OAKLAND, CAr., March 12— Mrs. Douzlas of Fruitvale is free. This morn- ing George Douglas was granted a diyorce on the ground of cruelty. The husband told the court of the manner in which he was neglected and of his wife’s many unkind acts, and also described how thoroughly their tastes were at variance. Mrs, Douglas did not putin en appearance, either in person or by counsel, and Judge Hall awarded the decree. Mrs. Douglas recently left Oakland for Los Angeles, where she will in future re- side. It will be recalled that shecame into public notice a couple of months ago by being arrested at San Jose at the in- siance of her husband, and charged with stealing her wedd ng-ring. This incident led to an expose of the romantic career of Mrs. Douglas, who acknowledged that horse-riding, hunting and outdoor sports were far more congenial to her than do- mestic life. The little boy will. remain with his father. Before her marriage, eight years ago, Mrs. Douglas was Miss Jennie Van Pelt of East Oakland, ————— PRICE OF A HAND.

She recites thav her hand was caught between the hot cylinders of a machine called a body-ironer. Miss Coleman alleces that she had been employed less than three weeks and was icnorant of the method of running the ¥ | machine and the danger attending it when she was ordered to work on it. She told one Brown of her ignorance and says be curtly replied “Learn now.” Her rizht hand was caught between the cy- linders and permanently injured, and she thinks the company should be made to pay for her loss of salary and also for her sufferings. ——— Parents Meet Leacher: OAKLAND, Carn, March 12 — The movement which has been set on foot by Principal Fisher of the Ceniral Grammar Scho:l, of having mothers’ meetings every few weeks, at which teachers and parents may confer over the work of the pupils, is proving very popular. It is to be put in operation in other schools throughout the city, as it is found to be the most practical way of creating a necessary feeling beiween parents and teachers. A Preacher in Trouble.

CAME T0 LIFE [N A COFFIN The Coroner Called to Re- ceive a Corpse in a Lodging-House. While Going to the Morgue Wagon the Dead Man Sat Upright. It Was Not Death, but an Object L:sson for the Advocates of Temperance. OAELAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO Cur.,} 908 Broadway, March 12, A dead man was found at Miller's lodg- ing-house on lower Washington sireet last night. He had engaged a room at the house and given his name as Hutchinson and nothing was known of him except that he was a hard drinker. The matter was reported to the officer on the beat and a message was sent to the Coroner’s office. Depaty Quellin went to thelodging-house with the Morgue wagon, where several people were standing around the dead man, who was found on the rear step. * Quellin told the landlord what he had come for, and was at once shown the corpse. The casket which iscarriea for use on such occasions was taken through the lodging-house, and two or three men helped the deputy to place the dead man in it. As they were returning to the wagon the corpse rubbed his eyes and expressed surprise at his surroundings. A little cioser investigation ~showed that Mr. Hutchinson had merely been indulging | his favorite habit. Landlord Miller was | so taken aback to see his dead guest sit | upin the coffin that he nearly fainted. After placing Hutchinson mn nis room to sleep off the debauch the wagon drove vack, and the Coroner will get no fee for some time out of Hutehinson. PREFER 10 LIV 43R0 Too Many Students Reside in San Francisco and Oak'and. Collegians Discussing the Disadvan- tages Under Which the Blue and Gold Forces Labor. BERKELEY, Cavn, March 12.—The fig- ures compiled by Manager Bristol of the Students’ Aid Society showing how many students of the university reside outside of Berkeley have created a good deal of stir and it is generally conceded that the often repeated charge of a lack of college spirit at Barkeley finds its justification in such a state of affairs. The matter is be- ing a good deal agitated and it is likely that efforts will be made to induce a larger provortion of new students to take up their homes in Berkeley. The fact that a very large number of Berkeley collegians are only in the uni- versity town for recitations is regarded as responsible for much of the difficulty usually encountered in the carrying out of student enterprises. Prohibition Candiaates. BERKELEY, Car., March 12—The Pro- hibition party of Berkeiey held a conven- tion last night at the residence of W. H. Bone in North Berkeley.

ALAMEDA, CaL., March 12.—The peo- ple of Alameda were pleased to-day to hear that of 1ts own volition the Oagiand Gas, Light and Heat Company had re- duced the rate which it charges for gas from $2, the present rate, 1o $175 per 1000 feet for iliuminating putposes, and from §175to $160 for fuel. This makes the cost to the consumer the same as in 8an_ Francisco, although it costs more to produce gas here than in the City, while the plant needed to supply the territory covered is fully as extensive as in San Francisco. As the amount aisposed of across the bay is many times that used here, it is believed that the rate there could be much lower than at preseni. ‘When gas was first introduced here it cost the high price of §750 per 1000, It was gradually reduced until in October, 1895, the rate was made $2 per 1000, and this was thought a very low price. As stated. the company has not been forced to re- duce the price at this juncture, but has done it of its own free will. Light for the Nurrow-Gauge Mole. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 12. — That place ot more than Btygian darkness, after nightfall, the narrow-gauge mole, now bids fair to be in a short time sup- plied with the high quality of eiectric lizhts furnished by Alameda’s municipal plant. Negotiations have been goingon for some time with the railroad company with this end in view, and the only hitch was in the cost of the lightinz. The bams of nezotiation has been something like $75 per month, and it is understood thata isfactory arrangemeny has about been concluded, so that in a short time travel- ers by that route will be as well provided in this respect as are those few who go by the broad-gauge mole. Arring’s Assailants. ALAMEDA, OAL, March 12—A clew to the identity of the assailants and robbers of the old veteran, Stephen Arring, has been discovered. The clew consisted in finding footprints in the moist earth =bout the cabin of the yictim ana following them to a saloonon the San Leandro road, where the robbers had stopped to refresh themselves.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 12—Henry Lorenzo, one of the quartet of infantile burglars arrested last week, and dismissed on their own recoguizunce, is again in trouble. He is now charged with stealing 4 bicycle, which was taken irom in front of a residence on Santa Clara avenue one night last week. Lorenzo claims that the wheel was given him by another vouth, but the explanation was considered so gauzy that he was locked up pending in- vestigation. Fire Department.

It has been stated that William B. Pringle is certain to be elected, but this is denied by some Coun- ciimen who are anxious to ses W. D. Heits mann in that position. Regarding the City Hall patronage, nothing definite is as yet known, although there are multi- tudes of people out for each office. Dr. Buckland, who will retire as Coun- citman from the Fifth Ward next month, is anxious to be elected Health Officer, to succeed Dr. Bradley. Dr. Buckland, how- ever, has no claim on the Republican ad- ministration. He failed (0o receive the nomination for Councilman in the Repub- lican convention, ran independently and drew cnough stréngth from the Republi- can nominee to insure the elec.ion of a Democrat. 5 The Army and Navy Republican League is a very busy body just now. At last night’s meeting four prominent members were expelled for werking against the Re- ublican ticket in the last campaign. hey were Colonel J. P. McEiroy, £dward McElroy, Ira Underwood and John L. Roundy. The oath of the league is: “To unite in the active support of the principles of the Republican party and_aid in the election of Republican municipal, State and Na- tional nominees,” The four expellea men worked hard for A. C. Henry, an inde- pendent candidate for Mavor, and nearly succeeded in defealing Captain Thomas, the regular Republican nominee, and a respected veteran. John A.

United States District Judge Morrow yester- day granted George Peters $375 informers fees for assisting in the capture of 185 buxes of opium, ior the smugghiug of which Sam Brown was convicted and sentenced to San Quentin for one yeal uses the title of secretaryof the Federa- tion. The Alameda County Federation of Trades is the central body of unionized labor in this county, and consists of duly accredited delegates from every labor union in good standing. A few weeks sgo many members of that body,anxious to secure the election of can- didates who were known to be most favor- able to labor, joined tne Municipal Union Lavor Club. The federation took no part as a central body, which would have been against their rule. F. J. Gregory tried to besmirch the proceedings of the union men by publishinga letter tryine to create the impression that the union was in politics. The federation met, discussed the mat- ter, and decided to send the following communication to the Examiner asking that the matter be set right. The article was as follows, but it was not printed in the paper, which alone had published the statement of Gregory : An article published in the Examiner of yes- terday morning, signed by F. J. Gregory, seeks to impress the minds of the people that he is secretary of the Federated Trades of Ala- meda County, and that he speaks author- itatively for that body. Mr. Gregory is not secretary of the Federated Trades und is not connected with it in any manner whatever. His connection with the federation cessed oyer a year ago. Tne impression he is trying 10 give out tuat the federation is 1n politics is emphatical'y denied, as no officer or member of the federation has been approached by suy canaidate for public office, Tne federation has taken no action directiy or indirectly, and absolutely abstains from taking part in politioal campaigns. iurcher, it has in no way attempted to dic- tate to its membership or its affii{ated bodiés what course they shouid pursue. It recog- nizes that each individual has a right to ex- ercise his rignt of ciuizenship, and act iu his own way, without violailng auy obiigation he may owe to his union.

Secretary Alameds County Federation' of Trades. “The only reason why tbe Examiner re- fused to publish the matter,’’ said Pres dent Rogers to-day, ‘‘was because Gregory was making a fight against Mavor Dave and so was the Examiner, but this shouid not. have affected their atiitude toward the labor unions of Alameda County. It was done to injure the Republican ticket and ;a) a very unworthy procedure.” C. ' Rogers has always been an enthu- siastic - Republican and was active supporter of Captain Thom: although he never permitted the question of poli- tics to be mentioned at any meeting of the union. R A. J. Read, an ex-president of the feder- ation and editor of the Oakland Printer, said to-day: “The claim of leadership of organized labor by F.J. Gregory is en- tirely without foundation.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO mu,} 908 Broadway, March 12. The exchange of courtesies and dis- courtesies between Rev. C. H. Hobart and Councilman Manuel was increased by an- other chapter to-dey. Mr. Manuel says that his position is quite defensibl- and gives three reasons for acting as he did. He says first that the ministers were undecided as to whether they wanted absolute closing or Sunday closing; secondly, the liquor men seemed altogether too well satistied to have both questions supmitted; thirdly, to have two questions on the ballot would be so con- fusing that . the result would mean nothing. In conclusion Mr. Manuelsuys: “You use the word boycott. It is offen- sive to me and originated 1n the question at issue among your own peopte. It has no meaning-so far as I am concerned. If the whisky men and all their reiatives, to- gether with all the reverend clergy, saw fit to boycott.me in any btsiness in whiech I might be engaged it would not influence my actiocn or my vote officially one iota. And I wantto say to you and to them that if 1 swerved in the slightest desree from what I coniceived to be the path of duty on account of a threatened boyco.t, I would be unworthy of the position I bave heid for four years past. “In conciusion, Mr. Hobart. Your pedes- tal of morality may be painted a brighter hue than mine, bt your professinn of teaching men how to live would be better taught by example than by precept. You bave wantonly charged wrong where wronf has not been done. You have, toa certain extent, made retraction, bui be it known to you, retractions do not always retract, and in the presentinstance the sting is left behind to embitter tne hearts of iuose who mignt otherwise be induced to accept legislative office and be of great aesistance in the cause of morality and temperance.’”’ - The Endeavorers.

The writers promised to do all in their power to further this end. Aletter from the Secretary of the Treas- ury to the council, also in response to the same resolutions, stated that the draw- ings and plans fof the buildinz are_under FOOD COFFEE. A PIE Is Never Good Unless Properly Made. A gentleman remarkod -that he had heard so much of Postum, the grain cof- fee, that he conciuded to try some at his house. When it was served at the breakfast- table it was a disappointment and didn’t taste half as good as expected and it was abandoned as a failure.- A few days later at six o'clock dinner with a friend the cup of coffee served was dark, rich and fragrant. After drinking about half the contents of the cup he was asked by the hostess if he ever used Pos- tum, the health coff ‘e, and his reply was that they tried it once and didn’t like it. It was difficult to make him believe that he haa just drank a cup of it. “Is it pos- sible that this delicious beverage is -Pos- tum? How do you make it?” The hostess smiled and remarked that it was her experience that cooks quite generally blundered when preparing' a new article for the first time. “But ii you will insist on their boiling Postum fifteen will produce a delicious beverage thatour family, children and all, could not get on without.”” This incident leads-to the remark that if there be any who have been kept from the use of the gepuine Postam Cereal by the sl venly preparation a new trial with reasonable care will correct the nrst im- pression..

The matter of making another attempt to induce the National Brewery to become unionized was discussed. An effort to this end wili be made. The executive committee reported that it is drafting a pian for the employment of the unemployed of future years, as such a plan as is now under consideration cannot be put into effective exccution this winter. ; Deiegate Rosenberg of the Bailors’ Union stated thatthe twelfth anniversary celebration and parade of that union wiil be held on the City front this evening. The California .Labor Convention will meet to-morrow. The question arose whether the delegites should be in- siructed to vote for the perpetuation of the convention or not. They decided to vote te have the con- vention adjourn sine die. If that body dec des to become a permanency the coun- cil will decide at its next meeting whetber or not to withdraw its delegates. President Hill reported that he had heard that there are eighty Japanese at work in the shipyards and drafting-rooms at the Umon Iron Works. Tne matter will be looked into and if Japanese are found there in any such large number a complaint will probably be made to the Secretary of the Navy. ————— James Cook’s Funeral.
