F. Smith, one of my attorneys, wrote a letter to Harry Cowell for me telling him that I would compromise the case for $5000. In is answer to me he said: I will give you | $1000, but no more. I would have married | you, but was afraid father would leave me & poor man.’ “This letter was left in the care of my attorneys, Senator Bart Burke and L. F. Smith, and they both declared it was a good case. Before leaving Santa Cruz I asked them for the letters, but they said | they had been destroyed in the Santa Cruz fire, and that they had entirely forgotten their contents. This is why 1 know they | were bought off. Mrs. Amires, the wife of a Santa Cruz fisherman, told me in the | presence of Mr. Christofoneena }irne;z Cowell, a brother of Harry’s, had offered her $5000 to swear that she knew I was a woman of bad character. “When the case comes up I will win it, T . know, but if I should fail why then I will put a bullet through his heart. I'have told him many times that I would so if he fooled me, and he knows that I will keep my word.” It is only a few yearssince Robert Majors and his wife, Maria Antonia, with their family of children, lived on their fine prop- erty adjoining that of Henry Cowell, about two miles northwest of S8anta Cru The two families had been friends for years, but it was not until after the death of Robert Majors that the intimacy occurred between Henry Cowell and Mrs. Majors. More than a year ago Mrs. Majors sued Harry Cowell for $50,000 damages for breach of promise. The case has been allowed to drag, but will, she now declares, be brought to & speedy finish. 4 THE PRESBYTERY TO MEET. Dr. Adams’ Resignation Will Be the First Question Con- sidered. The San Fraucisco Presbytery will meet to-morrow evening at the Westminster Church, on Tell street, near Laguna, at a quarter to 8 o’clock. After the election of a new moderator the meeting will proceed to the transaction of business. One of the first questions con- sidered will be the resignation of Dr. Adams, former pastor of the Westminster Church. It has been already passed upon and accepted by the congregation and Charles Geddes and C. 8. Capp have been commissioned to carry the pastoral resig- bation to the presbytery, in whose hands it rests, to finally accept it or not. On Tuesday the presbytery will hold an all- day session at the Westminster Church, hc;:mmng at 9:30 A. m. The ladies of the congregation will provide lunzh. 2 Dr. Adams is expected to leave Clifton Springs to-morrow and wilt probably reach San Francisco on Friday. I:Ic will preach |t | whatever c that | ¢ the Easter sermon at the Westminster Church, and in all_probability his farewell sermon two weeks later. THE CITY'S CREDITORS. They Petition the Supervisors to Cover Their Claims in the Next Tax Levy. The associated creditors of the city have issued a small pamphlet, being a *‘report of progress’’ in their matter of securing satis- faction of their claims. It gives results of their conferences with the new Board of Supervisors, and, concluding, says: As & means to the accomplishment of the principal end of the association, we think we may snyguile positlvely that in the tax levy to be made in June next an amount sufficient to I]‘ny the claims of the associated creditors will be included and specially set apart to pay such claims. We have in circulation a etition to the ard of Supervisions, which r v as been signed v many prominent citizens who are among the largest taxpayers in the city, asking the board to includein the tax levy for 1895-96 an amount sufficient to pay our elaims. WITH HELMETS AND CAPS, New Regulations Are Adopted by the Police Com- missioners. Officers Without Exception While on Duty Must Be in Uniform, All The Police Commissioners have been for some weeks discussing the matter of intro- ducing certain reforms regarding the uni- forms of the officers and patrolmen. They held a meeting yesterday after- noon, at which an amendment to section 9 of order 1603, relating to police uniforms and badges, was adopted, and a copy was ordered sent to the Board of Supervisors for approval at the meeting of the board orrow afternoon. The amended section leaves the full- dress uniform of the Chiefand captains un- The clerk to the Chief and the v clerk will have the same uni- the captains. In regard to other officers, the only change is that the ock coat must be made ““to button up to the neck.” The changes introduced in other respects are portant. Captains, clerk to the Chief and the property clerk shall wear { when on duty “navy-blue, double-breasted sack coats, made to button to the neck with double row of police buttons, six but- n each row, three buttons on cuffs, collar rolling. Collarand cuffs to be of the | same material as the coat. The bottom of | the coat to reach to the end of the thumb, | the arms hanging naturally.

The bottom of the skirt to reach to the | end of the thumb, the arms hanging natur- ally. Two brea: ockets and a pocket in each skirt, all in: R Patrolmen detailed for duty as station- keepers, prison-keepers, bailiffs of courts or clerks at police headquarters shall wear the sack coats prescribed for sergeants and corporals, with cap and number of badge enclosed in white-metal wreath. The captains and officers of police shall wear the same badges and stars as hereto- fore, but “‘as an insignia of rank the cap- tains of police shall wear shoulder-straps with black ground and two_gold bullion bars on each end of the strap.”” Patrolmen while on duty shall wear a blaeke heimet- of ‘umiform :shape; with double black and gold cord with white metal wreath and number of badge in front. Captains, sergeants and corporals while on duty shall wear a cap with gold bullion wreath encircling the word captain, ser- ceant, or corporal embroidered in gold ullion. The caps for captains to have a gold band, those for sergeants and corpo- rals to have a black braid band. It will be thus seen that in future no | ‘“‘citizens’ clothes” will be worn by any member of the Police Department while on duty, with the exception of the Chief and those det d to detective duty. Patrol- men on 1 duty have heretofore worn )thing suited their taste, but now they will wear the same uniform as on day duty, so that citizens can easily recog- nize them. The only -additional expense to the patrolmen is the new nelmets. DANGERS OF ELEOTRIOITY. The Supreme Court Defines Liability of Persons Using It. jirandi, a dishwasher in La Molle nt at San Jose, went on the roof of his employer’s house during a heavy storm on the night of February 23, 1891, to secure some signs there affixed. While on the roof he ran into some elec- tric wires and was badly burned in Land and leg. He sued the Electric Improve- ment Company of San Jose for damages and obtained a judgment. Then the com- pany took an appeal. Yesterday the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the lower court. The court held that the defendants had not taken due care and that there was no con- tributory negligence shown. On the point of the responsibility of persons using dan- gerous elements, such as electricity, the court say It is the duty of those making a profit’from the use of so dangerous an element as elec- 1se the utmost care to prevent in- class of people, composing the jury to any public, which % \ exists in any considerable Hum- bers.

Nikola Tesla Says With the Proper Agency He Could Obtain Tt. “If T could only discover an agency through which I could conduct 8,000,000 volts I could produce a light equal to the sun.” The speaker was Nikola Tesla, the great- est electrical theorist. He was standing on South Fifth avenue near Bleeker street, watching the ruins which fire had made of his grand workshop. He could see in the l:lvbns many of the results of his researches into the mysteries of the unseen power, and here and there were invaluable pieces of mechanism upon which he had worked for a lifetime. Yet he was not disconcert- ed, and when he made the above state- ment his mind was as clear as the tone of | Liberty bell. It was riot the fancy of an idler or an insane magician, but the ambition of an nveéntor who has aimed his shaft of knowledge at the heart of electricity. “Do you really ex: triumph?” was aske “‘Oh, yes,” replied electricity’s prophet, uif, as Lsaid, T can find an agency that will stand so gigantic a current.

THE CHAMPIONS ARE CHOSEN. The Great Theosophical Battle to Be Fought Shortly in Boston. Delegates have been selected by thelocal branches of the Theosophical Society to represent them at the annual national con- vention of the American section, which is to be held in Boston on the 23d inst. Dr. Jerome A. Anderson will go from the San Francisco branch, carrying the proxies, also, of the other delegates, Miss Annie Brice and Mr. Williams. The Golden Gate Branch is to be represented by Presi- dent E. B. Rambo and Dr. Allen Gtiffiths. It is expected that the bitter contention which has racked and torn the Ameri- can section over Mrs. Annie Besant's charges against William Q. Judge, the leading theosophist in this country, will be sure to prove the main topic_of discus- sion, for, like Banquo’s ghost, it will not down. Mrs. Besant has come out more positively than ever in various publications, among them the Westminster Gazette, in her ac- cusations against Mr. Judge, whose claimed mahatmic mediumistic powers she calls in- to question, and the result is that the split occasioned among the searchers after meta- physical light has spread from hemis- shere to hemisphere. Whatever contro- versy arises the delegates from this city will enthusiastically support Mr. Judge’s claims. “It is not. Mr. Judge who ison trial,” says Dr. Anderson, ‘‘but the issue now con- fronting us is whether American theoso- ghy is to provea success ora failure, heosophy is peculiarly an Occidental plant, and its enemies are secretly endeav- oring to blight and crush it.” George P. Keeney, a local enthusiast and who was one of the three founders of the San Francisco branch, waxed ardent and eloquent in his advocacy of Mr. Judge at the library of the Theosophical Society yesterday afternoon. Mr. Keeney was a ersonal admirer of Mr. Judge in New ork. Picking up a copy of Mrs. Besant’s last g\xblic contribution to the controversy, which is now waged upon three continents, he said: ‘“‘Here Mrs. Besant would leave the im- &ression adroitly that whatever gowers r. Judge possesses their exercise by him is purely automatic. Why, what escape is there from such an accusation. Even Mme. Blavatsky herseli would have been made the victim of such an insinuation. “On the other hand, any true occultist can see that Mr. Judge could be subject to the volition of the masters without losing the conscious principle and becoming a mere automaton. His mind would be simply subordinated, and operating in perfectly conscious harmony with the will of the mahatma influencing him. “But see what she says: ‘A friend told her that Mr. Judge did not receive mes- sages from the masters’ Who is this friend? It looks very much as if some subtle influence emanating from India was behind this to injure American theosophy. It has always been the de- sire of the Hindoo Brahmins to maintain the intellectual supremacy on this planet, and their influence is now being exerted to hurt a grand American brotherhood which has been erected upon afoundation of pure ethics. = “I do not question the honesty of Annie Besant—the Annie Besant who stood up in the English courts for a principle; the Annie Besant who led the Lendon mob; | the Annie Besant who organized the Lon- don matchgirls; the Annie Besant who has done more for the London masses than any other woman! No; all I can say is that she is being made the instrument of the inimical Hindoo hierarchy. “Why, Mr. Judge was for a quarter of a century a pupil of;Mme, Blavatsky. He is a man of untiring energy and has done more for theosophy than any other living man. He has at last come out, now that he has been forced to, and openly claims to be in occult communication with the | masters. Annie Besant has herself said | that she saw ‘the master’ in Mr. Judge. | He does not claim to be ‘the agent,’ but | merely ‘an agent’ of the masters.” It promises to be a battle of the gianfs. | Dr. Hartmann, who is at the head of the German theosophists, and who, Mr. | Keeney thinks, is the most profound | 'writer on occult subjects the age has pro- | duced, will in all probability be present to | defend Mr. Judge. The assailants number | among them such lights as Herbert Bur- | roughs, Bertram Keightley and George Meade, besides Mrs. Besant. Whether the | mahatmic messages ciaimed to have been received by Mr. Judge are genuine or coun- terfeit wifl doubtless still be a debatable | question after the battle in the coming oston convention has been fought to weariness. VENISON AS FOOD. Breeding Would Make Deer Meat Cheaper Than Beef and as Useful. ’ “Cheaper venison for American cities” is the subject of an interesting report to the State Department by Mr. Charles de Kay, United States Consul-General at Ber- lin. “The abundance and excellence of venison,” he says, “cannot fail to strike the attention of those who live in German cities. It isacommon dish practically ail the year round; its price is so moderate now and then. The reason for thisis that only the poorest classes fail to tastefiit | the high cultivation of forem("y and the care with which they are bred and protect- ed from poachers. Considering the excel- lence of venison as food and the small cost of rearing herds of deer under proper pro- tection, it is in America especiafiy that steps to form practical deer parks might be easy and of profit. In the neighborhood of great cities the supply of water has to be_regulated by the preservation of large districts of more or less mountainous, more or less woody country. In New York, for example, the Adirondacks and the watershed of the Cro- ton River are, orare to be, resérved for maons.affecting the water supply of New York City and of a large part of the State —directly or indirectly affecting it. Itis in such districts that the scientific breed- ing of deer might be carried on with small cost, relatively speaking. The annual killing and sale of animals of the proper sort would furnish an income far beyond the aggredgate of salaries for overseers, for- esters and guards. Of late the problem of imorovement on the indigenous red deer of Europe has oc- cupied various gentlemen in North Ger- many, among whom of special note is Herr ‘Winter, in Berlin. He has heen experi- menting for the last decade on the Ameri- can wapiti (Cervus major Americanus) as a cross on the small native red deer (Cer- vus elephas), in order to obtain a larger, heavier, more meaty animal, and thus increase the value of Prussia’s deer herds. Mr. Winter has been successful in every way. By removing the does of wapiti and supplying the red does with gouns wapiti stags only he obtained the desired cross. Between 1887 and 1890 he gained forty half-breed from such unions, and he now has eighty-six. They are regularly of very much greater size than the red deer. He has also proved that wapiti and red deer are related through their ancestry, because the half-breeds are not sterile, are not mules, but breed rapidly to red deer or to wapiti again. Wapiti were first brought to Europe in 1225, but did not do well in England or on the Continent. But some of them left half-breed de- scendants in Silesia, and in 1870 the late Emperor William . I. shot a stag of twenty-two_points, weighing 500: German pounds. Now, however, the certainty of the practical benefits of the cross has been demonstrated, and more wapiti are to be imported from America to still further enlarge the structure and strengthen the breed of the deer in North Germany. In the United States’ forests wild ani- mals have been cut off with a reeklessness which is bringing its own punishment, or has already brought evils. It seems well to call the attention of individuals, clubs, corgorntions and States to the folly of neglecting any longer the formation of parks, and furthermore to point out the way to a supply of food which is savory and can be made reasonably cheap. Large tracts of hill range and woodland, now ab- solutely necessary to the water systems of cities, must be carefully watched and guarded in any case. They might be stocked with wapiti and Virginia deer,and the herds then regularly decimated to sup- ly the markets with ‘wholesome food.— ashington Star. —————— Military Salutes in Europe. .
