SHOT HOMING PIGEONS. ‘Wanton Cruelty That May Cripple a Useful Industry. OAKLAND, CAvn., Jan. 15.—John Mole of the Latham Terrace pigeon loft reports scme wanton craelty by pothunters which is likeiy to compel the abandonment of the homing races which have been con- ducted by the California H ming Club. Mr. Mole sent twenty-tive birds to San Jose last Tuesday to flv to this city pre- liminary to the Loming race to take place in connection with the Pacifie poultry show which opens here in a few days. OFf this number only fourgot home, the most of the others being shot down by pot- hanters. g One of the test-known pigeons; known as Cock E 111, flew home and through the trap into the loft with both legs broken by shot. The bird was so badly wounded that it had to be kiiled. The endurance of the bomer pigeon thus mangled shows its persistency. This bird was a valuable thoroughbred Belgian and pigeon fanciers say it may be necessary to pass a bill pro- viding a penalty for shooting homing pigeons. Trustee W. D. Leydecker of Alameda, an enthusigstic fancier, loosed thirty birds recently which he was training for tne Sacramento race and only one of the number reached home. In the Sacra- mento race of last Monday out of 300 birds set out oniy twenty-live came through ali e o University Holiday.

OAKLAND, Caw, Jan. 15.—Bow Sang, the nesa cook at the Wheaton resi- dence, was arrested to-day on suspicion o stealing jewels belon+ing 1o Mrs, Wheaton of the vaiue of $1000. The arti- cles were missed yesterday and it.was ttiought a burelary had been committed, but it is now claimed that the Chinese is the guilty party. H. F. Goff, 3.W. Wat: manner of germs that are bad—microbes, tubercule insects and miasmatic odors— have been wafted over the marsh by the! breezes from the bay into the windows and doors of the residents of that part of | town. But the end is now in sight. At last the desired end has been gained, and the Colonel has probably been’ advised by | telegram in the East by the West Oak- land Improvement Club that the marsh is doomed. Nothing has rejoiced the citizensof that section so much as the knowledye of the fact that the City Council purchased last night two blocks of marsh land for the purpose of a public park. The site of this park is almost in the middle of the marsh, and will be at once filled in and planted with trees and flowers that will make all manner of pleasant perfume. For thirty. years millions of people from.all parts of the country have passed over the overland road across this marsh on their way to San Francisco, and the opinion prevails that the horrible, 1ll- smelling sight 1s a typical specimen of the city on this side of the bay. A few months ago the railroad company, acting in unison with the West Oakland Im- provement Club, filled in a small ortion of land near the Sixteenth-street depot, and this is being planted for a starter. An ordinance has recently gone into effect compelling scavengers to cease dumping on the marsh, and this is an- other step toward purifying West Oak- land. Now that theland is bought, there is nothing in the way of the immediate progress of that section. Surrounding the park site, which con- sists of eleven acres, are about fifty-five acres more, and it is So arranged that the whole territory will probdbly be filled in at the same time. The West Oakland Improvement Club will arrange for a grand demonstration as soon as work on the park site commences. H0T LEARKED 10 TLK, Mrs. ‘Carmen Schwartz Is the Most Childish Woman on Record. 908 Broadway, Jan. 15, The most childish woman and mother that has come before the courts of this county is Carmen Peralta Schwartz. Shs is 26 vears of age and has one child, but is so simple that Judge Greene only per- mitted her husband to become her guardian on the condition that he would place her in some institution where she could be educated enough to enable her to act with discretion. Mrs. Schwartz is unfortunate enouch to be the owner of an estate valued at about $18000. When on the witness-stand Judge Greene could not believe that she was reaily unable to answer his simple questions. She did not know her name if she. saw it, could not add even the sumplest figares, did not know how old she was, and, in fact, could tell the court nothing but that she knew she cared for_ber little child. 5 ‘When ber case was in court a few months ago Judge Greene severely repri- manded ber husband for not doing any- thing toward improving the. mental con- dition of his wife. Some of the court’s re- marks conveyed more than a hint that Schwariz might not be anxious for his wife to know 100 much. Since giving the OAELAND OFFICE SAx FrANcisco CALL.} promise to educate her Schwartz has neg- iected to keep it. A few wéeks ago he appeared in court with a request to draw money from his wife's estate. Judge Greene reprimanded him, and stated that he would entertair 8 motion tor voke the letters and appoint a néw guardian. To- day Constable C. F. Weldon filed a peti- tion to be.appointed gusrdian in the place of Schwartz. Since his marriage Schwartz has got into trouble by the too free use of his knife, and bis " trial for assauiting W. H. Whipple with a deadly weapon is now pending.

Hynes, Alex Ros- borough and A. P. Smiley handled the tambos, while Messrs. Bob Mitchell, James Swinnerton and H. ¥. Sheldon did the bones with perfection. The musical part of the programme opened with a chorus by the entire company and was followed by Mr. Haynes, who sang ‘‘Shall We Ever Be Able to Fly?” Then “That Melody Divine” was sung by R. I.

' 5.—The Encinal" Believing that a knowledge of -the man- ner in which switches or calls from one eubscriber to another are made by the young lady operators of the company will be interesting and of benefit to our sub- scribers, we. give in this article, in lan- guage as free from technicalities as such deseription will admit, the means and method by which all calls are made and answered. % We would first like to say that no tele- phone system now exists or will ever. be devised which will be either automatic or free from constantly recurring troubles. A gas conrpany, a water company or an elecir.c light comyany, after its system is once instatied, has but to pump-supplies into the mains and -ts patrons tap off such quantity as may be desired. Every telephone subscriber, however, must have an individual medium of supply in the shape of a separate pair of .wires running from his residence or office on exposed poles (where they must be protected from the electric light currents and induction), thence underground through frequently miles of streets to the central orone of the branch offices. Here they are equipped with s number of small devices, ail of which are essential, and are then termi- nated at the switchboard within reach of thie operator. Remember further that all this mechan- ism, which is necessarily very fine, is con- stantly in motion during the greater part of the waking hours, and to a limited ex- tent, all night. This continues 365 days in the year, so it is apparent that (he wear and tear upon the larzer part of the sys- ter, which is common to the use of -all subscribers, is very great, and in spite of thé utmost ¢ and unremitling atten- tion, interruptions in subscribers’ circuits will sumetimes oceur. The ielephone statistics of the United States,which have been carefully kept, in- dicate that San Francisco has the most rapid service of any large city, and the service troubies are less. We make no comparison with European cities, as but few of them make -any effort to give quick connections, and the plants, as a rule, be- ing operated by various governments, lit- tle atteniion is. paid to complaints. SWITCHING APPARATUS, The switchboard, on which the sub- scribers’ lines terminate at the central and branch offices, is a long upright structure divided into sections of about turee feet wide, each sectfon being the end of from fiity to 150 subscribers, according as the lines are frequently usei or otherwise. Each pair of lines terminates in a small shutter (the office of which is to fly up and expose a number), a minute incan- descent lamp and an orifice into which a plug can be inserted. E.ich section is also provided with a large number of plugs attached by flexible cords to pairs of wires running to each section of every other switchbonrd in the City, whether in the main or branch office. Two young ladies sit at each section wearing a very light tefephone at one ear and having just in front of their faces a suspended telephone transmitter, thus leaving both uands free. One of the young ladies answers only the signals of subscribers who call the office, with whom she talks direct, and the other connects to and rings up these same subscribérs when they are called for by some one else. Each young lady at- tends strictly to her particular duty and does not interfere with the work of her associate. METHOD OF SWITCHING. A subscriber takes biis telephone from the hook and puts it to his ear. Instantly the miniature lamp attached to his line on the office switchboard lights and the little shutter flies up, disclosing his number. The young lady at once inserts a piuz 1nto his line and says “Number.” Upon re- ceiving the same she immediately con- nects with the operator having the sub- scriver called for, telling her the number wanted, and the latter completes the con- nection and rings the subscriber's beil. The act of ringing the subscriber's bell always lights a small lamp, which con- tinues to burn until the telephone called for is taken off the nook; it then goes out. When a subscriber terminates a tele- phone conversation and hangs up his ’phone a red lamp lights in the office, and the young lady pulls out the plug and the switch is finished without the operator hearing any of the conversation except when she comes on the line to ask for the number. - All of this is very simple, and if the calls were eyvenly distributed over the working hours of the day, the young lady operators would be havpy in their calling and our subscribers would commend our service without stint, but unfortunately at times a number of subscribers, some- times five, sometimes ten, whose lines ter- minate in the same section will have oc- casion to call the office at precisely the same instant, and then it is the young lady, unless she is very experinced and cool headea, becomes agitated and con- fused, for she knows that the impatient gentleman whaom she answers last, al- though only thirty or iorty seconds may elapse, is apt to ind _fault with the delay. In order to meet this difficulty we have| What is called the overflow switch-board, and if the calis in a section come in so rapidly that it is impossible for the girl to handle them, she simply plugs those to which she cannot attend into this over- flow through lines provided for the pur- pose, and here they spread out among a number of young fadies who sit all day waiting for such_splashes from the busi- ness waves. After reading this a sub- scriber will be conscious that his call is overfl wed by a slicht delay in the in- uiry for the number and two or three ?hh‘p clicks which precede it. From the overflow board the process is the same as trom the subscribers’ sections just ex- plained. . Now it is a fact that ninety out of -every 100 calis are received, connected up and disconnected without any loss ot time whatever; the other teh come to us in times of rush and‘are subject to a slight delay. Furthermore, most of our opera- tors will get & little contused if the rushes are long continued, and perhaps make the wrong connections, neglect the signal to disconnect, or make an error *in the num- ber. If this oceurs frequently wish the same girl we have to -dispense with her services, and it is sometimes pitiful, ior it 15 usually those that try hardest and have urgent need of the positions who are most troubied in this way. Our best operators leave from time to time and we have a class of new ones constantly in practice, buta great many never acquire neediul coolness and self-reliance. It occurs to us that many of our patrons who may be required to wait for half a minute will do <o more patiently if they fully understand the cause thereof, and realize that it is not inattention or neglect on the part of theoperator. Itis toac- complish such purpose that this article is published, - Pacrric TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH Co. e _Seavengers May Boycott.
