Cav., Noy. 6.—When Coun- | cilman J. R. Capeli died the Council pre- | sented the famiiy with an engrossed copy | of resolutions of respect adopied and have | received the following letter of thanks for | their action: To the Hon. President and Members of the City Council—DEAR SIRs: The pallof grief is siiil upon our household. Iu our loneliness we have not forgotten our duty to your bonor- | able and sympathetic body, but have Celayed | our acknowledgment because each attempt | has only edded 1intensiiy to our sorrow. It is with full and aching hearts that we here- with extend 10 you our deepest gratitude for the high respect and esteem in which you have enthroned the memory of a beloved hus- bend and father. Next to his own presence in our home we | ho.d sacred the beautiful and touching memo- rial and resolutions presented by you, his as- sociates in public office and private life. We realize trat the voice of the council is the voice of the city of Oakiand, therefore in thanking you we thank the citizens of Oak- | land for the many noble tributes to our aacred and beloved dead. The fioral offering was so beautiful in de- sign and workmanship—“The vacant chair''— typical of his seat in your council chambers and at our fireside, is full of sweetest memo- ries to his family. While our loss isgreater than language can adequately portray, yet one consoiation is proportionate only io the | high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. Respectfully and gratefully, BS. E. 5. CAPELL AND FAMILY. Personal Property Tax. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 6. — Auditor Saow has found that by the changesin the Political Code made by the last Legisla- ture he is virtually responsible for the en- tire personal property tax roll. Section 3831, which by the charter is made to apply to the Uity Auditor, reads: Within fifteen days atter the first Monday in August of each year the Auditor of the county, or city and county, must make & carerul ex- | amication of the assessment book or books of | the couunty, or city and county, and ascertain | therefrom the amount or amounts of all taxes that should have been collected by the Asses- sor in pursuance of this chapter and which have rot been collected. He must then state an account to ti.c Assessor and demand from | him that the amount or amounts so remaining uncollected shall be paid into the county treasury within fifteen days from the date of said demand. If, at the expiration of said time, the Assessor has not settled for and paid said amount or amounts inio the treasury as eforcsaid the District Atiorney must com- | mence &n action in the proper court against the Assessor and his bondsmen for the recov- ery of said amount or amounts 8o remaining | uncoilected ; and upon the trial of such action -no defense shall be aomissible except that the | assessment or assesments are illegal, invalid or void. Taxpayers Money Saved. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 6.—County Olerk Frank C. Jordan has saved Ala- reda County no less than $15,000 in get- ting out the new great register, and by a little foresight bhas added another $4000 to the credit side of the ledger in the matter of election supplies. Under previous officers the great registers and all election ’""’l’"“ bave been mutilated, destroyed, mislaid or stolen. Asare-ult anew sup- K}y had to be purchased at each election. r. Jordan made all election officers give a receipt for the supplies, and held them cfrsonnlly responsible for their return. ery nearly everything was returned and is being boxed up and put away for future use. ———— HISTORY OF A DAY.

Although Containing No Name or Direction the Sender Was Cleverly Found. MUCH RED-TAPE NECESSARY. But It Only Serv:s to Show the Per- fection of Detail of International Postal Systems. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Nov. b, A letter covered with postmarks and searchmarks reached Oakland yesterday and was returned to the sender, after hav- ing traveled a distance equal to a circuit of the globe. Itserved as an interesting object lesson in demonstrating the per- fection of detail which exists in the inter- national postal system. Inadvertently the name of the town in England where the party resides to whom the letter was ad- dressed was omitted. After sixty days, although there was nothing in the con- tents of the letter either by signature or by address to show who wrote it, it was returned to the sender. On September 24 a letter directed to Mrs. A. E. Smith, Clarence Villa, Hertford- shire, England, was mailed in the Oakland office. In due time it arrived at Hertiord, which is the county town of the shire where the party resides. Three days were spent in searching, but with no success, and the letter was marked *‘Not known, F. H.” and returned to the dead-letter office in London. There it was opened, but no names could be found in it to indi- cate the sender. It was branded “Insuffi- ciently addressed’’ and returned to New York. Another search there was made, but nothing more definite than “Toots, Oakland,” was found by way of signature. As it was not likely that “Toots” or Birdie” could be found in a directory, or would be known to letter-carriers, the let- ter was simply returned to the Oakland office. Then another search was made. The letter contained a money order, which, of course, gave no information as to the sender or the party to whom it was sent. It was, however, supposed by Postmaster ‘White that the sender of the money order would most likely be the party who wrote the letter. The rules of the postofiice, however, are very strict regaraing the identity of the sender of a moneyv order, as this1s its only safegnard. A special re- port had to pe mads out, stating why, in this particular instance, the rule was broken, and this report had to be for- warded to Washington. ‘The order was found to have been issued to a gentleman who had no difficulty in proving that he was “Toots” and that “Birdie” was his sister, and on this show- ing the letter was delivered to him. After The Much-Marked Envelope That Demonstrates the Perfection of the International Postal System, signing a long affidavit setting forth that he was the party referred to as * and swearing that he was the legitimate owner of the letter, it was returned to | him, after having traveled for fifty-nine days and being within twelve miles of :{hnt was intended should be its destina- ion. RUNNING STUFFED HARES The Humane Society Has Been Invited to Be in At- tendance. A Display of Live Hares Coursed by Fox Terriers Will Also Be Made. The directors of the Soclety for the Pre- vention of Cruelty t o Animals are to be the guests of the San Francisco Fox- terrier Coursing Club to-morrow afterncon at the Presidio Athletic grounds. The club people, who are now 412 strong, and include the better element of the sport-loving public—bankers, whole- sale merchants and laWyers—have de- cided that they want once for all to have an understanding with the authorities as to the legitimacy of the fox-terrier run- ning which they inaugurated a few months ago. They claim that the terriers are less likely to catch live hares, and even when catching them they kill with more dis- patch and less pain than do the hounds. It 1s this test they wish to submit to- morrow to the decision of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The owners of fox terriers in this Ci are asked to bring them along. There to be no admission fee, and it is desirable, for ut:: benefit of the new sport, that the crif the work of dogs untrained and that h: never chased a hare.

But Oakland Republicans Laugh at Their Near Neigh- bor’s Claim. There is trouble brewing over the ban- ner that is coming from Los Angeles, and which the Oakland Republicans expect to carry in the great ratification parade to- night. Marin claims the honor of being the banner county of the State, ana the “‘stalwarts” in and about Sausalito assert that they are going to have the trophy, no matter what comes or goes. According to the votes cast, Marin has a better per- centage than Alameda, and should be en- titled to the flag. “If the returns are correct, and 1 guess they are, Marin is entitled to that banner, and we proposs getting it,” said C. C. Bruce of Bruce, Bowen & Co., yesterday. “In round fizures Alameda polled 684 | per cent of all the votes cast for the Re- publican ticket, while Marin polled 6614 per cent. Now, uuless there is some string to that emblem of victory it should come to our side of the bay, and that at once. Oukland shail not shine in bor- rowed plumes if I can heip it, and when the flag arrives to-day at 4 P. M. We propose to be there to receive it. “Of cours Marin has not anything like as many voters as Alameda, but then we have a great many more Democratic voters in our county than the Oakland boys have in theirs. We bhad thusto work all'the harder for our victory, and Marin deserves the flag and the title of ‘the ban- ner county.” Iam on my way now to the rooms of the State Central Committee, and L am sure the members will look into the matter. I may be under a misappre- hension and have mistaken the conditions under which Mr. Denison gave the flag. Nevertheless Alameda must not claim the title of ‘the banner county.’ *’ The whole matter promises to develop into quite a lively controversy, and Caps tain Bruce is quite sure he has the better end of it. He was to havegone for a short cruise on his yacht, the Rover, to-day, but has changed his mind and will go to Oak- land to meet the banner instead. It was Brace who made the ight of State Sen- ator-elect Dickinson, and the majority given that gentleman shows how well he did his work. OAKLAND, Carn, Nov. 6.—A report reached this city to-night that Marin County would claim the Republican ban- ner when it arrived in Oakfand to-morrow. Marin’s claim, it is said, 1s based on the percentage of the total vote in the county. By this calculation Marin declares that she polled a larger Republican vote in proportion to the number of votes cast than Alameda County recorded. *“Marin County evidently does not un- derstand the terms by which that banner can be won,” said Senator Denison to- night. “The right to that banner is with the county that gives the largest numeri- cal Republican majority. I have not heard that Marin County’s majority ex- ceeded 5000 or that she polled even half of that vote all told. *‘If Marin County thinks she has a right to that banner she has a periect right to set forth the claim. At any rate, even by the percentage calculation “it would only be courteous for them to wait until the official canvass is announced.’’ The following dispatch was received at |heI00umy Central Committee rooms to- night: & RAVENNA, Cal,, November 6.

DECOTO, CaL, Nov. 6.—There were only two of the seventy-three -registered voters-otf the *“baby precinct,” as Decoto is called, who failed to pluce their opin- ions on record Tuesday on the National issues. While it is a strong Republican precinct the vote for the Democratic can- didate for SBupervisor ran away ahead of his opponent, owing to some rumors that were started during the day. —_—— Mrs. Moeller's Plaint, Louisa Moeller, wife of Henry Moeller, a Santa Cruz County farmer, has sued her hus- band for $100 & month for separate mainten- ance.
