Building i'm Alameda

ALAMEDA, Aug. 5.-Building con-
tinues to improve, according to the rec
ords of the building inspector. Charles
S. Neal, an extensive owner of local
realty, is having a store building con-
structed at High street and Central
avenue. 1t is probable that a waiting
room for passengers of the Oakland
traction company will be located in the
building.
The business block being erected for
Charles c. Boynton at Lincoln avenue
and Grand street is nearing completion.
The building is designed for stores and
flats.
The realty agents say that there has
been an increase this week in the de-
mand for houses to rent. Nearly all OF
the Alamedans who were in the coun-
try during the school vacation have re-
turned and the result is thaa there are
fewer furnished houses to rent.
Renters Seek Houses
BERKELEY, Aug. 5.-There is a
strong renting demand at the present
time which dealers declare will be con-
slant until after the opening of
the schools and university. large
number of visitors are in the city, look
ing for permanent homes and for de-
sirable houses to rent. With a record
attendance at the university in pros
pect. the demand this year promises to
be greater than in previous years at
this time. Already the influx of return ,
ing students and entrants is reported
as large, although the university will
not open for two weeks.
The Zeta Psi fraternity secured a
building permit today for the erection
Of it's new $4,000 home in College ave-
nue., north of Bancroft way.
The structure will be one of num-
Der of new lodges to be built by Greek
letter societies.

Wedding Fees In New York.

Large wedding fees are rare even in
New York. Fees of $50 and 500 are
considered large. The $1,000 fee when
it makes its appearance usually goes
to the rector of a wealthy congrega-
ton who enjoys salary of $4,000 or
$4,000 a year. Larger fees are some
times given. The man of wealth. ac-
tuated by high regard for his pastor
and friend, occasionally gives his
check for $4,000 or $1,000 under the
guise of wedding Fee He wishes to
help the minister and knows the money
would not be accepted under any other
circumstances. Such gifts, it is need
less to say, are extremely rare. New
York has few clergymen whose mar
rage fees average 81 200 a year. The
pastor of a large Presbyterian church
on Broadway has estimated that his
fees amount annually to $1,000. These
are topnotch figures.-Christian Her

CAUGHT THE c0INER.
An Accident Spoiled an Ingenious
Counterfeit Passing Scheme.

A case which shows the ingenuity
used in passing counterfeit coin is the
following: A tailor. who also was
daughter who was some ten years old.
She was being taught to play the vio-
lin. and twice week she went to have
music lesson at a house about mile
distant Once a week the innocent
little thing carried besides her violin
case and violin package cunningly
secreted in the false bottom Of the vio-
lin case, which contained some twenty
or more pieces OF counterfeit coin.
The music master. rogue who was
in the know. found no difficulty in abb
stracting the package unnoticed by the
child and in his turn passed it on to
woman fence" who again gave it to
a male friend, who delivered it safely
to the ''utterer," woman again. at a
street corner, the package being this
time concealed in the false bottom of
a canary cage. Thus It passed through
six hands, and besides the man him.
self only the music master knew who
manufactured the coin.
The tailor was caught by an acct
dent. His little girl let the violin case
fall In the street. the bottom Of the
case was smashed. and all the coins.
done up in tissue paper, fell into the
street. The child, much mystified.
opened one OF the little packages. and
the glitter caught a policeman's eye.
This mishap led to the instant arrest
OF the tailor. who confessed. hoping
for light sentence, hope which was
not realized. Among the coiner's
stock in trade were discovered two
works on chemistry. fourteen molds,
two batteries. plaster of paris. two la
dies. melting pot. crucibles and a

1856, died April Is, 1853, was a vice
president of the United States who
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath Of Office on foreign
SOIL, something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people OF this coun-
try King was an invalid. but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed SO rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4. congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas, Cuba. to swear him in
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath of
office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
dot, and on the day appointed, at a
plantation on one of the highest hills
IN the vi~iaity Of Matanzas, Mr.. King
was made vice president of the United
States amid the solemn ''Vaya vol con
Dios' God will be with you) of the
creoles who had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw-
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
II, 1858, and died the following day.

i Simple Renedy That Keeps Them
From Turning Black
a young woman who was going to q
debutante dinner the next evening
bruised three Of the finger nails OF her
right hand badly by catching them in
door. Visions Of an unsightly hand,
possibly one in a sling, drove her to
the telephcne to get in touch with her
physician.
His advice was: Get yourself a
comfortable chair and an interesting
book, set yourself by a stationary
washstand. in such a way that the
fingers can be held upright under the
faucet. then turn on the cold water
and let it run over the bruised fingers
Tor at least three quarters of an hour,
preferably longer.
II the water gets too cold or chills
you during that time turn it of for a
rev minutes, but never once let the
hand get out Of the upright position
SO the blood can run into the bruised
finger and blacken.'
The maiden's hand was unmarried
for her dinner, and she was SO de-
lighted with the remedy she told it
Tor the benefit Of the guests, one at
least OF whom has tried this cure re-
peatedly since, being inclined to awk-
wardness and badly bruised fingers.
No matter how bad the hurt. unless
the finger is mashed the throbbing
will not be followed with weeks of
blackened nails.-Exchange.

a Queer Ceremony.

A queer ceremony is performed every
year on the Sth day of September in
the Vale Maggie, Italy. The region
abounds in vipers. The celebrants
form into weird procession, each per
son-man, woman and child-carrying
a huge figure of a snake stuffed with
cotton. As they pass along they weep
and lament, believing that by the ex-
piatory ceremony they will render
themselves proof against snake bites
during the grape gathering.
