A minister’s wife had quite a tussle with coffee and her experience is interesting. She says: “During the two years of my training as a nurse while on night duty I became ad- dicted to coffee drinking, for between midnight and four in_ the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that 1 should want a good, hot cup of coffee about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. “After three or four years of coffee drinkin% I became a nervous wreck and thought simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent bilious attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. After being married, husband begged me to leave off coffee, for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort and release myself from the hurtful habit. I began takin Postum Food Coffee and for a few days felt the languid, tire feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. “Finally I began to feel clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel like a new woman. Have not had any bilious attacks since I left off coffee.” This lady requests that her name be kept from public print.

AKLAND, May 20.—After a lapse of more than a year the hospita- ble home of the Kennas, in East Oakland, was thrown open to-day to their friends, when Mrs. Kenna announced the engagement of her daugh- ter Isabelle to Irving Burreil. Over 100 guests were present, who promptly over- whelmed the blushing bride-elect with congratulatigns. Mr. Burrell and Miss Kenna are mem- bers of two old and highly esteemed fam- files of this city and few young people can boast =0 large a circle of sincere, ad- | miring friends as they.

Burrel] and is as- £ociated in business with his father, who is one of the most successful contractors and bridge builders in the State. No date has been set for the wedding, but it wiil probably take place before the end of the year. The large card party, during the progress of which the announcement was made public to-day, was a most brilliant event. The entire lower floor of the resi- dence was almost like one room, the large folding doors being thrown back and revealing a delightful vista of charm- ing women fn beautiful gowns. A profu- sion of roses and graceful ferns in great bowls gave a finishing touch to the scene. Five-handed euchre was the game for the afternoon and prizes were awarded to Miss Lucretia Burnham, Mrs. Lucie May Hayes, Miss Marion Smith and Miss Ruth Kales. Miss Kenna, the bride-elect, was attired in a most becoming gown of white lace and carried a great cluster of white roses, while her sister, Miss Ada Kenna, was equally charming in a pretty pink gown, her bouquet being of buds.

The question of the valldity of the trust clause in the will of the late James Stan- ton was argued and submitted in Judge Troutt's court yesterday. Attorney C. S. Wheeler represented Mary Barron, Stan- ton's daughter, plaintiff in the suit, to de- clare the trust null and void and Attor- ney J. R. Aitken argued on behalf of the defendants, the four brothers and sisters of Mrs. Barron. Stanton’s will provides that his proper- ty shall be held in trust for his children and that upon their death the trust shall be continued for the benefit of their.chil- dren, thus shutting off his children with only a life interest In the estate. The suit brought to determine the validity of the clavse is a friendly action, the de- fendants being as desirous of upsetting the will as Mrs. Barron. —_———— Richard Cornelius Returns.

B s s Oakland Office San Francisco Call, . 1113 Broadway, May 20. | TForty laborers employed on the subway | under construction beneath the Southern | Pactfic tracks at Emeryville for the new ferry system have gone on strike because of the lockout for track laborers by the Oakland Transit Consolidated. The men who have walked out are mem- | bers of the Laborers’ Unton, which had prepared demands for an increase of wages that were to be submitted to the | Transit people subsequent to the time the company suspended operations. Other than that the strike at the subway and a walk-out of laborers at the Red Rock quarry, controlied by the Oakland Tri sit Consolidated, there has been no change 1 in the situation. Non-union laborers are being employed by the street car company in small num- bers. The raiiroad officfals maintain the | position that their scale of $2 a day for laborers is higher than that pald by any other railway company, and therefore 1 | they canmnot see the justice of increasing | it to 32 50 a day as demanded by the men, until, at least, all of the other large em- | ployers of laborers come to the same | | schedute. | Meanwhile the union is holding daily meetings, but has formulated no further | plan of action than that of persisting in its demands. | Members of the Butchers' Union have under discussion the formulation of a new schedule calling for higher wages, which will shortly be presented to the em- ployers. —_———— BANDITS TAKE COIN FROM THE PASSENGERS Three Masked Highwaymen Obtain Abundant Money in Portland Electric Car. PORTLAND, Or., May 20.—A crowded electric car on the Vancouver line of the Portland Railway was held up at 11 o'clock to-night by three masked men near Woodlawn, a suburb about three miles from the center of this city. The robbers did not display any weap- ons, but deliberately went through the car, securing about $175 in money and a considerable amount of jewelry. They first took $25 and a watch from the con- ductor and then went into the car and compelled the passengers to hand over their money and valuables. Several la- dies were made to take the rings off their fingers and pass them up to the highway- men. After they had secured the booty the robbers left the car and disappeared in the brush east of the city. The police were notified of the robbery fifteen min- utes after it occurred and detectives were sent to look for the highwaymen. —_————— FIGHT BETWEEN BROTHERS ENDS IN FATAL SHOOTING Fratricide Claims That He Fired the Shots in Defense of His Own Life.

It is claimed that he acted In self-defense. “General” Turner has been in jail for some time and Lee Turner refused to bail him out.
