The Louisiana Legislature, ut Its last
session, passed q law prohibiting WON.
on from wearing hats at theaters. The
State House was crowded on the day
when the bill was passed, the audience
being very large and resplendent ln
beauty and dress. Senator Fenner,
who championed the women's cause,
succeeded In getting In an amendment
allowing the wearing of "Opera hats
and agrcttes." This amendment
threatens dire confusion at the theaters
in the fall. for the "Opera hat Is de-
fined by neither the laws nor the die
tiOnaries. The mllllners of New Orleans
declare that an opera hat Is one which
fits close to the head and Is without
brim, but in the matter of trimming,
each owner can follow the dictates of
her own sweet will, ana there Is no rea-
son why 1t should not be as high as a
bonnet of the Marie AntOiEnette type.

Eden. One of the .happiest gatherings
that ever went camping was hurriedly
broken up two nights ago by nest OF
rattlesnakes.
Fifteen young ladies and seven young
gentlemen, several of whom were brothers
and sisters, and just enough of older ana
wiser heads to preserve dignity, the whole
comprising the Guild of the Haywards
Episcopal Church, went into camp last
Saturday night. A few light tents were
pitched and other preparations made, and
as the night was one of the fairest of the
fair the camp and the location and the
surroundings were idealistic A little
luncheon was partaken OF, little dance
was INDUCED in and some stories of former
camps were repeated and then the
campers retired.
The young gentlemen were A. Bridge,
J. Mazza, J. Bassett, F. Gebhardt, F.
Glazier, J. Joseph and J. Hamilton and
they decided to take turns at remaining
on guard.
A few short watches and the sentinels
found time hanging heavily on their
hands. The beautiful night air had a
somnolent effect, and the sentries who
had loaded their guns with the hope Of
being required to defend their lives and
their friends began to think that there
were more exciting experiences than
keeping guard over sleeping camp.
John Bassett had not been on deck long
before there was a change. He heard
something creeping about in the bushes,
and moment later he was satisfied that
there were enemies all around the camp
There was shot and an alarm, and then
there was chorus of shrieks and cries,
and in an instant the peaceful camp was
turned into scene of turmoil.
The danger was soon located. The camp
had for neighbors a large nest of rattle
snakes, and they were as hostile as thew
knew how to be. The youths soon APP
peared, and the battle began. The de-
tenders were cheered on by their sisters.
Miss Lulu Ubhoff and Miss Jessie Hill
peeped out of one tent, and Miss Lizzie
Neudeck and Ella and Blanche Bridge
viewed the scene from another, and one
or two took to fight and tried to mount
trees. After half-hour's fight the last
RATHER was either killed or had SUNK
away, and count showed that just ten OF
the reptiles had been slaughtered. There
was no more sleeping that night, and next
morning the camp moved to a spot that
was free from rattiesnakes.
The merry CAMPERS are loud in their de-
nunciatlons of fate that allowed snakes
to come in and break up their Edenic nap
plness.
The rest of the party consisted of Mrs.
Ubhoff, Miss Christensen, Miss Giazier,
Miss Armstrong, Beatrice Decamp, Mary
ANYWAY, Miss French and Miss Chopin.
John Bassett, the plucky sentinel who
detected the rattlers. is to be suitably re-
warded, and is even now called captain"

At last the secret is out.
Miss Nina Trimmer, the San Francisco
dressmaker, was horsewhipped by Miss
Elaine Clarrage. Miss Zimrner's denial OF
the whipping is false, and her clever little
story of mistaken identity is equally so.
1t is Miss Trimmer's own mother who is
the authority for the statement.
The cause of the little scene on an Oak
land street corner few days ago. the re-
suit of which is an ugly welt on Nina IS
fair cheek was due to Miss Elaine Clar-
RACES anger that Miss Zimmer's brother
had been put in Ed Garages place in a
San Francisco store.
Miss Trimmer's mother is Mrs. G. E.
Thurston, prominent Oakland evangelist,
who was witness in the Brown verman
case in the Police Court. Mrs. Thurston
is an active Christian worker and is known
throughout the State for her good and
faithful work. At present she and her
husband are conducting what is called
the ''W atcher's Mission in a large tent
on the northeast corner of Ninth and Clay
streets. in this city.
When seen this evening she admitted
that her daughter was the one mixed up
only knows how | feel over the affair, -
said she, 'and l feel that in way my
daughter was to blame. She had no busi-
ness to have quarrel with anyone on the
public street, and ii she had not this
would never have occurred. Young Clar-
rage and his sister followed her several
blocks, and several times they had hard
words. When they reached the wagon
Miss Clarrage took the whip and struck
M W RI orOhtar Over tho haad Nina n
behind the young man and when the
opportunity offered wrenched the whip
away.
Il have two sons in San Francisco who
are desperate over the affair, ana l had
all l could do to keep them from taking
the affair in their own hands and adj
ministering personal chastisement to the
Garages. By pleading with them to
spare their own good names and that OF
their mother they were restrained.
SIT is disgraceful affair any way, but
l know nv daughter is innocent of any
wrongdoing. l have been in Oakland
three years and she has never been here
during that time.
$50 far as / can learn the whole affair is
the outgrowth of jealousy regarding one
of my sons. Clarrage worked for q shoe
firm in San Francisco for a while, but
failed to keep his position and my son Sc
cured it.
1.-The stories about Nina and Mr.. Clar-
rage are false in every particular, and SC
is the absurd story being circulated that
my daughter once attempted to commit
suicide"
Clarrage is Grand Army man and a
member of post. He lives with his wife
and children and is respected by his COM
rades. He has strenuously denied any re.
gard for Miss Trimmer and is very angry
at the statements made by his children.

PAID HIM TO LEAVE.
Richard Foley in New Mexico While
John Bernal Is on Trial for
Shooting Him.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 20.-Sheriff
White made return upon the subpoena for
Richard Foley that he had made diligent
search for him but failed to locate his
whereabouts.
The case of John Bernal. who is charged
with an assault to murder Foley, was on
trial in Judge Greene's court. Foley s
name was called at the door, but there
was no answer, for the missing man was
playing in the United States military
band at Fort Wingate, New Mexico.

Bernal admits the shooting and paid
Foley's expenses out OF the country to
save prosecution. He took Foley for an
intruder upon the premises of Spanish
widow, Mrs. Alviso, at Pleasanton on the
morning of November Is last year.

ings Left on the Sidewalk.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 20.-The gates
on the local trains and the stopping of
free travel are occupying at present large
share of public attention. The prevailing
opinion is that fares are going to be
charged, but what that opinion is based
on it is impossible to decipher. The ten
dency of the Southern Pacific to make
traffic carry all it will bear and two local
manifestations are all at present that is
above ground.
On Saturday evening George Blanchard
of High street exhibited letter from Su-
perintendent Fillmore on Park street,
which said that Mr.. Blanchard would be
appointed to sell tickets at High street, on
the narrow gauge line, in a few days.
From this it is conjectured that fares are
going to be charged.
The erection of large and commodious
depot, to be known as Sather station, just
where the Laundry Farm electric road
crosses the Seventh-street Oakland Rail-
way line, is taken as another indication
that the Alameda broad-gauge trains will
run out there, and only persons allowed to
board the trains who possess tickets for
Sathcr or San Francisco. 1t is also said
that it is the intention of the company to
run loop-line train on the Seventh-street
Oakland local and the Oakland broad
gauge.
Superintendent Fillmore told City Trus-
tee Hammond in June that the company
had no intention of charging fares for
riding within the city limits, though they
intended to put gates on. If Mr.. Flllmore's
statement be not adhered to the City Trus-
tees will be heard from.
An Eviction.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 30.-A middle
aged woman named Sadie Casper, living
at the corner of Oak street and Alameda
avenue, had her household belongings
dumped into the street this morning for
the non payment of rent, at the instance
of Hall & Baird, agents for Owen Tuttle of
Redwood City. The furniture and effects
we're on the sidewalk at 8 P. NJ, and the
whereabouts of the owner could not be
discovered. She was seen after the evic-
ton to go down Oak street 10 the beach,
but no trace can be found of her tonight,
though quite q number of searchers are
out.
DR.. Bovard tried to make arrangeme nts
to store the furniture. but no one would
touch it without authority. Mrs. Casper
has lived as dressmaker here for the past
four years. Her husband, from whom she
is separated, is said to be in San Francisco.
Over twelve months ago she brought
action against George Renner and wife for
damages in the sum of S299. but the jury

Buttner disputed Davies statements about

not speak in a loud tone, and he glanced
around to see that no one was about when
he spoke. think Buttner is making a
bad move to file such charge"

EXPOSED ON A POSTAL
Judge Greene Notified That Tales
man Imposed Upon the Court to
Escape Jury Duty.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 20-No small
amount of excitement was created this
morning in the Superior Court, when
Judge Greene announced that he had re-
ceived postal card which he read. 1t is
as follows:
M Dear Judge: In open court Poorman
swore that he was sick and had to go 10 the
springs, aud he could not serve on the Jury
He deceived you. He is around Oakland, and
never did go away. man who will do that

The Judge asked The party writing the
same to come forward and acknowledge
the same and speak up. as he had prom
ised to do, but no one responded He
then declared that If the writer would sub
stantiate his statement, all the powers of
che court and District Attorneys office
would be placed at his disposal to bring
Mr.. Poorman to account, if he had i'm
posed on the court.
Judge Greene said he discharged his
duty without fear or favor, and that he
proposed to treat all citizens alike in re-
gard to jury duty, and no man would be
excused unless for legal cause upon
proper showing. He said the court would
paw no attention to anonymous commune
cations. He thought it was cowardly for

THEY ARE SURPRISED
Saloon at FruitvaIe Avenue Without
the knowledge of the Resi-
dents of the Vicinity

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 20.-Now that a
room has been fitted up and license
granted for saloon at East Fourteenth
street and Fruitvale avenue the residents
have awakened to the fact that they have
been outwitted by the saloon man and
declare that henceforth they will scan the
published accounts of the proceedings of
the County Board OF Supervisors.
On July 20 J. f. Valiadao, who formerly
conducted saloon near the broad gauge
station, on the avenue, applied to the
Supervisors for new license, and on July
81 it was granted. "Major" J. H. W.
Riley and Mrs, Henry Wetherbee reside
in the immediate vicinity and have man
aged to keep all saloons away from the
corner heretofore.
1t may be that the Fruitvale Sanitary
Board will take hand in the matter, as it
is authorized to do under the law.
