Betting. il e R “Jack’ O'Brien, who “laid down” to young “Peter Jackson,” the colored fighter, at Woodward's Pavilion on Wednesday night, threatens to make a punching bag of “Billy” White, his erst- while manager and confidential agent. Now that the story of how O’Brien “faked” the fight with Jackson is evident, the Eastern scrapper, seeing that his pugilistic glory has completely vanishel | and that he must “‘go back to hard graft, much as he dislikes to, is making all kinds of threats against White, claiming that he jobbed him. The *‘job” consists in White placing O’Brien's money on the wrong line of the paris mutuels. O’'Brien, after consenting to fake the fight with Jackson, agreed Lo go out in the thirteenth round. ~He gave White all his available money to bet on the second line, expecting to reap a golden harvest. White and his friend McCribbin lost no time in visiting the poolrooms and placing the money for O'Brien. After the fight White learned that in all the poolrooms, except Corbett’s, the thirteenth round was in- | cluded in the third line and that the big- gest portion of O'Brien’s money was then being paid over to the men who backed the colored fighter.

Le Breton 1AM OF GRAY AND MITCHELL 1S DISSOLVED Interests in Business| Are Divided. The principal topio of conversation | along the front yesterday was the disso- lution of the well known house of Gray & Mitchell, wholesale lumber dealers and ship owners. There has been some little friction between the partners ever since the steamer Homer, chartered by the firm at so much a day, was tled up for nearly a month in Coos Bay owing to heavy weather. the use and benefit of the two chlidren of Albert J. Le Breton, Margaret and David Le Breton. The will is holographic and was drawn April 14, 1897 The charter of the Del Norte | also did not turn out as satisfactorily as| | was expected, so a few days ago the dis- solution was decided upon. By the terms of the agreement Mr. Gray retains all the lumber interests of the concern, while Mr. Mitchell becomes the managing owner of the steamers. | The firm of Gray & Mitchell, composed of George D. Gray and William A. Mitch- | ell, was formed about two years ago. During that time the firm had built for it | the steamers Alliance, Fulton and Dis-| atch, while it has now ready for launch- | ng at Eureka the fine big 220-foot steamer | Nome City. Besides these vessels the firm | has under charter the steamers Homer and Del Norte, while a few days ago it turned back to the owners the steamer Brunswick. The steamers over which Mr Mitchell will now exercise supreme com- | mand are _the finest of their’class on the | coast, and all of them will go into the Nome trade in the spring. The new | steamer now nearing completion is a | larger vessel than the Humboldt and will have cabin accommodations for over one hundred passengers. She was originally intended for a steam schooner, but has | been remodeled and turned into a first class passenger steamer. The California Ship Company has pur- chased the American ship John Currier now loading at Hongkong for Puget Sound. At Tacoma she will load lumber for Australia and will then come to San Francisco with a load of coal. John Rosenfeld’s Sons have also pur- chased the American ship P. N. Blanch- ard, now loading coal at Baltimore for San Francisco. Both vessels will go into the coasting trade on their arrival here.

Is Judge Seawell vesterday rendered a de- cision holding that the removal of George | F. Maxwell as secretary of the Board of Fire Commissioners was legal and in vio- lation of no provision of the charter. Maxwell, who was relleved from his du- ties by the new board appointed by Mayor | Phelan, filed suit for a writ of mandate to_compel his reinstatement. Maxwell in his complaint held that the | position of clerk under the old board was fdentical with that of secretary under the charter, and that consequently he could not be removed e ept for cause. Judge ot well in his decision declares that the charter abolishes the office of clerk and that Maxwell has no titie to the present secretaryship.

A comparative financial statement was submitted showing that the payroll at the City and County Hospital for the month of December, 1899, was $2649 75, and for this month it will be $2889 95, or $50 80 less. In its reorganization of the department the board claims to have effected a decrease in_salaries of $322 per month. Dr. Max Solomon's resignation as assist- ant sanitary inspector was accepted and Dr. Willlam C. Hassler was appointed to the vacancy. The position of Superintend- ent of the City Cemetery was abolished and the Disinterment Inspector was placed in charge of that reservation. Chief of Police Sullivan was present at the meeting, and informed the board that as all police officers are health inspectors under the charter he would devise for them a proper tour of duty in order to supplement the work of the board.

The wender is not that one Joan of Arc rose ffom this superstition-ridden age, spirit-prompted to fulfill the prophecy that & mald from the Marches of Lor- | thousands of maidens steeped in like su- | pernaturalism should not have thronged to the Dauphin’s standard. ‘When Baudricourt became convinced | that Joan was heaven-sent, he dispatched her, suitably equippéd, to the Dauphin’s court, notwithstanding the frantic appeals | of Joan's parents, appalled at the prospect of their gentle, pure-minded daughter in the grim clutch of the war devil. Arrived at the dallying French court, Joan was led by her ‘“voices” to distinguish the dis- guised monarch from his courtlers, and to | reveal to him one of his secret transac- tions, which caused his face to blanch and his spirit to quail. Thereby convinced that the poor little shepherdess thorough- ! 1y understood herself. Charles forthwitn equipped her in_white armor, engraved | with the triple fleur-de-lis, and a white banner embroidered with the same em- blem and painted with a picture of the Savior. Then she set forth to take charge of the enthusiastic, impatient army of France, rapidly rallying to her mysterious standard. When this flerce soldiery, made up of , fire-eaters, cavallers, brigands and fanatic | peasantry, beheld their 17-year-old com- mander-in-chief unfurl the mystic ensign | that was to lead them to victory they felt themselves purified and emboldened by | her modest simplicity. So great was the | sway of her gentle personality over this fearful host that the success of the siege set its face toward that besieged city. In less than four months after Joan started on her mission the military mira. cles of the speedy evacuation of Orleans by the terrified English. of the signal vic- tory of Patay and the capitulation of well garrisoned Troyes opened the way for the triumphal entry into Rheims, where the Bauphin was anointed with the holy oil of Clovis and became Charles VII of France. Overcome at the speed of the consum- mation of the dream which had haunted her night and day, Joan now begged pite~ possible to rid ner mind of the bewilder- | | Finally an uncle, convinced of the divin- | home | raine was to save the realm, but that | of Orleans was assured before the army | ternatural elevation. Those who on the coronation day had hailed this maiden as “the Savior of France,” ‘“the Invincible,” “Victory's § | Genjus of Patriotism,” Christ,” could now find no better titles for her than “Vile Witch,” “Heretic Abandoned. | Removed from one loathsome prison to another, Joan was tormented and assalled with cunning questions; she answered | these subtleties with such intelligence that her replies nearly worked the undo- ing of her accusers, so that they hastened to spread nets for her destruction. Since a years mental trial had left the un- taught girl master of the field, they tried bodily terrorism. They accordingly con- ducted her in chains to a stake with fa- gots ready for lightingand called upon her fo adjure the divinity of her mission, or to repent. Worn in body and soul, con- fused by the heat, she let fall some dis- | couraged words that were construed as a recantation. But they did not wish her to escape burning by recanting. So after they had taken her back to prison they | extorted from her a promise that she would not wear the masculine attire which she considered her only protection in her unseemly, men-guarded imprison- ment. Now the longed-for consummation was easy to reach. Relylng upon Joan's modesty, her persecutors stealthily re- moved all feminine apparel, leaving her to choose between nakedness and the pro- scribed attire. Realizing the futility of | longer resisting such treachery, she put on the raiment and pald the penalty at the stake. The most spiritual, saintly flower of the most brutalized century in the history of France was dragged to her execution in a felon's cart, wearing for her halo a miter-shaped cap bearing the legend, ‘‘Heretie, lapsed, Apostate, Idolator!™” | To me the tragedy of Joan of Arc's his- tory was not her flery death, nor the weakness of a once devoted populace, nor the ingratitude of a King whom in | her loyalty e defended even on the scaf- he most Christian King that . it was the failure of the to bring the release she had earned. If we could but throw our minds six centuries back and so comprehend the vivid reality which these mysterious shapes assumed in Joan's lonely commun- | ings and what potent mastersprings they became in her success we could realize | in part how dark was the tragedy of their | inexplicable desertion in her pitiable dis- tress. And yet—and this proves that her religion was not a batch of overimagin- ative sentimentalities, but the material from which heroes are carved—in the face of this crushing abandonment her faith | rose supreme and reasserting her creed, | with her eyes on the crucifix, she died at | the flaming stake. Twenty years afterward Joan of Arc's heart-broken mother petitioned that her | daughter’s soul be retaken into the guar- dianship of the church which had repu- | diated her. And Charles VII, now a con- | quering, victorious King, consented to an | appeal to the Pope, not because of the | gnawings of remorse, but because he | feared for the succession of a crown won | for him by one whom the church had proyed a witch. The cutcome of the trial | held by the commission appointed by the church was a formal process. a legal re- | establishment of Joan's character. It is | known as the rehabilitation of 1456. After | the witness stand had meted out its tardy justice the people gave expression to their | appreciation by painting numberless pie- | tures and by erecting numberless monu- | ments to the deliverer of France—monu- ments which might have passed as bear- able supplements to_the honor of a nation, but in the face of Joan's execution serve | simply to emphasize one of the most cruel satires In the history of mankind. | Note—*Vittoria Colonna” will be the |.subject of the next biographical study.
