A Case of Cold oysters.

1t was not long in coming. About a
half-minute later I heard a sharp,
nasal voice at my back. It's o was
decidedly indicative of a petty, fault
finding nature.
Then oysters is cold. I bet they
were fried about two ours ago.. Please
take 'em right back and nave 'em
warmed" and as I gave a peep over
my shoulder, which I could not resist,
the woman was pointing with disdain
at a platter on which reposed a few
of the tasty bivalves.
The woman was we'll dressed-better
dressed than many, as far as materials
were concerned. Her airs and graces
were wonderful to behold, but her
grammar was ~atrocious, though it was
plain to be seen that she did not
know it.
"If there is any one thing I can't
bear, it's cold OYSTERS she declared
to a woman who sat near; "of course,
that is, when they amt raw. You ex-
pect EN- to be cold, ~ice-cold, when
they're raw. We have 'em every night
for the first course. You know we al
ways have course dinners"
The woman whom she addressed
looked coldly at her. but her lack OF
cordially was unnoticed.

smaller physically than his opponents on

elected.
How did you overcome your ehortccm-
ings in size and age?'' someone asked
him a few days ago.
"Oh." said Lever, II tell them that my
father was a Lever and that my mother
was a Derrick. and that being the son %

FLANNEL WAISTS
FOR WINTER WEAR.

The winter has developed a taste. never
before, 1 think. so generally displayed. for
simple flannel blouses. Two-thirds of the
morning and school garments shown in the
shops are in thin, striped flannel or
sparsely patterned delaines, which fabrics
have a smooth, firm, almost hard surface
that takes the tailor finish exceptionally
well. They are printed or woven in all
the prevailing shades.-Harper's Bazaar.

PETTIcoAT HINT.

If annoyed by the dust-holding quail
tiles of the ordinary petticoat rufle. as
well as by the rapidity with which n
wears out, try cutting the next one in
circular form.
Use W yards of yard-wide taffeta
cut in two circles a yard in diameter
then cut 9 smaller circle from the CEN
tire of each, leaving a rufie a foot in
width.
Cut open the circular rufies on
straight edge hnd join the two pieces
with feiled HeYms- Hem and attach as
you would ahy ruf1e. When the. hen,
trays cut it on and rehem.
This method pffers no fold or creases
IN which dust pay settle, and thus pro-
longs the life g I a petticoat.

BAY CITY BOOKKEEPER IS
HELD; BIG DEFICIT PR0BED
Experts Who Have Examined Ac-
counts In Treasurer's Office Re-
fuse to Make Statement.
Bantel Questioned

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-There
were no developments today in the al
legged shortage of $4,000 in the city and
county treasury, which was made pub
lie yesterday through the arrest OF
James C. Tomalty, for some years
chief bookkeeper in the office OF the
city treasurer.
Tomalty is still in the city prison,
where he was taken last night. No
charge has been placed against him,
but he Is being held in custody pend
ing investigation, and aside from his
wife and his attorney, both OF whom
called upon him this morning, no one
is allowed to see him.
In the absence of Attorney General
U. S. Webb, who is in Sacramento, and
District Attorney w. II. Langdon, who
went to the country for his weekend
vacation, the expert accountants who
have been working on the books of the
treasurers office for three weeks de-
clined to give any information as to
the details of the alleged shortage.
Former Treasurer Charles A. Bantel,
during whose regime the shortage is
said to have occurred, stated today he
had no knowledge of any 1rregularlty
in his department.
I'm September, 1907" said Mr.. Ban
tel, "the books were exported under
the direction of the finance committee
of the board of supervisors, assisted
by an expert from the mint. All the
money was counted and the books ex-
amined. An excess of 20 cents was
found when 1 turned the office over to
my successor in January, 1908"
Former Treasurer Bantel stated that
the bookkeeper, Tomalty. had no access
to the money vault and could have
taken no money unless he had con-
federate.

CALIFORNIA WOMAN SAYS
CADAvER is HER HUSBAND

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Considerable ex-
citement was caused in the medical
laboratories of the University OF Chi
cago yesterday by the sudden dis
covery that one of the cadavers upon
which four students had been dissect-
ing since October 1 was claimed by a
woman in California as the body of her
long lost husband.
Five months ago the man, who was
about so years old, died a pauper at
the county hospital, leaving neither
clew to his own identity nor to his rela-
tives After the body had been held for
twenty days-a customary time-it
passed into the possession of the Uni
versity of Chicago, as do many others
from the county hospital unclaimed by
kin.
After keeping the body in storage
thirty days, as the law requires, 1t was
placed upon the disseeting table.
I'VE were notified by the Demon
strators' association, which furnished
US the specimen, that the body had
been claimed by relative" said Prof.
r. r. Bensley, head of the anatomical
department. 80 we took 1t out Of the
dissecting room and placed it in stor-
age to await the claimants.
ST know nothing of the history of the
incident, except that the woman lives
in California and that she held some
insurance on the man."

OBJECT TO MERGER
OF DOWNEY AVENUE
Old Residents Protest, on Sentimental
Grounds, Against Change Of Name
and VIII Fight Proposed
Measure

The plans OF Councilman Dromgole
for including Downey avenue as a part
of North Broadway are meeting with
strong opposition from some quarters
in the First ward. Many of the old
residents object on sentimental grounds
to the change of name, and when the
matter comes up for consideration by
the council, as 1t will as soon as all
plans are completed for the Improves
ment of the avenue, a delegation VIII
appear and make a formal protest.
The change of Downey avenues
name is part of Mr.. Dromgold's s
dream for the aggrandizement of the
First ward. The council has appropri-
ated over 100000 just to begin the
work on the Buena Vista street VIA
duct, and the city engineer is preparing
plans and specifications Dromgold
now would have Fort street, Buena
Vista and Downey avenue all included
in North Broadway.
As a matter of fact, there is no North
Broadway now. That portion of the
street north of First, running into the
tunnel and Familiarity known as North
Broadway, is in truth Fort street. 1t
was originally called by that appella-
tion. and the name never has been
formally changed. BY way of the tun~
mel Fort street connects with Buena
Vista, and the bridge will connect Bue-
ma Vista and Downey avenue. Thus,
says Mr.. Dromgold, Downey is logic
ally North Broadway. Tacking this
tail on to Broadway will make the
street between five and six miles long,
in place of the few blocks 1t now
covers.
Dromgold answers the sentimental
protestants by saying that the name
Buena Vista would be preserved by a
block of the street that runs south
from the northern entrance of the tun-
mel to California street, and the name
of Governor Downey by a block of
Downey avenue extending from the
bridge to the river.

OCEAN-LAND JOINT RATE
"EXEMPT FROM THE LAW
San Francisco Attorney Raises Novel
Point in Demurrer of Pacific Mall
and Southern Pacific
Companies

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 24.-That a
joint rate between an ocean carrier
and a railroad could not be "legaP
rate-therefore could be no violation of
law-was the point raised today by
Peter F. Dunno in the federal district
court In the case of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and the Southern
Pacific railroad, indicted on 116 counts
of having violated the interstate COM
merce laws.
The Southern Pacific and the Pacific
Mail, both belonging to the Hartman
system, were charged with carrying
mating from Kobe, Japan, to Chicago
and Columbus. Ohio, at less than the
published tariff rates.
In arguing a demurrer to the indict-
ments Attorney Dunno, on behalf of
the defense, contended that an ocean
carrier engaged in foreign trade was
not amenable to the regulations OF the
Interstate commerce commission, and
that the commission had no jurisdiction
over a joint rate made by steamship
company and a railroad on foreign
traffic.
United States Attorney Devlin will
reply for the government next Wednes-
daV
