A YOUNG GIRL INVENTOR,
Amelia SternScher Who Wants
Her Bartender to Have
Trial.
SHE rs SWEET SEVENTEEN.
But Has Had Passion for Machin-
cry From Her Early
Childhood.

The latest antagonist of the juggernaut
car which overruns and brushes the life
out of careless pedestrians is a 17-year-old
girl. Amelia Sternscher is her name, and
she lives at III Eleventh street. A short
time ago Amelia staggered George T.
Gaden and some of the other officials in
the Mayors Office by appearing with draw
ings of her fender and gravely demanding
advice for the best way to bring it to the
notice of the Board of Supervisors. She
was so very fragile and childish looking,
even for II, and was so terribly in earnest,
that no one liked to smile at the idea OF a
child pretending to have solved problem
that had puzzled skilled engineers.
One fippant clerk, however, asked her
jocularly whether she had wheels in her
head, and the girl gave him look of pain
and surprise that haunted him afterward.
1t was the first shock of the worlds indif-
ference and scorn, which all inventors.

Ambrose Watson was in his usual place
when Judge Conlan opened court yester-
day morning, looking smiling and conf
dent, from the fact that Judge Wallace
decided on Monday that he was clerk of
the court.
Alfred Morgenstern, the rival claimant,
occupied seat in the courtroom.
E. L. Wakeman, the deposed Prosecuting
Attorney, when the court opened asked
The Judge to place the fact on record that
he was present.

Judge, testify. "Mr. Mogan is my Prose
cutting Attorney and Mr.. Watson my clerk,
and decline to have anything more to do
with this sort of business. The business
of the court has been delayed too long and
must go on"
Clerk Watson was the recipient of hearty
congratulations from hosts of friends upon
his plucky fight. He is not yet secure in
his position, however, as a proceeding in
the nature of quo warranto has been
filed in Judge Wallace's court on behalf of
Morgenstern, backed up by the State, to
compel him to deliver up the Office. Wat
son has ten days in which to answer, and
his attorney Henry E. Highton, is pre-
pared to show good and sufficient cause
why he should be retained in Office.

LIGHTS FOR THE PARK.
The Commissioners Consider
the Petition of Property
Holders.
Arrangement Of Details Left to
the superintendent and
Mr.. RoSenfeid.

A meeting of the Golden Gate Park
noon to consider the proposition of allow
ing citizens to establish electric lights in
the park. A petition signed by large
number of citizens was read, and all of the
Park Commissioners favored the idea, hav-
ing seen in it much-needed improvement
to the park. But they feared that in some
way the park funds might be involved.
They therefore left the matter in the hands
of Commissioner J John Rosenfeld and Su-
perintendent McLaren, who will meet with
those DESTROYS of establishing the lights
and make some definite contract with
them.
81 think the idea is a splendid one,"
said Mr.. Rosenfeld yesterday afternoon.
1--WE ought to have the lights in the park
Now very few people take advantage of
the driveways except at the full of the
moon. If there were lights people could
use the park every night in the year.
eve do not want to take the chances of
having the payment for these lights put
upon the Park Commissioners" he added.
Neither do we want unsightly masts
erected. The light-masts must be orna-
mental as well as useful
Then there is another thing, the propo-
from the Midwinter Fair grounds. 1 think
we should have lights from the Baker
street entrance of the Panhandle. The in
creased number of the lights would not be
of much expense, and they would be very
desirable"
Mr.. Rosenfeld said that he would 90 to
the park to-day or tomorrow and look
was sure that a satisfactory agreement can
be reached. Mr.. McLaren, he knew,
wanted to see the PARK lighted, and as the
proposition was so favorable for all he was
quite certain that it would become an &C.
complished fact.
| Henry Doscher of the Seal Rock House,
| the father of the scheme, took the repre-
sentative of an electric-light company
+! through the park with him yesterday aft
ernoon. They decided that only twelve OF
thirteen lights would be needed to illumin-
ate the driveway from the D-street en-
trance, near the fair grounds, to the ocean.
No agreement was made, however, as the
Park Commissioners had not been heard

and consequent lowering of prices might
be developed in the furnishing of the lights

FELL FROM HIS WINDOW
Fatal Accident to Michael Farrell. a
Hotel-Keeper at the
PotrerO.

A peculiar accident, which resulted fatally
for Michael Farrell, the keeper of hotel
at the corner of Maryland and Sierra
streets, happened yesterday morning.
Farrell has been subject to very painful
attacks of rheumatism for some time past
and Monday evening he had particularly
bad spell. Toward morning it seemed to
affect his mind. and it was not long before
daylight when he was heard walking
around his room.
1t is supposed that he wanted to get out
through the door, but, dazed by the pain
of his disease, attempted the window in
stead. At all events his room was empty,
and he was discovered lying on the side
walk about twenty feet below.
His skull was fractured, and he died yes
terday evening. He left widow and four
grown children

FAST MAIL TRAINS.
A Change in the Railroad Time.
Table Saves Twenty Four
Hours.

The railway mail service has been i'm
proved to such an extent that letters and
general mail matter will reach their des-
tination at least twenty-four hours earlier
than heretofore. This has been mainly
brought about by the exertions of Super
intendent OF the Railway Mail Service
Flint.
Formerly the mail from all points in
Oregon, Washington and British Columbia
for points in California had to remain for
twenty-four hours in Portland because the
Southern Pacific's train left for San Fran
cisco an hour before the mail reached that
distributing point. Through the exertions
of Superintendent Flint the hour of de-
parture from Portland has been changed
to 80 P. M, and the gain in time is thus
made

ing JACK BRENNAN, it has oft been
boasted that the Democratic
party in Rhode Island is no lon
ger the party of "Brennanism." We
have studiously watched the career Of
the party since it has begun to glorify
itself with the throwing off of the shell
of Brennanism and a conviction rapidly
forced upon sand clinched on Wednes-
day last, is to the effect that when there
is no Brennanism in the Democratic
party there is very little party.
