Crowley for alimony was heard and decided. The doctor's wife, t'rough her attorneys, W. R. Davis and ‘red L. Button, asked for $250 a month d $400 for counsel fees. After W. W. ote and R. M. Fitzgerald had concluded eir argument Judge Ogden decided that §150 a month was enough for Mrs. Crow- ey and her two children and $250 was ugh for h ttorneys. Attorney Davis opened the proceedings setting forth in general terms the alle- gations in Mrs. Crowley’s complaint for a divorce, Mr. Foote protested against this. He said that when the proper time came they would show that the charges of adul- and cruelty were those of a crazy n. Mr. Davis then read a lengthy affidavit that set forth all the allegations in the complaint.

Dr. Crowley is said to be in receipt of an income of $1000a month and to have bills outstanding to the amount ¢ ,000. Mr. Foote then stated the doctor's side of the cai le set torth that Mrs, Crowley, with unjust cause, had, on the 2tth ult., left her home on Alice street and, taking her ch n with her, had gone to live in an expensive hotel; that the de- fendant had informed Ler that she might return to her home and that she would be iree from annoyance on the part of the de- fendant or any other person; that the 1t would protect ber there; that e had reatedly made the same offer to her; that he now made the same offer again and that he is willing to guarantee ny protection which she may need or nand; that he | keep her supplied h food and clothing, care for her chil- | dren, pay all her bills and surrcund her h the necessary attendants to make At the same time, that it was necessary to sup- ere she is stcpping at the with nurses and medical the special care of his chil- s this denial on the fact t he is himself a medical man. For the same reason he denies that it_is necessary ide a certain amount of money with y for medicai attendance, be- urtesy which exists in ssion renders such an al- >ssary. He also asserts she y manner restricted in what chase for herself, her own and necessity being her r, and that she had always sole judge of what she was to The doctor further denies that ncome of $1000 a month, or that his income will exceed $950 a month ; that his expenses for office, help, borses, materials and other expenses exclusive of se of a personal character average $500. The doctor further denies that he has ore than $15,000 in outstanding accounts oks and says only 20 per cent is r. Foote concluded by offering counsel ) and alimony of $150 a month, He that Dr. Crowley would agree to leave home to his wife and live elsewhere, and that she could not say she was home- Mr. Davis said the court could not force Mrs. Crowley to return to the theater of ber troubles. She should be made a rea- nable allowance and be at liberty to choose her own home. After hearing all the evidence Judge Ogden said that Mrs. Crowley should be able to prepare her divorce case on $250 and to live on $150 a month. The attorneys for Dr. Crowley stated that within ten days after the filing of the complaint the answer would be filed and the 1mnocent woman whose name had been bandied all over the State would be exonerated entirely.

An Englishman, in Washington, at din- ner, declined to eat an ice frozen in the shape and colors of the American flag. This he did because he held it to be bad form to abeorb the National emblem. The incident was siznificant as showing the distinction and the difference between the British idea of patriotism and our own. Englishmen lift their hats when their fla; is carried past, and rise when the nlliunafi anthem is played in theaters and music halls. No true Briton, in trade or out of it, would use the flag of hiscountry for ad- vertising purposes.— Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. DEADLY BREATH N TELEPHONES, Pronounced More Danger- ous to Health Than Pro- miscuous Kissing, MUST BE DISINFECTED. An Oakland Physician Thinks the Board of Health Shou!d Investigate. LITTLE TOWELS NOW IN USE. An Apparently Trivial Matter That Will Interest All Users of 'Phones. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, April 7. There is danger ir the telephone. After one of the little bello boxes have been in general use for a few months the accumu- lation of promiscuous breaths on the inner plate of the mouthpiece contain microbes. Everybody who has used a telephone much knows how offensive is the odor of a mouthpiece of a’phone in general use. Men in the act of chewing tobacco will frequently talk and breathe into the mouthpiece, and it is very common to see a telephone on which the hot breath has been condensed, and presents the appear- ance of dew. Often people place their lips inside the mouthpiece and find the ma- chine is all wet with somebody’s offensive breath. This fact has been recognized for a Jong time in this city, and in many offices and stores a neat little towel is suspended from the mouthpiece, with which everybody that talks is expected to wipe the 'phone. Dr. O. L. Jones has made a careiul ex- amination of the mouthpieces of various telephones and is very pronounced in his opinion regarding the danger that lurks in the innocent-looking machines. : '00 much care cannot be shown in the use of the telephone,’” said the doctor to- day. “I have seen some of the most offen- sive matter in the mouthpiece of a public telephone. Breath from diseased Jungs breathed into them and in fact anything that comes out of the mouth of men and women. It does not need a plxg’swmn to see the wide field it affords for the dissem- ination of disease. any times you will see one person step up to a telephone just as soon as another has finished speaking. Adter aconversation through a_ telephone the mouthpiece is aimost invariably damp and many times the condensed breath runs out in drops. “1 have frequently unscrewed the mouthpiece and found a vile secretion in- side that was decidedly nauseating. It is not only objectionable, but it is dangerous and represented probably the accumula- tion 0} thousands of offensive breaths. It is strange to me that this matter has not been taken up before, as it is of far more importance than many matters that have been investigated. I remember not long ago an agitation being started about school-children geuin¥ the wrong caps and its attendant evils. This matter of telephone mouthpieces is of vastly more importance. *It is a matter that should be taken up by the various Boards of Health. It would be a_comparatively easy matter to arrange a disinfectant at the mouth of a telephone that would at once destroy any injurious particles that might be breathed into it. It would be a good plan for every telephone to be supplied with a little medicated towel, with which the mouth- piece should be wiped before being used. Much has been said and written about the aangers of promiscuous kissing, but they are very slight compared to what lurks in the mouthpiece of a telephone.” LIQUOR I BERKELEY, An Amended Ordinance That Threatens Men With Cellars. University Field Day Preparations. Foresters Meet—The Columbia Fire Company. BERKELEY, CarL., April 7.—Town At- torney Hayne has just completed the prep- aration of a number of amendments to the famous ordinance rezulating the sale and storace of liquor within the one mile limit of the university grounds. The pro- vision as tothe storage of liquor, upon which the recent successful attacks upon the liquor men was principally enacted, is retained in the pmgoscd amendment to the ordinance, but has a slight modifica- tion so as to correct the extreme .severity of the regulation. The amendment referred to names a detinite amount of liquor which is to be the limit that may be kept without a storage license. This change, it is argued, does away with the objection that the ordinance prevents the keeping of liquor for private use,as the amount allowed will be fully adequate for such purposes. It is assumed that parties who are ac- customed to keep more than the amount named in the amendment are selling liquor to others. Those who Lave been fighting the liquor ordinance and those whose statemenits had weight with Judge Frick when he decided that the ordinance was unconstitutional argued tbat the law was tyrannical in the extreme, and that, from the reading and sentiment of the ordinance, no one was allowed to keep even a small flask of liquor for his own private purposes. ; Josephb Doran of the California Hotel ‘was arrested yesterday afternoon under a clause of the ordinance that is still in force, the charge against him being that of maintaining an establishment in which intoxicants were sold in violation of the law. Doran was arrested once before under the unconstitutional storage clause of the ordinance and the case against him was thrown out when the clause was declared invalid in the appealed case of Stricker, but this time he cowes under the “seli- ing’ clause. . Bexg of the Acheson Hotel was ar- rested this afternoon for maintaining a place where liguor is sold. University Field Day. BERKELEY, Car., April 7.—The an- nual chamgiouship field dn{ of the Uni- vernltg of California will take place next Baturday afternoon on the Berkeley cinder track. Captain Merwin says that there will be more entries for this field day than at any otherin Berkeley for several vears past. This is attributed to the fact that another Eastern trip of representative university athletes has been planned for this summer. The work of the men on Saturday will largely determine who will be able to make places on the Eastern team. - Berkeley is strong this year in the weight and long-distance men, but is somewhat weak in the sprints ana middle distances. Both Captain Merwin and Manager Friend express hope that the sprints may be much strengthened. Those who are doing the most promising work in this event at the present time are Chick, Hupp, Dickie and Stevens. In a try-out the other evening Hupp covered the 100 in 10 4-5 seconds, Up to the present time Chick’s events were the fifty and seventy- five yard dash. Itis believed that all four of the men mentioned will make the dis- tance on Saturday in less than 10 4-5, but what Captain Merwin is_after is a 10-sec- ond man such as Scroggins. Town Board Meets. BERKELEY, CaL., April 7.—The Town Board held a short meeting last night. The opening of Sixth street over its entire length in the town limits and one-balf lock east and west was decided upon, and Engineer Huggins was instructed to pre- pare a resolution of intention to do the work., Town Attorney Hayne reported in the matter of the water lois offered to the town by W. B. Heywood, that the latter had declared himself willing {o deed the lots to the town at any time for wharf purposes. The lots are at the foot of Dela- ware street. A deed for them will prob- ably be secured from Mr. Heywood and placed in escrow toawait Berkeley’s readi- ness to build a wharf. President Richards announced that the water companies have not yet reached an agreement to divide the town, but that negotiations are still pending. No Decision Yet. BERKELEY, Car., April 7.—The Board of Town Trustees have not yet decided what to do with the Columbia Fire Com- pany for their alleged violation of the liquor law. The committee appointed to investigate the matter asked last night at the board meeting for further time. The firemen, in anticipation of a possible re- port against them ard action by the board looking to their disorganization as a fire company, have organized themselves into a Columbia Social Club. The new club’s officers are Robert Steedman, president; Connie Graham, vice-president; James Kenncy, secretary; E. G. Axx, treasurer; Andy Frick, muster of ceremonies. Foresters Entertain. BERKELEY, CAL., April 7.—An excep- ionally fine literary and musical pro- gramme was presented last night at Odd Fellows Hall to a crowded house by Court University, Ancient Order of Foresters. Following were the numbers rendered : Instrumental quartet, North Berkeley or- chestra; piano solo, Miss Bernice Kelly; piano solo, Dr. A.de Marconnay; overture to “*Poet and Peasant” (Suppe); address, Mr. Francis; mandohn and piano duet, ‘““Angels’ Serenade,”” the Misses Hess; nddress, Mr. Nulty; vocal solo, “‘Ben Bolt,”” Miss Bernice Kelly; overture with chimes, Berkeley orchestra; address, Mr. Faulkner; reading, Mr. Chese; piano solo, Dr. A. de Marconnay; humorous reading, Mr. Chase. ‘Will Ratify His Plans. BERKELEY, CaL., April 7.—A meeting of the associated students of the Univer- sity has been called for next Thursday afternoon to ratify the plans of Manager Friend for the conduct of the Eastern atbletic tour, and to take definite measures with regard to supporting the big benefit field day which will be given on May 2 at Central Park.

BOY BURGLARS ARE FREE Now They Want to Meet the Man Who Promised an Excursion. Avxious to Know if He Will Hold Out on Them Because They Were No! Spanked. OARLAND OFFICE SAX FrANcisco CALy,) 908 Broadway, April 7. | The trio of little burglars who have been in the City Prizon for over two weeks was released by Judge Wood to-day. tions of the boys were thoroughly boyish and did not indicate any develoned crim- inal traits and the Judge thought their present experience in a prison cell was sufficient punishment. The little fellows gave as their reason for committing the burglary that they wanted for once to have all the candy they could eat, and they also had a desire to go and see a big city. Two of the boys had never crossed the bay. Consequently when they saw the means to fulfill both their desires ina grocer’s shop they threw a stone through the window, crawled in and helped them- selyes. ‘While in prison a very generous offer was made by John T. Bell, who is well known in this city. The offer will have to be kept, as the boys have announced their intention of taking advantage of it, Mr. Bell published a statement in which he gaid: “I have a feeling of sympathy for those young rascals and believe that if Chief Lloyd, with the consent of Judge Wood, would spank them and send them home tre safety of society will not be jeopar- dized. Later on when they have added a decade or two to theiragesit may be neces- sary, perhaps, to round them up againand send them to the penitentiary, but the spanking would just about meet the needs for this occasion, When I was a youung- ster I had the same craving for candy which these little fellows have (and which was seldom gratified), and also a desire to see a big city, and when, at the age of 10, I was taken to Quiney, 1L, with its teeming, swarming population of 20,000 and was given a whole half-dollar with which to buy candy there was not a happier boy in fourteen counties than I was. And then, t00, [ was something of a thief myself at the same tender age. “I hope that Judge Wood will release these embryo malefactors this time, and if they will hunt me up I will gladly pro- vide funds snfficient to pay their way over to San Francisco and out to Golden™ Gate Park and return, with a margin large enough to buy all the candy they can eat during the day.” The boys sald to-day that Mr., Bell would certainly be hunted up, and that he would be Jucky if he kept his promise and was rot out more than $5. “A trip to Golden Gate Park—where's that?” asked “Chicken’”” Pacheco. *‘Guess he never seen me eat candy,” said Frank Dellaroco. But Robert Ash could not speak for a moment. Presently he said: “Didn’t the man say that he'd treat if we were let off with a spanking?"” “That’s what,” said two disappointed voices. Now all three are considering if Mr. Bell will try to save his “treat’” be- cause there was no trouncing done. ABUSED HIS WIFE. Mary Alameda Divorced at Twenty- Two, After Six Years’ Wedded Life. ALAMEDA, Car., April 7.—Mary Ala- meda was granted a divorce to-day by Judge Frick, the custody of her little girl and the community property, valued at $1500, in lien of alimony. The hushanda was given the two boys. He made no contest to the proceedings. According to the evidence she married Manuel P. Alameda about six years ago, when she was only sixteen. He was her senior by several years and had a place near Mission San Jose. He promised to make her happy, but soon after the wed- ding he became abusive, attempting to make her a drudee and slave. On many occasions he struck and beat her, ———— England's national anthem was first sung in public in 1740, The ac- | LIBRARY MEN TO MEET, Convention of the Central Cali- fornia Association at Alameda.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION. Work on the Extension of the Electric Light Plant Stopped. ALAMEDA, CaL., April 7.—Work on the extension of the Alameda municipal elec- tric plant was stopped to-day at noon. Last night the Board of Uity Trustees managed to allow two bills of $450 and $2500 respectively on account of the con- tracts entered intofor the extension be- fore a Deputy Sherift could serve notices of the second injunction against them. The first injunction had been dissolved during the day because of an informality, but the second injunction was issued im- mediately thereafter. It was not of force, however, until notice had been served upon those whom it was directed against, and there was thereforea hiatus. The officer with the writ was in the City Hall for some time before the board opened its session, but was not alert enough to perform his auty until after de- mnfs as above stated had been formaliy passed. The contractors did not get their money, however, as Treasurer Wheeler was noti- tied by the attorney who sued out the in- junction not to honor the warrants, and abided the notification. He will pay no money on account of this improvement until its legal statusis settled in the courts. The Board of Municipal Trustees passed a resolution, afier they had been enjoined, notifying the contractors to knock oft work: 'Fha contractors, however, were not served with it in the morning. and went on as usual. At noon, however, they re- ceived notification, and all work ceased. About $15,000 worth of work has been contracted for, and an engine has been ordered from the East. Electrical machin- ery has also been ordered aud one side of the old building has been torn out to re- ceive an addition, leaving the machinery exposed. Theplantisina very bad shape, and unless the question at issue is speedily decided, damage is likely to result. The matter is creating factions and is regarded by all conservative citizens as most un- fortunate in every respect. VOTED. An Innovation in the Election of Vestry- men at Christ Church. ALAMEDA, Can, April 7.—Women were allowed to vote at Christ Episcopal Church last evening.

OAKLAND, CaL., April 7.—The Seventh Ward Republican Club has been asked to name its choice of delegate to the Sacra- mento convention. Committeeman George P. Morrow has sent the following letter to President Dow: Mr. W. A. Dow, President Seventh Ward Repub- lican Club—DEAR SIR: Pursuant to our conver- sation of even date, I beg to say again thal as I am unfamiliar with the names of your leading Republicans who desire;to attend the State Con- vention called for the purpose of naming dele- gates to the National Convention, and further, having no desire whatever to dictate to my fellow Republicans, I would request that your club, which, I arainformed, is large and thor- oughly representative,meet and select names to serve ‘as delegates, with this assurance, over my signature, that they will be appointed. { cannot at this writing inform you how many delegates your ward is entitied to under the State Central Committee’s apportionment, but as soon as ascertained I will communicate with you, As the names do not have to be handed in before April 25 ample time is allowed for careful selection, Trusting this will meet with the approval of the club, I beg to subscribe myself, very sin- cerely yours, GEORGE P. MORROW. The Seventh Ward Club will meet to- morrow night to consider Mr. Morrow’s proposition. THE CONTEST ENDED. ‘William F. Rasiante Is Selected as San Leandro’s Post- master. SAN LEANDRO, CAL., April 7.—W. F. Rasiante received word to-day from Wash- ington, D. C., that he had been nominated by the President as postmaster at this place. This ends a most bitter contest between local factions, but leaves a breach that it will take long to repair. This is a Presidential office that pays $1200 a year. Mr. Gray, the incumbent, has not kept it up to the condition it was when he took it. His term expired De- cember 16,1895. The successful candidate is a saloon-keeper and was mdorsed by John P. Irish, John Glascock and Governor Budd. The other candidates were Fred Meyers, 8 merchant of the town, and Dan Mec- Carty, editor of the San Leandro Re- rter. The latter was indorsed by enator White and Warren B. English, but his opponents filed charges at Wash- ington against him to tbe effect that he had voted for Blaine in 1884. This was strongly denied, and numerous affidavits were presented in support of the denial, kb;ut prejudiced the authorities against im. JERE LYNCH IS HAPPY, He Telegraphs That the Hale & Norcross Mine Will Open To-Day. “All Is Brilliant” on the Cemsteck, and Jemes Cronan Will Be the Superintendent. If all goes well in Virginia City the Hale & Norcross mine will be in full operation within a few days and work resumed to- day. Such was the information received at the office of the company in this City yesterday in the following telegram: Mine will reopen to-morrow. Everything brilliant. LYNCH. “I would conclude from that dispatch,’”’ remarked the secretary, ‘‘that Mr. Lynch has got things running his way. We ex- pected this would take place just when the right time came. “James Cronan, an old-time mining man, has gone up there also to take charge of the work, We don’t know, however, if he will be the superintendent, though that is pretty well understood at the pres- ent time,” Tangerman, who had to leave Virginia City at the request of the miners, has evi- dently taken a back seat, and Jere Lynch, the mining reformer, was forced to respect the wishes of the people on the Comstock. With James Cronan in control no com- plaint is expected from the Miners’ Union, and the Hale & Norcross mine will con- tinue operating without opposition. It was stated at the City office yesterday that about 500 tons of valuable ore was on the surface. Arrangements had been made with Colonel Bob Logan, superintendent of the Brunswick mill, to crush this rock. “\We ought to get $10,000 out of this body of ore,’’ the secretary explained, “‘and that should pay all expenses for the current month and leave anice bonus. The stock was run down to §115 and then it went up to $140; it is $130 to-day and may do better no BURIED DULL CARE. El Dorado Parlor Celebrates the Ob- sequies With More Than Usual Hilarity. “Universal Trouble” was buried deep last night, and his interment celebrated by a banquet at Native Sons’ Hall. The members of El Dorado Parlor No. 52 and their guests were the merry mourners, and the ‘‘funeral baked meats” were of the best, while, as for the drinks, it would be hard to savy whether quality or quantity was most to be admired. The invitations were printed in silver on a black, coffin-shaped card, and included an announcement to the effect that the moon would be half full, and mourners w'erl'e:t expected not to outdo the orb of night. uring the evening a fine musical and literary programme was rendered. Pro- fessors Burke and Emil Graeber on the piano and Charles Graeber on the banjo were much applauded, Jules Kahn gave some humorous recitations, while T. Eck- ert and Ferris Hartmann’s songs were worthy of the singers, A mandolid and guitar trio, by M. Perrin and the Dietz brothers, was another fine number. A, Poole, Segommer of the Orpheum, P, Daly, J. Sparks and other singers and special- iste also did their part to render the even- ing enjoyable. he success of the affair was due in great part to the painstaking endeavors of the committee on arrangements, Dr. W. J. Hawkins S’chairm:n), L. Mayer, F. Bragg, T, Brady, J. Muehe and H. Schumacher. Kl Dorado Parlor’s entertainments have the fame of being “all around good times,”’ but last night's social was said by many of those present to have outshone its pre- decessors.
