DAILY, he could never be tempted to leave
California for any great length of time.
He was about As years of age and was
born at Beloit Wis. He leaves two sons
Forrest, aged Is, and Arthur, aged II. The
former is al attache of the Morosco Thea
He was separated from his first wife several
years ago, and his second wife took her
life on the 1st of May last by swallowing a
dose of carbolic acid, owing to long con-
tinued illness.
Seabury began his career as scenic
artist in this city twenty-three years ago
anoer William Porter at the California
Theater, then under the management OF
John Mccullough and Lawrence Barrett.
He also worked with A. Voegtlin at th,
theater. In 1878 he went to the Bush
street Theater, then under Charles Locke s
management.
When the Baldwin was opened by AL
Hayman in 1888 he went there and re-
maincd with Hayman until three year,
ago. Then he became the scenic artist for
the Stockwell. He went to Los Angeles a
here TO enter the employ of Walter Mo
rosco last February.
lie was man OF most generous impulses
ana though for many years he had been
enjoying an income varying from $4,000 to
5000 year 1t Is believed he has saved
little or nothing of it. Among the theatri-
cal people OF this City he was most highly
esteemed, both for his merits as an artist
and for his qualities as a man and friend.
The plea OF distress was never made to
him in vain.
The most notable work done by him was
the scenery for the play of Alabama
staged at the Baldwin, and, and the pres
ent drop curtain of that theater, scene OF
Stratford upon Avon, is his handiwork.
Ills last canvas, that finished but mo-
ment or two before his death, was camp
scene on the Potomac to be used next
week IN the play Captain Herne, U. s.
A." This immense canvas, measuring
30 by 81 feet, was completed in eighteen
hours. Another remarkably rapid piece
OF work was the drop curtain now in use at
Morosco's, known as the Flag Curtain,
which was executed specially for the
Fourth OF July performance, and was
painted in seven hours.
Ills forte" said AL Bouvier OF the
BALDWIN, who knew the deceased inti-
mately for many years, twas in exteriors,
his drawing, foreshortening and perspec-
| tive being his strongest points. He de-
tested having to do interiors, but all his
work was conscientiously performed"
Deceased had been under physician s
care Tor about five months previous to his
death, but had never had any serious i'll
Ness or attack before, and his demise was a
great shock to his relatives and friends
The remains are now at the undertaking
establishment of Porter Bros. on Eddy
street. No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral.
The grandfather of the dead artist was
the first Episcopal Archbishop to come te
the United States, and was the founder o.
old Trinity Church. New York City.

FORREST SEABURY DEAD,
Dramatic End of California's
Celebrated Scenic
Artist.
He Had Just Completed a Huge
Canvas When He Fell and
Expired.

"Your drop is finished, and it's Won
DER" were the last words of Forrest Sea-
bury, the celebrated theatrical scenic artist,
as he placed his brush in pot of water
after completing the painting of drop
curtain in the painting gallery OF
Morosco's Opera-house at 4 35 P. NJ. yester-
day. He took few steps toward the
washstand near by, staggered and fell, and
within a few seconds breathed his last.
His remark had been addressed to Tom
Andrews, the stage manager OF the theater.
But moment before Seabury's elder son,
Forrest, had accosted him from the stage
floor below, asking him how he felt, and he
had replied in a eheery manner. Young
Forrest had not had time leave the stage
when he was called back in an excited tone
of voice by Jack Smell, one of the stage at
taches, who shouted that his father had
tainted and asked him to call doctor.
Ollie Morosco, son of the proprietor of
the opera-house, rushed to telephone
and summoned physician. while young
eabury rushed up to his father, but
to o late to get even parting glance from
him. for he had xpired almost instantly.

skillful scenic artist second to none in this
country and his admirers claim that he
ranked with any in Europe. His famo

gamble in sums rang ing all the way from
25 cents to $500.
The larger sums are infrequent. The
habitues Of the poolrooms are mostly
young clerks, workingmen and the smaller
fry of gamblers. But that the stakes are
usually modest is no indication of the net
profits of the business. These vary from
$500 to $500 day. A fair estimate is that
these poolrooms consume daily $1,000 of the
hard earnings or scant savings of the class
of men and boys that can least afford to
squander their money in this way.
But the monetary loss is trivial COM
pared to what the law calls the 'debauch-
ing influences" of the immoral and dig
creditable occupation" which, says the
law against the vice, 'entices our youth
into habits that ultimately effect their
ruin and degradation"
The City ordinance against pool-selling
except within a racetrack inclosure has
been tested in the Supreme Court and
found valid The specious method by
which the law is now subverted has not
been tested in the courts. The pool
sellers claim to have the advice of we'll
known criminal lawyer, which is to the
effect that conviction of the booksellers
cannot be had under the provisions of the
existing law.
But this il, only the booksellers version
of one legal opinion. The resorts have
been running wide open for three months

TRUST DEEDS PLACED ON FILE.
The Widow Given a Life Interest In
Forty Acres of Valuable
Land.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 17.-An autopsy
was held on the body of Elezer Frost, the
old pioneer who died Monday afternoon,
by Drs. Trueman and Burr last evening.
This was done at the request of Erwin
Frost, who was not satisfied with the
cause of his fathers death. Nothing was
found in the stomach to indicate poison
ing, but chemical analysis will be made.
This morning Coroner Secord summoned
the following jury for an inquest: j. S.
Cox, J. NJ Rarkins, C. Knapp, c. Bern
hardt, F. B. Bowker, P. c. Dahoney and
James Lemoney. Mrs. Dora Frost and
several others were examined, but nothing
startling was developed, and the inquest
was adjourned until tomorrow, when the
chemists will report upon the examination
OF the dead mans stomach.
William B. Winter this morning fled a
number of trust deeds made by Frost.
They are for portions OF 37S-acre ranch
on the cattle road, near this place. This
property alone is worth $4,000. By the
deeds FLED the widow is given life inter
est in forty acres of land and the children
are given like interests in divisions of
from ten to twenty acres each, the title of
these tracts to go to their children at the
death of those who have life interests.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY,
Entertainment at the New
Potrero School This
Evening.
Revised List of Principals of the
Various Schools-Few Trans
fers Made.

The City schools will open on Monday.
Most Of the teachers have returned from
their vacation visits and outings, and they
and their young charges have gained a
fund of strength for their respective duties
the coming year.
There will be two new school build
ings ready for use, the Douglas
and the Potrero. The James Lick
and North Cosmopolitan buildings
have been remodeled and generally
improved, and it is possible all the rooms
of the latter will not be ready for occu-
pancy by Monday. The Board of Educa-
ton has provided for that contingency by
renting Bersaglieri Hall, on Stockton
street, near Union, to accommodate some
of the pupils.
The number of teachers, including prin-
clpals and substitutes, is 904. Itis prob
able that few transfers may be made,
which will necessitate slight change in
the assignment list, which, in the main.
will remain intact.
The principals who will be at the head
OF the various schools are as follows:
South Cosmopolitan, Adolph Herbst; South
End Primary, Miss Ida E. Coles; South San
Francisco Primary, William w. Stone; Spring
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-18

and the police have made no attempt to
close them. At best the present evasion of
the law, if such it shall finally prove to be.
is merely technical evasion, and it is diff
fcult to understand how an untested tech
nicality, so far raised only by the gamblers
themselves, can operate to debar the police
from making every possible effort to en-
force the letter and spirit OF a very strin-
gent and plainly worded ordinance.
Yet such seems to be the case. None OF
the five resorts have been molested. They
are located as follows:
HARRY E. CORBETT & CO., 80 Ellis
street.
HENRY SCHWARTZ, Pauper alley.
w. L. KENNEDY, 103 Stockton street.
LEVY & CO.. II Ellis street.
A. B. BROYER, Fourth and Mission
streets.
These places are running wide open, and
there is no pretense OF secresy about their
operations. Crowds are coming in and
going out all afternoon, and from clock
till each place is crowded with most
Heterogeneous collection of gambling hui
manity almost to the point of suffocation.
These booksellers claim to be commits
sion men. On their tickets they print in

j. III. Miller to Withdraw From the
Firm Of Estee & Miller.
On August 1 the law firm OF Estee q
Miller will dissolve partnership, and At
torney Miller will thereafter continue his
practice in the Mills building.
The announcement of this change has
created considerable gossip in law circles,
ton except m utual agreement on the part
of the firms S members to separate.
Attorney Miller has a Notional practice
in patent law and will devote the greater
part of his time to that branch OF work.
Mr.. Estee's practice is much less extern
sive than that of his partner and in
altogether different lines. From the latter
reason there is no occasion for consultation
between them on their cases, and they
really have no interests whatever in COM
mon.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 17.-Oficer Prin-
diyille last evening arrested T. NJ Ward
on information received from San Fran
cisco that he was wanted for stealing a
wagon and two horses. Ward was arrested
at the Eclipse stables, where he had just
left the rig, and when taken to the City
Hall protested his innocence. He asked
that a telephone message be sent to Nc
Cleverty's stable in Oakland, and word
was received that he had rented a rig there
for month. Inquiry OF both the Oakland
and San Francisco police developed the
fact that there was no warrant there and
he was not wanted, and he was released.
This morning word was received from
San Francisco that Ward was wanted for
grand larceny there and that mistake
had been made last night when word was
sent TO release him. Chief Kidward i'm
mediately started out to find Ward, but he
had left on an early morning train, leaving
the rig here. Last night he tried to bor-
row $25 on the team and wagon, and fin
