The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Ramm of St. Mary's Cathedral. Elton | Wood officlated as best man and Vina | Burke, a sister of the bride, was mald of honor. The beautiful bride was charmingly gowned in Alice blue. P K. Burke, the father, gave his daugh- ter into the keeping of his new son- in-law and then the merry party ad- journed to the fine residence on Surrey street, a gift of the groom to his young wife. About fifty guests were present at the reception, which was an imposing affalr. Refreshments were served in bountiful quantities at 10 o'clock. The presents were numerous and val- uable.

According to the story of the police Comisky's saloon is being boycotted for some reason or other, and a row be- tween Comisky's bartender and a picket started the affray. AS soon as the first alarm of trouble was given a number of marines on guard at the transport dock hurried to quell the disturbance and soon afterward Sergeant Jesse | Cook and a squad of policemen arrived on the scene. Comisky was charged both with battery and malicious mis- chief, and Robert Kyle, a fireman. was | accused of the same offenses.

The stage management of the Tivoll will from now on be in the hands of George E. Lask. The idea of the man- agement is to give a succession of mu- sical comedies rather different from what has heretcfore been offered to the public. The first comady to be presented of this series will be “The Geisha,” which will be followed by *“The Isle of Spice,” and after that will come “Piff, Paff, Poot."” The retirement of Max Freeman as stage manager is the result of the change in the conduct of the stage.

PNEL Story Begins in Monterey, Trails Over to Japan, Hits Oakland and Ends in Town ROMANCE OF A PICTURE True Tale Going the Rounds of Bohemia, but Sounds Like a Hasheesh Dream BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. A pretty little story is going the rounds of Bohemia, in which C. Chapel Judson— artist, art instructor and charming good tellow—l- the Hershell Mayall of the cast. story is a potpourri of labor, luck, ‘ove death, disappointment, more labor, more luck—and lo! the tale that’s holding the ear of Bohemia. In the early part of 191 Hugh Tevis, art connoisseur, millionaire clubman and esthetic householder, happened across some pictures «f Chapel Judson, liked them mightily, and huntell up the artist. The art patron forthwith disclosed the fact that a very uiZ bare spot—an in- solent, staring, bare spot on the wallspace of his Monterey hacienda—worried him betimes, and would Judson proceed to ob-~ literate—in other words, to decorafe it? And Judson would! Accordingly, he Visited the hacienda, perched high upon the wave-worn cliffs of Monterey, found the offending bare place—which proved to be a panel over a door—took the measurements, and hast- ened back to his studio, to execute his commuission. Meanwhile, Mr. Tevis fell in love, took it into his head to wed, then to sall away to Japan upon a honeymoon. And it was here that the Spectre of Death entered without the formality of a cue. Here it was, in the midst of all his hap- pineds, that the bridegroom was stricken down, and his little girlwife found herseilf a widow In a strange land. Back to California came the little blonde widow and her beloved dead—but the mansion at Monterey knew her not. In fact, she never lived there after her re- turn, and the restless waves sobbed a requiem to a tenantles§ home. And thus did Judson’s commissfon lan- guish and dle, and he never pressed its survival—for artists are weird business men! Away fn a dark corner of his studlo he tucked the mural drawing, and straight- way forgot about {t—after the fashion of artists. Meanwhile he had sent forth many can- vases of beauty, one of which had found its way into the hands of an art-loving tallor in Oakland. Belleving that his customers should share the pleasure of his new picture, the art-loving tailor hung It in his shop. Last week, a customer who had drifted in to have his measure taken, spied the canvas, admired it, hunted up the artist, and the following uuloxue took place be- tween them: “Mr. Judson?” “Yes, sir.”" “Saw a picture of yours over in Oak- jand that I like. Now, I want you to paint something: for me along the same lines. I've got a place in my house that looks bare and bleak, and I want a panel to fill it.” “All right, sir. Glad_ to where' is the panel to g8? “Why, over a doorway.’ “It would be wise, sir, for me to see the room before I could suggest a de- sign. Where is your home? “In Monterey, Mr. Judson. “In Monterey? Why, that's something of a coincidence. I painted a panel four years ago for a Monterey home, ami it, too, was planned to go over a doorway.” “Whose home was it, Mr. Judson?"’ ““The Tevis Haclenda.” “The devil you say! Why, that's the house I want it for. I bought that house two years ago. And it's the same old panel, I'll wager,” And the mural painting that lay voice- less in the dusty corner for forgotten years was brought to light and saluted. And the panel is on its way to Monterey. to be the jest of many a tale in the stone house over the cliff. —_——— LATE H E COMING DISTURBS WORK OF TWO BOLD CROOKS do It But Dr. §. B.

A jury is being impaneled in Judge Lawlor’'s court to try the case of Chil- lion Bowen, charged with murder. Ase sistant District Attorney O'Gara is prosecuting and the defendant is rep- resented by Attorneys Barnes and Mc- Closkey. Ten jurors had been secured when court adjourned last night. Bowen, on the morning of August §, shot and killed W. W. Stephenson in a rooming-house at 1015% Larkin street. Bowen had been intimate with Stephen- son’s wife and when she came here, obtensibly to umdergo an operation, Bowen followed her. Steéphenson had a ranch in Washoe, Nev., and when hs learned that Bowen had also left for this city his suspicions were aroused. Stephenson came to the eity and soon discovered that his wife and Bowen were oceupying a room at 1015% Lar- kin street. His visit was unexpeocted and when he forced in the door Bowen fired at him as he crossed the lhruhold and killed him. Mrs, Bowen did not display any grief at the death of her husband and made no secret of her attachment for Bowen. Her three children were taken care of by their grandfather in Nevada and she has remained here.
