of the Oaktan i Enquirer conducted the evening Item just one day, and tonight publishes the fo. lowing statement concerning the two papers he purchased Saturday: It was announced Saturday that the new proprietor of the Times and Item would, on account of the many inquiries as to the disposition of Vie Inner publication, receive Bids for its purchase up to Monday noon, August 31. It may be interesting to know that not a single bid was received: consequently it will not be sold, and os the new owner will not advance feveral hundred dollars per month to keep it alive, the Item has appeared for the last time. total receipts for the Item for its four months' existence were less than $800, or $200 per month, and the extra exi-ense to the Times for producing it double that. So it may be considere with this evidence, that the effort to establish a penny paper in Oakland has been a failure." Improvement Club.

NEITHER SUICIDE NOR DESERTION, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels Are United and Live Across the Bay. END OF A ROMANCE. The Landlady and Others Now Regret Their Leniency and Sympathy.

PLAN A SURPRISE PARTY. Will Congratulate the Danie'ses and Incidentally Present a Few Bills With Requests to Pay. Oakland Office San Fbancisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Aug. 3L Mr. and Mrs.

Daniels, late of Thirtythird street, have been located in San Francisco and a delegation of their old acquaintances in North Oakland are arranging to give them a surprise party at the fashionable boarding-house where they are now residing. A few weeks ago Mr. Daniels disappeared. He left nis wife to go East, at least so she told her neighbors, and time passed away and nothing was heard of him. Although the Danielses lived in a comfortable furnished home near TelegTaph avenue and appeared to be very prosperous, their neighbors learned with some surprise that when the husband departed he left his wife with just 80 cents, which of course was soon exhausted.

The charitable neighbors sympathized with the heartbroken wife and gave her food and looked after her health. So deeply was Mrs. Daniels affected when it was reported that her husband might have been taken suddenly ill that for a time she had to be watched night and day. One day Mrs. Daniels disappeared also, ami her many sympathizers thought she had gone ami drowned herself and her sorrow in the cold waters of the bay.

The next chapter was devoid of all sympathy. The landlady appeared on the scene, and although she had been very sympathetic toward the deserted wife, the practical side of her nature asserted itself and expressed very positive views which were based on the fact that the family with aristocratic pretensions had, for quite a time, neglected to attend to the rent. Other matters of a similar nature had also been neglected, and several people regretted that they had met the man "who was associated with mines and stocks." When the landlady inspected her deserted house she found that her late tenants had not been any more careful than aristocratic people are generally and she would like to meet the Danielses and have a settlement for damages as well aa rent. Now the discovery has been made that Mr. Daniels did not perish on his way East, and Mrs.

Daniels did ncjt court surcease from a broken heart off Goat Island, but that both are enjoying life as much as ever in San Francisco. Their neighbors are not at all backward in expressing their views of the circumstances and declare that they will at once advise the present landlord of the Danielses that their tenants are subject to disappearance and other little irregularities not uncommon to some people that "are as3ociated with mines and stocks." SHOCKING DEPRAVITY, Ignorance, Filth aud Crime Vnearthed In the Tgchlch Family by Mrit Prescott. OAKLAND, Aug. Mrs. Lydia A.

Prescott was appointed to the guardianship of Emma and Frida Tschich, the two little girls of Mr. and Mrs. Julius. Tne parents have been parted for years, tbe mother living at 619 Broadway and the father conducting a locksmith's business at 1403 Park avenue, Alameda. The girla are IS and 11 years of age.

The testimony showed that the children were kept in a most iilthv place with and were diseased from contact with them The oldest girl had been assailed by men along the wharf. Mr. and Mrs. Tschich met twenty years ago in New York and lived together thirteen years without any form whatever, and there ha 3 never been any divorce granted them, although Mrs. Techich appeared in court with an infant a year old which she said was the child by Peter Otten, who formerly resided at 833 Magnolia street, but who is now dead.

Tschich admitted to Juiisre Greene that he had $700 in bank and $1000 loaned out. NO DEMOCRATS ARE LEFT Bryan and Sewall Ratification Ignored in Alameda County. Republicans Are Women Working Additions to the Fold. Oaxlaxd Office Pan Frakcibco Call,) 808 ISroadway, Aug. 31.

If William Bryan of Nebraska came to Oakland he would probably draw a crowd out of curiosity, but they certainly would not be Democrats, for so far none have been heard from since the Chicago circus, when Pilate's instrument of torture wai used with success as the key to a Presidential nomination. "When are the Democrats of Alameda County going to ratify? is the question asked by everybody, but bo far uo one has been able to reply. There are a few Democrats left in the county, but they have not yet mustered up enough courage to ratify the Chicago piatform and nominees, and so with the exception of one or two, who manage to keep to the front and would do no matter to what party they belonged, the voice of the Democrat is heard no more in the land. The party in this county is about equally divided between soundmoney men and Populists. Nothing is being left undone by the Republican party to win back for Alameria the banner that was carried to Los Angeles in sackcloth and ashes a couple of years ago.

There was hardly a booth that was not up and finished, ready for the reception of the articles to be displayed in them, and quite a number were in that state of completion as to displays as to warrant judges who are to award the prizes for the best exhibit ready on opening day passing upon them, but of course that will not be done until late in the evening. The names of the judges will not be announced until the three prize-winners are named. This idea of offering cash prizes for best and most complete displays on the day the i fair is thrown open has proved a stimulating incentive to hurry up matters, and for this the patronizing public will be thankful. Atonnd the stderloors on Grove and Polk streets there was all day yesterday a perfect jam of, deuvery-wagons, loaded with eoods of all kinds, and there was a rush of men unloading heavy articles into the large building, and active young men, women and children receiving and carrying lieht bundles and parcels to the va- i rious points where they were to be plactd on show. There was a hurrying to and fro; exhibitors with goods jostled against mechanics at work, in their eagerness to deposit their bundles where could be opened and arranged on tables or shelves to the best advantage.

The superintendent, Mr. Gilmore, and his assistant, Mr. i Clark, were surrounded all day long by interested parties, anxious to know about their rights. A score of workmen were busy putting on the finjshmg touches on the miniature exhibit of the Union works, placing the I different imitations of workshops, ship- ways, executive buildings, railways and storehouses in the relative position they occupy in the great yard in Potrero. In the annex in which this Is located there will be a fine electric-light display, and the next most attractive exhibit in the same room will be that of the Dairy Union.

In machinery hall there is a very large display of what Calilornia mills and i foundries can turn out, and a great deal i of the machinery will be in operation. On the main floor the many booths in various colors, some plainly but others artistically decorated, present a strikingly beautiful scene. The show by the cotton mills and that by the rubber company, which adjoins it will, when in operation, prove a most interesting and instructive object lesson to all visitors. palace in many colors is a marvel of mosaic work. One firm was busy yesterday putting in position the largest mirror ever made in the United States, made here.

The plate is three-eighths of an inch thick and silvered with mercury. It weighs 520 pounds. Its length is 192 inches and its widtn 85.8 inches. With the comparatively narrow beveled glass frame the measurement is 17x10 feet. One of the firms has taken the head out of one of its immense placed a floor in it and arranged it handsomely as a reception-room.

It is larce enough to accommodate eisht or ten persons at one time. The exhibit of the Fish Commissioners is ajready in operation. The are filled with all kinds of tront, and in the hatchery which adjoins there are thousands of youns; fish. There is such an abundance of pictures in the art gallery there is not room for all. A nnmber have already been hung on the wall of the south gallery, and last evening there were still a number of the products of California artists on tbe-fioor, but before this evening all will be in place.

The California Camera Club has secured considerable space in which to exhibit the ef its members. The Golden State Amateur Press Association lias space to display the productions of the rising juvenile journalists of California, ami the Denman School will present an attractive exhibit of the works of the pupils. The sale of season tickets has been unusually large, and the tickets for employes have already been distributed, something that has never been done before. The opening exercises will be held today, and to-night for the first time the full blaze of electric arid gas light will be thrown on the many exhibits. This afternoon the following opening programme will be given in the Columbia Theater: March and cortege from "Queen of Sheba" Address President E.
