JAMES M. SELFRIDGE'S EMINENT CAREER CLOSES Prominent Oakland Physician and One of N ) the Founders of Fabiola Passes Away. A ( » » - — PROMINENT, PHY¥SICIAN OF KLAND, WHO PASEED AWAY YESTERDAY, A VICTIM OF CANCER, WITH WHICH HE HAD BATTLED MANY YEARS, ' GIVING HIS PROFESSION E BENEFIT OF VALUABLE RESULTS FROM HIS' EXPERIMENTS. T + : OAKLAND, March 4.—Dr. Jimes M. Selfridge, for many years prominent in the medical profession, one of the found- ers of Fabiola Hospital and a leader in the homeopathic school of practice, died at 10:15 o'clock this morning after a long illness at his residence, 398 Edwards street. The end was peaceful and without suffering. For many years Dr. Selfridge had been the victim of cancer. His battles against the insidious malady were the marvel of his friends and associates. His experi- ments with the X-ray as an alleviant, if not a cure, were widely discussed in the medical world. Though he did not conquer in his fight, Dr. Selfridge won remarkable relief, and his death did not occur until he had reached his eighty-second year. Dr. Seifridge was a native of New York State, of Scotch-Irish parentage. His an- cestors. fought in the Revolution and in the War of 1812. After completing his early education he was graduated in med- icine in 1852, coming to California the same year and arriving In July om the steamer California. Dr. Selfridge located in Sacramento, but a fire destroyed every- thing he possessed except his medical 1i- brary. In 1853 the physician settled at Mission San Jose. He returned East two yvears later and married Miss Elizabeth Loveridge at Holyoke Seminary. He took a post-graduate course in medicines at Philadelphia, received his diploma and re- turned to the Golden State in 1857. Dr. Selfridge made his home at Centerville, in this county, where he established a large practice. Six children were born to him, one of whom died in infancy. From 1852 to 1363 Dr. Selfridge practiced as an allopathic physiclan. In 1866 he re- moved to Oakland and began the homeo- pathic work, with which he became prominentiy identified. He heiped to or- ganize the State Medical Soclety of-Ho- meopathy, and was a charter member in 1874 of the Pacific Homeopathic Medical Soclety of California. He was president in 1881 of the Consolidated California State ‘Homeopathic Soclety, and was twice pres- ident of the Alameda County Homeo- pathic Medical Soclety. He founded the Oakland Homeopathic Hospital and Dis- pensary Assoclation, and by unwearying energy gave much toward the upbuilding | taj of the struggling Fabiola Hospital. From 1872 to 1878 he was attending physician for the State Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind, was & member of the Californta Academy of Sclences, the San Francisco Microscopical Soclety of the Pacific and the American Institute of Homeopathy. . Untll incapacitated by his affliction for surgical work he was unsurpassed for coolness of judgment and steadiness of nerve during his operations. He was uni- versally regarded as a representative phy- sician of the school to which he belonged. To him medicine was more than a_ pro- fesslon, and he gave himself to it with all the abandon of a generous nature, count- ing no duty too hard or disagreeable if it enabled him to relieve suffering. In both his puble and private life he ‘was conscientious to a fault, generous and open-handed—charitable to a degree that can only be estimated by his most inti- mate friends. * i3 ' The funeral will be held Tuésday morn- ing at 11 o'clock from the residence, 338 Bdwards street. —— OBJECTS TO MBDICINE.—Oakland, March 4.—Louls Dore, a teamster of 650 Clay street, attempted to give his horse a dose of medicine this morning and instead-went to-the Recelving ‘Hospital rs.

J. Morgan and F. M. Greenwood have been invited by President W. J. Gorham of the City Trustees to appear | before the munieipal legislators tomorrow night and show cause, if any, why the franchises should not be granted. As in- terest In the prospective awarding of the valuable railroad privileges has increased since the recent investigation of the finan- cial standing of Morgan and Greenwood, a large and talkative lobby is expected. President Gorham says that he wants i to hear from every Alamedan in any way interested in the welfare of the city as to the wisdom of granting or defeating the ordinances awarding the raifroad franchises. There is one element among the residents that believes Alameda is weli supplied with local railroads at pres- ent and another element is opposed to the granting of any railroad franchise un- less the city is well reilmbursed for the same. { The ordinances are not to come up for adoption or rejection tomorrow night. Such action will not be taken on them until they have been reviged and until the City Trustees have given Morgan and Greenwood another hearing to satisfy themselves as to the financial standing and backing of the raflroad promoters. —_———— CRICKETERS MAKE READY FOR THE COMING SEASON Alameda and Paeific Clubs Hold Their Annual Meetings and Elections of Officers.
