DR.. GREEN PROVES TO
BE A TRUE LOVER
AFFIRMS HIS ENGAGEMENT TO
MISS ROEBKE.
Defes Parental Objections and Will
Make the Young Lady His
Bride.

ALAMEDA, March 26.-Au doubts as to
the authenticity of the engagement OF
Miss Amanda Roebke and young DR..
Jacob S. Green have been swept away.
Early last month the doctor was ap-
pointed surgeon of the steamer City of
Panama, plying along the Central Amer
lean coast The day he sailed through
the Golden Gate on his way to Acapulco
to join his ship Miss Amanda Roebke, one
of the bellies of the Encinal City, made
the announcement that she was the be-
trothed of the lucky medico.
The engagement created storm OF IN
dignation in the household of Green s
parents. Mrs. Green denied most emphat-
ically that her son was engaged and
stated he was too young to take care of a
But love only smiles at parental objec--
tons, and Miss Roebke is now prepared
to substantiate her statements that she is
engaged to DR.. Green, and ADDS turther.
that they will be married in due course OF
time despite whatever obstacles Green
parents may try to throw in Cupid
When the betrothal was denied Miss
Roebke wrote to her lover to telegraph
confirmation of her announcement 1mme-
ciately upon receipt of the epistle. The
doctor did not wire his reply, evidently
because it is a difficult matter for an ar
dent lover to express himself satisfactor-
lily to his adored one in a ten-word tel n1I
gram But he wrote letter that set all
doubts of his faithfulneSS at rest.
He readily admits that his parents. do
not love Miss Roebke with anything like
the fervOr that has taken possession OF
him Being beyond the jurisdiction OIL
the old folks" the doctor has regained
his courage and will make Miss Roebke
his bride, all the angry and ob1ecting
narents to the contrary Notwithstanding.
THE wedding will not take place in Ala
media. nor. in fact. at any. place where
MIR. and Mrs. Green Sr. might Interfere
Az soon as DR.. Green gets settled in his
new position and is prepared to provide
a home for his bride, she will join him III
Central America If, after the wedding,
the doctors parents show disposition to
extend the glad hand" and bestow the
customary blessing, the young couple
may visit Alameda.

He Expected Licking and Wanted

ALAMEDA, March 26.-Brainard c.

dale, and that. as a matter of fact, he
never had any idea of infiicting physical
punishment on the celebrated telephone
talker and fully appreciates his inability
to do so. He frankly admits that his chal-

when Tisdale did not call 1t. Mr.. Brown
is now convinced that they are both
pretty good at bluffing.
II never had the least idea of engaging
in fistic encounter with DR.. Tisdale,"

Mrs. Maud Darlington Booth spoke last
night to the largest audience ever col
lected in Calvary Church. Her subject
was my Work in the State Prisons,
and long before the hour for the services
neither a seat nor comfortable standing
could be had.
Mrs Booths address was marked by
the eloquence of sincerity and the graphic
description of her personal labors in the
prisons, her striving for the spiritual ele-
walton of the convict sufferers and her ex-
hortation for assistance from all to allie
vate their mental detection drew tears
from many in the audience.
The success of our labors speaks for
the good they have accomplished" she
said. I'VE have a membership of 1000
prisoners in our army. In nine prisons,
two of which are in this State, have we
sown the seed of God. In the Joliet Pent-
tertiary we have enrolled one-half of the
prison population. To breathe a sympa-
thy, warmth, a spiritual light into the
souls of these men is our great OBJECT. 1t
is the bringing of a blessing, soft and rich
in its effect within prison walls whose
stern front is naturally repellant.
What good we have accomplished may
be seen in the difference of behavior OF
those before and after they have joined
our cause. The intractable become man

ion when it sweeps aside those things

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.
Wants to Make Corporations Pay the
Running Expenses of the
Municipality.
Alameda Office San Francisco Call,
1923 Park Street, March &C.

1870 dIh Olittt- Mai CII ~.
Alameda has unique candidate for the
office of City Trustee in the person of
Ben j. Smith. Mr.. Smith is running as
an Independent. Besides "goinp it alone"
he has ideas that are strictly his own, and
purely original so far as Alameda politics
are concerned. He issued to-day a plat
form of his own. 1t is entitled "Smith's
Indenture," and the drift of it is that Mr..
Smith purposes to conduct the affairs of
the municipality without levyfng taxes
on the property owners. He sets forth as
facts for the consideration of the tax
payer the following guiding thoughts:
Reduce the taxes by one-half and you
double the value of realty
"a mans taxes shall always be in pro-
portion to the interest he takes in poll
MEN who look after themselves only
will eventually be left to themselves and
He asserts that the gas company makes
a net annual profit from Alameda patrons
of $50 900. He wants the city to confiscate
the works and turn this money into the
public treasury
Fire insurance companies. Mr.. Smith be-
lieves,. are growing rich on their income
the neighborhood Of $4,000 per annum.
He will demand a yearly royalty of $40 900
from these corporations 70 m ma nIai the
run entirely for the benefit of the insur-
ance companies.
According to Mr.. Smith the telephone
company should contribute handsomely
toward paying the running expenses OF
the city. He asserts it is making $4,000 a
year in Alameda and he thinks the least
it can do is to pay $4,000 of the. amount an
nually for the privilege of doing business
here.
Mr.. Smith wants to have all the water
company makes. It's net "rofit last year
was SIT .902 &c. The city will run the works
If Mr.. Smith has his way. These various
amounts, he figures. will be ample 20 con-
duct the city's business without levying
taxes on individual property holders.
His circular is creating considerable in
terest to-day and is the talk Of the city in
rnnlitical circles.

worlds largest erapeyine.

La Para Grande. the biggest grape
vine in the world, has reached the end
of its long outdoor life, and will soon
be cut down. Seventy-five years 1t has
been growing on ranch in the Monte
cito valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal,
but it has shown signs of dying. so,
the owner. Albert Magee, the Pittsburg
stove manufacturer, has ordered it re-
moved. From the pride of the Cali
fornia vineyards the vine will be
turned into museum curiosity. The
Santa Barbara chamber of commerce
will preserve it as a specimen of what
the soil of Santa Barbara county is
able to produce, La Para Grande has
trunk or main stem three feet and a
half in circumference, and the trellis,
higher than a mans head, on which
the spreading branches of the vine are
supported, measures nearly six feet in
each direction. In its prime this single
vine produced full four tons of grapes
in a single year. Those days of its
glory are, however. long past.-St.

WILL NOT SEAT ROBERTS.

1t will now be but short time
before congress meets, and the
question will then be settled as to
whether or not Brigham Roberts,
of Utah, will represent his district
in the legislative body of the
United States.
Roberts has not been forgotten.
Throughout the entire country the
press continues the discussion of
the subject of his being seated
and the general sentiment is that
he should peremptorily be sent
back to his polygamous people.
That he is polygamist at heart as
well as in fact, he openly admits.
That polygamy is an unlawful in
stitution is well known. 1t would
then be most decided disgrace
to congress to take in a memb Der
who openly favors lawlessness and
seeks to establish the permanency
of au institution that prostitutes
decency and places virtue at pre-
MUM.
1t is perfectly natural that the
great majority of people should
protest against this attempt of the
Mormon elders to assert themselves
in defiance oil law and right, and
there is hardly any question of
congress taking stand against
them
