THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1895. 5 GROWTH OF STANFORD Forecast of a Brilliant Future for the School. CEANGE IN THE FACULTY Newly Enlisted Educators Who Will Preside During the Coming Year. PRAISE FOR THE STUDENTS. President Jordan Says Callfornia’s Climate Is Conduclve to Rapid Progress. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Aug.4. President David Starr-Jordan was seen in his private office on the Quadrangle and interviewed concerning the outlook of the university for the ensuing year. In con- nection therewith he spoke warmly of the intellec r of the California admiration for the Tniversity of Cal- thletic team, and made a 1 of the good and bad the general system of educa- the State. to the Government suit anford estate, as I said be arr, I think the outcome able to the university.

On this point T am not at all worried. immediate policy of the univer- aid Dr. Jordan, “has already been i. We purpose to continue at our present capacity. We are quite as large as we ought to be after four years of existence. Our future growth will be a process of slow expansion. “A number of changes have been made recently in the faculty. Assistant Pro- fessor Symington of the department of Romanic languages] has resigned his posi- tion and accepted a full professorship in | French at Amherst College. This is an | unusually flattering promotion; it places | Professor Symington in the heartof the Sastern college world and at the same time makes him one of the youngest pro- fessors in New England. J. A. Miller, as- sistant professor in mathematics, has been promoted full professor to the chair of ap- plied mathematics at the University of Indiara. The latter institution gains a good man in securing him. His work here | will be placed in the handsof two of our own graduates, W. E. Winship and D. L. Arncld. Professor E. H. Woodruff, uni- versity librarian and assistant professor of law, has been granted leave of ab-| sence for one year 1 order to rther pursue his law studies and furthermore to complete another law book which he has been working on. He will spend most of his time in the law libraries at Cornell and in New York City. Upon his return he will give up the library work and devote his attention exclusively to the law department. During his absence the library will be under the direction of Mr. F.J. Tagegart. Mr. Woodruff has re- ceived several very flattering calls from other institutions, but,”” said President Jordan, with a smile, “nothing can get bim away from Stanford University. Dr. A. G. Warner of the department of eco- nomics will be absent for another year on account of his health. He will be at Mani- tou Springs, Colorado. His absence is felt very keenly, indeed. When I engaged Dr. Warner asa member of our faculty I felt assured thatI bad secured the ablest man in the country in that particular line of work. At that time he was superinten- dent of charities in Washington, D. C. His arch work is of almost inestimable to students of social science. His book on ‘American Charities’ has at- tracted National attention and is recog- nized as the greatest work yet produced on that subject. His work here,” continued president, “‘will be in the handsof a petent specialist. Anotheraddition to ¥ ger Mr. Pomeroy of San Francisco with our law department. He will givea course in equity and several other branches He is peculiarly well equipped for the work.” When interrogated in regard to the last graduating class, the pioneer class of the university, the first product affording any standard whereby to estimate the value of work done at Palo Alto, Dr. Jordan said: “The body of voung men and women known as the pioneer class is extremely strong. It is the strongest class I have ever known. It may not contain any higher percentage of good scholarship than the average classes oi the best Eastern schools, but it possessed a far greater vari- ety of individual strength. Most of them have since been located. The demand for teachers has been specially large; in fact, larger than the supply. In addition to this we have contributed several men to the United States Geological Survey. Others have gone into engineering estab- lishments. Several haye secured positions in different colleges. A number of the sraduates will be back for post-graduate work, while a small colony of others will go to the Eastern schools for the same purpose. Harvard will receive the largest number; the others will go to Cornell, Columbia and Johns Hopkins.” ‘The president of Stanford University has an unbounded admiration for the Califor- nia student. Comparing the Western and the Eastern college men he said: ‘‘Califor- nia students possess a greater degree of physical healtk than an equal number of students in the East. Physical health goes with mental health. A great many of the California youths are dissipated, but this class wears out before reaching college. The residue are decent. They are ener- getic and self-reliant; more so than the Eastern type. I think it is because they have a larger experience in life; they have seen more of the world. They evince a readiness to take hold of things. They are enterprising. They possess the power of initiative in a remarkable degree.”’ Dr. Jordan believes that the peculiar cli- mate of California enables the Western student to perform a larger volume and a better quality of work than the Eastern student. He says this is due to the fact that ‘‘we do not have the extreme cold of the East nor the debilitating summer.” “The cold weather produces inflamma- tion of the nose and throat, and these affections extend more or less to the brain, producing duliness and inevitably impair- 1ng the quality of work dcne. In the East any, body of students will be affected by the weather and its scholarship will suffer from the unavoidable influence I have mentioned. The summer, of course, is weakening and produces intestinal and stomach troubles. Here on the coast we are exposed to the sea breeze, which pro- duces throat troubles if we are incautious, but it is much easier for us to avoid fever than it is in the East.” The relation of the university to the State of California President Jordan defines in these words: “The golden age of Cali- fornia begins when its gold is used for pur- poses like this. From such deeds must rise the new Californiz of the coming cen- tury, no longer the California of the gold- seeker and the adventurer, but the abode of high-minded men and women, trained in the wisdom of the ages, and imbued with the love of nature, the love of men, the love of God. Bright will be the future of our State if, in the usefulness of the uni- versity, every hope and prayer of the Iounders shall be realized.” The dominating characteristic of Stan- ford Uriversity, which distinguishes it from the old-school type, consists, accord- ing to Dr. Jordan, in this: *‘Our univer- sity, more than any other in the world, bas recognized the need of the individual student as the reason for its existence. It has held that if we are to make men and women out of boys and girls it will be as individuals, not as classes. All education must be individual—fitted to individual needs. A misfit education is no education atall. To fit man to schemes of education has been the mistake of the past. To fit education to man is the work of the future. The best field of corn is that in which the individual stalks are most strong and most fruitful. Class legisiation has always proved pernicious, whether in a State or university. The strongest nation that in which the individual man is most help- fal and most independent. The best school is that which exists for the indi- vidual student. “‘Our university is not an aggregation of colleges, departments, or classes. It is built of young men and young women. The student is its unit. Its basal idea is that each student should devote his time and strength to what is best for him; that no force of tradition, no ruie of restraint, no bait of a degree shoulp swerve any one from his own intellectual path. As Pro- fessor Anderson has said: ‘The way to educate a man is to get him at work; the way to get him to work is to interest him; the way to interest him is to vitalize his task by relatingit to some form of reality.’ No man was ever well trained whose own soul was not wrought into the process. No student was ever brought to any worthy work except by his own consent.” President Jordan is a close observer of the educational factors of the State. His interesting comment and straightforward criticism upon the system show that he not only appreciates the good qualities in vogue, but that he also has a comprehen- sive view of the many deep-seated evils which are hampering the educational growth of California. “I will speak first,” said he, ‘“of the ad- vantageous side of the subject. A good feature is the general interest among the people in educational matters. The united influence of the two universities reaches into every hamiet and awakens widespread interest in higher education. The further fact that the people of California travel a great deal makes them susceptible to this influence much more than in communities where the majority of the population never leave the country. As compared with most States, the people of California are wideawake. The general county school is of higher grade, and higher salaries are paid than in most communities of the country.” “The less favorable side of the subject,” continued the learned critic, ‘‘presentssev- eral vulnerable spots. The people of Cali- fornia are not permanent enough for a definitely formed public opinion, as in the East, and the lack of general publicopinion shows in corrupt municipal government. The schools in almost every part suffer from this. There are few city boards in which the members stop to consider what is best for the welfare of the interests in their charge. In the employment of teachers they often go into all sorts of per- sonal deals—miscalled politics—for the sake of benefiting themselves, or conferring favor on some dependent, or to help some political heeler. ““In every city in California the public echools suffer more or less from these evil influences. Theschoolscan never be what they ought to be or produce what the money spent on them ought to produce until the spoils system is thoroughly eliminated. Those who regard positions in the schools as personal or political spoils should never be trusted with the manage- ment of these affairs. I am glad to see that Superintendent Search of Los An- geles is making such a splendid fight against the spoils system in that city. Whether he wins or loses, the lesson given to Los Angeles by his struggle against the politicians to control the schools ought not to be lost on the people. The best and most important reform in school customs is the selection of superintendents who are educational experts, and who should be vested absolutely with sole authority on all questions of appointment or removal of teachers. Where boards of business men appoint or remove teachers, corruption is sure to creep in; and the appointment of an inferior teacher under whatever guise is corruption.” Incidentally, Dr. Jordan said he was glad of the opportunity to make this statement in regard to the State schools through the columns of THE CALL. At present Dr. Jordan is engaged upon the first volume of a serial contribution to biological study, to be published from time to time under the auspices of the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory. Drs. Gilbert and Jenkins are the editors. Three more volumes are to be published during the year. The firstis by Dr. Jordan on the “Fishes of Sinaloa,” the result of his mid- winter researches last year in Mexico. In conclusion the great scientist paid a brief tribute to the late Alban N. Towne. I was sorry to learn of hisdeath. I knew him well and had very pleasant relations with him. I respected him for his solidity ;)I ch:‘s‘mctcr, for his strong purpose and orce. Dr. Jordan applauds the U. C. athletic team for its career of victory on the East- ern circuit. He believes the trip served a practical end in bringing the California student into favorable notice before the Eastern people, and he further declares that if the Western collegian had an op- portunity to measure his intellectual strength alongside of the Eastern student he would in like manner hold his own with credit and honor. DROVE AILS INTO IS HEAD. Ira Reynolds® Attempted Suicide Fails of Its Purpose. TACOMA, WasH., Aug. &—Ira Rey- nolds, the crazy burglar, incarcerated at Steilacoom, has a brain impervious to at- tacks of steel or iron. Asreported in these dispatches yesterday, the doctor found imbedded in his skull a large nail, which he had driven into his head in an attempt to commit suicide. When the nail, which he had carried in his skull four days, was extracted, a portion of the brain oozed out. Reynolds, however, did not even appear dispirited. 2 ‘o-day another nail was extracted from his head. It had been driven in on the right side; the first had been on the left. Reynolds says he has suffered no pain, and appears to retain unusually good health. TURNERS MAKE MERRY, Their Annual Picnic and Prize Shoot at Schuetzen Park. SOME GOOD SCORES ARE MADE. Philo Jacoby Carries Off the Honors in the Turner Shoot With 66 Rings. e The members of the San Francisco Turn Verein had a most enjoyable outing at Schuetzen Park yesterday. They went over early and took their wives and fam- ilies with them. Captain Fred Attinger was master of ceremonies and he saw that everybody enjoyed themselves. He isa great favorite -with all the Turners and was so much in demand yesterday that it was with difficulty he found time to shoot his score for the annual prizes. Captain Attinger joined the shooting section of the Turners eight years ago, and during 18934 was first lieutenant under Captain Ott. In January last when the latter retired Attinger was unanimously selected to fill the vacancy. A remarkable feature of yesterday's | H. Fleyge 27, J. F. Altings 28, ral J. Stnude’;i‘:'r, Corporal W.

THE TRAP-SHOOTERS. Some Good Marksmanship at the Oak- land Race Track. At the Oakland race track the trapshoot- ers held a few interesting’ matches yester- day. In the monthly shoot of the Cali- fornia Wingshot Club, twelve live birds, these scores were made: Webb 11, Golcher 11, Robinson 10, Morrison 10, Reos 10, Robertson 10, Fay 9, Haight 9, Hornang 9. Slade 9, Wellville 9, Wagner §, Fan. ning 9, Little 5. Webb and Golcher divided first money and Webb was awarded first meaal and Golcher second medal. At a freeze-out shoot of six birds in the first round the scores were: Robinson 6. Fay_6, Morrison 6, Webb 6, Clinton 5, Wagner 5, Fanning 5, Hornung 4. In the second round, out on first miss, Robinson 2, Fay 1, Morrison 3 and Webb 3. ‘Webb and Morrison divided money and honors. 2 The Electric Club’s shoot at twenty-five blue rocks resulted as follows: .

[From a photograph.] shooting was the two rapid-fire scores made by F. C. Muller. With an army rifle at | the Union Musket Club range he fired ten | shots in three minutes, making 44 points | out of a possible 50. He then went to the range of Company D, Fifth Infantry, and in the same time made 43 out of a possible 50. When it is remembered that the target had to be changed after each shot, the loss of time in loading and sighting, and the excellence of the shooting, the record is a remarkabls one. Philo Jacoby carried off the honors in the Turners’ shoot with a score of 66 rings out of a possible 75. No member was al- lowed more than three shots during tue day, and in consequence many of them made much better scores later in the day than when they were contesting for the prizes. The results were as follows: Philo Jacoby 66 rings, W. Glindemann 65, Brunotte nking Amark 58, I. Enge 57, 11 udolph A. ablat 53, F. Kom- Muller 47, 46 and Lieu- , C. Nielson 54, J. 2, L.

Shooting was quiet, in so far aslack of excitement is quiet, at Shell Mound Park yesterday, for most of the German shoot- ers were at Schuetzen Park and but few militiamen were present. The shoot of the City Guard Rifle Club resulted as follows: C. Perry 46, J. Fetz 45, A. Gehret 44, A. Fetz 44,7, R. Wear 44, Sturtevant 40, George Sulli- van 39, Cordell 39, Zimmerman 39, Townsend .

Edwards, Secures Possession. How the Chlld of the Sulcldes Was Made to Leave Her Foster Mother. ittle Lois Edwards, the four-year-old child who survived the awful fate of the Edwards family, at 1157 Market street, is no longer under the care of Mrs. Daniel Skerrett of 113 Webster street. On the night before she and her husband committed suicide Mrs. Harry H. Edwards wrote a letter to Mrs. W. M. Fowler in which she asked that lady to assume charge of what little she left behind, and when the child, Lois, was found still alive | Mrs. Fowler, following the spirit of that communication, took charge of the little one, and in time Lois was turned over by the Coroner to Mrs. Fowler’s sister, Mrs. Skerrett, for temporary care. Mrs. Sker- rett intended to adopt the child, if possi- ble. Lois had, therefore, been living with Mrs. Skerrett ever since until Saturday. The funeral of the Edwards’ occurred Friday, and among those attending the obsequies were Mr. and Mrs. George K. Edwards of 62 Delmas avenue, San Jose. This Edwards was a cousin of the unfor- nate man, and he wanted to take the child away with him then and there, and was only prevented after some little trouble. Finally, however, he seemed to become reconciled to having Lois remain with Mrs. Skerrett, and expressed his satisfac- tion with the arrangement, saying that Mrs. Skerrett could keep the child for sev- eral weeks, or even until he got ready to go to Ckicago, where a brother of the dead man, Burr Edwards, said to be a packer and very wealthy, lives. On Saturday Edwards returned to Mrs. Skerrett’s, accompanied by a Mr. Duncan, who has recently become a resident of Central avenue in Alameda, and had in times past rendered some pecuniary as- sistance to Harry Edwards. ‘When they called it was during the afternoon and Mrs. Skerrett’s husband was downtown on business. They asked Mrs. Skerrett to let them have the child, and finally succeeded in their mission, not, however, witl. Mrs. Skerrett's consent, nor, according to ber story, with the consent of the child, Mrs. Skerrett described their visit and its result as follows yesterday : I was quite surprised at Mr. Edwards, and more 0 at Mr. Duncan. The latter had refused a reqfiest of Harry Edwards just before he died for $20. He had let him have about $40 pre- viously. This refusal, though, of Mr. Duncan’s, Underhe circumstanices, did ot make me feel kindly disposed toward him, and after a while he went ontside, leaving Mr. Edwards in here 10 try to get the child alone, The child kept saying that she did not want 10 go, and Mr. Edwards was here for several hours pleading and arguing. First he wanted to take Lois out for a walk, promising to suraly return her, but I said he had broken his word of the day betore and I could not trust him. Then he wanted to give her a ride on the cars, but to that I would not assent. The child would come and tug at my dress and beg me not to let the two men take her away. At last, however, he used the persuasion of some candy, asking the little one if she would like some fresh candy. Well, he ultimately got her away in spite of her appeals to be left with me. 1t just seexzed as if could not do anythin to prevent them taking Lois. I felt that 1 DIH a moral cleim on her, but was not so sure of any legal claim. I think it was cowardly on their parts for two big men to come here and try to intimidate & woman. The child was getting along very nicely. You must understand that the suicide of her mother and father was a terrible shock to her, but with the care she was receiving she was doing very well. Mrs. Fowler felt very indignant when she learned of the action of Edwards and Dun- can. An effort will be made by Mrs. Skerrett, through her husband, to-day to obtain legal assistance against George K. Edwards, and, if possible, to bring some proceeding which may compel him to return Lois to her cust . HALE AND NORCROSS SUIT. M. W. Fox Speaks of the Great Victory Gained in Court. THE CAREFR OF H. M. LEVY. Representatives of the Hobart Es- tate WIill Apply for a Rehearing. M. W. Fox, who gained a great victory by the Supreme Court’s decision, rendered on Saturday in the Hale & Norcross suit, was congratulated all day yesterday. In reply to an inquiry as to whether criminal proceedings would now be instituted, Mr. Fox said: That is a matter which now concerns the Grand Jury and the District Attorney. I fought this battle alone, without the assistance of any of the stockholders of the robbed mine. For my part I shall never swear outa warrant for the arrest of Alvinza Hayward, H. M. Levy or any other person connected with the litiga- tion. The facts were placed before the public when the complaint was filed in the Superior Court. The information has since existed, and it exists now. Itis for the authorities to act if they deem best. 1 began this suit because my rights as a stockholder were ignored. 1 wenttoHarmon a long time ago, saying that as I intended to visit Virginia City I wanted as a stockholder to look at fhe ore body and therefore would be pleasea if he would give me & permit to enter the mine. He said to me, “Why, Mr. Fox, that is not necessary. I will write to the su- perintendent and he will meet you there and show you through the mine.” "When I had transacted some business in Virginia City T went to the superintendent and asked him if he had received a letter of the kind from San Francisco that had heen‘rromiledA He xeghcd in the negative and I told him the story. Then he said: “Why, Fox, did that old — e —— Harmon tell you such a story. He knows very well that { cannot admit you on his orders.” I asked, “On whose order can you admit?” He replied: “The order of Sam Jones will allow you to go in.” Then I tele- graphed to my secretary here to see Harmon and ask what'was meant by telling me thatI could see the ore body. Harmon reflected a moment and responded: *This man Fox is always misunderstanding somebody. 1 saw the ore being taken away at night and said to the superintendent, “Why do you allow this to go on?’ He answered, “I am here to take out the ore—not to dispose of it.” While this case was pending in the court,a year or longer 8go, an emissary from the other side came to me and said, “Fox, why cannot this dispute be settled?” Ianswered, “There is no reason why it cannot.” He pursued the subject further, asking on what terms it could be settled. I replied,“By puying to the stock- holders of the company the full amount on the face of my complaint.” He repifed, “You can get the full amount of your claim, $200.000. with interest. I am authorized to pay you §300,000 if you will sign this stipulation (pro- ducing the paper) Fivoty g complaint.” 1 told him that I would not 51 any amount. Concerning Levy’s career Mr. Fox said: H. M. Levy, who figures with Hayward in the litigation, first came into prominence during the Sierra Nevada deal in 1§79. He knew the superintendent and got inside information concerning rich developmenis in the mine. In one tranfaction he was enabied to make, through friendly support, $40,000. He con- tinued in speculation, and through the assist- ance of Hoeflich, and the indifference of Mackey and Flood, got control of Norcross and Savage. Inthe fall of 1886 the ore body was discovered, and in March of 1887, Hayward and Hobart took Levy into camp., ‘When asked if $800,000 would reimburse the stockholders for the amounts wrong- fully taken from them Mr. Fox said: Four million dollars would come nearer the sum. 1know what has been going on at Vir- ginia City. I have had men working for two years to trace these robberies on the Comstock. This community should be rich and prosper- ons. Stockbolders have been robbed of $24,- 000,000 and assessed for £50,000,000. The money has gone to rich men who conspired to Tob the stockholders. Mr. Fox maintains that the decision of the Supreme Court will impart greater security to people whose money is invested in mining properties. Tt will assist in breaking up schemes and conspiracies to deceive and swindle stockholders. Attorney William Rix, one of the repre- sentatives of the Hobart estate in the litigation, says that a petition for a re- bearing of the case is sure to be filed, as the defendants, Hayward and Levy and the Hobart representatives, will not be sat- istied to rest under conviction on the charge of fraudulent combination. He thinks that a rehearing will be granted. “The defendants in the case cannot be satisfied with the Supreme Court decis- ion,” said Mr. Rix. ‘Neither can the plaintiffs.” ““And certainly the stockholders and the men who have been speculating in the stock with the expectation that the de- cision of Judge Hebbard would be fully sustained must be disappointed. ““I cannot go into the legal aspect of the matter, but evervbody concerned in the suit has something to feel gratified about. The decision is partially favorable to the defendants and partially favorable to the plaintiffs, and both sides have an im- mense amount of litigation yet before them. “The Hale & Norcross case is vet a long way from settlement, and it is likely to be in the court for years. “From the defendants’ point of view, the affirmation of fraudulent action is the most serious matter, though there is $210,- 197 50 that must be paid on_ the judgment unless a modification of the decision can be obtained on a rehearing. “It must be understood that the nature of the alleged fraudulent combination is a technical matter, largely based on negli- gence. Itis acharge that at the most can onily be supported in a civil proceeding, and there is no other side to it. “This charge and the matter of $210,- 197 50 are the only issues absolutely de- cided by the Supreme Court, and all the rest of the case is to be gone over in the new trial. . “I think that the defendants can now introduce new evidence enough so that no material damages can be obtained in the future proceedings. New evidence will be resented by both sides, and, of course, it 18 within the range ol})oasibility that there may be an award of damages as high as before. “The Hale & Norcross stock is pretty sure to go up somewhat as a result of the decision. It went from $1 45 on Monday of last week to $1 65 on Saturday, and T think it may go up forty or fitty points this week. If Judge Hebbard’s decision had smiss the suit for been fully sustained the stock would have adtvnfloe to four or five times its present rate *“The decision is satisfactory so far as it goes,” said Judge McKissick of plaintiff’s counsel last night, “but of course I would have liked it better had it been_ absolutely final. I had for months expected a modified judgment, but not quite as modified as it is. I have not looked into the decision very minutely, but it i3 very evident that it saddles the charge of fraud very clearly on Hayward and vi'{ That in itselfisa great point and on it hangs all the rest. “The judgment seems to me to be positive to the extent of $210,000 and interest, which will make the amount about $260,000. Regarding the $789,000 the decision is not uite so clear, and leaves the question in oubt as to whether this sum will be finally enlarged or diminished. The Su- preme Court is apparently not satisfied with the data upon which Judge Hebbard based his calculation, and has instructed him to recast his finding. This he can do from the testimony, or he may hear any further testimony that each side may offer. In the end he may increase the amount claimed, but I do not think this is likely. “The tenor of the decision seems to be that the amount is about $100,000 too much, and that Judge Hebbard did nos make sufficient allowance for the reduc- tion of the silver. The decision is a de- cided and conclusive victory for the plain- tiffs, as it establishes clearly the fact that Hayward et al. defrauded the Hale & Nor- cross stockholders. The only point in doubt is the amount of the fraud, and this Judge Hebbard is instructed to determine. *The case will remain in the Supreme apply for a rehearing the remittitur will be handed down. It is not quite clear to me yet on what the Supreme Court bases its idea that Judge Hebbard's estimate of the total of the fraud is not in accordance with the data furnished him, but perhaps it will be clearer to me when I have thoroughly di- gested the decision.” DR.HEMPHILL AT CALVARY. He Claims That the Rich and Powerful Are the Great Sin- ners. The Rev. Dr. John Hemphill preached at the Presbyterian Calvary Church last night. The subject of his sermon was Sabbath-keeping and Church-going.” Dr. Hemphill wok his text from Leviticus, 429 :30. “Ye shall keep my Sabbath and rever- ence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.” The present condition of the Sabbath was pictured and compared with the manner of its keeping when he was a boy. He denounced the rich and powerful of the City as being the greatest sinners and Sabbath-breakers. Among other things, Dr. Hemphill sai I remember when I was a boy that Sun- day was a terrible day for me. It was not worship, but unholy toiling. “The masses of this City are not the great sinners. The chief sinners and Sab- bath-breakers are to be found among the rich and the powerful. They are the orin- cipal desecrators of God’s holy day. “There is not enough seating capacity in the churches of this City to hold half the people who profess Christianity, but, at grcsent, there is not a church that is half illed on a Sunday. “Another thing I desire to speak of isthe expenditures of this church. It was easier to meet the expenditures of this church twenty years agothan it is to-day, and the church ‘expenses then were heavier than now. “I am now trying to place myself in the light of an impecunious parson pleading for his salary. I received $2000 more from the last church than you are paying me and I have lately been offered $3000 more than my present salary. There should be a more generous contribution among the members of this church.” The pastor stated that though there are various excuses given why people do not attend church on Sunday, the flimsiest of all was that excuse, “‘I need a rest.” . Dr. Hemphill was seen after the service and asked if the church was in debt. He stated that contributions were not as large as they ought to be. The choir had been changed from a voluntary to a paid one. The reason that he had spoken about his salary was that his congregation should understand that his request_for money did not come from a self-motive, but for the best interest of the church.

At Kerrigan’s Park the announcement that the Golden Gate Coursing Club would run a thirty-two dog stake drew a large crowd, and some of the best sport of the season at this park was seen. 7 The hares ran like demons, and in some cases pumped the dogs out before escaping into the paddocks or falling before the hounds. gomfl long shots were winners in close motches, which gave the specula- tors courage, and lively betting was the result.

At first it was applied to such decoctions of roots or other sub- stances as were deemed beneficial in medi- cal practice; then, as these were frequent- 1y sweetened, it came to mean any sweet- ened concoction or confection; and lastly, as molasses was the sweetest of all, this name was exclusively applied to syrup. Court for thirty days and if neither side' DURRANT JURORS WANTED Searching for Six More Good Men and True to Try the Case. RAPIDLY NEARING THE END. It Is Hoped That the Full Jury Will Have Been Secured by Thurs= day Next. THE DURRANT CASE IN A MINUTE-TO SEEK FOR JURORS TO-DAY. The search for six more jurors to try William Henry Theodore Durrant will be resumed in Judge Murphy's court this morning. Three hundred veniremen have been summoned, and it is predicted that a full jury will be secured not later than Thursaay, so that the trial proper will probably be commenced this week. ‘The prosecution’s line of testimony has been fully outlined, ana only from the defense are surprises expected. The real battle in the Durrant case will begin this week. Thdéend of the skirmish for jurors is confidently predicted for Thursday, at the latest, and the real work of the trial will begin at once. The prose- cution will make the charge as to what it expects to prove against the young medi- cal student, and the first witness of a long array will be placed on the stand to supply his link in the chain of circumstances encircling the prisoner. The prosecution’s line of testimony has been public property for weeks. Ithasnot one witness other than has already ap- peared in the case. The District Attorney 1s authority for this and the chief of detec- tives, Captain Lees. They certainly ought to know, or, if there are other witnesses, they have their particular reasons for not making it public. Itismore than likely, however, that their statement is correct. In fact, they go further and say there will not be as many witnesses for the pros- ecution by two, the Rev. J. George Gibson and Conductor West of the Powell-street line. Neitherofthem willappearat allifnot called by the defense, as they probably will be. Captain Lees states that these wit- nesses were merely called in a spirit of fair play, to show the full hand ot the vrosecution to the defense, so thatafterward no charge of concealment could be made. Their testimony was taken down, direct and cross examination, and from that moment Captain Lees states that he con- considered his duty done, and the prose- cution decided to call them to the stand no more. The material of the prosecution thus be- ing in plain sight the public can only ex- pect surprises in the trial from the defense and from the suggestive manner of coun- sel for the defense when asked for informa- tion it is fair to infer that the public will be gratified. Just what form these sur- prises will take is what is bothering those who have been watching the progress of the case, and what will bother them until the prosecution rests. It is well known that the defense’s main attack on the evi- dence tendered on the part of the prosecu- tion will come by way cof proving an alibi, and, incidentally, proving that the persons who have testified that they saw Durrant at certain places at certain times were mis- taken. Back of it all, nevertheless, coun- sel for the defense will have to show prett; conclusively, even if they shake the testi- mony of the prosecution in this regard, just where Durrant was at these certain times. If they can and do, that will be the big surprise, a bigger one than the prosecution thinks the defense capable of springing. It will not take very long for all these things to be determined, a mere matter of a few weeks, which will pass all so quickly for the prisoner, no matter how slowly time may seem to move. for the expectant public, and the first day of these few ‘weeks is this day, when the search for six more jurors to fill the box will begin, with 300 citizens summoned on the panel, all to be examined if necessary within four days, within which period, judging from the grngress already made, the box should be iled and all preliminaries ended. The trial of William Henry Theodore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont will then have begun in earnest, to end in liberty for the prisoner or as short a shrift at the end of a mnoose as the law’s delay will permit. * " “THE WOMAN WITH FELINE EYES" A STORY BY MADGE MORRIS WAGNER, Author of “Liberty Bell,” will be pub- lished in NEXT SUNDAY'S CALL. lira TrE CALL devotes a great deal of atten- tion to excellent articles on Western Themes by Western men and Western women.
