Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | %8 Broadway, Sept. 17. The effect of the drought on the fruit industry of Alameda Countv is fully | | shown by compilations just made by rail: road shippers and growers in the interior. During August there was shipped from | Niles to Benicia 188400 pounds of fruit, | 92,500 pounds to BSanta Rosa, 1,607,400 | pounds to San Francisco and 266,200 | pounds to San Jose, while but 11,700 pounds came to Oakland. k At Centerville the amount of fruit han- dled was 600,000 pounds, as compared with 1,500,000 for the same period last year. The | | total shipment from this station was 300,- | 000 pounds less for the three months just | passed than for a similar period last year. | The drying industry at Niles has stead- | ily gone ahead until the present vear. The figures are: In 1865, 296,286 pounds; 1896, | 627,104 pounds; 1897, 1,042,524 pounds. This year, so far, but 415,680 pounds has been | | used. "This vear, however, fruit being so | i“mfi(:l?f prices are somewhat better than | n 1897, | E. A. Ellsworth of Niles, who usually uses up 800 tons of fruit, used but 400 tons this year. These comparisons express | | with approximate correctness the fruit | conditions for the season just closing. | —, BLAMED FOR HER DEATH. Dr. Fluno, a Christian Scientist, Cen- sured at the Inquest of | Little Agnes Dalziel. | OAKLAND, Sept. 17.—Coroner Baldwin held an inquest to-night on the death of Agnes Dalziel, aged six days, who dled | at the home of her father, Antone Dal- | ziel, 2149 Grove street. The father testi- fied that the child had been sick with colic, and that Dr. Fluno, a Christian Scientist, had called daily and had at- | tended the birth. The nurse testified that | Dr. Fluno had been treating the child on | the morning of the death, Dr. 8. H. Buteau next gave testimony as a medical expert. He said the child's life might have been saved; that she died from meningitis following Pneumonlm In response to another question he said: “I am positive that any regular physi- clan could have recognized the condition | of the child before its death. I believe this, further, that the original cause of | the child’s trouble in all probability was | pneumonia first, and this pneumonia con- | tinued and progressed untll complications | of meningitis set in. Tt is not an uncom. | mon thing for meningitis to follow pneu- | monia. The pneumonia could have been | cured; at least, we cure pneumonia.” | Being recalled, Antone Dalziel testifled that his wife employed Dr. Fluno, knowing that he was not a regular phy- an—with his consent. The jury returned a verdict of death | from ‘meningitis following pneumonia, | adding: And we further belleve that had a regular cing practitioner of medicine been In at- nce the deceased’s life might have been saved, and we hereby condemn the illegal | practice of Dr. Fluno and other unlicensed | bractitioners, (Signed) GEORGE E.

FATE OF LITTLE KIMBER MOTHER SWOONED AT THE COR- ONER’S INQUEST. Ignorance of Well-Meaning Rela- tives Brings Sorrow to a Hard-Working Fam- ily. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 17. Baby Kimber, 16 months old, was ac- cldentally killed by its relatives yester- day through the giving of strong home- made medicine. Coroner Baldwin held an inquiry this afternoon into the cause of the little one's death. She had been living for some time with her grandparents, who reside in the country a few miles from Haywards. Yesterday afternoon the baby was taken sick and her grandfather gathered some herbs, made some tea and gave the child a dose of medicin@ which he believea would cure her. Some time later the lit- tle thing dled after ul&edencmg violent spasms some hours. argaret Kimber, the little one’'s mother, said that the baby was a healthy child and was living in the country while its father was working at a cannery in Oakland. The grana- gnrents took excellent care of her and ad frequently treated her for petty ail- ments with home-made remedies. The grandfather sald that he and his ad for many years treated sick- ness with herbs which grew around their house, and always with success. He ex- | plained just how he made his medicine and also how he had administered it. Dr. Buteau held an autopsy and found evi- dence that the little child had expired of spasms which h been caused by acute [ysentery. The dysentery, he testified, was the “direct result of administering a strong herbal decoction which he found in the stomach and which the bnbyé)h)" sique was quite unable to withstand. The jury brought in a verdict in aec- cordance with the medical testimony and declared that although the incident was deplorable there is no doubt that the child’'s grandparents acted from the bes, motives. It developed durnig the testi- mony that after the spasms attacked the baby there would not have been time to have gone to the nearest doctor, several miles away, and have returned before death intervened. Another inquest was held to-da, the death of Harry Vorland, ages into four | vears, who died of congestion of the| ungs, also without physicians being | called in. It was stated at the inquest | that fifteen months ago another child of | Vorland’s, about a year old, died without | E called in, and at that | time several of the Jurors thought proper | diligence was not shown. To-day Dr. Rowell testified that it would be possible | for the congestion to have caused the | lad’s death after it became apparent and | before a physician could be summonead. An inquest_was held this evening into the cause Of the death of the infant child of Andrew and Fanny Dalziel. The infant was but ten days old and was not attended by a physician. MODJESKA’S ROSALIND It was not Modjeska alone that shone in the matinee performance of “As You Like It" at the Baldwin yesterday. The entire company did well. Now and then there was some very little hitch, but on the whole it was a de- lightful ensemble. The theater was packed to the last seat, and both the audience and the company seemed to be in just the spirit for the picturesque humor and sentiment of the play. As Rosalind Modjeska turned the | hands back again and gave to the part | as much youth and spirit and beauty as she ever gave it. Never for an in- stant did her spirits wane; she was positively incandescent in the scenes of mock raillery and satire, and in the more frankly sentimental passages she developed a tenderness that was only the more delightful for being tempered by humor. Mr. Lonergan showed splendid come- dic possibilities in his performance of Orlando. He felt and made felt the did not slight the heroics and the po- etics which are go vital a foil to Rosa- lind. Mr. Herman, whom I am glad to be able to praise at the last, wag Jacques. He seemed to remember that | ‘even cynics sometimes laugh good na- turedly. His “seven ages” was marred by the old specialty bricks of imita- tion; but otherwise his performance was quite in key and easily the best thing that he has done durinz the seeson. Al especially graceful and sympa- thetic character was the Celia of Miss Fisher; and Miss Daly gave Audrey with just the right measure of tom- foolery and bumptiousness. She s a clever girl, Miss Daly. Mr, Young aa Tcuchstone, Mr. Spencer as Oliver, and even Mr. Lane (who ha. not been at whole cast deserve praise.

The Presentation of 2 Demand for the State’s Quarterly Allowance May Bring the Question Into Court. Captain Poulterer, Company A, of the Fifth Infantry, has made application to have fifteen men of his company who enlisted in the volunteer service dis- charged from the service of the State, on the ground of removal. The matter was referred to brigade headquarters, and from there to division headquarters, and it is possible that the matter will go to general headquarters at Sacramento for final action. This will bring up the question of whether the men who enlisted from the National Guard of this State, by reason of the fact that they have not attended four company drilis of the respective companies to which they belonged, shall, under the law, be dropped and dis- charged. It has been generally under- stood that despite this law the men who enlisted would be treated as volun- teers from the National Guard of othss States have been; that is, given a leave of absence for a specified time, with the option of returning to their respective commands within thirty days after be- "I‘g mustered out of the volunteer ser- vice. The impression of many of the men who enlisted and have gone to the front and others who have been doing garrison duty was that they were granted leave of absence for one year by the com- mander-in-chief. If the petition of Cap- tain Poulterer be granted it will follow that all the men who are in the volunteer service will have to be discharged., But another matter presents itself that will call for discussion, and that is the section of the law which provides how enlisted men shall be discharged. In or- der that a man may be discharged it must be on the request of the captain of the cnmpnn{; which request must be n?- proved by certain officers designated in the law. Now in the case of the men who are at the front, the captains are not here to make the demand, and there is no other officer who is empowered to make the preliminary move. At the close of this month another mat- ter will come up that will bear upon this int. There will be presented a demand or the quarterly allowance for the twen- ty-two companies of the Second Brigade. hat is to say, before the enlistment there were twenty-two companies in the brigade, and up to this time there has not been any official communication to the officers tPIBt there are not that num- ber of companies. Unofficially it is known that there remain only the skeletons of these companies and that these skeletons, with a very few exceptions, are without officers. The adjutant general will be called upon to either approve or disallow the demand. If he adopts the latter course steps will be taken to mandamus him to approve the demand. In that way the whole mat- ter will come into court, and there wiil be a judicial determination as to whether men who are enlisted are in or out of the service of the State. —_—e——————— TENNIS DOUBLES FOR PRIZE RACKETS HOOPER AND ROOT WIN THE TOURNAMENT. Miss Marion Jones and Miss Hoff- man Will Play Their Match To-Morrow Morning. A double tournament of the “Round Robin” order was played yesterday at the California Tennis Club, and some very interesting matches resulted. Root and Hooper won the tournament, and each has now a new racket as a souvenir of the victory. It was expected that the “pony” team would enter, but they did not participate in the tournament. Quite a number of spectators were present, and as the play | was constant and lively the people on the line were entertained by some good sport. According to the rules of the tourna- ment, as soon as a team sustained two defeats it withdrew. But five teams en- tered and eight matches were played. Root and Hooper did not meet with a single defeat In the four matches played. Davis and Robert N. Whitney were de- feated once and Adams and McGavin twice.

General Miller has taken active hold of the question of the erection of a hospital that will have accommodations for 300 beds. The need of it has been apparent for some time, and with the fact that 200 sick soldiers will arrive on the China, who will have to be cared for, there can be no de- lay. General Miller had a long interview yesterday with Surgeon Colonel Middle- ton, who infermed the surgeon general at Washington by wire that a hospital is needed here at once. There is no doubt that the construction of this hospital will be begun some time this week. With the arrival of the sick soldiers from Manila General Miller will have to remove some of the Washington troops from their bar- racks to make room for these men. He wanted to take them over to Angel Island and use the b there for their ac- commodation, but Colonel Middleton did not approve of this because of the diffi- culty of communicating with the island.
