Time was when there were not a few of them, and they flourished more or less successfully for many fears. But modern ways, change of customs, and above all, the multiplicity of railway lines, steam and electric, have nearly banished the road-houses which were once prominent as milestones along tho various best-traveled road of Alameda county.

But Wer-ren's house, though somewhat picturesque, had small reputation abroad, apart from tho notoriety attaching to Its keepers in later years through the elopement' of Werren's wife with a young carpenter when she took along about $1000 ot the Werren's savings. There were, however, other wayside houses which were noted far and near for one reason or another. Beginning right here in Oakland wilenh the city was in its infancy, there was established ou the land now south of twelfth and cast Oak street, a resort with the imposing title of "Belle Vue du Lac; Rendezvous de Chasse." Of course with this na-mo It may bo readily Imagined that tho proprietor was a native of la belle France. His name was Blaise, and therefore the resort became known to a portion of its patrons? as "the house of blazes." M. Blaise himself was a dignified, elderly man, with a long, white imperial and curling mustaches.

He affected a gaily-colored and much decorated Jacket, hunting boots, and trousers of Parisian cut. M. Blaise's chauteau was surrounded by small oaks and and in the corner, of the grounds forty years ago he caused a flagstaff to be planted from which he took pride In floating to the breeze on "14 July" the tricolor. M. Blal3e On such occasions Invited whoever might be his guests to drink with him to the sentiment, "Down with the Bastlle." ALMOST A SCANDAL.

Often tho "rendezvous de chasse" rang with merriment far into the night In the olden days, parties of pleasure-seekers coming from San Francisco and other cities and towns of the State to pass away a few idle hours in what was then a suburban retreat, "far from the maddening crowd" the poet speaks of. M. Blaise usually had in his employ a chef who could satisfy the most ex acting palate, and hence epicures flocked there to enlov the dinners this I Avert Business Paralysis by Telegraphers.

Robert C.

If you are aj working girl do not say you have time for society. Society needs, you and you need society. It is desirable for the working girls and society women to meet each other at pink teas, where they can exchange Ideas and become acquainted with different modes or life. Why should society women snub, scorn and shun the working women and exclude them from their soclul functions? Why not let the working women assert themselves at clubs? The working women of today can enlighten society women, awaken their sympathy, and open, their eyes to the present conditions in the work-a-day wcrld. Society can.

be taught much by the working women, who are doing much for civilization. They are improving social conditions for and proving that women are no longer children. Where can you find more intelligence than among working women? Observe the various faces In the street car and carefully watch the eyes of the women who have a definite purpose in life, and then watch the society women, the lady of leisure.

MARTINEZ, June 15. Ex-Tax Collector H. C. Raap, who went out of office January 1 of this year, and who was found, according to a statement of County Auditor A. L.

Sul-lenger, to be owing the county has employed Expert J. W. Cavls to go over all accounts connected with his former office, with the hope of finding discrepancies. As a result. It has been given out that about $17,000 has been placed to Raap's credit, and it is expected that mistakes covering the whole amount will be found.

In the meantime Raap has paid to County Treasurer Buttner, under protest, the sum In dispute, pending the result of Expert Cavls work, which it will require a month or more to complete. The allegations made against Raap causea no end of excitement and sur mise throughout Contra Costa county, as ne was Tax Collector for several years, and a man whose integrity has always been above question. He was succeeded In office by George D. Sear cy, and it was not until ten days ago that the alleged shortage was discovered. He was at once notified and came to this city, where he endeavored to clear up the mystery sur rounding his supposed defalcation.

It was in those days that the wayside road-houses thrived. First outside of Oakland was the 'Three Mile House," on San Leandro road.

It was in those days Just a place to halt, give the stage horses a drink of water, and afford the passengers' an opportunity, if they desired, to 'wet their whistles." Most of the men passengers seldom failed an invitation to "wet." The Three Mile House In later days became noted under the 'ownership of the late Joe Dleve as a resort evenings for "young bloods' of 'Oakland who drove tholr wwn rigs and used the smooth Leandro road as an exercising track. Sometimes these young men were said to take their best girl riding on moonlight nlshts out the road and as far as Hayward and on the return it was in order to step into Loe Dioves' side parlor, indulgo in a few songs, a dance or two, and then return home ward. It happened, however, that some of joe mends pulled off a dog and bedger fight one night in Dieves barn, the secret leaked out and after that it was considered "good form" for the roadsters to be seen hitched un cier Dieves' shed.

AT TONY OAKES'. The stopping place for stagecoaches in Hayward in the fifties was the American Exchange Hotel, later conducted by "Yank" Btill later by the widely-known Tony Oakes. While Anderson and his predecessors, the Perkins family, conducted the hotel It was an ordinary wayside stopping place, its local patronage -beln largely made up of the poker-playing citizens and a few table boarders.

Tony Oakes landed in Hayward soon after the big flood of January, without a dollar. He had "gone broke" at a resort In San Mateo County. He had a wife and four boys, a guitar and a reputation as a caterer and a singer of ballads. For awhile Tony conducted the small hotel in Hayward known -its "Deutsches Gasthaus," owned by Charles Spoerer. He eventually succeeded In buying "Yank Anderson's lease of the American Hotel and changed its name to Tony Oakes' Hotel.

A season of prosperity followed Tony, who had many old friends In the bay cities who continued to patronize him. Montgomery and Ryland, and other circus men wintered at his resort. Queen, especially, was a very profitable guest, one entire winter keeping his large troupe of artists and his menagerie, at Oakes' place. Tony was an Ideal landlord to those of a Be-hemlan nature who loved a good song and something good to eat and drink. He flourished until the electric railway linked Hayward with Oakland.

Then he declared that the place had been cheapened. Instead of the customers who happened Into his place, calling for champagne as in the -old days, the guests by electric cars asked for V-cent beer and they Vanted big glasses of it for their nickels. In disgust Tony sold out and moved to "Kllnknerville," now the Golden Gate district of this city. Ill-fortune followed the old man and he eventually retired to a little store at Alvlso, a town where he had fifty years before acquired a block of land. There Tony sang his old songs for the few yokels, Just as good-naturedly as he had sung for the edification of General Taylor when he was a mess boy in Mexico In 1847.

He died a few years The road house he conducted for so many years in Hayward is'now conducted as a hotel by Mr. Vandervoort, formerly of Pleasanton. i Stage-coaches in the early days went by way of Alvarado, Centervllle. "Nigger Corners" (ndw Irvington), Mission, San Jose and Warm Springs, therfee on through historic Mllpitas to San Jose. Alvarado had a hotel conducted by Mr.

Llston, Centervllle another with Mr. Gregory in charge, and at the Ex-Mlsslon. San Jose, Colonel Suni-ner, a former Mexican war vetera, conducted tho Washington Hotel. These hostlerles good places to sleep and eat in but had no special vogue as restorts. AN EXQUISITE RESORT.

But at Warm Springs, ah! There was the resort exquisite. There were natural warm springs with warm miid baths for tho rheumatic guest: a beau tiful garden filled with rare plants and flowers; a hotel and cottages for the exclusive guests; a dance' hall for balls, and a 'climate for salubrity. Grapes, figs, oranges and all semi-tropical fruits, as well as those of tho temperate zone, flourished in abundance. But It was aa a resort i for those who loved to dance the hours away that the warm spmngs wae noieu. wnen ue signal was aennt out that a dance was to be given there the country-side turned out for mites and miles around.

It was thought -little of In the olden days to travel in buggies forty miles for the sake of participating in the pleasures of a grand ball at Warm Borlnrs. But. alas, after the old West era Pacific railway was constructed through Nile Canyon. Warm Springs was side-tracked. The resort was pur chased by Lelanl Stanford and given to his brother Josiah, and festivity reigned no more In the old-time dance h.n Th.

Blaise kept his resort with less scandal floating from Its frolic-filled halls than is nowadays exuded from the so-called French restaurants of cities. Once, away In the Jate Blaise's resort came very near having a scandal. It was when the noted pianist, Qottschalk. was touring this country. He here was thrown in company with a high-spirited young woman, daughter of a retired United States army officer, and "papa being away the mice did play." In some manner now forgotten, by the oldest inhabintant, Gottschalk Induced the General's daughter to consent to dine with him at Blaise's "rendezvous de Evidently the dinner was exceptionally good, or the celebrated pianist was an exceedingly entertaining fellow, because the General's daughter forgot all about returning to her home a few blocks distant until her father and his men-servants began smashing down M.

Blaise's front There was then, it was said at the time, a hurried flight over back fences and across lots. Eventually Gottschalk and the young woman got to the General's house before the old warrior returned, and that was the end of it. It happened, however, that Gottschalk saw fit to cancel all his engagements about the bay and to take a hurried flight eastward by Panama steamer. As time went by and settlers crowded about M. Blaise's resort its old-time patronage fell off.

Eventually Blaise disappeared, other Frenchmen attempted to conduct the "place, but it gradually fell lower and lower in public estimation, and perhaps, deservedly so, until the City Council declined to further permit its lessee to apply for a liquor license.
