A pint of whisky nearly caused the death of little Robert Taylor yesterday afternoon. The lad, who is about § yvears of age and who resides at 238 Buena Vista (Bernal Heights), dis- covered a bottle of the intoxicant about the house, and proceeded to stow it away with the avidity of a water-front lush. | About an hour afterward he staeered | into a room where his parents were and announced that he was drunk. At first they thought him to be joking, but an ing of the empty flask disclosed the truth, and he was immediatelv given an ~metic. Dr. W. R. Scroggs was sent for, but when he arrived the child was uncon- physician, after administering available remedies, called an ambulance and the lit- tle sufferer was taken to the City and | County Hospital. His pulsation dropped | from nearly 150 to almost nothing, and | for a time his life was despaired of. He remained unconscious until late = last night, when the doctors announced that he was slowly recovering. ——————————— RESHIPPING TEA. ing Paid at This Port Under a New System. Since Congress imposed a duty of 10 cents per pound upon tea, up to April 1, 1899, there have been collected at the port of San Francisco $§51,61160 duties on the fragrant herb. Outside of the addition to the receipts at the San Francisco Cus- tom-house the import duty on tea has benefited the commerce of San Francisco in another way. Heretofore it has been the custom for importers of tea designed for sale and consumption outside of Cali- | fornia to ship to New York, pay the duty there and reship to St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Denver and other markets. This' custom is being abandoned and im- orters are adopting the practice of pay- Pog the duty at this port and shipping direct to the Eastern markets from San Francisco. 7 Thus, instead of shipping to New York and going 'to the additional and unnec- essary expense of reshipping back to St. Louis or Denver, the tea is left here in the warehouse and shippea whenever needed. —_——— EPPERSON ‘AN EX-CONVICT. in San Quentin Prison. ‘W. C. Epperson, the diamond thief who is held at the City Prison for his ex- ploits in the jewelry stores of W. C. Tabor and 8. Schwarz, was positively old hand in his particular line. Detec- tive Hodgkins of Oakland called at the ren Wilson, who served six in the Banta Clara County similar offense. Ep&)erson. alias Wilson, went to Oakland and tried his arts on a jewelry store at that place. He was arrested and con- victed of grand larceny and on March 17, 1898, was sentenced to fifteen months’ imprisonment at San Quentin. 3 n the 2d of this month Epperson, or ‘Wilson, was released from prison, and the very next day was in'this city at his old tricks. He had a short shrift, how- ever, and the indications point to a long return trip for him to State’s Prison. ———————— Ocean Water Tub Baths, 101 Seventh st.. corner Mission.

From the beginning of | the game Hartman had manifested evi- | dence of eccentricity, particularly in | throwing to bases; but in the fourth inn- ing he sealed his doom. with a single to left, and was followed by Franks, who was safe on_Riley's error, Harper going to second. McCarthy went to bat, and the first ball pitched got away | from 'Hartman, permitting both _ba runners to advance a notch. Harris called Sulllvan In to catch, sending Pyne | [ e e S S SCER SRR ) DU TONI AP S D S ABD AP D PoSITION| { @ tO 4O+ 000+ 0+Q to first and Hartman to center. Me- Carthy lifted the ball high in the air, and Hartman waited for it to come down. When it did it struck his hands fairly and bounced out again, letting Harper and Franks home. “Hartman was called to the bench, Fitzpatrick taking his place in the field. Uncle talked to the young man more in sorrow than in anger, tell- ing him that he might be all right for Se- u({le and the Northwest League, but Cal- ifornia had advanced bef'ond the game of 1870; ‘he might catch cold or a_streetcar, | but he couldn’t catch for the San Fran- cisco team. Hartman shed his uniform | and a few tears and sallied forth to look | for another job. With “Tacks" Parrott | and his doughnut-wooing cornet on the | other side of the continent, the world | looks dark to the unhappy Hartman just now. But such is the fortune of base- ball. Yesterday’'s game also brought woe te another youth, Lawler, who has been making a bluff at covering right field for ‘Watsonville, satisfied Manager Streun that he was out of his element, so last night he received his discharge. What Lawler needs is a billet with an under- taker; baseball is too rapid Zor his phleg- matic disposition. Streub will play his change pitcher in right until Hansen gets into condition, and then le will have his team complete. Notwithstanding these two unhappy oc- currences_the fame ‘was replete with epi- sode and kept the 6000 spectators shouting | ed in bewildering profusion, and while the crowd showed more loyalty to the home team than has been the case in past sea- sons, the good work of the visitors was enerously applauded. The star Elay of he day was made by Franks in the fifth inning, when he made a Jerry Denny left- handed dplckup of Hilderbrandt's scorcher and fielded the batsman out at first before Hilderbrandt could get a dozen feet on his journey.

FRESNO, April 16.—Fully 1200 people witnessed the opening of the baseball poac son in Fresno to-day, in a hotly contes . game between Fresno and Bakersfield, t De latter team winning by a score of 11 to 10.

Runs by - much better support, and therein lies the secret of the victory. The San Franciscos ordinarily are terrific hitters, but when they go up against such a pitcher as Har- per their slugging abilities will not offset their own bungles. Four errors aside from Hartman's brace of misdeeds had some bearing on the score. But there is one thing about them the public admires, and that is they go for everything in sight, no matter how difficult it is to reach. The bitterness of defeat is sweetened in a measure, however, by the consoling re- flection that Sacramento having dropped two_games to the lobsters, all'the teams are bunched. by San Francisco got a hit but no runs in the first inning, while Watsonville set- tled down to accumulating tallies right at | the outset.
