The Bawnmore With Her Oda- Looking Deckload—Naval Bat- talion at Home. Yesterday the visitors on the water front were entertained with the labors of a diver searching the bottom of the whaleback steamer Progressist at Folsom-street wharf for a leak. When he donned his brass and rubber suit and let himself sink down in the bay, he carried an incandescent light | in his hand, and by its bright gleam his movements could be indistinctly seen under the water, giving his large audience perched on the dock some idea of the work of men who go down in the sea under the State of district and union high schools, but in a measure owing to a growing desire tqurepnre for college. 1t seems that in the last four years, or since Stanford University opened, the num- ber of college studentsin California hasin- creased 400 per cent. Mr. Black said that last year’s school census tor this State showed an increase af about 10,000 children between the ages of five and seventeen years,and 3800 of that increase in Los Angeles County alone, 2500 being in the city itself. The so-called school census, he explained, is misleading to the public when the census number is compared with the actual num- ber enrolled in the schools. The census is taken only as a means of forming some | basis for apportionment of school funds by the State, and does not show the num- ber of persons of school age, which is be- tween six and twenty-two years. With respect to teachers and teaching he said: “We want State normal graduates in our ?ublic schools, and preference given to teachers who have received a grammar school or a high school training. And I | should like to see more men teachers. 'he proper education of a youth requires that he should come in contact with teach- ers of both sexes. The mother properly has the earliest influence over the child, and even up to the age of 9 the child should have a woman teacher.

The leak was caused by the forcing in of a steel plate near the vessel’s bow, and while not large has necessitated the con- | stant use of the steam pump to keep the big ship free from water.

State Superintendent Black Visits City Schools and Talks of School Affalrs. 8. T. Black, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is in the City visiting some of the public schools, particularly those in the districts south of Market street and around Telegraph Hill, Yester- day he gave some of his views on the con- aition and needs of the public schools gen- erally. “I think,” he said, “that the public schools ought to be entirely beyond the influence of partisan politics. The mem- bership of school boards might well be re- duced, and the personnel of a board should be only partially changed at each election. It seems to be the opinion in the prin- cipal cities I have visited in the East that continuous boards are needed. It would be much better if only one-third instead of all the members of the San Francisco board went out of office every two years. “While in this City I wish particularly to examine the conditions of attendance upon the schools in the poorer districts. If there be a smaller proportional attendarice than in other parts of the City I want to learn the reason for it—whether it be on account of poverty of because of lack of interest among the foreign element. «I hope to visit every school in the State if possible, and since the Legislature ad- journfed I have traveled 6500 miles for that purpose.” Speaking further on school matters the Superintendent remarked that there has been in the last year a great increase in the number of high' school students, due prin- | cipally to the establishment throughout | Taylorstreet an begins to have a greater respect for women.” When asked what was_being done in the | public schools toward raising the standard of English composition he said that in the last few years more attention hasbeen de- voted to English literature and composi- tion than to any other study, but that it would.be several years before the effect will be noticed in those who take the en- trance examinations for Berkeley and Palo Alto, especially the latter institution,where nct twenty per cent of the applicants for admission succeed at first in passing the examination imposed in English com- position. WILL NOT REFURNISH. The Lick House Petition Dismissed Yes- terday by Judge Slack. There was a hearing of the Fair admin- istrators’ permission to refurnish the Lick House yesterday, all the representatives of the estate and their various attorneys appearing before Judge Slack. The ad- | ministrators were not, prepared to show | that the furnishing of the hotel was a ne- cessity and the petition was dismissed. e EGGS ALL SUMMER. How to induce hens to lay eggs all summer in Californis, as they do in the other States | east of us, appears to be not generally known, | and yet it is a simple thing to do, which the | writer demonstrated twenty years ago in Santa | Barbara with the most satisfactory results. | Carloads of eggs constantly come to California. from the East, and our money is sent away to pay for them, while the poultry business in this State is sadly neglected. Here is a home industry &hich can easily be developed and made an important factor in the increase of our Fruspemy and in the enjoyment of our people. The production of fresh “home-made” egf! in summer would be no insignificant item in the development of home industries, and to that subject Iinvite the special attention of our farmers and fruit-growers, and ask them to put to & practical test,on ever so limited a scale if need be, the method which is nerewith | submitted, and to make a thorough trial of it. If the hens have quit laying, a month or six weeks may be required to put them in the “notion” of laying again. Every poultrymen and every groceryman in the State knows that after the fall rains come and the grass grows for & month or so the hens begin to 1ay. And why isit? Simply because they are supplied by nature with the proper food, The poultryman who wishes his hens to continue in the business must offer them the inducement which nature does when the fall rains renew the green grass and cool and moisten the ;iround; that is, he must provide them with all the green feed they will eat, but it may well be cabbage and vegeiables such as hens like in the piace of green grass, and a supply of coarse fresh meat ln the place of the worms and bugs which come with the fircen grass. They are also very fond of fresh fruit, tomatoes, etc, which may be unfit for the ];mutket or which will not pay to ship to mar- et. Hens suffer in summer from the heat,ns any one who has eyes in his head can see, but only because they are not properly protected against it. They need deep shade and plenty of fresh water, with fresh, moist earth turned up daily with the spade or plow for them to use in cleansing their feathers and getting rid of vermin. Their yard and nests should be kePz clean and fresh, the yard cleaned thoroughly every day. In many places in California the sunflower will grow as a weed if it is planted, but will grow with great yigor if pro);lerly cult tivated. It will then afford a fine shade for the hens, though fig trees afford a better shade and leave room for the air to circulate. Sun- flower seed is superb feed for the hens. These hints will serve to point out the way to success in producing eggs in abundance in summer, if intelligent men and women will follow them out with thoroughness in the management of their poultry. Itis high time for a better development of the egg uu}ustry. 5 B T The Survival of the Fittest.

BAR BILLS ARE FATAL TO ART. Seven Members Who Paint Are Said to Have Been Dropped From Membership. It is whispered by the Bohemian Club owl that the exalted profession of oil paint- ing is not the *‘open sesame” to the liquid refreshments on tap at that institution. The difference of opinion arising on this point has caused an eruption, and the owl further whispers /that seven men who paint—not altogether for pleasure, but for a living—have been dropped from the membership lists until certain accounts centering in the tag department of the club are liquidated. To be sure, these little bills have been long in accumulating, and during the time occupied in getting them together a great many enjoyable and festive affairs have been produced. Of course the gentlemen who enjoyed them were not all artists, but those who paint certainly had a very large hand in the accumulation. In times gone by it has been the custom, in at least some cases, for the directors to look with admiring eyes and great satisfac- | tion upon the works of art that the gentle- men who create with a brush have pro- duced, and call small accounts off; but in these times, when the stringency in the money market isevident on all hands, that spirit of generosity does not prevail, and an artist’s dollar, when he has the same, is | as good as any other. Of later years, however, it has been found to be a good scheme to pull the cash register on one and all, young and old, irrespective of various abilities, gifts or talents, and call upon them to proceed with the act of balancing accounts. There are times when a man is engaged upon a picture that will when sold put | him beyond the profaning breath of a col- lector, but then the trouble seems to lie in the fact that it takes too long to com- plete the work in a great many cases. In the light of these things and several others the directors met recently and turned those pictures toward the wall that might move them to relent and biting their lips decided that the term “put up or quit” must be enforced to the letter. It was a hard struggle, but mastering their feelings and closing their eyes to the beau- ties of art they succeeded in gettin through with the business and adjourne to the fresh and invigorating atmosphere which the true artist loves to depict in his | landscapes. It wasa terrible ordeal, but the august directors have demonstrated | that they can rise to an occasion and ren- der an impartial judgment without fear and without favor. Blessed be the names | of the directors and perpetual be their works. In the meantime, while the owl con- tinues to hint at further and more gigantic moves of club diplomacy, the walls of the Post-street _quarters are gaping for new | works in oil, pastels, crayons and water- colors, but there are no masters to paint them. Woe stalks abroad, and the dust will settle on the old gems, while the hang- ing committee will haye to resign or compelled to report no progress. There will be no more cartoons of local events, and the sire’s picture, which gen- | erally goes with all state occasions, will probably have to be painted by some outside colorist, who does not know the cause of their creation, and who has never had the pleasure of signing a tag within the sanctified and haflowed walls of the famous clubrooms, The suddenness with which the blow fell has caused no end of shocks to those who had their necks under the directors’ guil- | There Was very An?ry and in broken Enelish pro- claimed his intention not to pav. Chief Deguty Collector Loup walked up to him and said: “My good fellow, I am not in the habit of giving advice, but if you know what is good for you pay that §25 and $12 50 fine at once and say nothing more about it.”’ At this the restaurant man became furi- ous and exclaimed: *“Thisisno country for a white man to live in. My country i8 good enough for me. I'm not going to pay that tax.” Deputy Revenue Agent Bert M. Thomas rushed up to the office of the United States District Attorney and secured a warrant. When the restaurant-man got home a dep- uty marshal was in charge of the restau- rant anc he was arrested for selling liquor without a license. He sent for his attorney and once more repaired to the Internal Revenue Office. This time he was very penitent, but Chief Deputy Loup could do noching for him, so he had to go to the Marshal’s otfice. There he paid the $25 license for his res- taurant, the $12 50 fine and $4750 ex- penses, and went home a sadder but wiser man. This recalcitrant will pay his license on time next year. INTHE CITY PLAYHOUSES The Various Attractions That Filled the Theaters Last Evening. Demonstration of the Power of Hypnotism—A Play That Makes You Laugh. “Laugh and the world laughs witn you,” eaid Ella Wheeler Wilcox, but those who crowded the Baldwin Theater last night and witnessed “Too Much Johnson,” laughed inde- pendently of the world. Mr. Gillette and his clever company in this play present one of the brightest bits of fun that has ever been offered to a san Francisco audience. From rise to fall of curtain there is not time for any one to col- lect & sober thought. The engagement is for the balance of the week and for nmext week. Judging from the manner in which this play hes been received, the last night will undoubt- edly show that the theater-goers have not had 100 much Johnson. On Monday week the favorite comedian, John Drew, will open at this house with his latest success, *“The Bauble-shop,” a masterly work by Henry Arthur Jones. The sale of seats will commence on Thursday next. The Columbia. There was not & vacant seat in the Columbia Theater last night, which is an indication of the appreciation by the theater-goers of the Frawley company. The play was “The Arubian Nights,” a farce-comedy representing entangle- ment, complication and reconciliation. It will be repeated to-night, and will be followed by “Young Mrs. Winthrop” and “Moths.” On Sunday night the company willappear 1 “The Senator” and say farewell.

But his display of the power of hypnotism over Miss Lilly Oritz excites an interest greater than that taken in his sleight-of-hand performance. He puts Miss Oritz in a trance on the stage, and instructs the band to play its loudest to prevent her from hearing, when people in the audience tell him, in & whisper, what they wish her to do. He then, without speaking a word, wills her to accompany him among the sudience, and while there, without speaking to IT IS WHISPERED BY THE OWL AND OTHERS TEAT ART IS NO MORE IN BOHEMIA. some time before art will reénin its e%x; brium again or start- ling effects will Iroduced with impres- sionistic swipes and pallet-knife daubs.

DIDN'T LIKE THE TAX, His Refusal to Pay It Cost Him Double the Amount in Fines and Expenses. The keeper of a restaurant on Washing- ton street has more respect for American law than he had last Monday. He was one of the delinguents who did not pay his internal-revenue tax when it was due and | was consequently taxed an additional 50 | ver cent. When he learned of this fact he or tonehing her, induces her to perform every- thing asked. The other numbers on the pro- gramme are very entertaining. Ths Tivoli. “Martha” continues to draw erowds of musie- loving people to the Tivoli Opere-house. The opera is well sung, those in the leading roles being warmly applauded for the manner in which they sing their respective parts. The choruses are in excellent yoice. Genee’s com- m;i'-nphem. “The Royal Middy,” will follow “Martha.” The German Company. “Wohlthaeter der Menschheit” (Benefactor of Mankind) will be presented for the first time at the Baldwin Theater on Sunday night b the Conried Comedy Company. It is found: upon incidents connected with the death of the late Emperor Frederick Wilhelm of Ger- many. A numberof the actors will make up as prominent personages who are still living. “'As You Like It" at Sutro Heights, Mayor Sutro has been waited upon by a com- mittee of ladies l’egre!eulinl the Channing Auxiliary, to whom he hes given the use of his beautiful park for the contemplated open-air rformance of Shakespeare’s “As You Like t.” The date will be fixed some time during the week, and It is expected that Rose Coghlan, Maurice Barrymore, Henry E. Dixey, L. R. Stockwell and the entire company that will a, pear atthe Columbia Theater next week will appear in the play. Accommodations will be arranged for to seat not less than 5000 per- sons. MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSIONS, Blocks of Wood Burst in the Range of a Scott-Street Cottage. ANNOYING A LONELY WOMAN. The Steps, Doors and Windows ofa Home Smeared Wilth Filth and Tar. On two occasions within the past three weeks mysterious explosions have oc- curred in the residence of Charles Harris, a one-story frame cottage at 1821 Scott street, between Pme and Bush. The last of these was on the 31st of last morth. Harris is a baker and works on coast steamers belonging to Goodall, Perkins & Co., and is away from home a good por- tion of the time. His family consists of his wife and three young children. In describing her troubles yesterday Mrs. Harris said: I do not know why 1 am persecuted and annoyed as I have been. I can only attribute it to the revengeful spirit of parties who were engaged in a street row that I unfortunately witnessed. This occurred about & year ago. It was the case of & conductor on the Sutter- street line who was set upon by three men and %z, 7 The House Where the Explosion Took Place. severely beaten. I was summmoned to appear, but was never called as a witness. Several months after this occurrence I returned home one evening and found the steps leading to our home smeared with filth, Several weeks after there was another deposit of the same character of filth. Then after that the steps and the front door were smeared with tar and tar was also spilled on the steps, doors and windows on two other occasions. This was on & Sunday. Isaw a tall man do- ing this spiteful work, and started to run after him, but fell, covering my clothes and hands with tar. My little boy, who saw me fall, started to come to me,when hé, too, slipped and ruined a new suit of clothes. I'saw enough of the man 10 obtain a_warrant for the arrest of F. Meast- trite, but the case against him was dismissed for lack of positiveness as to identification. About three weeks ago one of the children found a piece of thick board in the front yard and threw it in the wocdpile. One evening I took that piece of wood and put it in the stove. It had only been there a few moments when there was & slight explosion, the covers of the range and the tea-keitle being blown off and the room filled with ashes, but no serious dam- age was done. 1 thought that it might have been a small cartridge that in some manner had got into the coal, but since what occurred on the last day of last month I concluded that it is the work of some enemy. On that day one of the children brought a piece of White wood less than a foot long and about three inches square. Both ends were tapered off in the shape of & 1 Women. pyramid. I was ironing at the time, and as the tire was going down I threw the wood in the range. Within three minutes there wasa loud explosion, the kitchen was filled with ashes and live coals, and & curtain at the window caught fire. I'had to throw water in a dozen or more places where live coals were burning into the strips of carpet on the floor. I then became so irightened that I could scarcely move, but when I recovered I discovered that one half of the piece of wood had been shat- tered into bits and the other haif only charred; that everything on the range had been blown off, ana that the grate bars had been broken. I was under thé impression that it was dyna- mite. 1 reported the matter to the golice. but know no more now than I did the day of the explosion, Though this occurred nearly a week ago Mrs. Harris is still very nervous and in mortal dread that gomething terrible may happen. The Worthington Case. Bome valuable evidence for the defense was given yesterday in the trial of Mrs. Worthing- ton on the charge of murder. Dr. Jerome An- derson expressed & strong opinion that the woman was insane when she fired the shots that killed Baddeley. This is in support of the evidence given by Dr. George Franklin Shiels at the two previous trials and during the present hearin * THE SUNDAY CALL THE CALL oF SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, WiLL CONTAIN A NUMBER OF INTERESTING FEATURES : “FATHER DAMIEN OF HAWAIL” By JoAQUIN MILLER, Poet of the Sierras. “GOLDEN GATE PARK REVISITED,” By CHARLES WARREN STODDARD, Poet of the South Seas.
