Until last Monday he was as cheerful as ever, making brooms at the home, but since then the re- markable vitality that has kept him alive for more than a hundred years be- gan leaving him suddenly, and he sank rapidly. Parker came to the Blind Home twelve years ago with another blind man named Chambers from an institution in the northern part of this State. He had previously been a miner, and prior to that was a sailor. Chambers, who passed away at the home several months ago, had known Parker for nearly fifty years, and before he died declared that during the years of his acjuaint- ance the Hawaiian had changed but little from age, and that at the time he first knew him Parker was more than 50 years of age. Frequently Parker related stories of historical facts concerning his native home and of the Hawailan Kings, the familiarity with facts bearing out his claim as a centenarian. When quite young Parker was shanghaied fro his native land and taken aboard a vessel, finally drifting to America, Until quite recently Parker was a fine specimen physically, and he attrib- uted his longevity to the great care of his body and his temperate habits. .l %/ § g( A e A A S A e o na o~ |a hand, and after that the details of the | BERKELEY SALOONS | bond issue will have_to run the gauntlet | £ the politi Finally, when it i Foushe.

The Chiet has concluded that closer supervision over the specials will result | in their being of more use to the depart- ment. The new rule practically increases the city’s regular police force of sixty-one men to seventy-four. It is supposed tah the recent trouble between Special Officer Stewart and Attorney Josephs on a local train from the mole late one night, when the officer should have been on his beat in Fr&z!unle is directly the cause of the new order.

The robbery was committed in broad | daylight, the time chosen by the perpe- trators being between 2:40 and 8:30 o'clock vesterday afternoon, while Mrs. James home on a hurry er- as away from her | rand. What adds mystery to the rob- bery is the fact that Mrs, James had sev- eral lady visitors from across the bay during the afternoon, and they were left to make themselves at home in one of the upstairs rooms while Mrs. James went out on her errand. The most valuable of the property stolen comprises three diamond rings, the estimated value of which is placed by Mr. and Mrs. James at $425.

How- ver, Mrs. James' guests knew nothing of the robbery until after she had in- | formed them. What adds still further mystery to the affair is that a very valuable gold watch elonging to Mr. James, besides a small amount of money which lay near the rings, was overlooked by the thief. The police are investigating the affair, but have thus far found no clew that may | lead to the identification ol the robber. |PRESIDENT WHEELER | EXPECTED MONDAY His Home Decorated With Flowers by | ' the Associated Women Students | of the University.

FIRST NIGHT AT THE NEW CALIFORNIA A large, willing, good-natured, happy { audience filled the California Theater last night to applaud Ben Hendricks in “A Yenuine Yentleman,” and they did to the echo. The play cannot be accepted as an ideal even of its kind (an old-time melo- drama in spite of the pfogramme), and no one need be overstocked with penetration to follow its wandering drift through four acts of realism and irrelevancy, in the end bringing nothing in particular to pass. Apart from the play, Ben Hendricks is a host in himself and perhaps no one is better able to interpret the vagaries and | cleverness of the educated Swede than he. He is imbued with the character and has In the matter of dialogue he has about all there is of value in the play, for the author's reach for cleverness went little beyond his part. There is minglement of the nations, singly represented, for the sake of color and specialty, ‘but_Cordelia O'Grady, as played by Magwie Leclair, is the only one above the commonplace. She is a real lady from Tipperary, the best T have ever seen, and it is a pity she has not more to do.
