THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1896. [l’;iHISTMAS ON THE WATER FRONT The Harbor Commission Employes Paid for December. A Seaman Lost Overboard From the American Ship Mav Flint, Stormy Voyage of the Simla—Failure of the M.xican Cedar-Log Trade. To-day a Christmas quiet will rest on the water front and nothing will be going on in the Lerbor but the tides and the tugs—the former because of the moon will move over the ocean, and the latter ‘because of the ships that must come into port. The wheels of industry on the docks will stand still and Jack and his cousin-german, the stevedore, will Test. The entire force of Harbor Commission ployes were pald off yesterday for the th of December. By this the men g&fiing their money a week in advance will be enabled to enjoy their holiday with generously filled purses. It was a practical manner of bringing “peace and good will” to many homes. L‘am._a:u Hall, the popular steamship commander, has been trsnsferred from the Yaquina to the Coos Bay and the cap- | tain of the Coos Bay exchanges with him. | The schoober Czar arrived from San | Blas, Mexico, yesterday with only a par- tial load of cedar logs. Her captain re- | ports that it was impossible to procure cargo, and the log industry on the Mex- ican coast appears to be on' the decline. The schooner Viking came in several days ago in the same t condition. The schooner Azalea also arrived from the north. She reports that December 11, | when fifty miles west of Cape Flattery, she experienced a heavy wind aud high sea, anda lost her spanker boom. At 9 o'clock last night the tug Sea Witch was reported outside with the British bark | Eivion, from Pisagua, awaiting orders. | The fine American ship May Flint ar- rived last evening from New York. The following is from the vessel’s log: Sailed July 21 with fair winde during the | first week, but followed by light and variable winds to the equator, which was crossed | August 27 in lougllude 28 west. Crossed lati- tude 50 south September 27, longitude 64 we! Passed through the Straits of Le-| maire September 29, and by Cape Horn Sep- | tember 30. Crossed 50 south in the Pacific in ngitude 89 west, and the equator November longitude 110 west. Arrived atthe bar San Francisco December 24 at 10 A. M. | ring the yoyage experienced s very heavy | ale in latftude 38.40 south, and longitude | 1.52 west, lasting two days. September 17 | and 18, at 11 P. M., A. F. Erikson. age 43 years, | a native of Finland, was lost overboard in | ceived bark Stanmore, the last of the fleet owned October 2 a succession of heavy westerly gales commenced lasting nine days. The British ship Simla came in from Liverpool last evening, saiiing from that port August 12. September 25, in latitude 34 south, longitude 47 west, the vessel was struck by a very heavy gale. Beveral ter- rible seas were shipped, which disabled five of the crew and generally damaged affairs about the decks. October 2, in lati- tude 45 south, longitude 52 west, they | caught a very heavy west-northwest gale, shipped several heavy seas, washed away the pig’s house and stove in the forecastle doors and washed the hoats off the for- ward ekids. The ship labored heavilyand the decks were constantly filled to the rail, the heavy seas going completely over the ship. October 5, in latitude 48 south, longitude 54 west, had a very heavy gale from the northwest, with a very cross, confused sea, the ship rolling her rails under water and shifting the cargo. It was impossible to walk on deck and the crew had to break through the sail locker to get into the hold to secure the cargo. These gales lasted until October The following items rezarding vessels and shipmasters well known at this port are taken from private mail advices re- from Liverpco: yesterday: The by W. J. Meyers’ Sons & Co. of Liverpool, has been soid by that gentleman to Mr. Thomas of North Wales, the price obtained being £9050 or £800 more than was ob- tained for her sister ship, the Swanmore, which was recently sold. Both vessels were built at Belfast in 1886 and there was only two tons difference in their gross tonnage. Captain E. W. Nick- els, late of the Stanmore, has been ap- pointed master of the British ship Yeo- man, which recently changed hands. Captain Collister, who has been running to this poft for many years and was well known as the master of the Cormorant and Pizarro, has been pensioned off by ‘W. T. Myers at £200 per year for the rest ot his life, He has been in the service of his employers, who thus recognize his worth, }z))r thirty-two years, serving under grandiather, son and grandson. COST OF BIG TUNNELS. Striking Result in the Case of the One Through Cascade Mountains. A recentiy published item relative to the comparative cost of the world’s four great tunnels places the cost of the Hoosac tun- nel, in the United States, the oldest one of the lot, at £76, or about $380, a foot, saysthe New York Times. The Mount Cenis tun- nel, the next in date, cost, according to the sa item, £71, or about $355, a foot; ibe St. Gothard cost £46, or $230, a foot, and the Arlberz, the latest in date, cost only £31, or $155 a foot. This rapid de- crease in cost, within comparatively few | years, is cited as & marked indication of the great progress in mechanical methods and improvement in rock-excavating tools. A still more striking result exists in the case of a tunnel through the Cascade ntains, on the line of the Northern fic Railroad, In the TUnited States. , unlike those named, which were ex- cavated in the old-settied countries, with the terminal easy of access, was in a pecu- liarly difficult location, so much so that it took months to convey the machinery to the spot. Rivers hrad to e turned aside, bridges built and material transported over improvised roads through. nearly 100 miles o1 forest, mud and snowfieids, yet the tunnel, which is 1614 fe t wide, 22 feet high and 8950 feet long, was bored through the mountain in twenty-two months, at the rate of 413 feet a month, and at a cost for the completed tunnel of only £24 or about $120 a foot. mou The first mention of the Siamese is by latitude 56.40 south and longitude 71.49 west.

Wothing is more noticeable in recent architecture than the increased use of terra cotta and Roman brick in modern buildings. The life of these is beyond computation, while that of stone is com- paratively short-lived. The front of the new Spreckels market isentirely of terrs cotta, being the first building of that kind on the coast. This valuable material is also employed in the Clark building, Smith Cash Store, the Spring Valle: Water Works and the Gas nndgEiectriz companies’ buildings. In Los Angeles it is used in the Van Nuys, Le Grand, Byrne and Boston dry- goods buildings. In San Diego terra cotta 1s employed in the new Marston building, and in Santa Cruz in the courthouse. The terra-cotta used in these magnifi- cent modern buildings was furnished by the Gladding, McBean & Co. factory at Lincoln, a cut of which is given above. It is the largest on the coast.’ This firm, which has done so much for home industry, is a large employer of labor and is steadily extending its field of ‘concluded orntiona. It has but recen the purchase of the large terra-cotta works at Vallejo. Faimgts N\ | HEALTH BOARD'S POWER, Dr. J. F. Morse on the Necessity for Its En’argement and Increase. Great Work Done by the Board in Checking Evils That Might Breed Epiiemics, A CaLn reporter had a talk with Dr. John F. Morse yesterday with reference to the public discussion which has taken place recently regarding the differencs of opinion between the Board of Health and the Supervisors as to the powers of the Health Board in sanitary matters, more particularly in times of public danger. The doctor is a member of the Board of Health and is surgeon to the German Hospital, The doctor was disinclined at first to speak, because of a desire not to violate the ethics of the profession, but on being urged consented to give some reasons why the powers of the Board of Health should be increased and enlarged rather t' an re- stricted. His experience in the Board of Health ana otherwise had convinced him that the health laws are not as complete as they should be in order to ensure greater efficiency to the efforts of the board. One of the most important of all needed laws was one requiring the inspection of tenement-houses. In New York City there is such an act, and it bas done a good deal of good In preventing the rise and spread of typhus and other disorders which often become epidemic. The only obstacles in the way of improving the sani- tary condition of the City are legal ones, and there is but very little encouragement for the members of the board to do good work for the City. Dr. Morse was enthusiastic in praise of his colleagues on the board and of their earrestness and the arduous work they perform, particularly of their efforts to stamp out tuberculosis in cattle. The whole country has been aroused to action by their efforts, he said. The board bad done a vast deal of work that did not ap- pear on the surface in the way of prevent- ing epidemios and in removing many of the causes not only in the Chinese quarter but elsewhere. Among the most important work of the hoard is the ambulance system _estab- lished by it, as well as the inspecting sta- tions for milk and meat. By reason of the work of these food inspecting stations much gerious disease had been prevented, and localities formerly regarded as un- healthy had become healthy and habit- able., Rigorousand unremitting attention to the slightest details of sanitary regula- tions were required to prevent the incuba- tion of disease. The general public have not yet learned to appreciate the importance of sanitary inspection and regulation, added the doc- tor; but this knowiedge is coming to them more and more with the publication of the many important innovations in the scientific feld ADOLPHUS G RUSS The subject of this sketch, Mr. Adolphus G. Russ, was born in Germany in 1826. In 1835 Mr. Russ’s father moved bis family to New York. Mr. Adolphus Russ gladly joined with his father in his desire to go to California, 50 in 1848 he landed here with the famous Stevenson’s Regiment, and began what has been an honorable, upright and useful career. An hour spent in conversation with Mr. Russ brings forth reminiscences of pionee: life that mcke the listener feel an admi tion for the heroic souls who were the foundation of this glorious State, and of whom Mr. Adolphus G. Russ was a cen- tral figure. —————— ELECTRIC DOORS. Ingenious Mechanism Applied to the Entrance of a Public Building. The city bas a new plaything in the form of the electric doors at the Dwight- street entrance to the new City Market. These doors are one of the chief attrac- tions of the market, judging from the streams of people who keep passing in and out of the entrance just to have ‘‘se- same open.” These doois are the only electric doors in use this side of Chicago, and many will undoubtedly find them worth coming miles to see. Asone steps on to the wire mat at the entrance and sees the huge door open swiftly but noise- lessly before him he thinks that he has in- deed touched the mainspring of life. If one person is following another the door, being in the act of closing, does not, like the ordinary door, slam in one’s face, but gently recedes from whatever position it may have reached, and the passage is clear until the person or persons have passed through. When there are enough passers to fill the doorway both doors stand wide open, apparently lifeless, but when the last person is through the por- tals close in a twinkling. The mechanism and method of opera- tion of the door is thus: A handsome cabinet over the doorway on the inside of the building contains the electric motors, magnets, clutches, etc. Through the bot- tom of this cabinet depend arms, one.con- necting each wing with its corresponding motor mechanism and through which the poweris nfpued to move it. Through the doorway 1s spread an electric mat con- nected by wires with the electric mechan- ism in the cabinet. The doors being in a closed position, stepping upon the mat closes the circuit through one or more of the many metal circuit closers, causing the armature of the mat magnet to be de- pressed and an electric switch connected with it to turn a current through the clutch magnet, releasing the pulley upon which is wound the belt through which the motor closes the door, and the springs pull the door open. Upon stepping from the mat the circuit is broken through the mat magnet, ana consequently the switch attached to its armature cuts the current out of the clutch magnet, leaving the belt pulley secured to its shaft, and the motor current is turned on. The motor revolves and winds the door shut,at the same time winding up the springs that are to open the door for the next operation. One of the most mys- terious things about the whole thing is that standing upon the same spot on the mat ai one time controls one door, at an- other the other, depending upon the posi- tion of the doors and whether one is en- tering or leaving the building. When the doors are closed no current is used and the cost of operation is extremely small. Each door is provided with an ingeniously devised guard that directs to the right- hand side, thus protectini from the other wing opening should a passer approach from the opposite side to leave the build- ing while you are entering. The invent- ors are Oiiver H. Hicks and Robertus T. Troy of Chicago.—Springfield Republican. MODERN METHODS. The undertaking establishment of J. 8. Godeau, 305 Montgomery avenue, stands among the bhighest in this community for thorough equipmentand reliable methods. It has been established ten years, and dur- ing that time has conducted some of the most important funerals in this City. ‘Among others might be mentioned that of Charles Mayne from the Palace, Tojetti, Esperance and Supervisor Jackson. Mr. Godeau has made a thorough and special study of embalming, in which he has had signal success, and holds a diploma for proficiency from Dr. Clark. AN He does a large snipping business and has valued testimonials regarding the satisfac- tory condition of bodies on arrival at their destination, Mr. Godeau is funeral direc- tor tor the French Hospital and is always selected for the responsible position of treasurer of the French celebrations. He is a Native Son and a member of twenty-six fraternal societies. He takes an intelligent interestin public affairs and is influential in local politics. Although widely popular Mr. Godeau has never aspired to office, devoting his time to his “large business, which he conducts on care- ful and conscisntious principles, ———————— THE WOMAN'S LUNCHEON. What a Famous Cook Has to Say on Its Bad Qualities. Frankly I confess that now I regard the stereotyped ladies’ luncheon as a bore, be- sides being an insult to any sensitive stomach, writes Kate Sanborn in the Bos- ton Cooking School Magazine. Who among you will dare to start a reform and ask a few friends to a really simple but appetizing meal ol only three courses. The prozramme must be compvlete, from oysters to black coffee and cordials, whether the husbend feels it an un- necessary tax, or the cook is over- burdened, or some of the guests, dazed by the splendor of glass, silver, china and linen, feel depressed if not envious, and wish they could make an equal display. What a dangerous medley to digest, lob- ster salad and icecream, sorbet and boil- ing hot coffee, rich pasiries, candies, nuts, olives, patties, game, jellies, and — you know all, When first settled in a pretty apartment or flat of my own I naturally desired to lunch and dine the friends who had for years so generously entertained me. Oh, fow foolish my expensive struggles! hate to look back on my fail- ures. At last a man who was a noted diner-out had the courage to show me my mistakes. He said: ‘‘Now don’t get angry with an old fellow for plain speak- ing. Don’t try to get up any more din- ners, You can never do it. It’s a life- long -art and takes years of experience and a long purse. I would rather drop in and see you natural and jolly and at ease, if you offered stewed kidneys and potatoes with their jackets on. Yourdishes that should be hot are not hot enough and what should be cold is not ice cold. Do be sensible.” 'Twasa hard biow to conceit and ambition but I swal- lowed the good advice. I saw myself as others were seeing me and I have never ouce since imitated the frog in the old fable who tried to emulate the proportions of the ox. All of us eat too muck. I have known several overworked, brilliant professional men overcome by vertigo and alarming symptoms of apoplexy or paralysisat a dinner table after too hearty and varied a meal. If nothing worse comes we give ourselves dyspepsia, indigestion, gout and obesity. One Boston doctor ac- tually was obiiged to resort to the stomach pump to relieve a fashionable young lady from e¢onvulsions, becanse she would eat all goodies at luncheon—could not deny her appetite. On the other hand I equally dislike a limited amount of food and a superabundance of style and silver, where thin and undersized sand- wiches are tied up with narrow ribbons in difficult knots and all is hard to obtain and meager 1n quantity.

Patients Can Have Their Owé Phy- sician and Also the Advantages of the Waldeck. The Waldeck Sanitarium, located at 717 Jones street, is one of the most popular institutions of its kind in San Francigeo. The idea of its owners is to bring together under one roof every aid in the treatment of surgical and medical cases and at the same time to furnish more of the comforts of a home thatare not to be found in the ordinary hospital. With the building constructed especially for their needs, with a model system of heating and venti- lating, with operating rooms scientifically correct, solarium, roof garden and many minor conveniences for the comfort of pa- tients, it is no wonder that the institution is regarded as the best private hospital on the Pacific Coast. The medicated baths, including sulpur baths, vapor, hot air and mud baths, are among the special 'fea- tures. The for sanitarium accommo- dations are entirely separate from profes- sional fees, and every patient is at liberty to choose his own physician and to be treated by him while enjoying all the ad- vantages of the sanitarium. The Institu- tion has well earned the success and pop- ularity that have attended it since its com- mencement. AN EXPERT'S BUGGESTIONS. How Judge Dibble Would Amend a Defective Law. “I have been a strong opponent of the so-called Australian ballot system,” said ex-Judge Henry C. Dibble to a CALL re- porter yesterday, ‘‘for the reason that it was not designed so much to secure the secrecy of the ballot, as was pretended, as to disintegrate and destroy the great political parties. Iam not opposed to an official ballot, and I believe the law can be amended 8o as to remove its more ob- jectionable featur:s and make it effective, particularly if a good primary law can be secured.” Ex-Judge Henry O. Dibble has been elected to the Assembly for the third time from the Forty-first District, out at the Pacific Heights, where some prominent erson is always chosen for legislative onors. The Judge, who is in the full prime of life, is a man of large experience in public afinirs. a veteran of the Civil War and a forcible, earnest and eloquent speaker. There can be no doubt that he will be a very prominent figure in the Assembly. As chairman of the Ways and Means Committee during the session of 1891 he exhibited a knowledge and grasp of the finances and needs of the public institu. tions that won him universal praise. ——————— MR. BEECHER'S SLAVE SALE. Thrilling Object-Lessons on Slavery in ilymouth Pulpit. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher writes in the Ladies’ Home Journal of ‘““When Mr. Beecher Sold Slaves in Piymouth Puipit,”” and thus describes the sensation created by the sale of S8arah, which occurred on June 1, 1856: *"The solemn, impressive silence of that vast Plymouth assemblage was absolutely painful as a young woman siowly ascended :he stairs leading to the pulpit and sank into a chair by Mr. Beecher’s side. Instantly assuming the look and manner of a slave auctioneer he called for bids. ‘Look,’ he exclaimed, ‘at this marketable commodity—human flesh and blood like yourselves. You see the white blood of her father in her regular features and high thoughtful brow. ho bids? Yon will have to pay extra for that white blood, because 1t is aupg?sel to give intelligence. Stand up, Sara Now look at her trim figure and her wavy hair l—how much do you bid for them? She is sound in wind and limb—I'll warrant her! Who bids? Her feet and hands—hold them out, Sarah!—are small and finely formed. What do you bid for her? Sheisa Chris- tian womun—I mean a praying nigger— and that makes her more valuable, be- cause itinsures her docility and obedience to your wishes. ‘Servants obey your mas- ters,’ you xnow. Well, she believes in that doctrine, How much for her? Will you allow this praying woman to be sent back to Richmond to meet the fate for which her father sold her? If not, who bias? Who bids?"’ The congregation was wronght to the highest pitch of excitement; women grew hysterical, and men wers greatly wrought up. Some one near the pulpit lald a banknote at Mr. Beecher’s feet. Then the contribution baskets were passed, and for half an hour money and jewelry were heaped into them, ‘omen took off their bracelets, brooches and rings and put them in the baskets, and men unfastened their watches and handed them to the ushers. Mr. Beecher’s voice, in the tone of an aunctioneer, rang out, *‘In the name of Christ, men and women, how much do you bia?’ The people were stirred beyond ex- pression, and one of the eondxregnlon arose and said that whatever deficiency (in tl rice demanded for Sarah) there existed above the collection would be made up by several gentlemen, memboers of the church. “Then you are free, Sarah,’’ cried Mr. Beecher turning to the girl beside him, and the audience broke into the wildest demonstration of enthusiastic ap- plaunse, and quiet was not restored for sev- eral minutes. The collection left no de- ficiency. Instead, enough money to buy Sarah’s freedom, $1200, besides sufficient to purchase her a comfortable home, had been raised. NEW TO-DAY. A L.

KNEW SIR WALTER. An 01d Lady Whose Worldly Circum- stances Have Sadly Changed. At the Home for Deaconesses (Metho- dist Episcopal) and office of the World’s Missionary Society there is being tempo- rarily lodged an elderly lady, whom the superintendent of the home, Mrs. Emma Turney, took in under stress of circum- stances recently, and whose disposal is becoming a matter of perplexity. The venerable woman in question is a Mrs.;Truro, who appears to have been of a very good family 1n Scotland and married wealthily in this conntry, but has sur- vived family, friends and kin, until she is now practically friendless and helpless in her declining years. BLTo a Ledger reporter Mrs, Truro related that'she was born and raised at Jedburg, the couaty-seat of Roxburg, Scotland, and that her husband. a wealthy citizen of New Orleans, went down with the other ill-fated passengers on the Evening Star some thirty years ago. Not alone her manner and conversation are intelligent and refined, but the contents of her trunk and 'the character of the literature she has clung to denote culture. “Sir Walter Scott,” she said to the reporter, “'was a famillar figure in_my fath- er's house. My father, Mr. Rutherford, was Mayor of Jedburg for twelve years, and a great friend of the novelist. Many a time Sir Walter took me on his knee and called me his bairn, and his dog Madie and I were great chums,” Mra. Truro spgke affectionately of the late Wil- liam D. Helley of this dzs. and said it was the Judge who introduced her husband to Lincoln, who became very friendly with her husband. Of late years her own means had become entirely exhausted, and she was dependent entirely upon $30 a year, which she recelved from a Masonic lodge, being the daugnter of one Mason and the wife of another, and this sum she paid for as remt of a room. A week or two ago she was threatened with dispossession, and it was while she was in these straits that Mrs. Turney encountered her. The latter has made some effort to raise a fund to tranfer Mrs, Truro toa suitable institution, but has not succeeded in getting more than one-tenth of the necessary amount—$200—and recoils from the idea of placing the old lady as a pub- lic charge.—Philadelphia Ledger.
