We think of nourishment as food—meats, soups, vege- ables, etc, but that’sonly half. It's not the food alone that counts but the good that we | get from food that furnishes nourishment. A pound of steak is of less value to a weak stomach than a crust of bread is to a strong digestion. But weak stomachs can be made strong. Begin by eat- ing less; have regular hours for meals; avoid fancy things and about a half hour after eathhg take a tablespoonful of Scott’s Emulsien. It's afact of medical history that people have lived on not much else but Scott’s Emulsion for a long time—not only lived but gained flesh and recovered their strength and health. From the pure Norwegian cod liver oil to the last drop of glycerine, Scott’s Emulsion contains just the ctlen&fh- giving and health-bui elemect;tks needed fo:gw vi : ity, weak digestion and poorly m)mxishedbodiu.

The election”held to-day is the most important in the life of the organization and nearly every member of the union, numbering over 800 members, polled his vote. The rooms of the union in Gler's Hall on Fourteenth street, near Washing- {ton, have been crowded since 9 ©’clock | this morning, and ‘at 10 o'clock to-night the articles of agreement were being rc- peated for the benefit of those who were | unable to gather there earlier. The result of the election ig not to bé ! announced for some days, but it is taken |as a foregone conclusion that the arti- cles have been carried by an overwhelm- ing vote, as the general feeling seems to favor them. So far the union has been working without any written understand- ing with the company and the purpose of the present election is to get the rela- tions of the men and the company stated in a written agreement. { NO TROUBLE EXPECTED. | When the agreement is adopted it will, be sent on to Detroit, the headquarters of the international association, to be rat- ! ified, and will then be returned and pre- | sented to the company for consideration, | and will form the basis of a general un- | derstanding to be arrived at. The pres- ent conditions here are radically different | from those in San Francisco, and it is expected that when the agreement is pre- sented to the company it will need very nice manipulation to gain the major.por- tion of the dernands. . The agreement voted upon to-day con- tains twenty-seven clauses and takes up the matter of hours of work and the price to be paid, the question of appren- ticeship and the pay of extra men, cover- ing every detail of the street car service. FEATURES OF ARTICLES. | A raise in the wages of several | branches of the.work is provided for.

OAKLAND, Jan. 81.—The union of two young people, with a whole worid of joy be- fore them, is ever a theme of poetic interest, but when the principals have not only youth but an abuddance of this world's goods the glamour of gold s added to. the picture of consummate happiness. So it is that the wed- ding of Miss Ethel Crellin and Whipple Hall, members of two of Oakiand's - oidest and most respected families, has been of paramount interest In the social set ever since prepara- tions for the event began. At 8:30 o clock this evening Miss Crellin gave her heart and happiness into the keeping of the man of her | choice at the beautiiui Crellin home on Alice street. Neither expense nor pains had been spared in beautifying the loity apartments and the scene rivaled fairyland. In the drawing- room, where Miss Laura Crellin was marricd to Robert M. Pitzgerald a year or two ago, a trellised bower sheltered the lovers to-night —& bower of featbery ferns and fmy white tulle, as dainty as the bride herself.

Fitz- gerald, was almost as charming as on the night of her own nuptials in a gown of white chiffon cloth and the trio of bridesmaids— Misses Charlotte Hail, the groom's sister, Bes- sie Reed and Catherine Allen—in satin mes- saline robes of pale green and carrying arm- fuls of Encrantress carnations, formed a charming foil for the bride's pale radlance. Channing Hall attended his brother, while Stanley Crellin, Philip Wadsworth, Stanley Moore, Walter Barnheisel and Seymour Mont- gomery formed with ribbons the aisie through which the bridal party passed. Rev. St. Jobn Scoit officiated, An elaborate supper followed the ceremony and reception and the bride’s table was in the dininz-room, where masses of fruit blos- soms gave a delicious bit of coior to the scene. At the favored tabie with the bridal ‘party were Miss Goodfellow, Miss Coogan, Miss Palmanteer, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Goodfellow and R. M. Fitzgerald. To-night's bride 1s a daughter of Thomas Crellin, the well-known capitalist, and the groom is a son of Judge Samuel B. Hall, an eminent jurist and Judge of the District Court of Appeals. Both families are prominent in the local smart set, entertalning a great deal and participating actively in the leading social events. Although the list of guests was limited to relatives and the closest friends, over one hundred were present at the ceremony this evening.
