THE CONTEST ENDED.
William #. Rasiante Is Selected as
San Leandro's POST
master.

SAN LEANDRO, CAL, April w. B.
Raslante received word to-day from Wash
ington, D. c., that he had been nominated
by the President as postmaster at this
place. This ends most bitter contest
between local factions, but leaves a breach
that it will take long to repair.
This is Presidential Office that pays
$1,000 year. Mr.. Gray, the incum bent,
has not kept it up to the condition it was
when he took it. His term expired De-
cember 16, 1895. The successful candidate
is saloon-keeper and was endorsed by
John P. Irish, John Glascock and Governor
Budd.
The other candidates were Fred Meyers,
merchant OF the town, and Dan Nc
Carty, editor of the San Leandro Re-
porter. The latter was indorsed by
Senator White and Warren B. English,
but his opponents filed charges at Wash
ington against him to the effect that he
had voted for Blaine in 1884. This was
strongly denied, and numerous affidavits
were presented in support of the denial,
but prejudiced the authorities against
him.

BURIED DULL CARE.
Ell Dorado Par1or Celebrates the OBJ
sequies With More Than Usual
Hilarity.

"Universal Trouble" was buried deep
last night, and his interment celebrated
by banquet at Native Sons Hall. The
members of Ell Dorado Parlor No. 50 and
their guests were the merry mourners, and
the funeral baked meats" were of the
best, while, as for the drinks it would be
hard to say whether quality or quantity
was most to be admired.
The invitations were printed in silver on
black, coffin-shaped card, and included
an announcement to the effect that the
moon would be half full, and mourners
were expected not to outdo the orb of
night.
During the evening a fine musical and
literary programme was rendered. Pro-
fessors Burke and Emil Graeber on the
piano and Charles Graeber on the banjo
were much applauded. Jules Kahn gave
some humorous recitations, while I. Eek
ert and Ferris Hartmann's songs were
worthy of the singers. A mandolin and
guitar trio, by M. Perrin and the Dietz
brothers, was another fine number. A.
Poole, Segommer OF the Orpheum, P. Daiy.
J. Sparks and other singers and special.
lists also did their part to render the even
ing enjoyable.
The success of the affair was due in
great partto the painstaking endeayors of
the committee on arrangements, Dr. w. j.
Hawkins (chairman), L. Mayer, L. Bragg,
L. Brady, j. Muehe and ii. Schumacher.
Ell Dorado Parlor's entertainments have
the fame of being "all around good times. -
but last nights social was said by many of
those present to have outshone its pre-

BOY BURGLARS ARE FREE
Now They Want to Meet the
Man Who Promised an
Excursion.
Anxious to Know if He Will Hold
Out on Them Because They
Were Mo- Spanked.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9oS Broadway, April 7.
The trio of little burglars who have been
in the City Prison for over two weeks was
released by Judge Wood to-day. The ac-
tions of the boys were thoroughly boyish
and did not indicate any developed GRIM
inal traits and the Judge thought their
present experience in a prison cell was
sufficient punishment. The little fellows
gave as their reason for committing the
burglary that they wanted for once to
have all the candy they could eat, and
they also had desire to go and see big
city. Two OF the boys had never crossed
the bay. Consequently when they saw the
means to fulfill both their desires in a
grocer's shop they threw stone through
the window, crawled in and helped them
selves.
While in prison very generous offer
was made by John T. Bell. who is well
known in this city. The offer will have to
intention of taking advantage of it. Mr.
Bell published a statement in which he
said:
81 have feeling of sympathy for those
young rascals and believe that if Chief
Lloyd. with the consent of Judge Wood,
would spank them and send them home
tre safety of society will not be ieopar-
died. Later on when they have added
decade or two to their ages 1t may be neces-
sary, perhaps, to round them up again and
send them to the penitentiary, but the
spanking would just about meet the needs
for this occasion. When / was young
ster | had the same craving for candy
which these little fellows have land which
was seldom gratified), and also desire to
see big city, and when, at the age of 10,
was taken to Quincy, Ill, with its teeming,
swarming population of 10000 and was
given a whole half-dollar with which to
buy candy there was not a happier boy in
fourteen counties than | was. And then,
too was something OF thief myself at
the same tender age.
II hope that Judge Wood will release
these embryo malefactors this time, and
if they will hunt me up l will gladly pro-
vide funds sufficient to pay their way over
to San Francisco and out to Golden Gate
Park and return, with margin large
enough to buy all the candy they can eat
during the day."
The boys said to-day that Mr.. Bell
would certainly oe hunted up, and that he
would be lucky if he kept his promise and
was rot out more than IS.
"A trip to Golden Gate Park-where's g
that?" asked Chicken Pacheco.
'Guess he never seen me eat candy,"
said Frank Dellaroco. But Robert Ash
could not speak for moment. Presently
he said:
Didn't the man say that he'd treat if
we were let off with spanking?'
"That's what" said two disappointed
voices. Now all three are considering if
Mr.. Bell will try to save his treat" be-
cause there WAS no trOunCiDp done

LIQUOR IN BERKELEY
An Amended Ordinance That
Threatens Men With
Cellars.
University Field Day Preparations
Foresters Meet-The Columbia
Fire Company.

BERKELEY, CAL. April Town At
torney Hayne has just completed the prep
aration of a number Of amendments TO
the famous ordinance regulating the sale
and storas of liquor within the one mile
limit of the university grounds. The pro-
vision as to the storage of liquor, upon
which the recent successful attacks upon
the liquor men was principally enacted, is
retained in the proposed amendment to
the ordinance, but has slight modifca-
ton SO as to correct the extreme severity
of the regulation.
The amendment referred to names a
definite amount Of liquor which is to be
the limit that may be kept without a
does away with the objection that the
ordinance prevents the keeping of liquor
for private use, as the amount allowed
will be fully adequate for such purposes.
1t is assumed that parties who are ac-
customed to keep more than the amount
named in the amendment are selling
liquor to others. Those who lave been
fighting the liquor ordinance and those
whose statements had weight with Judge
Frick when he decided that the ordinance
was unconstitutional argued that the law
was tyrannical in the extreme, and that,
from the reading and sentiment of the
ordinance, no one was allowed to keep
even small flask OF liquor for his own
private purposes.
Joseph Doran of the California Hotel
was arrested yesterday afternoon under a
clause OF the ordinance that is still in
force. the charge against him being that
of maintaining an establishment in which
intoxicants were sold in violation of the
law.
Doran was arrested once before under
the unconstitutional storage clause Of the
ordinance and the case against him was
thrown out when the clause was declared
invalid in the appealed case of Stricken,
but this time he comes under the "seli-
ing" clause.
A. Berg of the Acheson Hotel was ar
rested this afternoon for maintaining a
place where liquor is sold.
University Field Day.
BERKELEY, CAL, April THE an
nual championship field day of the Uni
yersity of California will take place next
Saturday afternoon on the Berkeley cinder
track. Captain Merwin says that there
will be more entries for this field day than
at any other in Berkeley for several wears
past. This is attributed to the fact that
another Eastern trip of representative
university athletes has been planned for
this summer. The work of the men on
Saturday will largely determine who will
be able to make places OH the Eastern
team.
Berkeley is strong this year in the
