By the filing of articles of incorpora- tion of “the Interstate Coursing Club of California’ a few days ago an interest- d and a lengthy legal warfare be- tween owners and racers of blooded dogs will be the result. The directors of the €porting corporation, Dominick Shan- non, John Grace, Michael Treanor, P. J. Rellly, James Dean and James Grace, and L. H. Brown, Secretary of State, in consequence of the filing of the letters of incorporation, have been made defend- ants in a suit filed by 1. F. Halton, E. V. Sulifvan, John Perigo, S. W. Smith, Ray Holton, C. C. Griswold, Al Austin, W.

They claim the name has been stolen from them by the defendants, who con- spired against thelr interests, and they ask that the defendants be restrained from using the Incorporation name and that the Secretary of State be enjoined from {esuing letters of incorporation to them.

So Says a Clever Impersonator of That Highly Character. Mischievous A gymnastic team which was billed under the names of Paulinetti and Pi- ately appeared at the Orp! m er in this city and presented an on the horizon bar that s any sth has ever been witnessed on the s One would infer from the Italian ture of the names that the posse were born and reared in Ital un country, but would what sur- prised to learn that instead of being of foreizgn extraction the two gentlemen are both ives of these glorious Unit- ed States, and to use the wor of Pi- quo himself they are proud of it. There and the theat- )n is no exception to this but in an interesting talk act ) probably as entertaining was t be some rical profe: general rule with Piquo the reasons for this as- sumption of foreign cognomens wers readily understood and it must be granted that the little deception prac- American public is fully | warranted by the attendant circum- | stances. It is a well known fact, says Piquo, that a v ty artist who ap- pears under & name peculiar to Euro- | ean countries is almost invariably as- | sured of being well received by an American audience simply because there is a mistaken impression that whatever is foreign must be good. This, ays he. militat against the Ameri- st, especially in acrobatic pe formances, and Piquo evidently knows whereof he speaks, for he Is no novice in the theatrical business. He first commenced to ular salary and thereby professionalized himself in 1868 In the city of New York, where he was born. His proper every day name is T. 8. Dare, or Tommy Dare, as he is familiarly called by those who know him best, He played the part of the clown in the act, and will be rémem- bered as having caused considerable | merriment in that character. His | partner, who rejoices under the name | of Paullnetti when he is doing his | turn, is Ph. Thurber when he is not | going through his very clever and diffi- | cult scientific work on the horizontal | bar. Piquo says that the immediate cause | of their taking the foreign names was the’ fact that they had traveled ex- | tensively throughout Europe, showing | at the best music halls in the princi- pal citles, and on returning to this country conceived the scheme. The for an engagement, on learning that they had just arrived from across the pond and had closed a succcessful sea- son of several months at the Folies Bergeres, in Paris, immediately con- tracted for their appearnce at his the- ater and paid them double salary for the European name. When they first went to England as the American ar- tists, “Dare and Thurber,” they were coldly received by the English mana- gers, who said there was a surfeit of that horizontal bar business in the theatrical market, “don’t you know,” but condescended to give them a trial. The managers soon thawed out, how- ever, on the opening nighr, when they saw how well the team was received by the languid English audiences, | who really became enthusiastic in their applause. After that long en- gagements were the rule. Mr. Dare (or Piquo), for his identity must be preserved, s authority for the state- ment that English acrobatic artists cannot compare with the Americans engaged in the same line. In their gymnastic work, while the former are slow, studied and lumbering, the lat- Piquo also says that the feats which he and Paulinetti perform are not one- half as difficult as answering to their foreign allases. After a performance one evening a gentleman of color was overheard to remark to his companion, “Say, Johnson, dem fellers, Pollinaris and Ple-cut, were de best on de pro- gramme." - Piquo's " countenance became sad when he said that there was some dan- ger of the team separating, on account of some little misunderstanding, but it is to be hoped that such an event will not occur, for two people who work so well together in public should experi- ence no difficulty in getting along in their private life. But Pigquo says that it is the gratitude of the world. To use his language: “I have had a score of partners in the course of my the- atrical career; have given them all the benefit of my thirty years' experience in the acrobatic business, and then they gave me the frigid shake. But, never mind, if this one leaves me 1 will soon get another one, and we will hold on to the name of ‘Paulinetti and Piquo’ even if the new man should be a Scandinavian.” IS RESTORED T0 EREEDOM Doctor Woolsey’s Horse Was Ravenously Hungry. Also Drank a Tub of Contra Costa Water Before Its Arrest. Serious Trouble Is Avoided by the Payment of Three Dollars. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 13. Dr. E. H. Woolsey, once the head of the Southern Pacific Medical Depart- ment, is particularly proud of his pos- session of a heavy black charger. The animal is one of the finest in this coun- ty, and its master is a fearless rider. Dr. Woolsey on his horse is one of the most famillar sights on the streets of Oakland and wherever they are seen one is admired only a little less than the other. A few days ago the doctor was taken sick, an experience almost unknown to him in his whole life, and while he was confined. to his bed his equine compan- ion strolled off on an exploring expedi- tion and was found quietly eating oats in a blacksmith's shop in East Oak- land. Last night the horse was arrested and detained at the City Prison under the charge of Chief Lloyd. The aristo- cratic animal had never associated with common municipal horses and | vags before, and its spirited nature belled at such treatment. tion was entirely due to the oats it stole, or is alleged stolen in the blacksmit} When the blacksmith f sessi of the doc he also found himself out of n of two s: s of oats which Its humilia « 14 feed to = he alleges the animal had eaten.

K NGHEST BIDDER GETS THE CONTRACT Bids for Supplying the Alaska Treadwell Mine With Machinery. Pecullar Process by Which a Busi- ness Firm of Chicago Obtalned the Award. Bids were recently opened for stamp mills, winding engines, Corliss com- pound engines, crushers, etc., for the Alaska Treadwell group of mines on Douglas Island. The contract was awarded to Frazer & Chalmers of Chi- cago. The value of the machinery to be supplied under the contract approx- imates $360,000. The Chicago firm was not the lowest bidder. A bid from a firm in Milwaukee was $24,000 below the Chicago figures. The Risdon Iron ‘Works of this city were $8000 below the Milwaukee bid, @hd the Union Iron Works offered to supply the desired machinery according to the specifica- tions at a figure $34,000 below the price designated by the Chicago firm. The bid of the Union Iron Works was pre- sented in due form. Capitalists whose money is invested in the development and operation of the | mines may find occaslon to investigate | the award of this most remarkable con- tract. In the ordinary course of busi- ness, contracts are awarded to the| lowest responsible bidder, but in com- | petition for supplying machinery for the Alaska Treadwell mine, the lowest Chicago bidder takes the award. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Assoclation heard of the setback given to the California bidders and the man- ager, Oscar Lewls, lost no time in try- ing to get at the bottom of the facts and reasons. From what he - has learned he will bring the matter to the attention of the Board of Directors at the next meeting. He stated yesterday that the reason of the highest instead of the lowest bidder getting the con- tract was apparent, but the reason for asking for bids in the first place was not. “I found,” said he, “that the owner of the Alaska mine property is a large English syndicate and some of the heaviest members of the syndicate are members of the firm whose bid for the machinery was accepted. In other words they gave the contract to them- selves and the only reason, that I can think of, why any bids were asked for at all, was the European members of the syndicate wanted the California | Chinaman members to believe that the macmnery‘ was bid for in the open market. While ‘Western manufacturers do not wonder that these people should give the con- tract to themselves they are not pleased that the action should give the | impression that Chicago can make ma- | chirery any better or cheaper than | ifornia. This is where the Western | kick comes in, and at the next meeting | it will be made good and strong.” { —_————— | | | PEDESTRIANS IN DANGER.

An Object Seen Near Duluth Gives Rise to the Story. presided There Is Bright Moonlight, and a Tele- graph Operator Says ItIsa Ealloon. Special Dispatch to The Call. DULUTH, Minn., Jan, 14—What is believed to be a balloon drifted slow- ly out of the northwest at midnight, and is now suspended over Lake Su- perior, apparently about twenty-five miles from Duluth. The night operator for the North American Telegraph Company viewed the object with a powerful marine glass, and says there Is no doubt what- ever that it is a balloon. There is a bright moonlight, and wind from the west. From Duluth the balloon was sighted at fire headquarters. Night tel- egraph operators at several points have also seen it. The balloogy carries a light, which flickers, so to give it, at a distance of twenty-five miles, the appearance of a star that twinkles more than ordl- narily. TWO HARBORS, Minn, Jan. 14.— For several hours to-night a balloon with a light in it was seen over Lake Superior. The marine reporter here saw it plainly with a powerful night glass. There is no doubt about the ob- Ject being a balloon. It was visible un- til 2:30 this morning, when the sky be- came cloudy. As there has been no bal- loon ascension in this vicinity it is tak- en for granted the object seen is An- dree’s balloon, reported vesterday from British Columbia points. To Open Christ's Mission.

MRS, SHAFTER AT DEAT'S DOOR Suffering the Second Time From a Stroke of Paralysis. She Car- Falls Insensible Is En- tering Her riage. 1 Mrs. Shafter, the wife of Commanding- General Shafter of Fort Mason, has been lingering between life and death for the past few days from a stroke of paralysis. Though almost in the arms of death the relatives of the stricken woman do not give up hope and are clinging tena- ciously to every theory that may lead to possible recovery. As this is the second attack of this character grave fears are entertained for | her ultimate recovery. The first attack was received on the 1l1th of December, 1895, and since that time up to the present Mrs. Shafter has enjoyed good health. It was believed that she had entirely re- covered from the first attack, owing to the good health she was enjoying. BSince the attack Wednesday she has not re- gained corsciousness for a single mo- ment. The last attack of the dread disease was very sudden, as it was received by the unfortunate woman as she was en- tering her carriage. She had been at- tending a lecture at the-Century Club Wednesday afternoon and seemed to be in the best of health. She had gult left the lecture hall and was steppl nfi into her carriage when she fell insensible, al- ;n‘oln striking the carriage step as she ell. Just previous to her leaving the hall and during the progress of the lecture she seemed to be in sound, and to all ap- earances, perfect health, chatting to her riends and at times listening very atten. tively to the lecturer. Owing to her present condition it {s feared that unless a chafge for the bet- ter comes soon the end will not be long in relleving her of pain. The latest reports recelved from her home last night state that her condition is about the same, there being no c! e for the better and none for the worse. RUSSELL 1S CLEARLY A ROGUE Swindled His Partner Out of Large Sums and Then Decamped. Misplaced Confidence of E. W. S. Van Slyke in & Man to Whom He Gave a Place. Charles F. Russell, recently known as a partner in the insurance firm of E. W, §. Van Slyke & Co. of this city, disap- peared about ten days ago and is now supposed to be somewhere in the East. Two years since Mr. Van Slyke took Russell Into his office as a partner, at the request of ex-Senator Bibb, giving him the right to draw money from the | B banks in the firm’s name. It has lately developed that Russell al- most immediately commenced his crook- ed work by drawing checks for la amounts and filling out the correlpoxrxse- ing stubs in the check books with very much smaller amounts, charged to his “personal account.” The aggregate of robbery is not known, save to a few peo- ple, but it is said to be large.
