AN INCONSISTENT RULE The Single Ladics Must Go Out, but if Married May Come Back. UNJUST DISCRIMINATIONS. Directors Eeger to Make Vacancies and Adopt an Unconstitutional . Rule. In the adoption of the rule requiring lady teachers to resign from the depart- ment when they marry, the Board of Edu- cation has sown the seeds of & moral and political whirlwind in the public schools. A new and striking feature about this rule is, that while it requires the maidens to resign it does not prohibit their imme- diate re-employment as teachers upon the expiration of their honeymoon. It is, ac- cordingly, as paradoxical as itis funny. Teachers are also woudering why Director Comte, who is an attorney, voted for the enactment of a rule which he had aiready advised his associates was unconstitu- tional. Its operation during the time it remained it force is likely to be productive of numerous eatangling situations, which will be watched with lively interest by all concerned. Miss Jeannette Harper, a teacher in the Mission Grammar SBenool, was united in wedlock on the very evening of the adop- tion of the objectionable jaw. Since she is now the wife of a son of Judge Wallace it is expected that her resignation will be voluntarily submitted at the next session of the Board of Education. The opinion has been freely expressed, however, that the resignation would be entirely her option, and could not be consistently de- manded under the rule by the school stges. **Within the past year," said Dr.C.A. Clin. ton, who is chairman of the qualifications committee, “‘therule relative to the mar- riage of our lady teachers h been chunged half a dozen times. Iam fully satisfied that the anti-marriage rule, which has mm“lf been re-enacted, is unconstis tutional, did not favor is, yet there is something to be said for it as well as against it. “The theory is that the department is justly entitled to the entire time of its teachers, yet when a lady married her home and family duties must necessarily divert a share of her time and attention from the school and the children under her tuition. The true reason, though, for its adoption is, I think, to r:ake vacancies in the department to be filled by the directors. “Undoubtedly it is a discrimination be- tween the sexes as well as being hostile to marriage, and eannot, in consequence, be npheld upon any moral or legal ground. 8till, while it may resultin reducing the number of marriages in the department, it is practically inoperative,because a lady who resigns can, if she has sufficient influ- ence, re-enter the department as a teacher after taking & husband, for there is no law rrohibitmg the employment of married adies. The inconsistency of it is ludic- rous, isn’t it? “There are now in the department many most excellent teachers, married and single. The moral power a teacher pos- sesses over her pupils would naturally be increased by marriage. It is doubtful, of course, if a young lady teacher would feel inclined to take an apveal to the courts when she married. If her husband should be wealthy or very well-to-do she would de- sire to resign and let him support her; but, on the contrary, there are cases where the man commands only a small income, and marriage would be impracticable uniess the wife's earnings could be joined with his, The more experienced teachers we have the better it is for the schools. Young girls frequently caloulate upon teaching for & year or two to maintain themselves, and then justassoon as they can find husbands to resign. The many changes occurring in this way are not desirable, and we ought to promote as far us pos- sible the wishes of ladies who take up teaching as a life profession.”” “I don’t believe,’”’ said Director H. C. Henderson, “‘in keeping any dead-leiter rules upcn our books. What is the use of it, anyhow ? If the single ladies teaching in the depariment wish to marry and can t a good chance why shouldn’t they? t's nobody’s business except theirs and their husbands’. The Board of Eauca- tion can’t stop them, rule or no rule, and 1t is no use for them to try. “‘When I first went into the department I had that silly anti-marriage law knocked out. Why is'it put back now? That'sa conundrum. I guess, though, that some of my worthy assaciates are iookin: for some good places for their friends. There’s another joker about the rule besides its unconstitutionality, and that is that the directors won’t dare even to ask a teacher when she marries to resign. 1f she is very timid she may be scared into doing it against her will, but if she doesn't, she will be let severely alone. You'll see that what I'm telling you is straight, and if some Plncly"{oung teacher ever takes this anti-marriage rule idto the courts it will be knocked skyhigh.” EXPERT WITH HIS PEN, 0. C. Clark, an Ex-Convict, Ar- rested on the Charge of Forgery. He Has Spu'xt Nearly the Whole of the Past Twenty.One Years in Prison. 0. C. Clark, an ex-convict, was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Gibson and Wren and Policeman Freel on the charge of forgery. He was arrested on Friday in Goldberg, Bowen & Co.’s store on Sutter street, while attempting to pass a forged order in the name of H. Mack & Co. for 500 cigars.

It is said to be an amusing play. At the Tivoli Opera-house this evening the attraction will be the opera of “Rigo- letto” with Signor De Vries in_the title role. Madame Natali is cast for the role of Gilda, which is her favorite. Many brilliant features are promised at the Orpheum Music Hall for this-evening and as the management always keeps 'faith with its patrons, there is no doubta good bill for presentation. ALONG THE WATER FRONT The Arrival of the 0. and O. Steamship Doric From the Orient. A Japanese Consul-Gzneral Is Now En Rrute to the Capital of M:xico. The Oriental and Occidental steamship Doric arrived yesterday from China, Japan and the Hawaiian Islands. She had twelve white passengers and forty- three Chinese and Japanese in the cabin and 120 Asiatics in the steerage. The vessel was boarded by Quarantine Officers Blne and Chalmers and found to possess a clean bill of health. However, | as a greater precaution, ninety-three Chi- nese steerage passengers were landed at Angel Island, with their effects, for fumi- gation before the steamship dooked. The following are the 2abin passengers: Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Graham and child, L. Plumann, H. Fuwa, enar, W. G. Barrett, K. Ito, H. an Beumken, M.'A. Newell, T. All- brecht, R. Walleott, C.

Newell of this City returned from e Honolulu. Yesterday morning D. Walker, a drum- mer for_Gibbs & Co., landed from the steamer Dauntless from Stockton and told Police Sergeant Tom Mahoney on the wharf a tale of woe. Coming down the river he feil in with two strangers, a man and a woman, and he could not do enongh for them. He paid for. their supper on the boat and also most of the intoxicants they all drank, and in doing so exhibited a well- filled purse. It is needless to say that he was permitted to drink the most and deepest., He somehow managed to get to bed, and when he awoke in the morning he found that his two companions had plucked bim. They took $135, which was money belonging to his employers, and this was a serious complication. The young man was very sorrowful, very penitent and said he would have to apply to his mother for money to make his deticiency good. By the Doric, it is learned that the seal- ing fleet is dolng well this season in Japanese waters.

ACMES WIN THE BIG ROAD RACE, Twenty-Mile Road Event of the Associated Cycling Clubs. ERAFT'S GREAT RIDE The Bay City Man Covered the Course in Record-Breaking Time. FOULED YEOMAN MENNE. Tte Bay Citys Lost When Apparently Winners—Accidents Were Numerous. The great twenty-mile road race of the California Associated Cycling Clubs was tidden yesterday over the Ban Leandro triangle and resulted in a victory for the the county road, about three mflut* side of S8an Leandro. On reaching the I ter point the men took the fork toward Haywards, covering the triangular course back to San Leandro, eight and one-third miles, Bmindg this twice, and the three and one-third miles extension to Fitch- barg, made up the required twenty miles, the finish being in San Leandro. Yesterday's race was entered by five feams, from the Acme, Bay City, Cali- fornia, Alameds, Imgtrlll, lympic and Reliance clubs., At the last moment the Olympics had to withdraw, owing to the sudden illness of J. E. Wing, their best man, of which they were notitied too late to get a man for his place. Only four of the clubs finished the race. the California and Santa Rosa men meet- ing with accidents or being unable to keep up the pace. One man from each team, making a group of six riders, was started at 10: o'clock, anothe: bunch five minutes later, and so on uniil thie five bunches of six men each were on the way, paced by tan- dems, singles or anybody or anything that could or would make a pace fast enough. Some of the tandem teams were: Dixon and Welch, Bay City: Johnson and Mayo, California; Evan and Jaegling, Imperial; Kroetz and Stunlei': Olympic, and a team from the Reliance Club. The speed™ maintained was very fast, averaging well under three minutes for every mile. But in the second bunch there was one man who could not get pacing fast enough to suit him. This was Kraft of the Bay City Wheelmen. He chafed under restraint, it seemed, and kept coming up even with the tandem riders, who were already nearly dead from riding so fast, and asking them to make it faster. They only looEed at him in dis- gust, wondering what manner of man he was, and worried along for another mile. Kraft must have thought taey were de- laying the game, for he finally swung out, passed the tandem, and, digging into his pedals, left the bunch as though it was standing still. He was soon out of their sight, and what was his joy on turn- C. A, Kraft of the Bay City Wheelmen, Who Covered Twenty Miles in 2 mins. 51 1.5 sees. team of the Aome Club Wheelmen of Oak- land, the Bay Oity Wheelmen of this City being a close gecond. The race was replete with incidents and secidents, and the ride was & hard one for all the contestants. The day was warm and sultry, and the course over which the race was ridden was in very poor condi- tion. Falls were numerous, and, while nothing serious happened, many a man finished bruised and dusty—sometimes on & borrowed wheel, his own having been smashed in some collision or tumble. As prophesied in Tug Cany last Friday, the Acmes won the ruice and won it fairly, but their most-feared competitors, the Bay Citys, who entered their men at the last moment, having aimost decided not to ride, gave them a much barder battle than was expected, and but for the foul riding of Yeoman of the Keliance Ciub, who elbowed and threw Menne of the Bay Citys, the latter club might have easily ‘won. The trouble occurred on the south side of the triangular course, near the railroad crossing. The race was E‘ud throughout by tandem teams from the different clubs, and at this point a Reliance team swung into the lead. To be first behind a tandem is some advantage, and all the men in the group of riders sprinted for the coveted position. Menne got it, but this did not suit Yeoman, who rode alongside of him and tried to crowd him out, using his elbow. Menne would not have it that way and elbowed him back. It was over a rough bit of road, and Yeoman’s wheel went into a rat, throwing him heavily and bringing his ogponent down, also.” The rest of the bunch cleared the smashup and kept on, but the wheels of the iwo who ha fallen were wrecked and they could not follow. But happily for Yeoman a clubmate of his came along and loaned him his wheel, and he was soon off agaiu and caught u; what he had lost, while Menne had to ..5 several minutes before he could get an- other mount, It was a deliberate foul, and lost the Bay Citys the race; but they are too sportsmanlike aclub to claim it on any such grounds, and will go no further than to denounce Yeoman's foul riding. Menne is & much better man than Yeo- man, and would have beaten him. By this foul he finished over four minutes b+- hind Yeoman. As the Bay Citys onl, lost the race by one minute an "unty-elrht seconds, owing to Kraft's wonderful ride in the second bunch, where he gained over three minuteson every man who started with him, it is to say they had the race well in hand, President” Kerrigan said, after h hedrd the particulars of the foul: “‘Welj, I guess Yeoman of the Reliance Club won the race for the Acmes, but never mind. You remember the Acmes won the first relay race, and with one oxception we have won it ever since. Maybe this race, which has to be contested évery yea: will also turn out that way; here's hoping.” The twenty-mile team race isanew de- parture with the associated clubs, but will be an aunual feature hereafter. The trophy is an u.l?ant silver cup, hand- somel graved. As the association already has annual ten and twenty-five mileraces and the hundred-mile reiay, it was decided to have a fwenty-mile race, to be competed for by five men from each club which entered, and the lowest aver- age net g(mo of any team would give to olub possession of the trophy for s year. It has to be won three times, how- ever, to become the personal property of a club. Tha fact that the race was limited to amateurs kept many good mep. out of it, but when the association passed a rule that no man could ridé who had ever raced in class B of the League of American Wheelmen (though the league last Febru- ary had resto all men o ama- teurism), the big clubs lost interest in it entirel The Garden City Cyclers and San Fran- cisco éoul clnb’w‘i’nld not enter teams, and the Bay Citys only went in half- heartedly without much hope or care of winnins, As a matter_of fact, that ruls was rushed lhrou!h by the Alameds County delegates to the association to keep oul the ex-class B mhglnhof San Francisco and San Jose, who had been re- turned to amateurism, for last year when ¢t class flou class B men scross the bay were as scarce as silver ocrats to-day. '.l‘m’ ride was started et Fitchburg, on ing the corner at Ban Lorenzo to see his two club_mates, George E. Dixon and Herbert W. Welch, waiting there with their tandem to pace some_man, they did not care who, though a Bay City pre. ferrod. And =0 all was merry from there on with Charley Kraft, for if there is an team that can scorch the ground wit their speed it is Dixon and Welch. And 80 it was that the sprctators at the finish saw whizzing past them what appeared to be three men on a triplet dressed in pretty pink racing suits aud wearing the emblem of the Malitese crose, but which was in reality the Dixon-Welch tandem m and Kraft on & single, but trailing them closely it looked like one three-seated machine. “Was that pace hot enough for you?”’ queried jolly Lieutenant Dixon after the race, to Kralt, wno was still on his_wheel, moving elowly and breathing heavily. “Don’t ask me,” responded the thor- ouehly winded German. **Wait till I ride another mile and get my breath.” Kraft's ride is most remarkable and es~ tablishes & very low twenty-mile record for the coast. "His net time for the dis- tance was 52 min. 51 1-5 sec. This has only been beaten in two States in tl Union—Massachusetts 48:58 and Texas 50:08—neither of which was made in com- petition ashis was, and surely over better courses, for the San Leandro triangle road is now very rough and heavy. Williamson of Banta Rosa made a splen- did ride in the fourth group. He beat them ail in and rode faster than the av- erage time of the day by & couple of min- utes. Bates of thé Reliance Club rode splendidly in the third bunch, had a fall or two and still finished well to the front. Vincent of the Bay Cities changed his mount five times in the race and still fin« ished well up. Staples, the last Acme man to finhg. fell six times all told, and changed wheels whenever he saw one he thought locked better than the last one he borrowed, like a Kentucky horsetrader. The following show the perform. ances of the men on the teams which finished the race: Acme Club Wheelmen—J. R. Kenna, 56:48 35; H. . Squires, 55:54 4-5; E. W. fevre, 57:24 8-5; C. H.

Mrs. Addie L. Ballou was honored with a Selection for California, and immediately appointed Mrs. Elizabeth Sloper her assist- ant. As soon as convenient they notified all the California women of known ability as writers of what was desired. The result was most promising. Manuscripts and books, accompanied with missives express- ing appreciation and a sincere desire to see r lady writérs make a grand display, have been arriving with every mail. Among them is a new work by Flora McDonald Shearer, entitled, “The Legend of Aulus.” The book also contains several other shorter poems of merit. . Two pamphlets by Rose O'Halloran, on the subject of astronomy, are also deserv- ing of mention. One is entitled, “‘Tele- scopic Studv of the Heavens,” and the other, ““When the Moon Runs Highest and Runs Lowest.” Then thete are two books by Mary Lam- bert, which will receive their due share of | attention. “La Rabida,” a Californian Columbian souvenir poem, is a vperfect gem so far as printingand binding are con- cerned, and is also beautifully illustrated. A larger work, fresh from the press, con- tains exactly 200 pages, with a steel en- graving of the author. Another work that cannot fail to excite attention even among the vast exhibit | that will be made is Marie L. Farrington’s ‘Facing the Sphinx.” Aside from its unique title, the book deals in an orignial manner with the esoteric study of symbol- ism in the religions of Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Orient. rom many others have come promises 0 send In their writings at once. Among them 1s Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, who has promised two books frome her facile pen. Miss phine McCracken of Wrights, Santa County, will mail her “Over- land Tales'’ and ‘‘Another Juanita.” Mrs, Charles Brown has promised the works of her mother, Mrs. Georglana Kirby. Agnes Manning, Madge Morris Wagner, Ina D. Coolbrith Gertrude Atherton and other distinguished writers have been communicated with, but sufficient time for an answer has not yet elapsed. Mrs. Mary A. Stanton has given her word to contribute a work on physiognomy. Mrs, Julia Schleaig;er has donated, her late work entitled “Workers in the Vine- Qe NEW TO-DAY. You might pay—per- haps you do pay—-$2 or $3 or $4 a pound for tea and yet miss the charm that is in Ideal Blend — the rarest flavor of Sckl- ling's Best. How can your grocer sell you such tea for $1.25 a pound when other tea that is not so good (no better anyway) costs more? Hard to answer, unless we claim for ourselves so great knowledge of the art of blending, so that we can, at moderate cost, produce the effect that it costs other tea makers more to pro- duce, and, therefore, costs | you more to enjoy. $1.25 a pound — 200 cups—your money back if you don't like it.

In addition the volume is copiously illus trated. Mrs. Black (Annie Laurie) has been for- warded a request fo send in her published works, and an answer is expected very soon. Mrs. Ballou hersel! will send a volume of poems entitled *‘Driftwood” and her drama, “A Guardian Angel,” to the ex- position. The two ladies engaged in this labor of love are in higb spirits at the response to their call, and say that California is going to stand second to none in the coming exhibition. AIL works must be sent East in November. The results of advertising were recently illustrated. A London man advertised for the return of a lostcat.
