Fearing Another Hearing Before the Commissioners, He Wisely Concludes to Resign. Policeman Vouraky, the linguist of the Police Department, has tendered his resignation to the Police Commis- sioners. Harassed by his creditors and dis- the life of a policeman, Vouraky, acting under the advice of his father-in-law, decided to sever his con- nection with the department. A few weeks ago Vouraky was before the Commissioners charged with unofficer- like conduct. The evidence showed that he and his wife had boarded a street car intending to go to Golden Gate Park. Vouraky tendered the con- ductor a ten-cent plece and not know- ing that he was a member of the police | force he rang up two fares. Not re- celving the nickel in change that he had expected, Vouraky showed his star, and In a boisterous manner proceeded to call the conductor to an account. The latter explained that he did not | know that Vouraky was a policeman, but as he had registered both fares he | advised him to see the superintendent, who, he thought, would rectify the mis- take. Vouraky subsequently went to the office of the superintendent and ex- hibiting his star threatened to “pinch’” those present unless the nickel which he claimed he was robbed of was promptly forthcoming. Instead of being received with open as he thought, the superintend- ther coldly informed him that if he wanted the nickel he would have to commence suit against the company. Vouraky then left, after vowing ven- geance against the superintendent and everybody connected with the rallroad. Angered at his conduct the superin- tendent on the following day visited police headquarters and reported the urrence to Chief Lees. The latter, fter listening to the story, advised wim to prefer charges against the po- liceman. The case was heard by the Commissioners and Vouraky was se- ly reprimanded for what Judge To- bin, the president of the board, termed his consummate cheek. Since then his creditors have been “hot on his trail,” as one cf his superior officers expressed it, and knowing that he would again be brought before the Commissioners for refusing to pay his debts he wisely concluded to hand in his resignation. —_————— MEN OF THE WHEEL.

A Sagacious Dog Who Passed Away Recently at a Ripe Old Age. “Bob” is dead. He was not a human being, but a plain, ordihary Scotch ter- rier who gained distinction by living to a ripe old age and Kkilllng nearly two million rats. These rodents were crushed between the jaws of the sagacious canine dur- ing his twenty-four years’ lease of life in and about the vicinity of the Cali- fornia Market. “Bob” was beloved by the visitors to Collins & Wheeland’s saloon, and his death will be sad news to them. He was known as the pioneer dog, and was celebrated the world over for his steady habits and clever ways. “Bob” drifted into the well-known resort when a puppy and was so well satis- fied with his surroundings that he took up his abode there. g He soon arrived at an age when the rats in the neighborhood feared him. in his prime averaged forty rodents a day. The dog's regular habits won him recognition. Every day between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock he would nudge a customer on the shin and ap- peal for a drink. Water would always be given him and he would follow his usual custom of making war on the enemy. In the evening he would dig- nifiedly trot to Bush and Montgomery or Sacramento and Montgomery for ex- |, ercise. This trip he never missed. The dead dog was the especial pet of old-timers. George Barnes, the well- known newspaper man, now passed away, devoted a half column to de- scribing his habits. Many tales are told of his cleverness. “Bob” followed his favorite pursuit up tola few hours of his death. A dead rodent in the corner attested to his success in that line. The rat must have been a frisky one, as the exertion proved too much for *“Bob,” and he joined his enemy. “Bob” will be cremated to-day. This ing request apd it vl be carried out. SPIRKTUALISTS ELECT STATE OFFICERS SECOND DAY’S SESSION OF THE ANNUAL CONVENTION. | It Was Decided to Affiliate the State Association With the National. The second day’'s session of the third annual convention of the State Spiritual- ists' Association opened In Occidental Hall yesterday morning. A number of amendments to the consti tution were presented, with a view to per- fecting the by-laws, and resolutions were introduced providing for a reduction of the fee for ordination and increasing the representation of the societies. After an hour’s discussion, it was decided to af- n}m:e the State with the Natlonal Asso- clation. In the afternoon the following officers were elected for the ensulng year: M. S. Martin, president; Dr. Johnson of San Jose, vice-president; G. Newman, secre- tary; B. F. Small, treasurer. Directors— C. fi ‘Wadsworth, Mrs. H. E.

It is proposed by the new officers to have a census taken of all the spirit- ualists In the State, and a register will be opened at Metropolitan Hall to-day. In the evening a very enjoyable social meeting was held in Metropolitan Hall, opening with an overture on the organ by rofessor_ J. W. Southwell.

OBJECTS OF THE SCHOOL BENEDICTION CONCLUDES THE SACRED CEREMONY. A Large Congregation of Visitors Listen to an Address in the Little Chapel of the Convent. i The new addition to the Notre Dame Convent on Dolores street was solemnly consecrated yesterday afternoon by Arch- bishop Riordan. , Immediately after the formal blessing | of the new structure, with incense and prayer, benediction was solemnized in the convent chapel before a large congrega- | tion of visitors to the new home of the sisters. The Archbishop in a brief address out- lined the purpose of the new structure, and the necessity of education in the principles of religion. ““We have assembled to-day,” he said, ‘‘to congratulate the Sisters in their reali- zation of a hope of many years. In the erection of the imposing and magnificent structure which Is sacredly blessed to-day they have asked for no aid from the pub- lic. Through frugality and saving they have amassed sufficient money to dedicate to God and to those who are sent under their care the building Which bears tke name of their order. Now that these hopes have been realized we, their friends, have come to offer them our heartfelt con- gratulations. “This beautiful home of the Sisters rep- resents a great Catholic principle. It rep- resents the thorough and the careful de- velopment of the souls entrusted to the care of the noble women in charge. “It has ever been a most important question as to what our duty should be toward our children, They are growin up part and parcel of the community, an attention should be given to their devel- opment. The development and cultivation of the soul's faculties should be our para- | mount thought. Therefore, the soul from\ | the very inception of reason should be taught the love of God by a thorough and | gradual inculcation of religion. The first | words on the lips of a human being should | be in praise of his Maker.. The world in which we live is simply a trial, a prepara- tion as it were, for the world to come. The proper education of children is the most important question in_ church Jand | state. Upon it depends the future of the count This education, in order to ac- complish the end for which it is given must be coupled with religious training. “The future of our church depends not largely but entirely on the education of | our children. We rejoice, therefore, that a home for Christian education has been provided by these good Sisters of Notre | ame. For forty vears these good nuns | have given their lives in the education of thousands of girls, who have left them | and their school to exert a salutary in- fluence in the community.” The benediction service was sung by graduates of the comvent, present en- rolled pupils and friends, ‘Among _the grincipal singers were: Sopranos,’ Miss . Noon, Miss Julia Sullivan and_ Miss M. Flood; contraltos, Miss Mary Noon, Miss T. Pamba, the' Misses Marie and Annie Gary and Mrs. Napolinoi; tenors, Mrs. C. Sommers, Miss M. . Spillane, M G.

A little bunko game hatched by William H., Brown and James cDonald, who hoped to relleve a returned Klondiker of his hard earned gold, was stopped by the two worthy gentlemen being arrested on the charge of vagrancy by Policeman Leonard, who had heard of their desire and efforts to fleece Robert Brown, who is stopping at the Russ House. Mr. Brown returned from the gold fields something over a week ago anu took a room at the Ahlborn House. /While there he was spotted by his namesake and Mc- Donald, who immediately investigated his financial condition and finding that his yvear's labor in Alaska had netted the | miner a goodly share of nuggets, began to devise ways and means to secure the gold for their own use. They soon made friends with him, and one or the other was with him constantly. The friendship of the men was at first rather acceptable to the returned Klon- diker, who was a stranger in the city, but thelr 'attentions at last became too con- stant and he began to tire of his new- found friends. Without any suspicion that the men had any designs on his gold, but simply wishing to be rid of their soclety, PBrown changed his quarters to the Russ House, neglecting to inform them of his removal. It took the shrewd McDonaid and Brown but a short time to find their pros- pective prey and they soon had him in tow again. Their little scheme would probably have succeeded had not W. H. Brown been 50 well known in the clty. A banking man in_business directly across him as a bunko man, and when he noticed him being with the miner so much sus- pected something in the criminal line was contemplated and_notified the policeman. The policeman knew both the men as Eersons who would bear watching, and elieving, as his informant, that they were planning to rob the miner, arrestod them on the charge of vagrancy. W. H. Brown is a_well known bunko man, and the police think that the public is much ‘s)nfer with him and McDonald behind the ars. —_—— STABBED IN REVENGE. A Discarded Suitor Murderously As- saults the Sister of the Girl He Loved. A young woman, who gave her name as Annie Reed, called at the Harbor Receiv- ing Hospital yesterday to have two knife wounds dressed. Dr. H. E. Morrison sewed an eight-inch wound on her arm and a two-Inch gash over her eye. ‘The patient gave an assumed name and a wrong address in an effort to hide her identity. She said she was stabbed by an intoxicated man on Francisco street while returning from a dance early yesterday morning. Her cousin, who accompanied her to the hospital, sald her assailant was 2 man who had a grudge against her for spolling his chance of winning her sister. The wounded woman declines to report the murderous assault to the po- lice, fearing the attendant notoriety. DISEASED MEAT FOR THE EIGHTH Contractor Samson to Be Prosecuted. DENIALS OF WHOLESALERS ENOUGH BACILLI TO INFECT THE WHOLE REGI MENT. Dr. Baker Maintains the Beef Was Never Passed by the United States Government Inspector, e ’ CAMP BARRETT, SATHER TRACT, Sept. 3.—The only two topics of discus- sion among the men of the Eighth Reg- iment to-day were the discovery of in- fected and diseased beef mentioned in to-day’s Call. and the fact that the regiment is not included in the mus- tered out regiments. Over this latter fact the soldiers are rejoicing. From | the day of their arrival in camp they have contented themselves with what- ever fell to their lot. They have neither grumbled over not being sent to the front nor petitioned to be sent home. The men are considerably agitated, however, over the meat scandal. ~The diseased beef in question contained suf- ficient bacilli of tuberculosis to spread this dread disease throughout the en- tire regiment, and, as one of the offi- cers put it to-day, “the action of Sam- son’s market in supplying such infect- ed meat for personal gain and with- out any regard for the health and wel- fare of the men who are willing to sac- rifice their lives for the nation is out- rageous.” Dr. Baker, head of the Government inspection service on this coast, was in Oakland to-day and inspected the meat which was seized by the health au- thorities. He declared that no United States inspector had ever passed such meat. It was claimed that the beef was received by Samson from the Western Meat Company, but a repre- sentative from that concern denies that it came from their slaughter-houses at Baden. The health authorities now propose to prosecute Samson under the Oakland ordinance. M. M. Samson, the contractor who supplied the meat, states that the pres- ent difficulty comes from the enmity existihg between Inspector Pierce and himself, and because he is not a mem- ber of the butchers’ association. He admits, however, that one of the car- casses had a boil on its neck, but that it was all inspected meat and therefoge wholesome. The funeral of George Perry of Com- pany B, Eighth Regiment, who died at Fabiola " Hospital yesterday from typhold fever contracted at Camp Bar- rett, took place this afternoon from Albert Brown’'s parlors in Oa''~nd. His comrades gathered under cor L.and of the officers at the parlors and after- ward escorted the body to the train for San Jose, where the parents of deceased eside. Perry was 19 years of age and is was the first case of typhiod in the camp. The funeral of Barton J. Brown, the Jowa soldler who died across the bay, was held about the same time at the same place and about twenty-four com- rades escorted the remains to the train for shipment to Iowa. To-night 'Rev.
