I went to the Norwich schools and made that town my home until 1 came here in 1850. “I went to Cape Town and various points along the West Coast of Africa in 1831, and remsain«d there about two years. Before I came West I followed the sea for about seventeen years, bLeing with the London and Liverpool Packet Company. T was for a long time mate of the packet ship Henry Clay. “I came here as an attache of the Cus- toms service, having received my appoint- ment from Thomas Corwin. “I was married in 1844 and had three sons and three daughters, of whom all but two arestllliving. 1 have nineteen lineal descendants in ana about San Francisco. I have been a widower for nine years.” Mr. Brom!ey is a past commander of the California Commandery, Knights Tem- and has been an Odd Fellow since ‘I haye been a member of the Bohemian Club for twenty-four years,” he said, ‘‘and Icall it my home. I enjoy being there, and feel happy among the members.” Mr. Bromley speaks modestly of him- self, and he neglected to say that be was United States Consul to Tien Tsin, China, under Garfield. He was regarded as a charming diplomat, and those who had business with him found him uniformly courteous and painstaking in his work. Speeches were made until a late hour at the club, and all present wished the octo- genarian high priest of the club the Te- turn of many birthdays. THE INAUGURATION BALL. ‘Who It Is That the ¥Fiddlers and All the Rest. An inquiring correspondent has asked bow Washingtion pays the inauguration bill, says a Washington correspondent to the Boston Transcript. There is a tempta- tion 1o answer this question waggishly by ch a query betrays an igno- rance of Washington’s vart in the per- | formance. This city takes in the money instead of paying it out. The people who | come here, individually or in military or civic organizations, pay for whatever ihey getand at bandsome rates. They more then pay for those general undertakings which the local public carries out. The inaugnral ball is & device for levvinga direct tribute of $5 per head upon all the visitors. It ismota ball strictly. There is practically no dancing, and people go to it simply to see one another. Mrs. Senator-elect Iceburg coes that she | saying that | mav suitably maintain the dignity of ber George T. Bromley. b Priest” of the club, and as ciates at ail initiations, and presides at the annual jinks and other festivities of the club. I have heretofore been as modest asa girl about divulging my age.” said the charming_octogenarian yesterday, ‘‘but now that I have two great-grandch idren I shall biush bebind my fan no longer, so I confess that I was born at Norwich, Coun., on April 15, 1817, and that I have been growing older ever since, though I siill love life and enjoy the companion- ship of many ) g men and women, feeling younger mentally and bodily than many men of 50 and 60 years. My career is not one that is of any ence to the public, but since husband’s office, and the constituents of the new Senator go that they may see the Senator and his wife und all the other notables on dress parade. Mr. and Mrs. McKinley will attend the ball because the former will have just become President of the United States, and in his honor the ball is given. Mr. Jones of Podunk will g0 to the ball that he may grasp the hand of the new President, and others will go because they don't want to miss anything 15 taking place. ic steers clear of the inaugural ball— the old re-ident has long since regaraed 35 as a figure too high for the privilege of looking at those whom the whirl of fortune has suddenly brought to the top. | The ball, then, which yields from $50,000 up in revenue, costs practically nothing, and is paid for almost wholly by visitors from the outside, and except by people of comfortable means, by those who are at- tending their first inauguration. The ball has no deadnead list. Another source of income to the local committee is derived from the outside public in the form of an indirect tax. It comes through the con- | cessions which the commitee sells, like | permits for the erections of reviewing | stands and permits for the sale of various | articles at prominent points. Then the privilege of seiling a supper at $1a heag | at the ball is regarded by caterers as worth many thousand dollars. In all these ways it happens that the inaugura- tion committee raises more money than it | needs, and I think it was eight years ago | that the sum of $26,000 was turned over | from this source to charities in the disirict.

San Francisco, Cal. ln-n decided to give the name of Mo MARCEAU UNDER AN ATTACHMENT His Former Wife Charges Him With Misappro- priation. Part of the Fortune Left -Her Son Involved in the Case. He Is Aileged to Have Secured Three Thousand Doliars to Take Up a Nota. Theodore C. Marceau's photograph ga- lery and nis cash at Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank were attached yesterday to secure the payment of about $3200, alleged to have been misappropriated from the trust fund of J. Allen Fiske, the son of Mrs. Gerald Martin Fennell, the former wife of Marceau, and from whom he was recently | divorced. ! Some time in 1894 Marceau was in sore need of about $3000, as the story is told by | the attorneys for young Fiske, and sought on tke strength of his note to borrow that sum from Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank, but they refused to advance such & large sum of money without security. Marceau, the story continued, approached his wie, who was the guardian of Master Fiske, a son by her first husband, snd induced her to give him an order for $3000 on the $10,- 000 deposited to the credit of the lad in the German Savings and Loan Society, and also the two bankbooks of the cash portion of the boy’s $60,000 fortune left | him by his father. Using these documents as security Mar- ceau succeeded in negotiating the loan of | $3000 on his note. Eventually the note | fell due, but Marceau, it is stated, was in | the same financial condition as at the time be obtsined the loan. In this predica- | ment he made arrangements with the | bank by which the latter was enabled to | cash the order on the German Bank for | | $3000. | In the action instituted yesterday by | Dunne & McPike in the name of Mrs, Fen- nell, as the guardian of her son, it is | lezed that Marceau bas uulawfuily appro- | priated this sum to his own use, and has | never repaid any portion of it or paid any interest on the amount. It was in connection with this suit that the attachments were levied by the Sheriff | yesterday. | | VICTORY FOR BERKELE | California Collegians Defeat the Palo Alto Men at Baseball, Afier a Hotly Contested Gams the Blue and Gold Players Win Out by a Scors of 15—1I. Victory perched on the banner of the | blue and gold yesteraay afternoon at Cen- tral Park, the University of California baseball nine having defeated the Btan- ford team in the second of the series of | taree games this season by a score of 15 to | 11. Of the fourteen games that have been | played between the two universities in | the last five years, or since the inter- | collegiate agreement went into effect, this | 1s the second which Berkeley has to ber credit. | Never did a Roman warrior leave the tield of Mars with a lighter heart than did the Berkeley ball-players leave the diamond yesterday afternoon. It was a hard, fast game from start to finish, and at no time was tha interest at an ebb. The grand stand and the bleachers were well filled with lusty, leather-lunged col- legians and their maidens evident from the outset that wus to_be a close ove, with odds in favor ot the U. C. men. Btanford’s success were about even up until the seventh inning. Then it was | that Berkeley's fatal number became );I\on‘ . It was none other than a sim- ple “7. In the corner of the grounds the scorer hung up on great white placards the fol- lowing: Inning7—Stanford 7, Berkeley | 7. Attheend of the inninz he brought | out a fourth *'7” ana added it to Berke- | ley’s tally. It is a pecubar coincidence | that in the seventh inning, with the score | 7to 7 Berkeley made seven runs, which won the day for the blue and gold. The | names of Hoag, Wheeler, Sykes, Henne- | sey, Eiston, McLaren and' Ksarsburg wili | godown in the history ot U. C, baseball | as the men who formed the procession ot | seven base runners in the memorable | seventh inning. | The batting was heavy on both sides. | Two home runs were made, one by Hennesey and the other by]Loughead. Not | a single error was recorded for the Cali- | fornia team, while nine were charged up | against Stanford. Kaarsburg pitcheu | throughout the game for the U. C., while | Captain Thompson of Stan‘ord relieved | Beckett in the eighth. McLaren of the | Berkeley team, who went to pieces in last Saturday’s game at short, completely re- | trieved himself to-day by putting up a | star game at left field. | The Stanford team was the same as last | week, with the exception of Klauber, who | was put in at center field when Thompson relieved Beckett in the box. | Following is the detailed account of the game, with the work done by each player: | STANFORDS.
