S SN THE RULES OF KISSING. San Francisco Ladies Discuss the Latest Phase of Leap-Year Trouble. Kissing — the kissing of unbetrothed young people—has always bothered the novelists, It hascaused the young offend- ers less mental worry, that is generally speaking, for sometimes, as in Alameda, it becomes a vital issue. An investiga- tion yesterday revealed that San Fran- cisco girls have not been considering the advisability of a boycott on caresses un- | approved by parental consent. The question of the advisability of limit- ing the bestowal of kisses is still an open one in the City. Some look upon a kiss as an innocuous though delightful social pleusantry. To them it is a mere symbol of friendly regard bestowed upon a person of the other sex who is not personally dis- pleasing. : At church socials Copenhagen anc other games which carried kissing forfeits with them were once much in vogue, The kiss in this instance was looked upon as a mere innocent seasoning to the fun. It was the result of fraternal confidence, and was smiled upon with approval by the elders, who even joined in the games. Others look upon a kiss as a bait of the devil. The kisser is considered one of the unregenerate, while the kissee, if not an | unwilling victim, is considered quite as | bad. Then, another class of people con- sider kissing as “bed form,” and there- The Bachelors’ Club stands pet as to the severe pains and penalties which it has de- | fore worse than wrong. i Mrs. Sarah B.

There is 2 mutual spirit of defiance extant that bodes no good to the wedding- list of 1896. rder St. Sure, being a man of the and a merciful Judge, was interviewed yesterday as to the made in yesterday’'s Carn. The Recor was perfectly unperturbed, and his indifference to the painful osculatory | famine that threatens the Alameda bach- elor was nost noticeable. The smile upon Napoleonic countenance and the nice carelessness of the lock upon his brow— heightening the resemblance to the great French warrior—told as plainly as words would have done that he was “fixed,” and that he was not going to suffer any by the heartless rule of the league. Postmaster Stoddard was visibly agi- tated. He was found at El Nido Club playing billiards, and the subject, sud- denly sprung upon him by the reporter, caused him to miss an easy carrom. Since Rev. Mr. Bovard annhounced from his pul- pit that employesof the Government visit £l Nido and play wicked whist at its oaken tables, he had not been so agitated. Mr. Stoddard said the trouble comes upon him at a bad time. This is a Presidential year, and will so absorb a_man’s energies that he won’t have much_time to think about matrimony. fellow to be cut off from social privileges of such long standing. Dr. Zeyn was appalled at the result of the bachelors’ organization. He had no idea that it would provoke such bitter re- prisal, and he is in favor of leaving the matter to arbitration. He said that war is a terrible thing, and it isin accordance with the spirit of the closing years of this nineteenth century that differences be set- tlea by humane processes and not by san- guinary and violent proceedings. F. A Young, the popular caterer, was sorry that affairs had got into such bad shape. He feared the complications would drive trade to Oakland. “If the Young ladies put us on tne list,”’ said Mr. Yonng, somewhat defiantly though not without a quiver of regret; “if the young ladies go to such unheard of lengths as to | refuse to—. Well, there are others, and the flower of the town will go grazing in new pastures. Let them beware!” P. A. Kearney of the San Francisco Mint had read in Tue CALL of the action of the Alameda young ladies. He thought the ultimatum coming so close upon the de- pression of silver and the low price of wheat was most unfortunate. The year promises great things to young men who are industrious and don’t forget the day on which the primaries are held, and if the league put off till next vear its depart- ure it would not have come so hard on the boys. As it is, it is worse than a ratio of 20to1 A. P. Smiley winked one eve impres- sively when the reporter approached him with the subject, which was taken to mean that e knew how to beat any such game as that. A. G. Burns said he had heard about the boycott, but it did not _trouble him. His diplomatic relations with the sex had not been aisturbed, and he felt that cooler judgment would soon prevail, Lieutenant Simpson was sure that the military men would receive fair treatment. from the gentler sex of Alameda. If they did not he had some thoughts of advanc- ing on Petaluma, where the hospitality of the bachelor maids has become famous through all the regiments of the guard, who recollect the glorious reception ac. corded the blue coats in the year 1894 at the encampment. Charles Neison declared that the never could play whist, anyhow, girls Charles )t the third finger for guidance of | { strained relations first | And it is hardona | kisses between unbetrothed young people are pure and good. She was rather doubtful, av first, as to her ability to cope with the subject. She said she was not in touch with the kissing habits of the people of to-day and had not discussed the matter. She was interested, | though, and finally answered by quoting? Out of the heart are the issues of life. ““That covers the whole matzer, it seems | tome,” she added. *If our hearts are pure, our acts—any of our scts—can only | be pure. Like other perfunctory perform- ances, kissing may be inspired by impure motives and then it would be bad. “‘And so I think the kissing of people who are not engaged is ill-advised. The formation of compacts will not lessen its prevalence, though. Idon’t know of any organization to effect that end in San Francisco, and I think that if there were | one it would fail of its end, for reforms are | not_effected by organization but by a | change of motives.” Mrs. M. H. Hecht thinks promiscuous ing is outrageon “Itisnot that anything bad may be in- tended,” she said. “The girl may mean | no wrong and be perfectly innocent in por- mitting the caress, but it takes two to per- form the operation and the girl does not know what the motive of the young man may be. Then, too, it indicates a famili- arity that is not_respectful. There is no need of it,and Iam sure a girl of good breeding would never for a moment dream of allowing a caress from a man who was merely a friend.” Mrs. Monroe Salisbury did not know of any combination in S8an Francisco such as the Alameda young ladies had formed. As to the propriety of a gir! allowing her- self to be caressed by others than her fiunce she would not talk, since she deemed that it was a matter that was settled once and all by a proper sense of delicacy. The Alameda girls had only decided on a rule that all voung women should follow. Blanche Bates, the young lady who has 50 much love-making to do in the Fraw- | ley Company at the Columbia Theater, was intensely interested in the organiza- tion of the voung women of Alameda, She protested laughingiy that she would never have joined. “Why,” she said, “they practically ad- mit by their protest that they have before this allowed young men to kiss them. Think how dreadful! And then, too, I think they are very unflatteringly honest when they imply, as they do, that the pleasures of tie previous kissing had all en on the young men’s side.’” Miss Bates said that she always “‘set her face against kissing,” that she considered it highly dangerous becanse of those *dreadful germs and things” Then | growing serious, she added : “It is a more important matter than | most girls think. I know there sre girls who allow men to kiss them and who kiss the men merely as a sort of way of being | entertaining. The girls who do this must have moments when they loathe them- selves for it. And sometimes when they meet the man whose kisses they will really value, the very memory of those other caresses will fill them with disgust. “Danger also lies in those seemingly in- nocent kissing games of the younger set, I think. “Why? Because when the girl grows older and a young man tries to kiss her, she will think: ‘What harm is it? and submit. They are kisses that might be called property kisses at first. There is danger of their becoming intensely real.” Laura Millard, the Tivoli’s prima donna, was not inclined to take the action of the Alameds girls seriously. It was evident that the very thought of their action | seerned preposterous her. “Come,” she said, “I'll be willing to wager that that organization of the girls goes to pieces before a month. Why, if they were to be fined for being kissed, and if they told the truth, you'd see that all their pocket money wens into the treas- |k issing wrong? Why, of course not. I think it's very nice. Thatis,” she added, “‘if he’s good-looking and one really cares for him.” Why, what harm can there be in kissing 2"’ The disagreeable smell produced by cab- bage in the process of cooking may be got ridgot if a plece of bread-crumb, tied in a fine white rag, is placed in the saucepan | with the watef.

Gov't Report Roal Baking when interviewed yesterday, to say tha | Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE LIGHTNING STRIKES AT HAYWARDS, The Electric Light Com- pany’s Plant Entirely Destroyed. A SHARP, AWFUL CRASH. Every House in the Town Was Shaken as If by a Violent Earthquake, SHATTERED THE BIG DYNAMO. Fragments of the Machine Hurled in Every Direction—The Electrician’s Narrow Escape. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO Cary,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 26. | Lightning struck and completely de- stroyed the powerful electric plant of the Haywards Electric Light Company this evening. The storm was at its height about 4 | o’clock, and the rain was so dense that everybody was forced to light the lamps at | their houses, or to turn on electric lights | where electricity was used. A few minutes aftet 4 o’clock there wasa clap of thunder that shook every house in town. Accompanying it was a vivid flash of lightning and a crash that nothing can describe. Toadd to the feeling of awe that the | lightning | darkness, the thunder and created, all the electric lights suddenly went out. The storm-center passed directly over the town, and while the tempest was at its height it was the fiercest ever seen in Hay- wards. F. B. Hooson, whose store is next to the telephone office, says that the rain seemed to fall in a solid mass, and before the sewers could carry it off many houses were flooded. As the town has just put down a very complete sewer system the precipita- tion must have been very great. “The thunder was something awful,” said Mr. Hooson to a UALL man to-night. “Nothing like it was ever heard here be- fore. Itshook the town as if there was an earthquake, and many people ran into the Henry Bolenhagen, Who Deserted His Wife and Two Young Daughters a Week Ago. [From a photograph.] streets in spite of the rain. The lightning seemed to illuminate the whole place. It was a succession of crashing flames thai made it appear dark as night as soon as they had passed. Assoon as the light- ning was over the electric lights went out, and we rightly guessed that something was wrong at the works.”’ How the dynamo was wrecked and how the electric fluid was conducted to it will never be known, for the lightning did its work too quickly for any one to wateh it. Edward McKinney, the fireman, was in the engine-room and when the lightning flashed he heard a loud noise in the power- room and at the same instant he was in darkness. He went into the dynamo- room and found that the working parts of the machinery had been thrown from the machine and were lying around the floor. The body of the machine was conpletely wrecked. The coils of wire that form part of the machine were enveloped in blue flames, which soon died out, and then it was seen that the lightning had, somehow orother, been conducted into the dynamo; the artificial and the natural lightning met and the machine was completely wrecked and blown to pieces. Joseph Putnam, the electrician who was on duty at the time, was not in the dynamo-room when the crash came, and to that absence he probably owes his life. The dynamo weighs several hundred pounds, and the fragments were hurled all over the place. The places where they struck show how forcible must have been their momentum, and had one struck Put- nam he would undoubtedly have been killed. Haywards is in darkness to-night, as the streets and nearly all the stores and hotels depended upon the electric lights for their iliumination, Several days must elapse before a new dynamo can be placed in posi- tion. In this city the sudden storm of this afternoon proved very disastrous to the territory between Twenty-second and Twenty-seventh streets and Grove street and Telegraph avenue. A large portion of this district was covered with three feet of water and was utterly impassable. The street department was busy to-night. Dozens ot people, at whose homes the basements were full and lower floors flooded, sought to obtain some relief. As the sewers,in that part of town are small and many were choked, no help could be given and the unfortunate peo- ple can only wait till the water works its way to the bay. The Grove-street cars were cut down to hourly trips and the Eighth-street system was cut off altogether for a time. A little over one inch of rain fell in an hour. DURRANT SEEMS ANXIOUS. The Convicted Murderer Now Refusesito Talk to Reporters. Durrant, the convicted and condemned murderer of Blanche Lamont, is morose aud out of humor with himself and every one wno comes in contact with him. A week or ten days ago he had a bilious attack, and though he has entirely recov- ered physically, his keepers notice a de- cided change in his manner. Whether it be due to recent illness or the close con- finement of nine months, or both, none seem willing to say, but all admit that he has grown sullen within the past two weeks. A CALL reporter visited the County Jail yesterday. Repeated knocking at the wicket of his cell failed to elicit any Tesponse. Finally a prisoner across the aisle suggested that the visitor pull the wicket down. This advice was followed, and Durrant was observed sitting at a table apparently absorbed in a novel. It was not until the reporter ventured to make an inquiry con- cerning his health that the condemned murderer deigned to raise his_eyes from the book he was so intently reading. ‘How are you, Mr. Durrant?” said the | visitor. ‘I am very well,”” was the reply. | ‘“You nave been sick for several days, | bave you not?” “Yes, but I am all right now, and I don’t care to be disturbed.” 5 *‘Would you mind coming to the wicket for a moment?” The unexpeciéd response was a sugges- tion that the inquirer depart for a region where Truckee’s ice carnival wouldn’t last a minnte, and Durrant followed this by dropping his eyes again on the book he was reading when interrupted. A few more questions were addressed him, but to all purposes he was oblivious to the ex- | istence of any one save himself and the characters in the novel. S | .~ Durrant’s change of attitude is attributed to the uncertainty hanging over February 11, at which time his attorneys will move for a new trial. DESERTED HS FAMIL, Henry Bolenhagen Disappears With His Little Son and His Money. The Man Is Believed to Have Gone to Germany, Intending to Never Return. Henry Bolenhagen of 9 Yerba Buena street left his home a week ago last Satur- day and has succeeded so well in covering | up his tracks that not the slightest trace | can be obtained of him. He took with | him his son Herman, a child about 7 years old, ostensibly for the purpose of going to Petaluma, where he had spoken of going into business, but be has not been seen or | heard of at that place. | Mrs. Bolenhagen, who has been left be- | hind with two daughters, has made in- l quiries at the various railroad and steam- | | ship offices, but failed to gain any tidings of her recreant husband. The man had | between $2000 and $3000 at the German | Savings Bank, and this sum he is sup- posed to haye drawn, and his wife fears he has carried out a frequently made threat of returning to Germany. Mrs. Bolenhagen is quite prostrated with grief, not only at the sudden disappear- ance of her husband, but also at the loss of her boy. Bolenhagen was employed as bartender Whom He Son Herman, Away to Germany. (From e photograph.i at the saloon of Wheeland & Collins, on | Montgomery street, where he had been for years.

Some Timely Suggestions for a Public Man. If it is worth the while of & public man to grant an interview at all, it is certainly worth his while that it should be done well, and it can only be done well if he conde. scends to step down from his pedestal, and co-operate almost en-collegue with the interviewer. In the first place, the inter- viewer, who has had a large experience in his craft, is a specialist. He is more likely than the interviewee to undéerstand the conditions which go to the construction of a successful interview, and therefore he should be allowed a tolerably free hand, as regards from the arrangement. Personally, of course I always take stock as rapidly as Icanof the interviewee and consult his humor in everything. After all, he is the person most intimately concerned with the success of the joint production, as it is his name with which the public i3 con- cerned and not that of the interviewer, Who is almost invariably anonymous. I am always in his debt for the conces- sion of the interview, and, if he wishes it, he maust be largely master of its manner. 1 am only suggesting that the wisest plan, after the original act of gracious conde- scension has been committed, is to forger, for the brief hour. of the interview, that you are a Jupiter and the other man a lack beetle. Don’t imagine that he is necessarily unconversant with_affairs, litical or literary. Why, a rising politi- cian actually explained to me how a most elementary word should be spelled.

[YACHTSMEN ON A WHEEL Prominent Corinthian Club Men Caught in the Popular Craze, NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED. Known as the Calamity Cycling Club. The Members Will Arrange Many Country Tours. The bicycle fad is scorchingly hot, All classes its influence feel; Now the “‘man at the wheel” is abjuring his yacht To appear as the “man on the wheel.” The cycling craze has taken possession of men and women in all stages of life and society. It has steadily drawn recruits from otnher sports, until to-day it ranks as the greatest outdoor sport of the time, and has more devotees actually engaged in the pastime than any other sport ever known. While the large body of wheelmen do not belong to clubs or the League of American Wheelmen, and are thercfore designated by the term ‘‘unattached,” still the tendency has been for a few jolly spirits to get together now and then, or- ganize a club among themselves and admit their friends to membership, and in this way some of the largest clubs on the coast have grown to prominence. The latest addition to cycling clubdom promises to be at least a novelty in its way, and the names of the charter mem- bers and some of the rules and regulations they have adopted lead to the impression that the club will be a startling success if its aims are ail carried out. The by-laws indicate that its name shall be ““Calamity €ycling Club,” the objects being to promote cycling and brewery in- terests. The officers are to be a chairman, secretary - treasurer, captain, lieutenant and repairer. The dues will be 50 cents per month, and the membership shall be limited to twenty-five. The dues for each month, after expenses for stationery and postage are deducted, shall be expended for solid and liquid refreshments for the members present on the runs during that month, of which there are to be two monthly. Careful inquiry has elcited the fact that all the members of the Calamity Club are yachtsmen and mempbers of the Corinthian Yacht Club. This may account for a pe- culiar provision in the by-laws, which reads: A v clothes worn at Corinthian Yacht Club nks are permissible on club runs, bar- ring, of course, the Chapman lambie and :he McLaren dog-skin coat. To-day was the date for the first run or cruise awheel, and it was decided to go to San Jose. The rain has resulted in a post- ponement of the trip one week, however. The postal notice stated that members would not be required to ride as fast as the captain or secretary, as there would be a separate division to accommodate every slow rider. No 1897 wheels will be allowed on club runs. The officers for 1896, by mutual consent, will be: M. A. Newhall, chairman; E. A. Kolb, secretary-treasurer; F. E. Baker, captain; C. R. McKee, first lieutenant; F., W. Merrill, repairer. There are now over a dozen names on the roll and the full membership of twenty-five will doubtless be attained be- fore the next meeting. Some of the pres- ent and prospective members, all of them Corinthian yachtsmen, are mentioned: J. L. Hawks, Walter Crowell, Oscar Elling- house, J. A. Denhard, Sanford Plummer, Fred Russ Cook, Pete Sloane, Dave Mc- Laughlin, Edwara and Hugo Neil, Will Toepke, Robert Tittle and many others. DMEL BAH IS HERE, Philadelphia’s Art Club Presi- dent Tells of the East- ern Work. He Offers Some Suggestions That Might Interest the Local Art Association. Daniel Baugh, president of the Phila- on his way to Japan. He is accompanied by Mrs. Baugh. Mr. Baugh is well known in the East as a patron of art and artists. He has been president of the Philadelphia Art Ciub for- three years and bas done much to increase the interest in art in that city. He has offered a number of prizes to artists in Philadelphia and has had much to do with the management of local art galleries. Mr. Baugh has u splenaid residence on Locust avenue and recently entertained there Benjamin Constant, the great French artist who painted ‘“The Captive,” the picture which Mr. Searles has just presented to the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. The Art Club has done much for art in Philadelphia on account of the lines upon which, and the purposes for which, it was formed. Sfienking of this yesterday at the Palace Mr. Baugh said: “The Art Club was formed eight or nine years ago for the purpose of fostering a taste for art in thef] city. Its membership includes some 800 people who are not artists and about 100 artists. Of course a reat many, when asked to join, particu- arly those who really cared little for or knew little about art and were willing to join for social purposes, predicted that the club would soon become simply social in its character. But that has not been the case. All the members have acquired a taste for art and take a lively interest in it. The club has an art gallery in which are given three exhibitions a year—one of water colors, one of oil and sculpture and the third of architecture, Then artist members are allowed to hang their pie- tures in the gallery under certain restric- tions at any time. “‘The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts has been in existence for fifty years, has given annual exhibitions, and has done & great deal for art, but Philadel- phians are conservative, and probably their Quaker proclivities made them look with considerable indifference on art. Since the starting of the Art Club a fi"“ deal more interest has been taken in the exhibitions, and as a consequence they have much im- proved. g “*Of course, I don’t want you to under- stand that the object of the club is to patronize artists and help them to get a start, but to help art by instilling in the people a knowledge of 1t and a taste for it,” Acknowledged by All.
