AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS.

Events of a Day Which Made Mr.. Scrfg-
giles Tired.
1t was Christmas day; anybody could tell
1t; sleigh bells rang out more crisp and clear
than usual; the sun was brighter, the air
was sharper, men stepped more briskly along
the streets, the chimes sounded sweeter; the
sleigh bells tinkied more merrily, and if that
wasn't enough to convince the most skepti-
cal, he could look at the heading Of tho
morning newspaper.
'Har' cried Mr.. Scricgles as he limped
out of bed; ''beautiful dayi beautiful; and,
indeed, Christmas; Mrs. Scriggles isn't awake
yet either; I'll get ahead of her this tima-

He skipped Gayly down stairs just in time
to meet the new up stairs girl.

The cook was just emerging from the
kitchen when he arrived at the door
'Christmns gil. Massa Scriggles'
"Certainly, Arahella; here's 50 for YOU
Breakfast was eaten and Scriggles presented
his wife with a bonnet which she said was
horrid, and she gave him a cane to add to his
collection, which numbered something over
dozen.
He then took the street car down town
''Mornin', Afassa Scriggles." said his bcct-

elevator boy.

office boy in CHEEKY, holiday tone, which
was good for 50.
'Ah, good day, madame said he to tho

Mr.. Seriggles said certainly, and handed
her the money.
The janitor and two scrub ladies also made
successful calls. He had to compromise with
the latter on so cents apiece.
AT about o'clock Mr.. Serigges concluded
to start for home. As he reached the side

KILLED BY A TRUCK.
Supposed Suicide of Discharged
Insane Man.

j. Muwison, who was discharged from the
Stockton Insane Asylum on the 18th inst as
a recovered patient was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon under the wheels of
heavy truck at the intersection of Spear and
Harrison streets.
The truck was driven by William Reilly
and is owned by Lewis & Albertson, lum-
ber-dealers. on Steuart street. Reilly sur
rendered himself and was charged with
manslaughter. He was released on his own
recognizance. He did not see Muwison
until after the accident.
Theodore johnson. who was standing on
the sidewalk at the time OF the accident,
saw the deceased make jump suddenly
and then fall before the wheel. Whether
the leap was made to avoid the truck or
with suicidal intent he could not tell, as the
man seemed to stagger backward and then
make dive in the opposite direction.
Muwison's face was crushed into pulp
by the grinding wheels, which passed over
his head. When the truck had passed over
him he presented horrible sight. His body
was taken to the M0rgue.

ISLE OF MOEMOTU,
Address by Mrs. Loud Before the Gee
graphical Society.

Address by Mrs. Loud Before the Geo.
graphical Society.
A meeting of tho Geographical Society OF
the Pacific was held last evening at 400 Pine
street. Professor George Davidson, Presi-
dent. in theichair, and at the conclusion of
the routine business Mrs. Emily S. Loud
read most interesting paper on 1.-THE ply
steal and social aspects OF the Isle of
MOemOtu" South Pacific OCEAN,. The lee
ture was illustrated by maps and photo
graphs and by samples OF the products of
the island.
Mrs Loud described how twenty years
ago she and her husband were living at
Tahiti, Society Islands, and her husband,
who was In the employ of mercantile firm,
made frequent trips among the Islands of the
South Pacific Ocean. On one of his trips to
the PomOutu Islands he sighted a small
group In an untreQuented part oil the South
Pacific and landed there to find that although
covered with vegetation the islands APP
peared to be uninhabited. Upon his return
to Tahiti he made inquiries about them and
found that no one there knew anything
about them.
1t occurred to him, however, that could
he have lease OF the largest island, which
seemed to be well covered with cocoanut
trees, and manufacture copra, ETC., for the
European and American markets. and also
raise pigs and poultry for the Tahiti market,
uho iooutI WOuiu Uc q ptCunidry SUCCESS,
with but little risk, as the expense of living
there would be small. Mr.. Loud secured a
lease of the island Of Moemotu from Queen
Pomare, to whom it undoubtedly belonged,
giving the exclusive control OF it with all its
products for ten years.
The island is in latitude 100 south. Iongi-
tude 1902 west and to il he went with his
wife TO live, and the latter told in her lee
ture how they went there and the life they
lived there. La the course Of her remarks
she described many features OF human and
brute life IN the island. including the man
ner in which the frigate and other birds Sc
cure their food, the II tive manner of plant
ing cocoanut trees, of cooking their food, of
making their bark cloth. of wearing their
scanty clothing, OF preparing copra or dried
cocOanut pulp for the market and of gather
Ing the phosphate guanO of Polynesia. She
also related several legends Of the natives,
and at the conclusion of her lecture was
awarded hearty vote of thanks.

JOHN GRAY'S STEALINGS.
The Attempt to Collect Them From Ea
Commissioner Phillips.

Ihe Attempt to Collect Them FROM tx
Commissioner Phillips.
The array of legal talent that gathered
about the tables in Judge Skaters court
room yesterday morning suggested that
something of unusual importance was Oh
hand; and so it proved. The case OF long
standing, brought by State Controller John
p. Dunn in the name of the people against
William A. Phillips, who was HarboE
Commissioner in 1SS0-S2. and his sureties,'
Moses Heller and William L. CARAT, to re-
cover Sill, 1886, came on for trial before
jury.
The case briefly outlined is as follows:
During John S. Gray'S term as Secretary of
the Board of Harbor Commissioners there
was shortage in that office of about S9l, 800
and when Phillips was appointed Harbor
Commissioner he gave a bond of 100000
with Moses Heller and William L. Garratt
as sureties. A demand was made upon him
by Controller Dunn for this shortage. and
upon his refusal TO pay it suit was COM
menced against him and his sureties to re-
cover the entire amount, with interest and
penalty. This was in February, 1854. Since
then both Heller and Garratt have died, and
the suit is now prosecuted against the
estate. Meanwhile John 5. Gray has been
convicted of embeZzlement and served a term
in the State Prison. O'Brien, his assistant,
was also tried on the same charge, bat never
Hospital.
lu opening the case for the people it was
stated that no attempt would be made to
show that Phillips took the missing money,
but it would be shown that he as Commits
sioner was responsible for any deficiencies
resulting through the negligence or criminal
ity OF his agent. The defense set up by
Phillips is that he faithfully discharged the
duties of his office; that the missing money
never came into his hands and that he never
retained one cent of the States money.
The people are represented on the trial by
Langhorne & Miller, W. T. Baggett and j.
b. Mhoon; defendant Phillips by Sullivan IL
Sullivan; the Garrat5 estate by Sharp IL
Powell, and the Heller estate by Hall,
Rogers & Hitler. The jurors are Robert
Lorentz, Henry Eeks, ID. Wohlman, Charles
2. Oyerton, b. c. Austin, Jerome Walsh,
Sylvester Moore, K. A. Kershaw. Fritz
Hauer, Hemming +. Lode, j. X. Jones and
Michael Flood. Tue trial will most likely
last for several weeks.
