The ship Griffith went to sea with six
non-union men, and it is alleged by the
strikers that they cost $40 apiece. The
barkentine Tropic Bird and bark Santiago
took union crews, and the bark J. G. Bor-
land went to sea with union fishermen.
The labor of getting men for the coasters
grows more difficult, and the Ship-owners'
ASSOCIATION is making every effort to sup
ply the vessels. Japanese are being brought
from the interior and shipped, and pre-
MUM OF So head is being given for the
little brown sailors. It was at first urged
that the union call out its men from all
vessels on the coast, but it was thought
unnecessary, and that important order was
not issued. 1t is reported that 1870 men
will be needed for the vessels here within
the next two weeks.

A new tree planter in the shape of an So

the alluvial soil along the bay that piles

BEARDSLEYIsM IN CHICAGO.
Students Drawing Shel1-Eyed Women
With Worms in Their Hair.

Students Drawing Shel1Eyed Women
With Worms in Their Hair.
The epidemic at present raging among
the art students of Chicago made its ap-
pearance in virulent form about one year
ago.
There had been few scattered cases be-
fore that time, but the malady had not
taken firm hold, and the bacilli were not
yet generally distributed.
The disease should be known as "Beards-
leyism, although its victims generally re-
gard it as high art up to date Albert
Beardsley, young Englishman, deliber-
ately started the trouble, and succeeded in
having himself talked about and initiated,
which is practically the same as being sue
cessful.
The o1d-fashioned way of learning to
draw pictures was to study perspective,
light and shade, exact form, anatomy and
few other things. Students went to the
art institute and sketched for hours at a
time to get Hercules absolutely correct,
with every trace of muscle shown.
They studied the ancient modes of
statuary and the paintings which revealed
the speaking likenesses of men and women.
That was before the malady appeared.
Mr.. Beardsley's pictures came along and
the traditions of thirty centuries were
shattered.
The new kind of art demonstrated that
a womans neck is shaped like letter S,
that the waist may be thin to nothingness,
that the hair may radiate fran the head
in rigid ringlets, that the feet may be of
the outline of pruning hooks.
Mr.. Beardsley's strongest sithings' con-
sisted of great dashes of circling black
lines with pair of frightened eyes peer
ing out through the bubbling mass of
spaghetti.
There were hands which had three tines
each like fork, and there were figures
which careened over in violation of all
known laws of gravity and had apparently
been dried over barrel.
They'll come around in time" said an
instructor. "Just now they're drawing
shell-eyed women with worms in their
hair, but they'll get over that all right
most of them will. Others will have to be
cared for. We had something of the same
trouble when Oscar Wilde came over
here. '-Cnicago Record.

BERKELEY.

The members of the University Glee
Club have been making elaborate prepare
tons for the intercollegiate concert which
takes place this evening at the Auditorium.
San Francisco. They have been practicing
daily for several weeks past, and hope to
be as successful in the performance to-
night as they have on previous occasions.
The natural rivalry between the two col
leges has been the means of affording a
great stimulus to active work in the prep
aration for the event.
This will be the first occasion upon which
the two colleges have entered jointly into
the carrying out of performance or I'M
dertakii-g of any kind, and the novelty
itself has been the means of interesting
many III the affair.
1t promises to be a great society event,
as well as an effort to please the musical
sense of the spectators.
The Joining of hands of the two universe
ties and the blending together of the car
dinal and the blue and gold shows that
there is still a feeling of friendship be-
tween them, though Berkeley has been
worsted twice in football by her sister col
lege.
The reported difficulty over the arrange
ments for the concert is unfounded. There
has been nothing but harmony from the
very beginning of the project.
Crowded Public Schools.
Much complaint has been raised lately
concerning the oyercrowded condition of
the Berkeley public schools and several
prominent citizens have taken it upon
themselves to look into the matter and de-
termine just which schools are over
crowded and to what extent. The reports
OF the principal of the high school, which
are published from time to time, show a
rani61V incraa sine attendance and wit n
this increased attendance and no provision
made for extra facilities the schools are
crowded to overlooking.
The new charter recently passed by the
citizens of Berkeley will increase the
amount of money to be used for school
purposes, and it has come at an opportune
time, for the present condition OF affairs is
conducive in no way to the health, happi-
ness and intellectual development of the
children.
The citizens are specializing as to whom
they shall nominate for School Trustees at
the coming convention, for upon them will
fall the responsibility of improving the
public school service.
Notes.
Yesterdays issue of the university daily
was devoted exclusively to the names,
records and prospects of the candidates for
places on the track team which will go
East in June. Since the meeting of the
student body on Tuesday to raise money
for defraying the expenses of the trip,
about $3.50 more has been subscribed toward
the loan, making total of $115O now in
sight.
About $1,000 more is expected from the
benefit field day, to be given April 20 by
the clubs of the Coast Athletic Association

WILL FORM 4 Boys CLUB.
PURPOSE OF A NEW ORGANIZA-
TON INCORPORATED YES
TERDAY.
IT WILL BE CARRIED Our ON THE
PLAN OF SIMILAR CONCERNS
IN THE EAST.

San Francisco is to have boys clubs lust
as in the larger Eastern cities, and the boys
who now roam the streets will be taken
care of by some one more congenial than a
blue coated policeman, and an institution
where they will learn things that will be
useful in making them good citizens when
they grow up, instead of leaving them to
the tender mercies of the "curfew law and
the education of the Jail.
The scheme has worked excellently in
the East, and there is every prospect of its
working equally well here. The plan in
cludes the establishment of dormitories,
where the homeless wanderers NAV sleep
classrooms and intelligent teachers. where
the seekers after knowledge may attend
and learn; libraries full of books upon all
subjects, which may interest the miscel-
laneous assortment of boys who attend the
institution, and files of the leading period
lcals of the world.
Nor is the social side of the scheme neg
lected; it is this in fact that is expected to
first attract the youth of the city, and so
entertainments of varied character are
to be frequently given. 1t is not alone the
bows of the street who are to be helped. how
ever, but any other boy who feeling within
himself the need of such helping hand,
stretches forth and grasps it.
In the articles OF incorporation, which
were filed yesterday, just such an institu-
ton is outlined. Directing the local insti-
tuition will be: Mrs, Mary w. Kincaid,
George Otis Mitchell, Sidney Piexotto,
Loring P. Rixford, Emma Wellman. Flor
ence Lundborg, Julia George, Florence @.
Paul, F. G. Burgess, Mrs. o. E. Derby and
Mrs. Annie C. Crane.
1t is intended to push the perfection of
the plan as rapidly as possible, and to
make it as good if not better organize
ton than can be found elsewhere.

ALAMEDA.

James Roman, young man aged about
% years, met with fatal accident yester-
day morning at the transfer of the narrow
gauge and broad-gauge railroads, near the
Pacific Coast Oil Works. Rohan was one
of gang of men engaged in transferring
timbers from narrow-gauge to road-gauge
freight-cars.
Roman had Just begun work, and had
given last blow with sledge-hammer to
the stake which held the big pile of lumber
in place on iatcar when the accident oc-
Cured that cost him his life. When he
saw the timberS falling he made desper-
ate effort to get out of the way, but the at
tempt was futile. He was caught between
the cars and had his skull fractured and
neck broken. His companions hurried to
his assistance and lifted the weight from
his body. He was carried TO the residence
of his brother on Pacific avenue and Drs.
w. O. Smith and Bull were summoned. 1t
was apparent he could not long survive his
injuries, and died six hours later.
Opposition Telephone Company.
An agent for an opposition telephone
company was in Alameda yesterday solicit
ing orders. When the new company
secures 800 subscribers they will wire the
city. The price for the service will be 50
per month and no extra charge for switch
in Oakland and Berkeley, and after it gets
established on this side of the bay will in
wade San Francisco.
Found Guilty.
S. A. Wells, the expressman who battered
William Bannon on Tuesday evening be-
cause he was instrumental in having
an attachment levied on property at 2021
Pacific avenue, was found guilty of battery
yesterday and fined $40 by Justice Swasey.
The counter charge of Wells that Bannon
disturbed his peace was dismissed after a
trial.
Delinquent Property Sold.
The property delinquent for assessments
for the opening of Buena Vista avenue,
from Sherman to Benton streets, was sold
at auction yesterday by Superintendent
Frodden. Bidding was lively, and all OF
the delinquent assessment property was
sold, each purchaser taking the whole for
the amount of the assessment.
Fell From a Ladder.
Fred Sunkel met with painful mishap
Thursday afternoon He was trimming
tops on his property on Railroad avenue
and Walnut street when the ladder upset
and he fell upon the pavement with such
force as to render him unconscious.

sale herding together is the objection.
One company had number of third-class
cars built on the American model, but
even the third-class passengers wouldn't
ride on them and they had to be recon
srructed.
The corridor coaches differ slightly in
construction on different RAILWAYS. they
are only used yet on the principal through
trains between the chief cities of the king
dom, as between London and GLASGOW or
Edinburgh or on the southern routes for
the Continent. The two classes. first and

cars from the outside. They average sixty
feet in length, run on two boyle trucks and
are connected at the ends by yestibuled
platforms, but instead of being entirely
open inside with gangway down the mid
die they are divided into COMMITMENTS
and passageway runs along one side OF
the car. All the compartments open into
this corridor and thus communication is
obtained from each compartment through
the length of the train. Each first-class
compartment seats four persons, two on a
side, and each third-class compartment is
made to seat six persons.
There are in each car one compartment
for smoking, one reserved for women and
children, a lavatory for men and one for
women. There is small compartment in
the middle of some cars intended for stor-
ing the hand baggage of passengers. The

terror of the cars by single doors, as we'll as
through the corridor, which itself has
doors along its length to permit of speedy
ingress and egress. The windows Of the
corridor are extra large, and afford excel
lent facilities for seeing the scenery. Cars
of similar design are in use on some Cont
mental railways, but the English news
papers give full credit to the american

ompartment-corridor carriages give all the
safety of the American car, with many
added comforts and conveniences All the
cars of both classes are handsomely fin
