SETTLED BY ARBITRATION.
The Academy of Sciences Has Big Bill
to Pay.

The Academy of Sciences Has Big Bill
to Pay.
When the new building of the California
Academy of Sciences was finished the cor
poration disagreed with Contractor w. NJ.
Fletcher as to the amount due him for
material furnished and work done on the
building. The matter was referred by
agreement of the parties interested to a
Board of Arbitration, composed of Seth
Babson. j. r. Lo Romer and J. b. Gonyeau,
whose decision they were bound to accept.
The arbitrator filed their report and de-
cision in the County Clerk Office yesterday,
finding that on account Of omissions and
substltutions Fletcher owes the academy
S342 20, but that for the extra labor per-
formed and material furnished in excess of
what was shown by the specifications, but
which were ordered by authorized agents of
the academy, the corporation owes him
S5353.
1t was found in addition that s2443 re-
mains unpaid to Fletcher on the original
contract, and that he is entitled to receive
the sum of these amounts, less the amount
due the academy for omissions and Substi-
buttons. a total OF S7453 80. The expense of
the arbitration, SO per day, will be equally
borne by the interested parties.

PIEDMONT HOTEL.
Lessee Black Sues Proprietor Smith for
100000 Damages.

Lessee Black Sues Proprietor Smith for
100000 Damages.
F. D. Black, lessee of the Piedmont Springs
Hotel, an Alameda County resort, has sued
in this city and county f. NJ. Smith, propri-
etor of the place, for $4,000 damages for in
jury done to his business. He alleges that
on September Ii, 1890, he leased the place
from Smith for five years at quarterly rent
of 1915 for the first year and an increase OF
S75 per quarter for each succeeding year.
1t is next ayerred that soon after leasing
him the hotel and grounds Smith sustained
heavy losses and in order TO eXtricate him
self from his financial ENHANCEMENT decided
to sell the hotel and grounds. He offered
Black certain amount to relinquish his
lease, but Black decided that the amount
was too small and ne agreement was reached
between them. Black then declares that
Smith in order to compel him to give up the
place started false reports concerning him
and the character of the house and induced
persons to whom Black was indebted to
bring suit for the purpose of harrassing him
and injuring his business.
Finally Black alleges that his landlord had
suit brought in the Alameda courts to en-
join the License Collector from issuing him
a license to sell liquors, and on account of
these and several other alleged injuries and
veXations he prays the court to compel Smith
to pay him $50, 600 damages.

Women Delegates Not Wanted in Con-
ference, Say the Clergy.
In the church of Christ, we are taught, is
neither male nor female, but in the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
branch of that church it is about decided
that there is to be neither female In spite
of the fact that the Methodist Church at
large decided by majority of 100000 in
favor of admitting women as delegates to
this General Conference, which convenes
every four years, the Methodist Conference
at Yonkers has decided by the very en-
phatic vote of $50 to 60 that women should
not be admitted as delegates to the General
Conference. The report of the debate does
not show that the question was discussed
or decided upon its merits. When it is said
that it does not follow because a woman
can sing bass that she ought to sing bass,
it would seem to be a sufficient reply to sug-
gest that if bass were needed to complete

WINE FOR THE WORLD.
Over One Million Gallons Shipped
in One Month.

The State Board of Viticulture has re-
ported that the shipments by water and by
land of California wine during the month of
March were greater than for any previous
month in the history of the State. The
figures, compiled by Secretary Scott, are as
follows:
Overland 4l24 cases or els, 500 gallons, by
sea to New York via Panama 70 cases or
392, 414 gallons, valued at S1S1, 726; to Central
America PAT cases, valued at S5540; Mexico
II eases, valued at S3775; HawoE 1872 cases
or 13,261 gallons, worth S9SS3; British
Columbia % cases or Pill gallons, valued at
1896; China and Japan So cases. 3146 gal
Ions, value S12O4; Europe 9643 gallons,
value S36l7; Tahiti COZ gallons. value S199,
miscellaneous, ETC., South America. Siberia,
Fiji, etc, AZ cases, 1875 gallons, valued at
S114S, making total of 100000 gallons or
nearly double last years output for the
same month.
" The above figures show growing taste
for California Wines" said Secretary Scott
Even wine-growing France is purchaser
proDOrtionate with other European coun-
tries, but the retaiatory, measure taken by
that Government to counterfeit the Mckin-
ley bill measure, by imposing tax Of 8
cents gallon on American wine, makes 1t
impossible to compete on q large scale with
Italy and Spain. France uses tue heavy
bodied, rich California claret to mix with
its lighter wines. In some cases the claret
is used to strengthen an per cent wine,
which is almost too light to deserve its name.
Our sweet wines are used some in France.
Italy and Spain, and considerably in Mexico
and Central America
Americans do rot understand how
France an exporter of wine,is also pur-
chaser on a large scale at every wine mar
ket in the world. France exports to Eng
am mt nf al
Ions, and to America less, while there is
imported from Italy and Spain alone ten
times the amount she exports. France is
essentially a wiue-dnnking nation. She
consumes in the course of year about 400,-
100000 gallons OF wine. California pro-
duces about 100000 gallons, but she could
double or triple that amount in short
time by careful cultivation, and will some
day not far distant be one of the greatest
vineyards of the world"

Thinks 1t Is All Bosh.

Editor IFomdn's Column. Morning Call !:
To good husband and father and loving
wife who love their home and home COM
forts, all this twaddle about woman suf-
frage is simply surface bosh. What would
be the effect if a husband came home after a
hard days work, found the work undone,
the children neglected, and the wife off at
tending to some political convention
Would home be pleasant place to go to I'M
der such circumstances The proper place
for woman is her home, and IL she will at
tend to that and do what is required OF her
to the best Of her abilities she will find all
that she wants to DO, and will not need to
trouble herself with what is going on in the
political world. IT every wife would but at
tend 10 home and husband and not dabble in
that which cannot be productive of any
great benefit to her there would be more
happiness in this world and less work for

WOMEN INVENTORS.

The Number of Patents to the Credit of
the Weaker Sex.
Charlotte Smith has commenced the publ
cation in Washington of a new paper de-
voted to the inventions of women and it is
called " Woman the Inventor" In the first
number appears the following article:
How many woman's inventions are hid
den under the names of fathers, husbands,
brothers and sons we cannot, of course,
know, but it is by no means unlikely that
many thousands OF such concealmentS exist
in the lists of patents granted. IL is stu
more probable that suggestions of women
have helped many man to the develop
: ment of patentable devices, and it is
known fact that the loving faith of good
wife has kept up the courage and her indus
try supplied bread for the poor inventor IN
thousands of instances, while he has strug-
gled on toward success or failure-toward
happiness or despair. AS woman has be-
come more and more prominent in all de-
Dartments of business she is naturally max
ing better showing in the records of the
Patent Office. The 1000 patents now
standing TO her credit will soon be null
tiplied by ten, and the fame and fortune
annually reaped by inventors will be more
equitably divided between the sexes. 1t
would be scarcely permissible TO close THIS
article without reference TO the obligations
of woman to invention. Her life has been
relieved of most of its drudgery by patent
devices. The woolen-mill, the cotton fac
tory, the sewing machine, machinery for
the laundry and the dairy. mechanical APP
planes for doing all the hard work OF
urban or rural hOmes-these have opened up
a new and better life for The mothers. wives
and sisters of to-day. Other inventions,
such as teegraphy, the type writer and the
telephone have created new occupations for
thousands of women, while inventions In
music and art have made home embelish-
ment possible to even the poorest sewing
girl. The new times are better than the old
in all respects, but In no other direction is
the improvement so marked as in the
changes wrought in the home life of woman.

Bad Deck Arrangements and Squally
Weather Cause Great Loss.
LONDON, Oct 13-Further evidence, if
such were necessary, in support of the
argument that the Government should
establish more stringent regulations to pro-
tect the cattle which are shipped from
various ports in the United States and
Canada to Great Britain, was given to-day
upon the arrival at Dundee of the British
steamer Storm King, which sailed from
Montreal September 26. The usual heavy
weather which prevails at this season of the
year was expected. The vessel had on
board $50 head of cattle, stalls for which
had been erected between decks and ON the
main deck.
A heavy sea was encountered and much
water was shipped, necessitating the closing
of the ventilators leading to the between
decks and the battening down of the matches
This, of course, prevented the access of air
to the hold, and a number of the cattle in
the stalls there were suffocated. The stalls
on deck were of the usual fimsy construc-
tion, and some of the seas which boarded
the ship tore them to pieces and carried
them and the cattle in them overheard.
Others of the live cargo were so badly In
jured by the rolling and pitching of the
steamer, it being impossible for them to
keep their feet, that it was deemed expe-
dent to kill them to put them out of their
agony. Out of the total consignment of $50
head of cattle 152 were lost.
