SURFBOATS FOR THE SOUTH. The Britlsh Ship Lyderhorn Now the Lone Vessel at Anchor in the Bay. William Martin, who keeps the small restaurunt in the waiting-room of the ferry landing at the foot of Market street, has been bearing a double burden ever since helocated with stove and frying pan in that out-of-the-way corner. He has been dealing out coffee ana doughnuts to | the public and defending his cooking im- plements against the Southern Pacific | Railroad Company. Of course William would have been ground to powder long ago if the Board of Harbor Commissioners had not reared itself between him and destruction. When he appfied for the vrivilege of conducting which one man last night s8id they would do. Others somewhat wildly threatened to stand a court-martial rather than obey the order, but these threats are not taken seriously. Company A was originally known as the MacMahons, subsequently as the Mac- Mahon Grenadiers, and later as the Tigers. It was then an independent organization, About 1858 it went into the National Guard. Captain Marshall was the senior captain of the First Regiment and is drill- master of the police force. There is to be an election soon in the First for lieutenant-colonel. Major George R. Burdick succeeded Lieutenant-Colonel Hyman P. Bush when the latter was elected colonel, but resigned. Captain Irving B. Cook of Company B became major to succeed Major Burdick. Two candidates are in the field for the lieutenant-coloneley,namely,Major Charles Jansen and ex-Captain Tilden of Com- pany G. R : An election will aiso be necessary in Com- pany B for a captain to fill the place left | vacant by Major Cook. First Lieutenant | George Filmer is now actil:}g captain. It is believed the Third Regiment will move from the Golden Gate avenue armory to the Market-street armory, companies B, D and F of the First to make that possible by meving into the armory of the Na- tionals on Ellis street, where Companies C and G—the Nationals—are now. Ii this change of quarters is effected it will do much to reconcile Company A to its trans- | fer, it is believed. The Third Regiment is to elect a colonel on Wednesday night. Lieutenant-Colonel J. C. O'Connor 1s said to have a clear field, | though there has been some little talk of | Major James F. Smith running against | him. It was learned last night, however, AMERICAN PATRITISM, An Address by Rev. Donald M. Ross at Metropolitan _ Hall. REGARD FOR THE OLD FLAG. The Rev. Mr. Dennett Talks About the Necessity of Action in Politics. The 1425 seats in Metropolitan Hall were filled yesterday afternoon and several hun- dred people who were unable to obtain seats stood in the side aisles. The audi- efice, composed about equally of men and women, had assembled to listen to the exercises given under the auspices of the Good Citizenship Committee, and particu- larly to the address by Rev.Donald M. Ross, pastor of the Lebanon Presbyterian Church on “Rome’s Hand in the People’s Pocket.” The speakers’ stand was decorated with the National emblem, and on the platform a large number of chairs were occupied by THE STEAMER BAWNMORE SHIPPING A TUGBOAT AND BARGES. [Sketched by a * Call” artist.] a stand he found the great corporation clamoring for the refusal of his petition on : nd that it wanted the space and t the stand would interfere with its own eating places on the ferry steamers. Sut the State of California evidently thought that the Southern Pacific Com- pany. had plenty of room for all its pur- poses, and legitimate restaurant competi- tion on shore need not bekilled in the in- terest of business afloat. So Martin agreed to serve the ferry travel at reasonable rates, and he was permitted at his own expense to fit up his cookery. But Mr. Huntington nevey forgave him, and has resented hisinvasioh. Therailroad people have refrained from patronizing his lunch counter, and have in _different ways | made things igteresting for him. They charged him $2 a month for water, which he is obliged to carry from the end of the wharf to his kitchen. When he conciuded to get water else- where at a cheaper rate, they refused to let him go down on their dock to empty bis slops in the bay. That forced him back to the Southern Pacific faucet. He cannot get a lower rate though he keeps a free drinking place for the benefit of the people who patronize the ferry-boats. Martin_ one day went down on the con- crete wall to see a Commissioner, when one of the gatekeepers ordered him off the State property, saying he evidently wanted to take something. Martin’s lastwork in the service of the public was to get an empty room in the building fitted up by the Harbor Commis- sioners for the convenience of ladies occu- pying the waiting-room, he agreeing to take care of the place. The railroad em- ployes objected, but again the Btate offi- cials stood by the bold restaurant man, and although the wharf superintendent of tue company vowed that he will have that ed up in two weeks, their patrons are enjoying the accommodation wrung from him. The British steamer Bawnmore, now Joading cargo for Portland, will take on her fircut wide upper deck a tugboatand two large surf-lighters to be used on the Central American coast. One lone vessel, the Lyderhorn, occu- pied the yesterday, and not another anchor down. Such is the demand for all kinds of craft that each new arrival is hauled into dock immediately for dis- charge. N THE NATIOHL GUARD Company A of the First Does Not Take Kindly to Its Change. Third to Elect a Colonel and the First a Lieutenant- Colonel. The The transfer of Company A of the First Regiment to the Third, in the reorganiza- tion of the National Guard, is not alcepted with very good grace by the majority of the members of that company. On Friday night its regular monthly meeting was held at the First regimental armbry on Market street, and the men who object to the change were lond in their protests. The Third Regiment, they said, did not have a very good name, and, worse still, the reputation of Company C, which the transferred company succeeds in name, was far from savory. To be known as Company “C” of the Third Regiment, was altogether too much agony for the proud National Guardsman to undertake to suffer, they thought. All sorts of motions were made, some to refuse to obey the order of transference, others to disband and some to apply for transference to some other regiment, but, of course, none of these motions were put to a vote. Captain Robert A. Marshall expostulated with the men, and urged that they accept the situation with the best grace possible, and finally he asked all who would stay with bim to stand up. About a score of the members stood up. First Sergeant Newbert acquiesces in the change. 2 About seventy-five men answer the roll- call of this company. Many of them have served over seven years and can take ad- vantage of their exemption certificates, | that Major Smith would nominate Lieu- tenant-Colonel O'Connor and that the lai- | ter’s election would be unanimous. Lieutenant-Colonel O’Connor enlisted in | the old **Montgomery Guard” in the latter | part of the '70's. became Company *“A” | subsequently Company “D."” Guardsman | 0’Connor climbed up the ladder step by tep as lieutenant, captain, major and lieu- | tenant-colonel. He has been second in | rank for about five years and was major | for three years. | Company B of the Naval Battalion is no | more. On Friday night it met and drilled for the last time in the armory of the Sec- | ond Regiment on Page and Gough streets, | and then each man was told off to which- | ever of the two remaining companies, viz., | C and D, he desired to belong. Company C took twenty-three and Com- | pany thirty-four, the men who had | served the longest time going to the latter. Lieutenant C. C. Dennis was detailed to | the staff for special duty; Junior Grade | Lieutenant G. C. Calden and Ensign C. F. Moody went to Company C and Ensign W. F. Burke to Company D. The petty offi- cers’ were assigned to the companies ac- cording to their rank. Company B had nearly $600 in its treas- | ury, and on the night of the 17th inst. it will give a farewell banquet. TAMING FIERY STEEDS. Professor Gleason’s: Encounter With Dixie, the Biting Stallion. An immense crowd gathered in Central Park yesterday afternoon on the occasion of the farewell appearance of Professor Oscar R. Gleason. s The principal attraction was the profes- sor’s encounter with the biting stallion Dixie, belonging to the Arata Bros. of Napa, in a twenty-four foot ring. A fence about six feet high was erected in the center of the park, and Dixie was led into it. A few minutes jater the professor, armed with a whip, and a revolver loaded with blank cartridges, entered the ring. When Dixie got a look at him he began to le‘ie around and the professor at- tacked him with the whip. Dixie at- 1emé)ted to strike the professor with his hind legs, but Gleason was as wary and agile as'a cat and kept out of his way. . Whenever the stallion ran at him open- mouthed the professor fired a shot at him, which staggered him temporarily. Finally Dixie became convinced that he could not scare the professor, and %uieuy allowed | him to pat him and place his hand in his mouth, to the delight of the spectators. Three other animals were made to feel that the professor was their master, but one of them, a little black horse, gave him considerable trouble. It was eithera trick horse or a phenomenal kicker and plunger. A WOMAN IN THE PULPIT. Miss H. M. Anderson Preaches on the Queen of Sheba, The pulpit of the Howard M. E. Church was occupied yesterday by Miss H. M. Anderson, an evangelist. Thel subject of the discourse al the morning service was “The Queen of Sheba.” % Miss Anderson drew a vivid picture of the Queen of Sheba meeting King Solomon. She stated that the Queen had_heard a reat deal about the wonders of the great g{in Solomon. The Queen of Sheba could hardly believe all that she heard concern- ing the wonders of this great man. It was hardly possible that a man could be so wise and so good as he. “It was, I suppose,” said Miss Anderson, “yery hard for the Queen of Sheba to be- lieve the wondrous stories that had reached her about Solomon. She decided to go to Solomon and search for truth. It isa pity that the world is-nat as generous as the Queen of Sheba, and search as she did for the gieat truths.” 5 The subject of the evening service was “The Bar}e\: Line.”” Miss Anderson, assisted by a Miss Baker, wiil conduct a series of revival meetings at Antioch tnis week. — ————— Four Inquests for To-Morrow. Coroner Hawkins has a busy day before him to-morrow. He will hold inquests on the bodies of four persons who have died by their own hands. The cases are Mrs. A. C. Seeley, who hanged herself Thursdsy at Howard and Sixth streets; Jeremiah Griffis, who %mped from a third-story window Friday at 623 Cali- fornia street; Oscar Johnsor, who shot him- self Thursday at 438 Elizabeth street, and Kate Morrissey, who poisoned herself with morphine Friday at 515 Bush street, This company afterward ] f the Third, and | persons prominent in the A. P. A. and members of the Temple Choral Society. The meeting was called to order by H. W. Quitzow shortly after 3 o'clock, and he an- nounced the singing by the choral society of ¢ marching Through Georgia.” This was followed by a prayer by the Rev. E. P. Dennett of the Potrero M. E.” Church, whose appeal to the Almighty was for strength and power in aid of the move- ment now being made, which he described as not only for the Nation’s aggrandize- ment, but for the welfare of the whole human family. “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” was sung by the choral society, the audi- ence joining in the chorus. The Rev, C. A. Rabing of the United Evangelical Church, made a brief address on the American fiag and patriotigm. He said that the flag was abused when it was displayed in front of and over ginmills and low dives. *‘The flag is honored,” he said, “when it floats over the school-houses of the coun- try, and it is never/disgraced by those who enter and leaye such houses.” He con- cluded by sayinfi that the Rev. Mr. Ross would talk of “Rome With Its Hands in Our Pockets,” and that the meaning of this was the public treasury. During an organ voluntary by R. W. Lucy a collection was taken up. This was followed by the rendition of “The Soldier Bold,”” a song arranged to the_airs of Sousa’s j;opular marches by J. W. Mec- Kenzie Jr. It was sung by the Choral Society and was so well rendered that it had to be repeated. . The Rev. Mr. Ross, a tall man of pleas- ing appearance, who speaks with a slight Scotch accent, well and forcibly, then addressed the meeting. He declared in the outset that his address would not be against the Catholicreligion butagainst the interference of the Catholic church in American politics, but before entering upon his main discourse he took occasion to charge that the Catholic church, actu- ated by mercenary motives, claimed powers which he said it did not possess. He detailed at length that the railroad companies discriminates in favor of Sisters of Charity as against women of the Salva- tion Armf. and allowed them to ride free, but compelled the Salvationists to pay ; that employes in the departments at Washing- ton were foroed to pay a portion of their earnings to the Catholic Church, and that more Catholics than Protestants were em- ployed in the departments at Washington, holding that statistics showed that if the proportion was reversed it would be about right, as the census statistics showed that there were not more than 7,000,000 Catholics in the United States. He charged that in New York the Catholic church had ac- quired property valued at §$3,500,000 with- out cost and then had been paid for per- mission to cut a street through a portion of that m'opert{. He read along list to show that millions had been paid by the State of New York for the maintenance of private institutions. He said that thefight of the A. P. A. was not with the religion of the Catholic or any church, and tbat if the Roman Cath- ohic Church would draw out of ;lmlitics and keep its hands out of the public treasury he would withdraw from the A. P. A, He disputed the statement recently made that one-half of the women of San Franciseo were Catholics. Speaking of one of the departments at ‘Washington, he said: *There are eleven clerks in this department, eight of whom are Catholics and three are Protestants. If it were the other way it would be a just proportion. The blame cannot be laid altogether to the Catholics, but to the way in which Protestants can_be bought and influenced. We must put down such prac- tices. “Iam an American to-day. I belong to No. 106, A. P. A., and I have beenan A. P. A. one year, but I am not such on sec- tarian founda, but because our organiza- tion is the only one that can keep Catholic hands out of the politics of the country. All that we want is that the Roman Catho- lic Church remain where it belongs.” % He said the reason he drew attention to the figures he quoted was that it was time the people of the United States knew what was being done with their money and asked: “Dare we squeal when we are be- ing trodden upon, or must we submit to being crushed by the hierarchy? I, for one, will not submit quietly.” He again referred to frauds in Chicago, and said that very soon the frauds in San Francisco would be brought up before our Grand Jn?. ““God,” he said, “has a destiny for this Nation—to make it the advanced country of the world, and any man or organization that would stand in the way of thisad- vancement would be worse than insane. When this country had but 5,000,000 people it moved against one of the strongest nations of the world and it moved on to victory and it will do so again. As Glad- stone said, this Nation is going to be the nation of nations; it is to be the beacon by which other nations will be guided. Un- less the people stand steadfast for the country and the flag they may find them- selves trampled under foot. One thing I regret is that I do not hear the people sing the National anthem. “In my country (Canada), when I was there, there never was a meeting at the close of which the Peo&le did not sing ‘God Save the Queen. ere at the close of a meeting the people rush pellmell to get away. They ought to remain and sing ‘America.’ Yes, until the last word is sung.” The reverend gentleman conciuded by saying that a great American movement was going on from New York to Vicksburg and from Atlanta to the sea, and that any- thing that stood in the way would be so trampled that it would never feel the rear guard. The Rev. Mr. Dennett in an impressive speech said that as the State had an insti- tution for the detention of juvenile delin- quents, the money of the taxpayers should not be paid for the uurport of delinquents at the Magdalen Asylum. He also urged all Americans to commence now and take a hana in politics, so that the conventions would not place before the voters the same kind of tickets that bad been presented in the past. He also spoke of his devotion to the American flag and to the couniry, and closed by saying: ‘Be ye faithful and true unto death and victory is ours.”” Both speakers were frequently aj plauded, Pnrticnlar]y when their remarks were on the subject of patriotism. Theex- ercises closed = with the singing of “*America. He INDORSES THE CALL Rev. Dr. Hirst on the Method of Reporting Durrant’s Trial. He Deplores the Relish in Many Homes for the Highly Spiced In News. Rev. A. C. Hirst, pastor of the Simpson Memorial Church, voiced publicly last evening his approval of the policy which Tre CArL has adopted in reporting the Durrant case. The subject of his dis- course was the love that ‘‘thinketh no evil” and that ‘‘rejoiceth not in iniquity.” “These words,” said the preacher, “in- dicate the real genius of Christianity more plainly than it is indicated anywhere else. Divine love is the central force of all things. It furnishes the only way to uni- versal agreement with God and the only solution of the vexed problems which have s0 long perplexed the souls of men. And the ideal Christian heart is a fountain whence flows kindness and love. “God himself could not do anything with this world of nis except along the lines of parental love. such thing as an abstract moral govern- ment, and mere justice would result in the annihilation of ~the human race. You fatbers try to build a heme on the line of absolute justice, and see what the result will be. And yet the home is the truest type of the world. “I have no patience with the man or woman who peeps or pries into the moral lapses and soul-diseases of his fellows. A scavenger has no accepted place in society, but for him I have more respect than for the social scavengers, who hunt out evil in their fellows simply from a taste for evil. “What would you think of a man who paid to have the main sewer of this City run uncovered before his home. Yet, worse than that is being done here every day. The great dailies—what are they? How much of murder and rapine do they contain? Yet the editors are not to blame. The reporters are not to blame one half as much as you who indorse this thing—as the respectable and Christian people who have a relish for that filth, and you do relish it. Do you suppose the papers would print it otherwise? No, these ed- itors know you better than you know your- selves. Itistheir business to know you, and they realize that this sort of thing would be impossible if there were not a relish for it in otherwise respectable and Christian homes. “If you should go into the editorial rooms of these papers and find posted over the door ‘Thinketh no evil,’ you would think the millenium at hand. But all honor_to that paper which has already started out on tbat line! All honor to the editor of THE CALL for his editorial the other day on the line I have indicated, for which I personally called to thank him. ‘Would that the other papers would adopt that policy; for then indeed would the fil{’h of our courtrooms not be displayed before the young of our land.” THE PIONEER JEWELER. To-Day the Mortal Remains of Henry M. Lewis Will Be Laid to ? Rest. The funeral of Henry M. Lewis, the pioneer jeweler and watchmaker of San Francisco, whose death was noticed in Sunday’s issue of Tue CaLy, will take place this afternoon at 1 o'clock from Pioneer Hall. The interment will be in the Hills of Eternity Cemetery in San Mateo County, and it will be private, The death of Mr. Lewis, though not un- expected, was very sudden. He was suffer- ing from fatty degeneration of the heart. On Saturday he had rallied a little and was talking to his wife, when he called for his watch. It was handed to him, and after he ascertained the time of day he started to wind the watch, but before that operation was completed the color forsook his face, his hands dropped by his side and his hezd fell back on his pillow. Mr. Lewis came to this city on the bark Matilda in comgany with Colonel A. W. von Schmidt, the well-known civil engi- neer, and others, in April, 1849, The only survivor of the passengers by that vessel is Colonel yon 8chmidt. Soon after reaching here Mr. Lewis, who was a practical jeweler and watchmaker, started in_business on the site of the store he occupied up to the time of his death. Like many of the other old pioneers, he suffered losses by the great fires in the early fifties, but he'always re- established himself at the old stand and pointed with pride to his sign, *“The Pio- neer Jeweler and Watchmaker.” Finally he purchased the ground, upon which he built the brick house where he died. He had for a nej hboring structure the large building on the southeast corner of Cla; and Kearny, in which, on the groun floor, was Key’s Clothing Emporium, then the most famous clothing-house in the city. On the upper floor was Ford’s daguerrean gallery. This was before the days of the ambrotype and of the photo- graph. = W}’hen Mr. Lewis started in business the charge was $10 for cleaning a watch and a like amount for replacing a broken main- spring—if there was one in his stock to fig. A watch crystal cost §1. Then in the jewelry line the only things in demand were those that were attractive. The furore in the early days was what was known as the specimen pin for men and brooches for women. Fantastic pieces of pure native gold were mounted as scarf- pins, while smaller pieces were joined to- ther and worked into brooches. Every- g:dy had one or more of these, and every- body sent one or more East or to Europe to relatives and friends. In making these Mr. Lewis realized a great deal of money, for the charges were high, though the material was plentiful. Mr. Lewis was al- ways a business man, and never moved from the place in which he first located. Besides his widow and daughter he leaves a brother, who has been in mercantile business for many years, There 18 really no ! IN'HONOR OF THE SANTS Special Services Held at St. Ignatius and St. Dominic’s Churches. HIGH MASSES CELEBRATED, Father Netterville Tells of the Life and Work of the First Do~ minlcan. The feasts of St. Ignatius and St. Dom- inie were celebrated yesterday in the two churches dedicated to them in this City. In St. Ignatius Church, on Hayes street, the founder of the Society of Jesus was honored with a solemn and magnificent commemoration. The main altar was made beautiful with roses and fine ferns, the altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary with white lilacs, white chrysanthemums, white sweet peas and ferns; St. Joseph’s altar with pink chrysantbemums, pink Duchesse de Brabent roses and ferns; St. Aloysius altar, perle des jardins roses, La France roses and ferns; Sacred Heart altar, pink and white lilies, ferns and cocoa palms, Solemn high mass was celebrated at10:30 o'clock, when the church was densely crowded. Father Calzia, S.J., was cele- brant, and Rev. Mr. Butler, 8.J., master of ceremonies. The male choir of 100 voices of St. Ignatius Church rendered the mass by Fauconier-Battista, together with *‘Ecce Panis” and ‘Jesu Dulcis Memoria” of Rigo, with organ and orchestral accom- paniment. In the evening at 7:30 o’clock there were solemn vespers and bemedic- tion, at whick Giorza’s vespers, ‘“Cor Jesu Flagrans,” “Moriconi” and “Tantum Ergo,” by Donizetti, were sung by the male choir. The soloists for both services were Messrs. Jones, Morrissey, Mills and ‘Wood. Father Maher, O.P., preached a sermon enlogistic of the saint and his life’s wdrk. The Dominican Fathers of St. Dominice’s, corner of Bush and Steiner streets, com- memorated the birth of their patron saint with fitting ceremonies. The life and works of this good man, his arduous labors in the cause of religion, and his many personal sacrifices during a long veriod of devout and faithful service were reviewed by Father Netterville in an eloquent sermon delivered to a large congregation. The church was beautifully decorated with alms, ferns and evergreen wreaths, while Eanxs of flowers lay in great profusion about the altar rail. E The services opened at 10:30 A. M. with a solemn high mass, the celebrant being Father Harrington. He was assisted by Father Dyson as deacon and Father Brun as sub-deacon. Father Wyman of the Paulists and Father Hiciey, 8.J., officiated in the sanctuary. Instrumental music of a high order was furnished by volunteers from the church, and the_chorus was made up of Miss Price, Miss Lawlor, Miss Gleason, Miss 8hannon, Miss Hickey and others. Miss Emma Desmond was the organist. The sermon of Father Netterville, O.P., dealing with the early life of the founder of the order, and the remarkable growth of the order itself, was full of interest and forcible illustration. The speaker told of the founding of tbe Dominican Order in the’ thirteenth century by St. Dominic, and of its subsequent growth until the organization reashed out over all the world, Though small in membership, when compared with eertain other orders of the church, the Dominicans have always been distinguishea for devout lives and scholarly attainments. Some of the most learned men in the church have come from this or- der, which has given to the world three Popes,a dozen Cardinals, as many Bishops and many canonized saints. Saint Dominic was nearly through with a long life of labor in the church when he conceived the idea of organizing this great order which bears his name. The work of his life, a labor for which he seems to have been specially designed by Providence, was the conversion of ‘the heretical Albigenses in Southern France and North- ern Italy. For seventeen years, often at the peril of his life and at all times sur- rounded by the menace of dire poverty, he taught the the truths of Christianity to these benighted people, never ceasing from the task laid out for himself in early life until the last traces of heresy had disap- peared. Then he retired to the monastery of St. Augustine and there consummated his plans for the order. THE THEATERS. Attractions Offered at the Playhouses This Evening. The attraction at the Baldwin ihis even- ing will be “Too Much Johnson,” written by William Gillette. It is a comedy of many funny situations, and the endeavors of the parties to set themselves right with those they come in contact with are very amusing. To-night is the first of the farewell week of the Krawley Company at the Columbia Theater. Tthplay selected is “All the Comforts of Home.” This will also be souvenir night, and every lady attending the performance will be presented with a group photograph of the company. “By Order of the Czar"” will be presented at the Morosco Grand Opera-house to- night. It 1is a highly sensational Elay that is made very attractive by the fine stage setting in addition to the strikins dialogue ion, This isits first production in this City. At the Tivoli Opera-house “Martha” will be presented, on which occasion George Broderick, a basso, will make his first ap- earance. He will be supported by Alice arle, who will appear in the character of Nancy, and by Laura Millard and Alice Nielson, who are to alternate as Harriet. There are many novelties in store for the patrons of the Orpheum to-night. The management has secured a number of new artists, among them Mons.

BODY FOUND ON THE SHORE. A Question Whether Death Was Acci- dental or a Suicide. An unknown man about 35 years of age was found dead on the beach, south of the tunnel of the Cliff House and Ferries steamcar line, at 2:30 o’clock yesterday. Whether the man’s death was accidental or afcase of suicide is a matter of con- jecture with the officers in the Coroner’s office. A. L. Shell of 502¢ Third street and L. W. Clark of 612 Buchanan street were walking along the shore looking for a good place to fish when they discovered the body iying face down on a little strip of beach at the foot of the high cliffs. The shore at that place is rough and broken and sharp rocks extend from the cliff far into the water. The men hastened to town and informed the Coroner. It was impossible to get within half a mile of the corpse with the Morgue wagon. Deputy O'Brien, with the assistance of five men, worked for several hours dmfi- ging the body up the face of the high cliff. An examination of the body showed that the man was about 35 years old. He had blue eyes, a short brown mustache, black hair, thin on top of the head. The man was dressed in a neat black suit of clothes, white shirt and white underwear. Strange to say his shoes and stockings were no- where to_be found. On the man’s head were half a dozen deep cuts, and there were two others on the temples. These were probably caused by the body being wnshes against the rocks. The palms of the man’s hands are so soft that it is evident he was not a laborer. The fact that his shoes were removed gives rise to the belief that he was wading and was knocked down ,by a breaker and killed before he could recover himself. The only property in his possession was two nickels. e ————— NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. ———————————— . M@@“‘J; PRICOLANDER.GOTTLOB & co- 12553 AMnmArAgERS -+ “AT REVOIR!
