The dis- ease spread into tue State from Texas, and as a quarantine measure the Depart- ment of Agriculture placed an embargo on all the herds in the State. A few montns ago it was demonstrated that the fever had been stamped out in the northern counties, and the embargo was removed. The members of the Board of Healt will look into the condition of the herds in and about Kern County, and if no trace of the disease can be lound they will recommend that the quarantine 8 against the cattle be raised from the southern counties. ——————— Couens and colds cured with Low’s .vmvmvmmmmmmrmmnmmmmmvwmmnmmmmmmrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmrm | the old way s.rings. .\11 n\ FANCY 0LGA OIf PINEAPPLE PLEATING_20 inc -nc maize, lave: der.

You may think that in the State prison s the only place where inmates go by number and not by name, but you are mistaken. There are others. Not necessarily in a slang way, but in reality. Take, for instance, Hamilton Grammar Schiool. That's where the dulcet business came in. The difference between the numbering of prisoners in the peniten- vary and of the pupils of Hamilton Grammar School is that the prisoners are numberéed by law, while the pupiis are numbered becaase it is too much trouble | for the loving teachers to remember their names. superintendent Webster says it shouldn’t be done, but then Webster isn’t the onlv teacher in the city. Anyway Webster is entirely too pro- gressive. He is a late product. Wasn’t enough for our parents? What was good enough for them is surely good enough for the coildren to-day. What if obsolete methods have been thrown out of all the other schools, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the Ham- ilton Grammar School teachers shouldn’t teach the only way they know. No, they are not going to put stripes or. the chiliren. Why should they? <That wasn’t done forty years ago. Anyway, i* isn’t necessary. The teachers don’t| care to know them out of school hours. Nor in, either, for that matter. There is no individuality in a number, and it isn’t good for school children to feel that they are individuals. Ali that is necessary is for them to have a private teacher at home who will enable them to learn their lessons so that they can recite at school without giving the teacher there any unnecessary trouble. The political influence which secured the positions for the teachers is entirely too valuable to be wasted by working to prove that it was well used. Whose business is it, anyway? Does anybedy think the puvile and their pa- rents bave any rights that the teachers are bound to respect? Talk about obsolete ideas! What is that but an obsolete idea? That is not what the teachers get the hore ound cough syrup, price 10c, 417 San some st. + places for.

He is a bigz boy and has too much self-respect to answer to a convict's designation, and then, too, his father hasa “‘pull” with ihe Board of Education. And thavs differ- ent. All scholars but one, then, must under- stand that the teachers Know best what is good for them, and parents have the option of kesping their children at home if they do not like the way thinzs go at school. And there you are. Obsolete methods prevail and parents protest, and Superintendent \Vekmer says it shouldn’t be, but what do parents’ pro- tests and Webster's opinions amouut to, 50 long as the teachers prefer to be classed among the back numbers. Number 170 remains and writes his fi'ty lines.

It Should Have Accepted a Payment After It Had Fallen Due, | Precedent Having Been Established | the Jury Decided It Should Be | Followed. In the United States Circuit Court yes- terday the jury in the case of George W. Beatty against the Mutual Reserve Fun: | Life Association rendered a verdict in terest. The suit was brought to recover $4000 alleged to be due on a policy on the life of Edward L. Smith, a deceased stock- broker. At the time his interest in the policy was acquired Mr. Beatty was a minister of the gospel, and varied his religious work on the Sabbath by speculating in different business enterprises on week- days. He gave Smith $3000 to invest for him, and Smith invested it not wisely but too well—so well in fact that it remained permanently with the investment. In order to make good Beatty's loss, Smith insured the life of himself and wife in favor of Beatty, but the insurance company failed, and Smith took outa pol- icy in the defendant company for $40.0 on his own life, his wife not being sound enough in health to be insured. Smith was unable to keep up his payments, and Beat.y paid them. On several occasions he tendered the premiums atter they had fallen due, but despiie this fact the agent of the company accepte! the payments and gave him Treceipts therefor. Beatty concluded from this fact that he might also make the succeeding payments alter they had become due, but to his astonish- ment the agent retused to accept the money. Smith died shortly afterward and Beatty brought suit againsi tue associa- tion to recover the amount named in the policy. This was the fourth trial of the case. Or the first trial the jury disagreed. On the second a verdict was given for Beat y, but the verdict was sel aside on appeai. On the third trial the jury, under instruc- tions from the court, returned a verdict for the association, but a new trial was granted on the app It is understood that an appeal will be taken. BUSY BUILDING SHIPS. Rushing Work on Five Vessels at the Union Iron Works. A small army of workmen are busy at the Union Iron Works on the construc- tion of five large vessels which are being built there. The Japanese cruiser Chitose is near completion and will be launched early in January. The vessel is to have a 1 speed of 22 knots, and it is the opinion of | favor of Beatty for $3553 68 and $1280 in- | her builders that she will exceed the con- tract rate on the official trial trip. The work on the battle-ship Wisconsin is weil under way. Most of her plates be- low tlhe water line, are in place and ber protective deck 1s nearly completed. On the stocks between the two battle-ships are the frames of two steamers intended for the Yukon trade. One is for the Ala-ka Commercial Company and it will soon be launched. The other is for the | Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and when lnunched it will be named Senator. 0SBORN DEUAPITATED. Charles B. Holbrook Appointed Pound- master by the Supervisors. The fight over the position of Pound- keeper came to a close in the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Super- visors on Friday when it was decided to recommend the dismissal of F. A. Osborn, who has heretofore had the support of the | board, and the appointment ot C. B. Hol- | brook, secretary of the Scciety for the | Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The society, which has controlled the pound for years, made charges against Osborn and asked his removal. He man- aged to hold on for some time, but on Fri- day his head fell. Holbrook was ap- pointed at the request of the society. ———————————— ' KRUBGER ASKS DAMACES A Scurvy-Smitten Sailor Asks for Ten Thousand Dollars. Alleges That He Was Ironed and Fed on Bread and Water for Six Weeks. F. A. Krueger entered a suit yesterday in the United States District Court against the Pacific Steam Whaling Company and W. W. Macomber, master of the whaler Jokn and Winthrop, to recover $10,000 damages aileged to have been sustained by him by reason of cruel treatment in- | flicted on him by the captain. | The complaint recites that during the | voyage of the John and Winthrop, from }Jnnuarv 9 of thsi year to the 8th of the vresent month, he was not allowed any lime ju'ce mhalevcr and that for a period | of six weeks he was kepi in irons and fed on bread and water in afoul and unwhole- some part of the vessel, by reason of which treatment he contracted scurvy, from which be is now suffering. Krueger, Harry Jones and O. W. Deig- nan, membars of the whaler's crew, were arrested on the arrival of the John and Winthrop at this port on suspicion of having set fire to the ship. Joues and Deignan signed confessions to the effect that Krueger set the fires in pursuance of a conspiracy to burn the whaler and es- cape to the Klondike gold diggings. On the preliminary examination last ¥riday morning, before United States Commis- sioner Heacock, Krueger was discharged and the two other men held to mpurfi» fore the Grand Jury. ———— A Rumor Quieted. For several days a rumor was prevalent in the Custom-house that ex-Special Agent Col- onel J. F. Evans of Oakland has been reap- pointed into the service and that he was to supersede Major Moore, the present fearless, capeble and industrious special agent of the Treasury at this port. Colonel Evans was asked by & CALL reporter yesteraav whether there was uny truth in the Teport that he had been fly‘(})olnledn special agent of the Treas- ury, he replied emphatically and une- quivocally that there was not a word of truth in the report, and that he had not been ap- pointed a special agent.
