Parsons, one of the first residents of Oakland, died Monday &t his home at 652 Webster street. The estate of Seth Richards has been ap- praised at $139,095, Mrs. Nasano Galindo, & relic of the old Spanish family of that name, aied &t 519 Fourth street on Sunday after residing in this city for twenty-five years. The deceased was 86 years of age and was born in this State when it was a province of 014 Mexico. Sing Young, a Chinese vegetable gardener, was found dead in his field at Shattuck avenue and Brenton street, Berkeley, yesterday. Judge Greene has confirmed the sale by F. R. Whitcomb, administrator of the estaté of J. B. Whitcomb, to Maurice 8. Woodhams of property near the intersection of Choate street and Durant avenue in Berkeley. The consid- cration was $2430. D. McQuarrie, who sued the Alameda and Oakland Electric Railway Company for $25,000 for damages sustained in a collision with a pole of the company at Park street and Railrood avenue, Alameda, has entered a satis- faction of judgment in the case on the receipt of the sum of $500. The case of Ellen P. Benson and her hus- band, §.J.Benson, for $25,000 for damages against the East Oakland Street Railway Com- pany was begun before Judge Ogden this morning. The complaint sets forth that Ellen Benson was injured by being thrown off a car of the company in question at East Twenty- first street and Nineteenth avenue some time last year. Judge Greene has issued an order and de- ee of settlement in the estate of Catherine Mann, deceased, d istributing certain property in Eden Township to Hubert L. Mann and an- other part to Jacob Jensen. uNO PLACE LIKE HOME" Davis Anpounces That He Will Not Hear of a Congressional Nomination. Hilborn Seems to Have an Excel'ent Prospect to Succeed Him- self. OAKLAND OrFIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, May 12, } To-day’s developments in the hght for the Republican Congressional nomina- tion have placed that struggle in a new sight. Judge Frick has openly declared that he is not a candidate to succeed himself, but that he is strictly in the Congressional race. Ex-Mayor W. R. Davis has been asked by hundreds of Republicans to run for the office, but he has positively declined. He | said that he was supporting Mr. Hilbern; that the latter was at his post of duty and had rendered a good account of him- self; that in his first term Mr. Hilborn was hampered by a contest and eventually unseated, so that he served but a frag- ment of his term; that in his present term up to date he has had time only to THEY EXPECTED “A GOOD TIME" Alameda Supervisors Sur- prised When They Found Brains. HAD NOTHING TO SAY. Johnson Hurried Back to Oak- land to Retrieve Their Dignity. HIS EFFORT WAS TOO LATE. Before Any Showing Could Be Made the Convention Had Finally Adjourned. OaxvLAND OrricE S8Ax FrAncisco CAm.,x> 908 Broadway, May 12. The Alameda County Bupervisors went to San Jose expecting that the convention of Supervisors from all over the State would result as most such conventions do, in having a good time. They were awfully disappointed, somewbat chagrined and very much surprised at the result. When the minutes of that convention are pub- lished the rest of the State will conclude that Alameda County was not represented at all. This result was brought about by a mis- conception on the part of the Alameda board. When the invitation to attend the convention was received Mr. Church suz- gested that it be accepted and *‘we all go down and have a good time.”” That hur- ried assumption was a very grave error. ‘Whatever previous conventions called for similar purposes may bave produced, this one that closed at San Jose to-day was one conducted on business-like principles. The various SBupervisors went to it pre- vared to show by charts and figures just what they were doing and how others might benefit from their experience in specific directions. It was an interesting ard valuable lot of data that was presentea and all went well until some one unfor- tunately proposed that the gentlemen from Alameda should be heard from. The ‘‘gentlemen from Alameda’” were Super- visors Church, Johnson and Beriley, and they bad gone prepared for nothing but *'a good time,” never dreaming thet the State convention of Bupervisors would develop anything more interesting than a discus- sion on good roads held in the Oakland boardroom a few months ago. Consternation was expressed on the faces of the Oakland trio and they asked for time. They had to do some- thing, they knew not what, but they real- ized that the ‘“good time” was only a dream, and that their brother Supervis- ors were stupid enough to expect some get a fair start, and that it would be pol- icy to keep him there. “I will refuse to consider a proposition to be a candidate for Congress,” said Mr. Davis, At the Third Congressional District Con- vention, conducted by the primary dele- gates, the following resolution was unani- mously passed : Resolved, That we heartily commend and ap- | prove the course of our Congressman, Hon. S, G. Hilborn, as_our representative in Congress, and we recognize and appreciate his fidelity in the discharge of his important trust. Although Judge Frick has many friends, at present it is an open secret that they are more anxious to see Judge Greene have a clear road to succeed himseif than to send Frick to Washington. With all the indorsements he has received, ana with the posiiive statement that Mr. Davis will not enter the race, it will require some remarkable manipulating to prevent Mr. Hilborn from being renominated, although it is agreed on all sides that whoever does get the Republican nomination will be the next Congressman from this aistrict. W. H. Friend, one of the leaders in the primary election movementin this county, said to-dey: “Ido not think that there will be any more movementsof importance in local politics until after the Fourth of July. It would manifestly be out of order to call a Congressional convention until after the St. Louis convention, which witl meet June 16 and last several days. Then there will be a hurrah period lasting till the Fourth of July, and after that we will get down to business again.’’ The numerous candidates that are de- claring themselves, or being declared by their friends, are as numerous as bees, but it is safe to say that a vast majorify of their booms will have disappeared before the convention meets. Mrs. J C CamPrery TWO ALAMEDA COUNTY LADIES WHO ARE ARI-)ENT SUFFRAGISTS, intellivent epitome of how Alameda County’s business was conducted. Supervisor Johnson was sent back post- haste to Oakland with instructions to “bring something,” though what, he scarcely knew. He rushed into the County Clerk’s office this morning and asked County Clerk Jordan *‘for a giswry of the county in half an hour.” Mr. Jordan was staggered, but he imme- mediately set his deputies to work and by noon whole columns of figures were ready and Mr. Johnson was packing them in his valise ready to catch the 2:15 P. M. train for Ban Jose. Soon after Mr. Johnson had lett and long before he was within & dozen miles of the convention, a dispatch wasreceived at the County Clerk’s office saying *‘hat the Su- pervisors had adjourned and that the data would be too late. Now everybody is wondering how Ala- meda will be treated in the published min- utes of the convention. MRS. COLEMAN’S DEATH. Widow of the Late W. T. Coleman Dies Very Unexpectedly at Her Sister's Home. OAKLAND, CAr., May 12.—Mrs. Cassie M. P. Coleman, widow of tiie late W. T. Coieman, the San Francisco pioneer and capitalist, died very suddenly and unex- pectedly at the home of her sister, Mrs. H. D. Bacon, 960 Oak street, this morning, She had only béen in the city a week. Mrs. Coleman had been in feeble health ever since her husband died about three years ago, but her death was not antici- pated at this time. Her only surviving child is Robert L. Coleman, who is mar- ried and resides at Burlingame. The life of her husband, William T. Coleman, is closely identified witn the early history of California and he was a leader in the famous Vigilance Committee that did so much to clear S8an Francisco of the tongh characters that swarmed into the City. 5 The deceased was Miss Carrie M. Page, a daughter of D. D. Page, a well-known Bostonian and now a St. Louis capitalist. Mr. Coleman had been in California from 1849, and in 1852 returned East and claimed his_school-girl friend as a bride. They resided in New York City for someftime, and it was here that C. Carleton Coleman was born. They later moved to St. Louis, where Robert Coleman was born. In 1870 Mrs. Coleman came to S8an Francisco to join her husband, who had been here for several years. Both snmgrew up and married, but C. Carleton died several years ago, leaving a son. No nrnniementu have been made for the funeral, but it will be private and the remains sent East, to be family vault beside those of gluced in the er husband. OAKLAND'S EXPOSITION This Year Will Be on a Much Larger Scale, With Many Attractions Added. OAKLAND, Cavr., May 12.—The direc- tors of the Oakland exposition held an en- thusiastic meeting last evening, with Vice- President Keller in the ch: Those pres- ent were: Messrs. Booth, Roeth, Bharp, Gier, Trowbridge, Becker and Bell. The unanimous opinion of all present was that the exposition this year should be held early in August, although the exact date was left until the next meeting, May 21. It was suzgested that by fencing in the whole vacant lot surrounding the main building and covering it with canvas a sort of summer garden could be created by means of plants, flowers, evergreens and shrubbery in boxes, and which iighted up at night by electricity would produce a charming resort, which at this time of the year would prove very popular, in view of the fact that the admission is to be kept at last year’s very popular prices, These grounds would fitted out with refreshment booths, shady nooks and walks, with music to add to its attractive- ness. It was also shown that by having the exposition in August tbe display of fruit could be made a very important feat- ure, and that the active co-operation of the outside districts of the county would thus be enlisted in making it a grand suc- cess, A new feature for this year will be the special d-ilto_r the various towns in the county, when it is expected the residents of the town whose day it is will Erapara and present the programme. In this way there will be a varied programme and each section will be given a nd opportunity 1o show the features to the best advantage. It will be a day and eveningdevoted to the s‘emnz forth of the advantages of that sec- tion, SOCIALISTS ORGANIZE. Articles of Incorporation Filed by the Co-Operative Association.

Hirst, a student in the College of Civil Engineering at the State University, will be recommended by the Academic Coun- cil to the Board of Regents at their annual meeting in Berkeley to-morrow morning as the medalist for the class of '96. 1t was nct known until late last night who would be recommended as the most distincuished student in the class, and it 1s understood that there was considerable wrangling among the professors before a decision could be reached, as several others were close upon the trail of Hirst. Theoders de Laguna, Miss Eleanor Ben- nett and Hubert Wyckoff ranked with very high sections in scholarship and the awarding of the medal stood between Hirst and one of these three.

BERKELEY, Can, May 12—Dr. John ‘Watson, the eminent Canadian philoso- pher, delivered the last of his series of public addresses on philosophy to-night at Harmon Gymnasium to a well-fillea house. The topic of his address was the “‘Greek and Christian Ideals ot Life.” He compared the Greek and the Christian ideals of life, considering first Christianity as originally tapght by its founder and secondly as afterward modified. “The essential feature of religion,” he said, “‘is the consciousness of the principle that gives meaning to life and enables in- dividuals to look beyvond the evils of the vresent. If a religion does not idealize life it has no effect.’ He defined religion as a principle of consciousness or unity that is manifest in the world we know. The early Greek re- ligion conceived the divine as revealed in nature in an indefinite way, such as in the trees, the running brooks, the skies, the sun and the moon. Christ gave the new starting point. The true source of immorality is the eternal violation of the law of love. The ultimate source of morality is traced to religion be- cause the love of God is identical with the love of man. There is no absolute inter- vention between the ideal and the real. The world is not in subjection to the influences of evil but to the influences of God. The power of the wicked is given to them for the highest manifestation of good. The power of evil can be overcome only by the implements of self-sacrifice and loving impulses. flsmart Broadway, New York, druggist has this sign hanging outside his store; it marks the new era of drug selling, Is it any wonder that he has to enlarge his quar- ters, that his clerks are busy, and that his store is one of the most popular along the leading thor- oughfare? ou can afford to trade with a druggist that has such a motto as that.
