SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 22—The Super- visors of Marin County are serlously con- | templating the closing of the county high. | way known as the “hill 10ad” leading from San Rafael to San Quentin prison. | Some time ago the State Board of Prison Directors, through Directors J. H. Wil- kins and C. N. Felton, appeared before the Supervisors and asked that the road | | be closed and made private, claiming it | was for best interests of the State in general to grant this wish. The hill road has been a public highway since 1854 and is the main driveway to the penitentiary, passing directly in front of the prizon. For this reason it is easy, so it is claimed, for ammunition, guns or opium to be cached by evil doers along | this road and ultimately passed inside like the bodies and heads of men, | machime guns and artil- | the prison walls, thereby precipitating an outbreak or at least insubordination among the inmates. Several times before the Prison Directors have attempted to commanding officer on touching a | have this highway abolished and as far button in electrical connection with the | back as 1893 took the matter into court. targets. The problem of the firing line is to make as many hits as possible on these target: which are irregularly visible, and at the | same time simulate the condition of ac- tual war by keeping up a hot blank cart- ridge fire upon the practicers. The appar- atus, which was invented by First Lieu- tenant Tschirschky, is expensive, as it uses up much ammunition, opinion of the numerous high officers prest the trials are admirable adapted to instill composure in the firing line. — e Chambers’ New Play a Frost. LONDON, Sept. 22.—Arthur Bourchier produced Haddon Chambers’ play, “The Golden Silence,” in the Garrick Theater this evening. It proved to be a very dis- appointing comedy. Bourchier has sel- dom received a cooler reception, his part, that of an American painter, being the feeblest in the play. At the close of the performance Haddon Chambers came forward uninvited and bowed from the stage. He was recelved with a chorus of groans. but in the | The county, however, won out. After the Folsom outbreak the matter was thought of more favorably and to-day the Super- \lso?l investigated a proposition whereby the te offers to bulld another road for the county. ———— Cheap Rates to California.

This was the opin- fon of the police to-night after a day spent by the entire detective force in at- | tempting to unravel the uncertainty which surrounds the terrible death of the young woman. The belief of the police that she was not murdered and her body placed on the track agrees with that of the Coroner and a second physician, who performed the autopsy upon the body, neither of whom inclines to the theory of murder. Notwithstanding their belief that the case | 1s cne of sulcide, the police are still work- | ing on it and will continue to do so until further effort in that direction seems use- less. Miss Rayl came to this city from Wells- | ville, Ohto, some time ago to take up the | work of nursing with her brother, who is a physiclan, and entered a training | school for nurses almost immediately up- on her arrival. The only known cause | for self-destruction, if the death of the | young woman proves to have been such, was a disappointment in a love affair at ‘Wellgville and this also is said to have been the cause of Miss Rayl leaving her home city. i EXPLOSION OF POWDER ENDS LIVES OF TWO MEN PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 22. — Twenty pounds of glant powder exploded last evening three miles south of Mount Ta- bor, killing John Simon and Edward Wey- gandt instantly. The mer were carrying the powder to a field, where they intended to blast stumps, when it is supposed one of them stumbled and fell, causing the powder to explode. | Both men were blown to pieces and their remains were scattered over an acre of ground. The fragments of the bodies were picked up and brought to the Cor- oner's office to-day. Both men leave families.

R A el SR D HE bethothal of Miss Caroline Stetson Ayres, daughter of Grove P. Ayres of Holbrook, Merrell & Stetson, to Dennis Searles has just been announced. The young lady has spent the summer at the out of town house of her parents at Menlo—Campo Bello—and the wooing beneath the oaks ended in a betrothal. The summer, with its balmy days and velvet nights, has wrought many a ten- der attachment—this Is a part of summé&r —its romances. The engagement of Miss Ayres and Mr. Searles Is without doubt | one of the cleverest summer coups of | Cupld. The wedding will occur in January. o e The engagement is announced of Miss in to Robert Mein of Oakland. The friends of both these popular young peo- ple have been long anticipating this pleas- hap: Miss Deming is a d ern womanhood—svelt, stunning clever.

To whom? To George F. Whittell, son of George Whittell, the capitalist, of | 1155 California street. The engagement appears to be one of the pleasant results of automobiling—and there seem to be some that are pleasant. Miss Landers during the, summer aston- ished Monterey sojourners by her daring | Tam o' Shanter rides in the ‘“red devils” and by her excursions in the auto of Mr. Whittell, who holds a Lou Dillon record for speed in his car. Mr. Whittell has been an ardent devotee of the new style of locomotion and has developed a pro- ficiency almost Parisian in propelling his machine. He is considered a capital fel- low and his friends are showering him with congratulations at having won so dainty a mald as Miss Landers. Miss Landers, as is well known, is a cousin of Mrs. Jack Johnson of Los An- geles, she who was the charming Berinice Landers. Yesterday was president’s day at the California Club. well gowned women gathered in the club. rooms to do honor to the president, Mrs. George Law Smith, who received the greetings of about 400 guests and mem bers. Mrs. Smith, by her tact and per- sonality, has succeeded in welding her —rather Mormonistic in proportions, per- haps, but bound together by ties of mutual regard and common interests. It was this affectlonate regard that drew together the largest audience of the pres- ent session and th&t promoted the senti- ment of goodfellowship among the mem- bers. The president took occasion to an- nouncle that on Saturday evening next the California Club will hold a mass meeting at Lyric Hall, Eddy street, for question. Senator J. R. Knowland will preside over the gathering and Samuel Shogtridge, Willlam Alvord, G. B. Ben- bam and P. H. McCarthy will deliver short addresses. The president urged her fair hearers to attend and not only to perform that duty, but to bring their friends—men friends, of course, whose opinions have a tangible value. The afternoon will surely prove a pleas- ant memory to the president during her task laden days of the future, as the club calendar is heavy with self created tasks. B R The wedding of Miss Alice Donovan to Dr. Willlam Hopper will occur at St. Mary's Cathedral on Octofer 1. A recep- tion will follow at the Sorosis Club rooms, to which zbout fifty guests will be bidden. Miss Donovan is a girl of fine mentality and a close student of music. The groom is prominently *connected with many clubs in this city and is looked upon by his fellow professionals as unusually pro. gressive in the field of medicine. o e . The Papyrus Club will entertain on Thursday at 2:30 p. m. at Utopla Hall The clever women of this club at all times have much to offer in the way of wit and goodfellowship, but this first of their fall affairs promises to scintillate with gleams of humor. Madame Semi- nario is going to render one of her de- lightful solos and Mr. McNaught is going to talk on “Woman's Clubs.” As they are all wondering what he knows about them and how he found out what he knows, the clubwomen are eager to hear him. — e — WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Information was received here that Mrs. Frank W.
