With the Custom of the Genial — NCLE GEORGE BROMLEY was in his element at the Christmas party given last evening by Col- onel and Mrs. Isaac Trumbo at their residence, 1533 Sutter street. and he filled the part to perfection. Uncle George had no mustache to decelve the little ones or their parents. He handed out gifts with such a *glad hand” that the reciplents were unable to refuse them. The aged clubman had a merry word for all. The winsome miss, the small boy who has be- come dubious about the man who comes down the chimney and the older folks who recall their own days of blissful ig- norance accepted from him presents of | all kinds. He was the accepted representative of | Colonel Trumbo and his beautiful wife. They had devoted the past week choosing presents for their friends that would be appreclated. : In giving his delightful party Colonel Trumbo simply followed a custom he in- augurated many years ago. His home bas always been thrown open on Christ- mas eve. Last night from 9 o’clock until midnight the gues dropped in to par- take of his hospitality. Among the friends who called were artists of ability, who rendered sweet songs and musical selec- tions. At 9 o'clock the carol singers of St. Luke's Church stood outside the bril- liantly lighted windows and “Noel.” At the conclusion of the song the chor- isters were invited in and made glad with presents and refreshments. The Knick- erbocker quartet and the Bohemian trio also rendered selection: Ossie Franks, the well known tenor, scored his usual success with his pleasing melodies. Louis recited, as did also Mrs. Nelue Holbrook-slinn.

LINES OF NEW GOODS All very suitable Man Who Expc: d he Utah Diamond Micc Fraud Called to Rest. News was received in the city yester- day that Clarence King, the well;known geologist and mining pert, died last Saturday at Phoenix, Ari: from gallop- | ing consumption. | The deceased was credited with being the greatest geologlst on this coast, and his services after his retirement from the employment of the Government were greatly in demand. His most sensational report was handed to W. C. Ralston many years ago, when he informed him that a | diamond mine, which was supposed to | | have been located in Southern Utah, was | | a fraud, and that if diamonds hau been found in that locality the claims had cer- tainly been ‘‘salted.” The Utah ‘‘diamond mine” incident oc- curred in the early seventies.

Clarence King, who happened to be in the city at the time, denounced the fraud | and said that with his knowledge of geol- ogy he was certain that diamonds did not exist in that locality.

He also wrote a book entitled *‘Moun- taineering in the High Sierras,” which 2% became very popular. B The last few years Clarence King has made his residence in New York, but he often came to California on mining busi- ness. In New York and this city he was very popular in club circles and his loss will be deeply mourned by a large num- ber of friends. EASTERN COUPLE COME TO COAST TO MARRY W. G.

The Washington Dramatic Society held a successful entertainment and dance Monday night at Union Square Hall. The principal event of the evening was the presentation of two farces, entifled re- spectively “Dr. Sawbones’ Assistant” and “My Turn Next.” The members of the society who took part in the farces were: Gerald Catania, Attillo S. Musante, John Twiscelmann, _Harry Scheibli, Miss Alyce Pasha, Miss Beesic Gee, Henry Bacher and Joseph A. Catanla. 10 and 17 were read. These were the minutes which were temporarily put in escrow the night of the ruction between the factions, when Mayor-elect Schmitz was hastily 'summoned to act as peace- maker. A suit is now pending for their recovery. How the Delaney faction se- cured them and how or why the Parry faction gave them up or lost them was not disclosed. A communication from the Iroquois Club requesting a conference with seven members of the committee to confer on the subject of public utilities was read. After T. Carl Spelling addressed the meeting the following were named as the committee: Lane, Hutchinson, Ryan, Cas- sidy, Stewart, Power and McKeon, Delegate Ryan reported that he had met Mayor-elect Schmitz and had invited him to 'll;e pré“senlti “But the Mayor said the troub’ l:fl? ;m;l!)glh." ;:dded Ryan, "&ndb‘:e ‘(’i?‘sl S v vant to mix up any i Beats Wife and Daughter. | fair, e i e g Next came the consideration of a Stata Thomas Brady, a watchman on the organization.
