The San Francisco call., 1896-11-13

Mrs. Bunnell the president of the So
ciety, and Mrs. HI. o. Trow bridge, chair
man of the building committee (Which
has just brought the result of its labors
to successful conclusion), have decided
that ladies in private life are not honored
by being pictured i'll the public papers
and have expressed their disapproval OF
OF such illustrations.
For two years Mrs. H. o. Trowbridge
has been before the public in q semi
official capacity. To her, more than to
any other woman, belongs the credit OF
originating the "home production" move
ment in Oakland that gave birth to the
annual exposition. Mrs. Trowbridge last
Christmas personally supervised and ar
ranged the daily entertainments that were
one OF the most successful features of the
show.
During all this time Mrs. Trowbridge
has steadfastly refused to allow her photo
graph to be reproduced in newspaper.
On one occasion she met several newspa-
permen at the Tabernacle, and in response
TO the usual request she set forth her views
very clearly.
~ am a home woman she said. land
OF my home my picture is part. l 90
not wish every person that picks up a
newspaper 20 have the privilege of gazing
at ma and making remarks it they see fit.
My work is solely Of a private nature,
although it brings me somewhat besor o
the public. OF course l know that there
are numerous opportunities at meetings
and elsewhere where sketches could be
made, but hope that my wishes in the
matter will be respected"
Mrs. Trowbridge has been very active in
promoting the new building, but so far
her womanly request has not been re-
fused.
Mrs. G. w. BunnelI holds the same
views as Mrs. Trowbridge. II do not
wish 10 figure prominently" she said,
'and think there is an indication among
ladies to value their pictures TOO lightly.
OF course we like to have nicely illustrated
articles in our newspapers, but there is
our building-a beautiful thing that will
last-make some pictures of it and let
e world see what handsome home the
Ebell Society has. The president is al
ways changing. and / do not approve of
unwarranted notoriety."

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL. !
90S Broadway. Nov. IL

OAhLAND OFFICE CAN RANCISCO CALL,l
906 Broadway, Nov. IL. I
The dissatisfaction of the Merchants
Exchange with the present city charter of
Oakland will probably result in a change.
The merchants have decided that there
are altogether too many departments in
the city government and that not even a
street improvement can be undertaken il
any one branch opposes it.
1.-The Merchants Exchange is quite
right about the foolish details of our char
ter" said Mayor Davie to-day, "and they
only bear out what l have said for the
past two years. Our Board of Works, OF
which l am one-third, is a useless and OBJ
structive body as at present constituted
and should be abolished. 1t is of no value
to the city, but IS an expensive ornament.
TINS Is, however, only one of the draw
backs of the charter. The present COM
plication over the tax levy is another
proof that something should be done right
away.
"The citv ia xes will become delinquent
under the law in few days, and yet the
tax levy for the fiscal year that COM
menced on July l is not yet fixed. The
law declares that after certain date a
large percentage shall be added, and this
taxes are paid. The amount provided by
my levy of 81 is ample, as has been proved
during the past year. The Councils levy
of 81 10 simply provides a large fund for
themto place where it can be OF most use
next spring when the municipal election
comes round. This matter might well
have been fixed months ago.
Some members os the Council have
stated that l s.ould have'fiIed my veto
earlier, but l have good reason for not
doing so. On former occasions when
have sent MESSAGES to the Coun Gil they
have been opened before that body met.
and as soon as they have been read IN the
Council chamber, long typewritten, in
sulting messages have been read in reply.
intended that this should not be the
case this time, and called a special meet

perfect right TO do"

Nye's Experience.

OAKLAND, CAL. Nov. 1.-THE candi-
dates for office at the recent election are
now tilng their campaign expense ac-
count as required by the purity of election
law. One of the best presented to date IS
that OF ex-Judge Stephen G. Nye, who ran
as the Prohibition candidate for Superior
Judge and received i091 votes, while the
party Presidential electors received only
49, Under the statement of expenditures
the Judge says:
Il attended two political meetings dur
ing the cam paign preceding the election.
One, the Prohibition meeting, was opened
with prayer. The other, a Republican
meeting, was opened with a corkscrew.

dressing in uniform the Young Mems Re-
publican League; at least the money was
obtained from me on that pretense; to
whom paid | don't know. Other than
these, with me, it was not a money cam
paign."
Clipped and Indexed.
OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 12.-Librarian
Peterson OF the Public Library in his re-
port to the Trustees, among other things
says:
The clipping of newspapers is another in
| noYation; we are clipping articles from our
Francisco daflies. Departments have been
established such 'Board of Trade ''Mer-
chants Exchange" "City Council" "Board of
Education" ana others of local in terest The
reports OF meetings will be regularly clipped
and properly arranged ready ior reference
| This, believe, will be a very interesting aad
valuable partment OF the library. Many of
these art .cles may never be in book form, or
| accessible, consequently cannot help but be
valuable for reference.
He Was Shocked.
During fire last night Foreman Isaac
! Foster Of Engine Company No. 1 went to
| the roof of the building with bucket of
water 10 dash on the flames. The fire was
| caused by a line of electric wire and when
| the water touched il the current was COM
municated 10 Foster. He received a Sc
we're shock and was thrown against q
chimney, thus preventing him from fall
of fifty fe t to the ground. He soon re-
covered and feels no bad effects from the
experience.
Policemen's Uniforms.
Chief of Police Lloyd has recommended
to the Police and Fire Commissioners that
all of the cloth for police uniforms pass
through the hands of the department and
that if it is not OF required shade or weight
it can be rejected. The plan is the same
as has worked satisfactorily in San Fran
cisco. He favors the adoption of Ameri-
can made goods instead OF the French
beaver now used, as it would be cheaper
and more uniform in color.
