The Pacific Athletlc Association Appoints Committees for This Beason. 8. A. Ambrosewf, the doctor who claimed to be a Russian nobleman, was found sterday morning in the Police t of practicing medicine without a license. Judge Wood based his decision on the fact that the doctor had not secured a license from the State Board of Medical ixaminers, without which he violated the law. The defendant was given five days be- fore the passing of sentence in order that he might have time to prepare a motion for a new trial. New Athletic Park. Oakland is to have an athletic ond R park sec- to_none on the coas . M. Fitzger- P. Bowles and W. Pierce, three alis have formed a syndicate to nase twenty acres of land from J. E. embracing five blocks between venue and Grove street, in the , a short distance north of Temescal. The deed has been made out and it is expected the formal transfer will be made on Monday. The grounds are admirably situated for an athletic par] They can be reached by both the Telegraph avenue and the Oak- land Consolidated lines in less thau fifteen minutes from the heart of Oakland. The place is free from cold winds. Plans of the large athletic parks in the t are being considered 5o as to get the st arrangement available. It is under- 00d that work will be commenced _very Toon, 5o as to have the grounds ready for the fall football games. New Railroad Hospital.

Considerable street work is now being done in Berkeley and old residents of the town declare that the improvements at present under way exceed anything of the kind ever before undertaken at this season of the year. Many streets are being graded and put into condition for macadamizing. Yekterday the Superintendent of Streets posted notices to the effect that four more thoroughfares 1n the residence portion of town would be sewered, graded, curbed and sidewalked. San Pablo avenue has been graded, but there being a misunderstanding about the macadamizing, the contractor has refused to enter into the contract for that part of the work, A large force of men are at work putting in a concrete culvert across Oxford street, which will act as a conduit for Strawberry Creek, the stream which flows through the university grounds.

William Morris acquitted yesterday | on the charge of having struck the son of Jeweler Frodsham with the lash of his whip on Wednesday, after having been pelted with green apples on Santa Clara avenue. Young Frodsham showed a dis- coloration on the right side, but it wasa question whether it was not received in scaling the fence in evading pursuit, and Morris received the beneft of the doubt.

Gossip About a Marriage Feast Causes Ill Feellng Among Church Members. Society at Elmhurst, a quiet burg on the San TLeandro road, is standing over a smoldering volcano which is likely to break into an eruption at any moment, and the gossips of that pretty town have a story to discuss which will last them for many days to come. Early in June Thomas Preston and Miss Edwards, two society young people of Elmhurst, were married amid much re- joicing of friends and relatives. The fes- tivities of the occasion were the talk of the community. Encouraged by the social success of the gathering, a second entertainment was prepared, and out of this grew the trouble that is shocking the community to its very foundations. Soon after the second dinner ramors be- gan to float about that on that occasion Mrs.'Simonton, the wife of the Postmaster, had taken a few more glasses of reiresh. ments than were really necessary. The rumors were finally traced to Mrs. Charles Rice and Mrs. W. A. Smith, and consider- able ill-feeling between the families of Smith, Simonton and Rice was engendered. This feeling was heightened on June 29, when Mrs. Smith’s husband, who is a pil- lar of the church, had a personal encounter with Postmaster Simonton, in which the latter’s wife joined. Mr. Smith entered the office whistling and was ordered to desist by the Postmas- ter. He refused to do so and was assaulted by the angry United States official. Mrs. Simonton 1s said to have taken an active part in the fracas, which was ‘very much one-sided from the fact that Mr. Smith from his religious leanings refused to de- fend himself and took his chastisement meekly. After that the people of Elmhurst were prepared for almost anything and were not surprised when the denouement came, On _the morning of the Fourth of July, hanging in front of one of the principal business houses, was found an efligy, dressed in feminine apparel and labeled as follow Gossipers of Elmhurst, beware. WHITECAPS, Near by was a board shaped like & tomb- stone on which was painted a verse couched in languaze more forcible than elegant, in which Mrs. Rice’s name was mentioned. | Now the good people of Elmhurst are Jooking for further developments, for the friends of Mrs. Rice and na Smith are making a_determined effort to ascertain who placed the figure and tomb- stone there, and are vowing vengeance on the perpetrators. Not only has the episode disrunted so- ciety, butit threatens to tear asunder the church congregation to which the Smiths and Simontons belong. Since the fight in the postoffice M monton;has refused to attend services, and in spite of the efforts of the pastor insists on remaining away. Her friends are defending ber position, while those of Mrs. Smith declare that 1t is a good thing for the church that she does stay away. Diviep Hoxors IN RAILWAY PROPUL- stox.—The burning question of the day in electrical and railroad circles is the relative part which steam and electricity are to play in the railroad traffic of the future. Out of the engrossing and exhaustive dis- cussion of this subject which has lately been in progress the public is, at length, beginning to form a definite idea of the outlook. The problem for which a solu- tion has been desired is “Steam or Elec- tricity?” The solution reached is “Steam and Electricity.” As Frank ). Sprague puts it, the questionjnarrows itself down to the number of train units operated be- tween terminal points. Make that num- ber sufficiently large and the electric mo- tor is the best means of propulsion, whether for high or low speed. Decrease this num- ber and you must rely on steam. In other words, electricity will but partially take the place of the steam locomotive for railway service, and then only when the number of units operated between terminal points is so large that the resulting economy will pay a reasonable interest on the combined cost of a central station system of con- ductors and the motor equipment, and the traffic existing is commensurate with the needs of such a system. Mr. Sprague urges the putting aside of ‘‘some of the visionary grophecies concerning electric railways.” he future of the electric railway is not in the wholesale destruction of existing great systems. Itis in the development of a field of its own, with recognized limita- tions, but of vast possibilities. It will re- place the locomotive on many suburban and branch lines; it will operate almost all street-railway systems and elevated and underground roads; it will prove a valuable nuxniaay to trunk systems; but it has not sounded the death-knell of the locomotive any more than the dynamo has sounded that of the stationary steam engine. Each has its own legitimate field in the traction work of the future. Tue ErEcTROTHERM: AN ELECTRIC HEAT- NG Pap.—The fact that asbestos plays a remarkably useful part in eleqtrical work is not generally recognized. For purposes of insulation this unique material meets the most exacting requirements, and its use by electricians is daily increasing. Its latest application is in the “‘electrotherm,” the new device which has already begun to take the place of hot-water bottles in hospitals and invalid chambers. The elec- trotherm is a flexible sheet or pad, com- posed of asbestos in which electric wires are embedded. When these wires are con- nected to any sonrce of electric current a constant and uniforic degree of heat is generated. For this connection the socket of an electric lamp is ordinarily found most convenient, but where the lighting current is not available batteries can be used. The ad is found a great convenience in the re- ief of fieneml chilliness, cold feet, etc., as well as in cramps an other local pains, and in general hospital ractice. By ‘its wuse the risk and iscomfort of frequent changes of temperature incident to the renewal of or- dinary hot applications are entirely obvi- ated. It can be moistened without injury, and it can be made to give the effect of a poultice or moist heat by being applied over one or more thicknesses of wet flan- nel. Itcan be used by any one with per- | fect safety, &nd its simplicity and conveni- ence wherever the application of artificial heat is desired render it especially valu- able for medical use. The regulation of the temperature is affected by a conveni- ently placed switch. Pads can thus be maintained at approximately 130, 170 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit whea covered with ordinary bed-elothiz:f. but these tempera- tures can be modified by the interposition o those of Mrs. | of a blanket, or raised by additional cov- erings. This new adaptation of the prin- ciple of electric heating is made in various forms, from the simple pad, which lends itself to all ordinary uses, and the wicker- covered mat, or foot-warmer, to a cape- tike covering, which will completely en- wrap the neck and the upper part of the body. Tur Pray or CoLors IN THE ELECTRIC Furyace.—One of the most beautiful pro- cesses in modern metallurgy is the melting of certain metals in the electric furnace, and it is now possible to project upon a screen every phase of such an operation. Some idea of the wonderful play of colored light, which thus becomes so toned down as to be tolerable to the naked eye, may be formed by a description lately given by Professor Roberts-Austen of the projection of an electric furnace during the melting of metallic chromium. Asthe current is turned on the interior of the furnace ap- pears as a dark crater, the dull red poles revealing the metallic luster and gray shadows of the metal beneath them. Soon these poles are tipped with w zling white, and in the course of a feW% minutes the temperature has risen to about 2500 de- grees C. A lambent halo of green blue now encircles each vole, the central band of the arc changing rapidly from peach- blossom to lavender and purple. As it becomes necessary to lengthen the are, and the poles are drawn further and further asunder, the_irregular masses of chromium fuse in silver droplets in the midst of light changing from intense blue to green of lustrous emerald. Then the last fragments of chromium dis- solve into a shining sheet, which reflects the glowing poles in green and gold shot with orange hues. Professor Roberts-Aus- ten adds: “Still a few minutes later, as the chromium burns, a shower of brilliant sparks of metal are projected from the fur- nace amid the clouds of russet or brown vapors which wreathe the little crater; while, if the current is broken, and the light dies out, you wish that Turner had painted the limpid tints, and that Ruskin might describe their loveliness. The effect when either tungsten or silver replaces chromium is much_the same, but in the latter case the glowing lake is more bril- liant in its turbulent boiling, and blue vapors rise to be condensed in iridescent beads of distilled silver, which stud the crater-wall.” €57 Tae CAUSE OF DEATH :N¥ ELECTRIC SHOCK.— The theory of the disintegrating effect of the electric current upon brain and nerve tissues in persons electrocuted has been controverted by Dr. A. M. Bleile. Dr. Bleile holds that death in electric shock is entirely owing to the contraction of the arteries produced by the current through its influence on the nervous system. The effect of this constriction is that the heart fails in its attempt to overcome the me- chanical impediment arising from the greatly retarded tiow of blood. In the course of investigations on this subject it has been found that when drugs have been given to counteract the constrictive effect of the current much larger doses of elec- tricity than the ordinary can be borne. This fact cannot but have a bearing upon the much disputed question of resuscita- tion after electrocution. Notwithstandin the apparently conclusive testimony whicfi has been given on this subject, it is still believed by some medical experty that given a criminal who had an exceptional capacity for resisting the electric shock— and this capacity varies in every one—and let his power of resistance be further in- creased by a timely dose of the drugs men- tioned, the effect of the electrocuting cur- rent would be o far modified as to make it possible to resuscitate the body after the execution, even though signs of apparent death were exhibited. ELecTRIC POWER A SALABLE COMMODITY.— An incident is reported from Niagara Falls which illustrates the readiness of manufacturers to utilize electric power. It has been generally expected that Buffalo would be a large user of the electric power generated by the Cataract Company at Niagara Fails. Considerable delay bas taken place in the negotiations between the city and the company for the power, and in the meantime another customer has arisen. According to a Buffalo paper, ‘‘while Buffalo is dickering for Niagara Falls power and talking about impossible restrictions, Depew has made a bid for it, and literally goes half way to get it. In all probability Depew will get the power before Buffalo does.” Depew, a growing town, eight miles from Buffalo, actually stepped in and pre-empted a large amount of the power for which Buffalo was some- what too complacently bargaining. The town has large locomotive-shops, counler works, ete. TeLepHONE MEessaces Must Be Kepr Se- CRET.—An act has been approved by the Governor of the State of New York requir- ing employes of telephone companies, on and after September 1 next, to be as secret- ive rcgarding the nature of their business as are the men and women who handle telegraphic messages. The act makes it unishable by a maximum fine of $1000 or y imprisonment for not more than six months for any person to wrongfully ob- tain, or attempt to obtain, any knowledge of a telegraphic ar telephonic message by connivance with a clerk, operator, messen- ger or other employe of a telegraph or tele- phone company. The same punishment may fall on the operator or other employe of the telegraph or telephone company who willfully divulges to any one but the person for whom it was intended the con- tents or the nature of any message or dis- atch intrusted to him for transmission or Se!ivery. The same penalties attach to re- fusal or neglect of an employve to transmit or deliver such message, or the aiding or abetting of any unlawful business or + traffic. THuE SPEED oF ELrcTrIcITY.—The speed of electricity under the most favorable con- ditions is now estimated to be 180,000 miles a second. What this enormous speed im- plies is somewhat dimly suggested by an illustration recently used by the eminent scientist, Sir Robert Ball. Suppose thal a row of telegraph posts 25,000 miles long were erected aronnd the earth at the equator. Suppose that a wire were stretched upon these posts for this circuit of 25,000 mires. and that then another com- plete circuit was taken with the same wire around the same posts, and then another, and yet another. In fact, let the wire be wound no fewer than seven times com- pletely about this great globe. We should then find that an electric signal sent into the wire at one end would accomplish the seven circuits in one second of time.

The Carp’s Fate in Pennsylvania. The German carp has been tottering for many moons on the pedestal to which he was exalted by amateur fishermen three or four years ago. The signing of the bill by Governor Hastings withdrawing pro- tection from the carp completed its down- fall, and now the foreigner is nothing but a piscatorial pariah—an outcast in the world of waters. If the solemn word of fishermen can be taken as fact, the affair is as it should be, and the sooner he is totally exterminated and driven out of these waters the better it will be for the ye:é:e of mind ot fish who are really fit for 0od. The carp multiplies at a terrific rate, eats all the ugnwn ot other fish, and besides that is no better than a red-handed assas- sin, for ne will permit no other fish to live in the same pond with himself. Asa food fish the carp is a fraud, and is soft and flabby to a disgusting aegree. Now if the lawmakers will only put a price upon the pugnacious carp, there may yet come sun. shine to native fish and the dejected dis- Cir‘él" of Izaak Walton.—Philadelphia Rec- ord. ; ———— The amount of capital in the book busi- ness is believed to be double what it was twenty years ago. MR, DOHRMANN PROTESTS He Takes Mr. Ashworth to Task for Unfair Rejection of Work Done. WHAT SOME FIGURES SHOW. The Merchants’ Association Aiming at the Best of Work, Even at a Loss. President F. W. Dohrmann of the Mer- chants’ Association does not propose to have Street Superintendent Ashworth arbi- trarily and unjustly reject the street- sweeping done by the association without a protest. 5 On Tuesday Mr. Ashworth indulged in a wholesale rejection of the work done on the streets in that portion of the City bounded by Powell, Market, McAllister, Van'Ness and Sutter streets, and yesterday he objected to some of the work done on the south side of Market street, below Eighth, where the cobblestones are numer- ous, and also on Larkin street and on Pa- cific avenue in the Western Addition. His latter treatment of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation was not quite so bad as the former. In that case he rejected an entire district becanse of some faulty work in a few places, and _insisted that he had a perfect right 80 to do. ] The Merchants’ Association has placed its position in this matter on record in a letter to Mr. Ashworth, in which it says: Recognizing it as your duty to reject any un- satisfactory work, and fully aware that our employes with the best of instructions and in- tentions may occasionally fall short of the proper standard, we do not object to the rejec- tion of any bad or even doubtinl work, and we any favor or exception for our asso- vork in this respect. But we earnest- 1y protest against wholesale and arbitrary re- jection of an entire district when but a small portion is not fully satisfactory. Mr. Dohrmann said he did not have any complaint on any proper and warranted criticism which the Street Superintendent might make; in fact, he believed that was the proper thing to do. "e\’hat we want is to see a high standard of street cleaning kept up in this City; that is what we are in this business for, and so long as Mr. Ashworth is rejecting faulty work on behalf of the pubfic good, and with & view to the maintaining of a high standard of cleanliness in the future. he is acting quite in harmony with our purpose. But, 181t fair to reject good work because some poor work has been done? “Let me give you some figures which can show just how the association fre- quently comes out of a night's work on some portion of the City, and bear in mind that our aim is quality rather than quan- tity. “‘On Monday night it cost the association $96 for the machines on the work Mr. Ash- worth rejected and $9 40 for extra men to clean up the dirt it left behind. We swept 74 square yards, for which we receive 30 cents for 1000 square yards, viz.: $57 83, leaving a total loss to us of $47 57. Last night (Thursday) it cost the asso- ciation $105 75—$94 50 for machines and $11 for an extra crew to follow—and we cleaned 223,806 square yards for a return of $67 14, our loss being $38 61. “So you see we are doing conscientious work. But understand me, we are not complaining of any rejection by Mr. Ash- worth when it is justifiable. What we pro- test against is any eeying rejection of good and bad work alike.” An inspection was made by two of the directors of the association yesterday of the work last rejected by Mr. Ashworth, and if they find in their report that his action was unwarranted an appeal will” be taken to the Board of Supervisors. ‘‘When the kinds of street pavement with which the Merchants’ Association has to deal,” said Mr. Dobrmann, “particularly the cobble- stone kind, is considered, Mr. Ashworth should not indulge a hypercritical ten- dency. The animus is too apparent.” Brain Workers pronounce THE IDEAL TONIC Unequaled by anything in Fortifying, Strengthening and Refreshing Body and Brain < Mailed Free. ‘ Descriptive Book with Testimony and Portraits OF NOTED CELEBRITIES.
