DEAD ON THE SAND.
A Mans Body Found Under Bushes
in the Dark

Late last evening the Coroner's office
was informed by Policeman Thompson OF
the Golden Gate Park police that the dead
body Of q man had been found under some
bushes out in the sand hills beyond Straw
berry Hill. Nothing is known of the iden-
tity of the deceased.
Th0mpson's informant was q French
man, who seemed to be in great hurry TO
get into town. He did not examine the
remains very closely aud could not tell the
cause OF death beyond giving his opinion
that it looked like a case of suicide.
He was asked to wait until the Morgue
wagon would come for the body, which
would be in less tDau an hour. The police
man explained il would be necessary for
hm to remain in order to find the dead
man. This appeared TO be o affair of the
strangers, who replied that he could not
wait but could come at s 80 A. NJ. to-day
and direct the Coroner's deputies.
He came into town after giving a very
haZy idea of the location of the body.
Park policemen made a search later. but
failed TO find anything. and as no definite
directions could be obtained at the MOrgue
the wagon did not 60 out last night.

TRAMP TRAVELLERS
Railroads May Ask Relief
From Congress.
News Among the Street Railways.
The ShiveIy Case Again Post
poned-TraveI Westward.

A gentleman who is pretty familiar with
the affairs of the Southern Pacific Com
pany said yesterday that the officials of
that company had determined to petition
Congress to pass law prohibiting tramps
or other impecunious persons from riding
on railroad cars without first purchasing a
ticket or paying fare. Similar laws are
said to be In effect in some of the Euro
pean countries and to be very affective.
The Southern Pacific Company has never
had so much trouble with this class Of un-
welcome travellers as it has encountered
during the past few months, and has been
unable to devise any means to even par
TALLY remedy the evil. 1t is claimed that
such move would readily meet with the
support of all the railroads in the country.
as all are more or less affected by the same
trouble.
The Atlantic and Pacific road, in CON-
mon with all the other lines running to
this coast, is doing tremendous west
bound passenger business at present. For
the three weeks from November to No.
vember Il that road carried fraction less
than 100 more people than it did during
the same period last year. MIR. Blssell. the
general agent here, says the road IS doing
very little eastbOund business. but all
other roads entering the State report the
same condition Of affairs.
The contract which the Wells-Fargo
company has made with the Southern
racine cost neat sum, as BY its provisions
the express company transfers to the rail-
road 81, 1900 In stock and pays 1,725.-
000 in cash. The terms of the paper also
stipnlate that the express company named
shall have the exclusive right to do busi-
ness OF that character on all the lines Of
railroad comprised in the Southern Pacific
system. Vice-Pr, sident Croker said yes
teroay that at no time has there been any
discussion of giving the contract to any
other COMPANY. The contract dates from
January l. 1894. and extends twenty-one
years. Besides the bonus mentioned the
express company will add 40 per cent OF its
gross receipts on the lines of the Southern
Pacific Company.
Transfers are now issued from the Po-
trero and Bay View line to either the
Fourth or Fifth street lines. instead Of to
the latter only. as formerly.
ID. T.. Huntington said yesterday that
the material had been largely purchased
Tor the construction of the Church and
Fillmore street cable roads, and that the
road would not only be built. but would
be built within the time allowed by the
franchise. which will be June 3 next.

Golden Gate kindergarten Receives
the Exposition Award.

The president of the Golden Gate KIM

Cooper, has received an official letter from
the director-general of the Colum bian Ex-
position. George r. Davis, and the chair
man of awards. John Boyd Thacker, stat
Ing that an award had been made to the
exhibit of the Golden Gate kindergarten
Association, in the California building, at
Chicago. This elaborate and artistic ex-
hihit received many high encomiums from
the press throughout the country, and at
tracted much attention from educators
from all parts of the world. This exhibit
con Dslsted of large books of work prepared
by the little children of the kinder artens :;
the photographs of over 5000 of these chill
oren, taken in groups. the different ma
tlonalities being strongly brought out, in-
cluding the American. Irish, Spanish,
Italian, Scandinavian and African races.
Children possessing striking character
istics were taken separately. Ii was con-
stantly remarked by visitors who saw
these pictures that California children
some children. All the different schools
were taken and lettered. Miss Marta
Philip, an artist of repute, worked con
amore for several months to secure these
ideal groupings. Two exquisite circular
charts, very large in size, designed by Miss
AuUd NJ. OtOfdlls tHC
evoked much admiration from art critics.
One, "The Love Chart" illustrated the
mother love. beginning with the animal
creation and rising to It's highest develop
ment in human life.
The other. "The Time Chart" represent
ed the divisions of time for daily work and
rest, unfolding into weeks, months and
years, showing the various seasons in their
course. All these were beautifully illu-
mined by Miss Helen L. Bacon. teacher
of the Golden Gate Association, whose fine
talent is we'll known in San Francisco. In
addition to all these. there were thousands
of reports of the association. Worlds
Fair edition, and like number of sym-
metricai outlines of development and
training, prepared by Professor McGrew,
all Of which were scattered broadcast,
through the eager hands of visitors, all
over he world. Life-size portraits of Lee
land Stanford Jr. and Lester Norris, to-
getter with the interiors of the kinder
gartens, constituted all In all one of the
most interesting and attractive kinder
garten exhibits of the great exposition. The
award was well deserved and justly be-

A Line of Railroad to
Geyser Springs.
The Surveys Have Been Made and
Construction Will Soon Be
Commenced.

For the last six weeks an engineers
party has been at work surveying line
of railroad that will run from Cloverdale
to Geyser Springs. 1t finished the work
last Wednesday and returned to the city.
Several members of the party are now at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel. and say the work
has been very hard on them, because the
country through which the road will pass
is of the toughest nature possible.
The road will commence at Cloverdale
and go through a canyon most OF the way,
gradually climbing higher until the springs
are reached. 1t win twist and turn and
grand scenery will be always in view Of
the traveller during the entire distance,
which is about thirty miles. After leav-
ing Cloverdale the country Is compare
lively fiat for a few miles, but the lines
suddenly curves when there are rocks and
powders on all sides.
The work of surveying was ordered to
be pushed as rapidly as possible and the
understanding is that work on the con-
structon OF the road is tu be commenced
as soon as the surveys are approved. 1t
seems to be the intention of the builders to
have the road finished by the beginning o
summer, so that people who wish to visit
the Geysers will be able to do so without
the long stage that has heretofore been
necessary. and has. no doubt, kept many
people from going who otherwise would
have done so.
The road will be difficult to build as
there Is considerable blasting to do, and a
large number of men will be necessary if
the work has to be finished within the
next six months.
