The Police Judge, however, re- | leased him the next morning. | When Kelly reached the Oregon House . | he was hardly able to climb the stairs. He 60 ok cents a stranger had given hum. Since | that time he has been hardly abie to walk { and has had hardly enough food to keep Iym alive. Kelly has applied to several of { the_charitable societies in the City for | assistance, but failed to get it. Just what will become of the poor old man it is hard to say. The keepers of the | lodging-house are poor people who have hard work to provide for themselves, and | yet they have not the heart to turn him out into the streets to die.

The ness evening school is filied to over- he enroliment at the Girls’ and the Lowell High School Iso ful pto the average, and at the Polytechnic High Sct there is no diminution of attendance. The translers of teachers this year have been compara- vely few, and nearly all of these were e at their own personal requests. “The junior high school class, just opened in the Horace Mann Graminar School under the tuition of Miss Ada Goldsmith, has a fair enrollment. The | statement to the contrary in a morning paper was not authorized by me, and as vou know the first day of a term is no criterion as to the number of students. There has not been any falling off either he attendance at the Lowell High ol. Altogether it may be said that the new term of the public schools of this City opened with an increased attendance, and under highly favorab'e auspices.” It is expected, now that the Supervisors bave appropriated $200,000 for that pur- pose, that the erection of the Mission High School will be promptly begun and com- pleted during the year. In the meantime, however, junior ciasses can be accommo- dated at the Horace Mann Grammar School. The historic old Webster Primary School, under the experienced supervision of its popular principal. Miss Agnes M. Manning, began the new term under pecu- | liarly happy circumstances. After its brisk and successful contest for existence the teachers and the pupils met again last Monday like a bappy family that had Jong | been separated and was once more joy- fully reunited. Evidently the parents had notlost confidence in the ability of the teachers or the durability of the build- ings, for the classrooms were crowded as usuval with children' of both sexes, who prefer the old Webster to any other school. —e IN WANT OF FOOD.

SUFFRAGISTS AT HOME, Donations of Fruits and Flowers Continue to Be Received Daily. | Miss Anthony Tells Why She Speaks at Gatherings of Every Political Complexion. Not only gifts of flowers, but also boxes of delicious fruit, are being sent to the Womun Suffrage Bureau by distant suf- fragists, who take this very agreeable way of paying tribute to the cause they love. Among yesterday’s offerings were a mag- nificent display of giadiolas and flowers from other bulbous plants and small crates of luscious peaches from Mrs, Berry and Mrs. Danielson of Suisun. Among the visitors was Susan B. An- thony, cheery, brisk and argumentative as ever. “I was much amused,” she said to a friend of the cause, “*and just a httle hurt, at a remark about me which appeared in one of the papers. It referred to the facil- ity with which I appear at meetings com- posed of men who belong to any political The writer of the article seems to k I ought to ally myself with one party and speak at its meetings only. Now if that man—he must have been a man—had only thought a moment before tting his pen to paper, he would have ten differentiy or not at all. *To begin with, I am a woman—that is, | politically speaking, I am_a cipher, just nothing, and nothing more. Why, then, | should I speak of silver, of protection, of the tariff and other political issues? I might talk myself and everybody else to death, but would I be anvthing more thau | an empty voice? However much I might talk, couid I cast cne vote? Certainly not.. Having been a merecipher, a cipher I would remain. “No; in wy fight for woman suffrage I recognize no party. I will speak for the cause whenever and wherever I can find one voter willing to give me a respectful hearing, and, to do the men of California justiee, they have made me respect them for the unfailing courtesy which they have | shown me. Let women once be made citi- | zens, and then, like their brothers, they will espouse the political party which they think best. Till then there isand there | can be only one political issue for women: | Is she a citizen or adisfranchised serf? Is | she one of the units which go to make up the body politic, or a being_whose parity | with idiots and convicted criminals leaves | hexr without a voice or a vote in matters | which affect her dearest interests? | *“These questions must be answered first | of all,” said the veteran suffracist, in con- { clusion. ‘“When these issues are settled | in favor of woman as a citizen and a | rational being, then we shall see women | joining political parties. Untit then I for | one shall ask every voter who will listen | to me to do his best in order that woman may be enabled to cut some sort of a figure in any political party. It has been decided that the oft-lauded | lemonade set shall go to the lady suffrag- | ist who may receive the largest number | of votes. Hence gentlemen and anti- | suffragists are to be hors du combat.

THE THOUSANDS OF ADOLPH NOTHBAAR Consul - General Rosenthal Knows Nothing About Them. CASTLES IN THE AIR. The Barkeeper Seems to Be Laboring Under a Hallu- cination. BUT HE IS VERY HAPPY. According to Himself He Has Here- tofore Been the Heir of Other Fabulous Fortunes. Adolph Nothbaar, the German bar- keeper who is supposed to have fallen heir to 450,000 marks, or about $110,000 in Anerican money, was at his post of duty bhis countryman’s good luck when called !upon yesierdey by the newspapermen. Upon inquiry, bowever, his clerk informed him that the consulate had received a let- ter from Germany addressed to Adolph Northbaar, which letter had been de- livered in the regular course of consular affairs. I do not know the merit of Nothbaar’s claim,” said the Consul, “‘but he is wrong if he said I informed him of it, or that I know anything at all avout the matter. It is quite likely that I would know all about it if it were true.” Branching off from. Northbaar, the Consul stated that there were any number of people who, to establish credit, claimed they had heard through him of vast for- tunes left them in Germany. These bub- | bles, however, saon burst and that usuaily ends the bappy dream of the unfortunate star-gazer. | THE GIRL HAS GONE, T0O. Janitor Brooks of the Emporium Had a Typewriter Who Is Also Missing. The janitors employed atthe Emporium are still anxious to hear from W. F. Brooks, their chief, who has been missing for several days. . It apoears that something like $600 was collected by Brooks to pay the wages of the men under him, and since the money was turned over to him he has disap- eared. 5 Brooks was quite a lady’s man, and it is presumed that he has squandered his | money with one or more of the fair sex. | "~ About one year szo he separated from his wife and children and took up his resi- dence at 810 Mission street, room 21, He also established an office where he held forth as the manager general of the “Mer- chants’ Cleaning Compary,” an institu. tion which furnished janitors and ser- vants, as well as clean towels and soap, to downtown offices. The only other mem- ber of the company Was & pretty, petite /) f Adolph Nothbaar, Who Labors Under the Hallucination That He Has Inherited 850,000 Marks. yesterday dispensing cold beer and warm handshakes to the crowds of people who called in either to do business or to con- gratulate him on his good luck. ‘Whether or not this story of an inherit- ance is true, the publication of it has proved a bonanza to Nothbaar's employ- ers, as there has been a steady stream of people pouring into their place ever since to get a look, a word or a beer from the man who has been so suddenly lifted from a humble sphere to one of affluence. Nothbaar’s claim is that an uncle died in the Fatherland and left some 900,000 marks to be divided between two heirs, of which he is one. A He claimed also that the first notifica- tion of his good fortune came from the German Consul in this City. Asa matter of fact there is nothing to corroborate Nothbaar's statement except- ing the circumstantial evidence that he was in a particular bappy mood all day, superinduced by the many congratula. tions and their liquid accompaniments. To all inquiries as to the circumstances surrounding the legacy he patted himself proudly on a chest of wide expanse and answered: “Don’t you worry, I can paddle my own canoe,” and he would swallow another schooner. It is quite hkely that the vast wealth Nothbaar expects from Germany is but | typewriter, who, as well as Brooks, has disappeared. — CURRY'S ANNUAL REPORT. | A Balance of Receipts Over Expenditures | of 922,269 31. | County Clerk Curry’s report for the yearending June 30 last was rendered to the Board of Supervisors yesterday.

The counterpart of this granite pedestal was intended as a base for the General Grant monument, but was rejected because of the opposition of the Stonecutters’ Union, backed by public opinion. [T PRINT THER OWN TICKETS, Result of the Many Chinese Lottery Seizures Lately. INFURIATED HEATHEN. They Are Setting Up Presses to Do the Work in This City. WHAT MAY HAPPEN LATER ON Bo On Tong Hatchetmen Waiting for the Vigilance of the Police to Relax. The Chinese are again worryine over the vicissitudes they suffer at the hands of the tyrant American. This time, however, it is not the unrighteous manner in which they are forced to abstain from bathing their hands in gore. Itisdue totheim- portation and sale of lottery ticxets. Collector WiSe at present rests underthe suspicion of the almond-eyed Mongol. He is regarded as the arch-conspirator who is guilty of interfering with their Buddha- given right of swindhing one another in the shrewd manner peculiar to the Celes- tial intellect. For some time the Collector has been seizing large consignments of lottery tickets shipped to this port. Inthisheis perfectly justified by 1aw, as the tariff act of August 28, 1894, provides that all per- sons are prohibited from importing into the United States any lottery tickets or any advertisement of any Jottery. The act further provides that no such articles, whether imported separately or contained in packages with other goods entitled to entry, shall be admitted, and that all such articles shall be proceeded against, seized and forfeited by due course of law. When the steamer Formosa arrived in port about a month ago, with tickets in plenty, the Collector made a big seizure, and now there are not enough tickets in Chinatown to meet the demand. The police also are regarded with detes- tation by the innocent looking Chinese dealers. They have contributed their mite to the fund by laying hands on every ticket in sight. There are eight lotiery companies now in full blast. The priucipal five of these are the Ming Lay Chow, of which Lee Yep Duck, the heavy viliain of the recent mur- der episode, is said to be at the head; the Red Head, the Tuck Yut, the American (so-called) and the Ti Loy. These companies are now engaged, if the testimony of reputable Chinese be accepted, in setting up presses of their own to meet the demand for tickets. Thus the Chinese will engross their minds with the sale of Chinese lottery tickets until the vigilance of the police for highbinder murders ceases, and then at- tempts will be made by some of the Bo On Tong aristocrats to win the gold offered for the heads of Joe Gar, Lee Mee Toy, Lee Shung or any of their relatives. POLO VARID BY PACES Pacific Coast Pony and Steeple chase Racing Associ- ation. Grand Preparations Made for the Annual Meeting at Monterey to Take Place Soon. The Pacific Coast Pony and Steeple- chase Racing Association is making very extensive preparations for its annual meeting at Del Monte, which will be held on the 27th and 29th of this month. Owing to the great interest that is taken in th- steepléchase by members of the Country and Burlingame clubs, the yearly Country Club live pigeon shoot has beén dispensed with, and the saddle and spur will replace the gun and pigeon on this occasion. The races will be held on the same course which afforded the 400 ana their many friends such excellent sport last season. It goes without saying that more than ordinary interest will be attached to this year’s meeting, as several young 1aen have taken to the pigskin, and from all accounts they will give their more expe- rienced opponents of the turf a hard ride to land a winner. Steeple racing is fast becoming a very opular pastime with young men who are Eleued with money and the time to enjoy it in henlth-ani ways, and according to some patrons of the turf, whoarein a sition to venture a prediction, pony racing is certain to be a feature of outdoor sport whieh in the near future will be the popu- Jar fad among the young members of the Country and Burlingame clubs, The races this year will undoubtedly be witnessed by larze and fashionable gath- erings as preparations on an extensive scale are being made by many of those in high society to shine on this special occa- sion. The gentlemen selected to officiate are Mayor J. L. Rathbone, president; Fred Webster,vice-president ; stewarde—Messrs. Hobart, Hamilton, Tobin, Craft, Wain- wright and Lawson; judges—Andrew Jackson and Joseph Crocker; starter. Lon White; clerk of course, Captain Wain- wright; cierk of scales, T. F. Magher; timekeeper, John Carroll. The Burlingame and Riverside polo cinbs bave been practicing for several weeks for this event, which gives every promise of being the most successful meeting that has ever been held on this coast. —_——— : ALEXANDER P.
