28 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1895. . e SR S 00 S DU L e S SIS0 ML o S O8 e SRR SR Pl TR S S I b A S e i s S s e R COLONIZING CHOLERA, Germs of the Dread Disease on the Way to This City. TO MAKE EXPERIMENTS. Dr. Rosenau of the Government Service Awaiting Their Arrival. WAS SENT FOR POST HASTE. Bacteria Imported From Germany for the Benefit of San Francisco Physicians. The germ of the dread cholera has atlast effected a landing on the shores of Amer- ica, but so shackled that there is little chance that it will spread abroad to the millions who have thus far been success- fully protected. ‘While the devastating disease was rag- ing in China, Japan and the nearer terri- tory of Hawaii, great alarm was felt in Washington for the safety of San Fran- cisco, and through it of course the entire country. The medical authorities at the National capital did everything in their power to aid the local guardians of the public health and the ports of the Orient and Sandwich Izlands were declared in- fected and vessels from them were sub- jected to a rigid quarantine. Not satisfied with these precautions the department determined to send one of its most advanced experts to see personally that all possible precautions were taken. Dr. Milton Rosenau of the United Statee Marine Hospital service was at that time on duty at Eagle Pass, Texas, guard- ing and ministering to a large party of Buropean immigrants among whom small- pox had broken out in its most virulent form a short time before. A telegram telling him to hurry at once to San Francisco was sent and within a few days he was here and ready to combat the disease should it make a landing through infection from the Orient. As it happened the precautions taken were suf- ficient to avert the evil. The service, however, determined to look | ahead to future epidemics abroad which might spread to America, and also to take such precautions as would be calculated to prevent widespread contagion. Dr. Rosenau was ordered to remain here until germs of cholera, yellow fever and | smallpox could be forwarded to him,and to then conduct such experiments and operations as would be necessary. The medical aunthorities at Berlin, Ger- many, where the germs of all of the ter- rible diseases known to medical science are kept for experimental purposes, were requested to furnish the necessary | bacte:ia, while the pk cian was directed | to prepare the nec ry instruments to | carry on his investigations. Since then | he has been located at the quarantine | station on Angel Island, where an excel- lent laboratory is kept, awaiting the ar- rival of the bacteria and getting his in- cubators ready. The method of develcping the germs of contagious diseases is peculiar, though not differing materially from the mode of pro- cedure in hatching eggs by artificial means. Placed in the incubator and sub- jected to the necessary degree of heat the germs increase and multiply to an aston- ishing degree, and within eighteen hours in the case of cholera a colony of live, malig- nant germs, ready for business if allowed to escape to the persons of those about, is developed. These, when examined under the micro- scope, show distinctive features that are easily recognized by the scientihc eye, and once a physician has given them a thor- ough inspection through a powerful glass be can never be mistaken should they again come under his observation. 1t is as much for the purpose of assist- ing the medical profession of this City as any other that the bacteria are being im- ported, and when, under Dr. Rosenau’s skillful ~upervision, the germs are propa- gated, physicians and those connected with the gquarantine department of this City will be invited to inspect the danger- ous germs and gain such information as can be given by the Government medico. In case of future epidemics the facts he will promulgate will be invaluable, for the diseases which, after gaining a foothold, sometimes claim thousands of victims, are often mistaken for minor ailments, and their true character is not discovered until too late to stay their march. Experi- ments to determine the best methods of combating the disease will also be con- ducted. The utmost care has been taken to trans- mit the germs, which are expected to ar- rive within a day or two, in such a manner as to insure against infection to the mail matter with which it travels, They willar- rive in airtight packages inclosed in a hermetically sealed casket, and the great- est care will be taken to prevent the germs from scattering when the case is opened. Probably within twenty-four hours after their arrival the germs will be colonized and ready for the inspection of those who are entitled to viéw them. Dr. Rosenzau, the hospital service physi- cian, is cousidered one of the brightest men in the Government medical service and has made contagious diseases a life- time study. Since his arrival here he has been entertained and consulted by the leadiny bacteriologists of the City. He recently delivered an address on “Im- munity and Immunization” before the San Francisco Microscopical Society, whose guest he was. THE MARE CAME BACK, Pound Officials Failed to Carry Out a Horse- Killing Contract, A Fertilizing Company Traded the Animal for an Older and Larger Beast. Henry Stacy of Ocean View threatens to sue the Pound officials for cruelty to ani- mals, his reasons for these threats being based upon an incident regarding what he terms the cruel treatment of a thorough- bred mare, an animal which had been the pet of the Stacy family for many years. The animal, after years of usefulness to her owner, finally developed a skin disease which was passed upon as being incurable, and Mr. Stacy determined to have the horse killed by the Pound officials. “We turned the mare over to the offi- cials September 21,” said Mrs. Stacy yester- day, “and were assured by Poundmaster Osborn that the animal would not be sold, as many horses turned over to the Pound were, but that she would be immediately killed. We thought nothing more of the occurrence, thinking that Mr. Osborn had kept his word, but a few days after this, on the morning of SBeptember 25, the ani- mal returned, covered with fcam sund ~ bruises and bedecked with a Pound saddle, showing that, instead of being put yut of her suffering, she had been ridden in a cruel and shameful manner. “The Pound officials were informed and after expressing a mild_surprise immedi- ately demanded the saddle. We refused to give up the saddle nnless a receipt was signed, stating that the saddle came into our possession by a mare returning, said mare being turned over to the City Pound on Sentember 21 for the purpose of being destroyed. “The officials refused to sign the receipt, and consequently I shall keep the sadgle either till the receifit is signed or till we have determined whether we will instizate a suit against the officials for cruelty to animals.” “Mr. Stacy came to me,” said Pound- master Usborn last evening, ““and told me that he had a pet mare which had devel- cg:ed an incurable disease. He asked me if I would have it killed for him, as he could not nerve himself up to the task of killing her himself. “I tola him that I would send a man for his animal, and deliver it over to the Na- tional Fertilizer Company to be killed. The mare was taken to the Pound, put on our books and eventually turned over to the fertilizer company, for which we took a receipt. “The next Gay tbe animal was again brought into the Pound by some outside party, and again we turned her over to the fertilizer company and took a second re- ceipt. “On _the morning of September 25, as stated by Mrs. Stacy, the animal returned to its home with a'saddle used by one of the Pound deputies, the saddle being the personal property of the deputy. =“Next morning Mr. Stacycalled, and was loud in his denunciations, remarking that he thought he could rely upon my word that the animal would be destroyed. I immediately investigated the matter, and found that an emplove of the fertilizer company had exchanged the horse for another belonging to a man named Logan. “Upon further investigation I also found that the deputy owning the saddle had | loaned it to Mr. Logan during the illness | of the debuty. 1 then sent an order to Mr. Stacy for the saddle, which he declined to deliver unless the deputy signed a re- ceipt for the same. “I requested Mr. Stacy to again turn the animal over to me ana I would destroy it before I delivered it to the fertilizer com- any, but he declined to do as I asked im. I then offered to help him in any way that laid in my power to bring the man who had been guilty of misusing his | animal to justice. | *Up to date I have received no word from the fertilizer company as to what they intend to do in the matter, but I pro- pose to_take the case before the Board of upervisors to exonerate myself and to remove any cloud which may hang over the animal’s home.” AGLUTTED COAL. MARKET, Over Eighty Thousand Tons Have Arrived During the Past Week. Merchants Say That Prices Will Not Be Any Lower in Conse- quenee. | | The coal market is glutted and the mer- chants are wondering what they will do with their heavy stocks during the next fortnight. The chances are that some of them will not be able to handle all the car- their order, and in that event they will have to pay demurrage to the owners of the vessels. During the week ending at 11:45 o’clock | last night over thirty steamers, ships and barks entered at this port coal laden. | These represent consignments of nearly | 85,000 tons of the black diamonds, and as | nearly all the vessels are chartered to load wheat the masters are anxious to get out | and sway again. | The great bulk of the coal came from | Swansea, that port being represented by | ten ships whos: cargoes aggregate 30,000 | tons. The next port on the listis New- | castle, N. 8. W., and then comes Nanaimo, | Departure Bay, Glasgow and Cardiff. Be- | sides there are now at least a dozen other | coal-laden vessels due from Europe and Australia which will arrive during next week. The article from Puget Sound will continue pouring in, and coal merchants have a lively time ahead of them. The average consumption of coal in San Francisco is 30,000 tons a week and a great deal of this comes from the Sound mines. The Swansea coal is used principally for steaming and gas purposes, and the New- castle coal almost altogether on steamers and by biacksmiths, It will thus be seen, with 80,000 tons in port and 50,000 tons more due to arrive at any time,what awaits the owners. The great tronble in the matter will be the finding of docks for the big fleet. Al- most all the berths are taken up and severa! of the ships will have to await thair turn. The ships consigned to John Rosen- feld’s Sons, the Oregon Improvement Com- pany and J. D. Spreckels Bros. Company will fare all right. The two former have their bunkers, into which they can unload a ship of 3000 tons in a few days. The Spreckels ships will go principally to the sugar refinery and the gas works and a few of the others will sell loads to the Southern Pacific Company. Among the rest of the dealers 1t will be & scramble for dockage facilities. J. C. Wilson does not think that any of the owners of cargoes will have to pay demurrage, while enri Rosenfeld is not so sure aboutit. Anyhow they are both certain that the price of coal will not be lower this winter, and that is what princi- ally interests the householders. Accord- ing to them there is a glut just now, but the whole fleet will soon be in and then the overstock will soon be reduced. —_————— 'WEAR ordinary underwear,keep your cold ;wear Jaros hygienic underwear and lose it; bealth and mojiey saver.

Though Most of them Are Poor They Lead a Merry Life. The return of the artists and students from Holland, Italy and the French prov- inces and the arrival of the newcomers has been later than usual this year. For the past week, however, the punchbowl has been flowing freely in the gardens of the American Art Association. The new arrivals are welcomed and introduced to their brethren of the brush in this manner. Along with the punch come petits galeaux (little cakes). These refreshments are served at 9 o’clock in the morning. That is about the only time when you can call all of the crowd together. Numerous academies contend for the students’ patronage. Among those best known are Julien’s, the Beaux Arts and Collarossi’s. When he lands at Gare St. Lazare he asks, “Where is Julien’s?” in the best French he can muster. Everybody knows and can direct him immediately to this Mecca of his hopes. At this studio his work is criticized by such artists as Bou- guereau (whose best works, by the way, are in America), Constant, Ferrier, Fleury, Laurens and Puech. The latter is the only professor of sculpture at Julien's. Here they draw in the academic way and follow the strong men, the weak ones seeking inspiration in the study of the works of the strong—not a bad idea in theory, but retrogressive in practice when one attempts to substitute a momentary inspiration for genuine originality. The studio (of course there are others with the shingle swinging over them and bearing the name of Julien) is on the Rue Dragon, not far from the Boulevard St. Germain, the old aristocratic quarter of the city. The street is a narrow one, and has classified as old. There is nothing artistic or picturesque aboutthe entrance—the court is barren save a few broken remnants of old casts. The many ateliers within have the traditional dirt and dust of years. Everything is strewn with paint—floor, walls, ceilings, chairs, easels and students. Even the models come in for their share. Many a one there posing has received a lasting trademark in the form of a daub of emer- ald green and chrome yellow and Prussian blue upon his or her loins and thighs. The turpentine bottles must be kept in as handy a place as the paints. On the walls hang the life drawings, each of which has taken a prize. Around on shelves are rows of casts, statuettes and canvaszes. Here and there are good carica- tures of some of the students. The stove is old and rusty. They may havea general “clarin’ up time’’ here once in a decade, but I doubt it. It is a pleasant life the student leads. He has a score and more of companions. All are merry, most of them are poor. Each man has his favorite kind of tobacco and his pipe, and the academies are drawn and esquisses painted and dreams dreamed in the midst of clouds of smoke and a din of puns and jests and all the choice bits of slang of all nationalities, and a roar of langhter and song which is supposed to be possible only in the regions below. And each gives vent to his spirits by suddenl leaving his quiet task to mount the modefI throne to sing his comrades a jovial song, or to gambol with the models, or for a grand wild frolic with both men and models, as if a row were the only thing essential to his success and happiness. The presence of the professors is the only thing which brings absolute quiet. It is said, however, that it is the Frenchman who makes the most noise, and when he is away on his vacation the others enjoy greater peace. [ In studio routine Monday morning brings the liveliest time. To begin with, the model must be chosen for the week. | Next comes the question of how each shall be posed, which is even more difficult of amiable adjustment. Sometimes the fight goes on the whole morning before the question is settled. A pose lasts three- quarters of an hour and is followed by a rest of fifteen minutes. After the' second pose a sortie is made upon the restaurant near by, the Cafe de Dragon d'Or. The students march down the street in file, two by two. Their wardrobe is lim- ited. Coats and hats are leit behind. Some few have jumpers on their hair. Their shirtsleeves are rolled up. All have a daub of paint upon some portion of their anatomy. And all are yelling at the top of their voices. The old residents of the Rue Dragon have long since ceased to won- der at the composite capacity of the stu- dents’ lungs. - The cafe is small, but well fitted up. The patron (owner) comes forward, smil- ing. .“Bon jour, messieurs.” A chorus of “‘Bon jour, monsieur,” fol- lows his greeting and " the gayety rolls on. Chairs are piled on lBEles, tables are turned upside down and studio songs are sung. Some take coffee, others beer and still others wine. Then they march back as they came—two by two—with their mirth still unabated. On Saturday mornings come the criti- cisms by the various professors and the heart of the pupil is either gladdened or saddened by the inflection and intonation of the master’s ““Ce n’est pas mal.” The vocabulary of the masters is limited, so far as criticisms are concerned. Bouguereau bas one other pet phrase, ‘‘Ce n’est pas Juste” (values are not correct). When the girls make caricature sketches of him at the rue de Bien Atelier they always write below “‘Ce n’est pas mal.” The newcomer s existence 18 a trying one for the first week. He doesn’t know how many ‘“‘goats’” he has to ride. For- merly he had to treat the whole crowd to drinks. Now he puts in 5 francs ($1). The Frenchman likes nothing so much as bazing or bullying, provided he himself is not physically harmeda or inconven- ienced. The Americans generally fare best at their hands for the reason that they (the Americans) come out winners in matters of physical prowess and so command a wholesome respect from the Frenchmen. “Wild West Shows,”’ including an In- dian war dance and boxing and wrestling, are the favorite entertainments furnishe by Americans. The memory of the boys who have been lassoed in good cowboy style lingers long in the mind of the Frenchman and makes him leave the American in peace. Howbeit, he does not really like the American, but he reserves his é:cowers of wasp-like annoyances for the Germans and English, whom he cor- dially hates. The Ecole des Beaux Arts is strong in Gerome, who perhaps is the best known in America of all the modern French artists. All American travelers visit his studio and contribute i)‘rlncipnlly to the fullness of his purse. He is strong in his drawings and fine in structure, but conventional to the extreme. American students at the Beaux Arts usually go to him, Cabanel was another favorite master. To obtain admission to the Ecole you must apply to a professor for leave to me an ‘‘aspi- rant’’ member of his class—that is, youare taken on trial. The student calls on the master of his choice to show his drawings, and if they are approved he usually o%flnl leavelto numerable smells which may be" enter immediately. The instruction here is free. The poorest lads of all nationali- ties can get good teaching without spend- ing a sou. His second meeting with his professor will be in the ‘‘Antique” .at an early morning hour, when the professor walks through the great common hall in which all the ‘“‘aspirants’” work. The men rise when he enters and listen attentively to his criticisms. They never meet him on more intimate terms than this, except at the annual dinner to which each atelier invites its professor. The length of time necessary for the student to spend in the “‘Antique” de- pends wholly upon the ability he bas. It may be two weeks. 1t may be two months. Some day the master tells the student that he may leave the ‘‘Antique” for the atelier, where they draw from the living model. ¢ The teaching is both practical and theoretical. The practical part is given in the various studios (eleven in number) under the superintendence of a noted pro- fessor. The theoretical course consists of lectures on subjects useful to students— such as history, literature, archzology, esthetics, anatomy, perspective, geom- etry, physics, chemistry and the laws of building. French students must be be- tween the ages of 15 and 30, but for foreigners there is no age limit. This schoo) was founded in 1648 for the teaching of painting, sculpture, engraving, §em—cutting and architecture. Hereis the rix Atelier where French students may strive for the Prix de Rome, which gives the happy winner five years of study in Rome at the expense of the Government. Since 1750 all the prizemen have been com- pelled to leave their prize sketches or pic- tures to adorn the halls of the building. The subjects are all classical or Biblicfi. The traditional straieht noses, long eyes, round chins and shor: upper lips have been sacredly kept. Too much ciassicism cramps their hanas, their eyes and their imagination. When the men leave the school for an atelier of their own or go to Rome they begin to work in an original manner. COLLAROSST'S, But the most imerestingl atelier in all Paris is that of Collarossi. It stands on a narrow street just off the Boulevard Mont- parnasse. Passing through a narrow hallway, from which you catch glimpses of the kitchen and laundry as well as the reception-room, you find yourself in a courtyard, which proves to be your beau-ideal of a studio setting. It is decorated with remnants of statues, large and small, and bits of weather-worn frieze. Twining lovingly about the old gray walls here and there and festooning 510 steep flight of modern steps which lead up to the costume atelier are creeuping vines now donning their autumn dress. Here in the courtyard the madels gather. On Mondays, morning, noon and night, you will find them 1n large numbers. The ioung irls are called ‘‘les petites'’—the 0ys, ‘‘les petits.” Most of them are from sunny Italy. Each has some peculiarity of dress. The men are fond of red sashes —the women wear bright colored shawls and handkerchiefs npon their beads. Their skirts are always short, showing their white socks. All'sortsof cheap jewelry may be found about their necks and in their ears. The school was founded eighty years or more ago. At any rate the history of those first beginnings is lost in obscurity and forgetfulness. Meissonier here began his studies. The model throne in the atetier for sculpture is 150 years old and is still strong and good. It has been handed down from one artist to another. It had seen its palmiest days when Col- larossi, himself an Italian model, bought it twenty years ago. 1t islot so large as Julien’s—neither does it have the same reputation for strength—but it possesses one advantage, and that a great one, over the latter—it isindividual in its tendencies. The men who come to the night class here are already far advanced and have a manner of their own. So, if the weak man looks to his stronger neighbor for guidance, he does not see all of their work done in the same manner. At Julien’s and the Beaux Arts, there is always the same manner of working—each class is repre- sented by its professors—the way he works, they all work. Rates are much cheaper here than at the other schools. The rules are few and reasonable. In the night class the girls draw with the men. These girls are gen- erally strong and eccentric. They have taken prizes in the academies where they study and now they have a desire to con- test with the men. _The men don’t like the presence of the girls. They say their freedom is restricted. Put into a nutshell, this often means they can’t tell so many ribald jests or sing so many lowsongs. On the other hand, the men who don’t like to hear low jests and songs in the presence of men alone object to co-education in this instance, inasmuch as there are equally good schools for women alone. But somehow the girld are so interested in -their work that the jests might come from the lips of a man upon Mars as faras their attention is concerned. They really do not hear them at all. For some years past there has been a French woman, a madame, in the morn- ing class with the men. They have tried hard to get her out, but she has some hold upon Collarossl. This year the men are determined to oust her when her time is out, for she drives many good men away. One never knows how to take her. Yes- terday she was social; to-day she is stiff and formal. She is fond of putting a crast of bread down her neighbor’s back, but gets mad if he presumes to return the com- pliment. Not long ago she bore a special Tudge against one of the men. Soliciting fhe aid of the best caricaturist in the ate- lier she obtained a caricature of the ob- ject of her venom in three lines. This she copied. Then she stuck the copies in every corner of the studio, upon every wall, easel and chair till she forced the young man to leave. ACADEMY MONTPARNASSE. But the girls may be found at other studios than Collarossi’s. Until recently Julien’s academy for women has been the only one they could attend. Now another famous studio is coming rapidly and strongly to the front—the Academy Mont- parnasse—and this is the story of it: Several years agd a young woman posed for such artists as Merson, Raphael Colin and Amanjeau. Finally she got married, but for a time kept on posing. One day she said to those painters: ‘‘Do you know [ believe I could run an atelier for women if you would come in and criticize,”” : “Good,” said they, **we’ll come twice a week.” : So they looked about for a camping ground, and when they found it they rubbed and scrubbed it and hungout a sign. 5l‘hat “little woman’’ was Mme. Vittie. The school opened two yearsago. Strong women entered it and jealously guarded its portals. To-day it is one of the strong- est schools in Paris and daily increasing in strength. The academy is on the Boulevard Mont- parnasse, but stands a little off from this street. ‘The windows look out upon a con- vent garden, bright red-tiled roofs and a wide expanse of blue sky. The studios have been carefully é)lnrmed and they are all light and airy and pleasant to work in. There is one atelier in which the girls studv modeling under the direction of Frederick MacMonnies, the American sculptor. He thinks that some of the most promising young women of the Latin quarter are found in that academy—a | statement which is perfectly true. It is a silent workshop, conversation being usu- ally confined to the request of some stu- dent to the model. gy, At Julien’s, on the Rue de Berri, it is | otherwise. Noise is the order of the day. Here they constantly quarrel, and when | they are not quarreling there'is a regular | ““beast, bird_and fish'” racket, as they imi- | tate every known sound of every known living creature. It is here also that one | finds the lack of harmony between Ameri- | can and_English girls openly and bluntly | expressed. e | n the studios here the air is filled with | turpentine, paint, varnish, etwc., causing many American girls to lose more in health than they have ever gained in art. FLORENCE BLANCHARD. 25 Avenue Wagram, Paris. How One Must Sleep. Another iconoclast! The rampant re- former of the day has now invaded bed- rooms. The orthodox fashion in making up beds so as to gently slope toward the | feet and having a good-sized pillar or two under the head is all wrong. A prominent French doctor, M. Vilhelm Fischer, is re- sponsible for this statement. He asserts that after a long series of experiments he has proved conclusively that to sleep in a bed prepared in the old-fashioned way is simply to induce ailments of all kinds. He advocates a complete reversal of things. You must have your head on a level or lower than your feet. If pillows are used they must be under your feet instead of under the head. The result, he claims, will be amazinf, being a sure cure for in- somnia, a3 well as a preventive for the | nightmare. Dr. Fischer says further that | sleep in thbis position “will always be intel- | lectual, because more profound, the entire nervous system ameliorated ; while people inclined to lung and kidney trouble will be vastl;‘ benefited by sleeping in this posi- tion.” To prevent inconvenience by too sud- den a change the pillows should be gradu- ally reduced and finally placed under the feet.

Park Superintendent McLaren paid & visit to the water front yesterday and ine spected the trees that have been planted along East street by the Harbor Commise sioners. Out of the lot he only found one that had died. +All the rest are doing splendidly,” saia he, *“and the next time I see Commis- sioner Chadbourne I am going to compli- ment him. The trees have held their own well, and next season you will be able to almost see them grow. 2 “To make the street look uniform, how- ever, there should be a row of trees on the other side, and they should not be planted only a few blocks, but the scheme should be torun them irom the Presidio to the Potrero, and then East street would be one of the finest avenues in San Frane cisco.” S After the inspection Superiniendent Mc= Laren rev.urneg to the park, and afew | minutes Jater Commissioner Chadbourne was seen coming down the gangplank of the steamer Santa Rosa. He had just re- turned from Los Anceles. When told what Superintendeat McLaren had said about the trees he chuckled and said: “Why, I'm working on that scheme now, but the property-owners must do their share, Assessor Siebe has furnished me with all the information I require, and now I know every landlord and agent who owns proverty on East street. “To each one of them [ will address a circular letter setting forth what I want. | It will cost a dollar a front foot to plant those trees, and that means from $25 to $30 from each property-owner. If they cannot afford that they cannot afford 2§ cents. If the property-owners will pay this small amounc then we will take over the trees and guarantee to keep them aliva and in good condition. “A few days after I have sent out my circulars ] am gring to make a personal canvass of each ownerand agent,and I think I will meet with success. R. D, Chandler, the coal merchant, is enthusiase tic over the scheme, and I expect to find the majority in the same frame of mind. The only people I expect any difficulty from are owners who live in Europe, and have agents out here to manage their es« tates. But even they, [ think, will come to terms, and then next year you will see a fine row of trees on both sides of East street from the ferries to Lombard street.” A broom dipped in boiling suds three oz} four times a month will last much longer and always sweep well. A broom should always be hung up. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. T VIS SRR WEHS VI WART, S FTERE WEES WeRe QEuien. B s Hosiery. An idea of the kind of Stockings we sell every day.
