LAWRENCE SMITH DRUGGED
BY CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE
Unconscious In a Fourth Street
Resort -

OAKLAND, July 2.-Lawrence
Smith, an engineer employed at Point
Richmond, was found unconscious
this evening in a resort at 4s74
Fourth street. He was at first
thought to be suffering from an epi-
leptic fit, but at the Receiving Hos
pital a whisky flash was found in his
pocket. In the bottom Of the bottle
were some crystals resembling chlo-
raj. Steward Borchert. beliving that
the man had been drugged, applied
the stomach pump and Smith soon af-
terward recovered consciousness.
The patient said he had come in
from Point Richmond to-day and had
met a stranger, with whom he had
had a number of drinks. After a
round of the saloons the pair had vis-
tied the resort in question. While
there the stranger produced the flask
of whisky, from which Smith took a
drink. That was the last he remem-
bered until restored to consciousness
at the hopsital. Smith knows nothing
of the man in whose company he Wis
tied the place, except that he said he
lived in Alameda. Nothing was taken
from his pockets and if he was drug
ged for the purpose Of robbery the
plot failed. Smith has a brother re-
siding in this city, who is employed
at the Shasta saloon.

In Spite CT II.

Fellow citizens" said the chairman
of the meeting, 'the gentleman whom
am about to introduce to you needs no
introduction at my hands. Wherever the
English language is spoken his name is
a household word. His eloQuence has
thrilled vast audiences. His voice has
always been lifted in defense OF the
principles of truth and right. 1 appre-
ciate it as an honor and a privilege to
preside at a meeting where a public
man so distinguished is to speak-a
meeting Of cultivated people. all eager
to listen to him and ready to yield to
the charm of his matchless oratory.
Gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to
introduce to you this evening the Hon.
Hiram Hankins. who will now address
YOU"
Notwithstanding this introduction,
Mr.. Hankins came forward and made
pretty fair speech.-Chicago Tribune.

that she is mot quite nice" The two
different ideas. and they will never
agree as to whether that girl is nice
or otherwise until they can talk the

opposite OF nice is ''horrid." man

STURGEON Instead of shnd.

Just about now the fishermen down
the bay are putting aside their shad
nets and starting to fish for sturgeon.
This, to the housekeeper, may seem re-
markable, inasmuch as shad are still
high priced and in big demand. largely
because the chilly condition Of the
water has so far kept the shad from
running up stream in great numbers.
The fishermen know what they are
about. however.

There were no distinct classes and the
chiefs influence was only nominal.
The ceremonies of California were
characterized by a very slight develop
ment of the extreme ritualism that was
so characteristic OF the American In
dians and by an almost entire absence
of symbolism of any kind.
In conclusion. DR.. Kroeber saws that
ethnologically California may be said
to be characterized by the absence of
agriculture and OF pottery; by the total
absence of toteism or gentle organ
ization; by an unusually simple and
loose social organization, III which
wealth plays a rather important part;
by a rude development of the arts of
basketry; by lack OF realism; by 4
slight development of fetishism; by the
marked prevalence OF religious restric-
tions connected with birth, death, mar
riage and similar phases of life; by the
predominance among ceremonials of
mourning rites. and by a consid-
erable development Of true conceptions
of creation in mythology.

not on hand and the service had to be
conducted by a lay member.
Benedict, disgusted with the actions
of his wife, has brought suit for di-
vorce. Rumor for some time past has
connected the names Of his wife and
the now missing preacher, who. the
neighbors say, was a frequent visitor
to the Benedict home. Both were be-
levers in socialism and IL was through
this cult, rather than the study of the
scriptures, that their intimacy devel-
oped into a passion.
Hoag, however, has a record. This

where he turned Methodist, but after

he lived in Kansas and before that in
Michigan.
Mrs. Hoag, 1t is said, has been left
almost destitute. Her husband took
nearly every cent in the house, the
money he carried away amounting in
all to about $400. AS an indication
that he did not intend to return. he
left his keys. His wife has since
changed the lock on the door. Bene-

neither Will say what their conclusions

dict are together. Benedict is going to
cut loose promptly from his marital
experience by aid Of the divorce court.
Mrs. Hoag has not decided what
course she will pursue and hopes
against hope that the whole affair will
prove to be a terrible mistake. With
her is her young son. for whom she has
to care.
The two deserted homes are only a
couple of blocks apart. At 1856 Thirty

That women really enjoy q scrim-

the best, In which the feeble are
trampled under foot. gowns are torn
and hats smashed, struggle in which
women OF stature and grip do not
hesitate to snatch a bargain out OF the
hands of another woman and bear Il

OF ethics that governs a woman's con-
duct toward her sister woman, il is
considered perfectly legitimate to
covet your neighbor's garments, or her
cook, and to get them away from her il

Their social organization was simple

the onlx bases of organization were the

proximate to localized clan. but being
