Students Asking That Reinstein Be Appointed for a Long Term. BERKELEY, CaL., March 1.—The stu- | dent. laborers at Berkeley will have one more- day in which to finish the work they have undertaken on the university campus. To-morrow has been declared 4 holiday by President Kellogg for that purpose.. The piece from completion is the excavating around North Hall. With the exception of put- ting fown the crushed rock and gravel the new eptrance to the grounds from Center t is complete. aborers will therefore be put to work in he vicinity of North Hall. The news of another day’s vacation was heralded with delight among most of the college men cause of their desire to put on the tinish- ¢ touches to the excavating and road- aking, and also because they might have 10ther day's rest from study, it being a that: under ordinary circumstances ev are required to attend college continu- for the entire term without a dav’s ion excepting on the National holi- The poetically inclined and the lovers symbolic monuments have already nd abundant resource in the “student wr movement’ for the satisfaction of r esthetic tastes.

BERKELEY. CarL., March 1.—The Uni- versity of California Glee Club will give their first local concert of the season to- morrow evening at the Auditorium, San Francisco. Manager Veeder has been actively engaged for the past three or four weeks in arranging the business details of the concert, and to-day he stated that he sected it to be the event of the season. er since the beginning of the present term the club has been practicing almost daily with the hope of getting into the best of form for to-morrow nizht. Several new features will be introauced, and the university mandolin ciub, which was formed last fall, will make their first pub- lic appearance. This will be the first_con- cert which the club has given in San Fran- co since the joint entertainment which they held last fall at the Auditorium in connection with the Stanford Mandolin Club. The entire university is expected to turn out and make the event in the nature of a climax to the work of the student laborers on the campus, which will be completed to-morrow afternoon. The first and last numbers will be a combination of the Mandolin and Glee Club. Mrs. Olive Reed will sing *‘Ben Bolt,” with humming accompaniment by the Glee Club. Charles E. Parcells, the violin soloist, will act as accompanist in some of the selections. The programme is to be entirely new, the club having recently received a large num- ber of the latest songs from the East. Frank Stringbam, barvtone, will sing a solo in which he will'make hits on local institutions and on Stanford. The “Stan- ford School Scholar” will be one of his pieces, Following is the personnel of the club: First tenors, Morse, Bakewell, Elston and Somers; second tenors, T. A. Smith, Tay- T. Smith and Knight; first bass, String- ham, Whipple, Rawlings and Russ; sec- ond bass, Veeder, Parsons, Hutchings and Wedemeyer. Justice’s Court Attacked. BERKELEY, Car., March 1.—The le- gality of Justice James’ court has been at- the suit of Thomss Gomford against Christian Melcher for $113 75 bal- ance of an account for rent.

But Few People at the Park and Cliff, A Balloon Ascension at Haight Street. The sharp, cold atmosphere yesterday had the effect of keeping people away from the park and the ocean beach. ‘I'ravel to the Cliff House district was by the Sutro line and the park and ocean steam line, the ciiff steam line having shut down by reason of the cave at the south end of the tunnel near Point Lobos afew days since. A gang of men have been at work making repairs, but several days will elapse before it will be in opera- tion again. In the park driving was light, bicycles | were not numerous and pedestrians were | few. The only noticeable event in the bicycle line was the turnout of the Impe- | rial Club which went over the drives and | to the cliff in a body, making a very fine appearance. Dr. L. G.

She rose about 1500 feet, then cut loose her parachute and came down on the peak roof of a dweliing on Lyon street, near Oak. Sne was rescued irom her uncomfortable landing place and taken back to the grounds. It had been announced that the bailoon was to carry up two parachutes, with Professor Emil Markeberg clinging to one and Miss Viola clinging to the one underneath his, but on sccount of the hich wind it was deemed inadyvisable to make the double ascent, and Markeberg witndrew in iavor of Miss Viola. alto, and Grace L. e The craze for articles made of alligators’ skins has been the death of 2,500,000 alli- gators in Florida during the last fifteen years.

How the Water Companies’ Methods Have Proved a Detriment to the City. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO Cu.z..} 908 Broadway, March 1. Dr. Harmon, late of San Leandro, has given expression and weight to a phrase that cannot help but ultimately eclipse the famous utterance of Sam Weller relating to widows. Dr. Harmon’s philosophical bon-mot is “Beware of typewriters.” This gentleman’s litigation shows how speedily cases can be atiended to in the Alameda courts when no politics are involved in the issue and when twenty thousand dollars in good treasury notes is one of the ex- hibits in evidence waiting to be distrib- uted. It did not wait long. The details of the case have been told at intervals, but they can be summed up in very few words. Dr. Harmon was anxious to avoid paying alimony, so be turned all available assets into cash and was arrested while trying to leave the State. The groundlessness of the charge is best proved by the fact that it has been withdrawn in the Police Court. But it sufficed to bold the doctor tiil he could be taken—with his $20,000, of course —to the Supreme Court. A request was made for a receiver for the estate and it was immediately granted. The receiver had to get bon Ten minutes later he had them,and a few minutes later the divorce case was set for trial a few days hence. At the ap- pointed time the parties and the $20,000 were in court. After a little talk the court adjovrned. Before his marriage with his typewriter Dr. Harmon was worth about $80,000, and his typewriter was, according to the doctor, withouta waterproof roof over her head. When the docior walked out of court a few days ago he was worth $8000, his ex-wife had $12,000 in cash, the San Leandro home beautifully furnished and two and a balf acres of land, the little | boy, an absolute divorce. Her brother also hes a dental education, for which Dr. Har- man says he paid over $3000 and an office furuished worth $500, which the doctor says he also paid for and for which he has receipts. When the doctor finished telling his etory to a reporter he said: *‘It is the old philosophy, 4000 years old. Never lay vour wife’s family under great obligations | to you, and—beware of typewriters.” Many hard things were said of Judge York of Los Angeles the day he sent Oak- land’s boy burglars to Folsom for ten years, but now the majority of people think the sentence was just. It is very probable that the pressure brought to bear on the prosecution and the bench to have | the lads sent to a reform schoo! would have been rewarded had the case been tried by an Alameda County Judge. Under the circumstances a home Judge would undoubtedly have attached as much weight to the witnesses on the boys’ be- half as to their testimony, and indeed no other course could be expected. Judge York, who was sitting for Judge Greene during the latter’s iliness, knew nothing of the witnesses and judged the case solely on the testimony. e saw no mitigating circumstances, but did see before him two lads who confessed that had they been molested during any of their raids they would not have hesitated to use the pistols with which they iiberally armed them- i selves. His conclusion that to send such desperadoes to a reform school would be an encouragment to romantic youngsters to go and do likewise is gener- ally approved. There are many, how- ever, who would like to see the lads kept out of State prison on account of their age and lack of proper training. The Council meeting to-morrow night will be one of unusual interest to every property-Lolder in this city. The rates for the next fiscal year are to be fixed and the two rival water companies will be on hand to show why rates should not be made as high as they want them. The question of water rates, and the virulent war that has been waged between the two companies for the past year hasa feature that ie not yet known to one person in 8 thousand. Doring the past year hundreds of columns of matter in the local papers | have been devoted to the different water companies. These statements were in the form of analyses of the various waters sup- | plied from different sources. One com- pany would publish the most damaging statements regarding the other company’s water and vice versa. The people of Oak- land—whose health statistics show it to be almost the healthiest city on the coast— merely laugh and congratulate themselves that they were reaping the benefit of cut rates. The following portion of a conver- sation with a real estatedealer of standing, held recently, puts the water fight in a new light. “I was in Los Anczeles recently,” said the realty man, “and I meta geatleman who had just invested thousands of dol'ars ingCalifornia property. He told me that his original intention had been to locate in Oakland, but that he had read so much that was detrimental to the water supply of this city that he had decided to go else- where. I asked him how his attention had been called to these reports, and his reply was somewhat of asurprise. He said that the realty men interested in sell- ing property outside of Oakland were re- printing and circulating thousands of these newspaper reports and suggesting that Oakland 1s & good place to pass by. Not being acquainted with the methods employed in this City, where one corpora- tion tries to undermine another, they be- lieved what they read, and everybody suf- fers in consequence.” ‘Where so much is involved there is need for much discretion. Whether the two companies ultimately combine or not will not affect the rates. The real values on which to base estimates are pretty well known, but there should be some wav found to force the competitors to abandon combative methods of rivalry that are in- jurious to the whole community. 5. W. B, GROWTH 0F ALAMEDA Its Expansion This Year on the North Instead of the South Side. The Growth so Rapid That School- Room Facilities Likely to Get Short Again.

The accession to the population is chiefly families and generally the cause of it is the fact that the conditions are excellent for the rearing of chilaren and the oppor- tunities for their education good. Ifthe growth of the city keeps up—and it prom- ises to surpass previous years—further ex- pansion in the schoolhouses Will be neces- sary in the near future. Trend of the Building Movement. ALAMEDA, Car., March L—There were 164 houses erected in Alameda during the eur 1895 at an outlay in round numbers of Knlf a million of dollars. This number promises to be exceeded during the{yesr 1896. One firm began the ereciion of four- teen houseson Friday last. The movement in building which for years has been most active on the south side now bids fair to be transferred to the north side. The south side having been the favored section so long has been well improved, and lots are helg at ahigh figure, vith not a great many left. Sn the north side there are some large tracts as yet but partly im- proved, and they are not beld at such pro- bibitive figures. The improvement of Oak- land Harbor and the digeing of the tidal canal have given a fine water front to tnis section of 51e city, and the view of Oak- land and theContra Costa hillsisinspiring, Itis seemingly but just discovered that this part of town is very desirable for resi- dence, and thatis where the bulk of the building improvements is likely to be for the year 1896. The Run of Flounders. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 1.—This is the time of the year when floundérs run, snd big strings of them are taken in waters adjacent to Alameda. The quiet waters of the tidal canal seem to attract them, and they come up on the tide and settle down on ‘the muddy bottom in such numbers that they are ready prey for the angler. Dr. Riehl caught as many as he could comforiably carry in two hours on Satur- day, and in proof of the readiness of the fish to bite reiates that one of his catch i:wnllowed all three of the hooks on his ine. A Claim Questioned. ALAMEDA, Car., March 1.—C. F. Carl- son has filed a formal protest against the pavment by the City Treasurer of any money to Emil Kirchhoff on a claim pre- sented by him as wages for superintend- ing the work of laying the artificial stone walks abont the grounds of the new City Hall. Kirchhoff was appointed by the Municipal Board to that position. City Treasurer Wheeler has referred the claim to the City Attorney to pass upon it | legality. BLAME IT ALL ON JAMES Said to Have Prejudiced the Governor Against John P. Irish. | He Does Not Know Whether He Will Resign or Hold On. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco Carr,} 908 Broadway, March 1. § Director Leach of the Blind Home, the only member of the board who was not | appointed by Governor Budd, does not | know whether he will resign or not, and | will not say whether or not he expects to be dismissed like his colleague on the board, Colonel Irish. The particular circumstances that led to the appointment of Daniel S, Hirshberg in the place of John P. Irish were made known to-day. At the first meeting of the board after the new appointees took office there was an evident disposition to convince Direc- tors Irish and Leach that their methods were generally distasteful, and that 1f they kept quiet and did not make them- selves objectionable -to the majority they might be permitted to retain their seats. This spirit was particularly mani- fested by Colonel James, even to details. | He made it so apparent that he had nc use for any precedent that the two directors who had been on the board since the home | was inaugurated resented the suggestions | | of their incapacity. Particularly obnox-, ! larly grateful for the Gubernatorial favor, ious to Director Irish was the removal of Superintendent Sanders to make room for Jack Hays. Irish expressed himself forcibly, and at the last meeting he wasno less independent. When the board last met thers was a new bone of contention between the two factions. A bill was presented for the payment of a month’s salary to a “fore- man.” There was no such office before H:d" was appointed and Irish stated that had Hays known what his blind predeces- sor knew, no foreman would have been necessary. Irish and Leach opposed the bill, but”it went through. Then another matter came up. The old superintendent used to dine with the inmates. Since Mr. Hays took charge he has decided to have a separate table for himself. This neces- sitated another cook and Irish and Leach again stood out against the new method. Now it is stated that Colonel James must have gone directly to Governor Budd and reported TIrish, for two days later the colonel was no longer a director. Director Leach 1s still on the anxious seat. The Governor has stated that he will not remove Mr. Leach, as being pro- prietor of a Republican newspaper he will be able to criticize the doings o! his col- NEW NORWEGIAN CHURCH The Sacred Edifice Was For- mally Dedicated Yes- terday.

TO THE PUBLIC. A Guarantee From Columbia Theater. As the general public is perhaps not familiar with the excellency of the enter- tainment to be given by Freeman’s Fun- makers at the Columbia'Theatre to-night, the undersigned beg to state that their presentation of A Railroad Ticket,” which is recognized as one of the very funniest farce-comedies ever written, will more than delizht the theater-goers. The company ircludes Mr. Eugene Canfield, Miss Beatrice Norman, Mr. Charles E. Grapewin and other welj-known comedians | and speciaity artists. The fun is furious from first to last and many original novel- ties are introduced. Popular prices will prevail. Respectfully, FRIEDLANDER, GorTroB & Co. the |A DESPERATE ROBBER. Knocks a Chinese Down on the Street and Struggles Desperately With the Police. Jo Anthony, a young hoodlum, yester- day perpetrated one of the boldest outrages Chinatown has known for some time. He met Ah Chong, a Chinese who had a very rich gold bracelet on his arm, at the corner of Clay street and Benham place, and demanded his money. The Chinaman started to run away, when Anthony knocked him down. Putiing his foot on the neck of the prostrate Ah Chong, Anthony tried to pull the bracelet off the Chinaman’s arm by main force. Ah Chong screamed with pain. This attracted a crowd who piped a shrill ac- companiment with police whistles. Officer Barry, who was two blocks away, started for the row and chased the would-be robber to the corner of Clay and Kearny streets, where he caught Anthony and knocked him down. Anthony was up at once and threw him- self on Barry. A desverate struggle ensued which resulted in the policeman's dragging his opronent to the California-street sta- tion. There another scrimmage ensued; /e TR i /i/é: k ; Inside and Outside of the New M. E.

Tenth street, between Howard and Fol- som, and as it was the first Norwegian- Danish church built in San Francisco un- not considered an ordinary one. The ex- ercises proper were of an extremely sim- ple nature, but none the less impressive by réason of this. Bishop Goodsell began by reading ina clear, impressive manner the introductory dedicatory service as laid down in Metho- dist rules. Then came a Norwegian hymn, Dr. R. H. Bentley of Berkeley follow:ng in a short prayer. Bishop Goodsell then read the one hun- dred and twenty-second psalm, selecting that part which says: “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” In the course of his remarks he said: “Ldo not know if any particnlar occa- sioniinspired these words—whether it was other equally important exercise. But I do know that it is fitting in God's nouse, that all our meditations shouid be in hismame. If the heart be once with Ged the whole earth is his temple. The only one who finds true ecstasy and joy in living is he whose life is dedicated to God. Such a man, and such a man only, is en- titled to live.” The reverend gentleman then said that the natural state of man was antagonistic to churches, to religion. He objected to Sunday services, or in fact, anything that in any way curtailed his social privi- leges. Those, however, who understood the full meaning of that invitation, I was into the house of the Lord,” knew what the house of God meant. At the conclusion of this brief talk Rev. C. J. Larsen, the organizer and pastor of the new church, and who it may be stated at-this time is also presiding eider of the California district of Norwegian-Danish mission work, announced that the organi zation started out $900 in debt and he would like to decrease this as much as possible. Something over $350 was raised. Bishop Goodseil then resumed the dedi- catory exercises, at the conclusion of wiich the congregation wus formally dis- missed. Rev. C. J.

MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED A Case Which May Cloud the Title to Much Sacramento Property. The Supreme Court to Decide Whether Estates Have Been Legally Settled Up. A case which will involve the interests of many San Franciscans and which may plunge 791 estates, valued at over $2,091,- 482, into utmost confusion is to coms up before the Supreme Court to-day. It is a petition of Mary A. Hensley for a per- emptory writ of mandate to compel Supe- rior Judge Matt V. Johnson of Sacramento to issue a decree that due publication of notice to creditors was made in the settle- ment of the estate of Calvin P. Hensley, Hensley died July 26, 1889, leaving an estate worth $25,000. The Probate Court | of Sacramento made the following order on September 13, 1839: In the matter of the estate of Calvin P. Hens- ley, deceased: It is ordered that C.C. Perkins, | G. Knott and John Miller be appointed ap- praisers of said estate, and that notice to the creditors be given in the Daily Record-Union. The publication was duly made for four weeks In accordance with the statutes, which provide that unless otherwise speci- fied the publication should be for that length of time. The work of settling the estate was almost completed, the time in which claims against it might be presented had long expir-d, when a mortgage for $12.000 was brought forward by a tardy creditor. This creditor claimed that since the court had not specified any particular period during which the publication of notice to creditors was to be printed, the order was not according to the stat- utes and was of no force, and therefore their claim was not barred. Mrs. Hensley, | through her attorneys, Stearns and Elliot, | argued that the statutes did not require any particular period to be named since they said publication must be made for four weeks unless otherwise ordered. The publication haa been made for four weeks, and she asked Judge Matt F. Johnson to issue a decree that proper publication had been made. He refused, and the estate was put in the same condition as when the probate pro- ceedings were first begun seven years before. The case before the Supreme Court to-day is to decide the force of Judge John- 8O opinion. As the same method of ordering the publication of notice to cred- itors was in vogue from 1860 till 1890 every estat* probated in that time will be affected | by Judge Johnson’s decision if the Su- preme Court upholds it. A search of the records shows that no period of time was specified in the order for making the publication of motice to creditors in 791 cases. The estates foot up over $2,001,482.
