HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Reading that Will Prove Inter
esting to Young Mothers rs-How TO
Guard Against the Disease

Group is a terror to young moth
ers, and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object Of this
item. The origin Of Group is a com
mon cold. Children who are sub
iect to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow The
first symptom is hoarseness; this IS
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act
is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear Even
after the croupy cough has deyel'
oped it will prevent the attack
There is no danger in giving this
remedy, for it contains nothing IN
furious. For sale by Smith Drug

R0THSCHILDS' FORTUNE.

The most recent estimate of the
combined fortunes of the Roth
schilds is ten thousand million francs
or about 5000, 900, 200, 900, or double
the amount it was eighteen years
ago. Professor Rodolphe Mayer
has calculated that it will continue
to double every fifteen years, and
if something extraordinary does not
happen before 1895 the sum tota
will then be 10000, 100000 sixty
thousand million dollars. With the
interest of the later sum the popu,
lation of France can be supported.
This may help to explain why socia-
lists believe the concentration of
capital-of which Rothschildism is
only one form-is bound to force So
cialization.

Miss Maud Quacken bush is the 16-year-
old daughter of a divorced Berkeley con-
tractor. Some time ago her father ar
ranged for her to have the matronly care
that is to be found at the Chabot Home,
and the young lady was placed in charge
of Mrs. Glud, who was in charge of that
institution. All was going well, when the
matron met with severe accident about
three months ago, the effect of which has
been to confine her to her home ever
since.
Miss Maud is very clever little GIRL
Naturally pretty, with fair hair and an
innocent unassuminG manner, she was
enabled to somewhat deceive Mrs. Giud' s
successor. BY various pretexts she man
aged to take quite number of trips into
Oakland without exciting any suspicion.
Finally it came to the matron's ears that
her ward was having clandestine meetings
with young man named Williams. The
young lady confessed her regard for Viii
liams and hinted that if she were es-
tranged that they might take matters into
their own hands.
AS last resort it was decided to send
the girl to her mother who lives in Chi
cago. She was informed of the eontem-
plated plan, and at once made arrange
ments with her lover to Illustrate it. 1t
was agreed between them that he should
go East on the same train and that they
should get off at some way station and be
married. Girl-like she took one or two
intimate friends into her confidence, and
before the day set for her departure ar
rived the matron of the Chabot Home and
Mrs Prescott were informed of the plans.
Mrs. Prescott took Miss Quacken bush to
her home and carefully guarded her so
that she could not make her escape and
get away on the same train with young
Williams. Monday night Williams got
on board the eastbound train, but Miss
Maud did not. She was kept at Mrs.
Prescott's house till last night, when she
was taken to the train and placed aboard,
and when she arrives at Chicago she will
be met by her mother. Miss Maud is evil
IDENTIFY not an expert at deception, for she
left at the Chabot Home q note from her
lover in which all their plans were out
lined, and had she not told any one of her
intended elopement the letter itself would
have frustrated her plans. When told
last night that she was going to leave for
Chicago within an hour she was greatly
surprised. for she was not aware when she
was to leave, being purposely kept in lg-
norance so that she could not make any
more arrangements with her youthful

BURNED THE SWITCHBOARD
Freaks of Lightning in the Hayward
Telephone Ofice-The Operator
Shocked

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 30.-An electric
storm of short duration passed over Ala
media County this evening. About 5
o'clock there was one brilliant fash of
lightning Immediately succeeded by loud
peal of thunder.
About mile to the westward OF Hay
wards the lightning struck the telephone
wires and the remarkable sight was pre-
sented OF a sheet OF flame suspended be-
tween the poles It hung there. for sew
eral minutes and presented weird sight
against the dark background of the sky.
The electric fluid travelled along the wire
toward Haywafds and communities ated the
Ahre 10 the switchboard where the operator,
Hiss Nora o Brien, was sitting.
Suddenly the telephone Office was bril-
liantly Illuminated, but it was only Tor
an instant, as the appliances providing for
such emergency quickly received the cur
rent and prevented a conhagration.
Of the thirteen wires leading to the
HayWards central Office, twelve were de-
stroyed and six wires connecting with the
s. Siockton current were also burned. Miss
O Brien had her hand on the switch board

BERKELEY POLITICS.
Excitement Over Tes timony in Court
That Town Marshal Lloyd Was
Oxicated.

BERKELEY, CAL. Dec. 30.-Marshal
Lloyd declares that politics is responsible
for the testimony IN court yesterday that
he was intoxicated while making the ar
rest of P. A. linda, who was charged
with keeping his saloon open after mid
night. A town election will be held in
Berkeley in few months and the friends
of Lloyd assert that an effort is being
made to spoil his chances for reelection.
On the other hand, linda and two other
witnesses swore in court that the Marshal
was under the influence of liquor. Lloyd
admitted to having had a number OF
drinks, and the affair has attracted much
attention, especially among those who
had begun to watch the political pot.
According to the testimony Lloyd en-.
tered Undas place and took several
drinks of whisky. and at the time he made
the charge against linda was in a most
befuddled state. Lloyd denies all this,
and those who were with him shortly be-
fore he entered the saloon corroborate the
assertion that he was sober

following to say regarding the much-dis-

following to say regarding the much-dis-
cussed farewell sermon and Mr.. Payne's
attitude:
AS 10 the warning to all young men, Mr.
Payne gives US the material whereby we can
picture the young man of about % years
starting to his new field OF labor full of the
lottiest aspirations, hope and spirit of in
trepidity; he was going in response to call
ology and evangelistic temperament, " but in
less than four years he failed in all these re-
quirements; his friends at Oberlin had be-
iieved that he possessed them to an uncommo n
degree; he undoubtedly believed so himself,
else he was dishonest, yet he failed; it is q
warning to all young men.
Again Mr. Payne saps the powerful influence
OF the university led him from orthodoxy to
Unitarianism; that the influences antagonis-
tic TO the old faith such as were not encoun-
tered in the orthodox home led him to throw
away the old faith. This is a warning TO all
young men who come to Berkeley.
Again he says OF the acceptance OF that call
to Berkeley in 1874: 81 looked upon it as q
settlement to a life work, but events turned
out differently" What does this mean If it is
not an admission of failure as to his life work?
l will admit that such an admission may not
have been a sad one. Still the general tone of
the sermon is downcast in spirit not from the
weight of the present alone but also of the
past, possibly of the future.
Again Mr. Payne says: "I was once theo-
Logan, but am free 10 confess that am not o
theologian to-day" Whence this change?
Has he not said that it was due to the power
full influence of the State University? He
came here as the valiant champion OF ortho-
doxy and in less than four years he was be-
ginning to oppose it. Abortion is failure.

Until forced to apply to the Supervisors for
help the little woman lived on the sale
of heirlooms. One by one they were sold
for bread and butter aud among her pa
irons were the wealthiest ladies in Oak
land.
In a little tin case in her room were
found some documents, one Of which IS
more than a century old and which
clearly establishes her descent from one
OF the noblest of the Scottish families of
the last century. The old document is a
unique certificate issued to her grand
father, Baron Ross, on April 3, 1856, by
St. Muneo's Lodge of Masonry at Glas-
cow, Scotland. Tie document is sealed
over o ribbon that was blue 100 years ago,
but with the exception of one little spot,
is now yellow. All the ornamental work,
and there is a great deal of it on the
parchment was done by hand, and the
colorlng is well preserved. 1t recon-
mends John Ross to the good will of Ma
sons all around the globe, and is signed
by @. r. B. Niven, r. w. n.
The deceased was the daughter of Sir
James Montgomery, who was a memb ber
of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Ireland.
In the tin case referred to clearance GER
tificate was found which was granted him
on April 8, 1872. Another relic found in
the old Viscountess' rooms is an ancient
punchbowl that came into the possession
of the family in Scotland in 1772 and has
been given 10 successive brides in the fam

with Masonic characters.
Mrs Booth prior to her death, told

shows how one nnflial act can wreck the

stabbed to death by Italians, and vet an
other expired after one days illness while

at the moment the lightning came, but
she was not seriously shocked, although
ii is nothing short of miraculous that she
was not badly burned.
Il cannot describe it," said Miss o. Brien
tonight, "for IL took place so very sud-
denly. felt slight shock and instantly
ishtning seemed to be dancing about all
over the witchboard. There was smell
of burning, bat the on-conductors shut
off the current the instant it reached
them"
The telephone office where the light
ming struck is about a block and a half
from where lightning struck and destroyed
the electric light plant a year ago. At
that time the electric fluid was carried
into the dynamos over the wires and the
largest of them exploded with a report
like thunder.
People residing in that neighborhood
no longer believe in the aphorism that
lightning never strikes twice in the same

PAYNE SCORES ROBBINS.
A Berkeley Unitarian and Congrega-
tionalist at Outs-Reply and
Rfjoinder.

hPJOlnuer
BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 30.-The Rev.
E. B. Payne, late of the Berkeley Unita-
rian Church. and the Rev, ]. Clarke Rob-
bins of the North Berkeley Congregational
Church, have engaged their pens and
tongues in a bitter controversy over the
formers farewell sermon of last Sunday
Mr.. Robbins declared that the sermon
was gloomy lamentation voicing the Uni
tarian's disappointment at life and his
failure to find peace and satisfaction in
his doctrines. "rhe sermon is warning
to all young men," declared the Congrega-
tiGnalist.
To-day Mr.. Payne replied with a bitter
attack upon orthodoxy, as represented by
Mr.. Robbins, and defining his own posi-
tlon as searcher after truth.
II have not found all he truth l ex-
pected to find or shall yet find, said Mr.
Payne, ''and | am not so sure of what I
have as are some loud dogmatists whose
petty traditional svstems'were found for
them long ago by somebody ese."
As to astrology Mr.. Payne said: IT
feel only contempt for the sort of ortho-
doxy that judges things by the amount of
peace and satisfaction they afford, for
peace and satisfaction are not what ra-
tional manly souls are after, but truth
and reality.
"Mr Robbins warning to young men
is nothing but warning to them to ab-
stain from honest search for truth in order
to be more happy by being saved oy the
old, regular orthodox and warranted pro-
cess"

the name of the Rev. w. w. Scudder, D. d.,
was used in to-day's report of very ordi-
nary divorce case. DIR. Scudders name
was brought into the case in very casual
way, and the testimony OF every divorce
case tried in open court can be made to

facts of the case are to be found in to-day's

Mr.. Scudder was seen in his study in

media, tonight by CALL representative,
but refused to make any answer to the ar
ticle. II have nothing to say" said the
gentleman, and no amount of persuasion
would draw another word from him.

NOT A MURDER.
The West Oakland Mystery Cleared Up
by Two Lads With Air


OAKLAND, CAL. Dec. 30.-The mystery
regarding the remains of the man found
at the mole yesterday has been cleared up.
John Conlan was not shot before he was
run over by the train.
The holes in his face were made by two
boys named Eddie Dolan and Elma Nc
Bride, both of Willow street, who used an
air gun on the piece of the mans face not
knowing that it was part of Conlan. They
told their story to Detectives Shorey and
Holland to-day, and the buckshot used by
them is similar to that found in the man s
face.
The dead mans relatives assert that he
was not intoxicated when he was killed,
but that he frequently indulged in liquor
quite freely.
II The inquest held tonight resulted in a
verdict by the jury of accidental death.
Engineer Robert Aiken of the Alameda
local train testified that Conlon must have
been struck by his (the 5 80 o'cock) train,
as he found a jawbone in the fre-box and
there was blood on the trucks of the en-
CINE.
