THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1895. 21 | | Visitors to Japan may differ as to the icturesqueness her landscape, the color of the flowers, the richness of the temples, the t le of the skies and the grandeur of the old Fiji, b ey all agree that there is nothi rettier or more in- teres han n the little children of b thereo s Colonel John A.

You find them rolling and tumbling about the doors | ir homes, always at play. They tle you in the streets, and if you stop to zaze in a shop-window you will have a dozen or two of them grouped about you, open-eyed, wondering, always sweet- | natured and respectful. You find them | ' gaudiest raiment, with hair dressed in the fiercely bright colors is not an unusual sight, especially on the holiday assigned to her sex.

The little girls go in for uiet little parties and games, such as kotoro,” in which they all delight.

They own the country then. | Every house has a gay pole of bamboo, from which floats one or more gandy fish made of tough paper. The wind blows into the mouths of these fish and inflates them.

These fish are sup- | posed to represent carp, and the idea is in | that as the carp swims up the rivers| against the most obstructive currents, so | may a sturdy boy swim in life’s current | | and achieve fame and fortune. | 0 happy, loop-eyed, multitudinous | children of Japan!

Mrs. Chaplin-Ayrton has tried to ex- plain the goodness of Japarese children he theory that the furnitureless condi- n of Japanese houses leaves nothing for them to break, and they are not always told not to touch this or that. They are not lacking in animal spirits, but the rude | boisterousness of our children is not lack- ing in them. My theory is that much of the sweetness and goodness of the Japanese children is due to the fact that everybody is good to them. The adoption of children is quite general in Japan. No family name is ever allowed to run out. If a married man finds himself | without_children he looks about for a fine | male child, and if he can give the promise of bettering its condition he has no trouble in adopting it and giving it his name. The same affection and the same care go out to | adopted children, n&:narently, as to those | of consanguinity.

The artist may adopt his best pupil to the end that his work and name may go down to posterity. To per- mit a family to become extinct would be a grave offense to the deceased ancestors, and it is not permitted in Japan. Gene- alogical trees are not of the slightest use in this country, but good and pretty chil- dren are mnch in demand for adoption. I asked a Japanese married acquaintance re- cently if he had children, “Yes, two by adoption,” he answered; “a boy of fiveand a girl of three.” Thye girl, be said, be had adopted for the lad’s companion and playfellow. An American friend here, who has a large, convenient home and compound, pointed out to me one day, trotting about his premises, a charming little Japanese girl of seven. He said that one day she strolled into his place to look at some birds, a monkey and a bear that he had for the amusement of She was delighted, and soon be- visitors. - ' came a regular caller. She was kindly welcomed and the household soon be- came attached to her. 2 There are two days in each year which are totally given up to children in Japan. In Tokio, Kioto, Yokohama and all the cities of the country the “doll shops are gayly bedecked with what are call o hina sama—tiny models of both people ~and things, the whole Japanese court in miniature. Dolls of every conceivable leand variety seem to fill the landscape. his is the great holiday of little girls.

A Life-Time Mining Associate of Hay- ward aud Hobart. Charles F. Bridge, the pioneer mining man and secretary of the Hobart estate, died at 12:40 A. ». yesterday from paraly- sis. He suffered a first attack on the 6th inst., and never rallied. Deceased was born in Canton, St. Law- rence County, New York, in 1829. He came to California in 1850 and mined for a time in Shasta County. He went to Vir- ginia City for a time and then to Los Ange- les. Returning here he entered Alvinza Hayward’s employ and remained with him until he became one of the late Mr. Ho- bart’s assistants. For many years he has been secretary of the various mining opera- tions of Hn{‘ward & Hobart and Mr. Hobartchose him as one of the executors of his large estate. Deceased was ever considered the soul of honor and had the unlimited confidenge of all his associates. * A sister resides in Can- ton, N. Y, STABBED WITH SCISSORS, Murderous Attack by a Crazy Woman in a Hallway on Geary Street. Miss Mackey, the Victim, Had Seven Wounds Inflicted Upon Her Face and Body. Miss Mackey, who lives at 308 Stockion street, called upon a friend at 425 Geary street about 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. As she entered the hallway she was ac- costed by a woman, who asked her if she knew a Mrs. Anderson, who lived around there. Miss Mackey replied that she did not know any one of that name. “Give me a dollar,” said the woman. am the Queen.” Miss Mackey politely declined the re- quest, when the woman, without saying another word, attacked her with a scissors, She iabbed her in the face, neck and back, inflicting seven wounds, and would have continued the onslaught if the scissors had not broken. 8o sudden and unexpected was the at- tack and so_quickly were the wounds in- flicted that Miss Mackey bhad no time to give an alarm before the woman nad dis- appeared. Miss Mackey, although weak from the effects oi the attack, made her way to the drugstore on the corner of Mason and Geary streets. Dr. Lee was summoned and attended to her wounds, which though painful were not serious. She was able to £0 to her home. Policeman Hayden was notified of the affair and at once saw Miss Mackey at her room, He found her laboring under con- siderable excitement. She said she never saw the woman before, but described her as a woman between 35 and 40 yearsof age, with steel gray eyes, dark complexion, dark brown hair, low-sized and of slight build. She wore an old style sailor hat with high crown and black band, loose brown jacket and shabby looking dress. The policeman went to 425 Geary street ana found the broken scissors in the hall- way. It is believed that the woman was crazy. The police are searching for her. e ———— dolphus of Sweden was, it is said, the first to dispense with the regular declaration of war.

[ Gustavus e st s, RIS ST They Wrestle With the Ques- tion of the Tiburon County Road. WHY IT IS NOT FINISHED. A Letter From Assemblyman James H. Wilkins That Offended the Board. L] The Board of State Prison Directors met yesterday at San Quentin, there being present Du Pue, Hayes and Fitzgerald. ‘Warden Hale is now at Denver, Colo., at- tending the National Convention of State Prison Wardens, so the business was con- fined principally to routine matters. Be- fore departing the Warden made out his regular report. In it be stated that all of the departments of the prison are in good condition. The jute department is mak- ing 13,000 bags a day, and consumes twenty-eight to thirty bales of jute. There are 3093 bales of jute on hand, which will run the mill until January. The entire yard around the cel! buildings has been laid with bituminous rock. Carpenters and painters are now repairing floors, roofs and other woodwork in some of the buildings, He recommends that the buildings occupied by the officers be re- paired, and the directors ordered the work done at once. In his report the Warden said that a committee of citizens of Marin Eounty called upon him with reference to the work on Tiburon road, across the marsh from Greenbrae, being discontinued. He informed them that the reason the work was stopped was because of the great ex- pense of carrying on the work. Extra guards have to be employed to look after the convict laborers engaged in the work, and wheelbarrows, tools and rubber beots, etc., have to be purchased. There was no clause in the act, he believed, which em- powered the employment of cenvicts in this work that made provision for the ex- penditure of money, and until some ar- rangement was made to defray the ex- penses the work would have to be discon- tinued. He was_ perfectly willing to do the work with the prisoners if the means were provided. District Attorney E. B. Martinelli of Marin County appeared with Attorney Henry Eickhoff to represent a committee a citizens who are protesting against the work being discontinued. They presented a petition setting forth that ander a special act of the Legislature the Warden was au- thorized to employ at least twenty persons daily on the road; that the Warden prom- ised the Board of Supervisors to huild the road if the Supervisors would bridge the creek. The bridge had been built, but for the past year or so the work had been at a standstill. The Board of Prison Direetors was requested to see that the work was re- sumed at once. There were other peti- tions sent in from citizens of surrounding counties that the work be completed. They stated that such a highway was an abso- lute necessity to them in order to reach tide water. The non-compliance of the Warden with the agreement was workinga great hardship upon them, as there was now uo good road beyond San Rafael. PLe s Hurney whbirerressnitea the pal tioners presented a communication from Assemblyman James H. Wilkins, in which the latter bitterly assailed Warden Hale for not continuing the work, and asserted that the only time Mr. Hale took an active interest in the matter was when he was aspiring for gubernatorial honors. The letter was very long, and_the directors lis- tened to its reading with manifest dis- Measnre Tlteotr Thitaskia (3 oittad it 1t was altogether too personal to receive the attention the board would ordinarily give to a business communication. Di- rector Hayes added that the Warden should have an opportunity to reply to the letter before the matter could be acted upon. Director du Pue stated that it is not fair to the Warden to assail him during his ab- sence, and make charges that he has not acted in good faith, when the writer knew Mr. Hale was not present to reply., He said the question to be decided was if, un- der the act, the work can be resumed, and by what means. T, B. Valentine of San Rafael told the board that the prisoners had used too much earth from the marsh, outside of the roadway. Mr. du Pue stated that several of the bills for goods had been presented to the Board of Examiners, which had refused to give its indorsement. After this decision the Warden and the directors did not see their way clear to continue the work. Director Fitzgerald suggested that the matter be referred the Attorney-Gen- eral to see if he is of the opinion that the act provides for the prison directors to stand_the expense for tools, rubber boots, etc. If he decides that the act does not provide for the State to stand these ex- penses the directors should know it. At resent they believe such to be the case. t the Auomei]'-(}eneral is of the same opinion then there is nothing they or the Waraen can do in the premises. Attorney Eickhoff and District Attorney Martinelli stated that if the Attorney-Gen- eral agrees with the Warden and the board they know that the people of Marin County, and_possibly other localities interested in baving the road built, would stand the expense for the transportation of convict laborers to and from the road, the cost of tools, rubber boots, etc. With this under- standing the matter was laid over until an opinion can be obtained from the Attor- ney-General. A number of people interested in obtain- ing pardons for convicts asked for a hear- ing, as the Governor has sent all the petitions for pardons to the board for its indorsement or disapproval. While sev- eral of these were beard no action was taken. Sister Julia of the Sheltering Arms of San Francisco made a pleaon behalf of Mrs. Pauline Murray, who was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment for receiving stolen goods in San Francisco. She said that the woman's two older daughters have become wayward, but the mother can save the two younger ones now under Sister Julia’s charge. She added that the woman was driven to her ruin by a worthless hus- band. Herimprisonmentcaused her mind to become unbalanced, and for a time she was kept in the Agnews Asylum. She was now anflght mentally, and to recommend her pardon would permit her to save her two other children. The mother of Fred Wessel, who was sent from Santa Cruz for ten years, asked the board to recommend his pardon, She said that he is not guilty of the infamous act of which he was accused, and she had Br\(:o! of his innocence. The young man as been severely punished, and she wishes to get him out =0 he can learn a trade. He has twoand a balf years yet to serve. ‘Three convicts were disciplined by the board for violating the rules of the prison. George Baker forfeited two years’ credits for smuggling opium into the prison to sell, He has had a ball and chain fastened to him for several days for the offense. He had been the Warden’s gardener. ‘William Reed forfeited one year's credit for a similar offense. He bad been work- ing in the quarry. 5 ohn Fragier forfeited three months’ credits for_striking an officer. The fellow bad been fighting with a Chinese convict in the jutemil!
