OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, /,


90S Broadway, Aug. 26.
A dispatch from the California and Oak
land communicates, Knights Templar, was
received at Livermore stating in brief
terms that the 10000 bottles OF Livermore
Valley wine for distribution on California
day at the conclave might not be suffi-
Gent and that it is probable more would
be required before the pilgrimage is con-
Guided. The dispatch also stated that
each bottle was proving an advertisement
of the best kind for Alameda County, as
the opinion expressed regarding it was
highly favorable.
The order for the wine was the largest
ever received in the Livermore Valley, and
it require large baggage-car to transport
it, as the consignment weighed twelve
TONS All the bottles were pints, and each
one was enclosed in a fancy paper box,
which is placed in the center of small bas-
kets of fruit, the whole being given away
by the Templars as souvenirs of the con-
clave at Boston. Around the neck of each
bottle is label with the following couplet:

Are safely housed in every drop of wine.

cases of Livermore Valley wine. to be dis
tributed as souvenirs, and all are being
distributed among the class of people
whom it is desired that the wine shall
reach. Livermore Valley expects to derive
lasting benefit from the novel souvenirs
being distributed by the knights.

RESCUED BY A KAAPSACK,
Narrow Escape of "Baron !"
Baroteau in the Fort Point
Breakers.
NEARLY MET A SEALS FATE.
Taken Into an italian Fishing-Boat
After Barely Escaping a
Spear.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,l
90S Broadway, August 26.
While ACCEPTING an invitation from
Mayor Sutro to visit his baths and mu-
scum yesterday Alfred Baroteau, the Oak
land politician, met with an adventure
that will hereafter constitute sensational
chapter in the history of his life. Mr..
Baroteau was accompanied by N. P. Jen-
sen, Broadway merchant, and after in
specting the museum proposal was made
patronize the baths. AS they were not
in condition for use it was decided that the
party, now REINFORCED by couple of
drummers, should take dip in the briny
at Fort Point. The quartet returned to
their carriage and off they started.
Baron Baroteau, as he is known on his
native European soil, has an established
reputation as a swimmer. 1t is matter
of history that the Baron offered Louis
Napoleon to swim in the vanguard of the
French army, in their contemplated inva-
sion of England, from Calais to Dover.
But although the Baron does not claim
that on that occasion he acted in good
faith, he has, since coming to this country,
won medals that tell their own tale.
Yesterday afternoon he did not tell his
friends that he knew anything OF the
nataterial art, but they soon saw they
could not compete with him. They pro-

cured piece of cork, and making bets on
the Baron's ability to catch it in certain
time, threw it in the waves and Baroteau
made dive for it. The cork caught on to
the top of an outgoing wave and swiftly
proceeded seward The Baron swan like
a Fiji Islander, but the tide was stronger
than he. However, after long struggle
he managed to catch the cork. He tossed
it in the air and proceeded to return, but
the tide was too strong for him. His
friends cheered him on, but without avail,
the fast receding tide carrying him further
from them at every stroke.
Without doubt Baroteau was in serious
predicament, and as darkness was coming
on, his friends were alarmed. Finally,
Jensen rushed to the fort, and after ex-
planning his mission to a sentinel, he sue
ceeded in getting knapsack and a coil of
small rope, with which he FASTENED back
to the rescue.
The rope was hitched to the knapsack,
which was thrown out as far as possible in
the direction of Baroteau. The Baron
exerted himself supremely and at last
caught on to the rope. He helloed to his
friends that he could hold his own till
they could get boat, so two of them
started to look for boat. Then it became
too dark for Jensen TO see his friend in the
breakers.
About half an hour later Baroteau heard
boat approaching. Turning his head. he
saw all italian fishing boat bearing down
on him. Standing in the bow, with a spear
ready to hurl was fisherman. AS the
boat approached Baroteau yelled some
thing IN French. The fisherman dropped
his spear, the boat luffed up into the wind
and Baroteau was dragged aboard, as
boat an said to him:
what for you play seal, hey?"
few minutes later Baroteau was taken
into the boat procured by his friends and
after settling with his Italian rescuers he
dressed on the beach and returned to Oak
land.
He was around to-day telling the story
to his friends.

TRAMPS' ALLEY DESERTED
Effect of the New Fee Bill With
Alameda County Con-
stables.
Only Half the Usual Number Of
Knights of the Road
Arrested.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, !
908 Broadway, Aug. 26. (

SOo broadway, Aug. 70.
Alameda County Jail has for several
weeks past entertained an average of fifty
prisoners. The usual average is one hum
dred. The difference is the direct result of
the new fee BILL which limits the salary of
a Constable to $1,000 year for criminal
business.
Last year the amount paid out to Justices
and Constables in Alameda County was
$3S. 0O0 At the present rate it will not ex-
coed $4,000 by the end of the year.
The difference, however, does not repre-
sent the amount saved to the county by
the new BILL as the cost of the prisoners
boara at the County Jail is an item of some
magnitude when added up for year.
Several Constables have put in claims
that are larger than the law allows, but
the Treasurer has refused to pay them and
the matter is now before the Supreme
Court, which tribunal will pass on the con-
stitutionality of the act. For that purpose
all the Constables in the State contributed
toward a general fund and formulated a
test case. On account of its being the ter
minus of great railroad system Alameda
County has always been harvest field for
tramps, and the fabulous fees made by
Constables have caused these offices to be
as much sought after as those of judges
and county officials. Crowds of young
men have been arrested "just over the city
boundary near the Sixteenth-street depot
so as to be the lawful prey of the
township constables. In many instances
it has been proved that the city boun-
Diary is an elastic quantity when
being surveyed by a Constable out man

tees have summary dismissed cases be-

is located in one of the healthiest spots OF
this healthy locality. 1t contains eight
large classrooms besides all the necessary
locker and lavatory conveniences that
should have place in modern frst-class

The ventilation and sanitary arrange

tific principles, and while all these points
have been fully considered the architec-

The school is surrounded by ample
grounds and it is a handsome addition to
the many elegant buildings in the district.
There are many signs of improvement
at present in Fruitvale, and much build
ing is going on. The re-establishment of
the local postoffice is source of much
qualification to the residents, and the
building of the new electric road to Liver

ress. The new Vandercook line starts at
Fruitvale, and the travel through the dis
trict will call much attention to the thriv-
ing section east of Oakland.
