Reaser has a philanthropic scheme for smoothing the path for voung artists, and he intends to put his ideas into execution at the beginning of the new year. A long residence in Paris and other art more easel pictures are painted than can possibly be sold and tnat, on the other band, a good deal more applied art could | be consumed than is now produced. That young students may have their attention turned to such branches of art as | wall decoration, tapestry, stained-glass, modeling, ete., he intends to throw his | studio open to them once a week and give | them a talk on current art topics, in order to familiarize them with the best modern painters and decorative artists, whose work they do not sce here, and a record of whose deeds has not yet reached the circu- lating librarie At these afternoons it is intended to get men and women from the working classes as models, who will be induced to pose with the utensils and tools which they use in their d work. The idea is to give the students an opporiunity of studying the composition and massing of still life in genre painting, as well as the move- ment of figures at work. A well-known local decorator and an architect intends to heip Mr. Reaser in giving the weekly which are intended to guide the students’ thoughts into the practical and the applied in art. They wih receive no remuneration for their services, as the scheme is a philanthropic one, but they will bave the satisfaction of helping stu- | dents to put their art to practical uses. | Speaking yesterday of his proposed class, | Mr. Reaser sai “It always strikes me | extraordinary that people think artists | 4 | must devote their entire time to painting | S el pictu We do not want to drag | the commercial into art, but there are nu- | merous other legitimate branches of art | which have more practical value than the | multiplication of painted canvases which probably will not sell. Some of the great- | est masters havelpainted frescoes; tapestry | is worthy of any artist’s attention; so is stained-glass work. In Paris we had such a class as I propose to open here, and the students took very kindly to the practical | side of art.” Sl el JUSTICE TO MRS. CURRIE. Her Trouble in Regard to a Thousand- | Dollar Transaction With James McLean. Some time ago Mrs. 8. E. Currie caused McLean was held at the preliminary examination, but at the time the charge was dismissed in Judge Wallace’s court, A. P. Black, the Assistant District Attorney, announced that though it was apparent MecLean® had imposed upon Mrs. Currie and had ob- tained the $1000 in question from her by misre presentation, yet it would be un- likely that a jury would convict, owing to t that in receipt for §5, carefully {Ire ed by McLean, which Mrs. Currie had signed, the words ‘‘on account of loan” appeared. This, Mr. Black ex- plained, might in a strictly legal sense change the character of the transaction from that of srincipnl and agent to that of creditor and debtor, while he believed Mrs. Currie had been 1nduced to sign the receipt without appreciating the technical effect of the quoted words, 1. e., “‘on ac- count of loan.’ It seems that before the dismissal of the case was had Mrs. Currie effected a settle- went with McLean. This was done by the consent of Mr. Black, who informed her that she was at liberty to effect a settle- ment of the civil claim as long as she did not therebysconipromise the criminal charge. The settiement was for $500—$100 | cash and & $40 installment promissory note. The latter McLean has since re- pudiated, and it is probable that Mrs. Cur- rie will shortly take some action looking to the recovery of the money. At the time the charge was dismissed an article appeared in Tar CALL which ap- parently did Mrs. Currie an injustice. Hence Tur CALL makes this statement of facts in justice to Mrs. Currie. . e——— Belting the Police, The Manufacturers and Producers’ Associe- tion has addressed another letter to the Board of Police Commissioners upon the subject of equipping the police force with articles of Calitornia produetion. Several months ago a communization upon the matter of police uni- forms induced the Commissioners to adopt Califarnis-made cloth for the patrolmen’s uni- forms. The present letter deals with the leather belts that willbe worn by the new ap- pointees 1o the force. Charged With Manslaughter. William Jeukins, the gripman of the car that ran over and fatally injured Mrs. Me- Allister at Mason and Jackson streets Wednes- Aay night, surrendered himself at the City Prison yesterday and was booked on the of mansiaughter. He was released on his own recognizance by Judge Low. | tion. MEMBERS ARE OUTWITTED An Academy of Sciences Petition That Is Useless for a Year. WHAT C. F. CROCKER WANTED. Pathetic Story of a Generous Old Scientific Collector Who Died of Starvation. Those members of the Academy of Sciences who take a constant and sincere interest in the welfare of the institution are presently immersed in gloom over the fact that they were outwitted recently by the little junta in power, and their most praiseworthy endeavors could effect no change for another year at least. Though defeated for the time being they are, however, in their own guiet way mak- ing things intensely disagreeable for the controlling element. ‘What gave rise to tne disruption was the crushing defeat suffered by the mem- bers at that meeting when Senator Perkins, in an altogether good-natured mood, made an observation that induced an acrimonious conflict with Theodore H. Hittell. Ever since, while as a matter of course it won't be admitted by individual members that personality has become involved, it is quite plain that the feeling is not distinctively confined to vrinciples or party lines. Itisdirectand to the point betwe en the men of science, and for this very reason members admit a revolution in the academy’s management must come soon. The constitution of the academy pro- vides that officers shall be nominated by a committee composed almost exclusively of the men in office. In other words, the con- stitution enables the council to perpetuate itself, and indeed such has been the case for fully five yeéars norwithstanding the fact that men of recognized ability were willing and anxious to serve as officers in the interest of science quite as much as satisfying the bent of personal ambitions. Such men as Professor Dayidson, Bran- dagee, the well-known botanist who found and explored a new region in Lower Cali- fornia, and’ university professors of high standing have been unable to secure nomi- nations, This condition of engendered a spirit of academy members, until at last they met and formulated amendments to the constitution. Of all the pro- posed changes none was regarded with 80 much concern as the one which aimed to abolish the 'old, and, as mem- bers seemed to think, obnoxious rule on _mnominations. The new order would have it that nominations should be made by the members at large, and it ap- peared on its face so popular a measure that opposition was not feared. Such was not the case, however, for at the meeting held to consider proposed amendments, Mr. Hittell moved that the whole matter of amendments be laid upon affairs gradually unrest among | the tatle. “There used to be a time—when you and I were in the Legislature together—when I considered you were an honest man,” Senator Perkins remarked pleasantly. Mr. Hittell grew angry instantly and jumped to his feet with the question: *Does the Senator wish to impugn my mo- tives?” The Senator passed it off jocularly, but the motion was adopted. onel C. F. Crocker, Senator George C. Perkins and E. J. Molera voted against the motion. Since that eveniful meeting indig- nation grew to such a pitch that several members met and _drafted a petition. This was circulated exten- sively, and as it asked for a reconsideration of the vote tabling the proposed amend- ments, it was quite freely signed. The greatest secrecy has been maintained re- garding the petition which was submitted to the trustees, but no copy was kepi by the members. General Lucius H. Foote, secretary of the trustees, declined to discuss the peti- tion yesterday, explaining he could not do 50 without permission of the board. Colone! C. F. Crocker, who has returned from the East, said he had heard of the petition, but had not seen it because he was away ‘from home. 4 “There is nothing personal in this mat- ter, so far as I am concerned,” he said, “nothing where I am on one side in oppo- sition to parties on the otherside. Asa member of the board of trustees of the academy I am_in favor of these amend- ments, and I did support them all through. & s “The present system of nominating keeps the same coterie of men in power. The officers under the constitu- tion_have power to nominate the in- coming officers and that means that they perpetuate _themselves in offices; and this has been done for several years. Now lam desirous of having this System abolished and placing the selection of officers in the hands of the members. “Those proposed amendments_were op- posed by the coterie in power. But there isstillanother feature to be considered. The proposed amendments were tabled,and that ut the whole matter back for another year. nder the rules amendments to the con- stitution should be acted on two months prior to the annual election, which takes place in the first week of January each year. Then mem- bers would have "to vote on the proposed amendments. The tabling effectually put an end to action this year, and for that reason the petition to recon- s;ggr"unnot do any good until January, “Are you in favor of having the cognate scientitic societies united with the academy —that is, such bodies as the microscopical, | astronomical, geographical and others?” | *‘That cannot be done under our consti- tution,” replied Mr. Crocker, ‘‘although 1 would like to see members of all these societies join the academy as individuals. In that case branches might be established similar to the departments of botany, biology, etc., at present in the academy.” G Mr. Crocker admitted that such a union would redound to the academy’s reputa- He also said that the museum would be engaged from time to time as the collection increased and funds permitted purchasing specimens. And so the two spacious vacant floors may yet be fiilled with interesting sciengific collec- tions. There is comparatively little interest in the campaign, though an opposition ticket withg Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford University, at the head is talked of in some quarters. Pro- fessor Jordan will be nominated on the regular ticket, and the popular plac is " to have an oppositon With hisname at the head. foliowed by other acceptable men, except Dr. Harkness, who Wants to be vice-president, to hold author- ity on the board. The nominations will be made within a week. thetic story is told by a prominent mem! nd it may be used as campaign ammunition. It is that a worthy man to whom the was indebted was acade! allowed to starve iflh room and finally to die in the County Hospital from the effects of starvation. This old man was well known to ?niveflity of California men and_to all collectors of ethnological relics. He was C. D. Voy, who spent most of nis life in making collections in the South Sea Islands. x _One collection of his was for the Univer- sity of California. About four or five months b resented a val- uable muo.csl.?on :l s‘:'zuth Sea Island articles to the Academy of - ence. These interesting specimens were all stored away in the basement, though several members protested that the collection should be classified or cata- logued. The result was the Voy was engaged for three or four months to do this work. After the firsy month Presi- dent Harkness dismiss ed him sum- marily, and out of the funds old "Voy went to his lodgings disheartened. There he remained, and for three days went without food of any kind, until the landlady, Mrs. Poole, found him overcome with exhaustion. He was taken to the City and County Hospital, where he died. With his death was lost the identity of the various ethnological specimens, which still lie in the Academy basement. ‘Without their iden- tification and history they are merely so many curios, without any scientific value whatever. OUT IN THE RAIN. Nicholas Wolfe and His Wife the Victims of Their Igno- rance. Mrs. Janie Wolfe, who has been residing for the last seven years at 1516 Townsend street, complains that she has been the victim of most remarkable proceedings on the part of her landlord, John T. Fulton. In March, 1888, Nicholas and Janie Wolfe leased the premises on Townsend street from Fulton ata stated monthly rental of $6 per month. Inthe agreement, which Mrs. Wolfe possesses, Fulton agreed not to raise the rent and to allow her to hold possession as long as any other tenants remain. If at any time he wished to re- gain possession of the land, he was to give her three months’ notice. Neither Mrs. Wolfe nor her husband can read English, and they do not know whether or not they ever received any notice. November 15 they received a summons with a complaint in_ejectment attached, and last Tuesday, Mrs. Wolfe says, about ten men came and dragged her from a sick bed and threw ber into the street. They then piled the furniture upon the sidewalk. It was raining at the time, and the water caused the glue wherewith the furniture was put together to soften, and the household §oods were destroyed. Since then Mrs. Wolfe and her husband, who _is out of employment, have been cared for by neighbors. THEY ASK A COMPROMISE The Election Commissioners De- sire to Prepare for the Primaries. Ousted Officials Will Be Requested to Allow Certain Arrangements to Stand. The Election Commissioners, at a meet- ing held yesterday, decided that the only possible way to properly prepare for the | coming primary elections is to bring about | some kind of a compromise with the ousted Commissioners, whose contest for the offices is now pending in the Supreme Court, so that the work of selecting elec- tion officers and other details of the election can be arranged.” Commissioners Denman, Castle, Foster and Wellin dis- cussed the matter at length and decided that a committee should wait upon the members of the deposed commission, which consists of the Mayor, Auditor, City and County Attorney, Tax Collector and City Surveyor, and find out whether arrangements and appointments made pending the decision of the court would be allowed to stand . providing the ousted board should be returned to their offices. The committee appointed consisted of Messrs. Denman, Castle and Secretary Hinton. The call upon the ex-Commis- sioners will be made to-morrow, when their attitude in the matter will be learned. The decision in the case is expected be- fore a great while, as the answers of the incum%ents are now being filed in the Supreme Court. he act giviug the Mayor the power to appointa Board of Election Commission- ers was passed at the last session of the ILegislature and Mayor Sutro, soon aiter being placed in possession of his own office, appointed the incumbents. The de- }mseu Commissioners institutea a contest or their offices on the ground that the law under which the present holders were ap- pointed is unconstitutional. In case the compromise is effected the work of draw- ing the 9000 names from which the 1500 or more election officers are selscted will be begun at once and other necessary work taken up. HIS MARITAL TROUBLES. Thomas Ryan Sent to the County Jail on the Charge of Disturbing the Peace. Thomas Ryan was sent to the County Jail for ten days by Judge Low yesterday on the charge of disturbing the peace. The charges of indecent conduct against his wife and C. L. Candy were continued till Tuesday. Ryan’s domestic troubles have occupied the attention of Police Judges for several weeks. He had Candy arrested for alien- ating his wife’s affections and the case was dismissed. Then Candy had him arrested for perjury, and as he apologized to Candy in open court the case was dis- missed. Ryan then went to Vancouver, B.C., and sent a dispatch to Chief Crowley that his wife's mother was dying in a hotel there, and asking the Chief to get her and her boy to leave at once. It was only a ruse on Ryan’s part to get his wife away from Candy. It failea, and he came back here on Fri- day. He hunted up his wife and found her living with Candy. A row followed and the three were arrested. The boy, 4 years of age, isbeing cared for by the So- ginty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- ren. The probability is that Ryan will get himsel‘: s £ into serious trouble if he remains here after getting out of the County Jail. Some months ago he was arrested for burglary in entering the residence of Marie Garnier, dressmaker, 818§ Geary sireet, and stealing $40 from a trunk. He had introduced himself to the young lady and her sister at the Grand Opera- house as Captain Ryan, a Government diver and the owner of a vessel. He courted Marie with a view to matrimony and ended by roobing her. The money was repaid by his wife and the case against hli:mC‘S“ dismissed on his promise to leave the City.
