A few months ago she created a sensation by periorming the same irick near Haywards, At that time she was brought to the County Jail and Sheriff White was ex- tending practical sympathy to her until he discovered ,that she had been imposing in a like manner on the officials in a dozen interior towns in this State. Last Monday morning in New Orleans | ayoung woman created considerable ex- | citement by jumping into the Ola Basin | in the presence of a crowd. She was res- cued and turned over to the police, to whom she told her pitiful story. There was the same tale of marriage at 13, circus-riding, desertion by a cruel hus- band and a desire to die, and not knowing any better the officials treated her with marked sympathy. She told them that she had traveled down this coast and across to New Orleans, and also sprung | her old story of a sister keeping a board. ing-house in New York who would care for here if transportation be furnished. Mrs. Price in New Orleans is Mrs, Mand Virginia Ballard, and unless the people there have learned the truth the adven- turess has probabiv been furnished trans- portation to some city where she will re- peat her star act. - A QUEER COINOIDENGE Attempted Burglary at the Residences of a Bride and Groom.

Abont tue same time, or perhaps a little later, the occupants of the house a few doors away, where the bridegroom had resided prior to his marriage, were awak- ened by some noise downstairs, and upon investigating found that burgiars had them a visit as well. From indica- tions found in the dining-room there must have been two of the intruders, and the first ti they had done was 10 regale themselves with food and drink. Before they concluded the repast and got down 10 business they made some noise that aroused the inmates and were frightened away without having stolen anything so | far as could be ascertained.

Hol- laday, Lorenzo Sweeney, Honora Suarp and othel These cases have been pending for a number of years and the litization over their possession has engrossed the atten- tion of tle several departmenis of the Superior Court.

Harry Thomas is the leading spirit at the City Hall, and practice will begin in a few days. Cal Ewing will marshal the County Club, and as they are all experts they will need but very little drilling. This revival of official baseba!l has been made possible by the number of young men_ recently elected to office. In past administrations age has been considered a necessary qualification to ecarn official salaries, but the advent of young men's Republican clubs has dispelled this idea and young men are now in the sreat ma- jority. 'Wiil Pringle, the president of the Council, is but 24 years of age. His youth was & month ago considered a detriment to him, but now that the principies of municipal government and other such trifles have been subordinated to baseball, the young man who can make most base hits will be the hero of the City Hail. Oak- land always bas been the great bailiwick of small boys, and now that they are to be given an opportunity to “‘root” it is ex- pected that Jakey Baumgarten, the leader of the rooters, will import & svecial gang from Alameda to support and encourage the noble game, which Jakey has tried in vain to resuscitate since the going out of Colone!

Johnson, chair- | man of tue committee, presided, and all the sub-committees were well represented, | there being fourteen members present. | The reports of the sub-committees dis- | closed much of inwerest in regard to the | | plans for work next July. Robert Cle- | 1and, chairman of the sub-committee on ailroads, reported tnat that committee ad already met and formulated general plans for its work. It was decided to be- | gin work at Fresno in the south and Sac- | ramento in the north. The size of the committee will depend upon the number of trains bringing dele- | gates, and this will be determined later by consuiting the itiaseraries of the various State delegations. Oase member of the |committee will be assigned to each throush train. The committee expects to assist the entertainment and registration ments and registration cards, so as to pre- vent confusion and accumulation of work at the registration booths. The sections of the reception committee, which will be made up of residents of Bacramento and Fresno, will be selected from those who expect to attend the con- vention in San Francisco. Aseach tran | draws into the station in these iwo places the local reception committee will be on duty, sna If time permits will give each Endeavorer in the train a hearty hand- shake ana a warm California welcome. Then each train will be boarded by a member of the railroad committee and several members of the local reception committee, who wiil come through to the City. The train will be in charge of the member of the railroad committee, and the name of the person in charge, the names of the Siate delegations occupyin - the train and the number on board will be telezraphed to the committee in San Francisco, so that exact preparations can be made to receive and care for the vis itors. The arrangements for the north, with headquarters at Sacramento. will be in charge of the chairman of the railroad | committee, Mr. Cleland, assisted by Vice- | Chairmen Ciark and Jenkins. In the south the plans will be carried out under the supervision of Lester B. Smith, as- sisted by Fabius Finch. The committee on stations will be on duty in two divisions, covering the Va- | lencia-street station on the coast division | of the Southern Pacific Reilroad and the station at the foot of Market street. members on duty at these two stations will be divided into three shifts—morn- {ing, afternoon and evening shifts. At the toot of Market street these will consist of twenty-five each and at Valencia street of | ten each. Upon the arrival of delegates they will be conducted in parties of about ten to | the Pavilion for registration and will then | be taken to their stopping-piaces. Mem- bers of this committee will be expected to provide themselves with a joyful counte- | nance, a warm handshake and a large | fund of information as to the points of in- terest in and about the City, the streetcar lines, transfer privileges, etc. The other sub-committees are unable to report definite plans, because arrange- ments of other committees being incom- plete they could not get the information necessary to enable them to make the plans, The central executive committee of the reception committee is in future to be known as the reception committee staff, the sub-committees will be calied sections and the rank and file of the committee aids.
