ART SHOW CLOSES.
California Club Ladies Find Their
First Exhibition a Success.

The first annual exhibition of the in
dustrial arts of California under the aus
pices of the California Club closed last
night at Mechanics Pavilion after a sue
cessful week. The beautifully furnished
annex held a crowd that found difficulty
in moving about at times, so densely
We're the people packed. Almost as great
a throng viewed the artistic handiwork of
Callfornians during the afternoon. On
both occasions attractive musical pro-
grammes were offered the visitors.
The closing day was called President S
day in honor of Mrs Lowell White, the
head of the club of lireless women. She
was assisted in receiving afternoon and
evening by. the board of directors of the
club, the ladies of the finance committee
of the exhibition, members of the hospital
section and directors of the Porteous
Club. They were kept busy for many
hours greeting their callers.
In planning the exhibition the ladies of
the California Club had no desire to make
money. They merely wished TO put be-
fore the people of the State the products
of hands engaged in the industrial arts.
They would have been satisfied even had
they been a little out of pocket, and they
rather expected they would be. They
were, therefore, agreeably disappointed at
the indications early in the week that
they would be on the right side of the
ledger. Day by day the crowds increased
until last night, when the banner throng
assembled

dressed on the eighth day. 1 never had
the doctor with me at all; just the
nurse and one or two friends. My
friends thought I was sick a very short
time. l think Dr. Pierce'S Favorite Pre-
scription is indeed true mothers
friend for it helped me wonderfully.
1t kept me from having miscarriage.
This makes my second child; with the
first one l did not take 'Favorite Pre-
scription' and I had a miscarriage.
The little one lived just about two
months and she was sick all the time.
This last baby is as plump and healthy
as any mother could wish. She is about
three weeks old now and is gaining in
flesh every day"
That letter offers a practical exam
pie of what 'Favorite Prescription" has
done for thousands of women. Almost
all the letters received by DR.. Pierce
dwell on the wonderful absence of pain,
the cheerful spirits, the perfectly safe
and comfortable feeling as the hour of
trial draws near, and then the crown
ing surprise of all, that the ordeal of
the birth hour is so short and almost
painless. But a good many other wo-
men are pleased to tell the other side
of the story, how robust their health
becomes, how fine the form and fair
the face that follows the use Of this
health giving medicine.

The Romance and Reality Of
Woman'S Love.

OF all lovers leaps sung in song or
told in story, that was the greatest.
Do you remember the story as Mr..
Browning tells it in the rhyme of the
Duchess May? A tale of those fierce
feudal times when might was right and
when the law was writ in the sharp
edge of a mans sword? Sir Guy had
stolen away the bride of a rival suitor.
And now that rival has besieged the
castle, which has sheltered their brief
happiness, until there is no more use in
defense. In despair Sir Guy climbs to
the topmost tower and sends for his
steed. He will take one leap from the
battlements and die like a man. But
his wife hears the steed's hoofs on the
stair, and follows. 1t was the horse

HE DIED AT NYAK, ALASKA
HIS HAT FOUND NEAR THE TOP
OF A HIGH CLIFF.
1t IS Supposed He Climbed After an
Eagles Nest and Losing His
Grip Fell Into the Sea
and Drowned
Oakland ofice San Francisco Call

90S Broadway, May q.
The mysterious disappearance and sub
sequent death last May of William G..
Trimble, who formerly resided with his
father at Berkeley, has been solved. and
the supposed manner of his demise was
revealed this afternoon through petition
for letters of administration on the estate
filed by his father. Joel Z. Trimbe.
The petition sets forth that William G.
Trimble died on May %, 1898. at Nyak,
seven miles from Karluk. on the Kodiak
Islands. Alaska. and that the estate, so
far as known consists of a $1,000 life in
surance policy and personal property
amounting to s25.
1t develops now that when young Trim
BILE left his home in Berkeley in the early
part of last year he went to Alaska there
to be employed at the fisheries of Hume
Bros. The season not having opened
Trimble looked about for recreation and
sport. and hit upon the idea of seeking
eagles nests. He had arranged with an
other young man at the fisheries to go to
Nyak on May % last for that purpose,
but there was some hitch and the other
man could not accompany him. so that he
was compelled TO make the journey alone.
He went in one of Hume Bros boats and
has never been seen since.
The next day however, men were sent
70 search for him at Nyak They were
unable TO locate him, but afterward found
Trimbles hat near the top of one of the
cliffs. where he had evidently climbed TO
theory, therefore, that Trimble lost his
grip and tumbled into the waters below.
where he was drowned in a depth of
twenty feet. There, was no other means
by which he could leave the island alive
than by the company's boat. The body
has never been recovered, but the facts
as narrated will be used at the hearing OF
the fathers petition as proof Of the son

The killing of little Corlis Mace by

probably have been avoided week ago
the Chief of Police met with the Street
committee and discussed with them the
fact that the Haywards electric road and
the Southern Pacific street railroad had
not complied with the ordinance requir-
Ing practical fender devices to be affixed
TO their cars.
Should the ordinance requiring these de-
vices be valid, and ii is said there is no
doubt as TO its validity, the negligent
companies are liable to fines amounting
TO immense sums. The ordinance was
passed 1nally February 23 1894 It pro-
Nides that within thirty days after its
passage each company holding franchises
from the city of Oakland shall attach to
its cars a fender device of a practical
nature, standing not more than one and
a half inches above the rails and so con-
structed as TO prevent any person from
Within ten days after this period a de-
scription of the particular device must
be filed with the City Council, and If ap-
proved by that body ninety days are al
lowed in which to attach the accepted de-
vice to every car owned by the company.
Under this ordinance by July l, 1894,
every street car running through Oak
tached to it.
The only company that complied with
the ordinance was the Piedmont road.

der which has been approved by officials
on both sides Of the bay. The Piedmont

pronounced Mrs. Lahl dead and advised
him TO notify the Coroner.
Glover corroborated the story told by
his wife. He had neither knowledge nor
suspicion as to the guilty person. At this
stage of the proceedings Coroner Hill
interjected dramatically:
You are under oath, and it is your duty
and my duty to find out who killed this
girl. This girl has been murdered. With
proper care and attention, even if a crimi-
nal operation had been performed. she
might have recovered. l repeat it. she
was deliberately murdered, and this crime
must be punished.
The witness persisted that he knew
nothing of the affair other than what he
had told. DR.. Cosmas Glover corroborated
his brothers. testimony as to his having
been called in after the death of the girl.
The jury bro ht in a verdict to the eff
feet that the woman had been murdered
by unknown persons.
Mrs Elizabeth Bullwinkle caused q
mild sensation by repeating what her son
Fred had told her regarding a statement
made to him by the deceased to the effect
that Mrs. Lahl suspected Lahl of having
been the man who stole q sack of coin
belonging to the Wells-Fargo Express
Company from wagon standing in front
of the Anglo-California Bank last March.
Lahl is said to be in Los Angeles at the
present time.
