908 Broadway, Jan. 81.
The Ebell Society ladies, who were really
the original promoters of the recent expo
sitlon, have undertaken to secure the Will
merding School OF industry for this city.
The TACT that they have taken up this
matter is somewhat of reflection upon
the gentlemen who took up the task some
weeks ago and who seemingly lost heart.
The ladies have called a mass meeting
for Saturday afternoon at their rooms,
Fourteenth and Washington streets, for
the purpose of finding out whether there
IS possibility OF securing the school for
tins city, or whether there is chance of
failure because of inability of the men.
these views will not be discussed directly,
but the presence of the ladies in the fight
Is OF itself taken as proof that they con-
slder their active support necessary to in
sure success.
The speakers chosen for to-mcrrow's
meeting are Miss Mollie E. Connors, editor
OF Oakland Saturday Night; DR.. Annette
The vice-presidents are Mrs. John Yule,
Mrs. I. E. Sharon, Mrs. E. C. Williams,
Mrs. j. z. Ames, Miss E. B. Morton, DR..
II. P. Van Kirk, Mrs. Emma Shafter
Howard, Mrs. Remi Chabot, Mrs. J. NJ
Scotchler and Mrs. G. H. Redington
In order TO approach the regents of the
university with any degree of assurance, it
viii be necessary to guarantee a suitable
block OF land on which the Wilmerding
building can be erected. This it is esti-
mated will cost from SIC, 900 to $25, 600.

bed it is not pleasant thought that he
will soon be turned over to a lot of medical
students, who may bury him eventually
or may clean and preserve his skeleton for
an object lesson.
We understand that only the Coroner
can order an autopsy. and we believe the
doctors have no right to deal in the manner
they do with the dead bodies of old
soldiers. Autopsies need to be only occa-
slonal, but now they are held in the case
OF every one who dies, and we will try to
have this thing stopped. Several old sol
dlers have left the home rather than re-

dlssected before they are cold. When
these facts become known there will be a

race ended at San Jose this afternoon.
The contestants were Otto STREET., A. B.
Swanson and J. Heney, known as "Fat

ment between the three men as to their
ability to cover the distance between Oak

under the present cond itions of the road.
The details were arranged last night and
the men started at 10 o'clock this morning
from Streit's place on Thirteenth street.

FLAsHLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.
Recent Developments in the Art in New
Directions.

Directions.
Naturalists have been doing some clever
things by the aid of photography. A
western sportsman has been for years
making collection of photographs of all
kinds of wild animals in their native
haunts, and many of these pictures, espe-
clally OF animals about to spring ut their
intended prey, have been taken under con-
dltlons that made the ski1lful handling of
the rifle highly necessary the instant after
the camera was snapped. Another enthu-
slast has devoted himself in photographing
the animals of the forest in their nightly
Wanderlngs. He would set wire in the
pain OF the animal he wished to photo
graph, and adjust the camera so that as
the animal came along and made contact
with the wire blitz-pulver was ignited, and
In the flash the picture was taken.
In this way some beautiful specimens of
deer IN all sorts of attitudes, of mountain
lions, badgers, opossums, etc., have been
secured, and many new features have
been developed of great interest to the
naturalist. NJ. Bontan, the European
naturalist, who studies the wild life OF the
Mediterranean in the garb of diver, has
succeeded In taking some photographs of
the sea bottom. He uses flashIight OBJ
tanned from spirit lamp and magnesium
powder, which is covered by water-tight
bell jar. The lamp stands on barrel
containing oxygen gas, which he employs
to work the lamp and the pneumatic shut
ter OF the camera. He breathes through
the supply pipe of the diving dress. The
tripod near the barrel, so that the shutter
and the hashlight can be worked to-
gether. = American Journal of Pho

Several members OF the Grand Army

history of each case will be carefully recorded

This report was accepted, approved and

and His Assailant Arrested.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 31.-Dr. I. E.
Green, who was found by the police in
West Oakland December % last, in an in
sane condition and as such sent to Ag-
news, has been released. His memory re-
turned during a long sleep he experienced
last Tuesday. When he awoke he was
sane and remembered everything clearly
up to the time he lost his reason, a month
ago. As soon as the physicians examined
HIM he was released, and he came to Oak
land. lie told the Chief of Police that on
the night he was found he had been sand
bagged and robbed. The assault deprived
him of his reason. He remembers the two
men who assailed him and gives good
description of them. The thieves struck
him over the forehead with a sandbag,
and he remembers nothing further.
DIR. Green gave an accurate description
of the man who struck him to the Chief
and Officer COckerton arrested John Nc
Donough and brought him to the City
Prison. a search warrant was issued and
McDonough's home was searched and a
pair of gloves was found that Green recog-
nizes as pair he lost the night he was
robbed.
MeDonough is a member of the West
Oakland gang and is known as Slim jim.
He asked DR.. Green for some money for a
bed and walked for several blocks before
he ives joined by the other two men, who
made the attack while McDonough went
