W. Sohst of the Mer- chants’ Exchange made a lengthy report at the regular meeting last evening upon the committee’s work looking to a con- solidation of the city and county gov- ernments. His principal points are given for=—2 Such is the cry that every candidate | likes to hear in a Republican County | Convention, for it means much. To con- trol the delegation is a double-ended ad- vantage, for Alameda township sends the largest individual delegation to the con- vention, and can almost demand in conse- quence the support of every other delega- tion for her candidates. Just at present Alameda is causing the politicians much unrest, for there are two candidates who are thoroughly in ear- nest, and each wants to control the dele- gation. They are Oscar Rogers, Chief of Police, who wants to be Sheriff, and J. B. Barber, who wants to succeed himself as County Tax Collector. A year ago Rogers announced his can- didacy and set about his campaign, and at that time there seemed to be a shade of doubt as to whether Barber, having had two terms, would essay to secure a third. Rogers seemed to be going along swimmingly, till Barber commenced lay- ing his wires, and then it was at once seen that there would be a lively struggle for the delegation. A few days ago a “J. B. Barber” Republican Club was started, the first in the campaign, and Rogers clubs are expected to follow. At present the friends of both men claim to be sure of hearing that “Alameda, forty ' for their favorite. s contest on the Encinal is occupy- ing the attention of the whole county, for no one cares to interfere in the interest of either man, only to come out even- tually a loser. City Auditor Snow, who has been asked to get into the county fight, or into the State contest, for the purpose of helping others to pull their political chestnuts out of the fires which threaten them, ha made a positive statement that he i a practical student of municipal politics, and that he is not to be tempted to Eo outside that sphere. As it is evident that the Republicans will need a new yor next spring this is construed as meaning that Mr. Snow would not refuse the job. An effort was made to induce Mr. Snow to run for State Controller, but this could only have the effect of diverting strength from the candidate for M local gubernatorial candidates, its yurpose was too apparent, and Mr. Snow did not bite. He was then suggested as a likely candidate to get Into the County Cler! by the opponents of Frank Jordan, but this has also falle and Mr. Snow will sim- ply be a spectator of politics till next spring. Warren B. English is announced as a candidate for a _county office. He is the Democratic ex-Congressman, yet certain which nomination he wants from his party, but probably Sheriff or Treasurer. e GRAND JURY AT WORK. All Physiciaz;s Named by Mayor Thomas for the Board of Health | Subpenaed. OAKLAND, March 2.—The number of | witnesses in waiting on the “anxiou: seat,” as the bench outside of the Grand Jury has come to be known, has ma- | terfally increased. The standing and po- sition of the various persons show that the inquisitors are leaving no stone un- turned to get at the real facts in all the | rumors regarding the sale of positions about the City Hall and the payment of a regular stipend to keep their positions by certain individuals. Those under subpena for to-day’s se sion _included Chief of Police Charles vd, John A. Sands, Peter Garrity, D. McCarthy, Leslie Blackburn, A. W. Deveraux, Dr. C Brinckerhoff, Dr. H. | Rucker, Dr. H.

Candidates Who Will Seek to Serve | the Racetrack Town. | OAKLAND, March 2.—The town of Emeryville will hold its second annual election of local officers on April i1. There | will be no party tickets, but each candi- | date will have to secure a nomination by | petition. Few candidates have put in an | appearance, however, and the only fight seems to be for the position of Town | Marshal. James T. Cushing, the incumbent, is opposed by his deputy, Morris H. Lane. | Both are well and favorably known and | it is to be a friendly fight. However, | each is doing all he can to win. The | other offices to be filled and those seek- ing them are: Treasurer, C. G.

H. Cristie, president, Wil liam Fiéldwick and John Doyle, the in. Schaffer of the cumbents. The three have only one op- ponent, J. George Smith, who ran for Clerk last year and received the same | number of votes as Coburn. The new board will have the selection of an Engineer, Justice of the Peace and Town Attorney. Mr. Smith is now the | Engineer and should he succeed in his | desire to be a Trustee there is no other | man capable of filling the position now | living in the town. Thomas C.

The bid of Cotton Bros & Co. for the building of the bridge has been accepted, subject to a few changes advised by the board's ex- pert, Arthur Brown. Now Captain Mitchell. OAKLAND, March 23.—Bailiff 8. H. Mitchell of the Police Court was_ com- missioned captain to-day by the Police and Fire Commissioners. He was ap- pointed as a special officer March 5, 187, and two years later was made a regular. For several years he has been bailiff and property clerk. The change in rank gives him $25 a month more pay, but he will re- main at his old post. Napa Visitors Injured. OAKLAND, March 23.—Misses Mary and Della Davis of Napa were run down by a runaway team last evening and se- riously injured. The ladies were on the crossing when Miss Mary was struck by the wagon tongue. The team and wagon passed.over her prostrate body, but she escaped without further injury.

Thayer, presiuent of the As- sociated Students, was the first speaker. He spoke on the subject “The Students' Gift to the University.” “Few of us,” he said, “will be able to advance the pros- perity of our university by pecuniary | generosity or by political influence, but | we can do our share to create a new col- Jege spirit, a spirit thoroughly in conso- | the nance with the greater university, teed realization of which has been guaran by munificence of a benefactor.” Assistant Professor William .

ALAMEDA, March 23.—Some time ago Poundmaster Josephs had Samuel Orr arrested on a charge of tearing down the fence of the pound vard and taking some horses therefrom. The case came to trial to-day, and after the complaining witness had told his story a motion was made to dismiss, which Justice Morris granted. There was not a particle of evidence to sustain the allegations of the complaint in any way. Alameda County Coal Tested. ALAMEDA, March 23.—A test of the coal from the Corral Hollow mines was made at the electric light works in tHis city last night with the most favorable results. No difficulty was encountered in keeping up all the steam that was needed, while the amount consumed compared fa- vorably with the usual quantity of the imported articie. An effort will be made to induce the City Trustees to use the lo- cal product, as it is much cheaper than any other that can be obtained. Willard Memorial Services. ALAMEDA, March 23.—Special services in honor ot the memory of the late Fran- they ces Willard were held at the First Meth- | odist Churen in this city last evening un- der the auspices of the local W.

OAKLAND, March 2.—At a meeting of the Market-street Congregational Church to-night_the officers recommended that Pastor Rev. E. 8. Chapman, D.D., who has been elected superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of the Pacific Coast, be granted two months’' vacation, begin- ning April 1, provided he did not present his resignation. This the church voted unanimously to adopt and Mr. Chapman accepted the compliment. He will go to Bodega, Sonoma County, on the st to address the Young Peugle'u Christian Union_Convention, being the Endeavorers and Epworth Leagues of that count; Next week he goes to Riverside and Hed- lands, where there is to be a campaign to keep saloons out.

Warner, president of the Levi Strauss Scholarships Club, spoke of the good that s being accomplished in the university by the scholarships annuaily awarded to assist students in obtaining an education, ‘Our great national demo- ratic educational system,” he declared, is the result of an appreciation of the principle that an educated citizenship is a great reservoir of national strength. The generosity of two of our benefactors, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst and Levi P Strauss, has done much to realize an edu- cational ideal.” Professor Thomas P. Bailey Jr., In an address on “University Spirit,” declared that a greater college spirit, academic, SO c¢lal and moral, is needed at the univer- sity. He strongly condemned a moral de- ficiency, which he declared exists in the State University at present and manifests itself in various forms of dishonesty. “Painful as it Is_to say it Professor Bailey declared, “it is nevertheless true that the morality of our university is not what it should be. Lying and cheating are carried on fn various forms, in the senfor classes as well as in the lower classes, in spite of the strong condemna- tion which the students passed upon the evil custom several years ago. Until this evil {s eradicated by the joint efforts of faculty and students we boast in vain of our magnificent grounds and material re- sources. The thing can be done, and I hope that by the lime the next charter day comes around some speaker may be able to announce from this platform that it _has been done.” Regent James A. concluding speech on the subject Utility of University Education.” sald, in part: “There are still some excellent people who refuse to acknowledge the utility of college education, They declare that self- taught men are the best educated, and in support of this statement they point to the examples of George Washington, John Marshall and Abraham Lincoln. These instances merely demonstrate, how: ever, that men of genius may achieve di tinction in spite of handicaps and disad- vantages. Who knows but that, had these men been possessed of a university edu- cation, much time and effort might not have been economized and directed to- ward even more productive channels? “With a population of about 2,000,000, California has in her State University about 2000 students. That is, only one out of 1000 of our population enjoys the ad- vantages of the university = education which the State offers. Yet if the edu- cation given to these comparatively few be of the right sort, it will result in im- mense good to the body politic of which Tsity, always a member of the ‘Waymire made the “The He | the students are members. “What we need most at present,”” con- cluded the speaker, ‘is more men with intelligence to know their duty, and cour- age to perform it.

OAKLAND, March 23.—The second trial of ex-Jockey Hinrichs is on the docket | of Recorder Quinn of Emeryville for to- morrow morning. Justice E. A. Lawrence of Brooklyn Township will occupy the bench. Twenty-four talesmen have been summoned, but as only nine of fifty-six were examined at the first trial it is believed that a jury cannot be secured. It is possible that a change of venue will be asked on this account before the case begins. “Festival of Blossoms.” OAKLAND, March 23.—A meeting of the Ceramic section of the Ebell Society will be held Tuesday afternoon next to complete arrangements for the “Festival of Blossoms’” which the members have planned for Saturday afternoon and evening of April 2. It is to be an exhibit of Jupanese ware and the name has its origin tion in April each year to celebrate the advent of spring. The young ladies be- longing to the section will be dressed in Japanese costumes and will serve the guests with tea. —_—————————— PRINDLE GOT NERVOUS. He Will, However, Get the Schooner Which He Chartered From Van Smith. The warrant sworn out by H. M. Prin- dle against J. T. van Smith, general man- ager of the British Steamship and Yukon Gold Dredging Compaay, has mnot been served for the reason that Prindle got nervous and made a mistake. The war- rant was got out in Seattle by Prin- dle because he thought Van Smith would not fulfill his contract and produce the schooner. La_Ninfa, which Prindle had chartered. It now develops that Van Smith has been here getting the schooner Teady, but he did not notify Prindle of the reason of delay so_the latter took a somewhat unwarranted step to recover the charter money that he had paid. Van Smith said yesterday that Prindle had not been taken in and that the ves- sel would be delive: to him at once in this city as called for in the agreement that he has with Prindle. et ————————————————— e The fac-simile signature of is on every wrapper of CASTORIA. 1 would like | After the conclusion of the ex- | in the Japanese gala demonstra- | 19 Auction Balcs FRANK W.
