Nothing to Indicate an Increase in the Number of Resident Chinese. Only the First Ward Shows a Decreass in the Raturns of School Children. OAKIAXD OrricE SAN FraNcisco Cavr,) 908 Broadway, May 1L § The census of the scuool children has just been completed and shows some in- teresting developments in the city’s pop- ulation. According to general rules, the increase in the number of children attending school indicates an increase of population of about 3500 since June of last year. There are now 13,857 children between the ages of 5and 17 years. Of these 1941 are in the First Ward, 2753 in the Second 1945 in the Third, 1977 in_the Fourth, 96: in the Fifth, 1361 in the Sixth and 2908 in the Beventh. In addition to these there are 4768 children under 5 years of age. O! the children attending school 6822 are white boys, 6833 white girls, 92 negro boys, 95 nezro girls, 12 Chinese boys and 3 Chinese girls, Of all the children 18,055 are native born and 570 were born abroad, During the year the First Ward is the only one whose return shows a loss. That district had 156 children less than last year, while all the other wards show a gain of from 1 to 200. In speaking of the census returns Su- perintendent McClymonds said: *‘These figures do not exactly represent the stute of affairs. There are other things to be considered. The report shows that there are 3363 children between the agesof 5 and 17 who are out of school, but this can be easily explained. Children are not allowed at school until 8 years of sge, while children between 5 and 17 are counted 1n the censns. Then again many children are forced to be bread-winners in these hard times. The father can't find work, the children can, therefore they must contribute to the suppor’ of tue family. The children attend night school, perhaps, and so continue their education. There are only eleven more boys than girls in the school, and the Ch i- nese population shows no increase what- ever.” A QUESTION OF REPAIRS, Who Is Responsible for the Condition of the Tida!-Canal Bridge ? ALAMEDA, Can, May IL—At the meeting of the Board of Trustees last night the question was discussed as to the respousibility for the condition of the flooring of the tidal-canal bridge. The flooring bas become sadly dilapidated and in a dangerous condition. The structure was erected by and is the property of the General Government, but there seems to be no way to get the Gov- ernment to make the necessary repairs. The Trustees do not see their way to le- | gally use the city’s money for the purpose, urgent though the nead is. It was finally decided to communicate with the Board of Supervisors and ask them to make the needed revairs. under the ruling of the Districi Attorney that the county cannot legally construct bridges or tunnels within the limits of in. corporsted cities 1t is difficult to see how the Supervisors can undertake this task. Altogether the affair is very much mud- | dled, and it looks as though it might be necessary to suspend ail but electric-car and pedestrian traffic across the bridge when the danger point for teams shall Dbave actualiy been reached, which is not far off. Laundry Ordinance. ALAMEDA, Car, May 11.—The much aiscussed laundry ordinance came up be- fore the Trustees last night, and was unanimously passed. Among other things the new law provides thatall build- ings used for laundry purposes must have 3-inch cement floors and other sanitary arrangements, and it also forbids any one from sleeping in any house in the city limits that is used as a laundry. Because of the radica! changes in many laundries made necessary by the new ordinance, it was voted (o defer putting it into effect until July 1, so as to give the laundrymen abundance of time to make the needed chances. It1sexpected that many of the smaller laundrymen will have to go out of business, while the provision against sleeping in laundries is a direct blow at the Chinese, who sleep, eat and live in the lavndries. It 1s not expectea tnat there will be any opposition to the enforce- ment of the ordinance. The Chinese themselves say they will not oppose it, and it rests with the property-owners from whom they rent. Ladies’ Night. ALAMEDA, CAL..

The Most Important Witness Gives Testimony in the Paulsell Trial. W. E. Paulssll is once more on trial in Judge Carroll Cook’s court on a charge of robbing Jimmy Carroll’s faro bank at 620 Market street at 20'clock or the morning of February 16, 1894. James E. Hulsapple, a faro-dealer, was the first witness. He testified that he had possession of the faro bank on the night of the robbery, and once more he told the story of the entrance of the masked men and how they ordered him to throw up his hands, and how he acted upon that sug- gestion. It did not vary from what had been told on previous tri Nathan Allen, & colored man, who was in the room at the time, corroborated Hulsapple's story.

An effort will be made, bowever, to show that Paulsell was the person who ran out of the doorway and was arrested with a bag full of gold in his coat-pocket. Paulsell’s defense will be that he is the victim of circumstances. He will intro- duce witnesses to prove that he was going upstairs to the faro game when he met the robbers coming down; that they all heard the cry of alarm ruised by the people in the gumbling-room, and that the real ro! bors, fearing detection, thrust the bags of gol 1 in Paulsell’s coat-pocket and ruade good their escape. They also left behind them their masks and their mackintoshes, one of which was thrown loosely over Paulsell's shoulders. It is argued by Paulsell’s friends that if he had been one of the robbers he would have had the mackintosh on and that it would not bave been hanging loosely over his shoulders. Paulsell was tried twice before on thi charge. On the first trial the jury ais- agreed, and the second time the verdict of conviction was set aside because the Su- preme Court found fault with the instruc- tions given to the jury by the trial Judge. —_——————— BALL FOR OHARITY.

Betw:en Russian River and Monterey the Land Is Steadily Falling. BERKELEY, CaL, May 11.—In his lecture before the Science Association of the State University last evening Pro- fessor A. C. Lawson, the mineralogist, ex- pressed the idea that a gradual subsidence of the earth’s crust is taking place on the Pacific coast between Russian River and Monterey Bay and declared that a con- siderable sinking had occurred during recent geological periods. He said: Thero is plenty of evidenoe of recent sub- sidence in the bay of San Francisco and the process is probably going on now, but slowly. At Tomales there are unmistakable signs of such movements of the earth’s crust. To- males Bay is a flooded stream vailey,a de- pression into which the tide has flooded, and 1t1s fi-linz and enlarging rapidly. At Drakes Bay and Bolinas a similar state of affairs is apparent. There are finger-like bays running into the hills, due primarily to streams com- ing down the hills, aud now all filled with salt water that has adyanced into the de- pressions. Behind Sausalito is the Rodeo Lagoon, a val- ley caused by stream erosion and now invaded by salt water, which has encroached as the land sunk. Lake Merced at South San Fran- cisco 18 a similar basin. It was caused by a confluence of stream valleys and was subse- quently invaded by seas. When first discov- ered its bottom was ten feet below the tide and it was doupsless filled with salt water, but drifting sand has blocked ug the entrance and fresh water has driven out ihe salt. Inside the bay of San Francisco there is plenty of evidence of subsidence. The topog- raphy around Sausalitoand the evident recent encroachments ot water leave no Toom for doubt of a considerable sinking, and there is N0 reason to suppose it has ceased. The i ands of the bay are notning more than low hills in an old land valley such as that of San Jose or Napa. The iulets that reach to San Rafael, Petaluma and Napa are filled-up arms of the bay, which water has reached in it slow advance upon the earth. Professor Lawson said that the region of the coast in the exireme north, at Alaska and British Columbia, has been very much higher tban it is now. Bouth- ward to Cape Mendocino, the coast of Oregon, Washington and the northern part of California exhibits a contrary state of affairs, having risen many hundreds of feet, probably over a thousand. The rise was followed by a slight depression. From Mendocino to the Russian River the ele- vation that has taken place amounts to from 1600 to 2000 feet and was not followed by a subsequent depression as 1n the coast ling immediately nortn of Mendocino. Similar diversity exists south of Monte- rey, some regions showing signs of eleva- tion and others of depression. AGAINST POOL-SELLING, The Supervisors Consider Two M asures to Suppress Gambling. Mr. Rivers Combats Betting on Horse- and Mr Britt the Poker Gam-s race: It is evident that there is 2 sentiment in the Board of Supervisors to crush out gambling in all its forms, judging from the wenor of two measurcs that were pre- sented ut Monday’s meeting. One, offered by Bupervisor Rivers. and passed to print, appeared on iis face to give poolrooms where horseraces wers formerly “played” ‘an opportunity ot re- opening, but its author says that fie in- tended it for a totally different object. It was a resolution repealing order 3048, passed by the iast previous board prohibit- ing the selling of pools, book-making, or betting in any form outside of the con- fines of a racetrack, on any borseracing event. There was no di-cussion of the resolution and it went to print. Afterward Supervisor Rivers stated that ths measure, if finally adopted by th: board, would have the effect of stopping all horserace gambling. He declared that thousands of young men were being ruined by ‘“‘playing the races,’’ and that in the interests of the City and its in- habitants the bookmakers should be suppressed. “There is a State law,” said Mr. Rivers, “that prohibits this kind of gambling, and if the measure passed by the last board was done away witk and the laws prop- erly enforced the bookmakers could be forced out of business. “It is time that tnis City should be taken out of the category of places where everything goes, and we can make no bat- ter beginning than by suppressing gam- bling. My measure will also o away with betting on priz -figh! The other measure directed agsinst gambling emanated from Supervisor Britt, who offered a resolution intended to pre- vent card-playing forstakes in saloons ana other resorts. He explained that open games were conducted in many saloons that come under the head of banking games. He suggested that the attention of the Police Department be called to the ames. o Bupervisor Smith sald that the police were powerless to suppress the evil, as they had made many arrests but had not been supported by the courts. He thought the proposed legislation might remedy the matter. The ordinance was referred to the Judiciary Committee. —————————— PUNISHED HIS PUG. W. B. Tyler, an Attorney, Fined in the Police Court for Beating a Dog. W. B. Tyler was fined $5 yesterday morning in Judge Low’s Police Court for beating s pug dog. Last Sunday, in the presence of several hundred people at the Cliff House, Tyler became angered because his dog would not obey his commands, He picked up the | pug with his left hand and punched him with his right until the unfortunate beast was rescued, almost dead, by a few men of heart who saw the affair. W. B. Tyleris the son of the late George Washington Tyler, the aggressive attor- ney who first took up Sarah Althea Hill’s divorce case against Senator Sharon, and Who was ‘subsequently disbarred from practice in this State. His son is also an attorney, whose aggressiveness to date has only been displayed to the extent of entailing a paltry fine.

Assemblymau Leon E Jones Declares the System to B: a Fraud A Ninely-Eight Per Cent R.publican Stepped Over by a Seventy-Five Per Cent Democrat. At a regular meeting of the Coutinental League last evening, President Frank D. Worth in the chair, the following w: read by Recording Secretary Riggins and received with applause: EXECUTIVE MANSION, z W ASHINGTON, April 5, 1897, Hamilton J. Riggins, Secietary Continental Léague, 1017 Larkin streef, San_Francisco—DEAR Sir: The President directs me to return thanks for sending him a copy of the reso- Jutions passed by the Continental League March 4, 1897, commending his action selecting’ the Honorable Joseph McKenna & member of his Cabinet. Yery truly yours, JoSEPH ADDISON PORTER, S:cretary 1o the President. Amos Currier introduced the following resolution,which was ananimously adopt- ed, and copies were ordered sent to our representatives in Congress: WrEREAS, Benjamin F. McKinley, 8 member of the Con'inental League, is a candidate for the position of Posimaster of San Francisco; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Con- tnental Leagus, being porsonally acquainied with B. F. McKinley and knowing his experi- ence, abllity and fitness for the position, here- by heartily indorse and recommend him to our Senators and Representatives in Congress and request them to use their influence in his behali and securs for him the position to which he aspires. Chairman Worth appointed the follow- ing as the executive committee: Amos Currier, Dawson Mayer, H. W. Mathews, M. 8. Torres and Frank Roney. Assemblyman Leon E. Jones, on being calied upon for a speech, said that he was a Jacksonian Democrat when it came to patronage, and was a firm believer in the motto, **To the victors belong the spoils.” When Abraham Lincoln took his seat as Presiaent of the United States on the 4th of March the Southern Democrats re- signed their positions and remained Demo- crats, while the Northern Democrats re- tained their positions and became Repub- licans. Since that time the Republicans had continuous control of the Govern- ment with the exception of eight years ot Cieveland’s administration. When Clev land went into office 95 percent of public officers were Republicans. Within that eight years’ period Cleveland bad changed that ratio to 75 per centof Democrots. Then he threw ¢ e blanket of civil service over their shoulders so that those Demo- crats might retain their offices for life. Mr. Jones was ata loss to explain why a man whose duty it was tosweep the floor of the mint should require any ed: cation to know how to use the broom. He thought that the Republican party should rise above this little trickery of the Dem- ocratic party and remove the clique who have been working in the interest of that party under the cloak of civil service. The questions asked on ivil service ex- aminations were frivolous, he s1id, ana many were ridiculous, There were a sufficient number of efficient Republica: in the country to fill the offices without putting Democrats into them. Besides that favoritism was conspicuous in every department. ecretary Riggins said that he received 9814 per cent in a civil service examina- tion in New York City, the highest of all the applicants, and a 75 per cent Demo- crat was given the place. Mr. Nichols characterized civil servics as a creature of tha mugwumps. Mr. Fak. School Director King and NEW TO-DAY.

Mrs. John Martin was greatly surprised yesterday morning when informed by officers of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children thata complaint had been made that she had abused “Baby John.” “The story current,” said the officers, “was that the child’s feet had been whipped until it could not walk, and that oneof its fingers had been severely bit- ten. Speaking of the matier last night Mrs. Martin said : stripped the child so the officers could be satistied. There is nota mark on the babe anywhere.’ Facts indicate, according to Mrs. Mar- tin’s ideas, that there isa conspiracy to rob her of the guardianship of her boy. The child was the picture of health last night, and he bhas grown robust and beautiful and haa the appearance of be- ing one of the best-fed and best-treated children in the State. e e M. Menier, the Parisian millionaire, who bought up the entire island ot Anti- costi, in the Gulf of St. Lswrence, has found bears so plentiful on the island that he has granted a concession for the estab- lishment of a curing plant for bear's meat, bear’'s ham being now a fashionable deli- cacy in Paris. NEW TO-DATY. FREE T0 EVERT MAN. THE NETHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT FOR WEAKVESS OF MEX. WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painfal diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly westing away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering dsy or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such & strafn men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness untll it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration eame to his aid in the shape of & combination of medicines that not only completely restored the genersl heslth, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts'to natural size and vigor, and ho now declares that any man who will ‘take the trouble to send his iame and address max have the method of this wonderful treatmen: iree. Now, when I say free I mean absolute. v without cost, becanse I want every weaken man to get the benefit of my experience. Tam not a philanthropist, nor do I pose 1« an enthusiast, but there are thousands of me suffering the mental tortures of weskene | manhood who would be cured at once coul . they but get such a remedy as the one tha. enred me. Do not iry to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage-stamps necessars to mail the information, but send for it anu learn that there are a few things onearih that, although they cost nothlng to get, are ‘worth a fortune to some men and mean a life- time of happiness to mostof us.
