THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1896. N the 50’ the Liverpool sailor board- | ing-houses were managed by women. They were all alike. They put up | all sorts of jobs on poor Jack to beat | him out of his hard-earned morey, and when penniless they would force him aboard some outward-bound ship with a curse and a frown. | The only time these women showed any kindness to the sailors who poured money into their laps was when they returned from a long voyage with fat pur: They were then received with open arms and greeted with no end of smiles. There was plenty of butter for their bread and they were treated to the fat of the Jand. Bat this condition of affairs never lasted very long, for as soon as their pocketbooks be- gan to grow lean the smiles on the faces of these landladies turned into frowns and instead of butter one received black looks. | The bark that I was on bad returned to | Liverpool from a voyage that we made to | Odessa, in the Black Sea. Two of us de- cided to leave and ship ‘’round the Horn” for California. There was a month’s wages due ns, which we drew, and went to Mrs. Swanson’s sailor boarding-house, in Kent square. She was recommended s a kind, motherly woman, but we found her no better than the rest of them. | She was a bi, at female with a beery- looking face coarse voice that sounded Her husband a Swedish sailor, who went_to sea in sum- mer and in the winter she kept him home to help around the house. | When Mrs. Swanson learned that we | had but little money there wvas no butter | for our bread and she divided one red her- | ning between two of us. We had been | in her bouse but a few days when we no- | ticed the dark shadows gathering around | her face and it got to be very squally in | the dining-room. “Why don’t you and that Dago go look | for a ship?” she said, with a scream, as she threw the tail end of a herring on to my | plate. “We're waiting for that Yankee ship | that’s loading in the Princess dock for | California,” T answered. “That there ship won’t be ready for a | month yet. I'll ship both of yez on an | East Indiaman to-morrow.” “But we want to go to California and we'll wait for that ship. We've money enough with the advance that we’ll get to square up with you,” said I, not thinking she would do me bodily harm. “Blast yer eyes, y ver?’ and she struck me a blow ! b bher at knocked me senseless, and added, ye blasted spongers, ye've ate up all me butter and me herrin’s, divil blast the bat more ye'll get.” ‘When to-morrow came Antoni went with her willingly and she shipped us in her East Indiaman. She did more, she drew our advznce notes, cashed ‘em and put the money in her own pocket. | “My chum and I are about to leave | Englana for a long voyage, Mrs. Swan- | son.” I said, mustering up a little courage, | “and you know there are many things which we need.” She hesitated a moment, then said: “Come with me to Rosinshine’s. He keeps a pawnshop over there in Vauxhall road and I'll fix yez.”” She hustled us to the store and told Mr. Rosinshine to give that there Irish lad a suit of oilskins and a sou’wester, one hook pot, plate, pannikin and spoon (all tin), two bars brown soap, one straw mattress,; cne box Holloway's | pilis and one small tin hog’s lard to grease | his sea boots. ‘““And that Dago there,” | she added, turning to my chum, “you’d better give him a second-hand knife and belt, one pair woolen m pair stockings and '3 shillings’ twist (tobacco).” Antonio_tried to persuade Rosinshine | in broken English to give him some more things, but the pawnshop man would not listen. “You gets no more,’’ hesaid. “Mrs. Swanshin she pays for dese things; if yo want to do any growling growl mit her.” Well the next day found us on board the Black Eagle. She was a large full rigged ship, painted black all around on the outside, and the pant on her inside bulwarks looked like the color of a quaran- tine flag. Her decks were fresh from the rudder head tothe hawsepipes and Inoticed two barness casks, one mariced beef the other pork, lashed to the deck abaft the mainmast and close to the pumps, the journals of which looked rusty, a sure sign that she was tight. She carried a main skysail to'gallant stu’nsails and single patent reeied topsails. Her sails, standing, rigging and running gear wera made of hemp even to the earings and sighal halyards. The top of the binnacle and the head of the main deck capstan were the only brass work visible. Passing by the galley door I saw the cook inside preparing pea soup. He had his greasy shirtsleeves rolled up above the elbows and he was very dirty looking. The hair on his face and head, and there was plenty of it, resembled the stiff and sticky sur- face of a manila doormat on a rainy and I s, tw0 worth of d-{. t was while swabbing up the qua rter- deck next morning that 1 heard Captain Bassett, her commander, give orders to the chief mate, and though small in stature, I guessed that he imagined him- self much bigzer than the mainmast, and he soon gave all on board to understand that he was much taller than he looked. He was a fine sailor, felt at home on the quarterdeck, and in the tropics hedressed in pure white. There were thirty of us be- fore the mast, most of whom were natives of the British Isles, and all were good shanty singers. No barm befell us on the outward trip, though we encountered the usual gales, squalls, calms, frosty and sunny weather. Everything ‘“‘went merry as a marriage bell,” and everybody on beard was happy. Afterleaving Bombay, homeward bound, we picked up a norther that sent us flving down the Arabian Sea and out into the Indian Ocean, where we ran right into the teeth of a typhoon which threw the ship over on her beam ends and held her there for many hours, while the big green waves tossed her about and broke clean over us. ‘‘Let go those lee-topsail sheets!” roared Bassett, as she careened over to port; but before we could man the clewlines all three of the sails had split, the wind tore the canvas from the bolt ropes and, like Holmes’ Sunday breeches, they ‘‘went fly- ing through the air as if the devil had been in them.” ‘We hung onto our masts, for no sooner had the captain given orders to cut away the weather topgallant and topmast back- stays than he countermanded them. Other sails were bent, and by the next afternoon the Black Eagle wss again working her way toward the Cape of Good Hope against 2 head wind and a rough sea. A couple of weeks later we passed the Isle of France, and about eight bells on 1 | sail, reeling off about thirteen knots. { escaped being washed off by the same ve'll want a fit out, won’t l the following morning Antonio was struck by ave on the bowsprit and knocked to lee: into the seething foam. The wind, which was a little abaft the beam, had increased to half a gale, and the sea, now turned into great big ridges, was full of whitecaps, while the Black Eagie | was bowling along under a maintopgaliant “Man overboard to lu’ard! man board to lu’ard!” roared a man over- who wave. This cry brought up_ the waten below, while those on deck rushed to the rail just as he rose to the surface abaft the fore- rigging.

Just then a | great big wave broke over him, and a little later he reached the chair, for we saw him clutch it. All hands were set to work to reduce sail. Halyards and sheets were let go by the run so as to enable us to bring her | humor for which he is not consciously re- sponsible. The only man in the House who is truly a humorist—who can make a speech of an hour’s duration and have both sides laughing continuously without wounding the sensibilities of any one—is Private John Allen of Mississippi. _Allen has not been heard this session. His ac- curate estimate of his own capacity leads him to exercise a nice discrimination as to time and place. He probably speaks less often than any other man in the House, but when he does he has the entire House for an audience, and business is suspended until he resumes his seat.—Washington Post. A e Strong Men of Ancient Greece. The mythopoetic fancy of the Greeks attributed many feats of strength to these heavy athletes. Milo of Croton had such strength in his hands and wrists that no one could move his little finger. He could hold a pomegranate uninjured in his hand | while his antagonist endeavored to wrest | it from his grasp.

It is Joachim!”’ he exclaimed enthusiastically. “Ysaye is the only one of the younger violinists whora I consiaer really great. He can play modern and romantic_music, but he can- not interpret the classics as Joachim can. Ab, Joachim is truly great. To be a great violinist one must not give only a mere superficial inerpretation; one must be an artist. Now, Ysaye gives you an inter- pretation which means something. - 1t may not be right or according to the com- po:_er’s xn;emions_ but it _is always inter- esting and means something.” When asked what he &ougbtpf On- dricek, Rivarde remarked that his tech- nique might be improved, and that as for his 1interpretation it is always flavored with tartar sauce, and one does not want tartar sauce on everything one eats.” Rivarde and Ysaye are old friends. There are twelve years difference in their ages, but seven or eight years ago they lived a jolly careless life in the Quartier Latin in’ Paris, together with a pack of other fidalers, journalists and literary men, who have nearly all become famous. ‘‘We were all as poor as Job,” said Rivarde; “one day they would come to us fora meal and another we would go to them for the same purpose. My father thought T was living too rakish a life and |came over from America, paid my debts | and took me away to another part of Paris, but [ sneaked round and saw the old friends sometimes, till gradually the clique broke up, some drifting one” way and some another. Ysayiand I meetnow once a years or so, and recail old times.” Speaking of musicians and heads ot hair, Rivarde remarked cheerfully : ““When | a violinist pecomes bald, he may as well | retire. He carnot play without "a fiddle and he cannot please the public without a bushy head of hair. At present Pader- ewski has made yellow locks the fashion. | I think sometimes that the next musician | who makes a really great sensation will have dyed his hair green or blue—people would rave over the novelty."” THERE Is NO FUSION. Rival Water Companies Deny That They Are Trying to Absorb Each Other. OAKLAND, Car, April 25.—The war between the two water companiesis no less bitter than it was a year ago.

N1 KEARNEY. FUN IN CONGRESS. The Only True Humorist Is Private John Allen of Mississippl. ‘While the House membership embraces 2 number of men who by courtesy might be designated as humorists, because they are so attuned by nature as to cause their | colleagues amusement by what they say |or how they say it, the fact remains that, with one solitary exception, the House has no humorist in the true sense of the word. There is Johnson of Califor- | nia, who bade fair to drape himself in that honor, but he expimdpafur be haa delivered one speech and has since sunk | to the stage of a mere wit. Mr. Gros- yenoris a witand says some remarkably bright things at times, but the inevitable flavor of sarcasm which tinctures his sal- lies rules him out as a humorist. Reed belongs to the same catagory, and while he often makes the House laugh—or rather did make the House laugh before the Presidential bee buzzed in his bonnet—his witticisms are always at the expense of somebody’s feelings.” Dolliver of owa, in this sense, is amusing at times, but gener- ally there is a taint of rancor in what hLe says, also, which gives his humor a par- tisan flavor. Gibson is humorous uncon- sciously. He never means to be and he doesn’t realize it, and the delight he occa- MUST HAVE LOG Achille Rivarde’s Idea of One of the Attributes of a Violinist. A Serenade to the Great Spanish Musician at His Hotel Last Night. There was a sound of revelry last night at the Baldwin Hotel just about the time the guests were retiring. Péop]e heurd the strains of *‘Hail to the Chief” wafted in no uncertain tones up the stairs, and this was followed by prolonged applause and the sound of many voices. “What's the matter?” asked the guests anxiousiy of the bellboys, thinking that a circus had broken loose 1n the rotunda. But the bellboys reassured them by stat- ing that what they heard wasa serenade given by a number of local musician s to young Achille Rivarde, a distinguished violinist who had just arrived from the East. The applause was when Rivarde ap- peared on the stairs and in eloquent French thanked his fellow - musicians for their music and invited them to adjourn with him to the cafe and their refresh the inner man at his expense. leaped into sudden fame during the last year or two. He 1sonly 27 years of age and has already played” as solo violinist with such conductors as Nikirch, Lamou- roux and Seidl. In appearance he is al- most as picturesque as Paderewski, but in quite a different style of beauty. Rivarde is tull, slim and dark, with what novelists would describe as *liquia’” dark eyes, and he possesses ebony locks of a length and luxuriance which Samson might have envied. When asked what school he belonged to the young musician remarked decidedly: “None; I'am a school to myself. Vieux- temps was my master and 1 had about six months’ lessons from Wieniawski, but I do not believe in belonging to any set school.” As it is a well-known fact_that Rivarde took a leading prize at the Paris Conservatory he was asked whether Mar- sick had also given him lessons. “Did Marsick say I was his _pupil 2"’ de- manded the fiery young violinist fairly bounding in his chair, while his eyes flashed with indignation. “No? AR, i thought he would not presume to say that,”” and Rivarde sank back with a silent air, adding not unkindly: “Mar- sions is -not intelligently controlled. Bulzer is somewhat in the same class, but his youth and the great- ness that has been thrust upon him are to blame for that. Like Mr. Quigg of his State he will outgrow the sick has not much techaique, but he really produces a sweet tone. He has deteriorated a great deal, for you see, poor fellow, he married and settled down to teaching, but at one time he could piay really very well.” It seems that Rivarde has two intense Rivarde 1s a young musician who has | each is doing all it can to get all possible business. The story that we are com- bining with the Contra Costa company regarding the fixing of rates is also totally untrue. Except in a few instances our company is getting a fair price for its water. In meny cases we bave made three years’ contracts with our consumers, and we are hound by them. If the two companies combined, we should still have to continue our contracts. *Our plant is new and powerful and capable of supplying a city twice the size of Oakland. Itisa fight to a finsh and we will not combine in any way, upon any basis, or accept any proposition coming from the shareowners of the Contra Costa Water Company, and as the particular rumor put in circulation to-day is that we are to enter into an agreement, like the telegraph companies, where rates are kept up, permit me to say that there is abso- lutely nothing in it. We will not consent to it now or ever.” . e e PUPILS' RECITAL. Amateur Violin! Give a Pleasing Con- cert to a harge Audience. OAKLAND, Car., April 25.—The chapel of the First Congregational Church was crowded last night to hear a fine pro- gramme rendered by amateur violinists. They were all pupils of Alexander T. Stewart, the leader of the famous Congre- gational orchestra of this city. The par- ticipants were Miss 'Bessie Edelen, Miss Gertrude Hibberd, Miss Hattie Hugeins, Miss Martha Snow, August Benzon and C. Laton Hooper. The following programme was exceed- ingly well rendered: Sonata in A major (Handel), Miss Edelen and Mr. King; romanze (Jean Becker), Miss Hug- gins, Miss Walton accompanist; SONEs (mss.): (a) “Rose and Heart,” (b) “Heart’s Desire” (John W. Metcali), Mr. Thornton, Miss Capeli accompanist; menuet_in D (Charles N. Allen), Miss Snow, Mrs. Whitman _accompanist; Walther's Prieslicd (Wagner-Wilhelm)), Mr. Benzon, Mr. King accompanist; song, “The Fountain” (Stephen Adam), Mr. Tnornton, Miss Capell accompanist; romance, (Svendsen), Miss Hibberd, Miss Jenkins secompanist; in troduction and polonaise (Allen), Mr. Hooper, Mr. Weil, accompanist. ——————— MAY BE INVITED. Belief That It Would Result in Good to Act as Host. OAKLAND, Car., April 25.—It has been suggested that the Mayor, City Council, the Board of Trade and the Merchants’ Exchange unite in inviting the hotel men to pay this city a visit before they return East.” Such a”combination, with a strong committee from the real estate men could entertain the visitors in such a royal style that they would never forget their visit to the ““Athens of the Pacific.” ——————— Bouvier Retires. OAKLAND, Cav., April 25.—The part- nership heretofore existing between Al- fred Bouvier and John J. Sesnon in the lease of the Macdonough Theater has been dissolved, the former retiring. Mr. Ses- non will remain the sole lessee. The man- agement wifl remain as before—in the hands of Charles E. Cook, the present very popular manager. UNIVERSALITY OF BEING The Philosophy of Theosophy Explained by One Who Has Learned It. NOTHING IS OR WAS CREATED, Matter Is Revealed Spirit, Spirit Is Matter Unrevealed, an . Axiom of the Faith. The philosophy of theosophy includes all there is to know and tote. To the student of theosophy there may be un- known things, but there are no unknown reaims of existence. His philosophy 1s also the science of sciences, because it teaches understand- ingly the why, the purpose and the ului- mate of all existences. The basic prin- ciple of this science and philosophy is recognition of the unerring operation of the law of cause and effect as witnessed in the processes of evolution and involution, but the student must demonstrate for himself that the law of cause and effect is unerring in its operation. Theosophy denies that there was a ‘‘be- giuning” or that there will be an “‘ending’’ of anything animate or inanimate, so called. Thatis to say, not anything was created, but by the spontaneity of action by and through the operation of universal life—life that creates not anything, but adjusts all things to the process of unfold- ment according to the law of sympathetic attraction—Brahm, or the impersonal cause, is manifested 1n matter, which isan attribute of himself. Hence, ‘“spirit is unrevealed matter, and matter is revealed spirit.” This is logically true, because creation would necessitate a creator and material separate from himself out of which to create, and this in turn would oblige the adoption of a hypothesis that the creator and the material were coexigtent, since even a creator could not make something out of nothing; and, moreover, the admission that anything could be destroyed would drive one to ad- mit that the thing that could be destroyed was separate and apart from universal lifs and independent of the sustaining power of nature. That proposition is logically un- tenable, for if God is in and through al! things nothing could be destroyed without circumscribing God’s omnipresence, and that would subject the Almighty to the caprice of destructible materiality. Scien- tifically speaking, the most minute atom is as necessary to the existence of God as God is necessary to the existence of the atom, and, hence, if one were to go into nothingness the other would have to go also. Theosophy holdssteadfast tothescientific truth of the universality of being and the inter dependence of all things. It is this that Paul had in mind when he wrote to the Romans that ““None of usliveth to himseif, and no man dieth to himself.” The esoteric meaning of Paul’s doctrine of predestination is entirely in harmony with the philosophy of theosophy—a philosophy that had been taught all over Asia for ages before Paul’s day and generation. The doctrine of the oneness or solidarity and the interdependence of all things is, in fact, the substructure of practically all religious faiths and beliefs. Ice water and steam are one in substance but in widely different form. To illustrate: Ice is thor- oughly inert matter. By the process of transformation or unfoldment it becomes water, then steam, then superheated E m, and then ether, which is that in- ible substance that fills the interplane- tary system. Ifsciencecan converticeinto ether, why cannot science transform ether by the reveise process into ice? Theosophy says it can be and is done by those who are masters of the forcesof nature, and, moreover, the philosophy of theosophy teaches by logical reasoning and by demonstration that such mastership lies votentially in every entity in the universal whole. In man the individualized life principle has reached a state of spiritual unfold- ment, which removes him very far from the baciilus, for he has power to reason and to understand, but while it is a most sublime point on the upward journey trom Cosmos to Nirvana it isalso crowded to the full with responsibility. It is a sublime state of existence when considered in the light of individual possibilities, but it is fearful when one sees and understands in the presence of God in manifestation as shown in the complete oneness of all things and in the universality of being, that individual independence and the in- terdependence of all entities require of every man that he be in some measure his brother’s keeper, and also be responsible in some degree for whatever of woe befalls his brother. His brother is every human being. The law of universality of being makes a re- lationship to exist between all things, high and low, animate and inanimate, with certain tasks for each to complete, and to willfully make the task of a single thing harder to do is to defy the power of the universe and invite the wrath of the source and maintainer of being. It is sublime to love truth and righteous- ness with ail the heart and mind and soul, and to love one’s neighbor sincerely and unselfishly. To do thisis to live accord- ing to the philosophy of theosophy. Without the doctrine of Karma and Reincarnation there would be no theo- sophical students, for unless a given effect may be traced to the cause, and an expla- nation demanded of cause why it itself existe, and why such an effect is” produced by it, nothing is left to him but biind faith in this or that dogma or creed. But the theosophical student sees that some of the entities which compose the universal whole possess active consciousness while others apparently possess none at ail, and then he discovers (Emrem degrees of con- sciousness according as entities approach man’sestate, and finally when he asks him- self if it is an exhibition of the caprice or likes or dislikes of a supreme intelligence that he sees in the various degrees of consciousness, or is it all the result of natural law making through environment | by evolutionary processes, he is certain to reject the idea of chance or caprice and attribute the difference in the degree of consciousness in a capable man and an animal of the forest to unfoldment, and ;hadnext step is to inquire what it is un- olds. This fetches .him face to face with the philosophy of monadology, where he finds the root of existence to be in reincarnation, and in Karma he finds soil in _which the ego plants causes and gathers effects. The student then, without stopping to unravel the mysteries of cosmogony, finds that the bowlder in the darkness of the mountain’s cavern is a manifestation of supreme energy, and that potentially it is the highest individualized intelligence, but that it does not know it, nor anything else. He then goes to the tree and finds that it knows how to prepare itself for the changing seasons and that it also knows how to provide for reproducing its kind, but it does not know how -or why it does these things. He then talks with the ani- mal in the forest and finds that it does all that the tree does, and in addition has the wer of locomotion and perceptivity; and 1t also possesses instinct which impels and restrains, but he sees that it cannot under- stand why it is upon a broader and higher plare of existence than the bowlder and the tree. The student then analyzes man and finds that he does all that the tree does and all that the animal does. Moreover, and in the animal, but he finds that man knows and knows why and how he knows. Then the student is awakened to the sublime truth that the ego he found in the bow!der and in the tree and in the animal and in the man are the same in poten- tiality. In tracing the course of the ego from’ the bowlder to man he saw the philosophy of reincarnation exemplified, and in the great diversity of states and conditions of mankind he saw how 1t is that as one sows he shall surely resg. The student also found that what he called the ‘supreme energy’’ and its man- ipulations are one and indivisible; that the supreme energy is the clay, the potter and the product, and that I and the Father are one’’ means the universality of being and the interdependence of all things. What is called death, therefore, brings no terror to_the student of theoso- phy, for he says with the Hindoo sagi: *'I died from the tree and reappeared an ani- mal; I died from the animal and became a man; wherefore, then, need I fear to die when I never became less by dying?” The religious belief of the theosophist tells him that he must look within him- self for deliverance from evil and for salva- tion. He denies utterly that man or God can save him from the consequence of the errors of bis ways. He is his own savior. His ego is in a transitional state from the lowest to the highest degree of spiritual unfoldment, and it is _his right and his duty to live a better life to-day than he did yesterday, but _for sins committed, be they sins of omission or sins of commis- sion, there is no forgiveness whatever. He must himself not only atone for his own evil acts, but he must atone for the barmful influences they exert upon others. There is no escape from a corresponding effect of every cause, and since an evil thought may find lodgment ina mind that only needs added strength to stimulate it to commit sin, one is just as responsible for the silent working of his mind as he is for the oven acts of his body. The philosophy of thedsophy teaches | the student that bis standard of conduct of life should be placed at his highest ideal of existence, and that as he advances thitherward he should earnestly and sin- cerely encourage clearer, purer and loftier aspirations as the days come and wzo. If he shall do that he will go from streni:th to strength in right purpose continually. His ideal existence will grow more real and the loftier attributes of universal life wili come in upon him as his lawful birth- right, which they are, but which are held | back by the law of ethical causation until he is wortnhy of them. And so it is. The journey of a man’s life reaches across a field from impersonal Brahm to personal Godhood. }1, after each harvest, he goes forward in the path of right conduct, sowing only good seed, his harveste shall be increasing sheaves of golden grain, and the rays of the Sun of Eternal Life will make brighter and brighter the furrows of the field of his journey and divine love and tenderness will lighten the burden of duty. Who toiled a slave may come anew a Prince, For gentle worthiness and merit won; Who ruled a King may wacder earth in rage For things done and undone. Higher than Indra’s ye may lift your lot, And sink it lower than worm or gnat; ‘The end of many myriad lives in this, The end of myriads that. Ye are not bound! The Soul of Things is sweet, ‘The Heart of Being 1s celestial rest; Stronger than woe 13 will; that which' was Good Doth pass to Better— Best. Ho! ye who suffer! Know Ye suffer from yourselves. ABMOND, JURY BRIBERY. Ex - Saloon - Keeper Harry Inwall’s Actions Belng Investigated. OAKLAND, CaL., April 25.—The indict- ment of Robert McDonald on the charge of offering a bribe to Juror 0. M. Peck in the Ah Yuen lottery case has caused a sensation about town, and more indict- ments are expected before the jury finishes its work. Among those whose names have been mentioned within the Grand Jury room is that of Harry Inwall, an ex- saloon-keeper. It is known that he sat by Attorney Garrity during the impaneling of the jury, and that the left the courtroom with Me- Donald. The two then went to the Newell House saloon, after which McDonald went direet to Peck. When he left there he met Inwall, and they went to a house on Seventh street, above Broadway. Inwall denies that he did anything more than to act as a friend to the Chinaman in securing bonds for him, or that he ever spoke to McDonald about the case more than in a general way. BOTH ARE HERE. — Price and Miss Lynde Deny Their Re- ported Elopement. OAKLAND, Cal., April 25.—Arthur G. Price is about town to-day being kept busy explaining that he had not eloped and never intended doing such a thing. “My wife and I separated some time since,” said he, ‘because we decided we cculd not be happy together. Her state- ments are false regarding me, but I do not care to say anything about her. She has too much of a temper.” Miss Mattie Lynde is also at home and | is surprised that the fact that she expects soon 10 go to Washington should have caused such stories to be set adrift. Her brother, Fred Lvnde, denies that he went to the Pullman House looking for her. e The May Quill Bribery. BERKELEY, CaL., April 25.—Dr. W. 8. Barier, the spiritualist medium who was said to have been offered a bribe by Southern Pacific officials to give false tes- timony before the Coroner in the case of May Quill, denies that such overtures were made to him as has been stated. May Quill was killed near Ashby avenue last February by a Southern Pacific train and Dr. Barker was one of the witnesses examined by the Coroner’s jury which viewed her remains. The verdict arrived atexonerated the trainmen frou all blame.
