There are but few people in this State who know that “hashish,” the opium of | Arabia, is raised, prepared, smoked and | eaten in California the same as along the | eastern shores of the Mediterranean and MQDEL YACHT REGATTA AT BROOKLYN BASIN, [Sketched for the “Call” by Coulter.) was shooting and otherwise attempting to make some noise and do some damage on the coming Fourth of July. The combination of boy and gun was fast becoming a nuisance to the neighbor- hood and his mother took steps to sup- vress it. This maternal interference an- gered the lad and he attempted to assault his mother with a loaded revolver. He was prevented from using his deadly weapon and when the police officers were convey- ing their prisoner to the station he fought like a wildeat. He refused to take the public press into | his confidence and inforraed the reporters that he was ““dead 'mnext to them and wanted no guff wi' de newspaper gang, seel” After his arrest his mother annoyed the police trying to beg her precious son off, and making excuses for his conduct. The Second Artillery Regiment, N. G. C., with Colonel Macdonald at its head, and Daniel Craig, the Peter Jackson of the reg- iment, nobly defending the rear, re- turned yesterday. The young soldiers looked tanned and dusty, but preserved a martial bearing and a sort of *‘marching- home-again” stride as they came off the Tiburon ferry. A regatta of about fifteen miniature yachts was held at Brooklyn Basin, East Oakland, yesterday. The trim little sail- ers were in good shape and with the brisk breeze blowing skimmed across the water like vessels of larger growth. Only seven boats made recorded time, the others either drifting out of the course to leeward, and still others running up in the wind and going over on theother tack, and consequently becoming distanced by yawing about with their tillers set at a wrong angle. The race was won by the Mikado, a 36- inch junk, owned and rigzed by J. Cousins, engineer of the tug Governor Perkins. She lay up in the wind like a steamer, her pe- culiar flat, battened sail holding her high in the course. She made the seven-eighths mile distance in six minutes and five seconds. The next fastest time was seven minutes fifty sec- onds by Captain J. McFarlan®s 33-inch sloop Mabel. The 31-inch sloop Valkyrien, owned by Mr. Murray, made the timein nine minutes. The Mamie, a 28-inch sloop, ran the course in nine minutes one sec- ond, while the sloops Ragmuffin and De- fender made it in nine minutes twenty seconds. The 42-inch sloop Bells of Shan- don made good time and sailed well. The sloops Forty-niner and Mabel will race next Sunday week for $20 aside. M 0L BDTBLICK'S D Strayed Away from the Alms- house and Fell Down and Died. His Decaplitated Remains First Dis- covered—The Skull Found Yesterday. Poor old John J. Eagan! The full, round day of life had been his, and when Lis sun sank down through the red mists into the far western sea he went to sleep. It was that long sleep, the pleasant dreams of which are popularly supposed to have no ending. His skull was found yesterday by an inmate of the Almshouse. It was no soft bed, with white counter- pane, that bore his sinking, decrepid form when his eyes closed in death—nothing but the cold, hard bosom of mother earth receiving back the dust which it had given for one brief sse!l of sweet existence, the three score and ten years which is said to be the life of man. He had seen ups and downs in his time and had attained what?—a few nickels and dimes for blacking shoes! Seventy years old and a bootblack! Finally an inmate of the County Almshouse. On May 30 Eagan strayed away from the Almshouse and nobody knew what had become of him. His disappearance re- mained a mystery until June 13, when E. R. O'Neill, a miner, living at the Alms- house, chanced to go down the gulch and into the brush about a mile to the south- eastward, and there he discovered the de- composed remains of the lost unfortunate, He found the body, but not the head at that time, but another search yesterday broughtthe skull to light. At the Coroner’s office it wasnot thought surprising that Eagan’s body should have been decapitated. That was attributed to a ss of nature—the Srpccu of decom- position—and as the head is said to have a greater specific gravity than the trunk in case of death it naturally rolled away some distance down the slope after parting from the bodg'. The theory of Eagan’s death is that he wandered around until he became ex- hausted, and then fell down and died. He was a native of Ireland. —————— Pro Club Benefit, The Press Club benefit will be one of the most interesting events that have been offered | captain, David W. Dean; president, C. H.

Of a Florentine Design and to Be Quite*an Esthetic Building. The excavation is about finished and the contract for the superstructure let for the new parochial residence of St. Teresa’s Church at the Potrero. This new home for Rev. P. 0’Connell and his assistant, Rev. A. Petinelli, will occupy the site of the old one on Tennessee Red seas. This astonishing information was made public yesterday by S. A. Nahon at the Board of Trade rooms, 575 Market street. Mr. Nahon is an expert on tobacco, and he is looking around for a favorable local- ity where he can secure about forty acres of good tobacco land, for he asserts that California soil will produce better leaf and wrapper than any outside of Cuba. When he secures the land he will also devote con- siderable time and attention to the raising of India hemp, from which hashish is made. Mr. Nahon was born at Gibraltar, and has handled tobaceo all his life. ‘While traveling for business and pleas- ure in Egyrt, Arabia and Turkey he had considerable experience in the hashish line. Since his sojourn in California he has founa that hemg is raised and used for the same purpose by a number of Turks and Arabs who have located a few miles out from Stockton. The plant from which the seductive drug is made is almost as familiar.to the publie as wheat, wirtich it greatly resembles. Its fibrous bark is used for cheap cloth, canvas and rope, and its seed is known to every one who owns a canary bird. But its medicinal properties are not so well known to the people. Itisa hardy plant and grows in the same manner as wheat. “When the crop is ripe,” said Mr. Nahon, “thejArabsjand Egyptians knock street, just back of the church which faces on Butte street, and is to be arather esthetic building. It is to costabout $7000 altogether. The plans were drawn by Architects Ma-~ honey & Ryland. Its design isthatofa Florentine villa, two stories high, with marble steps and concrete foundation, and altogether it will contain fourteen rooms. The windows are to be of French plate glass. The ladies of St. Teresa's Church are ar- ranging to carget and furnish it as soon as completed. All the woodwork is to be of oak, and it will be fitted up with every modern convenience. At the rate the work is_being pushed it will not be very iong before it will be ready for occupancy. Father O’Connell intends to send to New York for a missionary, and hopes to have a mission started in the Potrero in a few months. The 8t. Teresa's Hall Association is pre- paring for an entertainment for July 3, the proceeds of which are to go toward pro- viding hall accommodations for the various Catholic societies there. Arrival of the Coptlc. The Pacific Meil steamship Coptic arrived yesterday evening seventeen days from Yoko- hama, Among her cabin passengers were J. Macdonald and family, also c-ms:ln ‘Webber, late of the Chinese marine service. the seed from the husk. The seed is sold for bird food. The husk that holds the seed is chopped up by the hashish-smokers until it is about as fine' as granulated to- bacco. Itis mixed with the latter weed. A pinch about the size of a large pea is put in the smoker’s little red clay pipe and lighted. He takes three or four draws at the stem and sucks every bit of smoke into his lungs and lets it slowly escape through his nose. b ‘“‘In a few minutes he begins to feel the effect of the drug. He closes his eyes and the world fades away. His spirit is in a new realm—a paradise. Beautiful women and lovely maidens surround him. “The air is filled with melody and is odorous with delicate perfumes. Birds of brilliant piumage fly among the trees, the boughs of which are laden with blossoms and luscious fruits. The dreamer is in an Oriental heaven. Minutes are prolonged to hours, and evarihonr is an eternity of bliss. Atlast heislulled into a ful sleep by the music of his imagination. This sleep lasts from three to four hours, n:d when t‘}i‘e .dr&lmsr awakes :t is :fith the regret 3 e dream is not a t) and ufi;t all life is not a dream. ol v “I know of whet I speak, for I have miloel:led ‘kiff,” as the smoking mixture called. <1 have also eaten hashish and the _effects are about the same. In preparin, hashish the Arabs pulverize leaves that grow near the head. This fine stuff is then mixed with small seeds the Spaniards call conjoli, butter and honey. This paste is made into small cakes and eaten the same as any confection. In a short time the drug begins to operate and the hashish-eater gently passes into the land of dreams. “‘The after-effects of eating hashish are something terrible. The eyes become ‘bloodshot and swollen and excruciating ains are felt at the base of the brain. In urkey, Egypt, and Arabia high and low are addicted to'the habit the same as the Malay and Chinese to opium. *“1t'is used in another way. The desert Arabs grind the leaves to a powder, which they swallow with a mouthful of water. This produces a different effect, for the fellows become as wild beasts and run amuck. It is dangerous for an European to meet one of these desert Arabs while theé drug is acting on him. The Dervishes grow so wild that many instances are told of where they literally tore their horses and camels to pieces and devoured the tlesh while the animals were yet alive.” Mr. Nahon states that the extract of hemp in the liquid form produces similar effects to hashish-eating. The American ex- tract is worth 65 cents an ounce and the Engiisi and Indian sells for 75 cents. The extract is easily made and consequently the growing of hemp for this purpose is very profitable. Vhile looking into this supject as a pos- sible industry Mr. Nahon learned that the Arabs and Armenians or Turks are grow- ing twenty acres of hemp near Stockton. They tell the farmers that it is for bird seed, but that is not all. They make and smoke kiff and send large quantities of hashish to this City for the use of the Turks and Arabs here, and large quantities are also sent to other parts of the United States where Arab and Turk hashisn-eat- ers reside. The Stockton hemp farmers are making money fast by raising the drug and they are keeping the secret away from their neighbors. Mr. Nahon proposes to enter the same field as soon as he can se- cure the land and make not only hashish for the Oriental consumers, but the extract for the medicinal trade. FOR HOME-MADE CIGARS, A New Agitation Inaugurated by the Local Union Men. They Have Adopted Another Label for the Identification of State Products. A new agitation has been begun by the cigar-makers of the City and State, with the purpose in view of bringing about a better demand for home-manufactured goods among consumers. For years past the local branch of the International Cigar-makers’ Union has been struggling to push Chinese-made and Eastern cigars out of the markes, but with rather poor success. They have at last concluded to do away with the “strip’ label, which was adopted elfiht years ago, and to adopt a new design. The cigar-makers look upon the new label as an up-to-date idea. It consists of a round seal, as is shown in the accompanying cut, and with the words ‘“Protect Home Industry’” very prominently dis&nyed. This _seal will be placed upon the boxes of California-made cigars in a.conspicuous place. n speaking of the new movement yes- terday Becretary George W.Van Guelpen said that he could not see why Califor- nians would not patronize the products of their home workmen. He said: We turn out a better cigar because ours are nandmade and those from the East are all machine made, and tenement-house labor is employed in their manufacture. Why, when these machine-made cigars were introduced 1mto Boston the cigar-makers there drove them out. If our smokers would only stop to think that an average of from $8,000f 1o $10,000,000 & year is sent out of this State for Eastern cigars, and also consider that the money might just as well be kept here. 1f it was there would be employment for 3000 cigarmakers and they would disburse their ‘wages. averngin;’! $30,000 & week. Who would reap the benefit? The merchants, tailors, shoe- makers and tracesmen generally. It is to overcome this indifference that we are now going to begin a new agitation. ‘The new labels will be distributed through- out the State by Tuesday next, and will be laced on boxes simultaneously in all State actories. We are also going to send out agita- tion committees to push home-made goods among consumers. —————— THE THEATERS THIS EVENING. A Number of Atiractions That Are to Be Presented. The new California Theater will reopen to-night with “The Old Homestead.”” The character of ‘Joshua Whitcomb will be taken by George W. Wilson of the Boston Museum Stock Company.

AIDS TO THE GRAND MARSHAL. A Request That the New Young Lady Bicyclists Be Given Representation. The celebration of the National day this year is to be the grandest that San Fran- cisco has seen for several decades.

She must be dressed in the most modern uniform—corduroy bloomers, shirt, vest and white_straw hat with yvellow band. The prevailing opinion among the com- mitteemen is that a native daughter of this City should be chosen. THE NAVAL BATTALION. Inspection Orders—Colonel N. T. James May Go to the Re- serve.
