ATTRACTIVE WOMEN There is no beauty withi- out perfect health. Pain and suffering mar the face. Sallow skins, hollow, ex- pressjonless eyes and ema- ciated forms make women unlovely and in some cases actually repulsive. A healthy woman has an at- traction about her that draws one as the magnet does the steel. She is light-hearted, gay and has a dash and verve about her that the woman suf- fering from deranged generative organs lacks. Such @ condition gives place to headaches, backaches, falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, al menstruation, ovarian pains, etc., ren- dering her life a living torture and making her old and gray before her time. Kemp's Suppositories, » mild and soothing Jocal t ment containing no oplates, will counteract that dull, tired feeling by strength- ening the weak parts and enabling the organs to throw off all unnatural secretions and waste matter, thus establishing a €004 healthy cir- culation which imparts new life to the whole Evstem and shows restored heaith in additional fiesh, renewed strength and exuberant spirits.

His ten- dency toward lunacy was not noticed un- til he was about to shave Alexander Mc- Kenzle, & miner, who had seated himself in Wainko's tonsorial chair. As Wainko flourished a razor above his customer’s head he shouted: “Don’t you think you are crazy? I am. My head grew twelve inches last night.” McKenzie, in momentary danger of having his windpipe severed, retained his presence of mind. He put the mad- man off his guard by asking several gquestions regarding his-head and how it felt to be crazy. When the opportunity permitted he rushed to the door, which he found had been locked. He then Jeaped through a window and ran down the street. ‘Wainko followed McKenzie, and sav- agely assaulted George Pickard, a tele- graph operator, who was standing out- gide. When arrested later Wainko was found to be suffering from the delusion that the entire town was trying to rob him of his sweetheart, whom he de- scribed as the most beautiful woman in the world. — Mrs. Church—Has your husband done Gothan— Oh, yes; he has always refrained from. calling men names.—Yonkers Statesman. = % YOUNG WOMAN WHO WILL RE- NOUNCE FOREFATHERS' RE- LIGION TO WED MAN SHE LOVES. o+ at the christening of the bride, read the nup- tial service.

Wilkinson Is Crushed to Death at Elmira, Mangled Body Is Discovered on the Railroad Track by the Crew. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, Aug. 19. His ambition to reach a higher position in the Southern Pacific Company’s train service has cost George A. Wilkinson, a young brakeman, his life. Had he not been killed by a train last night at Blmira, Wilkinsoa wculd have within sixty days realized the second step toward promotion, which he had long sought. It was with a desire to put himself in line for more rapid advancement that Wiikinson transferred from the passen- ger service, in which he had been for sev- eral years as a brakemen. He went into the freight department, with an assur- ance that he would be appointed a con- ductor very soon. He expected to finally land back in the. passenger service as a condector much sooner than if he had continued as a passenger brakeman, Where promotion would be slower and less apt to reach him. Wilkinson left yesterday afternoon on his run on a freight train, which arrived at Elmira to meet the west bound pas- senger overland train No. 6. It was while he was working at the siding to czear the main line for the passenger train that he was struck and instantly killed, his bocy being badly mangled. ‘Wilkinson's train crew knew nothing about the accident until an hour Jater, when the dead trainman was missed. An engine was sent back to Elmira, and the searchers found the body on the tracks. The nature of the injuries shows that death must have been instantaneous, Relatives in Oakland were notified of the occurrence. Wilkinson resided in this city all his life and had been in the railroad service since he was 17 years old. At the time of his death he w S years old. His home was at 1763 Grove street, where his bereaved wife and a child 3 years old are left. Other relatives are Mrs. J. J. Medros of this city, wife of Dr. J. J. Medros, and Mrs. C. Stockham of Omaha, both sisters. Wilkinson was a member of the Erotherhood of Railway Trainmen and of the Knights of Pythias. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. Alameda C;unty.

W. C. AA. WHO WERE PROMINENT AT THE RECEPTION TENDERED YESTERDAY IN STILES HALL TO THE WOMEN OF THE INCOMING FRESHMAN CLASS. | | EX ERKELEY, Aug. 19.—Dressed in Chinese garb and serving tea in the glow of Chinese lanterns, the ladies of the Y. W. C. A. enter- tained the women of the incom- ing freshman class this afternoon in the parlors of Stiles Hall. The surroundings had all been transformed into a tea house and the spirit of the whole affair was strictly Oriental. The novel idea is due to the ladies of the assoclation who attended the meeting of the Y. W. €. A. at Capitola this summer, where a similar affair was given. Miss May Walker, Miss Mabel Gaines, Miss Edna Newbert and Miss Maud Lovejoy acted as Chinese ladies, Miss Lovejoy laying the part of hostess. pD{lrigg the afternoon, several of the STUDENT JORES CAUSE TROUBLE Five University Men Are Summoned Before Faculty. BERKELEY, Aug. 19.—For participa- tion in the time-honored joke of measur- ing raw freshmen for thefr military uni- forms, five young men of the University of California are up before the college fac- ulty. Alviso Mini, James Koford, Lewis Haas, Willlam Woods and Earl Anthony, who were taken red-handed in the act of hazing the unsuspecting freshmen yester- day, were summoned before the commit- tee on students’ affairs this morning and given an opportunity to state reasons why they should not suffer the penalty for disturbing the order of the coliege. Though the decision of the committee has not vet been published, it is under- stood that the attitude of the members of it Professors Cory, Setchell and Babcock, is strongly against the rupture of the spir- it of the college law relating to disturb- ances between the two lower classes. It is the opinion of the committee that al- though there is no definite law against the erpetration of joshes on freshmen, the practice has gone to such lengths that Vigorous measures to abolish it must be ken. “’Tfiglpranks which have come under the ban of the faculty consist in false exam- inations given by the practical jokers to the green members of the entering class, and the fictitious measurements which are taken of them for their military uni- forms by students dressed to repre- sent officers in authority. The 8tu- dents who have come up before the faculty maintain that they have broken no law and that they were merely doing what students have done before them for years. Peddlers as Burglars. ‘Edward Ordway and Milton Eber were held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Conlan yesterday on two charges of burglary.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 19. The scavengers have returned to work. Oakland's garbage blockade, which has been in force for eleven days, was broken to-day, and a sigh of relief was heard throughout the city. As rapidly as possible the accumulated refuse will be hauled away. The Board of Health has placed in service a large scow, by which the debris collections will be carried to low lands on Bay Farm Isl- and and there deposited. This will be the programme for operations for thirty days. It is expected that before the month -elapses the authorities will have found a solution to the garbage problem. Either private capital will be evoked to build a modern crematory for the dis- posal of the refuse, or convenient dump- ing grounds will be secured. In order to test the legality of the ordi- nance which prohibits dumping of ga Lage within the city limits, Attorneys George W. Reed and Clinton G. Dodge have sued out a writ of habeas corpus in the Superior Court in behalf of one of the recently arrested scavengers. Superior Juage Melvin will hear the writ on Sat- urday. If the ordinance be declared void, {mmediate steps will be taken to perma- nently provide for a modern method of destroying the garbage. The lawyers representing the Scavengers declare that the ordinance as it now stands would not cnly prevent dumping of garbage, but would interfere with any plan for getting rid of the stuff. They claim that al- though the city enforces a license upon the scavengers, they are inhibited from carrying on their odorous but highly nec- essary occupation. B Mrs. Marsh Escapes Prosecution. When the case of Mrs. Irene Marsh, charged with assault to murder for shoot- ing Miss Alice Murray at the entrance of the Alhambra Theater, was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday Miss Murray took the stand and said she had no desire to prosecute and would posi- tively refuse to swear to a complaint. Detective Whittaker said that he could not get any other person to swear to a complaint and the Judge dismissed the case. The shooting was the result of jealousy. Mrs. Marsh alleged that Miss urray had alienated her husband’s af- fections from her. Marsh is proprietor of the Lafayette saloon in Sacramento and of the cigar stand in front of the Cafe Royal in this city. | be broken PETTY THIEVES OF TENDER AGE Juvenile Offenders Give Police no End of Trouble. Steal Bicycles Galors and Youth Prevents Ade- quate Punishment. G Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 19. In an effort to get at thé bottom of an unusual lot of bicycle stealing, the police have rounded up a batch of boys, whose ages range from 10 to 16 years. These juventle offenders, eight in number, are only saved by their youth from being charged with the serious crime of grand larceny, for such is the grade estabiished by law for the theft of a bicycle. As a result of the numerous round-ups of these youthful miscreants, the police have recovered a dozen bicycles that have been stolen during the past few days. The boys have been brought to jail in three sections. Ir the first lot were Harry Hawkins, colored, and George Lohr and Samuel Happ. Hawkins is 15 years old. His Companions are several years his junior. The younger boys have been sent home to their parents. Hawkins was before Su- perfor Judge Melvin to-day, and was saved from commitment to a State re- tormatory by the intercession of Bishop arnett of the Afro-Methodist Episcopal Church. The clergyman said he would take the boy to the Booker T. Washing- ton Juvenile School in Georgia. His Honor permitted that dispesition of the case. Tony Miller, 11 years old; Louis John- son, 13 years of age, and Manuel Silva, 16 years old, were in the second round- up. They are still held in jail for stealing wheels. The last two who were taken in charge are Fred Ash and Tony Soares, also youthful purloiners of bicycles. The policeé are searching for one more young- ster, Ernest Holloway. “It is the most difficult problem we have to meet, said Chief of Police Hodg- kins to-day. ‘“These thefts are very an~ noying, but the youth of the thieves most precludes us from administering the proper punishment. You cannot send 10- year-old boys to a penitentiary, and they are almost too young to be sent to a re- formatory. I must confess I hardly know what to do with them.” NEW COLUMBARIUM FOR THE OAKLAND CREMATORY Contract for Construction of an Edi- fice for Ashes of the Dead Is Recorded.
