Washington Says | Mental Slavery Degrades Humanity. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, Jan. 9. | Booker T. Washington made a day of lti in Alameda County to-day. In the after- noon the distinguished negro addressed the teachers and students at Mills Col-| lege and a number of invited guests. Dur- ing the evening he spoke before 150 peo ple at Hearst Hall, in Berkeley, the le ture being given under direction of the | Pacific Theologlcal Seminary. The lecturer's itinerary includes an ad- dress Sunday evening at the First Con- gregational Church in this city, and fol- lowing that he will talk to the colored people of Oakland at Germania Hall the same night. The students of the Univer- sity of Callifornia will hear Mr. Washing: ton Tuesday morning. Before a large gathering in Lisser Hall, ar Mills College, yesterday afternoon ' Mrs. Susan T. Mills, president of the col- lege, presented Mr. Washington. In the course of his address he told of his ob- scure birth as a slave, of the many trials that beset him during youth and early manhood, when he was undauntedly ex- erting every effort to improve himself mentally, apd of the estabiishment and progress of that great educational Institu- tior for the people of his race, the Tus- kegee Institute in Alabama, of which he | was the founder and is now the head.

The black man must be lifted up to take a place among the men of the world and the race that lifts him will be made more Christ-like through the effort.” Among the men on the platform were the following: Professor Martin Kellogg, Professor T.

When I arrived last Monday I went to the Palace Hotel and took rooms there. He sent up his card and for several days he ente | tained me royally. On Wednesday I heard th he was out of town and went to the theat with znother man. He heard about it an when we were out driving in the park Thur | day morning he upbraided me for my conduct The only one of his relatives who recognized our engagement was his_aunt, Mrs. Samuel Freedman, who lives on Post street, and wh gave us a dinner the last time I was on the coast. At the Central Emergency Hospital last night the father and brother of the wounded young man hovered over his cot, | watching every labored breath with the utmost solicitude. He was In a semi- | stupor and the approaching end appeared ipevitable. When the father was inform- ed of the statements of Miss Dixie in re- gard to his son’s infatuation with the a tress and her theory of the cause of his | death he scouted the idea. He sald: My son lived In Santa Rosa nearly | life. He was born in Petaluma and went to school in Berkeley. Outside of one trip to Portland, he has never been away from home in his life, with the exception of a few trips to San Francisco. This woman's claim that he | was engaged to her and that his death was all his due to her refection of him is utterly un- founded. Her statement that she called at our | residence Thureday or at any other time is absolutely unfounded. She says she was denied admission by a servant, when as a_matter of fact we have no servant. The questic withholding any of her lette | neither 1 nor my wite have e | of hers or heard of the woma DYING MAN MAKES DENIAL. To confirm his statements the father led the way to the cot of his dying son “Do you know a woman | Dixie?" "he asked. A feeble head answered him negatively “Were you ever engai Madg: of the named King by that name, Burton?' persisted the father A similar answer was given and the young man lay back axhi d by the effort In further conffrmation of ks statements the father pointed out that his son had been in the city only a week and that every night he had spent at home, with the exception of two, when he had gone to the theater and returned before midnight. On the Thursday m: & upon which Miss Dixie said Prince had threat ened to kill himself, both the father and brother sald he had remained In bed at the family home until after midday. Regarding her statement as to being entertained at din- { ner by Samuel Freedman, an uncle of Prince’s, Several daye ago, the father stated that he knew of no such man and neither he for his | wite had any ‘relative of that name. | In contradiction to this latter statement, Samuel Fre pan, residing at 1111 Post street sald yesterday that he was a distant relative of the Prince family and that several months agu the young man and Miss Dixle were passing the hovss and were Invited in to take dinner Neither Mr. Freedman nor the other members of his family have seen the young woman Since. He sald she appeared to be a cuitured young woman and made a good impression, but gaged to marry her. BOLDLY STEAL A PURSE AND MAKE THEIR ESCAPE A fashionably attired young woman who gave the name of Mrs. Brown and her residence as 615B Mason street was the victim of a most daring purse-snatch- ing experience Thursday evening on Ma- | 6 o'clock. While coming down Mason street and directly in front of her resi- dence she was violently shoved by three boys ranging in age from 12 to 16 years, and a purse which she carried in her hand by a chain was snatched from her. The wallet contained $15 in gold and about $ in silver. The force used in grabhing the purse caused the chaln to break and | the stiver was scattered on the sidewalk. The youthful robbers picked up about $3 and fled along Mason and down Sutter. Officer Charles Fennel was notified, but upon his arrival no trace of the culprits could be found. Mrs. Brown stated that she was unable to get a good look at the boys and consequently could not give a description of them. Inquiry at the ad- dress given elicited the information that no person by the name of Brown lived there, but Miss Jackson, daughter of An- drew Jackson, the well-known mining man, who occuples the flat, stated that she was well acquainted with the young woman who was robbed and admitted that the name given was fictitigus. Some of the neighbors state that Miss Jackson told them that her sister-in-law was the victim of the robbery, but Mr. Jackson stated emphatically last evening that he did not have a daughter-in-law.

Worry And Overwork Caused Nervous Prostration—Com= pletely Worn Out. Dr.Miles’ Nervine Cured Me. Dr. Miles’ Nervine will cure nervous pros- tration. It will bring sweet sleep and rest; it will relieve the mind of the tendency to worry; it will make the nerves st.mns:nd the patient well. It has cured thousands. It will cure you. Try it to-day. “Some years ago I was stricken with nerv- ous prostration caused by overwork and worr;. I was in such a weakened, exhausted, run down condition that I was unable to do my housework. I felt too weak and tired to even make calls on my neighbors. Fre- quently when out driving I would become so exhausted that it seemed that I would die before I reached home. [ was also troubled with sinking spells at night which left me so weak that I thought I could not live until morning. I was in this deplorable condition when one day Dr. Miles’ Nervine was brought to my notice. Ihad little faith in proprietary remedies but determined to sive the Nervine a trial. After the second dose of the Restorative Nervine I was able to sit at the table and eat a meal, something I had been unable to do for many days. I have since taken a number of bottles of Nervine. I consider myself cured. 1 am doing my own work and give Dr. Miles’ Nervine credit for my general good health.
