BERNARD ATTACK 5 EITTLE CHIED. ° AKLAND, Sept. 7.—Little Walter Earl Southard, the 6-year-old son: of Mr. and Mrs. Edward South- ard, residing at 8% Franklin street, was viclously attacked this afternoon in front of the Reudy Hotel, opposite thé Southard residence, by a large St. Bernard dog, and the child's mother is now living in constant dread that the little one will become afflicted with hydrophobia. According to eye witnesses the child, who is very fond of animals, wandered across the street and put his little arms about the big dog’s neck. In- stantly the ferocious animal set upon the child, imbedding its sharp teeth in the boy’s right arm. His ™ screams brought guests at the hotel and neighbors to the rescue, and the owner of the dog soon induced his vicious canine to let go and foltow him. The owner's name was not learned. He showed but little concern and promptly rode away on his horse. The child was taken to the Recelv- ing Hospital, where Dr. Sanborn dressed the ugly wound. The flesh was badly torn, and for a considerable area about the wound the gkin is black and blue, and hydrophobia is fe for his age and is the pet of his neigh B e S S R CHANGES WILL TAKE PLACE AT DEAF INSTITUTE| | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, Sept. T. On Saturday afternoon the new board | of directors of the State Deaf and Dumb | and Blind Institute of Berkeley will make an informal inspection of the institution. Next Monday the board will hold a reg- | ular meeting, and more than the usual amount of Interest has been expressed regarding the business that may be trans- acted. Among the State institutions the Deat and Dumb and Blind Asylum is unique, Inasmuch as the law creating it thirty-four years ago has never been | amended and Superintendent Wilkinson, | who was its first superintendent, is still in absolute control, never having been dis- turbed. | When the legislative committee made | the round of the State institution last vear they observed many things in con- hection with the Berkeley instiiute which | gpeared strange in a State institution. | The system of obtaining provisions is al- | tt;lgelher unique in its way. No bids are| advertised for, the superintendent ac- | quainting merchants in a private manner with the needs of the institution and in- | viting them to send prices. They are | opened by the superintendent, who | awards the contracts and then tells the | board what he has done. The directors apparently have had very little to do but ratify and approve the actions of the su- perintendent. In the section of the Code providing for the government of the in- stitution it is stated that {f the directors permit, the superintendent can employ all the necessary help and teachers. With | the exception of the secretary and pos- sibly the physiclan the directors have al- lowed the superintendent to have things his own way. | | | In many instances it was discovered | that the tem pursued by the superin- | tendent was very commendable, inasmuch | as all his contracts for articles whose | prices fluctuated during the year were let for very short periods, so that the insti- tute could take advantage of the market, It is not known whether the new board intends to make many changes in the per- sonnel of the management, but ft s known that Dr. O. D. Hamlin of this cf has three votes out of the five to appoir him physician in place of Dr. Ben Wall. There is likely to be more than one can- didate for the secretaryship. Harrison Clay is the incumbent, but it 1s understood that there are two or three others anxious for the place. Beyond this nothing has been done in regard to the patronage. The directors appear to be o the opinion kinson has run the home very efficiently and economically, but in accordance with the recommendations of the legislative committee they will probably compile a adopt by-laws governing their actions an also devise a new system for conducting the domestic portion of the managemen It is understood that the home, which | now contains 220 children, is fully up to | the standard of any similar institution in the country from a scholastic point of | view. But there is an impression that if | a new man were to succeed the present superintendent the system of management | now in vogue would not be so economical | or efficient. | — ee—————— First to Recover Road Tax. OAKLAND, Sept. .—R. J. Montgomery is the first to recover money paid for road | taxes in the annexed district of this city under the levy made by the Board of Su-| pervisors in July, 1807, and subsequent to the annexation proceedings. To-day Mont- gomery was given judgment as executor of the estate of Margaret P. McCourtney 2z against the county of Alameda for $100 74 road taxes of 1847 paid under protest, and $6 75 costs. A STRANGE DEATH. Mystery surrounds the death of Charles Edward Hutchinson, a local surveyor, who died on Nineteenth avenue near K street yesterday afternoon. The man had been suffering from severe headaches and took a teaspoonful of a patent medicine | known as “Celery Soda” and expired about two hours afterward. Dr. Quigley, of 1501 Waller street, who attended the case, stated that he believed death was the result of narcotic poisoning. Coroner Hill will cause an autopsy to be performed on_the body this morning. Hutchinson was employed as a foreman for the City Street Improvement Com- pany. He was sitting in a temporary structure on Nineteenth avenue about noon yesterday when he called one of his men, George Sanders, and stated that he | had just taken a dose of the Celery Soda | for headache and was ill. He rapidly be- came worse and at 1 o'clock Dr. Quigley was called. Upon the arrival of the physi- cian the man was unconscious and all ef- | forts to save his life were of no avail. He died at 2:30 p. m., or about two hours after his first complaint of illness. Deceased was well known in this city and leaves a widow and son,bothof whom are spending the summer at Green Braes. He was about vears of age. e Cause of Mrs. Grace’s Death. The Coroner’s jury yesterday revdered a verdict to the effect that the death of Mrs. Sadie C.

From Skibo Castle, Scotland, comes the information that Oakland can have a beautiful free library building if she will undertake to provide a place upon which to build it, and to guarantee that she will spend the modest sum of $4000 a year in maintaining it A few weeks ago Henry A. Chittenden a member of the Oakland Tribune staff, wrote to Andrew Carnegie telling him of the great need of a library building in this city. To-day the following reply was received: “If Oakland would do as other cities have done e., provide a site and agree to maintain e libra a cost of say $4000 per vear, it would give me pleasure to give the neces $50,000 to build i but 1 must be sure that the community is obliged to maintain it as above. No use building libraries unless we are sure of their future. For many years Oakland has needed a library building. The city now ha a really valuable library housed in a very unsafe wooden building near the City Hall. It has long been a standing joke that the only thing that has saved the library building from destruction is the fact that it adjoins a fire engine station. In the messages of Mayors for many vears back reference has been made to the old shack, and a hope has been ex- pressed that something might be dov improve matters. The hope has alw: ended in disappointment, and although the Board of Library Trustees expends many times the amount named for main- tenance by Mr. Carnegie, nothing has been done toward providing a more solid building. This opportunity to have a $50,000 build ing merely for the obtaining of a site, is one that will undoubtedly commend itself to the citizens, for the library is ready to move into it, and under the law governing such matters Oakland has permanent decided to maintain a free public library and for its maintenance 2 ular amount must be put in each 'y I have not had an opport examine into this matte Mayor, “but if it is as good as it appears to be, it is something that the city should | | at once take advantage of. Really, within | a week we should be able to notify Mr. ‘4‘nnwgle that the site is ready and he can send his check to the Free Library | Trustees.” ‘COACH COCHRAN NOW ON BERKELEY, Sept. 7.—Late this ing a telegram was received from City, New Mexico, stating that | 1 Garret Cochran had left there this after- | noon and would arrive in Berkeley next Monday, September 11. The telegram came to Football Manager Irwin J. Muma. As the big coach was not expected till the 15th of this month, the news of his intended early arrival is received with much satisfaction by the students.
