President McKinley has expressed the opinion that he is very pleased to do any- thing that will show his appreciation of the good work done in behalf of Republi- canism last November in (his county. The campaign conducted in the city of Oakland produced the maiority that saved California to the Republican col- umn. Had not Alameda County sent in an excess of her accustomed Republican jority the nine electoral voies from this State would bave been lost. President McKinley needed no other ar- sument to give his consent to do all that lay 1n his power to help the exposition, and it is presumed that his message wi be in the nature of thanks for the work done in his behall in Alemeda County. In addition to the opening of the ex- position on the 41b, or rather the 5th, tne | Board of Trade and Merchants’ Exchange have decided that there shall also bea re Barade, literary exercices and a display of fireworks. As Livermore and Yleasanton nave decided on a celebration, all the county, with the exception of that dis- trict, will come to Oakland to honor the | day. P. M. Fisher, Auditor R. W. Snow and Miss Mollle Conners constitute the enter- 1ainment committee, and in speaking of the matter to-day Miss Conners said: “Patriotism is in the air. One wants to say ‘God save the Queen’ with our Eng- lish neighbors this week, and later on we wili show our enthusiasm for our own flag. ltisa pretty sight to see the Eng- lisuman lift his bat to his flag. 1 hope to see the day when the American will show our own flag the outward respect which is | part of his inmost consciousness. “We can show our enthusiasm with plenty of pyrotechnics snd otherwise, and a procession that will astonish our neighbors. It will be the first step taken by ‘Greater Oakiand’—the big celebration in bonor of the Nation’s birthday. I could almost give three cheers for it in advance.’’ BEATEN BY HIS FRIEND, Starr Was Not Attacked Because of Stool- Pigeon Work. OAKLAND, CaL, June 23.—Louis Starr, who has besn doing some work for the License Inspector in places. where liquor is sold without a license, was not beaten the other night by a saloon-keeper.

They went with two young ladies into a tamzle par- lor and Starr ordered liquor. He then caused the man’s arrest for seiling it. He was discharged, as he merely went to a saloon and bought the liquor for the com- pany. reward while seeking pleasure was very | distasteful 10 bis friend. Bennett ulso | gained the iriendship of one of the young Iadies, who Starr thought admired him. Starr made some remarks later, and when they reached his friend he gave the stool- pigeon a thrashing.

Then there was Knapp, who was per- emptorily discharged by Cbief Ltoyd. ancrnow there is Louis Starr who inviied a beating. To Prepare for Bryan.

Within th past few weeks fully halt a dozen young ladies who stand well in society have run | to themselves husbands | off and taken without asking any one’s consent, The present epidemic began with Miss Ferreira of San Leandro, who was engaged 10 be married, but who met an old lover, and without notice, wont off. Then Miss Lena Palmteg, daughter of a wealthy Haywards brewer. married Martin Welch without warning day, and the same week Miss Dodo Ubhoff left with the son of a rich man from Pleasanton, to whom she hiad been secretly married siX monihs ago. Now comes news of yet another one, A few weeks ago Miss Gerirude de Camp made a visit to San Fran cisco and did not return. A search was n.ade, and 1t was learned that she had become the wife of George Horn, who is employed in a hard- ware store across the bay. A cquple of days ago the son-in-law came to Hay- wards and his wife's father and mother congratulated him and notified him that all ili-feelings haa vanished. The craze to elope hss actually gone so that many young folks are openly di are reaiiy anxious for their children. *This matter is a serious one,” said a Haywards pastor to-day. people have become imbued with a ro- mantic notion and I have heard three young ladies say, in all earnestness, that they are meditating on an elopement. Unfortunately, in nearly every instance, the victims have been from our most worihy girls and they bave married con- siderably beneath themselves in the social scale. One recent slopement a big sensation bas aiready given promise of enaing unhappily. The young hu band and wife are living apart not think it wiil be long before a move is made to secure their freedom. I wish some way would be found to his foolish business. It is under- ing the morals of the community and is wrecking the happiness of families in a very marked way.” MILITIAMEN GO TO CAM, The Boys’ Brigade Returns| From Tent Life at Bo- hemia National Gu rdsmen Are Now Learn- ing N w Tactics to B: Displayed Santa Cruz OARLAND OFFICE €A FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, June § The Boys' Brigade of Alameda Coun returned from Camp Bohemia to-day. For the past two weeks the brigade has been in camp near American River, and with very pleasant experience was had, especially as military rules were obeved and the cadets made to feel their responsibility. Promptly at 11 o'clock the bugle sounded, and in a few moments every tent in the camp fell to the ground. A little later the camp was packed and moving homeward on the special train. The young soldiers discipline and doubtiess many will soon graduate into the National Guard. C. L. E. Wenk, the newly elected cap- tain of Company F, Fifth Infaniry, N, C., assumed command last evening, and according 1o orders received from bhead- quarters he proceeded to instruct the en- tire company in the new manual of arms | as required of the United States army. ¢4 The new ‘‘manual”1s the result of the change of possibie to execute some of the old move- ments with the macazine rifle now in use. The old ‘*carry arms” has been aboi ished and several other movements have | been changed. On the whole, though, the movements seem to be an improvement on the old, as the positions are much easier. The companies of the First Battalion will very shortly be supplied with new | rifles and partially eauipped with new uniforms. Asa resultof the regular monthly shoot, held Sunday, the following were medal-winners of Company F: Private_Maginnis, score 46, won champion meda Private Darling, score 42, won firet class medal; Cory Caruey, score 41, won second ciass medal; Private Baker, scote 39, won third ciass medal; Private Dade, score 41, won fourth class medal. The comvany will go to camp at Santa | Cruz July 17. The entire Fifth Regiment will also camp there, and Cantain Car- rington, U. 8. A., will be the inspecting | officer.

The old Mechanics’ Institute suit against |J. K. Firth, the ex-treasurery and his | bondsmen Edwin Fretwell and David Kerr has been decided by the Supreme | Court in favor of the defendants. The ac- | tion was 10 recover $600 alleged to have | been misappropriated. The facts asshown | at the trial were these: In 1893 Firth was | the treasurer and J. H. Culver was the secretary and manager of the institute. On January 7 it became necessary to pay workmen employed 1n regairing the P: vilion $1250 and no wairant for tl | amount haa been drawn by the board of directors. Firtn obtained” $600 from the | librarian, it being aftc~ banking hours, | ana $600 from Irwin C. Stump, the presi- dent, and the money was paid out. . These transactions took place n con- junction with several others, and the re- sult was that after considerable book- | keeping jugglery $600 was lost in the | shuffle and the board made Secretary Culver make good the apparent loss, atthough his books and receipts showed | where all the money received by him had | been expendeda. A new board of directors made an examination of the books and | vouchers, and seeing the injustice done to | Mr. Culver reimbursed him, and de- manded that Firth restore the $600 to the ‘insnlule. This he refused to do, and | upon his refusal this action was brought. In conclusion the Supreme Court says: It may also be added that plaintiff’s experts do not pretend to trace the $600 as mouey, but merely find that it was the duty of the treasurer to pay out moneys only upon war- end thai there appears on his books one item of $600 paid out, not on ¢ warrant. This, however, is the item of $600. moneys obtained from' the librarian, the history of the treasurer’s book, his voucher from Culver and the parole testimony of its dls- bursement to the workmen fuily show, and in s0 showiug cutirely exonerate the treasurer | from charge of misappropriation. The finaings and judgment of the court were in consonance with this review of the evidence, and the judgment and order appealed from are therefore affirmed. —_———— Middlekaufl’s Heavy Fist.
