ALAMEDA.

The work of excavating on the founda-
ton of the new city hall was commenced
in earnest yesterday by Gray Bros, who
have the contract for doing the concrete
work. There are very few Alameda work
men employed on the job, and those who
have applied are not in happy frame OF
mind. Applicants have invariably been
informed by the contractors that they
have 800 men who have been employed by
be given preference on the work. When
bonds were voted for the new city hall
considerable prestige was given the project
from the fact that it would furnish en-
ployment to many idle men and that pref
erenee was to be given to Alameda me-
chanics. However, outside contractors
have secured the work and they will place
the patronage to suit themselves.

PURE FOOD EXPOSITION
Opened Last Night in the Mechanics
Pavilion.
The Attendance Much Larger Than Anti.
eipated- Splendid Display Of
Exhibits.

The California Pure Food Exposition in
the Mechanics Pavilion was thrown open
to the public last evening, and w. B. Har-
rington and the other gentlemen who en-
gineered the scheme have every reason to
feel gratifed at the large attendance and
excellent display made by the exhibitors.
Mr. Harrington interested the wholesale
grocers in the exposition, and some months
ago they consented to act as an honorary
executive committee. 1t was felt that the
exposition would be a good thing, not only
for the trade but for the city, as had been
shown in Boston, Chicago and New York,
where similar eXpositions had been held.
The committee has been more successful
getting exhibits than was anticipated, con-
sidering the bad weather of the past six
weeks.
The booths are beautifully decorated and
the exhibits displayed to the best adj
vantage. Everything was well advanced
last night and in good running order.
The attendance was much larger than was
expected. Casassa's band was present
and played lively airs and the living pic
lures were a great success. They are all
on local subjects. They will be shown
every night and the band viii be present
every afternoon and evening.
Mrs. Mary j. Lincoln, first principal OF
the Boston Cooking School, will give her
first lecture this afternoon at o'clock and
her assistant Mrs. ]. n. Lee, viii show how
G table should be laid, a suitable apart
ment with all the accessories having been
provided for the purpose. 4

ACME CLUB BUILDING.
4 Handsome Structure Will b
Erected.
The Athletes Of Oakland Will Seen
Have a FOrty.ThOuSand.DOIIar
Home.

The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland has
planned new building, which will be con-
structed on the northwest corner of Four
tenth and Franklin streets, and work
on the structure will commence in the lat
ter part of February.
The building, which will be 75x1O0 feet
and composed of brick, will front on Four
teenth street, and the inner departments
will be fashioned after the old Olympic
Club on O'Farreu street to some extent.
The estimated cost of the structure is
$4,000, and with this expenditure the club
expects to have a building which will be a
credit to the city of Oakland when COM
pleted. The ground has been leased at a
very nominal figure for a term of five years,
with the privilege of a renewal of the lease
if so desired The directors are in hopes
that they viii be able to occupy the new
quarters in July next. In the basement a
comfortable department will be set apart
for the wheelmen.
On the first floor will be a handball
court and stores. On the second floor will
be the office, reading and billiard rooms,
parlor, gymnasium and lounging-rOoms,
etc On the third will be dressing-rooms
and apartments for dressing, with $50
lockers. A running-track will be built
around the gymnasium so that the outdoor
athletes can exercise within doors.
This evening the club will give a short
exhibition of boxing, wrestling and gym
nastics, and in few weeks hence a grand
athletic entertainment will be given at the
Macdonough Opera-house.

TRAVELLED WITH A CORPSE.
Jacob Jackson Concea1s His Wife's
Body in a Sleeper.

Jacob jackson COncealS HIS W1fe'
Body in Sleeper.
According to the best authority, Jacob
Jackson and his son Travelled on tourist
sleeper on the Southern overland with the
dead body of the wife of Jackson since last
Thursday. The curtains of the berth wer
drawn, and none of the passengers knew
that there was a dead woman within
during all that time.
Telegraphic communication had been re-
ceived by the Coroner that a woman had
died on the train near Fresno, and when
the Coroner's deputy repaired to the Oak
land pier, he found the dead body of Mrs.
Jackson in an advanced state of decompo-
sition.
jackson, who is tailor of 1019H Clay
street, said that he had not said anything
to any one about his wife's death. The
reason for this secrecy is supposed to be ID
order to avoid delay and expense.
DR.. Buteau determined, by an autopsy,
death must have occurred on Thursday or
Friday last, but Jackson stoutly insisted
that the woman died at / o'clock on Mon
day morning. The verdict arrived at by
DR.. Buteau is borne sout by that given by
the Pullman porter also.

to procure this concession, and the strike
was ordered. 1t was understood that they
would return to work If taken back.
The witness was positive that the dis

important as bearing upon the alleged con-

By request of the public school author

This postponement OF three days is made

prepared by the heads of the great de-
partments Of the schools under the direc-
ton of superintendents Powell and Cook,
and the great activity now prevailing in

makes the task a somewhat exacting one.
Every possible aid is being rendered by
the officials and teachers generally, to
the end that this souvenir edition may be
the most complete, accurate and authori-
tative, as well as absorbing, exposition
Of school work ever given to the public.

wAsHINGToN's SOLDIER BOYS.

WASHING TONS SOLDIER BOYS.
The National Guard of the District of
Columbia is something TO be proud Of In
proportion to the population its strength
is greater than that of the majority of
States, and it yields the palm TO none in
point of equipment, discipline and soldierly
qualities generally. 1t is model organ
zation OF its kind.
This panegyric is suggested by the recent
muster-in of the National Rifles into
the Guard. 1t was one of Gen. ordway's
pet schemes in former years to utilize the
Washington Lig bit Infantry and the National
Rifles as the nuclei OF two regiments, but
the Rifles held aioof and the two regiments
were formed without them None the less,
the company is a welcome acquisition and
its accession no doubt gladdens the conf
mander's heart.
The Incorporation OF the Rifles with the
District National Guard VIII be signal
lied by the great encampment at Fort
Washington. which viii begin tomorrow
and last ten days For the first time in
four years Gen. ordway has succeeded in
obtaining from Congress an amount of
money sufficient for the purpose of holding
such a camp, and be has made mastery
disposition of his resources. His cavalry
he has sent on a long march into Virginia;
the artillery viii go out in another direction
and obtain practice in the handling of its
guns and win join the infantry at Fort Wash
ington during the last two days of the
encampment for foot drills and other
necessary exercise.
Meanwhile. the force from which the Older
organization Will be recruited in the years
to come is found in the High School Cadets
whose enviable record is a source of legiti-
mate pride and pleasure to them and their
friends who. in this instance, comprise all
the people of the District They have won
both fame and fortune by hard work and
unquestioned skill, and for them the future
holds, no doubt, many a glittering prize.
Their great exhibition drill tomorrow will
show the people here how worthy they are
to enter, at the proper time, the ranks Of
the maturer organizations.
1t behooves our people to advance. in
every reasonable way, the interests of the
District military, old and young, for, in it's
appearance, its martial spirit, its peaceful
prowess, it represents and shows forth the
interest and pride of the citizens of the Dis
trict in their soldiery.
