DIRECTS HIS OWN FUNERAL.
L. P. Fisher Wants No Hearse, No Casket and No Mourning Worn
 by Relatives

OAKLAND, Nov. 30.-Luther P. Fisher, the advertising man, who died in this city yesterday, was eccentric, if any, thing. In a letter found with his will to- day he gives explicit directions bearing; upon his funeral and burial. The letter was found by Harry w. Knoll, MT. Fish CTS business associate, and the envelope Is labeled: No. l-To be opened imme- diately after my death' In 1t Mr. Fisher distinctly requests that no hearse be en- ployed in conveying his remains to the grave in Mountain View Cemetery. He not placed in a. metallic caSket with mountings, trimmings. lead Things and plush covering, but a rough box of the cheapest kind.'
 Another paragraph enjoins his family from making any show of mourning; no crape Is to used on the house or about the remains; nor are the children to wear black. He expected to be buried from his home, 1203 Castro street, where his and he asks that quartet sing cheerful music" The quartet must be composed of church people and Christians; and Dr. George Mooar, MT. Fishers classmate in Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. is to officiate as clergyman.
 While Mir. Fisher lived always econom- ically. all the money he ever obtained, ex- cept that required by his family, was de- voted to religious and charitable causes; and much of his kindness will never be made public.
 The funeral services will probably be held in the First Congregational Church early next week, by which time 1t Is ex- pected the daughters and son will have arrived from the East.

GOT MONEY FROM HIS GIRL. Now Mrs. Sullivan Is Suing Her
 Former Lover.

OAKLAND, Nov. BOA fig1lrative scroll of romantic history was unrolled to-day before Superior Judge Hall, fin the suit of Mrs. Kate F. Sullivan against Charles T. Slamberg Jr.. for the recovery of $120 claimed on loan. The case was appealed from Justice Woods court where defendant had won a victory Tn 1894 the still fair plaintiff was Miss Kath crime Sheehan, winsome, petite belle with whose charms the defendant be- came infatuated. In those palmy days too, MT. Slamberg was the pride of the fat purses, and the strings were not held when the question of ice cream, French suppers, buggy drives, etc. for his lady love bobbed up. However Miss Sheehan too. had money, for she had obtained a judgment against the Southern Pacific Company for a snug sum on account of injuries sustained on local train in April, 1893.
 But there came a day when MT. Slam berg found other uses for his fat purses and his earnings were directed to the family fund. This, however, did not in- terfere with long moonlight drives and other lovers amusements, for Miss Shee- Later a coolness sprang up, and then Miss Sheehan married and removed to San Francisco. Now she wants her money back.
 On the witness-stand to-day. Slamberg testified that. every cent of the money went toward the fair plaintiffs edifica- ton and he insisted that she had freely given him the sum for that purpose.
 Mrs. Sullivan. though her countenance was wreathed with smiles. apparently caused by recollectfons of days. or yore. also testified. She claimed to nave re-

ALAMEDA AT A GLANCE. Story of County Told in Prose and
 Picture.

OAKLAND, Nov. 30.-For the past ten wears Alameda County has been steadily growing in all directions. Her industrles' her manufactures, educational facilities, commerce on the estuary, splendid dock ing system and all other developments that tend to make county truly great have been steadily and solidly increasing. ID to this time, however, there has been no publication containing bright, at- tractive, reliable and complete record of the growth and life of Alameda County up to date. The Oakland Tribune has just issued an illustrated souvenir. infinitely superior to anything of the kind ever be- fore published The work commences with a brief sketch of the origin of political, civic, commercial and religious life in this county and traces the development of each up to the present hour. Nothing is lacking, and every Statement IS reliable Many of the most accurate and talented have lived here over a generation. were engaged on this souvenir. Its value to send abroad cannot be overeStimated. A glance through its pages proves conclus- fveiy that Alameda is in the front rank of the counties, not alone of California, but of the whole country.
 pronounced feature of the work is it's illustrations. In all of the 25O pages there is not one that does not contain an attrac- tive half tone picture. Many of the beau- ty spots of the county are faithfully pre- scented, and the industrial sections are brought into prominence. There are over 200 photographs of people prominent in many illustrations of other kinds The work has been many months in being compiled, but the labor has been crowned with complete success.

THEIR MARRIAGE NOT
 ACCORDING TO LAW
CHARLEY. ZANY MAY BE IN A
 PECULIAR DILEMMA.
Obtained Marriage License in Ala meda and Married in Sierra
 County.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office. San Francisco Call, 90S Broadway, Nov. 90. .
 Deputy County Clerk Ray Baker made another discovery to-day, the import of which signifies that the law which re- quires that persons taking out a marriage license must marry only in the county wherein the license Is issued has been grossly violated. The discovery developed from the following letter, quaint in spell ing and diction, received this morning:
 SIERRA CITY, 1898, Nov. l.
 To the County Clerk of Alameda County Dear sir wish you would please send me my marige sertifict my name is Charley Zaney an my wife name was Rubigio Ernados before marige i got my lisence from you last June 1 was married here in Sierra City, Sierra county.

 The license in question was issued on June g, 1898, to Charles Zany, aged 42 years, native of Italy, resident of Ala meda, and Refogia Arnadas, aged 3S years and residing in Alameda. The 1i- cense was issued by Deputy County Zany's letter was addressed to the ''Marige Lisense Inspector"
 Deputy District Attorney Lin Church, in speaking of the caase to-day, stated that the couple are not legally married. as the law provides that the marriage must take place in the county where ,he license is issued.

MERCHANT ID
 PETITION THE
 CITY COUNCIL SsV- O; Q. Opposed to the Sale of
 City Land.
soHsT IS TOO DEFINITE
HIS MATTER RIGHT BUT HIS
 MANNER DOUBTFUL.
The Sale of the Water Front Recited as an Argument Against Part ing With the City Hall
 Site.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 q0S Broadway. Nov. :U.


 The City Council is to De petitionad by the Merchants Exchange not to sell the City Hail site Director Sonst has pre- pared a petition, but 1t is considered rather too radical to present to the Coun- ci,. It is now being revised by com nlittee of the exchange, consisting of President Arper, Secretary Walker and Director Sohst.
 Mir Sohsts report is based partly on the Information published in The Call that there is no necessity to submit to the peo- ple the proposition of selling city prop erfy, but that 1t can be done by six votes in the Council and the assent of the Mayor He says:
 We look upon this measure as 8. fatal blew to Oakland. which can only be com pared with that of 1852, when the whole water front was bargained away for a school house and two small wharves. The argument then was that the city was too poor to buy a school house and wharf, and property worth millions was sacri- feed. History repeats itself. and some of your members Say we need money and all that is in sight to raise it on is the heart of Oakland. They stand ready to sell if to an English syndicate. That is no won der, because no American syndicate would take advantage of our people, when, through a loophole left in the law, six members with the Mayor. by advice of our -SllN Attorney, can sell IL Io Jonl
 Gan the members who favor the scheme give theA Apeople of Oakland a guarantee that the Engishmen will put up a siX-story building on the site as one of your members said thy would?
 Suppose we were served the same aS the people of San Francisco and small shanties were erected on the site. Would it not be lasting disgrace? San Francis co was not only disgraced by it's Super visors, but it Is a reflection on the State to have her metropolis defaced because, in the eyes of strangers, the height and beauty of The Call, Chronicle and Exam finer buildings and other public improve ments cannot cover up that eyesore.
 'All your projects which you call im- provements mean higher taxation-name- ly, building a new City Hall, free library and buying a park.
 You will not increase the revenue of the city by carrying out your intentions. The city wharf and licenses are the only revenue of the city. Therefore if you in- crease the expenses revenue must be raised by direct taxation, and instead of $l 2l on the hundred you will need $1 T. or the School, Police, Fire and Street de- partments, Free Library and free reading rooms will have to suffer.
 ''Take our advice; help consolidation: make a sacrifice by legislating yourselves out of office; work. as we do, solely for the best interest of Oakland
 Although the foregoing report will be somewhat modified in the manner of its presentation, the subject matter, 1t is un- derstood, will remain about the same, although the reference to "hypnotizing'' some of the voters in the Council may a
