Women Vote at St. Mark’s. BERKELEY, CAL., April 8.—The regu- lar annual meeting for the election of war- dens and vestrymen of St. Mark’s Church was held Jast night. The election was the first at St. Mark’s in which women were allowed vote, and & large number of Indies availed themselves of their new privilege. All of the old officers were re-elected, as | follows: Senior warden, James Palache; junior warden, S. 8. C. Parker; secretary, G. W. Kline; treasurer, Francis G. Hob- son; vestryman, Professor W. A. Merrill. A'report was Teceived from Treasurer Hobson showing that the entire floating indebtedness of the church and the ex- penses of installing the new vested choir had been liquidated. The construction of a new church build- ing was discussed by the members of the church. The present church has been gregation. On recent Sundays chairs have been used in all the aisles and in the hall- ways. The rector, Rev. George A. Swan, provosed the erection of a large temporary church building, to furnish room until a new church can be secured. The plan ap- peared to meet with much favor among those present.

Third—It carries the electric and wagon road across the new bridge and along Alice and Second streets to Broadway. In addition to these advantages there are others that will at once commend them- selves to those familiar with the situation. To attain an altitude of sufficient height to allow the electric and wagon road to go over the steam tracks there will have to be an approach built from either side. That from Webster street to the bridge roadway will have a grade of about two feet in 100, and that from Second street will havea grade of about tiree feet 1n 100. The present First-street track can be sunk so as to permit the electricand wagon roads to go up a grade that will soon reach a point above it that will prevent horses from_being frightened, as the elec- tric track will be on that side and between the narrow-gauge and the wagon road. The plans show more clearly than any pos- sible description how the single bridge can be made to accommodate all the trathc aad afford desired relief to navigation. The proposed bridge across from Alice street will not meet with the approval of the Adams estate, as it bas just completed some fine wharves east of Alice street, and is anxious, if possible, to have the new bridge east of its wharves, so that there will be no obstruction between them and the bay. But neither this plan nor any other that does not provide for placing the bridze across the estuary from the foot of Webster street will be altogeLher acceptable to the people in the west end of Alameda, although the plan proposed by Mr. Patti- ani is far more acceptable to that section than would be a bridge east of Alice street. The most commendable feature of the proposed plan is that it will’put the vari- ous interests named to the least possible expense and will afford the most direct benefit. The suggestion of Mr. Curtis of the Southern Pacific Company that some time next year the company intend to numbers of bouquets were thrown upon the stage for the performers. At one point in the performance a call was made for Russ, the composer of the farce. Heap- peared upon the stage and with a bow re- cognized the compliment. To add savor to the lines of the comedy such realistic hits as these were given: : “Marriage is an unusually long time for a-girl to be responsible for a man’s ex- pense,” and *if a man has $50,000 society will forgive 50,000 faults as long as the money lasts.”’ That the farce savors somewhat of the satirical may be gained from the following lines from act I1: It may be a foolish idea, but still you cannot deny that we are all Argonauts so long as you lc’h?]ose to call the Golden Flecce the Almighty ollar. Following were the players: William Hubbard, a college man, Mr. Thomp- son; John S.Talbot, ¢ man of business, Mr. Hutchins; Allen Borden, attorney for both sides of the Clifton will case, Mr. Veeder: Sir Hugh Fitz Hugh Riley, Bart., Carr; the Rev.

For the past five weeks the committee in charge of the affair has been actively at work plannig for its success. The expense of the occasion will be torne | by a party of fifty University men, largely ‘f from the two upper classes, who have taken 1t upon themselves to see that the affair is & success. Each of the fifty has been entitled to four tickets of admission, | thus making 200 admissions in all. -The number has been limited to 200 so as to prevent an overcrowding of the hall, such as has characterized several recent parties in the gymnasium. A The invitations have been distributed largely among the prominent menibers of | the principal dancing clubs of Oakland and of San Francisco, =0 that the affair | has the promise of beinz one of the| swellest functions ever held in university | circles at Derkeley. The questian of whether the party should be a cotillon or | in the nature of an assembiy has at last been definitely settled. The first half of the evening will be given up to assembly dancing, after which three figures of the erman will be introduced. Clinton R. §an.<a will lead and will be assisted by H.

Speeches will be made and toasts offered to the bride and groom, and after supper the floor of the hall will be cleared for dancing. merce demands that there be but one| bridge across the estuary instead of the | two structures that now obstruct naviga- tion. Attention is now being given to the | best design for a new steel bridge, and the ‘ most feastble plan yet presented is that of | A. W. Pattiani, an architect of this city. | The plans drawn by Mr. Pattiani have | been submitted to practical engineers and | pronounced perfectly feasible. They con- | tain all the suggestions and ideas neces- | sary to reconcile the various interests in- volved. i The main features of the new plan as | outlined by the engineer are: First—It removes Webster-street bridge | and secures a new one at Alice street which will meetthe demands of the United | States Government. | Second—It carries the narrow-gauge | | stead in writing this ome. by Raymond John Russ and played by the local chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon | fraternity, of which he is a'member. Shat- | tuck Hall wase crowded to the very doors with guests, and many could not find even standing room. One thousand invitations bad been sent out and the response was hearty in the extreme. The guests counted the affair a brilliant success from begin. ning to end. The play was in three acts and three scenes, and possessed throughout the ele- ments of a well-planned and a well-de- | veloped comedy. The plot was complete | and well connected, so that there was but | little diffculty in following out the threads of the play. Most of the charac- ters were weil si ined, the setting was very fitting and the parts were performea almost without a hitch. This was not the first production of the kind by Russ, and | bis former experience served him in good The chief criticism which might be offered against it wasits extreme length, This point might be overlooked,however, when the excellency with which the per- | formers played their parts is considered.

ALAMEDA, Car., April 8.—Frank Kill- inger, a boy 11 years old, was knocked senseless hy wheelmen last night. He was crossing Park street in front of No. 1320, which is his father’s place of busi- ness, when he was run into by a trio of wheelmen who are to ride in the relay race and were training for that event. They were G. A. Nissen of the Acme team and F. D. Taft and E. M. Whalley of the Alameda Cyclers. The wheels of Nissen | ana Taft struck the boy, and wheels, iders and the victim went down in a con- fused heap, Whalley managed to sheer off and es- cape. The wheelmen were not injured and at once remounted their wheels and | rode away. The boy was badly burt, it is feared internally. Warrants were issued | for the arrest of the riders on a charge of | violating the ordinance by riding at such a high rate of speed. Mayor Effey to Speak. ALAMEDA, Car., April 8.—The Munici- pal Ownership League, avowedly orgamzed to create a Yublic sentiment favorable to eity owsnership of light and water plants and to elect members to the municipal board who will fayor such measures, will hold a meeting on Saturday evening and will be addressed by Robert Effey, Mayor of Santa Cruz. Mr. Effey will inform the | geople of Alameda of the advantages that | Santa Cruz has enjoyed by reason of own- ing its own water supply. An organization in opposition to the Municipal Ownership League is talked of. There are a good many people who do not favor municipal ownership, especially as exemplified in Alameda’s experiment, and who especially do not approve of the increase of taxes—amounting to 20 per, cent during the current year—that such ownership entails, These may emphasize their disapproval in an organization that will formally protest. Railroad Improvements. ALAMEDA, Cay., April 8.—The streets and grounads in the vicinity of the broad- gauge depot are to be finely improved. Lincoln avenue is to be bituminized by property-owners and all the company’s gr')unds will be likewise improved, the ecision to do so being arrived at this morning at a conference of the Superin- tendent of Streets, City Engineer and the railway officials. This will make a depot and surroundings such as Alameda has loug desired and striven for. The next move will be to get some of the private property adjacent to the depot improved. Visiting the Alameda Schools. ALAMEDA, Car., April 8.—8. T, Black, State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, began to-day a thorough inspection ot the Alameda schools. He visited the schools to-day and will visit the others to- morrow, after which he will be tendered | a reception by the teachers. Mr. Black is the first State Superintendent to visit of- ficially the schools of Alameda. Covered With Liens. ALAMEDA, CAL., April 8.—The tenth lien has been_filed on the Eucinal Hall building at Bay station, built for Mrs, Mary R. Mastick. The claim is put in by William Mann and J. Mole ang is for $1278. This brings the liens filed on this building up to a total of $4698, RIGHTS OF CYCLISTS. A Lady Rider's Damage Suit Against an Electric Street Railroad Company. OAKLAND, CaL., April 8.—The suit of J.

The attorneys are pre- paring for a big contest as the suit is somewhat unique and involves some nice points of law as to the rignts of the road, and the matter of necligence as between bicyclists and persons in charge of electric cars.
