Mrs. B. L. Bpence of 1324 Linden street, bad a novel experience when the overland train came in the other night. She wasj met by a gentleman who attempted to embrace her and who persisted in his de termination till he was slapped.

Rev. and Mrs. J. Small went to the train to meet the wife of Rev. George W.

Sweeney, who has come to Oakland on a visit to friends. They were accompanied by Mrs. Bpence, also a friend of Mrs. Sweeney. When the passengers alighted a gentleman rushed up to Mrs.

Spence and was attempting to embrace her when she resented. "You've made a mistake, sir," said the lady. "Ob, no, I haven't," said the gentleman, laughing. Aa he spoke he made another advance toward the lady. "But you have," said the lady.

Tie gentleman was only encouraged by the lady's opposition, and again prepared to renew his demonstration of affection. Mrs. Hpence was very much worked up and protested strongly, but with no resuit favorable to herself. The man refused to be convinced that be had made a mistake. As he made a final attempt, Mrs, Spence was forced to resort to a display of belligerency, and she administered to her persistent admirer a heavy bow in the face.

This had the desired effect, and the gentleman went off. Mrs. Spence says that i.c undoubtedly mistook her for some one he expected to meet and would not be convinced tnat he had made a mistake. She is now wondering who the lady is that ars such a resemblance to her, and is on the lookout to guard against any similar demonstration in the future.

Ido not wish to do so unless it belongs to me, and the only way to definitely decide the matter is for these ladies to come to time and what they can do. We hope to bring the colored cyciers together soon, and I take this step to start the ball a-rolline." The programme for the meet is as follows: Grand wheel parade of ladles and gentlemen. Prizes for lady in neatest cycling costume and for largest visiting dub.

He wrote to Chairman Welch of San Francisco on Thursday, out has not yet received a rooty. "We are anxious to have our annual meet ana our club recognized by the L. A. said Captain Williams to-day.

OFFICERS OF THE OAKLAND CYCLING CLUB. are very few colored cycling clubs in the country, and the question of admitting all cyclers has not yet been passed have a flourishing club; every member is a reputable citizen, and there are some remarkably good riders. Our races are open to all comers, and there aoea rot appear to be any valid reason why we shonld not join the L.

A. W. Ido not think that the reason we have not been recognized is due to race prejudice, boi there is a desire to avoid the issue. However it will have to be met, and the sooner the better. Of course we shall not take anything but a refusal or an acceptance for an answer.

I believe, however, that when the matter is discussed on its merits we will be accorded due recognition. I am waiting for Mr. Welch's reply with great interest." A CROSi-C JMPL AiNT FILED. Says He Wan Forced Away From Home by Her Cruel Treatment. OAKLAND, July M.

Baone Thinks Marriage Is Not a Failure. He Would Have Every Teacher the Parent of at Least Two Children. BERKELEY, July There are several scores of timorous women teachers in Berkeley who fear that their official heads uay soon be cut off and their salaries stopped, so far as the School Department is concerned, because they have not taken unto themselves husbands. They are in a quandary to know whether they will be required to gft married soon if they wish to stay in the department, ana the immediate probability of such a move has caused no little excitement among some of the feminine pedagogues. This feeling of fear has been aroused among them by the recent stand taken by President P.

R. Boone of the Board of Education, who declared that married women teachers are preferable to single ones. "I am disposed in favor of married teachers," says President Boone, "provided they have nor. been married too long. In Chicago the best teachers are said to be married women.

In Philadelphia they are at no disadvantaee. In Boston they have proved excellent teachers and in Cleveland and Denver they are found to be first class. "If I were going to buildup a new system of education in a city I think I should make it a condition that every applicant P. R. Borne, President of Berkeley's Board of Education, Who Declares i hat Only Married Women Should Teach School.

for the position of teacher, male or female, bbouid be married, and married young, with the additional requirement that they be the mother or father of at least two children. "Tne paternal instinct conveyed in the schoolrooms would prove an additional merit. There has long been complaint that in most of our schools in American cities there are too many single inexperienced teachers, especially women, who are well up in science, norrnai- school methods aud pedagogical theories, but who lack one essential, and that is bow to handle the young. In the mother teacher you have the safer assurance. Another of the essentials of a pood teacher, single or married, is life, the ability to fieht against becoming the victim of routine.

"The supreme quality," says President Boone. "in any teacher is the Ire-giving quality that power Of conveying a vital impulse which clothes the dead fact with color and life, it is the absence of this element which often condemns a teacher to a cheerless and routine life." The pror-osition of President Boone to require that teachers be married is only in its embryo state, yet there seems to be strong indications that it will be put into tangible form before a great lapse of time. College Boys' Concert Tour. BERKELEY, July The University of California Male Quartet, which was organized a few weeks ago, is about to make a concert tour through the small towns in the central part of the State.

R. veterans to obtain a aoidiess' plat at Lone Tree Cemetery has called forth much discu-sion. Rice, who is one of the trustees of the cemetery, says that the facts are not fully understood. "When the Hay wards Guard disbanded they had $670," said Mr. Rice to-day.

member was entitled: to an equal share of this money. Some of the members suggested that a library bo established for. the town. Others thought to have it divided among the members, but when it was mentioned that they establish a. cemetery and a vote was taken it was unanimously resolved that the money should be used for that purpose and the cemetery be for the town of Hay wards.

"It Mas (bought that each member of the guard should have a small lot free, but when it was found that the land cost $900, the fencing $530, surveying and laying out lots $403, besides tan windmill, trees, tools and many other. wants too numerous to mention, the live trustees found it necessary to take money out of their private pockets and each one paid $20 for a small lot at the same price that they sold to any other citizen. So. lots were. ever trivea away, and no person ever donated any money to the cemetery.

"The trustees gave their time 10 help Boardrnan do the surveying and furnished stakes and sharpened them, all without cost to the cemetery. Money was hired at a high rate of interest, but afterward was found at a lower rate. The rive trustees gave, their joint for the loan. Tha trustees do not to meet, the Veterans.
