He has worked hard tor many years to teach the Indians bov to take care of themseives and settle among themselves their own disputes and differences. The land of the recervation has been allotted. The men titl the fields, the women do the housework, and the chil- dren go to school. Some Indians are more turifty and intelligent than others. Some accutunlate money, and a few follow the example of prudent white people and put their savings in the bank. W. A. Jones, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, recently appointed by President McKinley, isin San Franciszco. fe was appointed from Wisconsin bere a few days ago to visit the lndian egencies in Calilornia, but owing to the illness of his wife has not been able to carry out bis original purpose.

On the 9th of July there will be a re- union in the 8t. Nichotas Hotel ot the sur- vivors of the parties who were passengers on the brig North Bend and the pilot-boat Hackstaff which sailed, one from New York and the other from Boston in Janu- ary, 1849, for San Francisco. Of thosa who arrived on the Hackstaff there is now but one survivor, Captain Henry H. Ellis, ex-Chief of Police of this City, now a resident of Sunol, Alameda County. Of the passengers who reached here on the North Bend there remain but seven on deck to answer rolicall, making a total of eight out of sixty who came on the two vessels. Mr. Ellis, in speaking of the event that will take place next month, said: *‘There are only a few of us, but we expect a good number of wives, widows and descendants of the passengers, and .we will have a good time, I sailed originally in the North Bend, but left her at Port Famine, acon- | vict settiement of the Chilean Govern- | ment on the Stiraits of Magellan. You may want to know why I did such a reck- less thing; well, it was this way: My | father shipped on the vessel us a passenger } and asked me if I wanted to go on her as | a passenger. I told him I would for I be- Lieved then that if there was a paradise anywhere 1t was to one who wonld be a passenger on board of a snip. When at sea we found that the vessel had no crew other than a few boys from the fish- ing banks of Newfoundland. Those among the passengers who were seamen formed into two watches and did regular duty un- til Cape Horn was reached, when Captain | Higzins, the master, *up sticks’ and made for the straits on account of the very bad weather. For three weeks we worked the | tides and finally reacbed Port Famine. 1| chummed with an English boy and when the North Bend broke anchor and hoisted her jib my ehum and I jumpea into a boat and we rowed for shore, I calling out to father and Captain Higgins, ‘Good-by, I'll meet you in San Francisco.’ | “Ten days later the Hackstaff came to | Port Famine and the first one I met was | Neil Nye, an old scthoolmate who had been | written up as killed in the Mexican War. | It was strange, was it not, to meet one | monrned as dead at the jumping-off place of this earth, but that was oneof the many | queer meetings of old timers. We sailed for this port and that is how I became a | forty-niner.”’ o “SIEBE MEDAL" SHOOT. Scores Made by the Membsrs of the i Police R flo Team on Friday.

L BATTLE FOR THE FEES Health Office Will Continue to Assess Plumbers. The Claim the Right to Do so Un- der the Rules of the Board, There Is Likely to Be a Legal Con- test in the Courts Qver thg Matter, Plumbers’ fees are still being colleeted by the Board of Health. Fiye licenses were reissued yesterday, for which $5 was collected. In view of the article pub- lished in THE CALL yesterday Secretary Godchaux felt dubious about receiving the same, but on referring the matter to Dr. J. M. Wiiliamson, who is the acting chairman of the board, he was instructed to go ahead as before. The licenses were issued and the $5 placed with the $300 that hes already been collected in the same way. The situation in reference to this matter is « peculiar one. It involves the right of the Board of Health to make rules and regulations which impose a tax on certain kinds of business. Dr. Williamson claims that the board has such a right and that 1t will continue to tax the plumbers as heretofore until it is probibited from doing so by some com- petent court. Dr. Rottanzi, on the other hand, claims that no such right inheres in the Board of Health and that such an ordsr as that under which the Board of Health is col- lecting these fees must be passed by the Bupervisors and approved by the Mayor before it becomes operative. The matter will be brought up at the meeting of the Supervisors on Tuesday and there will undoubtedly be a hot de- bate over the matter. 1t is but fair to Secretary Godchaux and to the body that he represents in the capacity of secretary to state thatall of the moneys that have been collected are maintained intact and available for re- funding should such a course become necessary. Accurate book accounts have been kept of all such moneys collected. As explained by Dr. Williamson the rules and regulations under which these fees are being collected were passed by the Board of Health on the authority given that body by order No. 1982, passed by the Supervisors May 28, 1888, and ap- Hr?lvcd vy Mayor Pond onthe following ay. Section 1 of this order reads as follpws: Every master and journeyman plumber cal € ou his trade in” this City and County 1all, unider such reguiations and rules as the Boarl of Hea'th of =aid City and County pre- scribe (not in conflict with general laws), register his name and address at the Healtn | Office of suid City and County. Acting under the authority thus given | | ture of the | declared Insolvent. He also wishes to have | their #nloon business. the board adopted a long series of rules and regulations on April 15, 1896, wiich were made operative on July 1 of the same year. Amongother taings these rules re- quired every firm or corporation doing a plaombing business to pay a license fee of 1l per annum and every journeyman plumber to pay a registration fee of 50 cents; a fee of 50 cents was also charged for‘ every permit to make plumbing re- airs, Shor.lly after these rules were put into operation the journeyman plumbers made & protest against the registration fee, and ttat particnlar provision was rescinded. At that time $27 had been coliected under it. Of this amount $1 50 had been re- funded to the three mea who made appli- cnl'x‘;m for: the return of the fee each had paid. Under the license clause $256 has been collected, and under the repair permit sec- tion $525 50 has been paid in. By the same rule of the Board of Health the moneys collected for licen-es were made payable 10 the secretary; those for repair permits and journeymen certifi- cates to the board ‘jor the use of the City.”” The understanding of the board was that the license fees should go to the secretary as a nerquisite of his office. SENSATIONAL DIVORO:Z. Clara Drapor Mentions Gamble as Co-Respondont. A sensational divorce suit was begun by Mry, Clara Draper against her husbana, T. ¥. Draper, in the Superior Court yes- terday. Mr. Draper is a stenographer in the employ of Attorneys Wilson & Wil- | son, and the lady named asco-respondent is Clara Gamble, well known as a dancing- teacher, whose school is at Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street, Mrs, Draper com- plains that the yonng saltatorial artist has danced her husbana’s heartaway from her, and now she seeks 10 be reieased from the gailing bonds of matrimony.

Jones, for failure to provide. Virginia M. Sneenan against Thomas J. Sheehan ior desertion and failure to. provide. Jeannette Agatha Lynch against Wil- liam F. Lynch, for failure to provide.

GUATENALA N0 HAN'S EDEN Paper Money Worth Only Twenty Cents on the Dollar. Nearly All Business Places Closed Down and Food Hard to Obtain. Mechanics Advised to Stay Away. Earnest Letter to Labor Com- missioner Fitagerald. From information that has come to Labor Commissioner Fiizgerald lately it | 18 pretty evident that Manuel Bariilas, at one time President ard now the so-called *dictator” of the Guatemalan republic, is far more successful in the manazement of his love affairs, even though he may find it necessary to carry them on through the medium of an interpreter, than he is in the management of financial affairs at home. of that country are in a bad fix and that the many Americans now employed there sizh plaintively for *“Home, Sweet Home.” On the 9th ult. the following telegram was received by Mr. Fiizzerald. It wasin cipher and had to be translated by one familiar with the system used: QUEZALTD , June 9, 1897. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, San Franci Mechanics on strike, iusist upon puyment.
