BUSINESS IN SAN DIEGO.
The Town Is Preparing for a Boom
This Year.

Fl. A. Howard has just come up from San
Diego and is stopping at the Palace Hotel.
In speaking of that place yesterday he
told CALL reporter that within the past
sixty days a wonderful change had taken
place. and that it might resume its former
prosperity within the year.
"The Phoenix Railroad. OF which great
deal has been said lately." said Mr.. How
ard. sis almost an assured thing, and we
expect to have it completed within the next
eighteen months.
There have been good many railroads
built In and out Of San Diego on paper in
the past few years. but this is not one OF
that kind, as the persons who have taken
hold of it are men of means and have the
support of the entire community.
THE people Of Phoenix are fully as much
interested as we are, as it gives them sea-
port to market their merchandise in, and
have gwen assurance that they will take
care Of their end of The road.
I'VE also have large amount OF capital
coming in lately, and the town is waking
up from its lethargy and putting on an air
OF business.
Many large sales have taken place. and
great many new faces are seen on the
streets"

AN INSURANCE DECISION.
Taken as Beer-Drinker and Died of
DeIirium TremenS.

Providence (R. - Special New YORK Times,
Men who carry life insurance will be in
terested in a decision rendered in the
United States court here to-day by Judge
George NJ Carpen ter. The suit was brought
by Thomas McHsle, administrator of the
estate of Patrick j. McHale, against the
New York Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany. to secure the value Of a $1,000 policy
issued on March g. 1890.
Mr.. McHale died on March ., 1891. When
the policy was Issued the agent of the CON-
pany propouDded to him the usual question
regarding the use of intoxicating liquors.
Mr.. McHale said he had no habit of drink
ing. but took a glass of beer occasionally.
The proof OF death filed at the New York
Office stated that the man died of exhaustion,
The Coroner's report was to the effect
that death was due to delirium tremens.
The company refused to pay the policy on
the ground that Mr. McHale's statement at
the time of its issuance was untrue. The
plaintiff claimed that the deceased was not
an habitual drinker at the time the policy
was Issued, but the Judge would not allow
evidence TO show this to be presented.
lie declared that the statement made to
the company by Mr.. McHale was equivalent
to denial of the use of any intoxieants ex-
cepting beer. Hence he claimed that the
defense had been guilty of false statements,
and he directed the jury to bring in
verdict for the corporation. An appeal was
taken.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
ImpoStors Soliciting Money for Salvs
ton Army Purposes.

lmpoStorS Soliciting Money for Saliva
ton Army Purposes.
Staff Captain Milsaps was seen at the
Salvation Army headquarters by CALL
reporter yesterday as to the charge that
there were some OF the biggest frauds and
Fascals in the army who were not only
hindrance to the work, but a perfect nui-
sance.
There is some misunderstanding" said
the staff captain. There are no frauds or
rascals in the army We are very careful
on that point.
but there are frauds and rascals who
represent themselves as belonging to the
army. They have by some means obtained
the army uniform and are going about
among well-known philanthropists obtain
ing money for our food and shelter Life
boat station.
THE fact that this was being done only
came 10 our knowledge recently, and we
want to warn the public against them.
There Is only one authorized solicitor for
subscriptions to the 'Lifeboat' staton-Miss
Locke. All others are lmpostors.
We suppose they got the uniforms at our
clothing department. Those wearing the
uniform are not, as rule, looked upon
with too much favor by certain classes of
the citizens. and we never imagined that
any one would care to wear it unless they
belonged to the army and had the army's
welfare at heart Therefore our store
keeper has been giving out clothing to any
one who wanted il.
I'm future, however. clothing will be sup
piled only to those vino present an order
from their captain.
Every Salvationist is presumed to carry
with them their certificate or pass, and the
public should insist upon the production OF
this certificate by any one applying for aid
for the army's objects. Unfortunately the
scarlet jersey seems TO have been a suffi-
cient pass port for these rascals, who have
been obtaining money for our 'Liieboat'
station.
1--WE do not know how many Of these
frauds there are, but one OF our soldiers
the other night passed a couple of men on
the street in the army uniform who were
cursing and swearing at each other, and
they certainly were not members of the
army.
IF we can find out who these men are we
will make an example of them.
The 'Lifeboat station is doing a great
deal OF good for the deserving poor. We
are bothered with bummers and Ioafers. but
the officer In charge Is getting on to them
and Will soon know every one of them
"0ur workshop at 2l0 Grant avenue is
also doing much good. I'VE have about
twenty men there now making mats and
will soon have work for others in making
cork pillows and lfe-preservers.
There are great many wealthy men in
the city who literally support the army in
its efforts to help the deserving poor, aud it
is shame thatthey should be imposed upon
by such rascals and frauds as l have re-
fprrpd IN ~

Language of the Thumb.
New York Tribune.


Two men got into an argument the other
day over the expansion OF steam in cyIin-
der. Why" saii one, you don't know
anything about machinery and the pTin-
eiples OF mechanics. Your thumbs are
not shaped right" he then went ON to
explain that a man with long. thin thumbs
did not have a mechanical turn, while those
with thick thumbs, broad at the ends. were
natural-bOrn machnists 81 never believed
in physiognomy," he said, but / do be-
lieve in thumbs. Now, thumbs have been
appreciated ever since the world began.
The ancients used TO call the thumb the
other hand. BaTbarous kings used to swear
and make cOmpacts by their thumbs. In
Rome Ii was a sign Of favor to wiring and
kiss the thumb. and Of disfav0r and dis
grace to lift them up or turn them outward.
A man who was hurt in his thumbs was ex-
cused from serving in the Roman wars.
Some Of the scoundrelly citizens used to cut
off their thumbs 50 as to remain home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs 0h,ihe thumb

When Franklin Was a Postmaster.

New York club Is TO celebrate the BIRTH
day of franklin by discussing his works.
not as diplomatist or philosopher. as is
usual, but as a Postmaster. The Colonial
Postoffice passed into the hands of Frank
lin in 1853, and 1t was his boast when he
was put out of Office in 1874 that that branch
OF the public service. which, till he assumed
It's charge, had never paid one penny to the
King, yielded in his day more than three
times the income OF the Irish Postoffice.
When the revolutionary struggle broke out
Franklin was again installed at the head Of
the Postofiice. and was given authority TO
establish line of posts from Falmouth in
New England to Savannah in Georgia, with
as many crossposts as should In his judg-
ment be thought necessary. Massachusetts,
had in the meantime set up n number OF
Offices of its own, running as far north as
Georgetown In Maine and south to Fall
mouth, where they INJECTED with the Con-
gTessiOnal system. Such was the beginning
Of that branch Of the public service.

THIRTY MILES AN HOUR.
A 5S-Foot Yacht With a Wonderful
Engine Under Construction.


C. D. MOsher, the designer Of the fast craft
Norwood and other triumphs in the line OF
steam yachts and launches, is now cOmplet-
ing a world-be beaten. 1t is a 78-foot boat, wi th
feet inches beam, and it will greatly dis
appoint him If il does not exceed thirty
miles an hour. The designs Of boat. engine
and boiler are all Mr.. MosheT's personal
work, and certain novel details OF the boiler
and engine are covered by his patents.
The engine IS declared to be marvel OF
Iightness combined with power in compact
form. II has just been completed by Ly
sander Wright of Newark, and has been
tried in his shop. 1t is Of the quadruple
compound type, with cylinders IN straight
line, supported over an elliptical base Of
cast and wrought iron by means Of slender
steel vertical pillars. each pair OF which
are braced with stTainng rods ia the form
of an Y split down Though the point of
crossing. and provided with screw by
which the braces can be strained until all
raeking is obviatei. The stroke Of the
engine is 10 inches. and the cylinders are
respectively 81. 1874, is and a inches in
diameter. Every ounce Of superfuOus
metal has been removed from the castings
forming the cylinders, and they are hand
sOmely iacketed with sheet Erass.
Ii is estimated that the complete engine
will weigh less than 5000 pounds, and that at
a speed Of 900 to 600 revolutions il will de-
yelop from 500 TO 600 horsepower, with
steam pressure of $50 pounds. 1t is said to
be the lightest engine of its capacity in the
world. To insure the minimum of weight
with the maximum Of strength all Of the
working parts have been reduced to the
smallest practicable dimensions, or are re-
lieved of supeTfuOus metal al the center by
boring. The rock shafts have one-inch holes
through them. The piston and connecting
rods are hollow. and the big crank shaft has
been bored out wherever 4 tool could be used
upon it. This shaft was carved GU. Of solid
steel forging weighing 20l2 pounds. ltnow
weighs Ala pounds and is hands ONE piece
of work. The crank heads and should ers
are gracefully rounded. 1t required six
months of steady work to make this shaft
and over eight months in all TO build the
engine. When set up it will occupy less
than IL square feet OF floor space.
The boiler is under construction at the
Hewes u Phillips Iron Works on the Pas
sale, in Newark. Ii is n pipe-bo of pecu-
liar construction and is built with view Of
standing great pressure, occupying little
space and steaming rapidly. When the
Passaie River opens the boat will be lowed
to the Hewes & Phillips wharf and then fit
ted with boiler and engine.

A Famous School for Girls.
New YORK sun.


The Scuela Professional, the great
school for girls in Rome. which is recog-
nZed by the Queen and the municipality

by a woman, Siguora Ribighini. The cur
riculum includes sewing by hand and by
machine. dressmaking, the mending of all
fabrics, embroidery In gold and silver and
silk, stockng-weaving, artificial flower
making, washing, ironing and cooking In

lectual arts by the regulation that girls who
take the course in mending must take also

stand the designs of fabrics Geometry is also
considered an essential in embroidery.
But. besides these feminine arts, there are
courses in moral and civil law, in domestic
and commercial mathematics and business
forms. including instruction in modern
languages. In the dressmaking classes
gowns and costumes are made for
the Queen and the ladies' of the
court. The course In artificial flower max
ing begins with drawing and copying
from nature, and in the preparation for
the mending of laces the making of Point
Venise and Gothic point is mastered. The
secrets of ancient tints and col0rs are dis
covered by patient experiment. the beauty
of old designs. frayed and faded. are repro
duced, and lost arts are regained and SUP
plemented with new industries by the SOO
pupils and their numerous teachers.

THE LAUGH SAVED HIM.
How Jefferson c. Prentice Escaped the
Grim DESTROYER.

Jefferson c. Prentice, or Jeff. as his many
friends love to designate him, manipulates
a key in the Western Union Telegraph Of
fee and dsposes of his spare time in invent
ing mechanical appliances and making
merry with his comrades.
Not long since too close application to
certain line Of effort threw jeff into a con-
fiict with that grim destroyer, Death, and
the call was close one. SO close was 1t, In
fact. that a physician had pronounced his
case hopeless, ana at the time referred to he
had been given but few minutes IN which
to live.
Dying in bed. with the doctor feeling his
fast reredng pulse, Jeff was just conscious
of his surroundings, and realized that IN q
few short minutes he was to cross the dark
river.
At this juncture the bedroom door opened
to admit one Of Jeff's friends, commercial
traveller. The newcomer had just got IN
from off the road, and, hearing of his
friends Illness, fastened to his side TO ad-
minister comfort in the shape OF big
drink of a first-class article. AS he came
across the room the doctor, with wave OF
the hand. admonisbed quiet and whispered
that the sick man was dying
The doctor returned to the bedside, and
the drummer, following. leaned over nim
and. looking down at jeff with glance OF
pity. pr0ffered the bottle, which the medlco
pushed aside. The drummer unused mo-
ment aud. with eer OF scrutiny at the
sick man, unburdened himself with:
70 -, doctor. you can't Kill that -
- with an AK"
Up TO that moment Jeff was just conscious
that some one had come into the room and
was bending over him, but upon hearing
the words he recognized his friend, and the
righteousness OF the situation dawning
upon him he burst into an uncomfortable
tit of laughter. which lasted until the agi-
tated medico had put the intruder out OF
the room. Fearing that the sudden shock
and the disturbance would cause bis
patients immediate end, lie few about to
prepare a sedatiye dose, but when ready 10
administer it found the sick man in pro-
found sleep, the outburst OF mlrth having
brought about the requisite reaction SO nee
essary to produce slumber. a luxury jeff
had not enjoyed for long period. The
doctor was greatly surprised at his patients
rapid recovery and confessed that the laugh
ing brought IL about.
JEFF never fails to tell the story with
great gusto, and he swears eternal friend
ship for the drummer. insisting that 10
him be owes his life. The drummer bears
his honors easily and always knows where

The Swell and Skipping
Rope.
NUMBER TWENTY-ONE.

A swell came down U'Farrel street the
other day. and wish you could have seen
him.
He wore an English top coat that hung
down straight from his shoulders and
didn't touch his body on either side. His
trousers were creased until they looked like
boards.
The patent-leather Butchers shone like
mirrors, and reflected the glory of The set
ting sun.
His narrow brimmed silk hat was the
quinIesscence of elegance. He wore
white chrysanthemum for boutonniere
AS he walked along he grasped his
shepherd-crook stick close up by The ferule
and held it out before him.
He looked the very pink OF immaculate
insnity, but in the light OF sudden de-
yelopment showed himself an athlete Of no
mean pretensons, and jolly good fellow
in the bargain.
just above the crossing of Leavenworth
street three little girls were jumping rope.
One stood close by the side of the house
and the other on the curbstone, and these
two turned the rope vigorously while the
third stood In the center and jumped it as
nmbIy as bird
The sport WAS at Its height as the swell
came up. He conldu't pass. for the children
patiently for the first fervor of the game to
subside.
The little girls observed, In the course of
time, that sOme one was watching, and
paused just to see who il was.
"Oh what pretty manp' cried one rap
turously; lets let him play. too. Wouldn't
you like 10 jump rope Y'-this 10 the swell
very wInningly.
mo, thank you." he answered pleasantly.
II don't believe | could. Besides | should
be ashamed to try when you do it so we'll
yourselves"
The little girls murmured q depreciation
OF their own cleverness. and gathered about
the swell urging him to TRY Just once, and
they wouldn't turn fast"
The flushed faces were so charming and
the bright eyes so winning that the swell
looked sharply up and down the street and
seeing no one he knew handed a little girl
his stick with the caution not to drop it.
and stepped out TO try bout with the rope.
Cautiously at first and then gradually
faster, the mischieyOus youngsters turned
until the swell grabbed his beautiful hat to
save it and abandoned himself to the sport
Fasterp he shouted. I" Pc pper and
Sa!t!' And the little ones toiled In widest
glee.
The top coat tapped like a sail and the
Don't stop, dou't stopw But the children
were laughing and had to desst from very
exhaustion.
The swelPs trousers were sh ockingly
bagged at the knees and his chrysanlhemum
was lying in the gutter.
Il will thank you for that STICK" he said.
as he finished a rueful survey of his toilet.
Then he shook each little girl by the
hand and. though they begged him not TO
20. raised his hat politely and said, ~ en-
Joyed the jump immensely; your turning
was superb Perhaps some other time /
will try IL again"
Then he slipped his hand down his stick
until lt reached the ferule-and so passed
on to the crossing. c. f. HOWELL.
