and Pistols.
The habitues of the Peoples Palace, on
the corner of Mason and Eddy streets, were
startled about l o'clock this morning by
the report of pistol-shot in room up
stairs.
A rush was made soou, and Special Po-
licemen Job T, Cram and Henry
Van Horn were seen, the former
with blood streaming down his face,
and the latter with his left arm covered
with blood. Cram had revolver in his
right hand and Van Horn was crouched
behind the bar.
Policemen Cunningham and Irvine rang
for the patrol-wagon and took the two men
to the Receiving Hospital. Van Horn was
shot in the left arm and Cram had an
ugly cut on his right temple and on his
nose and upper lip.
The bullet went through Van Horns
arm, and he was first attended to by DR..
Deane Then Cram had his wounds stitched
and dressed.
They were then taken to the City Prison,
where Cram had charge of assault to
murder booked against him and Van
Horn charge of assault with deadly
weapon.
Cram claims that Van Horn had been
drinking and first attacked him.

Kinds Of Pottery.
Entering a china-shop recently I asked
the dealer the price of very small and
very beautiful piece of Delft which had at
tracted my eyes for weeks whenever 1 hap
pened to pass the window Knowing it
must be very expensive, / had so far re-
sisted the temptation. Much to my sur
prise the dealer named very moderate
price.
cit is not Holland Delft, you know he
said. s"The same piece in Holland Delft
would cost twice that at least.
isWell what is it, then, if not Holland
Delft ~ | asked ''1'o be Delft it must be
made in the Holland potteries."
."That is no longer true" said the
dealer, smiling. Strictly speaking, this
is not Delft, for it was made in France. At
the same time we call it Delft, and even an
expert of the first order would find it diff
cult to distinguish it from the genuine
article, except by the mark of the pottery
on the back To all purposes artistic and
otherwise, it is Delft. Now, here is a
piece of real Holland Delft, and will
wager you anything you like yop cannot
tell the difference.
This was true, though the pottery marks
were altogether different. The dealer
went on:

Lemuel T. Clark of Berkeley and Mrs.
Celia P. Lewis of Vallejo cannot agree as
to which Of the two shall pay the funeral
expenses of the late engineer, Samuel
Clark, killed in the railroad accident last
summer. The court will make the decision
for them on Monday next. The will of Mr..
Clark stated that his funeral expenses
should be paid out of his estate. Mrs.
Lewis inherited the estate. Lemuel Clark.
therefore, claims Mrs. Lewis is bound to
bear the expense of the funeral. Mrs Lewis
on the other hand stated in court that Le-
land Stanford Division No. 2S3, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, gave $500 as a
death benefit for the funeral expenses
of Engineer Clark, that this had been paid
to his brother, Lemuel T. Clark, and there
fore the latter should bear the funeral ex-
penSes out of that fund. The latter re-
fuses to pay the claims for the reason
stated above. Mr.. Clark says that the $500
was a donation from the engineers, and
was not given for the specific purpose of
defraying funeral expenses.

At a meeting of the West Berkeley
Progressive Club. held Tuesday evening,
it was agreed that steps should be taken to

a meeting together in the near future, dis

among its members as to what stand
it should take on the new charter.

E. H. Shaw, chairman of the executive
committee of the local Non-Partisan party,
has issued call to that committee to meet
Thursday, February IA, to determine what
action the Non-Partisans shall take on the
