On his week days | “at home” his Honor wore and still wears {2 sky-blue polka dot Chinese suit, cut decollete and baggy at the knees. The clothes were built according to plans and specifications prepared by Tappar, who asserts that as a genuine luxury they far and away excel anything of their style { manufactured in this or any other coun- | try.

CHINESE CLOTHES THE BEST. “We lead the Chinese in many ways, but in point of solid comfort I for one know that the clothes they wear are su- perior to our ordinary costume,” said PLAN TO ABOLISH - SULPRURIC FUME San Francisco Mint Nui- sance to Be Abated Soon. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Breadway, Nov. 8. The dense white and yellow sulphuric acid smoke, carrying fumes which have for years been a great nuisance in the neighborhood of the United States Mint in San Francisco and have caused much | injury to the structure itself, will be con- quered. Under direction of Frank A. Leach, superintendent of the Mint, a con- densation process will shortly be installed: in the refining department which will dis- sipate the obnoxious fumes and by filter- ing kill the nuisance. | Superintendent Leach gave a de- scription to-night at the annual meet- ing at the City Hall of the Alameda Coun- | ty Miners' Association of this process and of other improvements which will be in- troduced Into the Mint as the result of his recent trip East on an investigating tour of the Government mints and assay offices. An important change which will be made is the substitution of gas for coke in the annealing and other furnaces used in the melting and refining processes. Electricity is to be substituted for steam as motive power wherever it can be made avallable. Besides the interesting paper by Super- intendent Leach, E. H. Benjamin gave an entertaining account of the work he is doing in handling of ore by the cyanide process at the Helena Gold Mining Com- pany’s plant in Siskiyou County and at the Golden Eagle mine at Hayden Hill, Lassen County. Mr. Benjamin explained the method by which the ore is treated by cyanide direct from the mine without fine crushing. The results, he said, were entirely satisfactory, from 88 to 90 per cent of the assay value being recovered. By resolution, the association decided CITY JUSTICE-ELECT OF ALAME- DA AS HE APPEARS IN HIS FA- MOUS PINK PAJAMAS. Judge Tappan. “Any one who has ever got out of a rigid everyday suit and into a suit of pajamas knows that the sensa- tion is soothing and causes a man to feel as if he has escaped from a straitjacket. You do not have to bend your knees just 0 in order to prevent pulling the creases in your pantaloons lopsided. You have 1o collar with a knife or saw edge work- ing your decapitation. There are no sus- perider guy lines hauling your spinal col- vmn out of plumb. There is no little col- lar button to bore a hole in the back of your neck, or castiron shirt front to pre- vent you from stooping naturally. If there is anything more bracing or sani- tary than a suit of pajamas and two lvngs full of Alameda climate I have not discovered them yet, and I have resided here since my birth.” JUDGE IS A SINOLOGUE. Judge Tappan is a deep student of the Chinese language, and enjoys to converss with natives of the Flowery Kingdom. His knowledge of the Asiatic tongue served him in good stead during his campaign. He would deliver a stump speech to a erowd of eager and curious Caucasians in Chinese and then translate his speech into English. This always Insured the strictest attention of his audience. Another innovation in local political campaigning that Tappan inaugurated was to board all of the early trains to the piers, pass from car to car and make a brief talk in each car. Judge Tappan also offered prizes to the school children who guessed the num- ber of votes that he received or the near- est to the total. Sunday, November 9, Judge Tappan will be the host at a big clambake to be held on Bay Farm Island. He has invited all who voted for him and all who cast thelr ballots for 'the other fellow to join in the feast of the succulent bivalves and forget the strenuous days prior to the election. | that all members in good standing would be entitled to seats in the approaching State miners' convention which will . be held at Golden Gate Hall, San Francisco, on November 17, 18 and 19.

Because of a battle between rival han- dlers of nickel-in-the-slot machines a cru- sade was begun in Oakland against the money-paying devices, which resulted to- day in the arrest of seventy saloon-keep- ers of this city in whose establishments the slot machines have been in operation. Arthur B. Blunt, residing at 315 Ellis street, San Francisco, is the mover in the attack on the machines, and he is aided by C. M. Arnold, who gives his res- idence as the same place. The pair ap- peared a few days before the election at District Attorney Allen’s office and de- manded warrants of arrest against a long list of saloon men, who, they said, were operating the machines in violation of State law. The request was taken under advisement until to-day, when the county law officers, after examining the evidence the applicants presented to them, decided to issue the warrants. As soon as the warrants were made out the police began to serve them. Police Judge Smith fixed bail at $100, and the saloon men kept the department busy all day surrendering themselves as rapidly as they were noti- fled of the warrants. Deputy District Attorney George Sam- uels, who had charge of the cases, says he made a careful inquiry into the appli- cations before he consented to draw the complaints. He says Blunt and Arnold claimed to be working on a purely “pro bono publico” basis. “Blunt said that the money machines had been driven t of San Francisco,” explained Samuels,” “and that he saw no reason why they should continue in Oak- land. I was a little doubtful about the motives which impelled these gentlemen to make this crusade for the gcod of the people, but they went about it in a thor- ough and systematic manner. With each saloon man's name they furnished the name of the machine, its registered num- ber and every detail about when it had been played and with what result. There was nothing to be done but to iSsue the warrants, no matter what was behind At The saloon-keepers scoff at Blunt's ex- planation of his reasons for causing their arrest, and say that it is simply business rivalry and the result of a row bgtween two sets of machine men in San Fran- cisco. Charles Kohl, a saloon man, saild: “The Novelty company and Blunt's people had a battle over 200 machines that were sent to China. The Novelty people won and the others are getting even.” That the raid will prove effective the police feel positive. There was a convic- tion in the Police Court two years ago of a saloon man who had a money-paying machine in operation. No appeal was taken, and the decision in that case stands as a precedent for the seventy cases which will be before the court on Monday. L e e e e e WOMAN DRINKS CARBOLIC AGID Because of Ill Health She Attempts to End Life. A T ALAMEDA, Nov. 8.—Despondent be- cause of continued ill health, Miss Mary Mitckell attempted to end her life this afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Martha Smith, 2252 Central avenue, by swallow- ing the contents of a phial of carbol'c acid. An'emetic administered immediate- ly nevtralized in part the effects of the deadly potion, but the woman’'s recovery is not expected by the attending physi- clans. Miss Mitchell, who is about 40 years of age, has been in poor health for several years. She brooded over her aflment and, friends say, threatened on more than onc occasion to terminate her sufferings. This afternoon, while in a hall in the Smith home, where she lived, she drank the car- bolic acid. She then opened the door of a rcom occupied by Miss Laura Field and threw the bottle that had held the pois- onous liquid upon the floor of the apart- ment. Miss Field noticed the stains of the flery acid on Miss Mitchell’s lips and surmising instantly what the latter had dcne, prepared and gave Miss Mitchell an emetic. Dr. Mary D. Fletcher and Dr. G. P. Reynolds were summoned. Miss Mitch- ell suffered terrible agonies for an hour and then lapsed into unconsciousness. GROWERS APPEAL FOR AGISTANGE Cry From San Benito for Aid of Agr.cultural 7 Experts, BERKELEY, Nov. 8.—Owing to the ex- tended reputation which the agricultural department has acquired throughout the State as the result of the successful fight against fruit pests carried on during the last year under its supervision, many ap- peals for assistance from its scientists are being received from orchardists through- out the fruit districts. The latest cry for aid was received to-day from Watsonville and Pajaro Valley orchards, where the ravages of the codlin moth have wrought havoc to the apple crops. This insect, the larva of which is the destructive apple worm, has brought dis- aster fo the frult raisers of San Benito County to the extent of $50,000 during the last year. All poisonous sprays have been ineffectual and the appeal has been made to the agricultural department that an entomologist be sent down to study con- ditions and advise an effectual method for destroying the pest. % Eureka, or 457 Ninth street, Oakland, Cal. | Very recently the department sent War- CONCERT FOR BENEFIT OF MRS. BLAKE ALVERSON of Oakland to Show Esteem for Aged and Crippled Singer Who So - Often Lent Her Voice in Aid of Charity = . | | O — . - AKLAND, Nov. 8.—To show their esteem and - sympathy for Mrs. Blake Alverson, the aged and now crippled singer, the ladles of Oakland are planning a testimo- nial concert, to take place at the Mac- donough Theater Thursday evening, No- vember 20. Not for many a day has a cause been so enthusiastically adopted by people on both sides of the bay. For more than a quarter of a century Mrs. Alverson has been prominent in mu- sical circles, both here and in San Fran- cisco, and her beautiful voice has been heard again and again in the cause of charity. About a year ago while alight- ing from a street car in this city she was unaccountably thrown to the ground with such force as to break the thighbone, which crippled her for life. Many of the most prominent soclety women in town are patronesses of the approaching concert, as well as a large number of the best known musicians here and in San Francisco. The Ebell and Cakland clubs and the local lodges of Masons and Elks are also interested in its success. A programme of unusual excellence has been arranged. Mrs. E. J. Cotton, Mrs. Fred B. Dallam, Mrs. George C. Borne- mann and, Mrs. E. A. Kluegel are on ths committee of arrangements, and the Mac- donough stage will be prettily decorated under the supervision of Mrs. A. Lowndes Scott.

BULLET FAILS T0 PENETRATE Despeondent Country Boy Tries to Take His Own Life, B e Leaves an Indiana Farm to Face World and Meets Hard Luck. bt s Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 8 Without money or friends and hungry and footsore, a young man who gave his name as Albert Owens tried to kill him- self with a pistol last night and was ar- rested. The young man was found in Jefferson Park near the corner of Jefferson and Sixth streets to-night by Patrolman Wal- ters, who was attracted to where he was by a pistol shot. Owens had an old pis- tol, and in his desperation he placed it over his heart and tried to commit sui- cide. Twice the pistol refused to be dis- charged and the third time, almost as if the weapon did not want to be a party to the crime, the bullet only penetrated the clothing and just broke the skin over the heart. Owens, which is believed to be a false name, is about 2 years of age, evidently a country lad, and well appearing. He is well dressed, but did not have a cent in his pockets. He told an unusual hard luck story about having come from an Indiana farm to the great West to seek his fortune. He lost his money and nerve and then tried to commit suicide. His story is belleved to be true, except as to names. Furniture sale dafly from 9 a. m. during this week at H.
