ALAMEDA, Nov. 2.—Nearly 130 little children, upon whose parents Dame For- tune has frowned, were treated to a| Thanksglving dinner to-day provided by | the pupils of the Alameda School Depart- ment. The affair took. place at Masonic Temple and was the crowning success of a project undertaken by the young folks several months ago. The usual good things of a Thanksgiving dinner were on the bill of fare. The school children pre- | pared the dishes and served the banquet and did everything possible to make the joy of their little guests complete. The | banquet room was decorated with smilax, | ivy and holly berries, and bouquets of flow- | ers from the Alameda gardens adorned | the tables. The banquet started at 2| o'clock In the afterncon and it was nearly | dusk when the children retired. The idea of entertaining the poor chil- dren at a Thanksgiving dinner originated | with Miss Emma Postel, a student at the | Porter Grammar School. Committees | from all the schools were appointed to as- sist in the work. They gave an enter- | tainment at Armory Hall fo assist in de- fraying the expenses of the dinner, and what was lacking was_cheerfully de | up by the merchants of Alameda. ! The committee of arrangements was | Miss Emma_ Postel, Miss Ithel Seiden- berg, Miss Ruby Schloss, Willlam Butler | and Miss Alice Joost. 'Foster Griffiths | acted as chief cook of the banquet.

ARRAIGNMENT NEXT MONDAY IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MURDERED GIRL. No Time to Be Lost in Trying the Accused, Who Are Still Separated by Prison Walls. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Nov. 26. Two complaints were filed this after- noon in Justice of the Peace Clift's court which will begin the legal battle over the strong chain of circumstantial evidence that surrounds the cruel and cold-bdooded | murder of 13-year-old Lillian Brandes at Berkeley on the 19th inst. In one complaint William A. Brandes is charged with murder and in the other Mrs. Etta Brandes, his wife, is charged with the same crime. There is no dis- tinction made, though it had been sup- posed that the wife would be held only &S an accessory. Both complaints are sworn to by Rich- ard Lloyd, Marshal of Berkeley, who has taken an active part in collecting evi- dence, which was used at the inquest. The complaints are written in the usual or- dinary form and were preYaPed by Dis- trict Attorney-elect J. J.

CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR. Mortimer Trueit, a Teamster. Instantly Killed in Front of the Y. M. C. A, Building. ORTIMER K. TRUETT, a team- ster, who resided at 132A Twelfth street, was crushed and instantly killed last evening- in a freight elevator on the sidewalk in front of the White Sewing Machine Com- pany at 138 Ellis street, in the Y. M. C. A. building. He was employed by the company, and the accident which cost him his life happened while he was attempting to close the iron doors covering the elevator. The man’s body was found about 7 o'clock by W. R. Martin, but he had been killed two hours before. Truett drove up to the building shortly before 5 o'clock, and, noticing that the ele- wator had not been closed, remarked that he would close it, as the man whose duty it was to see that the doors weie locked was busy. He went into the bascinent, and was not seen from that time until his .body was discov- ered. It is the belief of Mr. Martin that Truett got on the elevator and raised it high enough tc enable him to close the iron doors above his head, and then when he went to lower it pulled the wrong rope, causing the elevator to rise. The head was caught between the girder and the floor of the elevator, showing that Truett had seen his dan- ger and attempted to jump. Had he remained on the platform the chances are that he would have escaped with a few bruises. Truett was 55 years old. He had been employed by the White Sewing Ma- chine Company for a number of years, and was generally respected by his employers and the large number of friends ne bad made during his life. He leaves a widow, who is at present visiting In Cloverdale, and seven grown sons and daughters, ' WATER FRONT OF ALAMEDA TO BE IMPROVED May Be Leased to a Syndicate. WHARVES TO BE BUILT PROJECTORSWILL RUN A FERRY TO SAN FRANCISCO. It Is Proposed to Construct a Land- ing Place and Warehouses at the Foot of Prospect Street. ALAMEDA, Nov. 2j.—Alameda’s water front, which was acquired by a settle- ment of the suit to partition the marsh land north of the city, will be improved. Agitation is already on foot to buyild wharves, coal-bunkers and warehoukes on the city's property. An organization was formed to-dav to be known as the Improvement Syndicate, and the object ot its projectors is to make an offer to lease the city’s water front at the foot of Pros- pect street for a term of ten years. There is 90 feet of frontage at that place, and if the offer of the syndicate is accepted work will be commenced at an early date on the construction of a wharf and coal-bunkers. At the present time there is not a place on the shore of Alameda where a vessel of any kind can discharge a cargo. The merchants, pro- Quce dealers and coal men are compelled to deal entirely through Oakland people. This necessitates an extra outlay for transportation and drayage, which it is calculated. would he avoided if the city bad a wharf of its own. Several mer- chants have taken an interest in the Im- rovement Syndicate and claim that if ts plans are carried out Alameda will be enabled to deal almost directly with the producers and will not have to handle its fi)ofis through the middlemen of Oak- n The Prospect street site for a wharf is an admirable one in ?alnt of location, as the roads leading to it are convenient to all parts of the ecity. It has long been | Alameda’s ambition to have a water front lined with manufacturies, warehouses and other evidences of business activity, and the movement of the Improvement Syn- dicate is the first actual step taken in that direction. An option has been se- cured on a sternwheel steamer which will be used in transporting freight between Alameda and San Francisco. The gentlemen connected with the en- terprise, while admitting that they will endeavor to secure a lease of the city's water front, say it is too early vyet to discuss their plans in detail. It is known they are trying to interest several ¢ italists in their project, and if they suc- ceed they will commence operations at once. Oakland Asks for Time. ALAMEDA, Nov. 26.—The City Trustecs will hold a special session Tuesday nizht to take action on bullding the appreacies to the Allce-street bridge.

Sprague Loses a Fee Promised by the Supervisors. They Exceeded Their Powers. The Supreme Court handed down a de- cision yesterday in which there is some good law on the matter of lobbying. It was In the case of the District Attorney T ot Colusa County against R. F. Weleh, the Treasurer. The former sought to re- strain the latter from paying $1000 to F. S. Sprague on an authorization of the Board of Supervisors, Sprague {s an attorney and the Super- visors hired him to go to Sacramento to attend the Legislature that met in 1803. He was hired to “18bby” In the interests of Colusa County by defeating the pass- age of an “act to provide for the ad- ustment of Indebtedness and assets be- ween any county that has been created or may hereafter be created, and the county or countles from the territories os (\lwhlch sald new county may be cre- otedr Glenn County was the new county that had been created from the territory of Colusa and it was to the interest of the latter county to defeat the passage o!1the act. In the lower court the alleged contract between the Board of Superivsors and Sprague was upheld, but the Justices of the bigher eourt took a different view of the matter, holding that such a con- tract was in excess of the power vested in the Board of Supervisors and hence it was.vold. The point was raised by the defendant that it 1s the duty of the Su- pervisors to preserve the interests of the county and that they were authorized un- der the law to employ a speclal attorney to maintain such interest. The Supreme Fourt dispeses of this argument by say- ng: In the case at bar the Supervisors had n duty in the premises to perform. They had no authority to infizence or to employ others to influence the Legislature in the action which in fts wiedom it should see fit to take. If the board could do so in the present case, then by parity of reasoning it could do so in aill matters of revenue, and in all cases which might indirectly affect the interests of the county. If the board of a given county may exercise such authority, then like boards of ail other countles may exercise like authority in lke cases, and there is a possibility of a corps of attorneys always in attendanc g kg S actions of members i matters confided to the Judgment of t re {s no such au- thority given either directly or by implication s of Supervisors, and the attempt to it by the board in the case at bar was to Board: exereise null and vold. The judgment and order of -the lower court was reversed and Mr. Sprague will not be paid for lobbying. | Tom McHugh, “with flying colors.” HARE G THE OIS HEANY U Grueling Courses at Ingleside. VERY = SPEEDY SAPLINGS COUNTERFEIT AND FLASHLIGHT ‘WERE EXHAUSTED. Sports Who Played the Short Ends Fared Well for a While, but Lost Heavily on the Finals. To-the surprise of many critical observ- ers, the performances of the saplings that contested yesterday at Ingleside Coursing Park were of a very high order, and The Call's tips won every course excepting one, and that was the race between Babe King and Hattabell, which was easily won by Hattabell, who, however, was beaten subsequently by Maggie N, a probable stakewinner. In the non-winners’ stake the coursing was truly excellent. In fact, the coursing pleasures of the day can be attributed in a great measure to the wonderful running of the hares, a number of which, after carrying their pursuers from end to end of the fleld, escaped, in the language of Out of the thirty-six courses which composed the run down The Call was again suc-| cessful in tipping thirty winners.

Work was begun on it a few days ago, but from the start the contractors have violated trade rules by employing non- union labor, working the men over hours and paying wages far below the union rates. The contractors have positively refused to act in conformity with the rules of the union, and the unfon men in turn will fight them in every possible way. The union men employed on the structure will be calied oft at once and at the meet- ings on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day plans will be formulated for further ction. It is probable that a protest will be sent to the fire wardens against the erection of such a building within the fire limits, as some of the building experts in the council declare that it is notfing but a firetrap and a menace to surrounding prope: CAVALRY BAND AND GLEE CLUB Special Musical- Features for the Colonigl Tea on Tuesday Next. The musleal programme for the Colo- nial tea, to be given November 20 at the Colonial Hotel for the Girls’ Training Home, promises to be one of the features of the affair and includes some of the best talent in the city, both for afternoon and evening. The celebrated Mandolin Orchestra, under the leadership of Signor S. P. Fachutar, one of the most distin- guished mandolinists of this country, will render selections in the afternoon and will prove a most successtul feature. The Berkeley Glea Club has Kkindly offered its services. The hotel will be decorated in the most beautiful and unique manner, particular attention being given to the palm garden on the fifth floor, where ice cream and cake will be served. The Fourth Cavalry Band will render some of its finest numbers and the la- dies feel very grateful to it its kindly assistance. The tea room is another feature which demands _special mention. Decorated in Chinese fashion, with little almond-eved maidens to serve tea, under the direction of a committee of prominent ladies, it will doubtless be well patronized. There will also be a doll booth, candy tables, flower stand, lemonade bowls and fancy work stand, while_those who wish to look into the future can be accommo- dated by the most accomplished fortune tellers. The children have not been for- gotten and they wiil be pleasantly enter- " tained in the afternoon. for A new catalogue of the higher plants of North America, north of Mexlco, has 14534 entries, including fifteen palms and 210 orchids.

There is nothing more irritable to a cough than coughing. Constant coughing is Hke scratching a wound; so leng as it is done the wound will not heal. When tempted to cough draw a long breath and hold it until it warms and soothes every air cell, and some benefit will soon be re- cetved from this process. The nitrogen which is thus refined acts on the mu- cous membrane, allays the desire to ¢goush and gives the throat and lungs a chance to heal.
