Hats of Gause for Summer.

Hats of gauze and light materials
are in great demand in warm days.
They have a cool summery appearance
which even the lace straws can not
aspire to. 1t is comparatively easy
matter to make one of these alluring
bonnets-so simple, in fact, that there
is possibility of their becoming COM
mon. The plated null for the brim
may be bought by the yard. This
varies in price from twelve cents to
twenty-five cents per yard, and is
measured straight Two and half
yards is enough to make wide brim.
Three concentric circular wires are
held in place by about six others, which
radiate from the center like the spokes
of a wheel. When the brim is made
the hat is practically done, and all that
is then necessary is two and half
wards of straw for Tam OShanter
crown The straw may be of any color
desired, but green is favorite. The
feathers to stand up at the side OF the
crown where the brim is slightly
rolled, small spray beneath the brim
in front, where the brim turns almost
straight up, and smart bow OF ribbon
or some aigrettes are sufficient trim

Charity Of Speech.

Charity Of speech is as divine thing
as charity of action. To judge no one
harshly, to misconceive no mans mo-
tives, to believe things are as they
seem to be until they are proved other
wise, to temper judgment with mercy
surely this is quite as good as to
build up churches. establish asylums
and found colleges. Unkind words do
as much harm as unkind deeds. Many
heart has been wounded beyond
cure, many reputation has been
stabbed to death by few little words.
There is a charity which consists in
Withholding words, in keeping back
harsh judgments, in abstaining from
speech, if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of SANDER,
but does not repeat it; listens in ST.
lence, but forbears comment: then
locks the unpleasant secret up in the
very depths of the heart. Silence can
still rumor; it is speech that keeps a
story alive and lends it vigor.-Detroit

PICKPOCKETS AT WORK.
They Are Operating in the Crowd at
the Racetrack.


the Racetrack.
A colored man reported to the police
last evening the loss of pocketbook con-
tanning diamond brooch and $40 in gold,
which he said had been picked from his
pocket at the races. Extra detectives will
be detailed for the racetrack who will keep
a sharp lookout for the light-fngered
gentry. The police are satisfied it is not
the work of local pickpockets, as they are
all too we'll known.
The detectives have been instructed to
use extra vigilance for the next three or
four weeks in watching the crowds in some
of the retail stores and it was SAID yester-
day that several of the new policemen
would be detailed on this work, as they
would stand better chance of capturing
the thieves, who as rule know every
detective and almost every member of the
department.
Several plckpockets and thieves were
recently arrested while working the crowds
at the chutes on Haight street. They were
shown to the different watches at the
police stations so that the men would
know them again and were then released.
If any of them are seen in a crowd by an
officer they will at once be arrested.

He Is En- Route to Mount Baker
to Paint It for a London
Banker.
A BUSY SEASON FOR HIM.
Has Sold Over $4,000 Worth of
Pictures Besides the Big One
of the Yosemite.

Thomas Hill, the noted landscape artist,
who has gained renown by his paintings
of different parts of the Yosemite, arrived
here last night after seven months alb
sence.
1t has been busy time for Mr.. Hill He
has been almost constantly at work at his
studio at Wawona and has turned out
number of pictures for prominent people
in England and elsewhere and has COM
missions for several more.
Among these is $4,000 picture of Mount
Baker for Mr.. Thomas, London banker.
1t is to be six by eight feet in size. Mr..
Hill will leave for Victoria on his way to
Mount Baker tonight. He will have to
do some roughing it, for he will have to
travel in the mountains on horseback. He
has also sold to E. Wood of London two
pictures, one of Lake Johnson, in the
Yosemite, and another of yet another part
of the Yosemite for $1,000. His big picture
of the Yosemite, on which he has so long
labored, has also been sold to Mr.. Thomas
for $5O00 Of the smaller pictures includ-
ing the two to Mr.. Wood, he has sold
about $4,000 worth, which would indicate
growing demand for the work of Cali
fornia artists.
Altogether Mr.. Hill is pleased with his
seasons work. He appeared last night at
the Palace with a flowing beard and
white hat looking much like the historic
one worn by Horace Greeley. He said he
hoped to have his picture exhibited at the
Royal Academy at London.
The Princess Louise some time ago asked
the artist to paint a picture of some Brit
ish Columbia scenery, but Mr.. Hill has
never yet pulled himself together to exc
cute it. He thinks now he may do so
while on his visit to the north.
1.-The weather has been in the main ex-
quisitely beautiful in the Yosemite" said
Mr.. Hill. There has been little snow.

mometer went up to so lately at Wawona,

Quite a number of people came down
with Mr.. Hill. Among them were Willella

S. Smith. They will go as far as Portland
with Mr.. Hill.

MUHLNER ON TRIAL.
The Jury Is Driven Out to the Scene of
the Murder.


the Murder.
OAKLAND, Dec. 4.-The trial of Louis
Muhlner for the murder of his sweetheart,
Jennie Lewis, commenced in Judge
Tricks court this morning. The prisoner
showed no traces of his long confinement
in the County Jail, and sat, looking very
self-composed, alongside his counsel. Not
much interest was shown in the proceed
lngs, and it is the general opinion of law
yers that unless the prosecution can pro-
duce more direct evidence than at the
preliminary examination q conviction can
Lot be secured.
When court opened Attorney Nagle, for
the defense, asked that all witnesses be
excluded from the courtroom, and also
that they be instructed not to read any of
the newspaper reports of the trial.
81 know OF no law, Mr.. Nagle, that will
permit me to make an order of that kind,
said the Judge.
II take an exception" said the attor-
ney, and this sentence was repeated fully
100 times during the days proceedings.
Then an argum ent followed about the ex-
clusion of Detectives Holland and Her
bert. Judge Prick refused to exclude
them and another exception was taken.

The First Congregational Church Meets
With One More Disappoint-

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, Dec. 4.
The First Congregational Church has
not yet obtained successor to Rev. DR..
Mclean, and indeed is no nearer to
naming his successor than when he re-
signed.
E. P. Flint, prominent member of the
church, who was one of the original COM
mittee of nine who were appointed to try
and find suitable man to fill the pastor
ate, said to day: 1--WE have had another
disappointment. The man whom the
trustees thought would accept call has
decided not to come. At present we are
not in great hurry.
REV. DR.. Freeland, who is at present
preaching, is an eloquent speaker and it is
good, in a financial way, to have him
there. He could not accept the church,
and indeed we would not want him to. He
is too old, being over 90, and is not de-
sirous of accepting the responsibility of
church government We aim rather high
and are difficult to please. There are really
no available men, except they be pastors
who wish to come to the coast for their
health. Able men, such as we seek, are all
employed and not easily induced to come
to the coast.
CDR. Freeland is a man of great capabili-
ties, and is an excellent substitute, but
there is no desire to give him call or
on his part to accept one. We do not
know what we will do next

Lloyd is altogether ecGpsed by the sensa-
tional statements made by All Sing to
Officer Banks while four people were
within hearing distance These state
ments relate to the manner in which the
Chinaman alleges he secured immunity

administration of ex-Chief Schaffer. All
Sing told where the lottery-joints were
located and how much each was paying

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 4.-President
Tisdale of the School Board, at the regular
meeting on Tuesday night, took occasion to
felicitate the board and the people of Ala
media over the fact that corporal punish
ment had almost disappeared from the
schools. Where there were formerly
twenty cases in one school there is now
hardly one the presiding officer reported
to his colleagues. There are seventy names
enrolled at the night school, but the at
tendance does not average above twenty
six. The discrepancy caused some discus
sion and an expression Of surprise that the
school was not more largely attended. The
night school has received much attention
from the board, and not long ago second
teacher was installed to assist in instruct
ing the pupils.
The present attendance at the schools is
below the normal. owing, probably, to
the childish ailments that predominant at
this time of year.
Street Laborers.
ALAMEDA, CALL, Dec. 1.-The fact tn at

of applicants. Not only the laboring pop
ulation of Alameda, but part of that of
Oakland, and some even from San Fran
cisco, apply for job. The work only lasts
twenty days, as by that time all the streets
and culverts have been thoroughly cleaned
Most of those to be seen at work on this
job are people who ordinarily labor, but
good many who have not been used TO
such work thankfully accept it, for So q
day for unskilled labor is not to be had
nowadays in many places in California.
The aim is to give the work to those resi-
dents of Alameda who need it, but it is

Some even own houses, and are said to

it, for there is not enough to go around.
