An Oakland father of a young girl, or rather young lady, for she wears long skirts and disdains flirtations with young men who do not wear mustaches, recently hd occasion to be yery angry at hi3 offspring. She had discovered that she ws not color bllnd.and conceiving this nega- J. tivequalificaliontobethe only one which painters possess, she had prevailed upon her parents to allow her to join a painting class. This class met in the studio of Frank Yates, in the building formerly occupied by the Morse photographic gallery. It was the discovery of a "What Is It" in his daughter's portifolio of sketches that aroused the Indignation of the Oakland citizen.

No one having seen what this object looked like, it Is of course impossible to describe it. It Is not, however, Impossible to tell tbe cons quences. 1 be re was angry father on the following morning demanding admission to the Yates' studio, with the result that a living and moving scene was causnd which might be called a female painting class alarmed. The angry Oaklander, who threatened to kick in the panel3 unless admitted, certainly gave tbem good grounds Lv alarm, for had he carried out the threats at mat mo ment he would have seen' a nude man, whoa moment before was pos- ins as "Adam 13.. fore the Fall" making frantic endeavors to crawl a di goods box which had served him as a pedestal while ho posed as a molel for the young ladies.

The model was not particularly handsome, bnt he was greatly scared; so much that he paid no attention to. Mr. Yates' angry orders that he. make a hasty toilet to look the model of a classic Greek. lie merely seized the cotton sheet with which the artist tried to drape his limbs, and renewed his endeavors to crawl under the box.

The class of ladies meanwhile stood with chattering teeth, all trying to veil their faces with the crayoQ drawing of the nude model. Two of the moreself-po-sessed at la3t had the presence of mind to throw the model hi3 most indispensable garment, intp which he slipped as a streak of lightning flie3 into an Iowa farmer's hay barn. This accomplished, the irate Oak-lander was admitted, but during the delay a a umber of scenes had been 31 arrange! tuat the evidences of the nature of the etudies carried on were no longer apparent. It is said that there was an animated debate forborne and then the Oaklander deputed for the new city hall to listen to the tcs imotly in the Sharon ca e. noon and evening.

What Ha lleen Accomplished -lo-mnrrow Ends all but Three ol Them. This afternoon the trial of Joseph Githens, whose case Is credited with causing the agitation, in the way of remonstrance'; at least by a great many, comes up. Schnurr Ilaner were on this foienoon; McHwalne Harris oome up to-morrow, with 1 Morel in the af ternoo i.

This lea only three cases to be tried next week of which Charley Bader is the only one in this city. Yesterday K)rves' application was refused; so was G. H. Schne.der's; and George Balling's was granted. The result of the campaign so far as saloons in this city are concerned may be briefly stated as follows: There were sixteen applications for license to soil in this city.

Remonstrance were filed in nearly all of them; and licenses were refused in tbe following cases: Lichtenfels. Q. H. Sohneider. lingo Marshall.

G. W. Eorres. While licenses were granted in the following cases: Frank Macke. Fred Besselman.

Al Capen. Tip Taylor. Ben Moorman. 1 Paul Meyer. J08.W1&MH.

Geo. Klein. 0o. Balliig. Henry Ilaner.

H. H.Roit. This leaves the number of saloons in the city about the same as befo-e, and we can not say that the class of salopns has been improved in the lewsr. Some of the saloonista who were refused were among our most careful ones, and we be'ieve would have been as fit to run saloon? and would have made them just as re-spectacle as some of those who were granted them.

Charged With Fell Dead Eaton, June 13-Sheriff Corwin arrested Jo'inO Goodpaster la3t this county on an indictment found against him six years ago on a charge of burglary and larceny, and brought him here and placed him in jail. The offense which he is charged was committed six years ago, about three miles north-west of here, on the smoke-house of a farmer by the name of Linn wa'n. The night one of the burglars, by the name of Riely Stone, received a wound in his arm and was afterward arrested, and after remaining in jail here for several months was liberated and died with consumption a few days afterward. Harrison Stone, his brother, was pursued by officers In Indiana, and was shot and died in a few hours. The case at the time created quite a sensation.

Meantime little boys should learn from this to-be careful about blowing up lighted tire-crackers. little ease to make it sweet, ended last night, and a young girl who only -quired riches to have me her beautiful took the last sad step in a life of hard work. It seems strange that in a country so free as this and sowed croferned that even those who work hard and long can find not enough to make life worth the vet such cases as the suicide of Emma Jester last evening tend to stow that even here life when com bined with an eternal struggle against poverty and temptation is hardly worth the living, to those who find it out. There have been waiting at the tables at the Huntington for some time two sisters named Emma and Amanda Jester, two very pretty srirls, great favorites among the gues's, and their associates, and bearir.g an excellent reputation Emma was 22 years of age, the other, some 3 ears younger.

Emma was a slight -built girl with light com plexion, dark eyes with black lashes and long black hair which she wore in curls. She always dressed in good taste and often appeared on the street in white, the two sisiers being nearly always together. Last Light she went home as usual, and the balance of the story as we give it we got from her mother and sister. Her mother is a widow livirg over John Paxson's meat market on the avenue. For some weeks Emma has been in bad health, and about two weeks ago complained of cramps in her stomacb.

giving her such pain that she could not sleep. She spoke then of taking morphine in hope of get- Ing ease, but ber mother talked her out of the notioD. Night before last she occupied the bed with her mother, ho was ill, but did not sleep much, for pain. In the morn ing her mother advised her not to go to work that day as she was so ill. but she did go.

When the girls home he, comp'ained considerably and finally put on her bat and left the r3om, returning' in a few mo ments. Soon after she went to the room occupied by the two girls. Her sister going in soon after found a glass of water ha'f emptied and an emntv paper hbelled morphine. This was about 850. She asked her if she had taken the drug and she said she had and that she had taken ttn cents worth.

This did not appear to alarm the hers, and when Amanda went to bed soon after Emma was still awakft. At about ten they were awakened by her heavy breathing and found it impossible to awake her. Physicians were sent for, but much delay was experienced in getting one, several called on being out. Finally Drs. Ilowells and Jay were secured, but came too the girl dying at about 1 o'clock.

Mrs. Jester says the girl had never taken morphine to her knowledge, and she Is positive she it only to ease her pain and make it possible to get to sleep. A peculiar remark, however, would seem to indicate otherwise. When the sister came to gototwd, Emma asked "Are you going to sleep with me?" She said she was and asked why she Inquired. Emma replied "Well, you may if you want to." The morphine was procured at i.
