NO FIELD DAY, Scarcity of Alh:x-u‘l;-the Clasy of ’99 Will Prevent the Annual Freshman- Sophomore + vent at Berkeley. BERKELEY, Carn, March 2—There will be no freshman-sophomore field day at the State University this year. This unusual announcement was made this afterboon by .Manager Barnes, who gave as the reason for omilting the annual event that there are only five sophomores who have enough track athletic ability to entitle them to compete. In consequance the customary big athletic event of the year for the two lower classes is off. "It is & strange coinc.dence that only five of the forty athletes who are daily train- ing in the track and field events are in the sophomore class, the remaining thirty- five being unequally distributed between the other three classes, twenty of whom are in the freshmen class.

BERKELEY, CavL., March 2.—The com- mittee on *‘courses of study’ of the Berkeiey Board of Education has decided that there are too many problems that are in the nature of puzzies and too little practical aritumetic in the present courses in mathematics in the grammar schools. They are inclined to the belief that the children are suffered to use their wits to a useless-purpose in the attempt io solve many of the problems set beiore them. The committee will investigate the matter further and make a formal report to the board. from Many Students Assisted.

Trowuridge to reconsider his resignation as Commissioner to the Inter- natiopal Exhibition at Hamburg have failed, astis health will not permit him to serve. Regarding the funds for the Cali- fornia exhibit he said: *I think there will be enough money raised. It will only 1eed about $3500 to make a creditable display and most of it had been raised before I seni in my resignation. The ra Ircad and the Hamburg steamship line will give free transportation, so there will be comparatively little expense in making a creditable display.” Married in Stockton. OAKLAND, CarL., March 2.—Miss Kittie Virginia Lemis, daughter of Edward Lemis, formerly a Deputy Sheriff of this | county, and a sister of the late Mrs. Frank Fie.d, was married in Stockton to-day. | Benjamin Green Maynard of Stockton was the groom.

The ladies of the Ebell Society are con- siderably disturbed. Some weeks ago lit- tle black balls were used by the secret committee that passes on applicants. The facts of the case were published in the pa- pers and the ladies were borrified. Efforts were made to discover the un- worthy members that were discussing mat- ters of state in the forum, but they availed | nothing. Then some of the members made remarks to reporters and others raplied to them, and for a couple of days there was a sort of social riot. Some members did not see why members should not be voted | on openly, and others frowned on such a blebeian suggestion.

Now a call bas been issued for a spe- clal meeting on the afternoon of March 12. The purpose of the meeting will be to endeavor to come to an understanding in regard to the publication of the club mat- ters in the newspapers. It nas beeu the policy of the executive officials to refuse to discuss club affuirs publiely, and an el- fort will be made to have the rank and file of the members accept this policy. The meeting will be executive, and the list of subjects to be discussed is slightly significant. There will b> short talks by different members on the following subjects: “How Much 8iculd a Club Entertain?"’ “Tne Club and the Press—Wuai scc al re- | lations shouid not be described the so- ciety columns of a newspaier “The Ciub a Castle—What may be talked about to non-member-? What be- longs to the private home life of the club?” “Social Life—What woman is eligible for membership? Within a club all belong to one set”’ “The “Unclubable Member.” The Disazreeabie Member.” ‘Qualifications for a Member of the Nominating Committee.” *Q salifications for a Director.” “Qualifications for 8 Member of a Com- mittee.” “Who Rules?—All members are queens and all are subjects. Association with peers the best for moral and mental devel- opment.” “‘Respect for Authority—The authority of the directors and of the commit:ees.” “Tne Greatest Value of Class Work— Not wnat is learnea in classes, but learn- ing to be willing to learn the great good.” “Does Club Life Promote Self-Sacrifice? Tue sacrifice of the one for the many. Shall it be I or thou?” *'‘Graciousness Dwells in a Woman’s Ciub.” “We want to keep our affairs to our- selves,”’ said a prominent member to- night. “Where thereare about 400 ladies there are bound to be differences of opin- ion and these create discussion. Our club- rooms are the places where these d. s1ons begin, and 1t is our intention that they shail not be carried on in public print. It is very probable that a rule may be passed that any member who shail talic about club affairs to reporters will be expelied.” IFTER A COMMAND.AT, | Lieutenant W.inn's Succsssor to Be Appointed Very Soon. Pref:rence of the Stulents for a Commander Being Consuited F.ve in the Field. BERKELEY, CaL., March 2.—The bat- tle for the commandancy of the University Battalion, which position becomes vacant upon the retirement of Lieutenant Winn in May, is waxing hot. Five candidates are in tkte fiela for the place, and each is storming the fort in hopes of capturing the position. The board of regents will proba- bly make the recommendation to the Government of some one of the five young candidates at their meeting next Tuesday. The five who are after the position and whose names have been spread abroad among the students are Lieutenant Armes of the Presidio, who played center in the Olympic team last fall; Lieutenant Mc- Cormack, an Olympic end; Lieutenant Nolan, also of the Presidio and a well- known athlete and social light; Lieuten- ant Cloman, lately of the East, and Lieu- tenant Anderson, The situation with regard to the naming of a commander for the Berkeley post isa pecaliar one just at this time. Such a bug- Lear bas the military service at the uni- versity become to the average student that the regents in-tead of leaving the ap- pointment of an officer to the position entirely in the hands of Uncle Sam have cecided to take into consideration the feelings and wishes of the cadets with the hope of making the service more agree- able. Ordinar.ly an officer is detailed by the military authorities at Washington to take command of the post without con- sulting the likes and daisiikes of the students, but this time maiters have changed, as may be seen from the follow- ing extract from a letter written by Regent Reinstein to the students: My attention has been called to the fact that s friendly feeling between the students of the university and the commandart of the cadets might tend to increase the efliciency of the miliiary instruction. A cordial relation be- uween the commandant and studenis seems to be a strong factor in the selection of such an officer. Tne question of naming the successor 10 the present officer has come up for consid- eration Deiore the regents. Icall your attention to the fact that his selection was referred to the committee on i ternal administration of the university, com- posed of Regent George T. Marse, Juige Charles W. Black, Charie- F. Grocker and Sam- uel T. Black, which committee will report on this matter probably at the meeting of the re- gents on the second Tueswlay in March at Mark Hopkins Tastitute of Art.” The report of the committee will probably be prepared at some considerable time prior (o the meeeting, and such report if unanimous will have great welght and probably will carry with the board of regents. 1f you tuink, as it seems to me, that a friendly feeling on the part of the stu- Qdents toward the military instructor would tend to increase the efficiency of that depari- ment of the university, and if there be any considerabie sentiment on the part of the stu- dents in fayor of any one applicant for the position of military instructor, I would sug- gest Lo you that such g-neral sentiment of the students, if it should exist, should be brought 10 the attention of this committee on internal adm nisiration, as the membersof that com- mittee will give careful consideration to every factor and matter which will have a tendency to beuefit the university. O tne candidates out for the place Lieutenant Cloman seems to be the most favored. ———————— To Abate a Nuisance. OAKLAND, CarL., March 2.—Notice way posted in a lot at the corner o! Eighteenth and Cypress streets yesterday by Health Officer Bradley, notifying the owner, J. C. Quinn, to abate the nuisance caused by <iagnant water upon the lot.

DIRECT LIYE TO AKLAAD Commission Men Intend to Run River Steamers This Season. Conference With Steamboat Man- agers, Who Are Inclined to Indorse the Proj:ct. OARLAND OFFICE BAN FrANcIsco CALr, 9u8 Broadway, March E The scheme by which Oaklanders wilil be able to purchase all kinds of produce at prices below those now charged took a big advance to-day. An outline of the expected change was publisbed in THE CALL yesterday morning, and to-day there was a meeting of all those interested to es- tablish a direct line of river steamers to this city. Messrs. Manuel and Rouse, two of the largest local commission dealers, held a conference this afternoon with river steamboat men of San Francisco, the re- sult of which will be that Captain Ander- son of the California Transportation Com- pany will either run a boat to Oakland di- rect in the near future or else Oakland cealers will charter or build a steamer for themse ves. The conference was held with H. J. Cor- coran, representing the California Naviga- tion and Improvement Company, and Captain Anderson of the California Trans- portation Company. Both of these com- panies have a fleet of small steamers and iransport large quantities of produce between Sacramento, Suisun Bay and San Francisco. This is the same district that supplies the Oakland market with produce, but hitherto it has always had to come to this siae of the bay turough San Francisco houses. Messre. Manuel and Rouse produced maps and statistics to show the extent of the produce trade in this city, with the otject of convincing the steamboat men that it would pay to run & line of special boats direct to Oakland. The dealers made a gooa showing. They proved that the 100,000 people on this side of the bay use 1000 sacks of potatoes a day the year around. On the 8 A. 3. boat every day there comes over from San Francisco an average of 100 tons of freight for Oakland commiasion- houses. In the canning season the ship- ments to the large canneries in this city sometimes amount (o 300 tons a day. The steamboat companies’ representa- tives think their steamers are too large for the trade, as they are about 600 tons ca- pacity. Captain Anderson took all the figures submitted and promited a definite answer at an early day. If he should decline to run a line of boats to Oakland it is proposed to orgarize a local company and charter or build boats. Calculations show that in the busy season, lasting five months, a daily boat would be required, and at other times a boat every second day. Tois would enable Oakiand dealers to ship potatoes as ch-ap as Sacramento dealers, or a little cheaper. One firm in this city frequently handles six or eight carloads of potatoes a day. This change in steamboat traffic will also cause a change 1n the location of the commission-houses. They will establish themseives on the Adams wharf property, where they will have a warehouse, rail- road side tracks and ample facilities for business. It has been calculated that when Oak- land dealers buy iruit and vegetables on Jackson-street wharf in San Francisco seven different handlings are required to lay them down in this city, and the freight across the bay costs as much as the frei_ht from the grower to San Francisco. A local dealer said to-day that cante- loupes often sell in 8an Francisco for 25 cents per crate of 160 pounds. To get that freight to Oakland costs 20 cents and here the commission-dealer adds 5 cents, mak- ing a total of 50 cents to the local retailer. When the new plan is in operation the ratailer will have to_pay only the original 25 cents per crate. There are other lines of produce in which it iy said the differ- ence is as great. —— e———— The Munhall Meetingy. ALAMEDA, CAL, March 2—The Mun- hall meetings are being largely attended, an great intersst is evinced in the work of the noted revivalist. The ball in which the gatherings are held is crowded to its fullest capacity at each meeting, and, while few conversions have yet been an- nounced, the revivalist and his co-workers of the clergy and laity are confident that & good harvest of souls will be garnered. Kraulh’s Report. ALAMEDA, Ca) March 2.—The an- nual report of Chief Engineer Krauth shows that during the year beginning with March 4, 1896, ther> were forty-one fires, with a total loss of $6826, and with one fatality. Several recommendations are made for improvementsin equipment, which will probably be carried out. The high state of efficiency of the department is shown by the fire record given. Bonds Redeemed. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 2.—The City Treasurer to-day redeemed municipal bonds to the amount of $5215 60, the same h:lng held by Meyer & Co. of 8an Fran- cisco. FUNDS FOR WORK SLOWLY COMING Unemployed Fare Poorly and Hep: Is Still Deferred. Their Talent Preparing a Variety Benefit for N2xt Monday. Pitiful Cases of D stitu‘ion—Collec- tion Committees New All Appcinted. Hope deferred is aptly exemplified in the unfortunate condition of the small army of the unemployed. Subscriptions for work upon the proposed boulevard are cominz in slowly, and in the mean- time the sloppy, disagreeable weather renders immediate relief more difficult for the men themselves to obtain by a sys- tem of dismal street parading with a wagon in tow for contributions of any sort, from provisions to old clothing, There is at the headquarters only enough food to last until this noon. Pitiful pleas are dally coming in to the headquarters trom families in dire distress, and the well men are sharing the meager supplies in their commissary to alleviate the suffering of women and little children. Of the cases reported and founa deserving yesterday was a family living at 9338 Jackson strect, a woman and three littie cnildren 1n abso- lute destitution. Their rent is long over- due. One of the children is sick totte point of death. There is no fuel, no food, Do money in the house. Their most pressing needs were admin- istered to late yesterday, but unless the child recuperates sufficiently to be moved into the country a physician says death will surely ensue and tue cost of burial will fall upon the City. The chil- dren’s grandmother L.ves in the country and an effort will be made through Mayor Phelan to have transportation paid by the City, 1f for no more worthy reason than it would be little more than equivalent to certain funeral expenses. To be sure.$2546 50 has already been subscribed to the wora fund for a valuable City improvement—not simply to feed hulf-starved unfortunate men. But that in itself would not keep 1000 of the unem- ployed at work longer than about two days. The coliection committees just or- ganized have not had an opportunity yet %o show what a material addition may be made to the fund through their energetic canvassing of different districts of the City. The theaters and the bicycle clubs are to be appealed to by the citizons’ com- mittee to get up benefits in order to swell the fund, and in all probability they will gladly respond. Next Monday night the actorand special talent among the unemployed will give a benefit entertainment at the Auditorium. The affair is in the charge of an expen- enced theatrical manager, and Le dec.ares that he has 100 unemployed men to choose from. At headquarters there was some talk yesterday oi_issuing an unemployed paper 1o be sold by the men. It would be called Hard Times, aud would be printed sig- nificantly upon coarse yellow butchers’ paper. he outgoing whaling and salmon fleet, bound for Alasken waters, promises em- ployment to many hundred men, and the departure of the different vessels with these men will naturally reiieve the con- gestion in the lavor market. These men are not offered any definite financial reward, but will gei board and lodging and a special rate on what they catch. The commissary at the Howard-street quarters received several additions yester- day of food and clothing, but on account of the weather the wagon was not taken out. Mrs, Theodore M. Lilienthal sent three new suits of boys’ clothing and some clothing for women. Jimmy McCord, aged 6 years, 26 McAllister street, con- tributed some bedding and women’s and children’s clothing. A ladv sent a big basket of sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs. Another unknown friend had a special .rder of forty loaves of bread baked for the unemployed. Katz & Sons of the California Market sent 100 pounds of pickled pigs’ heads. Clothinz was also sent ia by Johnson & Fulton of 420 Bat~ tery street, by Mrs. R. P. Hooe of the Hotel Savoy and by Mra. Thrasher of the Mur- phy building. 06 of the greatest needs in the way of old clothing is underwear. Many of the men have not changed their underclothes in over a month, and the absence of bath- ing facilitles adds to the unfortunate physical condition of these hundreds of men. A short meeting was held in the fore- noon and another in the afternoon yester- day in the Chamber of Commerce, at which several of the representative com. mitteemen assembled to hasten the work of collecting funds, and Edward M. Greene, the gDeputy Labor Commissioner assigned by Labor Commissioner Fitz- gerald to assist in the unemployed move- ment, began his duties as assistant secre- tary. It was decided that Assistant Secretary Greene should be at headquarters in Chamber of Commerc: Hall every day from 10 to 12 and 1 to 3. During the day, however, he will visit and con.er with the Gifferent collection committees in order to ascertain just how the work is progress- ing. gravislen was made for letterheads and other stationery necessary to the work. Everything was arranged systematically, and afier to- ay the committee will go ahead with perfect svstem. A general committee on subscriptions was appointed, consisting of William M. Bunker, chairman ; Claus Spreckeis, H. J. Crocker and Lipmann Sachs. Itis probabie that to-morrow tne Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors will go through the necessary formality of approving the rights of way for the boule- vard, Most of these privileges have al- ready been obtained.

As hus- band and w fe died together complicated legal problems arose at once, for the hus- band had left all the property to the wife by a deed of gift and she had willed 1t all to bim. The woman’s heirs, about twenty in number, have been ciaiming the property on the legal presumption that as tne husband was older than the wife he died first, while Howard’s heirs claimed that as he was the stronger he survived and that the property was his at death. *‘We have about decided to compromise the case, each side taking half,” said Oscar T. S uck yesterday. He is attorney for the heirs of Mrs Howard, Daring the controversy it has come to light that Howard’s true name was Pierce, under which he served as a Probate Judge'in Coos County, Oregon.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATHMENT Fuk WEAKN:NS OF ME WHICH (URE THIN HIM AFTER EVERY- ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are tem times worse than the most severe pain. Thers isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and_under such o strain men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether be had not Detter take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. ~ But prov:dential inspiration came to nis aid in the shape of & combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general heaith, but eplarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and e now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his nsme and_address may have the method of tnis wonderfol treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely wiihout cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. Tam nota philautnropist, nor do I poseas an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at onca could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me.
