The Gift of the Late James Lick Soon to
be Opened.
SAN FRANCISCO. October 4th.-Within "a
fortnight, if nothing unforeseen occurs, the
new Lick Baths on Tenth street viii be
open for the public. Everything is now
completed in the neat stone structure, only
few details of the furnishing remaining
to be accomplished. The building is
great ornament to the locality. II is of
brown sandstone in irregular courses, and
the design is both artistic and substantial.
Descriptions of tie buildings interior have
already been published. There are great
number of separate apartments with the
ordinary appointments of bathroom 10
each. There are no tank baths, as the OBJ
ject of this gift for the use of the public is
one for utility rather than for enjoyment.
Due announcement will be given by the
Trustees of the prospective opening, with
details of management, etc.
The completion of the baths is the full
fillment of the eleventh clause of the trust
deed of the millionaire philantbropist. 1t
sets apart $3.50 600 to be used " in the cree
ton and maintaining in the city OF San
Francisco of free baths, the site or sites
therefore to be acquired and held
to forever maintain such baths for the free
use of the public, under proper and reason
able regulations" The original trustees
were A. NJ. Newhall, Ira P. Rankin, DR.. J.
D. B. Stillman and John D. Earl. Messrs.
Rankin and Earl are the only surviving
trustees. The trust deed was dated Sep

The Changing judge

Three men have earned this undesirable
title. The first was Sir Francis Page, a
merciless Justice of the first half of the
eighteenth century, who is said to have
condemned over 600 men. The second
was the Earl of Norbury, who was Chief
Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in
Ireland from 1920 to 1927, and who con-
Quoted the proceedings OF his court on the
idea that his business was to condemn the
accused as quickly and with as little for
maiity as possible. The third, and he who
best deserved the name, was the infamous
Jeffries, who, in 1855, held what were
known, even in his own time, as the
Bloody Assizes." After the defeat of the
Duke of Monmouth in the battle of Sedge-
moore, JetfIies was sent to the West of
England for the purpose of hanging the
rebels. He was accompanied by troops,
hangmen and an abundance of rope. 1--WE
shall need plenty of it." he said before
leaving London, and in few weeks he
condemned and executed upward Of 800
men and women. Hundreds more were
fined, imprisoned or whipped at the CARTS
tail by the hangmen, and more than a
thousand were sent out to America s
slaves. On the flight of James III. Jefries
tried to escape. but was arrested and COM
mitted to the Tower. None even of his
former friends, came to see him, and he
deemed himself forgotten, till one day an
oyster cask arrived. "Thank God, have
one friend left, he said, but was mistaken,
for the barrel contained, in cruel jest, only
oyster shells and stout rope tied in
hangman's knot. Soon after this incident
Jeffries died in prison of drunkenness. His
character is depicted in mastery style by
Macaulay.-S Louis Gtobe-Denocrat.

Orders Given for Her Acceptance at the
Mare Island Navy Yard.
WASHINGTON October 4th.-Orders were
issued to day from the Navy Department
20 the Commandant of the Navy Yard at
Mare Island, California, to accept cruiser
No 8, known as the San Francisco.
The report of the Trial Board, of which
Commodore John Quin was President, gave
the ship on her trial trip an average speed
of 10 663 knots per hour. Her speed was
based on run of four hours an allowance
of one minute and forty-two seconds being
made on account of the necessity for
stopping the forced draught to the two
lower furnace air ducts to the boiler in the
second fire-room from the forward during
the latter part of the run, and to all of the
furnaces in forward fre-room for fifteen
minutes. This was necessary. for water
was discovered coming into the forward
fre-room, where it had been used
for circulating through the guide sprays
on the bearing and crank pins and
extra water supply of all of the eccentrics
1t had drained into the bilge wells and
risen to point higher than the drain valve
in the forward boiler compartment, which
opens into the main drain that connects
with the bilge well, and as this valve was
accidentally open the water from the bilge
pump backed up through the drain pipe
valve on to the fre-room floor and par
tally filled the two lower furnaces and
ducts OF the boilers in the second fire-room
forward. Without this allowance of one
minute and forty-two seconds the speed of
the vessel was 10 518 knots.
The Board states that the cause for clos
ing down was entirely outside of the work
ing of the engines and boilers, as required
by the contract. The vessels speed during
the last fifteen minutes of the run was
20 lis knots per hour and by the pateut
log she averaged for four hours 90 604
knots

THE COMING OF DEATH
The Signs Many and variable-Dying Usu-
ally Painless Experience.

The signs of impending death, says the
-NedicG! JoUraot are many and variable.
No two instances are precisely identical,
yet several signs are common to many
cases.
Shakespeare, who observed everything
else, observed and recorded some of the
premonitory signs OF death also. In the
account of the death of Falstaff the sharp
ness of the nose, the GOODNESS of the feet,
gradually extending upward the picking
at the bedclothes, are accurately described.
For some time before death indications
of its approach become apparent. Speech
grows thick and labored, the hands, If
raised, fall instantly, the respiration is diff
cult, the heart loses its power to propel the
blood to its extremities, which conse-
quently become cold, clammy moisture
voice grows weak and husky or piping,
the eyes begin to lose their luster.
In death at old age there is gradual
dulling of all the bodily senses and of
many Of the mental faculties; memory
fails, judgment waivers, Imagination goes
out like candle. The muscles and tend
ons get stiff, the voice breaks the cords of
the tabernacle are loosening. Small noises
irritate, sight becomes dim, nutrition goes
on feebly, digestion is impaired, the secre-
tions are insufficient, or vitiated, or cease,
capillary circulation is clogged Finally
the central organ Of the circulation comes
to stop, full stop, and this stoppage
means dissolution. This is the death of
old age, which few attain to-
Many people have an idea that death is
necessarily painful, even agonizing, but
there is no reason whatever to suppose that
death is more painful process than birth.
1t is because, in certain proportion of
cases, dissolution is accompanied by visi-
bic spasm and distortion of the counte-
nance that the idea exists, but it is as
nearly certain as anything can he that
these distortions of the facial muscles are
not only painless, but take place uncon-
sciously. In many instances, too, coma
tose or semi-comatose state supervenes, and
it is altogether probable that more or less
complete Inconsistencies then prevails.
We have, too, abundant evidence of people
who have been nearly drowned and resus-
citated, and they all agree in the state
ment that after few moments of painful
struggling, fear and anxiety pass away and
state of tranquility succeeds. They see
visions of green fields, and in some cases
hear pleasing music; and so far from be-
ing miserable their sensations are delight
full. But where attempts at resuscitation
are successful the resuscitated persons al
most invariably protest against being
brought back to life, and declare that re-
suscitation is accompanied by physical
pain and acute mental misery.
Death is fact which every man must
personally experience, and consequently is
of universal interest; and as facts are facts,
the wiser course is to look them sauarely
in the face, for necessity is coal black and
death keeps no calendar.

and that the market within few weeks
will show a marked advance from present
figures in dried peaches, as, owing to the
high prices paid by Gamers the last month
or so, the drying of peaches has stopped
entirely, and the market is now cleaned
up very closely. IT is only a question of
time when the Eastern market will re-

LAWYER HERRINGT0N.
BE Tells How He Received the Coat of
Tar and Feathers.

STOCKTON, October 4th-Jame5 Herring
ton, the land-lawyer who was tarred and
feathered at Bakersfield few days ago, is
in this city with his wife. His story is that
shortly before be was tarred and feathered
ne received a warning that there was plot
against him. He was arrested at Delano
by Deputy Sheriff on charge of perjury,
for the purpose $50 he asserts) of getting
him back to Bakersfield, aud into the
hands of his enemies.
Within half an hour after being incarce-
rated in the Bakersfield Jail, masked men
came, entered his cell aud tried to over
power him. He fought hard, and one of
the men shot at him, the ball entering his
side. The IEan dropped the pistol, and
Harrington seized it, but another man
stepped on his hand and be had to let 60 of
the weapon. They then carried him out
of town, administered the tar and feathers
and turned him loose.
He travelled fifteen miles in the sparsely
settled country with his feet torn and
bleeding, and finally saw an acquaintance
coming along the road in wagon. This
man drove home with him, stopping on
the way to get some socks to serve as cloth
ing. Harrington says he has no idea who
his sssailants were. The bullet in his side
was not extricated until last night.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
One of the Causes of Their Discharge
From the New York Central.

New YORK, October 4th.-It is reported
that the management of the New York
Central Railroad was asked by other labor
organizations to drive the knights Of Labor
from the service of the company. A cor
respondent writes: 1t is not generally
known, but it is a Act. that this latest order
not only has the approval of some other
organizations, but the Central management
has been actually requested by representa-.
tives of the Locomotive and Fireman g
Brotherhoods to drive the knight of Labor
out of the system. The members of the
Brotherhoods. as in the Switchmen's
Union, have been complaining that ever
since the strike that they were molested,
and at times in state of terror on account
of the intimidation practiced by the walk
ing delegates and other acts of the knights.
& committee of the Locomotive En-
gineers' Brotherhood went so far as to tell
Webb that the company would have TO
choose between the engineers organization
and that of the Knights of Labor. There
is no opposition on the part of the Central
management to any labor organization
whatever, excepting the Knights. In fact.
it is claimed that all others are encouraged
and supported.
