The Complaint Was Faulty. The case of Dr. R. H. Archibald, secre- tary of the Veterinary Surgeons’ Associ- ation, charged by Dr. Thomas Carpenter with misdemeanor libel, was dismissed by Judge Wood yesterday. The court tool the ground that the complaint was faulty in that it did not state that the complain- ant was a member of the veterinary medi- cal profession. A new complaint was at once sworn out and Dr. Archibald was again arrested and booked on the same charge. He gave bonds and was released. Collins Is Sinking.

The non-appearance of Governor Budd at the annual inspection of the university military department yesterday afternoon was the source of many expressions of re- gret. At least 3000 people gathered to view the various maneuvers of the cadets, and to hear the remarks of the university’s most distinguished graduate at the recep- tion which was to be held after the close of the military exercises. All recitations for the afternoon were suspended and from 1:30 to 4:30 o'clock the campus was crowded with brass-but- toned college students and interested spec- tators. The day could not have been more favor- able for the execution of three hours hard military duty and the hoys are to be espe- cially commended for the able manner in which they carried out the orders of the The exercises were as follows: T eutenant-Colonel Evan h ector- Department of Cal : re- Licutenant-Colonel Miles; 1 by v drill; ¥ an he sham battle, as a matter of course, ng and exciting part Several of the J.

On Wednesday evening, May 1, “Caste” will be produced at the Standard Theater by the pupils of Belasco's Lyceum School of Acting for the benefit of Mrs. Emelie L, Phillips. who will appear in the cast as the Marquise. Mrs. Phillips’ name will ap- ar on the bills and benceforth as Janet acDonald, for this is the beginning of her stage career, and for her stage name she has chosen that by which she is al- ready so well known as an accomplished writer. It is interesting to announce further.that her son and daughter, both of whom are just beginning a stage life, will appear in the cast with her. All three of these accomplished members of one family have been trained for the stage by Mr. Betasco, and their friends are awaiting their initial appearance with anticipations of pleasure. rs. Phillips, besides having phenomenal pluck and energy, is richly endowed with those qualities necessary to an actress of the high class, and as the Marquise in Robertson’s great society play she will have an opportunity to show the. depth and strength of her native resources.

Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Lambert of Berkeley. CELEBRATION ON WEDNESDAY. The Aged Couple Desplte Their Welght of Years Are Hale and Hearty. On Wednesday next it will be fifty years since John C. Lambert and Elizabeth Wor- rill were married in Smith County, Vir- ginia. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert are now re- siding at the corner of Essex and Shattuck avenue, in South Berl y, and the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding will be duly celebrated in the presence of their numer- ous relatives and friends in the handsome cottage which has been their home for many years. John C. Lambert was born in Surry County, North Carolina, on August 26, 1820. His forefathers settled in that State John C. Lambert. early in the eighteenth century and the Lamberts produced many fighters of note in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Lambert’s father was a prominent planter in his sec- tion and, like many others, was a slavi holder. Young Lambert was vitterly op- posed to slavery, and when he arrived at the age of 20 years he decided to go to Illinois. On_his way thither he passed through Smith County, Va., where he remained for several years. About this time he met Miss Elizabeth Worrill, one of the belles of the county, and their acquaintance ripened into a warmer affection. After a pro- acted engagement—customary in_those —the couple were married on May 1845, on the Worrill plantation in the pres- ence of the upper ten of Smith County. The jollification that followed the marriage was participated in by all the negroes for miles around. Early in the fifties the couple removed to Illinois, where they remained until 1872, when they came to Califorr At the out- break of the rebellion Mr. Lambert en- listed in Company @, Sixty-seventh Illinois Mrs. Elizabeth Lambert. Volunteers, and served for four years un- der General Steele in the army of the Ten- nessee. It is Mr. Lambert’s boast that he was in twenty engagements without receiving a scratch, although on several occasions his clothing was riddled by bullets. The aged couple have had eleven chil- dren, cf whom five sons and three daugh- ters survive. Mrs. Lambert was born on August 22, 1827, and is 4llui!e vigorous. She is proud of the fact that she has thirty- eight grandchildren and one great-grand- child.” Many of them are in California, and they will enliven the golden wedding by their presence. The Lamberts are well known in Berke- ley, and it is quite likely that the wedding will be largely attended. A FBIDLA MY DAY FETE Nothing Being Overlooked That Can Aid the Success of the Affair. Arrangements Made for the Entertainment at the Oak- land Trotting Park. All Judging by the interestf that is being taken in the Fabiola Mayday fete across the bay, a big percentage of the entire population ot Alameda County will be at the Oakland Trotting Park to see the ep- tertainment provided by the workers in the cause of charity. Not a move is being overlooked that can in any way aid in the success of the undertaking, and the work- ing committees are hard at it from early in the morning until late at night. President R. M. Fitzgerald has voiced the way things are going in a manifesto to the citizens of Oakland, which is being circulated and which amonf other things contains the following appeal: The extended publicity which has been given the Mayday fete and the deep interest felt in every part of the State in other entertainments has drawn the attention of all reo le to the one about to take place in Oakland. It has censed to be local, and has assumed a charac- ter that makes it the duty, as it wil! doubtless be the pleasure, of Oskland to give it such sup- port as will assure its being a credit to this progressive and enlightened community. Let us be so prodigal of the wealth ‘of our floral trensure-golllo that our frienas in the south wili be surprised at its vastness, the Eastern visitor be bewildered, our neighbors enlightened, and we ourselves be made to feel that while conferring & day of enjoyment at this entertainment to thousands of busy toilers and bringing solace to the bedside of sickness and pain within Fabiola’s ministering walls, we, as citizens, have done our part with fidelity and credit. The feature of the festival which will probably be attended with the most actual st is the horse and bicycle meet, and there is no fear of anything being over- looked, for the following committee isin charge of that part of the programme: R zgerald, P. E. Bowles, V. G. Hush, 8. ee, A. A. Moore, D. Bates Jr., J. W. Finigan, Orestes Pierce, Dr.Latham, De Witt Van Court, P.’'H.Remillard, Walter Hackett, Albert Folger, Harry Gordon, F. 8. Stratton, H. Meek, William Rank, Charles Neal, W. V. Whitcher, Edson Adas, S. G. Alexander, T. L. P. Channell, Frank Pierce, Charles Melyor, J. Laymance, A.S. MacDonald, E. G. Vinzent and Gus Harrison. The inducements to the competitors are well worth striving for, as many valuable }u-izes are offered. In the bicycle races, or instance, the victors will get diamonds, bicycles, watches, ete., while two rewards: one a shade lamp and the other a clock will be given to the club making the best ap'f)eurance in the parade. he entries for the horseraces include many well-known animals. Among the competitors for the running gentlemen’s saddlie race, three-quarters of a mile, H. E. Smith will ride Carrie B, a two-year-old bay filly; F.P. McFeeley will appear on Billy, Carl Hazlett on Snowball ar.d Arthur Permien on Directorini. In_the mile trot M. W. Holmes has entered Clay H, by Redwood. ¢ About 125 speedy horses will be at the track, among them being Directum (2:05‘,{3, the fastest trotting stallion in the world. Directum is owned by Green J. Dublin, and is in charge of James Dustin. The speed-maker wifi‘l be given a spurt, and his going will be of interest to horsemen, especially as he is to be matched against Alix early this season for a ]iurse of $5000. Silkwood will also be on hand. She is owned by Mr. Willetts of Los Angeles and has a record of 2:07. Among the others will be: Orrin Hickok's Hulda, 2:08}4; Fresno Prince, 2:17, a pacer, and owned by Mr. Armstrong of Oakland; A, B. Spreckels will send Prince Dexter and twelve or fifteen other noted nags; Secret, a 2:18 trotter, owned by P, J. Shaiter, will be on hand, as will also Golden West, 2:20 trotter, owned by J. M. Nelson; Clay S and Grovi Clay, owned by D. Ganon; & fine road msre owned o. Dietz; three horses, the property of Thomas Braner, aud strings from the stables of W. Ober, John Rohan, J. C. Simpson, A. L. Heads, L. E. Clauson and'W, W. Foote. Mammoth decorated floats are to repre- sent the leading Sunday-schools of Oak- land, altogether twelve or fiiteen being e: pected. The members of the various con- gregations are all heartily in fayor of the movement and are aiding it in every way possible. “I have watched Fabiola erow since it was a little two-room concern on Market street with only one patient,” says Rev. Dr.J. K. McLean. “The ladies who have brought it up to its present high standard of efficiency deserve the hearty support of v one whenever they may require it.” Dr. R. F. Coyle of the First Pres- an Church says: “The benefit for Fabiola is a meritorious object and one which cannot fail to meet the approval of all classes. The fact that the ladies are back of the affair is sufficient assurance that there will be no objectionable fea- | tures.” Dr. Kummer of the First Metho- dist Church in like strain said: “I will be glad to have our Sunday-school take part. Fabiola is a most commendable beneficiary and the ladies would not allow any feature that we could not indorse,” Other interests are equally outspoken in behalf of the festival and a personal feel- ing seems to have sprung up in the heart of every Oaklande It is the best idea | that was ever advanced here,”” says Attor- ney A. A. Moore, “and although appar- ently a slight affair, will be far-reaching in its nlts. We bave long needed an agi- tation tor good roads, fine turnouts and & boulevard and this meet will arouse the people as nothing else could.” The schools have taken up the affair in laudable style and the subject is being well urged, as it is in the bands of a committee counsisting of City Superintendent Me- Clymonds, Couniy Superintendent Gar- lick, George C. Edwards, Professor Dun- bar and T. O.Crawford. Each school will be represented in the parade by a mammoth float decorated with flowers and colors emblematic of their own district. Twenty children will occupy seats on each float and will be attired in attractive costumes harmonizing with the decorations of the vehicles. A leader in front of each school will carry a banner with a fitting inscrip- tion made of flowers. The refreshment and decoration com- mittee has been named as follows: Mrs. Join Yule, Mrs. Pedar Sather, Mrs. Remi Chabot, Mrs. R. W. Gorrill, Mrs. A. A. Barton, Mrs. E. B. Jerome, Mrs. Q. A. Chase, Mrs. Wallace Everson, Mrs. W. W. Standeford, Mrs. W. R. Davis, Miss May Burnnam and the board of managers of the hospital. The sub-committees are as follows: Refreshments—Mrs, Wallace Everson, Mrs. Robert McChesney, Mrs. Arthur | Brown, Mrs. Q. A, Chase, Mrs. E. B. | Jerome, Mrs. Remi Chabot, Mrs. R. W. Gorrill. Candy—Miss May Burnham, Mrs. T. G. Harrison, Mrs. W. Gruenhagen. - ART INSTITUTE COONCERT. First of the Spring Thursday Musicales Under Henry Heyman. The first Thursday concert of the spring exhibition was given yesterday evening at | the Mark Hopking’ Institute of Art. These musicales are always popular with people who like a pleasant promenade con- cert, where they can enjoy pictures and music at the same time, and one of their chief charms is that they partake almost more of the nature of a private reception in some fashionable house than of the kind of entertainment usually called a prom- enade concert. Last night there was a large attendance, all the rooms as well as the large hall being more or less filled with a constantly moving stream of visitors, Professor Henry Heyman, who is al- ways so successful in inducing clever local talent to give their services, was again to the front as musical director. His posi- tion was no sinecure, for, in addition to gathering together the talent, he was also down for three violin solos, all of which he faithfully rendered. These were an ““Adagio Pathetique” by Godard, “De- y Hubay, and “Canto vantson Image’ by d’Amor” by klmngro, The other performers were Emilio Cru- ells, who played a couple of organ selec- tions: Charles L. Parent Jr., who san “Deep in the Mine” and the “Brigand’s Love Song,” and Miss Daisy Cehn, who sang an aria from “Ernani,”’ as well as | Stark’s setting of the words “Thou Art 8o Like a Flower,” with violin obligato. Musio and Gymnasitos. The German branch of the Y. M. C. A. gave a musical and gymnastic entertain- ment last night in the auditorium of their new building. Although the audience was not very numerous, the programme was warmly received and encored by those present. The concert opened with a trio for man- dolins and E“imr’ played by Miss K. But- ler, G. Lachman and E. Roberts. The Misses Weymouth played a Swedish song as a violin and pianoforte duet, and Miss Mary M. Brown, a very youthful per- former, played pianoforte solos: iss Rosa Iully showed herself to be quite an artist on the cimbals, and John A. Gantner was the elocutionist of the evening. A most humoreus caricature was given by seven or eight players on brass instru- ments, of the kind of German band that sometimes pervades European watering places. The perfcrmers were so fearfully and awfully out of tune, and evidently in- tended to be so, that the audience roared with laughter, particularly when the ka- pellmeister told them about the great re- nown of his soloists. Some clever exhibitions of Roman ma work were given by H. L. Dietz and Ernesf Schenk, and H. L. Dietz also performed with illuminated clubs. e Telescopes are now so perfect that 50,000,- 000 stars are visible. EAGER TO BEGIN WORK. The Bureau of Highways'Ap— peals to the Attorney- General. INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW, A Boulevard From Oakland to San Jose One of Their Plans. The three men who were appointed by Governor Budd to act as a Burean of High- ways have since their appointment become anxious to assume theirduties. Assuch a bureau the Governor appointed Marsden Manson of this city, who was fer years chief engineer of the Board of State Har- bor Commissioners; R. C. Irvine of Sacra- mento and J. L. Maude of San Bernardino. Under the act the sum of $31,000 was ap- portioned for the expenses of the bureau, and provision was made that one-half of the same shall be available during the com- ing fiscal year, beginning next July, and the other half during the next fiscal year. The three gentlemen who were ap- pointed by the Governor are well-known men of energy and ability, and various ideas as to the improvement of public roads which have occurred to them have caused them to become impatient as to the delay until July 12, which is implied in the act. After several’consultations they have concluded that the act needs a little interpretation. They think that while the appropriation is not available until next July, there is no reason why they should not be able to begin their duties at once. In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. Manson said that there was so much pre- liminary work to be done that it was ab- imlutely necessary that no time should be ost. “This is a new matter in this State,” saxd Mr. Manson, *“and it is incumbent upon us to educate the peopie up to our idea as well as to do the work. Everything depends upon the spirit of the people along the routes where we may project improvements. We want the peopie with us; we want to show them the advantages of ‘carrying out our plans. In order to do this there is no reason why we should waste the months of May and June. We want to do the preliminary work now, and then follow it up with the practical work. “In order to do this we have written a letter to the Attorney-General asking him to give us a broad interpretation of the law, so that we can proceed in a legal way and systematize our work. “There is more work to be performed in a conscientious manner than you have any idea of, and we cannot begin 100 soon. We must go through the various counties and study the geology of each county, the water supply, the rock deposits and their advantages as to utilization. It was our purpose to devote three days to each county with this object in view, and then we will know just how to proceed and lay out our plans. In addition to this we want to talk to property-owners and prominent men in the differentsections. I do not see why we cannot begin work at once, and I do not anticipate an unfavorable reply from the Attorney-General.” When asked as to any definite plans which had been formed, Mr. Manson and Mr. Irvine both said that no definite ones had been arranged for, but one which would be taken up was that for a boule- vard from Oakland to San Jose similar in style to the one proposed from San Fran- cisco to the Garden City. “We haye selected no route yet, and have done nothing other than discuss it,” said Mr. Manson, “but our idea is to have a grand boulevard go down the other side of the bay, which will meet the one from here at San Jose, the two forming a V, and then continuing as a main line from there south through the valley with possible offshoots. There is a big field for us to go over, and much work to do, and the main thing is to get started as early as possible. That is why we have written to the Attor- ney-General and asked for an interpreta- tion of the law.” SNE THE PAVEMENTS An Ordinance to Compel Teamsters to Use Broad- tired Wheels. Golden Gate Avenue May Soon Be Closed to Heavily Laden Trucks and Drays. The Merchants’ Association has met with so much suc nce it was organ- ized a year or so ago that its members have determined to prosecute their work with even more vigor than has been dis- played before. The executive committee and its civil engineer, Ernest McCullough, have been recently considering several propositions that will benefit the general public. Ithas been determined that the work of keeping the streets clean shall be continued, and greater efforts will be made to interest a larger number of business men so that the burden of expense will not fall so heavily upon those who are now contributing liberally toward keeping the thoroughfares in good condition. In the near future the Supervisors and the public wili be called upon to consider two important improvements. One will be the enactment of an ordinance rezu- lating the width of tires upon all vehicles used for the transportation of goods and freight through the streets of this city. Suc%\ ordinances have been recently passed in Minneapolis, Cleveland and Chicago. In those cities wagons and trucks carrying less than 2000 pounds and more than IPOO are required to have three-inch tires. “We will have to have tires even wider than this,” said Vice-President Keil yes- terday. “In this city the trucks and drays are much larger and carry heavier loads than in the Eastern cities. “Six and seven ton loads are not infrequently seen upon our streets on wagons with tires only 3 and 314 inches in width. That such wheels cut the streets all to pieces goes without saying, and in consequence it costs the taxpayers thousands of dollars every year to keep the streets in order. This matter was brought up several years ago and it met with so much opposition on the part of the teamsters and draymen that it had to be abandoned. They op- posed the change because of what it woufll cost them to alter tires. Now, the law can be so framed that the draymen need not make the change at once, but when their wheels and tires wear out and are in need of repairs. i =By having wide tires our streets can be kept in better order at much less cost than at the present time. Besides it will permit the laying of more bitumen pavements than at the present time, when the mate- rial would be cut to pieces with narrow tires and heavy loads. In the long run it will cast the teamsters themselves less for repairs upon their trucks than it does now, when breakdowns are frequent and are caused principally by streets cut up by narrow tires. & In the proposed ordinance will be an- other important feature. It is that the front axle shall be shorter than the hind axle. This is to prevent the wheels *‘track- ing,” and will cause the distribution of the weight of the load over a larger surface of the paving. The Merchants’ Association has deter- mined to take up another matter, which will, without doubt, receive the indorse- ment of all who drive carriages and ride bicycles out to Golden Gate Park. It is to secure the enactment of an ordinance by which all drays, trucks, express-wagons and that class of vehicles will be excluded from Golden Gate avenue. In cases where business men upon the avenue have occa- sion to carry loads to their stores, their wagons can only travel upon the block in which the store’is situated. It will be the same with expressmen who move house- hold goods to or from houses on the avenue. ‘“Golden Gate avenue is about the only good thoroughfare leading from the center of the city direct to Golden Gate Park,” re- T vk edls Direotor Ward yesterday. “It is the only one that is laid with bitumen. Now the pavement is cut to pieces ina most shameful manner by heavy trucks and wagons loaded with hay, lumber, machinery, etc. “A man with a light carriage runs the risk of a smashup and getting his neck broken by the chuckholes made by heavy trucks with narrow tires. The wheelmen tear their bicycles to pieces and run the risk of being run down every time they ride on this avenue. Now, for heavy trucking there are just as good streets upon | both sides of Golden Gate avenue and it is | about time our citizens who own good | teams and light carriages should be pro- tected.” The First avenue boulevard matter is | progressing favorably. The. Merchants’ | Association, the Richmond District and | Presidio Heights improvement clubs and | others livingin the vicinity of First avenue are interested in having this thoroughfare opened as a beautiful boulevard, paved with bitumen and lined with shade trees on both sides. The steep grade between Lake street.and the Presidio will have to be changed a little. There is a proposition now before the Board of Supervisors to sewer the avenue at that portion, but upon the request of the association action upon the matter was postponed for a month until the question of changing the grade is settled. A committee from the association called upon Mayor Sutro and requested that he abandon his franchise to run a spur branch of his elec- tric streetcar line upon First avenue, from Clement to Washington street. | The Mayor, upon learning that the de- | is to maq a beuutifurdriveway be- | tween the Presidio reservation and Golden Gate Park, said that the wishes of the merchants and the others interested may | probably be complied with. He will have | to consult others of the electric streetcar | company before making a promise. The committee wiil next visit the Market-street | i icials and ask them to remove | their old rails on First avenue, from Geary | street to the Park. These tracks have not been used since the extension of the Geary- street cable road to Fifth avenue. IMPEACHMENT DEMANDED The Grand Jury Has Been Asked to Investigate the Solid Eight. The Clvic Federation Is Not Satisfied With the Supervisors’ Actions. The Civic Federation has turned its at- tention to the unsavory record that the members of the solid eight in the Board of Supervisors are making for themselves. The combine’s action concerning the Church-street franchise is particularly ob- noxious. The members of the executive board held a long secret session last night, and the re- sult of their deliberations were crystallized in the following resolution. To the Grand Jury: WHEREAS, On the 15th day of April, 1895 the Bourd'of Supervisors of this city and county by & vote of eight to_four granted to the Market-street Railway Company, its suc- cessors and assigns, for the sum of %605, a franchise to construct, lay down and operate a street railway from Sixteenth street, near its intersection with Church street, along Church street o Ridley street = and thence along Ridley to Fillmore street, and whereas, the said franchise was granted with- out the publication of & proper notice and the otherlegal requirements of the act of the Legis- lature of this State ap March 23,1893; and whereas, in granting said franchise the pro- visions of the act were plainly and manifestly violated; and whereas, under section 2 of said act all of the members of said Board of Super- visors, consisting of the elght who voted in | favor of the granting of said franchise, have vioiated the provisions of said act, and thereby have committed & misdemeanor and are re- moveble upon conviction thereof from their Now, therefore, be it hat the attention of the Grand v and county of San Francisco be | foregoing violations of law by said members of said board, and said Grand Jury be | and they are hereby requested to take such | action as may be deemed appropriate to the end that such punishment as is provided by said law may be meted out to said members of the Board of Supervisors who voted for the granting of said franchise.
