FIGHTING CHINESE LOVERS.
One Young Wo Man Takes a Shot
Another.

One Young Wo Man Takes Shot at
90 70. Another.
The Chic Ming Long Club rooms at III
jackson street was the scene of desperate
: struggle about o'clock last night. Pistols
were drawn, but only one shot was fired,
= and the bullet slightly wounded Look Chow
on the bead. The shot was fired by Chan
Pow, the Janitor, in fit of jealousy.
. The police entered in time 10 prevent a
fatal termination of the scrape The
shooter tried to escape and succeeded in
passing his pistol TO another ChinaInan,
from whom it was afterward secured by A.
Hofnsman, the special officer at the WASH
ingtdn-street Theater. Sergeant Spillane
and posse, who were in Ross alley at the
time looking for tan games, made all haste
to the rooms. Chan Pow was turned over
to Officers Gordon and MeManus, who toUk
e. him to the Central Station and charged him
with assault to commit murder.
The rooms where the row occurred Is a
very high-toned establishment, as the Young
Wo people are all business men or working
people. LDok Chow, who is very inteili-
gent ChiDaman, stated that he was cook
at 312 Eddy street. and Chan Pow accused
him a few days ago of estranging the affec-
lions OF Chinese damsei. He denied the
Impeachment and they departed, after a
Wrangle.
Last night was the first time that they had
: met since. Chow was reclining on couch
when Pow came in. who on seeing Chow drew
- A-caliber revolver and took shot at him.
Chow, who is a powerful man, sprang up
and grappled with him. Ali the gods and
s1b-gods in the room were overturned and
considerable chinaware was broken before
they were parted.

SURGEON AND SAILOR.
A Physician Ships as a Whaler's
Cabin. Boy.

Among the crew of the whaling bark Eliza,
which was wrecked at st. Lawrence Island,
in the Arctic, in the early part OF last month,
and who was brought down here on the
steam whaler Belvedere on Saturday, was
man known as doctor" His ShipmateS,
though they nicknamed him doctor. did not
know that he was a regularly qualified prac-
titioner until they were cast adrift. and then
they found he was one. and good one. TOO.
After being cast upon the unacceptable
island the men suffered from the intense
cold and a number of them were frost-blt-
ten. With the few remedies that he could
get from the bark's medicine chest, the dog
tor treated the afflicted and alleviated their
sufferings. and the crew say that had 1t not
been for his care and attention no doubt
several of them would have died and others
would have been crippled for life.
Anxious to see what sort of man the
doctor was, CALL reporter hunted him up
yesterday. He was found in a sailors
clearinghouse on the front and presented
rather wOebegOne appearance, dressed as
he was in suit of coarse clothes, several
sizes too large for him, which he had OBJ
tanned from the Belvedere slop-cheSt. In
answer to queries he said:
My name is Herman Ewald and am
native OF Brock, Austria, SO years OF age.

and graduated from there, receiving my
diploma as an allopathic physician. Shortly

years practiced as a doctor at Paterson,

never been to sea before. 1t was pretty
rough, tell you.
"When we were cast adrift on the island,
l treated the frost-bitten men, and sue
ceeded in alaying the inflammation inmany
cases, ana saved the feet OF some OF the
men. 1 have had all the whaling l want. L

home to my people from Point Hope, and l
AM expecting them to send me money TO pay
my fare back to Paterson, and if once get
there l will never leave it again to go as
ordinary seaman and surgeon or whaler.

grapes reach perfection side by side. which
makes it possible by hybrids to combine the
best qualities of both. Grape seeds for SOW
ing are entirely freed from the pulp and
then mixed thoroughly with pure sand, to
be kept moist but not wet throughout the
winter. They should be placed where the
temperature is evenly cool, above the freez-
ing point. but little freezing will do no
harm. The seeds should be sown rather
thickly in the spring, in a cold frame, and
transplanted to the field when thoroughly
rooted, after danger of frost is over; or II
specially strong plants are desired, they can
be picked out three inches apart IN the
frame. and allowed to reach larger size be-
fore transplanting. Rosa Democrat.

claimed were withheld from them by a

Yesterday afternoon a gentleman went to
the Oakland Ferry, foot of Market street,
accompanied by handsome large New
foupdland dog. AS he went ON board the
2 o'clock boat he said: You stop on the
dock here till l come back" The dog
stayed and all the coaxings of the policemen
and officials could not get him to bulge. He
watched aDxiOusiy the arrivals by every
boat, and when his master returned at 5
o'clock, he showed his joy by loud barks.
