THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1896. July 4 and one on the bay on September 9. There is also talk of having a regatta ar- rb:nged for Thanksgiving day, in Novem- = A dominant featurc of the regatta will be the crack coxswains of the aifferent crews. The Ariels will have a celebrated Eastern coxswain, who has won many victories in the big regattas of New York bay. The Doiphins pride themselves on their navigator, little George Roach, who has been knocking about_boats all his life. Nelson Echart will handle the Topes for Berkeley; Themas Gilfeather will - steer for the Olympics, and George McGrill, the coast champion, will handle the rudder for the South Ends. R A celebrated little coxswain from one of the Victoria boat clubs is in town, and is | being anxiously sought for by one of the local clubs. * Al Fritz of the South End Club received a letter from A. G. Brown, secretary of the Stockton Athletic Association, in which the writer states that rowing is booming in Stockton. They will send down a very speedy junior crew,and a junior single They will also try to reorganize their old senior crew, which defeated the Pioneers ana gave the South Ends such a hard vace at the Stockton regatta on July 4 last. The candidates for the junior crew of | the South Ends are: J. E. Scully, Jim Palias, Tim Fitzpatrick, Ed Tobin, Ea Slattery and George I T. Barry will soon have bis crew in shape again for another tussie with the South End seniors. He expects next time to turn the tables. The Ariels have two junior crews in training and a try-out race will be held soon to see which will represent the club of advancing an interest in the game; but sufficient to say that tickets are §oinz like ‘‘hot cakes,” and the only subject dis- cussed among athletes is the Olympic box- iug‘ tournament. - 'he Pavilion will hold thousandsof peo- ple on the night in question and the pro- ceeds will go to the club, which is well de- serving of financial support. A The frienas of George Green are sanguine that he can handsomely dispose of his opponent, Owen_Zeigler, ifiside of ten rounds. Zeigler is training at the six-mile house, and except a few intimate friends, visitors to the training quarters of the Eastern boxer are refused the privilege of seeing him spar with his attendant, Hugh Kennedy, who, by the way, is no relation to Sir William Kennedy of the Oly mpic. The men will box at catch weights. Green, it is said, will enter the ring at 142 pounds, and Ziegler expects to box at 136 pounds, A very interesting contest will result between J. A. McGinley and Del Hawkins. Both of the men are expert boxers and a clever bout is expected. They will weigh in at 135 pounds. Joe Sullivan and J. Riley will box at119 pounds, and E. Van Buskirk and *‘Soldier” Walker will weigh as_they please, they be- ing heavy-weights. With the exception of the Green and Ziegler contest of ten rounds all other bouts will be six rounds. The wind-up will be between Van Bus- kirk and the Soldier and it promises to be a hurricane from start to finish, that is provided “the Soldier” will not lose heart and play the peek-a-boo game of dropping to the floor so- as to save his heart from slipping down into his boots.

The Alameda Boating and Swimming Club adopted anew constitution and by- laws last meeting. _ At a meeting of the Olympic Club boat- ing annex, held the other evening at the Olympic Club, four new members were admitted, and the present membership is now thirty-five. The club’s present stock of boats is as follows: Two four-oared shells, one four- onrfld barge, two whitehalis and a single scall. There is some taik of having football player, substituted for Graham in the senior crew. Their new shell will not be completed until the midale of May, when it is their intention to begin regular training. —_— CRICKET CHIRPS The First Cup Matches of the Sea- son to Be Played To-Morrow. The first schedule events for the season of the California Cricket Association for the “Hunter Harrison Cup” will be played to-morrow. At Alameda the club of that name, which starts the season in the first place, will contend with the Pacific com- bination. The formidable Bohemians will meet the California team at Golden Gate. Both events will be watched with un- usual interest, for new names appear in all four elevens and this infusion of new blood may change the present order of the competing clubs very materially. : Our Eastern friends are buxilly; preparing to open the season as soon as the weather makes it possible. Enthusiasm on the game it particularly evident at Chicago. In the St. George's Club there has been a large influx of talent, and a large sum of money has been spent in improving their already excellent ground. It is rumored that the Cambridge (Eng- land) University eleven will visit the United Statee during their long vacation and play the leading Eastern clul Now for a tussle %etween the West. almost to a man, at- and lithographers’ Morse, the sst and UMPIRE. e A BOXING. Favorites In the Olympic Tourna- ment—$1000 for Charlty. The all-absorbing topic at the Olympic Club is the boxing festival® which is scheduled to take place at the Mechanics’ Pavilion on the evening of May 1. It goes without saying that it will be one of the great athletic events of the sea- son. The superintendent of the club polishes off his field glasses daily in the bope of seeing something new in the way bility this will be the combination team. The referee will not be selected until the evening of the contests. The National Athletic Club is endeavor- ing to secure a second meeting between Choynski and Sharkey. Choynski is very anxious for another chance to prove io the _public that he can stop Sharkey #r eight rounds or less. * He says that had it not been for the accident which happened to him in the first round of his last fight he would have won the long end of the purse, but Sharkey is of a very dif- ferent opinion. The following letter has been received by Mayor Sutro from the president of the Children’s Home: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. 3700 California Street. To His Honor, Mayor Sutro: It affords me great pleasure to advise you that the Hospital for Children has received the sum of $1! from the National Athletic Club, a donation from the receipts of the recent exhibitions iven bv that club, and they have kept faith v giving exactly what was promised. 1 may add that this gift is extremely wel- come, as our treasury at this_time is quite de- pleted. Yours very respectiully, Ewmya A. HARRINGTON, President. San Francisco, April 23, 1896. The Manhattan Athletic Club will give one of its much-looked-for entertainments at 1749 Mission street Monday evening.

Next Sunday Glindermann will shoot 2 100-shot off-hand match with J. Utschiz Sr. for $40 a side. The match is attracting much attention among the riflemen. HANDBALL. Riordan and Harlow Will Play for the Championship. Phil Ryan of the San Francisco Hand- ball court is deeply interested in the match which was consummated a few days ago be- tween John Riordan, who held the single- banded championship or the coast for many years, and James Harlow, who is the present champion, having defeated Bonnet recently for the title. Riordan is training faithfully for this contest and his many friends expect to see him once again crowned Champion Jack. The following programme of games will be carried out to-morrow : M. McNeil and J. Rodgers to and G. McDonaid. J. Nelson and P. Hutchin- son to play J. Slattery aud P. Kelly. M. Ed- wards and J. White to play J. Collins and W. Stansbury, P. Donnelly, the amateur cham- pion, and G. Hutchinson to play Al Pennoyer and J. Lewless. The Union bandball court has a fairly good programme of games arranged for to-morrow. The eventof the day will be a game between A. Pennoyer and R. Line- han against J. J. Feeny and Teddy Mc- Manus, lay R. Shea e YACHTING. The Corinthlans WIll Open the Season To-Day. The Corinthian Yacht Club, which is composed of the most jovial and enthu- siastic yachtsmen of the coast, will open its season of pleasure outings to-day at Tiburon. Promptly at 2 o'clock {festivities will begin. Anelaboratevaudeville programme has been arranged for the entertainment of the lady frierds of the yachtsmen, for the Corintfiians always believe in having the fair sex present at their opening days. In the evening the jinks will commence and will be exclusively for the members and their gentlemen friends. It promises to be a rare treat, as the jolly tars intend to conduct festivities witu a” lavish hand. To deviate the course of social enjoy- ment papers from yachting authorities will be read and the affairs of the club dis- cussed, and on the morrow the yacnts of the Corinthians will cruise in squadron about the bay, when the season will be officially opened and racing commenced. e Baseball. The society game scheduled for 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at Central Park be- tween the University Club’s many-college nine and the Varsity team of the Univer- sity of California will be played as adver- tised unless it should rain hard this after- noon, in which case it will be postponed to a date to be published later. As Chetwood of the University Club broke his thumb in recent diligent prac- tice for the event, several changes will be made in the makeup. Joe Tobin will play in left field, F. B. Howard taking his place in right, and Lieutenant Smedberg will cover the bag at third. Otherwise the per- sonnel of both teams wita respect to their positions as published yesterday will be maintained. Next Saturday afternoon the second of the series of three intercoilegiate games between Stanford and Berkeley for this year’s championship will be played on the campus at Palo Alto. EEE G R Sacramento Sporting News. SACRAMENTO, Car.,, April 24.—The severe rain of tbe last two days has made the roads so heavy that it has been con- cluded o postpone the relay race between the Stockton and Sacramvento bicycle clubs until the weather is seitled. This is annoying, as all the riders were in excel- lent condition. The outing of the Guz- zlers, a Sacramento club of heavy-weights, is also postponed for the same reason. The Capitol City Blue Roek Club will send the following-named shots to repre- sent it at the Stockton tournament, which takes place on the 30th and 31st of May: Ruhstaller, Yoerk, Nicholaus, Newbert, Stevens and Upson. The team has been practicing bard ana is getting into fine shape. . The Eckhardt tournament of blue rocks will take place on May 3. The first event will be twenty-five singles; second, fifteen birds, $2 entrance, $5 added; third, mer- chandise shoot, six valuable prizes, $2 en- trance; fourth, fifteen birds, $150 en- trance; fifth, 25-bird match, $150 en- trance, $10 added. Trout are reported as taking the fly at Floriston, a few miles beyond Truckee. The best success has been obtained with g THE RIFLE. Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club Testing Nitro Powder. F. O. Young of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club has recently been making ex- veriments in the use of mitro powder in rifles. The results have been more gratify- ing than was expected, not only in clean- brown hackle. Several fine baskets have been made, but the water is still high. ‘W. H. Eckhardt captured the diamond medal at the monthly meet of the Sacra- mento Rifle Club last Sunday; he made 11 bullseyes out of twenty shots at 200 yards range. The third prize shoot of the Spoon- bill Club will be held on the 3d of ]\Riy at the Eckhardt shooting grounds at Agri- cultural Park. Game Warden Helms has received noti- liness and convenience, but in the scores. A number of the riflemen have been a little timid about using the new ex- plosive, and without even giving it a trial have condemned its use, claiming that it is unrelieble and too liable to give wild shots. Afterstudying the prinziples of the guestion Mr. Young concluded that in ord er to make the nitro do its best work a radical departure would have to be made from the time-honored practice in the use of the old common black powder. His experiments led him to these con- clusions: Fuirst, nitro powder is converted into gas almost instantly, hence the bullet must be of such material as to re- spond instently to the pressure exerted. Otherwise the force of the explosion would be as much backward as forward. To obtain the full effect upon the bullet he has made it of pure lead, the soft metal aff ording less resistance in passing along the grooves or rifling than a bullet contain- ing tin. Again, he allows a small air sEace betwesn the bullet and the powder charge, thus affording an air cushion, which assists in starting the missile. His bullets are all /introduced at the muzzle, for two reasons—they clean and lubricate the barrel at the same time and also fit to the rifling. With the item of friction so largely overcome Mr. Young is able to use full charges of nitro, that is, chax}ges that equal the black powder meas- ure jor measure. A. H. Pape, one of Columbia’s best rifle- shots, in company with Mr. Young, made several efi};enments with nitro on Wednes- day at Harbor View. He used patched bullets, cleaning with a dry rag after each shot, to remove the nitro dust. He used for a'charge an amount equal in bulk to 45 grains. A mistake must not bz made by supposing that it was 45 grains in weight, the nitros being lighter than the black. Following are two of his scores, shot off-hand, at 200 yards on the Colum- bia target: 41nch... 41344374740 6 2-10-inch . 65 11111 6 7 2 2-62 Thie shows that the first ten shots were bunched in the 4-inch circle. The second string was bunched in a 5 2-10-inch circle, With aitro used as directed tnere is no verceptible recoil, even in the large charges. William Ghindermann, anotner mem- ber of the Columbias, is rapidly coming to the front as a rifle shot. He has been above the average for seyeral years, but lately he has made great im- provement over his former perform- ances, On Wednesday he had a 50-shot for $60, rest, 200 yards. He made the following remarkable record, this last fication that the bass for stocking the ponds in the vicinity of the city will arrive on Saturday, and has made all arrange- ments for their reception. He states that the ducks and doves are pairing, and are more numerous than ever before known. The following named teams will play in the doubles for the Tennis Club champion- ship on April 25: Carroll and Jones, Tay- lor and BStokes, Bailey and Upson and Adams and Smith. The ciub has taken in several new members, and tennis is be- coming more popular in this city than ever before. RUTHERFORD, VIGILANT MERCHANTS. Will Use the Street in Front of the Parrott Building to Test Paving Material. A special meeting of the board of direc- tors was held yesterday for the purpose of arranging the date of the annual meeting of the Merchants’ Association and such other business of importance.

An offer was received from the repre- sentatives of the new Parrott building al- lowing the Merchants’ Association to make an experiment in the materials best adapted for paving the vportion of the street in front of the new Parrott building. It was decided by the board to accept the offer and to make the exneriment with turee kinds of pavement materials. All parties interested are invited to suggest materials. ————— Black, pink and yellow pearls are more valvable than white. STATE MINERS | SEE NEW DANGER Fear the River and Harbor Bill Averse to Their Interest. DAMS, NOT BARRIERS. Ingeniously Worded Amendments That May Defeat Their Aims, THE DE GUEGUERRE POINT DAM Julian Sonntag Says Further Litiga. tion May Be Resorted To by the Miners, The California Miners’ Association is now watching with the deepest concern its fayorite Congreszional bill on hydraulic mining, which is at present eyrating through the halls and corridors of the National Legislature at Washington. The bill itself, as originally introduced, carries with it so much of importance to the miner that each new amendment append- ed to it is considered with the greatest in- terest and caution. Prominent miners hint darkly regarding interests that are trying to make the meas- ure antagonistic to the miner. They fear that in the event of the passage of the river and harbor bill, recently in the hands of the Senate Committee on Commerce, there may be such ingeniously worded amendments as will practically deprive the bill of its advantsge to bydraulic mining. The miners are anxious for the con- struction of restraining dams, not bar- riers. They wish dams built so substan- tially that not only the detritus now gathered in the canyons of the Sierra Ne- vadas shall be restrained from washing down into the rivers, but that provision be made also for the restraining of detritus made by mining. This they have fully demonstrated can be done easily and with little further outlay. In a dispatch from Washington dated April 22 the Senate Committee on Com- merce was quoted as using the following language in connection with this matter: For the construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather rivers, in California, $250,000, such restraining barriers to be constructed under the direction of the Secretary of Werin ac- cordance with the resolutions of the California Debris Commission as contained in executive document No. 16 (H. R.), Fifty-third Congress. second session, pursuant to the provisions of and for the purposes set forth in section 25 of the act of Congress of the United States en- titled “An act to create the California Debris Commission and regulate hydraulic mining in the State of California,” approved March 1, 1893; provided that the Treasurer of the United States be and he is hereby authorized to receive from tne State of California, through the Debris Commissioner of said State, or any other officer thereunto authorized, any and all sums of money that have been or may hereby be appropriated by said State for the purposes herein set forth, and that said sums when so received are hereby appropriated for the pur- poses above named, to be expended in the manner above provided, Regarding this Julian Sonntag, secretary of the Miners’ Association, said yesterday : *‘In reference to the bill now reported by the Senate committee I am somewhat in doubt, from a miner’s standpoint, whether this bill will fully cover the requirements of the miners of this State. This morning I carefully studied the report of the United States engineer, or rather the report of the Debris Commission, and I more par- Japan it has been fought to a standstill. The Peking brings news only a few days later than that brought by the Gaelic. The San Juan has arrived from Central American ports. She brought no passen- gers, but she had a heavy cargo of coffee ifrom way ports. She brings the news that the old Starbuck has_been floated off the rocksat Amapala and is on her way to San Francisco for repairs, The schooner Mary Bidwell got in from Mexico last night. She made a very long trip and was compelled to put into Gaviota for provisions. On Avril 22 in latitude 8547 north, longitude 121.44 west, Louis Forbes, aged 20 years, a native of the Cape Verde Islands, aied of consumption and was buried at sea. The wrecking steamer Whitelaw and wrecked steam schooner Point Arena had a narrow escape last night. In order to get the latter vessel pumped out she was towed around to the North Beach flats. When the tide began to run in both steamers drifted and finally brought upon the seawall. Little damage was done, and finally the Whitelaw and the derelect were towed to Second-street. wharf, where the work of raising the Point Arena went on. ‘While on her way from San ¥rancisco for Yaquina Bay, the steam schooner Farallon went on a rock near Point Gorda and lost a considerable portion of her shoe. The National City went to the assistance of the Farallon, but Captain Robert re- fused help and finally reached Eureka. She will be put on the drydock and will probably be ready to continue her voyage next Monday. Clifford Curry, a Stockton boy, ran away from his home last Thursday and came to San Francisco. Captain Dunleayy of the Harbor Police was notified and’ Clifford was sent home on the steamer last night. He wanted to be a sailor. PAGE GETS JUSTICE. Judge Wallace Sends the Ex-District Attorney to the State Prison for Eight Years. Unless the Supreme Court should step in to prevent, the next few years of James D. Page’s life will be spent behind prison bars. He is the ex-District Attorney, who was convicted of embezzlement for having got away with $4000 of his insane ward’s estate. He was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment by Judge Wallace yesterday. Page, while District Attorney of this City, was appointed guardian of the estate of Louis Lichneker, an insane man, who was then in the asylum, The estate amounted to over $5000, but Page fur- nished bonds for only $200. Some time after his appointment it was found that Lichneker’s estate had dwindled down to a very few hundred dollars, and Page was repeatedly ordered into court to accouut for the money thus missing. He never made answer, but during a lull in the pro- ceedings he had himself removed from the guardianship and started East. A charge ot embezzlement was immediately glaced against him, and he was brought ack and tried. He was found guilty in a very short time. Page’s attorney moved fora new trial before sentence was passed. He argued that the court had erred in instructing the jury; that the information was not accord- ing to legal form, and upon several other technicalities, The motion was promptly denied and sentence was passed after the court had reviewed the crime Page had committed. CAIME D CRIMIRALS Dr. Hirschfelder Speaks of Both at Cooper Medical College. The Lecturer Gives Some Instances of Hereditary Tendency to Evil. Tnough the subject has a gruesome sound, and though the evening was cold, Dr. Hirchfelder found a large and appreoi- ative audience awaiting him as he as- cended the rostrum of the Cooper Medical College to deliver his masterly lecture on “Crime and Criminals.” *0f late we have come to understand that there are individuals who seem to be unable to conform to the general rules of society as we understand it,” commenced the lecturer. “The criminal whom we wish to deal with is not the insane, but the depraved type. Yet it is hard to mark ticularly dwelt upon executive document No. 16, H. R., Fifty-third Congress, second session. “My particular attention was called to the matter contained on page 8, commenc- ing at line 19, of this document, in which the report of ihe committee particularly sets forth the erection of a dam at De Gueguerre Point, Now this point is a mile wide, and will without any doubt whatever take more money than is ap- propriated by Congress and the State of California to build and maintain the dams contemplated. “If the statement contained in a daily paper of an interview with Robert Devlin, the attorney of the Anti-Debris Associ- ation, be correct, that the purpose of the present amended bill is as he states—to the effect that barriers be erected and the detritus be held in check by these bar- riers, and that no hydraulic mining be permitted—it will, I say, compel further legislation on the part of the miners. “The miners, however, and the officers of the Miners’ Association repose full con- fidence in their ability of our representa- tive in Washington, the Hon. Tirey L. Ford. I telegraphed him to-day for fur- ther information on this subject.” ALONG THE WATER FRONT Clever Manner in Which the American Bark Seminole Was Repaired. The Steamer Point Arena and the Wrecker Whitelaw Drifted on the Rocks. The bark Seminole, which arrived from Sydney, N. 8. W., yesterday, with 2158 tons of coal, had a peculiar experience. She sailed on February 18, and two days later Captain Weeden discovered that she was leaking. An examination showed that a butt three feet under the waterline had started, and an effort was made to re- pair the damage. Over fifty tons of the cargo was jettisoned, but the leak could not be reached. Captain Weeden then decided to run for the island of Tongareva. which place he reached on March 25. For a few dollars he hired a couple of pearl-divers, and in less than an hour these men had located the leak and patched the hole up with a piece of lead. The men went down stark naked, and would work under water for a couple of minutes at a time. Had an American diver been used it would proba- bly have cost the ship a couple of hundred dollars. After discbarging the Seminole will go on the drydock for an overhauling. The steamer City of Peking arrived from China and Japan ‘yesterday. There were on‘Ily four cabin passengers—C. P. Troy and H. W. Oliver and two Japanese. In China the plague is still raging, but in the line between insanity and depravity. Irecollect the case of a boy whose father was insane and who in a moment of ill feeling broke his sister’s skull with a ham- mer. This was a case of one on the bor- der-land betwixt insanity and crime. “‘To the normal mind criminal tempta- tions are merely passing thoughts. But there are other forms of minds which dwell upon such thoughts. Little by little the man or woman goes on and on until at last a point is reached when crime be- comes natural. The great massof human beings maybe divided 1nto three categories: First, those who could never become erimi- nals; second, those who are, so to speak, born criminals; and lastly, those who may or mav not develop into criminals. “The heredity criminality is proved beyond all possibility of a doubt. "A cer- tain great criminal in New York has given to the country over 700 descendants, most of whom are thoroughgoing criminals. As a rule the heads of criminals are either pointed or sugar-loaf shaped, or flattened; the cheek-bones high and the chin thrust forward. Generally speaking, there is a sort of family resemblance among crimi- nals of all classes. In the practice of tat- tooing, many criminals seem to rejoice. Sometimes the designs tattooed on the bodies of criminals are religious in charac- ter, though they are often immoral in their nature. “Inability to blush has always been thought an Indication of criminality. Lambroso, by scientitic investigation found that the most powerful emotiona! disturbauces in criminals were caused by cowardice and vanity, not by shame. Sometimes cruelty is a favorite amuse- ment of criminals. Lambroso relates that aman killed his own father in order to gain possession of the family funds; and not finding them, he roasted his mother’s feet over hot coals in order to oblige her to acknowledge where the money was con- cealed. “In London we find that Jonathan Wilde displayed great administrative and executive ability. He had emissaries in court, in church and at the country fairs, Among criminals the perpetrators of great crimes are regarded as aristocrats, so to speak, and as objects deserving of emula- tion. This fact is plainly evinced by criminal statistics in ‘all countries. Also the love of ‘cards and drink is frequently noted among these depraved specimens of the human race. < “Superstition and religion are often met with among criminals, The murderer will sometimes make the sign of the cross with ahand yet moist with his victim’s blood. But these fanatical practices are not to be confounded with the reasonable and well- ordered devotional exercises of law-abiding religionists, since the former use prayer and fasting as a sort of fetish worship, while the latter make use of them as means of refreshing their profound relig- ious sentiment. K *‘Geogravhically speaking, it is curious to note that theft is more common in wealthy countries than in poor ones. England, France and Scotland are the riegut nations, per capita, in Europe; yet in Spain we find one-fourth the thieving that there is in Scotland.” ¢ Facts and figures were cited in great profusion to prove that thc criminal is born rather than made, and that it is bet- ter to cure him if possible than to punish him. The following long and explicit letter from Hon. A. A. Bennett tells its own story. Read it: Mayor's Office, City of St. Charles, Il1., March 4, 1896. ‘Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, Vt.—Gentlemen: I take much pleasurein being able to add my mite to the great mass of testimony in praise of Paine’s celery compound. In November last I found myself much run down by overwork. For several weeks I bad been obliged to work 18 hours daily out of the 24, and was in consequence in a state of physical and nervous exhaustion. At the suggestion of a friend I commenced the use of Paine’s celery compound, with the result that my strength has steadily improved, and I find myself in far better health than I have known for years. I believe also that it has enabled me to escape my periodical attack of rheuma- tism, as every season since that time with the advent of the cold, damp weather I have suffered severely from that disease in a chronic form. 8o far this winger I have escaped without a single twinge of my old enemy. Ivery cheerfuily recommend it to any one in similar need, in the full be. MAYOR OF ST. CHARLES, One of the Thousands Whom Paing’s ~ Gelery Compound Has Cured, \ lief that it will be helpful in every case. Very sincerely yours, A.A. BENNETT.
