Russ and entitled “Seven Years After.”” Introductory te the entire performance will be an address by the president of the class, Everett Brown. The farce is of about fifty minutes’ dura- an-and will be presented in a single act. Those forming the cast are: Joshua iynton, &' horse-racing preacher, Will C. Rpssell; Mrs. Eliza Paynton, his wife, Alice Marchebaut; Miss Margery ton, his favorite daughter, Miss Cen- »ia Barto; Miss Elizabeth Paynton, her daughter, Miss Agnes Knerr; on Dobbard, a consumptive nephew the East, Ben Bakewell; Pete iy, a horse-jockey, Will Bmith; Briegs, a policeman, T. Rainey. The play, which is a clever amateur pro- duction, involves many amusing com- plications, ana is full of sharp turns and realictic situations. Joshua Paynton, the preacher who haas developed a penchant fot the racecourse, becomes much in- volved. It is only after serious difficulty with his-family that he succeeds in squar- ing “himself for having entered his black colt in a handicap. Even this is not done until the news comes that the colt had won the race, together with a big purse. Upon the assurance that money will be plentiful as a result of the race, his tamily becomes reconciled. The curtain-raiser will be presented by Walter E. Starr and Miss Centennia Barto. Tife entire mugical programme will be presented by the junior string orchestra.

It hasoften been said that the students at Berkeley lack to a marked degree that ‘“college spirit’ which should link them together, such as is displayed at Stanford and at other big universities where dormitories exist. The agitators for a ‘‘students’ hour’’ declare that such lack of *‘spirit” in the Eopulur sense of the term can be corrected by such a scheme. University Riflemen. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 4. — Captain Waiter Starr of the university rifle team has called a meeting of the rifle-shooters for next Tuesday after drili. They purpose to practica for contests to be held with several of the Eastern uni- versities in which military drill is a com- pulsory exercise.

ALAMEDA, CaL., Dec. 4.—The absence of William Brummer from bis home, 2315 Alameda avenue, as related exclusively in this morning’s CALL, has now taken on the appearance of foul play. After he left home on Tuesday he coliected a sewer assessment of $120 for Thomas White, which has not yet been turned in. Neither Brummer has even hinted at dishonesty on his part. “I do not believe that Brummer has absconded,” said Mr. White this after- noon, “for I have every contidence in his integrity. He has collected money for me many times and every cent has been ac- counted for promptly. [ sliall certainly give him the benefit of every doubt.”” City Engineer Payzer, with whom Mr. Brummer has been intimately &ssociated for nine years, said: “If ae is in a hole there are plenty of his friends to help him out. He need not fear to comeé home on that account, but I fear he has. been foully dealt with, He was too fond of his family to stay away long.” The missing man was the secretary of Concordia Stamm, German Red Men, and always kept his books in first-class condition. The police do not believe that he has met with foul play, but will soon turn up.: The New Library Rooms. was begun upon the alterations in the morning. room feet, is the first work to be done, a which a' stair of twenty-four steps, with three landings, will be erected.

For a long time the growth of that territory has made it inconvenient for the worshipers to attend the Catholic churcn at Hay- wards, and so the surrounding congrega- tions have decided to make it possibie for the people of Sah Lorenzo to have a Catholic church of their own.

The Unique Innovation Agree- able to Producer, Consumer and Burglar. Street Lamps Will Be Loaded for the Night and Eurn Till Mconrise., OAxLAND Or¥ice Sax FrANcIsco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Dec. 4. San Leandro is to have the most unique gas plant on the Pacific Coast. It isa clever adaptation of the measurement of light by the principles that govern the nickel-in-the-slot machine. It is a safe- guard alike to .producer and consumer, and will of necessity be of great service to the prowling burglar. ‘Within a few weeks all consumers of gas in that little town will be supplied with very interesting meters, the delicate ma- chinery of which is just now being com- pleted in a Fourth-street brass foundry. The body of the machine is an ordinary gas meter, but on top isa combination of cogs, springs, wheels and little devices very ingeniously fitted together, and which are guaranteed to measur: perfectly the consumption of gas. The most pecu- liar feature about the new system is a listle slot 1nto which the cousumer places his | coin in proportion to the amount of gas | he wishes to use. 1f a householder only has a few cents to spare at a time, and wishes to illuminate | his house with gas, he can put a nickel in Council chambers for the library this | The partiuon, setting off a | “*All letters we have re- | vice-director, Ferdinand Lindeman; as-| the.slot and it will liberate so many feet | of illuminating power. By a very careful measured system, none of the gas is wasted, although it may not all be used atone time. While the gas is burning, the pressure of the vapor through the pipe j\\'orEs a spiral rod, and when the mark on the rod equal to 1ihe value of the coin reaches a certain vplace, the supply is! | turned off, and unless the slot is patron ized again the house or hall will be in. darkness. | Another adjustment prevents any sud- | den going out of the light. Itisso ar- | ranged that twenty minutes before the | value of the coin is burned up, the light | commences to fiicker, perform all kind of | contortions and graduatly grows dim, thus | givine the consumer the option of putting another pickel in the slot or of lighting a candle. These meters will be supplied to houses and public halls and also, it is said, to the munieipality. In this latter case it will become the dui{ of the Town Treasurer every evening before leaving his office to place enough money in the slot to guaran- tee the town from darkness during the night. He will also have to work out some very careful problems in proportion, as the amount of cents placed in the slot must correspond accarately to the length of hours before the moon will rise, or there will be a serious waste of gas. “This system will work no injury to anvbody,” said the making his final mechanical adjustment. If anybody does not like the amount of gas they get for two bits they need not put any more money into it. In public halls and stores where thereis a possi- bility of many people using iae proprie- tor's gas and swelling his bill unknown to bim this new system will prove a grea; advantage, for unless such trespassers patronize the slot part of the machine they will get no light. A complication is likely to arise in re- gard to the town lighting, and itis not yet | to each lamppost and the Town Marshal be sent around each evening &t sundown to put the necessary nickels in each ma- chine. If such plan be followed there is no doubt that the meters will become very attractive to the small boyseand a constant discrepancy would be found between the amount of gas used and the nickels founa in the receiver. There can be no doubt thatafter a machine had been in use some months it would possess a marked magne- sism for a buxéglar, and anew branch of crime will undoubtedly come into vogue in San lLeandro within the next few months. It will probably be safer to crack half adozen nickel-in-the-slot gas-measur- ing machines than to tackle one safe, and the returns will probably be greater. San Leandro’s Town Marshal is considering the advisability of issuing a notice that he will not be responsible for gas-meters in the futnre. GRIM RESIGNS. | Result of the Consolidation of F. Smith’s Many Interests. OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 4.—Superintend- ent A. K. Grim of F. M. Smith’s Berkeley electric road has posted a bulletin at the power-house which reads: ‘‘After the first of the year my connection with this road as manager will cease.”” The resig- nation of Mr. Grim was read with great regret by the numerous employes of the road, as be had been regarded as a friend by them during the four years that they have been under his control. The change is the result of the transfer of the line to the Realty Syndicate, which embraces all the many properties of F. M. Smith and associates. The head office of the syndicate islocated in San Francisco, and from there the system will be operated at a greater reduction of expense? than that incurred by running each of its properties inde- pendently.

Herdel Was an Anarchist, OAKLAND, CaL, Dec. 4.—It was dis- covered to-day that Frederick Herdel, the man who committed saicide on the steps of the Hall of Records yesterday, was a German anarchist.

He said that as he had lost all his property in Alameda Connty he intended to leave his body Lere. Stanley treated .the matter as a joke, but a few minutes later Herdel was deaa. He has figured in many very un- pleasant incidents in this county, and it was only by accident that he escaped trial for the alleged murder of his wife in a reservoir at Mission San Jose.

OAKLAND, CaL, Dec. 4.—To the League of the Cross Cadets of the Church of the Immaculate Conception belongs the honor of overcrowding the handsome new Reed Music Hall. The concert ten- dered them for the purpose of properly equipping the league could not have been more successful, and the committee on arrangements, consisting of A. ¥. Griffin, chairman; F. F. Caire, treasurer; J.J. Rigney, secretary; D. J. Hallaban, J. D. Conroy, W. B. White and J. E." McElroy, deserves the utmost credit for its work.

Taylor had conspired, as con- tractor, to supply the City with basalt blocks, with Henry Barron, keeper of the corporation-yard, for the purpose of have ing Barron issue fraudulent receipts for blocks that were never delivered. The fact was that Joseph W. Taylor was not connected with the alleged deal in any way, some other Taylor being meant, but the paper published Joseph W. Taylor as being the man. In his brief Mr. Hearst set forth that he employed a large num- ber of reporters and seven or eight editors, and that no one man could investigate the truth of every story before it was pub- lished. Mr. Hearst also set forth that “the verdict is so excessive as to appearat first blush to be the result of passion or prejudice.’” NEW 7YO-DAY.

Martin managed to find a pocket with ber, and she finished peyond ! the money. The Texas colt Roltaire, with | 6tolabout him in the ring, led all the way, winning easily from Torpedo. Starting at 9 to 20 in the betting ring, Salvable waited on Walter J to the stretch and then cakewalked in, leading the latter horse out by two lengths. Gratify wasa fair third. The six-furlong sprint, with but five starters, iurnished an opportunity for | Beilicoso to annex another purse. The ring held him at 3 to 10, and he romped in ahead of McLight. Lobengula was a good third. There was some element of real specu- lation enthused in the betting on the fiith race, a six-furlong purse event. Mr. Mac- donough’s handsome filly, imp. Santa Bells, opened in the books at9 to 5, but there was such a stiff play on Good Times that 11 to 5 was obtainable around post time. The latter colt might have brought the coin home but for Gardner’s foolish policy of racing out in front to the stretch with the rapid-going Fly. In the run to the wire Good Times tired purcepublx, al- Jowing Santa Bella to come on and win by a length in 1:15 fiat. The wise onea fizured that five furlongs ust suited Scotch Rose and she was neavily played to win the final five-furlong jaunt at-odds of 8 to 5. She led to the stretch, where Dunboy passed her and skipred in an easy winner by a length in 1:01%. : AR Nota This afternoon the first of the biz stakes will be run at Ingleside. The one down for decision is the G. H. Mumm & Co., for three-year-olds, valued at $1300. Casper, True Blue, Howard 8, Candelaria and all the crack two-year-olds will face the barrier. Messrs, Short and Davis, owners of the mare Sally Sensible, together with Jockey Bkeets Martin, were suspended by the judges yeslardl¥ for the peculiar showing ngs by the filly, who was favorite for the opening event. Sally has bgen going great guns in her work and in the opinion of the officials in the stand she was “filled up'’ in order to exonerate Tommy Butler, who is now on the Ftound for a ride | astride the daughter of Salvator that did not suit the stand.

Two little Chinese girls named Wong See Ny and Wong Luke Hi were recently taken from their parents by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty, the parents being unable to properly care for their oftspring. It was the intention of the officers to place the girls in some good institution, bat Dr. Wong Woo and his wife, Chin Shee, offered to adopt the little waifs as their own, and with the consent of tieir parents this was permitted and enforced by an order of the Probate Court. The children were old enough to appre- ciate the change in their circumstances that would ensue, and though they mani- fested affection for their parents made no objection to going with their new pro- tectors. ——————— MR, HEARST WILL NOT PAY, An Old Libel Suit in the Supreme Court a Second Time, To avoid paying the sum of $500 awarded against him in a libel suit.
