests. LAND OFFIC] AN Fraxorsco C.\Ln.z> 908 Broadway, Cet. 3. 1t of the year in social circles is wedding of Miss Amy Reéqua which will be soiemn- ay at St. Paul’s Episcopal At the Requa seat, Highlands, great preparations are being made for the event, No one at present in society remembers when there was a very swell military wed- di this city, and the interest is very at. The decorations at the beautiful home are being personally superintended by Mrs. Requa, and the designs are very patriotic and extremely artistic and grace- ful. The hig teat, in which the 350 guests will partake of the wedding breakfast, is al- ready up on the lawn. Ivy and vari- colored flags, with great branches of trees thrown across the top,are very pretty, and suggest the idea of a banquet in a decor- ated forest. Carriages will meet the guests at Piedmont, and carry them over to Highlands. Miss Amy Requa is one of the most beautiful brides of the year and has a very pretty wedding gown of white silk with dainty Valenciennes trimmings. The_bridesmaids are to be Lucy King, Miss Keci a's favorite cousin; Ida Belie Palmer, Miss Jessie Glascock, Miss Ham- ilton of Santa Monica and Miss Morgan. They will be attired in beautiful pink gowns with exquisite pink felt hats trimmed in pink ostrich feathers and pink velvet roses. It is not yet known who is to be “‘best man,” as the one orig- inally chosen by Colonel Long isill and cannot come from Washington. One little fact should not be lost sight of. The weading gown did not come from Paris, but is an Oakland creation, and so is nearly all of the bride’s gener- ous troussean. Miss Requa is an earnest advocate of bome industry.

The remarks of the able spenker were loudly applauded, and the mention of McKinley's name was received with tremendous ap- plause.

RIVAL CLUBS TO COMBINE Harmony Restored Between Berkeley Political Organi- zations. The McKinley League and the Repub- lican Club May Consolidate cn Nonday Night BERKELEY, Can. Oct. 3.—The two Republican clubs of Berkeley which have been contesting with one anotner over pri- maries and other matters are discussing the matter of consolidation, and it is probable that next Monday night will see them united into one organization, The two clubs—the Republican Club, whose president: is William Lair Hill, and the McKinley League, presided over by Joseph McLain—were both formed at the beginning of the present campaign. The members of the McKinley League claimed that their organization was the ‘“regular’’ one, formed under the auspices of the county cammittee, and a good deal of hit- terness was engendered by the contest for supremacy between the two clubs. The league and the club were opposed to one another at the recent primary elec- tions, and a lively split in the party, lo- cally, was predicted as a result of these fights, but now that the primares are over a spirit of reconciliation exists, and )rts are being made to affiliate the two lubs. The Republican Club will meet on Mon- day nignt in Oda Fellows’ Hall, and 1t is expected that an invitation will be ex- tended to tne other organization to con- solidate and make one club. President McClain of the McKinley League will attend the Republican Club meeting, and will probably bave some- thing to say on the matter of affiliation. *1 have not heard of any definite proposal for consolidation,” said Mr. McClain to- day, “‘but there has been a good deal of in- formal talk on the subject. “Itvis generally agreed that there are too many clubs in the town. Both the Mec- Kinley League and-the Republican Club are now working for the same end—the success of the Republican nominees+and there is certainly no reason why they should not work together.”” The ' two cinbs are about equal in strength. The Republican Club acnieved a viciory at the first primary election, when it stood for Hilborn for Congress, and the McKinley League was victorious in the last contest, in which it supported Stratton for State Senator.

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth spoke this evening in Ehatiuck Hall on “The Volunteers of America—Thoir Prlnc‘glel and Their Fu- ture.” The lecture, which attracted a lar, audience, was an eloquent presentation of the Volunteers’ claim for support, and review of their history and relations to the old Savation Army. 3 Miss Edith Russell and Miss Lelia Ellis gaye & musical recital tnis evening in Stiles Hall Miss Ellis hes been away from Berkeley sindy- ing in the East for some years, and was greeted with bearty applause.

Marshall Law, rector, have reor- ganized their non-sectarian naval brigade, with thirty-five members, It is t0 be AN OBJECT LESSON FOR LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES. BERKELEY, Car., Oct. 8.—The overcrowded condition of the buildings and classrooms at the State University has neces- sitated the erection of tents for the accommodation of the overflow. When these new canvas houses shall have been put into position Lere and there on the campus, a scene will be presented similar to that afforded by a typical modern campmeeting, with its main structure and its tented city round about. Thougk nearly every classroom in the university 1s crowded beyond all pro- portion, each professor seems to hope that the other will be chosen to move into the tents with his party of co-eds. For the present only three will be erected. The largest will measure 40x80 feet and bave a capacity of from 600 to 800 persons. The second in size will be in dimensions 30x60 feet and will seat about 850. The third is somewhat smaller. Iuis to be 30x60 feet mn area and will have a seating capacity of nearly 200. Every tent is to have a heavy canvas fly cover and a raised board floor. There will be a vestibule in each for hats and coats, and all tnree tents will have stoves in them. The use of tents for classrooms seems to be wholly unprecedented in the history of modern universities; and the recent saying of President Kellogg, that “Berkeley’s prosperity is her misfortune,” appears to have been timely and well placed. Every effort is now being made to secure pledges from Legislative candidates to work for a State appropriation of $250,000 for necessary permarent buildings. known as the First East Oakland Naval Company. The officers, as far as_elected, are; Edgar Pomeroy, captain; F. Tillot- son, secretary; B. Bryant, treasurer. ’.l;ge others are to be selected later from the ranks. Considering MYethods. OAKLAND, CaAL., Oct. 3.—The Repub- lican. County Central Committee was in session a short time to-aay and considered ways and means for conducting an active campaign tor the next four weeks.

The executive committee was authorized to make necessary arrangements for a rally Thursday evening in this city, when F. X. Schoonmaker of New Jersey wiil be the orator. He is said to be a very bril- liant and exceptionally well equipped po- litical speaker. Assessment Rolls.

CAN SEE THROUGH THE TELEPHONE Claim of a Wealthy Inven- tor of the Encinal City. Disguising the Voice Will No Longer Avail as a Means of Deceit. CLERK LANMBORN CONFIDENT Several People Have Tested the Ex- periment and Declare It Is a Success. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 3. City Clerk Lamborn of Alameda has been made the custodian of a scientific secret that will startle the whole speaking world. A wealthy resident of the Kncinal City who has been conducting his experi- ments in secret for several moaths claims to have discovered a method by which one person, when speaking at a telephone, can see the person to whom he or she may be peaking. The new invention, when it becomes common, will certainly be a great moral agent, as it will make it impossible to continue the present practice of dis- guising the voice to create the impression that some one other than the speaket is carrying on the conversation. Mr. Lambron is under a pledee not to divulge the name of the inventor, but vouches for the accuracy of the elec- trician’s claim. ‘‘He is an elderly man,” said the City Clerk, *‘ana is possessea of wealth and is well known. Everybody knows him and that is the reason s hy he wishes to remain incog. till his scheme is perfected. z “The machine has been tried in Ala- meda ana has worked perfectly. Wuile carrying on a conversation with some one over a telephone the inventor has seen quite plainly the face of the person to whom he was talking. There is still some doubt as to the efficacy of the machine over long distances. A few days ago we applied to the Sunset Telephone Company to lease us an exclusive wire from San Francisco during the hours of 1 to 4 in the afternoon. ‘e were willing to pay a reasonable sum for the privilege, but the price asked was so high that we decided to try some more economical method. “The inventor has worked for along time on this patent, and has spent con- siderable money on it. It consists of an attachment to the telephomne that refiects the face of the speakers, and more [ am not at liberty to say.” ‘Whnen app-ication was made to the tele- phone company for an exclusive wire, the manacers stated that ths wires couid be obtained at a cheaper rate during the night, but this did not_smt the unknown electrician, He is anxious to work in the daytime. Considerable incredulity has been ex- pressed regarding the success of the scheme to mazke the telephone carry the impressions of facrs, but Mr. Lamborn is confident and declares that several people in Alameda have witnessed its success at short distances, and that when a long- distance wire has been obtained the ex- periments will be completed and the se- cret given to the world, together with the name of the inventor. NO FREE SILVER PAPER Frank Confession of Two Editors Who Misread the Signs of the Times. OAKLAND OFrFICE SAN FRANCISCO GALL.} 908 Broad way, Oct. 3. Just tWo weeks ago two bright young men, misled by the utterances of a few, conceived the idea that Oakland would be a veritable mint for any one who had the courage to issue a ‘‘silver” paper. Special efforts were made to make a good showing with the first number, and the result was a very attractive and creditable newspaper. The projectors, Messri. Wasson & Kd- mundson, - spent considerable time in evolving a name for the newspaper, and after much thought dacided to call their journal *16 to 1.” The name has been conceded byithe editors to be peculiarly ap- propriate, bfit not in the generally ac- cepted sense of those figures. It was found that the desire for such politics as 16 to 1” advocated was about 16to1l against its policy. " The solicitors soon discovered that 16 to 1” was a very frosty proposition to lace before intellectual Oklanders, and 0. 1, voi. I was both its Alpba and Omega. The silver paper was merced in one short week into an independent journal and its name changed to the Mail. " In the current issue of the Mail the editors Auction Sales P. J.
