Measures Which Have Passed the As- sembly of Imporiance to Sportsmen. Word was received yesterday at tne office of the Fish Commission in this City of the pussage of several bills of 1mport- ance to sportsmen through the lower house of the Legislature. In most in- stances these are amendments and modi- fications of the old laws. Under the old law robins may be killed four months in the year, but under the amendment these preity creatures are included with Culi- fornia canaries and song birds that are protected from slaughter at all vimes. The open season for doves has been aliered so that it extends from Julr 15 to February 15. At present the open season begins on July 1. The law prohibiting the killing of pheasants has been carried to March 1, 1899. An important change has been made relating to the killing and selling of game birds. At present game birds can be killed for four months, but game cannot be sold excent for two months, Now the season ior killing and the season for selling are identical. The deer law is materially altered. The pos- session of deer, except that of male deer, in the open season is prohibited. At pres- ent the offender has to be actually cauebt 10 the act of slaying these animals before a couviction can be bad. For the proteciion of fish the new law | prohibits the taking of black bass except by a hook and line. The taking of lobsters and crawfish “‘of less than nine and a halt inches in length, measured from one extremity to the other’ exclusive of claws, ., is prohibited. The buying, selling or possession of female crabs is unlawiul. measure is directed against the Chinese particularly, as these fishermen take all kinds and all sizes. A change has been made in the open season for trout. Instead of being open from Aprill to Novemberl, it will be from May 1 to December 1. The close season for steelheads will be from February 1 to May 1 and the close geason for salmon from September 10 to November 15, with the provision that salmon may be taken in tidewaters after October 15. This is to protect the salmon in tie upper as well as the lower rivers during the spawning season. The tidewaters are defined as follows: In the Sacramenio River as extending from 1ts mouth to Sacramento city; in the San Joaquin to the Soutbern Pacific_Rail- road bridge, near Lathrop; in Eel River. Humbolat County, to east ferry above the town of Fortuna; in the Klamath River to a point on the river north of the resi- dence of J. McGarvey; in Smith River, Del Norte County, to Haggins ferry. —_— Von Ehein & Co.’s Auctlion. The initial auction of 0.

Joell, who keeps a lodging-house at 910 Natoma street, swore 10 & complaint in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday charging Frank Montgomery with peity larceny. Mont- gomery and his wife roomed and boarded with Joell till they were due him $30. Joell pro- cured a lien on their effucis for the $50, and they left, promising to psy the amount soon. Wednesday, while Joell was absent from the house, Montgomery removed his effects, and he is now charged wiih stealing what belongs to himself. |1t Was COOED N COMFORT ON A DOORSTEP Officer McLaughlin Makes a Startling Morning Discovery. an Abandomed but Bouncing Baby Girl: Four Days 0.d. The Child Has Alre:dy Secured One Home and Many Others Are Open to Her. Officer McLaughlin is responsible for the introduction of & wee bit of girthood into society. His method, however, dif- fors widely from those of Ed Greenaway, but then it is because they travel on dif- ferent beats. McLaughlin was patrolling Steunart The Doorstep Waif. street early yesterday morning, when he heard a child’s voice in a dark doorway. He approached carefully, and in a recess in front of No. 11}, out of the rain, be discovered a snug bundle of kicking hu- manity, It was a four-day-old little girl, comfort- ably clothed and apparently in good health. Attached to the jacket was the follow- ing note: 8N FRAXCISCO, Jan, 27, 1897. This child was born January 25at9A. M.

The babe was immediately taken to the Receiving Hospital and then was placed in cbarge oi the Rev.J. W. Daniels of Sacramento, who is assistant superintend- ent of the Children's Home-finding So- ciety of California. This gentleman soon found a baven for the child in a private family, but it is de- sirable not to mention where. In speak- ing of the babe, he said: “It is our desire that all little waifs com- ing_under our charge should break off entirely from the past from the moment they come into our hands. “This unfortunate little one will never know any more than we know now of her parents, who, by abandoning it as they have, have forfeited all right to it. *‘We have given the poor little girla nice, comfortable home. ‘fo be sure, so far as we can see at this time, the home is but a temporary one, one which may be- come permanent. However, within a fow weeks or months we will know better, and if the people who have her now care to relinquish their charge there are many il MRS. RHODA C.

Time, 1:38Ye | On Tueeday, January 26, the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Rhoda C. Luce, was celebrated by a reception at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Annte J. Lambert, on Devisadero street. The parlors were tastefully decorated with choice flowers. Many presents and floral offerings testified to the esteem in which the old lady is Leld. Mrs. Rhoda C. Luce was born at Marthas Vineyard, Mass., January 26, 1807. She came to California in 1872and has resided here ever since. Mrs. Luce is the mother of tight children, two of whom are living—a son and a daughter. Mrs. Luce comes from an old and illustrious New England family. One of the pleasing diversions of the afternoon was a vocal duet by Mrs. Rhoda Luce and ber sister, Mrs. Hepsa Cottle, who has reached the age of 88. During the evening a poem dedicated to Mrs, Rhoda Luce by S. R. Wiley, aged 85 years, was read. Vocal selections were rendered by Mme. Waltz, Mrs. Homer Henley, Miss Aggie Cnilds of Oakland and Miss Dora Culvor. Master Prentice Evans gave a recitation ana danced the fisher’s hornpive. The hostess was assisted in receiving the guests by Mrs, Captain George F. Morehouse, a daughter-in-law; Mrs. J. J. Evans, a cousin,and Mrs. Frank Dag- gett, also a cousin. Mrs. Rhoda C. Luce was assisted in entertaining the guests by her sister, Mrs. Hepsa Cottle, Mrs. Mary Luce of Healdsburg, Cal., and Mrs. Culvor, the grandmother 03 Mrs. Captain Morehouse, warm hearts and comfortable homes ready to receive her.” As the Rev. Mr. Daniels was saying the above a well-dressed and apparently wealthy lady from Oakland, accompanied by her maid, dropped into the office. *Is this where the little babyis?’ she asked, with some perturbation. *I've just come from the Keceiving Hospital, and they told me to come bere.” “No, madam; the child is not here. It is being cared for at private home.” The woman was much put out. *I wanted to see it,” she said, “‘and perhaps I would adopt it.” That lady’s name and address have been booked in’ the “'want column,” and she will be one of the first on the list for the next stray waif. The police are at a loss to know who are the parents of the child. JUDGE BREEN CORRECT. His Claim of Di.quaiification to Try a Caso Upheid by the Supreme Court. A decision was handed down by the Su- preme Court yesterday aflirming an order transferring the case of Johnson, adminis- tratrix, against Brown et al., deiendants, from San Benito to Santa Clara county. The case came before the Supreme Court on appeal from the order, the mo- tion being upon the ground that the Judge oi the court was disqualified by resson of relation within the third degree 10 one of the attorneys for the defense. John N. Hudner was the husband oi a niece of tne Hon. James F. Breen, the Judge os the Bujperior Court ot San Benito County, in wbich the acuon was pending, and 10r more than :Lree years prior to the making of the motion had been the gen- eral law partner of N. C. Brig.s, one of the attorneys of record for the defense. Oue of tbe plaint.fis made an affidavit in which sue stated that Hudner Lud been acting coutinuously since ibe fiiing of de- fendanut’s answer in conjunction with his law pariner, although™ ithe answer Was signea by Briggs o Also by aflidavit one of the defendants sta.ed that Hudner had not been em- ployed as attorney and rendered no assisi- ance in the case. Tt was shown that ata previous trial of the case Huduer had sat at the table with his law pariner and assisted in the trial. Judge Breen claimed that this disqualified bimselt -to act, and by order of another Judge the case was transferred to Santa Clara County for trial. Tue plaintiffs then appealed. Judge Har:ison wrote the decision, Van Fieet und McFurland concurring. CUT HIS THROAT. W. E. Patéhel to Get Rid of Business Troubles Attempts to End His Life. W. E. Patchel, painter and decorator, 102034 Larkin street, attempted to commit suiciue yesterday afternoon by cutting his throat with & razor. His shop was attached by the Shenff a few days ago, and since then he has felt despondent. He talked of his creditors “crowding him to the wall” and making life not worth the living. Yesterday afternoon he ate a hearty meal in the kitchen, aad after the meal was over his wife stepped into the parlor. As soon as she left the kitchen Patchel pulled a razor out of his pocket and drew it across his throat, inflicting a long, deep zash, penetrating to the windpipe, butnot severing it. His wife heard him fall to the floor, and rus ing in saw the blood pouring from the wound. She ran shrieking out of the house and told the neighbors what her busband had done. Dr. Bushnell was summoned and he stitched and dressed the wound. The doctor says that with care Patchel will soon recover, but he nad | e e e LEVIN BROS’ STORES SOLD. Creditors Will Realize About Twenty Cents on the Dollar. Allthe grocery-stores formerly owned and operated by Levin Bros. were sold by means of private bids in Judge Slack’s court on Wednesday. The basis of sale in each case was 70 per cent of the inventory value of the stocks. The two stores in this City, located at 134 Sixth street and 1324 and 1326 Market street, were sold for about 1$20,000 to H. and M. Wolf, who will con- duct the business under the firm name of H. Wolt & Bro., successors to Levin Bros. They will retain in their employ the mem- bers of the old firm. 0. Moses purchased the store at West Oakland and Golliber & Hars that at Tenth and Washington streets, Oakland. The stock:-of the Berkeley store, which was removed to the Oakiand establish- ment immediately after the embacrass- ment of the firm was publicly announced about a month ago, was sold as part of the latter. It is estimated that the creditors will realize about 20 cents on the dollar. They were offered a settlement on the basis ot 38314 cents, but the objections of Dodge, | Sweeney & Co. prevented the acceptance of the proposition. The San Francisco stores will be re- opened for business Saturda; —_————— MAYOR PHELAN OBJEOTS. He Says a Japaneso Interpreter Is Entirely Unnecessary. The commission to select interpreters for the criminal courts met again in the Mayor’s office yesterday afternoon to complete the list of appointments which was partly filled Wednesday. One con- clusion reached was, to dispense with a Japanese interpreter, it appearing to be the fact that there is so little use for such an official as to make an appointment prac- tically nseless. The following dispatch concerning the matter was yesterday sent by Mayor Phelan to Senator Braunhart at Sacramento: SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28, 1897, Senator _Braunhart, - Sacramento, Cal.: A Japanese interpreter is absoiutely unneces- sary. 1tmeans a wasteful expenditure of pub- 1licmoney.

The young man was taken at once to the Recelving Hospital and later 1o his mother’s home, where on the following day he recovered consciousness and wanted to know if his mother had got the $10. Since then he has been ill at the point of death, his condition, the doctor says, having peen caused by great exposure. Upon regaining conscicusness he told of the incidents o1 his voyage up to the time be was bustled off b-tween decks and left alone and lost consciousness.

Board of Health After Physicians Who Fall to Make Returns. Judge Joachimsen has fineda Dr. E. N. under §2500 bonds during the past nine | months to appear before Police Judge Low on a charge of grand larceny, and his trial was to have been held yesterday morning. But Mr. Van de Vere, as a clairvoyant, evidently did not see his way clear to getting out of his scrape, so he did not show up in court and Jodge Low declared the bonds forfeited, and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest. Van de Vere and Professor Eugene, al<o a clairvoyant, connected themselves in 1896 with George H. Bell, the ex-post-| master of Carson, Nev. He was partial to the schemes they placed beiore him and eventually obtained $800 of his money, so | as to pay the expenses of developing his | interest in an estate in Scotland valued at more than £1,000,000. Bell beiteved in the two, and furnished | them with expense money as they de- | manded it until he suddenly found him- | self without enougk capital to return from this City to Carson. Then the story came out and both Vande Vere and Eugene were placed under arrest and charged with grand larceny. They promised to return the money to their victim, who was reaily in need of it, and who is still in a condition which might jeopurdize a_successiul trial and convie- tion. On this promise the grand inrceny trial was repeatediy postponed, and when Professor Eugene eventually paid uv bis share the case against him was dismissed. But Charles Van de Vere has not ful- filed his promise, hence the intended prosecut®dn. Back of this js another story, showing that the erstwhile partners in the clair- voyant business are no longer friends as of yore, They had adjoining offices and living- rooms at 1728 Market street, where they transacted their business. Mrs. Eugene assisted them materially in their work, and frequently, in fact more frequently than with her{mabflnd, she was the assist- ant of uis friend. When Charles Van de Vere disappeared three weeks ago Mrs. Kugene was also on the absent list, and her whereabouts is as much of a mvstery at this time as is thut of Van de Vere. Professor Eugene cessed his occupancy of the Market-street offices yesterday and proposes leaving for the East to-day. Whether he knows where Mrs. Eagene is or his old associate is not known, but he 18 going away to hunt for one of the two or both, The bondsmen who will have to make | steamer. good the $2500 forfeited by Van de Vere are M.

Tyler, a young man 22 years of age, is very ill at his mother's residence, 915 Haight street, and there isa pathetic story connected with his present condition. Three months ago he went to Seattle, Wash., in search of employment. Subse quently he contracted rheumatism, be- came unfit for further work, and soon ex- ‘hausted what little money he ' ad saved. He sent to his mother for $10 that he mght come home. The mother made inquiries here and learned that $10 would secure only steer- age accommodations, so she sent her boy $20. He took passage January 14, in the Walla Walla. Thouzh unwell he was de- termined to save his motber from an ex- tra evy on her slender resources, and ac- jcordingly chose steerage fare that he | might return the other $10. The first evening out from Seattle he | was taken with convulsions. They husiled him out of the warm steerage into a cold, cheerless place between decks and left Lim -there on.a poor little mattress and sparsely covered, though he was exposed | contintously near open hatches to the | Lowry $5 for failing to report a birth. Some months ago Dr. Garrigue was fined in the same amount for a similar failure. The intention of the Board of Health is to have all birtbs reported if it 1s possible to compel physicians to do their duty in this respect. A circular has been sent out by Secretary Edmond Godchaux to all physi- eians and midwives in the City and Coun- ty to call attention to the section of the Political Code which provides that physi- cians ana midwives must, on or Lefore the 4th day of each month, make a return of all births oceurring in their practice dur- ing the preceding month, Notice is also given that prompt arrest and diligent Pprosecution will follow any violation of the law. — s o -~ Is 1t a Lottery ?
