look in his eyes and a melancholy lassitude
in his steps, pausing long enough at the gate
to cut an odd-looking hierogly thic on the
bark of a tree.
Since that day Mrs. X. has never been
bothered by a tramp. Occasionally one would
reach the gate, but on seeing the tree would
turn and pursue his pilgrimage.
This naturally excited curiosity among the
boarders of Mrs. K. as well as in the bosom
of that good lady herself curiosity which
was not gratifed until one evening last week.
1t was just after supper and Mrs. X. and
most of her boarders were sitting outside
in the summer twilight, when tramp ap-
preached, beheld the hieroglyphic and, turn

Another Point of Difference on Comm u

Eddie Frear, a little boy, was run over
last evening by two-wheeled cart and Sc
verely injured while playing on Willow
street. He was taken to his home on Santa
Clara avenue, near Willow street.
Andrew Cornelson was sued yesterday
on charge of battery, preferred by his
former partner, Martin Olsen, but was ac-
quilted. The two recently had a savage
quarrel in barn, but the jury could not de-
termine who was to blame.
Persons holding Communication tickets be-
tween Alameda and San Francisco cannot
use them to 90 to Oakland and return. Sew
eral patrons of the railroad who attempted
to do so were put off the train, having re-
fused to pay the 10 cents demanded by the
conductor. This state of affairs was consid-
cred at the meeting of the Alameda I'm
provement Association, and it was decided
to request the railroad company to honor
these tickets to Oakland and return. Sew
eral months ago an order went into effect
prohibiting stop-over privileges on commu-
tation tickets to San Francisco, but il is rea-
soned that gong to Oakland and then re-
turning is not making use Of any stOp-over
privilege, the holder of the ticket simply
relinquishing his right to 90 the full dis
lance which his ticket permits him.
There was small attendance at the con-
cert last evening in Park Opera House given
by the Alameda City Band, although an ex-
cellent programme was rendered. 1t was
thought that the fact that half the proceeds
were to go toward improving the town park
would attract a large audience, but there
was a disappointment. One thing which
initiated against greater success of the
affair was the unpleasant incident at ball
recently given by the Alameda Olympic
Club. The band agreed to furnish music,
but it was not of the kind which this club
wanted. and some uncharitable words were
uttered which caused straitened feel
ing to exist between the two organizations
and, in consequence, the Olympic Club and
its friends refused 10 attend the concert last
evening, notwithstanding that the object
was worthy one.

Bids for the Erection of the New Reform
School at lone.
The Board of Prison Directors held
special session in its rooms in the Phelan
Building last evenin G for the purpose OF con-
sidering and awarding contracts for the
erection of the ne " Reform School at lone.
There were present Directors Sonntag,
Craig. Devlin and De Pue According 10
the specifications contractors were instructed
to bid on three buildings, one composed OF
a sandstone front and sides, with brick back
ings; another built of pressed brick with
sandstone trimmings, and a third to be OF
common brick with sandstone trimmings.
The bids received for the respective styles
were as follows:
Ric bardson & Gale, stone, ST., 450; pressed
brick, S63, $50; plain brick, &c.,
Is. kreuZberger, stone, Sl3, 692; pressed
brick, S65, SIC; plain brick. $62,S79.

S67,7 no; S66,010. j. II. Mackay, S74, $50;
Sos, 400; 1910
In the opinion of the board all the bids
were entirely too high, and the ACCESSIBILITY
OF cutting off or reducing the size OF the
tower was seriously contemplated. Ii pos
sble the Directors favored a building OF
sand stone, but if the cost proved too high
for the appropriation they deemed it b"
use the next best material-preSSed'. lex
with stone trimmings. Before awarding the
contract Architect Schultz was instructed to
alter the plans in such q manner as to reduce
tie cost of material. A meeting Will be held
this morning at o'clock for the purpose OF
receiving his report.

The account presented by DR.. L. 81. Tay-
lor, who was appointed by the Court to guard
the interests of the Blythe estate until an
heir was decided upon, was canvassed before
Judge Coffey yesterday, the attorneys for
the several claimants being evidently anx-
i0uS that Mr.. Taylor shall have as little as
possible for his services.
According TO Mr.. Taylor's statement he
has devoted $50 DAYS time in looking after
the estate, and performed severe labor in
Strengthening up Blythe's affairs in Mexico,
more especially in the matter of the extern
sive hog ranch and the colonization scheme
there.
The latter, he said, threatened at one time
to bankrupt the estate, owing to the enor-
nous expense in forwarding supplies to col
onists in order that they would remain on
the land, and thus insure the contract with
the Mexican Government
