HENLEY, England, June 24.—Some fast trials were accomplished here this after- noon, the Pennsylvania crew doing the best, covering the full course in 7 minutes 31-5 seconds, and half the course in 3 minutes 25 seconds. Starting at forty to the minute, the Americans never fell be- low thirty-seven and sometimes spurted to forty-two. A number of British oars- men who accompanied the Americans con- sidered the trial a remarkable one. The Pennsylvanians were by no means rowed out. They proceeded to their boathouse, half a mile farther on, before stopping. The conditions of wind and water were not favorable to the oarsmen. The Lean- ders did the course in 7 minutes 35 sec- onds, so the Americans’ chances are re- garded as good. of Memphis, Tenn., committed suicide the Crellin Hotel last night by gas as- | phyxiation.

The rest of the bunch wore an assortment of old clothes. If the scorer had noted the errors made during the five innings of alleged ball he would not be able to sleep for a week. The game was frequently stopped to find the ball. The Northsides had a “ringer” in the game, despite the kicks of their opponents. The outsider said his name was Byrne, and he guarded the third sack. The umpire gave entire satisfaction. He feared to make a mistake, as he was in danger of arrest. ¥ BiILL MINIHAN WAS THE SRINING STAR IN THE NORTH ENDER| RIGHT | FIELR [ | 1 | ) THE WINNING TEAM. onstrebe "FROM S0UT’ O DE SLOT" —_— { | v roasted the playing from points of | vartage in the grand stand and press box. Judging by the riticisms, the “cops” were playing a terrible game. One young- ster who had frequently been chased by Pcliceman Minihan of the southern squad vented his feelings against that officer. s Minihan vas gamboling down to first on a scratch hit to pitcher the kid yelled, O Minihan, does yer know O'Hooligan?" | And Minihan tripped over his shadow and | plcwed up the dust. | It was a great game from a spectator's standpoint.

Only three of them wore baseball suits, and these costumes stood out in bold re- . The Northsides made nine runs in one inning by sampling Mr. Moriarity's curves for as many hits. Moriarity was shifted to the fog belt, and Policeman Goodwin came to the rescue. His wonderful curves circled the necks of opposing batters and he easily held them in subjectipn. The Southern players. better known 'as Cap- tain Spillane’s ““Rough Riders,” swung their bats as if they were clubs and eve ball was a cranium. They batted Mr, Birdsall out of the box in the last inning and passed their rivals. Then, although victory was theirs, they continued the slaughter andgave no quarter, At the close of the argument the South- ern crew had 12 runs to the Northern’s . The game was for a dinner. which will be eaten with relish by the victors within a few days. Following was the batting order of the teams: Southern PREPARING TO TEST ABILITIES OF BARBERS Examining Board Receiving Applica- tions and Getting Ready to Ticense Razor Men. The * examination for the cer- tificatio. varbers plying thelr trade in this State has opened headquarters in the reckels building and has started | ition the machinery provided in | the act creaudng the board. The members f the board are J. J. Calish of S8an Fran- cisco, president: F.. Fleming of Sacra- surer, and P. W. Drake of | cretary. The office s opened two weeks agn and since that time the applications of practicing barbers for certificates have been coming rapidly, until now there are about 1000 on file. S0 far there have been | no examinations, for the board wishes | first to attend to these who do not come within the provisions requiring an exam- | ination before undertaking the more seri- | ous business of the board. The act provides that every barber ply- | ing his trade in this State before Febru- ary 20 of this year shall be granted a cer- tificate upon application to the board and upon payment of a fee of $1, provided th> board, without examination, believes him to be a competent barber. It is these men who are now being considered by the board. Later, when the greater num- ber of the 2500 barbers n this city have been nrovided with certificates those who must be examined will be brought hefore the board. The fee for examination Is $5, and all those who were not barbers before Feb- ruary 20 of this year or who have come or may come to the State after that date must be examined. The examination will be a practical one that any competent barber can pass, but it will not be an easy one, and only those who are well up |in their trade can go through the test satisfactorily. The examinations will probably begin toward the latter end of this week. e Coal Duties Cases Dismissed. Eight suits by coal importers of this city, filed a year ago against the collee- tor to restrain him from collecting the maximum cuty on anthracite coal, were dismissed by United States Circult Judge Morrow yesterday on motion of United States District Attorney Woodworth. The reason assigned was that the issue in- volved had already been determined in the United States Supreme Court in the case of Evans against the collector. ———— Smuggled Goods Seized. ‘Willlam Beveridge, second assistant eii- gineer of the China, was arrested yester- day by customs inspectors while coming down the gangplank with five yards of smuggled silk concealed under his cloth- ing. ine hundred and fifty smuggled cigars were also seized in one of the air chambers of the starboard lifeboat.

Judge Troutt decided vesterday that the alleged last will of Larus Erickson, who died December 31, 1900, at the Coso House on Sansome street, leaving an estate val- ued at $10,000, was not the last will of the deceased. ~ Furthermore, the court com- mended Annie J. Armstrong, sole devisee under the will, and Adrian Cabrol and Frederic Delmas, witnesses to the will, to the consideration of the District Atfor- ney. Shortly after Erickson's death Annfe J. Armstrong filed a will alleged to be the last testament of the deceased, in which she was named as sole devisee, for pro- bate. She averred, and her averments were supported by the testimony of Cab- ro! and Delmas, that Erickson had dic- tated the will. Photographer Bacchus pessed judgment upon the will contrary to the allegations of Mrs. Armstrong and ‘lhe weight of evidence supported his opin- on. B After denying the petition asking for the probate of the will Judge Troutt said: “I consider it my official duty to refer the transcript of testimony taken in this case to the District Attorney, that he may take such action thereon as in his official duty he may see fit and proper."” The language of the court makes plain his belief that the will was forged and if defeat in the matter of the will is the full measure of trouble that comes to the pro- ponents thereof it will be solely due to the leniency of the District Attorney, in whose hands the decision of the court has alaced the matter for further investiga- on. ——————— !

Lieutenant Price was relieved at his own request, as he deemed he had shown enough during the three months he had been in Chinatown since his reinstatement to vindicate his reputation as a zealous and honest officer. His report during the three months, which was submitted to Chief Sullivan yesterday, will stand as one of the best, ir rot the best, of any during a like period in Chinatown. During that period 292 whites and 1009 Chinese were arrested, making a total of 1301. Of these 764 were convicted and paid fines, forty-five were convicted and confined, three convicted and appealed, 466 were dismissed and twenty-three cases .are still pending in the police courts.

George Meinen was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses. The complain- ing witness is James L. Scanlan, 205 Elev- enth street. Scanlan was anxious to go into the sa- loon business and was introduced to Mein- en, who represented himself as the man- ager of the Western Wine Association, and said he had a saloon to sell at 238 Sixth street, all the fixtures, stock and other articles, including the cash register, belonging to him. Scanlan agreed to pur- chase the business and on May paid Meinen $600 in cash and gave him a prom- issory note for $400. Scanlan took possession of the saloon, but_soon found that .the representations made to him were not true. The cash reg- ister was only leased and the large num- ber of bottles on the shelves, which were supposed to contain liquor, were elther empty or filled with water. He demanded the return of his money, but it was re- fused on the ground that he had gone into the transaction with his eyes open and should have known what he was buying. | RAILROAD WRECK CAUSED C EONA HOPPER SEROUSLY 1L Arrives From New Yorkl City in a State of | Collapse.

Mrs. Edna Wallace Hopper, daughter of | the late Mrs. Josephine Dunsmuir, arrived | to-night from New York in a prostrated | condition. She had received en route the | unexpected news of her mother’s demise, | and the shock was so severe that Mrs. | Hopper suffered greatly. Upon her arrival she was met at the| Sixteenth-street station by Dr. W. 8./ Thorne of San Francisco, who was ac- companied by trained nurses. | Mrs. Hopper was driven directly to the Souther farm, the country residence, where Mrs. Dunsmuir passed away, and the young actress is there under the close attention of the physician and the attend- ing nurses. Inquiry at the residence this evening brought the following response from Dr. | Thorn ““As must have been expected, Mrs. Hopper is in a condition of nervous col- lapse. She was prostrated by the news of her mother’s death. Although she knew that Mrs. Dunsmuir was seriously ill, | there was no anticipation on the daugh- ter's. part that she would not arrive here lr|| time to be with her mother in the cri- sis.” | Owing to Mrs. Hopper's condition the funeral arrangements will be delayed somewhat. James Dunsmuir, the deceased lady’s. brother-in-law, is en route from | British Columbia, having been advised of | the death of his deceased brother's wid- | ow. He is expected to arrive to-morrow.

During the spring and summer, while ¢ i ® the skin is most active and the weil open, we are much more liable to be affected by Poison Oak and Ivy and other dangerous plants. Workers in brass, co , lead and zinc have their health im- paired and the blood supply poisoned through the absorption of fine flt_lcla of these metals and the acids used in polishing and cleaning them. Inhaling the fames of lead give painters that pallid, appearance of the skin. Barber’s Itch is another disease that reaches the blood through the skin, and is a most obstinate one when it becomes firmly fixed in the system. After the poison has reached the blood and disseminated throughout the system it is too late to resort to local applications. In many cases the blood is affected simultaneously with the appear ance of the rash or eruption on the skin, and all efforts should be directed to the purification and building up of the blood. Ugly eruptions and sores will continue to break out in spite of salves, washes, soaps or other external treatment. 8. S. S. is especially recommended for poisons of this character. So com- letely does it de the effects of the Oak and Ivy that there is no possibility of 1’73 my v{rass or lead poisoning or Bar- ce, and it is equally as efficacious in _ ber’s Itch ; buildingkup and 'éing the blcod and driving out of the circulation impurities of every kind, and removing every blemish, sore or eruption from the skin.
