SRt Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, | 1118 Broadway, Feb. 2. | Miss Dora Mendelson, who figured in a complaint lodged with the police by Mrs. Mary A. Johnston against her husband, Willlam Johnston, a sailor, has made an explanation of her relations with John- ston, and declares that the aggrieved wite's charges are without foundation. In her statement Miss Mendelson says: When my family were living in Berkeley four years ago, George Richards brought Wil- lam Johnston to our house and introduced him 0 us. He told us that he was a married man at the time; that his folks were in England, and that he intended sending for them. I was but 16 yvears of age then. It was about Christmas time and he brought me some little present of trifiing value. Short- |1y after that he disappeared and I have not | seen him since. He went back to Alaska, I think. He gave ma the Christmas present just as any man might give a young girl a present who had pleased him by her singing. He heard me sing often, for I had a fine volce at_that time. Last summer his wife came to our home at 557 Seventh street and asked if I had ever re- ceived presents from her husband. I denied ever having received any presents from John- ston, having forgotten the trifling Christmas Bift of four years ago. Mrs. Johnston was jolly at the time and danced and sang in my father's tallor shop. She opened the bosom of her dress and took out a check for $75, which | she safd her husband had sent for her, and alsy | come up to Alaska with the children. |~ Mrs. Johnston seemed entirely satisfled with | my denials and asked my mother and myselt | to call on her. We have not seen her since 1 have never seen Johnston since the time in Berkeley four years ago, and I never saw him then except fd the presence of my father and mother.

BERKELEY, Feb. 25.—Mrs. Annie Mel- | rose and a woman companion, both of | | West Berkeley, were returning from Point | | Richmond this afternoon in a buggy when the horse they were driving became frightened and ran away. Both women lost their presence of mind and did noth- | ing to stop the frantic endeavors of the horse, which wa every step. At University and San Pablo avenues the animal swerved when a bg- stander made an attempt to head it off and the panic-stricken travelers were thrown out. Mrs. Melrose recelved severe injuries | on the face, consisting of -a lacerated eye- | 1id and a broken jawbone, while her com- | panfon escaped without a scratch. Dr. | H. N. Rowell gave temporary treatment | | to Mrs. Melrose, after which she was re- | moved to the Receiving Hospital in Oak- | 1and, where the broken jawbone was set. The runaway horse was captured after a | long run. | } R e S o REPUBLICANS ACTIVE IN ! THEIR CLUB MEETINGS | Fifth Warders Hold a Smoker This | Evening—Swedish-Americans to Hear Nominees.

HUNT BROTHERY GASE 15 ENDED Lose Suit Institut’ed Against the Water Company. i i Oakland Office San Franci 1118 Broadway, Feb. 26. Judge Ogden dismissed the suit to-day that Hunt Bros. and twenty-four insur- ! ance companies brought against the San Leandro Water Company a year ago for $124,496 damages for the loss of the can- nery that the firm was running at San Leandro. The case was dismissed on the motion of attorneys for the defendant company on the ground that the plaintiffs had failed to file an amended complaint after the original compiaint had been found de- fective. On the face of it it looks as If Hunt Bros. and the insurance com- panies had been caught off their guard, the penalty for which is the loss of the suit. It may be, however, that the litigants effected a compromise by which each side was satisfled, though no one could be found to-day who would say that such was the case. The suit was begun the Hunt Bros.' cannery April 12, 191. The piaintiffs charged that the water company had neglected to put in a fire hydrant near the cannery, even after many urgings. When the pilant caught fire there was no water, and noth- which it did, some time after causing a total loss. THE CHEAP HANDY MAN OF NEW YORK CITY Traveling Workman Who Does Any Kind of Labor for Very Small Fee. No woman, no matter low poor she may be, who lives within the confines of a | certain territory on the upper West Side in New York Cits in her household duties any more—that is. provided the present state of things the section continues. her aid a man-of-ali-work, who will per- form any service she requires, and all she will have to pay is one penny. There is a youth just verging on man- hood who patrols the section every morn- ing regularly, going into the yards and | calling out at he wiil cent.” The territory covered by this strange character extends from Seven: cond street to One Hundred and Tenth streec and from Central Park west to the Nort River. Sometimes he goes a little above or below this section, but usually he con- himself to these limits. He was first noticed a little more than a month ago, and since that time he has not failed to appear on any day except Sunday. He goes into the yards of flat houscs, the janitors seldom making any objection, and loudly bawls a list of things he will do for a cent. Here are a few of them: Takes the clothes cn the roof. Blackens stoves, Carry coal from cellar. Beat carpets. Clean rugs. Wash windows. Make the beds. ‘Wash the dishes. ‘Wash the dog. Clean beds of bugs. Scrub the floor. Chop wood. T will do anything at ail,” he goes on, “for one penny.” The youth is apparently in earnest, and when any one, taking compassion on him, throws out a coin he will Invariably ask, “Do you want any work done?" He seems loth to take the money with- the top of his voice that “do any Kind of work for one - out giving its equivalent in work, thus| exploding the theory that some formed | at first that he was merely playing upon their sympathies. Some availed them- selves of his services out of compassion at first, but they have found that he does his work well, and now they do not see how they could get along without him. Many housewives in flats who do not keep a servant find this youth exceeding- 1y useful. They get the hardest part of their work done quickly and cheaply and do not have to contend with many an- noyances conseguent on keeping a girl in a small flat. Most persons who employ the youth give him more than a penny, but he does not seem to expect any more. —New York Times. —————————— Late Shipping Intelligence. ~ SAILED. Thuraday, February 26.
