He then made his escape. There was an attack made upon some young lady on Wednesday evening, but, while the matter has been reported to the | police, names are being withheld at the | request of the family. | The police are searching for the man. | but he is as intangible as a shadow untii he finds some ttended young woman. | Then he assumes very material shape in- | deed. ‘The police believe that the myste- | rious “Jack the Hugger” is a half-crazy | Swede by the name of Johnson, who was | mixed up in a similar affair about six months ago and was punished with a | charge of bird shot for his pains. 1\ MOST DESPERATE | | i first detailed sortie from LONDON, Feb. 24.—The cription of the desperate » on December comes Reuter correspondent in that | d little town, as follows: | after Christmas we mad attac n the Boer lines.

Threw Stones and Her Parents Re- fused to Apologize. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 24—A new step was in the rows that characterize when J. F. Mc! day a farmer in the | Willow Glen school district, applied for a writ of mandate in the Superior Court to compel the admission of his daughter to school. Miss Osee Ashley, principal of the school, is the one against whom the action is directed. McKee's pretty little daughter Abbie was suspended on February 15 last. At that time she, with other pupils, violated a rule of the school by throwing stones. Miss Ashley requested an apology from the girl's mother and also a guarantee that the rule would not be broken again. Mrs. McKee refused to make any such promise and the girl was refused admis- sion to school. The parents of the other children apologized. Now the matter will be aired in court. flup?rln(endonl(‘h(nmanl advised the Trustees to allow the girl to | attend school, but they refused to do so and stood back of Miss Ashley's action. The outcome will be watched with inter- est by the teachers, as the move is a new one. Scsiiegh i PAYS IN ADVANCE. Southern Pacific Makes a Big Deposit in Sub-Treasury. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Nearly $3,000,000 was paid into the sub-treasury here to- day by the Southern Pacific Company for the Central Pacific Railroad, in liquida- tion of a note of the latter company that does not fall due until August, 191. The actual payment was $2.946,194 79, Checks for this amount were turned into the sub-treasury and their receipt gave that institution a credit balance of $2,346,- 770 at the Clearing-house. The note which was taken up is the fifth of a series of twenty, bearing Inter- est of 3 per cent, given to the Govern- ment when the Central Pacific settlement was effected. It was secured by $3,000,000 Central Pacific 4 per cent bonds, which were to-day turned over to the Southern Pacific Company. In Wall street it was said that the rea- son for the anticipation of the payment is that the Centra! Pacific bonds securing the note can be handled with more profit to the Southern Pacific than would be gained by allowing the obligation to run along until due. e Express Sold.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 24. George Waters lives to tell how his life has twice been snatched from the very jaws of death within the past few days. Indications in both instances point to what many regard as attempted suicide. Waters is 23 years old and for a long | time has been employed as assistant at James Taylor's undertaking establish- ment on Thirteenth street, near Clay. A little over a weeh ago waters created a mild sensation by drinking a cup of embalming fluid. On that occasion he was found unconscious by his employer, who promptly summoned medical aid. Fortunately his life, after several hours’ hard work on the part ot the doctors, was saved. When he recovered Waters claimed that he had been suffering from cramps in his stomach and that in his | eagerness to quaff something that might temporarily relieve the pain grabbed the cup of embalming fluid by mistake. Early this morning Waters was again found unconsclous. This time he had substituted illuminating gas. At the Re- celving Hospital, where Steward Borchert after working over him several hours re- suscitated him, he declared: “‘Shortly after I retired last night, at 11 o'clock, Mrs. Taylor came to my room and aroused me. She sald she noticed | the odor of escaping gas. I looked about but found everything all right and re- turned to bed. At 2 o'clock this morn- ing I was again aroused on the same pretext. 1 looked about again, but found | nothing wrong. How the gas-escaped I do not know and the idea of me trying to_commit sulcide is ridiculous.” Mrs. Taylor, wife of the undertaker, however, tells a different story. She says that she called at Waters' room, which | is above the undertaking parlors, twice | during the night because she had de- | tected the odor of gas, and that. each | | time Waters insisted no gas was escap- {Ing in his room. Yet when she found | him unconscious at 7 o'clock this morn- | ing both jets were turned on full blast, when as a matter of fact he never has been known to make use of but one_jet. Moreover, beneath Waters' pillow Mrs. | | Taylor found the razor used in the em- | | | baiming department. | DR. HATCH EXPLAINS. !Denie: Story of Parsimony at the| Stockton Hospital. | SACRAMENTO, Feb. 24.—Dr. F. W. Hatch, member of the State Lunacy Com mission and general superintendent of the State hospitals, said to-day that the storles emanating from Stockton respoct- ing the alleged parsimonious management | of the asylum there were for the most part exaggerated. [ It is true that the funds at the dispcsal of the asylum have been curtailed, this is due to a reduction of the | priation the Leg fact that the contingency fund fed by fees | from pay patients has been transferret | from the disposal of the local boarl of managers to the State treasury, where it can only be drawn upon by order of the | Lunacy Commission and Board of Exam- iners, and then only for purposes specitied by law. Requisitions for small items are not necessary, as has been alleged, anl | the Lunacy Commission allows a sum each month, in addition to estimated ex- penses, for purchases not contempiated when the estimates are acted upon by tr Lunacy Commission. - Plumbers at Stockton.

The Washington reception given iast night in Golden Gate Hall by Ivy Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star was a| most magnificent affair, and it was nt-l tended by several hundred friends of tho membership. The ladies of the cheoter | were all attired in costumes of the time of George Washington, with powdered wigs, rich dresses and elegant laces. A number of the gentlemen were in suits of colonial days. The effect of so many | in continental dress as they moved about the hall presented a contrast to those in modern attire, making a very pretty pic- ture. In addition to the reception thers was an amusing _sketch, showing the district school of the old-fashioned kind, with | members personating the teacher andu pu- pils. This was followed by the dancing of the minuet by eight young ladies and a | like number of gentlemen, after which there was “Tit For Tat,” a comedy, in which Miss Hope Mosher and Kernneth | McLeod took the speaking parts. This pro | gramme was followed by dancing. Tho: | affair was arranged by Miss Susie Loclk- wood, Mrs. Frances L. Bonifield, Roy T. Kimball and Harriet T. Noah. —_—————— Barker Seeks His Liberty.

Brownson has de- clared that it is possible to win the gift of the ofl magnate and has just started | on a tour of the State to call attention to | the crisis that now faces the college and | to_the means of relief. | In a statement issued by the college president is the following plain language: | It is not wise to dis; it seems wise to emphasize it, that the college has come to a real crisis in its history. There must be in the immediate’ future a considerable in- crease of the endowment, or there must be, for at least a number of vears, a discouraging existence with- out reasonable progress. Not death but stagnation faces the college unless its endowment shall see a considera- ble increase within three years. The supreme need now is not more students, desirable as would be an In- crease in numbers; it Is a larger en- dowment. It is not new buildings, al- though two are really needed; it is more Invested funds; it Is a larger in- terest-bearing fund. While at the head of the college at Me- Minnville, Or.. the only other . Baptist seminary in the West, President Brown- son received a similar offer from the American Baptist Education Society, and succeeded in meeting the conditions and uecuring the gift. e is confident that he will be equally successful in this State.
