Woman Says She Trailed Hus-
band and Affinity to Tryst

OAKLAND, Aug. 7.-Affinities making
violent love in the San Leandro grave
yard at night, an angry wife appear
ing like a ghost from among the
shadows of the tombstones, a surprised
and faithless husband recovering from
his agitation in time to thrash his
wife until she could hardly stagger
across the graves on her homeward
way-this forms the drama in which
Mrs. Mary Gonsalves played a leading
and humiliating part. according to the
story she told yesterday to Prosecuting
Attorney Hennessey. Mrs Gonsalves
asked for warrant for the arrest of
her husband, Andra Gonsalves, whom
she charges with deserving her for the
widow of wealthy fruit grower
Gonsalves and his wife We're married
five years ago at San Leandro, where
they resided in Castro street Ac-
cording TO Mrs. Gonsalves, three years
ago her husbands employer died. Con-
Nsalves was retained at the place as
gardener, and soon thereafter began
to pay marked attentions to the pretty
widow of the fruit grower. Then fol-
lowed moonlight meetings, open ad-
missions that he no longed loved Mrs.
Gonsalves, and repeated nightly alb
sences from his home. according TO Mrs
Gonsalves. who added that when she
demonstrated she was cruelty treated.
The graveyard incident occurred a
few nights ago, said Mrs. GonsaIyes.

COOPERATIVE WAVE is
SWEEPING IN BRITAIN
Recent Report Shows Move
ment Is Gaining Strength

A recent report of the central board
OF the Cooperative Societies of the
United Kingdom showed how far reach
ing the cooperative movement is in
Great Britain. At the close of 1908
l,56l cooperative societies were in ex-
1stence. This was only an increase of
one as compared with the previous year,
but the membership in 1909 aggre egated
2,5S5,293, being $4,000 more than in the
preceding year. The total share capital
was S166,122.669, being s4,335.974 more
than in 1903. The trade transactions
for 1909 reached a total of $3.50. 533,
being an Increase of $6,626,275 over
1908, and at the same time the profits
for the year We're s5S,45213O, which
was $1,374,66 more than in 1908.
The agricultural cooperative move
ment is stated to be making steady and
substantial progress. Surprise was ex-
pressed that little had been done by the
cooperative societies to secure for their
members the advantages of the small
holdings act, and it was urged that CO.
operative societies in districts where
agricultural land could be obtained
should make application under the
small holdings act for allotments.
An interesting feature is that be-
tween 400 and 500 of these cooperative
societies have building mortgage de-
partments, and up to this time about
$5O,0O0,000 has been spent in providing
members with houses. The loans from
the societies are repaid in manner
that is not burden upon the borrow
ers. In addition to loaning money to
members for building purposes the CO.
operative societies have built and re-
tanned in their own possession nearly
s,ao0 houses, costing about $9,246,350.
They have built and sold $500 houses
to their members, at a cost of $6.0s3,125.
The cooperative movement has at
tanned such proportions in Great Brit
ain that 1t can now be regarded as one
OF the permanent features or institu-
t1ons of the country. A cooperative
store is found everywhere throughout
the length and breadth of the country
and is literally patronized by the work
ing people. They feel in a sense that
1T is their store and have a definite
pride in its success.
Through the manufacturing and
wholesale cooperative UNDERTAKINGS
large quantities of goods and produce
are handled. and the effort is exerted to
bring these ultimately to the private
consumer at a cost to him which will
only realize reasonable profit to the
societies

success, her voice proving equal to the
demands of this part

favorite. made his initial bow with the

fall from the dazzling eminence that

who cared for the old soldier joined in
a cheerup letter to let him know that

THIEF'S NOISINESS

Horace tells us somewhere that dis

Paris hooligan by this time no doubt,

poet, probably without knowing it. He
was present at the Inauguration of the

to himself by his frequent and vigors
Gus cries of "A bas les voleurs.'' One
way of suppressing his ardour was to
arrest him, and this the police did At
the police Office he was searched and

NIGHTINGALES PLACED IN
VIENNA MUNICIPAL PARK

The geological society of Vienna has
put into the municipal park 80 night
ingales. Most of the birds have re-
manned in the park, but few of them
have chosen other gardens in the CITY.
The nightingale in China, called the
bird of the sun, is pretty little crea-
ture. The plumage is of deep olive
with some yellow and red spots. The
peak is OF purple and the eyes are
large. Altogether the little alien is
not an undesirable; he is said to be
very sociable He is not likely, how
ever, to supplant his little European
brother in the affections of the Vien-
nese. He lacks the~tender modulations
of the western species.
