Leaving a Splendid and Profit- ab'e Opening for California Fruits. SEVERE FROSTS IN MANY EAST- ERN STATES. In Consiqu-nce the Price of Canned Peaches Eas Already Risen in New York. Porter Bros. & Co. received a letter yes- terday which will be of much interest to California fruit-growers. It is to the effect that the Eastern fruit crop will be short this year. The following is a copy of the letter: CHICAGO, April 22, 1897.

The Directors of the Animals’ Society Want a New Poundmas- ter. Frederick A. Osborne, for the past four years the Poundmaster, stands a good chance of losing his job. At a recent meeting of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals it was found that the expenses of the society are too bur- densome to be pleasant, in fact it was run- ning behindband at the rate of $300 a year. While the Poundmaster is ap- pointed by the Supervisors still it is under the care and direction of the society. At the meeting referred to a committee of five was appointed to ask of Mr. Os- borne if he would scrve for nothing or re- sign. Yesterday the society met, and the Poundmaster gave his reply by letter, in which he demanded a saiary of $75 per month from January 1, 1897. He declined to resign. In order to'get the sense of tne members a vote to pay Mr, Osborne tue salary demanded was lost by 7 to4. A ballo! to see if ihat salary shouid be paid from May 1 was lost by the same vote. The proposition was then made 1o ask Osborne 1o resign, and the vote was for and 3 against, one director deciining to vote. A committee was thereupon ap- pointed, composed of Messrs. Stevens, Lissak, Holmes, Gruenhagen and Colonel Jackson, to see Mr. Osborne and ask him p down and out. In the event of his refusing to resign the committee will pe- tition the Boara of Supervisors to declare Mr. Osborne’s position vacant and to ap. point as his successor Charles B, Hol. brook, the secretary of the societv. This action was taken in view of the fact that hereafter the headquarters of the society will be at Lhe Animals’ Home, on Six. teenth and Aisbama streets, and Mr. Hol- brook can attend to both positions.

Certaln Powors of Boards of Superv ors Defined by the Supreme Court. A very important matter was decided yesterday by the Supreme Court in the casa of C. C. Merriam, an attorney of Fresno, against H. E. Barnum, the Au- ditor of Fresno County. The importance lies in the fact that the upper courtshows clearly the lack of power of county Boards of Supervisors to employ special counsel. On July 9, 1895, the Fresno Courthouse was partly destroved by fire and at the next session of the board Mr. Merriam | was, by resolution, appoinied as special counsel of the board 10 attend to all mat- ters pertaining to the reconstruction of the courthouse, insurance matters, etc. He was to receive §125 per month for his services. o The Supreme Court in its decision states that the city or District Attorney is the legal adviser of Boards of Supervisors and to_ attend to ull legal business for the same. Oaly in cases where the county is a party can special council be employed to asist the District Attorney. Speaking of the Supervisors’ contract with Merriam the Supreme Court say. 1i this could be Jdone in the face of the law which limiis the power of Boards of Super- visors to the employment of counsel to prose- cute or defend suits, then it might be done for any purpose that would meet the views of & complaisant board. * * * We would have specinl counsel for such boards, under sal- aries for $125 a month, advising upon road matiers, others advising upon the collection ofinsurance * * * still others upon the numberless legal propositions which at one time or anotherare presented for the consider- ation of such executive bodies. However vai- uabie the services of the appellant may have been to the couuly in this iustauce, to permit compensstion for them would be tooverride the iaw and to uesiroy oue of the sirongest | safeguards cast about the expenditure of couiliy tunds. e um— W. T. Andrews’ Concert. There was a very large gathering in the auditorium of the Young Men’s Cnristian As- sociation building, the occasion being a fare- weil concert given by William T. Andrews, | the leading 1 of St. Luke’s Churen, prior | to his departue for Europe, where he is to | study musi 3 drews entered the church | choir when & very young boy and he hes re- | mained there ever since. He has many friends. The programme last evening was very interesting and coasisted of ten numbers by such well-known vocalists as the California quartet, Arthur Fickinscher, Miss Relfc-Byler, Louis Heine aud Mr. Andrew NOTES OF THE THEATERS De Wolf Hopper Will Soon Succeed the Min- strels. ‘Shamus O'Brien” Is a Winner at the T.voli—Mrs Dimond’s D: parture. Primrose and West’s minstrels have only a few more nightsin which to war- ble and give their variety turns at the Baldwin. On Monday De Wolf Hopper and his dainty little better half, Edna | Watlace Hopper, will open in Sousa’s operetta, El Capitan,” which has never yot been viayed on the Pacific Coast. The work is light and amusing and scintillates with Sousa in riches. In ordertosaturate the performauce with an atmosphere of | the waliz king a complete military brass band 13 employed in the presentation. De Wolf Hopper plays the part of a bragga- docious soldier, and has elected to appear in a make-up resembling the pictures of Cervantes’ hero, Don Quixote. The few carping critics who prophesied that Irish opera could never be a success in this City are having their predictions et at naught, for “Shamus O'Brien” is ing the Tivoli at every periormance and the advance sale of seats is very large. mian Club, of which Denis O'Sullivan is a member, will give a large theater party at the Tivoli in honor of his appearance there. The vim and spirit in “A Run on the Bank'’ have caught the fancy of Colum- bia patroas, and the consequence is that the nouse is crowded nightly. Ward and | Vokes have surrounded themselves with a company of clever fun-makers, and some of their specialties are new and fetching. Next w-ek there will be an en- tire change of =ongs, dances, e:r. The spectacalar attraction, “Excelsior Jr.,” wili follow ““A Run on the Bank.” The Columbia management has been advised by T. Daniel Frawley, who 1s now in New York, that he has neariy com- pleted his new company, and it will make its initial bow to a San Fruncisco audience on Monday evening, May 31, and will be composed of the following ladies and gen- tiemen: Frank Worthiny, J. M. Colvilie, Theodore Hamilton, T. Daniel Frawley Harry Corson Clarke, Wiison Enos, H. %, Dauffield, Gos Bosworth, Thomas Ross, William Lewmers, Bianche Bates, Grace Henderson, Phoso McAllister, 'Gladys Wallis, Madge Carr Cook and Georgia Busbey. Among the plays to be presented during the season ar ‘The Fatal Cura,” “T Little Vagrants, 5 The Henrietta,” “Aristocracy,’’ Highwayman,” “Tne Case of Rebellious Susan.”” *“Shenun- doab,” and a number of otbers, among which are several new plays that Manager Frawley secured while in Europe. Steele Mackaye’s **A Noble Rosue” is far more consistent and human in 1ts in- terest than the average melodrama, and it is receiving a good presentation at the hands of the Alcazar Company. It is a new departure for this pretty little theater to indulge in sensaional scenic effects, but aithough the stage is not very spacious ior a spectacular dispiay, the bridge scene | is very cleverly and artistically arranged, and never fails to clicit applause, Mrs. F. M. Bates does some of the best work in_the performance as a colored nurse. Her prayer is a striking bit of natural acting. “The Smugglers” gives the Grand an | opportunity of some fine nautical scenic effects. The scene where a ship is burn. ing at sea is one of the best stage pictures that Morosco has ever mounted. *The Smueglers” is well acted and has some clever specialties. Alexander Tacianis, the male soprano, is the most popular attraction at the Or- pheum this week. His soprano warblings win him plenty of admirers, and he wins the friendship of the gallery by the humor- ous way in which he adorns his vocaliza- tion with unexpected notes ina deep bary- tone voice. Mrs, Carey Higby Dimond has dram- atized one of thie ‘‘Arabian Night” stories, “Ali Baba; or, The Forty Thieves,” and she proposes to produce it at the Audi- torium to-morrow night. Mrs, Dimond has reserved for herself the role of Margi- ana, and discarding the baggy trousers usually associated with the iascinating slave will wear tights. It would no doubt have astonished the worthy Ali Babu ex- cessively to see the lady who did so much for him and for his family thus arrayed, but “‘other times, other manners,” as the French say, and Ali Baba did not live in an age of burlesque.

Albert Geffeney, Deputy United States Im- | migration Commissioner, and Charles H., his | brother, have forwarded to the Probate Court { at Melbourne a petition asking that they be | a1judged, with an aunt iz Manchester, the lawiul heirs at law of John Geffene: wealthy man who died there three years ago. BENJAMIN F. McKINLEY, Uncle of the President, Who Has Begun a Vigorous Campaign for the Local Postmastership. office, is after the postmastership here with very flattering prospects of stepping into Mr. McCoppin’s shoes. The peovle here and at Washington who have been worrying about this large and rivening California plum have not been taking the President’s uncle into the reckoning, but they will do so now. Withia a week his friends have securea 6000 signatures to the petitions they are quietly circulating. Mr. McKinley has kept his ambition quietuntil a few days ago, whea the circulation of the petition was b gun, and that operation has been kept as quiet as it was conventent to do. Mr. McKinley’s iriends say he is seek- | ing the office not because be is a_relative of the President but because he has been long in the postal service and has had this ambition for three or four years, haying made up his mind to seek the ap- pointment iong before his nephew’s name bad been heard of in connection with the Presidency. Under the circumstances a popular pe- tition is naturally regarded asa wise ac- companiment 1o his applicatiun, and it will doubtiess be a formidable one. This petition will be something for others who reckon on political pulls alone to take heed of. . Uncle Benj min F. McKinley is 64 years ©i age, ana nhas been a Californian since 1859. He was born in_Ohio, and in ear!; lile went farther forth into the world than did the sire of the president. He came to San Francisco in the year mentioned, by way of Panama, sailing in the old North Star, which was wr.cked on tbat trip. In 1852 be was honored by iis neighbors in being’ elected to the Assembiv irom the old Tenth district, now the Fortieth. He enterec the nostal service as a clerk the next vear, and he has been a postal clerk a1 $1000 a year since that time. Dor- ing the past two years he has been the superintendent of siation F postoffice, which is now located at Fillmore and Suc- ramento sireets. Being regulated by civil service rules he was prevented from tak- ing any active part in the last campaign, when the family fame was so greatly at stake. After the inauguration of Willlam Mc- Kinley, Mr. McKinley, who had not been East to the old home for thirty-eight ears, revisited the old place, and then in Vashington he saw the inaugural pomp and circumstance and the greatuess of his nephew made sure. He is a medium-sized man with the ap- pearance of good citizenship and good sense, a manner that is irank and pleas- ant and a face that indicates intelligence and force of character. ‘It is true thut Iam an postmastership, and it's nothing that [ am ashamed of,” hesavs. “I want it to be known, bowever, that I wounid have tried to get tne appointment just the same if myv nephew had not become the Presi- deat.

SOME CHINESE LVDENCE Wong Yow's Attempt to Enter as a Native-Born Citi- Zen. their The estate 15 said to be Testimony of a White Man Flatly Contradicting Affidavits of Mengoli-ns. Chinese testimony received a setback yesterday in United States Court Commis- sioner Heacock’s court in the habeas corpus case of Wong Yow. When Wong Yow, a young cooly, ar- rived from China a lew weeks ago he pre- sented affidavits of several Chinamen to the effect that he was born in Redding, 1n this State, and was therefore eligible to become Fresident of the United States and to appoint a Coilector of the Port. Collector Wise didn’t believe the affida- vits, particularly because they were con- tradictory, and ordered the free-born American citizen to be deported to Chins. A writ of habeas corpus was secured and the affidavit witnesses, or Chinamen an- sweriug to the same names, appeared be- fore Commissioner Heacock a week or so ago and swore that they were in the laun- dry at Redding on the night on which Yow was brought into the worid, and thatit was their delight for two years thereafter to watch his toddling footsteps and to hear his baby lips lisp pretty monosylla- bles expressive of his delight on being born an American citizen. 7 Then, possibiy in order that there might not be a link missing in the evidence when tbis wonderful man chid should re- turn from China to shoulder a white workingman out of a Job, he was accom- panied 10 China by one of the witnesse: who took up his residence about a block away from the Yow famiiy and lived there six or more years. The troubie with the witnesses was that they testified not wisely but too well, and they got themselves disbelieved. Yester- day afternoon another nail was driven into the coffin of their veracity by a white witness named W. W. Williams of Red- ding. Mr. Williams was in business in that town twenty years ago as a grocer {and tae Wong Yow family never lived there. In fact, there were only two laun- dries and a total vopulation ot only thirty Chinese there at that time, with no women, children nor families. Commissioner Heacock said that he had been favorably impressed with the appear- ance and manner of the witness, a rep- utable citizen _and pioneer, and that the attorneys lor Yow would have to break it | down if they expected to keep their client in California. The hearing was continued until Satur- day, when Judge Bell and Judge Bush of Shasta will be called as witnesses on be- balf of Yow. MAY TRY 10 0UST WEBSTER The Board of Education Takes an Entirely New Tack. SUPERINTENDENT IS IN DANGER. fchool Census Tangle Leads to Fresh and Novel Com- plications. AUDITOR BRODERICK TAKES A HAND. Will Not Sign Warrants for Census Marshals Unless Approved by Webster. The bombshell that Superintendent of Public Schools Webster exvloded in the camp of the Census Committee of the Board of Education during the meeting of the commitiee of the whole on Wednes- day evening has borue fruit, and there Iras been a wild scurry ever since to find some way out of the difficulties pomnted out by the Superintendent. Yesterday there was a close conlerence with the attorney of the board, and, as a result, there is a new phase to the matter that is fully as starthng as the original one. On the advice of the attorney the Cen- sus Committee will contend that the law on which Mr. Webster buses his allega- tions that the census, as now conducted, 1s illegal, relates to county boards, and not to those of cities; that the boara is authorized to act independently of the Superintendent, and that Mr. Webster has no power to interfere. Having gone thus far, struck the committeemen. U Mr. Webster is not a City Superinten- dent, as has been decided by the Supreme Court, has not the board the power to ap- pointa City Superintendent to succeed kim? The idea was a magnificent ons in the mina of the director who evolved it, and the attorney was instructed to aelve deep into the siatutes and ascertain whether or not a case to oust the snperintenaent and install his successor would have a standing in court. It now appears that the communication of Mr. Webster to the committee of the whole was far more pointed and bristlin, with bints at illegal acts than nppem.refi from the inkling of the matter that leaked through closed doors. Mr. Web- ster showed the board that those in charge of the census work. and the mar- shals themselves had ignored the law as he interpreted it in many ways. His for- mal communication was as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, April 26, 1897, To the Hon. Charles L. Barrington, President, and Members of the Bocrd of Education in and Jor the City and County f San Francisco—GENT- LEME 1 respectiully airect your attention to the-e ‘facts: That appointments of census marshals must be wade by the Board of Edu- cation on or before the 1st day of April. There is no legal provision for the board to delegate this perogative and duty. Hence, if census marsuals become incapaciiated and unab.e to terve, the Board of Education must name suc. cessors. Several persons are engagzed and have been engaged in akiog the school census of this City and County who have not been ap- pointed by the Board of Education. That all appoiutments of census marshals shail be subject to the aporoval of the Super- intendent of Schools. That the names of only three legally fix;-mmen census marshals have been submitted for my approval. ‘Ihat before entering on the discharge of their duries the census marshals must file their onths of office in the office of the Super- intendent of Schools. No oaths of ofice have been filed in my office. That the services of Mr. Wardell and Mr. McPuerson performed prior to the 15th of April, 1897, shovld be designated s clerical services. 1 offer these statements to your considera. tion in a friendly spirit, that you may reetify mistakes or supply those omitiea formalitics of law that shall render the officers now sery- ing you as census marshals legal and thus legalize their work. Much credit is due Directors Gallagher and Wailer for the time and _attention they have given to the business of directing and taking of the school census in aud for tnis City and County. Respectiully submitted, R. H. WEBSTER, Superintendent of Public scnools. Mr. Webster’s reference to the duty of the board to =ppoizt all census marshals cites the fact that a large number of men were put to work by the Census Commit- tee after the board had msade the regular appointments. Census Marshal Wardell says that he put them on at tne orders of the commiitee, and he ougnt to know. These are the men appointed originally at the open meetings of the board : J. M. Prescott, Herman Armer, M. Koppel, Cleveland Carpenter, John Kinsella, J. J. Cordy, Frank M. Horan, George Sand, James Stevens, James McGrath, James O'Dounell, Thomas Monshan, Al Berhstein, P. W.

If illegal acts such as he mentions have been com- mitted it is his duty to refuse to recog- mize the census or the warrants of those who have taken it. If he does not sien them I certainiy sball not. He has the power to compel the Board of Education 10 do this work legallv, and the members cannot force him 10 2ccept the census un- less he choose: “I shail look thoroughly into the law governing the school census and the ap- pointment governing deputy marshals, and if more men are at work than the law allows the warrants will not be audited.” & new idea NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

MURPHY BUILDING, Market Street, Comer of Jonsg Ssn Francisco. WLUCKY" BALOWIN HAS ESCAPED He Flees From Lillian Ash- ley to the Mines at Randsburg. Safety Is Assured in the Gold Diggings of the Mojave Desert. A Fortune Is Awaiting the Hard- Pressed Mil iopaire in Some of His Soutbern C.aims. Lillian Ashley, her sister Emma and her baby will have to hunt further for “Lucky” E. J. Baldwin, the miliionaire hotel, horse and ranch owner. He has gone away. His immediate coterie of friends, at- torneys, hotel employes, stable-boys and the creatures who are nsually attaches of men of weaith, have been saying all along that he proposed going on a protract-d tour, and it was thereby and therefrom intimated that his departure would be at an early date. Mr. Baldwin hastened matters more rapidly even than was the recovery of the fair Lillian, who bas been in charge of the St. Luke’s Hospital physicians since the time she was forced to leave tue Baldwin Hotel. The young woman was expected to emerge from ber sick chamber in a day or two, but the millionaire decided he would | not wait until that time, believing strongly in the oid adage that ‘“‘discretion is the better part of vaior.” Baldwin, however, has not gone East. He applied quite recently to the Board of Police Commissioners for a permit to carry a mpistol, and his request was | granted.
