H, L. BARNES, WHO SLIPPED AWAY TO NEW E MARRIED. Cheated Bohemia of a Revel. It was not like him, and it is strange if his injured friends, his professional brethren and his clubmates do not de- mand reparation of some full and satis- factory sort. His wedding would have taken rank with the celebration of Uncle orge Bromley's birthday. His wooing would have been the pattern for. future ventures of the same sort by hundreds of his associates and his example would have driven the clerk of the marriage license office to work overtime and nights. He has stolen a march on Bohemia and is no doubt indulging in a long-distance chuckle over the prospect of coming home and saying, “It's all over.” B PLAN OF MUSEUM OF COMMERCE IS NOW PERFECTED Asiatio Association’s Aid to Be Accepted to Get ADVERTISEMENTS. NEW SILKS! SPRING - - - 1900 Large Trade. Congress Will Be Asked to Appropri- ate $50,000 for the Promotion of the Pacific Coast Enterprise. e ey The Pacific Commercial Museum has now a plan of organization, which was adopted at a meeting of the committee on promotion yesterday. Practically this is the plan which was formulated by the committee of ten. What now remalns to be done is to appoint a finance committee of sixty prominent citizens and then to collect the funds necessary to actually bring the museum into existence. This committee on finance will be selected at the next meeting of the promoters, which will be on Friday afternoon next. A suggestion was made to change the name on the ground that the people gen- erally thought that the purpose in View was to establish a show of some sort. The committee 100k the view that the purpose would be clear to all who could be count- ed upon te assist. In addition to the adop- tion of the plan the promoters adopted a resolution submitted by Isaac Upham and amended by M. H, de Young, that the home project might come in for $50,000 of Government aid, in which all commercial bodies on the coast were asked to request their Congressmen and Senators to sup- &%rt the pending bill to appropriate $200,- to the Philadelphia Commercial Mu- seum. Several proposed amendments to plan were rejected. *An amendment was adopted, which was introduced by R. P. Schwerin, to co-op- erate with the American Asiatic Assocla- tion. H. de Young opposed an amend- ‘ment to take from the executive governor the power to nominate all appointees and to substitute an executive committee of nine with a manager to name the ap- pointees. He claimed that this would de- stroy the efficiency of the plan. The pro- moters took his view of the case and killed the amendment. Every member of the committee of promoters will submit names for members of the finance committee at the next meeting. motion that President department. for waists Corded and Plisse Stri the B inches wide--.---- PR Our assortment of NEW SILKS for spring and summer wear is now most complete, and during the coming week we will show a great variety of the LATEST NOVELTIES in this Fancy Satin and Taffeta Stripe, open work effects. in all the new pastel shades..-.... $1.50 Yard Taffeta Plisse, in fancu stripes, newest effects $1.50 Yard pe Taffeta, self colors $1.35 Yard Two-toned Taffeta, white and colored satin stripes, extra heavy qualitg.----.... -$1.25 Yard Hemstitched and Corded Fancu Striped Taf- feta, in all the latest spring shades.-..... $1.25 Yard Open Wark Fancy Satin Striped Silk-........ -$1.15 Yard Extra Quality Soft Finish Foulard Silks, 24 $1.25 Yard Satin Finish Fine Twilled French Foulards, 23, 24 and 27 inches wide--$71.00 Yard Isaac Upham's Wheeler should be requested to call a general meeting upon his return from the East for the purpose of reporting his in- terview with President McKinley was adopted.

The witness told all about the contract to which Sylva referred and according to her testimony he did pot figure in it at all. The contract is with Louis F. Dun- and, for services performed and to be ren- dered In connection with some matters foreign to the Fair case and some allied with it. The amount is $25,000, not $30, 000. It is not indorsed by Son-in-Law Koehler and its payment is contingent upon Mrs. Cravep-Fair's success in her litigation against the Fair estate. The Trips to Sausalito. It was with Dunand that the petitioner made her first trip to Sausalito In quest of the evidence of the civil marriage cer- emony. She had told Mr. Foote about | it, but he could not go with her, and sug- gested that she take Dunand. The latter advised her to get the records before she told a.ng one about the !tola'. for he feared if it became public the documents would be tampered with. “Dunand knew Sylva,” sald the witne: “and suggested that as he was well ac- Iqua.lnled In Sausalito he would be the man to look up the details.

Dunand saw Judge Belrude in a crowd and said !D“Mrl Craven-Fair: ‘There’s your Justice of the Peace,” but the lady denied that Belrude was the man who had married her and Senator Fair, and Dunand went off to hunt up vlva and ascertain what progress he had made. In a few minutes Dunand returned with Sylva and Simpton to where Lerman and Mrs. Craven-Fair were waiting. Simpton recognized the lady at once, and exiending his hand remarked that it had been a long time since they had met. He sald he remembered all about the marriage ceremony, although his record of it had been burned, and agreed to write Mr. Foote all of the details he could call to mind. He kept his word in that instance, and later made an affidavit to the statement.

The Fair_forces refused to touch them, when the Pences, despite the objections of At- | torney McEnerney, convinced the court that they were admissible, and in they went. As Mrs. Koehler, who was not present in court, was to be the first witness foi- lowing her mother, an adjournment was taken until this morning. It is expected that Judge Jeremiah Sullivan and Lee D.

After rendering | | the woman unconscious the stranger ran from the house, followed by an eye-wit- ness to the assault. Meeting Detectives Dinan and Wren, he excitedly told them that the fleeing man had murdered a woman. The detectives gave chase, and, being unable to overtake the man, Dinan drew his revolver, and Polnflng it at the mur- | derous assailant of the woman, pulled the trigger. The cartridge failed to explode, “nnd as the fellow was fast outdistancing | bis pursuers, Dinan again pulled the trig- | ger, with the same result. Replacing the | revolver in his pocket, Dinan, who at one | time was a professional sprinter, discard- | ed his overcoat and started after the fleet- | footed stranger, determined to overtake | him. After an exciting chase of several blocks he finally succeeded in overhauling his game. The stranger, seeing he was cornered | suddenly turned on the detective. but wu laced hors de combat by a well directe: Elo' on the jaw. At the City Prison he | gave his name as Charles Brown. | | He ad- | mitted that he had beaten the Fitzgibbon woman, but refused to assign any reason for the cowardly assault. With blood streaming from half a dozen cuts in the head, the victim of Brown's | fiendishness was at once removed to the | Recelving Hospital, where she was at- | tended by Dr. Morrison. After the woutds | Wwere dressed the woman, when ques- tioned, declared that she did not krow her assailant and was at a loss to explain | why he had attacked her. About a week ago she sald she had a woman lodger in | the house arrested and she is inclined to believe that her action in the matter might have actuated the assault. To-day | Brown will be formally charged with an assault with a deadly weapon. ! ————— G000 0000000604000 03e0065eiebededebeded $200 which I ?n.ve him,” sald Mrs. Craven- Fair; “nor did I make arrangements with any one else for his benefit.
