He Has a Plan That May Save the Institu- | tion. | OCCUPY ANOTHER BUILDING. He Says Trat This Must Be Donei Before the Academy Can Be Prosperous. | The California Academy of Sciences may be compelled to close its doors for want of money to carry on its work. A few weeks ago President David Starr | | academy would get no credit after they | were sent out. MAY CLOSE ITS DOORS an urgent need that some of the manu- scripts on hand be published at once, and | unless the money is forthcoming the au- thors will have to send them elsewhere, { which would be an everlasting disgrace to | the State of California. Nearly all of the | manuscripts on hand are of the greatest “Proceedinzs’” of the academy, as they bear directly on California, although being of the greatest interest to the scientific world. It istwo years since any vely important field work has been done by the academy. In the meantime numerous important facts have been called to the attention of the faculty and the curators are only wait- inz for the money so that they can go out and investigate them. This work is just that much behind the same branch being done in other parts of the world, so that there is a great deal to be done before the academy can catch up. 1f money 1is not | provided for this work very soon it can never be done at all, because it will be hard for the workers to keep up their in- | terest, and the accounts of the expedition will be such back number works that the As things stand, it looks as if the cura- tors will have to continue their labors at | the academy without pay until something turns up or somebody makes a donation. keep his wife from getting the alimony awarded to her by the court. “The order and application to show cause why he should not be committed to the County Jail until he transferred the as- signed notes to the receiver was argued on the 5th of May. On the 13th an order was made for White to turn over the notes and mortgages to the receiver. We have given him eigbteen days in which to comply with the order of the court, and unless he takes the fleeting moments by the forelock ne will be delivered to the Sheriff to-mor- mow morning at about 10 o’clock.” SHE SHOT HERSELF. Mrs. Jacob Wehrle Says She Was Tired of Working for Her Husband. Elsie Wehrle, wife of Jacob Wehrle, car- penter and house agent, 379 Natoma street, shot herself in the chest last night and the wound will probably prove fatal. ‘Wehrle left home at 7 o’clock last night and returned about 10. He found the front and rear doors locked, so he gota stepladder and climbed through one of the windows. He found his wife on the floor of one of the rooms with blood oozing from a wound in her chest.

She years The Academy of Sciences Building That May Have to Be Sold to Enable the In- stitution to Carry on Its Work. Jordan in open meetif& made an appeal to the members to raise money so the insti- | t continue on its career of use- fulness. He pointed to the fact that it was about time to send ont some expeditions, and that there were also several manu- scripts aw 1g publication. He further stated that the finances of the academy | were about down to bedrock. A number | of bills were due and there was no money | to pay them. In fact, there did not seem to be enough money to enable the different | curators to bny such material as they | needed. President Jordan made a per- | sonal appeal to the wealthy members yresent to donate enough to tide over the hard times. He also asked the others to | do what they could to help the inatitution along. It was thought, of course, that President Jordan’s remarks would have some weight and that there would be a littie money in | by the first of this month. Some of the curators went ahead with their prepara- tions for expeditions, expecting to be in | the field by this time, but the first of the | month hascome and there is not a dollar | in sight. | The outlook at present is most dubious. | The different curators have nothing to do and are seemingly trying to kill time. Itis too late now to consider the mis- takes or mismanagement that nas led to such a disastrous state of affairs. The simple fact remains that the academy needs money, and there ought to be enough wealthy men in this City to come in the hour of need.

There are, of course, seyeral “funds” in the academy s, like the Pierce fund of $5000, which was given for the exclusive purchase of | present stringency. R W. 8. Keyes, the financial trustee of | CaLL representative at the Union Club yesterday afternoon. Mr. Keyes was at first reluctant to talk about the subject, declaring thatany mention of it at the pres- ent time was premature and that, perhaps, things could be arranged satisfactorily without any great trouble; but he made no effort to deny that the academy’s af- fairs were in a very serious condition. “The trouble is,” said Mr. Keyes, ‘‘that the academy has been spending its money | in taxes. The Lick Trust paid them hereto- this year it left them short. That’sall there is about it. The affairs of the acad- emy are straight and no doubt we can mianage to fix things up. “My planis, I think, the only one out of the trouble. That is to sell that big building on Market street, if we can, or rent it, so that it will bring in an income. The academy can then procure a building in some part of town where land is worth less than $3000 a front foot that would answer the purpose much better, and at such a price as would leave a large sum for expeditions, publications and experi- ments. Whether this can be done or not | depends altogether on the action of the | board. Iintend tolay my plan before it at the next meeting, in about four weeks, | and 1 think it will be adopted. “Ihave studied out the matter care- that the academy is really paying $1000 a month rent, for it could get that much for the building it now occupies, and then buy or rent one within its income. “What will be done if the board rejects my plan is more than [ can say. We will | have to devise some other plan, I guess. | There isonly about $14,000 in sight that | we may get before the end of the year. That is really not any mere than is needed | for the business end of the institution, if indeed it is enough. In the meantime the creditors will have to get along on mighty short rations, if they get any rations at all, until we can get things fixed up. *No, I don’t think there will be any money for publications or expeditions. The expeditions must wait, and Eisen, Loomis and the rest of them will have to sena their manuscripts East if they won’t keep until we are prepared to handle them.” CATTLE KING IN PERIL. George White May Likely Be Sent to Jail This Morning. Judge Hebbard will be asked to sign an order committing Cattle-king White of Mendocino County to jail this morning. The proceeding is an outgrowth and a part of the celebrated divorce suit of his wife in which she won her case and $109,- 000, the latter not yec being paid. “In 1894, just abouttne time the receiver was appointed,” said Mrs. White’s attor- ney, Walter Linforth, last night, “White’ assigned three notessecured by mortgages one for $2000, another for $300 and a third fer $3000.

Judge FSeawell’s Ruling Regarding Sidewalk Nuisances. The Superintendent of Streets can re- move lightpoles erected along Market street by the Mutual Electric Light Com- pany, for Judge Seawell has refused to grant an injunction restraining him from doing so. The company was granted permission to lay conduits on Market street, between Kearny and Grant avenue. The permis- sion carried with it the right to connect the conduits with business blocks on either side of the street, but the company went further and put up lampposts. Superin- tendent Ashworth ordered the removal of the posts, and the company obtained a temporary restraining order. The order was dissolved yesterday, Judge Seawell rufing that anytbing which unlawfully obstructs the free passage of pedestrians is a nuisance and the Saperintendent of Streets may remove it. The Board of Su- pervisors may allow poles to be erected for the purpose of lighting the streets, but it can be allowed. He found no such right had been granted in the case at bar, and <o refused to enjointhe Superintendent of Streets. —— THE BUILDING TRADES. The Position of the Shinglers’ Union a Troublesome Question. The unions of the Building Trades Coun- cil are having considerable trouble over the question whether or not the Shinglers’ Union shall be recognized as a union. As a fact, this union was formed by the or- ganizing committee of the council, which invited the new organization to send dele- ing by the Two Devoted Lovers. | TR | The simultaneous disappearance of two | the vicinity of | Fourth and Bryant streets has set the| gossiping tongues of the neighborhood | | busy relating the particulars of a sup-| posed elopement. On Friday last Stoker McAuliffe of fire engine 10, on Bryant street, near Third— a brother of Joe McAuiiffe, the pugilist— | mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind | him a wife and two young children. | He | had evidently been contemplating his de- parture beforehand, for he had sent in his { resignation to the Fire Department a few | days before. Itis also said that he has kept his salary for the last two months, | not giving anything to his wife. It is further rumored that before leaving he laid in an extensive supply of wearing | apparel, as if he intended to leave for | good. Nobody in the neighborhood yesterday knew anything about the ex-fireman's | present whereabouts. His wife was bus, superintending the removal of her furn response to a query as to her husband’s whereabouts curtly answered that she knew nothing more than that he had gone away last Friday. Miss Lizzie Thomson, who lived with her parentson Freelon street, near Fouith, and whose name the south-side gossips have connectea with the disappearance of | McAuliffe, also left her home last Friday. Miss Thomson, who is a handsome blonde about 20 years of age, was the youngest of the family and a general favorite. Her | mother and married sister, when seen yes- gone off with McAuliffe. ‘It is true that Lizzie has gone off and been married,” said Mrs. Thomson. ““‘She has been keeping company with a young man from Denver, but we didn’t think anything of it beause she had so many gentlemen friends. “Evidently her attachment for this young man from Denver was stronger than we thought. She had known him for tour or five years, baving become ac- quainted with him while she was working as saleswoman in one of the uptown stores where he was bookkeeper. He was a verv uiet, gentlemanly fellow, but I suppose izzie thought I would oppose her marry- ing him because they were of different re- ligions. At any ratesshe went off with him, leaving the following note, dated Friaay evening: ‘I know this1s a terrible blow, but don’t think of it—it will all pass | over. I have eloped with a young man 1 am in love with. I will writein a day or two.’ “From a bosom friend of Lizzie's we have learned that she is now spending her honeymoon at Fresno. She will be iack at the end of the week and her husband then intends to go into business at Los Angeles. “It is outrageous to suppose that my | daughter has gone off with McAuliffe. ‘Why would a pretty, accomplished young girl” want to run off with a man who has a wife and children? No. my girl isn’t that kind. She and her husband—nis first name is Ray, but I can’t recall his last name—will be back by the end of the week, and we will be glad to have her back with us again.” -— e A NOVEL (XCURSION. Will Stop at Points of Interest in So- noma Valley. There will be a grand family excursion and onting in Sonoma Valley next Sun- day, which will be novel in several re- spects. The train will be chartered by J. E. Locke and will be run to give its pa- trons a fine trip. There will be a stop of an hour at the old town of Sonoma to in- spect the historical adobe buildings, a wait of two hours will be made at Agua Caliente Springs, where the baths may be enjoyed, and then Glen Ellen will be visited and nearly four hours’ stay will be given. All those who obtain their tickets on or before Saturday evening may secure reserved seats in special cars without extra charge. The party will leave on the 7:30 A. M. Tiburon ferry, where unreserved- seat tickets will be “provided. Mr. Locke will be assisted by a number of gentlemen in conducting the excursion, which is ar- ranged for people who enjoy a quiet, re- spectable, genteel outing.

H. Post and Mrs, Elizabeth Stone, first started across the stormy sea of life. Mrs. Post is the oldest of the trio, hav- ing passed the eighty-ninth milestone of her existence in the flesh. Mrs. Stone The voungest of the three, Mrs. Parrish, who gives the party, has had her hair whitened by the snows of eighty-two winters and her features softened and lighted up by as many summers, But this is not all—there are going to be some others of the old iadies’ female friends present to rejoice with them at the happy state in whici: they find themselves after 80 many years of usefulness. These friends are themselves vears past the allotted age of man. For instance there will be_present Mrs. Herring, aged 83; Mrs. Vero, aged 76; Mrs, Susanna Cowden, aged 76, and Mrs. E. L. York, Mrs. M. L. Churchill, Mrs. Kenney and Mrs. Nash, all over 70 years of age. Nor does this end the list of wonderful things. Some articles are to brought forth for this particular occasion that Mrs. Par- rish has treasured up for many years for just such an occasion. Rare and costly are they and one, ia which the motherly old lady takes a articular pride, is the table cover. Yf it could only speak it could tell of affairs that hap- pened many years ago itself. That table- cover is just fifty years old, is of rare and costly design and has never been brought forth before except as an exhibit to a few particular friends. % The teacups from which the old ladies will drink their tea are band-painted and are over 250 yearsold. They were brougnt over from England many, many years ago and are highly valued heirlooms. And then there is tt:e cake basket, also the property of Mrs. Parrish. It was brought over from Amsterdam in 1640 by Peter Claussen, her great-grandfather. Mrs. Parrish was born in Alleghany, Pa., in 1814, just when the War of 1812 was drawing to a close. Though 82 years of age she is to-day in perfect health, and her mental faculties are as keen as ever. Not only does she keep herself informed on current events, but she keeps herself in- formed on so many that she might almost be termed a walking encyclopedi: Her life has also been filled with excit- ing experiences. Once she was ship- wrecked off the Oregon coast, and after floating four days and nights on a mat- ress was picked up by a passing schooner. Her progeny are nnmerous. To-day she has twenty-three great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. In 1873 she wrote numerous articles, all of which were publiched in THE CALL. In belief she is a free-thinker, and accepts the spiritualistic cult. Her writien produc- tions have dealt with ner beliefs in a limited way. At presentshe is engaged in compiling " two books, one on autobio- graphy and the other dealing with the laws of heredity. On the walls of her apartments are to be seen many quaint and valuabie pictures. The counterpane on her bed is silken, and came inio her possession sixty-five years ago, one year after she donned the bridai costume. . The festivities will begin this afternoon at 3.0'clock, and will consist of banquet- ing, tea-drinking and recounting the reminiscences of bygone days. Among the invited guests are: Mrs. M. E. Fair, Mrs. A. E. Kidd, Mrs. F. M. Sulley, Mrs. Lucy Mellor, Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon, Mrs. Wenzell, Mrs. Frances Treadwell, Miss Lobise Sebey, Mrs. W. L. Owen, Mrs. Jud- son Wheeler, Mrs. L. D.

A mass meeting of all the members of the carpenters’ unions will be held standing of the Shinglers’ Union in labor cireles. The District Council proposes to fine all carpenters §5 who do not attend the meeting.

THE UBUTOLS AGENT, Enterprising Business Methods of a Most Engaging Young Man. Convents and Charitable Institutions S:em to Be His Chosen Har- vest-Fie d. Charitable institutions and convents are said to be in dancer at the hands of a swindler who describes himself as agent for a forthcoming publication to be called “The Illustrated Institutions of Califor- nia.” His latest victim is a Franciscan father at the Watsonville Orphan Asylum, where the Catholic male orphans of the diocese. of Monterey and Los Angeles are usually sent. The silver-tongued operator so im- pressed the good father with the coming glories of the book that he gave the agent several photographs to be reproduced in hali-tone cuts, and also $15in gold and a note of hand for §10. The young man gave the friar a receipt for the money, siening it, “Taylor & Watson, Merchants’ Publishing Company, per Taylor.”” This transaction took place on May 15. A few days ago the friar had occasion to come to the City,and proceeded to 632 Market street, where the Merchants’ Pub- lishing Company has its offices. On mak- ing himself known he was much surprised to learn that the company was not getting out any book on Californian religious in- stitutions, and that the names Taylor and Watson were not found on the roil of agents. A peculiar feature of the affair is that the fraudulent agent gave the correct address of the company’s office to the Franciscan, who last week sent to “Taylor & Watson” a letter directed to that num- ber. Tuis letter nas not reached the com- pany though 1t was addressed in their care. The father describes his victimizer asa man perhaps 35 years, of handsome ap- pearance and engaging manners. His face was clean-shaven with the exception of a light, silky mustache. When he dawned upon the orphan asylum he way riding a tine, new bicycle, and wasdressed in a fashionably made knickerbocker suit of light tweed. He told his victim that he intended visiting Santa Cruz, Monterey and Southern California. e ——— California Mining.

THER DIABOLIC REVENGE Suspended ~ Schoolboys Create Havoc at the Edison School. | Ink-Smeared Flags and Emptied Chalk- Boxes Remain to Tell the Tale. A lurid tale of revenge perpetrated by schoolboys because they had been sus- pended by their teacher comes from the Edison Primary School on Church street, near Twenty-second. Last weex Eddie O’'Brien, aged 11 years, and Perry Harvey, aged 13, were suspended by the principal, | Miss Chalmers, for insubordination. As | they brooded over their fancied wrongs | the youthful offenders became seized with | a wild, uncontroilable longing for revenge —a revenge so diabolical that itshould strike eternal terror to the hearts of peda- gogical oppressors. i By Saturaay night the details of the fell plot had been evolved in the brains of the conspirators. Between 5 and 6 o’clock in | the evening a group of children playing in the neighborhood watched, in awe-struck silence, the two youthful house-breakers kick a pane of glass from a window on the eround floor of the school and crawl through into the building. Once within the school the youthful avengers began their career of destruction. The glass door of the principal’s office was shattered, red and black ink was | poured over the costly silk flags and | on the books lying on the teachers’ | desks. - The hands of all the clocks were pent or broken and the pendulums torn off. Eyery room was strewn with the con- tents of emptied chalk-boxes, pen boxes and pencil boxes, and all the blackboards were adorned with miscellaneous artistic sketches and mottoes heroic and other- wise. At length they satiated their thirst for revenge. Booty they scorned, for scat- tered dimes and nickels in the drawers of the various desks had been left untouched. When they had gone, iittle Jimmy Burns, who had witnessed the burglary with mouth open with astonishment, climbed into the school to see that his class- room was all right. Seeing a curtain ly- ing on the floor Jimmy dutifully picked it ug and carried it home for safekeeping. “Take that right back,” shouted Mrs. Burns as her young hopeful came in lug- g[:' ¢ the curtain. “‘First thing you know t be baving you up before the The prophetic warning came true, and Jimmy has been subpenaed as a witness. Eddie O'Brien was arrested Monday morning by Officer Thomson and is now behind the bars, rejoicing in the ven- geance he has inflicted upon his oppress- ors. Perry Harvey is believed to have “nipped” a Southern Pacific train and to | be now rusticating in the vicinity of San Jose. At last report Sheriff Lyndon and his Dunham posse had not yet been put on the youthful desperado’s track, but it is probable that he will soon join his coadjutor O’ Brien. The case of the two young burglars came up yesterday morning in tke Police Court, but was continued until next Thursday. A period of contemplation in the Ciiy Prison and possibly a visit to Whittier, it is thought, will take from the youthful reprobates any further desire for ven- geance. | | | | | When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
