8 THE SAN FRANCISCO ©CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 19, 1895. A PURE WHITE DEER SHOT. The Last of This Variety Killed Recently in Nevada County. IT IS NOW ON EXHIBITION. Held in Superstitious Reverence by the Indians—Nine Bullets in Its Body. The white buck of Nevada County, prob- ably the last of its kind in California, has fallen before a hunter’s gun. Its stuffed hide is on exhibition in Ladd’s gunstore. It was not an Indian hunter who killed it, for no red man would have dared to draw & bead upon the beautiful creature for fear of acurse falling upon his family and his tribe. The Indians in that locality believed that the white deer contained the spirit of one of their great and good chiefs and to kill it would bave been worse than mur- der. For several years the animal had been occasionally seen by the Indians in the mountains in various parts of the months past been propagated by Mr. Craw in numbers sufficient to satisfy the big demand of the suffevers from scale. The militant bugs are carefully placed in round wooden boxes about aninch and a half in diameter, and are distributed all over the State by the courtesy of Uncle Sam’s mail service. Arrived at their destination, the bugs are let loose on the soale-infested orchar: s, and they lose no time in attacking the scale. 'i'hey make their way up the tree, devouring the larva of the pest, and it is a foregone conclusion when the Vedalia cardinalis leaves a tree that every scale has been removed from it. Professor Koebele, the discoverer of the Vedalia cardinalis, has recently sentto Pro- fessor Grau several other insect scale- fighters from Australia, and their useful- ness is now being tested at several experi- mental stations inithe State. Thousands of colonies of ladybirds will be distributed this year, and ‘it is esti- mated that within a” few years they will have so thoroughly performed their work that hardly a scale insect will be found in the orchards of California. ANOTHER CONTEST BEGUN. Miss Sankey’s Relatives in the East Are Still Trouble- some. Miss Carrie Sankey, the heir to the San- key fortune, who for seven years has steadily battled in the courts to maintain her rights, is still waiting for her fortune to materialize. It will be recollected that her adopted father, Samuel Sankey, died nearly seven years ago, leaving vast realty THE SACRED WHITE DEE : Y, ol LV A R OF NEVADA COUNTY. <county, but they rarely spoke of it to the | whites, fearing the latter would start in pursuit. A few white men saw it, but | none were very desirous of taking its life | becanse of its beauty. It weighed about | sixty-five pounds and its hair and hide | were of pure white. Nearthe horns the hair was tinged with gray. Many years ago a white deer was seen in | Men docino County, but it was of a dingy] or yellowish white, but the Nevada County | buck was as white as snow. It required nine large Winchester bullets | to kill it.

From his | position on the hillside the hunter poured | shot after shot into the thicket whenever he could catch a glimpse of the white hide. The wounded creature was afraid to leave the bushes and make a run for shelter deeper in the mountains, and it was liter- ally burnt to death with hot lead. The last shot entered the heart, and when the hunter secured his prey he found thatnine | bullets had struck the ‘little creature. Its | vita vas remarkable. | The Tndians in Nevada County and | across the line in the State of Nevada | looked upon the white buck’s death as an | ill omen. The hunter was very careful in removing the skin to keep it perfect. He sent it to this City and had it mounted. e THE HEBREW ORPHANS. Extensive Improvements Being Made to the Asylum at Devisadero and Hayes Streets. All the contracts for new buildings and extension of the new structure of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum on Devisadera street, between Hayes and Grove, were signed this week and work on the founda- | tions begun yesterday. No time will now be lost in pushing the work to an early eompletion. As the building now stands it can accom- | modate about 100 children. When the new | additions are finished there will be ample | room for 250 orphans. As estimated at Ivrk:(’nL the improvements will cost at least $10,000. There is a new wing to be added to ths front on Devisadero street, which, when finished, will extend mnearly the whole length of the block. In the basement of the new wing will be a swimming-tank for the little boys, 20x18 | feet—large enough for them to learn how | to battle with the waves. In each corner of the tankroom will be a shower bath, under which the swimmers must get before taking the []vlunge. Adjoining it will be a spacious playroom, lavatories, dressing- . rooms and lunch and cloak rooms. The | old wing will be remadeled and will be |, used exclusively by the girls in recreation and for lavatories, etc. Away in the rear will be a coal storehouse and engine and boiler rooms. * On the first floor the old wing is dupli- cated with a dining-room 43x64 feet in the back, enlarged pantries and dining-rooms for small children, the superintendent and servants, Furtberin the rear will be the kitchen and storerooms and a bakery. The front building will contain on this floor the office, directors’ room, reception- rooms, schoolrooms, separate for boys and irls, wardr~Yes, dispensary, library and Eindergnmn. The second story will have three new dormitories for boys, with lavatories and anterooms. But the main feature will be a synagogue in the rear middle wing, - 64x43 feet in area. The top flooris used for dormitories, A brick building apart from the main structure is included in the contracts just let. This will be used as a boiler-room and laundry, having all the latest machinery . for washing and drrvmg clothes. On its upper floor there will be a printing office, a shoemaker’s and carpenter’s shop, where the elder boys will be taught trades. DISTRIBUTING LADYBIRDS. Entomologist Craw Is Daing This Work in Southern California. "'State Entomologist Alexander Craw is in the southern part of the Btate distributing ladybirds to fight the cottony cushion scale, the black scale and other horticul- tural pests which have been making the life of the farmer wretched. It is the annual distributing time at the Horticultural Bureau. The Vedalia car- dinalis, the Rhyzobius ventralis and possessions in California, Chicago and Pennsylvania. Miss S8ankey appeared in the courts as a claimant and established her right to in- herit his possessions, through the Supreme Court of the State. Sankey has a small army of sisters, cousins and aunts in Phila- delphia and Illinois, who have for seven years maintained an apparently intermin- able dispute over every dollar and every i foot of ground owned by the deceased. Quite recently several new suits were instituted in Pennsylvania by the hungry relatives, for no other agiarent ‘purpose than to prevent the rightful heir from gain- yers will therefore have several more legal battles to fi fim before their client will have peace from litigation. Miss Sankey is still with friends on Twenty-third “street, near Valencia, and hopes that within a few years her enemies will be vanquished forever. neys are doing everything possibie to re- lieve her financial embarrassment. FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT Witness Lee Sent to the County Jail by Coroner W. J. Hawkins. He Refused to Tell What He Knew About the Death of James Waldie. Coroner W. J. Hawkins and Witness Edward Lee had an aitercation yesterday, with the result that Lee is now in the County Jail for contempt in refusing to answer questions at an inquest. Lee got tired of close confinement in a few hours and offered to answer any and all questions. Bat the jury had been dis- missed, so Dr. Hawkins told him he could remain a guest of the City and County until Monday morning and decide finaliy upon his future course of action. On the 3d inst. James Waldie of the American Biscuit Company was suffocated by gas at his home, 3007 Fillmore street. Some one wrote a note to the Corpner in- sinuating that the deceased did not turn on the jets that filled the room and smoth- ered him. At the first sitting of the Coroner’s jury Lee refused to answer incriminating ques- tions until he had consulted his relatives. He was given until yesterday morning, at the request of tke jurors, but again refused to answer. “Do you know anything about this case?” asked the Coroner. “Yes, sir,” was the prompt reply. “I want to ask you one question. Can’t we ,find out who wrote that letter intimating that there was foul play?”’ “Your business here is to tell all you know about this case,” said the Coroner angrily. “You can do all the investigat- ing S}on please afterward. Do you know ‘li{xy? hing about the death of James Wal- ie?” “I decline to answer.” Coroner Hawkins at once ordered a writ Erepared to send Lee to jail for contempt, ut the witness and his attorney, who was present, entered a vigorous protest. Fin- ally the doctor made another attempt: “Mr. Lee, do you know of any one turning on the gas fhat caused the death of Mr. Waldie?”” *Idon’tknow. Ihave been acquainted with Jim for about twenty years.” “Do you suspect any one of having caused his death?” “I decline to answer that question on thle Crround that I might incriminate my- self.’” Dr. Hawkins at once gave up trying to get anything out of the witness, whom he committed to the County Jail for con- tempt. On Monday mornilg Lee will be given a chance to tell what he knows. ————— Bishop Walden’s Visit. _Bishop J. M. Walden, D.D., L.

Objections Advanced to the Ballot- ing and Competitive Examina- tion Systems. The Board of Education has at present under consideration the appointment of teachers, Three methods have been pro- posed: The first method is that each in- dividual member of the board shall, when a vacancy occurs upon the substitute list, appoint to the substitute list in turn. This is the individual appointment plan. The second proposition is, that when a vacancy occurs upon the substitute list, each member shall nominate one candidate for that position, and that the board shall ballot until some one candidate receives the majority vote. The third method pro- posed is that the appointment to all vacan- cies on the substitute list shall be deter- mined by competitive examination, the applicant having the highest standing to be appointed to the position. The first plan is considered to be the best, for the reason that when a member of the Board of Education makes an appoint- ment to the substitute class he is respon- sible for the s’.{mointment, and it is natural that he should be careful and appoint the very best applicant available to the posi- tion. The objection to the second plan is that the appointment might be controlled by a combination in the hoard. Seven mem- bers of the Board of Education could take to themselves all the patronage of the School Department, putting in their friends without regard to qualifications. The objection to the competitive plan is that a competitive examination does not test fitness to teach. The only thing par- tially tested is the scholarship of the appli- cant. The applicant’s ability to govern, her influence with the pupil, her methods of teaching, are not taken into considera- tion at all by a competitive examination. The only way to get good teachers is to have them appointed by individual mem- bers of the board in turn, each member being responsible for his own appointment, it being, of course, understood that the applicant has the proper certificate. The test of ability to govern, to teach and the influence of the teacher must be deter- mined by actual work in the schoolroom, under the supervision of the Surerintendent. and the principal of the school. The matter will be pursued further at future meetings of the Board of Education. HAWAI'S SWEET - MUSIC The Second Performance of the National Band a Success. Pretty Native Songs and Airs Fairly Charm the People Who Hear Them. A music-loving audience gathered last night in Metropolitan Hall to hear the sec- ond concert of the Hawaiian National band. Senor Jose 8. Libornio, the leader and manager of the band, had prepared a de- lightful programme and each piece was rendered with such delicacy and precision as to captivate the audience. Encores were plentiful and Senor Libornio’s people were not slow in responding to the calls, Over the stage hung an American flag, while by its side was stretched Hawaii’s emblem. The stage costume of the Ha- waiians is neat and attractive, consisting pared for to-night and those who attend ;:nlxl: be assured of a rare musical treat as lollows: March, “Zacatecas” (Codina); overture, “‘Sem- iramide” (Rossing); aix o e Birater (Bellin; grand fantasie, « i,” saxophone solo, (Libornio) ; mu-ctmw%.x‘;guu."

Many Frenchmen nowadays live in Brus- sels, some because they find it convenient to quit their native country, others be- cause Brussels, while wonderfully like Paris, is as yet far less expensive a place to live in, This being so, the telephone be- tween the French and Belgian capitals is extremely important, and one of the more go-ahead of the Parisian newspapers has hit upon the device of publishing ‘“inter- views by telephone” witg celebrities across the frontier.” These interviews differ in nothing from interviews obtained in the usual way, Thus, in one of them a poli- tician was asked by his interviewer, *‘What do you intend to do?” and the account thus continues, “Why, I shall simply watch events,” he rephed, rubbing his hands. People are now wondering how the telephone has been brought to such per- fection that & man can heard rubbing his hands hundreds of miles away.—Lon- don News, CHK SHOTS 0 MEET, Militiamen of Marysville and San Francisco Will Con- test To-Day. Royal Entertalnment Accorded the Visitors by the People of the Northern City. MARYSVILLE, CaL., May 18.—Exten- sive preparations have been made for the challenge rifle contest to-morrow between fifty members of the City Guard of San Francisco (Company B, First Infantry) and a like number of marksmen from the local militia organization, Company C of the Eighth. Excursion trains are being run to this point from ail the surrounding country and the forerunners of the ex- pected crowd are already beginning to arrive, Thirty-three men of the City Guard ar- rived here late last night uunder the com- mand of Captain Irving B. Cook. Not- withstanding the lateness of the hour, they ‘were met at the station by the whole local company in uniform and countless num- bers of maidens and escorted to the armory at the corner of A and Third streets, whence they were detailed in squads to the best hotels in the city. Bright and early this morning the visit- ors were astir, and the whole day was put in in practice on the range. The scores made in the practice were well up to the average of the company, notwithstandiug the fact that the range is a strange one. Many members of the local company watched the visitors at practice, and the good scores caused considerable comment. Great interest is taken in the result of the match, and Marysville men seem confideut of winning, but Captain Cook says his men will hold their own. The remainder of the San Francisco team will arrive early to- morrow. There will be sixty men in all, though only fifty are to shoot, the extra ten men being brought along as substitutes iu case any of the regular team should be indisposed. Many members of militia companies stationed at Oroville, Woodland and Chico are here to witness the contest, and not a few bets have been made on the result. A large party of San Franciscans, including several ladies, came up to cheer the troops to-morrow. FIELD DAY AT TACOMA. Whitworth College Wins the Western Washington Intercollegiate Match. TACOMA, Wasn., May 18. — The teams of Whitworth College of Sumner, the State | University of Seattie, Vashnon College of of white pantaloons, dark-blue sack coat and tan shoes. They are an interesting people and their thoroughness as musicians was fully appreciated. The first piece on the programme was a march, “Distant Greeting,” by Doring, which was particularly well executed. Rosas’ “Sobre Las Olas,” the tuneful Spanish waltz, was rendered with a nice feeling for that kind of music, and received hearty applause. The Hawaiian songs, however, proved the greatest attraction. They are soft and pathetic, and yet of such rounded volume as to fill_the listener with a desire for more. “Markai Ka Makani o Kohala” (Hawaiian breeze) is a pretty native song, and was well rendered by the chorus. The opens in a soothing sort of way and gradually grows in volume and sweetness, until the whole building is filled with weird musical sounds. Another pretty song was “The Windmill,”’ though it was hardly equal to the love ditty, “My Heart Is Dying for Thee.” The remainder of last night's programme was as follows: A Medley, “A Night in New York” (Brooks); polka, “Through the Air” (Damm); piccolo solo, M. Ke: i; mazurka, a- waifen National Band” (Libornio): grand march, “Kaimana Hila,” with songs (Libornio). The piccolo solo of M. Kealakai was so well received that he was compelled to respond. For an encore he played a com- position of his own, 3 There are forty musicians in the band, the instraments being divided as follow: Fabbots, two; flutes, two; barytone, three; piccolo, one; saxophone, two; clarionet, seven; - trombone, three; oboe (human voice), one; cornet, five: tuba, two; alto, three; tenor, two; drums, two.

CLEVER BERKELEY BOYS, The Wearers of the Blue and Gold Easily Tie the Quakers. FACH SCORE SEVEN POINTS. Eleven Californians Virtually De~ feat Twenty - Five Crack Pennsylvanians. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 18.—This afternoon the crack athletic teams of the universities of California and Pennsylvania met in dual championship games. Dr. Beverly Cole sported the blue and gold in the audience, while the Governor, Mayor and other Pennsylvania notables waved the blue and red. The California bear and the Pennsylvania Quaker tussled for two hours, and, though neither overthrew the other, the bear had the better of the con- flict. Last night it rained heavily, this morning the sky was threatening, but this afternoon the sun peeped out smilingly upon the Californians. The games were held upon the new athletic grounds of the university—Franklin field. The newness of the track ana the rain detracted from it, and the records were otherwise splendid. When the U. C. team first came East Pennsylvania conceded them one event out of fourteen in the duel. After the Princeton victory they conceded them a possible four. The Californians claimed nothing, but promised to do their best. There were fourteen events. A first place counted one. The Californians bhav- ing no vaulter, could only contest for thirteen points. They won seven, and they had eleven men to Pennsylvania’s twenty-five. The 100-yard dash was the first event. The Pennsylvania men secured the fastest starts. Barnes (U. C.) passed Scoggins (U. C.) and Judd (U. P.) at the fifty-yard mark, but failed to catch Bucholz (U. P.), who won by a foot in 10 1-5 sec. Score: Pennsylvania 1, California 0. The shotput was soon over, Knipe (Penn- sylvania) winning from Koch (U, C.), with 40 feet 8 inches. Score: Pennsylvania 2, U.C.0. L The half-mile ran was a loafing race, being conceded to Orton (Pennsylvania). Bradley (U. C.) paced out the distance; but Sichel (Pennsylvania) ran second. Time, 2 min. 8 sec. Score: Pennsylvania 3, U. C. 0. Dyer and Torrey, thé U. C. hurdle team, came in one-two in a beautiful race over the high hurdles. Dyer, who is running in magnificent form, won, without touch- ing a hurdle, in 16 1-5 sec. Score: Penn- sylvania 3, U. C. 1. The high jump furnished fine sport be- tween Captain Koch (U. C.) and Winsor (Pennsylvania). Patterson (U. C.) went to pieces, failing at 5 feet and 10 inches, Koch cleared 5 feet 10} inches, and Win- sor won with a magnificentleap of 5 feet 11 inches. Score: Pennsylvania4,U.C.1. The mile walk was one of the closest events of the day. Merwin, U. C., led off the first lap with a fine spurt. Fetterman, Pa., caught him on the third lap and stuck by bim to the last. The two sprinted up to the very top, when the Californian won by four inches. Time, 7 min. 37 sec. Score: Pennsylvania 4, U. C. 2. ‘Woolsey, U. C., easily won the broad jump with 21 feet 3}4 inches. Bucholz, Pa., was second. Woolsey rose well, and could have cleared a greater distance if pushed. Score: Pennsylvania 4, U. C. 3. The 220-yard dash wasa grand race from start to finish. Barnes and Scoggins, the California pair, were beaten at the start— and, by the by, the Easterners got the start of the Western men every time—but they had plenty of room in which to over- haul the Pennsylvania men, and they did it. Barnes, who is running like a little demon, won in 22 3-5 sec.—remarkably fast time for such a slow-curved track. This breaks the U. C. record. Sctoggins was a good second. Score: Pennsylvania 4, U.C. 4. The U. C. had no entry in the pole-vault. Bucholz beat out Stewart with 10 feet 10 inches. Score: Pennsylvania 5, U.C. 4. The U. C. also had no contestant in the mile run. Jarvis wen from Oremin in 4 min. 57 sec. Bcore: Pennsylvania 6, U.C. 4. The low hurdle race followed and was an easy victory for the California pair. Tor- rey won from Dyer by a yard in 26 1- 5 sec- onds, breaking the U. C. record. Score: Pennsylvania 6, U. C. 5. 0Osgood, Pennsylvania, led off the bicycle race in fine style, Dozier (U. C.) following, but on the third lap the Californian was taken with a cramp in the leg, which put him out of the race. It was a great pity, for Dozier was sure to have ridden a fast race, and for grit he has noequal. Osgood won in 5 min. 37sec. Score: Pennsylvania 7, U.C. 5. Edgren, U. C., easily won the hammer throw with 116 feet from Cressinger of Pennsylvania. Score: Pennsylvania 7, U.C.6. There was now but one event, the 440- yard dash, and upon that depended the day. Barnes was too sick to run, Koch had a cold, and then his record was only 5115 seconds, while Sterrett of Pennsyl- vania had run in 503-5 seconds. The Quakers, sure of the race, were ready to back Sterrett with §500. Koch went up on the scratch, simply saying that he would try to do his best. Sterrett led by ten yards at the end of the first furlong. Then Koch forged ahead, taking the lead fifty yards from home, winning as he pleased in 534-5 seconds. Score: Pennsylvania 7, University of California 7. Eleven men of the California team virtu- ally defeated twenty-five men of the Penn- sylvania team, the greatest track team in America.

LO8 ANGELTS, CAn., May 18.—Fritz Lacey, a local rider, to-day lowered the twenty-five-mile competition race world's record, held by L. S. Meintjes, made at Chicago August 12, 1804. Lacey’s time was 1:0 3-5. Therecord made by Meintjes was 1:04:34 3-5. The race was under the auspices of the training | league of the Los Angeles Wheelmen. Emil Ulbricht was second and claimed | an unjust decision lost him the race, Tha track was in excellent condition and the weather fine. There were five starters: Fritz Lacy, Emil Ulbricht, Godfréy Schmidt, William Hatton and William M. Jenkins. Hatton and Jenkins fell out and the others finished in the order named. For some unaccountable reason Foster did not start, The riders were paced by a tandem with three reliefs. Ulbricht’s complaint of an unjust de- cision appears to be entirely groundless, as he failed to fake advantage of hisonly opportunity to command the pacemakers, which occurred in the twelfth mile. In- stead of taking the pole behind the pace- makers, he rode to the right, and as Lacey | held the pole, the pacemakers were under his instructions. Schmidt, in going into the homestretch, had an excellent opportunity of getting second place, but he struck Lacey’s pedal and fell in a heap. The time for the first mile was 2:17%, for the fifth 11:45, tenth 24:314-5, fifteenth 87:19}4, twentieth 50:04 1-5 and jtwenty- fifth 1 hour 3 min. 6 3-5 sec. Lacey’s work is highly commendable, as he rode a road wheel instead of a racer. PO e Yale Wins the Dual Games. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 18.—Yale won the dual games from Harvard this after- noon, scoring 65 points to the crimson’s 47. The afternoon was cold and gloomy and the track a little heavy. Captain Hickok outdid himself by breaking the dual rec- ords for the shot and hammer events by a wide margin and bettering the intercol- legiate records as well in the same events. In the pole vault young Billy Hoyt of Harvard cleared 11 feet, which is higher than the intercollegiate record by a good margin. Yale Defeats Princecton.
