woman, and have accorded her the most un-
| usual privileges. Lady Curzon is the only
American girl whom the queen ever saluted
with the royal kiss on either cheek; further
more, she is the only woman of our nation
who has ever been admitted to the queens
bedroom and after whose wellbeing her
| majesty thinks to inquire.
Perhaps more emphatic sign of her pop.
ularity was the cordial interest and good
sistershp showed when Lady CurZon began
openly to court at her table and drawing
room the favor of great parliamentary pow
ers for her husband, and when she went
about soliciting votes. Influencing votes is
one thing the English woman considers her
special privilege, and Lady Randolph Church.

so within bounds. The duchess of Marl-
borough and even Mrs. Naylor Nayland
would hardly venture to try, powerful as
their social positions are but while still
simple Mrs. Curzon this fair Chicagoan not
only ventured her skill among the voters,
but she was aided and abetted by her feml
nine English friends of the parliamentary
circle.
Lady Curzon's Loyalty.
Not the least interesting side of Lady Cur
Zon's character is shown, too, in her ardent
affection for the land of her birth, in her
devotion to her family, her husband and her
two little daughters. Enough glory has
shone round her to turn far older head,
and Lady CuTzon is only 27 years Of age,
but she is the same gay, frank, clever girl
of her less brilliant years. One of her
friends has recorded it to her credit that
she constantly speaks of the United States
as home, and has affected no English pro-
nunciation in her speech. She is a clever
correspondent and an earnest one with her
family, especially with her father, and only
a few weeks ago her sisters, Miss Nancy and
Miss Daisy Letter. sailed from New York to
visit the vcerene in India.

OAKLAND CAN HAVE A
FINE FREE LIBRARY
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
90S Broadway, Sept. T.

yU6 Broadway, sept. {.
From Skibo Castle, Scotland comes
the information that Oakland can have
beautiful free library building if she will
undertake to provide a place upon which
to build it, and to guarantee that she will
spend the modest sum of $4,000 a year in
maintaining 1t.
A few weeks ago Henry A. Chittenden
a member of the Oakland Tribune staff,
wrote to Andrew Carnegie telling him of
the great need of a library building in
this city. To-day the following reply was
IF Oakland would do as other cities
have done, /. E., provide site and agree
to maintain the library at a cost of say
$4,000 per year, 1t would give me pleasure II.
to give the necessary $4,000 to build it;
but l must be sure that the community Is
obliged to maintain it as above. NO use
building Libraries unless we are sure OF
their future
For many years Oakland has needed
library building. The city now has
really valuable library housed in very
unsafe wooden building near the City
Hall. 1t has long been standing joke
that the only thing that has saved the
library building from destruction IS the
fact that it adjoins a fire engine station.
In the messages of Mayors for many
years back reference has been made TO
the old shack, and a hope has been eX-
improve matters. The hope has always
ended in disappointment, and although
the Board of Library Trustees eXpends
many times the amount named for main
tenance by Mr.. Carnegie, nothing mas
been done toward providing more solid
building.
This opportunity to have a $4,000 build
ing merely for the obtaining of a site, IS
one that will undoubtedly commend itself
to the citizens, for the library is ready to
move into it, and under the law governing
such matters Oakland has permanently
decided to maintain a free public library
a nd maintenance
must be put in each years tax levy.
81 have not had an opportunity yet to
examine into this matter" said the
Mayor. "but If it is as good as it appears
to be. it is something that the city should
at once take advantage of. Really, within
a week we should be able to notify Mr..
Carnegie that the site is ready and he
can send his check to the Free Library

A MYSTERIOUS
HORSELESS CARRIAGE
A Magnificent Six-Seated Affair Be
ing Built With Secrecy for
CharleV Fair

A horseless carriage that will astonish
the travelling public is now in course Of
construction in this city. 1t will be q
magnificent six seated affair and no ex-
pense is being spared to make it the
fastest and finest thing of it's kind eyer
built in America. The carriage was to
have been ready for its trial trip from
here to San Mateo next week, but as
some of the parts have to be made over
again it will be a week after that before
It will be seen on the streets and in the
park.
The new horseless carriage is being
built for Charles L. Fair, and George A
Knight is taking a great interest in the
machine. Great secrecy is being main
tained over the affair and at least four
shops are building different parts of the
machine. The Oriental Gas Engine
Works IS making the crank shaft and
igniters; the Union Machine Company is
making the hubs and wheels; the Califor-
mia Gas Engine Company is engaged on
other parts, while at least two other shops
are working on the body and fittings. The
whole machine is to be put together un-
der the supervision of J. NJ. Ough and
George Wailenbaugh and when complet-
ed is expected to be the fastest and finest
thing of the kind ever seen here. In 1t
Messrs Fair and Knight expect to make
the run to San Mateo in an hour.

A STRANGE DEATH.

Mystery surrounds the death of Charles
Edward Hutchinson, a local surveyor,
who died on Nineteenth avenue near X
street yesterday afternoon. The man had
been suffering from severe headaches and
took teaspoonful of a patent medicine
known as Celery Soda and expired
about two hours afterward. Dr.. Quigley,
Of 1901 Waller street, who attended the
case, stated that he believed death was
the result of narcotic poisoning. Coroner
Hill will cause an autopsy to be performed
on the body this morning.
Hutchinson was employed as a foreman
for the City Street Improvement Com
pany. He was sitting in a temporary
structure on Nineteenth avenue about
noon yesterday when he called one of his
men. George Sanders, and stated that he
had Just taken a dose of the Celery Soda
for headache and was Ill. He rapidly be-
came worse and at l o'clock DR.. Quigley
was called. Upon the arrival of the physi-
clan the man was unconscious and all eff
forts to save his life were of no avail. He
died at 2:30 p M, or about two hours after
his first complaint Of Illness.
Deceased was well known in this city
and leaves a widow and son. both of whom
are spending the summer at Green Braes.
He was about 50 years of age.

COACH COCHRAN NOW ON
HIS WAY TO BERKELEY

BERKELEY, Sept. Late this even
ing telegram was received from Silver
City, New Mexico stating that Coach
Garret Cochran had left there this after
noon and would arrive in Berkeley next
Monday, September II.
The telegram came to Football Manager
Irwin J. Muma. AS the big coach was
not expected till the 18th of this month,
the news of his intended early arrival is
received with much satisfaction by the
students There is likely to be something
unique in the line of college demonstra-
ton as soon as the gridiron veteran
reaches the university town. Prepara-
tions for the event are now in progress,
and it will be of such a character as to
start the season going with an outburst
of enthusiasm far above anything which
has been seen here before
Cochran is expected to turn out upon
the football field the evening after his ar
rival With the assistance of Kelly Of
Princeton who accompanies him, he
will start in Immediately with the Varsity
team, which is to meet Stanford at the
next Thanksgiving game. The freshman
team will receive some share of attention
at the beginning. as their match with the
cardinal freshmen is scheduled as one of
the first games of the season. The college
men expect to organize rooters club
similar to that of last year to lead in the
yelling and cheering.

908 Broadway, Sept. Z.
On Saturday afternoon the new board
Of directors of the State Deaf and Dumb
and Blind Institute of Berkeley will make
an informal inspection of the institution.
Next Monday the board will hold a reg
ular meeting, and more than the usual
amount of interest has been expressed
regarding the business that may be trans
acted. Among the State institutions the
Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum is
unique, inasmuch as the law creating 1t
thirty-four years ago has never been
amended and superintendent Wilkinson,
who was its first superintendent, is still in
absolute control, never having been dis
turbed.
When the legislative committee made
the round Of the State institution last
year they observed many things in con-
nection with the Berkeley institute which
appeared strange in a State institution

ratify and approve the actions of the su-
perintendent. In the section of the Code
providing for the government of the in
stitution it is stated that If the directors
permit, the superintendent can employ all
the necessary help and teachers. With
the exception of the secretary and pos
sibly the physician the directors have al
lowed the superintendent to have things
his own way.
In many instances it was discovered
that the system pursued by the supertn-
tendent was very commendable, inasmuch
as all his contracts for articles whose
prices fluctuated during the year were let
for very short periods. so that the insti-
tute could take advantage of the market.
It is not known whether the new board
intends to make many changes in the per
sonnel of the management, but 1T is
known that DR.. O. d. Hamlin of this city
has three votes out Of the five to appoint
him physician in place of Dr. Ben Wall.
There is likely to be more than one cam
didate for the secretaryship. Harrison
Clay is the incumbent, but 1t is understood
that there are two or three others anxious
for the place.
Beyond this nothing has been done

knson has run the home very efficiently

the recommendations of the legislative
committee they will probably compile and
adopt bylaws governing their actions and

been set for trial, and as all parties are
eager for a determination as to the legal
