Vessels, : ) ‘|- 'The investigation of the loss ‘of the ‘steamer ‘San Benito oh the Mendocino | ‘coast two weeks ago- was begin yesterday before the United States.Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels. The first witness was | the master of the jll-fated ‘véssel, who-in substance said that his sworn report of the |- disaster should be a part of his testimony. He failed to save his l6g-as everything was washed away, his ‘room ~being -entirely gutted by the sea. When making’the trip hé noticed that'the standard compass. Was correct; but the steering compass and the bridge compass - were a little.in érror. After passing Cape Blanco to-Cape Mendo- ¢ino there were fresh head winds, squally |- at times, with rains and a head sea, Beiween the. lapses he ran by .log 145 miles before changing bis course,. Land Was seen several times near- the ‘laltarcnga from the tops of tue mountzins to the water. about 9:30 A.. M. Was twelve miles off Cape Mendocino when the course was changed at 12:25 o’clock. The Point Arena light was then in view about five. miles distant and the course was changed. more .to the Alsosaw iand pear Point Gorda. south. After this Captain Smith says that: be leit the deck in charge of R. Ztlling. - About 1:15 or 1:30 A. M. tue vessel struck. The -first warning of danger was by the first officer ringing the bell. On going on deck tne captain saw. land and breakers close by on the port side. He ordered the wheel putover and was told that it.was. Immediately after the vessel struck. .He 1ote- from a'Mrs. Hart stating that it was ‘her lawful husband whom she (Mss.-How- land) fas about to marry. Hart was not on.the scene. He had made & brief appearince amd-then left. He had - agreed to arrive with “the mar- riagé license, ‘but came with the informa- fion that he was unable to secure one. When told of the note his prospective bride bad’'réceived from his wife, he con- fessed its truth and said that. Mrs.. Hart had been at the- County Clerk’s office dur- ing the day and warned Cupid’s clerk of the state of affairs. 1t was for this .reason,” he explained; that he could not “procure the necessary license. Mrs. Howlind has been working . about the city for several-months as a domestic, and.she has received attentions from and carried on communpication with Hart for some time: He was empldyed during the summer months as an engireer at Moore & Smith’s sawmills at- Sequoia, in the mountains. ‘While they wére thus separated they were in‘continual correspondence, he being es- pecially endearing in his letters. The mills closed for the season last week, and it'had been previously arranged by letter that the couple should marry as |. 500n as he came down to the valley. Hart arrived'in this city a few days ago; and the errangemeuts for the -wedding were quickly arranged. Mrs. Howland | has a number ‘of friends in- the city and she sent them invitations. Hatt was: practically unacquainted in this city and ‘had mo ‘one to.invite. The bride’s preparations, in ‘which she was actively assisted by Mrs. Stevens, werg somewhat elaborate. - The table for the supper which was to foliow the binding ¢f two into one was. carefully set'during the day and- beanti- filly deeorated with flowers. 2 Tue prospective bride haa jnst donne her wedding-dress when = messenger. called at the door with-& note for her. Mrs. Stevens answered the summons and the missive to Mrs. Howland. Briefly, it. warnéd her not. to- ‘marry Thomas Hart—that the: writer was his lawful wife ad bad been for years. It was with a screech that-the unfortunate woman told the news 1o Mrs. Stevetis, who was at her side. e But she would pot believe it. It must/| be the work ‘of some enemy, she. said. Hart was tp arrive. shortly with the mar. riage license and.she would demand of bim an explanation. He was on hand a few minutes later and. when told of the missive that had just been received quietly admitted its authenticity. g : He did not seem to be concerned as much as one generally- would under such’ circumstances. He stated that his wife had been to the clerk’s office’ and headed him off from getting a license. - Hart then quietly left. This tended to make matters worse. Mrs. Howland became frantic and it was only with great difficulty that she could be quieted. The scoundrel who so basely deceived the unfortunate womsan is be- lieved to have had no intention of marry- ing her. His purpose in all probability was to gét possession of what little money she had earned and saved by nard work for many years. Sne-is an honest. and industrious woman. BShe is 42 years of age, and Hart is about the same. Thete are some who declare .their belief that Mrs. Hart was in complicity with her husband to rob the unfortunate woman. He was to make every effort to gef the money, even to go as far gs he did, and then the wife was to come upon the scene and prevent the marriage. However, if-this were the scheme,’ jt 'was not successful, for Mrs. Howland re- fused to let Hart have any of ber hard- earned money. It was learngd at the County Clerk’s office that Hart had made no .application for a marriage license and that. his wife had not appeargd there to prevent the is- suance of one. This bears out the supposition that he was carrying “out a scheme to get the womén’s money. % The Traveling Men’s Paper. The Pacific Coast Commercial Traveler has NEW TO-DAY.

The sessions are held 1n the Sen- ate chamber of the €apitol building. - The’ convention moved slowly during the fore: noon, but in the afternoon it warmed up. Boxes of fresh ‘and dried" fruits and nearly 4 hayrack full of mountain cherries on -branches' are displayed for free’ sampling. High tribute wes paid by the president’ in_ his annual addréss to the’ etficiency of the beawntiful lady.birds im- ported from - Australia in insect pests.. - SO D President Ellweod Cooper was in the chair, and during most of the day.on- either side of. him sat William Johnston of Sacramento and D. J.-Fowler of Fres- no, who were eiected vice-presidemts. N. B. Dé Long, sicretary of the State Horti- cultural Society, acted as ‘secretary of the convention. ~ About 100 fruit-growers are already in attendance. g An'invocation was offered.by Rev. A. C. Herrick of the Baptist churoh. * He prayed that favoring providence rest ou the- fruit-growers and give them wisdom ‘from whieh great prosperity might come ‘to. California, 5 aip st .He also invoke d the favor of the God of N ations in-behalf of the Cubane who were struggling for their liberty as did the fore- “tathers of this natign. ° g. E " Mayor Hubbard delivered an.address of welcome on behalf of the ciuizens of Sac- Tamento. He said that Sacramento, bsing in the midst of a great fruit-growing sec. tion, was deeply interested in the work of | the convention, for upon the success of the orchards did the prosperity of the city |' largely depend. ' It was.an easy thing to raise fruits in Galifornia, but to raise and market them profitably required wisaom, experience and co-operation. = “From experiments which athers have tried you can show our growers how to- avoid mistakes and. great losses. Tue fruit-growing industry has grown to such proportions in tiris State that legislation is needed, énd you are expected to prepare and present to the Legislatare these mat- ters, 80 that benéficial laws may be en- acted,” he gaid. In his annual address President Cooper said the removal of the-State Board from -|San. Francisco to Sacramento, where Leg- islators could be more conversant with the work, was believed advantageous. *The work of the board had progressed, -notwithstaading the lack of the usual as- .sistanee from the State. Many donations had been made and other assistance given, which wouid enable.the board to make'a creditable showing for the year. He suggested that the Legislature pass some radical law, against the growing “tramp danger.” o “ HThe beneficlal work,”” he said, ‘‘that bhas been.accomplished| by the ladybirds brought from Australia through the medipm of Albert Kvebele, the discoverer,. is of sufficient importance to justify fur-: ther expenditure in that direction, “As intelligent fruit-growers, it is our duty to continue investigation. The greatest loss to the cultivator is the de- struction of his crops by insect enemies. It has been stated that the annual loss by in<ect pests alone in the United States smounts to over $300,000,000. **Qur experience in fighting the Icerya Purchasii, commoply called the white cottony cushioned scale, and the Coccus Oleo, known as the black scale, should be sufficient to convince us of-our inapility to cope with these terrible pests. “Now/that we have a parasite, obtained by the expenditure of an insignificant sum, that will forever relieve us from any further fear of loss in this direction, we should be very derelict of duty to rest under the ° certainty of the approach of myriads ~ of other enemies that may be equally dangerous and may baffle all our efforts in artificial remedies to destroy them. In Santa Barbara County the fruit- growers = have practically’ abandoned ell spraying and fumigating, excépting a few persons who have continued to fight in this way for -want of {faith and Eutience. Results, however, wiil soon bring about a discontinuance for the reason that the orchards where the para- . | eties had increased about 100 walnuts, and all other besides citrus vari- per cent. The nation’s population had increased 7,000,000 in six years, and in 1895 the peo- ple ate twice as much California fruit as in 1890. All this, too, notwithstanding the hard times. : The consumption of fruit was about nine to ten pounds per capita. He thought that when prosperity returned the people would consume more fruit and | .possibiy"pay more for it. He advised the planting of diversified fruits, and spoke against the middieman being allowed to .control the price. He suggested that the growers stop worrying about the false question of overproduction, saying that the real question wasa com- ‘mercial one, and that the fruit-growers must stand or fall together. General Chipman’s paper was heartily appladded. 'W. H. Hammon, Forecast Official of San Francisco, delivered an address on the subject, ‘‘Protecting Orchards from Frost,” which was also applauded. His remarks are .émoodied in a'pam- phlet which the State Board of Horticul-| ture has already bad printed for distribu« tion under the title of bulletin No. 70. This subject brought out “more discussion than any other of the day. . It was participated in by ‘Colonel Berry of Visalia, G. F. Ditzler of ‘Biggs, Railroad Conimigsioner B. M. La Rue, N.

AN - IMPORTANT SALE A Long Line of Uncalled-For - Garments Being So'd at 40 4 .Per €ent.Discoint. The Columbian Woolen Mills, S. N. Wood & Co., Have Inaugurated a Sale on Eastern Pians. . Mr. Meyer Wood of the Columbian Woolen Mills, 8. N. Wood & Co., returned to this City from the East a few days ago, where he had been for the past month ar- ranging with his Eastern agencies for an extensive and novel sale of men’s clothing; which commenced on Monday at their bead workshop, 541 Market street, directly opposite Sansome, and which will be con- ducted on asystem gunite common in the Eastern cities, but hcretoiore unknown in California. The sale in question consists of uncalled- for garments, comprising a collection of suits and overcoats ot all descriptions and sizes, gathered from the Eastern branches oi the Columbian Woolen Mills, as weli as from the several agencies of the firm in San Francisco, Oakland and throughout this State. It is the custom of many of the large Eastern firms, with several branches, to hold a clearance sale once a year of garments that have been ordered and uncallea for, and the Columbian ‘Woolen Mills propose to inaugurate this system of yearly ciearances of their several stores throughout the country at their sites bave been colonized are better grown and produce more fruit and of finer ap- pearance than the orchards where spray- ing and fumigating have been resorted to.”’ President CooE:r recommended the em- ployment of Albert Koebele to visit every quarter of the earth where parasites which prey on and destroy the enemies of the products of the soil could be procured and that the fruit-growers should see that the Legislature made au :fgproprhtion. The Governor was with the fruit-growers, but both thought the growers should pay for the colonies of parasites sent to them The last few years had not been pro able ones to fruit-growers. He recom- mended that the growers unite and sell no {ruit to middlemen or anybody who did potgive a fair profit to the producer. He approved the idea of establishing houses in the East, managed by fruit- growers, and being independent of mid- dlemen: At the atternoon session the following committee, appointments by the chair, were announced : Resolutions—John Markeley of Sonoma, P. J. Shields of Sonoma, R. C. Kel; of Yuba City, B. E. Hutchinson of Fresno, P. B. Armstrong of Acampo. Legislation—B. F. Walton of Yuba City, Pro- fessor 8. M. Wood bridge o: Los Angeles, George ¥F. Ditzler of Biggs, H. P. Stabler of Yuba City, General N. P. Chipman o Red Bluff. Marketing, Iunlm’tlllnn and freight rates— H. Weinstock of Sacramento, F. H. Buck of Vacaville, W. B. Gester of Newcastle, D. T. Fowler of Fresno, William Johnston of Courtland, Sol Runyon of Courtland, H. P. Stabler of Yuba City, A. B'_ k of Santa Clars, J.A. Filcher of San Franc: 8 , Leonard Coates of Napa, John Rock of Niles. Favorable responses were read by the secretary from California members in Congress in regard to lending assistance to the memoriais passéd at the last conven- tion of the fruit-growers, urging the construction of the Nicaragua canal, and asking to share in the distribution of beet seed and tobacco seed. It was found that the distribution of the seed had peen stopped. General N. P. Chipman read an enter- taining as well as a valuable vaper on the nssigned topic: “Should Tree Planting Be Encouraged or Discouraged? If So, What Kinas, Varieties, etc.? He said that in the last six years ex- ports of fruit had doubled. The greatest increase was in citrus_fruits which had been trebled, with exception of | gis nead workshop, 541 Market street. Besides the many neat and’ nobby gar- ments which accumulate at their large storesiduring the year the lucky purchasers at clearance sales have the advantage also of a great reauction in prics, which of course 1s_allowed in order to facilitate a quick and complete sale. In speaking of sales of this character Mr. Meyer Wood of the Columbian Woolen Miils had the fol- lowing to sa; “It has been our custom to hold these clearance sales of uncalled-for goods each year in either one of our New York stores, but this year we have decided to conduct the sale in San Francisco and give the public here an opportunity they have never had before to purchase suits and overcoats of superior quality, as weil as of the finest workmanship, at a reduction of 40 per cent on the original price. The goods we are to sell accumulate on our hands by reason of various causes. They are clothes which have been ordered but never sold, for many reasons. Sometimes, for in- stance, we fail to finish a suit of ciothes, an overcoat, or some other garment on time, and if the purchaser refuses to com- plete the bargain he can, of course, do so, and this way it is left on our hands. Sick- ness and various other emergencies on the part of purchasers in a like manner leaves on our hands at the end of each year hun- dreds of garments, aud it is ior this rea- son we have adopted, as is the custom of other . large Eastern firms, these annual ciearance sales of uncalled-for suits, over- coats and other garments, which are sold 40 per cent below the original price.” —_————— Killed His Baby Brother.

T. Harris, thé Hegelian Scholar, Will Soon Be Here—He Will De- *liver Several Lectures. ° California will soon be honored with a somewhat prolonged visit and a number of philosophical lectures on educational topics by Lr. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, whois known all over the world as the greatest living Hegelian scholar. 5 The eminent educator will arrive i Berkeley on December 16 and will deiiver two or three lectures for the Philosopical Union, of which Professor Howison is president. The first lecture will be on December 18 and the otbers will follow sooun. Itis believed that his. discourses will prove even more interesting than were the famous lectures of Josiah Royce of Harvard last year. He is everywhere recognized as the king of Hegelian schol- arsand as the greatest of American edu- cators. It was for this reason that he was made Commissioner of Education for~the United States. During his sojourn in the Staie Dr. Harris will travel and study the prevail- ing educational system and will lecture at San Jose during the State Teachers' As- sociation, which will last from the 28th to the 31st. In addition to his regular educational work Dr. Harris has made a reputation as a writer on economics and social sci- ence. Hisreply to Henry George is re- garded as one of the ablest ever set forth 10 _answer to the single-tax idea. Dr. Harris attended Yale as a young man and afterward went West, spending fourteen years as Superintendent of Schools in St. Louis. . 1t was there that he made a worldwide reputation by reason of his erudition and originality while editing the Journal of Speculative Phil- osophy. He finally resigned his position and made his home in Concord, Mass., where he found a coneenial atmosphere for pursuing his philosophical investiga- tions. President Harrison npfiolnud him Na- tional Commissioner of Education and he has held that position ever since, being continued in office by President Cleveland. The Bureau of Education, under his direc- tion, has periormed a great deal of valua- ble work, undertaking exhaustive com- parative studies of American and Euro- pean educational methodsand disseminat- ing much valuable information. Since 1867 Dr. Harris has been editor of the Journal of Speculative Philosophy. He bas published a translation of the most important portions of Hegel’s Logic, and it is his commentary on a portion of this the U O©. Philosophical Union has been studying. THE HUDELSON TRIAL. Defendant Arraigned and the Case Set for Trial To-Merrow Morning. g On account of the absence of Georze A. Knight, the libel suit against B. F. Hudel- son, in which D. B. Woodworth is the complaining witness, was postyoned by Police Judge Campbell yesterday morn- ing until the same hour Thursday morn- ing Attorney Jordan made the excuses for Mr. Knight and wanted the case to go over for several weeks, but Juage Camp- bell declared that he Lad been waiting for Mr. Knight for a year in another case, and that he could not extend the same leniency in this. Judge Campbell also insisted that the defendant be arraigned by wg of saving time. Clerk O'Brien ordered Hudelson to stand up and began to read the complaint. That document was found to be written in form- |- : Her husband, Dr. | V',‘l:’\‘ [ .. There_has probably never been -3 phy- sician or surgeon in San Francisco who was s0 liberally patronized by the sick and suffering, and at the same time so highly praised by them, as the distinguished specialist, Doctor Cook, whose offices are permanently located at 865 Market stréet. His private consultation rooms are daily visited by people not only of San.Fran- ciseo, but from all over the West. They come from every station of life. Among them are bankers, lawyers, merchants, mechanics, ministers, farmers, laborers and literary gentlemen, many of whom have repeatedly sought relief from other physicians, and have repeatedly met with disappointments. i While they go to. Doctor Cook’ full o disease and despondency, they come away from him full of hope, confidence and joy, and feeling better in every way. From that very hour they begin to permanently improve. What the great specialist does to them,-or the kind of treatment he ad- ministers to them, is a secret known only to himself—a secret upon which his re- markable success is fourided. * | The vast volumes of testimonials in Doctor Cook’s possession are the strongest and most convincing proof of his ability to comibat and conquer all the different diseases that come within his spacialty. They show that he has cured numberless cases of female complaints, men’s private ailménts, rheumatism, chronic catarrh, blood and skin diseases and functional diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, stom- ach, kidneys, bladder and urinary organs. But Doctor Cook’s special treatment for lost madhood and its many attending ail- ments of physical, mental and sexnal weakness, is the crowning elory of nis pro-j fessional career. It is a treatment known to no other physician in Ameérica.

Itis purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effests. It does not stimulate temporarily, but restores’ permanently. Dauring the past fifteen months it has been tested on more than six { thousand young, middle-aged and old men, who, as the result of errors or excesses, were tortured by the woes of nervous de- bility or sexual decay. It has never yet failed, even in the worst of cases, to bring .back manly power and to remove eyery symptom of weakness. There are several .reasons why Doctor * Cook has won his way to the very front rank in the practice of rmedicine and sur- gery. All who consult him are‘satisfied with his fair, bonorable and uprightaeth- ods. His extensive experience, profound learning, and superb skill are also power- ful factors in his favor, but in addition to all this he is thoroughly equipped with every instrument and apparatus essential to the most modern methods of practice. His scientitic X-Ray examinations reveal wonders,.and his electrical appliances are the largest and most complate ever oper- ated on the Pacific Coast. Doctor Cook receives callers in his offices, at 865 Market street, each and every day from9t0124.x.and 2to5 and 7 to 8 p. x., except Sundays, when he may be consulted from 10 to 12 A.

Attoruney Jordan called the court’s attention to the fact, and said he thought the interpreter should be sworn. Judge Campbell then took the faulty document and himself slowly read it through. *‘This complaint will not hold,” said his Honor; ‘it dces not clearly specify a crime or the date of its commis- sion.” ‘Woodworth undertook to argue the mat- ter. He declared that it was only neces- sary in this preliminary proceeding to show that a crime had probably been committed, and declared t at the Su- preme Court had recently so decided. “It the Supreme Court says any such thing I shall have to overrule the Supreme Court,” said Judge Campbell. “That is the province of the Grand Jury. I shall undertake to go further into the merits of this case than that. At all events this com plaint is not gg 'd and a new one will have to be made before this case goes on. “That dismisses this case then,’” said Attorney Jordan. ! “No it does not,’”’ said Judge Campbell, “the exceptions to the complaint are taken by the court.” Turning to Wood- worth, however, he advised him to take out another warrant with the new com- plaint in order to Le safe. Following is the language of the com- plaint, as prepared by Woodworth, with ‘which the court found fault: At the times t0-wit between the 10th day of April and 10th day of sepiember, 1896, in the City ar.d at various times during the above specified times 1n the county of San Franeisco, State ofCalifornia, the crime of criminal libel was committed to-wit by B.
