ISSHULT YOUNG TELEPHONE. Brutal Attack Is Made by a Quartette of : Thugs. Oakland Office San Francisco €all, ° 1118 Broadway, Aug. 29. A. P. Peck, 20 years of age, an emi- ploye of the Sunset Telephone Comfpany, was attacked by four men this evening and dragged from an Alameda electric car at First avenue and East Twelfth street, his scalp lald open to the bone from blows with an instrument and kicked and beaten on the head and body, his dnjuries requiring the services of two sur- geons. Peck was on his way home from work and had been followed from the tele- phone company's offices by two of his assaflants. The car was crowded and he was standing on the platform. As the car started up the grade at the east end of the Twelfth-street dam the pair grab- bed him and vanked him off the steps. ‘They fell In a heap, two other men join- ing the shadowing pair. Before Peck could assist himeelf he was struck on the head with a metal instrument. He sald he believed it was a palr of wire cutters. | A second blow dazed the young man and kicks and blows rained on him. Peck managed to get away after his assallants tired of the uneven battle. The injured man, bleeding and stunned, made bis way to Dr. Lanz' residence near by and that surgeon, with Dr. W. D. Hunt- ington, dressed the young man's inju- ries, afterward sending him to his resi- |=on_ 25 to the main line of defense to|dence, %11 Alameda avenue, Alameda.

As it was the wounds were very severe and ugly. Peck’s assailants will be arrested as soon | as they can be located. He has excellent descriptions of them. He was unarmed. After Peck reached home Dr. C. G. W, Bull of Alameda was called to take charge of the case. This physiclan cor- roborated the others as to the extent of the injuries, declaring that Peck's thick head of hair was all that saved him from a badly fractured skull —_— “Splendid Isolation.” Rumor has it that there is soon to be established, through private initiative, a national gallery at Washington. Until the plans are complete criticism would be su- perfluous, but it may be said at once that Washington is a peculiarly suitable place for such an ipgtitution. The government departments hve set.a standard of cu- ratorship which the proposed museum would surely follow. Elsewhere personal and local considerations largely determine such appointments. It is certain, too, that at Washington. there is a population which could and probably would support such a gallery handsomely; and a minor advantage, though a real one, is the fact that a national gallery at the capital would be out of the shadow of the art so- cleties, and unvexed by artist jealousies. The value of this “splendid isolation” is alrcady strikingly illustrated in the ex- hibition socleties of Philadelphla and Pittsburg.—New York Eveninz Post. e Salaries of Presbyterian Ministers. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts, stated clerk of the General Assembly, furnishes the following estimate of salaries of min- isters, so for as the Presbyterian church is concerned: One hundred ministers re- ceive a salary of $5000 or more, 300 receive from $3500 to $5000, and- 700 receive between $2000 and $3500. In other words, of the 7800 ministers, less than one and one-half in 100 are paid $560, slightly over 5 in 100 receive $3500 or more, and about 14 in 100 receive $2000 or more.s—Church Economiet. —_——— Late Shipping Intelligence.

As the result of investigations made in the vicinity of Elmhurst relative to the many incendiary fires there of late, Wal- ter Bachelder, a married man about 3 years of age, was arrested this evening | by Deputy Sheriff Riley and lodged in the | County Jail here. Bachelder maintains | that he knows of no reason why the ar- | rest should have béen made and the | authorities refuse to give out what in the way of proof they have against him. Young Bachelder lives with his wife and parents on a small fruit ranch, locat- ed on what is known as Moss avenue, | about a mile from Elmhurst. The elder | Bachelder i{s an attorney, who, up to six months ago, had an office gt 330 Pine | street, San Francisco. Owing to the lateness of the houy and no charge having been placed against | Bachelder, nothing can be done toward | giving bonds for his release until Mon- | day. | When interviewed he said that his ar- | rest had taken him by surprise.

Deep in its nature is the spirit of the unfathomable. Take notice for yourself, no matter how fond you may be of your own houschojd tabby, there are times when it creeps ingo your presesce with an air of the uncanny in every sly, snake-like movement. - Agaip brush its shiny coat in the dark and every hair will emit an electric spack. In all the vast literary lore that clusters about it, it stands with equal adapt- ibility for truth and falsehood. Purring lazily in the chiminey corner it is the very embodiment of eternal calm and irreproachable -dignity. And yet how quick a fiendish metamorphosis may be wrought. No mat- ter how tame, it can never be quite trusted. Like balf truths, it is con- tinually engaged in disarming suspicion, as for instance “All the world loves a lover except the girl he is chasing.” “Love controls the matrimonial market, but mciey often cor- ners A man who boasts of his morality needs watching.” “Love is often a poor paying hot-air investment.” “Memory is+oth the hope and despair of life.” However, that is quite enough to illustrate the point in question, namely the mystery and attractiveness of cats. you want to hear more—and of course you do—any time, all the time—you will see the big picture of the particular feline about which the above is written and read the strange article that goes therewith in the next Sunday Call. Even more fascinating are the two pages of “Half-Hour Storiette “In the Mystic Wake of the Red Canoe” is one that you will read wit distinct pleasure, nor will you be able to overlook “The Wild Flight of Cupid and the Comet.” Odd titles, eh? Yes. But they're both quaint, exciting stories. And there are others, you may be sure, “ “Elsie’s Gray Hat.” “A Modern Pandora,” “Finding of Her." of a Recol “Fables for the Foolish,” “Aphorisms From the ¢ Poppy,” “Fads and Phrases,” “The Oracle of Mulberry Center,” etc. These are not only unusual titles, but each is at the tép of a clever, thrilling, new and novel story. You'll read every one of them, and mo.e, because there is much more to read. Take note further. There is a full-page story by Josephine Dodge Daskam, who, asevery- body knows, won vast fame for her stories about children—not merely namby-pamby child stories, but real flesh and blood children. Just watch for “Ardelia in Arcadia” if you.don't know the sort that Mi Daskam writes about. You'll laugh until your sides ache. Then there is “Old John Gbrgon Graham's Alphabet.” This is the most original creation ever penned. Will you laugh? Yes. And do some serious thinking besides long before you get down to X, Y, Z. And then there is the third installment of “Brewster’'s Millions.” which tells what _that sorely perplexed but dead game young man did to make up for lost time after his long. serious iilness to spend—actually spend—not dissipate—his uncle’s million in one shdrt year to inherit six more. He rushed off to the Mediterranean, .nd—well just get The Sunday Call and read for_yourselt It is an installment that makes a complete story in itself.
