Chief Officer Deering was thrown | against a stanchion, and still walks with a limp as a consequence. One of the fire- men had his scalp cut, and the firemen's mess boy still carries his arm in a sling room. One of the quartermasters was also hurt. Dr. Beverley Clark lost his pet monkey overboard. The little animal escaped from the doctor's room during the storm, and some of the sailors attempted to catch| it. The monkey got on the lee rall and seemed fascinated with the sight of the raging waters. As the men made a grab at it the monkey put its paws together and, taking the attitude of a diver ready for the plunge, went overboard. Dr. Clark threw his pet a rope, but, although it| could be seen swimming in the heavy sea, it could not reach the rope, and was drowned. That was the only fatality dur- ing the voyage. Chief Stéeward James has a enap shot of the wave that nearly cost him his life. He had just pressed the button when the sea broke aboard and carried *“‘Tom and his camera into the scuppers. The same wave carried away two of the ship's boats and smashed them into kindling wood; so everybody aboard is anxious to see that negative developed. The following pasgsengers came up on the Zealandla Major Charles McClure, paymaster, U. S. A. Caslnln C. L. Pot- ter, Engineer Corps, . A McClure, George Gibson Mc “ Sittig and J. R. Du Chaucy, pay clerks, U. 8. A.; Captain T. P. Dorris, master of the wrecked transport Morgan City; J. J. Kenney and Willlam Keemer, dis- charged soldlers, and C. D. Robinson. The latter gentleman is in the contracting and stevedoring business at Manila, and has for a partner Fred Macondray, formerly | yurser of the transport Valencia. They | }md the contract to get the United States | cable -ship Hooker off the rocks at Cor- | regidor, but falled, and the wreck has| been abandoned. The Hooker was formerly the Spanish | soon | after the outbreak of the war and turned | into a United States transport. She was sent to Manila with a cable for an inter- island service, but was wrecked. All the cable was got out of her by Robinson & Macondray’'s men, but an examination by divers showed that there was a hole | thirty feet long {n4he hull, and that the machinery and boilers and everything else in the hull were loose. The vessel was then left to Its fate. Mr. Robinson says that the Filipinos are beaten, and that several of the captured {nsurgents so ac- knowledged to him before he left Manila. “They told me when talking about the fighting,” said Mr. Robinson yesterday, “that they had been ‘beaten good." From now on think there will be little eise but guerrilla warfare. Lawton and Mac- Arthur have the island divided between them, and Agulnaldo was In a corner when we left. The cavalry has done splendid service in Luzon, but ”"""f. :A\Ic ncle Sam should send horses afld not men from this time on, as the mounted troops will end the warfare and not the in- fantry.” Captain Dorris of the wrecked Morgan City comes home completely exonerated from all blame by the Japanese court of inquiry. *Going through the inland sea I had a pilot who had been twenty y in the business,” sald he yesterda “nevertheless he lost his way and ran the Morgan City hard and fast on the | beach. 1 had been continuously on the bridge for twenty-six hours and went be- | low to get a mouthful to eat. Twenty minutes later the crash came. The offi- cers of the regiment we had aboard kept | eplendid_discipline, and there was no | panic. E\‘er\'hodf’ was landed and no one hurt.” ‘While the court exonerated Captain Dorris the pllot lost his com- mission and will never be able to navi- gate the inland waters as a master again. ‘While the Zealandia was at Manila Cap- tain J. Wallace of the American !h!% J. B. Walker was married to a Miss Mc- Kenzie of Yokohama. The young lady went to Manila, and there the ceremony Mrs. Wallace is now on her way_to New York with her husband on the J. B. Walker. Captain Wallace i{s the son of the well-known San Fran- sco pilot. dThephe:\ns of the priests at Malate were made glad by the return of over $12,000 worth of valuable relics while the Zealandia was In Manila Bay. A com- pany of engineers drove a body of in- surgents out of a small town and there found a lot of loot which the Fili !l"m: i rst Sergeant Reardon of Company A, Engl- neer Corps, was sent to notify the fath- ers that they could have the church Jroperty whenever they wanted it. The J0¥Tot the priests was very great, as they never expected to see the relics again. The bodies of Captain H. J. McGrath of the Fourth Cavalry, H. H. Hopkins, Company F, First California, and Frank J. Murray, Company A, First California, arrived on the transport. Captain Mec- Grath was killed a few days before the Zealandia reached the Philippines. He was out on the south firing line and was shot in the leg. The wounded man v‘vlas ut died a few days later. Hopkins and Mur- ray were shot early in the war and were burfed in Manila. Their remains came home consigned to vor Phelan. FUNERAL OF MRS. CROWLEY. Remains of the Wife of the ex-Chief of Police Interred at Calvary Cemetery. The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary A. Crowley, wife of ex-Chlef of Police Pat- rick Crowley, was held yesterday after- noon from the family residence, 1629 Sac- ramento _street. Notwithstanding the wish of the bereav- ed relatives that the funeral should be strictly private and that no flowers be Sent, friends of the deceased lady respect- ed and loved her so well for her many admirable qualities that they sent an abundance of floral emblems and man: attended the funeral.

TEACHERS ARE INDIGNANT BOND FIGHT BRINGS PHELAN AGAIN TO THE FRONT. AL B He Effects Another Compromise With the Gas Company and Lighting Contracts Go Over for Six Months. e The attempt of P. A. Bergerot, Presi- dent of the Board of Education, to make a postal card canvass of the School De-. partment, in order to fix himself more firmly in the good graces of Mayor Phe- lan, has got the dapper little head of things educational into several different temperatures of hot water. His fellow members on the School Board, who are not out for office, are giving him the laugh in his discomfiture. The teachers among whom Bergerot tried to do his politics, and the members of the women's clubs who have been agitating the project to have Mayor Phelan appoint two women educators to the incoming School Board, have risen in their indignation and are hurling at the Bergerot head large and well-seasoned bunches of criticism and accusations of varied character. To the postal cards which Bergerot sent out the other day, in which he demanded that every teacher in the Department de- clare herself either for or ainst the proposition, Bergerot attached his official signature as_ President of the Board of Education. It was a clever device, for it gave to Bergerot's private political aspi- rations the semblance of officlal authoriz- ation. The only drawback to it was that every teacher who got a postal discovered the scheme and then got mad. So far Mr. Bergerot has recelved only forty odd replies to his list of questions and according to a prominent teacher in the department who was speaking of the matter yesterday he can expect few more, Referring to the feeling against Bergerot she said: “President Ber’emt has simply used his official position in an mtemgt to curry fayvor with Mayor Phelan. ie has not only done that but he has tried to make his capital out of us. I ho&: he is sat- isfled with the result. If Mr. Bergerot wants a position on the next School Board he has no right to attempt to use the de- partment to further his personal ends. If Wwe want women on_the next board we will Inform Mayor Phelan and not Mr. Bergerot, of whose appointment as the S‘Inygrs agent we have not yet had no- tice. The forty and odd postals received in reply to Bergerot indicate a mixed desire. Some favor no women, others one woman and others two women. Nearly all of them, however, agree that Superintendent Webster should appoint a woman as one of his deputles. A campaign with that object in view has been started and the opposition to W. D. Kingsbury's appoint- ment, which has already developed, is strengthening. Kingsbury is in disfavor with many of the leading lights of the department and many wires are being pulled to compel Webster to give that particular (lt'pul)‘shlg to some woman teacher. Otherwise the Board of Educa- tion slate stands as whyn last announced. Mayor Phelan’s singular silence regard- ing appointments is worrying the job chasers. It is already near the middle of the last month and the Civil Service Commission, upon which so much de- pends, s hot yet announced, and the “‘poilles,” who ‘have lately accustomed themselves to a polish of grammar and simple arithmetic, fear it will all wear off before they have a chance to use it. The bond elections are dividing interest with the main question and the fight that was started against them has resulted in bringing the Mayor into the arena, pan- handle in hand, to direct a_counter cam- paign. Registration for the panhandle election will close to-morrow night and the sewer and schoolhouse bonds on Thursday night of this week. Mayor Phelan has finally had a talk upon_the street-lighting contracts with J, B. Crockett, president of the Gas and Electric Company, and in a letter which he has addressed to the Board of Su- pervisors, says that the company has agreed to furnish street lights at the com- promise price fixed last June, untll the end of the next half of the fiscal year. Mayor Phelan has agreed on his part to have the late bids of the company either lald on the table or rejected until the rate is regularly fixed by the charter Board of Bupervisors. 3 e INHALED TOO MUCH GAS. Lena Yepson, Waitress in a Restau- rant, Found Unconscious in Bed. Lena Yepson, a waltress in A. 0. Quim- by's restaurant, %69 Howard street, had a narrow escape yesterday from being a vietim to carbon monoxide. She resides in the Orlando House, Sixth and Howard streets, and was discovered in bed during the morning with the gas turned on. Her window was fortunately slightly open, otherwise she would have been a subject for the Morgue. Miss Ycr!on was taken to<the Recelving Hospital in the ambulance and was scon pronounced out of danger. She sald she went to Saturday night about 9 o'clock, and how the gas got turned on is a mystery to her, as she declared she did not do it herself. It is supposed she did it accidentally.

THE FOOLS OF SHAKES- PEARE. (Concluded.) It 18 evident then, that Ehakespeare places even the lowest order of his clowns in intimate relation to the main actions of the plays. In thelr simplicity they not only throw light on the conduct of the main characters and unwittingly let out the truth about these, but they keep the principal idea prominent by their actions. Even thelr vulgarity counts. Of only two of the early comedies can it be sald that the clowns are without appreciable influ- ence upon the plots—the “Comedy of Er- rors” and “The Taming of the Shrew.” These show the 'prentice hand. In them the clowns stand apart from the action of the plays. Yet it is to be remembered that in all cf the plays preceding Shakes- peare the clown parts furnished nothing but irrelevant buffoonery. The wonder 13 that he discovered so soon the dramatic possibilities of the fool and made him mean something in the dramatic scheme. ‘We may notice, too, in the early comedies T s Tragic Newly imprinttd and enlarged to almoft a3 much - :gaiz:guiz wassaccording to thetrue and perfect Coppie: AT LONDOR Sooppe bal invention, to which the adjective “Shakespearean” is applled. In the two plays last named he seems to revel innaw- found powers and to set no bounds to their exercise; profusion of epithet de- lights him. It can be easily understood how the fool element gave free play to his language Inventiveness. The fool might be garrulous, inconsequential, In- exact and reckless in speech, but he was expected to be ready and venturesome. The fool-speeches may be regarded in these early comedies as so many experi- ments In language. They test and try one phrase after another to find out how much it will yleld. The fool seems to lis- ten to his cwn words in order to discover thelr remotest suggestions as a basis for his new ventures In wordy warfare. | Much of Shakespeare's later ingenuity in phrasemaking and much of the ease and scope of his later diction can be traced to the freedom with which he was permitted to manage the language of the fools in his earliest plays. Leaving the instinctive fools, llke Cos- tard and Launce, and the mechanical buf- foons like Grumio, and Dromlo of Ephe- sus, we reach the plays in which Shakes- peare has presented fools of a higher or | der, the fools of consclous | dom—like those in ‘Lear,” “Twelfth Night” and “As You Like It."” These men | know what they are about; they are in part, however much they may dissemble. Kent discovers that Lear’s boy is not all fool, and although Cella refers to Touch- stone as 1 “natural.” Jaques finds in him the real character of humorist and phi- losopher. Either Touchstone is wondrous skillful in the first act In passing for a pure fool or there are two fools in the play. Dr. Furness puts the question thus: “Is the ‘clownish fool' and the ‘roguish clown’ of the first act, with his bald jests of knights and pancakes, the Touchstone of the fifth act, who has trod a meas- ure, flattered a lady, been politic with his friend and smooth with his enemy? I the simpleton of the first act ‘nature’s natural’ as he is in truth, the same with the Touchstone who can cite Ovid and quarrel in print by the book? Are there not here two separate characters?” there are two fools it cannot be doubted which of the two is the real Touchstone, the real tester of human quality and char- acter and social situation, as the name Touchstone Indicates. When Rosalind says: hou speakest wiser than thou art *ware of,” Touchstone humors the bellef that he is an innocent: “Nay, I shall break my shins against it.” He is willing to please and to be pleased, whatever es- timate may be nut on his abllitles. He is content with the world, though he does ke to parody its shams. Soclety does not belleve more strongly than Touch- stone, in talking with Corin, pretends to belleve that bad manners mean damna- tion. ““Why, if thou never wast at court, never sawest good manners, then manners must be wicked, and wickedness is sin, and sin is damnation. Thou art in alllance with Audrey is his humorous sa- tire on {ll-mated couples and marriages not based upon true love. It is “a poor humor” of his to take ill-favored Audrey because she is honest. The etiquette of quarreling and other overwrought schemes of etiquette were never treated with such delicious satire as Touchstone’s in the famou: s disserta- tion on the “seventh cause” (Act V, scene 4). And how ridiculous does this wise and pleasant fool render those ever- dreary and ever-renewed discussions of the relative merits of city and country life, which usually come to naught, be- cause they assume that real happiness de- pends on where a man lives rather than on what he is! Touchstone finds the line with nature, but they are playing a | ne'er be 'ware of mine own wit till I| thou never sawest good manners; if thou | thy | a parlous state, shepherd.” Touchstone's | all Hiftorie of HAMLET, Prince of Denmarke.

He breathes the romantic alr of the for- est, like his betters, and s kept in har- mony with the prevalling mood of the play, to which he imparts a humorously moralizing element. . Feste, the fool in “Twelfth Night"” is not so wise as Touchstone, but he Is more quick and facile. Shakespears per- mits him to enjoy and understand almost all of the other people in the play, an ld\‘l-n!lfio which 1s denied to all ve Feste. he is not so Intimately wrought into the texture of the plot as Touch- stone in “As You Like It,” he seems to rresldl over it everywhere. He can hard- y be blamed for feeling his superiority, for he is the keenest of observers, and of all Shakespeare's fools the most versa- tile. He feels both the comedy and the romance of the changing situations, and adapts himself to all of them with ease d xenlulq. is ululll{ ready witl t The brightest of fool In very gracious foolin, h “a love song or a song of ood life” for Sir ‘oh?-, and can as easily please the duke’s lovesick hu- mor (which he knows to be half fudge) with a senti- mental song of woe. The chief function of the Shakespear- ian fool as critlo of the other char- acters | emplied in Fes more lainly than in the 0ols of the other comedies. For in this play the other characters are 8o engrossed with love or wine or self-con- ceit that the fool may criticize them Im{mruany and boldly, without dan- er to himself. He as his fliing _at Martfa, Olivia, Mal- vollo and Sir Toby in a single sceno (act 1, scene §), and before the play is done he has exhibit- ed the fallings of the others (act II scene 3; act II, 4; 11, 1; IV, 2). He even depreciates his own office, calling himselt Ollvla'; in spite of ident pride in accomplish- ments. And at the last Shakespearp leaves him on tho stage to sing con- tentedly of the folly of men and of the rain falling on just and unjust. “Agreat while ago the world begun,” and Feste 18 not troubled that it hasn't improved faster.

Isaac Selby Contrasts Their Teache« ings at Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. Isaac Selby contrasted the teachings of ses and Darwin yesterday afterncon before a large audlence in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. He contended that Dar- win's theory of the origin of man was absolutely false and that the only true solution of the problem of man's axistance les in his creation by God, who had con- fided to Moses by revelation. “Darwin comes to us,” said Mr. Selby, “with certain speculations of sclence, while Moses comes to us with the word of God regardln{f man’s creation, and t! latter 1s entitled to our fullest credenc While we must credit Charles Darwin with all he has contributed to natural sclence and place him among the great men of the world, we need not Indorse his speculative opinion. “Darwin introduced the subfect of evo- lution and based it on the similarity of structure in the animal world, but this similarity only goes to show that the same mind created both the lower and higher cles. It manifests God's uniformity with which his plans in nature were con- celved. Darwin’s arguments based on the rudimentary organs and the sclence of embryology, which teaches the condition of Iife before birth, prove nothing or prove too much. “*All that Darwin has discovered Moses told many years before in the Book of Life and it proves only that God created the simpler forms of ‘life first, and the complex later, finishing up with the sixth day. Darwin's confe perfections in his genealogical recorc 1 cer tainly disproves his other reasonings by analogy and demonstrate that Moses® story of the creation was the only logical and correct one.” —_——— Appeal for Hospital Donations. In view of the near approach of Christ- mas, when everybody is supposed to be engaged in preparing a happy surprise for some relative or friend, it has been suggested that the inmates of the City | and County Hospital should not be over- looked by the charitably inclined people of the city. Donations of old linen, clothes, lint, easy chairs and blankets shepherd's life “in respect to itself’ a | will be gratefully received for the use verz good 1if ‘but in respect that it is | and comfort of the patients of that in- a shepherd's life, it is naught”—and with | stitution. An insufficient appropriation mock seriousness he continues to pair off the advantages and disadvantages (Act III, scene 2) as his betters have done be- fore and since, purposely missing the main points that would have made the dl-'cela-u&n Iw:mh !!vbl.l:i.m ues is su; po! n elfin 'ouchstone's character (act 1I, scene 7), but the Duke for the proper conduct of the hospital fs said to have compelled the most rigid economy in its management, hence .Tf». nations such as those referred to would be particularly acceptable at this time. Miss May Patton, head nurse at the hos- pital, also suggests a theater party the nurses.
