Troy of San| Francdseo this evening at Forester Hall; before: the Oakland Common Good Al- liance. Colonel Irish in beginning his remarks said that he wished to contra- ; | diet a statement published in a San:| Francisco daily that he was to take the : the. work of organizing a stock com- affirmative on a question of this kind. “I would not have a city own a dog'| or a cat,” he said. ““The function of! gcwernment is-to govern, and‘a govern- memt has no business to be in-busi- ness.” Chlonel Trish had come prepared to( dise pss rather the advisability of bond- ing ghe city for public improvements, and he’was heartily in favor of thisc “Anything that will tend to beautify the city and make it attractive for set- | tlers I. am in favor of,” he said. “Parks, schoolhouses and good streets are necessary to an up-to-date city.” ARGUES FOR CITY’S OWNERSHIP Troy in answering this statement said that He was not against public iryprovements, but he believed mu- nitipal ownership of water works to be of the first importance, and was pre- pared to speak on this part of the pub- lic improvement scheme. “Your other schenaes can waflt.

OAKLAND, June 2.—The first car- load of meat for the Co-operative Meat Company has arrived in Oakland and the market will be opened next | saturday. The wholesale department ‘u! the business will be located at the Produce Exchange, and no retail business will be done there. The | branch market at Seventh and Broad- { way will be open for business next | Saturday morning. This will be the | only retail shop at present. but later other branches will be opened in other parts of the city. The Cooks’ and Waiters’ Union held a “smoker” Tuesday night at their local headquarters, the occasion being the special meeting called for the pur- pose of signing an agreement with the individual restaurant owners. There was no change in the agree- ment and the schedule of wages and hours is the same as. that of last year. Sanitary Inspector Stewart F.

Option on Merritt: Property. Now Owned by Bowdoin Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 2. Oakland seems about to realize its ambition for a new hotel that will combine not only commercial but tourist features. The project Wwas launched last week at the annual banquet of the Oakland Board of Trade, and nearly $75,000 was then sub- scribed in less than ten minutes. A committee of citizens is in charge of pany and collecting subscriptions. This committee is headed by C. H. King, the originator of the plan, and includes these well-knpown Oakland citizens: William G. Palmanteer, manager of the Central Bank; Isaac Requa, capitalist and president of the Oakland Bank of Savings: William J. Dingee, president of the Contra Costa Water Company; Frank C. Havens, manager of the Realty Syndicate; shaw, president of the Union Savings Bank; E. G. Lukens, president of the Judson Powder Company, and George C. Perkins, United States Senator. This committee has already got down to work and. announces that it has in $250,000, or one-half of what is required to build the hotel. It is proposed to have the full amount where it can be used before work is begun. BOWDOIN COLLEGE PROPERTY. The general features of the enter- prise have already been determintd. The proposed site is the former Mer- ritt property, a square block of land bounded by Jackson, Madison, Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. This is now owned by the trustees of Bowdoin Col- lege, to which it was left by Dr. Sam- uel Merritt. Bowdein College is, far away in Maine and has no use for non- productive property in Oakland, It would rather have the money in hand, and W. J. Laymance announced to the committee that he had secured an op- | tion from the college upon the property for $45,000, he to take his commission out of that sum. The commission amounts to $2000, and he offers the prop- erty to the proposed hotel company for just ewactly what the college has agreed to take from him, $43,000. In other:words, he donates his commis- sion to the project. C. H. King last evening gave a din- ner to a number of prominent citizens of Oakland, those present being W. G. Palmanteer, M. J. Laymance, W. E. Dargie, H. C. Capwell, Charles I Heeseman, Bert Reynolds, Henry A. Butters, Colomel J. C. McMullen, Dr. H. Thomas, Charles E. Snook, J. C. Klein, Frank C. Havens, A. H. Breed, Emil Lehnhart and W. J. Laymance. The hotel project was discussed from different points of view, and it was the unanimous opinion of those present that the movement should be started at once. It was decided that C. H. King should be made the chairman of a com- mittee that would take the project in, hand, Mr. King to name his assistants later. This was done this afternoon. ———,——————— CANNOT DIVORCE HIS INSANE WIFE Charles W. Poole Loses His Suit—Un- happy Loupl;s Would Be Free of Bomds. OAKLAND, June 2.—Judge Ogden to-day denied the pettition of Charles ‘W. Poole for a divorce from Elizabeth K. Poole. The wife is in the insane asylum, but was represented by an at- torney.

OLB ROMANCE FINDS ALTAR| Ago Remarries Husband and Fuifills Life Dream Occult Aid to Regain -Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 2. After eighteen years of separation lunder strange circumstances, Robert I‘i. Cunningham and Clara M. Cun- ;ningham, his child-wife of eighteen | vears ago, were reunited at the altar here to-day. They were children together at Portland, Or., and he was a man of 22 vears, she a child of 16 when the first marriage made them one. The cere- mony was without her parents’ con- sent and they had the marriage an- nulled. Cunningham. was broken- hearted and his girl-wife was miser- able. But in time their familles and they drifted apart and years sepa- rated:them from their great sorrow. Often in happy drearhs the younsg: woman heard the footsteps of her hus- band's return, and to discover him and take up again the broken threads of affection became. the passion of her life. Far and near she looked, watched and waited. One day, she says, a psychic in Rochester, N. Y., told her that Cunningham was in San Fran- cisco. Believing the story with the fervor of a devotee, she began inves- | tigations and finally discovered that | her former husband, still unmarried, was a detective with Morse’s agency in San Francisco. She tremblingly wrote him the story of her love; her long search; her dream of a reunion. Fervently she implored him to recall the affection of the long ago and begin life in mature years where they had begun it in the sunny hours of youth. The letter deeply impressed the lonely Cunningham, who had suffered in silence for half a lifetime, for often in memory he heard the voice and saw the face that had charmed him in the long ago. He could not wait to answer her ap- peal by mail, but hastily replied to her questions by a long telegram—and every answer was yesg So it was not long before plans were made for a Western trip, and on the shores of the Pacific the old lovers met and were married here to-day, brought to- gether as If by a magician’s wand. el e s PUPILS OF ST.

A reso- lution for this. change was passed “to- day at a business meeting of the Cali- fornig” Conference of Seventh Day Ad- ventists. A building will be erected upon a grant of land that has been made by the people of Mountain View. As soon as that building is finished the Pacific Press will be moved from Oakland, where it has been for twenty-five years. It s proposed to dispose of the old building at Twelfth and Castro streets and also the church at Twelfth and West streets. The change is due to the sale of the checkbook department of the Pacific Press to a private corporation. The church people in command of the pub- lishing company found that their con- tracts for checkbook tablets required them to print many checks for saloons and other questionable businesses and this was distasteful. Acting on the recommendation of the directors another resolution was passed to-day calling for, the absorption by the Pacific Press of the California Tract Soclety, which has always been a separate institution for the sale of books manufactured by the Pacific Press. By gelling its own wares direct the Pacific Press people will save the middleman’s profit and thus make up the deficit threatened by the loss of the checkbook department. Hereafter, only denominational work wiil be car- ried on by the Pacific Press.

DOVE FARTY. ————e OAKLAND, June 2.—For originality and general uniqueness the ““dove party” glven by Miss Helene Burrell last Saturday night, with Miss Agnes Forgle as the motlf, would most certainly be awarded the proverbial confec- tionery. Miss Forgie is contemplating matri- mony, and as so short & time—next Tuesday is the wedding day—of her bachelor girihood remains. Miss Burrell planned an entertain- ment for her friend that is still being talked about and enjoyed all over again by the nine merry participants. In the first place arrangements were made to accommodate the guests all night in Mrs. J. P. Burrell's artistic iittie flat on Thirteenth street, and then quaint invitations in verse were jsent to the chosen ones. There were no regrets and all arrived promptly. g merriment began when the game. of ‘‘shed’”’ hearts was introduced. V- eral games were played and the prize awarded- to the winning, or rather losing, bride-elect. It was way into the ‘“‘wee sma’ hours'” succumbed before the nodding nine to allurements and sought repose. Next morning the girls enjoved a delightful breakfast, the table being prettily -decorated with rose leaves and maidenhalr ferns. Straw- berries were served in dainty baskets, which were later carried away as souvenirs of the occaslon. Just before the jolly party dis- bended a basket, which apparently was filled with rose leaves, opened as if by magle and -)m-md the bride with eight pairs of lace and silken hose, Eifts of the bride-elect’s girl £ri Miss Burrell's were Miss Agnes Pcrfle Misg Pink le, Miss Alma Nolan, Miss Helen Fuller, Miss Jess Spangler, Miss Clara Hoagland, Miss June Chapelle and Mrs. Laurence Spancler.

Collectors and Deputy Sheriffs have been on the track of the king of the frozen north for days, but he has succeeded in dodging them all and making his get- away unobserved. A suit to recover the moiley was brought a few days ago by W. E. Dean in behalf of the Oakland White Star Iy Association. Collect- ors were dispatchead in all haste to the Lindblom. residence, but he was never in.
