Ladies Disagree. The remarks of Mrs. I. L. Requa regard- ing the unpleasantness about the rules of the club are vehemently resented by other members of this organization. Mre. Wheaton deciares that for a city of its size Oakland bas more good social en- tertainment than San Francisco. “I re- gret that the matter should have been made public,” she said to-day, “as Iam sure each side is acting according to its conscience. I am sure that many of the criticisms are undeserved. I do not think it can possibly affect Mrs. Requa’s friend- ship for us all.” _ Mrs. Prentiss Selby says it was under- stood that the Satarday night cotillon should close at 11 o’clock. : That hour will ailow the young ladies 8 be home before Sunday morning. “I greatly regret that Mrs. Requa should have said so much,” said s, Relby, “*but we certainly were obliged to stand together for what we know to be Although Mrs. Requa, who organized the club, has resigned as president, her successor has not been elected. Carpenters’ Union. The Carpenters’ Union of Oakland, which meets in California Hall, has grown 80 rapidly that the present accommoda- tions can” hardly contain the regular at- tendance. The union was organized about jour months ago and there were thirty- two charter members. Now there are eight times that number, and twenty new members were enrolled at last night's meeting.

He was se- cured, wrapped in a blanket and sent to the County Jail. Clary said that the devils were chasing him and that if he took his clothes off their darts could not pierce him. The morning was bitterly cold, but Clary did not seem to be aware of the fact. No trace of his clothes was found and it is not known how many hours he had \;;ecu in the chilly toolhouse when ound.

ALAMEDK CITY LW, | Interesting Discoveries Are Made Through Some Old Maps. & ¥ under | F. Greenwald Arrested on a Charge of Embezzlement — A Painter’s | | | | Narrow Escape. | | | ALAMEDA, Nov. 7.—The tracks of the | Califorma Railway across Park street, near the tidal canal, are not in the city limits. City Attorney Taylor and Engi- | neer Payzer have investigated the matter, | which was referred to them by the City | Trustees at their last meeting. They spent several hours in the County Recorder’s | office yesterday, and found an old map of center of which marks the northern city limits. The slough was filled up when the | tidal canal was excavated, and the north- | ern boundary for some unaccountable rea- son was not described according to angles and degrees. The northern city limits follow the center of Harrison street, and the railroad tracks in question are noj | within the city limits. City Attorney Taylor drafted a doc ument and submitted it to the Alameda delegation 1n the last Legislature which would extend the city limits so as to include the south banks of { the tidal canal, but for some reason the easure was not even introduced.. The Attorney states that the only way by which the city can obtain jurisdiction over the strip is for one or two persons to live on the strip until a residence is ac- quired and call an election. Charged With Embezzlement. F. Greenwald was arrested this. morning by Ofticer Conrad on a charge of embezzle- ment preferred by the Columbia Coffee and | Spice Company of San Francisco. Green- wald is a married man and resides at 1144 Broadway. He stated to a reporter to-day that he had been employed by the Colum- bia Coffee and Spice Company for the past year as a traveling salesman and that they did not allow him enough money for his traveling expenses. He furiher stated that he had trouble with them once before on account of their refusal to allow expenses | actually incurred on his trip, but rather | than lose his position agreed that the | amount they claimed he embezzled shouid be charged to hisaccount and deduct $50 monthly from his salary untit the claim had been liquidated. ‘Greenwald tele- graphed his resignation from Denver on the 18th of last month and asked for money to come home on. He claims that §25 was sent him and be refused it. A Painter Injured. Sign Painter Augustine had a narrow escape from _helngiihed this morning by his wagon being overturned by an electric car. He was thrown out in front of the car, but the motorman succeeded in bring- ing the car to a standstill before running over him. He sustained a deep zash over his left eye, his body was badly bruised and one of his wrists sprained. The horse ran away and wreckea the wagon by col- liding with a coal team. Robbed in Daylight. The home of August Hendrickson, who lives over a saloon across the tidal canal bridge, was burglarized yesterday after- noon. His son returned from ~school about 8 o'clock, and finding that his mother was not home, went to meet her as she was returning from the market. When they reached home the rear door had been broken open and the place ran- sacked. ettt Souch Paid the Fine. Joseph Souch, the young Frenchman convicted of stealing flowers from Mrs, Stanley Stephenson’s flower garden, paid his fine of $60. About a year ago the same garden was robbad, among a number of others, and it is believed that Souch was the thief;as he was formerly a resident here. . Automatic Gongs.

Gable, '98, is the victim, and his loss 1s a handsome gold watch, valuable in itself and highly prized by its owner as a seuvenir. Mr. Gable left his keysin his locker, and it is supposed that the thief took advantage of the opportunity to go through the contents of the drawers. Gable immediately notified the Chief of Police of Oakland, but has little hope of recovering his property. More Water Mains. A movement is on foot to secure more water mains in West Berkeley. There are at present a number of wells in that sec- tion of the town, owing to the lack of an adequate water supply through the regu- lar mains, and it is believed that such wells are a source of disease and are responsible *s of typhoid fever that have oc- | curred in West Berkeloy during the past | year. Health Officer Ruwell will petition | the Board of Trustees to-night to make ar- rangements with the water company to have mains laid.

The story came to light through the fact presents, that I, ing 1 the city of Shelby F. Martin. that the affairs of both parties, with regard to the contract, were placed in the hands of attorneys. The marriage was arranged at the Maison Piedmont, a restaurant on Washington street, on March 27, 1890, Martin asserted that the marriage had not been consummated and Miss Valerie Hickethier or Mrs. Martin went tolive with her sister. She produced letters that fuily established her claim to wifehood as far as Martin was concerned. Among these ietters the most convincing was the fol- lowing: My Dear Wije: Yours just received and wa very glad to leain that everything was satis- factory, fhowing as it does how often we Lo row trouble unnecessarily. I just steal this time to drop a line, but wish I had more tim that I might try and tell my dear little wife how often I think of her and "how much I love her. Until Sunday I remain as ever, your husband, SHEL. Nothing more was thought of the story until this morning, when Mrs. Martin was found by her sister dead in bed. Her niece had just left her bedside to tell Mrs, Schroeder, with whom she was staying, that her aunt wished a cup of coffe When the request was complied with Valerie Martin was dead. Her death caused no surprise, as heart disease proved fatal to her mother, and Valerie had frequently betrayed symptoms of that disease. ‘When Shelby Martin was seen to-night | he said that he had nothing to say in re- gard to Miss Hickethier. It was hinted to-day that the lady had committed suicide, but nothing was found that could substantiate the statement. An autopsy will be held to-morrow morning and the inquest will follow. RECENED ITS CHARTER, A Berkeley Fraternity Incorpor- ated in the National Body.. BERKELEY, Nov. 7.—At the National Convention of the Delta Upsilon, Fra- ternity, which met at De Pauw University late in October, a charter was granted to the local fraternity of Omega Alpha at the University of Califorma and to the Stan- ford local Alpha Upsilon. Delta Upsilon was founded at Williame College in 1834, gongs at the curve near Mastick station and Morton street on the narrow-gauge. as an open, non-secret fraternity.

Quite a sum was realized for the stu- dents’ scholarship loan fund by the sale of tickets for the benefit arranged for October , but which did not oceur owing to the idden death of Professor J. A. Rosewald. Six hundred and thirty tickets were sold, and though the concert did not take place only twelve were returned for a re- fund of the purchase money. There is, therefore, $302 55 remaining to be placed to the credit of th:e students’ fund. Liquor-Dealers Raided.

The Teachers Have Three Ex- citing Days With Their Blue Warrants. BROKERS WON'T TOUCH THEM. The City Owes About $350,000 for Sal- aries and Money Awaits That 4 Decision. There has been excitement, anxiety and distress in the School Department from the 5th to the 7th of this month, in- clusive. There was reason for it, too, for the sixty-ninth teacher that reached the Treasurer’s window with her salary war- rant before school time last Tuesday morning, teachers’ pay day, was told that the money had given out and that the City wonld pay her as soon as it could get out of a little trouble and make scme collec- tions. The demands of the School Department are paid from a special and not from the general fund, and when the time came to meet the October salary warrants there was between $3000 and $4000 available. When regular wages are being paid the teachers draw about $70,000 a month. The H 25 per cent cut in October salaries made by | the Board of Education left about $55,600 due from the treasury, and the change left in Mr. Widber's School Department t:]l was enough to cash only the first sixty- | eight salary demands presented. Then the other 725 teachers were left. Only a comparatively small number of teachers know much about money-brokers who will let City employes divide their salaries with them, and what to do with their blue papers they didn’t know. On Wednesday rumors and gossip filled | the pedagogical world, and the repors | spread that Max Goldberg and other | brokers wouldn’t touch the warrants at | all. TLat was a fact, and it is a fact now, and it naturally increased the alarm | among the teachers, During Wednesday | and Thursday nearly 300 teachers stormed | Goldberg’s office on Kearny street out of school Eours. Other brokers refused them, too, and the situation became more alarming. | Some teachers abused the Democratic | party, some the Republican, some Mr. | Butro_when it was understood that he {caused the trouble, some suspected that the Board of Education was responsible, | and some wondered if it wasn't a result of | the mess about the superintendency. It takes time for some information to get clearly aud correctly all through the School Department by message and verbal | report, and it was not until yesterday afternoon that it became at all generally known that relief had appeared in an offer of the Bank of California to cash all teach- ers’ salary warrants at one and a half per cent discount, simply as an accommoda- | tion to the teachers. | The bank mentioned will cash all teach- | ers’ warrants for October, the sitnation has | cleared and the teachers are grateful. For similar reasons this bank has been cashing warrants of the Police and Tire depart- ments for two months, but these warrants have been, by arrangeisent, received and | | cashed in large bunches from the depart- | ment chiefs. When the bank notified Secretary Beanston of the Board of Educa- tion on Wednesday of its willingness to grant the accommodation 1t was requested that warrants from each school be col- Jected and sent by the principal; But as the bank rumor spread teachers hurriedly flocked there instead with their individual warrants. As many of them are for $46 87, $81 32, and so on, this made it hard on the note department, but none are refused. A little trouble that is developing con- | siderable gossip among the teachers has appeared in conaection with this matter. Several teachers who went to the treas- urer’s office and went out again have com- lained to two or three members of the ard that a few teachers got their war- rants on last Monday, the 4th, the day before the warrants should be given out under the rules, and were able to get in on that $3000 that Widber bad left in the safe. The 5th of each month is the regular day | for the teachers to get their warrants. It | was complained that a few teachers had friends in the secretary’s office who knew | how things stood and slipped them their warrants in advance. This is not thought to be nice or right and it will probably be brought up at the next meeting of the board. Treasurer Widber, who has noth- mg w do with the matter at issue, said | vesterday that seven or eight teachers’ warrants were registered and paid on pre- | sentation on the dth. The teachers’ salary trouble is but one | feature, and not the biggest one, of the present municipal salary mess that has resulted frong the tax-levy litigation. The | City owes it employes abour §$350,000 for | the months of September and October, and when, it wiil be paid depends on the Supreme Court decision on the tax levy. he School Department fund 1s a special one, and one to which the Treasurer is authorized by law to lend money from | any other fund. Hence the teachers nearly always get their mopey. It has ! lasted till now, when there is no money anywhere to borrow for it. The park fund |is a special fund, too, but moneys cannot | | be transferred to it. It afforded money for park salaries for September, but the park employes will bave to do what they can with their October warrants. The average monthly 'Fark salaries are approximately $12,000. The employes of other departments are paid out of the gen- eral fund, so the City owes the officials and employes of these departments fo both September and October. The amoun due is about $140,000 per month, or $280,000 | for the two months. Thus within a little over thirty days nct\r]fi $2350,000 worth of salary warrants have been abandoned to the devices of the City’s servants, to whom they have been given. he Bank of California has a large athounf of money invested in September and October warrants and other banks have small amounts. But few employes hold their warrants.

Meanwhile | demands are being registered, and, as I | say, there will be plenty of morey to pay them in their order by the beginning of December, at Jleast if the levy is pro- nounced legal. If the levy is overthrown there will be much trouble and uncer- tainty, and serious complications may arise. The time when taxes will be delin- quent will be near, and if the present levy were not passed over the Mayor's veto, which is the point at issue, and a new levy ordered the Auditor would have to make out from the Assessor's hooks complete new lists of the taxes due from 51,000 tax- pavers, and he might not have time to do Itis the bare possibility of the levy be- ing declared illegal that has scared the leading warrant-brokers out of the busi- ness until things are settled.

Howell’s Case Will Be Tried on the 14th Inst. Before Judge Morrow. When the case of Martin D. Howell, charged with counterfeiting, was called in the United States District Court vesterday Judee Morrow granted the defense a con- {-tinuance for one week, but set the case peremptorily for trial on the 14th inst. United States Attorney Foote was pres- ent and stated that he would assume super- vision over the case and see that the evidence which Secret. Service Agent Harris has been so painstakingly accu- :Eul?ling is comprehensively placed before e jury. The new evidenceffo.and recently by Mr. Harris is believed Lv that official to insure a conviction, and the fact that Howell has been tried twice without a verdict being reached is not regarded by the agent as any argument against keeping the case before the court. He cites the case of Abe Jones, the counterfeiter, who, after the jury had twice disagreed, was convicted, two wit- nesses who attempted to prove an alibi being sent to San Quentin to keep lum company.. HORSEMEN ARE ARRIVING Edward Corrigan, the Chicago Turfman, Gets in With His Big Stable. Other Eastern Horses Here and More on the Way—Current Gossip of the Turf.

In tke string of the latter horseman is the great sprinter O’Connell.

Smith (Pittsburg Phil), who is now the cowner of the sprinter Wernberg, recently | ‘Purchased at the McLaughlin sale for 500. P.

Al Coney, who with James Neil are the owners of Perhaps, made a big clean-up by the gelding’s win yesterday. Al needed a hushel basket to hold the twenties when he cashed his vickets. s A Bustle’s Transformation. Some years ago it chanced that in a barrel of clothing received by a missionary inthe South for distribution among the poor nezroes a wire bustle was found. The mis- sionary threw it aside as of no use, but an aged negro saw it and inquired if he could have if. *“Why, yes; certainly you can have it, Mr. Jackson,”” was the missionary’s reply. “No doubt you can make use of the wires in some way."” The next Sunday Mrs. Jackson appeared at the little mission church in a huge, much-bedecked bonnet that fixed all eyes upon her and made her the envy of all the sisters present. The missionary regarded the gay bonnet with mingled surprise and dismay. After the service she called Mrs. Jackson aside and her first question was: “‘S8ee here, Mrs, Jackson, where aid you get that dreadful bonnet?” “W'y laws, Miss Jones, I made dis yer bonnet my own se’f, an’ I nebbah spent no money on hit. De trimmin’s I had in de stating that the horses belonging | DON'T BREAK DOWN. So Many Men and Womea Do When It Is Entirely Needless. Strong men often die early, not because their vital forces are exhausted but because they abuse their powers, waste their energies and break down their constitutions. Hence, care- ful people often live long. while people who are robust but rash go down to early graves. But, strange as it may seem, many men_and women by adopting the right means have been able to_overcome dangerous ailments ihat would have killed the strongest man. With care, they bave eventually gained s remark- able' degree of health and yigor. Some inter- esting exampies of this fact have recently come to light, among which are the following: Miss Anna Maxey of South Solon, Ohio, re- i suffered from nervous pros ian and sleeplessness following spell of sickness until my life was despaired of. 1 ok the pest tonics my physic ould pre- scribe, without receiving the least benefit. Finally he advised me to take a course of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. I did so, and am now able to eat well, sleep well and am rapidly gaining strength.” Mr. J. M. Geverick of Harrisburg, Pa., says: ““For several years | was in yvery bad health, as my work is very confining and I do not get enough exereise to digest my food. By taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, however, I ex- {wricucefl # remarkable change. I now feel better than I ever felt before. Ihonestly be- lieve there is nothing better for an appetizer and strengthener.” People in sound health and people who do not feel as well as they ought to feel rofit- ably heed these words. They are sufficient to prove that both as a prevention and a eure this remarkal whiskey is absolutely unequaled. On this account, it is important to see that no inferior imitation is substituted when order- t or grocer.
