16 T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1896, TALBOT CLIFTON'S POLO BREECHES, Sued for Their Price in the Justice's Court Yes- terday. WHITE AS DRIVEN SNOW Collectors Utterly Failed to Find His Lordship at Home. LILLIE WINTERS' LITTLE CLAIM She Asks $65 for Services and Goods, Wares and Merchandise Furnished. - A few weeks ago a fender and a pair of andirons entangled Lord Tal- bot Clifton, the English nobleman who has $60,000 a year and spends more, in a legal fight with a gas-fitter's firm which insisted on being paid for the utensils, and now it is a scarlet coat and pair of polo trousers—spotless white polo breeches— that have performed the same operation. When his lordship became a member of the Burlingame Club, from which fifty members recently resigned because of the un-American manners and sports that had taken possession of the crganization, his wardrobe, despite its magnificent propor- tions, did not contain a pair of polo trou- gers that had not been worn at least twice, and a scarlet coat—absolutely necessary for the maintenance of Lis position asa scion of the Enghsh nobility—was also spicuous by its absence. The trousers and coat were indispensa- ble, and Lord Clifton sent his valet to the most fashionable tailor the employe could find to see that the deficiency was sup- plied. Those trousers—or breeches as they are described in the bill rendered, but not an- s bloomers were ever cut with are than were Clifton’s breech The snowiest of white cloth was used in building them, the trimmings were of the richest fabrics, and when the tall and elegant form of Clifton dawned on the gaoze of the young scions of the aristocracy assembled at Burlingame the green-eyed monster took possession of ma hearts. When astride a dimin- lo pony Clifton’s pedal appendages came 1nto contact with the vulgar but the set of those breecnes was perfect. Nor was the coat in the shade in respect to style. All agreed that the cut and fit were a am. But Lord Clifton failed to pay for the clothes with the same grace that be bad worn them. At first the firm, after waiting a respect- ! period, sent a bill and later a duplicate the same. No response being forth- T took a hand in the pro- no more successful than per intimations that the time for settlement haa come and gone. Though he called frequently and not tiently at his lordship’s luxuri- ments in the Maison Riche he n und any one at home but the valel, who invariabiy explained that his master was out, sometimes exhibiting a stack of unopened letters, some of them bearing on the envelopes the addresses of well-known business firms, to prove his assertion. Then the firm became impatient and turned the bill over to Rauer with instruc- tions 1o sue if necessary to get the amount due, Thus it was that a suit entitled “J. J. Rauer vs. Talbot Clifton, a lord,” was filed in the Justice Court yesterday. ’s claim is notthe only one endeavoring to collect from 1 3 . forin the same complaint is included that of one Lillie Winters, which dem s $65 for *‘services rendered and goods, w. and merchandise furnished.” INTELLIGENCE 0F TS Their Socialistic Communities and Almost Civilized Methods. They Have Nurses, Soldiers, Laborers, Milkmen—Dr. C. H. Steele’s Lecture. Dr. C. H. Steele, professor of materia medica in Cooper Medical College and resi- dent physician at the Lane Hospital, gave a very interesting lecture last night on the Lillipdtian institutions of ants and the almost human socialistic principles of ant- dom. There are four stages to the period of growth of the young. The egg hatches in from fifteen days to six weeks, when the larvie or grub state is reached. These grubs are assorted and consigned to com- partments according to their size by the ever watchful and patient nurse ants. In another six weeks the grub assumes its in- sect chave, though it is stiti very tender and white, ana in this condition it is a most-tempting morsel of food to cannibal neighbors from another tribe. But in an- other six weeks the nurses lift it from its ——————————————————— (Uticura Instantly Relieves SKIN TORTURES A warm bath with Cuticura Soap, ~ ,a single application of N Cuticura (ointment), great skin cure, followed by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOLVENT (the new blood purifier), will.afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure in every form of torturing, disfiguring skin humours. old thronehout the world.

Ants have regular hours for labor and recreation, their common work purpose being the laying in of supplies for winter. So systematically have they ~ arranged their co-operative system that there is no wasting of energy. In youth each ant is educated to per- form some special function in the com- munity. and consequently there is no fric- tion, and in every household there is great harmony. g The queen or mother ant’s duty is simply to lay the eggs, and she is not par- ticularly respected, but when she dies the | family affection manifests itself in much ceremony over the body, which is per- mitted to lie in state for many weeks be- fore it is ejected from the habitation. The males are the least important. As the lecturer remarked it shows how com- pletely deteriorated the male becomes where the female has obtained complete sway, and this he predicted might be the case with the new woman. The females are the workers and they not only perform the labor but do the fighting when two ant armies meet in bat- tle, asis often the case when one settle- ment in nice battle formation moves upon | another settlement to capture the edible young. The ant abodes are wondrously con- structed and consist of subterranean pas- | sageways connecting different rooms. among which are large assembly halls, living apartments and storerooms, all guarded at their approaches by a regular system of sentries. Ants build ro construct open and | covered bridges a: make t\lnm-L some- | times of great iength. They hunt singly, but they fight and forage in armies.

There are carpenter ants, that build homes of bits of wood; mason ants, that make plaster by the aid of an acid they exude; agricultural ants, that clear and cultivate the ground and plant out grass seed, and there are ants that milk the avis, a sort of plant lice that secretes a sweet fluid. 3 It is estimated that the ant can raise 3000 times 1ts own weight. The sick and injured are carefully tended by the nurses, but if a diagnosis indicates fatal injuries the case is abandoned. SR HE STOLE THREE WATCHES. An Ex-Conviet Makes Free With the Jewelry of an Actor. Eugene Girard, alias Emiol Girardieu, has been booked atihe City Prison on a charge of petty larceny. The charge, how- ever, having been preceded by prior cone victions on the same grounds magnifies it to the degree of a felony. On March 6 Girard entered the dressing- room oi Frank H. Crane at the Baldwin Theater and stole a silver watch. On March 9 he entered the jewelry-store of Erick Puthon, at 508 Bush street, and while the proprietor was 1n the rear of the place stole 4 silver and a zold watch. Detectives Harper and Bee have recov- ered the three watches. Girard served three months in the Coun- ty Jail, datinz November, 1894, on a con- viction of petty larceny, and on August 8, 1895, he was again convicted and sen- tenced to six months’ imprisonment for a { similar offense. e e He Cut His Throat. Adolph F. Anderson, a roustabont in the South End saloon at the Potrero, attempted suicide by cutting his throat yesterday after- noon. He was conveyed to the City and County Hospital for treatment. Anderson, who is slightly demented, has been complain- ing of late tiat ha2was working too hara and getting too littie to eat. —————— Trains to Be Discontinued.

There is no law which prohibits the housing of a dying man next to a corpse—if the corpse is removed and buried within the legal five days. Another corpse may be substi- tuted for the one buried, often is, and thus the dying man kept within constant sight and touch of lifeless forms—and thereis no law beyond the moral code to prevent | it if the dens are kept reasonably clean. There isno law that can reach the case of a family which hides the dead body of its member until enough money has been raised to pay the undertaker’s expenses. This is frequently done in Chinatown. Sometimes the corpse is bidden in the cellar orin trunks or boxes for a week or more at a time—and no white man knows it or can learn the secret until at last the necessary burial money has been secured and the Chinese undertaker is called in. The dead body is then hanled away to one of the “Chambers of Tranquility,” de- | posited on a table beside the dying, and left there till the coffin has been made and all the formalities for burial concluded. There is g great deal of this sort of thing in Chinatown, but it is only among the poor people; ‘and, of course, they don't count. This is Chinese philosophy, at least; so vastly different from Caucasian practice, wherein the poor are cared for in health, nursed as tenderly when sick and buried with as much honor when dead as the rich. But the Mongolian is entirely heartless toward the poor. The rich in Chinatown are buried with great pomp and ceremony, while the poor are left to die amid all the horrors of the *‘Chambers of Tranquility,” and then are buried in the City graveyard, in case their cousins are too poor to pay for the shipment of the bones to China. Some of the things viewed by the visit- ing- physicians yesterday are so atrocious in their nature, so ghastly and so filthy in their surroundings, however, as to come plainly within the Jaw. Dr. McMurdo will report. to Health Officer Dr. Lovelace rec- ommending that these places be con- demned as public nuisances. Perhaps the worst of these was found in a narrow alley running off the north side of Jackson street, between Stockton and Powell. The alley is foul and damp, being the dumping ground for the refuse ofa dozen families whose kitchen windows conve niently open on it. The alley is malodorous, and one must step carefully Near the farend of it, on the eastern side, is a rickety frame structure, from the door of | which when opened still fouler smells greet the nostrils. It is dark and damp and cold within. It is also bare and comfort- less, and squalid and unclean. Yesterday the visitors found no dead bodies here. for there has not been a death in Chinatown reported within the past ten days. But there were the tables upon whieh the corpses are laid. Dr. McMurdo him- self vouched for it that many dead are brought here. One patient was in the | dark and foul room. He was idiotic, speechless from disease—his voice not as strong as a low whisper—and his frame so A Scene in One of the Chambers of the Ah Lick Hospital, Where the Dead and Dying Lie Side by | Side Next to the Room Where the Bones of Rich Chinamen Are Housed.

The door was opened and the visitors passed througha long passage- way, which ended in the rooms of the ‘Wong Wah Company, fronting on Stock- ton street. Here half a dozen Mongolians were found, every one of whom disclaimed all knowledge of the deadroom downstairs and its living occupant. In an alleyway almost as foul with rot- ting vegetable matter and much other refuse, which runs north from Pacific street, between Stockton and Dupont, is the Ah Lick Hospital, or “‘Quiet Nursing | Place.” It is certainly very quiet. Knocking on the first door in the long brick building brought a response from a very voluble and somewhat rotund heathen, who was overanxious to prove that all was well in his deadhouses. He said they beloneed to the Man Fook On Company, and reluc- tantly opened the three outside doors that lead to as many dirty, dark and narrow deadchambers. Here the small chambers are divided off into spaces like stalls ina stable, and in each stall five boards rest on sawhorses, making tables or couches; two of these in each stall—one for the corpse, one for the pauper that is soon to become a corpse. There they lay and grin at each other until at first one and then the other goes off to the City cemetery in a pine box. In ove of these deadchambers was a tuber- culosis patient under the influence of opium. He must have had ‘“‘cousins” of some means to enjoy the nepenthe. The | other living occupants of these dead- chambers in this “‘quiet nursing place’’ lay motionless and so far as one could see un- attended. “He die soon,” said the voluble China- man, pointing to one patient. Indeed, it would be remarkable if he lived another day in these foul and wretched quarters. Beside him was a door fastened witha great heavy padlock, which could not be opened for the inspection of the visitors because the keeper who had the key, *‘Him glon away,” explained the guide. But inside this padlocked room were the bones of the rich dead awaiting shipment to China. 1n each one of these three dead- houses is a ‘‘bonehouse,” as it is called, and the man who had the keys to all of them could not be fonnd. Both of these alleys will be condemned by the Health Board, it is expected. At least they will be reported as public nui- sances. They are certainly endangering to the public health, for the odors that come from them are laden with the microbes of all sorts of diseases. Halfa dozen other Chinese undertakers were visited, mostof which were found fairly clean for Chinatown, and one or two were scrupulously so. But the best of | them are sad affairs, and all of them con- tain berths for the dying. Sometimes a thin partition divides the bunksof the quick from the dead—sometimes not. ‘What a gruesome, ghastly custom it is, though, to take a sick man to the under- taker's before death has closed his eyes to the unpleasant scenes of such places. In the best and cleanest “Chamber of | Tranquility” in Chinatown—that on Stock- | ton, near Pacific—the visitors found a man making cotlins in the front room for the | two dying men in the back room. And the back room and front room communi- | cates by a large open doorway. Itisnot | an improper thing, in the Mongolian | scheme of ethics, for the dying man—if he be poor—to lie 1n his bunk at the dead- house and watch the undertaker nail to- | gether the redwood box that will soon hold | his lifeless form. It was a question, often, | whether the coffin will be ready before the man dies or thie man die before the box is | finished.

WHICH WAS DEFRAUDED? The Nevada Bank Has Been Sued for the Amount of the Raised Check. The Crocker-Wdolworth Bank has com- menced suit against the Nevada Bank for the recovery of the $22,000 which it paid outon the raised check cashed by forger Dean and his accomplices. Several days ago the suit was filed by Lloyd & Wood, atiorneys for the Crocker- Woolworth Bank, and since that time about $1600 of the amount has been recoy- ered. The recovery of this sum was ac- complished vezy quietly and successfully. When Detectives Seymour and Whittaker went to Minneapolis to bring back Dean and McClosky, they were accompanied by the former office-boy of Dean. He posi- tively identified the men, and this fact not only facilitated the extradition of the men, but also satistied Mr, Maxwell and the other officials -of the Minneapolis bank that they would be entirely safe in paying over to the Crocker-Woolworth Bank the $1600 which it held as adeposit from Dean. There is, in truth, quite an interesting story in connection with the Dean forgery case that has yet_to be made public, and there is involved in it also quite an inter- esting legal question for the courts to de- cide, quite_aside from the guilt or iano- cence of Dean. When Dean was first arrested the Minneapolis Bank officials announced that there was about $1600 de- posited there in Dean’s name. Of course this sum rightfully belonged to the defrand- ed San Francisco bank, but there was no precipitate haste made in_ claiming it For a time no one seemed to want the money. The Nevada Bank kad lost noth- ing in the Dean transaction, so it professed no claim against Dean's estate. The face value of the check was paid out by the Crocker-Woolworth Bank. * Still this bank had assumed the position thatit wasnot re- sponsible for the big amount, and there- fore it hesitated to seemingly abrogate its position by making a demand for the $1600, which, though a small portion of the $22,000 check, was yet a sum not to be thrown away merely for the chance of re- covering the whole amount. In its suit against the Nevada Bank the Crocker-Woolworth institution disclaimed all responsibility, and asked the court to make the nNevada Bank refund the full amount of the Dean check. The Nevada Bank’s answer to this suit has just been filed by Attorneys Delmas and Shortridge. This answer alleges, in brief, that at tue time Dean deposited the $22,000 check in the Nevada Bank he had a | legitimate balance there of $2200; that the Nevada Bank received the check merely as Dean’s agent for the purpose of collection; that under the rules of the Clearing-house, of which both banks are members, it is provided that clearances shall be made at | 2P. ., and if for any reason tue check is refused by the paying bank it must be re- turned to the other bank before 4 p. M. of the same day; that no money was paid to Dean till the day after the ckeck was de- posited, when he was paid $20,000, and the check was not returned uniil about three weeks after it had passed through the Clearing-nouse. Upon these allegations of fact the Ne- vada Bank claias that the Crocker-Wool- worth Bank was negligent in the matter, i:ud therefore solely responsible for its own 03s. Before this answer was filed, however, the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, guided by the lezal acumen of Messrs. Lloyd & Wood, began to have a very large yearning for at least the one-eleventh of aloaf that lay within reach, and as a preliminary meas- ure the $1600 in the Minneapolis Bank was garnished. P Yesterday the money was finally paid over by the Minneapolis Bank to the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, the latter risk- ing the technical point involved. It definitely understood, however, that the Nevada Bank will seek to take no advan- tage of this transaction and that whatever matters are involved in any way in_ the criminal proceedings against Dean and his bank account will in no way affect the status or bearing of the civil suit pending between the Crocker-Woolworth and the Nevada ban ERIN CHORAL CIRCLE. Grand Entertainment to Be Given St. Patrick’s Eve—A Unique Feature. “The Erin Choral Circle,” which is to furnish the vocal music on the occcasion of the St. Patrick’s day celebration at Met- ropolitan’ Hall, Monday evening, March 16, held a rehearsal at St. Paul’'s Hall last evening. Professor R. D. Valerga acted as leader. The membershipof this choral society is made up of some of the most gifted and vocalists in the City. The plan of its organizers to admit only excellen t talent has been strictly adhered to. Hence those who attend the celebration are sur e to enjoy a rare treag of Irish vocal music. The subject of the Rev.J. P. Ferguson s The score after yesterday afternoon’s hour ride was: Miss Farnsworth, 19 miles 4 laps; Miss Worth, 19 miles 3 laps; Miss Mack, 19 miles 4laps; Miss West, 18 miles 1 lap; Miss Peterson, 19 miles 4 laps. Miss Farnsworth had a slight advantage over the others in the finishing sprint. During the evening’s riding Miss West's | wheel broke down, and she was obliged to drop out after having ridden 27 miles 1 lap. Miss Worth also dropped back somewhat, not being able to hold the pace. - All went well until about fifteen minutes before the end of the evening's racing, when Miss Mack and Miss Peterson col- lided on the track and fell. Misses Farns- worth and Worth escaped the general mix- up, the former immediately sprinting and gaining «two laps before the others re- mounted and tried to regain the lost time, but it was a hard race and they were un- eq’:ml to the task. - Miss Farnsworth led at the finish, the score being as follows: Miss Farnsworth, 55 miles 5 laps. Miss Worth, 45 miles 2| laps; Miss Mack. 55 miles; Miss Peterson, 55 miles 3 laps; Miss West, 27 miles 1 lap. The racing will continue this afternoon from 8 to 4 o'clock and this evening from 8 to 10, and the same hours to-morrow, after which cycte racing at the Pavilion is at an end for this year. = President White of the Associated Clubs is going to remove John S. Egan of the Imperia) Cycling Club from his position on the racing board for what he considers a very mean trick. Egan tried to play on the association Thursday night at iis bene- fit at the Pavilion. 5 Egan and Jaegling were asked to pace Otto Ziegler Jr. in his record trial and agreed to do so. Five minutes before the event was announce! Egan went to White and demanded a $25(prize or they would not ride. White was oblized to accede to their demands in order not to disappoint the public, but at once brought the matter before the other officers of the association, and Egan will be removed and severeiy censured at the next meeting. ;i It 15 probable that the League of Ameri- can Wheeimen will also take up the case and suspend Eagan from all track-racing for life. Juegling is not criticized, as it is said he was not a party to the scheme. The association netted a nice sum for its treasury by the benefit. All the officials worked hard for it and the racing men did their best to make it a euccess, and they are all very sore to think that one of their own men should try to meake anything oud | L NEW TOQ-DAY.
