The rush for tickets has already begun, and the indications are that those who take time by the forelock and obtain their bits of pasteboard, entitling them to ad- mission to the trotting park, will be saved much inconvenience in the crush at the offices which will be practically un- avoidable. 3 d was received yesterday from Superintendent Wilder of the Southern Pacific Company that half-hour trains would be run on the Berkeley line all day on May 1 to accommods are expected from San Franc More of Simonton’s Methods. Ernest 8imonton, the young man who is wanted by the police for forging the name of A. W. Btilwell to various checks for small amounts, has not confined his opera- tions to that line of industry, but has raised money by other means not strictly honest. Some time ago he called on Prescott & Sargent, agents for sewing machines, and hired a machine for two weeks. When the stipulated time for the return of the prop- erty arrived the agents went after their machine, but found tbat Simonton had sold it and Jeit for parts unknown. The parties who purchased it demurred against the agents’ demand for its return, but fipally gave it up on proof being pro- duced that Simonton did not own it. |Going Before the Superior Court. Dr. R. A. Archibald of Sacramento, who was arrested on a charge of libel preferred Dr. Thomas Carpenter of Oakland, has decided to put a stop to his annoyance by having the Superior Court pass upon his = ase. On the first trial of the case, which has 1used much interest among veterinarians, harge was dismissed by Judge Wood on the ground that the complaint did not state sufficient cause for action. Dr. Archibald was immediately rear- rested on an amended complaint, and a decision was to have been rendered yester- day. The attorney for the accused, how- ever, informed Judge Wood that he would swear out & writ of habeas corpus before the Superior Court and have the matter settled once for all. Refused the Taxes. The Southern Pacific Company made an- other attempt to pay its taxes, less the amount called for by the raise which the City Council, sitting as a Board of Equali- zation, made some time ago, yesterday afternoon. Treasurer Gilpin v-as surprised to see the agents of the corporation come trooping into his office carrying sacks of coin and for a moment, judging from the f their loads, thought that they had decided to pay their full assessment. He was disappointed, however, for the sum which they carried, about $10,000, was ot nearly sufficient to meet the demand. Under the circumstances he was com- pelled to observe the opinion recently pre- pared in the matter by City Attorney Peir- sol and courteously informed the corpora- tion’s employes that he could not accept the money. He was sorry to decline to re- ceive the funds, but his duty was plain and he had to obe At the Macdonough. Beginning to-morrow night three per- formances of the thrilling war drama, “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” will be given at the Macdonough Theater. The play had a run of 500 nights in New York, and is considered one of the most realistic war plays ever produced on this coast. It contains a charmingly un- folded love story and an attack by Indians ona frontier post which is handsomely mounted. The advance sale of seats, at popular prices, has been large, and the lay will no doubt be greeted by a crowded ouse. On May 6 and 7 Peter F. Dailey will ap- pear in his laughable Comedy, “‘A Coun- try Sport.” 5 R BERKELEY. At the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Town Trustees to-morrow even- ing preliminary arrangements will be made for the municipal election, which is to take place on May 13. The mostim- portant work to be done will be the ap- pointing of election officers and deciding upon poliing places for the different wards. Great care has been exercised by the board in selecting men for appointment to elec- tion offices, as the importance of the com- ing election has been fully realized. The new charter, which goes into effect on election day, will provide for several important reforms, chief among which are the laws governing the securing of liquor licenses and the abolition of constables. The charter also provides for a greater an- nual allowance for public school purposes. Farewell Reception, A farewell reception will be tendered the ity athletic team, which leaves for 1 2, at Stiles Hall next Wednesday evening. Elaborate preparations are being made for the reception, and it is expected that a large part of the student body will turn out and give the athletes all the encourage- ment possible. Refreshments will be served and the re- ceipts will go towara paying the expenses of the team. General Notes. Owing to the unfavorable weather the Crescent Club wheelmen will postpone their run to Santa Rosa, which was to take place to-day. The pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Berkeley will be filled to-day by Rev. Robert Whittaker, pastor of the Twenty- third avenue Baptist Church, Oakland. The benefit concert given at Lorin last night in behalf of the Peralta Fire Com- pany was not so largely attended as was cted. G. R. Dodson of Alameda will to-night in Stiles Hall under the auspices of the First Unitarian Church on the topic: ‘‘Some problems in Life, in of }[cru-hty.” The new register of the university for the year 189 will be out in about tendays. It will contain seventy pages more than the last register issued, and will give a much more complete and com- prehensive outline of the work pursued in the aifferent departments of the uni- versity. ALAMEDA. Litigation over the extension of Lguisa street is at an end, and the thoroughfare will be put through from its present ter- minus. The land condemned belonged to Philip Heuer, and he has been paid for damages $3124, and all assessments have been liquidated. There will be no. contest over the widening of Lincoln avenue, be- tween Everett and Broadway. Owners of the property taken have signified their willingness to accept the award made by the Commissioners. As soon as necessary proceedinegs can be had to insure legal title the matter will be closed. The Charge Dismissed. The charge of burglary against Alexan- der Wallace was dismissed yesterday on motion of the District Attorney, who was unable to furnish proof of the identity of the stolen property owing to the absence of the prosecuting witness, Mrs. Holten, and the refusal of the accused to consentto further postponement. The Closing Feature. The cldsing feature of the extended Ly- ceum lecture course will be a concert next Friday evening at the Unitarian Church. Among the attractions will be a “kinder,” symphony, conducted by Theo s Miss Elizabeth Westgate, Wetche and Ernest Vic- tors and eight children. Lecture on Social Reform. Rev. Mahlon H. Wilson will give an interesting lecture at Linderman Opera- house this afternoon on the subject of “Social Reform and the Church,” Appro- priate music will accompany the lecture, which will be given under the auspices of the Good Citizensnip Club. Cricket Game Postponed. Owing to the death of L. M. Brown last week while riding in one of the citrus colony pony races the two days’ match which was to have been played yesterday and to-day at Penryn between the Citrus Colony and Alameda clubs, has been in- definitely postponed. A Counter Movement. Captain H. H. Todd is circulating a Eetihon to be presented to the County Supervisors for the retention of Ralph Hamlin, tender of the Bay Farm Island bridge at High street. This is a counter movement to *the petition asking for his displacement. A Second Violation. Officer Rogers arrested an Oakland peddler yesterday named M. Kowalsky for peddling without the municipal license of $10. This is his second offense on the same charge. Polar Bears and Cats. Leoni Clarke, who has just finished an engagement at the Empire at Birmingham, has to carry around the country with him quite a menagerie of cats and rats and birds and mice. Although thirty cats are sufficient for his entertainment, he has sixty or more with him, for cats are very skittish creatures, and when they take the whim into their heads it is useless to take them on the stage. Mr. Clarke has trained all sorts of animals, from lions downward, and he says the most difficult of them all is the cat. He has to treat her with extra- ordinary care. A dog is sensible, a mon- key accommodating and a rat either for- ives or forgets—but a cat! She isa hope- fi's* bundle of sensibilities. Strike her once, if only by accident, and she will never perform again. Kindness is not only politic, it is abso- lutely necessary, in the training of cats. When Mr. Clarke enters the stable the mewing is prodigious, and he is instantl, buried in a moving mantle of cats. It took him four years to train some of his animals before he could put them upon the stage. The parachute cat which climbs up the rope to the roof of the theater and flies down by a parachute, is the second which has done the trick. The first be- came too fat, and fell into bad ways. It is now Jim Corbett and boxes Mit- chell nightly. A curious feature of the show is the way in which the cats walk over a rope of rats and mice and canaries, stepping gingerly between the little fluttering bodies. “This mighty for- bearance is brought about by training up the cats from kittens in the same cage as the rats and birds. There are only six of his cats that Mr. Clarke dare trust emong the rats. The rats and mice come from Java. There are some beautiful little ani- mals among them—not only albinos, pure white with pink eyes, but fawns and b]acks and yellows and browns, and mixtures o all the lot, says the Birmingham Mail. Another good story is that of the Polar bear whose toenails were cut by Mr. Hagenbeck. “I expect,” he says, “I am pretty well the ondv man in the world who ever performed such an operation. The bear’s nails had grown into his feet, and he was in greas pain. We had vainly tried to get hold of the feet through the bars of the cage to cut the nails. Atlast I ot him into a narrow cage with an iron- garred front, and turned it so that the animal stood on the bars. I went under- neath with a sharp pair of pincers and managed to pull the nails out. Then we gave him a foot bath to cool the wounds, and in a day or two he was all right.” OAKLAND'S GREAT FETE, Society Preparing for a May Day That Will Be Long Remembered. SOCIAL LEADERS INTERESTED, The Fablola Benefit—~Names of Com~ mittees and Managers of Booths. The skies are being anxiously watched by society the other side of the bay, for in view of the present uncertain weather they are fearful lest the rain should not be out of the way by the time May day comes around. There are three days intervening, though, so they are hopeful that that lapse of time will be sutficient to enable the sun- shine to take possession again and make the Fabiola fete a gigantic success. Everything moves on merrily toward a satisfactory conclusion of the labors of the committee, and the encouragement that is being sent from all classes of the community shows that a general interest: has been awakened. It could not be other- wise, though, in view of the fact that all the social leaders of Oakland are person- ally conducting the affair, for they have a knack of shaking things up that conld not otherwise be moved by horse power. Mrs. John Yule, who with Mrs. Chabot is looking after the handling of the booths, has at last completed the selection of those who are to be in charge. It will be seen that the names include the best represen- tatives of Athenian society. They are as follows: Reception committee—Mrs. E. C. Selfridge, Mrs. D. E. Hayes, Mrs. R. W. Kirkham, Mrs. W .

The handicapping in the bicycle races has been met with general satisfaction among the wheeimen, and as grievances are few and far between the chances are that there will not be many scratchings from the original list of entries. Those who know what the various contestants are capable of say that the work of the hm‘.dicaprers has been done well, and-it will be a hard matter to pick a winner in any of the contests. Amid all the interest that is being cen- tered on the races proper sight has not been lost of the great parade which is to take place through the streets of Oaklard the evening preceding Mayday. Over 1000 eronnses to be in line are already in the ands of Secretary Pomroy, and as the un- attached riders had not yet been heard {from the total will far exceed that number. Two valuable Prizes are to be given to the club making the best appearance and the club baving the greatest number of men in line. Thus stimulated, the rivalry be- tween the various wheeling organizations will become intense, and close competition is expected, especially among the an dis- trict clubs. George F. Neece, president of the Acme Club Wheelmen and chairman of the bicycle committee, will be the grand marshal of the parade, and will select aids from the Acme Club, Reliance Club and Oakland Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club. The line of march to be covered is as follows: Starting from the Reliance Club building, on Seventeenth street and San Pablo avenue, down San Pablo to Broadway, to Kighth, to Washington, to Sixth, to Broad- way, to Twelfth, to Jackson, to Lake, to Madison, to Tenth, to Broadway, to Four- teenth, to Franklin, to Twelith, to Broad- way, and disbanding in front of the Acme Club on Twelfth strest. The Acme Club men have voluntarily agreed not to compete for the prize to be given to the largest delegation, and this will throw the throphy to an outside or- ganization. The parade will start promptl at 8 o’clock, and participants are requextefi to be in their places by 7:30. All the town will turn out to see the show, and it will be an_appropriate way of ushering in the great feature of the succeeding day. Everything moves on swimmingly for the programme to be observed at the trot- ting park, and the efforts of the committee are being centralized now on the projec- tion of the thousand and one necessar: Erclimina}'les. Arthur Brown, the WCIE nown bndfebuilder of the Southern Pa- cific, has taken charge of the testing of the mammoth grand stand, and it is being braced and girdered in a way that will in- sure absolute safety to the 5000 who will be seated on it. Grana Marshal Captain W. R. Thomas finds that he will have plenty to do in ful- filling his new duties so he has about made up his mind to devote his whole time from now until the fiesta is over to getting his art of it in shape. He will be ably assisted, or his corps of aids-de-camp has been chosen as follows: J. H. Ames, John A. Adams, Bert Brayton, E. H. Benjamin, Samuel Breck Jr., L. G. Burpee, F.E. Brigham, A. H. Breed, D. D, Barnard, Harry Bemer, L. S. Blake, Charles Bon, John A. Britian, Dr. Blood, Donald Campbell, George E. de Golia, Dr. J. M. Dunn, Dr. George Dunn, Colonel George E.

Those who are desirous_of participating in the parade of decorated floats should not forget that the entries close at noon Mon- day. Inview of the unexpected number of entries, the parade will occur at 1 ». M. instead of later in the day, as was origi- nally planned. A STARVING FAMILY, Pitiful Case of Destitution of a Sick Widow and Three Small Children. A pitiful case of destitution and starva- tion was brought to the attention of Secre- tary McComb of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children yesterday. Living at 720 Willow avenue isa widow named Mrs. A. Heath. She has three chil- dren, the eldest being less than 8 years of age. Since the death of her husband some months ago Mrs. Heath has made a pre- carious living for herself and children by doing various kinds of work. Several days ago she became so ill that she was unable to leave her bed. The poor woman had some stale bread and other edibles, and as long as_this lasted she re- frained from acquainting her neighbors with her sad condition. A sick feverish woman cannot live long on dry bread and water without sufferingthe penalty, and her illness became alalmgng, Meanwhile the little children surrounded her bed and clamored for food. She told them to call in one of the neighbors. The eldest child, already weakened by pro- longed fasting, went to a neighborand told him that her mother was dying. Investi- gation followed, with theresult that the ve]r_ngorary wants of the family were sup- led. 2 Secretary McComb at once reported the case to the Associated Charities. Pending action by that body, he has taken charge of the children and they will be provided with suitable quarters until their mother RESCUED FROM THE MUD, An Old Boat Which Was Once the Pride of the Bay to Sail Again. After Years of Repose the Tita Begins Her Career Anew. For over ten years an old sloop has lain high and dry on the Sausalito beach, near the Pacific Yacht Club. Nestled against the bank, and under the shade of the oaks that line its margin, it seemed as if, like a sea-weary mariner who had found a snug harbor, the wave-worn boat was to be per- mitted to rest in peace. But recently a speculative fisherman spied her, probed her timbers, found that she was still sound, and with a little nursing would be fit for the sea again, and the Tita was launched once more. That boat is a chapter of the ancient his- tory of the peninsula. She was built by one of the oldest settlers of Marin County, and when Captain Storey retired from plowing the waves, his son Leonard in- herited her. She was a bread-winner from the hour her shapely bow first touched the water to the day of her retirement. She is rich in traditions, and some of the most prominent of the old Californians have sat in her cockpit. At the period when the ferry service between Sausalito and San Francisco was fitful, uncertain and unsat- isfactory, when the merry guest, lingering late by the smoke of the clambake, lost the last boat, the spectacle of the Titaridingat her moorings assured him that he would sleep that night under the domestic roof. f!And so it was the custom for those early merrymakers to charter the otd sloop and sail across with the sense of perfect secur- ity in her seaworthiness. She never be- trayed her trust. She was weatherly and stanch to the last. And when Leonard Storey married the woman of his choice the Tita ranked high in the category of his possessions, for the rates of freighting were high, and the fast and roomy sloop was never idle on weekdays. On Sundays she put on her holiday attire, as it were, and took fishing parties to the favorite grounds and back to town again were they 0 disposed. ‘When the captain and owner’s eldest girl was born he called her after the SIOOF’ reversing the order of things,where usuall { the boat is named after the individual. Other children blessed bis cottage by the beach, who climbed over the rails of the good hoat which brought them their bread and butter, and dived overboard from_her decks, and learned to handle the tiller, and became expert in putting her about, and luffing to the breeze, and rounding to at her moorings, and all the other arts of the boat sailor. The Tita was their marine godmother, and her captain be- lieved that she never sailed as well or an- swered the helm so promptly as when the children were on board. The fiercest squall that ever came tearing down Hur- ricane Gulch was powerless to beam-end the lusty craft when her precious freight was crowded up on the weather rail, laughing at the spray that swept over them. But there came a time when business became so bad that the sloup was hauled on the beach for repairs, which were never made. Her owner used to visit her every day and sound her timbers and discourse to any one patient enough to listen of her magnificent record and what a fortune there was in her still by the expenditure of a few hundred dollars.” He predicted that some day the proper rerson would come along and the Tita would be put once more in commission. He never lived to see her rejuvenation. R ue day he went out in a small boat to fish off Lime Point. The weather was threatening, but Storey was an expert sailor, knew all the tides and currents in the bay, and was perfectly fearless. The strong afternoon Ereeze freshened to a gale, but the folks at home were not un- easy about him. Possibiy he might have been compelled to run before the breeze to the San Fran- cisco shore, or had found a lee to Horse- shoe Bay and was waiting there for the weather to moderate. Early on the morn- ing of the next day his boys climbed the headlands to look out for their father, but his boat was not visible. She was found afterward lying on the rocks, but not badly stove in. No other trace of the hardy mariner who sailed her was ever discovered. Some ventured the theory that he might have been picked up by an outward-bound ship, but when month after month went by without any tidings from him the conclusion became inevitable that the sea had claimed him, and had refused to give up its dead. But lo, long after the death of him whose fortunes were bound up in the old boat and who loved her, as sailors will love a true and sturdy crait, the Tita has begun a new era in her life, under ge:v owners and with stranger hands at the eim. —————— Rare Books From Siam, The trustees of the Mercantile Library Asso- ciation have just received through the Siamese Consul at New York & unique addition to the library in the form of & collection of titirty- nine volumes presented by the King of Siam. The books comprise the sacred writings of the Southern Buddhists, known as the “Tripi- taka,” published in a special edition by order of his Majesty Somdetch Phra Chula Para mindr Maha Chulalonkorn Phra Chula Chom Kino, in_commemoration of the twenty-fifth year of his reign. The books are octavo in size, printed from Siamese type and are an ex- cellent specimen of fine printing. The binding, in leather and cloth, is of the yellow peculiar to the Far East, each volume bearing the royal coat-of-arms in gold. As was shown at itsre- cent exmblno! of rare books the Mercantile Library has been peculiarly fortunate as the recl&ient of numerous rare and valuable books, not alone from individuals but from many foreign Governments. NORMAL COOKING SCHOOL, An Institution Is to Be Opened During the Coming. Fall. MRS. EWING IS IN DEMAND. The Delicate Art of Cake-Making Explained In an Interesting Lecture. San Francisco is to have a genuine cook- ing school—a sort of normal affair, in which teachers of cookery and others in- terested in the introduction of scientifc and economical methods of cooking may have the opportunity of learning the art in a practical way. Prior to the coming of Mrs. Ewing, the great Chautauguan expo- nent of scientific cooking, Mrs. Harring- ton, Mrs. Wilson and others interested in this particular branch of home art, had de- termined to establish a school of this char- acter in a small way, hoping in time to arouse such enthusiasm as would warrant greater expansion later on. Since the ad- venat of Mrs. Ewing there has sprung up a gopular clamor for more of this sort of eaching, and what promised to be a small institution at first now looms up in mag- nificent proportions and more definite form. Three months ago there was incorpo- rated the Society for the Introduction of Scientific Cooking in the Kitchen, with Mrs. Willard C. Harrington as president and Mrs. Horace Wilson, treasurer. These ladies, with others equally interested in the work, will next fall open up a normal school of cooking, and are now correspond- ing with some of the famous teachers of cookery in New York with a view of secur- ing their services. They are also making a strong bid for Mrs. Ewing, and the only thing that stands in the way of closing a contract with this lady at the present time is the question of money. Mrs. Ewing is pleased with her reception here, and is also anxious to return. So the chances are strongly in favor of that lady presid- ing over the destinies of the normal school ‘when it opens for business next September. The opening of such a school as this would go a long way toward enlightening &ll classes of the community upon the im- ortance of unadulterated food products in the market and in the household. This science has now me an important branch of education in all_colleges for women and in all schools to which women are admitted, hence the venture of Mrs. Harrington and her co-worker, Mrs. Wilson, could not be more opportune. Here work of this character san be intelligently tested, teachers scientifically trained and eql)ip{)ed and a thorough instruction in all househola arts given. It is also claimed by the promotors of the scheme thatasa means of regulating household labor as regards employer and employed it will be invaluable. The work that Mrs. Ewing hasdone since her arrival in San Francisco a few weeks ago is little short of phenomenal, so far as enthusiasm goes, the average attendance at each lesson being considersfi:ly over 300, As stated before, her work has done not a little toward strengthening the foundation of the Normal Cooking School, and whether she returns next fall or not, the impetus her presence has given the science will be felt for some time. Friday morning Mrs. Ewing delivered her last lecture on scien- tific cooking, taking as her subject, *‘Suc- cess in Cake-makine.” *The simpler, the more delicate and tender you make your cake the more de- licious 1t is and least likely to hurt those who sample it,” said Mrs. Ewing, by way of immducm;i. “As it will take fifty minutes to make angel cake, we will start with that kind first. In cake-making please remember that we stick to our theory of principles. General formulas I will give, and with these foundations you experiment to suit your fancy. “For the foundation of the most delicate cake, angel cake, I take one cup of whites of eggs and beat in this bowl with a fork until well broken. "whi' one cupful? Because sometimesa cup holds seven whites, sometimes eleven, so that I cannot designate the number of eggs. Kggs vary in size, but to say one cup gives you a proportion. When T have thoroughly broken the whites I sift in a level teaspoon of cream-of-tartar and beat again until the egg clings to the sides of the bowl.® I now put a cup and a half of granulated sugar into the sifter and sift a little at a time until I have stirrea it all into the bowl, using my wire handbeater. Now I flavor with a very light teaspoonful of almond. NextIputa cup of flour that has already been siited into the sifter and gently, evenly shake it, just a little at a time, until it is all stirre in. Too great care cannot be taken in get- ting this flour in properly. Just barely dust the surface of your mixture each time, then stir just as slowly and genll{ as you know how, and just the minute the dusty coating is turned under give another shake at your sifter. To get the flour all in with- out stirring is the point. With this care our mixture does not settle and diminish in bulk. “‘Now I take this square pan, which you see has a square funnel in it, and I gentl, spoon my mixture in until it is one-half the depth of the pan. If the cake is per- fectly made it should double its size ex- actly, that is. come to the very top of the pan. “No, I do not grease the pans. grease pans for delicate cakes. “But the cake is ready for the oven, Now, the oven heat must be very gentle. I have turned down the gas until just the faintest glimmer is seen among the bricks. If we had a thermometer the oven would register only 5 degrees, I know it is about that, because when T dash in a few drops of water they sizzle lazily, not spitefully, and do not curl up into furious little balls. But I take still further precaution and fold half a dozen thicknesses of Knper and lay on the bottom of the oven, and set the pan on this. Next I place this tin cover gently on the pan, resun% it lightly. “Now, I will leave my cake covered in the oven for half an hour, after that time remove the lid and bake twenty minutes longer, always maintaining the same gen- tle, steady heat.” e A hall porter in a London club confesses to having gained $7500 a year in tips for some years, S I never AUCTION SALES.

Foryears | 1 have been almost a constant sufferer | from nervousness, general debility and prostration, in all of its forms, shooting pains all over my body at times. | “I tried many different doctors of the | country and spent considerable money and got only temporary relief at the time. And thanks to the Hudson Medical Insti- tute for my present health. Have been under their treatment now about four or five months and feel like a young person, and, in fact, I feel like a different person and hold some pleasure in life. I feel it my duty to tell you, and, in fact, to tell suffering humanity, that they can get relief and get cured if they will put themselves under your treatment. “I know not what to say strong enough to express my gratitnde to the Hudson | Medical Institute for my present good | health. I am 65 years old and was reduced { down at one time to 150 pounds, and now | I can tip the scales at 180 pounds. That is : as much as I ever weighed when I was | young and in vigorous health. |w “Will send my photograph with it. Most respectfully yours, L. M. CurisTIE.” TO-DAY. EAT STRE NGTH.
