SUDDEN DEATH OF RALPH ELLIS,
He Came Here for Treatment, but Died
on His Arrival.

he came Here for Treatment, but Died
on His Arrival.
Ralph Ellis, business manager of the
Woodland Mail, died suddenly at the
Hughes House, 14Third street, yesterday.
He had been ill for long time with
catarrhal iaundice, and had been treated
for that disease in Woodland. He grew
worse, and came to San Francisco, but be-
fore he could undergo any treatment he
died.
AS no physician had been in attendance
on him, the matter was reported to the
Morgue. Coroner Hawkins investigated
the matter, and came to the conclusion
that an inquest was not necessary. The
body was removed to the undertaking
parlors, where it was prepared for removal
to Woodland for interment.
Mr.. Ellis was well known throughout
Yolo County, and had a great number of
warm personal friends. Under his manage
ment the Mail has grown to be power in
the district, and his business tact and
ability will be very much missed on the
paper. His son was with him when he
died, and he saw to all the funeral

A RACE AGAINST FIRE,
Inc Bark Brunel'S Narrow
Escape While Rounding
Cape Horn.
CARGO A sMOLDERING MASS.
Captain Frampton and the Crew
Rewarded for Their Bravery on
That Occasion.

Five days on fire, race around the Horn
to Port Stanley, sunk to the scuppers in
order to drown the fire, and 1000 tons of
smoldering coal thrown into the bay be-
fore all danger was past are features of the
record of the British bark Brunei during
her last voyage.
The vessel arrived last Monday from
Newcastle. N. S. W., after remarkably
fine passage of sixty days, beating the
Crocodile seventy-two days and the Mar
pesia sixty-nine days, while the Criccieth
IS days, Glenbreck II days, Stanmore 81
days and Scottish Moors 81 days are still
anxiously looked for. When Captain
FramPton opened his mail this morning he

WAR OVER THE BEER-M|UG,
Troop A Prefers Charges
Against the Athletes of
Battery F.
The CaValrymen Claim the Trophy
Because Professionals Ran In
the Games.

The athletic competition the other day
between Troop A and Battery T of the
Second Artillery, two National Guard
organizations, has precipitated merry
rumpus instead of engendering the gentle
thoughts and social harmony for which it
was intended. The massive German beer
mug, which Major Follis offered as prize,
will not flow with the lager of triumph
just yet. Until yesterday the supremacy
of Battery f on the field and track was
conceded by the troopers. From all APP
pearances the contest at the Olympic Club
grounds on last Sunday had been fairly
won by the artillerymen, and preparations
were under way for a social affair, at which
the porcelain prize might be appropriately
presented.
The presentation will not come off for a
while, however. The troopers have charged
that two of the artillerymen are profess
sional athletes and, consequently, should
have taken no part In an affair intended
only for amateurs. One of these men is
Moore, who won the 100 and go yard
dashes. 1t is claimed that Moore has been
a professional baseball player and partici-
pated in the old Northwestern and South
ern League several years ago. For this
reason the members of Troop A propose to
have the decision reversed wherever Moore
was winner. This action will affect the
result to the material extent of making
Troop A the victorious company instead of
Battery F.
The cavalrymen are already in commu-
nication with the Pacific branch OF the
Amateur Athletic Union which sane
TONED the contest. A number of Olym-
plans have been asked to try to remem-
Der something about Moore's athletic ca
reer. Captain Slime of Troop A will enter
formal protest to-day. Meanwhile both
companies are busy preparing inches in
their respective quarters to receive the

A BOGUS WINE MAN.
Sanrio Josepha Arrested for Obtainin,
Money by False Pretenses.

Sanrio Josepha was arrested at the
Palace Hotel at an early hour yesterday
morning by Detective Anthony and Con-
stable Corey of Santa Cruz on Justices
warrant charging him with obtaining
money and goods by false pretenses.
Josepha arrived in the City three weeks
ago and registered at the Palace. He rep
resented himself as a traveller for big
New York winehouse. On Saturday last
he went to Santa Cruz and purchased 1900
gallons of wine from G. H. Bernheim &
Co. and ordered it shipped East.
He explained to Mr.. Bernheim that he
was short of funds and asked him to honor
draft for $50 on the New York house.
The money was handed over to him. On
Monday Mr.. Bernheim ascertained that
the winehouse was defunct and he at once
swore out the warrant for Josepha's
arrest. He was taken to Santa Cruz by
Constable Corey yesterday.

A well-known fashionable Chest
nut.street tailor declares, as the
result OF many years observation,
that but one man in 100 has
square shoulders; that is, should
ers OF an equal height. When
Buffalo Bill, whose magnificent
physique has been the admiration
of two hemispheres, was last in
this city he was measured for
suit of clothing in this sartorial
establishment. and when the
many mysterious figures had
been called off, the craftsman
cried out to the clerk: Low left
shoulder Colonel Cody indig-
nantly exclaimed: "What's that7
There's nothing the matter with
my shoulders. And it required
considerable argument and meas
uring demonstration to convince
him that his right shoulder was
very considerably higher than the
left, the explanation being found
in the fact that in shooting his
right shoulder is lifted much
higher than its fellow. Travel
ing statesmen are noticsably lower
in the right shoulder, by reason
OF the fact that they are almost
continually c5rrying heavy pack
ages with the right hand. In
fact, nearly all men ure lower in
the right shouldrr, bat a small
majority, especially newspaper
writers and bookkerpers. are low

of the position which they as
