made by the Chiefs of Police and Boards
of Health, but it has been reserved for
Chief Lloyd to receive the first illustrated
complaint of the condition of the pest
hole. 1t is so close to truth and so unmis-
taxable that it will probably bear fruit,
and successive generations of people who
are unable to be trusted with their liberty
may sing peans of praise to the memory
of the "artist tramp"
George William Harriss, the artist ira mp,
is in the Jail at present, and he unhesitat-
ing affirms and will, he says, so state in
IAN affidavit that Oakland's prison is the
meanest place of its kind in the State.
Mr.. Harriss has been in California nearly
four years. About one-fourth of that time
he has been free and the remainder has
been spent in investigating the inner
workings of all the county jails and city
prisons in the State.
81 have had all kinds OF compan ions in
prison." said Mr.. Harriss to-day, ''but 1
have never been so overrun with attention
q in this modern Athens as you call it.
There are some things a gentleman OBJ
jects to. Being used as platform during
sleeping hours for circus and hippodrome
of overgrown rats is one of those objec-
tiopable features to which true Boherlian
is exposed at tlmes-and this Is one OF
those times.
II have been here before, but I believe
there is an element in the municipal
government favorable to Doodle and op-
posed to a tax levy that does not permit of
the prison cook being able to satisfy the
natural cravings of the rats.
ION account of the strict economy now
being practiced in the prison the rats have
to look out for themselves, and it is very
unpleasant for us.
my stay here will not be long, but l
thought that l would do something
toward helping Others who may follow me.
Ihave depicted my first nights experience
here, and trust that the Chief will place it
before the Commissioners. Years ago l
was amused by reading The Pied Piper of
Hamelin, but now it interests me-"
When arrested for drunkenness Harriss
had nothing in his pockets but small
package of crayons and pencils, which he
invariably carries with him. He was once
ar artist IN good standing on New York
paper several years ago. One night there
was spree III tue studio. Harriss knew
nothing about it till next morning, when
he made the discovery that everything
was wrecked. According to Harriss' de-
scription of the wreck of the studio an
ordinary cyclone leas es things ccmpara-
lively unharmed. He took to the road,
and little by little, has developed into a
drunken tramp. He is well educated and
an interesting talker, being great OBJ
server.

Charles Mitchell's Antics Result in
Suit for Divorce and I'm
prisonment.

ALAMEDA, CAL. Oct. 2S.-F. W. Wal
lace and his wife of 2149 Railroad avenue
had an experience at an early hour this
morning with a bold and persistent
burglar. who made several Intellectual
attempts to enter their residence. The
first attempt was made at 1:30 o'clock,
when they were both awakened by some
one trying to saw the lock out OF the back
door.
Mr.. Wallace arose and as he entered the
kitchen he heard the intruder hurrying
away. A little later he heard some one
at the front door. Both arose this time,
and Wallace fred his revolver and Mrs.
Wallace blew her police whistle. An
officer responded, but the intruder had
made himself scarce. About an hour
afterward a stone was thrown violently
against the house. This again brought
into play the whistle and revolver and
policeman. but nothing came of it.
Just before the officer went off duty at
4 O clock ne was again called, as another
attempt had been made to enter the rear
door of the house, but the excitement
within had reached such pitch that both
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace had remained up
and were ready to protect themselves.
Mr.. Wallace is a bookkeeper In San Fran
CISCO and is at loss to understand the
motive of the persistent intruder.
He Made Nice Mess.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct 28.-Mrs. Mary
Mitchell of I'LL Arbor street, wife of
Charles A. Mitchell, who is serving a six
months term in the San Francisco Jail,
to-day filed suit for a divorce. The COM
plant sets forth that they were married
Nav 4, 1888, in San Francisco, and
seven-year- old daughter is the result of
the union.
The plaintiff alleges that she has been
treated in cruel and inhuman manner
since 1898; that her husband often called
her the yilest names and beat and kicked
her.
On one occasion she charges that he held
an ak over her mead, threatening to 'brain
her" when she interfered when he was
beating their daughter for losing glove.
The last charge is in the following Ian
guage:
On August 26, 1896. defendant went to his
home in Alameda and destroyed all the pro-
visions in the pantry; smashed the plaintiff's
sewing machine, rendering it unfit for use ;
destroyed three barrels of -four by emptying
one half of it into box into which he then
threw blackberry preserves, picked butter
and other articles of food, making sickening
mess. He then poured water into the other
half.
Mr.. Mitchell then went to San Francisco and
started in TO continue his war on everything
in sight. He threw q revolver through the
window of the Office of the Chief of Police for
which he is now serving sentence.

:. .The'annual reunion and sociabIe seance
of the schoolteachers of Alameda County
met this morning. It is one of those
gatherings'that is certain of being success
full so. far.as numbers go, because all the
guests are paid. to come and would find a

; ;Clymonds, who can always be depended
upon to do the right thing if it be impos-
sible to dot wrong, sounded the warn
;: ing very .delicatefy. In the programme
. is CONTAINED this little hint. Teachers
should be very careful to hand IN the

!. Leaving out the men, who are a small
minority, the Alameda sehoolteachers
make very prepossessing gathering.
When. County Jlperintendent Garlick
called. them TO order he faced about the
most attractive four hundred that ever
'gazed:at him with dutIful obedience. The
coin ty. stitute. as the gathering is called
=. in the. statute that ordains 1t, is regarded
by the. teachers as their week of tuition
for the year and. they listen with mucn
: the same spirit that is exhibited by

tear the medicine is not very hard to take,
:because AN unusually interesting pro-
j. .gramme has been prepared. Aside from
the educational feature the institute
possesses q value as an indication OF the
fashions and modes prevailing in the
various. parts of the county.
: The. o tkland teacher costume is closely

TO speak: He said he came not as an in
structor, but as a student, and expected
that he would get many practical ideas

spoke on the work of the committee. She
explained the objects of the cause she.
represented and told of the result OF
placing flags. on schools and of the salu-
tation to the flag given in many OF the
schools.
Superintendent Garlick indorseu the
work presented and said that IN making
his first tour in the rural districts be had
frequently located the school by seeing
the flag flying above the tree tops. He
feared the matter of patriotism might be
pyerdone, however, and thus defeat the
gerry purpose for which the salatation was
