The First Colorado is commanded by one of the best officers in the country. Colonel Irving Hale graduated from the West Point Military Academy, with the highest honors in the class of 1881, stand- ing number one. He was assigned to the engineer corps of the army, and gave promise of a brilliant military career, but resigned a few years later to take charge of the Mountain Electric Company of Colorado, a gigantic enterprise, at a sal- ary of $10,000 a year. This position he resigned to go to the front at his coun- y's call.

OAKLAND, May 21.—Willlam L. Prather, for many years secretary of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institute at Berkeley, died at his home in this city this morning. Mr. Prather has lived an interesting life of 72 years and was born in Kentucky. Forty-seven years ago he married the lady who still survives him. His early life was spent in the tobacco planting industry, and in 1872 he came to California. He became interested in the development of the tule lands along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and dredged and reclaimed some large tracts. Later he went into the insurance business in this clty, and the family is one of the most prominent in the county. Mr. Prather always kept out of politics, and was so fond of home life that he did not take membershif} in any lodge or club. His children are: Thomas Prather, Samuel D. Prather, Miss Laura D. Prather, Mrs. H. East Miller, Mrs. Harrison Clay and W. L.

CROVERS 48 C00D PRICES Prospect of Fruit Crop in Alameda County. CANNERS NOT IN A HURRY. APRICOTS WILL COMMAND A HIGH FIGURE. Rain Has Hurt'the Hay, but It Has Guaranteed a Good Orop of Sugar Beets at Alvarado. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, May 21. In spite of the many drawbacks of the last few weeks, the fruit crop of Alameda County will be a medium one. During the past week the first raspberries and cur- rants have been shipped to market from San Leandro. Late cherries bid fair to be of the usual size. The rains have done considerable dam- age to the hay which had been cut, and many cherries of the Rockport and Gov- | ernor Wood varieties are badly cracked. The first currants brought $1 75 per box of 10 pounds, and were in the market a week earller than last year, when they brought $1 50. The orchardists who are fortunate enough to have apricots are holding out for good prices. About $50 per ton is the price that is expected for them, but the canners and their agents say that $40 a ton is enough. A few years ago $40 was the regular price, and growers now de- clare that if they hold out they will get thelr price, as the crop is light. The apri- cots seem to have suffered more than any other fruit, The San Leandro Reporter says: The cherry growers are confident that the cunning of the canners will prove that the cherry growers are pretty sharp themselves. The canners are endeavoring to create the im- pression that they do Dot care to pay the Teasonable prices asked and they name prices below the flgure which it would cost to pick the fruit and market it. Nevertheless their agents have instructions to let them know when a sale has been made. Some outside canners have about closed contracts at very jces and it looks as though the sharp neisco combination will lose the crop. the fruit transportation companies have guaranteed some of the growers 3 cents & pound. This will result in large shipments East, and with the small crop in this section nners will be lucky if they don't pay fancy prices before the season is over. The contract for the construction of the new cannery at San Leandro 4s not yet signed, and is waiting on the payment of subscriptions. It is important that the promises be redeemed as soon as pos- sible, as only a few weeks are left the committee in which to sign the final agreement which will add another indus- try to the town. The committee desires all subscribers who can now pay not to wait until the last moment. Information from the beet-firowing dis- tricts is to the effect that the late rain has insured a large crop, so that the op- erations of the Alvarado factory this year Wwill be on a large scale. 2 —_—e——————— Norton Is Heard From. OAKLAND, May 21.—Mrs. Norton, wife of the manager of the Galindo Hotel, re- ceived a letter from her husband to-day which clears up his hurried departure. Mr. Norton is now on his way to New York, and will leave for home next Tues- day. He says'a big mining deal in which he is Interested, necessitates his travel- ing considerably at present, but the pros- pects are good for making a rich haul Roasted the Jury. OAKLAND, May 2L—After being out all evening the jury in the case of J. O’Neill, charged with forgery, failed to agree and were discharged by Judge Greene shortly after midnight. The court was surprised that a verdict could not be reached and used some strong lan- guage to the jurors. —_—— APPRECIATIVE SOLDIERS. Visiting Regiments Thankful to the Red Cross So- ciety. There s no lack of gratitude among the volunteers who arrived in this eity during the past few days for the kind and royal reception received at the hands of the Red Cross Society. The cheerful surprise that awaited their disembark- ment from the ferry-boats, ending as it aid a tiresome journey of many hundred miles, led them to give expression to their appreciation in cheers and letters of thankfulness. The latest communica- tion received was from the officers and men of the Nebraska troops, and reads as follows: Headquarters Company G, First Regiment Nebraska Volunteers. To the Ladies of the Red Cross Soclety of San Francisco, Cal.: We, members of the Ne- braska Volunteers, Company G, First Regi- ment of Infantry, desire to express our thanks to the ladies of the Red Cross Society of San Francisco for the kind and benevolent treat- ment received at their hands on our arrival in_this city. The boys of Company G will long remember the kindness received. Should they be so for- tunate to be called to a foreign port for actual service, the remembrance of San Franclsco will come to them as the showers and summer sunshine come to the Walting blossom. T. A. WILLIAMS, Captain. CLAUD H. OUGH, First Lieut. B. FISHER, Second Lieut. Twenty-six hundred men, composin regiments from Wyoming, Nebraska, Col- orado and Minnesota, were refreshed at the ferry by the ladies of the Red Cross. Oakland is anxious to share in the good work. Mrs. Requa, the well-known so- clety leader of that city, has gathered around her a number of pretty girls and will establish a large table at the ferry. The French Hospital voluuteered to take care of those who have been taken sick and are being attended by the Red Cross Soclety. Its offer was accepted and six patients were sent to its insti- tution, On_ Decoration day the Ladies’ Boston Vaudeville Company will give an ente; tainment in Central Park. Besides gi ing fifty vaudeville acts the entertain- ment will conclude with a realistic pic- ture of the Red Cross on the battle-field. The following patriotic letter was re- ceived from the Gleaners' Club of 621 O'Farrell street: At the regular meeting of the Gleaners’ Club Monday, May 16, it was decided by unanimous | vote to send to the Red Cross Society $10 from the club treasury fund to be used in the care of sick and wounded in the present war with Spain. This small donation is the gift of girls who are in the midst of the fierce fight for dafly bread and for standing-room in the world. Girls who can appreciate the sacri- fices of a soldier's life because of the daily sacrifice they are making in the marts of trade and fleld of to patriotism is of that broadly which covers all sacrifice, of suffering in causes of righteousness in every land. The patriotism which stands by its own country because its banner symbolizes liberty and jus- tice to all nations and because it promises the same to its own children. Trusting our small offering may not be de- spised, we are sincerely and loyally. THE GLEANERS' CLUB, Per Cora A. Moss. There is no abatement in the number of money contributions. The soclety reported a fund of nearly $18,000 yesterday, and it will not be long when the $20,000 mark is girls whose humane kind reached.

A. Gunst & Co., $25; Black, J. Mendelson and Mrs. Mocre col- lected $206 among the downtown business houses yesterday. Court Golden West, Foresfers of America, last evening sent $10 as a donation to the Red Cross So- ciety, the good work of which was com- mended at the time the motion was made for the donation. An emergency committee consisting of about twenty-five members of the Red Cross Society of Oakland was organized this morning under the direct supervision of Mrs. 1. L. Requa and Mrs. F. A Smith, The cause of this move was the infor- mation glven them that 3000 soldiers had remained in this city over night and left this morning without & bite to eat. The ladies soon arranged to provide an Oakland table at the ferry depot in San Francisco. Many volunteered to furnish sandwiches and other necessaries In abundance, and a request was made to Oaklanders going to the city to carry flowers and supplies and leave them in the depot. The_ladies In charge of the matter are Mrs. L L. Requa, Mrs. F. M. Smith, Mrs. Major O. . Lohg, Mrs. Wallace Bver- son, Mrs. A. B. ve, Mrs. Lieutenant Dunwoody, Mrs. A. D. Thomson, Mrs. Paul Losee, Miss Mary Keene, Mrs. S. M. Martin and Miss Veitch. Should soldiers have to remain in the cars on the switches overnight again this committee will see that they are iven coffee and sandwiches before they eave here. They have arranged to feed incoming trainloads of soldfers at the mole on this side from 7 to 12 o'clock to- mox{row. Lunches should be sent down early. The Red Cross Soclety has determined that none of our soldiers shall go to the I‘h(llgplnes in ignorance of the dangers which they will have to encounter. Ow- ing to the sudden change from a tem- perate to a tropical clime many of the men may suffer from their own inexper- ience or rashness. By way of instruction Mr. Rose-Soley, at the request of the ex- ecutive committee, has compiled a folder which each man leaving for the Phil- ippines will carry. Upon this little leaf- let instructions are given for stoppin bleeding by applving a tourniquet, an the course of the arteries througn the human body is shown. There are also a number of practical hints which will serve to maintain the ccldiers' health in the tropics, instruc- tions for making stretchers, dealing with cases of sunstroke, poiaonlnf, etc. Yes- terday the executive committee of the Red Cross Soclety accepted the offer of Messrs. Spaulding of Clay Street to print the first 10,000 of these leaflets, and care will be taken to have a c9py ‘handed. to each man who leaves for Manila. ———— Yachtsmen’s Hop Put Off. Owing to the rain the hop of the San Francisco Yacht Club programmed .or last night at Sausalito did not take place, the house committee in charge of the en- tertainment thinking it better to defer it to some more genial evening. The tug Sea Queen that had been chartered to convey guests from the city to Sausalito at 7:30, and to start back from Sausalito at 11, was countermanded. About a score of people who had assembled at the Mis- sion-street wharf with the taking the tug were disappo WOULD PULL HER HAIR Mrs. Armstrong Threat- ens Mrs. Long. ’ HE DOES NOT CARRY A GUN. BUT MRB. LONG WOULD THRASH | MR. ARMSTRONG. Much Hearsay Evidence Is Admitted Against the Fair Plaintiff to Help Out the Defendant. OAKLAND, May 2L—The fourth ses- ston of the investigation into the charges against Superintendent George Nall of the Thirty-fourth-street Methodist Epis- copal Chureh was held to-night, and most of the testimony went to prove that Mrs. Long was of questionable character. This, of course, was given by her enemies, and | is fully refuted by others. The publica- | tion of the amended answer in this morn- ing's Call surprised the good brethren, and they imagined that Attorney Talcott was to blame for it. He was as surprised as they when he learned that it was out. To-night's witnesses were C. J. Tyme- son, Mr. Chrissinger, Mrs. D. F. Young, Mr. Nall, Mr. Level, Mrs. Armstrong, Charles Armstrong}‘ls mother, and Mrs. Ida B. Armstrong, his wife, the last two named being the only ones to give any sensational testimony. The mother was asked: *Do you know anything against Mrs. Hattie Long's character?” E. S. Finch, one of the board, asked: “These charges are against Mr. Nall; what difference does it make what her character is? Did Nall or did he not make any improper proposals to her?” a I¥e\'. Q’fln Every, representing the de- e propose to show, that she is of a been running | fendant, replied: it we are allowed to, loose character and has around with various men.” Tn order to ascertaln whether it was admissible testimony, Mrs. Long’s stand- ing in the church had to be ascertained. Rev. E. F. Brown testified that she had | withdrawn while In good standing and | was not a member now. Then Mrs. Armstrong was allowed o answer. "She said: : oI know nothing.” She then proceeded to tell what she had Freard. Mrs. Ida Armstrong sald: “Mrs. Long went out to where my husband was at work and asked for him. I object to any woman of her character calling on him.” Rev. Bovard asked: “Did you ever say that if you had Mrs. Long in your power ‘ou_would pull heir hair out? “Yes, T did,” she snapped, ““and I'd do it, too.” ' As all joined in the laugh, she de- clared that Mr. Nail never said at Mr. Rrown's that he had proposed to Mrs. Long a trip to the CIff, but that he did v that Mrs. Long made the proposal and kept at it. At 11 o’clock an adjournment was taken until Monday night, when it is believed that a verdict will be reached. | | " George Long, whose wife is the chief | witness in the Thirty-fourth Street M. E. | Church Investigation now being held, de- | | clares that his first impulse when told | of Nall's proposal was to kill him, but he wiil now only act upon the defensive. | When asked what he had told the board of inquiry, Mr. Long said: “I simply answered their questions and | told of what my wife had sald after Nall | nd Armstrong had been to see her. She came to me immediately with her Story and my first impulse was to Kill the blackguards, but friends persuaded me me flerce | from my purpose, saying that I would ! run my neck into a halter without doing | anybody any good. I wished to avoid subjecting my wife to the unenviable | notoriety. T do not blame Nall so much as I do Armstrong. I believe he is a | snake in the grass, and put Nall up to | do_this thing. | “Do you know,” continued Long, point- | ing with his cane to the little building, | “that I used to belong to that church? Yes; one ill fated day I was induced to join' the thing, but it took me only a short while to learn that I could be a | better Christian by staving at home. The | place is full of backbiting hypocrites, and | T am done forever with this so-called re- | ligion. I really think, though, that Brown is a great deal better than the people who are talking about him.” When gsked if he had a revolver Long answered: “It is too late now for that. I ought to have killed him when I first heard about him approaching my wife, but that was a long while ago. I would have done it then if they had only left me alone.” ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTERS. Court Twin Peaks at its meeting last| week initiated two candidates and re-| ceived two applications. The delegates to | the Subsidiary High Court presented an interesting report of the work of the grand body. Court Sherwood Forest has decided to keep in standing any of its members who enlist for the war with Spain. During the past week High Chief Ran- ger Boehm visited Courts Violet, Frank- fin, Bournemouth and Star of the Mis- sion. On the visit to Franklin he was ac- companied by High Sub-Chief Ranger derson. H;'rl"n board of deputies for San Francisco will probably be named this week. The members of Court Excelsior enter- tained the members of Court Lincoln in Social Hall, Foresters' building, last week, and it was a very pleasant affair. The pienic of the order will be given in Shell Mound Park on the 1Sth of June. ——————————— YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE.
