1.-The Advocate" Progressive,
BERKELEY, CAL, June 22.-The state
ment published on Sunday to the effect
that the Advocate Office had suffered the
peril of strike proves altogether mis-
leading. Mrs. Marquardt, the able and
courteous co-editor stated yesterday that
IN the rush of getting out a special edition
on Saturday it was arranged with the
comDositors that paying off be deferred
until to-day. This seems TO have been
the sole foundation for the report. AS
matter OF fact the very progresslyeness OF
the Advocate in issuing a special EDITION
seems to have occasioned the discredltlng
story. All the staff of the Advocate re-
pudiate the statement that they contem-
plated strike and are confident that the
residents of Berkeley will be in no haste
to question the stability of their favorite,
progressive and reliable local paper.
Bit the ConstabIe's Hand.
BERKELEY, CAL, June 22.-William
Niemsn, a deputy constable in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific Company,
while arresting two tramps at Adellne
station this morning for petty larceny,
had his right hand severely bitten by one
of them. The flesh on the inner part Of
his mem Der was Iacerated to such an eI-
tent that the services of physician were
necessary. The prisoners were landed in
the County Jail and charge OF mayhem
placed against one of them.

THE POSTER TEA.

A Unique and Clever Exhibition
Everybody Should Go to Contribute
to the Poor Indian.
The poster tea which is to be given at
the Lawn club on Whitney avenue this
and tomorrow afternoons from until
Z o'clock, promises to be one Of the
most interesting and successful social
affairs of the season, 1t is given for
the benefit of the Connecticut Indian
association and should be accorded
general patronage for that reason If for
no intrinsic merit. But the collection
of posters which has been gathered, to-
gether is a really remarkable exposi-
ton of this latest branch Of art
Everybody is interested in posters be-
cause they have been such fad with
amateur collectors and the prices paid
for some examples in the exhibition
seem really fabulous.
The tea is open to the general pub
lie. 1t was first intended to make it
strictly an invitation affair, but so
much interest was shown that it was
decided to make it public. So every
body who wishes to go can do so by
paying the trifiing sum of fifty cents.
Mrs. Charles De Forest has the tea
in charge. At the tea tables Miss San
ford, Miss Palmer, Mrs. Schwab and
others will officiate. The table win be
done in poster colors and the gowns will
be after the poster order. The recep-
ton committee consists of Mrs Far
man, Mrs. De Forest, Mrs. Du Bots,
Mrs Stevens, Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Hotch-
kiss, Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Niemeyer and
the Misses Palmer and Sanford. Miss
Isabelle Cromwell will act as guide
and friend to the uninitiated, and
Mrs Niemeyer, who is an authority on
all artistic subjects, will also be pres
ent.
Music will be furnished by a quartet
from the glee club and one from the
banjo club.
The posters have been hung in the
bowling alley, as well as the reception
rooms of the Lawn club house and they
make an effective and stunning APP
pearance. The hours are from four I'M
/ til seven and the admission is fifty
cents.

AT CITY POINT.

The New Channel Closed-Spiles Drfv-
en- to Block the Way
A large quantity of spiles were
brought to City Point Sunday night,
and the work of driving them in i row
across the new channel at the end Of
Mr.. Lanes wharf was begun. The City
Point men looked on with chagrin. The
new channel is now effectually blocked,
and the steamers yesterday passed in
and out by the old and crooked chan
mel. Unless Mr.. Lane can be prevented
from stopping the channel the oyster
men will have to cart their oysters
from Belle dock as soon as the harbor
is frozen over.
A member of the harbor commission,
speaking of the case, said that he did
not understand how Mr.. Lane dared to
disregard the action of the secretary of
war in giving permission for the dig
ging of the channel. The contest is
waxing warm.

Their Very improvements Are What Drive

The official belief is that there is lit
tie or no prison made insanity. Prison
doctors are keenly alive to the POSSIBLE
ity of shamming, and they hesitate TO
admit that there is any flaw i'll the sys-
tenn for the administration of which
they are SO largely responsible. Still
the fact remains that the ratio Of insan-
ity i'll prisons has exactly doubled since
1877.
The admitted general increase of in
sanity is not sufficient to account for
this startling fact. Prison discipline is
now more mechanical, and therefore
more depressing. Its very improvements
in this respect take the heart out of a
man" 1t is probable that prisoners
were far happier is the old unreformed
prisons, when they herded together and
had companionship of kind.
An expert witness who had passed
four and twenty years in Jail told the
prison committee some startling things
from the convict's point of view. The
rules, he said, are too minute for human
observance, and some minds are totally
unable TO bear the strain of them. A
man may be reported for knocking
something over in his cell, though il
may be by pure accident The name
for this offense is unnecessary noise. y
As the poor wretches walk their weary
round in the exercise yard one may fall
out of step and thus throw the Others
out. The first offender or the last-any
one, in fact, ON whom the walders eye
happens to falls liable 10 punishment
for this mischance.
In this way the convict gradually &C
quires an expression that never leaves
him-the round the corner glance of {
being who breads Il tyrant on the pounce
