The Fifth Regiment band was on the lawn in front of the club-house, and its stir- ring music added to the gayety of an event hitherto unrivaled in Oakland. ERepresentatives of the Burlingame set and notables from San Francisco min- gled in the kaleidoscopic throng that | filled the richly furnished club-rooms and overflowed into the gardens, where { “utomobiles, smart turnouts and eques- trians added their quota to the general animation. As for the interior of the club-house. there was nothing but praise. for its spacious apartments, its artistic fur- nishing and the air of comfort and lux- ury that everywhere prevailed. To-day, L.of course, the rooms wore a gala ap- pearance, a delightfully harmonious arrangement of chrysanthemums and roses adorning every possible nook and corner. On the wide veranda a deli- clous luncheon was served, and in the hallway the thirsty guests found a seemingly inexhaustible punch. To many the beautiful club-house and its romantic surroundings, shad- owed on oOne side by Berkeley’'s misty hills and overlooking on the other a panoramic view of Oakland and the bay, was a revelation, for few have re- alized that at the city's very door was a spot destined to rival famed country clubs across the bay.

NUCH SHOOTING; NO HARM DONE ZEIGLER, Ill, Dec. 3.—Two dis- tinct attacks have been made on the Gordon blockhouse, situated half way between the pump and the adminis- tration building of the coal company. One attack was at 7 o'clock and the second was begun at 10:25 o'clock to- night. Brisk firing from the outside is maintained, the soldiers replying with rapid fire guns. DUQUOIN, IlL, Dec. 3.—After several months of labor trouble at the Leiter mines, in the town of Zeigler, during Wwhich many reports of active skirmish- ing have been sent out, the situation at Zeigler is one of the most pecullar in the history of recent labor disagree- ments. It is said by disinterested persons liv- 'InI near Zeigler that firing has been Iheu’d every night for several weeks at the stockgde surrounding the mines and pumphouse, several miles from | town. After a thorough investigation however, staff correspondents of the St. Louis newspapers declare they have not been able to find any marks of bullets, | either on the stockade or at the pump- | house. Reports sent out from surrounding | town that miners and strikers have been wounded have proved, upon in- vestigation, to be unfounded. | From the latest authentic reports, there are about twenty-five men en- | camped about four miles from Zeigler. | In the town there are about eighty miners, eighty-five militiamen and for- ty deputy marshals, including both State and Federal officers. | Although generally termed “strikers,” | the officials of the union, authorized to speak for the men, declare that they are not on a strike. They say that Joseph Leiter offered a wage scale to which they could not agree, and o | they left the mines. They deny all knowledge of the alleged attacks om the town of Zeigler.

PARIS, Dec. 3.—Cardinal Perraud, the foremost figure' in the French hierarchy and a member of the French Academy, has written a letter strongly approving of the American system of the independence of church and state, indicating that the Ameri- can system offers the basis for a re- organization of the French system when the forthcoming separation of church and state in France 1is ac- complished. This is the prevailing view in the highest clerical circles, which have been attracted to the American system | by the Abbe Kleins’' recent book dedi~ cated to President Roosevelt, in which the advantages of the American sys- tem are contrasted with the disad- vantages of the French system. —————— MURDERER OF A BOY MAKES HIS ESCAPE Disappears When Those Who Wit- nessed His Crime Go in Search of an Officer. SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 3.—A gang of Mexicans were at work on a siding near Tonopah when a boy, a favorite of the camp, accidentally dropped a crowbar on the foot of one of the workmen.

Then they started off to Tonopah in quest of an officer, leaving the man for dead and bearing off the boy for assistance. The boy died on the way.
