Mrs. Burch sets forth that the will only provided for her to the extent of §5, and otherwise she was left dependent upon herself for a livelihood. Attorney C. G. Dodge, who represents the estate, said to-night that the suit cuts very little figure in the fate of the prop- erty. *It is not a mnew story,’” he said, “but it is absolutely groundless, and we have already satisfied ourselves on that point.

Inquiry in Regard to the Fatal Acci- | dent of Thursday Night. OAKLAND, Car, Feb. 21.—An inquest was held to-night in regard to the death of Mrs. Anna Daun, who was fatally burned last night. Nothing was proved regard- ing the cause of the remarkable manner in which she was enveloped in flames a few minutes after leaving the dining-room. | The story that she was filling a lighted lam p was disproved, as there was nota lamp in the house. The most feasible explanation was that the deceased was seeking sometbing ina | closet with the aid of matches. They were | parlor matches, and it is supposed that a spark ignited some paper that was on the | floor and the tlames were communicated to her clothing. After her clothes were on fire the unfortunate woman went into the | back yard and }l:erished without once cry- | ing for help. This was all that could be | learned from the witnesses and the jury returned a verdict that death was acci- dental. The Grand Jury.

Mrs. Olsen’s Property. | ALAMEDA, Car., Feb. .—Dorothea | Olsen has been in the courts many times. | She has considerable property and married 4 man twice as old as herself. He led her a sad life, and she had the law on him for abusing her, putting her out of the house and beating her, and finally obtained a divorce. Her single blessedness did not long suit her, for she married Peter Olsen over again, and not only that, but she deeded him proverty of the value of | | $12,000. As soon as she came to fully | | Tealize what she had done she wantéd it | | back and instituted suit to recover it. | In this she was successful.

He was accompa- nied by his father and mother, three brothers and four sisters. The family came by the Panama route. They re- mained in San Francisco for some time and then moved to Marysville, where they engaged in farming. In 1865 Peter came to Oakland. He had then attained his majority, but he entered Brighton College as a student and re- mained there for over two years. He then returned to Marysville, and immediately entered in a business of hisown. He be- came the proprietor of the New York livery stable, and remained in it till 1873." Livery business was good in those days, as there were no electric-cars or bicycles, and young Pumyea was com- paratively rich. After leaving Marysville he returned to this city and purchased an interest in the livery stable of E. Newland, which was consideration, was accepted by the com pany, and, consequently, that is what the | rate will be. Patriotic Entertainment.

The nega- tive was underexposed, but it shows clear shadows of an iron and platinum spatula, a copper coil and a coin and a faint shadow of the wooden base of the tube. As to Arbitration. BERRELEY, CaL., Feb. 21.—President Kellogg of the University of Califocnia, at the request of President Harrington of the Washington State University, called a meeting of the student body th1s afterncon for the purpose of discussing the advis- | ability of lending support, as a university, to the movement for arbitration of inter- national questions, chiefly those arising between the United States and Great Brit- ain. A set of resolutions presented by Professor Jones, embodying the sentiment of the meeting in favor of the arbitrament of questions arising_between nations, was unanimously passed. The period of fifty minutes, or the usual time set aside for a recitation, was given to the students by the faculty for the aiscussion. Stiles Hall was filled to its uttermost with college men and women when Presi- dent Kellogg announced the purpose of | the meeting, Professor William Carey Jones, head of the department of jurisprudence, stated that one weak vointin international law was the fact that there is no established higher court for the settlement of disputes. Various expedients, he continued, have been resorteq’ to for the settlement of these disputes, such as mediation on the part of principalities, friendly to both sides concerned, and arbitration in its true sense, but there has been no set-and estab- lisked tribunal. During the last 100 years about thirty cases have been submitted to arbitration. Out of these the United States has been concerned in more than one-half. Dudley Tield, in his code of international law, has recommended a board of arbitrators for the settlemuent of disputes. From the outcome of the Geneva and Bering Sea disputes, it would seem that the measure is a most ex- cellent one—a measure which appeals to civilization in the highest and most per- fect form. Professor Thomas R. Bacon stated that it is beyond question that there are many useless wars—wars which involve no prin- ciple. War for war’s sake should be depre- cated on every hand. ‘‘The purpose of this meeting,” said he, ‘“is to do what where arbitrati Professor C. M. Gayley denounced the idea of taking a recitation period for the discussion of matters of this kind. He thought that to take an hour from recita- tions to attend tosuch questions was a kindergarten trick and should not be countenanced. “Why not take,” said he, ‘‘an evening or a period after recitation hours for looking after these things? They are worthy of greater importance. It must be a small question that has to be di: cussed at a time suited toall the students. William N. Friend '96, president of the Associated Students, Harry Hirst '96 and | T. H. Dam ’96 spoke for the stuaents on the question, all fayoring the set of resolu- tions as presented by fessor Jones. the close of the discussion the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, It is desirable in the cause of civ- ilization and the interests of humanity that the percentage of international differences that lead to war should be reduced to a mini- mum through the application of the principle of arbitration; and whereas, the common in- eat Britain and the common character and purpose of their political organizations suggest the emi- nent desirability as well as the feasibility of the adoption of some permenent method for the amicable settlement of many disputes in which their Governments may be directly or indirectly concerned; therefore Resolved, That the faculties and students of the University of California in a joint meeting, held this 21st day of February, 1896, gladly add their voice in favor of the movement for the arbitration of international questions, especially as between the United States and Great Britain; and Resolved, That copiés of this action be sent to the President of the United States, the Secre- tary of State, the President of the nate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, also to the Senators and Representatives of this State in Congress, with the request that they take such steps as may promote the cause of this reform., Co-eds With Mortar-Boards.
