STORY FROM BERKELEY ABODE AT VENICE. CALIFOI NLA. VENICE. On the Midway at Venice Wednesday night there was a tear in the voice of the counterfeit Kiki, and the husky spieler's song was a sigh. The Plaisance wore a funereal air despite the seeming gaiety, and as the Doge and his man Friday with measured tread strode through the place, the song he chanted was sad and solemn.

Fitfully the lights from Cairo's minarets and turrets cast their ghostly shadows in with the conditions of impending change. The day had witnessed ohe descent of the constabulary upon one of the Midway provinces and the lately dismantled Mirror Maze fell under the ban of the law. It bad been packed for shipment to Jamestown, but a lumber claim of Montgomery Mullln against Ferdinand Akoun Is holding it 'back to secure payment on a bill of $317. The deputy is on guard at the business office of the Venice Concession Co. His attachment covers the books.

office furniture, safe and contents. The latter total 2 cents. The attachment was brought by the Abbot Kinney Co. to secure payment on a note of $1,500, alleged to be due from the Venice Concession Co. and the Ooludie Construction Co EXPERIENCES OF A PLAYWRIGHT'S WIFE.

Mrs. Frank Pixley, wife of the libretist, who has been visiting in Los Angeles, is a native of Canada and still clings to much of the vernacular- of her mother tongue. Sauntering Into a Broadway dry goods store the other afternoon, she 'desired to go to the second floor. "Will you kindly tell me where the lift Is?" she inquired of a brusque floor walker. "Sure.

Miss," said he, with a majestic wave of the hand, "the lift Is over there and the roight is opposite." Frank Pixley has ever said that his wife Is responsible for his "pennings of lyric and Upon their recent ireturn from Japan, where Mr. Pixley has gath ered material for a new play, Mrs. Pixley attempted to cross Market San Francisco, while viewing the fire ruins.

away and ran back to the 'iWhat's the matter; don't you ever take any chances?" asked the copper gruffly. "Sure I do; I'm married," said Mrs. Pixley as she started bravely forth again. WAVE OF TN CHINA. WASHINGTON.

Marked evidence of the reform which is sweeping China can be seen in a recommendation of commissioners named by the Government to revise the code governing Chinese legal procedure which was recently submitted to Empress Dowager and Em peror for their consideration. Two revolutionary changes in the legal procedure of 'China are sug gested. These are the right of trial by jury and the employment of attorneys for the defense of criminals. Never in the history of China has the practice of law been recognized as a reputable profession. The study of law has been frowned upon from time limimemorial and only recently have attorneys been permitted to argue cases in courts, and this permission has been limited to courts in coas.t cities, where foreigners reside.

Heretofore a class of scribes versed In legal phraseology has been authorized to draw up petitions and other legal documents, but these men have not been lawyers in the broader sense. DEATH MAY CHEAT aVUvOWS. SACRAMENTO. The opinion 'is freely expressed by visitors to Fol-som prison that AdolDh Weber, the Auburn murderer, will not live to ascend the scaffold Septembei 12. His condition is that of a man who is fast wasting away.

Although it was given out by the officials that he stood the journey well from Auburn, as a matter of fact he seemed more dead than alive when he reached the prison. He totters about the condemned cell than walks. stomach will receive no food except milk, and his system refuses to assimilate even that. In consequence there is a constant drain on his vitality, and his weight Is no more than 100 pounds. The belief is general at Folsom that Weber will die a natural death before the date of execution.

M. and Mrs. Milton Pray (Mr. Pray being formerly of Santa Cruz), will give up their house in Berkeley in a few day and depart for Shasta Springs. They have recently purchased a pretty site in Piedmont and expect to build so that they can oc-cuny their new residence before the winter season in.

DHATn OF MRS. KINKEAD. Mrs. Cordelia Kinkead, a sister of A. Wrhltefleld of Boulder Creek, liied on Saturday morning at Hanly'g sanitarium.

She was a native of New York and 68 years of age. THE INSIDE The activity of the temperance reformers has driven the more responsible saloon men to what may be called moral defensive tactics. A telegraphic news item from Lacrosse a short time ago said that saloonkeepers from all the leading cities of Wisconsin were organizing there for the express purpose of protecting their interests from the State anti-saloon league. Among other actions, resolutions were adopted against the sale of Intoxicating liquor to minors, also urging the elimination of rowdyism from saloons. This was in.

part an echo of the action previously taken by the National iLlquor Dealers' association at Louisville in resolving that "the saloon and cafe should be so conducted that men would not hesitate to visit them accompanied by their wives and The assembly also made this declaration of principles: "We, the delegates of this convention of the wine and spirit trade, desire to express our entire sympathy with the efforts that have teen put forth to exterminate the e.vils of intemperance, and our willingness to lend co-operation and There is no doubt that the saloon representatives have hit upon the most effective device possible to insure legal recognition and reasonable regulation of their business. The hard pressed police authorities In the various cities would no doubt welcome the sincere co-operation of the liquor men in reforming the flagrant abuses of the trafflc, an! in making the saloons orderly places of refreshment. One important step in this direction would be more care and discrimination in issuing licenses and approving bonds. Very often not sufficient attention Is given to the moral character of the applicant or to the financial responsibility of himself and his bondsmen. There should be an easily-enforced liability somewhere for injuries growing out of the traffic.

It will be found impossible to reform saloons conducted by unscrupulous men of criminal tendencies and associations. Such men can be driven out of the business through the co-operation of the wholesale dealers and the authorities. Minneapolis Tribune. SAUNAS TO STAND SALINAS. A letter from the secretary of the Santa Cruz Board of Trade was read, protesting against Salinas holding the Admission Day Celebration at the same time that Santa Cruz intended to hold a similar event.

It was decided that, gince Salinas had determined to hold a celebration before the Grand Parlor had fixed upon Santa Cruz as the point for the Native Sons' celebration, Salinas should "stand pat" in the premises. It was argued that Sa linas would draw the attendance to its celebration from, a different ter ritory than from Santa Cruz and that therefore there would be enough patronage for both. Salinas Index. CARNEGIE TO AID REDWOOD CITY. REDWOOD CITY.

a. F. Cooper, the president of the (board of trustees of the Redwood City Free Carnegie Library, received word from the donor of the institution to the effect that $6,000 has been allowed to repair the damage done to the building by the earthquake. The out of door girl, the athletic girl, he golf girl, the girl who swims, who rows, who sails and who autos is the belle of the summer resort her reign is a precarious one. IBelles are made apd deposed in a day at the summer resorts and a sun-burned nose, scorched cheeks, an air of dull, watery eyes and peeling hands are likely to dethrone any belle.

To be belle of a summer resort she must be an out of door girl fifteen hours a day and to remain the belle she must preserve her hair, her hands, her eyes, her complexion for while men fall in love with sun-kissed maids and adore beautiful faces tanned to rich russet color by winds and sun, there Is no record of a man falling in love with a girl whose nose was peeled and whose cheeks cracked, or whose hands look like those of a laborer. The belle of the summer resort la the outing girl and the season Is the season of all seasons for the girl who is good looking but not leautiful. It is her chance to shine, and if she 13 jolly and popular with her younger brothers and their friends, readv for any excursion of lark, and crafty enough to keep her complexion and her temper at all times she will remain the belle of the season and probably come home just In time to prepare her trousseau for an October wedding.

He replied that the delegates would be appointed by the county committee, which Is to meet in Native Sons hall this Saturday afterroon and as Porter is In undoubted control of the county committee it ma safely be predicted that this will be its decision and that the delegation from this county will be Porter bodmers. The Watsonvllle banker is imaklng an active fight for the Gubernatorial nomination and he Intends to go south shortly to promote his candidacy there. He feels sure of Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties and has strong promises of support from Los Angeles. iHe Is philosophic about it all, however, and, as he says, onlv one man can secure the prize. Someone has to lose, although he does not Intend to be the loser, if he can help it.

SOMEONE ASKS, WHY IS A BEACH? Does some one ask: vvny is a beach?" Bless you, Greybeard, any 6-year-old can enlighten you. It is for leap frog, for hop scotch, for mumblety quoits. Old Neptune has been employed for ages smoothing this floor, for he knew that it would be needed by little maidens who wish to jump rope with lengths of kelp, and that even children of a larger growth would find it useful as a race course down which -to sprint in miad haste close pursued by the other fellow and the jeers of one's friends.

Aim UU.

ttU Infinitum. Surely nowhere else on this round globe can there be found such opulence of young life as at the beach in mid-summer. Each hour Is crowded to the brim with all sorts of glorious fun, and yet the day is not half long enough. In spite of most strenuous endeavor, there is always something delightful that has to be postponed until tomorrow. They are so busy, these little people; busy, of course, with nothing In the world but being happy, each in his own way.

A POINT HE OVERIvOOKED. In a discussion of expensive healt'a resorts and watering places, MoVicker of Providence said the other day: "A friend of mine, a very stout fellow, went to Marienbad to get his weight reduced. He had heard great things of Marienbad, and hoped to lose fifty pounds or so with no inconvenience to himself. 'IBut he found the rates excessive ly high, and the regimen excessively severe, aud after an interview with the hotel physician, he said pettish ly: 'Spare diet, long walks I could have managed all that without com ing to tnis expensive 'Yes said the physician, 'but you forget the annoyance induced by our high prices. That of itself will go a long way toward reducing your GRANITE ROCK CO.

TO BUILD BIG AVA REHOUSE. SALINAS. Manager Wilson and Superintendent Sutton of the Granite Rock have been in town making preliminary arrangements for starting the construction of a mammoth concrete warehouse for the Spreckels Sugar Co. The structure, which is 580 feet by 78 feet and 25 feet in height, is the largest sugar warehouse in the world. It will be built of reinforced concrete with steel trusses and slate roof.

Construction work will start In a few days. OOAT MILK FOP. INVALIDS. PETALUMA. (Articles' of incorporation have been filed for the California Swiss Goat Colony, which Is incorporated for $100,000, divided into 100,000 shares, par value $1 each.

RIordan Chicaeo Fvnerr Sums Uo Some In-terosiin Data on the All-Important Question of Marriaire and Separation. CHICAGO. After separating 4 0 couples iu three weeks through the application of law, Judge VVillard McEijen of the Circuit Court summed up his impressions of the divorce Industry thus: "The age of 20 is a pivotal time in married life. The age of 40 is another time when divorces are likely. Church weddings produce but 5 per cent of the divorces.

Twenty women, or but 60 per cent, were church members. But eight men out at the forty principals In the divorce court, or 20 per cent, were cnurcn attendants. The majority of princl pals were in the neighborhood of 2 years or 40 years of age. "There should foe a law enacted to prevent the marriage of a woman twice divorced or a man twice di vorced. Persons twice divorced have manifested their unfitness fo matrimonial experience.

Two fail ures should count them out. There should 'be most stringent laws to prevent the remarriage of persons afflicted with certain ailments. "Lack of companionship is by far the greatest cause of divorce. All mony should be granted the wife whether guilty or guiltless. In prac.

tically every case. A woman who has lived with a man a number of years Is entitled to a pension. In all cases the man should be made to support his children. In the case of a young married couple without children the wife should be given alimony, as it will make a second marriage on the part of the husband a serious business consideration, will stimulate him to greater efforts and will make a reconciliation more likely. "In the case of men applying for divorces I have found in the great majority of cases the woman has be come a petty, ipurse-bearing tyrant "If a woman Is to be kept a wom an, If she Is to be kept out of men's occupations, he must support her.

The woman grows to blame the hus band for the runaway Don't Knock If there is a chance to boom business, boom it. Don't be a knocker, Don't pull a long face and get a sour stomach. Hope a bit. Get a smile on you. Hold up your head.

Take hold with both hands. Then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop your tomahawk. Hide your little hammer.

Get out of the anvil chorus. iWhen a stranger drops in tell him this Is the greatest town on earth. You won't lie much at that. Don't get mulish. Don' roast.

Be jolly. Get popular. It's dead easy. Help yourself along and push your friend with you. Soon you'll have a whole procession.

(Be a good fellow. No man ever helped himself by knocking other people down. No man ever got rich trying to make people believe that he was the only good man on earth. You can't climb the ladder of fame by treading on other people's corns. They're their corns, not yours.

And they're tender. Keep off the corns. All men are not alike. Once in a while you may find one who is very much alike. You're not the only shirt in the wash.

If you don't like their style, leave them alone. If they were just like you you'd probably feel sorry for them. Don't knock. You'll get used to it. There's no end of fun in minding your own business.

If you haven't any business of your own to mind, put on a nruzzle and keep out of the other fellow's. This will make other folks like you better. have others get stuck on you than to get stuck on yourself. Nobody stuck on a knocker. Don't be one.

Be good even if it makes you ever so lonesome. Humboldt Standard. DEFAUITINO TELLER IS SEEN IN DENVER. ST. LOUIS.

BERKELEY YOUTHS HELD UP y'CAJt BROOKDALE. BERKELEY. Albert Rathbone, son of a Berkeley minister, has encountered a more exciting adventure down by Santa Cruz than he had dreamed could be in store for a simple High School lad. Intent upon a summer vacation, he has met a real highwayman. The robber relieved Albert and a companion of all their monev A telegram to Rev.

L. D. Rath-bone, minister of the North Berkeley Congregational Church, informed him of his son's plight and some of the facts connected with the young man's experience with the bandit in the Santa Cruz mountains. "Seud coin to get home with," wired young Rathbone, and the money accordingly was sent to him at Brookdale. near Ben Lomond.

Albert Rathbone was accompanied to the mountains Roy Shuntleff, manager of the High School Olla Podrlda. The young men carried about $90 with them, and this was secured by the bandit. They en-rntim pred the hlahwayman In the forest near Brookdale. while returning from a tramp In the mountains. The robber was masked and did his work with the air and finish of a professional.

He did not remove the jewelry the young men wore, contenting himself with the cash. It was a simple case of "hands up, stand and deliver, right about face, march," with the ban lit issuing the orders and the Berkeley boys obeying the commands with all the precision of well trained military cadets. The Pension Habit Washington Gladden says there is nothing that has so pauperized the people of this country as the Civil War pensions, not that the soldiers who served in the army are all pensioners or that they ao not deserve their stipend, but the spectacle of so many men drawing money for apparently nothing, has affected their relatives, neighbors 'and acquaintances so that they are all eager to do likewise. N.o hotter evidence of that is wanted than the large number of pensioners added to the roll after that toy with Spain, already all but forgotten. The army was recruited by young men.

The casualties were so few that they hardly raised the percent- gage of deaths and accidents for the; year ioa, ana yei more man one-fourth of all the men enlisted are today drawing pensions. In the three months of April, May and June, 1901, nearly 46,000 mew pensioners were added to the roll, and there is no end in sight. There are about ten times as many Spanish war veterans today as there were men In Shatter's armv before Santiago. There are five Revolutionary pensioners now on the rolls, children of Revolutionary soldiers, though that war Is 130 years In the past, and there are 770 dependents left us from the war of 1812, though the last participant has been In the grave these many years. Our inheritance from the Mexican war Is approximately 12,000, two-thirds of whom are widows, though the peace treaty was signed ten.

years before President Roosevelt was born, and It Is estimated that twenty years hence, even If whe have no new war to add to the sum. there will still be half a million pensioners. Should no new claims be recognized after today the total cost of taking care of the army of dependents would foot up to twelve billion dollars before death claimed the last pensioner, all of which goes to Show that heggarv Is not repugnant to the American, provided It Is called by some more polite name. Town Talk. Some of the younger folk of Santa Cruz will no doubt be surprised to learn that the members of the Iota Alpha Sigma fraternity, who have been holding several little social affairs at the beach, have disbanded.

The officers elected recently were: President. Joseph Ghlrardelli, Oakland; vice president, Chas. Buttlar, Oakland; secretary, Tom Moore, San Jose; treasurer, Frank Wilson, Santa Cruz, and eergeant-at-arms, George Huntington of Santa Cruz. At the time of disbanding a few days ago, I am told, there was $5.65 in the treasury, and this money WH-, son refuses to divide. He says that the members had no right to disband the society on such short notice, just because a few wanted to return home, and he guards the money for the society as a sacred trust until matters assume some definite form.

President Ghirardel-II, son of the chocolate maker, who has just returned to Oakland, is very sore over the matter. The society had a short, sweet, though sad and almost sickly career. It originated early this season In Santa Cruz, and it perished in the place of Its birth. 4 4 til I.
