Miss Williams declared that lack of
courage on the part Of the mother to
talk to her daughter often made the
girl lose confidence in her parent, and
go elsewhere for advice. sometimes
choosing the right sort of a friend, and
often choosing the wrong sort.
The speaker also dwelt upon the ne
cessity for parents seeing things from
their childrens' standpoint, and to re-
frain from irritabilty n every case.
Her remarks were received with en-
thusiasm by the mothers present, and
it Is likely that some startling re-

THE TWO STARS DAILY CIRCULATION ATTALNS
AN AGGREGATE OF 1901.

In the exhibit of circulation of the Morning and Eve
ming STARS made in the published sworn statement by
the New York Audit Company, after a thorough examina-
ton of the books and accounts of the two papers, the total
net calculations fer city and country are given separately,
and in our comments on the exhibit only the figure of the
civ net circulation was given. The certificate of the New
York Audit Company shows that the total city and country
net paid daily circulation, from June 1st to October IS was
$500 for THE MORNING STAR and 2A s24 for H
EVENING STAR, an aggregate average for the two
papers of 6o,353. These figures do not Include any but
actual daily cash sales and leave out an average of z741
copies daily, much of which goes into circulation. AS the
two calculations, Morning and Evening, have steadily and
materially increased daily since June 1st, the average figure
is greatly below the figure of daily calculations attained in
October, when it was 1892 for THE MORNING STAR
and a8, 600 for THE EVENING STAR, an aggregate for
the two of 72,oo1 copies daily.

ECCENTRIC WOMAN'S SON
DISPUTES HER SANITY

REDWOOD CITY, July 2.-The strug-
gle in the courts has fairly begun over
the property and estate of Mrs. Augusta
A. Titus, one of the most eccentric char
acters that the county seat has ever
known and who burst into notoriety a
short time before her death by keeping
the Sheriff's forces at bay more than q
day, finally being captured in the
onghold where she had intrenched
herself by strategy and without casual
ties.
For many years Mrs. Titus and her
husband owned business property ana
a residence in one Of the best locations
In Redwood City, and on the death of
Mr.. Titus the property reverted to his
wife. Some years ago the property was
decided by Mrs. Titus to her brother,
George L. Davis, wealthy cattleman
made his sister an allowance of $40 a
month and allowed her to remain in
possession of the home. He afterward
sold a portion of the property a short
time before the death of Mrs. Titus, and
when the new owners attempted to
take possession Mrs. Titus stood them
off with a gun and many threats for
landed her in the county Jail.
The present suit is brought by j. j.
Ortley, the administrator of the Titus
estate against the estate of Davis, but
is in reality an attempt on the part of
the. son of Mrs. Titus, Benjamin A.
Chew of Alviso, to recover the property

MAN WITH $4,000
LIVES BY BEGGING
Alameda Miser Trusts to
Bounty of Friends, Though
He Keeps Gold in Vault

ALAMEDA, July 2.-Decrepit in
be penniIess, it has been discovered
that j. r. Bachelor, a local character,
who for years has existed on scraps
that he gathered from the streets and
elsewhere, is worth $4,000. The greater
part of this amount consists of cash
deposited in banks land the balance is
in United States government bonds.
Bachelor was for more than 80 years
a member of the Odd Fellows, but
dropped out of the fraternity some
years ago. A few days ago a promi-
nent Odd Fellow observed the old miser
making signs which were used many
years ago by members of the order as
signals of distress. The brother of the
three links engaged Bachelor in con-
versation and. soon learned. something
regarding the old man and his financial
affairs.
Judge r. B. Tappan. who is himself
an Odd Fellow, was consulted, and as a
result Postmaster T. W. Leydecker,
also an Odd Fellow, was appointed as
Bachelder's guardian and his bond was
fixed at $4,000. Bachelor has refused
to tell much concerning his antece-
dents or his financial affairs. He is
evidently man of good education and
it is supposed that he came from a
prominent family.
1t was found that Bachelor, who has
always professed to be without money,
had safe deposit box in the Bank of
Alameda. An inspection of the box dis
closed five bank books, showing de-
posits amounting to $4,000 and United
States government bonds to the amount
of $1,000. Bachelors affectation for
poverty is supposed to be aggravated
by his weak mind. At times he is ra
uonal, but often he talks and acts in
an irresponsible manner.
1t has been his habit to wear the old
est clothes he could obtain and to spend
the greater part of his time sitting on
bench near the Citizens bank Bach

SCORES CORRUPTIO
IN STATE POLITICS
William R. Davis Pleads for
Square and Honest Govern
ment by Republicans

OAKLAND, July 2.-The efforts of
derlings to cast discredit upon the cam
paign that is being waged by the Lin
coin Roosevelt league. to rid the re-
publican party in California of cor
rupt corporation control was dwelt
upon by William r. Davis in an address
delivered tonight under the auspices
OF the Lincoln Roosevelt league in
Washington hall, East Twelfth street
and Sixth avenue, East Oakland.
Il have recently heard remarks from
certain persons, pluming themselves
upon being regulars" said the speaker.
II know that some of them are eX-
tremely regular. They are regulars in
drawing salaries from the city, county
or state. They are regulars in oppos
ing republicans who do not think as
they do. They are regulars in lighting
any movement inaugurated for the pur-
pose of accomplishing something that
would be of benefit to all the people
and not to the privileged few. They
are regulars in opposing Independent
men who think and act for themselves.
They are regulars in taking orders
from machine sources.
Since when has it become irregular
for any republican or any voter to eX-
press himself as he sees fit in speech
and to register his conviction at the
polls!
TT is being whispered about that the
Lincoln-Roosevelt republican league
was organized to disturb the republi-
can party in California and that it is to
be held responsible should election re-
suits not come up to the expectation
of some of those who call themselves
regulars.
The Lincoln Roosevelt league stands
for Taft and Sherman and the republi-
can party and will be found fighting
for these all the way and all the time.
1t will be well If as much can be said
Of the machine element.
Money and corporations have no po-
1itics. Wealth has no party. The time
has come In California when we should
know who is who in our household of
public servants. Every man elected to
serve the people should stand up and
be counted.
At the republican convention held in
Sacramento in May over one-half of the
delegates were not elected by the peo-
tie. They were named and sent there
by county committees. Many of the
they were sent. ALI that they were
sure of was that they were sent. Many
Of them were highly intelligent men,
but were obiiyious as to what they
were to do. Men acting under such a
handicap may personally be square and
honest, but are dangerous to a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people"

LOSSES ON PATENT
LEAD TO SUICIDE

BERKELEY, July 2.-Temporarily
crazed over financial losses believed to
be the result of trying to put before
the public his patented ink well after
he had given up his lucrative fuel and
produce business in Oakland a year
ago, Ernest j. Osgood committed sui
eide today by sending a revolver bullet
crashing through his brain in the bed
room Of his home at 33o6 College ave-
nue.. The shot penetrated the right
temple and nearly tore away the top
Of his head.
Osgood's wife and son rushed into
the bedroom on hearing the pistol shot,
but life was extinct, although DR.. j. E.
Shafer worked over the body for an
hour. Mrs. Osgood was prostrated.
The tragedy followed the' rejoicing
OF the family last night when Clifford,
Osgood's 13 year old son, returned home
from a hospital, having been cured Of
a serious hip trouble. Osgood retired
to his room in the best of spirits and
no intimation of his condition of mind
was given the family until o'clock
this morning, when they were awak-
ened by the pistol shot and found Os-
good dead.
He was we'll known in Oakland,
where he had lived for 20 years. He
was high in the Masonic order.
He was a native of Ohio about 4S
years of age and is survived by his
widow and three sons, Howard, Clifford
and Bryon. His mother lives in Oak
land. The funeral will be held from
the Masonic temple, Oakland, Monday
afternoon under the auspices of Oak
land lodge No. 1Ss of the Masonic order.
