She was 8 most interesting prisoner. While in the dock she showed that she had not a par- ticle of self-respect left. Yet she was one of the most beautiful voung eirls that could be found anywhere. It was evident that she had received a good education, and Judge Allen was very loath to send her to the cells with depraved and drunken women of older years. When tbe Judge spoke to her and was giving her some good advice, Mabel leered at him and indicated plainly that he thought he was just wasting his time. 8till he did not think it was so much de- Ppravity as ‘‘cusse.ness” that actuated the zirl, and after a consultation with Chief Lioya it was decided to try to induce girl 1o go to tne Beulah Home. Ittook many talks to persuade the girl | 10 go to the home, but finally the plead- ings were successful and Mabel went to Beulah.

It would be difficult to recognize in the sweet-faced rirl at Beulah the worldly weman of the Police Court dock, and when the report was made to the court Judge Allen expressed great commenda- tion for the methods that could transform such a girl. This morning the case was called, as sentence had been temporarily suspended to this date. The officer of the Salvation Army Home wason hand and informed the court thay Mabel is now as gentle, lov- ing and obedient as she couid have been when she played the organ in the little church in Bouthern California before her mother’s death. On this showing judg- ment was finaliy suspended and Mabel is now free from the law. A DATRYMEN'S MEETING. They Discuss New Legislation Diseased Cattle.

A committee was appointed to report on the best manner of permanently or- ganizing, and they will present their v.ews at tke next meeting. Tne action of tbe Supervisors in re scinding the ordinance pas:ed soms weeks | ugo has considerably netiled the Oakland Board of Health.

The crusade against diseased cows is now being warmly contested on both sidesand the dairymen are rejoicing that tne Buper visors are with them and against the city officials.

Mary Mannering is winning her way to popular favor by her acting rather than by her reputation for beauty. Next week the Lyceum Stock Company will present Frances Hodgson Burnett’s play, “The First Gentleman of Europe. “'Shenandoah” is proving the continued popularity of the play by filing the Columbia heater.
