Dandy Policemen in TMr New Dniforms. A CAPTAIN AT THE EEAD OF A FARAfiX, The State Secret About the vjadfone. of the Chief Tha Helmet of Patrolman. Seven buttons are for ornament One button is for show. Tbe regulation uniform for the pa- trolmen of the police force, devised by Chief of Police differs bus, little from the uniform now worn, save-in the head dress.

The patrolmen will wear a helmet instead of the Alpine hat now worn. The uniforms of the Chief of Pnlicer- and tha two Captains of Police will be more imposing than the uniforms of the patrelmen, but will be worn only on puouo paraaes ana oiner occasions ot. ShOW. Whether or not CHset Tompkins wilt' procure an uniform is a grave state secret; but anv one who knows the Chief knows that if he deems that his duty requires him to have, and on special occasions to wear his uniform, he nave one exactly according to thejegu- -lation, and will wear it with grace and- -dignity. i The uniforms of the Chief and the- two captains will be built of blue The coat will be double breasted and' with velvet collar.

A double row of brass buttons will decorate the breast, and the Alpine hat will be encircled by cord. Upon the front of the Alpine hat will be the title of the officer, either or "captain" in: a golden wreath. The belt and long club, with plaited cord and tassels, completes tbe fulb dress uniform of Chief or captain. As Captain Wilson will appear when head- Captain Wilson on pmrade. ing a procession on Memorial Day, the nlelike picture indicates.

The uniform of the patrolmen is exactly the same as the one now in save that the collar Is of tbe same material as the remainder of the coat, instead of velvet, the buttons bear the letters instead ot the single letter and tub helmet is substituted. Each officer is required to procure a. regulation The top button of the coat only will be buttoned when the officer is on regular duty. To button all of the eight buttons would make a better appearance, but when an officer's coat is buttoned he cannot draw his club or pistol or-handcuffs with that celerity sometimes necessary. In San Francisco the Police Commissioners once made an order requiring officers to button tbe coats elosely.

The order was rescinded in a very few days, because several offi cers were battered by drunken men and. roughs before thev could, open their coats and reach their clubs.

ABerlew of the Tote 'tfce Presidential and the Municipal Klee-tlona--A Comparison The series of interviews published in Tax Tbibchi yesterday show how strong is the feeling provoked by the attempt to ostracise from the Republican party the men who took part in the Citizens Other inter views are gives today. There is no donbt that plans were laid to ezctnde all who voted the Citizens'- ticket from participation In the primaries and conventions of the Re publican party next year. Of course any such plan would be fatal to the success of the party in this county will clearly; appear by considering and comparing 'the figures of rote rat the Presidential election and those of the municipal election. Thus the vote for the Re publican Presidential electors in this city hut fall was 5105 arid for the Dem Oct tic electors 3081," a majority of 2024.

At the municipal election hut March the vote for the-Citizens' ticket, headed by Glascock, was 5148 and for the Republican ticket, he aded by Ames, 2131, a majority ot 3017. The vote for Harrison 5105, The vote for Ames 2131. The difference That means that about 1500 Bepubli cans for the Citizens' ticket-These men it is now proposed to drive out of theprtyrvj G. Buswell It looks as if Ames and Gage had the bulge on the others and they can't help themselves. Of couise I am 4u favor of harmony in the party, and an equal distribution or patronage is the only way to secure it.

Of course Mr. Ames can play the pa of a Tweed it ne wisnea. acob Greenhbod I am not in favor oi giving tne bolters anything, not a pin, not an inch, nothing. I Vm in favor of harmony, burl am not in favor ot giving tnem ant patronage. They'll come back to the party anyway, and will be glad to come back.

-1 don't believe in giving them, a smell. We stayed with the ship last spring and it sunk. and those deserted dont deserve any thing now. W.J. Bowman I dont consider that person who west oft with the citizens' movement last spring should be kept out of the party Simply because some the party did not like the way in which the party tactics were camea on, ana because cney reiusea to recognize those acts as Republican is no reasoa why they are any the less Republican.

It is the other acts that were on Republican and which should be condemoed. In the Interests of harmony in the party there should be a fair and equal distribution of whatever patronage is to be delivered. J. H. Smith of the Second ward I was not aware that there any at tempt being made to control the political appointments, and 1 don't think that there is anything in it R.

C. at kill read the article re- erred to. and it surprised more than -1 can tell. -1 knew nothing about such an action on the part of any one, and' I do not think that any attempt was made to control the political patronage of the party. I have signed perhaps a vmb'w aw Hundred peuuons lor positions in tne Mint, Custom House.and other places, and on these petitions were the names of many of the gentlemen whose names appeared as attending that meeting.

I do not 'think that the question of the endorsers of a man ever came up, and as for any taction that he might belong to I know nothing of it. I told ad who came to me that It was like a lottery. (They might win and they migbt not. There "were ten aDDlicants for each place, and it would all depend upon the amount of influence that he could bring to bear upon the admlnisire tion, -and "the persistency with which he and mends urged his claimsrf or there were others as com- petent and with iust as good claims. I consider that the meeting was very uncalled for.

I know of no factional differences now. and it was like throwing firebrands and attempting to disrupt the party. It was like trxing to stir up the old feeling and bring out the old fight It is true that at the last city election I staved- bv the Republican party. There were some who left it and went over to the Democrats. They may have had a reason, but I could net see it The result was bad and I was very sorry over it 1 did not think that there was anv factional feeling left now; but that meeting looked like an attempt to bring it up again.

It was the fortune ot political warfare. -1 had talk the other; day with a gentleman who was invited to and attended that He told me that he received an invitation. It said ootlung on it about the character of the meeting. He attended, and there beard some very surprising tnings. They wanted to put him on the com mittee that was to wait upon Senator Stanford and congressman McKenna.

Then he told them that he did not approve of the object of the meeting ana he would not serve on the committee. lie asked them if he was to go to Sena tor Stanford and tell him that he represented a faction of the -Republican rartv of Alameda county, and if they did not ret some patronage that thev would disrupt the He did not eonsider that a Republican should do that sort of I consider the meet ing nnneoesaarr and sarDriSine.

One of the best arguments with which to answer utilitarians who are con stantly attacking colleges and college education is the prosperity, material and social, of those men who have de-' voted some of the best years of their lives in gaining; an education.

I never hated worse to do anything in my life than I did to leave that convention, but I felt that staying there would sacrifice my honor. I consider re? self as rood a Republican as anybody, and if Ames and his colleagues, as has been said, threaten to prevent those men from voting at the primaries who voted the Citizens ticket, they will find that they are antagonizing the best part of the party and a majority of the voters besides." Mr.

However. I think that this is worse than absurd, and it looks as if 1 seme Mephlstopheles. in the uemoeratic party was trying to resurrectdead issues in; the Republican ranks so as to strike up discord among tbe Republicans: and again throw the city. and perhaps the county as well, into the bends of itbe Democratic party. 4 This furor cannot accomplish any good.

BT TIL1CGKAFH. Interview With JutiM fax aad O. B. TTOllama. Sax FSAXCisco, July 19.

A corres- pondent cf Tax Txibcsx interviewed Justice Ci- N. Fox and Ceorss EL. Wlillisss i i Francisco today and senIiCer -raphes follows: I A TRIP TO EUROPE." Attorney Chapman Is Looking for the Baxom Mary Beery. "I guess we will have to put a detective on her track," remarked Attorney M. C.

Chapman this morning, referring to Mrs. Mary. Neery, formerly Mrs. Godfrey, and once a client ot Mr. Chapman.

"You see," said the counsel, "1 have a suit pending against her to recoyer my fee or acting as counsel in her divorce esse. I must say, though, that she was very kind and considerate in paying off the mortgage on some property in this city valued at $5000 before 1 levied; an attachment on tbe property. She can't get away from the attachment even if we can't find her tn order to get a service of summons. I am in no hurry. I can wait You see, the lady has been making arrangements to take trip to Europe bat I guess this little suit will cause her to postpone the trip for a time.

Now she sold that property in San Francisco for $30,000 when she could, have easily received $40,000 for the land. But it is all right She can travel in Europe if she wants, but she will have to pay my fee, M. C. Chapman is not working for glory." AFTER THE BRIDE. i i a.

Mrs. Josephine Boyer Gives tbe Constable a Lively Chasa. Constable Kesler gave a sickly smile as he stepped into bis office this morning, and remarked: "Weli, I've been down there again." "What success?" asked his colleague, Constable Page? "The same as usual. She has gone down town," replied Kesler. inese remarks were applied to Mrs.

Josephine Boyer, formerly Mm. Green. About a month ago her daughter, Mrs. Mary Donovon, brought suit against her in the Superior Court to recover the possession of a piano which she claims was made a present to her from her father, the. late Dr.

Green. Since that time Constable Kesler has tried every possible device in order to catch a gfimpse of the lady, so that he might serve the summons in the case, but he has utterly failed to make a showing. However, he is still on the hunt and wi'l pursue tbe lady until he can serve the summons. Mrs. Boyer has returned from her summer vacation, and yesterday Mr.

Kesler made a visit to the house as asuai. lie was informed that the laaynaa gone up town. Kesler says that is an old story. He proposes to Bona a man to tne noose and have bim camp there until Mrs. Boyer puts in an apliearance.

ELECTEIC ROADS. The Nucleus of a Great Electric System Formed. Some conclusion was reached this morning at the meeting of those inter ested in the electrical road to Berkeley. It was decided to incorporate early next week under the name of the Oakland and Berkeley Rapid Transit Company, whose object is to build and operate an electric road betwen Oakland and Berkeley. The directors are: r.

K. Bhattuck, A. J. Snyder, A. T.

Eastland, J. W. Coleman. J. E.

McElrath. James Gamble, V. D. Moody, George W. Mo- near, jamee Mcuee, ixuiav uottanaii, and A.

F. Porter. The officers are: President, F. Bhattuck, and. Treas urer, V.

D. Moody. F. K. Bhattuck says that if there is no trouble in obtaining the franchise that the road can be built and in opera tion inside of a year, and oerbaoa in six months.

The road will be operated from two wires overhead which will in no way. obstruct the street The Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company has offered to supply the electricty from their works at the foot of Jefferson, street, which would save the erection of an engine nouse. The estimated cost per mile and the length five miles. This road will absorb the Berkeley. Univer sity, and ferries road in Berkeley, which holds valuable franchises, but which is as yet un constructed.

This is but tne nucleus oi a system of electric road to run in every quarter of Oakland and the surrounding country. No attempt has yet been made to subscribe stock, but the directors alone could build the road. KLISE'S CRUELTY. A Beeoneillatlon Which Was of Little i Benefit Marie C. Kline, the owner of the Four Mile House on the Ban Leandro road, has commenced suit in the Super tor Court to obtain a divorce from Kline on the grounds of cruelty and intemperance.
