The Preparations That Are Being Made
for the New Tug of-war.
Ten nationalities have entered the inter-
national tug Of war tournament which
will open at the Mechanics Pavilion April

terest Considerable rivalry exists among
several of the teams. Betting has already
commenced on the event with the Irish,
Germans. Americans, Canadians aud Scotch
about even. and the English team is coming
In for a sh are OF attention. Thomas T.
Ford, who began the organization OF the
English team for the last tournament, but
had to leave the city before the tournament,
has now returned and VIII take an interest
Ia the matter. Captain Rembert of the
Swedish team says his team is full and are
keeping their training quarters a secret.
They claim to have some new wrinkles in
tug of war tactics that will not be
known until the tournament opens. The
Danish team will have the bene-
fit of their last experience with
the Canadian team, and claim that when
they get toge Their in the tournament there
will be a different story TO tell. Captain
Albert is al the head of the Norw egians,
from which nationality it is not hard to
pick out good tug-of-war team. The Irish
team is training in large cooper-sho DO on
Fourteenth street, between Folsom and Har.
rison, where they have every facility to put
themselves in good condition. Captain
Casey says he has not completed the team
yet, but is trying every likely Irishman thai
comes along. There will not be man in
the team over 35 years Of age. Captain
Meriani trains his men at the Italian Ath
letc Club, on Bay street, between Taylor

SIDNEY BELLS PERIL.
A Scathing Address by District
Attorney Barnes.
In His View There Has Been Subornation of
Perjury and Conspiracy on the Side
of the Defense.

There have been so mauy sensational
episodes in the course OF the trial of Sidney
Bell for murder that the habitues of Judge
Murphy'S court are apt to feel disappointed
if a hearing day passes without some fresh
development in which somebody or other
gets hauled over the Goals. Yesterday was
no exception.
When District Attorney Barnes rose to
reply to the lengthy argument made by
Matthew T. Brady uf counsel for Bell. there
was quite an interesting gathering of law
yers and public officials around the prose-
eution stand. Captain Lees was there.

manner the doctor continued to pull good
bad and indifferent teeth until his arm gave

1t is a curious fact that on the Fo urth of

repairs shortly after their visit to the band

Mutuelle, organized in 1851 and one of the

cisco. has about decided to 60 ahead
with the construction of its new hospital
out on Point Lobos avenue, between Fifth
and Sixth. For many years the society has
maintained splendid hospital on Bryant
street, between Fifth and Sixth, but the
great value of the property for commercial
purposes long ago impressed it with the
need OF seeking a home elsewhere. The
Richmond location was picked out some six
years ago, but meanwhile it mas become so
desirable for homes and increased so in
value that still another change is contenl-
plated. The managers now have the mat
ter under serious consideration, and should
no change be decided upon the immediate
construction OF an elegant $4,000 e6ifce
will be commenced. 1t will be but two
stories high, but have large ground area
and accommodations for $50 patients.

who was luncheoned at the Victoria Hotel

himself with several other gentlemen who

later he observed that the tent was vacant,
and last week he saw that it was occupied
again. On making an examination he found
a Chinaman lying upon bed bearing all
the appearance of leper. He reported the
