FREDERICK FUN- STON were tendered & recep- tion at Ebell Hall this after- noon, to which Oakland soclety,despite the frownings of the clouds, turned out en masse. The affair was the first large function given by the Ebell Society this season and was extremely fash- fonable. The hall, under the direction of the Misses Crellln, was most beautifully decorated for the occasion. , Mosses of cosmos and ferns were employed to brighten the scene, and flags lent a patriotic and military tone, the na- tional colors being draped about the platform, while smaller standards hung from the walls. The vari-colored gowns of the ladles, contrasted with the more somber dress of the many gentlemen present to help welcome the Kansas hero, made the scene most brilllant. The hall was darkened and the gas lighted, At 8 o’clock, the hour for the begin- ning of the reception, General and Mrs. Funston arrived, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Otto Blankart and Mrs. W. O. Cullen, the parents and sister of Mrs. Funston. They were escorted by Mrs. Roland P. Gleason, president of Ebell, to a place near the platform, where they were presented in turn to the guests, the recelving party con- sisting of General and Mrs. Funston, Mrs. Cullen, Mrs. Gleason and Mrs. Vernon Waldron. The general reception committes for the soclety consisted of Mrs. W. A. Childs, Mrs. Kate A. Buckley, Mrs. lin Bangs, Mrs. L. S. Burchard, Mrs, J. W. McClymonds, Mrs. J. R Scupham, Mrs. John Russ, Mrs. C. T. Rodolph and Mrs. Seth Mann. From 3 until 8 o’clock the gallant soldler and his bride greeted those who had come to honor them. Gen- eral Funston, a lttle more grave, & little more military than when he satled with his regiment from San Francisco for the Philippines, was in full uniform. Mrs. Funston stood at his right and was gowned in pink silk, with a lace overdress. Her paleness, acquired under a trying Oriental sun, made her seem prettier though less girlish than when she left for battle scenes to be near her fighting hus- band. Mrs. Cullen was in yellow stlk, and looked most charming. Mrs. Gleason was in black silk; Mrs. Wal- dron in gray. Refreshments were served at half- past 4 by & coterie of ladies under the direction of Miss Josephine Klein. They were Mrs. Milton Bulkley, Mrs. Tyler Henshaw, Miss Catton and Miss Jenkins of the State University; Miss Pope and Miss Ethel Gage. The re- freshments consisted of frappe, coffes and fancy cakes. While the guests were enjoying the menu Alfred Wil- ke, the tenor, rendered “Amo’” and as an encore “The Sword of Bunker HilL" Mr. Wilkie's volce has re- gained its past beauty and strength since his very severe illness, and his singing was greatly enjoyved. Though It had been Informally an- nounced that elther General or Mrs, Funston would speak for a few mo- ments during the reception neither dld eo. The general, modest as he is brave, s not overfond of speech-mak- ing and would rather face a Spanish or Philippine battery than an assem- blage. Mrs. Funston was excused also.

Money for the purchase of a site upon which to build the free library is coming | in very slowly. Up to date only $7200 has | been pledged, and the lowest amount con- sidered necessary Is $30,000. For the past two weeks nothing whatever has been heard of the project. No meeting has been called and nothing has been done publicly. G. Russell Lukens. who took the Initia- tive in organizing the site fund commit- tee, says that some of the members have been out of town and that accounts for the apparent lack of energy. They have | now returned and the matter is . to be‘ u\'}‘(‘en up]ln earnest. here is still an. opinion prev: some quarters that it Would’pbe l?e‘fl’(‘!‘r ‘lg ce the library to be built with Mr. negie’s money on one of the public squares. J. H. W. Sohst, a director of the Merchants' Exchange, has made pub- lic his reasons why the library should be placed on Lincoln square. Some of the City Councllmen also favor this Idea, which seems to be advanced more b cause it would do away with the neces sity for raising money to purchase a site mlnnlrorbany other reason. t is about concluded that the matt shall be left to the Board of lerat:; Trustees and they shall select a site and approve the plans. When the matter was first heard of much haste was shown in every direction, but for the past month little has been heard of the matter. Ala- meda, which has a site and has been prom- ised by Mr. Carnegie that he will give the final $10,000 toward the erection of any bullding they may decide upon, has pro- claimed that she will collect the neces- sary money before Oakland, which has had two months’ start, shall obtain the money for her site. The manner in which things are working at present has caused Alamedans to declare that the odds are now in their favor. “The matter s golng along all right,” sald G. Russell Lukens, “and we shall as soon as possible decide upon a plan of canvassing that will include the whole city. At present over $7000 has been ised, mostly In large amounts. This Is not a matter, however, which could be attended to by a few People Everybody should consider it a privilege to subscribe toward a handsome free library, and the work of obtaining subscriptions should be so arranged that everybody would be given an opportunity to subscribe. In a few days this matter will be well un- der way. We are losing nothing by do- ing a little thinking as we proceed, and I may say that many available sites have already been thought about by those in- terested in the matter, though of course nothing definite has been decided upon.” BODY FOUND FLOATING NEAR OAKLAND MOLE OAKLAND, ' Oct. 21.—The body of a man, supposed to be G.

AKLAND, Oct. 21.—Once again Lady Sholto Douglas 1s in California. @ Her ladyship arrived early this evening at the home of her mother, ¢ Mrs, Margaret J. Mooney, 1419 Linden street, this city, direct from Glasgow, Scotland, whence she sailed on the 5th instant. She is & accompanied by her little son Bruce Francisco, lord elect and helr J prospective to the Marquis of Queensberry's estate. < Her ladyship returns with a decidedly English accent, yet a manner un- 4 assuming and far from that which so frequently marks the transition from ¢ the ranks of labor to wealth and title. The environments of Lord Sholto $ Douglas’ mansion at Cheltenham, the comforts and ease of a titled lady J with many servants at her command, and the necessary ociation and & mingling with lords and ladles of the English aristocracy have not les- sened her love for the land of her birth or its people, or the comparatively ¢ humble home of her mother and kin. : Before her ladyship married Into the family of the Marquis of Queens- § berry she was Miss Loretta Addis-Mooney, a music hall songstress of con- & siderable talent and versatility. The story of how she first met Lord Sholto ¢ Douglas at Bakersfield, while she was there in a music hall; of how he met 3 an English rival In the attentions he lavished upon her, and how the young & lord's rival had hoped to accomplish a coup by having the lord arrested on ¢ & charge of Insanity; Douglas’ release and his victory and final marriage at San Jose nearly five years ago, has all been exploited, and even now her ¢ ladyship feels keenly the newspaper notoriety accorded her love affair at the § time, Lady Douglas left California a little over three years ago and went to & British Columbia, in accordance with the wish of the Marquis of Queens- ¢ berry, who desired that an heir to the family title should be born on British soil. After the birth of little Viscount Bruce her ladyship and Lord Douglas went to England. There has been a little doubt as to how the Marquis and Marchioness ‘would ‘recelve the little California girl who was mother to the direct heir to the house of Queensberry. In England there are many ideas regarding vau- deville artists and singers, but Lady Sholto soon convinced her august father- in-law and mother-in-law that if California does not produce titles it sends out women with an independence and womanliness that make them the peer of British aristocracy. The old Marquis welcomed the little singer warmly, and at once declared that little Bruce was a worthy scion of the line that is so closely identified with the world of sport. Her ladyship was met at Benicia by her brother, Augustus J. Mooney; her sister, Margie; her uncle, J. W. McNell, and a small party of friends. She was quite fatigued from the long journey, but cheerfully assented to give some of her impressions and views of domestic life among the English aris- tocracy. *Oh, 1t 18 so good to be back in America again, and particularly in Cali- fornia,” said her ladyship. “But really, the past four years have been the pleasantest in all my life. My husband is very good, and I like our home at Cheltenham very much, but we spend a great deal of our time at the Mar- quis’ home in Cadogan place, London. I've been through England, France, and Scotland, and I think England is delightful. I salled with baby Bruce from Glasgow on the 5th of this month, while Lord Sholto is hunting in Eng- land. We arrived in New York last Monday, but we stopped there only about four hours and hastened right on to my old home in Oakland. We both enjoyed the trip very much, but are quite fatigued. We are both very well otherwise. Bruce had been suffering from a cold, but the ocean voyage did him good, you know. And now I suppose you would like to know how 1 was received in England. Well, I can onl v that I got a very good reception from all sides. Now, there you are, and if you misquote me, re- member it is going to be different from what it was last time, when so many unkind and ridiculous things were printed about us. This time you'll hear from England. Why, it was perfectly outrageous the ; the papers went on about us. Why, one woman writer said I had big feet and shoe-button eyes, or something to that effect, and really I sometimes feel a little prejudiced for the many unpleasant things said about us. “But, after all, America is my home, and although I'm awfully fond of England and English people, there's no other country like America, and particularly California. Indeed, I love America, where the people are good; but, really, when they are bad they are very bad. And, don’t you know, now that I've been away several years—away from all those reporters and news- paper people that do not run after you in England as they do here—it really feems ridiculous. In England they don’t fuss about whether you're going to live or die; but here they're after you continually, name is adorned with some title. “We Americans are an independent nation,” she continued, *“and don't think anything about titles; yet they always run after people of title to learn about their private affairs. They ask you is your husband delicate and has your baby five fingers just like everybody else's baby. Oh, it's absurd! The Americans pretend not to care for titles, yet they always gloat over the visit of such as have titles. Really, of what importance am I to the American people? I'm just as much theirs as they are mine. I may have more servants now and a larger and more beautiful home and every comfort in life, and I may have attended many more social functions in London than here; yet I am sure I will find it really more comfortable in the old home of my girl- hood.” The overland train carrying her ladyship and son was due in Oakland this forenoon, but was nearly seven hours late. So greatly fatigued were the teavelers that almost immediately after Lady Sholto Douglas had been greet- ed by her mother in her old home she retired and would be seen by Bo re- orters. PO er ladyship will sojourn in Oakland untfl about Christmas time, when her husband is expected to arrive, who will accompany her on the journey homeward. Mrs, Mooney Is stmply delighted with her little grandson. *He is the fol- Iest little baby in all the world,” she said to-night, “and I'm proud of him, as I am of his lordship, his father, who loves Loretta and who has always been good to her, as well as to all of us.” particularly if your R s Al A e A g g O e B R o o O g R R B S S B O O s SCR KO8 JOR SR 303 ?
