ALSO GETS THE CHILDREN
Now Has Big Alimony and the
Right to Marry
Again.
GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED.
Without Delay the Liberated Woman
VIII Occupy PalatlaI Quarters
at Paris.

New YORK, March 5.--Judge Barrett has
granted an absolute divorce to Mrs. Alva
E. Vanderbilt from William K. Vanderbilt
The utmost secrecy was maintained in
the action, and as all the papers were
sealed it was impossible to secure any de-
tails of the case.
Mrs. Vanderbilt will, it is reported, leave
her present residence and will hereafter
live at her Newport houses or in the hand
some residence which is said to have re-
Gently been purchased by her in this city.
She will leave with her children for Eu-
rope about the middle of March.
1t is understood that the settlement upon
Mrs. Vanderbilt includes the marble pal
ace at Newport, the residence on Fifty
second street and Fifth avenue, and
money and securities that will make her
income 100000 a year.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's sister is the former
wife of Ferdinand Yznaga, whose present
wife returned to the United States last
month to secure a divorce. The ''woman
in the case" is Nellie Neustretter, one of the
most beautiful queens of the Partisan
demi-monde. Mr.. Vanderbilt is alleged to
have given her all his winnings at the
last Grand Prix de Paris. At present Mr..
Vanderbilt is cruising on board his yacht
Valiant in the Mediterranean with party
of friends.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her friends have
made all their arrangements for sailing for
Europe, having planned to occupy palatial
quarters at Paris
1t is SAID that the break between Mr. and
~.
yachting trip on the Valiant last summer,
during which it is alleged Mrs. Vanderbilt
was subjected TO indignities in the presence
of their friends that made it impossible to
longer defer action. 1t is alleged Wander
bits relations with Mile. Neustretter were
openly paraded by him with the purpose
of forcing his wife to take cognizance of
them.
Vanderbilt's friends assert that prior to
this yachting trip his behavior toward
Mrs. Vanderbilt had been considerate and
that he conducted himself in an exemplary
manner. They assert he had no affection
for Mile. Neustretter and was in no sense
fascinated by her. Though the fact had
been known for some months that the
Vanderbilts were agreed upon the general
proposition of divorce it was not known
by the public until the decree had been
granted to-day that the proceedings had
been begun.

DECISION OF ASSEMBLY.
An Increase of Pay in Some
Offices and Reductions
in Others.
BLEDsoE WANTS REDUCTIONS.
The House Refuses to Adopt His
Amendments Relating to Hum
boldt County.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-Work was COM
pleted on the county government bill this
afternoon.
When the county government bill was
taken up this morning there was no lack
OF amendments, but none occasioned any
debate till the sections fixing the salaries
of Humboldt County officials were reached
Then Bledsoe stood up and fred amend
ments at the clerk. The salary of every
official would have been lowered if he
could have had his way. As each amend
ment would go up he would assert posi-
lively that the people of his county wanted
that particular salary lowered, and he
recommended drops ranging from $500 to
$500 year.
As regularly Assemblyman Johnson,
also of Humboldt, would announce that
the people thought the officer was earning
the full amount allowed him, and the
House would kill the amendment.
Bledsoe. nevertheless, had the satisfac-
ton of trying to have the salaries cut.
Swlsler of FL Dorado had an amendment
TO trammel somewhat the power OF Su-
pervisors in making game laws. Accord
ing TO Thomas amendment adopted yes
terday the Supervisors would be enabled to
alter the laws to suit themselves. Mr..
Swisler's amendment provides that they
cannot extend the open season of any class
of game.
Au attempt was made to make the cities
assist in bearing the burdens of road build
ing. An amendment with that idea IN
view failed to be adopted. As result the
CITIES are to be exempted from roadtax
Among the smaller counties there has
been little or no reduction in the salaries
of county officials. Among the larger
counties the changes are marked. there be-
ing an increase in some offices and reduc-
tions in others.
The Alameda delegation was the last TO
submit its figures. They were exactly as
reported in the CALL two days ago. The
tronble was over the time when the reduc-
ton of the Assessors salary was to go into
effect. 1t was decided to allow him to re-
tain his present force OF deputies for year
IN order that he might redeem his ante
election pledges to reassess the entire
county. All other changes go into effect
upon the passage of the bill
The salaries of San Francisco's officials
are not included as they are fixed by her
charter. The salaries in the other coun
ties as finally decided upon by the House
are as follows:

Oysters.

1t is very peculiar that when a
new industry is started in this
country the public Immediately
assumes a suspicious attitude and
acts as if there was something
rotten in Denmark. Mr.. Colburn,
a pushing young capitalist, has
lately been using his extensive
lands at Pearl Harbor to create
oyster beds, and he has been able
to furnish the market here with
fresh oysters on sholl for several
weeks. If the public has appre-
GATED the enterprise of Mr.. Col
burn We cannot state. We only
know that a lot Of people who
pretend to know something about
what is good for the plate look
very serious and say: Cannot beat
foreign oysters; taste muddy
taste of "limu;" rooh, pooh, pooh
The truth is that the oysters
are not intended to "beat" foreign
oysters. They are foreign oysters
and are simply here to be fattened,
freshened up and fitfor the market.
The most serious charge against
the oysters has been that they
were green, and that fact scared
people who, although green"
themselves, believe that the YER
dant color is caused by arsenic or
copper. A reference to Ansley
Halls interesting article, Oyster
Industry Of New Jersey will serve
to convince our sceptical bon
wants that they run no risks
whatever by eating green"
oysters. The article in question
appears in the official report
of the commissioner on fish
and fisheries printed at Wash
ingtoa 1891. In mentioning
green oysters the author ques
ton. Professor Nelson, a celebrat-
edauthority, who in letter to the
two leading oyster growers of the
United States, says; at is natural
people who do not know the cause
of the unusual color should reject
green CLAIMS or oysters deeming
them disease causing. Such per-
sons may be assured, not only on
our authority but on that of every
scientific Investigator who has
studied the subject that the CLANS
are wholesome and of good and
sometimes Of superior quality"
The green color is simply derived
by the oysters inclination for
and easy accesst to seaweed and
anybody who has watched a child
painting itself blue by eating
black berries can understand why
an oysetr turns green by eating
"limu."

When a stranger in some vessel
approaches the coast of Oahu he
is inclined to think that lie has

Paradise of the Pacific must be

and the won derful beauty OF
Waikiki meets his eye he realizes
that he is near that haven of bliss,

serves the name Of Sans Souci-
without sorrow.

A new SHIP.
She Flies No Flag, But a
Horse.

The boys on Brewers wharf
will petition the next Legislature
and ask for an act which will
prevent ordinary everyday grocery
Wagons interfering with their
trade and floating around trying
to drive" people to the Phila-
delphia instead of rowing them to
that favorite resort. The facts
which have caused the trouble are
as follow: Last evening the wag-
gon which carries Ned Imhoff's
supplies for vessels came down to
the wharf. the Wagon, the
horse and the boy-lucky it
wasn't Ned-were all there. So
was the wharf. That is for a
little while. The boy, Wagon
and horse went overheard while
backing Cup" and thereafter they
hoated in general company. The
officer on duty had the boy res
cued and the horse was shortly
after hoisted up and finally the
Wagon was landed. With ex-
ception of some damaged harness,
no harm was done. But in the
future it is to be hoped that the
Humane agent will be around
and such aquarium cirens be
stopped in the future.
