The subject of the discussion this even- ing was: ‘‘Resolved, that the centraliza- tion of French education is conducive to the best social results.” Professor Earl Barnes presided. Before introducing the speakers, he ex- plained the system of education in vogve France. The aflirmative side of the question was supported by S. W. Charles ’97, C. M. Bradley '99 and A. B. Morgan while E. E. Painter 98, H. W. Grun- sky '99 and Mrs. Margaret Hood sup- ported the negati No team work was attempled, as the judges decided on the merits of each indivi rather than on the strength of the opposing sides. Mrs. Margeret Hood, as_the representa. tive of tue Woman's Saturday Night Club, fully sastained the honor conterred upon her by that flourishing organization. Her experience in teaching guve her a decided advantage in the discu u of the subject connected with education.

Morgan made another of his tell- ing speecues this evening. He isnow a Stanford representative in both the Carnot und the reguiar intercollegiate debates and is the first to win this double distinc- tion. His selection was conceded by the students in general as soon as it was known that he would try for a place, Morgan’s style is easy and his argu- ments are convincing. While a success- ful campaign speaker, he does not assume a “spread eagle” style. On the contrary, he impresses his point upon his hearers by skilifully massing his arguments rather than by brilliant flashes of raet- oric. S. W.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cav., Feb. 5.—The committee appointed to audit the accounts of F. W. Morrison, treasurer of the student body, commend the busi- nesslike manner in which he conducis the affairs of the student orzanization. The committee found the receipts, ex- penditures and bniances in the various {accounis up 1o January 1, 1897, to be as follows: Be [ Expendr- | Recefpts | 1w Balances. 3801495 1,958 60 5100 Misceliau eous.. | 0ld Debts......[. ... ... | The condition of the s:udent body at the closc of the year was such that if it bad closed up its affairs January 1, 15 the assets would have balanced the liab: The report closes with an admonit.on that the executive committee pursue its present con-ervative poiicy. All the officers this year merit a great deal of praise, as they have reduced to nil a debt which amounted to $1800 last September. T e senior class recently appointed a committe ind out the fina | stand- g of the ciass. During the junior vear each class publishes an annual which is usually unsuccessful from a financial point of view. The '97 annual failed to pay expenses by about $325. Of this amount $200 will probably be assumed by the clase. The remainder will probably be covered by disposing of several ‘“trade adver: ments.”’ About fifty copies of the annual are yet unsold and the class officials hope to realize something on these. After having carefully estimated the outstanding accounts and the probable expense of the graduation exercises the committes on financesis of the opmion that an assessment of §5 will relieve the class of all present and future indebted- ness. e S ey AT LOS ANGELES FAIR. Laboring Men of the City H Themaetres. LOS-ANGELES, Cav., Feb. 5.—The rain last night and this forenoon militated against a large attendance on this (labor) day at the fair.

Winkley, who committed suicide in San Francisco on Thursday, was City Marshal of Marysville in 1864 and 1865, and repre- sented the Second Ward in the City Coun- cil in 1868 and 1869.

Daring the night the rain came down in torrents, and yesterday morning, drenched to the skin and ravenously hungry, be crawled out of his hiding- | piace in search of a meal.

He only arrived from Liverpool a couple of days ago and is on bis way to Honolulu to take command of the ship Northorook. She had to put into Honolulu in distress and as there has been some dispute over the repairs Fletcher was sent out to take charge of affairs. Captain I Bray is going to Honolulu to take charge of the missionary schooner Morning Star, now tied up in that port. He wil! relieve Captain C. H. Garland and will take the vessel out on her usual yearly cruise among the South BSea islands. Captain Carey and Chief Engineer Mec- Caig were 50 far recovered as to be able to be on duty when the steamer sailed. Both gentlemen were on the sick list during tne entire siay of the vessel in port, and they were more than glad when sailing day came. The big steamer made a pretty picture as she crossed the bar yesterday outward bound. Just as she passed irom sight one of the rollers caught aer, and heavy laden as she was, her stern was thrown away up in the air while the succeeding 1oiler broke all over the forward part of the ship. This was to have been the last trip of the big steamer. but as the new one just com- pleted for the line will not be readv for a few months, the chances are that the Monowai will make one more trip to San | Francisco. Max Kalish, the popular agent of the Humboldt Steamship Company, ceme back from Eureka on the steamer Corona yesierday. He says the new Humboldt will be ready for service the latier part of the month and that sie will have her trial trip about the 14th inst.

It will be sent to refineries here and turned into a marketable article. Carmen Islund salt is said to be of very fine grade. The Exc Isior sailed from here for Guaymas with a load of raiuway ties, and on the way down she ran ioto a hurricane and the entire deckload was washed over- board. From Guaymas sue went to Car- men Island, thence to San Francisco. The City of Peking got in from the Orient early yesterday morning, and had it not been for the heavy weathber encoun- tered durine the latter part of the trip she would have reached port Thursday afiernoon. Tue most valuable itera in the vessel’s cargo was GO0 cases of opium, the duty on which will mount into a good- sized fortune. Two representatives of ihe Japanese Government came over on the steamer.

Isidor Jacobs, chairman of the pure- food committee of the Council of Associ- ated Industries, has been securing an understanding with the prosécuting attor- neys in the police courts and has also conferred with the Judges ofthese courts concerning prosecutions under the pure- food law. ““Our aim,” said Mr. Jacobs yesterday, *1s to have all the prosecutions brought ir one court, instead of scattering cases. We have spent considerable time and energy. We have particularly conferred with Attorney Reynolds of Judge Low’s court. There will be many cases to be tried, for many arrests will be made within the coming three months. Attor- ney Reynolds has agreed 10 make a study of the matier and to assist us.

Cavalier Smith and Mrs. Norris Sezk Seclusion in the States. The Gentleman Showed Soms Nervous- ness, but His Companion Was Purfectly Self-Possessad. It is rare that the Pacific Mail Com- pany’s City of Peking arrives in port with- out a story aboard. This time it was the story of an elopement, and the couple went to the California Hotel. The passenger list was as follows: Miss L. N. Duryea, Mrs. 8. W. B. Diehl, Judge and Mrs. C. H. Garoutte, Miss M. Hall, Rev. James Homy, Louis Imbert, J. H. Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith, Miss G. Garoutte, Fred Yates, W. J. Corwin (U. 8. N.), H. A. Isenberg, K. Aoki, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Eilinger, Mrs. A. F. Dixon, Miss A. Garoutte, Mrs. F. Yates and child, Paymaster A. W. Brown (U. 8. N.), C. . Fischer and M. Wadagaki. The Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith are the couple in question, and the Hawaiian Star had this to say about them soon after their arrival in Honolulu: ““Mrs. C. C. Pinckney Norris has eloped with Cavalier Smith, and they are now on their way to Japan. Mrs. Norris is one of the best-known women in the fashion- able set, and is the mother of two chil- dren, while Mr. Emith is equally as well known, both in the society and club world, and is the father_of five children.” Mrs. Norris and Mr. Smith eloped from Phiizdelphia on December 24 last. They came direct to San Francisco and took the steamer Peru for the Orient. Instead of zoing to Yokohama, however, they changed their minds and stopped off at Honolulu. They traveled in good style and baa the bridal chamber on the steamer, and upon reaching the capital of the island republic they rented a fur- nished cottuge and lived like two turtie doves. Mrs. Norris was formerly Miss Maria Gibson, and_is a niece of the late Henry Gibson' of Philadelphia. She possesses a fortune that 1s estimated at between $250,000 and $300,000. Her husband isa prominent man in Philadelphia society circles, and is a member of the Philadel- phia Rabbit, Country and other fashion- able clubs. Smith is a brother o! A. Donaldson Smith, a well-known explorer. He was left a fortune some years ago, but it is be- lieved he has squandered a large portion of it. Before his departure from Puiladel- phia it is said Smith provided to a certain extent for his wife and five children. The elopementof Mrs. Norris and Smith was not discovered until a week after they had left Philadelphis. Mrs. Norris in- were served in the rotunda. These annua! | formed her husband at the time of her departure that she was going to visit rela- tives in Baltimore. At the same time Smith left bis family, making a plausibls excuse about having to go to New York. The pair fled westward, and a week later detectives were on their track, They are now on their way back to ‘“face the music.” Smith is on the passenger list as 35 years of age, while Mrs. Smith is entered as She is a tall, suapely blonde, with large blue eyes. She was dressed in a dark cheviot tailor-made suit, over which she wore a short broadcloth jacket. She seemed unconcerned, but her companion was nervous and was visibiy confused when a woman’s underskirt was pulled out of his trunk along with some of his own clothing. Mr. and Mrs. Smith registered at the California as from this State, but when in- terviewed they positively denied they were the Smiths in question. Smith said they were not !rom San Francisco, but from another part of the State—from what part, however, he positively declined to state. Hs scems nervousand ill at ease, but she is ca m and seif-possessed and never loses her presence of mind. For the arnival.
