THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1896. 23 FENTFLL S h SCHOOL LR Typical Incidents Marking the Close of the Term. TEACHERS AND PUPILS. Singular Mingling of Anxiety, Pride, Ambition and Pathos. THE JOY OF THE HONORARIES Sadness of Students Not Promoted. Closing Exercises and Lists of Greduates, It isan eventful era to-day in school life— the last day of the term, a day prolific of charaoteristic episodes in the year's ex- periences of teachers and pupils, in which there is a curious emotional mingling of anxiety, pride, ambition and pathos. Not he boys and gitls of the graduating | es could win medals or have their nanmes placsd on the roll of honor. so| naturally they were not so proud and | elated as their more favored schoolmates. | Still the ephemeral disappointments and | heart-burnings resulting from these causes | were generally forgotten in the joy and | excitement attending the closing exercises. | The advent of the six weeks’ season of rest and recréation will be welcomed by all of the teachers and pupils in the primary, | grammar and high schools, and at the) opening of the next term, in August, all | entments and jealousies will have dis- ed and everything will run on v for anotaer year. severe sirain is put upon the nerves principals on the last day of the term. rents eome to them to learn if their | ldren are to be promoted, and teachers | petition for & change of grade and for | ve to remove 1o more desirable class- | s, and dissatisned pupils beg for nsfers to other schools. It is imposs , a8 all teachers know, to get the chil- dren to give any attention to lessons on the last day of the term, and the most that is attempted is to maintain some semblance of diseipline. The honorary Is, who are dismissed a day or two , generaily come back to school on t t dl:lf of toe term and stay until all | is over. Their proud and smiling faces are striking contrast to those of their mates, who, although not necessarily through any fault of theirs, have failed of promotion and miss the laurels worn so triumphantly by the lucky honoraries.

The Lincoln Grammar, the largest sctiool in San Francisco and one of the best eonducted, beld its closing exercises yesterday afternoon in the commodious hali of the school.” As usual thé audience was large and the entertainment, aside from its enjoyability, gave positive evi- dence of the merits of the school.

James A, Maloney, commercial traveler, appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yester- day to answer the charge of battery pre- ferred against him by Alice Hendricks, who is employed in a candy-store on Kearny street. She is a pretty girl, 16 years of age, and Monday evening, while walking along Market street on her way to her home on ‘Furk, Maloney accosted her and asked her to have dinner with him. She walked on, when he followed her, grabbed her by the arm and again asked hertodine with him. She notified Policeman Coleman and Ma- loney was arrested. - Miss Hendricks gu’ve her evidence and showed bitter resentment against the de- fendant for insulting her. Policeman Coleman also testified to her complaining to him of the defendant’s conduot. Maloney pleaded guiity, but in extenua- tion said he bad been out with the “boys’’ the night before and he thought Miss Hen- dricks was one of the girls he met.

Yesterday’s testimony in the Ashley trial, like much that has preceded it, was of an unpublishable character and con- sisted chiefly of facts brought out in the testimony of Detective Wood.

Sick and Sore in Body and Even Worse in Ris Heart. In last December, John Baptista, a deck- hand on the steamer San Joaquin 4, was the victim of an accident from the effects of which he has not yet recovered. A cylinder burst and injured his head, and now he complains that in consequence of the recommendation of Dr. Regan the company will no longer give Lim any financidl aid and that for the lasttwo months he and his wiie and children have been dependent upon public charity for their support. His head is still sore and he is confined in his bed and unable to work, but at the alleged injustice of the steamship com- pany his beart is even sorer. —————— Equal Rights Democratic Club.

Price, the Market-street book-seller recently sentenced to eighteen months in San Quentin for sending obscene matter through the mails, was released from the penitentiary yesterday on 85000 bail pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. He was brought over QTR O SN RV DETECTIVE DANIEL J. O'KEFE. contradicted many of his previous state- ments. When questioned about his rela- tions with Mies Ashley he denied that he acted toward her in any other than a busi- ness capacity. When, as Mr. Balch’s agent, he bronght flowers, candy and bil- lets-doux to Miss Ashley, he wasnot on fa- miliar terms with her. As toever having made love to her, why, that was preposter- ous. O'Kefe occupied the stand during the morning session of the court. His story was substantially the same as his employ- er's. Headmitted that he had received a consideration, §3 a day, for his services. He testified that he had taken flowers and candy to Miss Ashley from Mr. Balch, but couldn’t remember how often he had done so. Miss Ashley had told him, with much weeping, that she had been intimate with a commercial traveler who had caused her trouble. At the opening of the afternoon session 0'Kefe was again put on the stand. The witness was lurther questioned abous his testimony on the direct examination con- cerning Miss Ashley's escapade with the traveler. The witness had an interview with Miss Ashley in a house in Boston. He dian't remember that Miss Ashley was doing anything at the time, but when Mr. Orit- tenden asked the witness if Miss Ashley was not laughing and singing at the time, Mr. 0’Kefe recollected that she wascryin, sobbing. He didn’t remember whether | gave herany candy or flowers. He didn’t remember whether he gave her money or whether she took money from a letter which he ghuve her. During his interview with Miss Ashley the witness had watched her very closely, though he had no particular purpose in doing so. Miss Ashley, after she had read the letter from Mr. knlch. was weep- ing, evidently from something she had read. The witness was also presentat an in- terview between Miss Ashley and Mr. Balch. At this interview Mr. Balch had declared that Miss Ashley should see 8 doctor, and the name of Dr. Whitmore ‘was sugeested. Later Miss Ashley lived with a Mrs, Follett. O'Kefe had seen her several times while she lived there, but his rela- tions with her were of a pureliy business character. He was not on familiar terms with her, never made love to her, never had conversations with her about love, philosophy or history. He met her in the parlor, as the lady of the house did not wish Miss Ashiey to receive him in her room. O°Kefe also had interviews with her at various other houses where she swopped. In regard to Miss Ashley’s stay at the Burton City Hospital, O'Kefe admitted that he had never seen ber there, bat that he had taken letters there addressed to Miss Auhleg and had taken away letters written by her. - 5 At this point Judge Black adjourned court until Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. Mr. Crittenden was anxious for a longer postponement that he might have time to get certain affidavits from the East which he had not yet been able to zet on account of pressure of business. Judge Slaci:, how- ever, was obdurate, so the cross-examina- tion of O’Kefe wert over until Saturday morning. o THE LABOR BUREAT. It Is Preparing to Move Into Its New Headquarters. The Labor Bureau Association is making active pu&uflonl for its departure from the old heatiquarters at 115 Turk street to its new quarters at 915)¢ Market street.

The special committee on park amuse- ments for the children reported that they would have to pay $150 for the use of the merry-go-round for the day.

About a dozen members of La Estrella Parlor No. 89, Native Daughters of the Golden West, signified their willingness | to assist the committee in taking care of the children or any other work to be done. In the evening the executive committee met. George W. Elder of the regatta com- mittee reported that it would be impos- sible to collect any money on tae City front for the regatta, and therefore moved that the idea be abandoned and the com- mittee disbanded.

To wmaintain the much higher level of wages in the United States and at the same time to procure the widest possible diversifica- tion of our industries, it is necessary, in the view of those who believe in the wisdom of a protective policy, to levy duties which are equal to the cost of produetion and distribu- tion in the United States and in competing countries.—WILLIAM B.
