1t is proposed to get up subscription
theater excursions to Kansas City this
winter to see the best things that will be
brought to the theaters there. 1t is
thought that at least 3 % subscriptions
can be secured, which will insure d round
trip rate of 81.
The excursion cars going down will
leave Topeka attached to the 4:4O Santa

generally leaves the dining room before
the others have completed their lunch,
and as he goes to his Office he usually
informs some member Of the staff that
he would like to confer with him after
lunch upon some special matter. AS q

He looks over the mail himself, dictates
a great number of the necessary replies
to letters, receives reports from heads Of
departments and examines plans and
business propositions. Then he ofttimes

devotes some part Of the morning to the
shops Or the yards. Besides he sees
some, but not all, of the visitors.
Visitors at that establishment are Of

times number hundreds in single day,

it should not be surprising, in view of

1t was announced last fall that wealthy
Frenchman who had visited this coast and
became interested in its future, had left on
his death, a bequest whose income should be
put into a 500 gold medal, to be competed
for by the two universities on this coast.
The only restriction was that the subject
should deal with French affairs. A Joint
committee was appointed by the presi-
dents of the two universities, consisting of
Professors Ross and Lathrop of Stanford,
and Professors Gayiey and Bacon of the
University of California, this committee
to make the rules governing the contests
for the Carnot medaille. AS a result the
committee have set April 5, 1896, as the
time for the first debate. The place will
be Palo Alto this year. The subject to be
debated is, .Was Casimer-Perier Justified
in Resigning the Presidency" Only I'M
dergraduates can participate.
Three speakers will be chosen from each
college, but each will speak as an individ-
ual and not as one of debating team. No
one will know on which side he is to speak
until the day preceding the contest. The
speech must not be from manuscript
and can be but fifteen minutes in
length. In determining the award, excel
lence in reasoning, scholarship, style and
delivery will be considered. The speakers
for the Stanford side have already been
chosen. Those of the University of Cali

lighted.

On Thursday evening of this week the
wedding of Rev. Henry Borradaile Collier,
rector of the Church of the Advent, with
Miss Mary Alice McRoberts, daughter of
William S. McRoberts, pioneer resident
of this city, viii take place with all the
accomplishments of a splendid choral ser
vice and the attendance of high ecclesiasti-
cal dignitaries.
The wedding will be solemnized at the
Church of the Advent at $50 o'clock in the
evening by the Bishop of the diocese,
assisted by Rev. E. B. Spaulding, D. D.,
and Rev. Henry B. Monges, the assistant
rector. The full-robed choir OF men and
boys will sing appropriate selections under
the direction of Professor Dadswel, the
organist.
The wedding viii pc tull-dress affair,
the costume of the bride being white satin,
with train trimmed with clouds of lace.
The bridesmaids are to be Miss Bertha
Wadhams, an intimate friend of the bride,
who viii be robed in pale-blue silk; and
Miss Zarifa Howe of Sonoma, whose dress

will be of pink silk. Two misses, Eva
Howe and Armentine Monges, are to Off
oiate as white-robed hower-girls. The
bridesmaids are to be attended by Messrs
Edward Morris and Arthios Dodge, and
others of the brides friends viii act as
ushers. The congregation of the church
are deeply interested in the approaching
nuptials and are one and all engaged in
preparations for decorating the church
edifce which, it is pronounced, will be in
the most lavish and elegant style possible.
With the hundreds OF electric lights and
splendid music and flowers the wedding
promises to be one of the most attractive
of any that has taken place during the
season.
After the wedding the bride and groom
will proceed to the Occidental Hotel, where
a wedding feast Will be served. Only very
few intimate friends will be present at
the hotel. A short wedding trip will be
taken, but the location is resolutely con-
cealed. The approaching season of Lent
obliges the return of the rector to his
charge at an early day, and necessitates
that a visit to England, where the BRIDE
groom's friends reside and which was to be
the intended wedding trip, should be de-
ferred.
The Rev. Henry B. Collier has been
resident of this city for about year, COM
ing here4in response to an urgent call from
the Church of the Advent to be its rector.
He has labored with great success, restor-
ing the wasted energies of the church and
uniting the people in a remarkable degree.
Before accepting his present charge he Off
ciated at Spokane, Wash, with marked ac-
ceptance. He is said to be a clergyman
who never tires, and his ministrations in
his present change have been constant,
elf-sacriicing and untiring. 1t is under
stood, however, in church circles that Rev.
Mr.. Collier seeks a change and has already
rendered his resignation to the vestry, who
have urgently requested him to reconsider,
but without success. Rev. Mr.. Collier will,
however, remain through Lent and proba-
bly, for some time afterward.
The bride, Mary Alice McRoberts, is
charming in every respect; she is beauti-
full, accomplished and amiable, and has
always been the delight of her own home.
Her father will be remembered as an at
tache of the Custom house, holding an
important position for eighteen years.
Already presents of great value and
beauty have begun to shower upon the
happy couple from every direction. 1t is
understood that the church as a whole
will distinguish itself in the generosity of

the unterrifed in some other part of the
country win victory. In this campaign
they are just as demure as usual, perhaps
littleI more so, for the expected few
crumbs at the last election and were dis
appointed. However, a Democratic move
has been made. A circular has been issued
by G. l.. Dam of the city central commit
tee asking that the committee assemble at
the lawrooms of R. M. Fitzgerald at 8541@
Broadway, on Wednesday night to discuss
the situation. The party may make no
nominations at all.
The Postofice BurgIsrized.
Sunday morning early the Postoffice
was entered by burglars and about $500 in
stamps and money was taken.
Entrance was effected by the use of a
jimmy, as the marks of that implement
can be plainly seen upon all the front doors
of the building.
After opening the outside door the gen.
eral-delivery window was forced, and the
thief or thieves proceeded to gather in
everything in sight.
The cash-draWer of Clancy Mcdonald
was robbed of $75, and the balance was
taken from the department OF Charles

Footpads Again at Work.
The dark places are again becoming I'M

town.
On Saturday night at 8 o'clock Mrs. Ed
Wilson, living at 762 Brush street, was
going to her home, and when near Sixth
and Brush streets two men stepped out of
the darkness and grabbed her. She had
the forethought to slip her purse into her
sleeve, and as soon as she felt herself
clutched she began screaming loudly. This
had the effect of soaring the thieves away.
Returned to Her Parents.
Little Alva Pablo has been returned to
her parents. Alva is little Italian girl,
who, about two weeks ago, entered Sacred
Heart Convent and stole therefrom several
silver vases. She was taken to the City
Prison and locked up. 1t was thought
best to send her to Whittier, but the girls
parents made a strong plea to the Judge
to have the child released and it was de-
cided to let Alva go for thirty days on her
good behavior.

SAID He WAS HELD Up.
A Young Man From Nevada Who
Fought q Footpad.

Fought Footpad.
Benjamin Franklin Banks of 11L Fulton
street told the police yesterday he had
been robbed of SIS by two footpads early
Sunday morning, but the police have come
to the conclusion that Benjamin Franklin
is not as close an adherer TO the truth as
his namesake.
Banks, who is a young man, says he
came from Nevada few weeks ago and is
not very well acquainted with the streets
of the city. He is. studying teIegraphy at
$40 Clay street and proposes to make that
his occupation. Saturday night he was
downtown until midnight, when he started
out Market street to his room. He be-
came somewhat muddled and wandered
out through Hayes Valley, when he was
startled by an order to throw up his hands.
According to his story to Detective Cody
he refused to comply with the demand
and Immediately proceeded to annihilate
the would-be robber. With one blow he
knocked his man down, and started to
dance jig upon the PROSTATE form to the
tune of his victims groans. The regular
dime-noyel whistle OF the villain was given
by the robber, and, according to custom,
his ''paF put in an appearance and began
carving Benjamin Franklin with a dirk
knife. He exhibited his coat and vest as
tNlutHCc Vi VIC HtuL1SAOuS AheSnb VI HIS do
sailants and explained that notebook in
his inside pocket had stopped the knife
and saved his life. Then the footpads took
all he had.
Detective Cody's investigation included
search of the young mans pockets and
revealed watch, chain and a purse with
plenty of cash in it. The officer suggested
that Benjamin Franklin had evidently run
against highwaymen who did not know
their business or else he was prevaricating.
Banks was taken to the locality on VIII
low place he described as the scene of the
hold-up and identihed the place, but failed
to account for the fact that no iron railing
surrounded any of the buildings, little
matter he had been very particular to call
to the attention of the police when he first
reported the case. The police believe the
entire affair originated in the brain of the
young man from Nevada.

SOUTH BERKELEY EXCITED.
4 Thoroughfare Turned Into a Gold
DiggingS.
WaShings From the Hills Reveal the
Precious Metal. G. MiIIer'S
Story.

South Berkeley yesterday suddenly
sprang into fame as a new Ell Dorado. Gold
in quantities sufficient to constitute it
''pay dirt" was mined on Ashby avenue,
the principal thoroughfare of this recently
annexed suburb to the town of Berkeley.
One Of the residents of this town, while
walking along the avenue, picked up a
stone from the gutter, and observing that
it was quite heavy for stone of its size,
made close examination and found I'M
mistakable evidences of the precious
metal. Ashby avenue extends from Rail-
road street to Telegraph avenue, and is not
completely improved. The cutters on the
sides are not planked, but the dug-out
earthen entertainments allow the water
which gathers from the rain to flow along.
1t was at one of these places that the first
gold ore was picked up. On going further
up the street several small pebbles were
found.
Their discoverer informed a friend, and
this friend another, and so on until in an
incredibly short time the street resembled
an old forty-niner diggings and more or
less gold rewarded the labors of the
miners"
J. G. Miller, the president of the I'm
proVement CluD OF South Berkeley, said
last evening: eyes, it is true, and the
people are practically crazy over it. They
expect that property adjacent to Ashby
avenue will greatly increase in value and
that every lot will constitute mining
claim. Owing to illness in my family !
was in South Berkeley to-day only an
hour-spending most of the day in San
Francisco-but the short time did spend
there was occupied solely in hearing talk
about the discovery.
among those whom heard had mined
on the street were w. A Bissell and w.
O'Neil, the real-estate agents, B. Gold
smith, N. w. Miller (my father), T. Craig
mile, NJ. Lutz and others. The gold ap.
pears to be washings from the hills back Of
the town---smal pieces of quartz-and Mr..
Goldsmith, who crossed the bay with me
this evening, stated that a rumor was afloat
that the ledge had been found. Mr.. Gold.
smith brought a quantity of those with
him for the purpose of getting it assayed
tomorrow. Many of those whom named
as digging in the cutters are old miner:
and know gold when they see it. To-mor
rows developments, it is expected, will be
OF an important nature"
