BERKELEY.

Last evening the thirty-nlne graduates OF the
Berkeley High School received their diplomas
from Principal Waterman after having gwen
their friends In ShattucK Hail an opportunity
to listen TO an interesting programme. This
evening the class will give dance at Shattuck
Hall, TO which it has invited its friends. On
Wednesday evening the class held its class ex-
ercises. Notwithstanding the youth of the
actors the presentation of the farce, "a Russian
Honeymoon" was given with cleverness that
any amateur troupe might envy. Miss Anna
Hamlin was POliska; Miss Ruth Atterbury
McheIine; Miss Annie Lundstrum, the Count
ess; Fred Fairchild, Alexis; Harry Waste,
Ivan, the shoemaker, and Fred Bergman.

A skeleton Discovered.
T. S. Rewson. while walking on the West
Berkeley beach Wednesday. discovered The
skull OF human being protruding from the
sand. The remains had evidently lain for some
time. Probably the lae high tides washed the
sand away from the skull. The Coroner in
TERED the bones IN the cemetery.

DECLARED A DIVIDEND.
But Trouble Brewing for the Passen-
ger Association.

ger Association.
CHICAGO, June THE annual meeting
of the Chicago and Northwestern road
was held to-day. A semi-snnual dividend
of per cent on common stock and quar-
terly dividend of IA per cent on preferred
were recorded. The gross earnings of the
road for the year ending May 81 were
S31, 491. $50. The operating expenses, etc.,
were S27. $3.50, 697; 1871, 1873 was carried to
the surplus fund for the orthwesiern
system proper, and S39, 52e on account of
the Fremont and Missouri River Valley
and Eikhor1.
Trouble Is coming again upon the West
ern Passenger Association. The Atchison
has demanded of the lines which it sus-
poets of violation of The excursion agree
ment to at once Inform II whether they pro-
pose to abide by the agreement or not, and
if so when they will begin to observe it.
Unless answer is returned at once the
Atchison will give notice of withdrawal
from the excursion agreement and 10 bust
ness on its own account. The lines which
were requested to give an account of them
selves are the Burlington, theAlton and
the Union Pacific.
The notice of the Atchison means
substantially that the entire excursion
agreement of The association will be
thrown out and a general scramble for
excursion business will result, with a
wholesale decentralization of rates. Chair
man Caldwell is doing his utmost to keep
the trouble from becoming serious. but
there is small chance of his success, as sew
eral of the roads have had contracts in
direct violation of the agreement and have
no intention OF letting them 90.

In yonr esteemed paper, bearing on the subject
OF "Tortoise-shell Cats" have afforded me con-
siderable amusement. From all accounts these

on this earth where this species OF cat abounds.

eusses TIE Act or the Convention.

To rHE EDITOR or TRE UE-Sir l an asked
how I feel about tho action OF the CONSTITUTIONS
Convention on the suffrage question.
suppose I had had a dne estate left me-, with
executors who, as prodlRals, were, in extrava-
eance, dissipation, fraud. and corruption, rap
idly depriving my children and myself Of tho
means Of future livelihood. Then suppose I had
applied to the courts to vlndicnte my rights, to
appoint new executors, or to allow me to admin
lister the estate. Then suppose my appeal was
made to q small body composed mainly Of very
ordinary men. who said they could do nothing.
that the case was not Of sufficient consequence
for the consideration OF so august a bndy. or
even to submit II for adjudication TO a more Or
binary body, the people.
In the nature Of things how must a woman
feel under such circumstances? Depressed. In
disnant, Inundated, anxious and npprehensive
for the future. That Is as | feel now.
The condition Of our country, the disgraceful
proceedings In Washington. the strikes. the
terrible revelations of the wholesale corruption
In our metropolis and In every department Of
Government. as well as In the business world.
brought to light by investigating committees;
the rapid concentration of wealth In the hands
OF the few. all this fills me with apprehension
as to the safety and stability Of a government
composed OF men alone. Women and child rem
have equal rights and interests In this heritage
left us by the fathers. and I am not willing TO
trust our future welfare IN such hands as adj
minister our Government to-day.
II we stand parleying with such classes In
power another half century the mass OF the
people will have no rights, privileges. or i'm
munities for which 20 contend. We must pre-
pare at once for political action. and inaugurate
q peoples party. Rejected by Republicans and
Democrats, our political aristocracy, we must
cast our lot with the laboring masses. of whom
many thousand Joined us In our petition for the
right Of suffrage.
II we arc tn save anything from the wreck Of
our. national fortunes, we must try some new
methods OF action at once. When ninety-seven
men can play football with the rights of half the
people In the State. and that half meekly
accept the abject condition Of mere sub
jccts, In n so-called republic, in direct violation
Of every principle OF our Government. the women
Of the Empire State might AS well be under the
Gar OF Russia as the American flag. We have
plead our cause In Congress and courts and the
halls Of state legislation. but failed. thus far, at
every point. What next1 The excuse OF the
ninety seven men who voted No" was frivo-
lous to the last degree. They said the majority
of the women OF the State did not make the de-
mand."
