COCOANUT CURIOS.
A Man Who Carves Queer
Heads and Faces.
A NATURAL BORN ARTIST.
How an Ex-Soldier and Hunter
Has Found Way to Fame
and Fortune.
A NATURAL BORN ARTIST

About four months ago there was dis
played In the various places in this city
most unique specimens of the carver's art.
They were faces cut out Of or into. as the
reader pleases, the rough, fbrous shell
which surrounds the cocoanut
The work was rough in execution, but the
ensemble was surprising when second look
was taken at the faces carved In the hull of
the nut. Faces of Kanakas. workmen about
the water front and even well-known
celebrities were reproduced with faithful
ness as TO detail that enabled those who
knew the parties to recognize the "cocoanut
portraits" instantly.
Many inquiries were made as to heartst,
but all that could be learned was that some
one was supplying the cocoanut heads upon
demand, but refused 10 tell who the skillful
carver that supplied their goods was or
where he could be found.
The CALL sent a reporter in search OF
the man aud found him in his modest but
noon.
AT first the carver of coPoanuts was disin-
cined to talk and underyalued his work.
which, by the way, is the only work Of the
kind ever done in the world. so far as is
known.
By-and-by, however. the man began to
talk and his story is quite as interesting as
his work.

as much in the dark regarding the young
mans whereabouts as the day OF bis dis

He went out, as was his custom" said
the lady, ito take 3 short walk in Jefferson
Park after supper, and before going he said
that he thought he would not attend the
L0ring Club concert, as he had thought OF
doing but would return in few minutes
and go to bed. That was the last seen or
heard of him.
Contrary TO statements that have been
made Cohn as not Respondent, and never

He WIS run down from overwork and had
been suffering from insomnia Tor some time.
He came here under the advice OF his ply

There has never been any insanity in
our family" said the grieI-stricken mother,
"and my son never had any trouble that

VARSITY SINGERS.
Concert of the California
Glee Club.
THE MUSIC WAS APPLAUDED.
An Entertainment That Was Well
Received by a Fashionable
Audience.

Last night the grand concert OF the Uni
versity of California Glee Club took place
and the college boys turned out en- masse
to applaud the singers.
The concert was given at Odd Fellows
Hall. which was very tastefully decorated
in blue and gold, the colors of the State
University. Many students crossed the bay
to attend the concert. but they went to this
trouble not only to hear the singing but also
to help clear the debt of the club. The
debt was incurred this last winter when the
singers travelled through the southern part
OF the State.
They had not advertised their concerts
enough and the consequence was that they
sang before poor audiences. Their trip left
them in debt TO the amount of $3.50. and
they were much chagrined over it.
But they had a gay time and were enter
tanned royalty wherever they went. They
were at Los Angeles soon after the STAN
ford football team had played there, and
the way IN which they were treated showed
that all interest in the State University had
not been taken away. They gave concerts
at Los Angeles. Nisalia, Bakers field and
Chico, and all those who heard them felt
that their money had been well repaid.
On their return from the south they went
to Sacramento and filled the theater with
the largest rowd it had ever held. There
were about 1900 people present, and all
standing room was taken. This trip light
ened their debt some what, but they still
owe IN the neighboThood OF 500.
The singing OF college songs makes up
one OF The pleasantest of college recreatiOns,

SPOUTS GREEN WATER.
Lolita Fountain Is Throwing Varie
GATED Stream

Lolita Fountain Is Throwing Varie =
gated Stream.
The Lolita fountain is in poor working
order.
For more than month past two of the
faucets have been broken, and the crowd
of thirsty, dusty people that has grown to
aeeustom itself 10 a moments pause at the
public square ard a draught of the Free
flowing water has been jostled and de-
tanned waiting a turn, and often has swept
on past disguised at the shiftless manage
ment of this public trust.
A few moments observing of the thr0ng
at this central spot is sufficient to give some
idea of the extensive use TO which this
fountain is put. Full ly 10000 people drink
at it daily. Newsboys and b0otblacks.
tramps aud fakirs and workmeD, nurse
maids and house servants and their mis-
tresseS. clerks and their employers. There
is no discrimination at the public fount
Each one feels it is somehow his personal
property.
And so when two of the four faucets re-
fused 10 work and the water itself grew
green and muddy, little wonder the people
were OutspOken and denounced the manner
in which the authorities were conducting
their trust.
a plumber came around to it Yesterday
afternoon and hammered away at the pipes
for an hour or two, and ran up fat little
bill OF repairs, but enc faucet is "Of" yet,
and the plumber win have TO call again.
The work Is going slowly on. however.
The water has assumed its natural clear
ness. Perhaps some day soon tile fountain
Will be running clear enough.

TESTING THE HEATERS.
The New Jail to Be Thoroughly In
sDeCted This Morning.

A thorough inspection of the quarters
assigned to the Police Department and the
jail at the new City Hall will be made by
the City Hall Commissioners and Chief
Crowley this morning.
Last night the dungeons and dark prison
corridors looked unusually gloomy and
deserted.
The lower part of the hall resembles a
fortress in state Of siege more than any
thing else.
Heavy iron doors were securely locked
and communication between the jail and
other parts Of the building was entirely
cut of, TO the grea: Inconvenience of the
press representatives and police officers,
especially the latter. who were compelled
20 walk their prisoners around the huge
pile Instead of through the corridors OF the
courtyard as formerly.
The new jail was, however, isolated for a
purpose, and to-day the doors Will again be
thrown open as heretofore.
Mayor Ebert, the Police Commissioners
anC Chief Crowley desired to make a thor
ough test of the steam-heating apparatus
which Is to supply the place with heat.
Win this object In view the furnaces were
kept going all last night. and the doors were
closed so as to retain the warmth furnished
in he Jail and permit the party to judge Of
It's sufficiencY.
Should the inspecting party not be salts
fed with the amount Of heat furnished more
radiators will be placed in position and the
capacity OF the heating plant otherwise
increased.
These preparations indicate that the no
lice headquarters and prisoners now at the
old City Prison viii be transferred 20 the
new City Hall during the next sixty days.
