Four Years Ago He Terrified Old Realty Dealers in Berkeley. Started in Life as 2 Shooting-Gallefy Proprietor, and Lost a Fortune in Opera. OARLAND Orrice SAy Fraxcisco CALL) 908 Broadway, Jan. 29. § The thousands of people on this side the bay who knew George W. estate man of Berkeley, five years- ago were surprised to-day to learn that he is now a regularly ordained minister and was married yesterday in Ukiah to the daugh- ter of W. D. White, a capitalist and Trus- tee of that city. Rev. George W. Phelps has had a more eventful history than usually falls to the lot of ayoung even in California. ked by wonderful aggressiveness and k, he has entered into many specula- but one after the other they have $ailen to the ground. Many years ago Phelps was proprietor of a shooting-gal- lery at Sacramento, and while there he was taken up by the Saivation Army, and for a time was an earnest exhorter in their ank Not long afterward he met and charming young lady of Colusa Cristie Willis, who was at that ne one of the s well remembered at Salem, Or., as ficer who could do more with the gislature than any other evan- t ever went to that éity.

This fashionable | dancing organization has existed for four seasons and has been prolific of many in- teresting stories. At one time it was in danger of disruption because some young | men did not wear patent-leather shoes | and the biack ng from their clumsy bro- | soiled the dresses of the young ladies ing the poetic measure of the valse. Mmes. J. E. McElrath, Prentice Selby, John Wright, Knight, Liliencranz, Crellin and Moore, who are the patronesses of the | Deux Temps, held a meeting last Monday | and decided to disband the organization after the next dance, which will be held two weeks from next Tuesday The club has had a moderately success- ful career, but the mempvers who have graduated from it into the Wednesday Night Cotillon, have not been succeeded by othets, and to a great extent the club has grown 1tself out of existence. The Deux Temps was for young ladies | of society who were not old enough | to attend the Wednesday Night Cotillon | and were too for aavanced in the social | sphere to attend the Fortnightly, so Mrs. | Requa and afew other ladies established | the Deux Temps Ciub. It was successful s0 long as the original membershiplasted, but as the young ladies could not remain stationary in regard to age as the years | passed by, the ciosing of the club was a foregone conclusion SOUETYS NEXT WEODING. | | d | The Knowles-Coleman Nuptials Will Be a Brilliant Event of tpring. | Both Are Social Leaders and Very Popular in the Jackson- Street Set.

The engagement has been announced, and | the wedding is to take place in the spring. | It will undoubtedly be a very brilliant af- fair, as both families are long residents of | this city, have hosts of friends and have | unbounded wealth. | For several months the wedding has | been expected, and society expects its de- { sire to attend a gorgeous ceremony to be | gratified in March.

For some time past he has been officiat- ing as pastor at Ukiah, and is now a reg- ularly ordained minister, and declares that be has settled down for life. His marriage to Miss White, who is a daughter of the wealthy lumberman of t city, is & great surprise, as it was not known that he had been ordained or that he was intending to_marry again, TEACHERS RESENT IT. The Special' Profesgor’s Subscription Ts Regarded by Many as an Imposition. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 20.—The teach- ers in the public schools do not admit the absolute correctness of the Superintend- ent’s statement published yesterday re- gard'ng the payment of $10 per head to | an Eastern professor to teach a special | branch to the teachers. In an interview oneof the teachers who refused te take the course said it was considered a slur on the capabilities of the teachers to have to $100 a month for a small amount bf edentific instruction, when they them- seffves receive only $70 to $80 per month iof ziving their whole time. We are certainly old enough and sensible enough,” said the teacher, “‘not 10 be put before the public as if we were still in leading strings.

Mr. Coleman left a large estate, includ- ing several ranches und valuable stock in corporations. He was president of the | Oakland Gas Light and Heat Company | and vice-president of the Oakland Street | Reilway Company and the San Francisco and San Joaguin Coal Company. The Coleman family residence, at Eighth and Brush streets, is one of the finest in the City and has been the scene of some very memorable entertainments, Harry J. Knowles is the son of the late Captain J. N. Knowles. who died last | June. The family reside at Fifteenth and Jackson str ets, and Mr. Knowles is cashier of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company. For a long tlme he was captain of the | Columbia Rowing Club, which is com- | posed mostly of Oakland’s wealthy young men. He is the eldest son of a large fam- ily.

OAKLAND, Car., Jan. 29.—Josephine Powell made another attempt to-day to open the estate of Martha A. Twombley, the old colored woman who died in 1879, leaving a will in which she bequeathed her proverty to Charles A. Twombley, her husband. Mrs. Powell in her new peti- tion. sets up that the marriage was void, being contrary to the Iaw which prohibits miscegenation. Fhe further aileges that she is the niece of the old colored woman, nd at the time of the probate of the will e did not get the notice which an heir is entitled to.

The convention was in session forty-five minutes, fifteen of which were consumed in recess.! The formality of calling the roll was dispensed with, and the chairman an- nounced that the committee of seven which was commissioned to go last night to “do the best it could with the Demo- cratic convention’’ had a report to offer. The secretary read it: Report of the committee of seven appointed to confer with the Democratic convention: No conference was wanted from appearances. THE COMMITTEE. The chairman announced that no nom- inations would be made, but that the con- vention would indorse candidates from other tickets. In aneat little speech, in which he referred to his nominee’s anti- railroad and water front record, F. C. Joslin nominated John L. Davie. There were several seconds, and the nomination was unanimous. Colonel “Billy” Moore nominated R. M. Clement for City Engineer. The in- cumbent superintended the building of the Grove-street road to Berkeley. F. C. Joslin named T. F.

FIGHT CVER A PASTOR, Two Petitions Being Circulated in Centenary Presbyterian Charch. Rev. Dr. Ellis Is Acceptable to Many and Is Opposed by O hers Who \ Are Powerful. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO Cnu,} 908 Broadway, Jan. 29. The trouble at the Centenary Presby- terian Church will reach a crisis next Monday evening, when a mesting will be held of all those interested. During the past few days two petitions have been circulated, one favorable to the pastor and one opposing him. The leading spirit of the opposition is Mr. Prosser, one of the elders, and it was stated to-night that his petition for a change of pastors contained the names of F. 8. Hastings, A. R. Dorn and F. H. Cruff, all of whom are elders of the church. In addition to ‘thisa large por- tion of the Christian Endeavor Society would like another pastor. On the other hand, a large number of the congregation are satisfied with Rev. Dr, Ellis and would like him to pe in- sialled as permanent pastor. Miss Brady is earnestly working in his behalf and she is supported by Mr. Charles, Mrs, Childs and Depnty Auditor Hinsdale. There will be a session of the presbytery held next Monday and the rival petitions will be presented. “Nobody seems to know just what is the matter at our church,’” said an old member to-night. *‘Dr. Ellis seems to be acceptable to the majority, but there isa dissatistied element, and they are some of the most powerful members of the church. There may be some little objections to Mr. Ellis, but they could "easily be straightened out if everything were above board. As it is, the standing of the chureh is being gradually ‘whispered to death.” At the last meeting of the presbytery Dr. Etlis was to have been installed for- mally, but a special committee reported in favor of a postponement, and there was a long discussion, but _eventually the installation was deferred. It will be settled next weel ———————— NOTHING BUT POLITIOS. Much Curiosity as to the Course of the Municipl League, OAKLAND, Can, Jan. 29.—Every branch of the city government is now sub- ordinatea to politics. The usual board meetings are being held and the officials are performing their daily routine duties in a perfunctory manner, iut the prev: ing idea at the Uity Hallis the election in the first week in March which shall deter- mine their fates for another two years. The statement was made to-day that there may not be any political indorse- ments made by the A. P. A., but the ad- visory board has not yet issued an ulti- matum on the subject. There is some opposition to the organization to taking part actively in the campaign, The greater portion of the Republican ticket is said to be entirely satisfactory to the A, P. A., and although a meeting may be called to discuss the matter there will probably be no convention such as was held prior to other elections during the past four years, Captain W. R. Thomas, the Republican nominee for Mayor, is seriously ill at his home, and with several members of his family is soffering from grippe. The Army and Navy Republican League is doing all in its power to carry on his cam- paige, but he is certainly not gaining any- thing' by his enforced absence from the field, as his opponents are working very actively. The Municipal League will hold a convention next Monday night, which will be one of policy rather than politics. In former years the Municipal League has been considered as the allied strength of the A. P. A, and the political element led by Dr. George Pardee. This year Dr. Par- dee took a prominent partin the regular Republican convention, and with his friends will undoubtedly supportit. The A. P. A. is not perticularly anxious to take an active part, and consequently the niche left for the Municipal League to fill is not a large one and cannot cut an im- portant figure in the campaign.

Geyser Started an Odds- On Favorite and Won as He Pleased. Marionette Finished in Front and So Did Whitestone—Collias Out- footed His Company. Bix of the fastest three-year-olds in training on the coast started in a six and a half fnrlong sprint at Ingleside yester- day and through some clever jockeying Caspar, the even-money favorite, was beaten out a length at theend. Zamar 11, the second choice, apparently in as a helper only, made Cusper hustle for about three furlongs, when, having performed his task, he began falling back and Grey- hurst took hold of the favorite. The St. Andrew colt hung on gamely, but was finally compelled to acknowledge defeat | by a length in the fast time of 2334, Good Times took the show from Zamar LL. | Mud again proved quite a serious factor in working the downfall of the favorites, | but two managing to get to the wire first. The rain held aloof and the usual crowd was in attendance. Twelve platers, devoid of any great amount of class, lined up at the webbing in the opening five-furiong scramble. Imp. Friar wasa slight favorite over Marionette, but in a drive was beaten out nearly & length by tbat mare, with Rejected finish- ing in the show. The five-furlong spin following was a second edition of the opening event, with field of fiiteen facing the barrier. Baron, owned by Billy Magrane, was quickly down from fours to 13 to 5 and finished next to last. In a mild drive | Whitestone passed the wirea length abead of Pecksniff. Thewinner went to the post at odds of 5 to 1. Starting an even-money chance, Collins experienced little difficulty in defeating his field in & mile and a furlong, winning as he pleasea from Charles A, which went to the post at oddsof 12to 1. Fortuna, the second choice, ran into the show. The 7 to 5 favorite, Loulou R, was left at the post in_the fourth event, a seven- furlong run. She acted very badly, and when the barrier flew up refused to break. | Basquil led until well into_the stretch, when he was challenged by Personne and in a hard drive beaten a nose. Show honors went to Draught. The promising youngster Geyser started a 2 to 5 choice over the other starters in the seven-furlong affair that came next. The Sinner opened up a big gap at the oulset, but began tiring before the stretch was reached, and was passed by both the favorite and George Palmer, the former winning with the utmost ease. e TARPEY STAKE TO-DAY. A Grand Fleld Will Face the Starter at Ingleside. The Tarpey selling stake over a mile and a furlong is the feature of the card this afternoon. Ot the original seventy- three entries ten are announced as likely to start, and they are a select lot. Argen- tina, which lowered the colors of Bright Pheebus on Thursday, Pat Dunne's good horse Captive, Bt. Lee, Schiller and others, all with light weights up, furnish a rare guessing proposition, and there is not likely to be a top-heavy favorite in the betting. The winner wiil pluck from the wire a silken bag containing $1000. After finishing second in the opening five-furlong dash little Brown was unable to pull imp. Friar up, and he made an- other circle of the track. hard to run away with Charley Thorpe and finally did succeed in getting around to the stand, with Charley pulling snd bauling Jike the anchorman on a tug-of- war teare. Thorpe says no more Marion= ette for him, and the judges have recom- mended that in future her entry be refused. Joe Ullman backea Pecksmff both place and show. Marty told a friend that if the uniucky plater did not win he would turn him out at pasturage. ‘The owner of Popinjay was fined $25 for not having his horse saddied and delay- ing the other horses in the paddock for fully five minutes after the post call sounded. Starter Dick Havey's work has been exception good during the present meeting. His quick starts on Wednes- day, when seven fields were sent away and’people got home in ample time for dinner, call forth praise on ali sides. The recall flag may have its virtues, but it also has its sctbecks, as evidenced by the long delays at Oakland track. Biily Magrane’s old horse Baron was a warm one from the end stall to win the second race, but, getting away from the post poorty, Willie Martin contented him- self with watching the others run. He was reporied tv huve outworked Frank K at Oakland and may do over a longer dis- tance in future. Judging from his performance yester- day, it is quite evident that Personne is not a horse that requires weight to steady bim. It was a great improvement over his preceding public appearance. Johnny McHale, the genial little Bouth- ern horseman, is exveriencing a run of hard luck in California. Some time ago his horse, Jobnny McHale, was kicked on the leg at the post in a race and was ihen nosed out for the purse. Since that time ha has been on (he snelf.

Several years ago one of the popular humorists, scientifically inclined, con- cluded to make some expériments with iced tea, the popular summer drink. The' result of his investigations is given in his own words. 3 I secured a sample of the tea at one of the restaurants in town to get a fair aver- age of the article used. I took a teaspoon. ful of the liguid to the household pump; it was stirred into a large tub filled with water and in a moment the color of tha tea had disappeared. Any one will admit that this solution would seem harmless even to the healthy lower animals. We had some young puppies in the barnyard and I procured two of the smallest of them; they were allowed to lap at the liquid, and then their heads were held under the water for fifteen minutes. It re- sulted in the death of both the puppies, and the dangerous properties of the de- coction were made apparent.” It is all very well to have a bit of fun from the experiments in food and drink, but there are many nowadays who are really hurt, and hurt seriously from the use of coffee. A new breakfast beverage has been pro- duced which looks like coffee in the deep seal brown color and which changes to the rich golden brown of thick Mocha when cream is added. It has been introduced extensively this season, and' is made from cereals, the common grain of the field. It is nourishing and healthful, without hav- ing the hurtiul properties of coffee. The weakest stomach can handle the grain coffee, and the taste and color is so agree- able and coffee-ike that it fills the piaee nicely. This food-drink, Postum, can be given to small children regularly for coffee at breakfast, and is _nourishing and fat- . tens their bodies. It is a liquid food, made from the grains the Creator intended for man's subsistence.
