BECAUSE SHE is MARRIED
Mrs. Shockley Doubts the Ex-
planation of Her Failure to
Be Reelected.
MANY Married Women Retained, but
She Was the Only One
Dropped.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
90S Broadway June %


Mrs. Harriet B. Shockley, who was
dropped from the roll of the teachers in
tie public schools week ago without any
explanation, is making an investiga-
ton as to the reason for her non-election.
So far she has only been able to learn
that she was dropped because she was a
married woman, but so long as many
other married women are in the depart
ment Mrs Shockley does not believe that
was the reason.
The Oakland Board of Education elects
teachers every year in secret session. No
one in the department is certain of more
than a year of service, and there is great
fear and trembling every time the first
Monday in June comes around.
No reason is given when teacher is
dropped, and the members of the board
say that the object of the secret session is
to protect the regulations of the teachers,
as a public discussion would be very un-
pleasant.
This explanation is the source of much
feeling on the part OF teachers who fail OF
reelection, as they naturally infer that
they are dropped because of some dere-
liction of duty or incapacity. This Is a
very unpleasant experience for the teach
ers, but there IS no remedy.
Mrs. Shockley is not satisfied to let mat.
ters rest. She has been attached to the
department for some years. Last year a
rule was introduced forbidding the re-elec-
ton of any woman teacher who had hus-
band living. but it failed of passage.
81 have been told by one School Direc-
tor" said Mrs. Shccklev to-day, "that
was dropped because l am married
woman. This explanation would be a
good one if all the other married women
were dropped, but such Is not the case. l
am not satisfied with the manner in which
/ was dropped, and l propose to investi-
gate and see what it all means"
Married or Not?
OAKLAND, CAL, June 22.-Mrs. D. D.
Baroteau, the divorced wife of Baron Ba-
roteau, who was freed from matrimony q
week ago, reported to her friends to-day
that she had married Jack Troy. Mrs.
Baroteau is 48 years old and Mr.. Troy is
%. When seen this evening Mr.. Troy de-
MED that he was married, and there is. no
record of any license having been issued
to the couple,
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-23

his own affairs, everybody knew of his
approaching wedding. A few days ago the
following invitation was received by scores
of his friends in this city:
Mr.. and Mrs. a. Greenberg request the pleas
ure of your company a. the wedding of their
daughter Hinda to Meyer Cohen, Sunday
June 81, 1896, at O'Clock P. NJ, 15S South
Eighth street, San Jose, Cal.
Meyer told large-sized stories of the in
dividual wealth of the bride-elect and of
the settlement that his father-in-law was
to make to him, and there were many who
thought him very fortunate in his
prospects. He was here last Thursday
but has not been seen since, and several of
his friends went to San Jose yesterday to
be present al the wedding. AS told in to-
days dispatches, everything and every
body were present at the lovely Green nberg
home except the groom-elect. Search has
been made for Cohen to-day but no one
has been able to find him, and all sorts of
rumors are rife as to the cause of his abb
sence at such a critical time.
Cohen is an Oakland reporter He has
worked on all the papers over here and
went East about three years ago, return
ing last fall. He is of a very affable nature
and is generally liked. His many ac-
quaintances believe that he Will turu up
and give a good account of himself, as it is
not at ali III aCcOTudnCe Win ms USUAL ue-
havior to be ungallant to the ladies.
He was secretary of the baseball league
that went to pieces a few months ago and
has filled many transient positions as
doorkeeper at the tabernacle and promoter
of public concerts.
A little incident occurred a few weeks
ago that has an added significance at t is
time. The city editor of local paper pub
lished notice of the wedding and sarcas-
tically concluded thus: "The marriage
may take place June D." Cohen was mad
when he saw the notice and visited the
Office with the intention of having re-
venge. Nobody was killed, however, and
the editor stated to-day that he had prophe-
sled more wisely than he had intended.
A brother of Miss Greenberg, the de-
serted bride, has been in Oakland to-day
seeking Cohen and an explanation, but
has not found either.

A FLOATING BODY.
Bridge-Tender William Potts Sees a
Body Floating, but Fails to
Secura If

OAKLAND, CAL, June 22.-William
Potts, the tender of the Webster-street
bridge over the estuary, says he saw body
of man float under the bridge at 6 80
o'clock this morning, but he failed to Sc
cure it. He says it was the body of an
elderly man, lying face downward in the
water without hat. The top of the head
was bald and ON the back there was a
growth of grayish sandy hair.
According TO Potts story the tide was
carrying the body away when he saw it, and
be being in very frail craft was afraid it
would upset him if he started to tow it in.
After he got better boat he failed 10 find
the corpse and declared that it sunk. He
rowed aro und for some time but could find
no trace of it. He thinks the clothes
caught upon nail on the tim oers of the
bridge and the tide sucked 1t downward.

Minister, Appears to Be Preparing
for the Last Call.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 22.-The Rev.
Benjamin Akerly, rector emeritus of the
ST. Johns Episcopal Church, is rapidly
declining and old age and general weak
ness are fast drawing the career of the
popular minister to an end. For the past
two weeks he has been confined to his bed,

Father Akerly, as he is reverently called
by the whole population of the city, was
one of the first clergymen to establish a
church in Oakland, and during his LONG
ministerial career he has christened, mar
ried and buried more people than probably
any ether two ministers of Oakland. He
is nearly so years of age, half OF which
has been spent in church work.

UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
A Stranger Shoots Himself on the
Steamer Piedmont and Dies in
the Hospital.

OAKLAND, CAL, June %. A man
about 60 years of age, having the appear
ance of being Mexican or West Indian,
shot himself in the head on the ferry boat
Piedmont on her IL o'clock trip from San
Francisco this morning and died from the
effects of the wound at the Receiving Hos
pitai this afternoon at 3 clock.
He stood outside of the chain on the
rear end of the boat, and evidently in
tended that his body should fall into the
bay and sink, for each pocket of his over
coat was filed with shot. But he fell in
the opposite direction, and was taken care
OF by the deckhands, and, upon the arri-
val of the boat at the long wharf, he was
sent to the Receiving Hospital. The bull
let entered his brain and caused uncon-
seriousness from which he never recovered.
The revolver snapped twice before going
off, The boat was opposite Goat Island
when the tragedy occurred.
The only means for Identification found
upon the suicides person was a satchet of
powder put up at Flint's pharmacy of this
city bearing the name of V. P. Smith,
Downieville. Cal. He had been a sufferer
from jaundice, and i'll health may have

OAKLAND, CAL, June 22.-The Young

media County, the representative or
ganzaton OF the party in this county,
held large and enthusiastic meeting this
evening. when they took steps to stem the
Teller tide that appears to be raising
steadily in their party. The following
declarations were adopted unanimously as
expressive of the party sentiment of this
vicinity:
The Young Mems Peoples Party Club of
Alameda County stands aghast at the assump-
ton OF certain members of the National Com
miitee, under the Craftsmanship OF H. E.
Taubenech, with the tide of success setting
toward our standard, to surrender the grand
principles of the Peoples party to the single
issue OF free silver, and passing by rried and
true Populists TO advise the acceptance of a
candidate fresh from the Republican party,
who repudiates being a Populist. While we
respect the honesty and manhood of Henry
NJ. Teller, we recognize in Senator NJ. V. Allen
OF Nebraska true Populist, sound upon the
silver issue and worthy of the support of the
party that he has so honored in the halls of
National legislation. We affirm our belief that
sincere friends of financial reform should rally
to the Peoples party, which declared for tree
silver In che Omaha platform, and is capable of
dealing with this as with every other great
issue before the American people.
