ANOTHER NORTHER.
The Home of the Visitor Is in the
Nevada Deserts.
1t Is Due Here Tomorrow and Will Make
Things SiZzle-A Few Words on the
Present Warm Wave.

Lieutenant Finley held quite a recep-
ton yesterday in the Signal Service Office.
1t was not full-dress, claw-hammer coat
and white-necktie affair. but simply a steady
series of calls by perspiring citizens who
wanted to talk about the weather.
To the average man pain or distress of
any KIND is relieved by information OF the
cause of it. In general way the informa-
ton is only consoling on the same principle
that it is held that misery likes company.
The man who sagely observed that ten
miles between two is five miles apiece, had
the same IDEA in his mind.
To Lieutenant Finley the warm wave was
simply a natural phenomenon; as natural
and as interesting as an eclipse OF the sun,
a transit of Venus, or a near approach of
the planet Mars to the EARTH Just as
astronomers know the exact date of these
events years In advance, so Lieutenant Fin
ley, the moment he sees certain figures in

Narrow Escape of Chinese From Il Being
Shot in tho Head.
While Officers Oman and Peters, of the
Chinatown squad, were standing on the cor
ner of Dupont and Sacramento streets,
about 10 O'clock last night, they heard a
pistol shot fred about fifty yards away.
Rushing up Sacramento street they captured
a Chinese named Lee Mon, who appeared to
have fired the shot,
He denied that such was the fact, and
stated he had been fired at by one of the no.
torious women on the street and pointed
out the place. On entering the house he in
dlcated woman named Blanche Henry
was found with smoking pistol in her
hand. She acknowledged that she had fired
the shot. and said that the Chinese had an
nOyed her at her window and had tried to
force his way III when she drew her revolver
and shot at him. the ball just grazing the
cheek of the Chinaman. As an excuse she
stated that some months ago Chinese had
forced his way into her place and stabbed
her and she did not want similar ex-
perience.
Blanche Henry was charged at the Gen.
trail Station with assault to murder and the
Chinese was detained as a witness. Out
side of being badly scared the Chinaman
was not injured. His escape, however, was
q very narrow one.

eide by shooting.
Thomas Cleary, private of the Fifth
Artillery. U. S. A, attempted to end his
earthly career by shooting himself, while on
board the steamer Mcdowell, yesterday
afternoon about 5 o'clock. The boat had
left Angel Island for Fort Mason with quite
large party of ladies and gentlemen,
guests of Captain Armstrong of the First
Infantry, among whom the greatest excite
ment prevailed in consequence.
Cleary was one of the guards in charge of
prisoners and when the boat was about half
way between the two points he mounted to
the upper deck and, walking to the front of
the pliot-house, deliberately cooked his rife,
placed the butt on the deck, bent himself
over the muZzle, and before those near him
could realize his purpose. pulled the trigger.
The next instant the man fell to the deck on
his face as if dead.
Among the guests on board was DR.. R. Z.
Bunker, who at once went to Cleary's as
slstance. cursOry examination showed
that the wound was only flesh wound and
not at all dangerous, much to the disgust of
the would-be suicide, who said he was
sorry his attempt had failed. BY the time
the boat reached Black Point. Cleary had
recovered sufficiently to be able to walk
ashore, and was at once turned over to the
army surgeons Cleary is not more than %
wears old.

One Day in Oakland Decided Upon-In-
vited to Santa Cruz.
The Executive Committee of the Commit
tee of Arrangements, now engaged In max
ing preparations for the National Library
Association Convention. to be held in this
city in October, held another meeting last
night. The question of giving the visitors
one day in Oakland was practically settled,
and Thursday of the week of the convention
was decided upon. The party will first be
taken to the University at Berkeley, thence
to Oakland by the electric road, and thence
by cable to Piedmont After the ride a
banquet will be spread in Oakland and an
evening session Of the convention held in
the Unitarian Church.
An invitation was received to spend day
in Santa Cruz, but no action could be taken
because no definite programme can be ar
ranged until something certain is known of
what the visitors have agreed upon.
So far as known at present three DAYS
will be spent in this city, one day in Pale
Alto. one day in Oakland and one at Mon
terey. To avoid the meetings becoming
tedious all technical papers to be read at
the convention are to be reserved till the
latter part of the session.

FEDERATED TRADES.
Trouble Between Two of the
Unions Adjusted.

At the meeting of the Federated Trades
last night Max Stein, j. Bauer and Z. p.
Burman presented credentials as delegates
and were seated.
The Sacramento Federation sent word
that it would ask Governor Markham to de-
clare Labor day legal holiday here. as it is
in other States. Most of the manufacturers
and merchants OF that city have promised to
close their places on Labor day.
The Secretary of the Federation at Port
land wrote that the unions of that city will
send a delegate to the Council of Coast
FederatiOns which will shortly be formed.
The Executive Committee reported that
some of the wareEousemen at Carquinez
Straits are now paying 81 80 per day for
nine hours work; that a joint meeting OF
the wholesale and retail grocers will be held
o II Wednesday afternoon to discuss the
box-makers' boycott of Carrick, Williams d

brewery WOTkmen was reSurrected by a
motion made by the former that all coopers

eusued. Thurman said that the matter had
been settled long ago when the working
rules of the Brewery Workmen's Union
were adopted by the council. Such course
would cause another fight with the boss
brewers. The council finally voted down
the motion.

spread so rapidly that it had assumed alarm

rapidly consumed them. A large force of
men went to work with wet sacks and
fought the flames so vigorously that by 9
o'clock they were under control and ex-
tinguished an hour later The loss amounted
to several hundred dollars. In the lower

on Bernal Heights, although it was twelve

The Joke a Bonanza for the Bows,

A practical joke on large scale has been
perpetrated at Hernais, a suburb of Vienna.
There is plat of building land there more
than 800 yards long by fifty yards broad, sur
rounded by boarding two and a half yards
high. As about 400 boys were playing there
on Monday passer-by told them that the
boarding had been set aside for the poor
and any one might take the tim Der away.
In spite of the threats of the Waterman in
charge the boys demolished the boarding in
half an hour and carried the planks home.
When the police appeared nothing was to be
seen except few poles. The police or
dered survey of the adjoining houses, but
very few planks were found.
