A DAUGHTER OF FORTUNE.
How Mrs. Berry Of lei Post Street Go
s375O for n Ounrter.

$3.50 for n Quarter.
For years Mrs. Berry of 121 Post street
has supported herself aud family of three
bright children by conducting a dressmak-
ing establishment over OConnor & Moffatt's
dry-goods store. For years she has saved
what she could out of her earnings there.
but on Tuesday last in one glorious swoop
she found herself the heiress of fortune 10
the tune of nearly $1,000.
A little over week ago she heard OF the
Premium Note Company at % Montgomery
street, and at once decided to try her luck
by purchasing q few of the company's
coupons. She bought six of them at two
DTS apiece, which totalied up 81 30 in all, and
then quietly waited.
When Tuesdays drawing at New Orleans
was held she read the list teiegraphed to
the evening papers. The number of her
coupon, q. 400, was the number OF that
which drew the first prize. She was $3.50
ahead.
Mrs. Berry Immediately went down to the
compaDy's Office to have her good fortune
verified. She there was assured of her win
ming. but will have to wait until Tuesday
next, when the official lists arrive from
New Orleans. before her money Will be
handed over.
Nevertheless Mrs. Berry has been enter
tanning constant stream OF friendly we'll
wishers at her apartments ever since her
luck was made known. To all Of these she
repeated the assurance that she had no in
tentl0n OF retiring from either her own busi-
ness or the pleasing risks that are offered
by the Premium Note Company.

is unique in many respects. Each quarter
OF Y weeks is divided into two terms, and
one OF these periods Of six weeks constitutes
the unit of work. The student only pur-
sues two studies at time-a major and a
minor" In the former he recites 10 hours
and ~ the latter five hours a week. Each
subject runs for six weeks the theory bling
that student can accomplish more by con-
centrating his attention on two subjects for
short time than by dividing his attention
among four or i've for much longer time
Another of the basic principles followed
IN mapping out the courses of study in the
various departments is in making the work
elective as far as possible. During the frat
TWO years the course is elective, and during
The last two the subjects are elective. f. Is
intended to give the student great amount
OF freedom In the way of specialization dur
ing the last two years. In fact, the ten
deDcy OF the system is toward the encour-
agement of specialization
Eight OF the men who have accepted pro
1essorships In the new institution are 10 re-
ceive salaries of $1,000 per year. Twenty.
five members of the faculty receive salaries
ranging from $1,000 upward and "a a,e paid
$1,000 or more. No other college has a saIar v
list that compares with this. AS result
of its libefality in this respect the new uni :
versity has secured many OF the foremost

WILLIAM WEIGEL'S SHOOTER.

The Train-Robbers Clear Up the Laurel
Palace Mystery.
Since the death OF Oscar Beaver at the
hands OF the Fresno tran-robbers it has
leaked out that the young Deputy Sheriff of
Tulare County was the individual no shot
Neigel some time ago in the Laurel Palace
saloon.
The shooting, from all accounts, was &C
cidental; 1t appears that Weigel. with
James Brewer and John Healey, were
drinking IN the saloon when Beaver en-
tered. The trio invited the newcomer to
join them, which be did. After while the
young men tried to be funny at Beavers
expense by pushing him and knocking his
bat OF, until finally the horseplay became
so rough that the whole four went sprawling
on the barroom floor. 1t was then that the
pistol was discharged, but how no one
could tell. Indeed. Weigel did not know
for some time after that he had been hurt
When he did Beaver and his friends had
disappeared.
Weigel, notwithstanding the remon-
stranees OF the sainon-keeper, who called a
hack to bring him 10 a physician, refused
to rice or go In search of a doctor. He
started of to walk home and on the way
tainted from loss OF blood. The police used
every effort to Identify his assaiiant, but
without success, until Beavers death at the
