James Millar Says That the Honor Belongs to Him. OAKLAND, June 10.—james Millar, proprietor of the East Oakland Pottery, claims the honor of being the first and perhaps the only human being to lick the Prince of Wales. Millar says the incldent occurred mar rs ago at Portobello, a ttle town on the Firth of Forth, Scot- \d. “We were mere kids then, I and the Prince of Wales,” says Millar, “and we quarreled over my donkey. The "Pririce wanted it, and being too young to under- d that he could not have everything sight, he proceeded to take it and lled me off its back.- Then before he ¢ it we were fighting and 1 came off the victor. I guess his highness doesn't remember that incident, but'it is never theless true.” B AN OLD FIGHT ENDS. Southern Pacific to Abandon the 0ld Broadway Slip.

Treasurer Gilpin is still exercising his patlence waiting for voluntary contribu- tions to the treastry. Up to date the fol- | lowing is the record: Councilman Barstow returned $20. Councilman Cuvellier attempted to re- | turn $10. i None of the other officials holding office under the charter and whose salaries can- not be reached by ordinance have yet been affected by the economical fever. At the same time, every unlucky individ- ual whose salary depends upon the cur- rent ideas of the Council has had his pay cut 25 per cent, even down to those whose salaries were but $0 a month. Last April, when the new government | found a deficit facing it, everybody with | one accord agreed to help the situatiol A statement was circulated at the City Hall, which was subscribed to by many officials, setting forth their willingness to return a quarter of thelr salary to the treasury for the balance of the fiscal year. | As soon as possible after taking their | oaths of office the City Council met and passed & very long ordinance by the terms of which the salaries of several hundred employes of the city, including the whole | of the Street and Fire departments and | part of the Police Department, were lib- | erally cut.

A CHEEKY BURGLAR. Steals Valuable Jewelry While the Owner Is Within Hearing. OAKLAND, June 10.—A daring burglar made a rich haul at the residence of Mrs. J. Andrade, 84 Madisoa street, shortly be- fore 9 o'clock to-night, securing several gold watches, diamond rings and about $100 worth of other jewelry. Mrs. Andrade was calling on neighbors ai the time, and while her daughter was entertaining a young man named Harry Mason in the parlor, the burglar re- mcved a screen from ' a rear window, which he pried open and gained an en- trance. A slight noise attracted Miss An- drade’s attention shortly afterward, and she called to her mother, believing that the latter had returned. Receiving no re- spense, she went to her mother’s bedroom | and found the door locked. Becomin: | alarmed, she tried otner doors and foun them locked. Hurrying back to the par- she apprised her caller of her sus- Mr. Mason *hen started on a tour vestigation to the side of the house, and just as he passed around the corner of the building from the rear he saw a man jump from Mrs. Andrade’s bedroom window. Divining the situation, Mason fired one shot at the fleeing burglar, and he believes he hit him, though the in- truder made good his cscape.

The suggestion to cut the salaries of the corps of instructors was rejected, except that the president’s allowance was cut from $10,000 to $6000.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, June 10— Warden W. Hale was present to- day at the last meeting of the Board of State Prison Directors he will probably ever attend in an official capacity. The session was an important one for many reasons and a full board was present, viz President Fitzgerald and Directo! kins, Hayes, Devlin and Ray. Martin Aguirre, the new Warden, was on hand routine of a monthly session. Mr. Aguirre has spent the last few days at the prison and i | multifarious duties of so large an institu- | ticn, so that he will be far from an ama- teur when he takes up active duty on July 1. Jacob Oppenheimer, the convict who stabbed Guard McDonald, was brought before the board and the nature of the charge against himp read = by Fresident Fitzgerald. He pledded guilty, but was very sullen in his demeanor and fnsulting | in his answers to the questions propound- | ed by the various directors. When asked / he did the dced he said: ‘hat is my business. 1f you can find it out, all right.” 1n accordance with the rule adopted at | the last meeting held at Folsom, it was decreed that Oppenheimer be placed in solitary confinement for the remainder of his life term. He sneered at the verdict and walked away Wwith an oath. Warden Hale then handed in his last report to the board.
