Mr. Bowen is authority for the statement that it has been postponed until the 10th of March to please Mrs. Darneal, though the parental objections to the match have not by any means been removed. The Bowen-Darneal engagement tas been the subject of much talk in sociery, particularly on account of the opposition of Mrs. Darneal to Mr. Bowen. The | mother thought her daughter should look much higher, and was emph. n her as- sertlons that she should never marry him with her consent. She had nothing espe- clal against the young man except that she thought him rather gay and not alto- gether impressed with the responsibilitics of married life. The fact that young | | Bowen is a member of the wholesale firra | of Wetmore, Bowen & Co. and thac it| deals in wines was also held against him.

Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 118 Broadway, Feb. 15. Mrs. Dicka Cool Ward is trying to se- cure a separa Alameda and another romance of a se- cret marriage has been wrecked on the rocks of the divorce court. The wedding of Alan H. Ward and Miss Dicka Cool startled the soclal circles of Oakland and Alameda last Thanksgiving. Miss Cool is the daughter of Russell H. Cool, and dentists in Oekiand and San Fran- cisco. She is a beauty and was one of the belles of the younger set in Oakland. Alan H. Ward is one of the swagger voung men of Alameda and the son of a vealthy mining engineer. Last Thanksgiving Alan Ward and Miss Dicka Cool surprised everybody by slip- San Rafael, where ping quietly over to they were made husband and wifé in due'| form. But love was not to last long. Immediately after the ceremony they separated, returning to their own homes, and they haye only seen each other a very few times since the marriage. A few days ago Mrs. Ward flled her suit for a divorce and to-day Ward re- lied wife's complaint alleges Faithlessness on the part of her husband and the latter's answer is a general de- | nial. A LITTLE CONVIVIALITY | Wife of a Grants Pass Mining Man Whose Actions Are Causing Comment. The story which was circulated yvester- day morning concerning the robbery of | Mrs. J. R. Harvey of Chicago, a guest at| ,,,gcious fell into it'and was drowned. the Palace Hotel, proves on investigation to have been a literal pipe dream. Mrs. Harvey arrived at the hostelry Wednes- day with her ten-year-old son and regis- tered from Chicago. Mrs. Harvey does not_come from that city. She is the wife of J. R. Harvey of Grants Pass, Or., and has evidently come to this city to escape from troublé, domestic or otherwise, and | gave her address as Chicago for the pur-| pose of escaping identification. | she acted as though under the influence of some drug and her behavior was such | as to cause those with whom she cams in contact to Imagine she was suffering from the effects of a prolonged debauch. In the evening she attended the perform- ance at the Columbia. Where she went after the theater closed is not known, but late in the night she was observed wandering about Market street as though half stupefied. J. Oppenheimer, a_ locai advertising agent, noticing her condition, Approached her and ascertaining that she lived at the Palace called a cab and took her there. On alighting from the cab Oppenheimer felt something dror into his pocket. He took no notice of it at the time, but after he had seen his charge placed in the proper hands he investigated and found a diamond ring with about fifteen stones set In a cluster in his pocket. At the same time he discovered that his own scarf pin was missing. Yesterday morning Oppenheimer called | on Mrs. Harvey and returned her ring, asking her at the same time if she knew what had become of his pin. She satd that it must have dropped out of his scarf when he was helping her the night before and she to comfort him for his loss. Oppenheimer cashed the order at the hotel office and went his way rejoicing. When an attempt was made yesterday to Interview Mrs. Harvey word was sent down that she could not be seen a: was upset and under the care of a phy- sician. From other sources, however, it was learned that the woman is addicted both to the use of liquor and drugs and that her present Indisposition is the re- sult of a too liberal indulgence in absinthe or some other like liquor. If the gossip that is floating round is to be believed Mrs. Harvey's actions at the Colum! were unconventional to the verge of eccentricity, It is said that she occupied & box at the performance, and her actions there were sufficlently out of the commonplace to distract the atten- tion of the audience from the stage. The climax was reached, so say these same gossips, when the bibulous lady attempted to climb out of the box on to the stage o that her ability as an entertal ching San Francisco wrote a letter in :hould have wider scope. ok ';:lchnfie sald that he intended to com- r et lon BLUNDERING BURGLARS. | O aPRlled 100 G0ined. who has never g Y been of since the letter arrived.

Proctor, presi- | dent of the United States Civil Service | Commission, and Chief Examiner A. R. | Serven, covering various points relative to civil service examinations. In his let- ter Mr. Proctor states that the best method of determining the relative effi- clency of employes is still an unsolved | | problem, and he gives as the opinion of | the commissfon with which he is con- | | nected that, other things being equal, seniority or length of service should gov- | ern in promotions.
