An Innovation to Be Introduced in the Shape of a Juvenile De- | partment. { The Free Library Trustees met last night. After the monthly report had been | submitted and approved, the question of | throwing open the ladies’ department on | the main floor was brought up. The secre- | tary said that everything was ready except | the electric lights, and these would be put | in within a week. The department will be therefore thrown open in about a week. It will be a great convenience to the ladies, and save them a flight of steps less te_ chmb. It was decided to introduce an innova- tion by making the department upstairs now reserved for the ladies a juvenile de- partment. Juveniles will have free access to it at all times. It will be in charge of a competent lady attendant, who will direct MENLO'S STATELY PILE, The New Catholic Theological Seminary Nearly Com-~ pleted. TO BE AN IMMENSE COLLEGE. Fully a Million Dollars Will Be Ex- pended In the Bulldings Alone. The stately pile of buildings soon to be dedicated as the Catholic Theological Seminary just beyond the town of Menlo Park is being rapidly finished and if pres- ent expectations are fulfilled it will be completed within a year. For two years past nearly two hundred men have been constantly employed in the erection of dence and the Judge’s charge were both against Scanlan, but the jury came to the conclusion that the pemf:y-ssooo fine or five years in San Quentin—was altogether t00 severe a punishment for the crime. At one time the jurors stood rine to three for conviction, and sent to Judge Morrow for the law governing the case. His Honor told them to come into court and he would instruct them. This the jurors refused to do, and, after being out three hours, they brought in a verdict of not guilty. Scanlan lives at 811 Filbert street. He is better known as ‘‘Pop,” and at one time was quite wealthy. Jones is the leader of the Welsh colony in San Francisco, and is also well known. The latter owed Scanlan some money, and wrote a postal card re- flecting upon Jones’ ability to pay his gro- ceryman. FORCES OF A SUNBEAM.

The several committees made their reports, which were decidedly encouraging. So much so in fact that “A Night in Boathside,” asthe demonstration is called, may already be termed a success. The committee appointed to extend an invitation to Charles M. Shortridge, edi- tor of “THE CALL, to deliver an address on that occasion reported favorably. The other speakers seiected are Congressman Maguire, James H. Barry, George D. Shad- bourne,William Hendrickson, Judge Groe- zinger, Deputy United States District At- torney Schlessinger, H. F.

The letter-carriers in the Postoffice are under surveillance, and they do not like it. Oscar Auston has been sent out from Washington, and either he or one of his deputies 1s now in the City. The reason of their being here is the claim of $1,500,- 000 against the Government made by the carriers throughout the United States. In 1887 the free delivery law was amended. Up to that time the carriers worked until the mail bad been finally handled. When Congress passed a law making eight hours a day’s work the overtime began to pile up, and soon claims amounting to a million and a half; had accrued. Just how much necessity there was for this overtime the Government wants to find out, and that is why Mr. Auston is now on the coast. 1. SCHWARTZ, Highest of all in Leavening Power,— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Roval [ Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE 4 the largest ecclesiastical college this side | 0 ithe Mississippi River. The estimated cost of the work on the tract of ground on which it is erected represents in itself a very large invest- ment. This was bequeathed by the late Mrs. Kate Johnson. The buildings, which are constructed of red brick and cut stone, with slate roofs, have a frontage of 400 feet and a depth of 580. Within the various subdivisions there will be included a junior college, a senior college, a building set apart for the administration department, a large chapel, and a refectory large enough to accommo- date all the students and faculty of the institutfon. The object aimed at is to provide an in- stitution devoted to the teaching of the- ology in all its branches. It will, how- ever, embrace a preparatory college de- voted exclusively to the training of young men after their graduation from parochial schools, and in which they will receive a thorough collegiate education preparatoly to their entrance into the theological de- partment. The brick work on the administration building, which extends across the entire front of the structure and on the junior college,which includes the entire left wing of the building, and on the chapel in the rear of the administration building has been completed, and the slate roofing of these divisions is already in place. The work at the present time is confined to the ower-house, laundry and kitchen, the low buildings in the rear, and when these have been finished the only remaining uncompleted portion of the seminary will be the senior college, which will constitute the left wing of the structure. The buildings are to be finished in hard wood, with oak floors throughout, and will afford accommodation for about 300 stu- dents. The junior and senior colleges will be about 80 feet in width by 302 in length and three stories in height. On the first story of each there will be seven classrooms, a library and a lavatory: the second and third stories will comprise the large dormitories to be occupied by the students. The chapel, which is located between these two corridors in the rear and adjoin- ing the administration building, consti- tutes one of the most attractive features of the structure. It will be 108 feet in length by 48 feet in width, and have a tower 40 feet square, rising to a height of 240 feet. The administration building will have a frontage of 260 feet and from the front of the tower to the back of the chapel a depth of 80 feet. The massive tower which is situated directly in the center is 35 feet square and rises to a height of 220 feet. The main entrance to the building is located here and is approached by a broad flight of steps. On the upper floors of this building are situated the Archbishop’s and the Superior’s apartments, as well as the suites of rooms set apart for the use of the professors and tutors, each of which will consist of a bedroom and a study. On the third story will be located the library of the seminary. 1t is intended that the library shall be of the most complete character. ~Aside from the vast collection of books treating of spiritual, religious and theological subjects it will be replete with a widely selected assortment of general and secular litera- ture. The architectural style of the building will be Romanesque throughout. o The grounds are to be beautifully laid out. Appropriate statuary will be placed along the driveway and about the walks, and the appearance of the entrance to the grounds will be greatly enhanced by the e:eclion of an impressive archway of cut stone. The architect, C. I. Devlin of this City, rsonally supervising the work. Iready it has been the subject of much comment in church circles, both in the East as well as at home, and when com- pleted it will be one of the handsomest college structures in America. SOANLAN ACQUITTED. Accused of Sending a Threatening Postal Card Through the Mail. C. H. Scanlan, accused of sending a threatening postal card to W. A. Jones, was acquitted by a jury in the United ! Btates District Court yesterday. Tke evi- is these vast buildings which will constitute | puildings alone is about $1,000,000, and the | moons. These eclipses come on time, he said, though they appear to be sixteen and a half minutes late. This apparent short- | age was due to the distance which must be | traveled by light before the calculation can be made. Dr. Warren also told of the | length of time it required for light toreach | the earth, camparing it with the speed of a cannon ball, which travels at the rate of 2000 feet a second. The seven forces mak- ing up the white light were explained and the speed with which each color travels. A reception will be given Dr. Warren at the Central Methodist Church on his return from the Southern California conferences. September 20 is the date selected. SAUSALITO'S GAY CLUBS, They Incurred the Wrath of the Town Council and Will Be Warned. Selling Liquor to Non-Members—A Protest Agalnst Certaln Improvements. There was nearly a divorce between Sausalito and her many gay clubs at the meeting of the Town Council last evening. J. W. Sperry stated that complaint had been made to him that the San Francisco Yacht Club had been selling liquor to non- members. Two saloon-keepers contended that it was an injustice to them to have their customers taken away from them. Commodore Harrison stated that the com- plaint was well founded, but that the trouble was that the club had been unable toxronerly restrict the steward. fter much heated discussion General Dickinson, president of the council, arose and said that if Sausalito desired to drive the clubs away the Trustees could proceed to license them. Such a course was not required by law, and clubs in San Fran- cisco were not licensed. This threat had its effect, for after some further discussion it was decided that the stewards of the various clubs should be formally warned not to exceed their priyi- leges under pain of being licensed. There was also considerable friction over certain projected improvements. A com- munication addressed to a citizens’ com- mittee by 20 property-owners on California street was received protesting against improvements on that street. The grounds of the protest were that it would be an opening wedge for a scheme which threat- ened to confiscate ?roperty, The chair- man of the citizens' committee had re- fused to present the communication to the board for the reasons of the statement in the communication, and also because of a footnote to the effect that certain ;rogmrty- holders whe had bought the land at bed- rock prices were now trying to prevail on their neighbors to pay for the improve- ments, The communication was considered an insult by the board, but when it was learned that Con O’Leary had handed it to the clerk, it was decided to receive and place it on file as an evidence that some people did not wish their nrogwen{ im- roved. Mr. O'Leary said that be did not now of the footnote. General Dickinson, president of the board, defied any one to prove that there was any scheme to con- fiscate property. Another protest against improving Water street, from El Monte lane to John- son street, on the ground that it was un- necessary at present, was allowed. A resolution by J. W. Sperry that all the property-holders whose fences extend into the street should have them removed pro- voked a lively discussion. The matter was postponed to the 16th inst. The clerk was ordered to notify all pro- testants against the closing of a certain street through the Pacific Yacht Olub grounds that they would be heard on the 16th inst. The matter of establishing the grade on Caledonia and Easterly streets was also carried over to the 16th inst., to which date the meeting adjourned. —————————— Free This Week. 12 BIG PRESENTS—ONE GIVEN Each Pound of Our EXTRA VALUE 50-CENT TEAS.

Then she broke down. “That is all,” said the plaintiff’s attor- ney when his inquiries were ended. The woman had buried her face in her hands, and she did not move. “That is all, Mrs. Rodgers,” said one of the attorneys for Mrs. McLean. “You may go,” the latter attorney re- peated again, but still the witness re- mained in her chair. Clerk Fitzgerald turned to the woman and he saw that she had fainted. He and others carried her to the anteroom, where in half an hour the witness recovered suf- ficiently to be removed to her home in a carriage. The next witness was the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. McLean, a bright and modest girl of 14 or 15 years. This child was ques- tioned at great length about her mother’s acquaintance with Mr. Watt, the evangel- ist. The manner of the attorneys was kind, but it was evident that the girl suf- fered through the inquiry, and finally Judge Hebbard put an abrupt stop to that part of the proceedings. “Did your mamma say she had been away with Mr. Watt?’ asked one of the attorneys for the girl’s father. “No, sir.” “Did she say she had been anywhere with him ?”’ “No, sir.” “Did she say where she had been with him?” *No, sir.” “Did she say she had been in the street- car with him?” *No, sir.”” Here Judge Hebbard broke in and said: “Now, this little girl has been on the stand for two hours. She has answered all Charles Montgomery on the Stand. [Sketched by a *“ Call” artist.] these questions and there seems to be no more evidence that she can give. I will lfiave"to shut off this examination right ere. The attorney volunteered to change his course of inquiry, but Judge Hebbard was determined. “No, sir,” said the Judge, “‘this has gone far enonih.” And then the little girl who had pa- tiently and bravely gone through the or- deal stepped down from the witness-chair, and with flushed face made her way as quickly as possible through the gaping crowd and out of the courtroom. Charles Montgomery, the hotel man, was called to estriefx about Evangelist ‘Watt, and he decla: that the preacher was ill in the hotel at times when he was declared by the detectives to be out stroll- ing with Mrs. McLean. He contradicted the plaintiff’s testimony in several par- ticulars. Mr. Montgomery said that Mr. Watt had told him about the trouble with the McLeans and that the matter had been submitted to him as a referee. He caused a hearing to be given before two Christian men. Attorney Watt asked: Who were the Christian men? Mr. Monroe and myself. You were one of them? e s. Did you reprimand Mr. Watt?

Idon’t know; I didn’t see it. It was called the muscle dance, wasn’t it? a Yes, or it might have been called an obscene ance. Mr. Watt didn’t den; that he had taken Mrs. McLean to that dance? Noj; he was very frank about it. What arrangement was made about Watt and Mrs. McLean? That they should separate and remain away from each other. Didn’t Watt say that Mrs. McLean was en- amored of him? No, sir. To what church do you and Mr. Watt belong? It has no name. Well, what do you call it? We just take the names the Scriptures give | ‘us—Christians or believers. ! But how do you speak of your church? Christians githered in the name of the Lord. ‘What do you call yourselves? Sometimes Christians, sometimes brothers, sometimes saints. ‘What is your position in that church? No position ; we are all the same. Have you a minister? No,sir. No paid minister. Any one who usually preaches to you? No one regularly. Do you preach? Yes; sometimes. Did George Watt preach? A few times. ‘Was he not an evangelist in your society? Like all the rest of us.

Was he not suspended on account of the trotibles with Mrs. McLean? i No, sir. Has he preached since for you? No. He hasn’t asked and he has not been invited. Then the case went back again to the Midwinter Fair. How many times did Watt take Mrs. McLean to the muscle dance? Twice, I think. What did he say about it? He said it was so bad that they wouldn't sit through it. But still they went back a second time? And without an answer to the question the case closed for the day. | final THE FERRY FOUNDATIONS, Harbor Commissioner Colnon Uses His Blue Pencil on a Southern Pa- cific Company’s Order. The Board of Harbor Commissioners yesterday sat down guite hard on the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. That corporation had notified the Morton Transfer Company, which has a little office on the Oakland ferry wharf, that on and after September 1 said little office would be closed, and Superintendent K. A. White nailed up the door. Morton, who pays rent to the State, sent the notification to the Commissioners. President Colnon took his pen in hana and wrote under Mr. White’s mandate that the State of California considered that as a tenant the Morton Transfer Company was equal in every way to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and could not see why the latter assumed any jurisdie- tion over the former. That point rested with the Harbor Commissioners. The office was unlocked and the transfer company is there yet. Chief Engineer Howard C. Holmes made his final report regarding the completion of the ferry foundations. Commenting upon the magnitude of the work he says: ‘ First—This piece of concrete, pile and grill work is undoubtedly one of the lur%uh ifnot the largest in the known world (embodying as it does the removal of some oid” and sub- merged piles and the use of 5000 new Jlles, 30,000 cubic yards of concrete and 40,000 barrels of cement), and considering that in the course of construction 30,000,000 people have passed to and fro over the same, that on an ave) 150 men have been employed continu- ously for the past two years, that there has not been an accident of any kind whatever; and with ferry-boats making quarter-hourly trips from the front of said locality, that have not been delayed one minute or lost a single trip during this time, speak for themselves. Second—That out of the 36,000 barrels of ce- ment actually used in the work there was not & single barre) of the sanie but what was found to be fully up to the standard. 1t is also true, notwithsianding whatever may be said to the contrary, that the tests of the concrete blocks taken indiscriminately from four different por- tions of the foundation by the university ex- perts were, in_the case of the poorest, 40 per cent, and in the case of the best 90 per cent above the average concrete of that age. All the authorities give the avera; crushing strength of concrete six months old at sixty- five tons per square foot. The poorest block taken from the foundation exceeded eighty- nine tons and the best 119. tons; this, together with the fact that the arches were tested with a steam roller to the extent of 10,000 pounds Pper square foot, or 120 times the possible super- imposed load due to passengers, is an evidence of good work. In closing I will state without fear of contrae diction that there are few if any cases of Gove ernment orrub\ic contracts involving the ex- penditure of $340,000 where in the final settle~ ment the amount paid for the same, as in this case, was $17,000 less than the original con- tract firice. The difference is almost invaris ably the other way. - President John McMullin of the San Francisco Bridge Company was in attend. ance on the board yesterday regarding the ayment of the contract price for the foundation construction. The question of the responsibility of the expense incurred by the storage of cement while the work was under way was discussed. Mr. Mec- Mullin held that his comg{aniowu delayed by the former Board of Harbor Commis- sioners, which was in turn delayed in pre- paring the sites for the proposed work. Attorney Ford was urpesled to, and an- swered that if McMullin's statement was correct the board was responsiole for the cement storage, but he wanted until next Thursday to decide. Mr. Colnon stated afterward that there | was no question as to the justice of the Spreckels bill for the storage. That had been paid by the board when presented, but the question was, Who is responsible for the expense--the State or the bridge company? *‘I believe, myself,” said he, “that the unavoidable delay in getting | ready for the contractor to proceed throws the responsibility on the State and not on the bridge company. But I, for one, want to be sure.” : The report of A. Page Brown, architect, was taken up, and upon motion was laid on tie table. Mr. Colnon stated that he did not consider that Mr. Brown had any connection with the board, and conse- qqentdly that his report could not be re- ceived. To Beauty Is an elegant Dressing Case.
