TAX ON STUDENTS.
The Governor Calls a Special Meet
ing of the University
Regents.

Governor Gage has called a special
meeting of the regents of the State Uni
versity for the purpose of reconsidering
their action in taxing each student a
matriculation fee of 800. The meeting will
be held on next Saturday.
While there is considerable opposition to
the proposed tax the governing body of
the institution claims that such action is
necessary in order to overcome the de-
ficiency in the fund for maintenance. In
explanation of the action of the majority
of the regents one Of them said yesterday:
"Al we want is an assurance from Gov
erlior Gage that if the regency borrows
the money to pay the Indebtedness the
State will make some provision for it's re-
navment We have carefully considered
The matter, and unless the Governor
comes to our rescue the proposed tax will
have IN stand &"

THE BOARD OF HEALTH
WILL TAKE ORDERS
LEON DENNERY TO BE ELECTED
SECRETARY.
The Protest Against His Choice Is
Not Needed by the Appoint
ing Powers.

The law, as interpreted by the courts,
gives the Board of Health power to dis
pense with the present force of employees
in the Health Department; hence the
work of distributing the spoils Of office
will not be long delayed.
The board will meet tonight and prob
ably proceed to remove incumbents and
appoint their successors. Leon Dennery
is on the slate for secretary of the board
The dose is hard one for the doctors to
swallow, but the powers which directed
Gage to select the men composing the
new Board of Health now demand that
Dennery shall have the position.
Regard for the moral health Of the
community prompted the board to enter
silent protest against Dennery's selec-
ton for secretary, but the protest was
not needed by Burns. The hint has been
given that Dennery Is the right kind of
person to represent Burns.

The return of Bishop Nichols of this

efforts TO obtain a new rector. The breach
is still widening At last nights service.

the almsplates waiting for the vestrymen
TO walk TO the altar rail and receive them.
NO Vestrymen came; but two lads, the
sons Of the treasurer and the rector, APP
peared and took the plates from the pas

the church they were returned containing
just Is cents.

affect the significance of the article.
Treasurer Read, who fills the office Of
president of the State TypOgraph

to contend that a minister of the Gospel
must receive over $50 per month to en-
able him to pay his way. Workingmen
have solved the problem, and know how

In Mr.. Reads article also appears the
following comment:
When the worhngman requires a suit Of
clothes he has to pay cash or instalments to
the full value. Does the preacher? If the
public school is not good enough FOR the work

private school. Does the preacher? If the

full fare. Does the preacher his family?
The preacher seems to have all the adyan-
tages while the workingnian has the privilege
Of paying for all he gets or going without.
The church treasurer is a who Will gen

there Is very little money left for the painter,

William Heating. Warden of the Insane,
is to have a trial before the Supervisors.
Three weeks ago he was attacked at the
entrance to the hospital by the father of
a girl toward whom it is alleged Heating
behaved foolishly. This incident brought
out others, and many witnesses appeared
who have little stories to tell.
At that time two of the Supervisors

cided to leave the matter until their re-
turn. The full board was present this
morning and the matter was called up by
Supervisor ROeth, who asked that 1t
should be disposed of at once.
Mr.. Mitchell said that all he knew was
what he had read in the newspapers while
on his vacation. He paid Heating a high
tribute as a faithful employe who has al
ways attended to his business. and he was
not in favor of discharging him and send
ing him away branded unless the charges
were proved al a hearing He said keat-
ing was not his appointee, but that he
was IN favor Of a hearing and discharging
him If found guilty. All denied being re-
sponsible for Keatng's appointment.

more to say. as he was satisfied that
Heating should be discharged after hear

90S Broadway, June &C.
Next week Coroner Mehrmann is to
walk the carpet before the Supervisors
and explain certain alleged overcharges
in his monthly accounts against the coun-
ty. Many weeks have elapsed since the
county expert reported the alleged over
charges, and when the subject was dis
cussed by the Supervisors each member
of that body took particular pains to go
on record as not being the man who in
stigated the inquiry into Coroner Mehr-
mann's charges. 1t now develops that be-
meath this opposition to Mehrmanns fig
ures is an interesting political feud that
developed during the last county cam
paign.
Supervisor Church. it is said, did not re-
ceive the support he expected in certain
parts of his district, where it was under
stood Coroner Mehrmann had some infiu-
ence. 1t is even limited that in one corner
of Alameda DR.. Mehrmann was not alto
gether unfriendly to Mr.. Churchs OPP
their fights, but Churchs majority was
small enough to cause him considerable
anxiety until many hours after the polls
closed.
As soon as the Supervisors organized
after election an attempt was made to
rearrange the patronage of the doctors at
the Receiving Hospital, County Jail and
Infirmary. AS chairman of the Hospital
Committee Church could do great deal
with this particular patronage. He had
programme which included DR.. Porter to
succeed DR.. Stratton at the Receiving
Hospital, so that ex-Coroner DR. Baldwin
could be given the place at the County
Jail. DR.. Stratton is Senator Strattons
brother, and of course Church's attempt
to put out the Senator's brother met with
strong opposition, in which DR.. Mehrmann
was supposed to be on the side of STRAIT
ton. 1t is well known that during Dr.
Baldwin's term of office he frequently
showed his friendship for Supervisor
Church, and for this reason it is very nat
ural that Church should seek to reward
him at this time. and if possible should
The Coroner states that he will be quite
prepared to explain all his charges when
he goes before the Supervisor next week.

to Rob.
 A plea of divorce recently entered in an Illinois court by Mrs Samuel C. Seeley, wife of the famous embezzler whose magnificent coup once put his name on everyone's lips, brings to light a most peculiar romance Seeley was, in 1894, the head of the Watson Shoe and Leather Bank of New York city. In connection with his partner Frederick Barker, and his brother-in- law, Samuel E. Aymar, he robbed the bank of over $350, GOO. He was caught, tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years in Sing Sing. Barker suicided and Aymar escaped. One of the heaV- jest losers by the failure of the Ma tional Shoe and Leather Bank was a certain Brooklyn millionaire. He had been one of the first to suspect Seeley. and it was mainly through his 1n- fuence that the trial ended as it did. Mrs. seeley bore a prominent part Ill the case and gained the admiration and respect of all by the faithful manner in which she elung to her husband. The Brooklyn millionaire, who had lived several decades a bachelor, was struck with admiration for Mrs seeley. He lightened her load as much as might be after her husband went to Sing Sing and aided her. it is said, to start in life. This was five years ago. Some time ago property in Brooklyn, which formerly had belonged to Mrs. seeley and had stood in her name. but had been transferred was deeded back to her on the statement that q friend of the family" was ready to pay the taxes and clear off the other indebted ness. The transfer was made, and the next day the taxes were paid. The money, it is said, was advanced by the elderly Brooklyn admirer of Mrs. seeley. Mrs. Seeley went to Illinois a year ago and acquired a legal resi- denee there for the purpose of bring ing the suit. The ground of her action was that her husband had been con- victed of a felony Under the Illinois law as in New York. this was ground for an absolute divorce. Just how long she remained deaf to the suit of the Brooklyn gentleman. or just how soon after her husbands conviction the latter began his attentions, is the private business of the couple. Mrs. seeley says she did not listen to the millionaire until the latter brought her positive proof that her husband had been unfatthful At any rate. 8 speedy aenouement to the romance is prom ised. as the divorce will soon be granted. The lady has written to some New York friends that she hopes soon 10 return to the East a safe and happy woman.
