the education of sehool-teachers. The normal system is practically sustained bs George Pcabody's millions. When gets upon its feet, the fund is placed at the disposal of some other state.
 Unusual, too, is the success with which the fund has been administered. It constantly increases. Its headquar- ters in the United States are main- tained at Washington. The trustees hold meetings annually. There Is vacancy among them now owing to the death of Robert c. Winthrop, the late venerable statesman of Massachusetts. This will be filled next autumn. Their forthcoming meeting-the centennial memorial one-will be held in Wash ington. Dr. Jabez L. M. Curry, who is practically actuary of the fund, and has charge of the distribution of 1t among the southern states, will deliver the memorial address. The school of geology at Yale will observe the day as that of a founder. Harvard holds re- union of the classes of ethnology and archaeology. Johns Hopkins will hear an address in honor of the day by it's
 
 the fund. President Eliot is to partici- pate in the exercises of the London aldermen who have formally dedicated the day to Peabody memorial ob- servances
 Grover Cleveland takes part in his capacity as trustee. He will make no address, however, but takes part in the Washington conference. The English ceremonies will be held on an imposing scale in the chamber of the county council, London, and also in Exeter . hall.
 Tennessee has made the centennial anniversary a holiday. The governor and the legislature take part in the celebration, which occurs in the capi- tai. Alabama holds observances in the state university. Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia have set apart the day for observance by the public schools.
 One of the results of the commemora- tion will be the inception of an entirely new fund for monument to George Peabody. It is to be an international undertaking and a quarter of million dollars Is to be subscribed. The only difference of opinion is as. to whether

yond a local character. But on February IS the world Is to witness commence ratory exercises on two continents in honor of man long dead, who never did thing to attain fame except give away money = his own hard-earned money.
 He gave away money as no man ever gave it before or since, and thus be- came almost an immortal. His one hundredth birthday comes on the day set apart for this international celebra. tion, and it has been made legal holi. day in American commonwealths and one of special observance by the Lon don county council. The English speaking world will unite to do honor to this mans memory. His name is George Peabody.
 Very few English speaking persons have not been influenced, directly or indirectly, by George Peabodys colos- sal fortune. That fortune is part of contemporary history. Its influence has grown with it's size and it's size has kept pace with the years. The great est names in English and American history are connected with its adminis- tration. They include, among others, William M. Evarts, the only survivor of George Peabody's original trustees, Grover Cleveland, William c. Endicott, Joseph H. Choate, J. Picrpont Morgan, Senator George Peabody Wetmore,
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-01-20

Melville w. Fuller, chief justice of the United States, and men of equal emil hence in England
 The southern states in particular are to unite in honoring Peabodys mem ory. The southern states have bene- fited most by his money. Three and half millions of George Peabody's money is to-day devoted to educating the children of the cotton belt. Yet there is no part of this country and Great Britain in which George Pea body's money is not doing good to some body. Peabody, Mass, has s200,000 of it in the town library and lyceum. The neighboring town of Danvers has large amount. Baltimore has s2,o00,- 900 and more in her institute London has s, ,OO0, ,00O given over to benefit the poor of the worlds metropolis. Har- yard university has s2O0,0 of the for tune in her endowments. Yale possess es even more in her scientific education al fund.-
 George Peabody began life as poor boy: Everybody knows the story of his life. It differs from the typical career of the poor boy risen to wealth only in its superlative success and in the manner in which the money was parted with. George Peabody gave away his fortune in his lifetime.
 February IS, 1795, is the exact date of his birth. It took place at South Danvers, now Peabody, in the Bay state. The biographers dwell with the usual encomiums upon his early industry. We are edified with the in- evitable detail concerning his early battle with poverty and the industry and probity displayed by him when he clerked in his uncles store in 1872. He went into partnership with mer- cantile trader the year following, doing business in New York and Baltimore He made money. The biographers tell us how he did it, and seem to know so well that one wonders they did not go and do likewise. By 1843 Peabody had competence and he set up in London as banker. Everything he touched, as they have it in the biographies, turned to gold. In spite of that, or ; perhaps on account of it, Peabody was always bimetallist. His predecessor, Midas, too, it may be remembered, found the gold standard inconvenient.
 No sooner had Peabody brought the golden avalanche down upon himself than he proceeded to get rid of it. How he got rid of it the world knows and will commemorate this coming February.
 It is not often that fund like the Peabody accomplishes it's object. But the dead mans millions have achieved that distinction. His money was pri- marily intended to give this country universal common school system. It has madcsour common school system truly national. The south.in particu- lar is indebted to 1t on this account. To-day the fund accomplishes much in

Likewise plaintiff upon information and be-
lief states that to thus injure and destroy
plaintiff, the defendants, the conspirators
ject and design of said unlawful combination
and conspiracy aforesaid, and to effect the
same by injuring and destroying plaintiff as
aforesaid, did cause complaint to be laid be-
fore said defendant Fisher, Justice of the
Peace at Woodland Cal, on or about the 18th
day of July, 1894, charging defendant, with
others, with the murder of one, Samuel Clarke,
near the town OF Broderick or Washington, in
said Yolo County, on the 18th day of July,
1894, at which time train of cars belonging

FAILURE OF B. MISH.
F. TopIitz the Chief Creditor and Local
and New York Firms
Interested.

B. Mish, who was in the retail millinery
business at 545 Market street, has failed.
On Tuesday he called meeting of his
creditors and stated to them that he had not
been able to meet his payments, and OF
fered to make a settlement at 80 cents on
the dollar. STANCE & Janik attached the
stock and the creditors are in possession:
Mr.. Mish stated last evening that he
owes about $500. OF this $500 is for mer-
chandise and the bulk of that amount is to
f. Toplitz, who is his chief creditor. He
owes money to several firms in this City
and New York for merchandise. The re-
mainder of his liabilities are for money
borrowed for the carrying on of the busi-
ness. His mother, Mrs. Sarah Mish, who
is in the millinery business at 133 Kearny
street, is another creditor. He said no in
ventory of the stock had been taken and
he could not even approximate the assets.
B. Mish was partner in the firm of P.
Mish & Co., wholesale millinery, which
failed with heavy liabilities few years
ago. Their place of business was on Mar
Ket street, opposite Sansome.

TIRED OF LIVING.
Katie Morrison Took a Dose of Nor
phine in Bush-Street
House..

A young woman named Katie Morrison
was taken to the Receiving Hospital yes
terday morning from house at $40 Bush
street, suffering from the effects of dose
of morphine, which she undoubtedly took
with the intention of committing suicide
During the evening she had stated to
other inmates of the house that she in
tended to die, but they did not pay much
attention, as she had said the same thing
before. Even when she swallowed the con-
tents of small box the act was looked
upon as joke. In a very short time,
though, she became drowsy, and then un-
conscious, and it was then that the Re-
ceiving Hospital was notified, and she was
taken out.
Her condition upon arrival was critical,
and for two hours the physicians worked
hard to maintain an artificial respiration.
She did not recover consciousness, and all
day laid in a comatose condition. In ad-
dition to the effects of the morphine, the
physicians say that she had high fever,
probably produced by excessive drinking
and late hours.
The girl arrived from an interior town
some two months ago, but the people with
whom she lived, nor any one in the City as
far as known, can tell anything of her an
tecedents. She is only 20 years old.
AT o'clock last night the woman
breathed her last, not having once recov-
cred consciousness. Her body was taken
to the Morgue.
