A SHINING MARK.
The Tribute That Humbug Pays to
 Honesty and Merit.

A clever counterfeiter does not sit up nights to initiate the bonds of bank rupt corporation. Knavery like death, loves shining mark. 1t pays to merit and prosperity the complimentof copy ing them, so far as externals are con- cerned, in the hope of deluding the public
 In the world of commerce articles of proven worth are most frequently counterfeited. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. for example, is medicinal stimulant of l-ieh reputation. Phy- sicians commend it, and the prudent housewife keeps it in her chest of fam fly remedies. Mere advertising could never have raised this whiskey to the place it occupies. Its own qualities put it there.
 That it should be initiated is no more than one would expect. Readers of this newspaper are strenuously urged, for their own sake, to make sure that they get the genuine article, made by the Duffy Malt Whiskey Co.,, of Rochester, N. Y, and by nobody else. All sorts of lying representations are devised to induce people to buy substitutes. You may be told of some dreadful concoction, made of heaven only knows what, that 1t Is in every way as good as Duffy's Pure Malt. The tradesman who says such thing does not deserve your patronage. Re- fuse all substitutes for Duffy's.

DR. DlLLE COMES
 IN FOR WRATH
Ladies Are Indignant at His Structures Upon FabiOla
 Day.
Many PrOrrain ent w Wor1aen Hold That His Position Is the Reverse of
 Unassa liable.

OAKLAND, May 9.-The condemnation by Dr. Dille on the Fabiola day at the racetrack has been widely discussed in Oakland to-day. While some parts of the doctors address are acknowledged to be incapable of denial, there are one or two paragraphs that have aroused great indignation. One of these is the follow ing:
 I have no doubt any saloon or gambling hell in Oakland would give the ladies nights re- mix drinks, or preside at the gaming table; and l should like to be informed In what re- spect this Derby day is morally on higher plane.
 Another paragraph to which the ladies take objection Is that in which pr. Dille says: If MT. Williams wishes to make a donation to the Fabiola why does he not not do so outright? Why does he require the managers to so advertise and approve his gambling scheme that they become parti- ceps crirninis in every crime it produces, and so that, if their sons are ruined by 1t, they are -estopped from any protest?"
 Mrs. Iule, president or faplofa, says she does not understand wherein is any difference between obtaining donation from the racetrack by means of Fabiola day and the following of Dr. Dflle's sug- gestion and accepting a donation outright from MT. Williams.
 Tn any event." says Mrs. Yule, eff Fa- biola. is to be benefited by days receipts at the racetrack, think it is actually more straightforward to have an open day known as Fabiola day and to adver- tise and work for it as such than to take a check for an equal amount from Mir. Williams quietly and say nothing about it. The money in either case would come from the same source, and I cannot see wherein lies the justification for Dr.. Dille's criticism. Regarding some parts of his address do not care to speak"
 Mrs. William Let's Oliver said to-day:
 Its a case of sour grapes. The ladies only share the gate money. They have nothing to do with bookmaking. I see nothing to warrant pr. Dille's criticism. I think Dr. Dille may some day ask the favor of the same people that he is now abusing"

OAKLAND, May 9.-Mrs. A. w. Bun nell, president of the Ebell Society, has resigned, and her resignation is now in the hands of the board of directors. Mrs. H. B. Pinney, another of the most active of the board, has also rendered her resig- nation Both actions were taken at the meeting of the directors last Friday, but the board declined to pass upon either of them, and every effort is being made to induce their withdrawal, but so far with out success.
 For eight years Mrs. Bunnell has been president of the Ebell, and each succeed Ing election has shown that she was the favorite of a large majority of the four hundred members. Naturally every one is curious to know the reasons that have led up to her taking the present decisive stand. Opinion is about evenly. divided to the cause. Some declare that 1t Is the result of the strictures passed on the club by Mrs John F. Swift two weeks ago, when she was the guest of the Ebell others declare that the resignatfons have been caused by tho election of Mrs. Gran Tllle Abbott to the presidency of the Red Cross League
 As Mrs. Bunnell declines to discuss the matter the exact reasons for her resigna- ton may never be known.
 The regular fortnightly luncheon of the EpeH cup takes place tomorrow after noon, and the matter of the presidents and Mrs. Plnney's resignation will no doubt be thoroughly dlssected
