CALIFORNIAN GAMES.
L Share Of Valley Railroad Stock
will Be the First
Prize.

At a meeting of the Caledonian Club in
Scottish Hall last evening the games COM
mittee reported that the offer of share of
Valley railroad stock as a first prize for
the tug-of-war contest at the annual gath
ering and games at Shell Mound on the
3Oth inst. had brought forward many ac-
ceptances to the challenge of the Caledonian
Club team. Among those accepting were
the Healdsburg, American, German, Swed-
ish, Irish and Thistle teams.
The literary. committee reported every
thing in readiness for the complimentary
social entertainment of the club next Fri
day night at Scottish Hall. The games
committee reported in favor of appropri-
ating $500 for the officers tent on the day
of the games. On motion of eA-Chief
Angus Mcleod invitations were ordered
issued to all sister societies, as likewise the
press.
A committee, consisting of Angus Nc
Leod, r. S. Falconer and John M. Duncan,
was appointed to purchase piece of land
somewhere on the line of the new Valley
railroad suitable for future uses of the club.

A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
Santa Clara's Sheriff Was Not Respon-
sib1e for the Escape of
Chinese Murderer.

1t is believed that Chew All Fong, Chi
nese murderer from San Jose is returning
to his native land on the steamer Gaelic.
His departure is sincerely deplored by the
officers of Santa Clara County, and by
Sheriff Lyndon in particular who has been
uniustly blamed for the criminals escape.
Just before the Gaelic sailed Deputy
Sheriff of Santa Clara County and one of
Captain Lees detectives searched the YES
sci for the murderer, butNdid not find him.
There were Several hundred Mongolians
on board, and as the detective had no time
to spare, their failure to find a man who.
after all. may not have been on the vessel,
occasioned no surprise on the part of those
who know with what ease the celestial
criminal conceals his identity. Next
morning the newspapers stated that it was
Sheriff Lyndon himself who lad searched
the vessel, and that he was in a measure
responsible for the murderer's escape.
The fact is that Sheriff Lyndon was not
in this City on the day of the Gaelic's de-
parture ana knew nothing about the es-
cape of the fugitive, and his deputy, who
was here. did all in his power to arrest the
criminal.

ARE SEEKING PLACES.
Democrats and Others Anxiously Await
the Distribution of Patronage
Destined for LAWYERS.


The appointment of Judge Daley as
Code Commissioner has left two lucrative
places that must be filled by lawyers. One
is a deputyship in the Attorney General s
office; the other is the place of secretary to
the Code Commission, which is worth $500
month.
The Democrats think they should receive
both places. AS there are two Democratic
Code Commissioners they look for Demo-
cratic secretary, at least.
Peter Shields, who has served in the
State Law Library for some time, is work
ing for the place. He is young and able
attorney of Sacramento with a strong
backing. The friends of Andrew Branch con-
fidently predict his appointment. Though
Mr.. Branch is Republican, he is warm
personal friend of both Judge Daley and
Attorney-General Fitzgerald. He is well
fitted to do good work on the commission,
and feels that as the commission was
created to be strictly non partisan he has a
good chance of being appointed.
The withdrawal of Judge Daley from his
place as chief deputy to the Attorney Gen
eral promotes the other three gentlemen in
that Office. For the place of third deputy
there are many applicants, but as yet no
choice has been made

THE JUDGES ADVICE.
Ed Winner, Boy Flower-PeddIer, Told
How to Continue Making an
Honest Living.

Ed Winner is boy who says els trying
to earn an honest living by selling fow-
ers, and Judge Low will help him in his
praiseworthy effort.
On Friday evening Winner was standing
on the northeast corner of Market and
Kearny streets. with his basket of flowers
in front of him. Policeman Lynch ar
rested and took him to the City Prison for
obstructing the sidewalk.
The case was heard in Judge Lows
court yesterday morning, and after the
police officer had given his evidence the
Judge asked Winner what he had to say
for himself
81 was selling flowers said Winner, "to
make an honest living and did not know
l was breaking che law"
"Yes," replied the Judge, "but it seems
they don't want you to make an honest
living. / will fine you SIS without an alter
native, and my advice to you is to keep
moving about with your basket of flowers
and they cannot arrest you. hope you
will continue to make an honest living.''

An Examination by Two Ply
SiCianS Goes to Show That
He Is Sane.
The Murderer Of Cashier HerriCk
Likely to Be Resentenced
Tomorrow.

Fredericks, the murderer of Herrick
cashier of the San Francisco Savings
Union, is not insane.
At least Doctors Mays and Robertson
were OF that opinion after examining the
prisoner in the County Jail yesterday.
When he left the State prison several
days ago Fredericks acted in a very violent
manner. According to his jailers, he had
not eaten for several days, but his strength
was not impaired in any way.
When the physicians called upon Fred.
ericks yesterday he was pacing up and
down his cell and refused to talk He to.
tally ignored them, and nothing would
tempt him into making direct answer
Doctors Mays and Robertson made min
ute examination of the prisoner, and after
consultation came to the conclusion he is
shamming. His education has been neg
lected in that particular line and he does
not even understand the rudiments o1
feigning insanity, SO they say.
Fredericks continues to eat, and be
speaks to jailers whenever they question
him, but to visitors he is repellent and posi-.
lively refuses to answer questions.
Talking about the case yesterday after.
noon, DR.. Mays said that there was nc
reason to suppose that Fredericks was in.
sane. He could not reconcile the mur-
derer's actions with the theory of insanity
Fredericks will sit for hours and stare
right before him. DR.. Mays says that in
sane people, unless they be very violent
will readily answer questions addressed tc
them.
Another examination will probably be
held to-day in order to convince the physi
clans of the accuracy of their conclusions
Monday next Fredericks is again to ap.
pear in court, and Judge Murphy will re-
sentence him.
The physicians will make a report as to
the sanity of the prisoner, and he will then
probably be returned to San Quentin to
await the day of execution.

THE L|FE-SAV|NG SERVICE,
Three More Stations Are to Be
Established on the Coast
at Once.
MEMS COMFORT PARAMOUNT,
New Uniforms for Surfmen's Win
ter Use Have Been Ordered
for July Next.

Captain G. A. Abbey, Inspector-General
OF the live-saving stations in the United
States, and Captain w. G. Coulson, the
Pacific Coast Inspector and Superintendent
of Construction, have just completed an ex-
haustive investigation of the various sta
tions on the Pacific Coast. At the Fort
Point, South Side and Golden Gate Park
stations the men turned out and gave an
exhibition of their skill in launching and
handling the boats. Inspector-General
Abbey was pleased to commend the
efficiency of the surfmen and said they
were as fine body as any in the employ
of Uncle Sam.
The inspectors have recommended the
establishment of new stations at Grays

Harbor, Yaquina Bay and Cape Disap-
pointment, north of the Columbia River.
Yaquina Bay station is an assured fact as
bids for the erection of the necessary
buildings and boats have been called for
and will close on the 31st inst.
Major Thomas ]. Blakeney, superin-
tendent of the life-saving stations on the
coast, and Captain w. c.. Coulson visited
Grays Harbor last week to select site.
They have agreed upon the best
location, and their recommendation has
been forwarded to Washington. 1t is
almost certain that their suggestions will
be followed, and Grays Harbor may expect
to have life-saving station fully
equipped early in next July. visit will
be paid to Cape Disappointment during
this month and a site selected there.
During the various inspections Captain
Coulson read to the men the amended
regulations issued by the General Super
intendent with the approval of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The new uniform
jacket is a dark blue jersey or flannel coat,
in place OF the guernsey or cardigan jacket
now worn.
1t is SO made that in extremely cold
weather it can be used to protect the ears.
On the right sleeve of the coat will be en-
broidered the emblem of the life-saving
service, the life buoy, oar and boat hook,
and on the left sleeve the number of the
surfman will appear. The vest, trousers,
| overcoat and cap will all be made from
material similar to that of the coat, and it
| is thought that the comfort of the men will
be much added to thereby.
In talking about the change yesterday
Captain Coulson said: ut will affect the
surfmen employed on the Atlantic Coast
much more than it will here. During the
past severe winter the ears of many of the
surfmen were frozen, some on patrol duty
and many more while engaged in the work
of rescuing shipwrecked crews. On the
Pacific Coast the men will not use the win
ter regulation suit, as our winters are not
severe enough to warrant them.
1.-The new rules will go into effect on
July l next and the men can get their
uniforms either from Government tailor
or from private individual. If one or all
of the men in my division come to me and
show that the material they are offered by
private firms is as good as the Government
article they can go ahead and have their
suits made where they please. l think the
| new regulations will materially add to the
comfort and appearance of the men.
bids for the new life-saving station at
Yaquina Bay will be all in by the 31st inst,
and those for Grays Harbor will be called
for in the near future. Just as efficient
stations as the ones at South Side, Fort
Point and Golden Gate Park will be estab-
liShed." /"

and Uniform Weights Through
out the City.
B'nai Birth Hall was crowded with re-
tail coal-dealers Thursday night, who were
assembled to form union for mutual pro-
lection.
Of the 800 odd coaldealers of San Fran
cisco there were 1872 represented at the
meeting. W. H. Wiseman presided.
The entire time was spent in the discus
sion and adoption of constitution and by
laws.
The union will meet at the same hall
next Friday evening, when the officers will
be elected, and the remaining coal-dealers
of the City are expected to be present.
The objects of the union are twofold.
The first and paramount is to protect the
dealer. The wholesalers have promised to
assist. Ii any merchant should sell below
the scale of prices fixed by the union the
wholesalers will be notified and will sell
the offender no coal except at retail
prices. The same penalty will be inflicted
upon any dealer whose customers can show
that he has been selling them short

hopes to secure the support of citizens OF
all classes

BARCLAY HENLEY'S LETTER
Origin of the Unsubstantiated
Doodle Charges Against
Supervisors.
THE CIVIC FEDERATION ANGRY.
Members Declare That Henley Has
Dropped From the Position Of
Legal Adviser.

The members of the Civic Federation are
angry with Barclay Henley, and forcible
expressions OF indignation are being in
dulged in concerning his statements before
the Grand Jury on Friday.
Henley, it will be remembered, not only
failed to substantiate the charges against
the Supervisors which he had made, but
accused the Civic Federation people OF
disappearing certain matters upon
which his allegations were based.
He ascribed the whole muddle to the fact
that membe of the federation had sent
him before the Grand Jury to give infor-
nation relative to the illegal granting Of
franchises by the Supervisors, which had
no foundation in fact, and OF which the

NOT A LAST FAREWELL,
Ysaye'S Matinee Concert al
the Baldwin Was Com
pIete Success.
The Great Viollnist viii Play Again
Before Leaving San
Francisco.

The Ysaye matinee at the Baldwin Thea
ter yesterday afternoon was as brilliant as
the former concerts had BEEN A number
of local musicians who have attended all
Ysaye's recitaIs were present, and the rest
Of the audience was composed principally
of ladies.
Ysaye gave an emotional and yet thor
oughly classic Interpretation of the
Beethoven concerto. The cadenzas of his
own composition were entirely suited
to his brilliant style. The Bach "Cha-
come" was played with classic beauty by
the great violinist, and the musicians led
the applause it received. AS an encore
Ysaye played Wi eniawski's s'Airs Russes,"
and when the audience still asked for more
he gave them an tude by Paganini. The
andante and finale from Vieuxtemps' First
Concerto was another brilliant piece of
playing which brought Ysaye great ova-
ton. His good-nature and lack of affecta-
ton were again shown by the fact that he
was willing to give a final encore after the
long and exacting programme. AS soon as
Ysave appeared with his violin the stream
of departing people came to pause and
stood cheerfully while he played Sara
safe gypsy dance.
Lachaume yesterday performed "fan-
taisie ballet, =" for pianoforte and orchestra,
by G. Piern. The work, which was eff
fective, showed plainly that the composer
would fain have trodden in the footsteps
of Wagner when he made the "Meister-
singers" Lachaume also played Chopin
"Polonaise," with unnecessary expendi-
ture of muscular force, though portions of
his Chopin encore were performed grace
fully and delicately.
For the admirers of Ysaye's playing who
regret that his four concerts have come to
an end, there is balm in Gilead, as Ysaye
is now announced to give three farewell
concerts at the California Theater at the
end of this month
