There | is no doubt in my mind as to the identity of the couple, and 1 know that they were both on board.” The Terminal Committee Talks. | In an open communication yesterday the | members of the Oakland terminal commit- | tee express their views quite freely in re- | gard to the stand taken by some citizens who are anxious to have the Oakland sub- scriptions made to the new road without restrictions. Ihey say the word ‘“‘Restriction’ is not justly applicable to the plan of the termi- nal committee. Suppose we say ‘“‘Any- where in Oakland.” These words mean nothing to an and proposition. “A pier could leave the shore at Berkeley or opposite Temescal and, extending south- wester! be within Oakland, out in the water five and a half miles off shore. “No property-owner or business man in this city could be expected to subscribe to that as an Oakland proposition. Or a road might come to Oakland at the southwest corner, that would be over at Park avenue, between East Oakland and Alameda. It would cross thence southwesterly and then down on the Alameda point, on either side of it, and thence into the bay, being in 10 sensefan Oakland terminus. “If the words ‘above ordinary tide’ be | added, the danger to the southeast still ex- ists, and the subscription could be claimed onthe Alameda terminus, and toward the northwest a railroad and pier could termi- nate its landing in reaching the navigable water at the point at least five miles from the business portion of Oakland, without coming nearer than three miles of the business center, contributing a minimum | Oakland benefit, yet earning the subscrip- tion of the business and property interest of the city.” A Lawyer’s Strange Will. The will of the late pioneer, Alfred Bar- stow was filled for probate yesterday by Mary R. Barstow, his widow. The estate is valued at $20,000, and Mary Barstow is named as executrix. he instrument, which is in the hand- writing of the deceased, is one of the most unique wills that has ever been filed in the County Clerk’s office. It reads as follows: ed Barstow, of the city of Oakland, of Alameds and State of California, do make and decree this to be my last will and testament, and I hereby revoke all wills by me heretofore made. 1 desire my estate to be distributed in ae- cordance with the laws of the State of Cali- fornia. 1 desire my widow to be. executrix of this will, and that no bond be required of her in any proceedings growing out of her trust, I authorize and empower her to sell any and all real and personal property belonging to my state at private or public sale, without the or- der of any court or tribunal, and that she have as full and free right of disposition thereof as though the title of all said property vested in her, and my only object in making this will is 1o facilitate the settlement of my estate. I think that no man should have the power to go further than this. 1 do notbelieve the dead should meddle with the quick. When a person is once comfortably laid awsy, let him cease from trouble, and let the living carry on the business of life. Very probably the dead one will have all he can attend to if the “re- ligious doctors™ are half rightas to the “truths” they hand out. dated and This will is entirely written, signed by my own hand at the city and county rancisco, in the State of California, on n 13th day of June, 1890. ALFRED BARSTOW. Congress Women in Oakland. The Oakland branch of the Woman's Congress Association will meet on Wednes- day, March 20, at 2 P. M.in the parlors | of the Presbyterian church, corner of I Fourteenth and Franklin streets. The president of the General Congress, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, and other members of the executive board will be present and will present the plan of the coming Con- gress, to be held in San Francisco the third week in May. ‘o Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Arrangements have been made by the various Catholic societies to celebrate St. Patrick’s day with appropriate services in the Oakland churches morning and even- mg. - At Rey. Father McNally’s. church at West Oakland mass will be sung at 5:30, of this 7:30, 9 and 10:30 A. M, The 10:30 mass will be solemn high mass, with four priests officiating. At 7:30 o’clock in the evening Rev. Father Hogan of San Rafael will deliver a lecture on *‘The Irish Race, Its Principles and Prac o There will be an augmented choir at all the services. Five young Irish priests, on their return trip to Ireland from their Aus. tralian mission, will remain _in Oakland as the - guests of Father McNally and will assist in the day’s celebration. The lecture in the evening will be free, but the pastor will take up a collection. An Attractive Play. To-morrow evening, the 18th inst., Hoyt’s “A Temperance Town’’ will com- mence an engagement of three nights at the Macdonough. All indications point to cked houses, for the advance sale is arge. But why not? Hoyt’s attractions have always scored a success in Oakland, | even in the old days when the town could not boast a first-class playhouse. “A Temperance Town’ is a play full of pathos, homelike scenes intermingling with funny sayings and sisuations. Popular prices, 25 cents to $1. Attractions to follow this production are: The Whitney Opera Company in the ro- mantic_comic_opera “The Fencing Mas- ter,”” which will run three nights, with a matinee. Then will come Marie Bur- roughs in her repertoire, to be followed by Emily Bancker in her successful comedy “Qur Flat. Bondholders Will Buy. The property of the Piedmont Consoli- | dated Cable Company that was placed in the hands of a receiver two years ago will be sold next Tuesday by the commissioner i by the court, and will in all y be bid in by the bondholders of the road, who have organized for that pur- pose. There are other street railway com- panies in Oaxland who would like to get possession of this property, knowing full well the value of the plant, but their estimate is so much lower than that held by the bondholders that it” is likely they will have the bidding all to themselves. It is the intention of the bondholders of the road if they are successful in purchas- ing the property to effect a thorough reor- ganization and then make an electric road of that portion going over the hills. Will Take Her to Friends. In Henry Wilkenson, the Los Angeles restaurant-keeper, Mrs. W. J. Dean, the wife of the counterfeiter now awaiting trial, has a friend worthy the name. As soon as Mr. Wilkenson heard of the arrest of his former cashier he hastened to arrange his business so that he could come to Oakland to effect Mrs. Dean’s release. and although willing friends had saved him this trouble the worthy gentleman will try to induce Mrs. Dean to return with him to the southern part of the State, where friends of the old days will make an effort to lighten the burden of the unfor- tunate woman whose life has been blighted by a scoundrel. Kellogg Again on Deck. Detective George H. Kellogg had the charge of drunkenness and assault against him wiped out yesterday by Judge Wood and is again on deck with the railroa company. In his summing up of the charges brought by the Chief of Police against Kel- logg Judge Wood had little to say. He Simply dismissed the case for want of evi- ence. There Will Be No Contest. Dr. H. B. Mehrmann, the defeated can- didate for Councilman from the; Second Ward, has denied that he will contest the election of C. K. Marshall. It was reported that there would he a contest on the ground of alleged irregulari- ties in the count of the Second and Fourth precincts of the Second Ward. Look Out for War. There will be a meeting of the Oakland insurance agents held Monday night to take steps toward forming a permanent organization, and if the plan fails it is | more than likely that a rate war will be inaugurated Tuesday among the local agents. ALAMEDA. Herman H. Schrader, the painter and decorator, who some months ago carried on a business at 1424 Park street and went into insolven has been blocked from getting his final discharge. His former partner, W. W. Fowler, and one of his creditors, has filed an affidavit in the Superior Court setting forth charges on hich he demands an investigation of the insolvent’s affairs. When Schrader filed his schedule last October he represented his assets to be $1135 and his liabilities $3018, including a note of $400 due Fowler as part payment on the latter’s interest in the firm, and as an offset against him a note of $250, which he had indorsed upon the security o another note, indorsed in turn by I. N Chapman. : Fowler's charges are to the effect that Schrader fraudulently disposed of a lot of property before filing his petition in insol- vency, and further falsified the accounts of his business and neglected to keep proper records of the affairs of the firm. The matter of granting the final discharge will come up to-morrow. Ten Petitions Filed. To-morrow will be the last day under the law for candidates to file their nominating petitions with the City Clerk to make cer- tain that their names will appear on the ballots. Ten petitions had been filed up to yesterday, including that of the Good Government Club. gI‘he vacancy in the executive committee of the Good Govern- ment Club, caused by the resignation of J. H. Bruns, has been filied by the appoint- ment of ¥. E. Jenkins of 2105 Santa Clara avenue. Objects to the Principle. Trustee D. L. Randolph is not in favor of the proposition of the city paying $80 per month for a Solice officer to have charge of the speed track. He has de- clared his intention of introducing a reso- lution to-morrow evening to revoke the appointment made in his absence Monday night. He insists that the owners of fast horses should pay for the maintenance of the track. Erecting a Grand Stand. Improvements are being made daily to the boulevard speed track. Contractor Zingg received an invoice of lumber yes- terday for the erection of a grand stand. The stand when completed will hold robably 1000 people. The location se- ected is on the south side of the track, about a quarter of a mile from the Grand- street entrance. New System of Air Appliances. For the pastfew days trains have been late on the narrow-gauge locals on account of the new airbrake appliances that are be- ing put on the division. Formerly the cars were operated by what is known as straight air.”” The new system is a big improvement and is readily observed by passengers. It is the Westinghouse sys- tem. Not a Candidate. John T. Fleming was presented with a petition a few days ago, asking him to stand for the city attorneyshiv at the coming election. “Attorney Fleming has fully considered the matter and has deter- mined not to enter the field. Only One Demand. The only demand against the fire relief fund for the past i“r was one for $30 in favor of J. Schick, who was injured in a fire on St. Patrick’s daiy, 1894. ‘There is a bal- ance in the fund of $1366 49. BERKELEY, The residents on S8an Pablo avenue, near University avenue, were thrown into a state of excitement late last evening by the appearance of a nude woman on that thoroughfare, screaming and wildly gesticu- lating. The woman was Mrs. Johanna McEboy, who lives at the corner of Allston way and Union street. She is in the habit of going on periodical sprees, and it is thought that liquor has unbalanced her mind. Her husband died several years ago and left three small children ‘in her care. The neighbors say she often beats the little ones and does not give them sufficient food, al- though she possesses considerable property 1 this city. Indignant Ladies. There is a gnashing of teeth among certain ladies in this city over the announcement that women are not eligible to the position of School Directors, to which several of them have been aspiring. The new charter, which goes into effect next May, provides that only *qualified electors” or ‘‘voters” are eligible to the elective or appointive offices of this town. Another section of the town law provides that every official must be a resident of the town for three years before the election. These sections will keep carpet-baggers out of office, but the ladies say it will also render them ineligible. They do not place the blame on the shoulders of the Free- holders, as they think it was quite unin- tentional. Yesterday one of them was heard to remark, “This mistake will keep ladies out of office three years after they have been granted the elective franchise by the Legislature.” Trouble in the Football Team. For the past two months trouble has been brewing in the football team of the University. ~Shortly after the Thanksgiv- ing game’ Captain Benson was re-elected, but, being compeiled to leave college, re- signed just before the Christmas vacation. Eddie Sherman was elected by a vote of 6 to 5 to fill the vacancy. His rival haskept the affair stirred up ever since, and this week made a strong attempt to depose him. Rumor has it that he has decided on a new })Ian of action and that he will not stop till he is captain. Notes. The residents of South Berkeley are n?lmlmg the question of securing a supply of water for fire protection. The finest game of baseball ever played on the university campus was played yes- terday afternoon between the University Club and Olympic teams. The latter won by a score of 2 to 3, after the college boys had the game shelved three different times. The university made seven base hits and four errors, while their opponent made eight base hits and three errors. BARBERS WANT HALF A DAY. REASONS GIVEN FOR THE GOV- ERNOR SIGNING SENATE BILL 627. AN ALLEGED ERRONEOUS IM- PRESSION REGARDING ITS PRrovisions. Apparently some doubt exists as to the exact terms of Senate bill 627 in favor of closing barber-shops at noon on Sundays and legal holidays. W. G. Seppich of Seppich & Kleinhans, barbers, 217 Montgomery street, in speak- ing of the matter yesterday said: “A morning paper advises the Governor to veto this bill because it includes em- ployes of bathhouses in its scope. This is not the case as we understand the bill. The law reads as follows: Every person who as proprietor, manager, lessee, employe or agent keeps opén or con: ducts, or causes to be kept open or conducted, any barber-shop, bath-house and barber-shop (barber-shop of a bathing establishment), or hair-dressing establishment (or any place for shaving or hairdressing, used or conducted, or in connection with any other place of busi- ness or resort), who engages in work or labor (as a barber)in any such shop or establish- ment on Sunday, or on a legal holiday, after the hour of 12 o’clock . of said day, is” guilty of & misdemeanor. “T, as the President of the Barbers' Pro- tective Union, and also as proprietor of the Russ House Baths, claim that the law 1s meant and should be construed to read as relating to barbers only. I had the law drawn up by request of my fellow-barbers, who number about 5000 in this State. Our etition, as forwarded to the Legislature, has been signed by barbers from the entire State and not one protest has been heard. “‘Any one accepting the assertion of the Sacramento correspondent might conclude that the provisions of the bill were, in- tended to close bathhouses on Sufday afternoons. A hasty reading of the bill might give color to this idea, but careful perusal will show, as 1 have said, that the provisions relate to barbers only. “I hope that through the mu}ium of the CaLL any erroneous impression may be corrected. That this bill may become a law is desired by all married barbers. By its means only can they hope to secure half a day of rest on Sunday to spend in their family circle.” A NEW IBISH SOCIETY. It Will Be Known as the True Sons of Ireland. A call having been issued some months ago for the organization of a grand Irish- American society, to be known as the True Sons of Ireland, the following gentlemen assembled at the Palace Hotel last even- ing, one representing each county of Ire- land, as follow: Matthew J. O'Neill, County _Antrim; Thomas L. Conall, Armagh; Peter Molloy, Car. low; Edward Riley, ~Cavan; Thomas J. O’'Brien, Clare; Jeremiah O’Sullivan, Cork: John M. Neall, Donegal; Bernard Cur- ran, Down; P. A. Finnigan, Dublin; P. A. Dolan, Fermanagh: Patrick Joyce, Gal- way; William O’Leary, Kerry; Daniel Fitzger- ald, Kildare; Robert Emmett, Kilkenny; Frank Carroll, Kings County; D. P. Dolan, County Leitrim; Frank Noonan, Limerick; John O’Kane, Londonderry; James B.O'Far- rell, Longford; FPeter McDonald, Louth; Charles l'loufheny, County Mayo; Daniel Grif- fin, Meath: Joseph Devlin, Monaghan; Michael Cassidy, Queens; Flynn, Roscommon ; James " Maguire, Sligo; Thomas Keough, Tip- {)g:nry; James E. Burns, Tyrone; Peter Kelly, Waterford; Patrick Mullen, West Meath: Charles H. Murphy, Wexford; J. W. 0'Toole, Wicklow. The followin elected: P. A, livan, secretary. In calling the meeting to order, P. A. Dolan made a few remarks, in which he outlined some of the objects, saying: Far from the green hills of Erin, We meet in love to-day, Some of the scattered ‘“True sons of Ireland,"” With spirits warm and gay. Why do we meet? D'ts o repeat Our vows, both night and da; To dear old Treland ! Brave old Ircland far away! _He said, further, that it was the inten- tion to organize by the election of a board of directors, one to represent each county in Ireland, there being thirty.two. At present there are three or four counties represented with local county organiza- tions in this city, which will not be affected by this organization. It will be perma- nently organized on a_grand scale as sev- eral other national societies are at present. It was decided to keep the charter open for at least sixty days. The following com- mittee was appointed on headquarters: Thomas Keough, Edward Riley and P. J. Flynn.” The meeting then adjourned, to meet on Saturday evening mnext at 632 Market street. T P T T T T DAVID LORING’S LAST OONCERT. Eduard Remenyi Will Also Bid Fare- well to This City. Eduard Remenyi, the great Hungarian violin virtuoso, will give a farewell concert in this city on Wednesday, April 3, upon which occasion he will be assisted by a number of distinguished musical artists, among them being Miss Pauline Stein, a charming soprano singer, and the eminent young pianist, Henry Eames. Miss Stein i sai§ to takea hi% rank among concert singers, and Henry Eames comes heralded from the East as a skillful r};layer. The sale of seats will be announced later. An especial interest attaches to the Loring Cflib concert, which takes place at 0dd Fellows’ Hall on Thursday, March 28, as it is probably the last concert which will be given under David Loring’s con- ductorship. It has been given at an ear- lier date than was at first intended, in or- der that Mr. Loring might lead, previous to his departure for Japan. W temporary officers were olan, chairman; J. 0’Sul- Tretand, AN ANGIENT T AVALON, Santa Catalina, March 14.— For many years the island of Santa Cata- lina has been known to be the burying- ground of a lost or forgotten race of na- tives, and the old Spanish records have been examined and studied in the hope that something might be found that would throw light upon the question. Recently a report has gained favor that some of the old idols and other objects possessed by N\ }vhich has an opening, there is a blind ead. Some time ago some goat-hunters from the East were enjoying this sport on the island and had penetrated the country to the north of Little Harbor when they dis- covered an interesting cave on the borders of a little stream. This showed undoubted evidence of having been used by the ancients. The floor was covered with a deep black soil in which abalone shells had been ground up, and near by great masses of these shells were found where they had been left by the native occupants. The top of this cave was originally open and had been covered by a number of flat rocks, which had been overthrown in some THE ABANDONED CAVERN. the natives were buried or concealed in a cave somewhere on the coast. That this theory may have some foundation in fact is proven by the discovery recently of some singular caves. While the workmen on a road were cutting into the bank of the cliff that fronts the beach at Avalon they came upon a cave over 100 feet in length. It was carefully cut into the disintegrating rock and braced with timbers that showed every evidence of age. But there was nothing in the cave except some rude im- way so that they had tumbled down into the interior. Digging into the flooring of | the cave the sportsmen found several | curious implements suggestive of the | ancients. re_were stome mortars and | pestles, flat grinding stones worn smooth | as th could be made by long years of grinding, and various small objects in { pearly abalone, evidently the ornaments of | the natives. In one of the small mortars | were hundreds of beads, each laboriously | cut from a little shell found on the beach. Perhaps the most interesting objects dis- covered here were those made of soapstone. SECTION OF AN OLD OLLA MAN UFACTORY. plements of the nature of scrapers or knives. Not a mile away another cave was found, entering a high cliff just above the level of the sea, and twelve miles from Avalon is still another, and the largest, that is ac- cessible only by boats. This appears from the sea to be ‘a simple depression in the face of the cliff, but once in it a passage is seen leading away for 100 feet, through which a boat can {;e pushed if the sea is calm. Half way through this branch, They were paint-pots, sinkers, flat-shaped slabs, some ornamented with carvings of fish and various objects, oval stones, with | a perforation or hole bored in the center, | probably used in some game. Similar ob- ILects have been found on the mainland, | but where the guarry was that the natives | drew upon was a mystery until it was | finally located at Santa Catalina, about | midwafl u}) the island, on the shore side. | Here, half way ugathe mountain, stands | the old quarry that was worked by the PASSAGE. natives from time immemorial. It was undoubtedly suddenly deserted, as when found it had the appearance of having been left by the workers who dropped their tools never to return. ¥ On the ledge to-day are innumerable marks showing how they cut out the great bowls with their flint chip tools. There were piles of broken bowls or ollas; others whole and complete, heaps of refuse taken from the pits, quantities of quartz and slate knives which the workers used, broken and thrown aside. P Here were made carvings—bits of stone carved with rude representations of whales, seals and fish, rude boats, oval objects used in games, and slabs that when heated were placed upon the body as a cure for various troubles. But the finest objects were large mortars of steatite, often three feet high,of elegant shapes, showing that the natives had more than ordinary artistic taste. These great stone vessels have been found all over Southern California, from San Luis to San Diego, and far up in the mountains; yet all were made at this island quarry and carried to the mainland in canoes several hundred years ago where they were traded for skins and various articles not to be ob- tained on the islands. S It is estimated that fifty tons of antiqui- ties have been taken so far from the island of Santa Catalina from the twenty or more townsites that have been located by col- lectors. Excavating is still carried on and doubtless more interesting material will be found. PiscaTor. ON THE COMSTOCK LODE. Reports of the Superintendents of the Various Mines.

The cost of Solomon’s temple and its interior ~decorations and other para- phernalia was one of the wonders of olden times. According to Villalpan- dus, the ‘“talents” of gold, silver and brass used in its construction were val- ued at the enormous sum of £6,879,822,000. The worth of the jewels is generally placed at a figure equally as high. The vessels of gold, according to Jose- phus, were valued at 140,000 talents,which, reduced to federal money, was equal to $2,876,481,015. The vessels of silver, ac- cording to the same authorities, were still more valuable, being set down as worth $3,246,720,000. Priests’ vestments and robes of singers, $10,050,000; trumpets, $1,000,000 To the above add the expense of building materials, labor, etc., and we get some wonderful figures.

LA GRIPPE AGAIN A Few Plain Words About the Cause and Effects of the Disease, TheLowest Rate and Best Treatment Known to Science at the Copeland Medical Institute—$5 a Month, Medicines Included. The dreaded La Grippe, which has again ‘made its appearance on this coast,is nothing more nor less than a ‘‘catarrhal fever.” It by no means a new trouble and belongs di tinetly to that famity of diseases which Drs. Copeland and Neal have won distinction by so successfully treating. 1t differs from the more typical cases of ca- tarrh in that the marked nervous depression which prevails is out of proportion to the grav- ity of the catarrhal symptoms.

There is no question but thatat a season of the vear, when La Grippe is known to be prevalent, People should be more careful than ever to check the progress of catarrhal trouble and, if possible, eradicate from the system every symp- tom of catarrhal poisoning. g Those who suffered last winter from La Grippe for the second or third time were invariably the worst sufferers. 1 many of these people had, last autumn, thoroughly removed from their systems the catarrhal conditions in which the first attack of La Grippe had left them much suffering might have beenavoided.
