OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, June 3. | | A fashionable luucheon party from San | Francisco was rescued from Lake Merritt | this evening by Mayor Davie. The party consisted of three ladies and three gentle- | men, and, had the accident occurred after | dark with the rising tide, tie consequences | would have been appalling. As it was, a | few ruined costumes and some probable colds constitute the damages. Thomas F. Humphreys, whose home is on Peralta Heights, gave a luncheon party | | to-day to some guests from San Francisco. | After lunch it was proposed that the party | take a sail on Lake Merritt. For several | hours the little yacht on which they em- barked sailed beautifully with the aid of | the fresh breeze, and the party was return- ing when the accident occurred. Intack- irg the boat answered her helm so rapidly | that the ladies did not have time to shift | to the weather side before the sails were | full. The wind was very fresh and as the yacht caught its force, with the ladies to | leeward, it capsized on to its beam ends. The ladies and gentlemen were thrown into the water and their screams at once attracted attention. The yacht sunk out of sight and the party stood on it and the outside sail.

OAKLAND, CaL, June 3.—The first | summer school of the Young Women’s Christian Association under the interna- tional committee will open Friday at Mills College, and continue through Sun- |day, June 1. It is expected that there will be over 100 young women in attend- ance from all parts of the State.

The Mayor goes out every evening for an hour’'s rowing, and he was passing the yacht at a distance of about six hundred | feet when the squall struck it. He pulled to the place, and after a long struggle he | succeeded in getting the three ladies aboard. His boat is a mere shell with no keel, ana the water-logged ladies weighted itdown considerably, and it was with difii- culty that they were landed at the boat- house. A yacht went to the rescue of the three men and brought them ashore. The yacit is stuck in the mud and will be raised to-morrow. The party, as it returned to the Humph- rey mansion, was the most woe-begone that has ever been seen in the fashionable neighborhood of Peralta Heights. Old Tommy, the lake boatman, did all he could to help the unfortunates, but Tommy is not prepared to supply summer costumes for shipwrecked maids, and his efforts were ;confined to supplying them with a mat | on which they kicked some of the mud off | their feet and shock some ooze from their muddy garments. They then returned to the home of their host, leaving a muady trail along Athol avenue. HARD ON THE TEACHERS called attention to the fact that there was | a general desire for a reduction of official salaries; that the cost of living in Oak- land bad been materiaily reduced; that business men have been compelled to cut down salaries and wages, and that it was the intention of the Council to reduce out- | lays in other departments. | It was finally agreed that the salaries of | the seven principais of primary schools could be reduced from $2100 each to $1800, making a saving of $2100. It was agreed that certain special teachers could be | spared at a saving of $2000 more. It was | shown that a reduction of $8000 in the ex- penses of the department had been made last year. — SENT TO SAN QUENTIN. | Several Offenders Sentenced in the Su- perior Court for Various Terms.

ALAMEDA, CaL., June 3.—The an- nouncement made &t the meeting of the Board of Education last night that teach- ers were not giving satisfaction to the parents has created a stir in educational circles. All sorts of rumors are current, and the teachers are much bestirred and nervous wondering whose heads are going to fall into the basket on June 16, on which date appointments for the next year are made. The Superintendent of Scnools, D. J. Sullivan, in speaking of the matter to-day, said: “Last night’s remarks were a surprise to me. Ihad noidea of such a thing hap- pening. Matters seemed to me to be run- ning along quite smoothly, and I am more than satisfied at the progress made by teachers and taught during the last six months. “The statement that the results shown by our scholars are not equal to those in other towns around the bay is altogether erroneous, and I cannot for the life of me understand on what basis the conclusion is arrived at. Y ‘“I'here are some teachers who were in- discreet enough to remark when the course of study was brought into operation that they did not 'ike itand would not follow its lines. Time, however, has changed 2ll thai, and they recognize their mistake.” Speaking of the quality of instruction iven Mr. Sullivan pointed out that the lameda High School is affiliated to the university, and its pupils are drafted from the grammar grades in the other schools. On the question of the loyalty of the teachers to their work and the enthusiasm shown 1n it he spoke higuly. Of their capabilities generally he spoke in the same terms. “There are faults, many grievous ones, which I would like to correct had I the power. It is the system that is wrong. All our teachers have passed the grammar grade or the High School examinations and crammed for six months or more so as to pass the teachers’{county examinations. They have received certificates as fully fledged teachers and are on an equal-foot- ing with the principals of the schools. Really, they had no experience as teachers in the art of teaching when they obtained their certiticates. They have to get that afte-ward in our schools. “Yes, I acknowledge it is at the expense of the pupils, but I am surprised at the good results we get when this is taken into consideration.

AT THE CITY THEATERS, Ada Rehan Will Appear at the Baldwin To-Night in a Double Bill. How the Gallery Boys Long to Join in the Soudanese Fray at the Grand. Ada Rehan ana the Daly company re- peated their excellent performance of “Twelfth Night”’ at the Baldwin Theater last night. There ere only a few more | days left in which to see the organization. Three productions not piven during the present season will be crowded into that | time. To-night will see the double bill of “The Belle’s Stratagem’’ and *‘The Honey- moon’’ and the rest of the week wiil be given to “The Taming of the Shrew."” Next Monday Nat C. Goodwin will pre- sent his new play “In Mizzoura” at the Baldwin. The Frawley Company has settled well down to its work in “The Two BEscutcheons,” and the audiences, which continue to be almost as large as on the opening night, are getting home a little earlier than on that occasion, when the recognition of old favorites and the welcome extended to the work of the new performers retarded the action of the play and made it well on to- ward midnight before people left the thea- ter. Most of the new members of the com- pany have continued the favorable im- ression they made on Monday. “The ! Two Escutcheons’” goes with a good deal of verve. Next week Miss Martha Morton’s comedy-drama, written for William H. Crane, will be produced by the Frawleys at the Columbia. “The Soudan” is one of the biggest pro- ductions that the Grand bas seen under Morosco’s management, and it has found exceptional favor, for it caters to all tastes. For the lovers of good old stereo- typed melodrama there isthe persecuted wite, hunted by the villain, who comes on dressed in black seeking where to lay her head and that of her child; admirers of the lighter ieatures fairly revel in the deeds of Leslie Morosco, as a comic law- yer's clerk. Since his travels abroad Leslie bas acquired more finish in his act- ing, as well as an Bnglish accent, which he uses very nicaly and does not exag- gerate. 1t is the spectacular features in- “The Soudan” which appeal most to the audi- ence, however. At the assault of the desert city the gallery boys get so excited that only the certainty of breaking their necks prevents them from jumping down and taking a hand in the fray. “Olivette” is drawing good houses to the Tivoli. Next week Dellinger’s comic opera, “Lorraine,”” will be produced, with Marie Millard, the bright young daughter of the late Harrison B. Millard, in the title role. i The Orpheum bill continues to fill the house. Dixon, Bowers and Dixon make up excellently as the three hayseeds and their dancing delights the audience, truth to_tell, quite as much as that of the high- priced and graceful Papinta. The hard- working McAvoy and May are prime favorites and Lizzie B. Raymond’s singing is as popular as ever. The Meers brothers continue to do startling feats on a very slack wire, and the rest of the bill is up to the Orpheum’s standard. Preparations are now nearly complete for the opening of the California stock company season on the 15th inst. . A testimonial benefit will be tendered to Miss Margaret Craven at the New Auditor- ium on the 12th inst. The Daly company opens at the Mac- donough Theater, Oakland, next Monday. A novel play, entitled ‘“‘Miss Jerry” will be produced at Metropolitan Temple next Monday. —p—e— The coalfields of the United States have an araa of nearly 200,000 square miles, or ten times that of all the other coal-pro- ducing countries in the world, STATE AND NATION 10 CO-OPERATE, Plans Completed for the Big Celebration at Monterey. BEAR FLAG JUBILEE. Fifty Years Ago Americans Took Possession of Cali- fornia. OF GREAT LCCAL INTEREST San Francisco’s Exempt Firemen Will Hold Ceremenies on Portsmouth Square. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL, } 908 Broadway, June 3. Major E. A. Sherman, chairman of the committee of arrangements of the celebra- tion of the jubilee anniversary of the American occupancy of California, has completed his programme and made it public to-day. The celebration, which will be held urder the auspices of the Veterans of the Mexican War, is to be a National and Stateaffair; and while there are festivities under the direction of the executive com- mitee at Monterey to be held on the three days previous under the special managemen; of Harry Green of that place, which deserves every encouragement, the celebration of the 7th of July to be com- memorated is especially committed to the hands of the committee of arran-ements of the Associated Veterans of the Mexicun ‘War, who originated the movement over a year ago. General James W. Forsyth, U. 8. A, commanding the Department of Califor- nia, and Admiral L. A. Beardslee; U. S. N.. commanding the Pacific Squadron, are heartily co-operating to make the celebra- tion worthy of the occasion and a grand success. Everybody and everything of a toric nature connected with the original event of the landing and hoisting of the American flag at Monterey that can be gathered there will be assigned a proper place and due justice done to all, | limited only by time and space allotted for the occasion. S ‘The site for the Sloat monument was se- lected on Thursday afternoon last by Lieu- tenant J. Reynolds Landis, U. 8. A, the officer designated by Cieneral Forsyth in conformity with orders received from the Secretary of War, in which he was as- gisted by Captain Cassius Gillette of the United States Engineer Corps. It islo- cated just north of the front angle of old Fort Halleck on the military reservation at Monterey on the axisof the round of the hill and fifty feet in front of the outer line of the excavation of theold intrench- ments. The plat is fifty feet square and the base of the ground plan of the monu- ment exactly twenty-four feet square. The platform upon which the monument proper is to be erected will havea front Wall or face six feet in height composed of three tiers of stones furnished by the fifty- eight counties of the State, and by one each from the army and the navy, and the corner-stone representing the State of California, the latter being prepared at the Rocklin granite quarries in Placer County. The Boards of Supervisors of ten counties have already ordered the stones to be prepared and others will do likewise, Solano County furnishing a beautitul onyx stone from her own quar- ries and Alameda County a fine polished granite ashlar from the Rocklin quarries. The site of the monument is about one- third of a mile above and in sight of the whole harbor of Monterey and the old Custom-nouse where the flag was aud is to be raised, which of necessity divides some- what the programme for the ceremonies of the day, which require careful adjustment as to time and locality. There will be a procession, the landing of the naval forces, the reading of Commodore Sloat’s original proclamation, the raising of the flag with salutes from the shipsin the harbor ana the batteries of artillery on shore, the cer- emoniesof laying the corner-stone, oration, poem, songs by public school children and other incidents 10 connection therewith. The State of California and all the counties and the army and navy will be represented by a young lady chosen from each, or a proxy supplied when one is unable to be present. His Excellency, Governor James.Budd, has been chosen president of the day. United States Senators Stephen M. White and George C. Perkins, General James W. Forsyth and twelve other officers of the United States Army, Admirals Harmony, Kirkland and Beardslee, with ten other officers of the United States Navy, besides distinguished citizens of all parties who have rendered service to the Nation and the State, have been impartialiy selected as vice-presidents for that occasion, and the celebration is intended to be solely an expression of National sentiment and to meet with the entire approbation of every citizen who may have the opportunity to be present. Major Sherman, with whom the cele- bration originated, said to-day: ““We are now only awaiting a telegram from the Secretary of War, which we ex- pect to receive in two or three daysin re- sponse to letters and report sent of the location of the site of the monument, which telegram, as soon as received, will enable us to complete the programme, as contemplated. Everything now promises to be a complete success. Suppiementary to the celebration at Monterey, the Ex- empt Fire Company of San Francisco, at our request, will at Portsmouth square have charge of the celebration of the 9th of July, the fiftieth anniversary of the raising of the flag on the plaza and at the Presidio by Captain J. B. Montgomery of the United States sloop-of-war Ports- mouth, after whom Montgomery street and Portsmouth square is named. ~Salutes will be_fired at the Presidio by order of General Forsyth, and from the vessels of war in the harbor of San Francisco, in- cluding the little monitor Comanche, on the 7th as well as on the 9th of July. “The ceremonies at San ¥rancisco under the direction of the Exempt Firemen should receive the support of every citizen, for they have been on guard duty over Portsmouth square since 1849, and their flagstaff is on the same spot where the American flag was raised fifty years ago by Captain Montgomery. “The committee of arrangements of the Associated Veterans of the Mexican War the executive committee at Monterey and the committee of San Francisco, in aid of the celebration at Monterey, are working together in harmony with the Sioat Monu- ment Association included, to make the celebration worthy of the Nation and of the people of the State of California.” —_—e STEINMEYER DISAPPEARS.

According to the story Olsen tells, his daughter, who had worked for Steinmeyer for three years past, was found to bein a delicate condition, and she charged him with her downfall.

One of Them Meets the Mesmerist and a Warrant and Arrest Follow. HAYWARDS, Car., June 3.—A remark- able story of superstition and belief in mesmerism as a cure for sickness was told during the trial of a case in the Justice’s court to-day. Manuel Rose of Haywards was on trial for assaulting Manuel Fontes of San Le- andro. Fontes is a Portuguese doctor and mesmerist, and has a widespread reputa- tion among his conntrymen for the efficacy of his cures. Mrs. Dutra is a resident in the hills near Haywards and is a firm believer in the power of mesmerism to cure sickness. For a long time she has suffered with acute cramps, and at last resolved to seek the aid of the San Leandro doctor. Before doing so she told her friend Manuel Rose of her intention, and Rose told her that | Fontes was a hypocrite and could not cure. A few days ago Fontes went to the Dutra house by request. He drew the blinas of the parlor and after giving Mrs. Dutra half a cup of some potion, which she drank, he went through the usual hand-waving performance common to mesmerists. Mrs. Dutra was soon under the power and commenced to cough very violently. Fontes continued his incanta- tions, and when Mrs. Dutra ceased cough- ing and returned to her senses he showed her a little binch of horselLair in which pins had been liberally stuck and told her that it was the evil spirit that she had coughed up and which had been troub- ling her. Mrs. Dutra said nothing, but was rather skeptical that she had parted with any such trophy, and Fontes then produced a park of cards, and after shuffling them he told Mrs. Dutra that she had some ene- mies, and that they were a man and two women of the same family, as shown by the king and two queens that he held in his hand. His patient then decided that ber enemies were Mr. and Mrs. Rose and their daughter. She told Fontes of her be- lief, and also of what Rose had said of his powers as a doctor. Manuel Fontes then left and was not long in finding Rose. They met on the street and a wordy quarrel soon developed into a fist-fight. Doubt exists as to who was the aggressor, but Fontes caused the arrest of Rose, and the trial commenced to-day. During the taking of the testimony Manuel Fontes’ powers -as a mesmerist were demonstrated very strongly. After he had looked at Mrs. Dutra for a few minutes she went into a dead faint. After the excitement had passed off, one of the “queens,” Miss Rose, went into a faint, and again interrupted the proceedings. It took all day for the story to be told, and will probably consume a large part of to-morrow. John B. Hayes’ Death. OAKLAND, Car., June 3.—John B.
