Five Men in a Boat Upset in Mission
Ray.

Another narrow escape from death in
Mission Bay was reported late last light
Five young men from B0tchrrtown started
for trip to Hunters Point in a whitehall
boat, and when off Shag Rock were upset
strong flood tide was running at the
time, and The struggling men were drifted
cut toward the center of the bay.
Luckily all but one of them were good
swimmers, and managed 10 keep their
comrade, WHO was not able 10 swim,
afioai.
After struggle of fifteen minutes
durati n the upturned boat was reached.
All five clung to her keel and sgnaled to
shore or h elp. Their cries and festrula-
tions were noticed by party of fishermen,
who put IF to the rescue and took the
boat-wrerked nrn on board, landing them
safely at the Potreio o.
Several contradictory rnmors regarding
the party of six that left Third street for
sail in Mission Bay on Sunday morning
we're circulated last evening. but up 20
o'clock this morning nothing had been
heard from the party.
1t was reported that the steamer Mount
Eden had seen the missing piunger and
her occupants stranded on the mud banks
near B ,dpn. but this story was dscredited
by William Lenihan. a cousin of one of
the absent men.

MUCH RATHER DIE.
Zip Preferred Death to
Life in China.
An Imported fiighbinder Tried to
Kill Himself Because He Was
Refused Landing.

Zip Lum, a member OF the Chinese high
binder society of Suey On Tong, tried to
commit suicide on the steamer Oceanic
yesterday afternoon, just before the vessel
lett The Pacific Mail dock, by hanging
himself to beam in the Chinese steerage.
Yip committed the rash act because of
his inability to land as his society assured
him he would be able to do when he left
the ORIENT
he watched till the last minute, hoping
that a writ of haUeas corpus would come
to his rescue, but the papers not arriving
he secured piece of rops from one of the
Chinese sailors IF the Oceanic, fastened it
to beam behind a partition and pro-
ceeded TO slowly strangle himself to death.
One of the steamers quarternasterS hap
pened to notice the celestial's strange ac-
lions and caught him in the act of self
destruction.
Zip was imported by the society named
to join The highbInder clans of Chinatown,
TO help DO away with obnoxious Mongols
who oppose the organization here.
He worked his way to San Francisco as
fireman on the Oceanic. On reaching
this city efforts were made by his friends

COOPERATIVE HOMES.
Mr.. Stead's Idea of Uniting the
Abodes of Spinsters and Bachelors.


The creation of cooperative homes for
bachelors and cooperative homes for
sninsters in London has been followed by
such brisk demand for the advantages
these establishments offer that their sue
cess is assured. And now Mr.. Stead, with
his habitual courage, comes forward with
the original idea that the bachelors and
spinSters should combine their house
keeping arrangements. Instead of the
modern m0uasteries ard nunneries, such as
Tuynbee Hall and Chimes-strert Cham
bers, or in addition to them. Mr. Stead
recommends hOmrS where families of
young persons OF both sexes might live to-
gether always, with an experienced lady
housekeeper at the head or perhaps a
married couple with not more than one or
two children. There should be common
dining and drawing rooms, bnt each lem
ant shonld have his or her private room or
rooms. And he adds that Mrs. Grundy
would have no more reason to be shock ed
at his "Co-aperative Homes for the I'm
married" than she now has at the ordinary
ng-hOuse-which Is true enough.
The idea is that unmarried professional
men and women see TOO little of each other
i'll the relations of ordinary friendly inter-
course. The boys are sent TO one school,
the girls 10 another; the literary men have
their Authors Club. the women their
Writers Club; among the artists the men
have their societies; the English women
artists have none as yet. Men are the heirs
to the ideas of all the ages in most profess
sions, while socially men are more adyan-
tage0usly placed than women. II Is not
q caravanSafy. but rather community y
which Mr.. Stead recommends. The diff
Guilty will be in the selection Of groups
whose tastes are congenial among the
thousands of minated persons of, both
sexes who live in houses. For
though Mr.. Stead says that "the most ag-
gravating of human beings is less awful
than solitude" few people will agree with
him who have endured the enforced CON-
anionshp OF an uncongenial soul,
