Show !j Witli the exception of the dance at the Fort ; on Tuesday night which took place before the aw ful catastrophe at San Francisco there have been ' no large social affairs to mark tho week locally. I There is scarcely anyone j in society who has i not relatives or friends in the stricken city, and the effect of each succeeding bulletin is so appal-ing appal-ing that scarcely anyone has given a thought to the trivial affairs of society. There are many Salt Lakers, prominent in so-I so-I ciety here, who are now where San Francisco once i stood, but from all accounts, they are safe, ! though they have probably suffered great lossi in personal effects. t j The first Salt Laker to get a wire through was George V. Schramm, a brother of Olem Schramm, who filed a wire t at seven o'clock the first morning morn-ing of the disaster. Then Jim Jennings telegraphed announcing the safety of his mother, his wife, Mrs. L. L. Terry Ter-ry and "himself, and it is thought that by this morning many more will be heard from. Majo.r and Mrs. Downey are visiting Major and Mrs. George Downey and were at the St Dunstan, but they have probably ( found shelter at the Pres- he Trents, the Tarpeys and Miss Alia Miller live far enough out to have escaped all danger. Charlie Lawrence and Albert McCor'nick may have lost their luggage, but as both were at the Palace, they probably experienced (no other difficulties. diffi-culties. The J. S. Aliens, the A. It. Derges, and the Moylan Fox family are in Oakland, Mrs. Bannister Bannis-ter and Miss Emilio Bannister at Berkeley, and among those at Stanford are Bessie Officer, Edith and "Bob" Ellerbeck and young Louis Farnsworth. I The Isaac Trumbos, the James Andersons, and I the W. H. Cunninghams live far enough from the I business districts to have escaped tho first shocks, j though they are probably homeless. I Among tho nowspaper men there are three I Salt Lakers Wally Young, Race Whitney and I Eddie Clark, tbe latter with his wife and family. I Mrs. Olark was formerly Miss Cash of this city. I The Leah Ititers are in San Francisco having I gone for the season of Grand Opera, j The family of E. L. Sheets and his partner I Major Tnompson are In San Francisco. Mr. Sheets, who was on his way here, turned back from Og- I don yesterday. L. L. Terry and Paul Tarpey are I others who have left for the scene, and more are I going on every train. I Judge Sherman's family is at Palo Alto and I the wires have failed to reach them. I The Will Clawsonsand E. W. Wilson are others who have not been heard from, but it is thought that they are safe. E. E. Calvin and family, Ira Rhodes (and family and Harry Roberts, all formerly of Salt Lake, are among others there, and among the visitors may be named J. J. Judson, "Major Hill, George M. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pratt, the Henry Nowells, .M. M. Johnson, J. J. Daly and family and W. B. Grosh. tC The Arthur V. Callaghans hero are probably heavier sufferers than anyone elso in this city. Mr. Callahan left for San Francisco on Thursday, Thurs-day, where his mother was ill at the St. Dunstan at the time of the disaster. Tho family owned the million dollar property at the corner of Market and McAllister, besides numerous business blocks elsewhere, and from the accounts the Callaghan and Van Wyck homes have both been destroyed. The Burns McDonalds who are now in Denver have lost a great amount of property. Nearly all, of their relatives are in San Francisco. & , Walter Stone, who has left Goldfield for the scene of ' desolation, is another heavy loser who has many friends here. 5 Lieut, and Mrs. Easton at the Fort and Miss McLouth, the sister of Mrs. Easton from San Jose, are others who are trying in vain to hear from relatives and friends. Their sister, Mrs. Pedar Bruguiere is in San Francisco, and their home is in San Jose. 6 & & Miss McCornick has returned after spending a pleasant winter in the eastern states. ii 8 J The reception and dance at the Post on Tuesday Tues-day night in honor of the officers and ladies who are about to depart for Wyoming, was the one brilliant event in a springtime forlorn enough for the worst stay-atrhomes in the world. It seems that we must depend on the officers at the Post of late for all of the good dances. And by the way did you see tho belle of the ball, one of the cleverest of the younger matrons at tho Post, in red Jusi, a cloth of the Orient, that was most becoming. More good looking army women should affect it. It ought to be easy for those with husbands in the Philippines where it came from. tJ8 In honor of Mrs. Charles Spencer Mann, Mrs. Don Porter and Mrs. Sam Porter entertained at cards on Wednesday afternoon. i Wednesday was surely a day of weddings. All were rather quietly celebrated, but none the less interesting. i The wedding of Miss Polly Wakeling and Percy Per-cy V. Molson took place In the evening at St. Mark's cathedral, Rev. Alfred Brown officiating. those of Miss Josephine Wells and D. Douglas Moffat, and Miss Grace Radcliff and Clifton S. Young. & & & Mrs. F. J. Fabian is entertaining at a series of bridge teas. Col.

P. Kisers in honor of Miss Wakeling and Mr. Molson. & Jjt & TheFnnlc Judges have returned from California Cali-fornia and are at the Judge home on East South Temple street & & & Miss iLaura Sherman entertains on Monday in "honor of Mrs. Charles S.
