work for long time substantiating his
claim to the English estate, which has
been in chancery for over 200 years, and
consists of 100 acres OF land and property
right in the heart of London, and at last
will go to the rightful claimants, and Mr..
Bundock's share, at the lowest estimate
will be SIS, 10000 900.
Despite the nearness of this immense
fortune, Mr.. Bundock is not at all dis
turbed, but TRANQUILITY fills the place on
car Is Just as energetically as though his
future prospects depended upon faithful
work. Mrs Bundock takes the news as
quietly as her husband, and the tenor of
her life goes on as evenly as if she were
not expecting anything more than her
husbands monthly salary.
The neighbors speak very highly of the
Bundocks, who live in a cottage not far
hurst. They have one child, pretty
little girl years of age, native daughter.
Mr. Bundock will come into possession
of his inheritance ABOUT the first of the
year, and as yet has made no definite
plans as to what he will do in the future.
His friends surmise that he will take a
trip to Europe with his family and return
to California and build the handsomest
residence that Elmhurst has ever pos
sessed. His co-laborers on the road say
that be has proved himself one of the most
popular and true-hearted motormen in the
employ of the company, and they regret
that the day is not far distant when his
cheerful face will no longer be seen on
car Is.
Mr.. Bundock is about 33 years of age
and is man who has received an excellent
education, which has fitted him for any
position in life.

INSPECTING BUILDINGS.
Work of a Committee of the
University of California
Professors.
The Plumb ing of the Various Halls
Found to Be Defective in
Many Instances.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. &c. E.
Grunsky, the recently appointed sanitary
inspector of the university, in company
with J. ]. Sullivan, chief plumb ing in
spector of the San Francisco Board of
Health, and Professor Randall of the
university, commenced the work of look
ing into the sanitary condition of the
university buildings at Berkeley this
morning.
They spent the entire day in making
critical examination of the plumbing and
in taking notes on its condition. North
Hall, South Hall, Harmon Gymn asium,
the Library and the Mining and
istry buildings we're inspected.
The committee found much defective
plumb ing, due more to the ignorance of
faulty workmanship. In the older build
ings, such as North and South halls, the
plumbing is old-fas hioned and conse-
quently much more susceptible to criti-
cism than that IN the more modern struc-
lures. 1t will take several days to complete
the work, and until then the committee
will not be able to state what recommen-
dation as to Improvements shall be made
to the Board of Regents.
Resolutions of Respect.
BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 23.-The local
Chapter Oi tue Oetd hdpEd Epsilon Il Td-
ternity has passed the following resolu-
tons of respect to the memory of Walter
II. Powell;
Resolved, That we sincerely mourn his un-
timely death and extend our most heartfelt
sympathy 10 his sorrowing family and friends,
anG be 1t further
Resolved, That we send copy of these resolu-
lions to his family and to our sister chapters
and that we drape our pins in mourning for
thirty days as tribute of respect to his
memory.

is SOCIALISM RIGHT?
Discussion of the Subject Before the
Institute of Applied Christianity.

Institute of Applied Christianity.
DIR. ]. e. Scott, editor of the Socialist,
lectured last night before the Institute of
Applied Christianity on the subject, us
Socialism Right or Is 1t Wrong2"
His ideas called forth some interesting
and thoughtful discussion upon socialism
and its trend Some of the members de-
clared that socialism is commonly miscon-
strued, because people generally have as
sociated with it the fanatical assertion of
extremists, whose cry is that a settlement
OF the social problem and the employment
question can come only after bloody war
fare between labor and capital, resulting
in the overthrow of the great money kings.
socialism, according to the members OF
the institute is simply the application OF
Christ's teachings to human intercourse,
good of all and not strive against each
other in a depressing competitions plan
ultimately embracing general public
ownership for the public good.
In substance DR.. Scott said:
Socialism Is essentially cooperation in pro-
duction and equitable distribution, or ethical
ly expressed. Chou shalt love thy neighborr
as thyself." 1t is system by which labor and
the products of labor would be justly dis
tributed. 1t is right in its teachings as to prop
erty and mans relation to property, because
it demands justice or the love that works 10
i'll to the neighbor. 1t is maintained to be
right; first because it holds right idea of So
clety-that 1T is body of interdependent men,
bers; second, because it holds just idea of
property and the ownership of property;
third. because it would do away with
the fniquity of competition; fourth, be-
cause it seeks a fair division of the
tolls and pleasures and opportunities of
life; fifth, because it would do away
with the merely animal and essentially de-
grading incentives TO effort and exalts those
that are best; sixth, because it is an extension
and realization of the principle of democracy,
extending 1t to industry as well as to govern
ment; seventh, because it would secure the
prize OF liberty in as perfect form as possible.
No embryo Edsons would be left unedu-
Gated and lost to the world because of the pow
erty that drives them to unsuitable toll.
Socialism stands upon eternal right and JUS
tice. When men tell us it leads 10 despotism
we answer, Eyes, to the Gespotism of the Col
den Rule" when they tell US it is scheme
of robbery we answer, "Yes, it robs robbers OF
their ability to. rob and compels them to live
in at least the forms of economic decency and
order"

90S Broadway, Dec 49,
"Tbe King of Tramps" has arrived in
Oakland, and, as usual. in his trail is an
army of marauders who are committing
burglaries and robberieS by the dozen.
'The king arrived here a few days ago."
said Detective Nick Williams to-day, "and
his crowd is with him. When he was here
about two years ago we took him up and
examined him, and doctors pronounced
that he was really cripple, and so we let
him go. He is smart fellow, and we can
never catch him doing anything more
serious that begging, and as he cannot be
truthfully called healthy beggar' he is
practically safe from the law. l see he
has changed his appearance somewhat.
Last time his bandaged leg was neatly
wrapped in white; this year he has
changed to black. But it is the same old
king of tramps. His majesty has host of
friends, and we are all on the lookout for
them. One or two are already in Jail, and
we shall drive the others out of town before
long"

epidemic of burglary at this time. A few

The floor was cut out of a locker, and by
way of the basement the thief escaped
with the monthly offerings of about $3.50.
A burglary of a daring character was sue
cessfully carried out at Polk Gray's cigar
store on Washington street. A Ratchet
was freely used to chop away partition
and demolish the cash register, but no one
was aware or the deed till next morning.
Three nights ago a music-store at Thir-
teenth and Broadway, one of the best
lighted and most prominent corners in
town, was entered during the night and
some valuable musical instruments were
stolen. The work was done violently and
in a hurry, but no one was disturbed.
Last night burglar made an entrance
into the clothing-store of NJ. Hyman IL
Co. on Broadway and made another haul.
A week ago an electrician was held up in
Lorin, and the conductor was made to
deliver his collections at the point of a
pistol.
Three weeks ago a ruffian entered a
house on Sixth street, and after nearly
violently striking her on the head with a
coal-hammer, he robbed her of nearly 500,
and has not since been heard Of
In addition to these there have been bur-
glaries reported from Magnolia and Six
teenth streets; from Adeline street, near
Sixteenth; from Linden, near Sixteenth,
and the police are working on more that

-Four men are at present in the City
Prison charged with burglary, but against
two only is the evidence in any way posi-

The Italian Cases.
OAKLAND. CAL, Dec. 23.-The exam

are convinced that enough is known in the
Italian quarter to determine the murderer,
but owing to factional hatred no one dare
