TIM M'GRATH DROWNED,
The Well = Known Middle
Weight Goes Down at
the Cliff House.
. He Was Fishing From Small Boat
and Was Caught by the
Undertow.

The well-known middle-weight trainer,
Timothy McGrath, was drowned off the
Cliff yesterday afternoon, while out fishing
in small boat.
. His body was drawn beneath the surface
by the undertow.
McGrath had been training Joe King at
: the beach for the middle-weight fight with
Henry Peppers which is to occur at the
Colma- Athletic Club in San Mateo on
Friday, the oath inst.

having put in winning condition a num-

among them being Young Mitchell,
Charley Turner, Denny Kelleher, Johnny
Van Heest, Kid George Lavigne,
the Hmysterious" Billy Smith of Boston,
Spider" Jimmy Kelly and Jim Barron,
the Australian. He had one fight to a
finish himself, which was little over
two months ago, with Mark Cohen, the
barber, In Hegerty's barn.
He was a native of Ireland, born in 1872,
and had been for some time on this
coast.
He lived recently at 203 Powell street.
The sporting fraternity held him in high

resolutions were drafted, coupled with an
appeal to the actors that the auxiliary be
taken into the lodge on an equal footing
with the male members. The ladies declared
that there was not sufficient number of
actresses in San Francisco to form an inde-
pendent lodge, and that the only way thev
could thoroughly evidence their loyalty to
the order was through close and actual
afhllatlon with the parent body. AS vet
the actors have made no answer to this
appeal, but it is generally believed that,
rather than see the auxiliary go to pieces,
they will be admitted to full membership.
In fact, it has been announced that the
ladies will he given active membership,
though nothing official will be known until
the next meeting of the association.

yesterday, land if the association should
refuse US membership it means that the
auxiliary must go to pieces. | am conf

THE CROP OF NOVELS.
Fiction Forms the Majority of Manu-
scripts Sent to Publishers.

Fiction Forms the Majority of Manu-
scripts Sent to Publishers.
Novels form the largest part of the book
manuscripts received by publishing houses.
Out OF 100 manuscripts received during a
recent fortnight by a prominent publish
ing firm sixty-two were novels. The same
publisher told me that sometimes the per-
centage of novels would reach Is per cent.
This tendency for novel writing is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that the greatest
''hits" In the literary world are made with
novels, and this stimulates the average
writer to work in this field.
OF all these novels it is plain to be seen
from the figures given in the preceding
paragraph that scores must be written be-
fore one is accepted. And even il writer
has novel accepted the percentage of sue
cess is decidedly against him. During
this investigation process | selected fifteen
recently published novels issued by six
different houses, and | learned that the
entire number printed of these fifteen
novels was Al 900 copies, or about 200
copies of each. And in this fifteen 5000
copies were printed of one novel-reallv
the only successful novel of the lot. 1t is
safe to say that of these fifteen novels the
average sale of each will not reach 1000
copies. But giving that number to each.
the novel selling at 81, the author would
receive less than 500 for his manuscript.

While Engaging Him in ConVersa-

and Seize Him.

]. S. Mcintosh, keeper of saloon at Nc
Allister and Leavenworth streets, was
making ready to close his doors at 1 80
o'clock this morning, when two men en-
tered, and after ordering drinks engaged
Mcintosh in conversation.
While they were talking three masked
men entered and fell upon Mcintosh.
They threw the saloon-keeper on the floor
and thrust gag into his mouth.
He struggled desperately, but was soon
obliged to succumb to the combined
strength of his assailants.
The robbers dragged Mcintosh into an
inner room and tied him to chair
About this time a neighbor, one of Nc
Intosh's friends, entered, and the thieves
who had taken $40, all there was in the
drawer, ran out of the saloon toward Turk
street.
The man chased them for several blocks
but they evaded him and escaped. He re-
turned to the saloon, and after releasing
Mcintosh went to the police station and
described the two robbers who were not
masked.

WOMAN Poisoned
Mrs. Jennie Matthews Given
a Fatal Dose of Strych-
nine.
HER HUSBANDS STATEMENT.
The Secretary Of Laurel Hill Gem
etery Accused of the
Crime.

The body of Mrs. Jennie Matthews. wife
of a street-car conductor, living at 500
Broderick street, was taken to the Morgue
this morning.
In dying statement made by her at a
late hour last night she charged the sec
retary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery with
poisoning her.
About 2 O'Clock in the afternoon she
complained of being sick, so her husband
Edwin Matthews, says. She told him she
had been induced by the secretary to
take pill.
DIR. Griffiths of 134o Hayes street was
called and did what he could for her, but
she died at 1926 O'Clock this morning.
According to the statement made to her
husband the secretary of the cemetery
: Charles H. Crowell, had made improper
proposals to the woman when she went tc
visit the grave of her two children.
She resisted and exhibited revolver
He then gave her pill.
Her little five-year girl, who was with
her at the time, orroborates the deac
mothers statement, saying that her mother
at first refused to take the pill, but was
prevailed upon to do so by Crowells argu
ment The child says Crowell told Mrs
Matthews shewould be fool if she did no
take the pill.
DR.. Griffiths says it was clear case O
strychnine poisoning, and that he searched
the Matthews house and could find NJ
other evidence of the drug.
His reason for making the Statement
was to prevent any suspicion that tn,
woman might have taken the poison with
suicidal intent.
The dead woman was 81 years of age
The police were made acquainted will
Mrs, Matthews dying statement, and viii
arrest Crowell to-day.
The husband of the dead woman called
at the New City Hall at 2:30 o'clock thi.
morning and had consultation with Cap
tain Douglass.
Matthews said that as nearly as he could
learn Superintendent Crowell gave hi.
wife pill and took one himself.
He did not know what had become o
Crowell and at a late hour this morning i
was not known what had become O
Crowell.

MADE THE DOC HOWL,
A Canine in aSauSalitO Church
LamentS for His An
CeStOrS.
The Rector, the Reverend Peter
Miel, Was Reading of Wicked
Jezebel.

A circumstance which has been the SUBJ
ject of much discussion In church circles
in Sausalito, and created an uneasy feeling
among the superstitious, is the conduct of
an old dog which once belonged to Rev.
Mr.. Reed, formerly rector of the Episcopal
church. When Mr.. Reed died, and was
succeeded by Mr.. Mel, the dog continued
to go to the church every Sabbath, as had
been his wont during Mr.. Reeds incum-
bency, and lie in the vestry.
Now, when the music of the choir suited
this old beast he'd get up and wag his tail
with every evidence of satisfaction. When,
on the other hand, it offended his critical
taste, the dog would show signs of the
utmost dependency, and, setting his head
between his paws, emit low and inhar-
monious howls. These eccentricities were
regarded simply as evidences OF more than
ordinary canine sagacity, and the old dogs
visits to the vestry were not interdicted.
But last Sunday an incident occurred
which is difficult of even the most remote
explanation. The choir had sung some
portion of the new mass by Mr.. Mel, and
the thumps of the dogs tail might be dis
tinctly heard against the vestry door. And
then the clergyman read the lesson of the
day, which was the history of the fate of
the wicked JeZebel. When he came to the
passage where the dogs Tapped the blood
of that wretched woman, the dog gave
loud, resonant and most dismal howl, and
showed unmistakable signs of wrath and
uneasiness.
This is the occurrence which absolutely
defies the theorist. The animal may have
had some dim understanding that reflec-
tion was being cast upon his ancestors and
wished to enter his protest against it, or
the utterance of the word Jezebel re-
minded him of mate in the days of his
adolescence. Among the many illustra-
tions of the striking intelligence of the dog
this incident is not insignificant.

quired land in the Western Province of
Cape Colony to the extent of 652 square
miles, including farms in the Cape division,
Stellenbosch, Paarl, Malmesbury, Piquet-
berg, Tulbagh and Ceres, the latter includ-
ing the Waverley Mill estate, which is one
of the best fruit-bearing farms in the coun-
trv, saws the Westminster Gazette.
In the last two years the country has
been quietly prospected and opinions on
the farms obtained, and the company
would have been registered long since, but
for the timidity of farmers in depositing
their title deeds with the solicitors of the
company. Some of these title deeds are
most curious, number of them bearing
the signature of Governor Van der Stell,
under the Dutch Government some $50
years ago, and being SO quaint that they
are unde cipherable, even to the cleverest
Dutch scholar. The company being
now registered the farmers whose lands
have been bought will be paid off in
patches as the farms have been acquired,
and an allowance will be made for i'm
provements since the options were OBJ
tanned.
A large number of the occupants, too,
will be employed by the new company.
The working capital of the company, it is
stated will be e350,00o, and, among the
objects, are WORKING Tor minerals. wine
farming, fruit-grOwlng and the cultivation
of cereals; and the company will also go
in for livestock breeding, ree-panting
and water-boring on an extensive scale. It
is said that the prospecting of the company
in the Knils River district has resulted in
the discovery of a seam of coal thirty feet
thick, and gold reefs are reported to be of
exceeding richness. Finds of cobalt, plum
bago and manganese are also reported in
considerable quantities. The company is
believed to have excellent prospects, for,
owing to the thirst for gold and diamonds,

Bank of England Note Paper Proof

1t is interesting to know, on the author

the Boston Herald.
But it is not the water-marked paper
alone that gives protection against for

printing are all of special description.
and the signature puts finishing touch
on the most difficult to initiate of all bank
notes, although, perhaps, it is the plainest
of all.
Still, after all, the paper of the Bank of

possibly the public will never know all the
traps set for the counterfeiter in the ma
