Captain Lockett fears something serious may have befallen Willlams. Other friends of the missing steward express the bellef that he is on a spree and will come back again soon if such is the case. Others say he never drinks to excess. When seen at her home last evening the bride did not show any traces of anx- fety or suffering. She is rather a striking looking woman of the blonde type. “I have little to say,” was her reply to questions. ““This matter has all been fixed up and I do not wish to have it ap- pear in the papers. “No, my husband has not been home since, nor do I know where he is. I know that he will come back to me. He must be away on business, otherwise he would not have been gone so long. I have noth- ing more to say, for I dread notoriety. —_———————— Irishman’s Ground for Suit. Samuel Davis, court stenographer of the Second Circuit, says that an Irishman who, several years ago, tried to engage the legal services of his father, had the oddest ground for a lawsuit he has ever heard of. The Irishman wanted to sue his landlady for $15. He explained. that he made a contract to pay her 33 a week for board, but she was to deduct 25 cents for every meal he missed. Having got the contract duly signed, Pat began to board elsewhere and charged the landlady with whom he had contracted 25 cents for every meal he missed. He figured that by managing this way he missed $ 25 worth of meals each week, for which his con- tract required him to pay only 3, so that, by staying away he made $2 2 clear. The landlady refused to pay him his “profits,” and he wanted Mr. Davis to bring suit against her for him. “Father Jaughed at him a bit,” Mr. Davis says, “and he got indignant. ‘A conthract is a conthract,’ sald Pat, ‘and she ought to be made to live up to her'n as well as me to mine’ There were several other lawyers in town, and some of them were pretty hard up for cases, but I don’'t know of anybody that took that one after father turned it down.

The first tourists from the East taking advantage of the G. A. R. rates reached | the city last night and there is no doubt that large numbers will arrive daily from | now until the expiration of the tourist | concession. Active plans are under way | to glve the visitors a hearty reception when the delegations are all in. The reception committee of the thirty- seventh natlonal encampment, Grand | Army of the Republic, Major General W. | R. Shafter chairman, met at headquarters in the Grand Hotel last evening. The at- tendance of army comrades and other representative citizens was large. The chairman announced that it would be the pleasure and duty of the committee to ex- tend a cordial welcome on behalf of San | Francisco to the incoming veterans, and | suggested that as many members of the | committee as could get time to go out | on the raflroad and meet the incoming trains should report for duty at the head- quarters of the reception committee. i The rooms in the Palace Hotel formerly used by the Republican State Committee have been assigned to the reception com- mittee Many of the members present at the meeting designated days on which their services would be at the disposal of the chatrman. Among those that enlisted for the campaign were: Major General Dickinson, Turnbull, Judge A. J. Buckl C. Van | Fleet, Charles Edelman, N. J. Brittan, Eimore | C. Letfingwell, George W. Strohl, Jesse B, | Fuller, Dr. Voorsanger, A. W. Barrett, W. H. | e e e e e R Y ) A Triumph for the Motor Car.

Nelson Jackson and his chauffeur from San Francisco to New York. That the journey was made without se- rious mishap or accident, and that the| vehicle showed little signs of wear and| tear at the end of the trip, speaks highly for the quality of the machinery an workmanship. ‘In crossing Northern Cali- fornia, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebras- ka, Iowa, Iilinois and Indiana some of | the worst highways in the United States | must have been traversed, roads that would not be wholly compensated for by those of Pennsylvania and New York, which, fortunately for the travelers, gave pleasure to the last stage of the remark- able journey. As a rule Dr. Jackson ran his ma- chine twelve hours a day. Sometimes the journey was continued at night, and there were davs when the wheels were kept going from 5 in the morning until midnight. This was an unusual strain even for the best of roads, and none but a good mechanical equipment could have stood it. This journey was made purely for pleas- ure and to satisfy an enthusfastic motor- ist that it could be accomplished. But it ‘has demonstrated much more than this. It has shown the possibilities of the'au- tomobile even with the generally disrep- utable highways which are characteristio of nearly every rural district in the coun- try. But when good roads shall be the rule instead of the exception in_every State it may be predicted with confidence that such journeys as that made by Dr, Jackson will be far from extraordinary. ‘And while the entire trip across the con- tinent will not often be made with one machine,_ it is entirely within the proba- bilities that hefore a great while sturdy touring ‘motor cars will be at the disposal of travelers for successive stages o?o the entire distance.

WHEN RUSH WILL BEGIN. It is expected that the great rush of in- ccming visitors will begin early Saturday morning, August 15, and continue unti! Monday night, August 17.

The Sacramento Valley Veterans Brig- WELL-KENOWN MERCHANT IS CALLED BY DEATH Henry Cowell Succumbs to the Ef- fects of a Wound in the Shoulder. Henry Cowell, for many years a promi- nent merchant in this city, passed quietly away at an early hour yesterday morning at his late residence, 413 Hyde street. The cause of death is said to have been a bullet wound received in the southern part of the State several months ago. At that time Mr. Cowell had been visit- ing his ranch in Merced County. He had some trouble with a man named Ingolds- by over land. The latter shot Cowell with a revolver, the bullet taking effect in the shoulder. The Injured man apparently recovered from the effects of the wound, but lately it had bothered him and is sald to have completely wrecked his nervous system. He was taken i1l several days ago and became worse till he passed away yester- day morning. No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral. —_—————— OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 4—In Parliament to- day a resolution was adopted extending the bounties on fron and steel and granting boun- ties on structural and steel plates and wire rods. L e e . ade, G. A. R., will meet at 2:15 p. m. to- morrow at the headquarters of Corinth Post, Marysville, to elect a brigade com- mander, who will take charge of the brigade while en route to San Francisco and return, secure proper place in the column, and assume command during the parade; to appoint a reception committee, select a badge to be worn during the en- campment, and to transact all business appertaining to the encampment and the exhibit of the Sacramento valley counties and adjacent ones. Reports thus far re- ceived justify the prediction that the ex- hibit of the Sacramento Veteran Brigade at the Lick House dining-room will be one of the most successful ever held in this city or State. Tons of fruit, barrels of wine and mineral water have been promised and carloads of flowers will be sent every day for free distribution among the Eastern visitors. ARCH WILL BE BUILT.
