A strange gonditjon of affairs has been discovered in regayd to the Brush-street Y‘uay. but Lady Douglas was her mother's | guest. Lady Douglas has a new grievance. | She recently saw in a newspaper pictures | showing the “seven ages of Lady Sholto | Douglas.” “In that horrible print,” said her Lady- ship, ‘I was represented as a little girl, | barefooted, with a pail; then as a little urchin, with a shanty and a lone goat, and $0 on up to my marriage. Why do they say such mean things about people? Un- | less I can say something pleasant. about anybody I keep my mouth shut. When I was living with my parents and when 1 was young I was as well off as I am now. Some reporters are beasts.” Mother-in-law Addis is also greatly an- noyed at the ‘‘Seven Ages” ecartoon and says itis a shame. “My daughter was born,” she said, ‘‘on Myrtle street, near Twenty-second. The house is still there, Bhe was born about eighteen yearsago, The house was the first in the vicinity. It was large and comfortable and contained twelve or fourteen rooms. I am going to have a picture of that house printed to disprove the other shameful story. We never lived in a shanty, and such reflec- tions are horrible.” Lady Douglas had one more parting shot at Oakland as she eat her turkey. “I am not going to play in Oakland,”, she said. ’*They will not pay me what 1 want and I will not play unless I get what 1 ask.” e Movements of Trana-Atlantic Steamor) NEW YORK—Arrived Nov 29—Stmr Wilhelm I1, from Bremen and Southampton: stmr Lucania, from Liverpool and Quetnstown: stmr Corean, 'trom Glasgow and Moville; stmr Saale, from Mediterranean ports.

NOMNS SEEKS K DNORCE The Wealthy Young Oaklander Sues to Get Rid of His Wife. His Plea Is He Was Under Age When He Married Miss Potter of St. Louis. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 29.—S8uit has been brought by Fred Stuart Adams through his guardian, James C. Adams, the result of which, if successful, will sever the marriage relations between young | Adams and his wife. As the plaintiff is a minor he could not bring suit for divorce without admitting that he had committed perjury when he took out the marriage license at Martinez. The suit was of such a peculiar nature that the County Clerk sought legal advice before he wouid file 1t. He was advised that it was equivalent to a divorce suit | and as such must be placed on the secret | file. Judge Charles N. Fox of San Fran- cisco is the attorney, and it is alleged that Adams was under age at the time of the marriage; that he was under the influence of Miss Metta J. Potter,and that the woman calling herself his wife bLas no right to the name. Fred Adams was married to Miss Potter at Martinez May 30, but not till September 12 was the marriage known to his family. Mr. and Mrs. Adams entered into an agreement that the marriage should be kept & strict secret until the young man attained his majority. He would then come into the possession of his fortune of $150,000 and could ao as he pleased with it. The Adams family moyesin the very top- most ranks of Oakland society. There are five sons and two daughters. Two of the sons are married and reside in San Fran- cisco, and one daughter is the wife of John P. Jackson Jr. of Los Angeles. The mother and father are dead, and the other children keep house in the old Oakland homestead %n téxe most stylish quarter of West Oak- and. Fred Adams is a brother-in-law of Sen- ator Perkins’ daughter, and as such he was a welcome guest at all the social functions which took place at the Sen- ator's home. Here he met Miss Potter. After an aquaintance of three weeks came the secret marriage, and then there was trouble. The gossips commenced to talk about the conduct of the lady from St. Louis. They said that she was altogether too free with the Adams youth, and the; could not understand her actions. It looked as though she was going to be asked by her landlady to seek new quar- ters, when as a matter of self-protection There | 1 believe the man is not right in | his mind, and is really dangerous to be at | been married in. that city. She came to California about two years ago. She told a few of her intimate friends that her hus- band was dead, and then she passed her- self off as Miss . Isabelle Potter. From a dashing widow she developed into a schoolgirl and entered a convent at San Rafael, where she studied for a year. Then she went to a convent in San Fran- cisco, where she again studied for a time. Six months ago she left the convent and gained entree into Oakland society, where | she met young Adam: | About two months ago the hoy petitioned | the court to appoint bis brother guardian. | He stated that he would not be of age for | several months. The petition was granted | and since that time Fred has not been permitted to go near his wife. Hisbrother, whe'is his gnardian, has been making in- quiries into the past history of the wife, and this_history figures in’the suit filed to-day. Mrs. Potter Adams said to-night that she had not yet seen the suit, but the | | ik otherwise acted unbecomin%vly The n- brarian, however, bhaving his attention called to these charges, declares that he has seen nothing to bear them out, and the police think the statement is grossly overdrawn. They say there 1s no such gen- eral condition of immoral carrying on; that on the contrary girls when they ap- pear upon the street, whether in daytime or at night, are particularly well behaved. Mrs, Jumison’s charges will be further considered at a meeting of the Mothers’ and Teachers’ Club to be held in January. Helping Out Oakland Lines. The Alameda Electric Railway has such a complete and ample equipment that it can furnish motor power to more lines than it possesses.

A Child Burned to Death by an 0il Lantern—Football Happenings After the Game. | BERKELEY, Cavn, Nov. 29.—To-mor- | row will be junior day at the university and the class of '97 will celebrate it with the customary farce in the morning, band concert in the afternoon and promenade in the evening at Harmon Gymnasium. The tickets both to the farce and promen- ade bave been limited to such an extent | that it is expected that the usual crush will be avoided. The farce, which is to be rendered in | Shattuck Hall at 10 o'clock in the morn- | ing, is purely local in its character and was written by Miss Sherman and Miss | Redington. Those who will take part in the play are Miss Ethel Olney, Miss Agnes I. Helm, Miss Maud Sutton, B.P. Miller, J. H, BMHT H. N. Roeding, Dudley | Dean and C. P. Gooding. To-day a slight sensation in the class made itself apparent. It seems that President Craig has taken it upon himself | to choose the floor manager for the promenade contrary to precedent and at | variance with the desires of the junior day committee. at the action of their president and what makes them feel all the worse is the fact that he appointed Percy McDonnell, one of his own fraternity brothers. | Football Notes.

Captain Sherman was renominated and the name of Ransome, the fullback, who covered himse!f with glory in yesterday’s game, was also put on the boara. The time of election has not vet been set.

One Troe Medicine ror. Lost Nervons Strength. Cures Effected by Paine’s Celery Compound. What Scientific Research Has Accomplished. Proved by Success Where All Else Has Failed. There is one true specific for diseases arising from a debilitated nervous system, and that is the Paine’s celery compound so generally prescribed by physicians. It & probably the most remarkable remedy that the scientific research of this country has produced. Prof. Ed- ward E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., of Dartmouth coilege, first prescribed whdt is now known the world over as Paine’s celery com- pound, a positive cure ior dyspepsia, bilious- ness,” liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism and kidney troubles. For the latter Paine’s celery compound has succeeded again and again where everything else has failed. ‘Washington correspondents have re- cently given it a great deal of attention since the most wonderful cure effected in the case of Commodore Howell. The medical journals of the country have given more space in the last few years to the many remarkable cases where the use of Paine’s celery compound has made people well than to any other one subject.
