HE DID NOT WANT HER,
How an italian Newspaper Located
Rosario PaganO's Recreant
Husband.

The Italian colony of San Francisco felt
considerable interest in case which was
telegraphed from New York laat week, and
it is now announced that their interest
has been followed by practical results.
The case was that of Rosario Pagano. a
poor Italian woman. who arrived in New
York with two children. intending to pro-
coed to San Francisco to rejoin her hus-
band, who had abandoned her some time
previously.
The emigration bureau of New York
telegraphed three times to the authorities
of San Francisco for news of Pagano, who
had assumed the name of Braccio Zelata.
No satisfactory news being received in re-
ply to these kilograms the authorities
would not permit the woman ana her
children to proceed on their journey, and
were making arrangements to expatriate
them.
When this news was received, the San
Francisco journal L'Italia appealed to its
readers for information respecting the
recreant husband.
A couple of hours after the paper had
gone from press two subscribers arrived
with the required information. Braccio

OAKLAND'S ASSESSMENTS,
Valuable Waterfront Lands
Are Not on the Rolls
This Year.
Ferry Boats Valuation Raised
The Telephone Company
Paid Up,

For the first time in the history of Oak
land the waterfront lands of the CITY have
been left out of the Assessor rolls, and
the Southern Pacific Company will not
bear the burden of the taxation on them
for the present year. Assessor Dalton,
after much consulting of authorities and
attorneys, arrived at the conclusion yester-
day that the waterfront lands belong to
the city of Oakland, and to assess them to
any one else would be creating false i'm
preston in the public mind which might
jeopardize the city's chances of eventually
recovering its own. Consequently the
lands which are worth million though
only assessed last year for $157 900, Will
not be subject to taxes for 1895.
Assessor Dalton's act in refusing to as
sess the property is significant, in view Of
the fact that the case of the city of Oak
land VS.. the Waterfront Company, involv-
ing the property, is now in Judge Ogden IS
hands for decision and an opinion is ex-
pected at almost my moment.
While the Southern Pacific Company
will not pay assessments on the water
front, it will more than make up the diff
ference in what it will be compelled to pay
on its ferIy-boats. Assessor Dalton had
several men at work figuring on these YES
sells for some time past, and the result of
their labors, as verified by the Assessor
himself, was as follows:
Piedmont, formerly assessed on a valuation
of $40 900, raised to 500, 900.
Oakland, formerly $14, 700, raised to Soc. 900.
Thoroughfare, formerly $1,000 raised to
$4,000.
Transit, formerly ST. 200, raised to SAC. 900.
ElCapitan, formerly $4,000, raised to $50 900.
Alameda, formerly $500, raised to $50, 800
The boats of the South Pacific Coast
Railroad Company were also raised ma
terially.
The Newark was raised from 81 800 to
S35, 900; Bay City, from $11 800 to S35 900 !;
Encina, from Sill 800 to $35, 900; Garden
City, from $4,000 to $50, 900.
The total raise on ferry boats amounted
to $234,650.
Assessor Dalton rather expects a battle
on these figures when they come before the
Board of Equalization, but he has fortified
himself with figures and data which he be-
lieves will convince any fair board that
while his raises are very substantial thew
are not more than just and should be
maintained.
The telephone company was notified of
the raise in its assessment yesterday. and
to Mr.. Dalton's surprise at once sent a
check for $1723 80, the full amount of the
increased taxes.

Zelata had been located at Is Jasper place,
between Union and Filbert streets, and
was making living by selling onions.
L'Italia at once telegraphed the news to
New York, and yesterday morning il was
known that Rosario Pagano might proceed
at once to San Francisco.
The husband has not only refused to
send money for the journey, but has also
shown himself strongly opposed to receiv-
ing a visit from his wife. Rosario, how
ever, has insisted on setting out, for one
reason, because she has been informed
that her husband is living with another
womau. The authorities in San Francisco
are keeping an eye on Braccio Zelata, alias
Pagano, to see that he does not escape be-
fore the arrival of his family.

THE SACRED HEART FEAST,
1t Was Observed in Many of the
Catholic Churches Yes
terday.
League of Twenty Millions
of People.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
| was yesterday made the occasion of conse-
Grafton and devotional services in many of
the Catholic churches.
In all of the churches where the League
of the Sacred Heart has centers high mass
was celebrated at the morning service, fol-
lowed in the afternoon by conservation
exercises, when many children of the as
sociates were received into the order. At
ST. Agnes Church a new center of the
league was established, and at st. Ignatius
Father Woods read the conservation SER
vice for forty children in the morning i'm
mediately following high mass, and as
many more attended the afternoon cere-
monies, which were of like character.
Fitting observances of the day were
also held at st. Peters, st. Francis, st.
Rose, st. Brendan's, st. Charles Borromeo,
st. James, Holy Cross ST. Patrick's of
Oakland and ST. Joseph's of Alameda.
Observance of the Feast of the Sacred
Heart OF Jesus dates back to the seven
teenth century, when it was revealed to
Blessed Margaret Mary Alacogne, a nun of
the Visitation Order, founded by ST.
Francis de Sales as the devotion destined
by Divine Providence to restore Christian
piety in the days when faith and charity
seemed to be growing cold.

numbers to-day about 20, 600 600 associates
in all parts of the world. Wherever
Christianity is taught there also NAV be
found devoted members of the great
league. Its publications are found in fifty
languages and dialects, and associates in
the United States number little over
2 DOC, 000 of which the State of California
has $4,000. Within the past two or three
years special efforts have been made on
the part of the clergy to extend the work
of the league, and the success with which
these efforts have been rewarded makes it
probable that within the next year everv
Catholic church in the State will have
adopted this important djunct of Christian
work and established what are known in
the league as centers.

BERKELEY,

The William and Alice Hinckley scholar
ship, yielding a revenue of $500 annually,
has been awarded for four years by the
trustees of the fund to Horatio Stebbins
Jr., son of Rev. Horatio Stebbins, pastor
of the First Unitarian Church. San Fran
cisco. This is the first time since the
scholarship was founded that it has been
awarded to any student not an upper class
man in the university, but the son of DR..
Stebbins, who will enter with the class OF
49, will have the benefit from the fund
throughout his college course.
There is considerable feeling among
those who know of the award against its
being rendered to the son of DR.. Stebbins
since it is claimed that the purpose of the
fund was to defray the expenses of some
student who could not attend a school o,
college in the State without such assist
anee. The right of the trustees to grant
the scholarship to whomever they choose
is not questioned so much as the consist
ency Of DIR. Stebbins in accepting for his
son this sum of money and at the same
time arguing in favor of tuition fee at
the university, which IN itself would be q
barrier to many prospective students. The
trustees of the fund are; Hon. Horace
Davis, G. A. Murdoch, ]. S. Bunnell, DIR.
Stebbins and Messrs. Bonestell, Sims and
Jackson.

club to transform the former dance hall
into a well-appointed gymnasium, and in
SO during to utilize the apparatus at the
rear of the stage for dressing and store
rooms.
Possession of the new quarters will be
taken on July 1. The club has been organ
lied for about one year and has nearly 100
active members.

TAX RATE FOR NEXT YEAR,
Auditor Frederick Makes His
Official Statement to the
Board.
EYE ON THE DOLLAR LIMIT.
Under Property Valuation Of
$32O,OOO,OOO He Comes Within
the Platform Requirements.

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors did not go into the matter of
the tax levy at its meeting yesterday after
noon as it was expected it would. The
communication from Auditor Broderick,
together with the schedule of assessment,
was received, but not acted upon, as it was
deemed best to allow it all to go through
the regular form of being presented first
to the Board of Supervisors, whence 1t will
be referred to the committee, and they will
then get regularly to work upon it.
In his communication the Auditor states
that according to his estimates the amount
necessary to be raised for running the City
and County government will be 81, 142, 35l
With the 81 $4,000 which can be relied
upon as the revenue from licenses, fees
and other sources the total resources will
be $5,52S, sos, which should, he thinks,
cover the expenses of the fiscal year.
The amount to be raised in excess of
last year according to this estimate is
$Ss5,0O0. The rate he fixes at $1.2945.
In this is not included any of the big
street enterprises. such as those contem-
plated on Van Ness avenue, Folsom and
Market streets, nor the requirements of the
police force recently recommended. He
allows the Street Department only 1927 900
more than it had last year and expresses
the belief that that is enough. He suggests
that in view OF the stringency of monetary
conditions it will be unwise to build the
proposed Kearny-street police court or
to spend money On the dipsomaniac
hospital.
The new engine-houses for the Fire De-
partment are also considered not essential
at this time.
Auditor Broderick, it will be seen, has
an eye on that dollar limit pledge. On a
property valuation of $500, 000,0 600 the total
OF the items to be "a ised under the dollar
| limit, according to party platforms, would
exceed the possibility, but at a valuation of
$500 100000 the result of dollar rate
would be ample. The Auditor figures for
the general, special fee, pound fee, police
and contingent funds the sum of 50, 1853, 720
for the school fund 81 900, 900. for the Street
Department fund $415 900 and for the street.
| light fund $685. For the other funds
| figures are these: Library fund $4,000,
| park improvement fund $500, 900. salary
| fund 1886, 900, interest on new City Hall
! bonds $3.50, interest on park improvement
! bonds SIS, 500, sinking fund for park in
| provement bonds $2S,175 sinking fund for
| park improvement bonds fer 1872 and 1873
$780, for the same for 1873 and 1875
$l1, 100, new City Hall fund $4,000.
| With the so cent State tax the total
| according to the Auditors estimate would
be fraction less than 81 80.
When to this is added, if it is added, the
| figures for the street improvements that
| have already been almost pledged, to-
gether with other obligations, the rate
would be considerably elevated. Here are
q few of the items which must be consid-
cred by the Finance Committee:

ALABAMA VS. GEORGIA.
Northern and Western Immigrants Not Satis- fled With the Selection of Georgia Land.

A large number of the Grand Army Of the Republic people of the north who are coming south are opposed to the selec- tion of the piney woods tract of land in Montgomery county, Georgia. and are determined not to go there under any circumstances. They say that particu- lar location is not suited to them and that the land is too poor. They want to come to Alabama, and a number of let ters in the American Tribune of a recent issue indicate that this state is strongly and generally preferred,
 How Nebraska Sees It.
 The following letter from Mr S. J. An thony, secretary of a large sub-colony in Nebraska, who intended uniting with the Fitzgerald colony, shows that if the peo- pie of Alabama will properly and imme- diately take active steps to present the resources of the state thousands of de- sirable immigrants can be had from Nebraska:
 MT. James F. Slater, Birmingham, Ala, Dear Sir: Your former letter re- ceived in due time, also one of the goth just at hand this evening. I had not written you for the reason we were as yet undecided what we wanted to do. We entered our protest against the selec- tino of the Montgomery county piney woods land in the American Tribune,
 
 Fitzgerald's doings the more confirmed we are in our purpose not to have any thing to do with the colony if that loca- ton is selected. We are awaiting the re- port of the committee before taking final action here. When that is done, if Mont gomery county lands are decided upon, our idea is to cooperate with other sub- colonies in this state, form our organiza- ton and then make a move to secure some suitable location in some southern state. Very low prices and very favor able terms would have to be given us."
 South Dakota Heard From.
 A letter from MT. A. T. Grove of South Dakota, representing a sub-colony of the American Tribune organization of In- dianapolis, Ind, addressed to the presi- dent of the Commercial Association of Alabama, says;
 Will you be kind enough to inform me what inducements are offered to old sol dierS to locate in Alabama? There is a. sub-colony club here of eighty-seven members of the American Tribune organ ization, and the understanding here was that the 000 acre tract of land to be secured was to be somewhere in south Tennessee, northern Georgia or in Ala bama. The editor of the American Tri- bune, the originator of the scheme, has cry county, Georgia, and thinks the offer of 100000 acres at $3.50 per acre. A vote taken by our club resulted solidly against the location, deeming it too far south and being piney woods land,which they consider poor soil and not valua- ble ''
