There are several dairies that were not
represented in the tests made.
Hay, bran, middIings and grass are the
chief foods used in all the dairies. More
grass was obtainable in March than in
February, and as consequence the later
report shows high percentages in cream
and corresponding reductions in the per-
centages of the butter fats.
The milk standard adopted by the Ala
media Board of Health requires 6s per cent
of cream and go per cent of butter fats,
and as may be seen in the monthly report
the Alameda supply goes far above the
standard.
DR.. To1n Carpenter, the Veterinary In
spector in the Alameda Health Office, de-
clared that the city's milk supply is un-
questionably the best and purest on earth,
and that Alameda is the only city which
has everything relating to the supply
under satisfactory control
One advantage in the field which DR..
Carpenter covers is that the milk wagons
can come into the City only over two or
three roads, and consequently there is
good opportunity for making inspections.
1t has been stated that certain milkmen
proposed TO sue the Board of Health for
damages on account of the publication OF
the first bulletin, but no steps in that di-
fection have vet been taken. Certain
dealers, however, question the right of the
board TO issue the bulletins, but they do
not want to be placed in the unfavorable
position that would result from test case.

TAFT LEFT HIS JESSIE,
A Prospective Bride Who Waited
in Vain for the Bride
groom.
He Started From the License Office
to Pay the Fee, but Failed
to Return.

Up to closing hour, at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, Thomas TAFT had not
turned up at the Office of the marriage
license clerk at the City Hall to claim
license that had been made out at his re-
quest more than twenty-four hours be-
fore. About o'clock on Wednesday after
noon TAFT and female companion, who
looked to be many years his senior, called
at the office and signified their intention
of travelling the path of life together. After
TAFT had stated that his age was 81 years.
and that he lived at 661 Eighth street,
Oakland. and that his prospective bride,
Jessie Fox, was 50years of age and resided
at 405 Franklin street of the same city, he
was given the customary tag and told to
go to the Treasurer's office, pay the fee
and return for his license.
TAFT carried out the programme to the
extent of starting in the direction of the
fee Office, but up to o'clock yesterday he
had failed to return with his receipt.
Mrs. Fox-she admitted being widow,
waited the first half hour patiently, the
second impatiently and the third almost
in tears.
Cupid Danforth out of pity for her Tor
lorn appearance kept the office open half
an hour after the regular time but the
bridegroom came not, and he was re-
luctanty compelled to inform Mrs. Fox
that she must find other quarters to wait
for TAFT or go in search of him. She con-
cluded to take the latter course, and at
O'Clock was seen wandering about the cor
ridors looking anxiously for her Thomas
and asking various officials whether it was
possible that he might have been lost in
the mazes of the hall. Since then neither
of the parties has been seen, and Cupid
is wondering whether TAFT lost his way or
concluded that discretion was the better
part of valor and left for parts unknown.
Ii it turns out that Thomas was actually
bewildered by the municipal labyrinth
this will be an additional argument in
favor of Mayor Sutro's demand for a
! directory of the new City Hall.

FRANK BROTHERS SUED,
A Local Hardware Firm Being
Driven Toward Insol.
Vency.
It Owes Over Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars on Old Debts and Con.
Signments.

Suit has been commenced against Frank
Brothers, the effect of which will be to
drive the defendants into insolvency
The firm was very near to it once. In 1893
the creditors were clamoring for their
money, and the firm finally stayed pro-
ceedings by compromising. The agree
ment made then was that the business
should be run for the benefit of the
creditors until so cents on the dollar had
been paid. The debts then amounted to
a good many thousand dollars. This order
of things has been in effect ever since, but
the suit just filed will disturb it ALL
Peter S. MacGowan, Frank S. Seymour
and A. FL. Lindeke. as receiver of the
Walter G.. Wood Harvester Company, an
insolvent corporation of Minneap polls, are
plaintiffs. They seek to have an account
ing and also to have receiver appointed
to wind up the affairs of the firm. The
Wood Harvester Company has been send
ing goods out to the Franks under con-
slgnment, they to sell them and remit the
proceeds, less commission. In 1898 the
Franks owed the harvester company
$14, 290 Sc and only $2930 had been paid on
the account. An accounting was then
had, and it was found the firm owed over
$500, 900. Among the debts were $40, 900
due the Crocker- -Woolworth Bank and
$50, 600 due Mrs. Emily Pope.
In the complaint it is charged that the
Franks did not keep their agreement and
that all the money due the harvester peo-
pie did not find its way to them.
One of the Frank brothers is dead and
the other is sued as surviving partner.
He is not to be found. however, and the
complaint states that the business has
been left in the hands of clerks, and that
1t Is rapidly running down.

The Monthly Bulletin Issued
Yesterday by the Board
of Health.
RESULT OF THE NEW SYSTEM.
Dairymen Have Taken Care to Make
Good Showing in the
Reports.

The second monthly bulletin of the con-
ditions of the Alameda milk supply was
issued yesterday, in accordance with the
plans recently adopted by the Board of
Health in the Encinal city. A direct
practical benefit of the system is indicated
by the fact that four of the dairies are re-
ported to be in "good" sanitary condition,
while only two were so reported month
ago.
The use of the word ''good" is used by
the inspectors as meaning practically per-
feet, or as good as could be desired, and
there is no actual criticism Of those de-
clared to be In fair condition. Two dairies
were reported to be in poor sanitary con-
dition, but the existing troubles at these
are said to be of only temporary nature,
and the proprietors are making the sug-
gested improvements.
The bulletin of the dairies in fair or
good sanitary condition is as follows:

Joachimsen's court yesterday afternoon,
and different varieties of trout and salmon,
submitted for the inspection Of the jury.
Fish Commissioner Babcock testified
that a steelhead was a trout, and referred
to President Jordan of Stanford Univer-
sity as an authority on the point. Fish
Warden Mogan also testified to the same
effect.
Attorney Ruef put the defendant on the
stand. he declared that steelhead was
a salmon, and was considered such by all
tish-dealers.
Alter argument OF counsel the jury re-
tired but failed to agree, ten being Tor con-
vlctlon and two for acquittal. Rather
than be at the worry and expense of an
other trial the defendant offered to plead
guilty If small fine was imposed, and the
Judge mulcted him in $40.

SALMON OR TROUT?
The Steeihead Question Again Threshed
Out Before a Jury in Judge
JoacEinsen's Court.

The perplexing question of whether a
steelhead is trout or salmon, which

PUT OFF THE TRAIN.
George M. Martin Is Suing the Southern
Pacific Company for
Damages.

The trial of the suit of George M. Mar
tin against the Southern Pacific Railroad
is now before Judge Daingerfeld. The suit
is for damages for being elected from a
train at TowIes station, above Sacra-
mento.
Martin is a fruitdealer in Sioux City.
On July Is. 1895, he purchased ticket,
with stop-over privileges, to San Diego
and return. He rode to San Diego and
from there came to San Francisco. On
August he started East again. He got
only as far as Towles, however, for there
his ticket was taken from him because, the
conductor said, it had been purchased
from scalper. He was ordered to sign
his name several times in order that COM
parsons with the signature on the ticket
be made, and the result was that the

ticket was withheld and he had to pay his
fare for the remainder of the way.
The railroad sticks to it's claim that the
ticket was purchased from a scalper, and
it is asserted that Martin, when he wrote
his name for comparison, disguised his
handwriting to make it resemble the
ticket signature.
