NO Gates ON LOCAL CARS
The Alameda Municipal Board
Has Rejected the
Ordinance.
Quite Contest and Some Feeling Over
The Janitorship of the
City Hall.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 24.-The ordin.
ance prepared by City Attorney Taylor,
designed to have guards and gates and
bumpers and various protectors put upon
all the cars that are run within the corpor-
ate limits of Alameda was not considered
by the Municipal Board at its last regular
meeting.
Trustee Leydecker, the mover of the Or
dinance, requested permission TO with
draw it, and the permission was granted.
Another ordinance will now be prepared,
but the word "gate" will be vigorously ex-
Guided. There will only be required
guards under the car-bodies.
City Hall Janitorship.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 24.-There was
quite contest over the authorship of the
new City Hall, which will be dedicated to
public use about the first of the year.
There were thirty-iye applicants for the
position. The contest finally narrowed
down to two-George Fleming, an old SOL
der, who was urged by the Grand Army
contingent, and Z. L. Ward, who is un-
derstood to be the choice of the A P. A.
contingent. Trustee Leydecker being a
Grand Army man, championed the claims
of Fleming, who secured his vote. Trus-
tee Hammond had been labored with
earnestly, and it was supposed that he
would also favor the ex-miIitary man, but
when the vote was taken, it was found
that Fleming got but two, while Ward got
Forderer, Clark and Hammond. There is
some feeling over the outcome.

She Was Talking of Her birthday and
He Ran Her Age Up.
Loud talk in public places, such as
restaurants and public conveyances, is
more of European than an Ameri-
can custom, but occasionally you
meet Americans, or persons born in
this country of foreign parents, who
have that European habit strongly
developed. Sometimes this habit oc-
casions embarrassment to those who
indulge in it.
A woman, dressed gaudily and in a
way that did not comport with her
years-for she was in the neighbor-
hood of two score, while her attire
would have been more appropriate
for a girl of 17-entered the Cottage
Grove car few days ago, according
to the Chicago Times.
1t was evident from her attire that
she had an object in concealing her
age. Her escort was about 30 years
old. Their actions denoted that she
was either his sweetheart, or trying
to be.
The woman talked very loudly; her
escort answered quietly. Everybody
in the car could hear every word she
said. When the car reached Forty
first street she announced:
my birthday will be tomorrow"
"Indeed" replied the escort, Il am
glad you have impaired the informa-
ton. 1t will give me the OPP"
"Now, see if you are good guesser.
Guess how many" she interrupted.
"Oh, l wouldn't like to try"
go on. Guess how many"
"Forty-secondn cried the con-
ductor.
The passengers struggled to sup
press laughter. The wOman's escort
smiled, but the woman looked angry.
"Let's get QUIT" she said softly
the only thing she had not said loudly.

Pat Through ITS Tricks Before Gath
erlng OF Anatomlsts.
A brainless frog was one Of the
features OF interest at the second and
last days session of the association Of
American anatomists, held at the col
lege Of physicians and surgeons, says
the New York Sun. It was exhibited
by DR.. Burt G. Wilder, OF Cornell uni
versity, and it was brought upon the
scene after DR.. Wilder had read his
paper on "Some Anomalies Of the
Brain, y which followed discussion
on "The Significance Of Anomalies"
opened by DR.. Thomas Dwight, OF the
Harvard medical school DIR. Wilder
sid that recent mishap he had met
with had set him to thinking of the
origin OF man.
II nearly turned my foot" he said,
sin stepping off a board walk some
time ago. In thinking over it l
couldn't help asking myself why, in
the matter Of ankle, l wasn't like a
horse or jackass. Then / came to
conclusion. / don't say we have
ape ancestry, but it seems to me not
unlikely that our ankles are weak be-
cause our ancestors lived in trees,
and didn't use their ankles to the ex-
tent we do"
Then Dr. Wilder brought out his
brainless frog. 1t was good-sized,
lusty-loS4sing batrachian, and it was
in a bottle. DR.. Wilder handled the
bottle gingerly while he explained
that he had taken the frogs brains
out on December Z, the frog being
under the influence of ether. He then
tilted the bottle and rolled the frog
out on table. All the men of science
gathered around and examined the
scar behind the frogs left ear, where
the brain had been taken out.
The frog, meanwhile, had got into
squat, and gazed stupidity straight
before him. He was motionless, and
when DR.. Wilder passed his hand
quickly before his dubious eyes, the
frog didn't even blink.
THAT shows" said DIR. Wilder,
with little pride, ''that froggie has
enough brains left to realize the i'm
preston given to the eye"
When the doctor touched the frogs
back, however, he wriggled and made
a movement as if he'd like to get
away, only he hadn't enough energy
to do SO. Then DR.. Wilder brought
out wicker cylinder, and when the
frog was placed on top of it he knew
enough to keep from sliding off, or
to keep it from slipping from under
him.
The frog, having shown himself CT
in this trick, was put in glass basin
half full of water. Instantly he
struck out and swan as if his head
were full Of brains.
THAT" said DR.. Wilder, 'is just
like frog that has a mind"
Then bit of meat was got and
forced down the frogs throat with the
aid of forceps. For a moment the
meat rested there, the frog not know
ing enough to swallow. But present
ly it must have choked him, for he
gave great gulp and bolted it.
That" said DR.. Wilder, trium-
phantly, sis reflex action"
The end of the frogs accomplish
ments having been reached, he was
put back in his bottle. 1t is said he
may live for seven or eight months
without brain.

Couldn't Forgive bad Singing.

About the year 1853, a minor canon
from the cathedral OF Gloucester Of
fered his services to Handel to sing.
His offer was accepted, and he was
employed in the choruses. Not salts
fed with this, he requested leave to
sing a solo. This request also was
granted; but he executed his solo so
little to the satisfaction of the audi
ence that to his great modification,
he was violently Missed. When the
performance was over, Handel said to
him, gravely: II am sorry, very
sorry for you. indeed, my dear sir;
but go back to your church in de
country. God will forgif you for your
bad singing; but desc wicked peoples
in London, dey will not forgif your
Argonaut.
