BARRIERS WANT HALF A DAY.
REASONS GIVEN FOR THE Gov
ERN0R SIGNING SENATE
BILL 627.
AN ALLEGED ERRONEOUS I'M
PRESTON REGARDING ITS
PROVISIONS.

Apparently some doubt exists as to the
exact terms of Senate bill 627 in favor of
closing barber-shops at noon on Sundays
and legal holidays.
w. G. Seppich of Seppich & Kleinhans,
BARRIERS, 217 Montgomery street, in speak
ing of the matter yesterday said:
ga morning paper advises the Governor
to veto this bill because it includes en-
ployes of lighthouses in its scope This is
not the case as we understand the bill.
The law reads as follows:
Every person who as proprietor manager
lessee, employe or agent keeps open or con-
duets, or causes to be kept open or conducted
any barber-shop, bath-house and barber-shop
(barber-shop of a bathing esta blishment), or
hair-dressing establishment Tor any place for
shaving or hairdressing, used or conducted, or
in connection with any other place of bust
ness or resort, who engages in work or labor
las barber in any such shop or establish
ment on Sunday or on a legal holiday after
the hour of II o'clock NJ. of said day, is guilty
OF misdemeanor.
81, as the President of the BARRIERS Pro-
tective Union, and also as proprietor of
the Russ House Baths, claim that the law
Is meant and should be construed to read
as relating to BARRIERS only. / had the law
drawn up by request of my fellow BARRIERS,
who number about 5000 in this State Our

has been signed by BARRIERS from the entire
State and not one protest has been heard
"Any one accepting the assertion OF the
Sacramento correspondent might conclude
that the provisions of the bill were. in
tended to close lighthouses on Sunday
afternoons. A hasty reading of the bill
might give color to this idea, but careful
perusal will show, as l have said, that the
provisions relate to BARRIERS only.

CALL any erroneous impression may be
corrected. That this bill may become a
law is desired by all married BARRIERS. By
its means only can they hope to secure
half day of rest on Sunday to spend in
their family circle"

IN this city
Indignant Ladies.
There is a gnashing of teeth among
certain ladies in this city over the
announcement that women are not eligible
to the position of School Directors, to
which several of them have been aspiring.
The new charter, which goes into effect
next May, provides that only qualified
electors" or voters" are eligible to the
elective or appointive offices of this town.
Another section of the town law provides
that every official must be resident of the
town for three years before the election.
These sections will keep carpet-baggers
out of office, but the ladies say it will also
render them ineligible. They do not place
the blame on the shoulders of the Free
holders, as they think it was quite unin-
territorial. Yesterday one of them was
heard to remark, ''This mistake will keep
ladies out of Office three years after they
have been granted the elective franchise by
the Legislature.''
Trouble in the Football Team.
For the past two months trouble has
been brewing in the football team of the
University. Shortly after the Thanksgiv-
ing game Captain Benson was reelected,
but, being compelled TO leave college, re-
signed just before the Christmas vacation.
Eddie Sherman was elected by vote of 6
to 5 to fill the vacancy. His rival has kept
the affair stirred up ever since, and this
week made strong attempt to depose
him. Rumor has it that he has decided on
new plan of action and that he will not
stop till he is captain.

ALAMEDA.

Herman II. Schrader, the painter and
decorator, who some months ago carried on
a business at 1924 Park street and went
into insolvency, has been blocked from
getting his final discharge. His former
partner, W. w. Fowler, and one of his
creditors, has filed an affidavit in the
Superior Court setting forth charges on
which he demands an investigation of the
insolvent's affairs.
When Schrader filed his schedule last
October he represented his assets to be
$1135 and his liabilities $301S, including a
note of $500 due Fowler as part payment
on the latter's interest in the firm, and as
an offset against him note of $3.50, which
he had Endorsed upon the security of
another note, Endorsed in turn by l. n.
Chapman.
Fowler's charges are to the effect that
Schrader fraudulently disposed of a lot of
property before filing his petition in insol-
vency, and further falsified the accounts of
his business and neglected to keep proper
records of the affairs of the firm. The
matter OF granting the final discharge will
come up tomorrow.
Ten Petitions Filed.
Tomorrow will be the last dav under the
law for candidates to file their nominating
petitions with the City Clerk to make GER
tain that their names will appear on the
ballots. Ten petitions had been filed I'D to

Government Club. The vacancy in the
executive committee of the Good Govern
ment Club, caused by the resignation of J.
Ii. Bruins has been filed by the appoint
ment of T. Z. Jenkins of 2105 Santa Clara
avenue.

of the proposition of the city paying $50

clared his intention of introducing reso-
luton tomorrow evening to revoke the
appointment made in his absence Monday
night. He insists that the owners of fast
horses should pay for the maintenance of
the track.

evidence of having been used by the

masses of these shells were found where
they had been left by the native occupants

the interior. Digging into the flooring of
the cave the sportsmen found several
curious implements suggestive of the
ancients. There were stone mortars and
pestles, fiat grinding stones worn smooth
as they could be made by long years of
grinding, and various small objects in
pearly abalone, evidently the ornaments of
the natives. In one of the small mortars
were hundreds of beads, each Iaboriously
cut from little shell found on the beach.
Perhaps the most interesting objects dis
covered here were those made of soapstone.

LA GRIPPE AGAIN
A Few Plain Words About the Cause
and Effects Of the Disease.
TheLoWest Rate and Best Treatment
Known to Science at the Copeland
Medical Institute-$5 a Month,
Medicines Included.

The dreaded La Grippe, which has again
made its appearance on this coast, is nothing
more nor less than catarrhal fever" It Is
by no means a new trouble and belongs dis
tinctly to that family of diseases which Drs.
Copeland and Neal have won distinction by so
successfully treating.
1t differs from the more typical cases of Ca
tarrh in that the marked nervous depression
which prevails is out OF proportion to the gray
ity OF the catarrhal symptoms. In the majority
OF cases where it has proved serious the patient
has long been a sufferer from chronic catarrh,
and the system, weakened by endurance OF this
stealthy disease, is in no condition to defend
itself against La Grippe Itself. We believe there
are comparatiyely few instances where people
free from catarrhal trouble nave 1elt any OF the
effects of La Grippe.
In almost every case the disease Is attended
by symptoms indicating the action of systemic
poison, chill headache, fever, muscular pains
and great depression of mental and physical
strength and energy, with the usual catarrhal
SYMPTOMS in the head and throat rendered
more acute and annoying.
Nearly every case of La Grippe leaves sys-
temic catarrhal condition, which, unless II is
thoroughly and completely cured, renders the
patient very liable to chronic bronchitis, which
invariably leads to consumption.
word may be added concerning the rarer
complications of this disease. Among these
may be mentioned Inflammation OF the middle
ear, causing catarrhal deafness, bronchial
pneumonia and q weak condition OF the eyes.
There is no question but that al season OF the
year, when La Grippe is known to be prevalent
people should be more careful than ever 10
check the progress of catarrhal trouble and, if
possible, eradicate from the system every symp-
tom of catarrhal poisoning.
Those who suffered last winter from La Grippe
for the second or third time were invariably
the worst sufferers. Ii many of these people
had, last autumn thoroughly removed from
their systems the catarrhal conditions IN which
the first attack of La Grippe had left them
much suffering might have been avoided 1t is
a pressing duty that devolves on every man,
woman and child who has been subject TO this
disorder to see that the results, the catarrhal
condition that it leaves is thoroughly cured,
while the conditions of climate are favorable
and q cure is possible.
Catarrh is often the condition that in the
first place invites and causes La Grippe. 1t is
the condition La Grippe leaves behind inviting
fresh attacks, making, as it were, home for
itself for next season.
This is the proper time to take special treat
ment for La Grippe and its after effects, such
as nasal catarrh, bronchitis, incipient con-
sumption and chronic coughs, as the acute
infammatory symptoms have given away long
since to the sub-acute and chronic forms.

AVALON, Santa Catalina, March a.
For many years the island of Santa Cata-
lima has been known to be the burying-
ground of a lost or forgotten race of ma

been examined and studied in the hope
that something might be found that would
throw light upon the question. Recently

the natives were buried or concealed in a
cave somewhere on the coast. That this
theory may have some foundation in fact
is proven by the discovery recently of some
singular caves. While the workmen on
road were cutting into the bank of the cliff
that fronts the beach at Avalon they came
upon cave over 100 feet in length. 1t

rock and braced with timbers that showed
