DEATH OF MRS. D. D. coLToY.
Widow of WeIl-KnOwn General Passes
Away in Washington.

Word has arrived from Washington,
d. c., telling of the death there of
Mrs. d. D. Cotton. widow of the
famous pioneer and upbuilder of Cali
fornia, General David Douty Cotton.
Mrs. Cotton had two daughters, one of
whom, Mrs. Henry McLane Martin of
Washington, d. c., still lives. The
other daughter, Mrs. Crittenden
Thornton, died in Paris a little over
two years ago.
Mrs. Cotton was formerly Miss Ellen
M. White, daughter of DR.. Chauncey
White of Chicago. She came to this
State in the early sixties as the young
bride of David d. Cotton, then a
Sheriff in the northern mining section.
Their married life was happy one
until her husbands death on October
8, 1878. During many years of strug-
gle and vicissitudes in the rough
mountain country Mrs Cotton was
ever at her husbands side, and none
was prouder than she when, for an
act of courage. the northern Sheriff,
her husband, was made general of
the State militia by Governor Bigler.
During the days of political struggle

his comfort in time of defeat. And
afterward when success crowned his
business ventures she Was a happy
sharer in his good fortune. AS owner

Shortly thereafter Mrs. Cotton re-
moved to Washington with her two
daughters.

SIGNS OF LIFE
IN ALVISO TOWN
Citizens, After Half a Cen
tury, Prepare to Take Ad-
vantage of Their Rights
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Feb 11.-After a Rip Van
Wrinkle existence of more than fifty
years, the people of the town of Alviso
have decided to avail themselves of the
act of incorporation granted them by
the Legislature in 1852. At that time
Alviso was one of the fiourishing towns
of Santa Clara Valley, with great pros
poets in view. The Incorporation act
provided that the citizens were to hold
an election on the first Monday in May
of each year. There is no record of
such an election. The only record in
existence is the passage of a legislative
act in 1862 granting the Board of Trus-
tees of the town of Alviso the right to
convey certain lands within the cor
porate limits of the town. None of the
old residents of the place has any re-
membrance of town government.
TIE act of Incorporation provided for
a board of five Trustees and gave the
board the privilege of levying a wharf
age tax on vessels and to levy a tax of
25 cents on each 800 valuation of prop
erty for the support of the town gov
ernment. The incorporate limits of AL
viso include some 10000 acres and ox-
tend from the present town site to the
bay waters.
Within the last few weeks there has
been boom in the affairs of AIviso
and the people of that burg have de-
cided to avail themselves of the advan-
tages of Incorporation. Meetings have
been held and the matter discussed.
Attorneys Oneal and Richardson of
San Jose have been consulted and they
have advised the citizens that the in
corporated town still exists. At a meet
ing of the Alviso Improvement Club
last Wednesday night the following of
ficers were appointed to look after the
towns affairs and to arrange for the
regular election in May: Trustees-W.
F. Robidoux, p. B. Martin, James A.
Shields, John M. Lords and John J.
Ortley Jr.; Treasurer, William Ortley:
Marshal, F. o. Cakes; Assessor, Miles
Hollister.
For several years the saloonkeepers
of Alviso have refused to pay anv
license to the county, alleging that the
Incorporation of the town stopped the
county from the collection of such tag.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. H.
There is not the slightest truth in the
report printed in the London Daily
Mail to-day to the effect that the first
act of the new Minister of the Interior.
Bouligan, on arriving in st. Peters
burg on Friday, was to have the res
idence of Witte, president of the Com
mittee of Ministers, searched by the
police, who removed mass of docu-
ments for examination.

convinced that the troops will obey
orders, there is little prospect of gen.
eral disorder.
The Narva quarter, for example. is
everywhere strongly picketed and a
bugle signal will concentrate six COM
panies at given point in a few min
utes. Like arrangements have been
made in other manufacturing sections
and an adequate force is on hand to
preserve order in the center of the
city.
The employers have not arrived at a
decision for joint action in making
concessions to the strikers, and many
of them, tiring of the dilatoriness of
the others, are already attempting to
satisfy the men on their own account.

Ohildren's Day at Saltwater

In keeping with the time honored
custom, Children's Day services OF
a beautiful and highly pleasing ma
ture, were held at the Christian
Church at Saltwater on Sunday.
The Church was lavishly trimmed
and decorated with Springs choic-
est offering and from all parts OF
the Interior the blushing flowers
displayed their glory, while the
altar and pulpit were banked with
the seasons wealth. The exer-
cises were largely given over to the
children, and the music rendered
and recitations delivered were of a
bright and joyous nature. The
audience was large and the efforts
OF the little ones were thoroughly
enjoyed.

age and burdened with the innum-
cradle discomforts of advanced years

one years, closed his eyes in the
dreamless night of long repose at

GREAT GROWTH OF p. E. OHUROH.
Ten Times Nearest Rival, Says Presbyterian
Pastor-Praises Bishop Potter.

The Rev. DR.. Thomas Reed
Bridges, of the Second Presbyter-
ian Church, of Newark, read a
paper Monday at the Presbyterian
Ministers Association in New
York, on The Causes Of the Grow
tn and Present Prosperity OF the
Episcopal Church in New York
City"
Official statistics quoted show
that, even as compared with the
Presbyterian Church, the growth
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
is about 10 to /, and the Presbyter-
ian Church makes better showing
than any other Protestant denomi-
nation. In round numbers Dr..
Bridges said the number of commu-
nicants in the Presbyterian Church
had increased in that city in the
last fourteen years only about
twenty-five hundred, while in the
Episcopal Church the increase had
been about twenty-five thousand.
The speaker said the personality
of Bishop Potter had not little to
do with this. The second cause
stated was the concentration OF
power in a few great central
churches. DR.. Bridges gave as the
third cause the form of service and
worship.
