The following notice was inserted in the pa- ipers to-day by a local employment bureau: WANTED — Two young girlsas waitresses; bloomer costumes Pprovided; wages £ per week and board. The idea was put to a practical testin San Francisco several weeks ago and de- clared to be successful. Whether it will prove as successful in this city reinains to be seen. Oakland hasalways fought shy of such innovations, but the promoters of the new enterprise are very sanguine and declare that the pleasure of being served by ‘young ladies in bloomers will prove irresistible to Oaklanders, “We will start with two girls in bloom- ers,” said the man who isseeking the wait- sses to-night, *“but we expect to make such a_hit that we shall soon want moré. In San Francisco the custom has proved very attractive, and I think the people of Oakland are as fond of fads as any one else. All kinds of freaks are suc- 1l here and 1 see no reason why this d not be.” A HILL. Reémarkable Adventure of Attorney Fox in a Railroad Car. | OAKLAND, Can., Dec. 18.—Attorney | Charles N.

MAYOR DAVIE i Harrison Street Must Not Be Interfered With at Present. OAKLAND, Car., Dec. 18.—This even- ing Judge Ellsworth granted the injunc- ‘tion asked by Robert Smilie, restraining Mayor Davie from further interfering with ed property at the foot of Harrison street, Mayor Davie presented a motion for a continuance, only three days having eiapsed since the notice was served on him. In his affidavit the Mayor said : | That defendant expects to be able to prove that the land, for the protection of which the restraining order is prayed, is & public street within the limits of the city of Oakland and that the plaintiff has no title, right or interest in the said property; that affiant is informed | and believes that there are records of this eounty that shows the dedication of said lana 1o the city of Oakland, and your affiant has learned upon inquiry from professional search- ers of records that two weeks would not be un- reasonable time to make an abstract of the title to said land; and that an absiract will be essential for & proper hearing in the matter | before the court and that the defendants could | not make & safe defense without said abstract; | . “that said affiant is informed and velieves that there are witnesses who will testify to a long | and continued use of said land as a public street by the public. | A long argument followed between At- | Gregory, who appeared for Smilie, | ttorney Peirsol and Glascock, who was amicus cure. | City Attorney Peirsol claimed that the | suit could not go on as the city of Oakland | had been made a party to the suit and had | not even been served. Judge Ellsworth said there was nothing | in the apolication of whether the prop- | erty involved was claimed to be a public | street. This fact was, however, brought | ‘to the attention of tie court by counsel. It appeared,” said the Judge. “‘that the | coutention of defendants is that it is a | public street and the defendants claim | that they were acting in abatement of what they claim is a nuisance. This ap-| .plication was for a preliminary restraining | order.” i Attorney Peirsol said it would be diffi- | cult if the matter was to remain in statu | quo, bat_plaintiffs ask to have the city | restrained from preventing them restoring | things to their original condition. Judge Ellsworth suggested that the service on J. L. Davie was not sufficient to include the city. Mr. Gregory said he | would be satisfied if the restraining order | was not issued against Mr. Davie for the present. | After further nrgumerrg]udgfe Ellsworth | sued the injunction against Mayor Davie. | Vhen a permanent injunction is sought | the arguments will be based on titles. Is Now a Citizen. i OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 18.—After quite a struggle with the court Thomas Drgaper, an oid resident of Alameda County, was to-day admitted to citizenship by Judge Ogden. A few days ago he appeared be- iore the Judge, but was hazy in his replies to the questions put to him. He had no clear 1des as to-the workings of American institutions, but when questioned as to the length of his residence in this country said he had been here so long that he could only faintly remember when he arrived. Judge Ogden conciuded that his knowledge of the political system of this country was too vague and denied his petition. Yesterday he again appeared before the Judge and had apparently been well coaciied, for the answers were quickly | around. Upon returning they found that | bouse that was robbed identified the cup | | kinson. Fi | ago. { January. | will make » hare | tice J.J. Allen.

D, Car., Dec. 18.—The District | urprised this afternoon dur- ing the preliminary hearing of the de- fendants charged ‘with the murder of Felice Varni. District Attorney Snook produced a long and incrimmating state- ment, said to have been obtained from a witness named Mrs. Felu The witness took the stand and deuied ever having | seen the detective who, it is said, zov the | statement from her, and said that she had | never made any such statement. Her evi- | dence materially weakened the case of the prosecution. The case goes on to-morrow. Seeking His Daughter.

OAKLAND, CaL., Dec.18.—The graduat- ing exercises of the Oakiand High School were held last evening in the gymnasium of the school.

Ex-Mayor Pardee Makes a Timely Speech at the Fair—German So- cieties Unite. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 18. .{ All who have been to the exposition | learued something, and it is safe to say that everybody has been there, Althoughbuta very small proportion of Afameda County’s productive and manufacturing ability is on exhibition there is more to be seen than the average Alamedan thougit was within a hundred miles of his home, Apart from the primary object of holding the exposi tion one great lesson has been learned. There is far more home pride among the residents of this side of the bay than was | ever dreamed of, and when the opportun- ity to display it was provided the result was a revelation. The exposition reveals the fact, for the first time to many, that in this county are | many large flourmills, votterles, glass works, a borax refinery, a sugar refinery, | | asbestos works. wire factories, iron found- ries, shipyerds, windmill factories, ag cultural works, boiler and engine work: naii works, canneries, spice works, jute- mills, cotton-mills and many minor man factures all in full blast and employing thousands of people. Asa matter of fac Alameda County is already a large manu- facturing center. In mléilion to the display of the more practical things, theie is also much to learn at the exposition of the more delicate | side of Jife in Alameda County. Enough proof is offered that in literature, in the | | | ! | | arts and sciences a degree of culture and | proficiency has been attained far ahead of | what has been generally credited to this side of the bay. The art exhibition is rep- resentative, if small, and is solely the work of local artists. Certainly the names of Alameda County artists whose works are displayed in the ladies’ booths need no more publicity than has already been ac- | corded them. Joaquin Miller, Ina D. Cooibrith, Adeline Krapp, Laura F. Pin- Charles E. Markham, Mary Lambert, | Van Pelt and many others are on | the list. | But there 1s yei another inestimatle | benefit that has resulted from the exposi- tion. It isthe merging of all the various | social and cqmmercial forces into har- | mony. Only once before (at the Mayday | fete) has Oakland been united, and tk cess obtained then, great as it was, w' compare with the success of the e tion.

Chief Lloyd Sticks to His Determina- tion Not to Revive Old Scores. OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FrANcisco CaLy,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 18. { The Police Department has never been in such a,muddle as it is at this time. There are two factions working, one against theother, and each is talking of Grand Jury investigations. One faction is still loyal to the ex-Chief, Loms Schaffer, and the other is doing its best to strengthen its solidity with Chief Lloyd and the Police Commis- sioners. Between the two a bitter fight has been waging for several months, but so many interests have become involved that it is hardly likely that the matter will ever beadjusted by the courts. Even should the matter go to the Grand Jury and some sage satisfaction, as some indictments re- turned "3”‘“ ago were only heard last week And the District Attorney’s office failed to secure a conviction. The chief cause of the prevailing con- flict is Officer Banks, and at present he seems to have the advantage. A few months ago ex-Chief Schaffer preferred some very serious charges against Banks with the Commissioners, but the necex- sary proof was not made and the charges frame to naught. The next move was on Banks’ part. He arranged an interview with a Chinaman at his house, and in the Learing of several witnesscs the China- man stated that he was willing to pay a certain amount of money each month for the purpose of being atlowed to run lottery ames. In the course of this interview the The three who | | sented to the Board of Regents in the near | struct it. | | ilkie; guitar | | | | the rule and six days’ work to every week. | rangement and are all considered to be on | alevel. | hinaman said thas he had been in the | and finally McCloud was dismissed. | only one who will suffer will be the China- | man, who sa | building, in which he desires to locate his | habit of paying money to the ex-Chief, and that Denny Holland, the oldest detec- tive on the force and one of the best-known | thief-catchers on the coast, carried the money to the Chief. The introduction of Detective Holland into the imbroglio created more interest in a new quarter and every day new charges are being made and the department is sub- jected to fresh scandal. A great deal tha i is being said is old_history and enough is | known to make it certain that neither arty can go into court with clean hands. | Botin the meantime the discipline of the | departmert is suffering. Chiet Lloyd says ‘ he has found Banks & model officer since | he took office and will not be influenced by | anything that transpired under a previous | administration. 2 ! Still another surprise was sprung last | night when it became known that R. H. | McCloud’s case was to be reopened. Me- | Cloud was removed from the force over a | vear ago through charges preferred by | Louis Schaffer. Several days were spent | by the Commissioners in hearing testimony s ‘five officers have recently been dis- missed for drunkenness and neglect of | duty, the privilege of a rehearing accorded McCloud is regarded as equivalent to a promise of reinstatement. It is even stated that he has been assured of a star. McCloud waa generally regarded as a good officer. The explanation of the whole matter is 1o be found in the fact that at the City Hal) the *‘pull” is one way and favors Banks, and at the countv end the “pull” is rather in favor of Schaffer.

Notes. g | “f BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 18.—Regent J. B. Reinstein visited the university again this afternoon for the purpose of putting his plans for the improvement of the campus into- more definite form. He spent almost the entire afternoon in com- patiy with Professor C. L. Cory and F. M. lining methods for putting in better drive- ways and walks and an electric system for buildings and campus. Regent Reinstein proposes that the drive- way which approaches North Hall from the south entrance to the grounds be torn up and the space transformed into a green- sward and that the approach to North Hall ve made in the rear, the same as that to South Hall. “The plank sidewalk,” said he, *‘which also approaches the main building from the south entrance near Stiles Hall should likewise be torn up and a neat gravel walk | provided in its stead. | “The ground in front of North Hall | entering the basement would not be re'-‘ uired to step down two or three feet. | There is really need of only one bridge be- hind the gymnasium. One nicely con- structed bridge would serve the purpose much better and look more artistic than the three small ones that are now in use. Instead of having so many crossroads and bypaths across the campus running in every conceivable direction from one | building to another there shouid be a few | broad, artistically laid-out gravel- walks,” | Professor Cory showed Mr. Reinstein the plans which he had made for_lighting the buildings and grounds. Measures have already been taken by the Board of Regents for furnishing power to and light- iug the buildings, but no provision has yet been made for iighting the grounds. FPro- fessor Cory stated that there were two elec- tric plantsat the mechanics’.building ready for use, and that the only thing now neces- sary in order to turn on the electricity is the wire and fixtures. “We have estimated,” said he, “that it will cost $1000 or thiereabouts to put up the | thirty necessary poles and wire on the | campus, and about $1300 a year to run the lant.”” : Residents on either side of the univer- sity grounds have from time to time ex- pressed their desire that a driveway be made from north to south through the campus so that carriages would not be compelled to go around the grounds to get on the other side. A petition will be pre- future asking that such a_driveway be made or permissicn be given to con- On the Mile-Limit Line. BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 18.— Public sentiment been stirred to a consider- able extent within the Jast few days over the application of John Casey for a license | to sell liquor on University avenue, oppo- | site Acton. It is stated that Casey’s saloon, is one-half within and one-half | outside of the mile limit of the university, within which it is illegal to sell liquor. | Casey is well known in Berkeley, having | up to the time of Marshal Lloyd’sraids of | Just October conducted a private liquor establishment on University avenue, directly opposite the Town Hall. Casey’s place was not raided at the time, but he hastily closed his shop on learning of the | fate of others who were conducting similar establishments. The mile-limit line runs through the center of Lis building, and on this account it may be possible for a person to buy liquor outside of the line and step inside to drain his glass. | i application is indorsed by A. H. | uhn, T. Alters, 8. F. Page and | Taylor. New Life at Altruria. BERKELEY, CAL., December 18, — A new order of life has been instituted at Altruria, the socialistic colony in which so many Berkleyans bave an interest. It is an organization for labor. Up to the pres- ent time Altruria !as been conducted without any particular social scheme other than a declaration of the principles of so- cialism, but now all members of the colony are also members of a working force which toils regularly and according to certain estnblisfied rules. Eight-hour days are The women are included in this new ar- The work of the community has been di- vided into four departments, each under a superintendent. Workers are readily transferred from one department to an- other, so that all may be kept employed during working hours. Itis the general impression at the colony that the forces of Altruism may be utilized much more pro- ductively under the n-w plan. Thirty Days in Jail. BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 18, —Marshal Lloyd arrested H. Mcss, a_driver for Kow- alsky, an Qakland commission merchant, yesterday, for decamping with a $5 gold piece which was handed him afew days ago by Mrs. Rodgers of SBouth Berkeley, on the pretense of getting it changed. Moss pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge James this morning and was*sen- tenced to thirty days in the County Jail. 111 of Pneumonia. BERKELEY, Cav., Dec. 18.—Dr. Walter Powell of Atherton street is lying very ill at his home with an attack of pneumonia. TRAIN GATES OPPOSED. The People Generally Protest Against the New Alameda Ordinance. ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 18.—There is a roar of protest against the proposed ordi- | ¢hildren of the City. nance requiring the steam railroads to put gates on the local cars, which will have the effect of stopping free riding. City Attor- ney Taylor expresses the opinion that the railroad company has the right to charge fares. He says the provosed ordinance was drafted under general orders from the | City Trustees to prepare such a document. They wanted a law that would require a device puton the cars to prevent people jumping on and off while the cars were in motion. The only device that will accom- plish this object is the gate. The City Attorney expresses his personal disapproval of gates and an opinion tbat the ordinance in its present form is not liable to be adopted. In drafting the ordi- nance he obeyed his orders not his per- sonal views. The Park-street merchants are wild on the subject,and there will without doubt be a monster petition against gates at the next regular meeting. An Embarrassing Order. ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 18.—The City Treasurer of Alameda is in something of a quandary. According to the recent ruling of the Bank Commissioners the usual plan of depositing money in the local bank will have to be abandoned,and he does not consider the safe in the Treasurer’s office sufficiently strong to justify the keeping of the bulk of the funds in it. The bank has consented to be custodian of the money, permitting it to remain in the original packages until removed, pending some arrangement by which the city may care for it itself. The Treasurer has de- cided to petition ti:e municipal board for a new safe, sufficiently strong to make the funds secure. The ruling of the Bank Commissioners is proving to be very em- barrassing in Alameda, and will necessi- tate the outlay of a considerable sum of money that would otherwise have been unnecessary. Sues for Damages, ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 18.—F. D. Smith conducts a milk ranch at Alvarado, and furnishes milk to retailers. One of these was John Goldstone of Alameda, whom Smith now sues for a balance of $142 22 claimed to be due. Goldstone in return claims damages in the sum of $299, and for cause alleges that the milk supplied by Smith between October Land October 15 was ‘“‘unfit for human consumption, being slimy, stringy and ropy.” By reason of this poor quality Goldstone claims that he lost fifty customers, and was damaged in the amount claimed. It broke him up in business. 10 THESE LITILE ORES Christmas Cheer Needed for Young and Old at the Institutions. For the King’s Daughters’ Home and the Children’s Hospital—Park Out- ing for School Children. There will be plenty of good cheer in the smaller homes where the occupants num- ber from two to eight or even ten, but what of the larger homes like the King's Daughters’ Hospital for Incurables where there are nearly seventy old people look- ing forward to appetizing fare of a dainti- ness to sunit the capricious appetites of the old and invalid ? The King’s Daughters’ home lost a strong financial prop when California’s household economy deprived it of State aid. The majority of the patients are practically charity patients,for the amount of a life membership in the 1nstitution, although' entitling them individually to care for life, is soon exhausted as far as the manifold needs of the home are concerned. The old people are talking of the turkeys, the iellies and wines they expect for their midday meal o2 Christmas, butit is doubt- ful, in the present state of the treasury, whether any of those wants will be sup- plied except by donations. It will be sad indeed if one of the old ladies and gentle- men «hould miss the delicacies of the table in their old homes. Age is querulous. It is prone to magnify the losses of the pres- ent. It isto be hoped that the inmates of the home on Francisco and Stockton streets will miss no iota of Christmas cheer and comfort. There is every indication that the mati- nee at the Baldwin to-day for the benefit of the deaf and blind at the Children's Hospital will be generously attended. The California-street institution merits liberal atronage and will undoubtedly reteive it. onation dates for the hospital this year are the 20th, 21st, 23d and 24th.
