is in my judgment my duty to ask your con-
sideration OF the matter so that services may
not be asked, for which probably no payment
can be made.
The act 10 establish and define the powers
and duties of the Board of Education of the
city and county of San francisco, and to repeal
former acts, etc, etc., approved April 81, 1868,
contains the following:
Section 10. The said superintendent hereby
authorized to appoint q clerk, subject to the
approval of the Board of Education, who shall
act as secretary OF the board, and who shall be
paid salary to be fixed by the said board not
to exceed the sum of 5000 per month The
pleasure of the superintendent, and shall per-
form such duties as may be required OF him
by the board or the superintendent
In the case OF the people against Freese, Ia
Cal. $50. the decision was as follows:
sit is claimed that the Governor did not, in
TACT, remove the respondent; that the state
ment in the commission, vice A. G. Freese, re-
moved the demand of the relator to be let
into possession of the Office and the refusal OF
the defendant to comply herewith, do not
snow the removal and therefore there was no
vacancy to be filed.
owe think, however, that the appointment of
successor in Office when an officer is removed
at pleasure is sufficient act OF removal"
Inc mere appointment OF successor would
par Sc be a removal of incumbent"
Auditor Broderick also sent in a COM
munlcatlon refusing to allow George
Beanston $50 month from September 80,
1888, to Novem Der go 1894, as committee
S1eIh lOI the DOaTQ OH lie SIOuuQ tQdI IL
was illegal
Andrew J. Moulder, Superintendent of
Schools, referred to Auditor Broderick's
communication and declared that the
board was without a secretary. If the
Auditor was correct the board was in a
predlcament. The warrants for 800
teachers and 100 employees of the depart
ment would be kept out of their wages, as
warrants could not be authenticated. He
asked that Charles W. WEIGH be appointed
secretary. This brought up the old conten-
ton as to the right of the Superintendent
to name the secretary.
Director Henry T. Scott took exception
to the facts as stated by Superintendent
Moulder in declaring that there was no
secretary. Director Barrett moved that
Mr.. WEIGH be elected secretary, and Di-
rector Ambrose seconded the nomination.
The nomination was lost by tie-six
ayes, six noes. Directors Ambrose, Bar
rett, Carew. Clinton Comte, Hawley voted
aye, and Directors Henderson, McElroy,
Murdoch, Scott, Stone and Dodge voted no.
In explaining his vote Director Scott
said that he had voted aye once before out
of courtesy to Mr.. Moulder.
Director Stone explained his vote by say
ing that he would vote no until the mat
ter was settled as to the contention of the
Auditor that Mr.. Beanston was not the
secretary and could not draw salary.

Fish and Game Commissioners Hol.
Their First Meeting

Fish and Game Commissioners Hold
Their First Meeting.
The first meeting of the new Board of
Fish and Game Commissioners was held
yesterday in the Flood building. There
were present: Messrs Emeric, Morrison
and Murdoch. The latter is the only re-
naming member of the old board, as Red
ding and Mcneil resigned purposely to
give some other men prominently inter-
ested in shooting and fishing an opportu-
nifty Of handling the reins of the Fish and
Game Commission.
Mr.. Morrison listened very attentively
to Emeric and Murdochs talks on fishes,
and when they bad finished speaking the
commissioner from Sacramento suggested
that it would be an excellent idea to give
some attention to the game birds and ami
mails which have heretofore received a cold
shoulder from the commission. Emeric
and Murdoch acquiesced, and the outlook
for the introduction of foreign game birds
into this State is now very promising
In past years the $4,000 appropriation
to the Fish and Game Commissioners was
| expended IN the maintenance of fish hatch
cries, which have resulted in very little
good to the State. This time half of the
amount. stated will be expended in the in
PRODUCTION OF game birds from foreign
countries. Several arrests of poachers
have been made during the past month.

attacked the heart she would recover. Who
the guilty persons were and when the drug
was administered to the racer is a mystery.
The drilling rain apparently had a

In the first three races the favorites
Del Norte, Robin Hood and Mowitza, were
barreled, but in the last two Ursula and
Whitestone both landed the coin. The

liberal scratching.
Del Norte was backed from to 5 to even
money to win the first race, a six-furlong
spin for maidens, but finished second.
Myron, an to chance, and Soon Enough,
another outsider, raced out in front, open

BY A CLOSE MARGIN IN
A DRIVE.

On Tuesday of the present week Abb P
started in a light welter-weight race at five
furlongs, against Joe Cotton, McFarlane,
Advance, Vulcan and The Drummer.
From 4 to 1 the speedy sprinter was backed
down to 13 to 5, a heavily backed second
choice, Joe Cotton, going to the post 9 to
10 favorite. The mare was in fine condi-
tion, and both her owner, G. Pacheco, and
Trainer Short were confident she would
defeat the favorite. In fact so confident
was her trainer she would win that he bor-
rowed money on his watch to play her.
With w. Clancy up, she ran a miserable
race, finishing an Indifferent third. So
poor was her run that Clancy came in for
his share of criticism. Noticing that the
mare acted strangely after the race, Trainer
Short called in the services of veterinary
surgeon yesterday morning, and after an
examination he stated that without doubt
the mare had been given some drug.
There was partial paralysis of the hind
legs and the veins were badly swollen, but

at not seeing the return match between

THE LAZY INVENTOR.
He Deyises Magnificent Scheme for
Filling a Water Tank.


at has occurred to me many times" OBJ
served Meekin, the lazy inventor, "that a
lot OF energy is wasted by people walking
up and down stairs. Some five years ago
the idea took such hold upon me that I
determined to utilize this stair energy at
least in my own house. | lived in street
in New York City where we had to use
force pump to fill water tank in the top
of the house so as to get sufficient pressure
in the water mains. I finally decided to
make my family, while ascending and de-
scending the stairs, generate sufficient
power to run a dynamo whose current
would be used to operate an electric pump
which was to fill the Watertank. | had
the stairways remodeled, so that the
threads worked on hinge, the front face
of the threads being about two inches
higher than ordinarily, under each thread
l placed heavy steel springs, which con-
nected with another invention of mine

paratus was in harmony with the dynamo,
and the pump connected with the latter in
the usual manner. | connected up the
whole scheme, and then stood in the front
hall while my wife came downstairs. The
slanting steps were a little awkward at
first, and the springy sensation WASH t
very agreeable, but anything goes in the
interest of science. Ny wife got down all
right and generated enough energy to
start things going. The children didn't
like the new steps and took to sliding
down the baluster rail, which discom-
NODDED me slightly. In the end l found
that l would have to race up and down
stairs about twice as much as usual to keep
the old thing running. My friends, too,
observed that 1 was gradually acquiring a

SIGN LANGUAGE AMONG INDIANS
General Gibbons Story of an Incident
in the Seminole War in 1s49.

Oeherai Uipnoh's story OF an incident
in the Seminole War in 1S49.
Brigadier-General Gibbon entertained an
audience recently with some "reminiscences
of his services among the Indians, says
the Washington Star. General Gibbons
experience with the Indians commenced
in the Seminole War, as far back as 1S49.
General Gibbon said it was remarkable
how much can be told by means of sign
language among people accustomed to
its use. AS an instance of this he related
a circumstance of the Seminole War. Hos
tillties appearing to be imminent be-
tween the whites and the Seminoles,
under Billy Bowlegs, their chief, it
was desired to communicate with
the Indians to ascertain whether
It was very difficult to get at the
Seminoles, however, and no method
seemed open until one day a man
came in from his cabin down the
coast and stated that he had left there
on account of his supposed danger from
Indians. He had found upon his cabin
door small white flag made of heron's
the stick were twist of tobacco and a
small string OF beads. He said some In
dams had scrawled upon his door with the
end OF burned stick some signs. There
were three stars in a line. then full
round circle and then four more stars.
These signs were interpreted to mean that
Billy Bowlegs desired to have peaceful
smoke and talk with the white men, that
his messenger had been at his cabin three
days before the time of the full moon, and
that he would come again four days after
the full moon to receive the answer of the
white man. The Indians messenger was
answered by the presence of the white men
four days after the full moon, and sure
enough Billy Bowlegs was on hand, a
conference was had, and it was shown that
the indians did not desire to engage in a
general war, but that the outrages of which
the whites complained had been committed
by lew unreliable bad Indians.

According to a letter that was received
by prominent member of the State
Sportsmen's Association yesterday from
Sacramento Governor Budd will sign the
new game bill to-day. 1t is without ques-
ton in the opinion of every prominent
sportsman of this city the best game bill
for the protection of game and fish that
has ever passed the Legislature. and as the
Governor is strongly in favor of law that
will help to increase instead of decreasing
the game and fish supply of the State it
goes without saying that he will only too
willingly sign the new game and fish bill
