These men had an option to purchase the mines at Gold Run for eight months and the Gold Run Syndicate bought them. Then they were thrown by them on the London publlz under th ne of the Gold Run Gravels (limited). Redding had nothing to do with this latter transfer. He was simply the vendor in the f instance, selling his interests outright to the syndicate. “Now, how they brought Wiltsee and elf into the case I do not know.

Philip H. Remillard, prominent in Oak- land business, ocial and political circles, fell shortly after midnight this morning | from the second-story window of the building occupied by the Delmonico res- taurant and sustained injuries that may | prove fatal. Mr. Remillard was dining | with a party of friends. The room be- | came a trifle clese and he stepped to the | window to secure a-little fresh air. | Throwing up the lower sash he stepped |out on to the fire escape. It was very | dark, and Mr. Remillard did not notice that in the center of the platform sur- rounding the cnd of the ladder was a | large opening, which he stepped into.

P. H. Remillard is one of the most pop- ular clubmen of Oazkland. He is a mam- ber of the Republican Alliance, Athenian | Club and the Reliance Atheltic Club.

She has pledged herself to give the boys the “go-by”* and has set down her resoiu- tion in a serfes of cast iron rules that form the code and by-laws of the Girls’ High School Reform League. The president of the league is Mrs. Pray, senlor teacher and founder of tha anti-flirtation organization. Mrs. Pray Js the oldest teacher connected with the Girls’ High School and by long odds its most enthusiastic supporter and ardent admirer. According to Mrs. Pray there are no Sweeter, pfettier or brighter girls than the fair Misses of the Girls' High School It is not strange, therefore, to relate that ‘when the teacher heard come few days ago a number of boys boastingly declare that there was nothing easier than to win a G. H. S. girl she dec:ded then and thero IOTDUK them out of business. he enthusiastic teacher experienced no difficuity In organizing her anti-flirtation club. Every senfor girl put her name lown on the membership list and pledge-l herself not only to abstain from flirtatior but to save other maidens from flirta- tion's paths. The method to be employed by the re- formers is charmingiy simple and wi doubtless prove effective. If a reformer chances to see a sister student engaged in the subtle art she is supposed to at once take-her in hand ard warn her of the possible danger of flirtation. She is to reason with her and., above all. im- gress upon her the superiority of a G. 1T u‘om all the combined mascullne popula- n. But her finest work is to como when esples a youth wearing a G. H. S. From that youth she must coax the namec of the owner and then go to the girl ani see that she gets that pin back. Up to the present the roformers have had no serious dutles to perform. There have been no flirting girls. and if thers are any boys with G. H. S. pins they have managed to keep them out of sight. Nevertheless, the reform league is in working order and ready to respond at the very first call of duty. ‘my brother, boys; come, shake i him. readily did, and accepting his n to visit the nearest saloon they lowing day both brothers boarded mer Santa Rosa and came to this iving here last Thursday. the two men were around eadquarters telling the strange how they became reunited. has some mining claims in New and when he returns he intends sfiloefeeieieleil @ Y 1§ PAID eral Appraisers. the Treasury Department argo of several thousand bags of sugar has reached New York and the case before the Secretary be levied upon sugar imported Department to-day.
