Many Letters Of Sympathy Re
ceived by Mrs. Durrant
Daily.
DID NOT DIsPARAGE SERVANTS
One Reason Why Minnie Williams
Entered Emmanuel Baptist
Church.

E'"I am certain Minnie loved Durrant," +"
said Miss Dora Fales, q charming, brown
eyed girl, who was one of the most init
mate friends of the murdered girl.
Il knew her well" she continued, "and
have seen the pair together often at
church, and Judged by their manner that
they were fond of each other. Minnie was
a retiring girl, and it was quite in keeping
with her character that she never spoke,
even to those she knew best, of Theodore
Durrant as her lover. She was not given
to such condolences, and the fact that she
never spoke of ther loverIike relations
proves nothing"
Miss Williams made her home with Miss
Fales' parents for time alter the separa-
ftion of her parents, and, as with all who
knew her, daily association with the un-
fortunate girl inspired the love and conf
dence of all.
minnie was an exceedingly discreet
girl said Miss Fales, land there must
have been some very reasonable induce
ment for her to go to the church that even
ing. l have theory that L believe is cor
rect for that fatal step of hers. Mrs. Cur
ler, Mrs. Vogel's daughter, was i'll
time of the social, and it seems
probable that Durrant told her of that i'll
ness and said the social would be held at
the church instead of the Vogel house.
Under that pretext he might easily have
persuaded her TO go to the church, and
even to enter it, TO await the coming OF the
rest.
Il think it reasonable, too, to suppose
that Durrant's attempt to kill her may
have been unsuccessful at first, for [ know
the little creature was very muscular
and had great powers of endurance
for one seemingly so frail. She
weighed only about ninety bounds, yet
she could lift me without an effort
Miss Fales is inclined to be robust and
leans toward embonpoint, hence this feat
of Miss Williams was no inconsiderable
one for a small woman.
Miss Fales, who lives at 1880 Florida
street, is one of the young people who
attended the social at the Vogel residence
on the evening of the murder and with
whom Durrant walked as far as Twenty
fourth street on Howard.
She recalls that she noticed evidences of
abstraction on his part during the even
ing even while reading his sisters letter.
Il thought he seemed very stupid all
evening"" she remarked.

of every male mem Der in attendance. Pro-
fessor Edwards is the leading spirit in the
society. The dues are trif1ing, amounting
to only about 10 cents month, yet over
80 per cent of the members are in arrears.
Impatient at the continued indifference or
impecuniosity of the students, the pro-
fessor recently decided TO take stringent
measures to fill the athletic treasury, and
he appointed a committee of 100 students,
who we're in good standing, to enforce the
collection. This decisive method met with
considerable quiet grumbling on the part
of the great body of delinquents. This
committee was appointed about a week be-
that number appeared, Professors Ed
wards, Bacon and Soule convened their
junta which has resulted in raising such
storm among the students.
The students are now claiming that II
the Dick Turpin cartoon had been left out
no attention to Winn and his plant would
have been taken by the committee.
The luckless lieutenant had been har-
pooned at for weeks, almost every student
taking hurting thrust at him. The stu
dents also point out that Steele, the man
who drew the cartoon of Edwards, was
suspended to the first of next year. while
Robbins. the business manager, who in
serted the advertisement on Winn, which
has been given out as the animus of the
faculty's action, has only been suspended
for month. They think that is sutfi-
GENTLY significant to show who was really
hurt by the jester.
The student body are in an excitable and
turbulent state over the suspension of
Steele and Robbins. An Indignation meet
ing hes been called for to-day, and it is
expected that the faculty will be roundly
criticized if they refuse to reinstate the
two editors. The students are in bellig-
erent and volcanic mood and are clamorous
for the faculty to reScind their action
Both Steele and Robbins will not be able
to graduate with their respective classes,
if the sentence of suspension is enforced,
and they have said If they could not so
graduate they would never return to the
university.

REHABILITATING THE OYSTER. - Some
months ago there was a hue and cry in
England about the typhoid producing
qualities of the oyster and the palatable
bivalve was for a while under a cloud.
Two English scientists have taken in hand
the task of clearing the oysters character,
which they appear to have done to the
satisfaction of the sympathetic British
public. The oyster was experimental
upon under many trying circumstances.
Deprived of his natural diet of protophyta
and PROTOCOL and fed on sugar, on oat-
meal and flour, he died. Stagnant water
killed him at once, ana he was found to be
greatly Inconvenience by sewage. He
could stand, however, certain degree of
foulness; but preferred ordinary sew
age to that containing typhoid matter.
The crucial test of the oyster
and that in which ne came out most cred
itably, was his behavior in the presence OF
micro-organisms. Though the oyster
would take in as many as 1900 microbes,
he took care that most of them remained
in the pallial cavity, between his real self
and the shell. The typhoid microbe, adj
mitted with the rest, although allowed to
stay for fortnight, was not permitted TO
propagate. But even if the oyster has
gone wrong he can redeem himself. Give
him plenty of air and salt water to wash
himself out with and he will shed all
microbes. In fact, the French oyster
farmers have already established "basins
OF disagreement" where the oyster is en-
couraged to cleanse himself, and by the
time ne is ready for the table he is above
suspicion.

DURRANT HAD WON MINNIE WILLIAMS LOVE,

me at the time of the trouble in the Will
liams family that 1 ought to give Minnie a
trial in helping me about the work, but
when l saw the child and noticed how
frail and slight she was | said
she could not endure hard work,
and would have no use for her, as needed
some one strong enough to do the work of
q charwoman. | heard afterward that
she had "place" at Alameda and nat
urally associated her with those clrcum-
stances. So when a lady asked me what
Minnie Williams position was, l answered
She belongs to the servant class, be-
lieve.'
That is the answer any one with my
limited acquaintance with her affairs
might have made. have no foolish ideas
of the sort with which i have been cred
tied, and if Theo had shown any DISPOSE
tion to pay her attention l would not have
made the slightest objection"

A TALK-METER WANTED.-The man who
wishes to take short cut to fame and for
tune has now the chance of his life before
him. The crying need in the telephone
business is a talk-meter, an automatic ar
rangement by which language can be
measured off and recorded in specific
lengths. The telephone exchange people
say that the trouble is not confined to one
sex. The sound of their voices in the tele-
phone transmitter has for some people a
great fascination, and they will be ringing
up central" all day if they can find the
most trivial pretext. The telephone COM
panies say that in this way large amount
of work is unduly thrown on the ex-
change employees. They hold that the
fault is with the system, and that if
people could be made to paw accord
ing to the number and length of their
calls, they would make more temperate
and legitimate use of the instrument.
Philadelphia is approaching the idea. The
Bell Telephone Company there gives what
is called measured service, the measure
Hent" being determined by the number of
calls or connections, each five minutes con-
versation, or fraction thereof, being counted
a call. This gives subscribers rates in pro-
portion to the use of their instruments.
Some such method as this Will have to
come into general use if the abuse of the
telephone is to be arrested. Seven hundred
and fifty million telephone messages were
sent over the wires last year, averaging
about ten messages to every man, woman
and child in the United States. Telegrams
never exceeded one per head per year.

Anniversary.
Ceremony at st. Boniface's Church
Followed by a Brilliant
Reception.

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Herman Donks of
3391a Hayes street celebrated their golden
wedding yesterday, and the festivities of
the day were en- joyed by four generations
The ceremony occurred at st. Boniface's s
German Catholic) Church on Golden Gate
avenue, between Jones and Leavenworth
streets, IN the morning, a solemn high
mass being celebrated by Rev. Maximilian
Neumann of the Franciscan fathers, as
sisted by Fathers Athanatius and Ed
mund. The church was most beautifully
decorated with green and gold and a pro-
fusion of chrysanthemums. After the
ceremony the four generations enioyed a
sumptuous breakfast at thei residence of
Mr.. Donks, which is at the corner of HAYES
and Cough streets. Like the church. the
home was also decorated in green and
gold.
TheHeast of the day occurred during the
evening at California Hall on Bush street.
All the living descendants of Mr. and Mrs.
Donks were there, and host of friends
besides. About $50 covers were laid at the
banquet.
From morning until late at night the
four generations rejoiced. 1t was pleas
ing picture they presented, from the
white-haired great grandparents TO the
four bright-eyed great-grandchildren at
grandchildren is Henrietta, the two
month-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry J. Mibach. These four great
grandchildren are the two sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Eckart and the two daughters
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Mibach.
Counting the four generations, there
were present twenty-five descendants of
their two daughters, Mrs. +. L. Guntz and
Mrs. Clara Reich dressed in black and
gold; next the sixteen grandchildren,
mostly in gold and finally the wee folk in
white. Both Mrs. Eckart ard Mrs. Mi
bach are daughters OF Mr.. and Mrs. F. L..
Guntz.
During the reception and dinner at Cali
fornia Hall addresses of congratulation
were made by Professor Van der Naillen,
Karl MoritZen, Jacob Denzler, Henry
Budde of California Volksfreund, DR..
Moore OF Oakland and others, and fire.
quent songs were rendered by the double
quartet of the ST. Pau's German Benevo-
lent Society. Herr Kayser read an illumi-
mated congratulation framed with gold,
and presented it to the beaming couple to
whom the honors were being done.
The presents were very profuse, con-
sisting mostly of urns, bracelets, souvenirs,
spoons, tableware and souvenirs of gold.
Mr. and Mrs. f. L. Guntz gave diamond
and pearl pin; Mr.. and Mrs. Eckart, gold
vase, MT. ana MIS-. MlDach, diamond
stud; Mr.. and Mrs. Reich, diamond cuff
buttons; the Guntz grandchildren, gold
tray; the children of Mr.. and Mrs. +. X.

good things that are yet to remind Mr. and
Mrs. Donks of their golden wedding.
Mr.. Donks came to this City in 1857 with
his wife, whom, as Johanna Geiseke, he
married in Berlin. He has paid a visit to
Germany since.

The VENTILATION AND SANITARY SYSTEM
OF RAILWAY CARs.-Professor S. III. Wood
bridge says that ventilation in railway cars

direction of the wind; but the public will
be much worse off in this respect within
the next few years unless the railway COM
panies are compelled to take proper steps

speed IN railroad service will soon cause a

SMALL F1 RMS.

The Maine farmer, in an article on
Chinese husbandry, deduces some con-
illusions III regard to the economy of
small farms.
|. The term small farms NAV need
some publication. In France the ma
jority of farms do not average more
than five acres each: but here farm
of fifty to seventv-five acres would be
called a small farm. And we belive
there is more profit IN working farm
of this size, considering the expenses
attendant upon it, than carrying on Il
farm Of three hundred acres. Eventual
" all our farms will be reduced IN size,
partly for the purpose of conducting
them to more profit, and partly be-
cause agriculture will ultimately be
the leading profession engaged in.
2. We learn another lesson from
their methods OF saving tertilizing
materials to apply to the soul-a lesson
of the greatest Importance and one
which we could use to good advantage.
We're the samr ecouomy in saving
manure practiced here as is common
IN China we could support popula.
ton donble our present number, send
men nough to war to whip England
and France, pay all our taxes and
leave everybody rich.
3. In the application of manure
and irrigation, anotoer lesson is taught
us. There is no doubt that manure
in a liquid form is the best food for
plants that can be applied. 1t comes
IN direct contact with the roo'lets, and
in a form readily to be available for
their growth. The more liquid manare
we use. and the more irrigation is
practiced - when practicable - the
greater will be oar corps and the more
sure our success.
