Romantic Side of Daughter’s Wedding in Charle:ton Is Revealed. B Mystery no longer surrounds the iden- tity of Chariton Shannon Barrette, the news of whose marriage to Miss May- belle Clary of Stockton in Charleston yesterday came as a great surprise to the young social favorite’s many friends and admirers in this city and proved a painful shock to her parents. The brevity of the message from Charleston which first conveyed to Mr. and Mrs. Clary at the Occidental Hotel the news of their pretty daughter's marriage caused them many hours of anxiety, for repeated efforts to lear by telegraph who Mr. Barrette proved fruitless. It was midnight before the parents of is long after the young bride retired and only then after they had been convinced that the hour of night had passed when they could expect an answer to their message of inquiry. The greater part of yesterday was ! also fraught with anxiety in so far as the loving parents were concerned, for still they were kept in ignorance as to who their new son-in-law was. LETTER .FROM THE BRIDE. Strangely the early morning mail brought to the bride's sister, Ethel, a letter from Maybelle, in which she briefly referred to an acquaintance she had made of a Mr. Barrette, but in her missive she conveyed not the slightest hint of her matrimonial intentions. During the hours of speculation Mr: Clary often remarked that she was con- fident that her absent daughter had made a good selection in a husband. and while discussing the marriage she she knew the young couple deserving of the parental blessing that had been telegraphed them in response to the surprising mes sage received the day before shortly after the wedding had taken place. Late last evening the anxiety of the Clarys was relieved by a telegram re- ceived by The Call, in which the facts coneerning the truly romantic nuptial affair of Mr. and Mrs. Barrette were revealed. It was an event that devel- out of the convention of the -d Daughters of the Confederacy, held in Charleston, at which Clary, chaperoned by Mr: tockton and Mrs. Voorhies ty, was an attendant. MEET AT HOSTELRY. The matrons and their young charge were guests at the St. John Hotel, in which happened to be located the head- quarters of the Daughters. It was at this hostelry that Miss Clary first met young Barrette, the clerk of the estab- lishment, and a casual acquaintance quickly ripened into a love affair. The betrothal was a hurried sequence of a few meetings between the young couple, who quietly planned their wed- ding, which was solemnized without the least attempt at ostentation at the residence of Rev. Dr. Vershaw, rector . Michael's Episcopal® Church. were oped Unit mediately after the wedding Mr. | d Mr: Barrette departed for Bishop- C., the home of the husband's parents. ceived here late last night it was the intention of the bridal pair to at once proceed on to Wilmington, N. C., it is their plan to visit a Miss Mears, and from there they will go to Mont gomery, Ala. Their bridal trip will ex- tend to New York, from where the bride expects to return to California with her husband.

Held in Maple Hall OAKLAND, Nov. 23.—Every year for forty-two years the warriors of Com- pany A of the Fifth Regiment of the National Guard have given a ball on Thanksgiving eve. They have laid aside musket and sword, the military bugle call has been superseded by the strains of the waltz and the game of | war has given way to social amuse- | ment on these gladsome occasions. The forty-third of these events will i be given Wednesday evening, and in- | stead of the great, barnlike armory, | the soldiars of the State will dance in Maple Hall, Particular efforts will be made this year to have the decorations of unusual merit. Electric lights to the number of 1500 will be used, while more thgn 500 flags will add color to | the \\'Bl‘. There will be special music, | and the indications are that the ball 1 will exceed in brilliancy and previous efforts, In fact there has been so much interest in the affair that it was found necessary to hold it in Maple Hall, the armory being entjrely too small. Company A of the Fifth Regiment is the oldest National Guard organiza- tion in the State, having been in ser- vice since 1861 without being disbanded. COMPANY A PREPARING FOR ITS ANNUAL BALL Forty-Third Social Function of the Oldest Guard Organization of the State to Be on Thanksgiving Eve It has alweys been a crack militia or- ganization and many of the most prominent people in the State have arisen from the ranks of this same Company A.

PRI Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, | 2148 Center Street, Nov. 23. | Captain Henry De H. Waite, com- | manaant of the cadet regiment of the University of California, was informed to-day through the United States army regulations for 1904 that the University of Californ s among the few colleges of the country that have come up to the governmental requirements in the matter of drilling. Of the forty-five military colleges in the United States but twenty-two are accredited at ‘Washington, indicating that the au- thorities have been watching the de- portment of th%e various organizations rather closely. Three of these twenty- two are Pacific Coast colleges—Cali- fornia, Nevada and New Mexico. The acceptance of the University of California more significant than would appear at first sight. It was only a short time ago that the uni- versity fought hard against the pro- posal that the cadets drill three times a week instead of two, besides impos- “ ing other military duties. Besides this the reports of the inspecting officers these last two years have not been very kindly. All of which made peo- | ple think that the position of the uni- versity was a bit shaky at Washing- ton. But now, even in the face of the re- port of Captain J. A. Johnstone, the last inspecting officer, the War De- partment has seen fit to put the Uni- versity of California on the list of col- leges that have fulfilled the require- ments. It is taken by men interested in military affairs as a change of heart in the administration at Washington, at the very least, and by some is con- sidered not flattering to the inspecting officer. The men eligible to appointment as officers in the army, through having achieved the highest rank in the regiment last year, are Robert Sibley, Henry Bronson Dewing and Alan P. Matthew. —— REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 23. — Senator and Mrs. Joseph R. Knowland's 2-year-old son was blown against a wall, render- ed unconscious and severely injured through the explosion of a gas range in the kitchen of the family residence on Everett street Saturday night. That the child escaped instant death is deemea remarkable, as pieces of the stove were hurled all about him and buried themselves in the plastering of the room. ‘When the little fellow was lifted from the floor by his mother he was limp and bleeding from numerous wounds. He is now thought to be out of danger. ‘While there was no one in the kitch- en, the baby toddled up to the range and opened four jets in the oven that were within his reach. The volume of gas that poured forth communicated with & lighted burner on the top of the stove and tha explosion followed. Doors and lids from the range were scattered around with great force and the stove and apartment in which it was located were wreck=d. Occupunts of the house were alarmed by the loud report and went immediately to the assistance of the helpless child. It was some time before the little fellow regained con- sciousness and allayed the fears of his | parents, who thought their son was fa- tally injured. PR Tt PERSONAL MENTION. J. M.

Fred Westphal Leaves to Go to Lunch and Fails to Return. e P8 Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 23. | Eight hundred dollars dsappeared | from the safe in the office of the Bay | City Milling Company, First and Clay | coincident with the disappearance of the money Fred Westphal, a brother of the members of the firm, dropped out of sight and has not yet been located. | | The loss of the money was discovered by George Westphal, the bookkeeper of ! the firm, on his return from lunch, and the theft was immediately reported to | the police. George Westphal was reluctant-to be- | lieve (that his brother had stolen the money, but said that Fred wasithe only one who was in the office alone during the morning. He told the following story of the disappearance of the money: | “My brother is not'a member of the firm, but is employed as a clerk in the office. He generally goes to dinner at 11 o'clock and returns to let me off at| noon. I was not in the office when he left to-day and when he did not return (on time I thought he had been delayed ! at the house and I left the office to g0 | to dinner. | “When I reached the house I found | | that he had not been home to lunch, ibut at the time I did not think any- | thing of it. I returned to the mill and | found that he had not come back, but before 1 had time to try and find out | where he was the loss of the money | was discovered. Of course, Fred's ab- isence was at once connected with the | disappearance of the cash, and as some.- “ thing over 3800 was missing we at once | “I can hardly believe that my brother took the money, but what el8e can we think? He w the only one who was alone in the office this | morning and the money was cer- |tainly in the safe when the office was opened. It could not have been taken during the night, for not only | was the safe locked this morning, but we also have a night watchman in the | mill from the time it is closed at night. | _“I don’t know of any reason that | | Fred could have for stealing the money, |as he was getting a salary of $30 a | week and had no heavier expenses than | any other young man in his position. I 1do not think that he gambled, and 1 {never know from my own knowledge | | that he played the races, but of course | he might have done both and I would | not have known of it. | ““He was always a little wild, more so | than any of the rest of the boys, but 1 | @id not think it possible that he would j ever do a thing like this, and I hate to | believe it now.” Fred Westphal, the missing clerk, is a | son of J. C. Westphal, the senior mem- | ber of the firm of Westphal & Sons, |owners of the Bay City Milling Com- pany. He is about 27 years of age and | for the last two months has resided at | | the family home, 1462 Eighth street. | The young man was recently married and for some time after his marriage he resided at 925 Taylor avenue, in Ala. meda. His wife was with him at the Westphal home.

Had they | only known last night what the detec- tives discovered to-day that Noone's pistol was unloaded Orbell and Fergu- son declare there would have been no | yielding to their assailant’s demands. Noone’s weapon was found this | morning in the rear of the lot at 1133 | Filbert street, where he threw the re- volver after befng brought to bay by | Deputy Sheriff A. B. Moffatt. In | Noone’s possession when he was ar- rested was found $2 60, the exact | amount which was taken from Fergu- | son and Orbell.
