MARRIED TO ONE OF THE ARGUELLOS
Dr. Fisher (FISCHER) of San Jose Takes for His Bride a Member of the Old
Spanish Family hand written date 1899

Miss Margaret Florence ARGUELLO and Dr. L. W. FISCHER were married on Thursday, June 15th at Santa Clara, at the old ARGUELLO homestead, by the Rev. Father RAGGIO of Santa Clara College. Owing to the recent death of the bride's father the wedding was very quiet, only the relatives of the family being present. Miss ARGUELLO is a member of one of the most prominent Spanish families in California. Her great-grandfather was the eighth Governor of California under the Spanish rule in 1810 and her grandfather the first Governor of California under the Mexican rule in 1830. The bride was beautifully attired in a white satin gown, trimmed with pearls from Lower California. The maids of honor were Miss Louisa L. GEORGE and Jennie FISCHER. The groom was attended by George LOWREY and James S. ARGUELLO. Dr. FISCHER is a prominent dentist of San Jose, where he has practiced for many years and is a son of William FISCHER, a wealthy retired merchant of Santa Clara valley. Dr. FISCHER and wife will leave next week for an extended trip to Europe. On their return from abroad they will reside in Baltimore, Md.

ANDREW L. KINC (KING) PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY
He Was a Pioneer Farmer and Orchardist of the Valley.
King Road Was Named After Him--Was the Father of Ex-Justice King.

Andrew L. King, a pioneer of Santa Clara county, died yesterday morning, aged eighty years. He had been in failing health for over a year and his death was therefore not unexpected. The funeral will take place at 3 p. m. to-day from the residence of George W. LEE, northwest corner of Eleventh and Empire streets. Mr. King was a native of Virginia and of the old colonial stock. His grandfather was on the staff of General WASHINGTON and fought with that eminent commander throughout the revolutionary war. After having completed his education Mr. KING studied law and was admitted to the bar. After a short practice he gave up the profession as not suited to his inclinations and went into trade. After several years of merchandizing (sic) in Tennessee, he started for California, across the plains, as Captain of a large band of gold-seekers, arriving in San Francisco in 1849. A few years later he was married in San Jose and purchasing one hundred acres of land near East San Jose settled down to the life of a farmer. The KING road, which was opened in the seventies, was named after him. Financial misfortunes met him in his later years and his ranch went out of his hands a few years ago through
foreclosure proceedings. Deceased was a widower and the following children are left to mourn his loss: Ex-Justice of the Peace Joseph R. KING, Idaho Falls, Idaho; Mrs. Zoe CHAPMAN, Louis and Albert KING, San Jose; Mrs. Dora CURETON, Lewiston, Idaho, and Mrs. Effie OPPENHEIMER, Sacramento.

W. C. MORROW
[Hand-written date: 8-8-1889]
A Neat and Deserved Compliment By the Oakland "Tribune."

The Oakland Tribune says: "W. C. Morrow, who is well known among newspaper men of this State as one of the most accomplished of their number, is spending a few days in this city, where he formerly resided when he was connected with The Tribune. Mr. Morrow has dispsed of his interest in the San Jose HERALD and will probably go to New York, where there is a better field for his peculiar ability as a writer of short stories. In this line of work he displays literary ability of a high order and a vast amount of scientific knowledge. His great abilities will doubtless win for him great success in his new field of labor."

ALUM ROCK PARK.
[Hand-written: 8-10-1889]
Messrs. Goodrich and Smith's Proposition.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS.
They do Not Want a Lease for Speculative Purposes--Their Objects Briefly Stated.

EDITOR HERALD: On the 26th of July we made application to the Mayor and Common Council for a lease of Alum Rock. Owing to the absence from the city of one of the committee to which our petition was referred we have been unable to get our enterprise fully before the Councilmen and the public. As a counter proposition ha since been filed with the Council we desire to touch as little more fully upon our proposed improvement of the reservation.
As was well understood by the many prominent gentlemen who endorsed us, our enterprise involves the expenditure on the park of much more than $10,000. That sum we bind ourselves to expend on permanent improvements on the grounds alone. This money we propose to have used to clean out the creek bed, develop the mineral springs, make drives and walks, destroy poison oak, build bridges and establish picnec grounds. We propose to further expend a larger sum in erecting a fine swimming bath and a pavilion and in establishing a hotel where transient guests who desire to remain for the benefit of the waters may do so without taking the custom permanently from hotels in which the money of citizens is embarked.
We apply for this lease for ourselves and not for speculative purposes, nor to buoy up or float any twin enterprise. In our petition we have clearly stated that we desire to abolish, the sale of all intoxicating liquors in the park and make it in every particular such a place of resort any lady in San Jose may visit with children. We notice that the other petioners carefully avoid making any such condition. It is not even referred to. Why should the city make this corporation of Omaha speculators a present of the city park for purely hotel and saloon purposes?
E. B. Goodrich,
T. O. Smith.
San Jose, August, 10th.

CURIOUS CONTRASTS

A New England Home of Puritan Days
A.D. 1620 and A.D. 1889
(hand-written date: 2-17-1889)

A Scrap of Ancient History in a Nineteenth Century Store Window

ANGEVINE'S Enterprise

Ancient and Modern ideas and customs occasionally fall into juxtaposition and afford strange contrasts. The last book of Mark Twain locates a live Yankee of the 19th century back in the time of King Arthur, and in the contrats (sic) is the wit of it. At 34 South First street, in this city, a show-window presented just such a contrast as we speak of to hundreds who passed and smiled and enjoyed it last evening. It represented the interior of the family room of a New England home of two hundred years ago. There in the center is the old-fashioned large fireplace. On the mantel were the old candlesticks and other articles which would not harmonize with the elegant artistic mantel of a modern house, but which give the home-like air to this room. Above the mantel is a magnificent painting, 4X6 feet, painted by H.R. ANGEVINE, representing the landing of the Pilgrims in dead of winter, 1620. In the corner of the fire-place sat the shovel and tongs, which identical things came over in the Mayflower. On the right sat a spinning-wheel, one of the old, small kind, the like of which few who looked at this ever saw before. It is represented to be, and we doubt not is, 200 years old. Near by sat granny in a little, low old chair that looks like it might have come to granny from her grandmother. It has a history and is an heir-loom. The contrast is effected by draping the mantel-piece with some of the latest importations of gents' suitings and throwing over the whole the magnificent electric light. This is really a picture worth looking on, and it shows the artistic taste of the AUGEVINES to good advantage. The same taste and skill they carry into their business, and the result is that they are controlling the fine tailoring of this city and the whole country round about.
