T 8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1895. R e————————————————————————— THEY CAN'T BEAT HIM IV THE MOD. LuckY DoG RAN CIRCLES AROUND His FIELD IN THE RACE YESTERDAY. CHARLES A WAS FORTUNATE. OrLp WiLp Oats HAD A NEw LEASE AND WON THE PLECHASE. The track was muddy yesterday but did not impair the sport, the races all being well contested. There were six races on the card, three being taken by favorites and three by outsiders in the betting. The mile race gave Lucky Dog, the giant son of Darebin, an opportunity to show what a really great horse he is in muddy going—without doubt the best in America. The long price of 9 to 10 was obtainable against him in the ring. There was little 1o choose in the price for the place between Royal Flush and Thornhill. While at the post Lucky Dog e an exhibition of his témper, which is not the best, unseating his rider, Walker, during one of his antics and stepping on him. He luckily escaped injury. Thornhill on the outside beat the tlag a couple of lengths and led the favorite past the quarterand down the back stretch. Nearing the half pole Walker let out a link with the favorite and it was all over. With his tremendous strides he smothered his field and won galloping by three lengths. In a drive Thornhill secured the nlace from Royal Flush by a length. Centurion disposed of his'field with ease in the opening dash of five furlongs, start- ing with 7 to 10 against him. Riley Gran- nan threw in a lot of maney on Middleton, Bookmaker Rose’s broken-winded racer, Forther Srarrmg who loomed up very promising for a while, finally finishing third, a head be- hind Fleetwood. They were an uncertain lot that went to the post in the second race, a five and a half furlong run, and about everthing 1n it received some support. McFarlane, carry- ing seventy-four pounds, was sent to the post a sort of doubtful favorite, with threes against him. - Carmel probably carried about as much money on his chances as any of the starters at 4 to 1. Advance tried to run away with the race and came very | near being successful. Leading into the | stretch by three lengths, he quit nearing | the wire and was passed by Annie Moore and Carmet, the former coming like a shot, winning by nearly three lengths. It was well for the backers of the even- money favorite, Charles A. in the third race, that Griffin beat the flag nearly three lengths, or they might have been tearing up instead of cashing tickets. There wasa delay of over half an hour at the post, caused principally by Johnny Payne. ‘When the flag finally fell, Griffin on the favorite was off clear of his field, and was never headed, although he had'to hustlp him along at the finish to stall off Conde, the second choice, beating him but a head. Terra Nova, at 30 to 1, finished a fair third. 01d Wild Oats, who hasbeen racing since the spring of ’50, won the steeplechase in a drive from_Mero, backed down from 10 to 1 to fours. Comrade, the 7 to 5 favorite, led until nearing the last jump, when he died away and was passed by .\}ero, who looked a sure winner until collared by Wild Oats. Ross and Realization were the good things in the last race, but Mainstay spoiled everything by winningin a gallop with 6 to 1.against him. The five furlongs was run in 1:03};. Realization finished behind him and Sir Richard third. Betting throughout the day was only fair, but will undoubtedly improve as the track dries up. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

Bookmaker Walter held Lucky Dog out in his book and played him on the outside. Although beaten Thornhill ran a great race. Pittsburg Phil played Centurion heavy in the first race, and would have made a killing bad Boreas won.” He thought Ross a good thing for the place in the last race which cost him a good-sized bet. Abe Levy played Charles A and Lucky Dog, and cashed some mce;lookigg tickets. Grannan made the bookies cut the price against Barcaldine. 3 ollowing are the starters in to-day’s running events: First race, five-eighths of a mile, selling— Charger 96, Zamloch 119, Tyrena 92, C M C 106, Gracie S 110, Sloe 100, Monroe 92, Red- wood 106, Claude 96, Middleton 106.

Science is about to profit by the will of an old man who died in Vienna on Tues- day mornine at the age of 92. His name was Teiti, and he left his whole fortune— with the exception of some bequests to faithful servants, to pension funds and to a children’s hospital—to the Academy of Sciences for scientific research in astron- omy, the exploration of the earth and physics and chemistry. This he did as he said in his will, “for” the greater glory of God, that men and women may become h?pier by being more cultured and educa~ ted, and also for the simplification of medi- cal science,” whatever that may mean. The smaller bequests ‘amount to over £23,000, and what is left all oes to the academy. This will be considergbly over £80,000. The old man wentto Vi- enna poor and unprotected over seventy years ago and earned his fortune in com- merce, but never lived as if he were rich. He had a little lodging in the fourth story of one of his houses, and occupied it in the winter with a housekeeper and servant. In the summerhe had a little cottage at Hiet~ zing, to which he always rode in anm omni- bus. He had neither kith nor kin, and his scientific propensities were unknown to his very best friends. But it appears that he was fond of making yhysicalpand math- ematical experiments, of testing watches by the movements of the stars, and so forth. But he was only a self-educated man from first to last,;and his will reads like a document composed 100 years ago. It will be difficult to apply his ‘money to the purposes he had in_nis mind, as’ the will allows of very different interpreta- tions.—London Daily News, - —————— - Coquelin a Warwick in Reality. M..Coquelin, who in his time has played £0 many parts, is made to appear in the new one of a sort of kingmaker by some of the French papers. But for him, it is said, the present President of the French re- public would never bave attained to his elevated position. It was in this wise: Twenty Kearu ago M. Felix Faure, then a respectable tradesman at Havre, used to run up to town now and then, and when he did he seldom fziled to go to the Comedie Francaise. In the greenroom, to which be obtained access through a’ friend, he made the acquaintance of M. Coquelin. The actor, as is well known, was one of M, Gambetta's most intimate friends. One day M. Coquelin said to M. Faure: “Come and see me between the first and second acts, and I will introduce you to some one who will be interested to know you.” The ‘“‘some one'’ was M. Gambetta, who after- ward induced M. Faure to_enter upon a arliamentary career, and helpJ him orward in it.—London Daily News. e PLATN and sllver-mounted leather goods.

THERE ARE CRIES OF “FouL” WHEN CONNELLY MAKES A WILD PUNCH. STRUCK HARD ON THE GROIN. A THOUSAND PERsoNs WITNESS A Furious FIFTEEN - ROUND FIGHT IN THE RING. BOSTON, Mass., March 25.—In the pres- ence of 1000 people, at the Suffolk Athletic Club to-night, Paddy Fenton of Fast Boston was given a decision over Eddie Connelly, the St. Johns wonder, in the last round of a fifteen-round contest. Two minutes and thirty seconds had elapsed in the fifteenth round_when()nn- nelly punched Fentou in the groin. Fento_n staggered and dropped his arms, and, amid cries ot “foul” and excitement among the seconds, the gong clanged and Referee Spencer Williams announced that he awarded the contest to Fenton. Both weighed 125 pounds. AT THE MATINEE'S RACES. A Large Crowad Visit Montgomery Park and Assist Chavity.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 28.—Robert Coffey, the young man who started on a bicycle for Pueblo, Colo., Tuesday morn- ing, did not get to Topeka Tuesday night, as he expected. Wheén a few miles west of White Church, this county, he met with an accident which ruined one of the rub- ber tires of his wheel and he had to dis- mount and push his machine back to Kan- sas City, Kans., for repairs. He made a second start and it is supposed that this time he got along all right. No Boxing in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 28.—The jury in the case of Charles McKeever, Charles McCarty and Jack Fogarty, charged with engaging in a prize-fight at Winter Circus building, January 24 and 26 last, found a verdict of guiity this morning, after being out two hours. This will put an end to boxing in this city. Fogarty, McKeever and McCarthy were each held in $1000 bail to keep the peace in the juris- diction of this court and outside of it. . The Ardary Horge Sale. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 28.—The Ar- dary horse sale attracted a large crowd of horsemen to-day.

Effect of the War on Tea. Some far-looking J)eople who are inter- ested in the tea trade have been eonsider- ing how the trade is likely to be affected in the long run by the war which is unhap- pily going on between China and her neighbor, Japan. Of course, during the progress of hostilities, the cultivation and reparation of tea for the market by he Chinese must: receive a serious check. but. how will it be afterward? Wil the strikinj ndvunufi of the Euro- pean methods as exemplified in the success of the Japanese forces make the Chinese more amenable to Western ideas, and will this have the effect of stimuiating the output ot Chinese tea in competition with Ceylon and Indian teas through the introduction of machinery? If the Times of Ceylon is to be trusted, the Ceylon planters are in no fear of increased compe- tition from this quarter. It is pointed -out that machinery always finds it difficult to compete with efficient coolie labor, and that in China it costs almost nething to grow, pluck and manufacture tea, seeing that the work is done by the owners of a few bushes in their spare moments. More- over, even if the output of Chinese tea were large1¥ increased, thereis no evidenge that it would find an increased market in Endgland, at any event. Ceylon tea has greater strength and pungency than China tea, and English consumers prefer it in consequence, although in other countries the same preference is not shown, at least i\? so marked a degree.—London Daily News. - WEATHER AFFECTS HEALTH Factory Accldents Are More Frequent in Bad Weather. J. 8. Lemon notices the very great influ- ence of weather on the health and temjer- ament, and through them the customs ar.d habits of men of all ages. This is reflectec in the salutations of all nations, in their religious ideas, particularly in their con- ceptions of the future life, and a thousand petty details of everyday existence. It affects even crime. Suicide is known to depend Jargely on the weatber, and it has been calculated that in India 48 per cent of certain crimes disappear when hot weather gives place to cold. The health of idiots and those afflicted with acute mania is especially dependent upon weather, and its effect on the nervous system is such that many Fenple can anticipate weather changes from their own feelings. Accidents in factories are said to much more frequent in bad weather than in good, and physio- logical phenomena like knee-jerk seem to be dependent on it in some measure. Its effect on the appetite is well known, and tea-tasters, who have’ cultivated the sense of taste till it has become almost abnormal, say that in good weather this sense is more delicate than in bad weather.

HER MISTAKE. Right Idea Came to Her, but It Was Too Late to Be of Any Use. She sat right opposite a bashful-looking young man in a Jefferson-avenue car and looked at him so steadily for five minutes that he grew impatient. Finally shifted the market-basket, two bundles and a stalk of celery to the seat beside her and leaned over and said: “Excuse me, sir, but isn't your name Biggs?” “No, madam,” he said, blushing. “Then you're not a son of Hiram Hart- ley Biggs of East Saginaw ?” “I am not.” i "gotY Hiram Biggs’ nephew or cousin ?’ “No." g “Name isn't even Biggs?*’ she urged, per- suasively. “It is not.” *Well, I thought fer sure you was one of ’em. I never saw such a family like- ness!” hi The victim smiled that uncertain smile which is played, like trumps, when in doubt, and there was a welcome silence for three blocks. Then the owner of the mar- ket basket leaned over once more : i “It seems to me you fayor ole Mrs. Biggs more’n you do Hiram,” she said. CADPY “Yes. She was a Higgins. You have her eyes and hair. There isa Biggs look though, sure enough,” she added reflect- ively, inspecting the young man still more critically. “Born_in East Saginaw, weren't you?’ she im‘uired suddenly. “No.” “Ever been there?”’ “No.” “Well, 'tain’t chance,” she declared emphatically, “and if I had three blocks more we'd get at the bottom of this. I'm sorry I have to get off here, she added, as she gathered up the market basket, the two bundles and the stalk of celery and started for the door. “Too bad, ain’t it, to leave it unset- tled like that?” she said regretfully to the conductor, as she climbed off the car. But the young man didn’t think so. He looked as if he had shaken a brick off his devoted head, and even the conductor seemed relieved as he started up the car again. 3 ‘Hold on, conductor,” screamed the friend of all the Biggses, dropping the market basket, two bundles and stalk of celery on the track and hurrying after the car. It might be_on his mother’s side,”” she said breathlessly; “‘ask him was his mother a Popham, or did—" but the car was gone, —Detroit Free Pre: E — e ———— Man, Monkeys and Primates. It is among the great group of the Pri- mates, which includes both man and the other monkeys, that the development of the hand reaches its highest point; so much so, indeed, that the Primatesasa roup might almost be described as the and-possessing animals., Yet as some vagueness appears to exist in the minds of rsons who have not yet acquired the igher culture, at Girton or elsewhere, as to the precise meaning of this biological term, I will venture to explain that it is the modern name for all that vast %:o':g of leading mammals most nearly rel to ourselves, and comprising not only the apes and monke,v':, but also the lemurs, e ayeayes and the bats. I am thus preeise in my definitien, be. cause experience shows that ecolesiastigal preconceptions may lead to error in the use of the word. Has not Mr. Lefanu re- corded the story of the Irishman who saw in acase at the museum of the College of Surgeons the skeleton of a gibbon just three feet hlcih under the label ‘‘Primates’ ? He drew back in surprise. “‘Ah,” said he, “and who’d have thought, now, they'd have made such a little fellow Archbishop of Armagh!”’—The Cornhill Magazine. ————— Fretting Under the Law. There is said to be a law in this State making it an offense to give away any object or thing as an inducement to pur- chase other things, for example, to give away a picture with every certain amount of other things purchased. There was once a law which made it an offense for a man to kiss his wife on *Sunday, but was strangely silent about kissing some other man’s wife. Many a man still livin, remember when if was not permissible to open the theaters in Boston on Saturda; evenings, and there was a law to punis any dissipated individual found amo]nng on the street. Some of these fantastic ol legal freaks have been done away with, but there are some communities which, like some individuals, require an uncon- scionable time to get wide awake.—Boston Traveller. ——— The number of hairs on the adult’s head usually ranges from 128,000 to 150,000. ey “If you don’t take Langley’s Directory, you don’t get the names,” she | g created the demand for the later, asthe edition being exhausted, his audience clamored for more of the same. Mr. Davis’ book is the story of his own experiences, and is knowledege therefore at first hand. It is the story of what his eyes saw and his ears heard. Next to Alfred Robinson, Mr. Davis is perhaps the oldest of the living pioneers—that is to say his arrival here dates further back, not that his years are more, for, though an old man, as_his “Sixty Years in California”’ must indlicate, heis still a man in the fall vigor ife. Mr. Dayisarrived in California in 1831 on the bark Louisa from Boston and has re- mained here continuously since, except when away on business. e was first em- ployed as a clerk for Nathan Spear and afterward for Petty & McKinley. Before 1849 he had begun business for himself. He saw the first steamer enter the bay of San Francisco on the 28th of February, 1849, bringing some 300 or 400 egfer gold- hunters. Of that passenger list Mr. Davis says not more than eight or nine suryive. Among these are Dr. A. B. Stout, ex-Sur- veyor-General Pratt, Henry F. Williams and General D. W. C. Thompson, now commandant of the Soldiers’ Home at Yountville. In the fall of 49 Mr. Davis leased his building at the corner of Clay and Mont- omery streets to the firm of Bleecker, €7an Dyke & Belden for the modest rental of §2500 a month, or $30,000a year. He moved a little further uptown to the cor- ner of Montgomery and California streets, where he built the first brick building in the city of San Francisco. It was three stories in height, with amgle porticos across the face of each. This building was afterward leased to the Government as a customs-house for a rental of $3000 a month, or $36,000 a year. As showing trhat even these big rents were mnot the top figures Mr. Davis says that Bleeker, Van Dyke and Belden, al- though using the principal storeroom in the building they had leased of him as an auction-house, cut the balance of it up into offices and probably made as much more out of it as they paid him. _ The fire of the 3d and 4th of May, 1851, burned the heart of the city and destroyed Mr. Davis’ buildings, as well as a big and valuable stock of merchandise. He subse- quently went to Alameda County and en- gaged 1n raisit.g cattle and horses. n the '70’s he conceived the idea of writ- ing the histol} of California, which he un- dertook but did not complete until 1889, The book was printed and published here and attracted wide attention and such favorable comment that the suggestion was made that it be ado'gted as a textbook in the public schools. The edition was soon exhausted and then friends urged the author to enlarge its scope. He began and has prosecuted the work steadily through the past five years, and now has MSS. for two large volumes, comprising 1,200,000 words. He is hard engaged going over the matter revising and touching up. The ‘writing is Enrtinll completed. The work is to be elaborately illustrated with pen drawings by E. Wyttenbach. The fact that the author was himself a part of all he tells about gives a liying in- terest and charm to the work which no mere historian coming after could impart. The story of the founding and the rise of the city of 8an Francisco, told by the man, still an active factor in its affairs, who built the first brick building, is very like an ‘“Arablan Nights” tale. Many and strange were the personal ex- periences of the author, and his descri; tions of every-day life right here on this ground and’ throughout the State reads much like the tale of some foreign land. The population of the department of California about 1833-39 was probably from 10,000 to 12,000, exclusive of Indians, who numbered about 20,000°christianized. Besides indulgence in music and dancing, the men of those days found their recrea- tion, as they did_their occupation, chiefly on 'horseback. Horse-racing was one of their fayorite amusements, which they oc- casionally enjoyed, especially on the saints’ feast days, which were general holidays. The vaqueros were then relieved from duty, wore their best clothes. and were allowed to mount the best horses and to have their sport. These races were usually from 200 to yards, and participated in only by two horses at a time. Bets were made in cattle and horses, and large numbers of animals were lost and won_on these occa- sions. At times one hundred up to sev- eral hundred head of cattle were bet on the result of a single short race. They i_enenlly put up their vaquillas (heifers). hey had no money to wager, but plenty of cattle. Sometimes horses were also bet, but not often. There was on one occasion a famous race at Los Angeles of nine miles between the horses otg two wealthy tancheros, and an immense amount of proa:rty changed hands on the race— cattle and horses, mostly the former. This race attracted quite a large crowd of ?eople, and was considered a great affair or that day. The bull fight was usually held on one of the saints’ days. The bull was turned into an inclosure; and the horsemen would then come in, mounted on their best ani- mals, and figfit the bull for the entertain- ment of the spectators, killing him finally, Sometimes a bearand a bnfi fignt would take place. Another amusement they had at the killing season at_the matanza spot. When cattle were slaughtered, bears came to the place at night to feast on the meat that was left aiter the hides and tallow were taken. The bears coming, the ran- cheros, with vaqueros, would go there for the purpose of lassoing them. This was one of their greatest sports, highly exciting and dangerous; but the bear always got the worst of it. One would lasso a bear by the neck another would lasso the same beast by the hind foot; and then, puiling in different directions the poor bear was soon strained and strangled to death. Sometimes half a dozen or more would be taken in a single night in this way. ' THE FAULT OF THE GRIP. He Made a Mistake in Tackling the Boss Under the Circumstances. He was standing on a street corner, look- ing very disconsolate, when a friend asked what troubled him. “Looking for a new job,” he said shortly. “What was the matter with the one you had?” asked the friend. “Grip,” he replied. *‘Lost your grip ?"’ * “No, got it.” “What do you mean?”’ ‘“Well,” he said, in an explanatory way, ‘“the grip is very trying toa man’s tem- per, isn't it ?” tYeon.2! ‘“You never saw a man with the grip in go&)g_ h?’mor, did you?” “Well, I made a trifling mistake.” Yo ““And the boss said something to me about it.” “Of course.”’ b ‘“And I said something to him.” “Yes.” ““We both had the grip at the time.” “Well, what else?’” “Nothing else. He’s looking for a new clerk and I’'m looking for a new boss. Men can get along all right, but when two cases of grip come together there’s always trouble.”—Chicago Post. AN ARTIST'S SUDDEN DEATH. EUGENE TANIERE'S BRAINS DASHED OUT ON FULTON STREET YESTERDAY. HEe Lost ConTROL oF His BrcycLe AND RaN INTO AN IRON BOILER. Eugene, Taniere, the artist, met with a very sudden death yesterday afternoon. Recently he purchased a bicycle, and all his leisure time was taken up in learning how to ride it. He went out to the park in the morning, and after a spin to the CLiff House, and back to the Haight-street ter- | minus of the car line he started for home. All went well until he reached Fulton | street. That thoroughfare, in the vicinity of Steiner street, is not in good repair, and the contractors have been at work | laying down bituminous rock. The boiler and necessary appliances are sta- tioned at tnhe corner of Fulton and Fillmore streets, and everything was in full blast yesterday afternoon. After crossing Steiner street Taniere lost control of his machine and weni down Fulton | street at a break-neck pace. ing of Fulton and Fillmore streets the bicy- cle swerved and crashed into the boiler. The machine was a complete wreck “and Taniere had his brains knocked out against one of the iron wheels of the boiler. He was carried into the nearest drugstore, but no medical assistance was required, as death must have been almost instant- aneous. Taniere was well known among the artis- | tic fraternity in San Francisco and the news of his sudden death will come asa shock to his numerous friends. R. Hubbard of 1917 Mission street was an eye-witness of the tragedy, and it was The Dead Artist and His Broken Wheel [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] he who reported the matter to the Morgue. “Mr. Taniere apparently got along all right,” said he, ‘‘until he was within half a glock of Fillmore street. Then something went wrong and he came flying down the grade. Being a beginner, he got rattled, I suppose, and lost control of the machine. He crashed into the bituminous rock bniler‘ and when we picked him up he was dead.’ The inquest on the remains will be held to-day, When nervous irritable or worried ««Vin Mariani’ is exquisite, nothing is gqually efficacious and soothing.

Ti the grip would run its course like another disease and then go away, leaving no trace be- hind, it would st{ll be dangerous enough to j all the precautions against it. But the evil that grip does lives after it. People who can't digest their food and complain of cold hands and feet, or of shattered nerves, or are tormented by a persistent cough, say: “I have never been well since I had the grip. The reason issimple enough. There has been an immense drain of vital force during the battle with the disedse, and this loss has never been made good. THus the weakened body, like & town without fortifications, is open io | the enemy. A second attack of grip is, for this | reason, mor ious than the first.
