The DAVIE FERRY.
1t Is Getting Most of the Oak

Because the Southern Pacific Arbi-

Peoples Companies Join.

SAN FRANCE CO, Sept. 30.-TSpecial. +
The order of the Southern Pa
cifc raising the freight rate on express
parcels between San Francisco and Oak
land has turned out of more serious
consequence to the Southern Pacific
than that company had any idea of. A
big lot of freight was turned over this
morning to the Davie Ferry and Trans
portation company, and the Southern
Pacific by raising its rates has simply
given the Davie company an opportu
nifty it long has sought.
1t was found neces sary today by the
Dayie company, in addition to the
freight boats acquired from the Whit
ney people, to employ the passenger
boats Rosalie and Alvira in carrying
small parcels as well as passengers.
The Davie line has thus become the
popular freight line as we'll as the peo-
pies passenger ferry.
The Davie company is now about to
effect another big consolidation. The
recent consolidation of the Whitney,

THE OLD STORY.
Wine and Women End
in Death.
Downfall of a Bright
Young Lawyer.
Tilted by a Woman He Com
mits Suicide.
His Engagement to an American
Actress Broken Because of
His Intemperance.

LONDON, Sept. 3d. AssociatedPress.
The lifeless body of young and
handsome man was found few days
days ago floating in the muddy waters
of the River Thames and the discovery
of the corpse has unfo!ded a romance in
which beautiful young American ac-
tress is connected.
The body was discovered, bloated and
distorted. floating on the sullen, swift
waters by one of those might hawk
boatmen who follow the CHASTITY trade
OF fishing for stiff uns." From papers
found on the body the identity of the
drowned man was established. The
body was that of Richard Champion
Stevens, a young lawyer, who had the
brightest prospects before him, but who
sought relief from trou bles said to have
been caused by his own indiscretions
and his love for an American beauty Of
the stage.
The story of Stevens unhappy life
and love for the trans Atlantic beauty
was unfolded at the inquest held upon
the remains. Young Stevens, it ap-
pears, came OF a good family and in
herited a fortune upon the death OF his
father. Stevens, when he became pos
sessed of his inheritance, seems to have
looked upon life more as one round OF
solid enjoyment than as serious strug-
gle for position and fame. In any case
he iissipated his fortune in one way
and another.
During the latter part OF his career
young Stevens became acquainted with
Miss Helen Kirby, an American actress
W~sn Stevens made the lady's &C.
quaintance she was member of Imre
Kiralfy's ''Venice" company. The two
young people appear 10 have been very
good friends until Stevens dissipated
habits alarmed the young American
lady Then she appears to have made
unsuccessful efforts to guide him into 6
straighter path.
Letters found upon the body of the
unhappy young lawyer from Miss Kirby
were dated August Is, from Buffalo, n
Y, and one, apparently the letter
which caused the young lawyers death
was dated August 20, from the New Os
born House, Rochester, N. Y.
Facts which were developed at the
inquest show that young Stevens wal
very much depressed after the receip
of these letters, especially the last one
and that he was never his old self after
wards. The letters referred to wer!
signed "Vixen," and in them the write;
reproached Stevens for "drink and bro
ken promises"
"Vixen," in the last letter, said tina
she went to America, by her mother
advice in order to break her engage
ment to the young lawyer. ''Vixen'
continued:

only man who has disgrsced himself
and the girl he loved with drink. Oul
future lies IN your hands; but am no
to be won with promises"

maker and tobacco grower, brought to
the Bee office today two sheaves of leaf

WASHINGTON,
Chandler Scores the
President.
His Acts Pronounced
Unconstitutional,
The Hawaiian Episode One
Especially in Point.
The President and Heads of the De-
partmerits Should Rigldly OBJ
serve the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-[ Associated
Press. lin the senate Senator Chand-
ler spoke in favor Of the adoption OF his
resolution calling for information as to
the commission investigating the New
York custom house. Senator Chandler
sharply criticised President Cleveland
for appointing the commission as un-
constitutional and said that he was
given too much to disregarding the
provisions of the expressed law and to
the law unto himself.
Referring to the presidents recent
letter to Governor Norton, Senator
Chandler said that there was a singu-
lar resemblance in the tone between
the letters of the president and those
of the emperor of Germany. Coming
to the Hawaiian episode he read from a
letter of the president to the provis-
ional government of Hawaii, the sem
tence, ''May God have your excellency.
in his wide keeping"
"What benifcence of royalty there is
about that extension of good wishes of
His Majesty the president of the
United States," said Senator Chandler;
through his personal commissioner,
Blount, who was paramount in au-
thority to the provisional government
of the Hawaiian Islands. TIE senator
said the appointment of Mr.. Blount
was more gross violation OF the con-
stitution than had oc cured in the ap-
pointment of officials in a hundred
years. It was time the president and
heads of departments should be brought
to rigid observance OF the constitu-
ton. The resolution was then agreed
to.
The repeal was laid before the senate.
Senator PETER spoke against it.
Many silver men are not favorably
impressed with the proposition of the
enemies of silver to compromise. They
especially object to the proposal to is
sue two hundred millions of bonds to
build up gold reserve. This proba bly,
will have to be modified. Many also
think the proposition to purchase two
hundred millions in silver too small
and are inclined to take the chances of
defeating the repeal rather than to
submit to it. 1t is understood that
further efforts will be made to reach a
compromise and mauy senators speak
hopefully of reaching result on some

In Sixty Years Ago.

just Such Clothes as They Were MArrted
In sixty Years Ago.
A year ago last spring, says Scran.
ton (Pa.) correspondent Of the New
York Sun, Mrs. Henry B. Shetland, OF
Gibson township, Susquehanna county,
said to her husband: Henry, we
ought to raise some fax this year"
The aged farmer hadn't raised crop
Of fax in thirty-nine years, so he
asked: "What for, Elizabeth" "Well,
you know, Henry" replied the good
old wife, ''if we live till year from
June we'll have been married sixty
years, and thought it would be nice
to give party then and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
ing we wore when we stood mp to be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old flax tools
stored away, and if you'll raise some
fax. Henry, I'll spin and weave it and
make a nice homemade suit for each
of u.s." ...
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and
his wife eighty-five at the time. Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for moment he exclaimed: "By
George, Elizabeth, I'll do it,"
A few days afterward the old farmer
prepared piece of rich ground back
Of the barn and sowed patch of fax.
The aged couple watched its growth
every day with anxiety The crop was
excellent and when it had got ripe in
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered it,
beat the seeds from the tops, and
spread the straw on the grass to rot.
In November he tied it up in bundles
and packed it away in the barn.
On beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the fax
and stood it up along the south side of
the barn. The wind was in the north
and in day or so the fax was as dry
as bone. Then the old farmer broke
it, swingled it, and turned it over t.
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the kitch-
en- and hatcheled the fax till all the
tow was separated from it. The next
day she got the old spinning-wheel
from the garnet, oiled it up. and began
to make it buzz unsteady. Farmer
Shetland came in smiling and happy
while his wife was spinning.
'I'd rather hear that wheel than
piano, Elizabeth" he said. ''It is like
old times"
$50 it does, Henry. But can't make
the wheel go as fast as used to-"
In few days the old lady had spun
all the flax and. reeled it into skeins.
The next thing she did was to boil the
skeins in weak I've of wood ashes to
bleach the yarn, and when that was
done Farmer Shetland riDsed the
skeins in the brook till all the lye was
out. Mrs. Shetland began at once to
weave the yarn in the old loom, and by
June she had woven it all into cloth.
Within three weeks the old lady
cut and made frock and apron for
herself and whole suit for her hus-
band, and June 20 last the aged couple,
dressed in their hoInespun linen gar
ments, celebrated the sixtieth ami
versary of their marriage in a COM
pany OF three-score relatives and
friends

Big jackson is dead, and as q result
the heart Of King McManus is bowed
down beneath the weight of unutter-
able woe, jackson was only a big,
shaggy, black bear, but he was hale
fellow in his way, and there was not
man In all the Potrero who could cope
with him when it came to drinking
whisky, says the San Francisco Ex-
nminer. He could drink from morning
till night, go rolling to his bed in the
corner OF the yard, and get up in the
morning fresh as ever. From his youth
he was rollicking blade, with q good
dash of the Bohemian in his makeup,
and early in life he started to travel
the pace that kills. His friends had
foreseen for long time that there
could be but one end to it all, and
when Jackson succumbed to the grim
destroyer they shook their heads know
ingly and said with one accord: 81
told you So"
Sunstroke was the immediate cause
Of his death, but alcoholism reared its
hideous head behind it all. Dissipa-
tion had Slapped the strength of a once
robust constitution, and the other day
came the end. As usual, jackson was
in his cups. During the forenoon he
poured whisky into his stomach in lib
eral quantities, and the consequence
was that by the noon hour he was very
drunk. Then he became ugly and
t,x~ic IL rhay
drinking, and he was thrust out in
the small back yard to sleep off the eff
fects OF his rotations. The day was
hot and Jackson's blood was afire
from whisky. He lay in the sun for
some time in drunken stupor, and
when evening came he was dead, Sun
stroke, the doctor said, and his life
must have gone out hours before they
found him.
When it was found that jackson was
dead, King McManus was sent for. He
had been the latter's favorite for years,
and it was deemed fitting that the
monarch OF Potrero should be given
the opportunity to show the last honors
to his pet.
4'Give him the best send-of you can,
boys" was the kings admonition, and
don't spare any expense. Jackson was
thoroughbred, and nothing is too
good for him. Send the bill to me-"
And so McManus' followers gathered
In to attend The rites. There was a
wake such as only the Potrero order
knows, and when it was all over the
body of jackson was laid to rest in
grave dug for him on the top of Irish
hill, overlooking the scene Of many a
jolly carousal. Nor was there any lack
Of mourners. jackson had made host
Of friends in his dissipated career, and
they stood about his graveside to do
him such honor as they could.
"We planted him just like human
being" said one sympathizer "And
why shouldn't we? He wasn't the best
bear in the world, for he drank like
fish and was often cross and abusive,
but he meant well, and never played it
low on o friend in need"
