She is coming here for orders, but when she will arrive off the heads fs problematical and the underwriters are paying 5 per cent to re- insure the risks they have taken on the vessel. Yellow fever seems to be more feared in this instance than storms and a rock-bound coast. Shipping men are afraid that the dread scourge has broken out among the ship's crew and that she may be drifting around helpless In Cen- tral Ame can waters.

MEN TO WATCH THE FIGHT 1N THE TRANSVAAL Four Officers Ordered to Africa. The Forty-fourth Infantry has arrived | from Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Two bat-| talions came in Monday night and| marched to the Presidio yesterday morn- ing. They were the First Battalion, under | command of Major H. C. Hale, and the | Third Battalion, under Major H. B. Mec- | Coy. Major McCoy will be well remem- | bered here as the colo; of the Colorado | regiment that was mustered out at the | Presidio last September. His appoint- ment as a major in one of the new regi- | ments is in recognition of his efficient ser- vice with the volunteers of his State. The Forty-fourth Regiment Is quartered in the | old camp of the Colorado men, just inside the east gate of the post. Recent orders from Washington show that this Government is not letting any military opportunity slip through its fingers. By the orders four officers of the army were detailed to accompany the British troops in the Transvaal to inspect the maneuvers and report ugon them. The Government was notified, however, that | four officers were too many, for if that number came from each power there would be trouble accommodating them all, and it was requested that not many be sent, €0 some of the lucky ones will have to stay at home; which ones will stay is so far not known. The offi- cers detailed in the order are Colonel Samuel 8. Sumner, Sixth Cavalry; Major John P. Story, Seventh Artillery; Cap- tain Willlam W. Gibson, Ordnance De- partment, U. 8. A.. and Captain Stephen I'H. Slocum, Eighth Cavalry. The in- fantry is not represented, but it is prob- ably because the infantry has just now all it can do in_the Philippines and in Cuba and Porto Rico. Captain J. D. Leitch, Twenty-fifth in- fantry, recently ordered to join his com- mand at Fort Houston, Texas, has been appointed to the examining board to meet at that post, An examining board to meet at the Pre- sidio and examine officers for promotion has been appointed with the following | membership: Lieutenant Colonel Wallace | Randolph, Third _Artillery Lieutenant | Colonel Marion P. Maus, inspector general | of volunteers; Major Robert Gibson, sur- | aptain Sedgwick Pratt, Third Ar-| Captain James M. Kennedy, as- surgeon, and First Lieutenant | sistant Rogers F. Gardener, Third Artillery, re- | corder. The officers ordered to appear be- fore it are Second Lieutenant Alvin R. Heiberg, Sixth Cavalry; Second Lieuten- ant Ethelbert L. D. Breckinridge, Seventh Infantry; Second Lieutenant Theodore A. | Baidwin, Twenty-fourth Infantry, and | First Lieutenant John H. Wholley, Twenty-fourth Infantry. Lieutenant Wholley "{s just now the| colonel of the First Washington Volun- | teer: to be mustered out to-day. But | he has even more luck than being pro- | moted to a captaincy in the fegular army | he has been notified that he has been | | i | appointed a major in one of the new regiments to leave soon for the Philip- pines by way of the Suez canal, and as soon as his regiment has been mustered out he will join his new command. It is probable that he will be examined for his promotion in the regular service before | he goes East. He announced the fact to the regiment yesterday, and the an- nouncement was received with cheers as well as regrets that he could not be in at | the reception awaiting the returning troops. It has not even vet been settled how the Washington men are going home. They will be mustered out to-day, and if the old programme be adhered to five | companies will go home by way of the| ocean and the remaining seven by Yesterday a telesram was sent fo the reception committee asking if it could not secure transportation by rail for the | five- amphibious organizations, but no received.

SAN FRANCISCO, Soon ter getting away from the isthmus the fever broke out aboard the ship and of the St. Enoch, and the probabllities are that the reinsurance on her will take a jump during the next few da The British ship Scottish Hiils, now at Calecutta from Port Blakeley, had two nar- row escapes during the voyage. She left Puget Sound lumber laden on April 23 last { and seven days later encountered a storm that started a number of the stanchions and caused the vesel to labor so heavily that Captain Blackmore, in order to save his sh!{), jettisoned the deckload. After that all went well for a time, and then a tornado was encountered that blew the sails out of the bolt ropes and threw the ship on her beam ends. She sprang a leak, but lucklly it was not a very serious one, and port was made without any fur- ther mishap. David Walk, a carpenter, made a des perate attempt uimn iis life in the saloon on the corner of Howard and Main streets yesterday. With a penknife he cut his wrists and both sides of his neck and stabbed himself twice over the heart. At the Harbor Hospital Drs. Morrison and Dorr attended to him and as none of the wounds are serfous he will probably re- cover. Henry Steffens, barkeeper in the saloon, says that Walk was on the verge FORTUNES IN OIL, The Continental 0il and Development Co. This Company was incorporated as a close corporation, with only (000 shares of stock. to kill himself. He thought people wero chasing him to take his life and armed himself with a pistol, which Steffens took away from him. While the barkeeper was out of the room for a few minutes Walk started hacking himself and when Steffens came back the carpenter was trying to hammer the knife into his heart with his right hand, while he held the blade In position with his left. Walk had | secured a job at Livermore and was to have left for lhatglacn vesterday. | "The steamers Curacoa and Flintshire made port vesterday. The Curacoa came from Mexican ports and brought up con- siderable ore and treasure, but very few passengers. The Flintshire is from Yoko- | nama in ballast. She is to carry wheat from here to Europe for G. W. MeNear. The Government was negotiating for her with the intention of using her as a trans. | port, but as quite a number of vessels are | due’from Manila and several are now | nearly ready for troops, the chances are | the Flintshire will not be chartered.

Consequently, a person owning one share of stock will have a big interest. The Company owns by United States patent five 20-acre tracts in what {s called “The Ofl Basin,” Kings County, the richest ofl bear- ings in the entire belt.

A woman about 40 years of age, who gave the name of Mrs. Maud Clark of | Martinez, a school teacher, and said she | was stopping at the Grand Hotel, created | |'a sensation in the neighborhood of the | City Hall yesterday afternoon by quar- | reling with E. M. Carlston, a hack driver. | They were taken to police headquarters, | where Carlston alleged that the woman | had been driving In_his hack all day | and refused to pay the proper fee. He | was told to leave the woman alone and | she left on that understanding. Carlston did not keep his promise, and | when the woman jumped on a Larkin street car he drove after the car in his hack and kept shouting at her that he | wanted his money. She got off the car, and Detective Dillon and Policeman Pyle arrested Carlston and he and the woman Wwere again taken to police headquarters, She ciaimed that she had been robbed of §1% and a gold watch, but declined to charge the hackman with the robbery, and he was booked at the City Prison on a charge of disturbing the peace. Carlston said that the woman called for a hack at the Lurline Baths yesterday morning and he responded. He drove her all over the city and to the Presidio, where she met some soldiers and spent a Jot of money In buying drink for them. | She visgited a_number of saloons during | the day and finished up in Mike Smith's saloon on Larkin street, opposite the City Hall.

Since the resolution dismissing patrol- wagon drivers and substituting members of the police force in their stead was passed by the Board of Supervisors. a number of applications have Leen handed to the Police Commissioners for the oecu- paney of the vacancies. The positions at the California-street station have been by Officers James Connolly and James McGovern. Both were appointed on their merits, having been long in the service and cach bearing an enviable record.

Grotesque—Pronounced “grow-tesk.” A thing is grotesque if in form or outline it is ill-proportioned, fantastic, uncouth. This word is applied to anything of odd or extravagant shape or character. circus clown is grotesque in his make-up. Entree—Pronounced “ahng-tray,” with the last syllable accepted. An entree is a subordinate dish brought In between courses or along with or before a prin- cipal dish at dinner. The name is com- monly used on bills of fare to represent side dishes. Repartee — Pronounced ‘‘rep-ar-tee,” with the last syllable accented. A per- gon is said to be good at repartee when ready, witty or apt in reply; when ques- tlons ‘or accusations are met by quick, sharp rejoinders. Pique—Pronounced ‘“‘peek.” A feeling of slight or irritation usually caused by We may say that pe; vanity is wounded. Culture—A people are cultured who are educated and refined, as shown in their habits, inclinations, purposes, conversa- tion and aspirations. A man of culture is_not only a well-read man, but one whose knowledge has broadened and strengthened his view of life; he is gen- erous in spirit and large of heart. Esthetic—Pertaining to the science of taste or beaut: An_esthete loves the beautiful or artistic. The name is some- times applied in a cynical way to desig- nate pretended artistic taste. Nee—Pronounced “nay.” The literal meaning is “born.” This word is some- times placed before a married woman'’s | maiden name to indicate the_family to which she belongs. Mrs. Jones, nee Jackson, would indicate that Mrs. Jones’ | family name before marriage was Jack- son. Protege — Pronounced “pro-tay-szha,” with the accent on the first syllable. It means one who is under the care or pro- tection of another.

Commonly applied to people who can do a great many things and do them well. Suave—Pronounced A suave manner is one which is smooth, pleasant and gracious, but with an undercurrent of deceit. The word suave is really synony mous with courteous or bland, but in common usage there is the added meaning lowne: Cuisine—Pronounced “kwee-zeen.” This name is common! used to signify the entire cooking department of a hotel—th actual food served, the style of cooking, the cooks, the service and the entire culi- nary department. We say that a partic ular hotel is chiefly known for its excel- lent cuisine. Caustic—A thing is caustic which burns by destroying the tissue of animal sub- stances, hence this word is used to mean cutting or severely critical; as, a caustic remark. We say a sour face, sharp words, bitter complaints, caustic wit, cutting irony, biting sarcasm, a stinging taunt, harsh judgment. The caustic utterance is meant to burn, but purposely to burn out the bad. These are all very common words, and few If any of them may be new to you. They will, however, suggest the kind of word which we advise you to look up— words which are common in conversation and which you know in a general way, but which vou are not sure of. Let us now look at a few word com- parisons. Take ‘“‘custom’” and ‘“fashion’ as examples. Custom is authoritative; it stands in the place of law and regulates wahv. conduct. Fashion is arbitrary and ca- pricious; in matters of trifling import. are as unchangeable as shions are variable y ient” are also examples of words though similar, are yet different. A thing is necessary when it cannot be ; the expediency of a thing is a matter of discretion and calcu- lation. It may be expedient for one per- son to consult another, but it may not be necessar; “Character” and “reputation” are words often confused. A man's character & what he really is: his reputation is merely people’s opinfon of him. Gossip may in- jure a man's reputation, but it cannot af- fect his character. A man may have a pretty good reputation and yet a very bad character. These comparisons are inter the four words, “fanaticism “Intolerance” and ‘'supers are all of the same famil vet the are very different in their application. fanatic is one who is extravagant and nd foolish in his zeal for a particular cause. A bigot is obstinate and unreasoning in his attachment to a cause ism_and bigotry include intoler- ance, which is an unwillingness to tol- erate any belief or opinfon contrary to one’s own. Superstition is ignorant or frrational faith, such as believing in omens or magic. Bigotry is narrow, fanaticism is fierce, superstition is ignor- ant, intolerance is severe. Look up “insurrection” and “rebellion, ’’ and ‘“equity,” ‘“‘option” ‘‘counsel and i and ‘“evade, or a cCreed. ‘“‘delusion” and “illu- asm,” ‘“foreign" and ‘‘alien, ‘abstai and “refrain, “‘vicinity” and “locality,” “defect and “deficient.” You will find the exercise a good one.
