The decision of the Supreme Court in affirming the decision of Judge Budd of the Superior Court of San Joaquin County in the matter of the estate of J. B. Boody, deceased, brings out the following items of interest in | connection with the case: Boody came to California in 1850 and we into the mining business. He made money at this p\n'suit. and then went to San Joaquin County and en- gaged in farming in partne one Heath. Boody married in 1856 and died some four years ago.

James M. Shoup, United States Mar- | shal of Alaska, arrived here yesterday on the steamship City of Puebla with seven convicts for the State peniten- tiary at San Quentin. These criminals were brought from Juneau, where they | | were convicted at the latest semi-an- | nual session of the District Court, pre- | sided over by Judge Johnson. Two of the seven are Indians, con- victed of murder, one sentenced for | seven years and the other for life. One, | & white man, gets three years for may- hem. He is the notorious *‘Slim” Birtch, who shot a deputy marshal at Juneau and some months ago was by his friends liberated from the Juneau Jail, only to be recaptured later by the | officers. Four, all white men, are guilty | of selling liquor to Indians, and get from thirteen to eighteen months in | prison. With the Marshal, as assistants, are | A. 'S, regular deputy marshal at | Fort Wrangel; J. Cudahee, formerly of | attle, a special deputy, and C. Kra- | mer, formerly of Eastern Oregon, a | | guard. | | ,All these men, together with the | | Marshal's son, a youth attending school | | in Seattle, are guests at the Baldwin | ! Hot where they will remain prob- | ably until Monday, when they will re- turn north. Discussing crime in Alaska, Marshal | Shoup said: | “These are the first prisoners that | ha been brought down from Alaska | during the last two years. The Govern- | | ment has some arrangement with the | State prison at San Quentin whereby | Alaskan convicts sentenced to terms | | | longer than twelve months are con- fined in the California penitentiary “There are now in Alaska some fifty other prisoners confined for terms of | less than a year. About thirty are in the Sitka jail and about twenty in the jail at Juneau. “As there will not be another term of court before next May no men can be committed to San Quentin be- fore that time. So the alleged but fabricated interview with me in one of | the evening papers saying that Iwould be down in a month with twenty more | prisoners is manifestly false. | ““At the present I have ten deputies n Alas one at Sitka, one at Juneau, one at Fort Wrangel, one at Douglas. | one at Dyea, one at Circle City, one at St. Michael, one at Unalaska, one at Unga and one at Kadiak. | *“These will not be enough in future. I expect 100,000 people to come to Alas- ka during the next six months. “Alaska is a very poor place for a | criminal. He cannot escape from the | country except by steamer, gnd we can get him every time. He may escape over the border into Canadian territory, but he can do nothing there and is worse off than before. “I have already made an estimate to the Department of Justice at Wash- ington of what I think necessary for the next fiscal year. I believe the Marshal's office should have appor- 1, tioned to it an amount double that | allowed at present. | “Juneau is a town of about 3000 people,and the merchants are well sat- | isfled to remain there, as they are | making good money. Skaguay and | Dyea are each about the size of Ju- neau.” — e ———— | A Large Plate of Boiler Steel. | Mr. T. J.

Vice-President and General Manager R. P. Schwerin of the Pacific Mail | Steamship Company arrived by the steamer China yesterday after an ab- sence of two months in Japan. Mr. Schwerin was glad to be home for the holidays, but would say little about his trip. He admitted that he had gone to | Japan strictly on business, and while there made a few changes in the working force. The general manager denied that he had made the trip to find means to| meet the growing competition of the Canadian-Pacific Steamship Company. Everything seemed quiet while he was there, and nothing of a warlike nature was to be noticed. i L S G To Cure a Cold In One Day Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Ex-State Senator Jeremiah H. Mahoney died at the Baldwin Hotel yes- THE IATE terday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The death of Senator Mahoney was not unexpected, yet it came when his friends were in hopes that he would once more rally from his illness, as he had undergone so many operations during the past six months, and on each occasion pulled through. This time, however, he succumbed, not to the dreaded disease, cancer, with which he had been a sufferer, but to that of dropsy. Six months ago the Senator had subjected himself to the surgeon’s knife for a cancerous growth on his lip. The removal of this was only temporary, however, as a repetition of the operation had to be performed every two months, not in the same location, as the disease spread to his neck, where three cut- tings were had by Dr. J. M. Morse in the German Hospital; tF- last one was about two weeks ago. After this operation, Senator Ma jney was attacked with erysipelas, which for a time threatened his life, but once more he shook off death, and his many friends felt as if he would be all right in the course of a few da Just then dropsy made its appearance and his limbs commenced to swel even this did not alarm him or the members of his family until yesterday afternoon when a change for the worse gave indications that the swelling was moving up tnto his body. This proved to be correct, as his heart was affected and the end came at last. From a political standpoint there were few men in San Francisco, or, in fact, in the State, better known that was Senator Mahoney. He had the proud distinction of being the only State Senator who ever succeeded himself from the same district to the Legislature from San Francisco. In politics he was a Republican, and in the councils of his party was tooked to for advice in the management of party affairs. He served tu the State Committee, as also in various county committees, and was a prominent figure in every Republican convention held in San Francisco for the past twenty years. Jeremiah J. Mahoney was born in Buffalo, New York, sixty years ago last October. In his younger days he was a chum of Grover Cleveland, and, in fact, he and the ex-President “did” politics together, but the Civil War separated them on the political lines. On arriving in California, Senator Mahoney located in Mount Pleasant, Alameda County. Here he became acquainted with Congressman Frank Page, who at vhat period owned sufficient of the voters of that district to get himself re-elected to Congress for a number of years. Page discovered in the young Buffalo- nian a bright politician, and as he was on the lookout for such pupils he secured a position for Mahoney in the United States Mint. From the Mint Mahoney took care of himself, and at once pushed himself to the front as a party leader. With the exception of a position m the House of Correction, under John Sedgwick, he never held a subordinate station in politics. To his friends he was true and loyal. He leaves a widow and one child—a little girl—to mourn his loss. His funeral will take place from the Baldwin Hotel to-morrow, and in addition to his many friends and acquaintances his remains will be fol- lowed by the members of the Veteran Firemen's Association, of which he was a past pxesident, as also the members of Spartan Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which lodge he was a member. CHRIST'S RESCUE HOME FOR GIRLS Major and Mrs. Frank Robin- son Give an Account of Their Year’s Work. A RUSIT AT THE POSTOFFICE Over Sixty-Four Tons of Cop- ies of The Call Sent by Mail. An Army of Extra Clerks Working Z—=Day and Night to Keep the Department Clear. Wayward and Unfortunate Women Taken In and Provided For by the Rescue Home. The mail clerks at the Postoffice are just beginning to get even with their work. The amount of mail matter that has been sent from San Francisco since Sunday morning last has never been equaled in any like period in the his- tory of the city. On the early morning mail that went across the bay on the 6:30 boat on Sunday the lower deck of the ferry steamer was filled from stem to stern with mail sacks, and the over- land train was delayed at the mole fully an hour and a half while the sacks were being loaded on it. The greater part of the mail matter was made up of the new era edition of The Call. The papers that went out on that mail were for the regular subscribers. Since then and up to noon yesterday the postal officials have handied 1836 sacks of the big edition of The Call. The sacks average in weight about 70 pounds each, so that the Postoffice of- ficials have had to handle over 64 tons of extra copies of the Christmas edi- tion of The Call. During yesterday afternoon over 200 more sacks of the paper were delivered at the Postoffice, and the probabilities are that to-day nearly 500 sacks of Calls will be taken to_the Postoffice for mailing. In addition to the great number of Calls that are being sent away, the mail clerks have been kept busy with the usual number of Christmas pres- ents that are sent through the mails and the New Year advertising matter of the business houses. That amounts to a great deal, and many extra clerks were required to handle it. All the clerks of the Postoffice have been re- quired to work overtime, and the reg- ular lunch hour has been cut to forty minutes during the rush. —_—— Maria Kip Orphanage—For Girls.

In this honte sixty-eight girls found a shelter and a home during the past vear. All of those unfortunate ones were taken in without hesitation or in- quiry as to their past career, sufficient for the major and his kind-hearted wife to know that the applicants had selected quarters in the home. Fifty of those who came to the home have been provided with employment in| good families; three, ‘who were mar- ried and who from evil influence for- sook their homes and husbands, were taken back to the homes they left. Others were restored to their mothers and forgiven and made to share the In connection with this home Major and Mrs. Robinson propose to start a n:ission in the center of the so-called “Tenderloin” section of the city, where lodging-houses abound as the resort of unfortunate creatures who are Iled there and find no way to get clear of who haunt the sec- tion. To reach this class an open street crusade will be made among them with the benefits of the home and a restoration to a just and upright life held out in true colors. This kind of a mission the major and his wife are | prepared to commence immediately after Christmas, with the hope that their labors may be rewarded by equally as fruitful a harvest as has in the past been gathered into the Lord’s vineyard. To enable the major and his wife to effectually carry out this laudable undertaking the chari- table public can, if it so desires, aid them in many ways. Donations of either money or clothing will be thank- fully received at the home. The dona- tions for last year amounted to over $2000, but this was not by any means sufficient to meet the expenditures. received, as it aided them in doing good fic h to those in need. - e —————— Do You Want to Defeat the Candidates Nominated by the Boss Crimmins-Curry- Cator combine?

FOR BRAVERY ON THE SEAS William Kelly Presented With a Gold Watch for Saving His Ship. ‘William H. Kelly, the chief engineer of the steamer Navarro, was presented with a gold watch and fob by the Yu- kon Exploration and Trading Company at the regular meeting of Branch No. 35 of the Marine Engineers’ Associa- tion Tuesday evening. Engraved on the watch is the inserip- tion, “Presented for bravery on the high seas, September 20, 1897.” On that date the Navarro was towing the river steamer Thomas Dwyer up to St. Michael when one of the hawsers be- came entangled in the screw of the Na- varro. There was quite a gale at the time and for a while it’ looked as if both the beasts would be lost. Mr. Kel- ly at the risk of his life climbed down over the side of the ship and disen- tangled the rope. Dr. M. J. H. Woolf, the president of the company owning the boat, made the speech presenting the watch to Mr. Kelly. The recipient of the present responded briefly. Resolutions com- mending the heroic action of the engi- neer were passed by the association and remarks appropriate to the occa- sion were made by Thomas Malcolm- son, Frank Bragg, E. W. Tolman, John J. O’Brien and J. J. Seary. CYCLERS HAVE THE BALL CRAZE Added Interest to the Wheel- | men’s Coming Baseball Tourney.

Stabbed Twice He Is Induced to Go to the Hospital for Repairs. Dr. Fitzgibbon, After Listening to His - Story, Ordered Him to Be Released. During an altercation in a saloon on Bluxome street yesterday afternoon James B. Hill, a painter, was stabbed over the left eye and also in the left arm. The wounded man,it is said, was re- cently released from the insane asylum at Napa. Thinking that a man named O'Neil was responsible for his being sent to the asylum, he determined to “get even with him,” as he ex- pressed it. Learning that O'Neil was in the saloon, Hill, armed with a knife, en- tered the place and proceeded to do up his alleged persecutor. Several men who were present seized him, and, after a desperate struggle, during which somebody cut him with a knife, they succeeded in overpower- ing him. As Hill left the saloon he met his brother “Jack,” who is well known in sporting circles, and he in- duced him to accompany him to the Receiving Hospital. After his wounds were dressed ‘“Jack” Hill asked that his brother be locked up in a padded cell pending an examination as to his sanity. “He is crazy,” remarked the brother, “‘and unless he is locked up he will kill somebody.” As “Jack” promised to swear out a warrant charging his brother with being insane, Dr. Fitzgibbbon, who was in charge of the hospital at the time, ordered him removed to a padded cell. As the unfortunaate man was led from the operating-room he begged piteously to be allowed to go home. “I'm not crazy,” he declared; “this is only a job of my brother’s to have me sent back to Napa.” After listening to his story, Dr. Fitz- gibbon became convinced that he was sane, and, unlocking the cell door, told him to go. As he left the hospital he was met by his brother, who demanded to know of the surgeon why he had re- leased him. “I've fooled you this time,” inter- jected the brother. “You know I'm not crazy.” James then disappeared, after thank- | ing Dr. Fitzgibbon for what he termed his humane act in not allowing his brother to leave him in a padded cell.
