Many Public Questions Could Be Easily Settled After Such Consolidation. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 22. | Although the consolidation of the governments of ‘the city and county will hardly take place this jubilee s not far off when 11 follow the ex- co. year, still the date this municipality W ample of San Franci During the past two ars this ques- tion of c lidation has frequently :n, and in nearly every public question that has come up its solution has depended to a great extent upon this point. The tidal canal proposition, the conflict between local licenses in bay cities, the public park matter and T lines of politics. After half a century of existence as a county, or as a part of a county, originally known as Contra Costa, the bay cities are now in a position to form a big metropolis that will exceed in value, population and area the much vaunted city of the south, Los Angeles. For some time there has been in Berkeley a party which is anxious to become part of Oakland, but no such spirit has yet been made public in Ala- meda. In the event of a division of the county, 1eaving the bay cities as por- tions of Oakland, the interior of the county owned fifty vears ago mostly | by Robert Livermore, but now full of | thriving settlements, would prove | ample to form the nucleus of a county by Itself.

My own observation has taught me that the male sex can take care of themselves. “It might be that the example of the father, vicious as It might be to the boys, might serve to them as a lesson, to elevate their own condition and morals in life. I never would grant into the custody of the defendant, shown to have abandoned his wife and children of tender years, a little girl.

A sketch made in that year, when nothing existed at Berke- ley and the same at Alameda, shows a remarkable growth when compared with the immense mass of inhabited territory from the tidal canal around the bay shore to the northern limit of Berkeley. All this tefritory is prac- tically united at this time, and the wonderful network of electric rail- roads that has sprung into existence during the past six years has tied Ala- meda, Oakland and Berkeley together in a more thorough manner than could any campaign based merely on the NEW TO-DAY. 'HE SENDS IT FREE.| |A Never Failing Remedy That |V Makes a Man Young Again. | TRUE MANLINESS QEICELY REPLACES THE | WORN OUT NERVES AND VIGOR. 1 | ‘When a man’'s strength and vigor is | slowly wasting away from nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. For years the writer rolled and tossed on thetroubled sea of Nervous Debility, Emissions, Lame Back and the various other troubles of Sexual Weakness, until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of polson and thus end all his troubles. But providential | inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that completely restored his general health and enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man, voung or old, who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have Free full particulars of this wonderful home treatment which quickly restored me to my full strength and vigor of youth. Now, when I say free, I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. There are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened man- hood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me.

At the meeting vesterday of the ladies to discuss the park proposi- tion, there was somewhat of a change of sentiment and the majority of the members finding so much .opposition to the different tracts decided that if the Sather tract be not accepted the next best proposition was the Adams tract. There was a very small attendance, and with Dr. Knox gone it seems as if the interest had died out. The Ebell Club is now seriously consid- ering its future. Recently Mrs. John Russ returned fro Chicago, where she spent much time among the women's clubs of that city. She gave the Ebell the benefit of her experience, and a com- arison shows that the local club is far ehind its sister organizations in Eastern cities. Mrs. Russ stated that it would not be long before a club based entirely on the lines followed by the Ebell Club would cease to hold together. She openly declared that the lines must be broader and more philanthropic. As a result of her experience, Mrs. Russ did not exact- ly say that she had discovered that there was too much oratory and too little work along practical lines in the Ebell Club, but the tenor of her remarks left no doubt as to what she meant. There are 400 of | the best ladies of Oakland in the Ebell Club, and outside of purely social lines, their influence is not felt in this city. In Chicago the celebrated Woman's Club | as ¥ members and exercises a great | power through the entire city. The club takes up any case of persecution of women, no matter in what branch, and | having satisfied itself of its merits, they | immediately place the best legal talent in | the city at the disposal of the persecuted. | They also run a large lodging-house for | women which has set an example to the | whole world, and nothing s 00 great o too small for the Chicago women to un. dertake. Mrs. Russ has stirred up the Oakland | club until it is ambitious to follow along lines similar to those prevalling in the larger city. “The day of women's clubs for self pur- " sald Mrs. Russ. “I found only two In all my search- ing, and there must a reaching out in a humane direction if they are to be sus- tained. This sentiment is coming wes as the Chicago Women's Club and doing the same work.

OAKLA , Jan. 22.—A deed was placed on file this afternoon transferring from congideration “of love and affection,” a lot on San Pablo avenue, near Grayson street, 49:6x440 feet, and another on it Ninth street, near Fourth avenue, 33x100 feet. This is part of the property re- cently presented to Mrs. Wurts by Mrs. Ann M. Snyder, as her portion of her father's estate. The same property was then deeded in trust to N. F. Kroll, as trustee of George Clark, to secure a loan of 8?{ with interest at 1 per cent per mon! union. They were Henry D., 22, mar- ried; Julia, 19; William S., 1®& Joseph S., Thomas B., 13; Page, 11; Cath- erine, 9, and Robert, 3 next April. She 5 said that Mr. Bacon deserted her and ! the children July 22, 1895, since which time they had never livea together mor had he supported her or the children. She had not spoken to him in a year. Judge Ogden drew from the witness that for the past three months she had not had clothes or fire to keep her warm, nor food to keep her and the children from being hungry. She ad- mitted that she had been assured that if she gave up all of the children but the baby, only to see them but once a week, all of the pending cases would be dismissed and the divorce case not contested. She was also to receive a small settlement. She denled that this arrangement met with her approval, but it was a case where she had to ac- cept what was offered or starve. She said she could and would take care of herself and all of the children with $150 per month and be glad to get it. The only other witness was Mrs. ‘Egan, who was a domestic in the fam- ily when the desertion occurred, and Attorney J. J. Scrivner, the plaintiff’s representative, who testified that he broached the subject of divorce, and until it was definitely settled no prop- erty interests or settlement was dis- cussed. Attorney Scrivner then announced that he had prepared the findings in the case and a decree wherein the de- fendant was awarded all of the minor children except the baby and the plain- tiff given $25 monthly alimony. “What's that?” asked Judge Ogden, with a heavy frown on his face. Mr. Scrivner repeated the propositon, when he was startled with the remarks above quoted. The defendant’s attorney asserted that the plaintiff was to receive nearly two-thirds of the defendant’s property. Tears came to Mrs. Bacon's eyes, and later she expressed the opinion to the bailiff of the court that “Judge Ogden is the highest principled man that I ever met.” The attorneys asked for a conference, and the three repaired to the Judge's chambers. The case was continued until Tuesday next for a de- cision. "“Neor to Death. OAKLAND, Jan. 22—Dr. Stratton has given up all hopes of the recovery of the Japanese woman shot by Singro Matsu- mato.
