Cowell, Weary of Loneliness, Sues for a Di- vorce From H. C. B. Cowell - Queer indeed has been the method of living adopted by Clara D. Cowell, aged 60, and Henry C. B. Cowell, her husband, aged 46. They kave been hus- band and wife for eleven years. eight years they lived happily together in Oakland and a little boy was born to them. Then they moved to this city and took up their residence in the Western Addition, in a home erected by Cowell. But, for some reason un- { known to Mrs. Cowell, they did not | live together. Mrs. Cowell and her lit- the house and the husband and father lived in the lower portion. For three years they lived thus, seeing each other daily, but meeting as strangers. Mrs. Cowell made repeated attempts at a | reconciliation, but Cowell repulsed all | her advances, and finally she deter- mined to sue for a divorce. She filed the action charging her husband with desertion. He was served with a summons, but refused to | answer, and yesterday, when the case | came up in Judge Graham's court, his | default was entered. Mrs. Cowell was | sranted an interlocutory decree, her | evidence and the evidence of a neigh- | bor proving that Cowell, though re- siding in the same house as his wife, was to her no more than a stranger. | The property rights of the couple were | settled by stipulation. Judge Seawell granted Charles Rey- nolds a divorce from Mary E. Reynolds on the ground of technical desertion. They also, like the Cowells, lived jn the same house, but not as husband and wife. According to the testimony, the fault lay with Mrs. Reynolds. Rey- | nolds and Adela Mulford furnished the testimony on which the decree was | granted. They both refused. to take an oath, telling the court they preferred to | fiirm. The Reynoldses were married | twentyMhree years ago in Indiana. Interlocutory decrees of divorce for cruelty were granted to John H. Paton from Josephine W. Paton, Mary E. Robinson from William Robinson and Frank P. Mus Mussios six months ago. | Suits for divorce were filed by Millie | Randhahn against Richard Randhahn for cruelty, and Isabella Williams against Richard Williams for deser- tion. Emolyne Cordelia Halliday, who | was married to John D. Halliday at Redding in 1899, is seeking a divorce on the ground ‘of desertion, charging that Halliday left her in July, 1900. ————————— | SILK CULTURE INDUSTRY | MAY BE TRIED AT ASTI | | Sbarboro Tells Government Entomolo- gist That Capital Is Ready if Skilled Labor Can Be Obtained. | Andrea Sbarboro, president of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation of California, is conferring with C. F. Marlette of .the United "States Department of Agriculture rela- tive to the establishment of a colony of silk workers on the property of the | Swiss-Italian Colony at Asti, Sonoma | County, for the purpose of engaging in { the production of silk in California on {a large scale. Mr. Marlette has re- cently been investigating the possibili- ties of silk culture in San Diego ; County. Mr. Marlette says he has been as- | sured by two prominent men that they {will help to get the nucleus of the | industry together. One of these is A. | Sbarboro, who has said that the suc- cess of the Asti colony would enable him to get all the capital that is need- ed for the si}k»growing proposition. Mr. Marlette ‘says also that he has the case was referred to the present|great faith in the success of the trial. | given the title of professor. Dr. Emer- | Grand Jury for reindictment.

The silk and grape seasons are different. The Secretary of Agriculture and also Dr. | Howard of the department are inter- ested in the matter. Mr. Marlette will see whether the officers of immigration will oppose the bringing in of a small colony of silk workers from Northern Italy. Only a | few months in the year is devoted to | silk culture. Women, children and other laborers are engaged in the in- | dustry in Italy. The starting point is to get the skilled labor from there, so Mr. Marlette says, to give the new in- | dustry a fair start. ¢ e Civil Service Examinations. The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that the eximina- tion for clerk (female) skilled in type- writing and cataloguing, scheduled to be held on November 11 and 12, was postponed and will be held on Decem- ber 15 and 16 at San Francisco. Age limit, 20 years or oVer; salary, $840 per annum. Persons who desire to com- pete should apply to-the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C., or to the secretary Consolidated Board of Examiners, 301 Jackson street, for form 1312, which should be properly executed and filed with the commis- sion at Washington. An examination will be held at San Francisco January 5 for the position of mammal taxidermist (male) in the United States Museum, Washington, D. C., at $900 per annum. Age limit, 20 years or over.

President Wheeler safd fat in the gymnasiums of the university the | students supplied their own towels and kept them rigorously in the line of duty until they could be leaned against a wall like a plank. Only on such a' | showing are they sent to the laundry to | be mangled and made pliable again. | As a consequence of this procedure, | students are given to using towels be- longing to their. fellows that have not | | attained a state of rigidity and nu-| merous cases of skin disease inocula- tion have resulted. He recommended that the towel supply in the baths of the gymnasium be supervised by the college authorities and that a fee of $3 | a vear be charged against all students | belonging to the gymnasiums to insure | a supply of clean towels. o President Wheeler made several rec- | ommendations in regard to the health of the students. He wished that a reg- ! ular examination be made by the col- lege bacteriologist of the three water supplies of the institution to determine whether or not the water supply was perfectly pure. Further, he recom- mended that students should have an opportunity of subjecting themselves | to medical examination without charge | whenever they felt ill, in order to guard | against the introduction of infectious | diseases among the students. WISHES A HOSPITAL. Along the same lines, he asked the | regents to establish a hospital where | students who were without means for, | hiring nurses and medical attendance could be taken care of properly. He | cited several instances to show thal | the illness of students was not any- | | body’s business in particular and they | were left to suffer alone in improper | surroundings when they should be i given the best attention procurable. | i He also recommended a semi-annual i inspection of lodging-houses occupied | by students, to the end that unsanitary | | quarters might be wined off the lists of | |the Y. M. C. A. and the university, | | which measure he felt would suffice to | compel lodging-house keepers to main- tain their premises in sanitary condi- tion. All of these recommiendations | seemed to meet with the approval of the regents present and were referred | to the committee on grounds and build- | ings and the finance committee with \(ull power to act. OBJECTIONS TO GRADE. | Frederick W. Dohrmann introduced a | protesting against | " resolution | now inder consideration by the Board | of Public Works. The proposed changes | | of grade, it is claimed, will serfously af- | | fect the entrances to the Affiliated Col- | leges and damage the property. Attor- | ney Snook of the Board of Regents was Instructed to file a protest with | the Board of Public Works before its consideration of the subject to-day. Dr. Eugene Waldemar Hilgard, pro- | | fessor of agriculture and director of | | agricultural experiment stations for | the university, has advised President | | Wheeler that he will offer $125 yearly | for a graduate scholarship in memory | {of his wife and son, tq be known as | { the “Hilgard Memorial Graduate Schol- | arship.” A vote of thanks was offered | | by the Regents to Professor Hilgard for | his gift. On recommendation of President | | Wheeler, Dr. Alfred Emerson was ap- | pointed lecturer in archaeology and } university. | Astronomer Hussey, now in Australia | with the Carnegie Commission, was' granted further leave of absence for a month and a half without pay. —_——————— ‘Charged With Robbery. | Willlam Little, saloon-keeper on Howard street, neaf Fourth, swore to a complaint before Police Judge Mo- | gan yesterday charging W. J. Watson, alias Harry Howard, and W. H. Owens with robbery. Watson was booked on Sunday night after his arrest and Ow- ens was booked yesterday.

Up-to-Date Tallors 128-132 ELLIS STREEF, A 10-PAY PART OF RECEIPTS Geary-Street Railway Company Agrees to Turn Over Five Per Cent to City Treasury S R NO TEMPORARY PERMET Corporation Must Waive All - Rights to the Rails, Subway and Roadbed Along the Line The Supervisors’ Public Utilities Com- mittee yesterday adopted a resclution providing that the treasurer of the Geary-stre>t Railway Company pay to the City Treasurer 5 per cent of the 8ross receipts of the company, in ac- cordance 'with the provisions of the charter, beginning November 7, 1903, and to continue during the temporary operation cf the road by the company. The resolution also provides that the city shall waive none of its rights by the acceptance of the percentage from the company, which is specifically bar- red from asserting any rights to the rails, subways or roadbed along the route of the road. As a measure of precaution the reso- lution was referred to the City Attor- ney for his legal opinion as to whether the acceptance of the money by the | Treasurer would jeopardize the rights of the city in any particular. President Platt stated that the direc- tors of the company had voluntarily submitted by resolution an offer te pay 5 per ¢ent of the gross receipts pend- ing the sale of a franchise to the high- est bidder and would ask no affirmativa action on the partof the Supervisors. The committee objected to the clause providing for the sale of the franchise, as 1t did not know what disposition of the road would be made, since it might decide to recommend the purchase of :the road by the city or might favor that a boulevard be made of Geary street. When the committee announced its | decision, F. P. E. Troy wanted to be heard, but Chairman Braunhart or- dered him to sit down. Finally Troy was granted permission to speak and asked tbe committee to insert a condi- tion that the company keep Point Lo- bos averMe in repair. Platt stated that the company will agree to pave the space between the rails and for two feet on either side thereof, as required by the law in the matter of granting street railroad fran- chises, and will incorporate a conditicn to this effect in the offer. Owing to tke opinion of the City | Attorney that the board has no right to grant a temporary permit for the road’s operation, it was agreed to take | nc action on that point. Braunhart declared that nothing would be done in the matter of ‘the disposition of the road before next June, when the bud- get is adopted, as it might be deter- mined that the city overate the road out of its current revenues. Supervisor Loughery thought a franchise should be granted to the highest bidder and that action should be taken in that re- i gard, as he was not in favor of al-| Pool resigned from the department on he road to run on sufferance Braunhs«t thought lowing t until next June. the there was a large element that would | Civil Service Commission. change of grade on Parnassus avenue, ' opnoge the granting of a franchise. It | was suggested that the $240,000 paid in under the specfal levy for schools and a hospita!, since declared illegal, could be used to accuire the road, but there was a diversity of opinion on that point. T L Loss in Annuity Fund. City Attorney Lane has requested | the Superintendent of Schools to fur- nish a full statement of the loss of $300 deposited by Miss E. M. Molloy | on January 26, 1897, with former Treasurer Widber to be placed to the credit of the teachers’ annuity fund. The money was handed to ex-Deputy Montanya, who claims to have turned it over to his superior, Widber, who is now in San Quentin prison for em- bezzling more than $100,000 of the city’s funds. KB tgr Sa Objects to Asiatics. The San Francisco Labor Council has forwarded 2 communlcation to the Board of Supervisors reciting that the law and legislative committee of the council has been instructed to ap- pear before the board and petition that when granting a franchise to any railroad company a condition be ex- acted by the board that no Asiatics shall be employed in the construction of the road.
