LESSON OF THE COLIMA
An Aged Shasta Woman'S First
Trip Abroad in Fifty

Mrs. Luttrell, the aged mother of Isaac
Luttrell, an Oakland letter-carrier, left by
the steamer City of Sydney yesterday for
an ocean trip to New York. Mrs. Luttrell
is nearly 80 years old, has never been out
of Shasta County since she moved there in
the early 40's-more than half a century
ago-till she came to Oakland this week
she is the mother of thirteen children,
which number is regarded by her as SUI
perstitious omen, and several little Incl
dents that have happened since she left
her mountain home caused her to remark
that her whole journey will be fight
against superstition.
One of the results of Mrs. Luttrell' S expe.
rience with what she considers evil omens
was the making of her will SO that in case
anything happens to the Sydney there
will be no dispute over her property,
which consists of large estate in Shasta
County. Mrs. Luttrell was greatly i'm
pressed with the death of the Whiting
family on board the Colima, and decided
to make her will in a similar manner to
that of Professor Whiting.
Mrs. Luttrell is making the Journey all
alone, and refused to be accompanied by
any one or to be dissuaded from attempt
ing the long journey. If she returns all
right, and there is no reason why she
should not, as her trip has been carefully
planned by Baron Baroteau of this city, it
is the intention of Mrs. Luttrell to make a
tour of the world.

In view of the facts that school bonds
amounting to $4,000 become due on Octo-
Der l, and that the new bonds cannot be
sold until the Supreme Court passes on
their validity, the situation is regarded as
somewhat serious, as the outstanding bonds
must necessarily default
President Manuel of the City Council
said to-day:
OF course we must protect the credit of the
city, whatever happens, and we Will DO 1t II
the Supreme Court does not decide by October
l, or if the decision should be against the
legality of the bonds, we would hrst take what
money we have in the treasury ana use 1t to
meet the city's obligations, and next we would
appeal to the banks.
Some of the members OF the Council have al
ready consulted number OF bankers, and they
express q willingness 10 a1d IN seeing that the
financial standing OF the city shall not suffer
by reason of NOS having money to pay these
bonds on October l. OF course, the banks can
do this safely because ii the present bonds are
not legal it would be only because the law of
1895 authorizing rounding by the Council is
unconstitutional and then the Council would
destroy the present bonds, have new ones
printed, and take the necessary steps to COM
ply with the law.
l see that certain parties are now criticizng
the Council for ordering a bond election, but
it has not yet been proved unnecessary, and
may not be so proved. But, however that may
be, the Council acted on the best advice it
could obtain. ii appealed TO the City Attorney
10 tell it the law, and he secured meeting of
representative law firms for consultation
Among those present, l believe, were: A A.
Moore, ]. C. Martin, Victor Metcalf, Welles
Whitmore, Hall d Earl, Davis & Hill and James
a. Johnson. Those lawyers recommended a
course TO be taken, and we took it. We could
not have done otherwise.

HIS HONOR IN THE DUST.
Mayor DaVie Meets With a
Serious Fall From His
Wheel.
More Than Ever Convinced That
StreetCar Tracks Need Re-
pairing.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway. Sept. 19.

SUS broadway, sept. ~.
Mayor Davie had a fall to-day, and the
resultant bruises are not likely to encour-
age him to veto the repairing Of streetcar
tracks just ordered by the Council.
The accident to his Honor occurred on
San Pablo avenue, and was witnessed by a
large force of street-repairers who were
working at macadamizing the avenue.
This afternoon he was notified that the
appropriation of $1,000 to repair San Pablo
avenue had all been spent, and that an
other thousand would be acceptable to the
Street Superintendent. Off went the
Mayor at top speed to inspect the work,
nor did he stop pedaling till he reached
the scene of the work.
The tracks on San Pablo avenue are
much worn, and when a cyclist rides the
slot, as Mayor Davie does, he must be very
careful when turning sharply on to the
roa dway. Mayor Davie was not careful
enough, and as a result sustained bad
fall. Rarely has any public official made
such an impression on Oakland as his
Honor made this afternoon. His wheel
was badly scratched and the Mayors
shoulder and arm were considerably
bruised, and he will not be able to use them
fully for several days. He came back to
the City Hall on cable-car, and Council
man Bassett, who was passing, kindly
brought home the wheel.

a homestead in Alameda County, will
soon be conveyed to the widow. A petit
ton was filed in the Superior Court to-day
by Mrs. Langhorne asking that this be
done. The homestead is worth $4,000.
There are two minor children.
Fixed the Tax Levy.
The City Council held long meeting
tonight and finally fixed the tax levy at
81 Is, Watkinson was absent, and Bassett,
Hoffman and Brosnahan voted against the
ordinance, which obtained the remaining
seven votes. Should the Mayor veto the
ordinance one more vote would be required
to pass it over the veto, and it is probable
that this cannot be obtained unless Wat
majority.
Anxious About Her Daughter.
Mrs. Josephine Farrell of Alameda re-
celved letter from her young daughter
Yesterday, in which she told her mother
that she was about to marry young man
named Richardson. Mrs. Farrell called on
the County Clerk and asked him not to
issue license, as her daughter would not
be Is years of age till Decem Der.

BLUE-BLOODED DOGS.
The Edict Has Gone Forth That Their
Ears Must Not Be
Crowned.


Among dog fanciers San Francisco is
rated as good town for dogs. There are
many high bred and fancy specimens of
the canine type here, and the kennel shows
have enlisted widespread interest. Many
of the dog fanciers will learn, some with
gratifed surprise and others with regret,
that royal edict has gone forth against the
cropping of ears. At the annual meeting
of the English Kennel Club, February 81,
1895, it was made law that no dog born
after March 81, 1895, if cropped, could win
prize in any bench show of Great
Britain.
resolution against cropping was intro
duced at the American Kennel Club meet
ing in July, and the question was decided
September II. The rule is now that no
dog cropped after June 80, 1895, can be a
competitor for any prize offered at show
held under the American Kennel Club
rules. The California association has
adopted similar regulations.
Barry Coleman of the United Carriage
Company of this City says the new rule
will bring about a marked change in the
appearance of dogs. AT first the observers
will regard the dogs as ugly and lacking in
style, but when people become used to the
sight of natural ears the impression of
ugliness will pass away. AS the cropping
is never done until dog is seven months
old the passage of the new rules will put
an immediate end to the practice.
The officers of the American Kennel
Club are President August Belmont, Vice
President Thomas H. Terry and Secretary
A. P. Vredenburgh. The active and asso-
cate mem bership includes every kennel
speciality and field trial club in the United
States and every prominent dog breeder.
In all matters connected with blue blooded
dogs its rulings are infallible.
Mr.. Coleman regards it as settled that
the San Francisco dog fanciers will readily
acquesce in the rules adopted by the
American Club. The chief breeds affected
by the new rules are bull terriers, black
and-tan terriers, white, English, Irish aid
Scottish terriers, Yorkshires, the new
American breed, Boston terriers and Great
Danes

AN INVALID ORDINANCE.
The Sausalito Court Is Powerless
to Punish Offenders for Certain
MisdemeanOrs.


The local tribunal for the adjudication OF
ordinary disturbances in Sausalito is pow
erless to punish resident OF that pretty
town for calling his neighbor bad names.
The trial of the case of the people vs. G. A.
Rosen, charged with provoking his neigh
Dor, Charles Scott, with slanderous names,
has developed the fact that ordinance No.
is invalid. 1t had served to keep down a
goodly quantity of i'll nature until it was
discovered by Barrister Silva of Mill Val
ley, counsel for defendant, that it was i'm
perfect as to its signature.
The ordinance was passed in October,
1893, while Captain Dexter, the town clerk,
was doing Europe. When that official re-
turned he set about writing up his record
and when he came to ordinance No. he,
engrossed the same and attached his sig
nature thereto, contrary to the statute in
such cases made and provided.
But Judge Pryor, the Town Recorder,
gained one point in the trial. He made it
manifest that the court was no respecter
OF persons nor personages in the matter of
jury duty. Formerly the Sausalito juries
have been picked UP along Water street,
but in this trial Constable Creole was sent
out among the rich and prominent gentle
men, and the twelve men good and true
were selected from as fine specimens of
business and professional men as ever did
business in San Francisco and slept in the
quiet village of Sausalito. The trial was
SET for P. NJ. in order to accommodate the
veniremen who arrived on the evening
beat and no ordinary excuse served to re-
lease them from jury duty.
Gentlemen" said Judge Pryor in ad-
dressing the jury, .'you are the kind of
people who demand an improvement in
the morals of Sausalito. l shall expect
you to aid in the accomplishment of the
reform, and when a new ordinance shall
be drawn the reformation will begin in
dead earnest"

the corner of Park street and Alameda
avenue at high speed one of the horses
slipped and fell, sliding from the railroad
track to the sidewalk. The apparatus also
landed on the sidewalk, scattering pedes-
TRANS in both directions. A small boy in
some unexplained manner found himself
tangled I'D in the singletree, but escaped
hv crawling out under the wheels without
a scratch. The fire in the basement was
to dispose of rubbish.
The department was called out about 10
o'clock last night for fire in the Ahlborn
residence on High street, caused by the
explosion of a coal-oil lamp. The blaze
arrived.
Gave False Address.
William Hammond reported to the
police last night the theft OF bicycle from
his cyclery on Park street. A middle aged

When it was time to close up the stranger
had not returned. Policeman WEIGH

JEWISH NEW YEAR SERVICES.

Rabbi Friedlander at the First Hebrew
Congregation.
The Jewish New Year services were con-
cluded this evening in the synagogue OF
the First Hebrew congregation. There
was an unusually large attendance, and
the lecture of Rabbi Friedlander was one
Of the most stirring that he has delivered.
The rabbits discourse was based on the fes-
tival of Rosh Hashono, and was in part a
historical review of the progress of the race
during the past year. He referred to the
status of the race in those European coun-
tries where persecution has been rife, and
said that the five thousand six hundred and
siXty-sixth anniversary of the creation of
the world was more suspicious tran any
for a century past. I'VE have great rea-
son to be thankful, said the rabbi, ''for
truly Israel has not been forsaken of her
God in the year just past.
1T has been one of blessing to our race
the world over; and although there have
been dark spots in It's history, they are
more than blotted out by the many pages
of bright history that have been chron-
icled since we last celebrated this feast of
New Year"
Interesting services were also held by
the Orthodox Jews in the synagogue of
Beth-Jacob on Harrison street, between
Fourth and Fifth. This society has no
regular rabbi, but Rabbi Gortinkle of San
Francisco was specially engaged for the
occasion. The services were rendered
doubly interesting by the singing of the
male quartet, selected for the purpose in

Under the Consulate.
The makers of a paper constitution can
not foresee every detail in the workings OF
its provisions, and contrary to the expec-
tation of Sieyes at least the form which
the new Government took at the outset
was largely personal. The consulate and
the Ministry were entirely so, their mem
bers being chosen with keen business in
stinct like that of a great industrial or
commercial master, for personal character,
integrity, capacity and devotion. WHAT

This was so far true, but such nice dis
elimination could not be exercised in fill
ing the hundreds of minor offices. No land
is second to France in the ambition OF its
people for office-holding and among the
thousands of greedy claimants it was not

takes made in the selection, and the disap-
pointed formed a large class of embittered
malcontents from the very Inauguration
of the consular system. There were the
Senate, the Legislature, the Councll or
State, the Tribune, the whole judicial adj
ministration, all to be filled. 1t was I'M

would not be niggardly. When finally

francs; that of Tribune, $1,000 francs;
that of a Legislator 10000. AS a measure
of relative importance it is interesting to
