SAN Francisco, October 23.-The con-
tract for constructing section SO of the
sea wall, portion of which extends
across the foot of Market street, was
awarded to-day to J. s. Antonelli for
$l3S.6sS.
The hearing of the charges of irregu-
larity in his official capacity, preferred
against City Physician Black by Coroner
Stanton and Sheriff McManus, prac-
tically ended to-day. DR.. Black positively
denied that he had ever given poison to
Goldenson, the executed murderer of
Mamie Kelly, as had been stated.
William Golfer, a drayman, was
thrown from his seat to-day by truck
striking an obstruction in the street.
The fall stunned him and the
wheels Of the heavy loaded truck
passed over his chest, horribly crushing
him. He was taken to the hospital
where he died this evening. He leaves
a wife and six children.
Wong All Ling, Chinese domestic,
was fired upon in Chinatown
tonight by some person lying in
concealment. Two shots were fired,
one bullet entered the thigh
and passed through his leg, the other
passing through his body, made its exit
through the lower part of the abdomen.
His injuries are fatal. Wong said he did
not know his assailant and claims he was
shot through mistake.
The William H. Hardison, new oil
steamer, is rapidly approaching compile
ton here. Her former oil tanks proved a
failure and they were all removed and
new ones are being substituted, each

placed in the vessel, The Har-
Olson is being built to carry oil
between San Buena Ventura and
San Francisco. Sne will use oil for fuel,
this being allowable as she will carry no
passengers.

lofty appreciation Of the national issues
and of the valuable aid he must be rem
dering the cause of President Cleveland.
He does not grovel in the dust, nor spend
his time in petty and spiteful personali-
ties, but takes large and comprehen-
sive view of public affairs, so as to
embrace the sideways and amusements
of Republicans who go abroad, and also
an inventory of their baggage when they
return home. He sees in such matters
material to form discussion OF the great
questions connected with our foreign rela-
tions, our tariff and revenue systems.
In Indiana, however, where the
people speak with great plain
ness, they did not take the
same view of matters that l did,
but they declared with Western direct
ness and impressive bluntness, that his
speeches there "were just about the
Governor'g size," if you know what that
means.
When speaking to his own people in
New York, the Governor rises to the dig
nifty of different themes, and great moral
questions such as the liberty of the saloon
and it's blessing to free people, of the
universal diffusion of whisky; or he may
still further enlarge his theme to enlarg-

Great Parnell lnvs stlgatiOn.
LONDON, October 23.-On the re-as-
sembling of the Parnell Commission
to-day Joseph Biggar, one of the Irish
members OF Parliament involved in the
crimes charges, personally requested
that he be supplied with copies OF
those speeches read by Attorney
General Webster yesterday which re-
ferred to him. The Attorney General
promised to supply them, then con-
tinued with the presentation of the
Times case. He said Parnell's sup
porters had been trying to exhibit
him as one who stood aloof from the
"anti-rent" and "plan of campaign"
agitators that but the fact was as far back
as 1880 Parnell led the anti-rent move
ment and in speech in County Kerry,
in that year, told his hearers that the
Land League had plenty OF money to
defend tenant farmers who refused to pay
rents. He referred to the wickedness of
the advice given by Boyton, Timothy
Harrington and Father O'Leary at the
Barryclough meeting in 1881, and said
at that time Parnell and his colleagues
did not conceal their sympathy with the
Leagues emissaries in crime.
The Attorney. General reviewed the
history of the league and quoted from
the alleged Parnell letters which appear
ed in the Times. He said that before
the case was over all the circum-
stances under which the Times be-
came possessed of the letters would
be explained, and the names of the per-
sons from whom they were obtained be
made known. He declared that before
the letters we're published they were
examined by perfectly independent per-
sons and the handwriting compared with
other of Parnell's writings, and it was
agreed that the letters we're undoubtedly
genuine specimens of his penmanship.
Court adjourned until tomorrow.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 22.-Despite the
disagreeable weather sixty ladies from
Terre Haute called upon General and
Mrs. Harrison. Each Lady wore one or
more handsome campaign badges and
displayed the national colors, either in
the guise of a dainty handkerchief carried
in the hand or little.silk flag pinned on
the shoulder. Their reception was en-.
tirely informal mo speeches were INDUCED
in on either side. Each fair visitor was
introduced and conversed with General
Harrison, and Mrs. Harrison accom-
panied them through the parlors and re-
lated, for their edification, the history of
several antique pictures and curious
relics Of the campaign of 1910, sent to
the General since his nomination, with
which the room abounds.

PROTECTING the Rich. I.

Let the poor look out for themselves.
This is the po1icy of the Republican
party of to-day, as every man of common
sense can see at glance.
On the other hand, there is no stronger
argument in favor OF the Democratic
policy of tariF reduction than that af-
forded by the history of the war taxation.
One by one Republican Congresses re-
lieved corporations and rich men of the
burdens imposed upon them. Railroads,
banking business, large incomes were
successfully exempted from the war tax.
But the Democratic proposition to lessen
the burdens that fall upon all the people
has aroused the most virulent opposition
from the Republican party. The Sena-
torial Tariff bill, faithful to Republican
policy, seeks to tighten the load upon
luxuries and monopolies, but gives moth
ing of relief, comfort or encouragement
to the masses.
Now we come to the subject of the sur
plus in the Treasury that is increasing at
the rate of millions every month, and as
to the proper means of disposing of it
and stepping future accumulations. We
say take it off Of taxes paid for necessa-
ries of the poor mans house. Tie Re-
publican party says: "Buy our outstand-
ing bonds at premium of from 80 to 40
per cent" Mr.. Harrison in each of his
late speeches has emphatically an
nounoed that as his policy.
Who owns these bonds that Mr.. Har-
rison proposes to buy at this immense
premium? Not the producers of the
country, not the man who earns from one
to two dollars day which it
takes to support his family. These
people would reap no beneficial result
from buying up the bonds at premium
with the surplus they have paid the
taxes to accumulate, but it will 90
directly into the Golfers of the capitalists.
The Vanderbilts, the Goulds, the Astors,
the Carnegies.- Blaine's friends.
At one time Mr.. Vanderbilt bought
$50, ,O0O,e0C of our per cent bonds.
They are now held by his family. Let
us suppose for a moment that Mr.. Har-
rison's plan of buying the bonds at sc
per cent premium should be put in force
How long would it be before Vanderbilt's
lexecutors would turn this $4,000 00C
into the Treasury and receive therefor
$50, ,000, 900 of the Treasury surplus, thus
putting into the Golfers of this rich fam.

1t has been observed that Washington
seldomed smiled and never laughed. This,
however, is not correct. One instance is
mentioned by a gentleman, well known
for his veracity, with a degree of sang
froid. AT the time the troops were en-
camped at Cambridge, information was
received at headquarters that the English
were about leaving Boston to give them
battle. All was hustle and confusion.
The soldiers were strolling over the town,
and the officers were but i'll prepared for
the approaching renconter. Some of the
generals were calling for their horses, and
Others for their arms; and among the rest
was Gen. Greene, at the bottom of the
stairs, bawling to the barber for his wig.
Bring my wig, you rascal; bring my
wigl' Gen. Lee diverted himself and the
rest Of the company at the expense of
Greene. Your wig is behind the looking
glass, sir" At which Greene, raising his
eyes, perceived, by the mirror, that the
wig was where it should be-on his head.
Washington, in a fit of laughter, threw
himself on the sofa, and the whole group
presented rather a ludicrous spectacle

The records of the humane societies on
both sides of the Atlantic show that of
late years a fair proportion of their medals
fall to the lot of girls. There were sew
eral notable instances of rescue from
drowning last summer by girls under
twenty. Many women are accomplished
swimmers. This is but natural. As
their bones are generally lighter than
those of men, and their flesh more buoy
ant, they nave less difficulty to overcome
in acquiring the art. Some of them could
float at their first attempt, if they could
acquire the requisite faith in the power of
the water to hold them up, Swimming is
very much an art of faith, for it is gener-
ally the case that when person believes
sufficiently in the buoyancy of the water
to trust to it his precious body, lol he is
a swimmer. There were young girls at
Newport, last summer, who could float
On the surface of the ocean with no more
difficulty than they experienced in lying
upon a sofa. They could have foated for
hours, if necessary. Some of the most
famous swimming feats nave been accom-
plished by very young women. - The

When a London man is asked down to
join a shooting party, he would not take
his loader" with him, as his host would
expect to find him n loader, for no man
loads his own gun in England; it is the
duty of a servant. But if he were resid.
ing in the country he would expect to

bring two guns, as the delay of waiting
for one to be loaded might lose him a fine

leges that France has the smallest propor-
ton Of illegitimate births. From 1925
to 1867 the percentage of all Legitimate
births was 7.2 in France, SO in Prussia,
