Mrs. Bertha Grismore. residing at sos
Twenty third avenue, was hailed before
Police Judge Mortimer Smith to-day to
answer to a charge that she had
threatened to kill Mrs. Louisa Lind,
4216 East Sixteenth street, on sight.
There is a man in the case. according
to Mrs. Lind, who objected. she insists,
to the attentions that Mrs. Grismore
was receiving from L. Thomas, the
complainant's brother-in-laW.
Some time ago the Grismores, the
Linds and the Thomases occupied the
same residence. Mrs. Lind announced
strenuously that she would not permit
Mrs. Grismore to make goo-goo eyes at
her .brother-in-law. The quarrel that
followed caused breaking up of the
hitherto amiable relations. Soon after
the separation 1t came to Mrs. Lind's
ears that Mrs. Grismore had threat

she declared, but can tell when love-

Mrs. Grismore was given week by
Judge Smith in which to consider the
situation with view possibly to the
withdrawal of any harsh words she
might have spoken concerning her for
mer friend and associate.

signs. bin boards, bicycle racks and the
like that blocksge the thoroughfares of

the sign order, but he is satisfied that
In the long run the reform will find
unanimous support.
To facilitate the carrying out Of the
order. the police are collecting facts
touching the character OF the signs,
both as to those that are on
the sidewalks or are suspended from
buildings. The intention is to order the
removal of all projecting boards or
other devices that might be construed

lines il is understood that more strict
enforcement Of municipal ordinances

VICTORY FOR
CONTRA COSTA.
Judge Ellsworth Intimates
Water Company Is Entitled
to NOnsuit Niehaus Bros.
ASK $146,OOO DAMAGES
Berkeley Millmen Would Re-
cover for the Loss of Mill
That Was Not Protected
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Dec. %.
According to the intimation given by
Judge Ellsworth this evening, he does
not think that water company is re-
sponsible for a loss by fire on account
OF lack of water in the pipes. He
has given Attorney w. s. Goodfellow
until December 30 to find any authority
that will change his view on this sub
ject. but as the matter now stands he
says that he believes that the Contra
Costa Water Company is entitled to a
nonsuit in the action brought against
1t by the Niehaus Brothers Company
of Berkeley for s146,0O0 damages.
There is no California decision bear
ing directly upon the point, but after
an entire day of argument by Attor
neys Samuel knight ana NJ. c. Chap
man Judge Ellsworth declared that he
did not think that a water company
could be held blamable if the water was
being used to such an extent that there
was no force at the hydrants While
he admits that the Niehaus Brothers
were paying for fire protection and had
seven hydrants in different parts of
their mill which was destroyed, he does
not think this such contract that the
company can be held liable for the lack
of pressure or for any more water than
the system can ordinarily supply.
1t is the contention of the plaintiffs
that having collected the money at so
much a hydrant for fire protection, the
company was responsible when the pro-
lection was not there when needed.

Mortality Rate Put at an
Extremely Low Figure on
New Population Estimates
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Off1ce San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, Dec. 22.
DR. Edward Won Adelung, Health Of
ficer of Oakland, has compiled data
upon which he finds the population of
this city to be 93,250. Using this as
ba sis. the Health Department has is
sued a statement showing the mortal
ity rate for 1904 to be 11.44 for each 1000
of population. This rate is so far below
that of three other large cities Of Cali
fornia that it places Oakland way in
the lead from hygienic standpoint
Comparisons as to death rates are
made by the Health Department as fol-
lows. the figures being the deaths for
each thousand persons:
Oakland, 1144; Sacramento, 1850; Los
Angeles, 1878; San Francisco, 20.15.
The estimates of population upon
which Dr. Won Adelung has taken his
figures are as follows:
Registration office. $4,000; Board of
Trade estimate, $1,000; School Depart
ment estimate, $4,000; Oakland Free Lii
brary estimate, $4,000; Sanitary Inspec-
tors estimate, 9O,500; City Auditors es-
innate, s0000.
The Health officer accepted these fig
ures as very conservative. He did not
include the important estimate of 105,-
6S6, made by F. M. Hustled, publisher Of
the city directory, because he did not
want to appear in a position where, by
any possibility, he could be accused Of
undue booming.

To make necklaces as complicated in de-

are required; and as it is necessary that
the threads of these should not be en-
tangled, the work should be done on a
table covered with white cloth, in which
the needles are stuck when not in use.

tique Egyptian bugles of fine blue color
and perfectly matched, some red garnets
and gilt beads, which we have made un-

form the upper circle, and the blue bugles

are Indian drop garnets suspended by
gilt beads. To construct this necklace we

should be threaded on fine wire, to give
a firm purchase to the threads of the
interacing lines and pendants.
Very graceful necklaces can be made
by well-proportioned and graduated feS-
toons of pearls and other beads, attached
by small gold filigree plaques, or by sin
gle beads of brilliant color.

JAPANESE BEADS

Interesting necklaces are also made Of
Japanese metal Daimio beads linked to-
gether by ropes of SIX or seven strands
of fine black and dull red beads, or
these may alternate in lengths of about
four inches between each large metal
bead. These necklaces are most ef-
fective if made in the form called negI-
gee, and are very fashionable at present
in Paris. A negligee is from ~ to 45
inches long, and ends with two heavy
ornate taSSelS. 1t is made of several
strands of fine beads, attached at regu-
lar distances by large beads of artistic
beauty and interest. 1t is worn twisted
twice round the neck and tied in front.
The Daimio beads of which these
necklaces can be made, are often of
great artistic beauty and interest, each
bead being encruSted with various
metals, and minutely chased, often dam
ascened and encircled by patinas of diff
ferent tints. Artists were not ashamed
to sign these beads, nor great noble
men TO wear them as part of the cos
tune. Genuine old Daimio beads are
rare, but modern Japanese limitations
are beautiful enough to use for neck
laceS.
The model given in Figure . can be
followed in a variety of ways. / have
seen 1t very prettily worked by using
straight pieces of pale pink coral as the
radiating bars, with sman sea green
beads fer the rows. An original and
beautiful necklace could be made by
using blue Egyptian bugles for the bars,
with amuletS for the pendants, the
whole strung together with seed pearls
and tiny blue Egyptian beads.
In fact, there is no end to the fancy
with which necklaces may be designed.

.HE making Of beads is one Of the

- sides c1ttfnn n t11raI stnnns cnch


THE making Of beads is one Of the
most ancient of the arts Be-
sides cutting natural stones, such
as comedians, agates, garnets
and emeralds into beads, plain and
faceted, the Egyptians manufactured
beads from glass rods much in the same
way as the Venetians do nowadays.
The same methods were followed by
the Greeks and the Romans. Some of
these glass beads have obtained from
age an iridescence and beauty not Or
iginally theirs.
The Egyptians also made long bugles
of n brilliant turquoise color, which no
modern manufacturer is able to emulate.
These were used chiefly TO form the
mat which Is found on the chest Of
mummies. and threaded with small,
round, fat beads of different colors, and
amulets and scarabs. to make the neck
laces found also round the necks of
mummies.
1T was, however, the Etruscans who
first seem to have made necklaces works
of art, and their designs have remained
our most valued models to this day. In
the British Museum there are, in the
gem room, some beautiful and interest
ing examples of Etruscan necklaces. In
have used rare old Egyptian glass
beads as jewels, set with fine chains,
small plaques and leaves of gold, much
in the same way as was done by CastiI-
lani of Rome 2500 years later.

hich you can truthfully say you en-

which you can truthfully say you en-
joy.
Remember that it is as natural for
these men and women to love their
home as for you to love that you have
left.
They will deeply resent any criti-
cism of their methods of life, local
customs, etc.
Little speeches Of this kind uttered
in thoughtless moment are tremen-
dously hard to live down.
Again she should be on her guard
against repeating any items of i'll
natured gossip which may come to
her ears concerning members of the
community.
Family quarrels are another pitfall
of which the newcomer should be-
ware. 1t is better to avoid any ex-
preston of opinion whatever in such
cases unless, happily, it should fall to
your lot to mediate in the worthy in
terests of peace.

The woman whose hat, bought

the hint found in those ribbon

Remove the dingy ribbon or
feather, brush the straw thor

that will pass muster as new.
The illustrated article on neck
lace making speaks for itself. SO
many girls are now devotees Of
this charming craft that the mere
suggestion of new design is
sufficient.
