Will Go North for Their Bridal Trip T | | | | PRETTY wedding was that of Adolph Kocour and Miss Marie Claudia Jung, solemnized last evening at St. Peter’s Church, Father Lyons officiating. It was a quiet wedding and only the relatives and immediate .friends of the contracting parties were present.

Fully eight hundred members of the Journeymen Barbers’ Union attended a meeting in the Shiels building last night and cheered the various sentiments of the | members who gained the floor and ad- dressed the assemblage. The efforts of Manuel Azevade to have his name placed on the roll as a journey- man barber precipitated a debate that lasted for several hours. He had been admitted to membership at a previous meeting, but developments proved that he had not served a sufficient length of time in mastering the art of shaving and hair- cutting to make him eligible as a journey- man. The members of the union took the stand that their rules were made for the purpose of preventing an abuse of jour- neymen barbers’ privileges and as a result the name of Mr. Azevade was dropped from the membership roll and added to the list_of apprentices. J. J. Calish presented a resolution bear- ing the signatures of 500 bosses, which provided for the raising of the price of a shate to 15 cents on all days other than Sundays and holidays. Twenty-five cents was named as the price to be charged on the last named days. The resolution further provided that the rajse in prices should go into effect Wednesday, May 1, 1901 A partial report-submitted by Secretary Currier showed that the picnic given by the union at Germania Gardens last Sun- day was decidedly successful. The salary of Secretary Less was placed at $18 per week. Stress of work was given as the reason for the increase. The members of the Barbers' Union have ever evinced an intention to attend the ball games, despite the boycott of the Buflding Trades Council, and intend con- tinuing giving their patronage. o | New Officers for Builders’ Exchange.

FREYER TELLS OF CHINESE FEMALE LIFE “The Influence and Position of Woman in China” was the subject of an interest- ing lecture delivered last night at the Academy of Sclences Hall by Dr. John | Freyer, professor of Oriental languages and literature of the University of Cali- e ber of spent a nu the 1ang of Confuelus’ and. 5’un’§:}"”n‘£ course of his remarks referred to many incidents connected with the life of a Chi- |* nese female that came under his personal observation. ““The virtues of women which are ex- tolled in Christian countries receive no recognition in China,” said Professor Freyer. “The life of a Chinese woman is one of service. She is not taught to read or write. When tutors are engaged to teach the males of well-bred families the females sometimes have a chance to acquire knowledge. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which they labor, they sometimes rise above them and in many cases rule the husband. Henpecked husbands are not so scarce in China as ;.‘h(s description would lead one to be- eve.” Speakin of the “foot-binding,” to which Chinese women of high rank are subjected, Dr. Freyer styled the custom a crying evil. The question of infanticide was also discussed by the lecturer, who said: -“The Catholic missions have great deal of good in collecting !hgg:’:ndg of female children and bringing them up in foundling asylums.” ul'I‘hel lficture was tlnrgely attended ana e lecturer was frequently i by hearty applatisa. il —————— Objects to Paying Commissions.

Dewee's wood plant of the American Sheet Steel Company at McKeesport, about half of the men are on strike to-day and the operation of the plant is badly crippled. The cause of the trouble was the recent discharge of seven men, who, the men hey were lodge of members of the newly organize: the Amalgamated Association. the local lodge yesierday afternoon and { went into effect at 1 o’clock this morning. All is quiet about the works to-day. None of the discontented workmeh are loitering about -the mill and there is no prospect of trouble. The members of the firm say that they will continue the operation of their plants and that if they are troubled by the strikers at McKeesport they will ship their material clsewhere for. manu- facture. The mill employs about 800 men { and about half of them are now out. | " The event is looked upon as momentous | | throughout the iron and steel trade of: the | country, from the fact that it is the first | conflict between organized labor and the new United States Steel Corporation and because of the anncunced intention to- day of President T. J. Shaffer, the head of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, to tle up every plant of the new combine—steel, tin, tube, structural iron, wire and all—if necessary to win the fight. .As to the chance that thc men in all the mills of the United States Steel Cor- poration will be called on to come out no one connected with the management of any of the organizei plants in the new corporation will consent to be quoted. The only underlying companies in the new corporation whose: mills ‘are entirely in- dependent of the Amalgamated Associa- tion are the Carnegie interests and the National Tube Company. The mills of the American Steel Hoop Company, the American Tin Plate Republic Iron and Steel Company are all organized, while most of those of the American’ Sheet Stecl Company and the National ‘Steel, American Steel and Wire and American Bridge plants work under the Amalgamated Association. the American ‘Steel and Wire plants are | controlled by the rod mill men.

The papers of the Colorado capital are singing the praises of the little Oakland lady, and declaring that she possesses all of the grace and charm of Alice Nielsen. This is the first that has been heard of Gussie Fugel for some time. At one time she was known wherever music was heard in Oakland. She had the finest musical education that her parents could obfain for her, and no function in the German colony was perfect without a musical number from Miss ' Fugel. Not alone | among the German population was her | talents appreciated, but she was wel- ccmed wherever she could be induced to teke part in musical entertainments. In the course of time there was an elab- orate wedding in Oakland, when Miss Gussie Fugel became Mrs. Julius Crist, the wife of one of the owners of the big tanning plant in Bast Oakland. Her hus- band’s family was wealthy and prominent and he was high in the commercial world of Oakland. But Gussle Fugel loved her music and her art more than the wealth and the po- sition of her husband, and she refused to give up her music. There was a disa- greement between the two and a separa- tion, and then Gussie Fugel resumed her DEMANDS THAT THE NEW COPYISTS BE NOT PAID Civil Service Commission Notifies Auditor That Appointments Are Unlawful. The Civil Service Commission will make a determined effort to prevent the four new copyists appointed by Recorder God- chaux from receiving any salary. At a meeting last nl%ht the commissioh pre- pared a communication to be transmitted to Auditor Wells, in which that official's attention is called to the alleged unlawful appointment of the four additional copy- {sts, ‘who werk not certified by the com- mission from the eligible "list. The round for the request is that the recent §eciston, of the Supreme. Court relates only to deputies in the so-called county of- fices. . The communication says: The majority opinion of the Supreme Court states' that the only question presented in the case is whether the city and county of San Francisco can through its Civil Service Com- Tission prescribe the qualifications of deputies of certain county officers. They alone-are in- volved and a_‘‘copylst” cannot legally or logieally be held to be a deputy. The appoint- 3 the Recorder is in violation of the civil service provisions of the charter and we ask that you decline to avudit their demands. President Freud states that should the Auditor refuse to comply with the request the Treasurer will be asked to refuse pay- ment on the ‘salary demands. If the Treasurer declines to so act the matter will be taken to court to determine if copyists are exempted from the civil ser- vice clause in the charter. When God- chaux appointed the four additional copy- ists Auditor Wells assured him that their demands would be audited by him, and, as the Treasurer -always honors demands signed by the Auditor, it looks as if the commission must seek relief in the courts. e - FOLICE FIND A SACK OF DYNAMITE IN THE STREET Dangerous Explosive Found Lying Near the Curb on a Business Thoroughfare. A common, ordinary gunny sack con- taining fifty pounds of dynamite was found close to the curbstone, mear the corner of Clay and Stockton streets, b; Sergeant James Donovan and Officer W. E. %man yesterday afternoon. ‘The sack was lifted carefully and car- ried to a spot free from traffic and pos- sible interruption. The officers then ab- stracted several pounds of the material contained in the sack and took it to the office of Caé)ta]n Seymour. The latter declared it dynamite, and on submitting it to the inspection of members of the powder firm of Bandmann & Nielson his opinion was verified. Captain Seymour then ordered the stuff thrown overboard, and the mysterious sack, together with its contents, was soon resting at the bottom of the bay. The “dynamite bag” was so placed on the street when found by the sergeant and patrolman that it was exposed to contact with truck wheels, and if such contact had occurred feafful results would have been caused to buildings and life in the neighborhood. —_— ENJOINS PAGE AND OTHERS.—Judge Gra- ham hes issued an injunction upon the petition of Allen R.

SOLDIER DROWNED WHILE BATHING AT ANGEL ISLAND Private Reed Loses His Life Despite Heroic Efforts of Comrades to_ Save Him. Private Reed of the Twenty-first In- fantry, a member of a convalescent com- pany stationed at Angel Islend, was drowned Saturday evening, despite the efforts of three gallant soldiers, who sprang into the water when they saw he was in difficulties. Reed had been watching a number of soldiers who were enjoying a swim off the wharf and determined to enjoy a dip in the bay. After the men had left the water he divested himself of his cloth- ing and plunged in. He was either un- able to swim or was very much fright- ened, for on arising to the -surface he threw his arms aimlessly about. Three soldiers, who were on the whar?, seeing that Reed was in danger of drown- ing, sprang into the water, but they were too late. Reed disappeared beneath the surface of the water and was evidently carried away by the strong undercurrent. for he was seen no more. His body has not yet been recovered. —_——— Female Shoplifter Caught.

Cowboys found him dying shortly after the shooting. Twelve shots were fired In rapld succession from behind a stone fence, and smokeless powder was The Sherif and a possé are searching the hills for the fugitives, with fair chances of overtaking them. The murder was one of the most cold- blooded and deliberate in the history of Arizona, and the prominence of the vie- tim has instilled double life into the effort to run down the fugitives. Onme theory advanced is that the ex-Sheriff's murder- ers are members of the gang of cattle rustlers and murderers who cut a wide crimindl swath through Southern Utah and Apache County two years ago, wind- ing up their carcer in that county by kill- ing two prnm;‘m citizens who were members of a pursuing party. FIGHTS DESPERATELY WITH ARMED FOOTPAD Seattle Newspaper Artist Receives Serious Injuries, but Saves His Valuables. SEATTLE, April 15—C. A. Bobbett, a Post-Intelligencer artist, had a hand-to- hand conflict with & footpad to-night, in which a bulldog revolver in the hands of his assailant and a heavy walking stick used by Bobbett to protect himself played an imporant part. The attempted robbery occurred at 10 o’clock on Madison street, directly under the bright glare of an electric arc light. Notwithstanding the fact that cable cars and pedestrians are almost continually passing the spot, the robber fought with Bobbett until the latter had punished him terribly over the head with his cane. Then the robber, realizing that his efforts were futile, dealt Bobbett two stunning blows on the head and made his escape in the darkness. “My assailant approached me from be- hind,”” said Bobbett. “He had thrust the muzzle of his revolver against my breast before I realized his object. The act was the customary com-' mand, ‘Hands up!’ I instantly seized the revolver and struck at the robb. = with my cane, He attempted to Wwr his weapon from my hand, but I coutinued to rain blows on his head. We l!rufi.’ltd for fully a minute and my assailant final- 1y wrenched the revolver from my grasp. He did not desist, however, but contin- ued to strike at me. I returned the blows with my care and I landed two on his head after his revolver was free. Finally the robber made a feint and landed two blows in quick succession on my head with the weapon. I became dazed and sank on my knees to the sidewalk. The fellow then turned and fled up Summit avenue." Bobbett_appeared in the- Post-Intelll gencer office at 11 o'clock, his clothing™ and face covered with the blood flowing from the wounds, whichjconsist of two deep gashes, one in the center of the forehead, and the other on the crown of the head. It required a dozen stitches of the surgeon’s needle to draw the flesh to- gether, Bobbett's skull was not frae- tured and his wounds, though painful, are not of a serious nature.

Bledsoe filed a suit for a recount of all the votes cast'here at the election last November for the judiclary. Bledsoe (D.) and Bennett (R.) each lled the same number of votes. Since then the incum- bent, Superior Judge Campbell, has con- tinued in office. Judge Campbell contends there is no vacancy, as no choice result- ed from the election. Other prominent members of the county bar insist that an appointment should be made, and several oyth(—m have filed petitions with Governor Gage in an effort to get the position, which is for six years and worth $4000 per an- num. It is said Governor Gage has sev- eral names under consideration for the lace. nBledaoa. in his complaint, alleges there was much illegal voting.. He claims to have ample proof that several men whose names were not on the great register cast ballots. Permission was obtained from Attorney General Ford to-day to com- mence the action.
