AFTER VACATION.
The Public Schools Reopened
Under New Rules.

The public schools reopened yesterday
with full attendance, and in consequence
there WAS more than the usual activity and
hustle in the office of the Board of Educa-
ton, where the clerks were kept busy all
day in attending to necessary details,
answering applications for Information,
making out certificates of transfer and
filing petitions of various interested parties.
The new rules Of the board relating to
classification and districting of the pupils
went into effect yes terday, and, as a result,
many scholars who were attending favorite
schools, though living in another district,
were compelled to be transferred to the
proper school. Both Superintendent SWEET
and Deputy Superintendent Bullock believe
that the rule will, if carried out, be most
economical one, and will prevent much OF
the oyercrowding which is to be seen in
some of the more favored schools.
Most of the teachers were reported on
duty, and all were said to have returned to
their work with renewed strength and
health as result of their summer vacation.
Mrs. Cronen of the Mission Grammar, and
the teachers who went with her to Europe,
all returned in time to take charge OF their
respective classes.
The Commercial Evening School. recently
established by the Board of Education, was
OPOhNu it'SI tilC bidu1 iihlaiy
School on Golden Gate avenue. The
branches of instruction in this school will
be arithmetic, book keeping, penman-
ship, shorthand. type writing and cor
respondence. The main feature of the
school will be the practical depart
ment. in which will be taught the
ruling methods of conducting mercantile
and banking business. Lectures on COM
mercial law will be given. The admittance
TO the school is free for all boys and girls
over II years of age.
The teachers and janitors' demands for

Director Hyde stated that the impression
held by parents ard children that the Cogs-

For two weeks the fly flew around my

various tricks, which at first were somewhat
of failure. Soon he had advanced in the
art until lie would allow me to lift him up

two OF the little splinters under him, and,
by deal OF patience aud coaxing induced
him to stand on his hind legs. Then again

DEADLY YELLOWS."
Danger Of Its Importation From
the East.

The Executive Committee Of the State
Board of Horticulture held meeting yes
terday; present Elwood Cooper, Frank A.
Kim oall and Chairman J. S. Mo5her.
1t was decided TO draw warrant for
$500 in favor Of Albert Rochelle, who has
been appointed to visit Australia, New
Zealand and other places in search of
parasites.
The fact that several California nursery
men have sent East for large lots of peach
stock for budding purposes causes much
apprehension in the commission. The
great fear is that it may introduce into this
State the deadly peach disease known as
the ''yellowS," and the Commissioners warn
all intending purchasers OF the possible
dangers, and to be on their guard. The at
tention Of the County Commissioners and
quarantine guardians is also called to the
matter, and a rigid enforcement of the law
is recommended.
resolution was read from the Campbell
Horticultural Society, containing charges
preferred by I. NJ. RICHTER against AeXan-
der Craw, State Quarantine Officer, and also
several communications were read from Mr..
Fighter, in which allegations were made
concerning the subject-matter. 1t was con-
Sidered important that the grounds Tor such
charges should be fully and carefully lnVeS-
tigated. To secure this result number OF
persons were summoned TO give testimony.
L. NJ. RICHTER, j. Ii. Fhckinger, Ii. a.
Brainard and others testified.
No testimony was produced showing that
Mr. Craw had not fully carried out the In
structions of the board. The testimony was
conflicting. however, in regard to his In
structons TO the parties employed 20 disln-
feet a quantity OF peach trees at San Jose
(out OF which the charges originated. 1t
was also shown that a large number Of the
trees complained of were sold and diStri-
but-d over the country before the board or
Quarantine 0fficer was notified OF the pres
ence OF the trees in the State.
The board regarded the charges as not
sustained, aud eXonerated Mr.. Craw.
The day for holding the frult-gr0wers'
next convention WAS fixed for Novembe T
17th to Goth, 1891, inclusive, at Marysville.
The Secretary was instructed to request
members To report the progress of horti-
cultural interests in their districts in ac-
cordance with previous custom and the law.
The same request was made of the two
Commissioners at large.

He VIII Re Tbera

Rev. Mr.. Hubbard failed to meet his
class last Thursday afternoon. The
fact is, he entirely forgot his appoint.
ment. He wont out to Brandywine
Summit camp grounds witha commit
tee, and he did not think of his class
until 1t was too late TO attend. He
was sorry for those who attended, for
they were disappointed. He was not
sorry for those who stayed away. He
will, however, be present at the meet
ing tomorrow and then he will be
sorry for all members who are absent.
Those who go, he said, will certainly
mud him there, as he will not disap
point them again. 10 emphasize this
assertion, ho related q little piece OF
his personal experience.
When he was first appointed to the
charge of the church at New Castle, he
knew very well that the cars left this
city at Z 10 pm. for that place, but go.
Ing to tho depot he found that the train
had departed without him. The next
occasion he was also little late, the
train had gone and he was not among
the passengers. There was no other
conveyance, but he did not wish te
dissapoint the people. He therefore
said to himself, Hubbard, you are In al
pretty fix, the road is rather muddy
and sloppy, but yon have got to walk
to New Castle. And off he started, and
walked the five weary miles, and
preached to the people next day.
After this lesson he did not forget
the time, but WIS always on hand,
when the train started. 1t Is clear he
will be in attendance at his class on
Thursday afternoon, and he will be
sorry, very sorry for the members of
1t who fail to attend.

1t is now fully established that the

day evening, was caused by apoplexy
A post-mortem examination was held
yesterday morning by Drs Fahey and
Smith, which showed that the deceased
had been seized by asudden and severe
attack Of apopleSy, therefore there is
not the slightest foundation for the
stories that have been circulated OF
there being O suspicion Of foul play.
1t has also been ascertaiued that Ford
and his wife were greatly attached to
each other, and instead of there being
frequent quarrels as was alleged by
goaslps, they were never known to
have word. Mrs. Ford was not even
in the house when her husband died,

Rough Ekperienoe of British Sail
ora in n NAV Cvoloue

Rough Experience Of British Sail
ors in May Cyclone.
PHILADELPHIA, May 18.-The British
steamship Canton, Capt. Ellis, just ar
arrived from Mediterranean ports, had
terrible experience on her last voyage.
On May / she encountered a cyclone,
and for week all hands were in mo-
mentary dread of annihilation.
Chief Officer Foss says that it was no
unusual thing for the ship to dive down
into the sea, submerging herself directly
up to the foremast. Once during the
eventful passage she went completely
under, submerging the officers on the
flying bridge. 1t was never thought she
would come mp again, and when She did
rise to the surface all hands were dazed
for several minutes. Water gained en-
trance to the hold, and at one time when
the pumps We're sounded fourteen inches
were found in the hold.
The fact of tho cyclone working
around the ship for such a length Of
time is regarded as wonderful, as there
has never been brought to notice before
such an unusual occurrence. Capt. Ellis
and Chief Officer Foss, in speaking of
the matter last night, said that it would
be impossible TO comprehend the fury of
the wind and sea throughout that awful
week. The seas ran to such height
that one could not judge the manner in
which they were likely to fall, hence the
ship was cast about at its mercy like a
board.
Mate Foss says he has crossed the At
lantic dozens Of times in midwinter, but
this is the most terrific experience he
has ever had. He never dreamed the
Canton would reach port.
