is thing that am sure the people of this
county will take hold of, and would have done
so before now if they had not been so intensely
interested in the valley road. While u mas
not yet been widely discussed, I have heard
many people speak of it, and all have favored
it and would bond the county to- get 1t. l
talked the other day with man who own as
large amount of land northwest of here and he
said. "Im boulevard man. He was more in
terested in it than in the valley road, and de-
clared that he would give the right OF way
through his property
Such grand driveway would build up the
entire valley. There is no driving out OF san
Francisco now, and it would bring people
down the bay constantly, and clear to San
Jose, just as it would constantly take great
number OF people north from here.
/. Along the whole stretch of country between
here and San Francisco there will, some day,
be one villa after another and the boulevard
would do more than anything else to bring that
about. Thousands of people have heard OF
San Jose because of the Lick Observatory and
its famous drive The boulevard would be
more famous and people. in the East would
say to their friends bound for California:
Don't fail to take in the San Jose boulevard" I"
We have the finest roads in America and
know the people here will favor so great and
valuable an improvement as this.
The value of fine raods to any attractive
region and especially of such rare drive
ways as the boulevard would be and as
the Mount Hamilton road is now, is
slightly illustrated by the recent remarks
of w. NJ. Hahn, secretary of the National
Republican Committee and Insurance Com
missioner of Ohio, who visited San Jose
and its valley few days ago. He said:
Ny wife and enjoyed a trip to Mount Ham
ilton to-day and the opportunity we had to see
the country made the trip quite a revelation
TO us. The trip over the fine grade with its
multitudinous turns was delightful one. A
great advantage California has over Ohio is
the splendid road system. 1t is not to be
wondered at that San Jose is becoming famou S
for bicycle riding and racers. Such roads
never saw before anywhere.
The boulevard was briefly discussed at a
recent meeting of the Board of Trade and
was generally favored.
There is no need, said G.. NJ. Hatcher,
''of neglecting this project because we are
working for the valley railroad. We want
everything good in sight, and this is too
good to let go without an effort"
"Not only will it be great benefit to
the residents along the line, " said Robert
Summers, "but it will be good thing for
every body living in the counties through
which it passes.''
The board decided that it was too early
for definite action, but the project is only
slumbering here for brief time. The ex-
pressions of leading and progressive men
everywhere show that the boulevard pro-
ject will; be taken up enthusiastically here
when the time comes, and that there is
every promise that Santa Clara County
will cordially do its full share toward build
/ ing splendid driveway between the
Golden Gate and the Garden City.

day for. Attorney G.. A: Knight of San
Francisco, lin which it is asked that the
contract marriage between Samuel A.
Beggs of Los Gatos and Ethel NJ. Knowl-
ton of San Francisco be set aside. The
couple were married by contract on July
Is, 1894. The contract is unique docu-
ment, as the parties agree to obey, cherish
and love one another, yet they never were
to. assume any marital rights, duties or
obligations and should never live together
as man and wife,:
t. Ethel NJ: Knowlton is about % years of

and when shewent back. to San Francisco
:she had copyof the contract among her
possessions. Beggs' copy OF the contract
vas destroyed by fire.. He has evidently
tired of such married life and asks the

great annoyance and a restraint to him in
his pursuit of happiness he says. Suit was
brought here TO save publicityof the mat

SAN JOSE WARM IN PRAISE
Endorsement of the Plan by the Pro-
gressive Citizens Of the
:. Garden City.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 1.-Santa Clara
County gives welcome to the boulevard
project. 1t has not yet been popularly
discussed much, for the reason that the
people of San Jose and the county gener-
ally have been so keenly absorbed In the
valley railroad enterprise. The enthusiasm
for the competing road and the anticipa-
tions of a consequent new prosperity are
as great here as at Stockton, and when the
boulevard idea came along in the midst OF
all this railroad hubbub the public-spirited
people all said, eyes, that's grand thing
and we want It," and kept vigorously talk
ing and working for the railroad.
The citizens here who lead popular SEN
timent in public enterprises and work for
them, and the progressive part of the
community, which is large in Santa Clara
County, are all enthusiastically in favor OF
the proposed boulevard. There appears to
be every promise that when the project
progresses little further it will be not
only taken up with enthusiasm here, but
that the section of the splendid driveway
that runs through Santa Clara County will
be the finest part of it. But for the over
shadowing interest in the railroad it would
now be live issue here.
That Santa Clara County should take
hold of such magnificent enterprise is no
more than is to be expected. Everybody
here believes in fine roads, and is willing
to pay for them. The county is proud OF
its roads. and has learned the value oil
them. Its roads are worthy of the rich
and Incompatible region through which
they run. The Santa Clara Valley is as
famous for its roads as for the vast garden
they run through, and the beauty which
nature has created here. They have been
its best advertisement great factor in
its prosperity, and the reason for great
deal of its wealth and population. Tourists
drive for miles in every direction, among
the magnificent orchards, the flowers, the
lovely homes, the fruitful foothills and the
grandeur of the mountains. Everywhere
hey speed over finely macadamized high

The proposition involved: in such a change
is so that all the roads in the immediate
vicinity Of Burlingame will be within the
Second road district, instead. of being di-
vided between the first and second as at
present. It is then thought the road ap-
proaches to Burlingame may be greatly
improved and kept in better repair.

San Luis: Obispo bouncer and the dead
footpad are one and the same person.. :. :. :.
=. The footpad was one of a gang who have
been engaged in, similar. criminal exploits
in this city:for more than week past. On
the night of March 23 ii. w. Edwards, the
yice-president of the Union Savings Bank,
was on his way home to 694 South Second
street and had almost reached: his resi-
dence, when he was suddenly, in. the

While holding pistols upon him they com
PEELED MI" Edwards to give up the contents
of one pocket $S8 in silver. One: of the
robbers made a grab for his watch: but
when he made remonstrance the watch
was put back in its. owners pocket again.
"A search was not made Of his person and
Mr.. Edwards was. fortunate not only in re-
tanning his watch, but also about $50 in
money that was: in another pocket. The
victim acted very good natured during the
t.operation, and after telling him that he
might. pass on the robbers seemed inclined
l:to:apologize for their actions. They said
they could not get work and had not been
able to get anything by begging, so they
! had been compelled, to steal or starve.
They then walked slowly away. The mat
ter was not reported to the police at the
time Shortly before this hold-up the foot
pads had been seen sknlking around by F
IS. Campbell He identified the dead foot
pad as the leader:of the two men who did
the holdup over week ago.

Liberty went ashore on the south beach of
Cuylers Harbor last night. A high gale
was blowing and there was heavy sea in
the harbor, causing her to foul and drag
her anchor. No lives were lost, but the
sloop is a total wreck. The Liberty was
formerly registered at Wilmington and ran
in and out of San Pedro harbor. Five
years ago she became the property of
Captain w. G. Waters, the owner of San
Miguel Island, and has since been used as a
freight boat, plying back and forth between
the island and the mainland. She was a
stanch little craft, splendid sea boat, but
framed for strength and safety rather than
speed.

A GIRL FULL OF SNAKEs.-A dis
patch from Washington, Ca, Gays !:
aFreedmanville, suburb of Washing
ton. is in o state of great excitement
over the remarkable case of Fanny
Heard, a young colored girl. A few
DAYS ago there began to appear in off
ferent parts of the girls body exact rep
reservations of snakes, lizards, turtles,
sheep and tadpoles. Your correspond
emit went to see her yesterday and
found about 500 negroes who We're
greatly excited over the affair. The
girl says she was "tricked" by neigh
Dor who had o grudge against her: she
certainly presents most remarkable
appearance. On one OF her arms there
is an exact representation OF snake
about foot and half long. 1t looks
exactly as if there was real snake
under the skin. All over her body
there are exact shapes of turtles,
lizards and crabs.
Doctors Hill and Simpson, who were
examining the girl, refused to give any
opinion as to the cause of the girls re-
markable condition. The girl is rather
a good.looking mulatto of II or Is
years of age, apparently little above the
average in intelligence. She has been
i'll for the past two or three weeks. she
stated that when these queer signs be-
gan to appear her skin first turnec per-
fectly white, and is that color until the
shapes become we'll defined, and then
begins turning until it gets a good deal
darker than the other parts of herlbody.
The girl says the woman who copjured
her filled her full of reptiles, and that
she can plainly feel them crawling
around under her skin when they first
appear and that after they form they
do not worry her at all.
