To capitalists the Ppropo: appeal with peculiar force after viewing the rushing Stanislans, the source of eternal power provided without money and without price except for the original investment and the percentage of wear. The mines_secured by the company are the Bald Hill and the Romaygio on the middle lode and the Tulloch and Sill | on the Utica or east lode. In addition to these were two fractional parts of claims, making the entire distance owned on the two veins just about one mile. The Bald Hill was bonded from F. Bruner for $20,000,a small sum in cash being paid. This claim has produced some very rich rock, and has in the shaft now ore that will run from_ $6 to $12 per ton. This rich ore chute is dipping south ata low angle into the Romaggio claim, which | was a strong inducement for securing that property. For the Rommagio property $30,000 was agreed to be paid, with a pro- vision that work shoula be commenced at once and prosecuted continuously. The only development work on this property is a tunnel crosscutting the vein about seventy-five feet from the surface; but in this tunnel the vein is ninety feet wide, of solid quartz, all low-grade ore—a regular “big bonanza” proposition if the ore shall increase in richness in depth. The claim the company is most pleased with, and which contains the greatest amount of rich ore in sight, is the Tulloch; for this $50,000 was paid—$10,000 cash, the balance in six months. There are many | interesting peculiarities in the ore of this mine. It contains very rich sulphurets, sometimes running into the thousands; it often carries a high percentage of tellurides; the richest ore is often a hard siate, black as coal, sometimes with narrow streaks of +white quartz running throueh it, literally shining with pure gold. These striking and rare combinations make beautiful and valuable cabinet specimens. Probably the most extensive work will be inaugurated on the Tulloch. Next to the Tuiloch, on the same vein, is the Jesse Sill, for which $20,000 was paid—$1000 cash, the balance in six months. It is not yet decided just where the mill will be located, but it wili probably be in a central point convenient to all four shafts, as is is designed to work the ore reserves in all the mines and produce enough during development work to keep the mill busy. The lofation will probably be decided on in a day or two ana the work of construction soon begun. 2 Addison Bybee, the electrical capitalist of the party, is president of the Phenix Telephone éompan)', a rival to the Bell, and he proposes to furnish « good service for §150 per month. In a conference to-night over the pro- posed railroad, Mr. Bybee’s engineer said: “] am confident from some surveys Jately made that a road to Angels from the railroad connections can be easily accom- plished. Mr. Bybee’'s business partner in Chicago has over a hundred miles of rails on hand, and as Mr. Bybee makes the mo- tors himself, we_can have a road running here in a hurry if the people show a dispo- sition to assist with roadbed, ties and rights f way.” 5 Mr.)}iybee is the owner of the Jenny Motor Company of Indianapolis, and his company will put in the power station on the Stanislaus. ; In addition to its investments on the mother lode at Angels, the company has been acquiring valuable mines at Mo- kelumne Hill, where it has an immense vein of low-grade ore that will pay to @lll. At that place the Blue Lakes Water Com- pany, of which Mr. Dobel of San Francisco is president, will put in an electric plant of sufficient power to operate the com- pany’s mines, as well as fifty other contig- uous mines.

A RAID IN THE MORNING. The Police Guarding the Church Against Further Undesired Decorations. There was tronble yesterday morning at the Ttalian Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul, on the corner of Dupont and “ilbert streets. The early risers were sur- prised to see the front of the church build- ing decorated with Ttalian flags around a huge pasteboard shield, on which was the allegorical picture of the she-wolf nursing the infantile founders of Rome. In other words, the church was decorated with the emblems and colors of the present celebra- tion of the downfall of papal power in the Mediterranean peninsula. It seems that as early as 6 o’clock in the morning a body of half a dozen or more men went to the church and rapidly nailed the shield and the flags to the front of the building. About that time the sex- The Italian Church That Is Xeing Guarded by the Police. artist.] ton, A. Cosello, was in the back part of the church preparing to open the place for an early morning service. He heard the ham- mering and ran to the front door, which he threw open just as the last nail was driven M “osello was almost speechless with 8 rise when he saw ‘what had been done. Then he told the men that they had no bnsiness to do such a thing, and added that they had better remove the emblem and flags as their presence was inconsistent with the spirit of the churcl, They laughed at the sexton, who be- came angry and started to tear down the objectionable articles. This aroused the ire of the outsiders and, according to the sexton’s story, one of the party advanced upon him and threatened to brain with a hatchet if he touched either flag or shield. Mr. Cosello beat a retreat and the men went away. The sexton told the pastor, Father de Crolis, who, assoon as he was dressed, went out and tore down the decorations. Father de Crolis, in telling of the affair, said: I instantly recognized the act as an insuit to the church, and 1 was very indignant. As the men had gone so far, I did not know how much farther they would go, so I determined to ask for police protection. To tell the truth I feared E Broadway, Sept. 21. | The Humane Society is instrumental in | performing a great variety of tasks, and a | letter has just been received by the secre- tary asking the society’s intercession with the Board of Education. The request was sent in by the well- | known local character, 12-year-old Louis Smith. Smith was arrested several monllfi’ | ago by the secretary of the Humane So- | ciety of this city upon the charge of vag- | rancy, and was subsequently released b_\'l promising that he would beg no more. | | Since that time he has partly supported | his blind father and little sisters by selling | matches and lead-pencils on the streets, | This, with aid from a local charity, has kept the family comfortable. Louis is an unusuallv shrewd, bright | boy, and his propensities for making | money cannot be beaten by any boy of his | age in Oakland. Formerly he worked the Oakiand ferries | v a petition setting forth the facts that | his “‘mother was dead, father blind and | unable to work, that he had three little | sisters, one at home a cripple,” and that he needed money for their support. This | appeal bronght in pocketfuls of dimes, and | oceasionally a big dollar. Ouce his enterprise led him to take up a | collection in the Salvation Army barracks | while the members were out holding a | street meeting. When they proceeded to | take up the evening offering later on, there | was a decidedly small showing, for young Louis, by his patheticappeal, had cornered the small change of the congregdtion. Louis attended the Harrison-street school, where, though a quick scholar, his conduct was not according to rules, so he was sus- | pended, and as yvet has not been reinstated A counle of days ago he appeared in | person at the Humane Society’s office and informed the officers that he was anxious to attend school and obey the rules.

Itappearsthat of the injuries to passengers on English railways no less than 75 per cent are due to jumping on and off trains in motion. In spite-of the most stringent rules the high percentage | of accidents from this cause is maintained from year to year. Another fact waich points to the desirability of a change in the construction of the English railway car- riage is that of the other deaths a consider- able number are charged to the flying open of the doors of carriages in motion from insecure fastenings. Asan interme- diate measure the English Board of Trade, in combination with the railway com- anies, is now investigating a new device, gy means of which all the doors in a train can be simultaneously locked and un- locked ; but there is a growing feeling that the radical remedy is only to be found in a change in the form of the car. that some ill-advised and excited man might attempt to do harm to the church property. 1saw the Chief of Police, who promised to protect the church, and prevent that might occur. When I returned I found that a second attempt had been made to put the flags ard shiclds upon the frontof the church. About 8:: , hali an hour after body a dozen men, with their ds and flags, and pro- vided with and & loug ladder, marched up and announced that they intended to put the flags and shields ali over the front of the building. Several of our parishioners were on hand and told the men that 1 had gone to the police sta- tion and would soon return with the police to protect the premises. The men talked and threatened what they would do, but they went away without doing anything, evidently fear- ing thet I had gone to the California-streat po- lice station and might be back with the police atany minute. I requested the Chief of Police to have a man on duty here all of to-day, to- night and to-morrow and he promised to do so. 1 have more fear of trouble siter dark, during the midnight, than at auy other time. During the day Officer Anderson stood guard 1n front of the church, and the pres- ence of the officer prevented another at- tempt from being made if any was con- templated. ‘THE BELIEF W EQUALIY An Address by Professor S. E. Mezes at Stanford Uni- versity. Most Blunders Ariss From Mistaken Attempts to Rise Beyond One’s Parents. Professor 8. E..Mezes of the Leland Stan- ford University recently delivered an ad- dress to the students in attenddnce at the Palo Alio institution. His words are marked by an eminently practical sense of the shortcomings of many young men who desire to rise. The professor said: Very characteristic of the United States is every one’s belief that he is the equal of all others. This is not merely a belief in equality betore the law or a belief in the right to equal opportunity, but a belief of each that he is the equal of every one in worth and capacity. This belief was never founded on fact, but in the early years of the country it was unquestion- ably snllltnli‘. By filling men with self-confi- dence and hope it spurred them on to their best efforts and made them capable ot a high order of achievement. Butas the country be- comes more completely specialized industrially and politically many of the higher occupations come to r%qllire not only special and careful training, but also, as a basis for this, special native aptitude, which but few postess. As needs diversify only peculiar gifts are adapted 1o satisfy them. Under such conditions, which are those of the present, a belief in equality becomes bane- ful.” Tell a man that he can do whatever any one else has done and the majority will seek to enter the occupations that offer the highest rewards. But these occupations'call for ex- traordinary ability, and of all those who enter them only a very few are endowed with these abilities in sufficient measure to succeed. The result is a long, expensive and laborious train- ing thrown nwu{. failure in the cherished and encouraged ambitions of many lives, and con- sequent seli-censure and discontent with the world. Too many Americans are lured by a talse estimate of their ability into (‘n!er{ng politics, the professions and speculative busi- ness to find that they have failed when it is oo late to train themselves for anything eise. In an ideal community each man, ater bein; carefully trained for it, enters that useful cail- ing for which he is_best fitted by natural en- dowments. Thus the greatest possible sum any trouble | total of well being is achieved. Any social force which tends to vent a good adjust- ment of capacity to calling is harmful and should be combated. Belief in equality is 8 strong social force, but unfortunately one that interferes with the establishment of such good adjustment. It makes bad jewelers out of good blacksmiths, bad surgeons out of good butchers. 3 But not only is the community injured by being inflicted with bad work at the hands of men who might render excellent service to it in other callings. These individuals them- selves are also injured. Their bad work can- not bring them in satisfying remuneration; and, more important still, the mere sense that they are not fitted for their work, and that it is badly done, is a constant dull distress. There is no happiness greater than that of the skill- ful workman at his interesting task; nothing more dispiriting and humiliating than the consciousness ol & lifetime of ill-done work. In order to correct this insidiously evil mal- adjustment and avoid its consequences, in place of equality, individuaiity must be taken as our National watehword. Do not encourage men to mimie the most successful in attempt- ing to perform work for which they themselves have no capacity. This is to teach them con- tempt for the capacities which they have. Rather teach them to respect their own capa- cities, to train them and employ them in th calling in which they will be most effe Believed equality lures men into callings whose results are most attractive, whether | actually obtainable by themselves or not. | Sturdy inaividuality gssures a man that what | he can do best 1s worthy and best to be done. A word now on the choice of calling. Most blunders here come, I believe, from mistaken attempts to rise above one's parents. For on reflection it certainly seems strange that the generation which knows most definitely of the strong resemblance in aptitudes of children to perents should be most strenuous in dissuad- Ing the former from following in the latter's footsteps. 1 venture the suggestion that this ould be reversed, and that,in default of strong evidence to the contrary, a boy should presumed best fitted to follow the calling of those among his successful ancestors whom he most resembles But no civilized community is willing to heve its work done by men of untrained capac- ity. Careful training of all kinds is necessary ir'it is to compete successfnlly with rival con munities. Our vpublic schools, however, give no variety of training. By training for no other lifework, they foster the ambition, mis- taken though it be’in the majority of cases, to enter the professions and other so-called higher walks of life. As a Nation, we believe that all men are equel, and demand that in matters of schooling they shall be treated alike. The fact is that our present industrial sys- tem, with all its rich inventiveness, has devised no substitute at all_adequate for the training afforded by apprenticeship. Before tools gave place to machinery as the chief agent of produc- tion young men leerned their trade under the personal supervision of some past master in the craft. To-day the corresponding occupations are almost a8 truly erails, require almost as much skill and cunning. But owing to the greater complexity of modern industry with the consequent nigh degree of specialization, and owing to the large numberof employes under any one master it is no longer possible to combine in one man the functions of em- ployer and teacher. The class of teachers has pecome differentinted from the class of em- ployers. Much has been lost from this separa- tion. For under the old system & voung man did not merely acquire dexterity, but also be- came learned in the traditions of his craft. He nformed with an ideal of excellence. Did up to 1t, then he wasrespectea and hon- those skilled to judge; did he fall below he earned the disrespect of his fellow- The epprentice system kept alive an de corps which seems now 1o have pe ished from off the earth, except in the arm with its uniform and flag. And without such esprit de corps, and the pride of occupation, | which is 1ts correlation, it is safe 1o say that | genuinely good work cannot be expected. It | is much {o be regretted that labor organiza- | tions so little realize its fmportanc But turning again to the more stri 1y ednea- tional problem, it is evident there is much n ved of special training-schools. Our gram- | uar and high schools, largely through the fault of university faculties as must be admit- tea, are little more than college preparatory schools. Our high schools, as Professor Howi- son very couvincingly maintained in a recent | address, are of one type. They should be of | ANy tYpes, 4s many ‘8s there are groups or | li«d occupations. It is not advisable, ensons indicated, that many shonld have a university education, properly so-called Mostanust follow distiuetly practical occupa | tions, and the bulk of their school time should THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, It Was Hard Guessing for the Talent on the Opening Day. A SOLITARY FAVORITE FIRST. All Other Events on the Card Over- shadowed by the Fine Run of Claudius. Thomas H. Williams Jr. and C. E. Trevathan presided in the judges’ stana. Charles Boots, the San Jose horseman, states that he has no intention of disposing of Elm- wood stock farm’s great sire, imp. Brutus. A very tempting price could be obtained for him, ‘but horses of his like are scarce, and as large prices can be obtained for his get he will re- main where he is. «“Curly” Shields received a telegram from Galen Brown stating that Libertine and his stable companions would remain at Sacra- mento a week longer before coming to the Bay District. The California Jockey Club was favored with delightful weather for the opening day of its fall meeting, but that the down- | town poolrooms are making inroadsor: the attendance was undeniably apparent, judg- ing by the Jight crowd that passed through the turnstiles. From an eminence over- looking the track a signal tower has been erected to telegraph the first three horses past the winning post to the rocms, and this is the way the law is evaded and com- missions placed on horses at the track. The sooner these parasitical encroach- ments on the turf are crushed out, the st of crime lesser will be San Krancisco’s and the cleaner the “sport of become. While the entries for the different events were light the racing was above the aver- age, the finishes as a rnle being close and exciting. It could hardly be called a favorites’ day, for but one first choice crossed the tape in front. Seven bocks in the big ring, two com- bination books and a field book handled speculators’ coin, and the majority enjoyed a prosperous day—to the talent’s sorrow. The main feature of the day’s sport was the fine axhibition of speed shown by Claudius in the mile-and-a-furlong handi- cap. Joe Harvey speedy Gano filly, Wheel of Fortune, bad first call in the betting with 9 to 10 about her at post time, but after she -had gone to the front as usual and kicked dust in the faces of her field for a mile Claudius, on which Donabue had been riding a very patient rsce, coming from last position, challenged her and ihe weight he was in receipt of from the filly enabled Lim to beat her out a scant length, driving, in the very fast time of 1:53Y4, within quarter of a second of In- stallator’s coast record, recently made at Sacramento. The winner went to the post tol. The opening race for maidens, six fur- longs, was but a galloo for the 1 to 4 favor- ite, Duchess of Towers, who laid away sec- ond to the 5 to 1 outsider Jefferson until | | the bend for home was reached, when she began drawing away and won hands down in 4. BobTucker took the place given to a thorough training therefor. 18l training-schools shouid be established y, and should be supported | d by the State with great | care. E and their curricula are certainl; great deal of improvement. Technicalschools, mechanical, sgricuitural, viticultural, en. gineering in its many departments are ind jensable factors of any effective communit These might well vary from community io commuity, depending on the industries for which ench’is best fitted. The enviably well- governed British municipalities huve recog- nized this, and there are to be found many excellent training-schools for the industries in [ which they severally excel. Califoruin has rea- | sonably well-fitted agricultural and engineer- ing schools, though too few avail themselves of these udvantages, owing doubtless to the unpopularity of (he careers to which they Jead und to the wellnigh irresistible attrac- tions of city life. A great need, however, in view of our unsurpassed seaports, is for a school where shipbuilding and navigation in | all its branches might be learned. Every mod- | ern community should also be provided with genuine business schools when many things should be taught besides bookkeeping and the flourishes of Spencerian penmanship. In fact there should be a school providing training for each group of closely allied occu- pations. Unless such are established we must needs be worsted by our better trained com- petitors. Such sehools need not, indeed should should be much extendea, | capable of & | | | | partial | support or supervision, will be called upon to coiue to the rescue of the private en- terprise that has so far quite signally failed. One other suggestion: These schools must be places for downright hard work, and plenty of it. They are not only to turm out skilled in- dustrial mechanics, but they are also to train their scholars to a firmly founded habit of great energy and alertness, for in practical life these are quite as indispensible as steam is to an engine. Universities and their preparatory’ on the other hand, which supply special investigators and men of cui- ture, who 3 their breadth of view and calm- ness of judgment preserve the community’s balance and sanity—these must give a more leisurely training, which will ailow students | orpormnlly for calm investigation and a habit of caution that takesin a broad scope of con- sideration. A practical worker's decision had best be quick, even though it be wrong. But the small minority must decide right as nearly as possible, even though it take much time. Obviously the training necessary for cultivat- ing these widely different habits of mind must needs be very different and cannot con- veniently be given in pne and the same insti- tution. 0ols for liberal and scholarly train- ing, whatever their names, must be separate from schools for practical training. Now, however, let me say in conclusion that practical schools cannot neglect theliberal fac- tor in education. Anindividual is not merely called upon for eflicient self-support; he isalso acitizen and must activety support the goy- ernment and assist in improving it. A modern self-governed community is vastly intricate and the opportunity for blunders isgreat. One of the great difficulties with our present societies is that the working classes are suffi- ciently intelligent to recognize abuses, but so ill-informed as tosupport entirelyimpracticable remedies. Education cannot do everything, but it can and should do much. And all high schools, those for technical training as well as others, must giveat least somuch liberal train- ing as will persulide their graduates of the difficulties of political and economic_ subjects and of their own ignorance. High school pupils should be taught the structure of some of the meny systems of government and indus- try, i. e., the rudiments of politics, economies and finance. This is not so difticult as at first appears, and in this country, where the politi- cal and commercial sense is highly developed, would be easier than elsewhere. But above all history is indispensable, for nothing is more melancholy in democracies than the short- ness of ‘memory. Over and over again the same disastrous remedy must tried anew, when even a slightly diffused knowledFe of its previous failures wonld pre- vent such costly experiments. On the other hand pure as distinguished from applied science, the aris, classical as well as other literature, and philosophy, might both be dis- pensed with in practical schools. In a word any liberal subject that does not bear directly and indispensnbly on political and industrial roblems is less essential. All that has such nrlns is too vital to National health to be omitted even in technical schools. With such school system the minority of young men will pass through the high school of the present type and through coflege, while the majority will attend technical schools for Emctlul training. The former will act as the alance-wheel of society. They will see that it is_kept sane and sound, and fill it, in Matthew Arnold’s phrase, with sweetness and right. The latter, each stationed at the por- tion of the machine he is skilled to tend, will see that it moves with the utmost emeiencfi and power. The different individuals wil have different employments and must needs reap unequal rewards. But they will display, we hope, the onl{ equality worth having, the equality of excellence of work. ———————— More New Typewriters.

Tim Murphv was strongly supported at 4to5and9to 10 to win the next race, a five and.a half furlong dash, but Sir Richard, with Flynn up, got a couple of lengths the best of the flag, and after lead- inz all the way, won in a hard drive from Rosebud, a full sister to the good race mare Mary Stone, who_was quoted at 20 to 1 in the ring. Tim Murphy stumbled after making the first turn and finished a poor third. Theshort six-furlong handicapresnited in another disastrous rout for the talent. Grat- ify was backed from 6 to b to4 to 5,as though the race had already been run, and this is where the chanter of trouble begins. When the flag fell, Belle Boyd, the 4 to 1 second choice, got a flying start on the field, and although Hinrichs, on the favorite, imme- diately gave chase, and at one time in the stretch had her headed, Sloane on the mare had a little in reserve up his sleeve, and in the bardest drive of the day Gratify succumbed by a shory head in 1:13, an ex- cellent run. ~Instigator was only a fair | third.

THe STORAGE BATTERY BTILL ADVANC- 186.—R. Macrae has drawn attention to the many existing indications of unprece- dented activity in the storage of battery industry. The rate at which these cells are taking the place of primary batteries for the operation of telegraph, telephone, police, fire, burglar alarm and similar sys- tems, not to mention their application to central station-lighting and power plants, encourages the belief that the dark days of thestorage battery are over amd that its supreme value will soon be generally recognized. To show how widely opinions differ on this subject an electrical journal said recently: “The man who claims that the storage battery will ever be used for traction purposes is either a knave or a fool.”” As a matter of fact, the number of successful storage battery car lines is con- stantly increasing, and the next traction installation in Philadelphia is to be on stem. There is also good ground for believing that an accumulator has been invented of such efliciency and extreme lightness as will make it equal to the de- mands oi the severest street tractional conditions. After seeing this invention one of the first electrical authorities in the country expressed his belief that the stor- age battery commercially available for traction purposes had at last been found. Mr. Macrae shows that the prejudice here- tofore held by the public regarding storag batteries was due not so much to defects in the batteries themselves as to mistakes in the manner of applying them. In addi- tion to the decided improvements that have been recently made botn in the con- struction of lead batteries and the process of manufacturing them, it is recognized that fully as much depends on knowing how to make use of these batteries as on having a good type to begin with. The selection of the ~battery must be carefully adapted to the character of the work in- tended for it, and the installation must be made with the greatest skill and intelli- gence. Once properly instalied, the battery should inevitably give satisfaction, as the directions for taking care of it are so sim- ple and so little attention is necessary that it is almost impossible to fail in getting good results. Now. that the storage battery is coming into favor, it is somewhat amusing to recall the viru- lence of the prejudice that has until very recently existed against it. Three years ago a manufacturing company designed a type of cell especially for telegraph work. After testing it in the factory a man took a sample cell to a telegraph office to solicit an opportunity of making a test on the circuits. A superintendent of railroad tel- egraph, the first person called upon, was asked if he would take a look at the bat- tery, but before the wrapping paper could be removed from the same he had van- ished into his private office. A local Western Union manager was next seen. He promptly and finally dismissed the subject with the remark: “Life is too short to fool with storage vatteries.” A NEw Erectric P Those who have a faney for seeing a telegram in the actual handwriting of the distant sender can be gratitied by having recourse to the teianto- graph. This instrument reproduces the message exactly as it is written, by means of a stylus electrically connected with the sending instrument. An électric pen, working on an entirely different principle, and intended for authograpic duplication has been exhibited in London. The pen consists of a holder bearing copper wires which are connected at the end by a small loop of steel wire. An eiectric current, which is passed through the pen from a small dry cell, warms the steel loop to a temperature somewhat above the fusing point of wax. The pen being then applied 10 a thin sheet of porous Japanese paver covered with wax, melts the wax as it traverses the surface, and the sheet1s thus made into a stencil open for the trans- mission of ink. The stencil sheet is fixed in a frame, and from it copies of the original writing may be taken to practically an unlimited extent with an inking rolier in the usual w: Lines of any thickness may be made without impairing the re- producing power of the stencil. The invention is not, like so many having a similar purpose in view, confined to letter- copying, but may be used for illustrations of all kinds. The whole apparatus is con- tained in a small, compact box.
