cluded most exciting tournament, and

good on the bike and goes in for all ath-
letics that a woman can enter.
At the last tournament she came out
second best, being defeated only by Miss
Anna Martin, who had held the champion
ship for three successive seasons. In that
match Miss McCray won the first two
games of the series, but failed to win the
necessary three out of FIVE.

held the championship for two years, is

ance is now being arranged, to be pre-
sented May 19. 1t is intended to make it
the star theatrical event of the season, and
efforts are being made to get all students
to attend. The men are confident that
they will go East, and that the financial
part will not be wanting when the time
comes.
students are planning now for the final
week Of the semester. Most of the final
examinations will be given next week, and
instruction is to end May 22. The gradua-
ton exercises and ceremonies will extend
through the week following. On the even
ing OF May q the Choral Society of the

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 14.-One of
the most important purchases OF real
property made here for years was con-
summated to-day when Fred W. Wood, j.
M. Elliott and Joseph Beaudry, trustees
for the estate of P. Beaudry, deceased,
transferred to ]. A. Muir, division super
intendent of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company, the remaining portion OF
the Beaudry Water Works tract in this
city, consisting of about four acres of land.
The purchase price, including several lots
heretofore purchased by the company
from this estate, is $4,000.
There are eighty-nine lots in the transfer
OF to-day, and they form nearly a perfect
triangle with San Fernando and Alameda
streets as sides and College street as a base
line. 1t is touched by upper Main street,
while the line of North Main street is lust
to the east of it.
The company has been trying to make
terms for this land for years. 1t now has
frontage on Alameda street of more than
1000 feet frontage, extending from the
apex of the triangle to Naud's warehouse.
The railroad people decline to say for
what purpose this body of land will be
used in future, and even refuse to confirm
the statement as to the sale; but 1t is easy
to understand that it means combined
passenger and freight depot in Los An
geles. This, it is known, has been the
plan of the company for several yeare. 1t
is debatable whether or not this very ac-
cessible and eligible site is meant to be a
site for the union depot this city has long
agitated and hoped for.

mum Der OF checks-one for $4,000, drawn by
the County Treasurer in favor of the State
Treasurer. Orly about $3.50 was taken in
cash. Miller and Templeton were strang-
ers in The Dalles, but Robbins is resi-
dent Of the city,
An interesting feature OF the case was
the arrest of Robbins. Postmaster Cros-
sen, in company with Sheriff Driver, re-
visited the place at o'clock the next
morning and found button from coat.
In the meantime the authorities had beer
led to suspect man named Bert Robbins
of the crime, and their next step was to
examine Robbins coat. Going to where
he and his wife lived, at Mrs. Brittain's,
they induced her to 60 into their room
and carelessly remark that she had found
button, asking if it belonged to him.
He at once unsuspectingly claimed it, and
on that evidence the officers arrested him
on charge of burglary.

An Ex-MAToR,s TROUBLES.
Mrs. Lees Charges against Eugene j.
Gregory of Sacramento.


SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 14.-The
preliminary examination of ex-Mayor
Eugene ]. Gregory, who was arrested at
the instance of Mrs. Bruce B. Lee upon
three charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses, was commenced in Justice
Henry's court this afternoon.
The complainant was put upon the stand
and testified that she became acquainted
with Mr.. Gregory during the session of the
State Fair in 1892 and some months later
she had written to him in relation to
money matters. She wrote him because
he belonged to an old and well-known
commercial family and because he was the
Mayor of Sacramento. She desired to in
vest in Sacramento, her old home.
In answer to her letter Gregory wrote
advantage of investments in Sacramento
and Offering to assist her in placing her
money in O safe place.
Mr.. Gregory afterward called on her at
her home in Red Bluff and paid her
marked attentions, and an extended cor
respondence followed. Eventually she re-
ceived letter in which Mr.. Gregory. after
writing about some pieces of music, told
her his firm was willing to take $4,000 or
more of her money He told he- that her
letters would be seen by no one but him
self. All she had to do was to write him
two words, "Gene, come" and he would
soon be with her. He told her she was his
only personal correspondent. The writer
told her he thought much of her because
OF her candor and confidence and said he
would never abuse either.
Several letters were introduced in evi-
dence and the case was continued until to-

How to Renew Mirrors and Frames.

Boil some onions, barely covered with
water, till quite soft. Pour off the wa
ter and wash the frames with it. Then
cover them with a newspaper to keep
the dust from them until they are quite
dry. This makes them bright and clean
and is most inexpensive process. Aft
er having cleaned the frames the mir
rors will want attention. To remove
fly marks put some ball blue on a
slightly damp cloth and rub the glass
hard This will efface the stain and
brighten the glass. 1t can afterward be
polished with newspaper. The ugly
marks which appear on a dilapidated
looking glass mean that the silvering at
the back has worn off in places. To
renew this take half an ounce of tin,
8 ounces Of bismuth and half an
ounce of lead, melt them together and
when slightly cool add three ounces of
mercury. With hare's foot paint the
back Of the glass with this mixture.

HOW TO SERVE FRUIT.
xeS Cold and Refreshing ON Delicate
China.

xes Cold and Refreshing ON Delicats
China.
Fruits are delicious when joined with
for hot weather luncheon or dinner-the
more fruits the better. Pineapple lem
onade is delicious also. To slice pine
apple is to offend the gods. Get the peel
of and then shred the fruit with stout
silver fork. GRADUATED sugar is an
abomination ON fruit; use powdered
sugar and sift it before sending it to the
table. A fruit dish that will tempt the
appetite Of an invalid-and, of course,
Of anybody else-is peach foam. Put
cupful Of fine peaches (cut into small
bits after peeling) in a bowl with half
cup OF powdered sugar and the white of
one egg. Beat with silver fork until
you have creamy, velvety mass, which
will take about half an hour. Chill in
the refrigerator and serve. Whipped
cream should always be served with
sliced peaches to hide the discolorations
that cannot be prevented.
Grapes should be dipped in ice water
two or three times and drained quite
dry before serving. 1t is better to wash
them over night if designed for break
fast
All fruit looks nicer ON delicate, light
china. A few leaves in the fruit dish
add wonderfully to the effect upon the
eyes, and the eyes coax the appetite
when nothing else will.
Melons suit our end of the century
palates best when they are chilled.
Watermelons should never be sliced,
but should be scooped out in an appetite
ing pink mass after having been on the
ice for some hours. The best way to
serve large one is to divide it into
quarters and send a quarter to the
table on large platter. BY scooping
the melon in serving there is no rind to
he given to the guest to flop and floun-
der about on his plate.
Catalogues should be served in
halves. Therefore select the small ones.
Half the people who serve them send
partially green ones to the table. The
ripe, butter yellow ones have the incest
flavor, and they usually have very
dark outer skin. Scrape the seeds out
and drain each half and serve with q
couple Of spoonfuls Of cracked ice in the
hollow left when the seeds disappear.
