SEEKS DEAT FROM DECK OF ) FERRY-B0KT Unknown Man Ends His Life at the Bottom of the Bay. gl Dol The Bchooner Maid of Orleans Col- lides With the Revenue Cutter Bear and Both Are Some- what Damaged. P Another unfortunate has sought sur- cease from sorrow In the waters of the bay. An unknown man jumped overboard from theé ferry-boat Oakland during the 1 p. m. trip from this city yesterday, and although all efforts were made to rescue him they were without avall. He was never seen after striking the water and the supposition is that he had weighted himself before making the fatal plunge. The only clew to his identity was an old weather-beaten Fedora hat, which he left on the after deck of the Oakland. The Oakland left this side at 1 p. m. Almost simultaneously the tug Vigilant, bound for the naval station at Goat Isl- and, and the sternwheel steamer Emma bound for Oakland, left Jackson-street wharf. The tide was flooding at the time so the Oakland had to head toward Alca- traz. In consequence, when the man jumped from the Oakland all three boats were close together. The Vigilant and Kmma bore down toward the Oakland, while the latter lowered a boat. A thor- ough search, lasting nearly a quarter of an hour was made, but no trace of the sulcide could be found. Eye-witnesses of the disaster say the man was shabbily dressed, but looked like a gentleman down on his luck. The schooner Maid of Orleans was in collision with the revenue cutter Bear yesterday. The Orleans was coming in from Port Blakeley with a load of lum- ber, and while rounding to off Powell- street wharf, crashed into the Bear. The latter's mizzen rigging was carried away and a couple of pianks on the starboard quarter were stove in, while the schooner jibboom and all lost_her bowsprit, her headgear.

She could not take all the freight that offering, but there were not many passengers. Among thos who went away was W. E. Mighell, man- aging owner of the California Shipping Company. About eight of the fleet newly urcha by the company will be in rlonulnlu during the next five weeks and Mr. Mighell wants to inspect them. The Henry % Hyde, which was damaged by fire during the voyage from Baltimore to Honolulu, will also receive his attention. The California Shipping Company made another purchase through Mr. Mighell vesterday. It now owns the ship Rence, Der way from the Orlant to New York. She is a good, stout vessel of 1528 tons net burden and will be a welcome ad- dition to the coast fleet. Captain Goodman of the schooner Rob- ert Lewers is {o take command of the ship Wallace B.

The suit brought by the Government against Stanley Willey and Henry Farm- er, bondsmen of O. M. Welburn as a di bursing officer of the Government, to re- cover $16,000, the alleged shortage of Mr. Welburn, was on trial before United States Circuit Judge Morrow and a jury vesterday. According to the rules >f the court, the United States Attorney must .prove the shortage by witnesses, and therefore the case against Welburn must be practically tried over n, Nellie F. O’Brien and Miss M. E. Con- nell were on the stand during the fore- noon session. Their testimony tended to show that they signed vouchers for sal- aries larger than those that they actually received. In the afternoon Mrs. A. G. Driscoll was called by the counsel for the Gove: ment to show that Miss Mary McCarthy vouchers for salary were filled out for her. Mrs, Driscoll ~testified that Mise McCarthy was not paid at all. George E. Dabovich testified that he February 14 to February 28, 1885, and that e was pald $15. The voucher was after- ward filled in with the figures $8 33. E. C. Aiken testified that he worked under Welburn as a Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue and recelved $25 per month during the whole perfod from Aug- ust, 1596, until June, 1897, with the excep- tion of May, 1897, when he did not T ceive anything. The vouchers showed payments averaging from $79 to §% per month. The trial will be resumed to-day. ———————— Standard Optical Co., 217 Kearny st., leading optictans.

E g The police had no difficulty yesterday in finding scavengers who were violating the ordinance concerning the collection and | transportation of refuse and garbage. They were discovered in all parts of the city and their defiance of the plain pro- visions of the ordinance was so glaring that it could not be overlooked. The Cali directed attention to the dan- gers to which the public have been wil- fully subjected and the authorities have begun to attend to their duty. The mer- chants of the city are loud in their praises | of The Call's action in this matter. They | are now wondering how the Board of | Health can square itself with the public, for all the blame of letting uncovered, vile smelling carts travel through the city distributing germs of disease Is laid at the doors of that incompetent body. The scavengers' licenses are issued in the months of January and July and the present Board of Health is trying ta shift its responsibility to the old bhoard. The fact is. however, that licenses have been recommended improperly since the pres- ent board came into office. The provi- cions of the law are plain. First the | board must have every scavenger cart, | for which license is asked, thoroughly examined before issuing a license. Then, | the license having been issued, the law provides further, that the Health Officer |18 empotvered to notify the Collector of | Licenses to cancel the license in case of ‘h'lfl‘flcflon hf' the holder of the sanitary | regulations imposed by the Board of Su- pervisors and the Board of Health. Afl heretofore stated, the ordinance con- tain ng these provisions was adopted July 13, 1898, and was approved by the Mayor, but there has never before been any effort to enforce it. The Board of Heaith has been blind to what every one else could see. The arrests made by the police yes- terday and Tuesday amply prove that The Call was correct in all its statements made concerning the violations of law. The greatest interest will now attach to such action as the courts may take. It is hoped that the scavengers will be com- pelled to ebey the law. Ten scavengers have been arrested in two_days. Those arrested yesterday are: G. B. Paganini, arrested on City Hall avenue by Policeman Naylor; D. Bozzo- roni, arrested at Ninth and Folsom streets by Policemen Kelly and O'Connor; Luigi Carraho and Fred Louncetti, arrested on Ninth street by Policeman O'Connell; Mike Canari, arrested on Third and Mar- ket streets by Policeman Winzler; G. B. Collamer, arrested on Bryant street by Policeman Kelly;: G. Vallanta, arrested on Alameda street by Policeman Tracey; R. Domingo, arrested on Kaneas street by Policeman Tracey, and Johann France, arrested on Seventh street by Policeman Tracey. Caesarevitch, who was arrested Tuesday, walved a jury trial In Judge Mogan’s court yesterday and the case went over until Saturday. Caesarevitch was represented by Attorney Spinetti. TO DISPENSE WITH CHINATOWN GUIDES Chief Sullivan Has Recommended That All of Their Licenses Should Be Revoked. Ah Moye, keeper of a fesort on Bartlett alley and Pacific street, and H. J.

Lewis pleaded not 1ty and his case was also continued till to-day. Chief Sullivan, in view of Lewis’ action in taking white people to such a place as Ah Moye's, contrary to the rules of the department, has recommended to the Po- lice Commissioners that all licenses issued to Chinatown guldes be revoked. . The Chief feels strongly on the subject and does not see the utility of having licensed guldes in Chinatown or anywhere else in the city. —_——— Dandruff removed. Treatments 50c up.

If you read the ‘“Clouds” of Aristophanes you will find a caricature—a very amu ing one—of the philosopher Socrates. This | comedy was played 423 years before the | coming of Christ, and many translations | have been made of it. In it is presented the popular impression of what Socrates was. Aristophanes attacks the sophists | in the “Clouds,” and makes Socrates their | representative. The truth is that Socrates was really the enemy of the sophists, who made it their business to teach young men how to get on in life. Their motto was that “the end justifies the means.” They taught rhetoric as well as the methods of | business; they were expert in sharp prac- | tices, and aimed only for material suc- cess. They called themselves philosophers in the sense that they perfected the sei- ence of how to gain the advantages of material life, while leaving high morality out of the process. And they were philos- ophers who developed the art of trying to | make black appear white if it suited their purpose. Socrates was opposed to all this; | he was a philosopher, for he loved wis- | dom and he sought to find laws that gov- | ern human minds by the examination of his own; but he was more a social re- wives, as he was made a type of preten- tious philosophers, Her side of the story will never be heard. Socrates became more and more con- vinced that he hada spiritual mission to fulfill. He belleved that the Deity spoke to him through the medium of his genius, or daemon.. He felt that this daemon directed him unerringly; he was earnest and sincere, and he desired to influence soclety by bringing the young to him. The Breatest of his pupils were Plato, Xeno- phon and Aicibiades. He was a teacher to those who were intimate with him, but his position was that of a public lecturer to constantly \’hanfinx crowds rather than that of a professor who delivered lectures, systematically arranged, to one set of students. He was the founder of no school, but his influence permeated many schools. We know his teaching best through his wonderful disciple, Plato, who represented the speculative side of his mind as Xenophon, as Dr. Brown in his excellent “History of Greek Classical Literature” says, showed the actical side. The satire aimed at Socrates by Aris- tophanes, in the “Clouds.’ had nothing to do with the persecution of the philosopher by his political enemies. He was sup- Rosed to be against democracy. although e had been neutral in politics. The son of Pericles, executed by the state, had been his friend. Alciblades and Critias— innovators against the constitution of So- lon—were beloved by him. But when he had interfered in politics it had been to save the shedding of innocent blood. He had refused to consent to the death of the younger Pericles; he his utmost to save both Theramines and Leon of Sala- mis from the fury of the mob. It was not strange that he was hated, for he never hesitated to tell unpleasant truths, He was satirical, therefore he “mocked the nation™; he did not reverence the old poets as sacred. therefore he ecorrupted the education of the youth of the nation. His enemies accused him, and by a vote of 281 to 276 he was declared gullty. He might have bought his liberty for a.heavy fine; he refused; nor would he violate the law’ by escaping. His apology, so ele- vated, dignified and manly, is one of the masterpleces in the literary records of the He drank the hemlock and died a martyr to righteousness, needing only the light of Christian revelation to be a perfect example to all coming ages. The influence of Socrates - resulted fin the formation of fixed systems; it perme. ated the teaching of the stoics and cynlcs and_the schools of Plato and Aristot! As Plato was his pupil, so Aristotle wa Plato’s, though they differed in many things.' He was the first to Introduee the element of accuracy into investigation. He insisted on definition and classifl Every term In philosophy or eth istinctly defined. He asked questions till ignorance fiow weary and gave up the ghost. is unrelenting search for the essential meaning of a thing is the basis of the Socratic method of continucus quastions. He found all previous attempts at_philosophy _vay and unsatisfactory. Socrates held that the soul is vital; that it has a mortal as well as an immortal element, and that truth and morality are real. He accepts the existence of a supreme being without inquiry. The intellectual part of the soul is a part of the supreme mind. Socrates was virtue and that gly remain ignorant held that knowledfie no man would willin; if he knew that ignorapce was wrong or that ignorance kept him from knowing former than a philosopher. In B. C. 423 it was generally acknowledged that Athen- | ian society needed reformation, and Aris- | tophanes was right in attributing much of | the degeneration to the immoral teaching | of the sophists. As a comic writer it suit- | ed him to assume that all philosophers | were sophists, and that Socrates, who was suspected of not believing in the puerile gods of Greece, was the chief of | them. As sophist had become a name for | all teachers of philosophy, Aristophanes | had some excusa for his thoughtless rail- lery of the barefooted, carelessly dressed | and absent-minded Socrates. Socrates was born B. C. 468, at Athens. | e o bl e el B o e s 5 VP ARES what was right. To perfect the intellect, LOKPATHE to know, was the alm of life. Aristotle, later, refuted this doctrine, which Socrates had never clearly explained. To Socrates ethics and the study of human- ity were much above the study of the physical sciences. The teaching of Socrates influenced not orly the systematic scholastics of the Roman empire, but the great systems of St. Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus. Aristotle’s philosophy was practically adopted by St. Thomas Aquinas, and the tendency of the best thinkers of the mid- dle ages to put moral and ethical ques- tions first was Influenced from Socrates. e Cyrenaic school of Aristippus, which held that present pleasure was the end of life, was the offspring of those Socratic theories which were dangerous because Socrates had not sufficlently ex- plained or developed them. The school of the cynics was founded by another pupil of Socrates, whose name was Antisthenes. His school combated the tenets of Aris- tippus; his teaching was ethical and gen- erally composed of objections. He as- serted firm| { against the opinions of his time, that there was one without an thl; ly. i fhe study of the lifs and lesgona ot as presented a- ’ 3 Pro- trobyn: NITPO TaON AN CALAGIS " TATLIOTIAN CMONMILOENT SOCRATES.

Diogenes tells us that while he worked with his father he also attended the lec- tures of the philosophers, Anaxagoras and Archelaus. So diligent and interested was he that a rich Athenian, recognizing him in his father’s shop, determined that a philosopher should not be lost in a carver of images and supplied him with money to pursue his studies. He did not live, how- | ever, above the earth, though he loved abstract speculation. He accepted his place as a citizen and performed his duties as a soldier admirably.
