the proportional strength of the arms.
"Wood work includes cabinet-making

These castings are used in the construction

turning of patterns involves the use of
many kinds of tools and of wood working

Although the school has taken up
manual training as described only for u

applications from manufacturing and sup

Many have an idea that the clay-model-
ing department is designed to cultivate
the artistic sense for art sake alone. This,
however as pointed out by Miss Van
Week, is a mistake. Its purpose, as is
that OF all the other departments of the
manual training course, is utilitarian.
Those who take up clay modelling qualify
themselves for industrial art-work, such as
designing on stoves, ceiling center pieces,
mural woodwork, etc., though during the
course pupils are taught how to model
busts and animal figures. But by far the
larger proportion of work Is confined to re-
lief modelling, such as is necessary in in
dustrial enterprises.

A POINT FOR THE CHIEF,
Lottery Joints in Chinatown
That Might Well Be
Raided.
Those Which Are Patroni2ed by
Whites Allow Few Winnings
to Be Made.

The police, who are doing their duty so
we'll in the matter of the downtown pool
rooms, might also turn their attention to
the large number of Chinese lotteries, OF
rather lottery swinGles, that are being run
in violation Of law in Chinatown. Here
are half a dozen of the larger agencies
where tickets are sold and winnings paid
in behalf of the lottery companies:
Charley Cheung, 727 Sacramento street.
Charley Cheungs branch at712 Commercial
Sam KEGS big establishment at 1913 Sacra-
mento street.
Places said to be controlled by Big Jim al
COZ Dupont street, Glib Dupont street, and
71312 Commercial.
These are the houses where tickets issued
by the lottery companies are sold and the
winnings paid.
The following seven lottery companies
issue tickets and conduct the drawings at
other places not known to the general
public:
Ming Lay Chow.
Wing Lay Yuen.
Fooh Guy Chung.
American Company.
Tie 10y.
FoOk Tai.
Red Head.
These agencies and lottery syndicates
have a system that enables them to dis
count hard times. A special set of tickets
are issued for white patrons and a special
drawing is held for them. The playing
closes in the afternoon at from O'clock to
2o'clock, and the drawing takes place at 4
In the evening playing closes at from to
s, and the drawing takes place at g. For
merly the drawing took place immedi-
ately after play ceased, and the winnings
were reasonable for lotteries. But now
the extra t1me is utilized in looking over
the tickets to arrange the winning num-
bers SO as to allow as few winnings as pos
sible. The result is that whites win very
little in the Chinese lotteries.
Chinese do not buy their tickets from
the places which sell to whites, nor are
whites allowed to buy from the lotteries
patronized by Chinese and run son the
square,"
Big Jim, Charley Cheung and Sam Kee
are known all over Chinatown as men OF
wealth. All the owners of the lotteries
dress in silk, have liberal supply OF wives
and make occasional pilgrimages to China
die the poor white devils"
Besides those mentioned there are other
smaller concerns, such as those at Ill, 705
and 699 Commercial street, where they will
not sell tickets inside. One wishing to
buy will signal from the outside. A
Chlnaman will come out, take his ticket,
go in and mark it, and on returning will
look around, up and down the street, as if
fearing the police, and hand over the
ticket. These rascals say that they are
afraid to do business openly because the
police are not friendly.

He DROVE FOR HIS LIFE.
Thrilling Experience Of Frank
Murphy of the Police
Patrol.
How He Guided a Maddened Runaway
Team Down the Pine.Street
Declivity.

Frank Murphy, driver of the patrol
wagon at the California-street police sta
ton, had an experience with a runaway
team of horses last night that would doubt
less have caused the death Of a person
afflicted with heart disease. As it was,
Mr.. Murphy, who enjoys the reputation of
being one of the most skillful drivers in
the department, lives to tell the story OF
his escape.
1t appears that about 9 o'clock last night
a call had been sent in to the police station
for the wagon from the police patrol box
at the corner of Stockton and Pine streets.
Officer Greenewald went out in charge Of
the wagon. Driver Murphy was on the
box. He drove up Stockton street until
he came to Pine. A drunken man was
stretched out on the sidewalk in the GEN.
ter of the block between Pine and Dupont
streets. Officer Greenewald went to look
after the man.
steep, but Murphy was urged to make the
descent.
The instant he turned into Pine street,
however, the horses became unmanage-
able, and away they fed down the hill at
a terrific pace. Murphy tugged at the lines
and put the brakes down hard, but the
now maddened animals were Indifferent to
the pressure.
Down the steep incline, past Dupont
street and on toward Kearny the horses
sped, the clatter of hoofs and the noise of
the heavy wagon as it ratified over the
cobblestones attracting hundreds of people.
Murphy clung to the lines like grim
death. He never for an instant lost his
head, not even when hind wheel left the
wagon and bounded into space. This
caused the hind part of the wagon to grind
out sparks of fire on the cobbles.
As Kearny street was approached
Murphy, needless of his own danger on
the high wagon box, yelled to the passing
throng and warned them of their danger.
The runaway horses, accustomed to turn
ing into Kearny street, now tried to make
the turn, while the driver headed
them down Pine toward Montgomery
street. The struggle between horses and
driver was heroic one. The end was a
compromise by both horses landing in a
tangled heap against telegraph pole at
the corner of Kearny and Pine streets
One horse fell partly on top of the other.
Neither was injured. The wagon pole was
.shivered to sphnters and the wagon, besides
the loss of wheel, was badly damaged.
Murphy chung TO his seat throughout
his perilous ride. His skill and GOODNESS
probably saved his life.

picked up the gauntlet and accepted the
challenge, whereupon both parties gave
sureties for the prosecution of the case.
Two days later they again appeared be
lore the same court and renewed their
suretles. The day of battle appointed was
June 7. Why this long delay was allowed
one knows not.
The combatants were to fight fasting +;
they had to swear that they had not pro-
tected themselves by any magic arts; each
man swore also TO the truth of his own
SIDE; the lndenture or agreement by which
they were bound to fight was read before
them.
There was an immense concourse of peo
pie, and every body in the end went away
quite satisfied, for the battle was long and
herce. ana the result was exactly what the
spectators desired. Harrington was big,

was one of the least"

swords, and lastly with daggers. The little

was chance.
At last. exhausted by fatigue and loss of
Dlood, harrington stumbled ana fell.
Annesley stood over him with intent to
make him surrender or die, when he was
blinded by the perspiration of his head and
fell across the other
Then it was katrington's turn. He
rolled himself, over and would perhaps
have finished off his adversary when the
earl ordered them to be parted.
Sir" said the knight, marching up to
the Judge, behold me ? am still fresh
and unhurt. Lay us together again and
let the battle go on"
This petition was granted, but it now APP
peared that Harrington had tainted. They
took Oft his helmet and he sat up, but be
seemed to have lost his senses. He looked
about him, dazed. He could not rise.
Whereupon the ordeal was adjudged in
favor of the knight, and as for Harrington
he was carried off the field to prison. He
would have been hanged next day, bat he
died in the night.
