BROKE A R0BBER'S RIBS.
DIR. Crowley of Oakland Shows His
Prowess With the AIittens.

Dr. Crowley of Oakland Shows His
Prowess With the BIittens.
, OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 8.-The gilded
youth of this city, which has recently
exhibited greater interest than ever in
the manly art, is fighting shy of one of
Oakland's best-known physicians and for
good reason.
The establishment where Turkish baths
are to be had at all hours has long been
the resort of the young bloods, and here
many spirited little goes with the gloves
have been Witnessed. all in friendly
spirit, but none the less exctinr for that.
Dr. Crowley is an athlete of no mean
attain ments, and he likes nothing better
than to'don the mittens for u few rounds.
One day after his usual rub the doctor
looked about for boxer to try him out,
blu, none being around he bantered the
rubber, WHO is known as William 10
don the gloves.
"Come on, William; mix it, )" yelled DR..
Crowley, as he began 10 warm up.
An instant later swinging right COL
lided with Williams BIS and the look of
concern deepened to one OF pain.
i've got enough, doctor" he gasped as
his breath rrturned, and he forthwith
pulled off the gloves and returned to his
rubbing. He had finished his second
patron when sharp pain in his side made
him catch his breath and be harried out
to where DR.. Crowley was making his tot
let for the street.
''There is something wrong with my
ribs here where you hit me. DOCTOR" be
said, land | wish you would look 1T ii.
rapid examination showed the medico
that two of Williams ribs were cracked,
and before he left the baths Williams was
swathed in bdndages and told TO keep quiet
until his hurts were better.
DR.. Crowley has had difficulty in getting
opponents since the matter became known
to his athlet friends

WANT COUNTY SUPPORT.
Commercial Bodies in Various Towns
Will Supply the Necessary Material.

Commercial Bodies in Various Towns
Will Supply the Necessary Material.
OAKLAND. CAL, Jan. S.-The various
commercial bodies from all parts OF the
county are anxious to contribute material
and to maintain a permanent county
exhibit, but they have reached the con-
clusion that the Supervisors should pro-
vide small monthly appropriation for
the rent OF a hall and services of janitor.
The Oakland Board of Trade, Mer-
chants Exchange, Livermore League of
Progress, San Leandro Board of Trade
and Oakland Exposition are all anxious
for the exhibit, and a committee will soon
appear before the Supervisors and urge
their claims.
A few months ago the promoters of the
permanent exhibit procured from the
county permission to utilize the spare nall
in the Supervisors annex to the Hall of
Records, until such time as il should be
needed for the business of the county.
This hall, however, will not be used, a. it
is not convenient, but the Board of Trade
has not yet formally notified the Super
Yisors OF It's inability 10 accept their offer.
The exposition directors have just been
disappointed by F. NJ. Smith, the railroad
and borax man. They acquired the lease
OF the block on which the exposition
building stands several months ago. They
paid no rent until January l. after which
it was understood that it was to be merely
nominal. They have just been notified
that Mr.. Smith wants 500 month, and
they cannot therefore hod it any length
of time a. that figure, but they nave de-
cided to lease it until after next August,
in case they shall be required to hold the
next annual exposition there. This has
upset the plan of setting aside portion
of the building for a permanent county
exhibit.
Negotiations are now under way for
leasing a store on Broadway, and when it
is known what the expense will be the
Supervisors will be approached to de-

STRONG LOVE OF A GIRL
1t Led TO the Breaking Up OF
a Once Happy Little
Family.
Tria of an lima Ct a R scue
Home That II we to b.
Fought.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI


sos broadway, Jan. s.
The decree of divorce awarded to Mrs
Elliot was recorded yesterday. The
causes that led UP to this step were very
unusual and throw strong sidelight on
the difficult work being prosecuted by the
Salvation Army at it's rescue home in
Beulah.
The Elliots lived happily together until
the wife engaged the services of young
girl to assist with housework. From that
time the girls experience was sad one,
and ended by her going to the Beulah
Home.
Although not hayward girl, she was
admitted 10 Mrs. CampbelPs Eugenia
Home, at Berkeley, quite early in her
glrlhood, and it was from there that she
went to the home OF the Elliots. She was
not there many months before in her
childish way she became desperately
enamoTed of Mr.. Elliot. Although at that
time only 13 years of age, he toyed with
the girls affection and made her little
presents, which turned her head. The
story of her life from that time, as told by
herself, is one OF strange unhappiness.
Elliot encouraged the child in her in
fatuation, and 1t soon became so notice
able that there was trouble in the family
Ultimately 1t became necessary for the
girl to go to the Buelah Rescue Home,
where in few months her foolish affec-
ton for Elliot turned to one of hatred.
On one occasion she saw Elliot sitting in
the little waiting-room at Buelah, and, in
her childish fright she ran for protection
to the nome. fearing that he might carry
her off bodily. A long time elapsed be-
fore she could overcome this fear, which
was renewed when she learned that Mrs.
Elliot, who was always her truest and
trmest friend, was applying for separa-
ton from her unworthy husband.
The girl is anxious to return to Eng
land, from which place her parents came.

They Are Being Taught to Tune Pianos
by an Expert.


by an Expert.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. S.-Superintend-
ent Hays of the Blind Home has intro
duced system by which many OF the in
mates are taught other trades besides
broom making. Last year he employed an
expert piano-tuner to teach the business
to class of six blind men. Mr.. Hays
has become satisfied that the blind can
make a success of plano-tuning. and The
first class having attained considerable
proficiency a second one has just been
started.
TIE trouble with the broom aking
trade for blind men, said Mr.. Hays, is
that after the men are proficien. they can
not get employment because broom
making is conduct in shops, and the
trade union and other influence prevents
blind men from getting situations. But if
blind man becomes an expert piano
tuner he can start business on his own &C
count without any trouble. Contrary to
what is generally supposed, man does
not have to be u good musician to be a
piano-tuner.
Will Now Practice Law.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 8.-Ex-Judge A.
L. Frick has formed a law partnership
with ex-Judge Henry Goodcell, formerly
of the bench of San Bernardino County.
The firm has opened offices in the Blake
& Moffitt building. Both are we'll known
and enjoy able regulations as legal prac-
titioners.

NO NEWS FROM CLARESY.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. S.-Manuel
Claresy of Adeline street, South Berkeley,
is still among the missing. Since his dis
appearance from his home on December
IA not a word as to his whereabouts has
been received.
Claresy's family is griet-stricken over
his loss. His employers state that his
books balance, and they, too, are at loss
to know why he has remained away so
long. Some have advanced the theory of
foul play, while others assert that Claresy.
in fit of mental alteration, went to sea.
rumor was started to-day that he
had been seen IN Berkeley within the last
week, accompanied by a strange woman.
This statement could not be confirmed,
however. When the body of the unknown
man was found off the Lom bard-street
wharf yesterday it was at first supposed
to be that of Claresy, but investigation
proved to the contrary. Mrs Claresy has
visited the MOrgue In San Francisco on
several occasions and made every other
effort to determine her husbands fate.

When 1t Goes to Him.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 8.-There will
soon be a serious complication over the
ordinance calling the next city election.
The ordinance is being prepared in accord
ance with the resolution OF the Council
ordering the city attorneys to incorporate
Sunday closing paragraph. This ordi-
nance, after being printed ten days, will
then be finally passed and go to the
Mayor. 1t is known that his Honor will
not countenance any such proposition
and will veto the measure. 1t is claimed
by its opponents in the Council that the
necessary eight votes to pass it over the
Mayors veto cannot be obtained, and that
the ordinance will have 10 be passed by
the Council without the Sunday closing
clause. If this be not done, the result
cannot be fore.old, as the ordinance, I'M
like the tax levy. cannot be tossed back
and forth for six months.
