No Complaint to Make.

Mrs. Pete Amsterdam of Harlem is one
of the most philanthropic ladies on Man
haitian island. She is always hunting up
distressed people in order to comfort them,
and it often happens that her kind atten-
tions are not properly appreciated.
Not long since she visited an unfortunate
woman who lived in dilapidated shanty
on the rocks near One Hundred and Six
teenth street. The woman's head was tied
up, and her eye was blackened, and she had
one arm in a sling.
II hear" said Mrs. Pete Amsterdam,
that your brutal husband beats you, and
l have called to see if we can not have him
punished"
You are mistaken, madam; my husband
never beats me. We have lived together
10 years, and he has never beaten me yet, "
and the woman adjusted her arm in the
sling.
II am so glad to hear that / am mis-
taken" replied the female philanthropist
NO" continued the woman sadly, put
ting the bandage over the eye, "he has new
er struck me a blow yet. He has kicked
me in a dozen different places 40 different
times; he has taken me by my two ear,
and bumped my head on the floor or OF

CAUSED BY PAIN.
How the "Man-Eating" Stall
lion Jim WiCkS Came to
His Death.
Agony Rather Than Temper Caused
His Frantic Struggles With
Gleason.

The thousands of people who saw Jim
Wicks,t the so-called "man-eating" stallion,
rear, struggle and fight before falling over
and injuring himself so that he had to be
shot on Sunday last were almost unanl-
nous in pronouncing him the most vicious
animal they had ever seen, and few felt
any pity when a revolver bullet put an end
to his career.
The truth of the matter was that his
plunges and struggles were of agony rather
than rage, and Secretary Holbrook of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals was unwittingly permitting an
exhibition beside which the cruelties of
pigeon shooting or coursing were as moth
ing. After the final fall had SO injured the
great horse that it was found necessary to
kill him his head was removed and sent to
the California Veterinary College, where
the surgeons dissected it to ascertain the
exact cause of death.
1t was supposed that the neck was
broken, but the autopsy showed that the
vertebrse were intact, and that fracture
of the skull on the rear side, just on the
line of the eye, was accountable for the
stallion 8 failure to rise after the final fall,
though the opinion was expressed that the
The most important discovery made by
the surgeons, however, was the one which
accounted for the stalIion's frantic efforts
to escape from Gleason, and showed the
agony he must have endured before death
came to his relief
1t was found that almost every tooth In
his head was terribly liberated and
when these facts were made known to
Mr.. Holbrook he Immediately began ar
ranging for more critical inspection of
Gleason's exhibition with the stallion
Dixie, which is advertised to take place at
Central Park to-day.
Il had no idea of the condition of the
stallion's mouth" said Mr.. Holbrook yes
terday, 'or l would never have permitted
the exhibition to go on. AS long as the
horse was simply kept from injuring the
Snowman without being hurt himself 1
could not interfere, for, from all appear
ances, no cruelty was being practiced.
This occurrence just shows how peo-
pie often are mistaken with dumb animals
and look upon their struggles of agony as
exhibitions of vicious temper.
Should anything of the kind occur to-
day you may be sure that the exhibition
will be stopped. Professor Gleason has
said that he will sue for 500 900 if we inter-
fere with him, but we shall not take
chances OF any such thing happening
again."

tion to remove the grammar grades of the
Richmond School to the Hamilton School,
corner Scott and Geary streets. If this is
done it means that the grammar-grade
scholars must either walk mile and
half, pay carfare or else forego grammar
school education.
II have requested the Board of Educa-
tion not to take final action in the latter
until the residents of Richmond are given
an opportunity TO appear before them and
thoroughly demonstrate why such a
change would be disastrous to this DIS
trict," said Thomas G. Parker, president
of the Point Lobos Improvement Club, yes
terday. 10 take the school as it stands
to-day and reduce it to the grade of pri-
mary would be extremely unjust to them.
eff the Board of Education is seeking to
reduce expenses there are other ways of
doing it, without hampering the growth
and prosperity of this or any other section
OF the City. A full delegation of Rich.
mond residents will appear before the
board at its next regular meeting, and |
believe that when they fully understand
the situation Richmond Grammar School
will be allowed to remain as it is.

read over his pages and saw where his ex-
preston had been crude, his utterance
feeble. He could even pick flaws in the
logic.
He locked up his manuscript and went
away. When he returned, having eaten
faith in the Idea was again strong. He
knew that he had a message for the people
But meantime his purse was nearly
empty. He had not even the money to
buy paper on which to make fair copy of
his manuscript. He went to the city
do. Even the market detail was assigned.
Then manuscript that he had thought
was certain of acceptance came back to
him. 1t, too, had been full of thought.
He had sent it forth that it might speak to
the people of hope.
While he held it in his hand his friend
came again to visit him.
"See here" the rich man said, 81 wish
to advise you as a friend. l have been
thinking over this Idea of yours. 1 was
afraid you might have sent it out. I hate
to see you ruin your future. This is no
time for Utopian dreams. Let me help
you. What would you probably receive
for your article if any editor were so
foolish, say, as to accept it?"
The Thinker named an amount. His
friend laughed at the smallness of the
sum.
II will give you double that" he said,
'for your manuscript. No? Think it
over. See am advising you as friend.
| will give you three times the amount.
l have faith in you. There is future
before you. l will not let you mar it.

ness long before that time. My word for
it, you will live to thank me-
The Thinker was beset with doubt. He
glanced at the manuscript that had Just
come back to him. In this, too, he had
had faith, but faith had availed him not.
He was silent for long time. Finally he
said: "Y ou may have the manuscript. Do
with it as you will, only l will not take
your money"
But the rich man insisted. A bargain
was bargain. He was taking what had
cost labor. He would pay for it. At last
he gained his point. He took the manu-
script and laid it in the empty CRATE. Then
he touched lighted match to it and
when the last leaf had curled over into a
fantastic, blackened mass, he went away.
The Thinker sat very still, watching the
charred, shapeless leaves in the CRATE He
noted how every now and then one would
suddenly quiver and heave little, then
whlrl away up the chimney. Presently he
picked up the pile of gold pieces the rich
man had left on the table and counted
them. He put them in his pocket and
went out to his dinner.
But the Idea went with him. It shaped
itself in flaming letters upon every wall he
passed. He heard it from the mouth of
every speaker to whom he listened It
came between him and the paper when
ever he would write. 1t danced before
him on the printed page when he would
read. 1t haunted his brain by night. 1t
glided by his side by day. Sometimes it
shouted itself into his ears, drowning
every other sound. Again it sank to low,
despairing wall, like the moan of a tor
tured soul.
He could not work. He could not think.
He could not sleep. He tried to undo his
bargain, but the rich man would not con-
sent, and the Thinker went away cursing
him.
At last the Idea sank into quiet. The
Thinker could not recall it, nor remember
its portent. It was wholly lost. For
time he was glad. He thought he would
do other work. But his mind was power
less. He became seized with a frenzy of
desire to find the lost Idea. He grew pale
and haggard. He ceased all attempt at
work, and went about among his ac-
quaintances, asking of them, anxiously,
whether they had seen his Idea.
In the incurable ward of public asy-
lum man sat, eagerly turning the leaves
of books. About him were all sorts of
books, books with pictures, books with
none. When he had scanned the pages of
one he hastily cast it aside and began the
examination of another. When he fin
ished the last one he began again upon the
first.
"He is perfectly harmless" the superin-
tendent explained to visitor. He fancies
he has lost an Idea, and he is looking for
it. 'Tis peculiar case"
Then to the man he said
Here, Graham, is a new book / have
brought you."

AFFILIATED COLLEGES.
Mayor Sutro Has Made Them Another
Offer of a Large Tract of
Land.

There was a meeting of the affiliated COL
leges site committee on Friday to consider
the latest offer for site made to them. It
was rendered as gift under certain con-
oitions, as stated in the following COM
munication addressed to the committee by
Mayor Sutro:
SAN FRANCISCO, July "a, 1895
Gentlemen: A number of sites, more or less
suitable for the proposed buildings for the af-
fliated colleges, have been offered to you l
have myself offered several. The great objec-
ton that has been raised against most of these
is that they are too small for the intended pur-
pose.
You probably know that, some years ago, I
reserved magnificent site, consisting of 26 SO
acres, for the Sutro Library, which was spe-
cially selected for its admirable protection
against general confagration (no matter how
much the city may expand) by hills that rise
on all sides.
This site is situated on the south side of ]
street, at an elevation of 400 feet above the sea
level and 125 feet above Golden Gate Park. 1t
been planted with trees that form beautiful
grove, and commands superb view of the
park, the ocean, the Golden Gate, Marin County
and portion of Contra Costa County.
1t is less than two blocks from Golden Gate
Park and is directly accessible by two railway
lines, and a third will probably pass in front of
the premises, shortly. Its distance from the
new City Hall in an airline Is 13, 900 feet, or q
little over two miles and half.
hereby offer, free of cost this whole prop
erty to the University of California for the
erection of buildings for the affiliated colleges,
only reserving therefrom q piece of land for
the Sutro Library.
The erection of these buildings will not much
impair the hbrary's security against fire, as
the college building may be constructed to a
large extent in fire-proof manner and placed
distance of more than 100 feet from the
library building.
The first prerequisite for college is a library
" q w QYto -,
have the college located in its immediate
proximity.
Some of the details in regard to the reserva-
ton Tor the library the grades the location of
the colleges, etc. will have to be left for future
discussions and agreement, but do not think
that more than six acres will be required for
the library buildings.
Ihls, OF course, is an opportunity for the uni
verslty, and, through it, for the affiliated col
leges, to obtain property of great value,
WnIch Is unsurpassed in location and adapt
aplllty tor your purposes, and if you desire to
nave me meet you to answer any questions
will be delighted to attend at any time you
may mention. Respectfully yours
ADoLPH SUTRo.
SO far as location is concerned the site
apparently met with the approval of the
members, but some of the conditions were
found objectionable. Just what these are

S sTERNBERG OFFERS BAIL.
The Prisoner Asks for His Release on
the Plea That He Has
Consumption.

Louis Sternberg, the man accused OF
cplonizing in the last election, is reported
by his attorneys to be in an early stage Of
consumption. The attorneys asked that
the prisoner be released on bail Of $15, 900,
but Judge Wallace said he was in doubt
as to his Jurisdiction, the case having been
appealed to the Supreme Court.
An opinion of the Supreme Court in a
similar case, that of the People VS.. Marks,
was quoted, but Judge Wallace found that
the opinion was one he had written when
he was Chief Justice, and he did not know
what the present court would decide in the
case.
The statement about the illness of Stern
berg was affirmed in atfidavits by DR..
Rosenstirn and DIR. Bushnell, but Judge
Wallace continued the matter until Mon
day, that thorough examination of the
prisoner might be made.
