POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB
Our Country's Sin Is Selfshness,
It's Virtue Independ-
ence.
DR.. Bovard Has Acted Successfully as
Policrman-Jewish Residents to
Combine to Form School.

ALAMEDA, CAL. July 2S.-The Politi-
cal Equality Club met last night at the
house of Mrs. E. A. Smith, 1725 Alameda
avenue. Mrs. Nico Beck-Meyer delivered
a philosophic address on the status of
women of past times in the home and the
nation that held the attention of her nu-
merous listeners. Drawing the lesson to
be learned from pre-existing generations,
she said that each nation had its weak
ness and its strength. Our own country's
sin is selfishness; its virtue, independ-
ence. Politics should be the expression of
the deepest love of a nation. Our work is
to write everlasting laws of Justice and
fulfill them. 1t is legacy we owe to the
coming generation, and now is our time
to do it. Ignorance of these vital ques-
tions is only another name for seltishness.
Mrs. Beck-Meyer closed by reading an ex-
tract from a Danish book describing the
organizing and executive power of a wise
and good woman.
Miss Jane Roulston Of San Francisco
made very earnest speech. She held
that "we are on the verge of a mighty
crisis unparalleled in history. and we
should feel proud that we live at time
when such conditions exist and we are
here to meet them"
In speaking of her own sex she declared
she had no patience with women. "Some

NO TEACHERS ELECTED.
The Board Is Unable to Unite Upon
Candidate for Drawing
Teacher.

OAKLAND, CAL, July 27.-The Board
of Education met last evening 10 elect q
teacher for the cooking school and the
drawing department, but after being in
session over two hours adjourned without
doing either.
Director MCMILLAN moved to have the
matter OF selecting a cooking teacher
laid over until the regular meeting in
order that the board might know the
exact number of pupils they were going to
have in that department. When Director
Knox stated that it was necessary for
the pupils to study chemistry for six
months preparatory to taking up the
practical work the board agreed to let the
matter 60 over.
Director Moody made the suggestion
that called the board together last night
to elect drawing teacher. When he took
the floor and moved that the matter be
prised. Director Mcmillan came to his
rescue and together they tried to get
postponement.
President Clement caused laugh when
he asked Mr.. Moody if the meeting was
not called at his request. He admitted
the impeachment and looked considerably
crestfal,en as he took his seat.
Paul Garin, w. w. Fceg and Miss Flor
ence Jackson were placed in nomination.
The first ballot stood: Garin 5. Fogg 8.
Jackson l. Two more ballots resulted the
same. On the fourth the jackson vote
changed to Fogg and one OF CAIRNS. In
the fifth it stood the same and then the
board decided to take Director Moody's
advice and lay the matter over a week.
Secretary McClymonds reported over
1000 pupils in school for the opening day.

sity. Professor King arrived from the
East on last Saturday, having come to
California for the purpose of investigating
the systems of irrigation practiced on the
coast.
Professor Hilgard escorted him about
the botanical gardens, agricultural exDeri-
ment station, tobacco patches and through
the greenhouses and conservatories. The
distinguished Wisconsin professor was
appalled, at the sight of certain
kinds of vegetation growing in a
prolific state without water, which
If in his State would wither away and die

grapevines, native gourds, ever-blooming
acacia and myriad OF ordinary vegeta-
hles and flowers breaking their very stalks
with such rank growth of foliage, grow
ing wholly without irrigation.

CHANCES AGAINST HIM
Gas He Inhaled on Monday
Evening

OAKLAND, CAL, July 2s.-Mr. Winnie,
the contractor who was found nearly as
phyxiated in an Office of the Builders Ex-
change yesterday morning, is still uncon-
scious and the doctors pronounce his case
as surely fatal. Each hour draws him
closer to the grave.
The physicians hoped this morning that
he might gain consciousness, but as the
day drew toward close they lost hope.
His wife and friends are with him at the
Receiving Hospital, and attendants are
doing all in their power for him.
he had been in poor health for some
time, and as he had lost considerable of
late, besides,being out of employment, it is
thought that he attempted suicide rather

DECLINED SECOND PRIZE.
Mr.. Johnson Wished First or
Nothing in the Cake
Walk.
He Cried Out Against the Injustice
to Himself and His
Lady.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, I
9Q8 Broadway. July %.

908 Broadway, July g.
The cake-walk at the Macdonough The
ater tonight was more than a success.
One of the candidates created a sensat tion
and received a storm of Kisses by refusing
the second prize, because he thought he
should have been awarded the first.
Mr.. Johnson was very mad at the result,
and took advantage of his opportunity TO
deliver a short lecture to the fashionable
audience. Popularity should not govern
this contest said Mr.. Johnson. "Only
merit should count and on behalf of my
self and lady 1 decline the second prize"
The occasion was the farewell. benefit to
ex-manager G. Z. Cooke and the cake
gramme. There were five couples and at
the close John the porter at Hanni-
fms, was declared by judges and audience
to have earned the gold watch. John
made speech, but when Mr.. johnson was
awarded the order for a suit of clothes he
scornfully declined.
'tMaior' Waters was therefore declared
the winner of the second prize. The
major is Oakland 7-foot colored man and
he received the order for the clothes very
gallantly.
The major is, every inch of his s4,
gentleman. He made speech of than ks,
and assured his numerous friends in the
audience that he would be seen on Broad
way on Sunday dressed in his new suit.
The major also said he would be "at
home" tomorrow to any of his friends
who might wish to call and congratulate
him, and as he did so he bowed very cour-
teously to the fashionable coteries in the
boxes. ''Joe,' the proprietor of shoe
black stand, was awarded the third prize,
large cake. The affair created great en-
thusiasm, and the ruffled temper of Mr..
Johnson only served to add a new but
welcome number to the programme.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-29

As result the autopsy was very dis
tinguished affair. Mayor Davie, Presi-
dent Mott of the City Council, Council
men Bassett, Buckland, Heitman and
Watkinson, Expert kaufman, Health OFF,
Ger Bradley and Drs. Laskey and Shuey
were there officially. Drs. Nickerson,
Pratt. De la Rue, Buehle, Sill, Boyes, Will
son, Fisher and Akerly were there profess
sionally and the Berkeley Health Officer,
was there from curiosity.
There were also others there to whom
the test meant thousands of dollars. They
were the dairymen and they were, per-
haps, more interested than any other
class,
When the august assem- blage had nerved
itself to the point of watching the slaugh-
ter. the animal was LED out. 1t was a
pure Durham and appeared to be very
healthy animal. 1t belonged to DIR.
Wheeler and no one had any idea that it
was diseased. Last Saturday night it was
treated with tuberculing and it at once
showed signs of consum ption by its rising
temperature.
Two butchers in full uniform took charge
of the animal. There is nothing very
delicate about cow-killing and most OF
those present turned their heads. Vine IN
they looked again the animal was dead.
A few minutes later its vitals were ex-
posed and the sub-maxiliary glands proved
the truth of the symptoms developed by
the test. The lungs, although to lesser
degree. also contained tubercules, ana
everybody was satisfied that the cow had
consumption.
The main object of DR.. Pierce in having
the autopsy public was to impress upon
the Councilmen the necessity of providing
a fund for the purchase of tuberculin and
adopting at once the pending ordinance.
Carriages had been ordered for II
o'clock, and when the distinguished guests
returned to the City Hall they were all
convinced of the immediate necessity OF
action.
Dairyman Fay had doubts about the
tuberculin test being always reliable
one. He said the only symptom it pro-
duced was a rise in the temperature of the
animal and he thought that this might be
produced by some other cause. He be-
lieyed that if the ordinance requiring this
test was passed by the Council the dairy
men would have to 60 out of business.
Dairyman Fox did not look at the mat
ter in exactly the same light as Mr.. Fay.
He said that, while it was a hardship for
owners of dairy cattle to have them con-
demued, vet they ought not to expect to
be allowed to sell the product OF diseased
cows to the public.

women are no better than beasts" she
said. Though not prepared to say what
the immediate effect on politics woman
would have, she held II as an axiom that
two strong human beings are better than
one.
To her mind it was necessary that
woman suffrage in California be made
possible this year, or the cause of woman
would receive a serious setback.
Green Majors also spoke, his theme
being that as property rights are elevated
so surely are human rights and equality
OF rights decreased and degraded.
Mrs Longs remarks were confined to
the necessity of CARRYING on the work of

ley. Frank L. Naylor, son of A. W. Nay
lor, cashier of the Commercial Bank, was
married to Miss Olive A. Squires, Mrs.
Rebecca Naylor, mother of the groom and
a regularly authorized preacher in the
Quaker church, tying the knot.
The ceremony was simplicity in itself,
all the formality usually attending up-to
date weddings being absent. When the
hour for the ceremony came the bride
and groom entered the wedding room
arm in arm and took their places in front
of the lady pastor. They were attended
by no one, not even little flower girls. =
There was no giving away of the bride
by her father nor attendance by maids OF
honor or groomsmen. Having walked
into the room of ceremony and taken
their station in window, Rev. Mrs.
Naylor made a few Introductory remarks,
asking if any one objected to the union,
and if not 20 forever hold your peace"
Requesting the contracting parties to
grasp right hands and asking if each ac-
cepted the other 'for better or worse"
she pronounced them husband and wife.
A prayer concluded the ceremony and
then Mr.. and Mrs. Naylor were introduced
to the guests.
There was a conspicuous absence of
'sthee'' and ''thou" in the ceremony,
which are often present on such occasions
where Quakers are concerned The newly
married pair left on the evening express
for Shasta, where they will spend their
honeymoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Naylor will live on Shst-
tuck avenue upon their return from the
North. About fifty guests were present at
the ceremony.
