Duty of Election Contestants to Apologize to Maligned O:ficials. A Returned Traveler Reports a Great Interest in the Endeavor Conven- tion and California OAKRLAND OFFICE BAN FRANCISCO CaLy,) 908 Broadway, April 11. | | Beneath the surface of local society | there is in Oakland a continual under- jcurrent of uneasiness, caused by the | anonymous letter writer. This remark | does not refer to the class of anonymous tters that nearly led up to the death ast week of a lumber company’s mar ager, but to the class who pose as legiti- | mate ‘“soclety.” A few months ago the | cowardly method of attack was used | against a very estimable young lady, and {caused her considerable undeserved { anguish with regard 1o the Deux Temps | Club. Some time previous the same | method of creating unhappiness was | practiced, with a prominent financier for | the victim. Within the past two weeks, | bowever, an effort to hurt the feclings and standing of an innocent schoolgir! has been made, but becanse of the nobility | of mind of all concerned, it has proved futile, The girl in question is attending one of | tbe most fashionable educational institu- | tions in this eity. Owing to one of those | unbappy events which are so painfully prevalent in modern society in & Btate | where divorce laws are easy the young lady is at present a ward of Mrs. Presco | whose work on behalf of unbavpy i | ones cannot be too highly commended. Because of this lady’s works on behalf of all children needing more care than is ac- | corded them by those responsible for them an impression has gone forth that there is a stigma attached to her large family. This is cruelly false and the young lady referred to is inferior in birth | or personal charms to none. | The anonymous letter-writer, however, | actuated by a motive worthy of ‘s Machia’ veili, wrote to some of the parents of the pupils and tried to create trouble. The result eould not have been very satisiac- tory to the writer, for it led to inquiry and gave a good opportunity to make 1| public the exact status of about fifieen le for whom Mrs. cial capacity is re- worthy young peo Prescott in her o sponsible. One o1 the parents written to is a man known officially, professionally and asa citizen all over this State and would ten | thousand times sooner strike down a | coward than be & parly, however remote, 10 an injury against an innocent child, and if he could fina that letter-writer Mrs, Prescott’s wards would need no other de- fender. The politicians have had a recount, and it is to be hoped that they are satisfied with the money they Lave thrown away. been committed in the interest of Mayor | Thomas was a most remarkable proceed- | ing from the very beginning. Although some very serious sllegations were made “on information and belief’ nobody was anxious to beknown as the party who was Mr. | making the contest on benalf of Davie. One individual did pubi and that he would not pay it unless there was & recount, but he did not pay the expenses, and it is not at all likely that Attorney Georse de Golia will proclaim | from the housetops who paid his fee. But that is not the point of greatest in- | terest at present. The experience of two | recounts held in less than two weeks has | been to prove that mo fraud was com- | mitted. It 1s a favorite cry to make in | modern politics, that corruption was re- | sorted to to secure certain results. That cry was raised two weeks ago and has been effectively refuted and everybody should know that politics in Oakland, so far as an election count is concerned, is absolutely pure. Out of nearly 10,000 | votes cast for Mayor, a judicial recount |only made a difference of ten, and as about thirty-four boards of | there were election officers, who were on duty from | twenty-four to twenty-eight hours, they are entitled to an apology from those who unjustly maliened them. Few men are more observant or broader | in their observations than theatrical man- | agers, and when they express an opinion | on current events their views are gen- | erally correct. A few weeks ago Mark | Thall, the well-known Macdonough man- | ager, left the East with a company tray- | eling westward. After stopping at all the | 1arge cities of the South and Southwest he | arrived here Friday. He reports hearing | more of Canfornia than in any other period during twenty-five yearsof active theatrical life, *I have traveled over this country for | the greater part of thirty years,” said Mr. | Thall, “and I have never heard so much | interest expressed in California as I have | listened to since I left New Orleans. This Christian Endeavor Convention that | meets in San Francisco in July is the | cause of it. In the hotels and the theaters people are button-holing every Californian that comes along and wanting to know ali about the State. It is really remarkable and whenever there was a chance repor- ters would come to me and interviow me | about Ban Francisco. They heard from | some one that I was an old-timer out here and I had no peace. 1 think Ban Francisco will be sur- prised at the number of young peo- ple that will come here in July. | Thousands of them are not coming out on a flying visit either, but intend to take in the West while they are here. You can rest assured that I told them they would not see all California_ had to show unless they visited Oakland, and I am very glad there is to be a special Oakland day, because [ sha’n’t feel that I talked in vain. “‘People should make no mistake in this matter. It is a glorious opportunity to teach these people something about this State, and they are coming here willing to be favorably impressed. > Stuart W. Boorn. SHOT AT BLUE ROCKS.

OAKLAND, Oar, April 1.—John St. Peter, the Pittsburg embezzler who is1n the city prison waiting for the detective who will take him East, is a lucky man. He will probably be released as soon as he arrives at Pitisburg. Tne Glass-blowers’ Association, whose funds St. Peter brought west, is divided into factions, and St. Pe- ter’s brother Pau! and his friends have the upper hand. As the amount is only $600 Paul St. Peter will make it good and his brother may escape.

Broke a Leg While Riding on the Res- ervoir Road. OAKLAND, Cax, Aoril 11. —~Mrs. M. B. Moyer of this city was brought to the Re- ceiving Hospital to-day with her right leg fractured below the kree. Mr. and Mrs. Moyer were cycling this morning near the reservoir north of San Leandro. The road is bad for bicyles and they were carefully pickine their way. Mrs. Moyer struck a chuckhole and her wheel twisted in such a manner that her right leg went between the wheels. Al- though only traveling slowly the shock was sufficient to cause a fracture. Dr. Stratton reduced the fracture and the lady was removea to her home at the Windsor House. Baseball at St. Mary’s. OAKLAND, CAL., April 1L.—The campus of S5t. Mary’s Coliege was the scene of an exciting contest to-day, the second team of the college contesting with the acade- mics representing St. Jo<eph’s Academy. At the end of the sixth inning the score stood 6 to 5 in favor of the collegians, when the academics left the field. The features of the game were the playing of Flood and the battery work of Armijo and Hastings and of the St. Marys, and the playing of Craswell of the academics. Whidden’s Indictments Stand. OAKLAND, CAL, April 11.—It was de- cided by Judge Greene Saturday that the motion to set aside the indictment in the case of County Auditor Myron Whidden cannot be enterwained.

Mrs. Krieger is the wife of a prosperous, bard-working rancher. His farm consists of about 200 acres, and the horses are strong and the cows aresleek. The ranch- houses are all typical of a successful farmer ana the farming implements are modern and in good order. Krieger is a very pleasant old man, and everything indicates happiness and contentment till Mus. Krieger appears. The lady does not seem to have any right to be on the place. She is very shrewd and economical and works as bard as_her husband, but she is no longer a belle. Many years ago Mrs. Krieger was fond ofdress, and when told by her husband that such tastes were not proper, she at once went to the other extreme, and has not again changed her mind. Although her check for $20,000 would be honored, Ler entire costume would not be worth 10 cents. She is now sixty years of age, and believes she is too poor to buy anything except the plainest of food. In the house are some beautiful silk dresses, remnants of former fashionable wardrobes, but only one day in the year doea Mrs. Krieger ever indulge in the vanity of wearing one. Only once in each year does Mra. Krieger leave the ranch; and that is the oceasion of her annual business trip 1o 8an Francisco. At this time sbe putson her silk dress and fine shoes. Assoon asshe reaches Pinole station on the return tri she takes off her shoes and lifts her sil dress over her shoulders and plods home for two m barefooted. Recently she went fo a neighbor to bor- row some spoons for the use of the help. Her outfit consisted of two old sacks, and when working around the farm one of these Is often discarded. She frequently goes to the beach to digclams, and nobody ever wades out further than s Her neighbors call ner the ““Old Indian,” but she is a German and is very intelligent but for the peculiar notion thatshe has no money to spend for dress. For thirty years the Kriegers have lived on their ranch, ana their only daughter is married to a San Francisco druggist. BERKELEY'S ELECTION, A Very Heavy Vote Is Expected in the College Town To-day.

Professor Rising’s Pian to Help Those in Need. BERKELEY. Oav., April 11.—Professor Willard B. Rising, president of the Students’ Aid Society, wants to see a dormitory system established at the State University for the benefit of the needy collegians who are now cooking their own meals and making their own beds. He has called a meeting of the society for to-morrow evening, at which he will present a plan for a long building, to be converted into a Loarding-house or com- mons for the seventy young men who are now doing their own housework. He believes that if they all clubbed to- gether and employed two or three cooks they could live almost as cheaply as at present and would not have to suffer the bardship of existing on two unwholesome mealsa day, as many of them at present are doing. There is some talk of securing several of the university cottages which were pri- marily intended for student use, but whieh have of late years been rented to members of the university corps and others. According to the statistical report re- cently issued by the Aid Society a large number of young men are living on from $5to $12a month. The sixty-eight schol- arships which have recently been en- dowed will yield $125 a year each, or $12 50 a month for the college year. It is be- lieved that this amount, added to the present income of the self- sustaining students, will do much toward alleviating their straitened circumstances. CAME T0 SAY FAREWELL, Mlle. Aimee Pascal Sings Only Once at the Calilornia Theater., Polling End of the Season With Ovations for the Artists—Last N.ght's Farewell. The handsome Aimee Pascal, who has been held in reserve during the whole opera season, was ailowed Saturday night, at the final performance of the regular season, to make her first and, for the pres- ent at least, her last bow to a San Frau- cisco audience. It was a very little chance that the beanty of the troupe was given. She played Selika in the second act of “*L’Afri- caine,” a role in which the now popular Mme. Foedor won absolutely no abplause on ihe opening night of the season. The beauty had to disguise her good looks be- neath the dusky skin and hideous cos- tume of the African, but even hampered thus people compared her to Maxine Elliott on account of her fine, command- ing figure, her handsome profile and flash- ing eyes and teeth. Selika’s music in the second act of “L’Africaine” is of a weird and barbaric description which appeals little to the popular ear, though it has charms of its own. Hampered both by make-up and score, Pascal svcceeded in making a ver iavorable impression. She has & full, round, dramatic soprano voice of even quality. A slight tendency to faulty in- tonation was probably the result of ner- vousness. At the conclusion of the second act of “‘L'Africaine” the six vrincipals were called repeatedly to the footlights. This was part- ly no doubt to show appreciation for Mile. Pascal and partly as an adien to Albers, who had sung the role of Nelusko splen- gmy, and who was appearing for the last ime. The evening bill opened with the third act of “La Favorita,” Mme. Fremeau- Benati singing thoe fitle role. This act gave her an opportunity of singing the mezzo-soprano’s grand aria, 'O Mio Fer- nando.” * In the adagio movement her voice showed signs of wear, but she sang tne bravura movement brilliantly.

Foedor, and the eyen- ing’s bill closed with the ‘‘Walpurgis Night” ballet from ““Faust.” During the evening the hestra gave Mascagni’s ever-popular “Intermezzo’’ and the over- ture to “William Tell,”” wkich brought M. Nicasias in for a share of the applause. *‘Carmen,”’ Saturday afternoon, was not up 10 the standard of the company. It was plaved, as it was first produced, as overa comique, but, altiouzh aided by spoken dialogue, Mme. Savine was neither able 10 sing nor act the title role, and the only tures were the scting and Ibers as Escamillo, the Mich- aela of Mme. Berihet and the acting of Deo as Don Jose. “La Traviata” was given at popular prices last night a« a supplementary per- formance, Mme. Berthet and M. Deo be- ing the only weli-known members of the company on the bill. The large audience showed plenty of appreciation for the work of the performers. A grand ballet, “The Spring Fete,” was given in addition to the opera. To-day the entire company leaves for the City of Mexico to give a season at the National Theater. e e AL BAKER IS DEAD.
