No bids having been received the clerk was ordered to advertise further. University. The university has received a communi- cation from Edward S. Holden giving the reason why instruction in astronomy is not being given to the undergraduate stu- dents in the. colleg Berkeley. The plan of giving instruction at Berkeley was advocated by him in 1887, and the reason why it did not prevail was because Presi- dent Davis did not think the plan wise. A statement as to the cost of maintain- ing the observatory at Mount Hamilton , compared with the expenses of keeping u the observatories of Greenwich, Harvar College and Paris shows that they require { about $30,000 more annually than the Lick. | A statement covering the work done by the department outside the mere instruc- tion shows that within the last seven years 40,000 visitors have been .received, many lectures have been given before general audiences, eight books have been published | and distributed from the observatory and L 70 communications have been made to scientific journals and magazines. Professor Holden thought that if any change was to be made by the regents with regard to giving lectures in Berkeley | it should be so made as to interfere as little as possible with their work at the ob- servatory. Enthusiastic Athletic Meeting. At no time in years has college spirit run s0 high or so much interest been shown in “p\\ref college affairs as was displayed at the athletic meeting yesterday afternoon. The purpose of the meeting was to devise ways and means for sending an athletic team East to compete with Pennsylvania, \'nl[fl, Harvard snd Princeton in track athleties.

The expected legal battle between the | executors of the estate of Morris Goldber and Dr. Dudley Tait of San Francisco did not take place yesterday as per schedule, ough a score of physicians were on hand ed as experts to testify to the value of ces rendered in tem porarily prolong- ing the life of an old and wealthy man. Goldberg lived alone in his house at hland Park and some months ago was taken ill with a disease of the stomach which precluded the retention of food, and he was threatened with death by slow | stdrvation until Dr. Tait was called’in and | verformed an operation which enabled him | to pump food into the stomach. By this means he was able to keep Greenberg alive for 35 days. On the death of his patient he sent in a bill for $9200, or $265 per day for the period during which he was in at- tendance. The executors held that the bill wes ex- orbitant. They will produce testimony to that effect, while the doctor’s witnesses will testify that the services were well worth the price charged. Death in the Cellar. John H. Behrens, who has been em- ployed as a bartender at Henry Priggi’s saloon, on East street, San_ Francisco, for some time, committed suicide on Sunday or Monday at his residence, 1266 Center | street. He left his home on Sunday as| usual to 2o to work, and when he did not return on Sunday night ‘his wife supposed he had gone on one of his periodical sprees and would turn up all right in the course of time. Yesterday morning ehe had oc- casiou to go into the cellar of the house and was horrified to find her husband’s dead | body stretched out on the floor. A paper labeled strychnine, which was found in one of his pockets, explained the means he had taken to end his life. His wife can give no reason for his desire for death except that he may have become de- spondent over imaginary troubles, con- jured up by drink. Behrens'was a German, 34 years of age, and leaves a wife and child. L. M. Beaudry Is Dead. Death came to L. M. Beaudry, a pioneer merchant of Oakland, yesterday morning. He had been suffering from the grip for several days past, and while his family had hoped for his ultimate recovery the dis- ease had made such rapid strides during the past few days that the end was not entirely unexpected. The deceased came to California in 1853, engaging in mining in Placer County for one year, after which he came to this cit; and engaged in the livery business. Wit the exception of two short periods when he was employed in farming at Golden Gate he was in business in Oakland ever since. Mr. Beaudry was quite wealthy hisfortune being estimated at from $200, to $250,000. At the time of his death he was a mem- ber of the firm of Beaudry & McAvoy, un- dertakers. He leaves a wife and four chil- dren to mourn his death. After the Water Company. Mayor Pardee, before he goes out of office, pn'?‘?oses to find out whether the Oakland Water Company intends to obey Jaws of the land just as private individuals are required to do. In 1881 the Legislature passed a law re- quiring water companies to file a state- ment of their assets and resources with the legislative bodies of the districts in which { was organized some years ago at the Uni- versity of Virginia. There are only three chapters in the fraternity, the one at Berke- ley being the only one west of the Rockies. There are two national fraternities by the name of Kap%a Alpba, but this one is known as the ‘‘Southern Fraternity,” hav- ing been founded in Virginia. The new chapter has taken a hall on Bancroit way, near Audubon street. This makes the third fraternity organized in Berkeley since the beginning of the fall term. ALAMEDA. A petition is being circulated among the German residents of the city and those in- terested in the study of the German lan- guage requesting the trustees of the li- brary to place the works of standard au- thors in the German language on the chelves of the public library. It issaid that if the petition is recognized quite an accession to the shelves may result from donations. Stealing Beer. Valentine Humphrey and Willigm Band have been arrested on a charge of stealing beer from the Germania Hall. Band was employed as a janitor of the hall and after the exhibition given for the benefit of Hugo Heyman two barrels of beer weres missed. Both were seen soon after the benefit in a vacant lot at the corner of Lin- coln avenue and Broadway, and upon in- vestigation both barrels of Deer were found. The young men admit that they drank some of the beer, but deny that they stole it. Yesterday afternoon Humphrey pleaded guilty to petty larceny. Band is anxious do the same thing, but the police are not inclined to let him, as they think he can be convicted of burgfiary. Contested Election Case. Max Gundlach subpenaed yesterday ds his witnesses for the hearing this evening, before the Trustees, the seventeen persons whose membership in the hook and ladder company is questioned. Gundlach claims that the challenged voters were not legally elected, and this point is the one on which the controversy will hinge. Colonel Bab- cock has been retained by the hook and ladder to defend the suit. School Census. James L. Ballentine, the school census marshal recently appointed, and his as- sistant, Edward Bleyman, will begin the work of enumeration in about two weeks. In view of criticisms which were made on rtions of the work last year in the West nd district, which led to the indictment of E. McFadden by the Grand Jury, Mr. Ballentine proposes to make it the special field of his personal investigation. The Minstrel Show. The proceeds of the minstrel entertain- ment for the benefit of the speed drive netted $300, which is considered a good showing in view of the expenses which were attached to the enterprise. The money was deposited with C. S. Neal yesterday. Suit for Services Rendered. Suit was brought yesterday in Justice Morris’ court by Anna Shouldice to re- cover §140 from ¥. H. Kellogg for services rendered between June 1893, and January 1895. She also wants 7 per cent interest on the unpaid claim. An Eastern Rajah Had a ruby which lighted his paluce at night.

Use SOZODONT and your teeth will be brilliant as gewels. your breath sweet as the roses of Cashmere. and will have no other kind, alleging that the vessel cannot afford the luxury of a | higher priced article. The schooner-yacht Ramona, one of the | prettiest craft afloat, was out in the bay | yesterday for an inland cruise. She was uilt at Benicia in 1890 by Captain Mathew | Turner, and is now owned by the Me- Carthy brothers. She is 58:5 feet long, 19:6 feet in width, and 6:5 feet in depth. She registers 31.50 tons net. George Evans, the first mate of the British ship Springburn, is now out of em- ployment. During the ahsence of Captain St. Clair, who was sick at 8t. Luke’s Hos- pital for some time, Evans was in com- mand of the vessel. When Captain St. Clair returned to his ship he found that a cask of beef and a large case of butter had disappeared from the stores, and upon in- | quiry the beef was found in the possession of a saloon-keeper, who had received it in payment for the convivial mate’s whisky account. As Evans was virtually in com- mand of the ship, he could not be prose- cuted for the theft, but was immediately | paid off by the owner: i WAS TWICE REVERSED, | Legal Trials of a Suit Involving Some of Blythe’s Millions. One of the biggest of the outside claims against the Blythe estate has been compro- mised for $10,000. It was the claim of the estate of R. C. Mattingly, for $125,000, com- missions on the sale of some of Blythe's mining property. The case has been running in the Su- perior courts for a number of years. It was first tried before Judge Finn, and he rendered a judgment in favor of the de- fendants. This judgment the Supreme Court reversed, announcing that the plaifi- tiff bad made out almost a prima facie case. The action was then taken before | Judge Hunt, and with the opinion of the | Supreme Court before him he rendered jud gment for the plaintiffs. This was also reversed by the Supreme Court, which, in rendering its opinion, stated the judgment was gross error, as the plaintiff had made no case at all. It was then decided by all parties to compromise the matter, and this | was done by a pro forma verdict rendered by a jury in Judge Hunt's court yesterday in favor of the defendants. ° THORN WAS INTEMPERATE. The Wife of Frank Northey's Slayer ‘Wants a Divorce. Mrs. Lizzie Thorn, wife of Harry Thorn, who shot Frank Northey about two years ago,ds suing her husband for a divorce. In her complaint she alleges as causes of action intemperance and failure to provide. The couple have been married several years, and for some time have been living a rather tumultuous existence. It culmi- nated in a row a few days ago. which ended in Thorn assaulting his wife in a brutal manner and his subsequent arreston a charge of drunkenness. The charge was never pressed, but this suit for divorce is the direct outgrowth of the trouble which led to his arrest. The complaint was filed yesterday. . e T0 HELP THE POOR.

M.; floral parade, Saturday, April 20 at 2 P. M. An ordinance has been passed by the City Council of Los Angeles prohibiting the wearing of masks and throwing of con- fetti on the streets during the fiesta. + The directors of the rose carnival at Banta Rosa have fixed upon May 8, 9 ana 10 as the dates for the entertainment in that city. \ The excursion committee has decided not to send any float or other exhibit to Los Angeles, as the purpose of the man- agers of the fiesta is to make local exhibits only in the parade. In speaking of the excursions yesterday Mr. Dohrmann said: We first thought of sending a float, but the ople did not seem to take kindly to the idea. ‘or that reason the commitiee has decided to devote all its energies to making the excur- sion a grand success without any exhibit. The excursion will go, first to Santa Barbara, thence to Los Angeles, where the fiesta will be dttended in a body. rrom Los Angeles we will go up through the San Joaguin Vnfiey and will stop at Stockton and Sacramento. From the latter place we will run up to Auburn, Placer County, thence to Santa Rosa and from there foSan Jose. Yousee, it will be quite a jaunt t:g the time the excursionists have covered e whole route. D. M. Carman, chairman of the trans- rtation committee, stated that some efinite arrangements would probably be made at the meeting of the committee this afternoon. “‘We are now corresponding with com- mittees in the towns we propose to visit in order to properly ?am for hnndlinfi the excursion in a satisfactory manner, said Mr. Carman Luteldn{, “It is my opinion that it will be one of the Fleuanz— est and most successful excursions ever started from this city. The mass-meeting in the Chamber of Commerce to-morrow will, I think, lgive the movement a livel: Vurn that willJead to-ancoess, pleasnre any public benefit.” ‘Will Close the House.
