rocking the head chair. This rocking up
set an oil heater and this set nre to the

FRESNO, June 1.— At a meeting of tne
Beard of Police and Fire Commissioners
held in this city last night twenty pai.l
"call men" were added to the local fire
department. The step had been under
contemplation for a Jong time, and It Is
thought will add greatly to the efficiency
of the department. Heretofore the de
partment had been purely a voluntee
one, the only paid men being the en
gineers and drivers. • There were about
forty applicants for the positions. The
selections were made so as to divide tho
department equally between members of
the Democratic and Republican parties.
James A. Ward, formerly a County Su
pervisor, was chosen early In the week
as chief of the fire department, suc

Dies Grieving Over Brother's Crime.
SAN JOSE, June 1.— Addle Cobb, the
sister of James C. Dunham, the murderer
of the McGlincy family, was burled to
day. Her death came as the result of
that tragedy, which pursued her like. a
horrid nightmare. She changed her name
and sought new fields of action, but the
stigma followed her to the grave. She
was buried in the same cemetery where
the victims of her brotner sleep. Al
though possessed of a strong character,
the burden of her brother's crime bore
her to- the- grave at 20 years, six years
after the tragedy.

DEATH OF A WITNESS
AGAINST MRS. BOTKIN
Cfchn B. Pennington, the Father of
Her Alleged Victim, Dies in
Delaware.
DOVER, Del., June 1.— Former Attorney
General John B. Pennington, aged 77
years, the oldest lawyer in Delaware, died
to-night in his rooms in the Capitol Hotel.
Aside from his prominence in the law and
statecraft Pennington for nearly a year
was . conspicuous in the public eye over
the entire country because of his connec
tion with the famous murder case of Mrs.
Botkln, convicted and sentenced to life
Imprisonment in California for the mur
der of his two daughters, Mrs. John P.'
Dunning and Mrs. Joshua D. Deane, the
two prominent Dover young women who
were killed by a box of poisoned candy.
The tragedy so shocked the father an-J
mother that Mrs. Pennington died shortly
afterward. . ¦ . • ?
Pennington retired from the practice of
law and gradually wasted away until
death came to-night. His testimony was
believed to be vital in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against Mrs. Bot
kin, and in her attorneys' recent efforts to
secure a new trial for the prisoner Pen
nington believed they were only frittering
away the time until death should strike
him down that they might then Becure
the . Californian's release. The authori
ties, however, claim that the case against
Mrs. Botkln is still fatal.
Pennington after practicing civil en
gineering was admitted, to the bar in 1864.
and was subsequently Legislator, Attor
ney General and Congressman. ¦

SACRAMENTO. June l.-War has been
declared by the newspapers of Sacramen
to against the so-called fraternity or
Greek letter societies in the public schools
as subversive of the best interests of the
schools. Principal Tade of the High
School says that membership in the
"fratV societies is detrimental to the
standing and scholarship of pupils. Mem
bers of the "frats" are defiant and say
the school authorities have no right to
suppress them.
"War Made on the "Frats."
This fair was almost exclusively in the
hands of young people, and the children's
booth was the largest in the hall. Here
dozens of little ones labored for the bene
fit of the church, and very successful
work they did. This booth was under the
gtneral care of Miss Rose A. Gallagher.
A considerable sum has been netted by
this event, but the exact amount will not
be computed until the end of the week.
The attendance has been very good, but
to-morrow night is expected to eclipse
all other evenings because of the an
nouncements to be made and the grand
wind-up of the affair.
It is already known that Clara Boland
has won the gold ring offered for the
mest successful worker connected witn
the children's booth, but the other little
prize-winners are as yet undetermined.
There will be drawings for all
kinds of prizes, an auction of all of the
articles remaining in the various booths,
and the announcement of the names of
the champion workers in the different
booths and departments.

At to-day's meeting it was reported that
the laundries had otfered to pay the in
crease, but refused to give the employes
their washing. It is over this 75 cents a
week that the strike will result. The em
ployers announce they will light the mat
ter, and the workers are just as deter
mined. About 150 men and girls will be
a ff ected.
The laundries of this city conduct
boarding-houses in connection with their
establishments, and employes are com
pelled to board there. Besides their board
and a stated salary they have been re
ceiving 75 cents* worth of washing each
week- The workers want the boarding
houses abolished and a raise in wages
jsuflicient to allow them to live where they
desire. Owiiers of the laundries have re
lused to grant the increase asked and
positively refuse to abolish the boarding
nouses. However, they have ottered an
advance of 10 per cent and the right to
maintain the boarding-houses. The laun
dry workers have refused to accept a
c-oniproaiise.
SAN JOSE. June 1.— Every laundry in
this city and Santa Clara will be closed
to-morrow morning, the laundry workers
at a meeting this afternoon having decid
ed to strike unless their demands made a
lew days ago be granted.
Saecial Dispatch to The Call.
Japanese papers give news of large in
creases to Japan's fleet. It is said that
the present 255,202 tons of warships in
commission- and building will be increased
by the addition of five first ciass line-ot
battle ships, two first class cruisers, eight
second class cruisers and ten torpedo
boat destroyers, a total of twenty-flve
vessels, with an aggregate displacement
of 135.SO0 tons. Rumor alleges that funds
will be found by continuing or even in
creasing the present rate of land tax and
by imposing a tax on silk fabrics.
Anxiety is being occasioned at Toklo
and the vicinity by the fact that
rumbling sounds are being heard from
Mount Tsukaba. '
From many parts news is given of dam
age and disaster. Altogether there. .were
seven conflagrations, and the total num
ber of houses destroyed by tire was 14U$.
Floods also caused the destruction of
houses and less of life.
ihe Japanese cgjiser Yayeyema, sent to
relieve the wrecked Musabi at Neumuro,
was wrecked in the same harbor during
the storm. Her crew was saved.
Oft the island of Tuerl and Yoshiri
there were 122 boats engaged in fishing
for herring when the storm began. No
less than seventy boats were cast away,
and out of a total of 1355 men 220 were
drowned. One hundred and ninety-two
corpses had been recovered at the date, of
latest -advices. The men who lost their
lives were mostly from Akita prefecture.
From other fishing districts wrecks were
reported, and the loss of life was great.

"The most severe test I know of was
tvhen my husband was down with gas*
trie typhoid fever. His stomach would
retain nothing: we tried milk and vari-
ous other drinks. Everything we put
Into his stomach would come up in less
tl an three minutes. After the third day
of this kind of work I concluded to give
him some Postum Coffee. He drank It
and relished it and retained It. and for
four weeks he lived on Postum and:nota-
Jng elf-e to speak oL You can depend
t>i:-on it that Postum gained some good
friends, for Husband ; would have died if
it had, not been for the nourishment nf-
ferded by Postum Coffee." Name given
by Pcstum Co., Battle Creek, lllch.
"I used to have stomach trouble and
every time I drank a cup of ordinary
coffee suffered the greatest distress. My
troubles left when I left off coffee and
began using Postum.
Speaking of Postum Food Coffee, a
lady in Toledo, O., says: "For over five
yea re now 1 have used Postum Coffee en-
tirely In place of the ordinary coffee or
tea.
It makes rather solid friends of people
¦when they discover a liquid food that
