OAKLAND, Car., March 13.—A meeting of the Mayday Fete Association was held last night and steps were taken to prepare for the tloral display at the Oakland Trot- ting Park. i The management of the park will have expended fully $100,000 in erecting a new | grand stand and other buildings, renewing | erally by that time, and it ’is hoped it will be possible to have the grand opening of the park on the same day.

OAKLAND, CaL, March 13 —Adelia Everett, the 15-vear-old girl who isanx- ious to become somebody’s wife rather than go to Whittier, was in the Police Court this morning and her case went over till next Tuesday. Grandma Hobart, the only relative and guardian of the girl, has not made up her mind whether she will consent to marriage or not. Mrs. P; cott of the Humane Society argued again: the match and Attorney Ayer argued in favor of it. The grandma will decide next till then. Mrs. Wilmore Stays in Jail. OAKLAND, CaL., March 13.—Mrs, Wil- more’s attempt to get out of jail on habeas- corpus proceedings was unsuccessful to- day. The petition was read, and Judge en declared it defective on several points, so it was denied. The prisoner was accompanied in the courtroom by sey- eral ladies irom the First Baptist Church.

Forthcoming Meeting of the Third Con- gressional District Committee. OAKLAND, CaL., March 13.—The Ala- meda County members of the Third Con- gressional District Committee %ill meet next Wednesday evening at the City Hall in Alameda to finally arrange for the | selection of delegates for this county to the te Convention. arent break faction is working bard to gain a vote from its opponent, one vote in either case | There is so far no ap- It well known that Senator Earl, George Mcrrow and E. K. Taylor are| inclined to send ex-Mayor George C. Par- | dee to St. Louis to name the next Presi- dent, while Morrison, Long and Ingler are | considerea friendly to Senator Denison. As Denison has said that he is conrident of success in the county delegation and that he aoes not care whether the dele- gates are appointed by the committee or elected at a primary, the position of Ingler, Morrison and Long in iurciblyob;ectmg to naries is not ensily understood. County Clerk Frank Jordan, who is en- ergetically working for primaries in the interest of his stanch friend and supporter, Dr. Pardee, said to-night that the }eellng in favor of primaries is being manifested more every day. “All the dust-throwing and all beating around the bush will not serve any pur- | pose,” said Jordan. “The Republicans of this county do not want any body of men | to do their politicsfor them. They willnot | stand it. 1f Denison’s friends have cause | to feel so conhdent as they they are, why shouid they oppose primaries? If the committee is not working for an ulte- rior purpose it will order primaries.” i ‘The action taken next Wednesday night | by the Alameda men will depend in some measure upon the decision of the Third District committee which meets in San | Francisco Saturday. | then he will awaken. in the deadlock, and each | [1 i good character of Hill before he left Suisun,s has peen sleeping at the Receiving Hospi- tal, with the exception of meal times, for over a week. Dr. Kurozawa says Hirano is actually a marvel, while Dr. Kodawa thinks he may be a fraud. Steward Victory of the hospital is a stu- dent of psychology, and he believes that the little Japanese is under some myste- rious influence and that not until he is re- leased by the same person that now con- trols him will he awake from his slum- ber. The steward says there is no differ- ence between the sleep of Hirano and that of any other hypnotic subject. When the sleeper’s Svengali appears Tushako was picked up by au officer at Twelfth and Franklin streets and taken to the City Prison, where he was charged with violating the ‘'sleeping-out” ordi- nance. For several days he lay in a stupor at the prison and no food passed his lips. He was then taken to tbe Receiving Hos- | pital and aftér a iittle time he took nour- ishment. For several days he has been roused and fed three times a day, butas s00n as his ravenous hunger is satisfied he at once resumes his sleep. When it was thought that the man was shamming vari- ous devices were resorted to for the pur- pose of testing his sleeping qualities. Dr. R. Kodawa of San Francisco, who came over to see the sleeper, is not certain | that the sleep is genuine. “It may appear strange,” he said, “but | it may be that Hirano is feigning. I have seen him before, ana I had experience with him on two occasions. In each case he was 1n a sleep like this, and in each case I | woke him up. He was once in a Japanese | mission in San Francisco. He fell asleep | there and I went to look at him. I spoke | to him, handled him and poured cold water down his back and he came to him- self. *‘On another occasion, when I was at the medical college, he claimed that he suffered a great deal irom a tooth, and I wanted him to have it extracted. He said that he worshived God and that God would re- move the pain if he went to sleep. He slept, but he woke up soon after I called. He had the aching tooth, too, and I guess he has that tooth yet. I donot know why he should deceive, but he may think that if he appears sick he may bring people who will give him money and other arti- cles. I think that if be should be left | alone in a room with nobody in a position where Hirano might be watched he would soon open his eyes.”” This morning Dr. Kurozawa conducted a severe ordeal on Hirano. He was ac- | companied by the sup:srintendent of the | Japanese Mission at San Francisco. | Hirano’s fingers were bent backward until | they were almost at right angles with his hand. His toes and limbs were likewise treatea aud placed in unnatural positio; | The eyes ol the sleeper, however, never opened, altbough he writhed in pain. He did not give expression to any articu'ate utterance, but he groaned in agony, some- times situng up in bed and at others squirming away from the experimental- ists. The doctor and the superintendent leit the hospital declaring that the case was the most pronounced one in hysteria that they had ever known. The patient was taken to the Hospital this afternoon. SAYS Sfll; STRUCK HIM. Murderer Hill’s Excuse for Taking His Wife’s Life. OAKLAND, Car., March 13.—The attor- ney for Benjal Hill, on trial for the mur- der -of his wife, made his opening state- ment for the defense to-day. Attorney Bradley reviewed Hill’s married life. With respect to the events that immediately receded the shooting he said that after eaving the house Mrs. Hill had told her husband that she would not live with him; that she had been unfaithful to him and that she wanted to be taken care of by the man who was the father of her urborn child. She also told Bradley that she did not love her husband; that she had never loved him and that she-married him solely for the money he had supplied. Hill begged her to forego her resolution to abandon him, and when he did <o, she beeame angry and struck him in the face. These acts, Attorney Bradley said, might not in themselves justify killing in a sane man, but were sufficient to render a man who loved_ his wife as Hill did to become insane, and on that ground he would ask the jury to acquit the prisoner. ‘When referenice was made to the ahan- donment of the prisoner by his wife, Hill aid his head on the table and wept. Sev- eral witnesses from Suisun testified to the 'Caunty said that Kruger had worked up cases for the police ana afterward had offered to square them for a consideration. Kruger denies doing so and demands an apology or damages, Mr. Gier says he can prove all he has said, so the case will probably | go to trial. Clark’s Champion. OAKLANUD, CAL., March 13.—Rey. John W. Ellis, pastor of the Centennial Presby- terian Church, calied on the District A torney to-day and examined the testimon taken in the hearing of William Clark, the aged East Oakland gardener, charged with | immoral conduct toward two little girls. Rev. J. W, Ellis said it wgs_impossible for | children to teil such stories, and said they | tad been coached in-the matter by Mr: Prescott of the Humane Society. District | Attorney Mahew denied any such thing. | The case will be heard May 5. | Guest of the Mayor, OAKLAND, Car., March 13.—David B. McCoy, superintendent of the New York | Central and Hudson River Railroad, was the guest of Mayor Davie yesterdav. Mr. MeCoy introduced himself as a friend of the Mayor’'s brother, Labor Commissioner Davie of the State of New York. Mayor Davie took Mr. McCoy and wife around the city and suburbs, and concluded a day’s pleasure with a purely Californian dinner. Everything was native from wines to cigars, and Mr. McCoy said many ‘complimentary things about them. It is | nia until her nerves were on the verg | work were ordered e: | follows: PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUNB. Mrs. J.

Sample of 1558 Broadway, | New York City, was afflicted with insom- of She thinks her condi un‘ Here is what Mrs. prostration. was due to indigestion. Sample say “I have used Paine’s celery compound with marked and decided benefit. It is especially useful in insomnia, arising from indigestion and poorly nourished nerves. “I should add that my granddaughter, Vera Hafleigh, was so thin and puny at the age of 10 as to cause us the greatest anxiety. We had no difficulty in inducing her to take Paine’s celery compound. To- day the roses bloom in her cheeks, and I never saw a healthier, stronger child than Paine’s celery compound has made her.” The brain is the center of the nervous system. Sleep alone rests this vital organ, of All Remedies. together with the nerves. waking hours the nervous system works incessantly. Poor sleep means a poor nervous condition, and prolonged insom- nia ieads in every case to prostration, and too often to dread insanity. The mischief that results from weakened nervesis much greater and more destructive than most folks even dream of. The all-important thing for nervous, run-down persons, and for those who are losing sleep is that Paine’s celery com- pound builds up the whole physical sys- tem, and by improving the digestion and regulating the nerves it insures sound, re- freshing sleep. In winter most women and many men lead hothouse lives. A flagging appetite, a disposition to pick at this dish and that, rather than to eat a square meal, is among the early indications of failing health. Then comes delay in falling asleep, and the fretful, uneasy feeling the next day. Deliverance from such a mis:rable con- dition by the use of Paine’s celery com- During the | sample Owes Her Strength o This the Best pound has caused men and women from every section of the United States to write sincere, hearty words of praise and thank- fulness for this grand invigorator. People enjoying perfect health sometimes wonder at this gratitnde; but whoever has suffered from prostration of the nerves, of which insomnia is ons of the symptoms, will understand how hard it is to overstate the torment of this condition. And whoever has been made completely well by Paine’s celery compound feels that no words can overstate the joy and gratitude such per- sons feel. 3 This is the state of mind of thousands of nervous, sickly, broken-down persons who have used Paine’s celery compound and been made well. Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result in the case of her grandchild. One of the most conspicuous instances of the remark- able power of Paine’s celery compound over debility is shown in the relief 1t has afforded chilaren. Of course, the dose is adapted to the age of the little patient. The compound purifies the blood and cor- rects any tendency to constipation.

OAKLAND, CAL., March 13.—For a long time several blocks of streets have been in a bad condition and any proposition to have them macadamized has been fought by the property-holders.

There is a section in the treet law that provides that a protest shall not be estimatea when improvements too gay with Mre. Ed Blair, with whom he is said 10 have gone out bicycle riding.

Gray and James M. Oliver, will be pub- lished Josh, in the interest of the uni- versity men of the Pacific Coast. In appearance the new Josh is bright, clean-looking and “smart.” In many re- | spects it recalls the attractive features of | New York Life. In policy it is apparently conservatively aggressive. Its salutatory runs in this way: Newspapers mold public opinion, so some one has said. Poor, moldy Publie Opinionl They have told you that with this issue Josh becomes a lampoon of the most lampoony ivpe; that henceforth Josh wilt cut and slash out fear of God, man or the faculty. othing of the sort. As for cutting and slash- ing, that will only be turned in what you will all agree is the Tight direction; and as for fear—well, we have not really beguu to trem- ble as yet. But, most positively, we do mnot seek an empty treasury, nor fifty-odd libel suits. In the words of the countiry editor’s | first edition, “we have come to stay,” and shall | remain just o long as you show your apprecia- tion of the witty side of life. When that is gone Josh wishes to die. Same to you. There is a manifest intention to make the paper newsy, as far as compatible with the avoidance of crouble, and with that idea bards even the opinion of the dailies is not scormed by the management, which sub- mitted advance copies yester: for a “no- tice” in_ these columns. Similarly the sweet girl graduate is catered to, although * in a critically superior style that is strictly non-committal. The editor will also en- | deavor to take the alumni into camp. He | says: Among the new features of Josh which we hope soon to introduce is a series of letters from the alumni throughout the State. There is not one among us that would not enjoy hear- ing of Brown in Portland, Smith in Los Ange- lesand Jones in the interior. Their college training still influences their actions, and sometimes they do things really humorous. Josh will let you judge ere long. _ The illustrations are distinctly good and the advertising patronage shows a faith that is encouraging. : | Michigan Will Meet Berkeley. A number of prizes have been offered | BERKELEY, OAr., March 13.—The Uni- versity of Michigan track team wants to meet the Berkeley athletes should they go Kast this summer. Captairr Merwin of the U. C. team received word to this affect from the Michigan manager to-day.
