Blank cartridges will be used, sharpshooters placed on duty, at- tacks be made, wounded soldiers carried off | the field and all orders executed as would be done in actual battle. The military exercises having been com- leted, the Governor will be tendered an informal reception by the faculty and stu- dents of Harmon gymnasium in honor of his success in reaching the gubernatorial chair and in appreciation of his having signed the bill appropriating $250,000 to be used for the purpose of erecting a building for the affiliated colleges.

As the vessel neared the reef the anchor was let go and the bark held on. All through the night a watch was kept on the reef.

This drill will be competitive among the companies of the corps for the prize colors now carried by Company D.

NOT 70 TOUR TOGETHER Professor Herron and Lau- rence Gronlund Deny the Report. The Collectivist Says He Will Stay | on the Coast for Two Years. The story that Professor Herron and Laurence Gronlund, the socialist, would start soon upon a lecturing tour together, and ultimately demonstrate the practica- bility of their sociological doctrines by the establishment of some co-operative sys- tem, is denied by both. “There is nothing in that at all,”’ Pro- fessor Herron said, after he had talked for an hour to a meeting at the First Congre- gational Church of Oakland yesterday | afternoon. ‘“No, not even the most re- mote probability of anything of the kind. I shall simply go on as I have been doing, feeling that there is a necessity for the work I am engaged in, and I suppose the same can be said of Mr. Gronlund, who, by the way, I noticed in the audience.” He was not given an opportunity to ex- plain further, as Pastor McLean thought he needed rest so as to be fitted for the evening meeting. Laurence Gronlund, when found later in the day quietly enjoying some refresh- ments at his present Oakland domicile, talked freely. He showed how any such united endeavor was quite cut of the ques- tion in the following characteristic manner: | ““On, no; that is not true. You see, Pro- fessor Herron is simply a critic. His work | has nothing to do with construction. My work, however, is of a constructive nature rather than one of mere criticism. Of course Professor Herron is doing a great deal of good in his_particular line—a very necessnrly work. What he is aiming at is practical Christianity. The difference be- tween us is that his theory embraces Jesus Christ as an_essential quantity in socio- logical consideration, whereas mine does not. He labors for pure ethics; I deal with economics entirely.” The prospects are that the two reformers will find their respective labors carrying them far apart from now on. Mr. Gron- lund says he thinks he will stay on the Coast for two years, because he regards California as *‘the most promising, State in the Union for his theories.” ‘i’{e is to lecture at the “Manse,” in Oakland, next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and later on is booked for a talk in the Central Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, having been invited to do so, he says, by Rev. E. R. Dille. Professor Herron goes to Los Angeles from here, will return as far as Alameda and will then respond to an invitation to lecture in Portland, Or, After that he will pay one more visit to this city, to address a big meetinf in Metropolitan Temple. Then he will go back East. “What probably gave rise to the story that we were about to work together,” ex- plained Mr. Gronlund, “‘was the friendly interest Professor Herron seemed to take in the Fabian elubs which I have been starting in different places. These clubs are for purposes of sociological discussion and propaganda, and Professor Herron has recommended people to join them. I have just returned from Southern Califor- nia, where we organized one of these clubs in Los Angeles, and another in San Diego. The Pomona College has now such a club, with about 100 members in it.” —————— Cottonseed hulls and meal, it is claimed by Southern cattlemen, are a more economi- ical food than the grains fed in the West. ——— BiLL Nye was last seen smiling behind Almighty-dollar Cigar. | newal of her first-grade certificate; e certificates of the renewed: | following-named teachers be | Misses Lillie Cashin, A.

Foley and Miss | Josephine 2 -Cracken were withdrawn. | Mr. Murdock moved in this connection | that certificates be granted to all as recom- | mended, save the teachers of cooking. He did not think the examination had been thorough enough. | _This brought a statement from Assistant Superintendent Babcock. He said that | he thought Mr. Murdock had received his | information about the examinations from a disgruntled teacher of cooking who had not herself passed any examination, but had en- | tered the department before examinations | were called for, and upon a certificate from | some foreign school. She had become | piqued because she had not been consulted 1n the matter of the questions. She and several other teacaers were teaching with- out having passed the examinations re- | quired by the rules. | ~ Director Clinton thought this a very seri- | ous matter, and said he would bring the matter before the proper committee for | consideration. | The finance committee submitted its estimate of the amount of money which will be required to meet the expenses of | the public school department of the city during the fiscal year of 1895-96. The total amount was $1,136,370. Among | the items $890,000 was called for teachers’ salaries, $23,000 for permanent improve- ments, $17,500 for new school lots and $75,000 for the ercction of school houses. The Committee on Finance reported with regard to the proposed Noe Valley School that it would be inadvisable {to build a mnew school in that district separate and apart from the James Lick School, and offered a resolution that the Board of Bupervisors be requested | to purchase a lot adjoining the lot of the | James Lick Grammar School, not to ex- | ceed $6000 in price, and erect an eight- class school building upon the same, to make a part of the Lick Grammar School. Further, it was suggested that the Edison | Primary School would accommodate any | overflow from the James Lick school. | The Committee on Classification recom- | mended that a new class be opened in the | Columbia Grammar Bchool; that the City | Board of Examination be requested to con- | duct the examination of students in the San Francisco Normal BSchool at_ the | close of the school year; that Miss | Rose Tompkins, assistant teacher in the Redding Primary School, be transferred to the Haight Primary School, to take effect on May 2; that the board deny the application of certain young ladies claim- ing to be entitled to_appointments to the day substitute class in consequence of their having been among those who stood the highest in the competitive examination of graduates of the Normal Department of the Girls’ High School, held April 25, 1894; that the application of Mrs. May E. Rise for the assignment to a position as teacher in the department be denied. It seems that Mrs. Risa was in Decem- ber, 1891, granted an indefinite leave of absence from the department. The com- mittee considered that such a long volun- tary absence from her duties was equiva- lent to a resignation. ¥ : It was resolved that Miss Harriet M. Fairchild should be paid the sum of $2663 45 for services as principal teacher of the Potrero Primary School and the Lafayette Primary School from July 1, , to April 1, 1895, the said amount being _the difference between the amount received by her and the amount awarded to her by a judgment of the Supreme Court of this State, filed April 5, 1895; also that she be paid the sum of $31, the same being the amount of costs in_the action entitled Harriet M. Fairchild vs. the Board of Education. The Committee on Industry submi-ted a resolution, which was adopted, that the City and County Attorney be requested to ive his opinion os_to the right of the anrd to order that Harriet M. Fairchild rincipal of the primary school at a salary of $150 per month. A report of the Committee on Rules was read by Director Murdock and signed by Director Stone with him discussing the amendments to the rules offered by Di- rectors Clinton and McElroy as to theelec- tion of teachers. Director Clinton’s amendment proposes an increase of the number of teachers, to be taken from the graduates of each nor- mal school class, from six to twelve, This was opposed. The other of Director Clinton’s amendments was to change from the present board of univer- sity professors as the judges of the com- petitive examination to the city board of examination, relieving the university pro- fessors of that duty. The substitute Yroposed bg Director Mc- Elroy abolishes altogether the competitive examination and substitutes the direct election by tbe board. The report on this subject says: In our judgment this method is danger- ous and not calculated to promote the best interests of the department. It has been tried for years and has brought disrepute and, in some_instances, disgrace upon the Board of Education. Regarding it one of our most experienced principals writes: The individual appointment system, in addition to being the surest place by which to obtain bad teachers, is also a method by which scoundrels and corruptionists may besmirch and brand entire boards or entire school departments. X The competititive examination plan is urged as the best, with hopes expressed that it be given a trial. This whole matter of the rules was held over until next meeting. . Owing to the absence from the city of President Dodge a resolution was offered by Director Stone that Director Scott be chosen president pro tempore. 1t was adopted. A resolution that the Board of Super- visors be requested to have their architect prepare plans for the erection of an eight- class primary school building on the school lot situated on Haight street, west of Scott, was adopted. Wednesday, May 1, was declared a holi- day in the public schools. % THEIR GRAND DIVISIN. Sons of Temperance Hold an Annual Session in This City. remain in the position of Encouraging Reports Are Read and Grand Officers Elected. The forty-fifth annunal session of the Grand Division, Sons of Temperance, con- vened in this city on Tuesday at Pythian Hall. There was a good attendance of dele- gates from the several county divisions, also from Oakland and San Francisco. The session throughout was a busy one, and necessarily a late one, as all the busi- ness was crowded into one day, but the utmost good feeling prevailed. The reports were on the whole encour- aging, in spite of the fact that the order in this State has suffered, with all others, under the financial depression, but the society hopes to be able to increase its membership largely this coming year by sending an able and efficient lecturer into the field. During the session several resolutions were passed to be presented to the Na- tional Division, which, if accepted by that body, will materiaily help the order on this coast. The following officers were elected and installed: Robert J. Hunter, grand worthy patriarch; Mary A. M. G. Sharp, grand worthy associate; Jessie C. Duncan, grand | seribe; William J. Grant, grand treasurer; ‘William Crowhurst, grand chaplain; B. C. Duffy, grand conductor; . Huie, grand sentinel. Trustees—D. Hobson, H. C. Newman, T. F. Hatton, J. Humphreys, W. H. Hutchinson. At the close of the session, P. G, W. P. William _Crowhurst and P. G. W. A, Thomas Hatton were presented with Na- tional Division regalias. VETERAN POLICE SKETOHES. Sergeant Cornelius Martin was born in Fermanagh County, Ireland, on December 17,1827. When a child he came to Albany, | State of New York, and remained there | till ne was 16 years of age, when he went to New York City and learned the trade of a bricklayer and plasterer. He was in the South for two or three years and landed in this city on February 15, 1854. He joined the police force on July 23, 1856, but retired on November 19, wken he went to Mare Island and worked for the Govern- ment. He was among the first gang of bricklayers that worked there during Com- mander Farragat’s time. He again joined the police force on August 1, 1865, and was appointed sergeant on December 27, 1878, since when he has filled the position of hack inspector. HENRY RITZAU DEAD. He Once Conducted a Band for the Gov- ernor-General of India. .Hemjy Ritzau, a veteran musician of this city, died last night at his residence on Ringold street. For nearly two decades he had made melody for San Franciscans, and ten years ago his was among the noted bands of this coast. His son Louis succeeded, however, to his baton, and still ;;nmgiuma the musical reputation of the family. The deceased was a native of Hanover, Germany. At an early age he began to travel, and at one time {e led the band of a Governor-General in India. Later he conducted the Imperial band in St. Peters- burg. For about seventeen years he re- sided in this city. Mr. Ritzau was a member of the Musi- cians’ Mutual Protective Association and of Germania Lodge No. 7,0. D. H. S.

DIRECTOR WHITTIER LEAVES. Work Lald Out by the Direc- tors Keeps Employes Occupied. The valley road directors transacted so much business at their last meeting on Tuesday that the secretary and his assist- ant, the chief engineer and committees will be kept busy for a week at least at- tending to details. All day yesterday Secretary Mackie was engrossed with specifications for loco- motives and cars, certificates of stock and communications from manufacturers and citizens’ committees in the San Joaquin Valley. The number of applications for positions of all kinds has grown so large that each name has to be indexed. The letters themselves fill alarge box. Such a great variety of workmen, engineers, firemen, switchmen, conductors, brakemen, track- men, etc., have offered their services itisa settled fact now that the valley road can, ata day’s notice, have all the assistance necessary to operate the line from Stock- ton to Bakersfield. Some local car manufacturers have asked for information about the flat and box cars to be ordered. They were informed that as soon as specifications were printed they would be given an opportunity to bid upon the work and that the local makers would bfilf:\\‘ored if their estimates were reason- able. Director Whittier left with .his family last evening for a tour of Europe. He will be missed by the board of directors, as he was a very active and enthusiastic worker in the interests of the railway enterprise. It is not known yet how long he will re- main away, but, if his stay should be pro- longed, very likely another representative man will be chosen from the commercial community to take his place in shaping the valley road’s destinies. Chief Engineer Storey was in Stockton yes- terday lookingover the ground surveyed. He will be there two days, in which time much valuable work will be transacted in connection with building the read, rights’ of way, drawbridges, depot matters and agreements with the Stockton Citizens’ Association. But until the board of directors meets again every officer of the line will have his hands full ofjthe details of Tuesday’s ses- sion. MIDWEEK THEATER OTES Tilley Morrisey Still the At- traction at the Or- pheum. “ A Country Sport” Nearing Its End at the California Theater. Peter F. Daley and his merry company of comedians continue to fill the California Theater every night. The new songs and other work that are introduced this week have given some novelty to the perform- ance, especially Andrew Marks’ new song called *-Broken Hearts.” The last performance of a ‘“Country Sport” takes place on Sunday evening. “An American Girl,” under the direction of George Osbourne, is to open at the Cali- fornia Theater on Monday:night. Stockwell's Theater. “Fritz in a Madhouse” is nearing the end of its run at Stockwell’s Theater, and it is proving popular. The sprightly act- ing, met to speak of the yodeling and dancing of Emmet, pleases both chil- dren and adults, while the knights’ service rendered by Harry Liston and Baby Sin- not go as far to enhance the performance of the star actor. After this week the theater will be closed for the alterations that will be made before its reopening as the Columbia. "Little Robinson Crusoe.” Wilson and Hirschbach’s extravaganza is bringing out the versatility of the stock company at the Tivoli. The songs and dances go with a good swing, and Friday’s witticisms provoke considerable laughter, though several of this genial savage’s scenes would bear a little cutting. Morosco's Opera-House. A “Barrel of Money’’ at Morosco’s con- tinues to draw well.” Itis an acceptable change from melodrama, and most of the parts are weil sustained. Roxy is a pretty role, prettily acted, partaking more of the ingenue than the soubrette. Little more than a child she has all a child’s insouci- ance—she slides down the baluster and stumbles up the stairs and keeps the audi- ence in good humor all through. Jim is an impossible character of the Weary Raggles type, only more so. The Orphenm. Miss Tillie Morrissey still continues to be the ruling attraction at the Orpheum. The witticisms of the Bards of Tara have also caught on with the general public, and all last week’s performers are winning the usual amount of applause. The Water Carnival. ‘The ballet and aquatic attractions of the ‘Water Carnival continue to be as popular as ever. The Macdonough. “The Girl I Left Behind Me” comes to the Macdonough next Monday for three nights. OLYMPIC GUN CLUB. It Will Lease Ten Thousand Acres of Land Surrounding Lagunitas Creek. The recently organized gun club, com- posed of members of the Olympic Club, met last evening in the wheelmen’s depart- ment of that club and discussed at length the question of leasing several acres of land for shooting and fishing purposes. After several fi:opositions had been sub- mitted by members the club decided to al- low the executive committee, composed of Menton C, Allen, L. D. Owens, H. H. White, . C. QGolcher and George Jackson, to confer with J. K. Orr, who is acting for Charles Webb Howard, with a view of leasing that part of Marin County known as the Howard estate, situ- ated on the line of the North Pacific Coast Railroad. The lands sought after included about 10,000 acres, and takes in that part of the country through which the beautful La- gunitas Creek flows. The committee has been instructed to accept the offer made the club, and to close the lease immediately for a term of five years, with a renewal at the expiration of that time. The secretary stated that the terms of agreement, being of a private nature, will not be made public, but it is sufficient to say tl;n:hthfie l{mpic Gm;nl (iiln)!: will have me of the finest game and fish preserves ?n the State a hwg;nrs hence. .

Anglers who are not members of the Club of One Hundred Sportsmen will in future have to wish their favorite fishing stream a sad farewell. Yet the stocking and preserving of. the Laguinitas will vastly improve the ten miles of fishing water, which is commonly known as the Paper-mill Creek. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
