other iEcidentals the amateur should be
permitted to have them. OF course, it

There was silence in the room, except
from the corner where the Sacramento
man sat. The great majority were awe
struck at Reinhart's boldness. Those
who were in favor of the radical change
were told TO stani. About eight did SO,
and Relnhart, to the surprise of some,
was hot among them.
II think the man who made the motion
should at least support it," said the Sac
ramento man.
But Reinhart moved not. He had
simply attempted to show by argument
the extent to which amateurism might &c
If permitted. He had put up big bluff
and the convention sustained it by about
four TO one.
The ladies of Fabiola have proved that
they are not in politics. Mrs. John Yule,
the president, may be surprised at this
remark, but for fifteen years this state
ment has been proved annually.
The recent clever manner in which the
Board of Health was changed from home
opathic to allopathic proves clearly that,
even with a Mayor whose lie was saved
by homeopath, the regulars can out
maneuver their rivals. No one will deny
that the regulars of oakland are far more
a BILE politicians than their homeopathic
brethren. for they have on many occasions
demonstrated ii. Not all that The astute
regulars can do, however, can gain Tor
them one point in their long struggle
against the lady managers OF Fabiola. No
political shaft or professional thrust can
disturb them ana the regulars have t
apparently Withdrawn from practice at
that institution.
Had men controlled Fabiola, there is
tact and energy enough among the regu-
lars TO nave done as they pleased at the
hospital years ago. But the Oakland
regulars are men of honor and gallant 10
the last degree, and many political tactics
that might have been employed against
men are, of course, barred against ladies.
This places the regulars at a double dis
advantage, and the ladies cannot be per-
suaded 10 make any more concessions.
All of which makes it very certain that a
long time will elapse before the Alameda
County Medical Society will indorse lady
candidate for Mayor.
And the intre pid ladies calmly said last
week, "These things do not move us."

Touching the matter in hand, An
drous of Los Angeles presented a petit
tion signed by the members of the
Citrus Fruit Growers Association of
Southern California demanding an ade-
quate protective tariff on citrus fruits.
ircluding oranges, lemons, lines and
grapes. The petition was read and on
motion of VOORHEES, of Amador, ordered
spread upon the journal.
LANGFORD REBUKED.
Then Seawell took the floor to rebuke
Langford for his alleged desertion of
his party. Some Democrats, he said,
sometimes got into the Republican
! camp, and there might, of late, have
been an augmentation or increase IN
the number He did not propose to vote
for a proposition advanced by man
pecuniarily interested without invesu-
cation, and imtimated that Langforo
might have interest of that description
i'm the present matter.
| Langford Seawell said, had been very
successful, politically, in the Demo-
cratic party, and it was a question as
to his possibilities with the Repuon-
cans. He contended that vote on the
| resolution should be deferred.
| Androus of Los Angeles said that If
Seawell had worn summer clothes in
winter, as long as had the fruit growers
of California he would not be so keen
to have the matter deferred.
HE GETS RILED.
| But Seawell had riled Langford. The
latter said that in the resolution he had
presented he had evolved something
wherewith to educate Democrats-they
had been benighted long enough. He,
however, repudialted the statement
made by Seawell that he was a Repub-
lican. He contended that he was not.
However there had been an election
last November and a man named Nc
Kinley, who is an avowed apostle OF
protection, had been elected If Mckin-
/ ley was to be the savior of the country,
he 0angford) proposed to stay with
him. With that San Joaquin's Nestor
| Senator sat down and said he would
! talk no more.
| Doty Of Sacramento desired to ask
Langford a question.
L won't talk any more" returned
Langford.
do you believe Mckinley was elect
|
tion?" queried Doty.
II wont talk any more" again an
swered Langford and he kept his word
HOW IT ENDED.
The question being on Seawell's mo-
ton to defer action, it was lost by a
viva voce vote, after which Langford'
resolution was adopted by a strict par
ty vote, Langford voting with the Re
publicans.
And SO ended the third day of tariff
| talk in the Senate, and 1T ended leav-
ing the matter just where it was when
it was raised by Seawell taking excep-
ton to the statement in the Record
| Union," that the Democrats were free
traders, with Incidental tariff for reve-
nue. and favored localities, and at II
| o'clock a. m., ON motion of Dickinson

A rlan Under Arrest at Louisville
Says He is One of the 1urdererS.

LOUISVILLE (Ky), Jan. 1.-Freder-
ick Bauman, alias Wilson, confined in
the County Jail on the charge of for
gerry and obtaining money under false
rretenses claims to have been one of
the murderers of Frank P. Arbuckle
of Denver in New York on November
10Th.
Bauman says that his father is G..
Edward Bauman, a banker at Dear
born and Monroe streets. Chicago
BaunIan said to a reporter to-day:
People have been wondering who
killed Arbuckle in New York. 1 had
hand in that affair, and 1 do not hes
itate to say so. My partner in crime
was Dave Edmunds, an actor, who is
now in Evanston, North Chicago. We
met Arbuckle in Sullivan's saloon In
Harlem. We saw him flash his roll
and when he left Edmunds and myself
concluded we would follow him and
get his money. We had been knocking
about New York for two weeks and
we were completely stranded. 1t was
hand living with us al
best.
"SulIivan's saloon is in Third avenue
nue., where he stood waiting for a car
We pounced upon him Edmunds
used a small slungshot, and I cracked
him over the head with the butt enc
of a revolver We took his money

The chain is now pawned in a shop or

Bauman says Edmunds and himself
left New York by different routes, anG
met in Chicago. From there I went
to Kansas City, where l was arrested
charged with being implicated in the
Chicago and Alton train robbery al

against me, and I was released. Their

Hints About Eating.

The healthiest and purest lives come
from those who do not eat meat before
they are 10.
Potatoes sliced thin and fried are indi-
gestible. They taste delicious, but cause
arrangement of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach; all rich
pastry is poison to the liver and soft
caramels and creams are very bad in
spite Of the protest Of the matinee girl.
Milk is the simplest and most natural
food and if you cannot drink it your
stomach is diseased. Cheese is a good
substitute.
Persons who live mostly on vegetables
have the best nerves and the best COM
plexions.
Red pepper is an excellent condiment
and its effect on the liver is remarkable.
Malaria and intermittent chills cannot
endure the presence of red pepper,
which should be upon every table.
For old persons to eat buckwheat
cakes and syrup, white bread and but
ter, sugar and fat meats is suicide. Let
them feed on cracked wheat potatoes,
barley cakes, fish, rye bread or south
ern corn cakes.
