 Among the subjects of pride to the progressive people of Guaymas is the excellent public school system. This is. to great extent. the result of un- remitting effort and intelligent'atten- tion by Dr. priscilano Figueroa, the popular and progressive president of the city. An ardent believer in pub- lie cducation, and 'liaying devoted close attention to the hest models and methods. Doctor Figueroa has worked faithfully. efficiently and successfully in creation of a system Of public in- strnction which would be credit to a community of the size in an Ameri- can city where public education has been established for generations. Three large buildings are devoted to the purpose. and a large and very ef- fecilye corps of Teachers impartS thorough knowl ledge in lhe element- ary branches and advanced studies. Ii is an ambition Of the doctor to some day put the public schools of Guaymas into buildings which for solidlty of construction, masslyeneSs and archi- tectural beauty, will admirably sup plcment the fine municipal palace now approaching completion, which of it. self is greatly due 10 his efforts. This massive structure Is Of solid masonry, and covers nearly, the entire area of q plaza. The architecture is of the cas- tellated order the solid walls being surmounted by an embrasured har- bette. From the center rises lofty tower 0f the same massive proportions A the rest of the structure. the walls of which are likewise surmountcd by similar barbette The entire Struc- ture. resembles a medieval castle in miniature. The building Is Co be de- voted to all the departments Of the municipal government, and all the of

THE RACETRACK SUIT.
Mrs. Elizabeth Tobin Awarded $500
Instead of $25, 1000 Damages.

The long contested suit of Mrs. Eliza
beth Tobin against the Pacific Coast
Blood-horse Association is at last ended
and the plaintiff has secured a Judgment
for $500. She brought suit to obtain $25,-
600 damages, alleged to have been sus-
tanned in being elected from the betting
ring at the racetrack December 10, 1898.
She was afterward expelled from the
grounds and hustled off to the Central
Police Station for disturbing the peace.
Mrs. Tobln had a great inclination to
guess the winners and back her Judgment
with the coin of the realm, so she went into
the betting-ring with the same freedom as
the m ale attendants at the races. T. II.
Williams. the president of the association
did not think this was the proper thing
and he put his foot down heavily upon the
new woman by having his special police
request her 20 go to the place set apart for
ladies and their escorts.
This she refused to do and when the po-
liceman attempted to enforce the presi-
dents orders there was a queer scene
After Mrs. Tobin was elected from the
ring she continued to denounce the whole
management, which resulted in her being
arrested and locked up.
She considered that she had been so hu-
inflated at the hands of the association
and its officers that nothing short of S25,-
600 damages would pacify her.
The jury decided that $500 would answer
the purpose.

PACIFIC KENNEL CLUBS.
Meeting of Sportsmen Who are Inter
ested in Bench Show Exhibitions.

w
ested in Bench Show Exhibitions.
Last evening very enthusiastic gather
ing of gentlemen interested in kennel mat
tiers took place at the Occidental Hotel
with the object of meeting the secretary of
the American Kennel Club, who recently
arrived from New York, for the purpose of
consulting with the dog fanciers of this
coast as regards what is commonly known
as the 500 rule, which has materially in
lured the kennel interests west of the
Rocky Mountains
After considerable discussion on mat
ters of most particular interest and impor-
tance to the kennel clubs of this coast, the
meeting adjourned SO as to give the repre-
sentatives present ample time to discuss
the questions propounded by Secretary
Vrenderburg.
At the next meeting, which will be held
in the near future. the questions of hold
ing but one show or a series of shows in
this State in each year will be definitely
settled. Several of the gentlemen present
expressed their views, and nearly all of
them were in favor of the adjustment o.
the five hundred rule, which, although
satisfactory to Eastern sportsmen is
strongly opposed by the kennel clubs of
this coast.

tional convention convene in this City.
The meeting was held IN Shiels build
ing, large number of prominent Repub-
licans being present. C. W. Manwaring
presided.
After P. H. Prendergast, c. c. Morris
and James L. Watt had made stirring
speeches on the vast benefits to be derived
by the State and the Republican party
through the holding of the convention IN
this City, set of resolutions setting forth
the value of the convention to California
and calling upon all loyal Republicans to
do all in their power so assist in the pro-
ject was adopted by acclamation.
The matter OF forming clubs in the
various Assembly districts was then taken
up and a committee consisting of G. G..
Morris, P. III. Prendergasr, j. H. Thomp-
son, James A. Watt and J. Jackson was
appointed TO draft plan for their organi-
Zation. During the course of the discus
sion it was brought out that clubs had al
ready been formed in a mum ber of districts.
1t was voted as the sense of the meeting
that the county committee would not
recognize these clubs as official, but that
when the proper time arrived regular clubs
would be formed under the auspices of the
committee and given full auth orization to
organize the voters for the coming cam
paign.
At the proper time the plans OF the COM
mittee will be given full publicity and a
call issued to all Republican voters to rally
to the support of the party.
1t was decided to appoint committee to
cooperate with those now engaged in the
work of raising funds for the convention
The committee will be appointed by Chair
man Mainwaring and the names will be
made public within a few days.

Union Iron Works Blamed for
the Fate of a Young Crane
Driver.
A PLAINLY woRDED VERDICT.
The Coroner's Jury in the Bennett In.
quest Visited the Dangerous Dry
Dock Machinery.

A Coroner's jury censured the Union
Iron Works yesterday. 1t did so in a
plainly worded verdict after paying the
shlpways at the Potrero visit and exam
lining the machinery. Their verdict was
that an employees death was due to the
fact that certain machinery there-gear-
ing-was dangerously and unnecessarily
exposed.
John Bennett, young married man
whose home was at s34 Mission street, had
been employed by the Union Iron Works
on the shipways for several months, and
on Novem ber his clothing was caught in
the machinery by which the crane was
moved just as he was about to begin the
afternoons work. He died of blood poi
soning three days later, and yesterday
Coroner Hawkins held an inquest to ex-
anime into the cause of his death.
Three fellow-employes testified as to the
circumstances of his death, namely, Oscar
Berg of 1877 Madison avenue, crane
driver also; Julius Johnson of 906 Illinois
street, laborer, and Oscar Williams of
1917 Folsom street, shipwright. Accord
ing to their testimony Bennett had to de-
dangerous proximity to a cogwheel OF the
gearing of the shaft, and so close was this
wheel to him that he had just turned part
ly around to see that everything was all
right when the Jumper" mechanics
coat which he wore, was caught in the
rapidly revolving wheel. and one of his
legs was badly crushed. Berg was the first
who saw him. Bennett had been working
on this hosting apparatus for about three
months, it was said.
The Coroner's jury, accompanied by
Deputy Coroner John G.. Tyrre1l, paid the
drydock a visit. When they had care
fully examined the machinery they re-
turned the following verdict:
We find that death was due to an accident
while in the company's employ, and that had
necessary precaution been taken by the COM
pany in covering the exposed cogwheels the
accident could have been averted. 1t is the
sense OF this jury that the company be CEN
sured for this neglect.
S. RosENTHAL, Foreman.
Coroner Hawkins approved the verdict.
Three other inquests were held. Will
liam Bartjes, the saloon-keeper who cut
his throat on November 10 at 212 Prospect
place, and Theodore Standacher, an up
holsterer, who asphyxiated himself at
1901 Pine street on the 7th inst. were both
pronounced cases of suicide. The asphyxia-
ton of Mary E. Heller, a widow, at 116
Eddy street on the 10th inst, was found
to have been accidental.
