The liquor merchants of this city met Friday at 8 O'Farrel street and formed what will be known as the S8an Framelsco Retail Liquor Dealers’ Charitable Asso- ciation. “The object of the union of the liquor men is to abolish the habit of giving away “Christmas packages” during the holidays and to donate the money saved to the recognized charitable institutions of this city. Jesse Marks was elected president of the association and William Clack secre- tary. A large attendance was present znd more than a hundred prominent liquer men signed the roll, agreed to abol- ish the “Christmas present habit” and | subscribed more than $2000 as a starter | for the $3000 which they expect to raise | before Christmas time to give to the children’s hospitals and orphan asylums of this city. An executive committee was appointed to canvass the city and endeavor to se- cure a subscription from every saloon man. The city has been divided into dis- tricts and canvassers have been assigned to each district. The committee consists of Thomas Ferguson, Ike Deutsch, Peter Weniger, lke Tuckler, James H. Daly, | William Clack, Frank Dunn, Charles Mc- Clain, Frank McCann, B. Bernard, Fred N. Bent, P. W. Bonney, Willlam Roe- der, Benjamin Jellison, Edward Parker, Jesse Gobey, Captain Obermeyer, Edward ‘Wagner and P. N. Weber. As soon as the executive committec collects from the liquor men who signea vesterday and signified thereby their in- tention to donate, and from as many | others as they can, a list, headed by the Association’s agreement, will be posted in the saloon of each subscriber. The saloon men who do not agree to abolish the “package system” will be ignored by the association and no money will be ac- cepted from them. The saloon men are domg good work and many a little heart will be gladdened RING Oldest in America Best in the World sen. CUrtaz «son 8OLE AGENTS OLDEST AND STRONGCEST HOUSE . ON THE PAGlFlc.

Find He Was a Human Being, but Was Born Without a Mind. Born without a’ mind, perhaps without 'a soul, poor “Zip,” the freak of human | nature who has been an object of specu- lative Interest at the Almshouse for the | past twenty-seven years, is no more. In life he was useless and even in death it is doubtful if he serves any scientific pur- pose. He was taken ill about a week ago and died suddenly Thursday night. An autopsy was performed upon his abnormal remains yesterday in the hope of discovering some new light bearing on the mysterious problem of cengenital deformity, as well as to ascer- tain the cause of “Zip's” death. The operation was conducted by Professors Taylor and Newmark and Dr. Hardesty of the State University. Dr. Fisher, the as- sistant of Professor Loeb, the savant who | believes he has discovered the source of | life, was also present. The deformities of “Zip's” body were found to have been due to lack of brain | development, but in other respects he was essentially a vigorous animal, human orly in form. Acute tubercular condi- tions of the lungs and kidneys were re- vealed, sufficient in either case to prove fatal, though the immediate cause of death was attributed to pneumonia. The most interesting feature of the autopsy, however, proved to be the head. The bone formation of the normal man’s skull is made up of three layers. The outer layer is compact and hard and the inner layer is vitreous, while betwecn them is a thin deposit of pithy, almost spongy substance. Nature also provides for the growth and expansion. of the brain by dividing the skull into several segments which are joined together by a soft composition that expands under pressure and does not solidify until after the period of brain development has pass- ed, usually about middle age. SKULL WAS OSSIFIED. In “Zip's” case all these conditions were reversed. The entire skull was os- sified into one solid piece of compact hone and had evidently been so since birth. Even the pithy middle layer was lacking, and the saw of the surgeons en- countered resistance not unlike tempered steel. In opening the normal man's skull it is like sawing through wood. ‘Zip's” skull was fully one-third of an inch thick and about the size of a two-year-old in- fant. The brain weighed fourteen and a half ounces, which is less than one-third the size of the brain of a normal mafi of | his age, which is believed to have been about forty-three years. It was expected to find a marked dis- crepancy between the tissues of the cere- brum and cerebellum, but this did not ap- pear on casual examination. Both the brain and the spinal cord, however, were removed and taken to the university laboratory for microscopic examination. This will require & week or ten days and | the report is eagerly awaited by the | scientific world as a valuable subject for ccmparative study on micro-cephalic skulls. No solution of the congenital deformity {or the causes behind it was disclosed. by the operation, though it was thought that | hereditary conditions were largely re- | sponsible. WAS A HUMAN BEING. Some argument arose over his classi- | fication, but it was finally decided that | he was a human being, though not a | man in the accepted sense of the term. | “zip” was a well known character at the Almhouse and was regarded by some people as the missing link. He was taken from a circus at North Beach, where he was on exhibition in 1875, and placed in the Almshouse. Al that is known of his antecedents is that his mother was a circus performer. He was a curlosity to visitors at the Almshouse and many people went there | solely for the purpose of seeing him. | Sometimes when a stranger would appear { he would run to his room, lock himself in and snarl like a dog. If a band hap- pened to play at the Almshouse “Zip” al- ways attached himself to the musiclan whose instrument made the loudest noise. “Zip” would allow a Chinese servant only ADVERTISEMENTS.

Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Dec. 6.—The vestry of Trin- ity Episcopal Church, which was re- elected last Tuesday, has renewed its de- mand upon Rev. C. H. Mockridge, the rector, for his resignation. A resolution to this effect was passed at a meeting held on Thursday evening, and the de- mand was at oncé sent to the rector. He has ignored it and will preach to-mor- row as usual. At the meeting of the vestry, at which all of the members were present except Rev. Dr. Mockridge, the following reso- lution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, A letter from Bishop Nichols re- ceived by the vestry and the Rev. Dr. Mock- ridge stated that the result of the vestry elec- tion held on December 2 should be a final set- tlement of our church difficulties, and the said election resulted in the re-election of the former vestry; and Whereas, It is evident that peace and har- mony and’ spiritual and financial prosperity canpot be restored to our church while Dr. Mockridge remains its rector, and the vestry desires to deal not only justly but kindly and Iiberally with its rector, therefore Resolved, That the vestry respectfilly re- news its request for the Rev. Dr. Mockridge's immediate resignation, and proposes to him that If he will thus offer it they will morts gage the church property to immediately raise the money necessary to pay any balance on his salary that he may justly claim.to the end of this year and an additional donation “of $500. Circulars containing this resolution and a Statement by Bishop Nichols has been sent to all of the members of the parish. This was the first intimation that the vestry had met since the election. When the Rev. Dr. Mockridge refused to resign In June, at the request of the vestry, the Bishop was appealed to. Hs refused to interfere, but advised that the “‘question of the position of the parish, ‘whether sustaining the vestry or not, be referred to the next annual parish meet- ing for determination; that all parties to the question should regard that de- termination, when so made, as final.” It is acting on this that the vestry has again requested the resignation. The old vestry, having been re-elected and sus- tained In its action by the congregation, belleves the Mockridge faction should re- tire gracefully. —— TO CURE A COUGH IN ONE DAY Use Adams" Irish Moss Cough Balsam.
