In thiscity the “par- Jor meetings’’ are being pushed and much active work is being done by suffragi ts.

Rev. Eiiza T.

WCULD MARAY A CHILD Mrs. Furtado Appeals to the Courts to Gain Control of Her Girl. A Wealthy Rancher, Well-Advanced in Years, Desires to Wed a Child of 14 OAKLAND OFfFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 23. Mjys. J. Furtadp, by her attorney, Ben ¥. Woolner, filed an application this after- noon for a writ oi habeas corpus, to com- pel the Azeredas family, at Twenty-third avenue, to produce her child, a girl of 14 years of age. Behind this application is a love story of a romantic nature. The girl’s mother resides in San Francisco, and the chiid has been boarding with her brother at the home of the Azeredases. It was while here that Manuel Fuariado, a man nearly 50 years of age, first met the pretty, dark- eyved coquettish maiden. The casual acquaintanc- soon ripened into something more than mere frieadshio. While the family name is the same there is no relationship between the two. The Romeo of the affair is a well-to-do rancher well advanced in age, but be de- clares his love for ihe child is_ardent and | deep despite the discrepancy in ages. The mother, however, objected when she found how matters stood and refused her consent to such a marriage and notified the County Clerk not to issue any licenses for the event. 3 0 IEC All attempts to induce the girl to with her mother were futile and mother now applies to the court to get conirol of her, charging the Azeredas family with concealing the child until arrangements can be made to get her and her lover to sea, where there would be no bar to a marriage. She declares that Fur- tado hus spent money iavisuly to induce the Azeredas to hold the girl for him, ———— * Company F's Benefit. OAKLAND, Cav., Sept. 23.—Company F,N. 6.

LIFE SAVED BY A RUBBER BAKD The Remarkable Escape of an Electric Railroad Motorman. MELTED A GOLD CHAIN. His Watchguard Came in Con- tact With an Gpen Controller on His Car. RECEIVED THE FULL VOLTAGE. The Current Burned His Coat and Vest but Stopp:d When It Met the Rubber. ALAMEDA, CAL. Sept. 23.—Motor- man E. V. Marx of the Alameda, Oakland ana Piedmont electric line has been receiv- | ing congratulations all day on his narrow escape from instant death yesterday. He received the full voltage of the electric current and livea to tell of it. It was during the rain of yesterday morning that the accident happened. | The car, being thoroughly wet, acted as a first-class conductor, and when a watch chain came in contact with an open con- troller-box it completed a circuit which came near killing Mr. Marx. The car was on Santa Clara avenue, near Webster street, at the time of the accident, and as a result he is wearing a new coat and vest to-day. Marx made the following report of the accident to the officials of the line. He said: “I had burned out one of my motors, and opened the controller box to fit a new | one. After working at it I left the box | open and ran the car along. When 1 had an opportunity I leaned over to see how everything was geing. All of a sudden there was a blinding flash and I was thrown violently back against the front door of the car. I was the most surprised man imaginabie; but on gathering myseif together I found that I was not injured, but my watch-chein was melted into a shapeless mass and my coat was burned badly on the side where my watch was. “I'was surprised to find my watch was not ruined, but I have decided that it was saved by a mere chance. Some time ago 1 broke my chain and fastened my watch That was a non- conductor and stopped the current.” Many reports have been made of men who received electric shocks during rain- storms, but this is the most serious case yet reported. WILL STUDY THE BRAIN New Psychological Laboratory for the State Univer- sity. Dr. Stratton Wiil T.ke Charge—Fifty Students Already En- rolled. BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 23.—The estab- lishment of the new psychological labora- tory at the State University, for which ar- rangements are now being made, will mark an era in the history of the depart- ment of philosophy at Berkeley. The Board of Regents have set aside about $1200 which will be used in the con- struction of aspecial laboratory for the use of the department. Dr, George M. Stration will take charge of the work. Ahout fifty students have already regis- tered for coursesin the department, but as yet little practical work has been accomplished because of lack of room and the unfavorable condition of the building in which the apparatus is stored. Dr. Siratton, in speaking to-day of the new line of work to be inaugurated at Berkeley, sa “The psychological laboratory will serve Var.oas purposes. By means of it the nature of experimental psychology can be brought before siudents with a definiteness and force that can never be attained merely by reading or by listen- inz to lectures... Another work will be that of investigating in various fields which kave hitherto never been subjected to «cientific experiment. “The nature of the experiments in psychology requires that the laboratory be in some quiet, isolated spot, and that a number of rooms be at the disposal of the investigators. The person experimented DR. GEORGE M. STRATTON, Who Will Take Charge of the New upon must, as far as possible, be protected from outer disturbances. “He is generally placed in a room sound- proof and absolutely dark and communi- cates solely by means of an electric ke with the. person conducting the experi- ment. Then there must be room for elee- tric batteries and for chemicals, a separate room where the delicate instruments are kept, and a room from which prisms, lenses or reflectors can carry any desired ray of licht to a_screen before the eve of the subject in the dark room. For the teaching work of a laboratory a large demonstratiom room is also essential. “The apparatus is for the most part espe- ciaily designed for p-{cholugi al experi- ments. One general class of instruments pres-nts with great nicety different ob- jects either to the eye or to the ear or to one of the other senses, ‘A second class of instruments is not for producing . changes, but for recording them. We have inthis group instruments for noting lapses of time as short as a thousandth of a_second, or for recording the slightest variations in the volume or position of a given portion of the body, all of which are valuable aids in psycho- logical investigation.” Special Tax Levied. BERKELEY, CAL, BSep:. 23.— The Board of County Supervisors has levied the special school tax as provided for by the election recently held in Berkeley, for the purpose of securing new school build- ings, as follows: High school district —Berkeley 34 cents; Union No. 1, 16 cents; Union No. 2, 10 cents; Union No. 3, 15 cents.

He has now adopted the Volunteer creed, and presided at to-night’s meeting of the younger Booth’s Salvation Army. — HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief \ hapters.

Reflections of a Bachelor. ‘When she’s nice and miserable a woman comes mighty near being happy. ‘Women oughtn’t to expect men to be reasonable when the thermometer is at 90 degrees. A little wire bustle on each arm is "most as bad as one biz one where they used to wear them. It makes a man tired to have a girl that he used to trot on his knee talk motherly to him after she’s had her first baby. No matter how crabbed and unloving a man is at home, if he goes away and writes a nice letter to his wife she won't think it's inconsistent. A women's fondest and longest cher- ished delusion is that some man would go to wrack and ruin if she 'weren’t around 0 take care of him.—New York Press. —— Keepiog the Record Good. “Why,”” asked the casual observer, “did you shoot that tenderfoot?” “Because,” replied the chairman of the Civic Federation, always giad to supply reasonable information, “‘he would other- wise have died of consumption, and we are trying to have our town recogniz-d as a health resort, you know.’—Detroit Tri- bune, Psychological Laboratory at the State University. HILL'S SALARY ALONE IS SAFE The Veteran Ex-Fire Chief Still Guards the City Hall. HE RAN WITH SCANNELL Both Hau'ed on the Old “White Ghost” Engine in New York. SIXTY YEARS A FIREMAN. Has Twice Saved the Old City Hall ‘Where He Has Been Watchman Seventeen Years. OAKTAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 2 908 Broadway, Sept. 23. } The Finance Committee spent several hours to-night wrestling with the pro- posed reduction of salaries of the deputies in the city offices, There was ouly one salary that they did discuss. It was that of old James Hill, the nightwatchwan of the City Hall: James Hill is probably the oldest ex- Chief of ' a fire department in the countyr. Sixty years ago Hill and Chief Scannell were both connected with the New York Volunteer Fire Depart- ment. KHill was a member of the hand-engine company, which hauled the engine known to this day as the “White Ghost,” In 1845 Hill came west to Cleveland, Ohio.,, and at once joined the volunteer fire department and served until 1852, when he was appointed fire warden. Two years later a paid de- partment was organized and Mr. Hill was made chief. When the war broke out Hill joined a “thirty-day’’ company and served in the Cleveland Grays under Captain Paddock. Someg time later he enlisted with the First Ohio Volunteers under General Cook and gerved with him for three years and took part in the fi ht at Bull Run.. In 1864 Hill returned to Cleveland and was at once. reappeinted Fire Chief. He buijt up the devariment rapidly and in 1875, owing to a political deal, he was re- ‘moved and at once came to this coast. He settled in Oakland and in ashort time he was appointed as a driver in the Qukland department. Two years Iater he was appointed chiei engineer and served five years and’ seven months. Daring the time Chief Hill was serving as chiel here there was a reunion of the old fire-tighters of Cleveland, and a:though he could not be with them he was not for- gotten and hs old friends sent him a sohd silver trumpet, appropriately cngraved. In 1879 he was appointed nightwatchman at the City Hall, ana he is there yet. “Ii I had been as zood to myseif as I have been to others all my life I should be a little richer to-day,” said the old man at his home, 818 Clay street. *‘I have helped people all my life and have occasionally set somebody up in business, bat [ have met with a fall share of ingratitude. However, L am getting old now and o it is no use talking. I saved that old City Hall from_fire on two occasions—once when O'Brien was clerk and another time when Lambert was Police Court Clerk.

He recog- nized the un box and raised an outery, the robbers taking to their heelsana mak- ing for the railroad yards near by. On gaining that point they were soon lost to view, and the chase had to be given up. Later one of the employes found the tin box with the mon~y intact under a seat in one of the cars.

Cory, Supposed to Be a Bachelor, Sued for a Separation. The Court Reiuses to Prevent Mr. Watson From Going to His Home to See His Children. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept. 23.—The many friends of J. E. Cory, agent for the Linder- man Opera-house, collector and manager of an employment bureau, were surprised to learn to-day that he was not a bachelor. Yesterday Mrs. Cory arrived in . the city from Chico, and to-day called upon her husband and furnished him the informa- tion that she would bring suit for divorce and alimony. ' Mrs. Cory is an attractive brunette, who married ber present husband nine years ago. At toe time she had a son by a for- mer husband, and says Mr, Cory had two wives belore she married him. In answer 10 & question, Mrs. Cory said: I do not know upon what suit will be based yet, but desertion 1is | probable. Wuen I calied upon my hus- band this merning he %said be had ob- tained a decree of divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. I have looked the court records over carefully and fail to find any such record, and I am sure [ never received any notice of such action. Ihave only recently become aware of his whereabouts.” Mr. Cory said: 1 do not care to dis- cuss the matier at all. I left Chico two years a.o, aiter losing conslderable prop- eriy, and located here. I coula not get along with Mrs, Cory, so I left her,” The Watson Children. ALAMEDA, Can., Sept. 23.—The case of the Watsons over the control of their two children was partially heard before Judge Ogden in-the Superior Court to- day. Mr. Watson introduced the much- talked-of photographs of Reed, a painter, and his 11-year-old daughter, as taken by Dr. Carpenter. They show Reed sitiing by a fence with the child sitting by his sige. All of the testimony went to show that the zirl had carried messages from her mother to Reed. Mrs. Watson's defense is that she was using Reed to gather facts for use in her divorce case, and used her daughter as a messenger. : The order forbidding Mr. Watson from visiting his home was vacated by the Judge, who stated that it was not the court’s jurisdiction to separate a husband ., but rather to keep them in har- rounds the To Yone for Five Years.

Joseph Holladay of Portland, Or., brother of Ben Holladay, founder of the Pony Express and overland stage, is at the Occidental., Mr. Holladay is one of the oldest and wealthiest residents of Portland. He has acquired a great deal of real estate there and has long been one of the distinguished citizens of Oregon. He says that Oregon, as well as the en- tire coast, as he views it, is in a peculiar condition just now. In Oregon, he says, so far as politics is concerned, things could not be in a worse chopped up con- dition. You.meet a Bryan man and he claims everything for Bryan; meet a Mc- Kinley man and McKinley is going to carry things by an overwhelming majority. “It is just according to the man you meet,”” said Mr. Holladay. ‘‘You can get a majority any way you want it. For my part, 1 am satisfied that times will be bet- ter no matter who is elected. This condi~ tion of things cannot continue as it is. Whoever is elected will have to get in and have some laws passed that will set to work the idle men that are now to be seen in all the towns of the country. “In Portland we have these men, as you have here, plenty of them, with nothing to do. This free silver idea, however, there is nothing in that, do you think so? That’s all been exploded long ago. But there is one thing sure, something is wrong when we see all these people who want work and can’t get any.

Farmers have got lots to sell, it’s so in Oregon, but they can't get anything for what they have got. There is no prices. “I have just come up from Los Angeles. That town is red-hot on politics. hey. are discussing polities everywhere and getting ont and making speeches on the streets, and in the parks you will see men with crowds around them delivering ad- dresses.
