AGAINST BIG SLEEVES.
CRUSADE OF A LAyMAs IN A NEW
YORK VILLAGE.
Finds Condemnation In the Bible He
Has Becn shocked Calls the
Pufs Pillows.

New YORK, Aug. 2I.-"And
say, thus saith the Lord God: Woe
to the women that sew pillows on
all armholes. Ezekiel kills.
Armed with this text Justice J.
Catlin aroused the prayer meeting
at the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church in Marion by warning them
that this applied to the prevailing
fashion of big sleeves. What are
the enormous puffs that women
wear but pillows? and what can more
efficaciously arouse righteous
wrath than the abnormal and ex-
treme fashions Of today"
Mr.. Catlin went on to say that
upon entering car not long ago
he was shocked to see what large
sleeves women wore, thereby taxi
ing up the space that belonged to
other passengers, and then he
quoted the Bible verse, much to
the dismay of the women present,
who had smiled incredulously when
he announced that he had scriptur-
al authority for his condemnation
Of the fashion.
IF those women whom l saw in
the street car had read their Bibles, "
he concluded, "they would not be
seen in public places in such attire. >
The women members had lively
discussion Of the subject after the
meeting, and those who adhered TO
the fashion agreed that Brother
Catlin had no business to bring up
such matter in such a place.
The elder Catlin, one of four
brothers, wko are all employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, eight
years ago in attempting the rescue
of young woman from in front of
the express train received injuries
on the head which affected his
brain, and his popularity has taken
the form Of over wrought religious
interest. When not at work he
pores over his Bible night and day
and attends religious meetings of
every kind, from Salvation Army
to the Episcopal service.

There is play running on the New

woman in the character of q western
sheriff. The author of that play probably
did not know that there is in real life a
western woman who is sheriff, at least
a deputy sheriff. She is Miss May Simp-
son of San Francisco. She has been pc
culiarly successful in managing insane
persons, and large part of her duties
consists in conducting insane women
from the court to the asylum. In the
performance of this sometimes danger
Gus task she is singularly successful.

HOW TIME WAS EXTENDED
An Occasion When Mr.. More
house Obeyed an Order
Over a Telephone.
EQUALIZATION FARCE.
A Hurried Extension Granted the
Alameda County Board Last
Year.

The extension Of time to the Alameda
County Board of Equalization that was
partially argued before Judge Ellsworth
yesterday, touching its legality. is not the
only occasion on which Mr.. Morehouse
has acted for the State board. The story
of the extension granted the county board
last year was recalled yesterday, and shows
how very little formality Is required for
interested parties to obtain an extension.
The story has never before been published.
When the time within which the county
board could sit as Board of Equalization
last year had nearly expired a complaint
was made by taxpayer against the as
sessment of the telephone company. The
complaint was not made till the eleventh
hour, and as no notice had to be served on
the telephone company an extension of
time was absolutely necessary if the COM
pany's assessment was to be raised. The
applicant stated that his desire for as
sessing the company higher was because
of personal trouble with the company.
pany, and Ben Morgan, Populist
attorney of Berkeley, made their
arrangements against and for the
proposed increase, but their disposition to
argue carried the session to a late hour.
1t was after P. NJ. and the State board at
Sacramento had gone home. But some
thing had to be done, so at 6P. NJ. the board
adjourned till s P. NJ. The life of the
county board expired at midnight and
Secretary Morgan had not been given the
required time allowed by law, and de-
manded it. The telephone was put in
operation and it was found that the State
board had all left the Capitol, but that Mr..
Morehouse could be found at the Golden
Eagle.
Mr. Morehouse was finally got to the
hotel telephone and told that he must grant
the Alameda County board an extension
Of time and that he must send telegram
to the clerk of the board at once. He was
told that several OF, his friends in Oakland
demanded the extension and did not take
the trouble to ask who was talking to him.
Had he done SO he would have discovered
that he was receiving his orders from a
newspaper reporter.
When the board met at P. NJ tele-
gram was read by Clerk Crane granting
the Alameda County board an extension
of ten days. The message also contained
the news that the written authorization
would be received next day. Mr.. More
house acted for the board and told them
the next morning what he had done. In
the end the telephone mpany's assess
ment was doubled, and the petitioner told
the board that since his personal difficulty
with the telephone company was fixed up
he did not feel so badly toward it.
The legality of this years extension will
be further considered before Judge Els
worth tomorrow morning.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Lady Douglass Wishes to At
tend the High School as
a Pupil.
TO FINISH HER EDUCATION.
The Town Has OutgroWn Its High
School, Which VIII Have to
Be Enlarged.

Lady Sholto Douglass wishes to so to
school again. With elevation in social
rank her ladyship is no longer content with
the simple knowledge of grammar-school
pupil. TO be sure she sings nicely and
knows just little something of music
all in the way of accomplishment now
but these are not enough for lady of a
noble English house. She must know a
modern language or two; must work up to
that point where education leads to appre
citation of the fine arts and the refinement
it brings, and must become familiar with
literature, history, grammar. geography,
spelling and the rest.
To begin with Lady Douglass desires to
start out one step higher than where she
left off, and with that end in view has
made application to Principal Scott of the
Alameda High School for admission as
pupil.
Lady Douglass does not care for the con-
yentionalities, nor has she much anxiety
to mix in society of any kind beyond her
own little family circle. A cottage in Ala
media with her youthful lord and few
intimate friends are quite enough for the
sensible young woman, and she has con-
Guided to finish her education. She re-
ceived all the advantages that a grammar
grade school can give, and shows her good
sense in continuing in the high school of
Alameda.
Her Iadyship has not yet been enrolled,
as there exists doubt in the mind of the
principal about the eligibility OF married
woman to enter the school, and her appli-
cation has been referred to Superintendent
Sullivan, who has taken the matter under
advisement.
The applicatiOn of Lady DOucIass raises
a question which probably has not yet
been passed upon, whether a married
woman can attend public school. The case
is believed to be without parallel in this
State, especially where the identity of the
marriage is known and no attempt is made
at secrecy.
The school laws refer only to pupils and
school children, prescribing their ages for
the various grades. Lady Douglass might
be admitted to the High School under the
age limitation, but it is not apparent how
she can be received as married woman.
High School Crowded.
The number of pupils at the High School
is AS, being fifteen more than at the close
of the previous term. Principal Scott de-
clares that the school is uncomfortably
crowded and he is in quandary what to
do with all of the pupils. The junior A
class is the largest in the history OF the
school, there being fifty pupils. The class
has been divided into two sections that
proper attention and supervision may be
given by the corps of teachers.
The Haight School, which is in the
same building, had 40 pupils enrolled
Friday. making total OF 585 accommo-
dated IN the same building, and more are
to follow. Notwithstanding this large
number about forty pupils have been sent

to the Porter School on account of a
change in the dividing line between the
Haight and Porter districts.
Principal Scott anticipates about 100
more pupils clamoring for admission to-
morrow.
1t has been found necessary to dismiss
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades

when it is expected that the new building
will be completed.

The members of Unity Circle of the
First Unitarian Church are arranging for

The suit of Judge A. B. Hunt against H.
G.. Garlock to recover $40 attorneys fees
was compromised yesterday afternoon in
the Justice Court after the talesmen had
taken their seats for examination as to
their competency. Judge Hunt agreed to
take $45, each side to pay its own costs,
and judgment was accordingly entered.

that this hard rock is not the thing at all
for macadam pavements, because it will
not amalgamate at all, and forever re-
mains loose stone road. But he put this
Rather test requirement into the specifica-
tons just the same, because he was re-
euired to do so by the men in the board
who had the job TO put through.
So that for every two yards of street of
whatever kind that is laid in this City the
people are taxed 60 cents above the prices
that prevailed before corrupt majority of
the Board of Supervisors fixed upon them
this in famous monopoly.
Byron Diggins of Diggins Bros, pro-
prietors of the Flint Tract quarry, is one
of the people who says that even the GRAY
Bros blue rock will not stand this Rather
test.
1.-THE way they manage it is this" he
said in an interview yesterday. "They
pick out some samples Of especially hard
rock, trim them up file off the edges and
in that shape run it through the machine.
I saw such batch that barely passed the
test. Now, the specifications say that the
rock used must be OF character to pass
this test-not selected samples filed into
cubes These specifications were gotten
up to create monopoly, and they have
done it. My work that has stood the test
of time and that has gone into some of the
best paved streets in the City. that is used
in the foundations or the City Hall, the
Mills building and many other of the
heaviest structures in town, is barred out
of the streets because 1t won't stand this
test 1t is fraud and an outrage
Nathan Croker, one of the jurors chosen
to try the Durrant case, when questioned
under oath the other day as to his business
said that he was the owner of stone
quarry and that the Rather test had prac-
t1cally driven him out of business. His
rock was formerly used in the streets in
large quantities. Now none of it is used.
The streets of San Francisco should be
built IN the very best manner and of the
very best materials.
Ii the quarries afford nothing suitable
for the purpose but Gray Bros blue rock
then that should be purchased. But in
that case the Supervisors should not pay
60 cents per load more than other people
can buy the rock for.
But it is not true that this is the only
suitable rock. On the contrary, this rock
is not at all suitable for macadam roads,
and yet the people of Richmond and the
vicinity of Corbett road ask in vain to be
allowed to use rock which is suitable and
which they can secure in their immediate
neighborhood for Is cents load The
Rather test should be done away with.

LIVELY DEAL IN REALTY,
Archbishop Riordan Wanted
Smell Seminary for Cath
Ole School,.
Members of DR.. McLean's Church
Put Up Thirty Thousand Dol
lars in Hurry.

The deals in land on the block where the
First Congregational Church stands have
caused to be made public the story of the
hurried manner in which the Smell Semi
nary property changed hands last Septem-
Der.
The property had been inspected by
Archbishop Riordan, who had for some
time been anxious to establish a Catholic
institution on this side of the bay. The
property satisfied the Archbishop and he
expressed his desire to purchase it for the
purpose of converting the seminary into a
Catholic school. The deal, however, was
not closed when Messrs. Benham &
Thomas heard of it and decided to secure
the property, If possible, on behalf of the
Congregational church. Reed & Miller
held trust deed to the property, and
Messrs. Benham q Thomas, both men,
bers of the church, secured an option on it
at $4,000. This was on Wednesday, and
the option only held good if $40, 600 was
paid in cash by the following Saturday.
There was some lively skirmishing
among the wealthy members of the First
Congregational Church for funds, and
at 20 A. NJ. Saturday the first payment
was made into a San Francisco bank
The other two payments were made in
the allotted time and the transaction
entirely closed. The greater part OF the
property now stands in the name of the
church.
The plan in view is to move the school
building off, transfer the church building
to that part of the block and sell for
business purposes the land upon which the
church now stands. The estimated cost of
moving the church and replacing it upon
a solid brick foundation is 5000. A cash
offer of SAC, 900 has been made the trustees
for plat of land 100 feet square facing on
Thirteenth and Clay streets,
