The Dector’s Colleagues at This En Were Not Aware of His New Move. OARLAND OFricE SAN Frascisco CALL,{ Feb. 13. § The Board of Trade and Merchar change directors were considerably sur- prised to-day to learn thatall appropria- tions for the improvement of Oakland harbor had been cut out of the Senate bi.l on account of a large error.- The formation received on tiis point was to the effect that Colonel ordered to proceed with the work, and it was expected that &s soon asspe were drawn up contracts wouid be let. Instead, however, it now appears that additionsl information has been placed before the House committeeywh as upset all calculations. A few months ago an agreement ws reached between Oakland and Alameda auihorities as o the recommendations that should be made to the War Department. According to this agreement the Oakland end of the harbor was to be deepened first, after which the tidal canal was 1o be cut! throug McLean, Alameda’s Health Officer, | to Washington supposedly for the »ose of furthering the work, but when 1he fact became known that the appropria- tions had been cu; out of the bill inquiry was at once made for the c: It found in a statement prepared by Dr. Me- Lean after he had gut to Washington, and of which nobody at this end knew any- thing.

E. written of the history of the Order of the Black Cross. Judge Ogden recently decided that the whita castle of Peiehof is the proverty of the Count’s widow, Elizaveth Poulson. For over three years ihe battle over the Poulson property has been waged. The Countess ciaimed ownership by virtue of a deed of g1t that her husband afterward destroyed. She was opposed by the Pub- lic Administrator and some relatives of the Count, but their claims were all passed over by Judge Ogden and his decree in favor of the widow has just been recordei; For several months no new prophectes of ev.l have been given to the world by Primate Smith, be of the long white beard, who lives in an ark on Sessions Basin and cruises around the estuary when he desires a change of residence. The old man who lived in the tank- house ana refused to be put out because he said the Count appeared to him in a vision and told him to stay there has also gone. Miss Lizzie Carter, who cir- culated all manner of stories about the widow, and for whose arrest a warrant was issued a long while azo, was never heard of after she arrived at Denver, where she was taken sick, nor did she come on to California to try to establish ber charges. All the prominent characters in the weird drama that was enacted a few years g0 have dropped out of sight, evidently having lost faith in their Messiah. Up to about a year ago many of his fol- lowers firmly believed that Count Poui- son would return to earth ana woud again inhabit his castle and preside over tbe Order of the Black Cro-s. This was the doctrine preached by Primate Smith, tut as each successive date on_which the Count was to appear passed by and he came not _their faith gradually awindled away, and now no members of the order can be found. Some months ago Mrs. Poulson, who had been subjected to all kinds of incon- veniences and annoyances by the many cranks who looked upon her as their per- sonal ecemy and who wished to hold Peterhof sacred to the memory of their founder, married & well-known singer of San Francisco, and is now living in that City. She never sympathized with the Count's extraordinary ideas of modern spiritual- ism, and was applying for a divorce when the Count died. ~All manner of sensa- tional stories about poisoning and simiter charges were circulated by the little band of fanatics who worshiped under tne Count, but they were all proved to be ab- solntely devoid of foundstion, and now they and their authors are buried in ob- livion, and the history of Peterhof is closed.

OAKLAND OFFIcE SAN Francisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Feb. 13. } The most sensational act of an old-time drama was repeated on Washington street last night. A fatber while attendinga piace of amusement discovered his way- | wara daughter under conditions that were | most revoiting to him, called the police and the gir1 wastaken to the City Prison, and is still there. Rose Mennehan, whose parents live at Second and Grove streets, made a com- plaint to the authori.ies several months ago that her parents were ill using her, and there was a bitter t over the ques- tion of guardianship. Finally Rose suc- ceeded in convincing the court that her father was not good to her, and at her re- quest Mrs. Prescott, secretary of the Chil- dren’s Society, was«granted letters of guardianship. Soon afterward Mrs. Prescott obtained a place for her wara with a family in East Ozkland, and from time to time received reports that convinced her that Rose was a good girl and that her story regarding founded. Not many daysago Rose left her posi- tion without informing her gaardian and obtained a situation as an actress in & dime illusion show that apened up ina vacant store on Washington street. She was advertised as a great barre! mystery, and her act consisted in getting into a barrel, which was then rolled all around and showa to the public empty and a few seconds later Rose would be materialized from the same barrel. Last night bher iather and one of his ckildren were uptown, and Menneban de- cided to take in theshow. He wasgreatly interested in the programme, and nothing disturbed him till bis liitle child said to him, *There’s Rose.”” The old man shouted as soon as he convinced himself that the figure in a dress not to be de- scribed was his own daughter Rose. He | rushed into thestreet and enlisted the ser- | vices of Officer Hynes and had his girl ar- rested. | He was so excited that he wanted the THE COUNTESS FAGERSTJERN, Who Is Now Sole Owner | ofiicer to march the girl to the City Prison of Castle Peterhof. without de ay, but Hynes insisted that, as the girl was not costumed for a walk up- town, the father must wait patiently till sbe prepared herseif. ‘When booked at the City Prison Rose defied her father to exercise any authority over her, and cailed attention to the fact t at Mrs. Prescott was her legal guardian. Chie! Lloyd doubted tnhe girl’s story, and sent for the secre:ary, who was consider- ably surprised to find her ward under uch conditions. She ordered her to be de- tained until such time as she could iake the necessary steps to send her to some institation from which she could not escape to join an illusion show. HEALTH MATI1ERS.

Circulars Sent Out Deseribing the Bene- fite of Great-r Oakland. OAKLAND, Car., Feb. 13.—The scheme to annex the territory vetween Oakland and Berkeley is meeting with some oppo- sition. The Adeline Improvement Club has issued a protest, signed by forty-tive voters, which they hav e submitted to the City Council.

The Annexation League is pursuing its work with great aciivity. They have ju-t prepared a circular, which has been mai‘ed to every voter in the outer dlistrict, setting fortn the reasons why annexation snould take place.

Those Supervisors who belong to the Hospital Committee of the Board of Sup- ervisors have decided to recommend to the board to-morrow afternoon the adop- tion of what is known as the anti-expec- toration ordinance. This prowides a penalty for expectorating upon the side- walks or on the floors of public buildings. The ordinance as referred to the commit- tee contained a provision against expec- torating in the streefcars. This provision was stricken out by the committee. The maximum penalty for exvéctorating on sidewalks and in" public build ngs will be §25, if the ordinance is finally adopted. A similar ordinance is in force at Sacra- mento. NEW TO-DAY FREE T0 EVERY MAN THE HETHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT FoR WEAKN:NS OF M WHICH (URED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe puin. Thers isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and _under such a strain men are scarcely responsibic for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness untl it was a question whether he had not Detter take a dose of on and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid {u the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general healih, but enlarged his weak, emaciated paris to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who_will ‘take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment iree.
