verified by II Methodist circuit rider.
Seeres was under indictment in the Federal
Court here for the fourth timo. having served
several terms in prison for moonshining: in fact
Seeres has been ono of the most troublesome
outlaws of the East Tennessee mountains for

every Illicit distillery in that region. The officers.
OF whom there were six, had no difficulty in
finding and destroying several thousand gallons
of beer and "Singlings."

THE SERVICE STRIPE.
Growth or q Custom which Has Everything Z.
Commend IL.

Tho growth of an interesting custom is to
be noted in a recent Post ONCE order. to the
effect that letter carriers should wear service
stripes on their uniforms. The Seventh Regi-
ment- adopted the service stripe In 1885, and the
State militia had it under tho Military Code
and Regulations of 1883, and perhaps before.
The Boston police adopted the stripe in the early
eighties, and the New York police followed
and then the messenger companies. Within a
few weeks the Metropolitan Traction Company
decided to have its employees wear service
has fallen into line. The custom is good, for 1t
increases the m~uclNneeded esprit de corps,
without which the best regulations for govern
ing a body of men are liable to be enforced
with friction.

OAKLAND, CAL, May l2-There was
some checker board policy at the meeting
OF the Board Of Works this morning, at
which somebody was checkmated, but it
is not quite clear who would have won in
case a victory had been scored.
For several weeks plan has been on
foot to change the heads of the Street and
Fire departments. 1t has been customary
for successive Boards of Works to make
these changes. But, although in Office a
month and a half. nothing has yet been
disturbed except the Health Department;
consequently it is generally understood
that the ak is in the air and may descend
at any moment.
This morning City Engineer Clement
introduced a resolution declaring vacant
the Office of Chief of the Fire Department
Mayor Thomas declined to vote, City At
torney Dow voted no and the motion was
lost
Clement then presented another resolu-
tlon, declaring vacant the position of as
sistant chief. Thomas and Dow voted no
and this was also lost.
AT another meeting later on Mr.. Glenn
ent voted 10 declare vacant the Street Su-
perintendents position and his deputy.
Mayor Thomas was not ready to vote, and
Clement and Dow voted one each way so
the attempt was futile. Mr. Clement is
the only Democrat on the board, and is
anxious to reward his friends, but as a Il

Honors in Veterinary
Surgery.
Largest Number of Degrees Awarded
Since the Foundation of the
University.

BERKELEY, CAL, May 12-At the
commencement exercises of the State
University this afternoon degrees were
issued to 2o6 students. They ran from the
highest graduate degree, that of Doctor OF
Philosophy, down through three of the
affiliated professional colleges 20 the low
est academic degree granted by the insti-
tuition. From the undergraduate depart
ment at Berkeley alone Isl diplomas were
granted, which were twenty more than
have been extended on any other gradua-
tion day in the history of the institution.
The remaining number of degrees fell
under the head of graduate and of profes-
sional. From the law college thirty-six
were given out, from the medical seven
andffrom the college of veterinary surgery
three. To-day was the first time in the
history of the University of California
that degrees from the medical and vet
erinary colleges have been conferred at
B 'rkeley.
Charles A. Elston. son of Rev A. NJ.
EIston of Woodland, was awarded the
regents gold medal for the highest rank
ing in scholarship. gold medal was al SC
granted TO Charles F. Keane by the faculty
of the college of veterinary surgery for
distinguished work.
Elston's achievement in carrying off the
golden reward of labor from class of Isl
is looked upon as a remarka BILE one in
view OF the amount of work he has done
outside the classroom during his college
career.
The exercises, which began at 2:30, were
long and tedious, and the immense, poorly
managed crowd was restless and noisy
