April .—Co-educa- has turned out to be a failure ch Club of the U tion so far as the Fr ni- versity of Ca rnia is concerned The club was formed some time ago for the study of French. Men and women students were admifted and for a while they seemed to be making progress in the language. But co- education began to get in its deadly work after the students had got well enough acquainted to be on speaking terms. The French and their language were allowed to lag behind to an alarming distance. Either the men students devoted too much of their at- tention to the women students or vice | versa, but whatever it was there was no more learning. To sum it all up the nch Club had dwindled into a | social club and more time was spent | arranging for a dance than declining | French verbs. The upshot of it all is the dissolution of the co-educational French Club. | The instructors had long observed the | tendency of things and said that it | must come a stop. And as was | most fitting the club finished out its | reer last vigk a dance at the Town and Gown Club.

Estimates of time yet required to meet all of the legal flecessities cov- ering the call for the general bond election have been made by interested the result being that it the date of election can be set 20. President George W. Dornin of the City Council, City Attorney J. E. Mec- officials, unlikely before June city seems Elroy and City Engineer F. C. Turner were in conference torday over mat- ters cornected with the preliminaries. They expressed doubts whether the election could be called before the summer vacation shall be well under w In that event the Council will be invited to discuss a proposition to postpone the call until the vacation exod is ended. The purpose of | pestponement would be to secure a much rger representation at the| polls. It is feared that the absence of many persons from the city during | the vacation period might jeopardize the success of the bond project. City Engineer Turner has begun work on the plans and estimates for vario’ work outlined in the bond | scheme. Architects’' figures will also red on such projects as come their profession. But the stick- point is in the law that requires days’ publication of the completed bond ordinance, after it becomes a law through the regular course. 'All of this eats up time.

April 29.—Statistics show that with the acquirement of more and more knowledge the univer- sity student consumes more and more tobacco. At le: a fot of statistics just compiled by J. Gustav White, editor of the Daily, Californian and a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, develop that this is so. Editor White does not intend to do anything about it and he has only col- Jected the figures so that he may ex- hibit them for the effect they may have on the morals of college young men. Editor White and his assistant com- puters assigned to themselves21 stu- ts, whose habits they noted. The student that smoked one cigar or cigarette a day was classed as an habitual smoker, g0 that to begin with there were 521 habitual smokers to watch. .Of these it was found that 35 per cent were seniors, 30 per cent | juniars, 22 per cent sophomores and 16 per cent freshmen, showing an increased _percentage of habitual smokers for each year of academic life. : The reason for all this is found to be in the assoclation of the students. —_——— Marriage Licenses.

He wa# an old Spaniard. Once wealthy, he and | everybody else believed that his share of the Castro fortune had been dissi- pated. He fell almost into poverty, and lived from hand to mouth by breaking and caring for horses, an art in which he had become an expert in days when he roamed over the broad acres of the San Pablo Rancho. then owned by his father. At times he was not able to make suf- ficient money to supply himself with the necessaries of life, and he was de- pendent upon Gregorio Zelich for food. | The restaurant-keeper supplied him many times with food. In a burst of gratitude Ca¢tro made his will in fa- ment that days ago. OLD MAN LAST WILL. The document was written by the old was filed for probate a few and the following is the translation of | the will: In the name of God, amen: 1, Castro, resident of Oakland, count meda, State of California, veterinar tice and experience, tamer of that in case that I should die gurio Zelich, gwner of the restaurant on Sev. enth street, No. 475, shall be my universal helr of all’ my rights and titles that belong ty- me, for love and favors that he has ux- terded me during a long time. MAGIN CASTRO. Oakland, tenih of January, 1878, The will was put away and little at- tention paid to it, for Castro was known to be poor, ahd it was not theught that the old man who secured his meals upon charity would have much to will away. That was twenty-five years ago and Castro continued to break horses on the streets of Oakland. *For a while he did well, at least he made a scanty living, for there were many that raised horses on the ranchos back of the Contra Costa hills that wanted their animals broken to the sfreets of the city, and Castro got most of this work. He could be seen, 'seated erect upon the horses, with his old straw hat, worn summer and winter, strapped under his chin, and his. white beard flowing in the breeze, forcing untamed Horses to ride up to the trains on the Heventh-street local track. But the time came when the stock ranches were cut up into smaller farms and Castro became too old to do much heavy work and poverty set more heavily upon him. Then one day the old man was found under the tres- tle of the Seventh-street local. He had evidently been struck by the train and killed. He had no money and no rela- tives and the body was buried in the potter’'s field, PROPERTY IS FOUND, Still no attention was paid to the will he had made in 1878, and it re- mained in the safe of the restaurant man. But a short time ago the restau- rant was sold out and Zélich went to work for another place, and in moving he found among his papers this will. He thought that he would look into the matter, and it was discovered that the will of Don Juan Jose Castro, the father Magin Al v of prac horses, wish first Mr. Gre. of — restaurant- | | vor of Zelich, and this was the docu- | man In his own hand and in Spanish, | big | + I | o | LAST OF AN ILLUSTRIOUS FAMI- | LY WHO WILLED HIE PROS- F TO HIS FRIEND, PLEDGE FEALTY 10 ALMA MATER eniors at the University of California Tell What They Will Do for College SR el T Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, April 29. “What Can I Do for My University?" | was the subject for discussion at the last university meeting of the year this morning in Harmon Gymnasium.

In speaking of that conference Mr. Neal said to-night: The matter came up durl a talk of the | ferry service between New york and other 'nl-urhr cities and 1 mentioned to Mr. Harri- mwan that it later ferry-boats were run b tween San Francisco and the Alameda County side it would aad much to the convenlence | and comfort of .commuters and otners livitg | on both sdes of the bay. I explained to him that 1 an Alamesan or Oaklanaer went to fan Francisco to attend a soclal function or other affair some distance from the terry land- ing he weuld be compelled to leave and prob- ably break up the event i he wanted to catch the last boat for home. [ did not suggest to Mr. Harriman that it would be well to es- tablish an all-nicht service, but [ did say to him that'if beats were operated here as late as 2 o'clock In the marning the conditions would be greatly Improved and the service appre- ciated. He was surdrised that such a service was | not inaugurated a long time ago. He urged me to confer with Mr. Kruttschnitt about the matter. Since that confereace Mr. Krutt- echnitt has been promoted and his successor Mr. Markham, not yet had very much time to familiarize himself with the loeal train_and ferrv service When he has done this I believe that representatives from the Alameda Advancement Asscciation and other & public snirited orzanizations will call upon him and request the instullation of a later ferry service at night Another matter that 1 belleve should be called to the attention of the Snuthern Pacific manasement fe the way in which nassengers bark from the narrow are reanired to dis uge boats on the San Francisco side.

BERKELEY, April 29.—Senorita Jesusita Rea, the pretty daughter of a Mexican don of Mazatlan, has met her fate in Enrico d'Agostini, paving teller of the Italian-Columbus Bank of San Francisco, and next Sunday they will be married in Berkeley. In fact, they will be twice married, for, in order to | conform to the laws of Mexico, there | will be a civil and a religious cere- | mony. The religious ceremony will be performed at St. Joseph's Church in | the morning and the civil ceremony in | W. Sturtevant on North = Berkeley | Heights, where the senorita is a guest. All these rites and ceremonials will be the climax of a pretty romanee, | which had its beginning in the-Sturte- vant home when Senorita Rea went there to reside for a brief time several months ago. There she met Senor d’Agostini and straightway fell in love with him. He reciprocated this affec- | tion and an engagement followed. But when the senorita told her parents in far-off Mazatlan they objected most strongly- and threatened to disinherit her. She was brave, however, and in- sistent, too, and told her parents she would marry her lover if they never gave her a cent. This determined at- titude seemed to appeal to the parents and just a few days ago they were won over. With the parents’ consent came a promise of a wedding dowry of 320,000, part of which the young peo- ple will spend in traveling over the world. \ ———————— Work on Theater Ordinance.
