WALKED AWAY.
An Easy Way Out of the City
Prison.

Prison.
Circumstances have recently developed
showing the necessity of having a place
set apart in the City Prison as hospital
where prisoners suffering from delirium
tremens Or other temporary ailments can
be kept.
On December IA Captain A. johnson
was arrested for running up bills in
saloons and houses of Ill fame and giving
spurious orders in payment on the Alaska
Commercial Company. As he was crazy
from drink when arrested he was taken to
the Receiving Hospital for treatment, and
opposite the entry on the hospital register
was written, Not t. be DISCHARGED. On
the morning of December 1G johnson was
discharged from the hospital. His ease
was called IN No. 8 court some days after
ward, but he did not appear. The police
are again after him.
i later case is that Of !. j. Flanagan,
Sho was arrested on December 81 for
beating his wife. He was also suffering
from delirum tremens and was taken to
the hospital, and a similar note was en-
tered in the register-book. 1t took him
till January 3 20 recover. and then he
walked out of the hospital.
Ch ief Crowley and DIR. SOmers are one
in the opinion that there should De q
sma III hospital in side the City Prison for
such cases.
1T would be nonsense" said the Chief.
''to put men in the Receiving Hospital to
watch these cases. IL would run up big
bill against the city, as the tue would
probably not amount to more than So or
So 1t could only be in cases where the
charge Is trivial that nrison"" could leave
the Receiving Hospital as johnson has
done"

Did IT ever occur to you that in max
ing your purchases in a big house you
always fare better than making them
IN a small store where they handle one
single line of goods /?
In the first place, a big house like
ours, selling four times as much goods
as oil the other houses in town COM
6me6. is offered bigger opportunities
to buy big drives IN merchandise. Al
manufacturers who are anxious to IN
load seek big houses as their outlet
We buy closely and through djViding
the expenses of the entire house INTO
many departments, it affords US the
opportunity of selling goods closer
than small stores.
We have under our roof five distinct
departments. each one of them selling
more goods than all the other houses
in that line of goods combined
TIE people realize this fact and
they're buying of US, not because ne
offer them the largest assortment the
choicest goods, the newest things, but
because frey can save from rs to IS
per cent on every dollars worth of
ooods purchased in our house.
Hence the success and the crowded
uisies in the 6ig store on Kearny street.

A NEW RECEIVER.
One Appointed for the
Oregon Pacific.
Return of the Bark Sea King to
Port - Quick Trip of
the Lucas.

Charles Clark has been appointed re-
ceiver of the Oregon Pacific Railroad al
Corvallis in place of Z. w. Hadley, who
resigned few days ago.
Superintendent Mulcahey is reported as
having gone East, and the business of the
line is not in a shape TO be settled at q
very early date.
The discontinuance of the steamer line
to YaQuina City is quite severe blow to
local mere hants, as Willamette Valley
wheat will now be shipped to Portland,
and naturally purchases will be made al
that city instead of san Francisco.
The breaking OF the foreyard truss and
subsequent loss Of the foreyard Will of
the Columbia River bar caused the bark
before yesterday. The accident occurred
during gale on January 3. when the
vessel was within only go miles of bel
destination, NanaimO. The owners Of the
Sea King are said to be quite indignant
IN at the vessel aid not proceed on her voy-
age instead of sailing back 800 miles to
San Francisco. but the bark's skipper says
that he could not beat up the coast against
the headw1nds and seas without the aid OF
the foresail. The Sea King will sail north
again to-day.
That the brigantine Il. w. Lucas should
TIC iBCOIu vi lOul NAY ;
between this port and Grays UarbOr caused
good deal of a surprise among nautical
men, but she did it, The Lucas arrived
Yesterday morning and went into dock
| almost Immediately.
An effort Will probably be made 10 get
! the creditors OF the Oregon Pacific to buy
the steamer Willamette Valley and run
her TO northern or southern coast ports.
| The vessel Was built by the Cramps at
! 0neSter, "a, ana was formerly named the
Kate Carroll. She was brought around the
I Horn about eight years ago. Her present
value is estimated TO he about Sl25, coo.
The schooner Car cleared for San Bias,
Mexico. yesterday with a cargo of blasting
powder, dynami To and mining machinery.
The ship Louisiana is out 1873 days from
New York to-day with general merchan-
disc for local firms. Some anxiety is felt
for her.
The Southern Pacific Company has as
vet made no move TO pave East street, be
tween curbs, ON each side of its electric
street railroad. The street is in very bad
condition and requires immediate atten-
tim.

FORCING THE SALE
We Must Buy Columbian
Stamps.
The POstoffice Department Wishes
to Get Rid of the Stock of
Pictures on Hand.

The series of Columbian stamps with
which x-PostmasieT-General Wana-
maker thought fitting TO honor the Quadri-
centennial Of the discovery Of America. but
for which business men in general have
found little use, are TO be forced on the
market, and in few weeks the person
who steps up to the stamp-window with
50 and asks for "a sheet of stsmps-small
size. please" will receive 100 copies of
Vanderlyn's Landing of Columbus" and
must take them if he wishes to send any
thing through the mail.
The officials of the Postof1ee depart
ment have the reputation OF never letting
anything be lost, and they now have a
few millions in Mr.. Wanamaker's works
of art that they propose to get rid of. and
if people will not buy them from choice
they must do it from necessity.
When the Columbian series of stamps
was issued the contract was made for a
number equal to about one years sales In
the postOffices of the country. aud it was
the expectation that the supply would be
nearly exhausted at the end of last year
aud the Column blan stamp would 90 out of
business, except as it might serve rs CON-
modify among collectors.
But the public preferred the old stamp
and the opening of the present year found
a large part Of the extra issue still in the
vaults of the Government. IL has accord
iagly been decided to force them out and
PosImRsteTs can order no other kind until
this supply OF posters is exhausted
1.-The stamps Oh hand were appOrtion ed
to all the larger offices of the country"
said Assistant Postmaster Richardson
yesterday, and the total amount on hand
can be estimated when you know that our
share amounts 10 S231. $50 AS long as our
stock of both kinds lasts we will continue
to give customers their choice, but that
will be for only few weeks, and after
that we will have but the one issue until
they are all disposed of.
There has been big demand for full
sets for a few days previous 10 New
Years. as the public imagined that none
could be bought after that time. Never
Theiess the day that the Government ceases
to sell them they will command premium
above their face value. Even now the
larger denominations. after they are can
celed, are worth twO-thirds OF their Origi-
nal value.
1.-The banks which send large sums of
gold and currency through the mails use
the s. stamp and after they have served to
paw the cost Of transportation the banks
sell them for from e3 10 81.
by June ], and perhaps earlier. the
stock will be exhausted and then the peo-
pie who are now buying them simply as
an investment will have an opportunity 10
realize on them"

An Afternoon of Grieg.

The Carr-Beel popular concert. which
will take place in Golden Gate Hall on the
Goth inst, Will not only be the first of the
present season, but will also begin the
third year of concerts given by the same
excellent organization.
The programme of the first concert will
be entirely devoted to Grieg's music.
This fact in itself shows the enterprise OF
the performers, for. though the works OF
the great Norwegian composer are not as
yet very familiar TO San francisco
audiences. his compositions have made
rapid strides in popular favor in Europe
during the last few years.

Bennett was pres- ent at the game, and as he came upon the field on crutches he was given a grand ovation. A strong team of col lege players was opposed to the Bos- tons, and had Sexton pitched the en- tire game the champions would have been defeated.

INTERESTING BOUTS.
Numbers of Sports Witness the Fights at
 Stony Creek.

Numbers of Sports Witness the Fights at Stony Creek.
 Stony Creek, Aug. 27.-The athletic carnival held tonight, under the aus pices of the Welcome Athletic club of New Haven, was very successful from a sporting standpoint, but hardly so from financial one, the guarantee of 25O tickets sold in Stony Creek was not made good, while the management took down twenty-five people as attrac- tions.
 Dan Walker, New Haven, and John McGirr, Bridgeport, gave a very scien- tific exhibition bout of four rounds. It was not for gore, so no decision was given. These men were welterweights. The next bout was between James Ma roney of New Haven and John Bandit of New Haven. Maroney was to have met an unknown of Stony Creek, who did not materialize. Maroney showed up grandly with twenty-five pounds against him, and frequently caused his bulky opponent to collide with the ropes. They boxed three three-minute rounds, and the little fellows sand and science caught the favor of the crowd.
 The next contest was between John Dawson of New York, who is said to have once stood off with the Harlem Coffee Cooler" and Jim Bell of New Haven. All things considered the bout was exceptionally good d,although marred by frequent clinches.
 The next and last contest was a lively five round bout between Roach and Mulvey, both of New Haven, who spared at about 13S pounds. Roach, with the longer reach, seemed to have the best of the bout during the first three rounds, although his opponent kept coming for more. These men stopped smiling after round one, and came to strictly business blows. Roach looked the bigger man and easily proved himself the better for awhile showing decided tendency to mix things" Mulvey, who, by the way, is handsome little fellow, did some clever countering in the fourth, but during the proceeding round he stopped several wicked swings-with his face. He show ed great recuperative powers, and won back his lost laurels in the fifth, doing some very clever work. The popular verdict was that this bout was a stapd-off.
 The announcement was made that the Welcome A. A. was ready to back MT. Dawson against any man in Con- necticut at 14O pounds for $10O side.

ter able to tell the position of the Pul!-
 man company than any tnir'i party. Do you rot think 1t would have been just to have divided with these em-
 ployes little while, so as to give them at least fair living wages?" q do not. It would have amounted to a gift of money to the men. It was
 simply matter of business. The com pany and the men had to make a
 mutual sacrifice"
 MT. Pullman denied any collusion
 with the railroads in order to resist the | strikers.
 Judge Worthington read copy of
 the Pullman lease, which requires the tenants to do all the repairing, and
 provides that in case the tenant does | not make these repairs an amount suf- fcient to do the work shall be deducted
 from his wages, also that his rent can be
 deducted from his wages. When MT.
 Pullman heard all this he declared he
 could not swear to that lease as a Pullman lease.
 T think the American Railway union was the cause of the trouble at Pull
 man," continued the witness. We will
 retain no man in our employ who is a
 member of the American Railway union."
 Were rents reduced when wages
 went down?" asked Judge Wortliing- .on.
 They were not. So little income was coming from rents that we could not afford to reduce them further" MT. Pullman said that the salaries Of the superior officers were not reduced, for in that case they might have left the company.
 Second Vice President Wickes then supplied the details which MT. Pullman n had been unable to give. He said many statements made by the strikers were not true. He submitted table taken from the, books which showed a rate of wages much higher than those sub- mitted by MT. Heathcote, MT. RhoIie and others in these cases. Instead of making money MT. Wickes said the company lost $5OO, 900 monthly. The ex- animation of MT. Wickes will be con- tinued tomorrow.

CORBETT TALKS FIGHT, He Says That Jackson Is Afraid of Him and Will Not Meet Him.

Boston, Aug. 27.-Champion Corbett
 vixen asked to-day How about Jack l son?" said:
 "The Sioux City club has offered a purse of $25,O0O for fight between us.
 Jackson says he wants them to de- pcsit that amount in the bank to show that they are in earnest. They say they will deposit $5, Ooo, which is enough
 to defray the training expenses and show they are in earnest, but Jackson declines to accept this offer, claiming it is not enough money. That amount is l large enough to suit me, and if Jackson would agree to it we would begin now to train for the fight"
 Do you think Jackson really wants 1 to flght?" was asked.
 q have net the least idea that he | would stand up in ring against mo. I He talks in his bluffing way in order to advertise himself and his ti;cs trical troupe. He knows well that it means a 1 fortune tn him if he wins the champion ship by heating me. If he thought he couli !,ck he he would go down south | or anywhere else in minute. Don't you suprosc he would get fair play in | the s.nth? Of course he would. If the crow1 toes not give him fair show eoes no: he stand as much Of show as I do Ia getting the Jit ht from the ref.
 cree, who would bs square man? Suppose :he fight is interfered with and 1t is called "-aw or drr't get a chance to do him up. Won't the fact that he has stood Tn the ring with me without getting knocked out be great card for him for the months that will follow before another match is made? |? The best thing that could happen to him would be a fight in the south. He is afraid of me. He does not want to fight; it is useless for him to think of it. He has seen his best days. know it by comparing his present form with what it was four years ago when fought him the draw. iJe has been de- teriorating since then; I have been getting better" %a Speaking of Bob Fitzsimmons, Cor
 bett said: Steve O'Donnell, my spar ring partner, has s1o,000 to back up his assertion that he can waip Fitzsim- mons to standstill in a finish fight at
 any time and place. Fitzsimmons has not yet done anything to entitle him to my notice. The first tim. that he does anything shall be ready for him, never
 fear. If he should whip o'Donnell then
 would tackle him and give him all the fight he wants"
 Sioux City, Aug. 27.-The Athletic
 club tonight sent two certified cheeks
 of 32,60O each to Peter Jackson and
 James J. Corbett, in care of New
 York paper. Corbett has accepted the
 clubs offer. k If Jackson is satisfied a representative
 will be sent to New York to close all
 preliminaries.

London, Aug. N.-An interview with Howard Gould concerning his plans for the vigilant was published here this af- ternoon. In it MT. Gould is represented as saying that he would not take part in the West Coast races, as the Britain mia would be absent and 1t would be not worth his while to sail against the other yachts.
