It was a green.and white wedding and the decorative scheme was carried out with excellent taste, white chrysanthemums showing effective- ly against a background of feérns, potted plants and ivy. In each doorway was a | grill of vine, from which was suspended a true-lovers’ knot. In one end‘of the drawing-room, where the marriage ser- vice was read by the Rev. C. R. Brown, pastor of the First Congregational Church, an arch was formed of ferns and white chrysanthemums, in the center of which was a lovers’ knot of broad white ribbon with long streamers. The bride's gown, of white silk crepe de chine, was elaborately trimmed with embroidered chiffon and rare lace. Chif- fon and lace ruffles edged the long train. The lace was the same that ornamented the wedding gown of the bride’s mother. The veil was held in place with a beau- tiful diamond cluster pin, the gift of the groom. The bridal bouquet was of maidenhair fern and tulle. Miss Blanche Morse was maid of honor and wore a dainty gown of pale green crepe de chine, tucked and with a wide | pleating around the skirt. She carried white chrysanthemums. The ribbon- | bearers were Widber de la Montanya, | Chester Newell and Clifton Sause. Harry de la Montanya attended the groom as best man. A wedding supper was served, the forty guests being seated at small tables in { the dining-room. The bride's table was |in the center, beneath a circle of elec- tric lights, shaded with red lanterns and supported by long ropes of smilax, which extended to the four corners of the room! | The newly married pair left last even- L e e e e e e e e |STANFORD TEAM FINISHING i PRACTICE FOR BIG GAME IWork of Plsyersi; Fast and Bril- liant and Brings Out Col- lege Yell. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 30 | The football bleachers were filled yester- day afternoon by the-college rooters and women students, who eagerly watchéd the last practica of the varsity team which they will be allowed to see before Stanford meets the veteran California team on November 8. The enthusiasm shown by the cardinal supporters augurs well for a strong yelling organization at the big game. More than 600 tickets have been reserved for the Stanford rooters, and no one will be allowed in the cardinal | section on November 8 who is not a Stan- ferd student, former student or graduate. Last night's practice was sufficiently fast and full of brilliant work by various players to give plenty of incentive for the | oft-repeated yells. The weather has been | ideal for football practice, and the | coaches are putting their men through the hardest work of the season. Fortu- nately the condition of the men has been | such that few have been lald up with injuries. Freshman Magee, who appar- ently had a cinch on right half, is still out of the game as a result of his injury in the Nevada game, but will be on the gridiron again very soon. Paul Tarpey, captain’ and halfback on the victorious ‘05 freshman team, has been filling Ma- gee’s position- during the week. He plays a hard, fast game and is probably the best man on the gridiron at running through a scattered fieid. In last might’s practice the work of Barnhisel and Spratt in breaking through the line and blocking kicks was particu- larly. brilliant. If the freshman tackle continues his good work his chances for the big eleven are excellent. g - Gt OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Several Changes Are Made in the Postal Service and More Pen- * sions Granted.

Cable inquiry was made of Governor Taft as to the actual condition at this time. In a' cable received to-day Governor Taft states that the cholera has prac- tically disappeared from the island . of Luzon, and that in Manila there has been only 4n average of two cases a day during the last ten days.. In all twen- ty provinces are now practically free of the cholera. Only five provinces are now seriously affected—the provinces of Iloilo, Occidental Negros, Capiz, Samar and Misamis. The percentage of mortality, which in the beginning reached %0 per cent,” has been greatly reduced, and is now gener- ally below 50 per cent. The Commissioner of Public Health for the archipelago states that Cebu has al- ready been declared a clean port, and that Manila will be so declared on No- vember 1. . —_— Maniac Yelps Like a Dog.

It took four men to hold him until the officers arrived, They placed handcuffs on him, tied him and carried him to the police station.

Franslin Bell and hili plan of aiding the people of the provinces | of Batangas and Laguna, Luzon, and of | the fsland of Mindoro. This plan was put into effect after the cessation of hostili- tles. It consisted of selling rice and sup- plying the people with seeds and farm- ing implements, and it resulted in profits amounting to $27,000 in gold. General Bell has recently been ordered home. The presidentes of all the towns in Batangas province petitioned General | Bell to take steps to have his plan of aid continued after his departure. General Bell thereupon consulted General Davis | and the members of the Civil Commis-} sion on the matter, and decided to place | the $27,000 in his possession in the hands of the commission to be expended by the commission among the people of the pro- vinees. General Bell came to Manila as the | guest of Govermor Taft and drafted an act covering the continuation of his plan. | This act was accepted by the commis- ‘sion, and General Bell transferred the ' $27,000 to the indilar treasury. ! After this transfer of funds had been | made Libertas published an article charging General Bell with an attempt to steal this fund and take it with him to the United States, but saying the com- mission had forced him to surrender the money. General Davis transmitted to ! General Bell officially a copy of the Lib- ertas’ article. General Bell responded by | denying the charges. General Davis thereupon transmitted the papers to Gov- ernor Taft, who in his turn remitted them to the Prosecuting Attorney. This official then instituted the proceedings against the newspaper.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Counsel for the defense in the Molineux trial moved to- day that the court direct the jury to acquit the defendant on the ground that the evidence was insufficient. Justice Lambert denied the motion. Former Governor Black, in moving Molineux’s acquittal, said the evidence given was pot sufficient to warrant a con- viction: that there was no evidence that | the defendant had ever had in his pos- session cyanide of mercury or the bottle holder in which the poison was; and that he did not mail the poison package, and that there was no proof whatever con- necting the defendant with the crime charged. At the close of Governor Black's argu- ment Justice Lambert said: “I will deny the motion for the present and will hear all the evidence.” Black then asked the court to permit him to make his opening address to the jury to-morrow and Justice Lambert ac- quiesced, declaring court adjourned until then. After adjournment Black said: “There is a strong likelihood that we ghall call Molineux to the stand, but nothing has been decided.” ———— Knights Templars’ Auxiliary.
