EATING SHRIMP SALAD

ALAMEDA. July Mrs. J. n. Beck
mann. of Pacific avenue and Chestnut

day night from ptomaine poisoning re-
sulting from eating shrimps. Soon after
partaking of shrimp salad she was taken
violently ILL., She had the presence Of
mind to take an emetic, and to that fact
she probably owes her life.
Mrs. Beckmann purchased some
shrimps at an Oakland market and pre-
pared some salad with them for her even
ing meal She alone ate heartily OF the
dish and shortly afterward was at
tackled with violent cramps. She grew
rapidly worse and took enough oil to act
as an emetc. 1t afforded her some re-
lief. and a physician was not summoned
that night The next morning Mrs. Beck
mann's condition was serious, and DR.. +;
NJ KEYS was sent for. He pronounced
her aiiment ptomaine poisoning.
The doctor states that the shrimp had
probably laid in the market until decay
had produced the poison in them, and
that had Mrs Beckmann not taken

URGED TO SELECT
CALIFORNIA STONE
MANUFACTURERS PULL STRONG
FOR HOME INDUSTRY.
F. A. Vanderlip Promises to Care
fully Investigate the Material
for the New Postoffice.

The executive officers of the Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association have
been hard at work for months past to
have the new Federal structure known
as the new postoffice building. constructed
of material quarried in this State. For
time it appeared that their efforts would
fail and that the granite of distant Maine
would be used in the San Francisco
building.
That all kinds of pulls" are being ex-
erted at Washington and that if the, big
contract goes East sorhe one Will be
greatly benefited in a pecuniary way is
generally conceded.
associations members are striving. so
hard. The latest move made to this end
was a communication sent by Manager
Goodwin, by direction of the directors, to
Hon. F. A Nauderlip. Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury. now at the Palace
Hotel, calling to his attention the impor-
tance of this subject to the people of the
State. He says it is not the purpose of
the association to espouse the cause of
any particular bidder. but to urge upon
broad grounds that the producing inter
ests of this State should be recognized
in cases like this, where the Federal Gov
ernment is about to make am expenditure
of public money for the purpose of pro
viding a public utility for the people of
this city and State. Continuing he says:
We believe that a fair and impartial
investigation of the resources of Cali
sure from our knowledge of your
career and reputation as public Off
ciaI will be made will convince you
that the building material for the San
Francisco PostOffiCe can and should be
ouarried in this State. and likewise that
the policy heretofore followed by the
Government in pursuance of the
wishes of the people as expressed in
Congress by which the manufacturing
and producing interests of the coast
have been favored in competition with
the East in tenders for the construc-
tiOn of war vessels by u dffferential of
4 per cent in price is one to which no
fair-minded citizen of the country may
take exception and is a concession to
which this coast is justly entitled.
You are about to investigate a mat
large sum of money, contributed by
the people of the country at large for
a public building. and We believe that
YOU should be in receipt of information
as to the feelings of the mercantile
community in this city who are deeply
interested in this building and who
have no particular interests in the in
diVidual bidders.
Mr. Vanderlip's reply, as here given.
was very satisfactory to the association:
Dear Sir: l have the honor to ,ac-
knowledge your letter of June q re-
garding the selection of granite for the

the Croker Compan

The II. S. Crocker Company will enjoin
the Board of Education from signing
contract with CHM & Co. to furnish copy
hooks for the next two years. The board
recently rescinded its contract with the
Crocker Company, which had two years
to run. The board justified its action
upon the ground that the California

faulty and out of date The board also
dqc1ared that the contract with the
Crocker Company had not been drawn up
in accordance with law.

he had advised her to go home.

The board of directors Of the State
Home for Adult Blind passed a resolution
at a special meeting that implied a mis-
use of certain funds that had been left
in the treasury four years ago when
Colonel Jack Hays assumed the superin-
tendency. The resolution was rs follows:
Whereas. During the years prior to
November 20. 1895. there had aCCumu-
lated in the hands of the superintend-
ent of this home. Mr.. Joseph Sanders,
a fund received as follows: Many in
mates whose lives ended in the inSti-
tuition left to him small sums of cash,
having no heirs TO claim the same, he
was treated as eX-offciO trustee of
such sums and deposited them in the
bank, where they were held tnNolate.
it being the intention of the board to
permit the accretton of such tuna
until ii might be used in some SIgnlfl-
cant way for the benefit of the blind:
and whereas, when Mr.. Joseph Sand
ers was succeeded by Mr.. HAYS he
checked the said fund over to Mr..
Hays as ex-officio trustee; and where
as, when Mr.. Sanders succeeded Mr..
Hays, on June /, 1899. and subsequent
ly thereto he requested that said fund
be checked back to him. Such request
has not been complied with, and, upon
inquiry at the bank, it is found that
Mr., Hays checked the said fund out
in the spring of 1896; therefore be It

board be and. he is hereby ordered to
