Another season of crop failure in
shat Oklahoma country and there
will be such an exodus from that
wind blown region as will almost
parallel the insane rush into that
section when the doors Of settle.
!Daeut were opened by Uncle Sam,
Already has the reaction com.
aneuced and hundreds have de-
parted from the doomed section. 1t
can stand one crop failure in five
years and live, but more is certain
to squeeze the life out OF every.
thing. That is the difference be-
tween that section and this. One
good year in five will support US
but it takes four out OF five to do it
mp there.

Texas Is split in two sections on

MEMORIAL DAY,

The Memorial Day exercises OF
yesterday, full account OF which
was given in last evenings LIGHT,
were unusually interesting. Some
new features We're introduced into
the observances OF the day which
were very appropriate, while all
the attending circumstances were
such as to crown the exercises with
real effect. The grafton Of Col. c.
B. Peck, OF Houston was fully in
keeping with the spirit and memo
ries Of the hour and was listened to
with marked attention. The adj.
dress was conceived upon those
broad and chivalirus lines which
have marked the real G. A. r
sentiment since the close OF the
war, which concediDg nothing to
the spirit Of disunion cheerfully
comedies everything to the courage
and devotion and honesty and SOL
dierly quality Of the "boys in gray"
In its prophecies Of the growing
harmony Of the future the Grafton
was as happy as in its retrospect
of what has already come to pass.
Capt. Winthrop's poem was a
very fitting tribute to the dead and
this was most feelingly expressed.
The entire ceremonial service from
commencement to close was appro.
pirate, deeply sympathetic and re-
plete with the loftier feelings that
are growing into acceptance at
both North and South as properly
marking this day day in which
the virtues and courage Of the dead
are alone remem bered.

The recent decision OF the judge
OF the United States court for the

that the Choctaw chiefs cannot

be, that it be wet.

A SAD CASE.

While Five Little Children Cry
for Bread.

LOT Bread.
horrible case of moral depravity de.
veloped last night in the arrest OF A, ].
Konkle and his wife Nina, who were
booked at the Central police station on
plain drunk charges Konkle is brick
layer by trade, and when he was paid off
yesterday he and his wife proceeded to
celebrate the occasion by filling up on
steam beer.
konkle lives at 164 Clara street, and
when Officers Lynch and Cassin passed by
the place last night their ears caught the
sound of loud talking, in which profanity
was the predominating element. An in
vestigation revealed Mrs Konkle living on
rough couch, trembling aud dirty. in
what appeared to be a drunken stupor,
while the husband was walking the floor,
uttering at each step the most foul oaths
imaginable. On the floor were four dirty.
ragged, half-starved children, while in a
cradle near by was a little 18-months-old
baby girl, sleeping peacefully, though its
plnched drawn face gave substantial evil
dence of lack OF proper nourishment.
With considerable difficulty the mother
was awakened, when the entire lot was
brought to the Central station. The neigh
bors say that Konkle and his wife were
constant drinkers, and that it is common
occurrence for the children to go hungry.
Mrs. Konkle had a severe cut on the left
hand, which she claims to have inflicted
herself while attempting to split some
klndllng-wood. Her wounds were dressed
at the Receiving Hospital. The children
will probably be cared for by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

DEATH OF J. \. ROSEWkLD,
HEART FAILURE CARRIES OFF A
WELL-KNOWN MUSICAL
CONDUCTOR.
WAS A NOTED ORCHESTRA LEADER
BOTH IN EUROPE AND
AMERICA.

Professor Jacob H. Rosewald, ex-School
Director and musician, died Yesterday
morning between and O'Clock at his
residence, 922 Geary street, of heart fail
ure. He first became iii at s o'clock the
evening before, but partially recovered, to
sink back into Inconsistencies, and
finally death came seven hours later
Professor Rosewald was born in Balti-
more May "a, 1S4l the only son of Judah
Rosewald. From childhood he displayed
passionate love for music, and was per-
mitted to indulge his natural inclination
He received his early musical training in
the United States, and afterward studied
at Stuttgart under Professor Edmund
Sanger. For seven years he was superin-
tendent of music in the public schools of
Baltimore and concertmaster of the Pea
body orchestra. He also ably filled the
position of director of the oldest singing
society in Baltimore-the Liederkranz
Subsequently he was concert-master and
conductor of opera in Mayence, and later
on he travelled in the capacity of musical
director of several of the great singers, one
OF whom was Emma Abbott and her opera
company, with whom he remained for
three years.
The delicate state of his health i'm

where he lived since 1884. Here he was
constantly employed giving instruction OH

was drunken captain in the cabin and a
mutinous crew forward.
When the ship was fortnight out a hur-
ricane came up and all hands were called
to take in sail. Before this could be done
many of them were blown away and every
thing movable on deck was washed away.
The storm continued and Norton was on
deck night and day, while the skipper
drank whisky by the tumblerfuI and
cursed everybody from the poopdeck. On
the evening of the 14th of February the
hurricane ragged again, and while attempt
ing to help one of the men who was hold
ing on to q stanchion Mate Norton was
swept away and drowned.
The crew was simply paralyZed by the
disaster, and when they came to their
senses it was too late to attempt to save
Norton. Left without an officer the men
kept on the course laid down for them. and
when Captain Robertson came on deck
partially sober they got him to take an OBJ
servation.
The loss of the mate sobered the skipper
and he attempted to fix up his log. He
wanted the crew to swear to it and they
refused. From February to May he never
touched liquor, but then the craving be-
came too great and he broke out again.
On this occasion there was some excuse
for him, as he had been constantly on the
rack for nearly three months. He had to
answer a call at a moments notice.
On May 2 while drunk, he assaulted the
crew and drove them into the forecastle at
the point OF pistol. An hour later the
men rallied and catching the captain I'M
awares dlsarmed and locked him up in his
ca bin. The unfortunate man drank and
drank until he was crazy and then took O.
dose of carbolic acid. When the boatswain
went 10 awaken him the next morning he
discovered the dead BODY
The Aberfoyle was thus left without
navigator. and all the men knew was that
they were somewhere off the coast of Aus
tralla. They would keep the ship on her
course all day and at night would take in
sail. On May l6, when they thought thew
were COO miles off shore they discovered
that they were within short distance of
the coast. The Australian coaster Taglia-
ferro noticed their signals OF distress and
sent the second officer on board to assist
them. The ship was taken to Melbourne,
where her cargo was discharged From
there she was taken to Newca stie, n. S.W.,
where she loaded coal for san Francisco.
The Aberfoyle was built at Dumbarton
in 1861, and before this unfortunate voyage
had been one of the luckiest ships in the
Cowper line. She is 258 feet inches long,
SO feet 1 inch broad and % feet inches
deep. Captain Wallace, who is in COM

ALONG THE WA TER FRONT.
NARROW ESCAPES OF FERRY AND
RIVER STEAMERS IN THE
FOG.
THE LEADER AND MCDOWELL
A RATE WAR BETWEEN HERE AND
HUMBOLDT BAY Is Now IN
PROGRESS.

The fog was very heavy on the bay yes
terday morning and in consequence there
was very nearly a collision. The steamers
from the other side of the bay were only
run on an hourly schedule, but with all
precautions the Oakland and Tamalpais
came near to running each other down.
1t was on the A. NJ. trip and the cap
tain of the Oakland lost his bearings. In
stead of making the foot of Market street
he ran his vessel in at Washington street
When he discovered his mistake he backed
out and ran foul of the Tamalpais. The
latter was backing out on her way to
Sausalitc. Both steamers were under a
slow bell or else the collision might have
been a serious one.
While the Tamalpais was attempting to
get out of the way of the Oakland the
Tiburon came along, and Captain Nc
kenzie had to bring his vessel to full
stop to find out where he was. Just at that
time the river steamer J. D. Peters backed
out from the Washington-stree wharf, and
soon the four craft were making the front
reverberate with their whistles Finally
the tangle was straightened out and all
the boats proceeded on their way.
Captain w. II. Mills of the stevedoring
firm of Herman & Mills returned from q
trip to Europe yesterday. He had a most
enjoyable time, but found that as far as
the making of contracts with ship-owners
was concerned there was no business
The competition between the Pomona
and the steam schooners Weeott and
North Fork for the trade OF Humb oldt
County is growing fast and furious. The
Pomona, owned by Goodall. Perkins &
Co.. is sumptuously fitted out and fair
passenger rate has been charged. The
other boats have made deep cut in both
freight and passenger business, however
and now the owners of the Pomona have
met it. When the war first began the
Pomona was only making trip once
week. Then the Humboldt was wrecked
and the company decided to make trip
every five days. Now that the steam
schooners are in the field the Pomona will
make trip every Jour days.
The Pacific Coast steamship. Companv's
steamer Willamette Valley sailed for Mex
lean ports yesterday. She was loaded to
the gunwales with freight, much of which
was for La PaZ and other places on the
Gulf Of California that were devastated by
the recent hurricane. The terrible suffer-
ing of the homeless people was explained
to Messrs. Goodall, Perkins & Co., and in
consequence all the merchandise intended
for the relief of the natives was carried free.
The old Coos Bay is cutting into the
Southsrn Pacific traffic. Not long ago she
was heightened forty feet and refittcd

between here and Monterey and connect
