even for sweet charity and after considerable hard work to tart the phantasma the projectors ha dropped the matter This was done not without some disappointment however for there were at least a dozen Oakland belles present at the meeting yesterday when the announcement was made by Mrs McBean which dashed their hopes of being able to pose before the public as the hypnotized victim of Svengall On Friday last Mrs McBean called a meeting at the parlors of the Congregational Church to inaugurate the phan tasma show that Alameda society was then holding Mrs McBean had been to Alameda and was enthusiastic on the subject he thought itwould be just the thing for Oakland as the last charitable performance Cradtlle Songs of Nations had not netted as much as the ladies had anticipated At that meeting only twenty young ladies were present and as seventy five were needed the matter was postponed until yesterday when Mrs McRean thought there would surely be an outpouring of youth and loveliness But she was disappointed Oakland belles were coy and only would be Trilbys appeared As there would have been room for but ne Trilby the other enty four pieces of living statuary must needs go unrepresented and this Mrs McBean thought would never do at all Plainly there were too many Trilbys Every 1 no of the twelve lovely girls present yesterday was just dying to pose in the haracier madp famous by Pu Maurier raeh on had a perfect little foot and a figure iik Junos and would have made an inresting study behind the footlights The other girls did not materialize and Mrs Mr Bean foncl tided that a show of Trilbys alne would grw monotonous she pleasantly told the expectant young ladies that there would be no rhantasma There was despondency painted on very face and little feet tapped the floor with impatience Then Mrs MHan trid to tell a hu morus litie incident about young voiran coming her house and asking to re posed as Trilby She showed ir foot ard it was a very pretty one I assure you added Mrs McBean Then Mrs William Pharon explained to the disappointed ladies that the matter would rot go in because of great expense that would be attached to the enu rtanmcnt and the risks of failure because of ih absence at watering places of so many nf Oakland society people Then the mo ting adjourned and a dozn unpublished Trilbys tripped out on the sidewalk and walked

the dead man He thought of an uncle a barber on Seventh street and he called on him to break the news of his nephews death He told the story in a sad way and Mr Stultz looked at him with pity and surprise This cannot be he said for my nephew is alive and well I hope at least he was when he ate dinner with me last night and as this man was killed in the morning why of course it cannot be he

They get fresh bread every day all the hard bread th want potatoes canned meats mrats vegetables and fruit it may seem it costs less to fetd tt on the Sokoto than it costs to feed the i row on any
