Governor Stephens has been a clear
d 'sappointment to the republicans and
I oltocrats. He is doing just what the
republicans did not want him to do,
making a most excellent governor.

The fourth month of Pres. McKin-
ley's administration is rapidly passing
and it is hard to find anything that has
been accomplished. The tariff-makers
are still employed in %dissecting the
Dingley bill, and their task appears to
be an endless one. The Cuban ques-
ton is in the same condition AS left by
Cleveland and we see no evidence of a
change in the near future. The finan-
cial depression is as great as it was
before the election in spite of the many
promises by the republicans that times
would ease up.

Kansas City Journals: Re-appointed
Postmaster Franz Atkinson, of st. Joe,
whose first term reached from Harrison
to Mckinley, was so popular a citizen of
Lexington, where he resided a number of
years, that even the INTELLIGENCER,
which has already actively begun the
campaign for the election of Bryan in
1900, expresses delight at his success.

We notice q tendency On the part OF
some of the papers of the state to
crIticise Governor Stephens on account
of some of his actions since he became
chief executive OF this state. The cause
of free silver is one that dates back for
too long a space of years to be injured
by any complaints against n Of the
officials elected on q free silver issue
and their chief motive in finding fault
with him is an attempt to weaken the
party in the state. We have seen but
very few complaints against him and
those were made by papers whose 10y
atty to the democratic party might well
be questioned. While true that Gov
ernor Stephens has, as viewed by a
great many, made some few mistakes,
he has ever been ready to state his
reasons for SO doing and he has shown
his position to be what he judged to be
right. He has been governor for about
six months and during that time he has
been forced to disappoint perhaps
twenty-five applicants for offices, given
by appointment, to where he has been
able to appoint one man. And yet we
do not hear of any complaint coming
from these people. They realize that
there were not enough Offices to pro-
vide a berth for each M of the appli-
cants and accept that view of the mat
ter. Some Of the papers that are
eriticlsing him are moved, not by
ubisctIons to any acts of his admins
tFhtIonb but by their treaehery TO the
democratic party. Others, who are
perhaps honest In their motives, are
m~is-informed as TO his reasons for GER
tain actions and attach an undue
amount of Importance to the few mis-
takes he may have made.

Deputy Constable Cronin is so near the
end OF his life that the physicians to-day
pronounced that he could not live more
than twenty-four hours. When this de-
cision was arrived at, Deputy District At
torney Church and his stenographer WIS.,
tied the dying man to take his ante
mortem statement.
Early this morning Cronin suddenly be-
came much worse. II was believed he was
dying and his relatives were summoned.
Cronin himself expressed the belief that
he cannot possibly recover and then
slowly told the circumstances surround
ing the shooting.
His story is Just the same as that al
ready printed, and the District Attorney
declined 20 give ii out for publication un-
less Cronin dies. HIS wife and sister-in-
law are mis- constant attendants, but they
are with the physician unable to relieve
the great pain in the region of the wound.
His spinal cord is so badly injured that
he has absolutely no control of his body.
During to-day he has remainedin semi
conscious state only capable of conversin g
at intervals.
James Bryan, the boy who did the
shooting, now ealizes the seriousness of
his crime. He has had time to become
thoroughly sober and he suileniy refuses
to see any one or say word about the
affair. His companion, McGinnis. who, it
is alleged, is partially responsible for en-
couraging him 10 shoot, also maintains
Completd silence.

GOOD CHERRY CROP.

Growers Paying More Attention to Pack
ing and Getting Good Prices.
OAKLAND. CAL. May 29.-The cherry
picking is now in full blast. and the
growers are reporting fine crop all
around. Prices are frm-from cents to

and have reported that the Alameda cher
ries are better this year than those of
Santa Clara.
An expert in packing cherries has been
in the county this week instructing ship
pers as to the manner in which to pack so
as to create the best impression and insure
the best priccs in the East.
There is considerable rivalry among the
orchardists as to which is putting up the
finest pack. Great progress has been
made during the week, and com m encing
Monday Eastern shipments will begin in
earnest.

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 29.-There was
a good attendance at the new circular
speed rack OF the Alameda Driving Asso-
citation this afternoon for the fret meet
this season. There was a stiff breeze
blowing, which was something of draw
back for fast time as well as for the spec
tators. There were three events on the
programme, one of which, however, was
called off. The first race was trotting,
2:30 class in which the entries were: G.

Tunnel Proposition Aband doned.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May 29.-Much re-
gret is felt by the people of Alameda over
the final outcome of the proposition to
construct tunnel under the estuary.
They had hoped that some way might be
found by which i: would be possible to
have such great improvement over the
present method of crossing the stream,
but it seems that there is no way out of it
unless the cities of Alameda and Oakland
shall join in snch work. Many are in
favor OF doing this, and others desire to
walt until the next session of the Legisla-
ture, wnen they propose to endeavor 10
have special act passed empowering
counties 10 construct tunnels, as well as
bridges, W herever needed.

Rev. Glen McWilliams has accepted the
call to the FIRST Christian Church. This
action finally oisposes OF ali efforts that
have been made toward bringing about a
union of the two Christian churches in
this city.
The First Church is now without a
building of its own, but the fund realized
from the sale OF its property will enable
both congregations to erect a frst-class
modern church iu a more convenient por-
ton of town than the old building. They
are at present worshiping in the Y. NJ.
G. A auditorium and have been without
a regular pastor for couple of months.
Rev. Glen McWlliams was called few
weeks ago to preach on appreciation aad
has given such general satisfaction that
he has been offered and has accepted a
permanent call.
After vacating their old building the at
tempt was made to unite the Central and
First Christian churches. The Central
Church has for its pastor Rev. Edwards
Davis, and it was from that church that
the overtures toward consolidation came.
1t was first proposed before Rev. James
Small resigned from the First Church.
uo pIdll tHeu WAS tudt UOtu pastors
should resign, and joint meeting of the
two congregations should elect anothe er
pastor 10 preside over the united body.
This was not favorable to Mr.. Davis, who
d ID not consider it advisable to resign,
and Rev. James Small left the pastoral
field to take up evangelical work.
Invitations have been issued by the Off
cial board of st. Johns Epi> copal Church
for the laying of the cornerstone of the
new building at Eighth and Grove streets
next Wednesday afternoon. Walter
Matthews has been appointed to take
cnarge of the work and he has prepared

OAKLAND, CAL, May 29-Joan Frank

Clerk this morning for a marriage license,
but did not receive it. While the deputy
was filling out the blank the woman con-
fidentiaIly told him that she has a hus-
band from whom she has never been
divorced.
A little inquiry revealed the fact that
she was married in 1892 and about year
later her husband deserted her, going to
sea. The Clerk refused the license, which
made the groom very angry. He declared
that he would fix the divorce business in
that he should not be permitted to marry

andre Gas Works.
According to the complaint w. J.
Landers was sole owner of the gas works
prior to August of last year. At that time
en- agreement was made between the
plaintiff and defendant to dispose of the
stock to the defendant for $1,000, to be
paid within four years. The new owners
were to put In a new system for distribut-
ing the gas within ninety days. and while
the purchase price was being paid interest
on the whole amount was 10 be collected
monthly.
Three weeks ago the new owners could
not pay their bills, md the place was put
in charge of constable, aud the monthly
interest was not forthcoming. The origi-
nal owner now declares that the new firm
is insolv-nt and the contract is broken,
ana fearing damage suits. he has operated
the plant himself for some time.
The secret of this trouble is the failure

Some months ago an Oakland brass
worker invented a gas meter which would
emit quantity OF gas equal in value to
a coin placed in the slot. A number oi
these machines were made, and the San
Leandro gas plant was the first and only
one TO give them a practical test. While
the invention was very clever as it ap-
peared on paper, it soon began 10 prove a
failure when put into practice. The ma
chimes could be tampered with, and there
were complaints that th Y did not pro-
duce as much Illuminating medium as
was paid for, and, OF course, after the gas
was burned it was impossible to settle
such disputes, and the gas company grad
ually lost its patronage.
To make matters more insecure the
town also voted to establish a municipal
electric-light plant. Owing to a techni.
cality in the proceedings, the election call

legal and the matter was dropped temper.
arlly. 1t is possible, however, that an at
