HIGHLAND CROF
How They Lived In the Middle
 Last Century.

In the middle of the last century
 the crofters In the west highlands
 seldom saw money and never needed
 1t. They erected for themselves huts
 mostly built of turf, f1oored with clay and roofed with heather They kept a few cattle, goats and sheep, which grazed at will on the open hillside
 and provided them with milk and
 wool. They lived truly simple life. and their needs were few. They grew oats for their own food and potatoes, which formed their other chief article of diet" Tea was an unknown lux ury. it"was by no means uncommon to find persons who had never tasted 1t. Wheaten bread had never been seen in those parts. Their clothes were made from the f1eeces of their own sheep, spun and woven by the good wives during the long. winter! nights and dyed from the simple dyes made from the lichens which grew on the stems of trees or on the powders of rock in the neighborhood Tho whisky they drank came from secret stills on the hillside and had never paid excise. The nearest parish church was often many miles away. No school was there for the children. Very few of them, indeed, could read CT write. Still fewer had ever heard . word of English spoken. Their spir- itual needs. however, were not neg lected. for they received constant wis it's from the "men," as they were call ed. who had constituted themselves tho spiritual guides of their neighborhood.

An act of the time of Queen Eliza beth ordained that vagrants were to be stripped from the middle upward and whipped till the body is bloody" Four pence each was the recognized charge made by the "whipman" for every male and female vagrant who passed through his hands, but on special occa- sions this sum was exceeded.

GREEK THEATER CONCERT.

BERKELEY, July 1.-THE principal
number OF the symphony concert pro-
gramme in the Greek Theater tomor-
row afternoon is Raffs I'm the For
est" The symphony is described as
picture of daytime, twilight. and night
in the woods. The first two move
ments are suggestive. The third at
tempts actual description, and with re-
rilarkable success. The first movement
bears the title, Impressions and Sen
sations," reminding one of Beethoven's
guide in the pastoral symphony, "Ex-
pressive OF feeling rather than paint
ing" 1t begins with an Introductory
call from the horns, followed by the
strings, pastoral and mysterious in its
effect. and throwing out hints of the
subsequent theme material of the
movement.
The first number on the programme
will be Dvarak's Overture to Nature:
Bach's 'Pastorale" will follow. The
fourth number will be Grieg's Even
ing in the Mountains and "At the
Cradle" and the Overture to SPRING.

WASHINGTON, July Il. - Secretary
Metcalf of the Department of Com

sion as 10 that provision Of the contract

Three machinists were imported from
ST. Johns \. B.. to work imported ma
chinery for the Hoopston Horse Nail
Company at Hoopston, III. Upon COM
plant warrants were sworn out for
their arrest.
The point was made by the defense
that the system OF rolling nails in use
at the HOopston works was new to
American WOrkmen, but that the. work
men imported were familiar with it.
The fact that the imported mechanics
received more for this work than me-
chanics Of similar grade generally re-
ceive in the United States had great
weight with the Secretary, who decided
that the case came sqUarely within the
exception and that the imported work
men should be allowed TO continue on
the work for which they were brought
to the United States.

BOWERS ARE STILL
MAN AND WIFE.
Judge Ogden Refuses to
Issue Decree in the
Hypnotic Ball. Case

OAKLAND, July 11.-Neither John
W. Bowers. who charges his wife, Lille
Bowers, with cruelty, nor Mrs Bowers,
who countered with varying accusa-
tions against her spouse, obtained a de-
cree of divorce in their contest which
ended today before Judge Ogden,
who denied Bowers a judgment on
the ground of misbehavior.
His conduct in his own home toward
Miss Kate Gately is what barred the
husband from getting a decree. which
otherwise Judge Ogden was willing to
grant him.
Despite Mrs. Bowers weird stories
about her spouse's attempts to place
her under the control of patent "hyp-
motto balls" purchased from Eastern
factories of occult mechanical devices,
she had been improper by staying out
nights and had been given to intem-
perance.
Samuel Morgan testified this morn
ing that he had never visited the
Bowers residence except to deliver
merchandise, while Mrs. Eliza
beth Carey, Mrs. Bowers mother, tes-
titled she had never seen her daughter
under the influence of liquor.
Judge Ogden gave the custody of a
child a boy, to the father.

HAsTENs WORK ON
DUMBARTON LINE.
Southern Pacific Is to
Build Short Route
to Oakland at Once
Debris From This City
Will Be Used for the
Fills on the Marshes

OAKLAND, July 11.-Southern Pa
cific Company surveying parties have
commenced preliminary operations on
this side of the bay for the new Dunn
barton Point line to San Francisco by
way of Redwood City and the penin-
sular cutoff. Surveys are being made
for connecting line from Niles to
Dumbarton Point on this side of the
bay, and a right of way between Niles
and Centerville on that route being
owned by the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
CenterviIle is about midway be-
tween Niles and Newark and would
be on a natural line between those
points should the railroad company de-
eide to select that route for its connect
ing link with the Dumbarton Point
branch.
From Centerville to Newark there
is horse car line, which was part of
the old South Pacific Coast road prop
erty, and now belongs to the Southern
Pacific Company. This would furnish
right of way for steam road to
Newark and would give Centerville for
the first time in its history place on
a railroad line.
With connections at Niles for the
Dumbarton Point branch the company
will be able to move much westbound
freight across the bay from that trans
fer point, and without being compelled
to send it into Oakland. This is un-
doubtedly contemplated in the prelim-
mary work which has been started
in the Niles district. Overland freight
which comes through Oakland can be
shipped by way of the South Pacific
Coast to Newark.
1t is the intention of the Southern
Pacific Company to hasten its work on
both sides of the bay. A large fill will
have to be made west of Newark, as
well as on the west side into Red
wood City. Much of the debris that
will be moved out of San Francisco
will be utilized to make sound bottom
for the tracks across the marshes.

JIMMY MCARDLE finds
HOODOO In BLACK MULE
Deal Between Two Small Boys
Leads to Buncoing Of
One of Them.

OAKLAND, July Thames McArd1e,
a bright little boy who has been look
ing around for a chance to invest a
treasured silver dollar so it would
bring him sufficient return to justify a
summer vacation trip, is the victim
of hard luck.
James says he never knew before
that misfortune attached to a black
mule, but he has learned his lesson,
and no such beast of i'll omen shall
obstruct the success of his future
career. he says
Incidentally James has met his mas
ter in finance in a boy about his own
age.
In his rambles about Piedmont this
morning Jimmy saw the boy alluded
to leading the black mule-a large,
dignified appearing animal. Jimmy
asked what was going to be done with
the mule.
He's lost" said the other boy, "and
I'm taking him to the pound. You
know they give you $3.50 there for
every mule you bring in.
The Russell Sage bump on Jimmy's
head began to pain him. He saw the
opportunity for a start in the world
See here" he said. "Il give you
81 for the mule right now. It's long
way to the pound and he may drop
dead on the way"
The deal was consummated at once
and soon afterward Jimmy. on his
solemn steed. rode up to the Oakland
City Hall. There the police took the
mule and told the boy he had no divi-
dends coming.
Jimmy is haunting Piedmont in
search of the boy that did" him.

AUERBACH CAN t
GET INTEREST
ON FORTUNE.
Banks Overlooking With Funds
and University EmpIoye Has
an inheritance on His Hands
KEEPS JOB THOUGH WEALTHY
PerpIexitieS of a Capitalists
Life Crowd Upon Coop"
Salesman When Gold Is His

BERKELEY, July 11-Rudolph H
Auerbach, one of the university's pic
turesque characters. is in the eXtraor-
binary position of having come into
an inheritance of cold quarter of a
million. money that he is ready to
bank but which he is unable to draw
any interest on. The banks, he says.
have refused to accept the coin as saw
ings deposits.
People in the East, or any other sec
tion, who think of the region around
San Francisco Bay as poverty
stricken place may find some food for
thought in the strange case of Mr..
Auerbach, who is at a loss to know
where TO put the money he has Just
inherited in Europe so that it will draw
at least the meager rate of interest
savings banks pay.
Auerbach declares that the banks re-
fuse his good gold money; that he can
only place a few thousands of it in
savings banks where interest is paid
upon deposits. His money would be
accepted by the commercial banks, but
no interest would be paid him for its
use.
For many years Auerbach has been a
familiar figure on the university cam
pus. He has been one of the secre-
taries in the cooperative store, where
the student body congregates daily,
and there Auerbach for years has met
and chaffed and laughed and jested
with the undergraduate of the univer-
sity. He had no aversion to the jests
at his own expense, and it is this spirit
that has endeared him to the student
crowd, so that when the news came
last winter that his mother had died
in Germany, leaving him a large es-
tate, the students first condoIed with
him and then expressed regret for his
departure from the co-operativ store.
They supposed, naturally. that a man
with quarter of a million dollars
would have no further use for the CO.
operative store on the campus They
were mistaken. Auerbach has come
back 10 the store and taken his place
at the desks there. ready to cater TO
the wishes of the undergraduate host
