Serious Defect in our Educational System.

"A
But one thing more of this same gen.
eral kind is sadly needed. Perhaps
the most serious defect of the system
Of liberal education now prevalent in
this country is its lack of truly pro-
gressive character. 1t is full of fits
and starts. 1t is too disiointed and
fragmentary. This is partly because
there are no settled principles OF
procedure, FIXING the order and
amounts Of the studies; and partly be-
cause there is no power which can Sc
cure teachers that know precisely what
are expected, fitted, and permitted to
teach. The consequence is that the
different years of school life too much
resemble the different successive ses-
sions of our legislatures. Milton
somewhere describes the process of
legislation as matching a lie with the
heat of jurisdiction Fortunately,
the process also consists in killing the
brood of lies already Matched by
previous legislation. Now the process
of education in this country is by no
means so bad in this regard as the pro-
cess of legislation; but in certain re-
spects the former too much resembles
the latter. -Scribner

Tanning an Elephant Hide.

1t weighed about 1920 pounds, says
the St. James Gazette, speaking of tan
ming an elephants hide, and was about
an inch and third thick. After be-
ing put into reservoir of pure water
to green it, it was beaten for one hour
every day with an iron on a large anvil.
After being ten days in pure water it
was left for another ten days in water
with about per cent. of salt. Then it
was replaced in pure water again for
twenty days. During those forty days
it was constantly in soak. The head
and feet, weighing about 500 pounds,
were then removed, and the skin hung
on spikes in the drying room. After
hanging one day it was put in vat
containing potash and small quantity
of sulphur of sodium in the following
proportions: Water, 000parts; slack
ed lime, twenty-five parts; potash,
three parts; sulphur OF sodium, two
parts. After being two days in this
bath it was rinsed in pure water of a
temperature or twenty degrees, Wnen
it was again placed in the drying room.
After this double operation was re-
peated three times the skin was ready
to have the hair taken off. This opera
ton occupied about one days time.
and gave about % pounds Of hair.
Another day was spent in cleaning and
scrapiag. By this time it lost so per
cent of itsweight. The operation of
its preparation lasted two months, and
it went through the same course as
cowhide, with the difference that each
phase of the work took three times as
much time. The skin should be
stretched in the pit, and placed in the
middle of cowhides. Six layers of
powder are then thrown in; two first,
two second. and two third layers. Al
together the tanning takes three years.
The partition of time is thus: Becoming
green, 20 days; worked, 16 days;
preparation, so days; REPETITION, 60
days; first pit (double), 200 days;
second pit (double), 800 days; third
pit (double), 400 days.

In VIRTUE OF His TRUST.
Omitted From the Complaint Against
II. II. Scott.
Judge Campbell Renders Lengthy De.
eision Diminishing the Charge Of
Embezzlement.

When the case of Henry Fl. Scott,
charged with felony embezzlemenu by A.
H. Greenberg, his partner in the coal bust
ness, came up in Judge Campbell's court
last Tuesday, his attorneys, Patrick Reddy
and Barclay Henley, interposed a de-
murrer to the complaint. They alleged
that no public offense was charged in the
complaint under the code inasmuch as it
was not alleged that the moneys said to
have been received and used by the de-
fendant were so received and used Sin vir-
tue of his trust" as secretary or agent of
the corporation. They, therefore, moved
for dismissal.
In view of the Importance of the point
raised, the Judge continued the case till
the following day to give the attorneys an
opportunity of submitting their authori-
ties. The attorneys for the defendant sub
mitted numerous authorities and asked
that the case should be dismissed.
But they were perfectly willing that the
case should go on if the prosecution would
consent to amending the complaint by in
sorting the essential words omitted. VIZ:
that the moneys were received and used by
the defendant in virtue of his trust as sec
rotary or agent.

Two Unknown Bodies Taken to the

The bodies of two unknown men were
taken from the bay yesterday and are now
at the Morgue awaiting Identification.
One of the bodies was found floating off
Pacitic-street wharf in the morning. 1t is
that of man apparently about As years of
age and feet inches in height. He was
dressed in common dark clothes and had,
to Judge from appearances, been labor
ing man. He was heavy set in build and
had dark brown mustache and goatee.
From appearances the body had been in
the water about two weeks. There was
nothing in his pockets except an empty
purse, pair of spectacles and paper of
needles.
The other body had been in the water a
longer time, as it was much decomposed,
especially around the face. 1t was that of
a man who had evidently been in fair cir
cumstances. The clothes were black and
of good material. 1t was found floating
off Harrison-street wharf. In the man s
trousers pocket was found So 80 in silver,
and in his vest pocket was pair of spec
tacles. There were no papers or anything
else about him which would give clew to
his identity. He was man apparently

BONDS MUST BIZ SPECIFIC.
MayOr SutrO Institutes a New and
Rigid Rule.
Sureties on Official Undertakings Must
State Their Possessions and
Occupations.

Mayor Sutro issued a new rule for his
office yesterday which he intends to rigidly
enforce. Hereafter in all cases where
official bonds are offered to the Mayor for
approval he will require that the sureties
shall furnish list of real estate severally
owned, standing clear in their names on
the records and of an assessment value
equal to the amount of the bond, and to
identity themselves by giving their resi-
dences, place of business and occupation.
Heretofore most all bonds have been
very loosely drawn, the simple names of
the sureties being given without any in
formation being stated as to the amount of
property owned, where 1t is situated, how
incumbered or what business the bonds
men followed In order to satisfy himself
as to the sufficiency of the sureties the
MAYORS Office was compelled to labori-
ouslv inquire into these facts, which took
up considerable time, as there are great
Number of bonds filed during each year.
The new rule will apply not only to the
bonds of public officials, but to all who
give bonds for contracts IN which the city
is interested.
Mayor Sutro says the new rule was de-
cided on to expedite business as well as to
protect the municipality. The law on
which the new rule is based is section of
the consolidation act, which provides:
No banker residing or doing business in said
CITY and county, nor any such bankers partner,
clerk, employee, agent, attorney, father, son or
brother shall be received as surety for the
Treasurer, Mayor, Sheriff, Auditor nor any Off

ment of money. No person can be admitted as

AN OLD MANS DARLING.
The Sad Ending of a Young Couples
wedding Tour.

Weo01nS IOuf.
When the ferry boat carrying passengers
from the Sacramento train reached the
Market-street pier last night very small
and very old man walked ashore carrying
in his arms bundle that occasionally gave
unmistakable signs of life. In fact, within
the folds of a blanket and heavy shawl
was a six-months-old girl, the great-grand-
daughter of the patriarch, who carried her
with almost motherly care and solicitude.
The old gentleman was Jose Garcia of
Acapulco, Mex, who is on his way home
with his orphaned great-granddaughter
after an absence of eighteen months spent
in travelling through Europe and the East
ern States.
The story Mr.. Garcia has to tell is sad
one. Eighteen months ago his grand
daughter. Juanita Trevino, was married to
Manuel Flores at Acapulco. AS both
Garcia and Flores were wealthy men, and
Juanita was the idol of her grandfather's
heart and was to be his sole heir, it was
decided to extend the young couples
honeymoon to an indefinite length of time
by travelling through this country and
Europe. They came by way of San Fran
cisco in August, 1898, and went straight to
New York. After few weeks spent in the
principal Eastern cities, they went to Eng
land, thence to France, Spain and Italy.
They fingered for time in Vienna, where
the baby girl was born. Shortly after the
little ones birth Manuel Flores was taken
suddenly i'll and died four days later.

dispose of some fowl. He found it i'm
possible to proceed owing to the mass of
earth which had blocked the road and was
compelled to retrace his way and enter
Oakland from another point.
The road alluded to is the principal
means of communication with numerous
Martinez. a great many milk ranches
border on the road and it is in constant
use.
The county Supervisors have expended
considerable money in the past few years
in keeping it in shape; but in the rainy
season this work was done with difficulty.
The road for miles is cut out of the sides
of the mountains, leaving in many places
steep declivities hundreds of feet high on
the lower side, with towering cliff above
The unusually heavy rains this season
have been washing over these cuts with
great force, and in one place scooped out
about 100000 tons of earth and deposited it
in the roadway. The slide covers an area
of about $50 by 100 feet along the noun
tain side, and as the mountain in this par
ticular space is quite steep it is expected
that more slides will follow.
A queer incident in connection with a
smaller slide is reported. A young man
named Shaw was hunting for squirrels and
took up his station on a small mound that
jutted out from the side of the hill While
standing there he fired at a squirrel, and
in the next instant he found himself rapidly
sliding down the hill. In his downward
flight he lost his gun, and when he extri-
Gated himself from the debris he found
that large slice of the mountain had
given way and shot down the slope for
distance of IS feet. He failed to find his
gun, but he considers that he was lucky to
escape with his life.
The Supervisors of Alameda County
have been notified that the road is in an
impossible condition, and several gangs of
laborers have been dispatched to the scene
of the slide. Pending the work of repair,
which is necessarily slow, the ranchers
who are thus cut off from Communication
with Oakland in that direction are COM
PEELED to make wide detour and enter the
city from the east. The Supervisors ex-
pect further slides unless the rains cease.
In the meantime it will, perhaps, be two
weeks before the damage already inflicted
will have been repaired.

Frank Mcdonald May Return
From Japan.
READY TO FACE THE MUSIC.
Mrs. Mcdonald Leaves Here on a
Secret Mission.
GONE TO REJOIN Her HUSBAND.
A RumOr That the Indicted FOrger Has
Made Arrangements to Return
to This City.

Pacific Bank creditors and People
Home Savings Bank depositors are trying
to find out whether or not Mrs. Frank V.
Mcdonald has gone to Japan for the pur-
pose of bringing her husband who is spend
ing all enforced vacation in the Mikado' s
realm, back to this city.
Mrs. Mcdonald was passenger on the
steamship China, which left this port on
Tuesday. There were few friends present
at the wharf to bid the lady adieu, and
there were none save the employees on the
steamer who were aware that her destina-
ton was Toxic, where her husband is at
present residing.
The story that Frank McDon aid has de-
cided to return and fight the indictments
brought against him for completely in the
Pacific Bank and Peoples Home Savings
Bank swindles seems to be well founded In
the past two months Mrs. Mcdonald has
had several consultations with her attor-
ney, ex-Judge E. D. Sawyer, and Captain
James Mcdonald. Recently she gave up
her residence in Berkeley, and on Tuesday
without counting publicity she sailed for
Japan.
Letters have been received from Frank
Mcdonald by several heavy depositors OF
the racine Bank relaC1Ve TO MS return 10
this city. One of these depositors stated
yesterday that McDonald's proposition was
to return here and make such restitution
as lay in his power, provided the indict-
ments against him were not pressed. Mrs.
Mcdonald was designated by him as the
bearer of their answer, and while the whole
matter has been kept a profound secret,
the quiet departure of Mrs. Mcdonald is
accepted as an assurance that some agree
ment between her husband and the depos-
itors relative to his return hither has been
reached.
When CALL reporter questioned Rich
ard H. Mcdonald Jr. in the County Jail
relative to the report yesterday, he ex-
pressed great surprise at the news.
''WeI, WELL" he calculated, "that is the

AN ELOPEMENT'S SEQUEL.
CampobellO's Wife Suing Him for
Divorce.
He Married Her ClandestineIy Six Years
Ago and Now He AeglectS and
Deserts Her.

Every one in local society remembers
the tremendous sensation produced by the
announcement of the clandestine marriage
of Miss Grace Porter to the barytone
singer, Henry Montgomery Campbell,
on the stage. The sequel has now APP
peared in a suit filed by Mrs. Campbell
asking for a divorce on the grounds of
neglect and failure to provide, and also for
the custody of their minor child, girl of
8 years OF age.
Campbell, or !Campobello, came to this
city with the Emma Abbott Company
about ten years ago, and, as he liked the
place, he remained here after the company
left sand taught singing. While on the
stage everybody talked of him; he became
acquainted in the social circles of the city,
and when he turned to teaching music he
had no trouble at all in finding as many
pupils as his time and disinclination for
hard work would allow. Among his pupils
was the now famous Sybil Sanderson, and
rumor has 1t that he was engaged to her
at one time; but while that report was
still rife he suddenly disappeared with an
other OF his pupils, and they came back
married.
Miss Grace Porter was the daughter of
SAeN1f elAC NllOltSdlG 1lQuOT InGT-
chant, whose recent tragic death is still
well remembered. She, in common with
many others, had become infatuated with
the big blonde singer when he first ap-
peared, and when he commenced to teach
music she was among the first to apply for
lessons. This was in 1888, and Miss Porter
was then about twenty years old.
1t was supposed at first that Campbell
married Miss Porter for her money. but
David Porter was not as rich as MANY peo-
pie believed, and the result was that his
unexpected son-in-law still kept to his pro-
fession. His attraction ceased after his
marriage, however, infatuated young maid
ems hunted up other teachers and then
Campbell had to take to the stage. He
also took to bohemian's life and Obtained
quite a reputation as a man about town.
He sang first at the Tivoh and at local con-
certs, and then took to travelling compa-
MES, and is now touring through the
Southern States. He has never contributed
much to the support of his wife, and. be-
coming tired of it, she has asked for a
decree of divorce. The complaint in the
case was filed yesterday by ex-Judge Levy,
