A COLLEGE "FUNCTI0N"
 AT THE MACD0d0UGH
J. c. STUDENTS APPEAR IN
 AMATEUR DRAMA.
The Junior Class of the University of California Holds Its "Junior
 Day. Exercises.

BERKELEY, Dec. 3.-The members of the junior class of the University of Cali fornia held their junior day exercises in Oakland this afternoon and evening. The afternoon was devoted to dramatic en- tertainment at the Macdonough Theater; the evening to the junior promenade at Reed Hall.
 Over 1700 invitations broug-t an im- mense audience to the thcater early in the afternoon, so that the building was filled to it's utmost capacity long before the curtain rose. 1t was largely col lege audience, consisting of the friends of the junior class from San Francisco, Oak land and Berkeley.
 The programme contained two numbers "a curtain raiser entitled "Fraternal Love" and a farce. in three acts, His Wife's Will" They were written by uni- yersity students of the class of 1900, the former by Miss Minnie Rae Wilson, the latter by Miss Alice Duffy. Both were very well constructed and, considering amateur talent, were cleverly presented.
 aFraternal Love" presents the scene of a college fraternity initiation in gar- den where college student has arranged to meet a coed. By ingenius complica- tions the coed is mistaken for the initiate and is received into the fraternity's mem- bership. while the real initiate, with his white gown, is mistaken for the coed. with whom the student vainly endeavors to make love In His Wife's WilP' Judge Tilden, an old college graouate, is in love with Stanford coed, but owing to the terms of his wifes will win lose. his es.. tate if he marries against the wishes of his two daughters. They in turn are forced i, to elope, in which proceeding one of the Berkeley professors fieuress in & decidedly ludicrous way, Reconciliation follows after some very Imaginable ~'tua- lions have been successfully disentangled, and the estate Is divided between father
 The production under the direction of George M Hermance showed careful preparation and excellent training. In many places 1t was quite above the. ordi- nary amateur standard, and reflected very creditably upon the actors and their di- rectors In the curtain raiser Carl Parker showed to good advantage in the role of initiate. Paul selby as Judge Tilden. and Miss Flora Wilson and Miss Matilda Richards as the two daughters sustained thefr parts with ease and skill.
 The cast of both pieces was as follows:
 For the curtain raiser: Harry Dayton Ca prominent member of the ''Pi Phi" fra ternity), Mark H. White; Amy Dayton (his sister,, Miss Gertrude M Jewett; Ed gar Falklander (Amy's lover), John D. Hoffman: William Auderbrey Courtlander

 90S Broadway Dec. g.
 The tempers and moods of William A. Brandes, charged with the murder of h.s daughter Lillian, are changeable. As he listened to the testimony at his prelimi- nary hearing yesterday he seemed to have regained his composure and despondency seemed to have fled; but to-day, when the weird story of murder to slow music was graphically related by Mrs. Nina Richard son, whose home adjoins that wherein Lillian Brandes breathed her last, the &C., cused father tried in vain to suppress his sobs. He sat with head lowered ana his face covered with his big hands to conceal every expression that might bespeak his feelings as the crowd of spectators turned their eyes upon him.
 Mrs. Richardson testified as to the noises she heard in her neighbours home on the night of November E. She said she was sitting on the front steps of her residence, in company with James Mo- had joined them. They had heard what sounded as though Lillian was being ter ribly beaten. Then there was a hurrying of footsteps and somebody pumping recognized Ltllian'S voice crying, "Oh, Al, don't" followed by threats from Brandes' lips, and language such as wit before the girls death witness had seen J. s. Harvey, the mysterious boarder at Brandes' house, talking in the yard with Mrs. Brandes.
 Atttorney F. w. Sawyer, for the de- fense tried in every way to lead the wit ness off in her story on cross-examination, but without avail, for sne weighed her answers carefully and was very positive as to the facts. She will be further cross examined next Monday. on which day Harvey will also probably take the stand. Witness Harvey's testimony promises to

sos Broadway, Dec. 8.
 Less than a month has to eIapse before the new county officials take office, and there are yet some good pieces of pie not distributed, for which plates are being eagerly held out
 One of the best pieces of patronage not yet determined upon is the location of the Morgues Oakland has no public morgue. and the Coroner can place it where he pIeases. Coroner Baldwin has had all the morgue business done at Albert Brown $ undertaking parlors, and the following '~ figures for the past year show that the ;: privilege is worth fighting for;
 Inquests 723 oa Removal of bodies ....................... 5S7 50 Recovery of dead ...............-......... 1S5 od Directing funerals ............. ....... S42 % 1Xpert testimony ........:.-.............. -95 co inspecting bodies --................-.... 1S0 % Reporting and transcribug. g.-............. 2.004 70
 Dr. Mehrmann, the Coroner-eleet, is not yet certain where he will place his morgue. There Is a keen struggle going on between the undertakers, and it is gen. erally understood that it will either re- main where 1t is or be located with James Mccarthy. Mccarthy was a candidate four years ago for the Democratic nomi- nation of Coroner, but when he was beaten by Geary of Haywards 1t is under stood that he did some good Republican campaigning. The matter will probably be decided next week.
 Another office not yet filled is that of County License Collector. This office is now held by Frank Barnett, county com mitteeman from the Sixth Ward, but he has earned a higher position on account of his active party work during the cam paign, and will go into one of the depart ments of State next year. The county License Collector is paid by commission. and before the recent annexation the office paid S250 month. Now it is worth much less, but is still good place.
 James M. Oliver of Berkeley, who took the stump during the campaign in the northern counties, is anxious to be clerk of the Senate. He claims to have enough backing to make it very interesting for his opponents.
