THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1896 HIGH JINKS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Some Youthful “New” Women Make Clever Orations. BOYS SEVERELY SCORED. The Girls Give Many Reasons Against Their Admis- sion. REEL DANCED BY THE FACULTY Novel Entertainment Which Brought Considerable Talent to the Front. The graduating class of ’96 held high revel in the Girls' High School yesterday afternoon. The Board of Education had forbidden elaborate graduating exercises, but the girls, metaphorically speaking, snapped their fingers at the board and showed unmistakably that it would take more than a few mere men to put a veto on their enjoyment. The entertainment had been named a high jinks, and if frolic and noise and iginality constitute a jinks the girls held one yesterday. The faculty haa been bidden to be pres- ent, bat for once the girls were the pre- | ceptors and the teachers waited inquir- | ingly to learn what was to happen next. The graduating class of '96 consists of between eighty and ninety girls, but there were 150 present, for every one who had | ever attended the class during its three years’ course had been invited, and even the girls who had moved away into the interior towns responded to the call. By 1 o’clock every one was in the build- ing, the doors were locked and the jinks were given over to the care of four little mothers, who ably fulfilled the duties usually discharged by sires. They were nette Newman, Lillian Nathan, Edith Carpenter and Estella Shirek. B, mand of these young ladies ev assembled in the chemistry-room | ranged tier upon_tier, the girls prepared | themselves to make all the noise that 150 pairs of strong youn: hands and lungs aided by whistles and rattles could maxe. The tyrant man had been carefully ex- cluded, the only exeeption to this rule be- ing in faver of Principal Elisha Brooks, who had to sit by and hear his sex alluded to with a flippancy. not to say derision, which would have been galling 1f, as the professor afterward gracefully expressed 1t, he bad “been a boy.”’ The exercises opened with a grand de- | bate, “Shall Boys Ba Admitted to the Hig! Sehool ?” and before it was over the i ‘every boy in town must have been tingling. Mamie Voorsanger and the | s of the faculty present acted as ors, and the noise with which this was greeted would have y football match to shame. Adrienne Cerf opened the debate, when | quiet had been restored,by pointing out the | ntages which would follow the admis- | 1 0f boys. “They think they rule the | 1, but they would soon be tau, that onot.

For her part she would scorn a boy's help. Besides any one who acquainted with the nature of boy: be aware that they never | anvthing clean, mnot excepting | own faces. It was not until e end of her oration that this young lady | iwve a peep behind her mask of & ‘‘new’’ | woman by saying: ‘‘Don’t let them in, for | the more they see of us the less they will | think of u Distance always lends en- | chantment. | Miss Katherine Gorham made a clever | speech, pleading that it was the girls | duty to admit the boys out of a sense of pity. Miss Amy Cookson scorned the idea | of boys being admitted on any grounds; and said that as for letting them in to | scrub blackboards, she believed that God | helped those who help themselves. Miss | Letitia Rountree pleaded for the boys. “We should feel bashfulness at the | thought that there is a man in our midst, but I think that crisis would soon pass. My opponent said that God helps those who Lelp themselves, but she forgot to guote ‘Bear ye one another's burdens.’ The boys would learn tiat it is not well for man to be alone, and this would help them in after life.” Myrtle Hodson shnddered at the idea of sharing the school with rough, half-grown boys, and she prayed that in her day at teast it might never happen. Mamie Voorsanger said: “What a great disad- vantage, what an awful calamity, the ad- mission of boys would te. We have three male preceptors already. Could boysdo more ttan they have done? We do not ieel the need of more boys.” Miss Voor- saneer asked pathetically if boys should be aliowed to play in their garden and trample down their flowers, and she con- cluded with: “Shall we, the rising Shaws and Anthonys of San Francisco, allow boys to trample on our rights?” i Miss Abenheim took a strong stand in favor of the ruling sex. She said admis- sion to the high school would bring out the boys' chivalry, and she ventured to predict they would build the girls a gym- nasium. ‘“Astor me I give my hand and my heart to this cause. Girls, will you join me?”’ The oratory had all been ac- companied by the most enthusiastic demonstrations from the house, but the young orators who spoke extempore and with remarkable ease dand fluency, had not been at all embarrassed by the noise. At the conclusion of the debatea verdict was clamored for, and Principal Brooks, after expressing thankfulness that he was not a boy, decided that any boy who dared to enter the school should be drowned in the fishpond. Mrs. Pray, speaking for the Ilady teachers, pro- nounced the debate a tie, After the oratorical duel the girls under- took a pilgrimage of the school in a gay procession, singing a parody on “March- ing Through Georgia.”” They visited the various classrooms, in each of which one of the following young ladies made a brief address: Georgie Hawkins, Tilda Richards, Christobel Sobey, Eti.el Hanks, Irene Lowe and Helen Louter, who made the address in the studio, where the girls pelted Professor Goldstein, who was dis- covered there, with flowers. After the pilgrimage a halt was called for refreshments, which consisted of ice- cream, cake, lemonade and candy. The pirls then declared that a Virginia reel by the faculty was the next item on the pro- gramme, and they all assembled on the platform of the big bail and applauded while the following teachers good-natur- edly complied with their wishes: Professor E. Brooks, Miss Nellie Owens, Mrs. Mary Mayborn, Miss Mary Prag, Miss Louise Narjot Howard, Miss Frances Hodgkinson, Miss Katharine Wilson and Miss Mary T. Bragg.

J. W. Smith Suing His Partners for an Accounting. A suit for dissolution of partnership and an accounting was yesterday brought against George M. Perine and R. C. Mat- tingly by J. W. Smith., The firm was formued April 25,1895, for the purpose of doing street-contracting work. | They secured a contract with the City | for work to be done on Mission street, for which they have already received $50,000, and have $18,000 worth of work yet on hand. Smith says that the defendants were each to furnish one-half the money needed to fulfill their contract and that they have overcharged the account no less than $20,000 for the purpose of defraudin; him. As Mattingly keeps the books an Perine manages the business, Smith wants to know where he comes in. The Superintendent of Streets assessed 36 71 for the work done under Perine, Smith & Mattingly’s contract, but Smith s that the actual cost of it was less than §45,000. As he claims to have receivea but §140 from the firm since its inception Smith asks that his partners be restrained from making any further collections until an accounting can be had. THE PEGPLE'S BARK CASES They Will Be Tried Before| Judge Seawell on June 18. the Stockholders of the Concern Be Sued. The suit of the California Safe Deposit | and Trust Company against the defunct Judge Seawell’s court yesterday, but was | laid over until the 18th. John F. Sheehan, the manager, and sev- eral of the directors of the bank were | present and wanted the trial to go on. General Sheehan, in particular, seemed vexed at the delay, and said that he was very anxious for an early trial, because it | had been charged that the defense was de- laying matters. “The fact is,”” said he, “that in almost every instance, inciuding the present one, the continuance has been granted at the request of plaintiff’s attor- | neys. *‘It has been charged that the five cases | against the stockhclders have been delayed becanse we do not want the bank’s money | collected. On the contrary, everything | has been done by us to bring matters to a termination.’” | Sheehan produced a letter from Fred Stratton, the bank’s representative, which stated that in addition to the five suits against the original subscribers to | stock there are two classes of stockhbolders | whose defenses are not involved in those | suits. One class is those who by assien- | ment and purchase have succeeded to | ownership of certain shares of stock and | in | anticipation of the callingin of the unpaid | subscriptions and in anticipation of the in- | | solvency of the bank, made assignment to | irresponsible persons, from whom it would | be impossible to collect judgments. | Suils ought, therefore, to be brought | against all the stockholders of every ciass, | Mr. Stratton suggests. He also says that | test cases might with advantage be made, | provided the stipulation is made that the | other defendants abide by the decisions in | the test cases. | | \ CAOWDED CALENDA Justice Field on the Cases in the United States Supreme Court. SRS | He Refuses to Discuss Politics or Na. tional Finances—The Big Irri- gation Cases. Justice Stephen J. Field of the United | States Supreme Court had many callers at his rooms at the Palace yesterday. The Justice and his family occupy suit 190 on the first floor, New Montgomery-street side. Among the callers were Judges Me- Kenna and Morrow of the United States Circuit and District Courts. The veteran attorney, John Garber, also called and paid his respects, as did many others, In an interview the Justice said that the only business that hsad called him_to Cali- fornia was the improvement of his ailing knee. He will stay here a few days, so he said, and then go to Paso Robles. As to the decisions in the big irrigation cases which were some time since tried, Judge Field said he did not know_ when they would be rendered. They had been argued and submitted, and that was all | that could now be stated. He said that the calendar of the United | States Supreme Court was very crowded, and that while the law passed some years ago creating various United States courts of appeals had given some relief, 1t was nevertheless a fact that the calendar was still heavily loaded. Judge Kield refused to discuss the finan- cial situation, money as a political factor, or politics in any ~way. He said that while he had not come to attend court, it was possible, if necessary, that he would appear on the bench here in an isolated case or two. The distinguished Judge does not look ac all strong. ——————— Vining's Man Held for Trial. Charles E. Singer, conductor on the Mission electric line, appeared before Judge Low yes- terday afternoon for his preliminary exami- nation upon the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The complaining witness was David Keating, a laborer, who accused Binger of striking him on thé head with his bell- unch and cutting his scalp on May 27. The udge held Singer to answer beiore the Su- perior Court in §500 bonds. ————— Guilty of Assault.

The men from the United States cruiser Philadelphia and two companies of the Naval Battalion are to give an exhibition drill in Golden Gate Park next Saturday that will be worth going miles to see. It will begin at 3 ». M. and will last for over an hour. g The men from the cruiser will land at the Clay-street wharf and march to Mar- ket street. Six open cars will be waiting for them, and by 2:10 P. M. they will be under way. The band will be in the first car and the procession is sure to create a good deal of excitement along the l!ne. The battalion will be commsnded by Lieu- tenant-Commander R. R. Ingersoll, Cap- tain Dickens, United States Marine Corps, Lieutenants Winterbalter and Holcomb and Ensigns Coontz and Hayward, while the Naval Reserve will be under command of Lieutenant-Commander L. H. Turner. The first exercises will consist of bat- talion drill in columns of company, sec- tions and company squares and marching battalion front; second, street-riot drill for the baitalion; third, evolutions in bat- talion squares; fourtn, battalion bayonet exhibition; fifth, physical drill with arms to music. This last movement was inaugurated in the Philadelphia by Lieutenant-Com- mander Ingersoll, and has only been seen once or twice on the Pacific Coast and never before in San Francisco. It is par- ticularly graceful and, as the men are magnificently drilled, it is sure to be the success of the day.

(Drawn from photographs.] N 2 1 g CHAS M JACKSON — | fact that it is the banner Republican dis- trict of the City. While other Assembly Districts have to battle for a victory the Thirty-ninth can elect its Assemblymen with from 600 to 800 of a majority on every occasion. And besides this handsome percentage to their credit they also are credited with having the most popular as also the most intluen- tial business men in the City. Situate in that fashionable district of Ban Francisco bounded by Van Ness avenue on the west, Jones on the East, Sacramento on the north and Market on the south, it may be inferrcd that the ciaims of the members of this club are not over-estimated in the strength and in- fluence as a Republican organization. The fact that club members have kept up a continuous existence in and out of polilical season tends to gain for it a recognized standing from the party man- agers that is never disputed or set aside when representation is asked for within the bounds and Limits of party lines, The Republican County Committee has bad the good fortune of having constantly bad able and conscientiousrepresentatives from this district. Such men as Maurice L. Asher, Frank D. Worth and A. A. Louderback need no credentials of re- spectability and good executive judgment when called upon in consultation with their fellow Republican citizens to lay down lines upon which the successofa campaign depends. Such are the men who have b:en entrusted from time to time with the destinies of the district in the County Committee for a number of | years. The present County Committeeman of this district, A. A. Louderback, has no su- perior in the City in_wvolitical sagacity and executive ability in party delibera- tions and general campaign work, and his judgment and counsel are at all times so- licited when the real issues are at stake. The Thirty-ninth Assembly District Re- publican Club has kept up a continuous existence during the past twelve years, For the preceding two years John J. Sulli- van had been its president and prior to that time Amos Currier ruled over its de- liberations. 5 The enrolling book shows a member:hlr of over 1000 energetic and loyal Republi- cans. With a well-filled treasury the club isin splendid condition to enter the com- ing race for political honors. Its present officers are all wel!-known, representative men in the district. They were elected to office at the annual election, which was beld in the month of January. They are: President, John Gilson; first vice-president, Charles H. Jackson; secretary, William J. Her- rin; treasurer, Thomas Morion, and financial secretary, Dave Reynolds. Under the constitution of the club, each precinct is entitled to one vice-president. These vice-presidents constitute the exec- utive committee. In compliance with this vrovision, the following vice-presidents were elected and hold office: Charles H. Jackson, Harvey Burdell, Ben- amin Duncan, William T. Kibbler, David ‘orester, John J. Sullivan, Gus Hartman, T. H. McCarthy, Maurice L. Asher, H. W. Mathews, George B. Mackrett, Oscar Tolle, Benjamin H. . Patrick, Frank D.Worth, Sol Miller, H. W. Hut- ton and C.

STATE DEVELOPMENT. The General Committee Will Soon Send Out Its Topographical Maps. The executive committee of the State Davelopment Committee held its regular monthly meeting yesterday, and Chair- man Bunker reviewed the progress during | the Jast month and outlined the projects for the immediate future. He stated that thecommittee had collected and complled, at considerable trouble and expense, lists comprising 100,000 names of Eastern bank- ers, lawyers, real estate dealers, merch- ants, teachers, farmers and others to whom to mail topographical maps as soon as off the press. The Alameda County | committee has already sent in an order | for the first installment of the 100,000 | maps wanted by that county, and the presses are now at work on them, each map having to undergo five impressions to bring out the six colors. To_facilitate folding, wrapping and mailing, it was decidel to have the3 struck off in_lots of 10,000, wrapgers f which are ready and now being addressed. Letters have been re ceived from several Eastern newspapers, one—the Clinton (Wis.) Herald—asking for maps to offer as premiume for new subscribers, and another—the Sauk Rapids (Minn.) Sen- tinel—requesting enough maps to inclose with an entire edition. The secretary’s report showed that funds are coming in satisfactorily. It wasalso reported that local development associa- tions, to co-operate with the general com- mittee, have been permanently organized in Hayward, Alameda county, and New- castle, Placer county, and preliminary steps for such organization taken in Seima, Gridley, Bakersfield, Santa Cruz, Ventura and other places. The committee has re- ceived a letter from B. B. Collier of Nash- ville, Tenn., manager of the Nashville Ex- position, in which he says: As you, no doubt, know, we are going to have a centennial celebration here, beginning the 1st of May, 1897, and running six months. If you will make a display of California prod- uets, I will look after the same for you without cost. The committee will lay the matter be- fore its commitieemen in the yarious counties, asking them to played not only during the centenniai, but nent_feature to interest the people of the South. The proposition of making a special feature of the maps of San Francisco was also discussed. The suggestion of having a large map of the city on the reverse side was favorably received.” If the demand will warrant it the committee will print 300,000 maps for San Francisco county.

THE CASE LOOKED QUEER His Honor Intimates That the Charge Was Known to Be False. HAD HER HUSBAND ARRESTED. The Woman Declares That the Doctor Is Trying to Get Her Out of the Way. Judge Hebbard of the Superior Court put a peremptory stop to an insanity trial in his court yesterday with an order and air that indicated that he was not satistied that the charge was brought in good faith. Mrs. Kate Connolly, the wife of Dr. Thomas Connolly, a physician residing at Fourth and Bryant streets, was charg_ed by her husband with being violently in- sane and dangerous to be at large. Dr. Connolly was recently arrested on his wife’s complaint on a charge of battery. The courtroom was crowded with wit- nesses for both sides, the husband being the principal one against the wife, the lat- ter being supported by her motherand nu- merous friends. The strongest accusation Dr.Connolly ap- peared to be able to bring against his wife was that she used violent language at times, drank beer occasionally and was careless about leaving matches” and kero- sene about the house. The only other witness on the husband’s side who was ex- amined was C. M. Johnson, who testified that he had formerly lodged in the home of the Connollys and that at one time when the doctor was sick she had paid lit- tle attention to him. He had seen Mrs. Connolly drink beer, but could not say that he had ever seen her intoxicated. Mrs. Connolly’s defense opened by the calling of her mother, Mrs. O’Connell, who caused much amusement by a heated tirade against her daughter’s husband, which even the Judge’s admonitions were unable to stop. She described Dr. Con- nolly as a most cruel man, and seemed much disgusted when Judge Hebbard ! ordered her to leave the witness-stand | without describing the particular cruelties to which she referred. The defendant was the most collected | and self-possessed of any of those connected with the case, and answered the questions | propounded to her in a perfectly rational | manner. She stated that she had been married to Dr. Connolly for eight years, and was the mother of seven childien, four being alive, and the oldest 414 years. Her husband beat and bruised her shame- fully, she said, and a short time previous to the birth of her last child had thrown her to the floor and kicked her in the ribs. She had been compelled to flee to her mother for safety. Her answers were given in a low, clear voice, quite different than that usually used by maniacs. “That's enough. I don't wantto hear any more testimony,” said Judge Heb- bard, when she had finished her tale of woe. “This woman is perfectly sane and it seems strange that she should have been brought here on such a charge. It appears to me that there issomething here that needs investigation. Madam, you may go home.” He turned as though to address the hus- bana, but that worthy was already on his way out of the courtroom and Judge Heb- bard’s withering glance fell on his back. Mrs. Connolly said after her trial that she was being persecuted by her husband because she had had bim arrested on Sat- urday last on a charge of battery for turn- ing tie garden-hose on her and otherwise making her life miserable. ‘““He nopes to get me out of the way,” she said, “bus he will not succeed now that Judge Hebbard has given me my lib- erty and 1 shall prosecute the case against him in the Police Court to the last limit.” THIN® BLUE POLICE LINE More Officers Are Needed for the Unlighted Suburban Blocks. Street Lamps Wanted Along the Line of the Sutro Electric Railway. Richmond District and Presidio Heights are asking for more police protection. George R. Sanderson, president of the Pre- sidio Heights Improvement Club, stated yesterday thatso thin is the force in his locality that one officer must circlearound thirty blocks. **Our two officersjare walkers,” said Mr. Sanderson yesterday, “but when the po- liceman is fifteen biocks away what pro- tection have you? “We also want a new schoolhouse, as there are now a large number of children around the Heights and the nearest schools are too far away. Improvement? Our improvement club has nothing to do with the federated clubs and does not be- lieve that a federation of clubs will do the work. Each club can best labor for its own locality.” Attorney Charles Hubbs of the Rich- mond District Property-owners’ Associa- his locality had asked for the establish- ment of a police station in the district. “‘Some time ago we were told,” said he, ‘“that if we would provide a suitable building a sufficient number of officers would be detailed to man the new station just as soon as it could be done. Itisnot true that we are opposed to an increase of the force or that the present force is in- efficient. This growing City needs im- Erovementu ali along the line, and no club as been more progressive than the Rich- mond Property-owners’ Association. It has worked alone for the benefit of the locality. It brought about the anti-ceme- tery ordinance, which makes it a misde- meanor to sell any more burial lots within the City limits. *‘The association does not intend to join the federated cl:bu. as it can work for the district best by appealing directly to the governing boards. Understand, we have no criticism for the federated clubs; we simply feel that we can work better as we are.

The secret of this lucky number is not revealed to youin dreambooks, nor can you glean it from the stars. You must look for it inanother direction. You can see thousands of men and women in every grade and condition of life who pin their faith to this number and build their hopes upon it. The affluent banker, the eminent lawyer, the pious clergyman, the sturdy mechanic, the sun-burnt farmer, the dashing broker, the hardy miner, all elbow each other in their eagerness to reach their Mecca. v The vast throng who continue to dail | seek this number do so in quest of hnpn{ | ness, with which they have not always been blessed. Perhaps you, yourself, have ! not, Possibly you h: been foolish in your younger days or indiscreet in after | years and now suffer the evil effects of it. While you may be afflicted with no acute disease, yet you are conscious of the fact that something is wrong with you. You feel that you are nervous and irritable. You | feel that your thoughts and ideas are dull and often become confused. You feel that your sleep is bad, unrefreshing and some- times disturbed by weakening dreams, You feel that your energy and ambition are gone. You feel that you are unfit for study, business or the proper enjoyment of either married or single life. You there- fore meet with repeated failures and from the depths of your gloom and mortifica- tion you cry out that fate is against you, never thinking that 737 Market street, San Francisco, holds the key to your health, happiness and future success. There, at this well-known num- ber, you will find Dr. F. L. Sweany, who is acknowledged to be the greatest living authority on the treatment of all chronic ailments of the human system. His specialty embraces not only every form of nervous, sexual and private diseases, but he addresses himself in particular to diseases of the eve, ear, heed, throat, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys and urinary organs. He also effects a radical cure in the shortest possible time of piles, rapture, varicocele, | hydrocele, gleet, gonorrheea, syphilis and kindred troubles. Female complaints, which make miserable the lives of a large portion of the American women, receive careful attention and perfect cures from Dr. Sweany. If you are discouraged, down-hearted or pain-tortured by any of these or sumilar diseases and desire to get rid of them and be restored to sound, healthy manhood and womanhood, then 137 Solves the problem. Go to that number thisday. Don’t fool away any more time and money dosing with patent medicines and other cheap remedies that will do you no permanent good, but put yourself under the skillful, scientific treatment of Dr. Sweany, whom you know wiil cure you. He Ens brought about brilliant results in apparently hopeless cases, in proof of which he has thousands of genuine testimonials for private exhibi- tion 1n his office.
