[cOpyight. rsqs. BY Robert Bar.l


IL was somewhat late In the after
noon when he reached the city Of Otta-
wa. Going toward his hotel he was as
tonished TO hear his name shouted after
him. Turning round, he saw n man
rushing toward him whom he did not
recognize.
"Your name In Kenyon, isn't it?"
asked the man, somewhat out of breath.
"Yes, that is my name"

had dispatch waiting for you for some
time, a cablegram from London. We
have searched all over the town for you,
but couldn't find you"
"Ah," said Kenyon, "is II important p

better come with me TO the Office and
get il. OF course, they don't general

Der it said something about you keep

thing"
They walked together to the tele-
graph office. The boy was still search
ing for Kenyon with the original dis
patch, but the operator turned up the
file and read IL TO him.
"You see II wants an answer" he
said; that's why thought it was im-
portant to get you. You will have
plenty Of time for an answer tonight"
John took lead pencil and wrote
the cable dispatch which Wentworth
received. He paid his money and said:

house. i will wait there. and IL any.
thing comes for me send il over as
soon as possible"
"All right" said the operator; "that
is the best plan; then we will know ex

because we can get you in five minutes.
: Perhaps ] had better telephone TO the
hotel for you IL anything comes"
"very we'll" said Kenyon. II will
leave IL all in your hands"
Whether IL was the effect OF having
been in the country or not, John felt
that, somehow. the cablegram he had
received was n good omen. He medi-
tated over the i'll luck he had suffered in
the whole business from beginning to
end, and thought OF old Mr.. Long

The National Club Will Hold Its Next
Show at the Peop.e's
Palace.

The National Club will give boxing
entertainment on Friday evening in the
Peoples Palace, corner of Mason and
Eddy streets.
The feature OF the show will be a fifteen
round boxing contest between Jim JEFF
fries, the cham pion heavy-weisht pugilist
of Los Angeles, who put in two weeks in
the Corbett camp at Carson boxing with
kirk of the Olympic Club, who was one of
Professor Walter Watson's pupils.
Jeffries will have considerable advan-
tage in weight, but otherwise the men are
said to be evenly matched. Van Buskirk
has improved considerably in boxing in
the past year, and his friends are of the
opinion that he will whip the Los Angeles
man handily, as Jeffries leaves his face
open to attack. But there are many
sports who can see only one mau in the
contest, and he represents the City of
Angels.
The sports contend that the experience
Jeffrles had while boxing with Corbett is
better than two years tuition under some
slow teacher, consequently they will play
him to win. 1t is doubtful if the bout
will last more than four rounds. The
other attractions are Henry Slater and
Homer Mccoy, ten rounds: Ed Morrisey
and Sam Maxwell, ten rounds. The
prices of admission are reasona able, and
as consequence the managers OF the
show expect to see q good crowd present.
George Green is rusticating at Glen

and when hungry after ten or twenty
miles jog through the country he thinks
nothing of gourmandizing 100 six-inch
trout at a sitting. II is no wonder, then,
that George is brainy fellow, who wins
battles by display OF good judgment.
Nothing has been heard from Tommy
Ryan of late and the secretary of the
Olympic Club has come to the conclusion
that the Eastern welter-weight has no
use for Green since George whipped

908 Broadway, April 5. (
Val Cater. an employe at the Pinole
Powder Works. is the most surprised man
probably in the world to-day. Owing to q
mistake. which, under ordinary circun.
stances, would have blown himself, COM
panions and the works to atoms, he de-
clares he has made q remarkable discovery.
Recently, while employed as a washer, he
made mistake and an explosion was inn
minent. In his excitement he threw into
the charge on which he was working q
substance that was at hand. To his great
surprise instead of the expected crash
everything quieted down.
The next day he made an experiment
on the same line and satisfied himself that
his experience, though accidental, was of
great value. After several experiments
he told the superintendent of the matter
and was laughed at. Cater was in
earnest, and was given a complete charge
upon which to use his discovery. The re-
suit was all that be could hope for, and ii
stool thirty fve- minute test.
Overtures were at once made to pur-
chase his secret, but Cater refused to en-
tighten anybody regarding his discovery.
one night he returned home and found
tnat his quarters had been ransacked
throughout, the visitors evidently hoping
that they might find something that
would afford a clew.
In their efforts to make the same dis
covery, the people at Pinole have had
their chemist at work experimenting for
several days and last week he nearly blew
his hands off while seeking to solve the
problem.
This discovery will allow nitro -glycerine
to stand heat test of 100 degrees for
from fifteen 10 thirty-five minutes. AT
present it will only stand test of from
iour to ten mini ute.

906 Broadway, April 5.
Many ladies of this city were surprised
last evening AT the information conveyed
by Mrs. Anna May Keiser, who is known
all over the Northwest as the woman mine
owner.
Mrs. Keiser took upon herself some time
ago to organize an immense mining COM
pany, consisting Of 2,000,000 shares, and
she declares that success is in sight, and
that it differs from all mems associations
because none Of the officers are receiving a
cent OF salary. nor will they do 30 until
dividends are declared.
Mrs. Keiser Congratulated the many
ladies present at Shasta Hall upon the ad.
vancement made by their sex in the field
of mining. She described the work being
accom- pllshed by the Woman's Mining
Bureau of Washington and said it was
their intention to extend the work into
California.
"Our venture is owned and controlled by
women,' she said, 'sand is wholly q
woman's enterprise. At the present time
We control and own five immense proper
ties in the conduct of which we seek no
advice from men. These mines are moi

officers and those of US, all women, who
are devoting our time and energy 10 the
interets OF the enterprise feel that the
increase in the value of our stock and the
certainty of forthcoming dividends will
be ample remuneration for our time and

There will also be q com pensation
which cannot be measured by material
considerations. II is the supreme sa is

BRISK CAMP PAIGD
IN BERKELEY
First Effort to Organize
the Republican
Party.
Lively Contest Between the Two
Candidates for the O fee of
Town Marshal.
The Fight for Town Clerk Looked tc
for Demonstration of the Strength
of the Parties.

BERKELEY, CAL, April 5-The COM
ing week. the last before the local elec-
tion is decided, promises to be one of
lively politics. The main interest in the
fights of candidates is absorbed py the
Schmidt Lloyd race for the office of Mar
shall. which has developed into bitter
personal war in which the records OF the
two men are being discussed and attacked
with good deal of asperity by their re-
spective opposers.
Schmidt is the regular Republican NOM
inee and has the Endorsement of the Peo-

pies party, and his friends claim for him
a good majority in the whole town and q
very large margin in the West End Bets
have been offered that in the seven wards
the Republicans will have clear majority
OF 200 votes. The Republicans base their
claims on the fact that they are in an
overwhelming majority and on the per-
sonal popularity of their man.
On the other hand the Non Partisans
are making strong canvass for Richard
Lloyd, the present incum bent. Their
fight is put up on the proposition of con-
tinuing -partisanisn. in local affairs.
In that respect the present campaign is a
unique one in the history of Berkeley.
The Republican party has never been or
ganized locally before the commencement
of this campaign. Atthat time the Berke-
ley Republican Club amalgamated and
declared in favor of q party ticket. 1t was
argued that as the citizens of the town are
Republican in such proportion that Dem.
ocrats and Populists are almost without
organization, tie Repu blicans should as
sumo the responsibility of conducting
municipal ad dministrations. All the party
clubs united on the proposition ana the
present ticket is the result.
Then came the opposition. It began in
the Good Government Club, An organiza-
tion of leading citizens pledged to keep
partisansnip out OF Berkeley politics and
to watch town government. The club has
over 100 members. Through the efforts
of its leaders and the party managers
amaigamation of the forces of the two
non-partisan parties-the Non Partisans
and the Independent Taxpayers-was eff
fected.
The fight as it now stands is between
the Republican Clubs and the Good Gov
ernment Club and its non partisan fol-
lowers. The Republicans are char ed
with being naught but gang of Office
seekers by their opponents, while they
retort that the Good Government
Club is controlled by Democrats. and thus
the fight goes merrily on.
The issue OF Repu blican control or non.
partisanship in local affairs is so obscured,
however, and the two tickets are SO mixed
that in only one or two cases will there be
any real test OF the public sentiment on
the question. The Schmidt Lloyd affair
is en- old feud. Trey have encountered
each other before IN contest for Office
in Berkeley, victory perching on the ban
ner of the present Republican candidate.
For the offices of Town Trustees. School
Directors and library trustees the as
pirants named by both parties are largely
the same. In the case of the Town Clerk
the issue is clear cut as nearly as can be,
and there is much speculation as
to the outcome. NJ. L. Hanscom, the in
cumbent. is on the bipartisan ticket
opposed to ]. @. Sherratt, Republican
nominee.
Both men have many friends and both
have made a friendly, quiet contest for
the place. each being admittedly compe-
tent, so that the question for decision is
really RepubIicanism against Non-Parti-
sanship. Massrs. Hanscom and Sherratt
