The featurs, perhaps, was the splendid music. Only choice selections were rendered, and the conspicuous ab- nce of ‘“ragtime” was truly pleasing. POSTUM CEREAL. Shall I Drop It? Killing Two Birds with One Stone. A man said; with one stone when I ruined stomach “I nearly killed two birds and nerves with coffee. Quit 1t? Well, I think so. I had rather be well, feel good, eat meals, sleep well and be able to do something in this world than to have all the coffee on earth.” Brain workers can get on with coffee a while, but the day comes when dyspepsia begins to show its head, then come times when the brain gets tired and has to be pushed. That's the time to look out, for it is a sure forerunner of that te;rlb‘lc / disease, Nervous Prostration and -prob- able paralysis. Coffee poison affects stomach and nerves (the brain included), and if persisted in will do its work sure as the sun is sure to rise. Medicine will not avert the final attack. There is but one thing to do. Drop it, if you show the least slgn of the poison affecting you in stomach, nerves, kidneys, bowels, eyes or heart. It is easy to change from coffee to Pos- tum Food Coffes if you insist on having Postum prepared by long boiling. That brings out the taste and food value, The Yanke Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. Wagner's ““Tannhauser’ was rendered-during “the german, adding greatly to the interest of the dance. “The Chingse Dragon’’ was the subject of the german. and included - several . new . and picturesque. figures.~ Those in the german!'carried Chinese lanterns, which served to light the hall exclusively., Serpentine effects were in- troduced. The decorations were simple, but in.ex- cellent taste, and consisted of palms and draperies of pink, white and blue, the club's colors. Miss Yosemita Ralston was the young lady chosen to lead the german. Miss Railston is a popular San Jose girl. Her tact and grace made her an especlally good leader. A. Dierssen, William C. Olsen, Miss Grace I. JEROME'S PLAGE NOT TET FILLED In speaking yesterday of the successor to the late Chief Clerk E. B. Jerome, Cus- toms Collector Stratton said that he ‘would not make any appointment at pres- ent, at least not until after the funeral. His presént intention, he said, was not to go outside the Custom-house for the new appointee, as he consigered the position filled by Clerk Jerome to be under the civil service rules, and he wished to make the appointment in such a manner that as many promotions as possible could be § made all along the line. Although the Collector declined to say anything more definite, it is understood that he will wait until he hears from Sen- ators Perkins and Bard in relation to the matter, as those gentlemen might ~wish to be consulted regarding their friends in the Custom-house, and perhaps outside of it, for the Collector said yesterday that he had been informed that any civil ser- vice position could be excluded by the Secretary of the Treasury upon proper representation being made. There are many men in the department well quali- fied by length of service and natural at~ tainments to take the vacant place, but it would require some time for them to become proficient .in the multifarious du- ties required of a chief clerk. First Dep- uty Farley, Deputy Surveyor St. John, Cgtu(n Craig, Clerk Blinn, Deputy. Naval Officer ;Maslin, Cress Unger and Cashier Perkins have becn named as eligible can- didates, but Farley and Maslin are Demo- crats of golden hue, and the party or- ganization might object to their prefer- 7ient over the heads cf Republicans who have borre the heat and burden ‘of the day and the brunt of the battle. Nothin; will be done until after the funeral, an ihen not until next week. The desk occu- Eled by Jerome is now in chlsge of Cress nger, who js discharging it8 duties sat- isfactorily and who has had an experience almost as long as that of Jerome. ELKS WILL CONDUCT E. B.

Fisher, Expert of the Baltimore Syndicate, Acquires Data. The purchase of the San Mateo, Sutter, Sutro and Market-street railways by the Baltimore syndicate has been effected. Leon O. Fisher, expert of the purchasing syndicate, is In the city and will remain here or hereabouts’ until a consolidation one management has been accomplished. Close and exact figuring may be re- quired to ascertain what representation or ratio each road will be entitled to in | the consolidated system. Mileage, equip- ment, cost and profit earning record of each road must be considered in wue | adjustment. The expert is not here to | reopen or review negotiations, but simply | to hasten the work of merging all the recently acquired street railways of San Francisco into one system. He will re- main here until the actual transfer of lbe‘ | Market-street-railroad to the syndicate is | accomplished. 1t is calculated that.this | transfer will take place early in April. It is not denied that thescapltalists and | promoters connected with the purchasing | syndicate may borrow money in New York to pay for the properties recently bought, and may even borrow money to extend certain lines and add to the en- tire system the best of modern equip- ment. Arrangements may be made with J. Pierpont Morgan, the Brown Bros. or other financial agents to negotiate for the sale of ponds issued by the syndicate. Reports come from the East that Brown Bros., well known findnciers, are supply- ing the funds. This does not signify that the Browns have or will have a controll- ing influence in the management of the system. As financial agents they will re- ceive the customary percentage tor con- verting negotiable securities into coin or currency to enable the syndicate to meet cash obligations incident to the acquisi- tion of the properties. GUGGENHEIM’S PARROT DISTURBS NEIGHBORS IMPestimony for the Defense Given in the Case of Mrs. Reeves- Atkinson. The hearing of witnesses for the defense in the case of Mrs. Reeves-Atkinson, charged with maintaining a nuisance at 1815 Sutter street in the shape of a pri- vate sanitarium, was resumed before Judge Fritz yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Clara Wadsworth, a daughter of | the defendant, testified that there never were any unusual noises, the only excep- tlon being in the case of Mrs. Alma Keith, who testified for the prosecution. The witness said that when she went into the yard the neighbors, thinking she was a | patient, would always laugh and jeer at her. The cries of “‘Amelia,” told of by a witness for the prosecution, came from a arrot in Mrs. Guggenheim’s house, ad- ?omin: the sanitarium. She denied that the Morgue wagon ever called at the san- itarfum, and said it was always quiet. One policeman had been a patlent, but she did not know his name. Dr. Himmelsbach testified that he at- ! tended Mrs. Keith at the sanitarium night | and day, and never heard any unusual noise. One time Mrs. Keith attacked him with a bottle in each hand, and he had to -apple with her to protect himself. They ell together to the floor and some attend- ants came to his assistance. Mrs. Keith always told him the defendant was the best friend she ever had. Drs. O. Mansfield and J. J. Keith also testified that they had attended patients night and day at the sanitarium and had never seen or heard anything unusual. The case will be resumed to-morrow. ——————— French Hospital Sued.

WILL NOT MOVE | FROM CITY AL Superior Judges Refuse to Obey the Board of Supervisors. There Is a serfous clash between Supe- rior Judges Cook and Dunne and the Board of Supervisors over an attempt (o | compel the former to move the criminal departments of the Superior Court to the | Hall of Justic Presiding Judge Cook appeared before the Building Committee yesterday and demanded that quarters be assigned to. him in the City Hall. The committee re- quested that Judge Cook exchange calen- dars with Judge Graham, so that each would take the other’s chambers, but this | Judge Cook refused to do. Judge Dunne appeared and expressed his_willingness to move to the Hall of Justice provided that ample accommoda- | tions are provided for him. He said that | he intended to remain in the City Hall and try all cases assigned to him despite the objections of the Supervisors. | Judge Cook sald that he proposed to the City Hall in the future. The application of Judge Cook to be | transferred from the Hall of Justice was | denied by the committee -on the ground | that the Legislature set aside the build- | ing for the trial of criminal cases by the Superior Court. The committee decided that it would only assign a courtroom to | Judge Cook if the other Superior Judge | removed ta the Hall of Justice. The committee then directed the Board of Works to immediately remove the can- opy and furniture in Judge Dunne's courtroom to the Hall of Justice and place the courtroom he now occupies in posses- sion of the public library. Judge Dunne grew highly Indignant and stalking out of the committee room said that he would see if the Supervisors could compel him to vacate his chambers. Judge Cook made a written demand that the com- mittee provide him with a suitable court- room in the City Hall even if the Hast- ings Law College would have to be re- moved to do so.
