NOVEL FEATURES FOR
 THE IRISH FAIR
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR H.
 LUSTRATED CONCERTS.
Board of Trade Exhibit Will Be Kept in the Pavilion Until the Fair
 Is Over.

Acting on the suggestion of Secretary Filcher the State Board of Trade has de- cided to keep it's exposition in Mechanics Pavilion, where it is now temporarily located, until after the close of the Irish fair. It Is believed that this will be the means of drawing it more completely to the attention of the public before it's re- moval to the new ferry depot than any thing else
 Bennett's band will be engaged for the fair and will give six illustrated concerts each week. They will include songs of Ireland, Spirit of '9S,' Dewey and the Battle at Manila Cuba and Cuban War" "The Battle of Gettysburg" and grand opera illustrated. This will be done by means of views thrown upon large screen at the west end of the hall from the band stand, with the hall dark ened, and by means of moving pictures military effects, harps and choruses.
 A report was read from the chairmen of the various booth committees last night Mrs Frank B. Lorigan announces that her committee has been arranged as fol- lows: For the lemonade booth-Mrs. Frank B. Lorigan, S43 Castro street chairman; Miss Louise Sjoyal, S41 Castro Buchanan street, treasurer; Miss NJ Bradley, Mrs. Thomas Burns, Miss Eliza Casey, Miss Alice c. Dunn, Mrs Charles B. Fem, the Misses Anna and Minnie Leary Miss Nellie McMahon. the Misses Annie and Mollie OShaughnessy, the Misses Alice and Martha Smith. the Misses May and Fannie Springer and Miss Florence Mcguire. She has selected for her booth a reproduction of the famed Cong Abbey of Ireland.
 It has been decided to have on the opening night two little girls, about 10 years of age-one dressed as Erin and the other as America and to have beauti- ful harp, which will be struck with a golden hammer by the little girls when the message comes over the wires from President Mckinley and from Ireland from the national federation leaders, for mally opening the exposition. A big bas- ket will be arranged at the top of the ceiling which will be opened by electric ity and shower the public with roses and confetti.

WHITE LABOR A SUCCESS
SAN LEANDRO IS ANXIOUS TO
 BUILD AT ONCE.
Owing to the Partial Failure of the Fruit Crop the Bonus Cannot Be Put to Any Use Till
 Next Year.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, July
 The cherry season has closed, and de- spite all early representations of poor crops the output has been very satisfac- tory and the amount handled by the can neres larger than any previous year.
 The Haywards cannery, which has just closed it's season of cherry packing, has handled 90,000 cases this year, which Is 50 per cent more than last year and more than twice as much as the year before The value of cannery in stimulating local trade is we'll shown by the new in- dustry located at Haywards two years ago. There are at present 300 people em- ployed, and in a month, when apricots and peaches are being picked, this number of this fruit comes from the Sacramento and Feather rivers, and it's shipments have done much to advertise HayWardS abroad.
 This cannery was the first to adopt the plan of employing none but white labor, and it has been free from the riots which have been common at Milpitas owing to the employment of Chinese help. This the accommodation of employees alone. and during the busy season $10000 a month is paid for assistance.
 Realizing the great benefit of a local cannery, San Leandro has during the past year made great efforts to induce some one to locate at that town They have subscribed a cash bonus of S5000, and were promised early in the year that a cannery small crop of many fruits delayed this project and San Leandro will have to wait till next year before it reaps the benefits of a large cannery.
 Several lots of apricots have been sold during the past week at prices averaging $40 ton Returns from Eastern markets for cherries sold in carload lots in New York show that very good prices have

 Thus, In trifle over hundred days, Miss Jessie Henderson became Mrs Jessie Delaney and legally returned to Miss Jessie Henderson.
 Judge Ellsworth to-day granted a decree of divorce to Jessie Henderson, wife of John Delaney. The young couple eloped to San Jose last St. Patrick S day and on their return DeLancy's father refused to receive him unless he sent his wife back to her mother. Mrs. Henderson was more thoughtful. She took them both in, and they resided without any open fighting for ten days; after which the mother-in-law a son-in-law to her liking, and he was politely told to go.
 Young Mrs. Delaney and her mother assert that during the brief ten days in which the young people lived together Delaney beat his wife and showed such evidence of cruel nature that she de- cided to get rid of him. Delaney was only too willing, and did not take the trouble to answer her suit for divorce
 Delaney was prevented by his young wife from carrying an idea of his own to have the marriage annulled on the ground of duresS, fraud and similar things. He declares that he was inVeigled into the home of the Hendersons and detained that the price of his liberty was his mar riage to pretty Jessie. This action of his, however, will now be unnecessary. The testimony in the case was only taken yes terday, and only referred to the Court Commissioner the day before, and the o'clock this morning. She was IS years of age two weeks after her marriage.
