IT WAS COSTLY FUN.
Two Prominent Young Men Fined for
Assaulting a Police
Officer.

H. B. Graham and R. Cole, alias H. G..
Smith, two prominent young men, ap-
peared in Judge Lows court yesterday,
the former to answer to charge of battery
and the latter for interfering with an Off
Ger in the discharge of his duty.
Graham and Cole were on Stockton
street at an early hour last Sunday morn
ing with few friends. Three workmen
were walking on the sidewalk, when they
were iostled into the roadway by the young
men. The three workmen complained to
Policeman A. e. Holmes and he placed
Graham under arrest. Graham lifted him
into the air. When Holmes got to his feet
Cole threw out his right fist and struck
him in the eye.
Holmes chung to the two young men and
held them till the patrol wagon arrived,
when they were taken to the City Prison
and booked. Graham gave his correct
name, but Cole said his name was III. G..
Smith and his occupation laborer. They
were both bailed out.
Judge Low, after hearing the evidence,
sentenced the two defendants to pay fine
of $40 each or be imprisoned for 10 days.
The fines were paid.

CANE IS OUT ON BAIL.
The Shooter of the Union
Sailor Is Released on
Bonds.
The Ship ElWell Makes Quick
Passage With a Non-Union
Crew.

There was lull in the proceedings in
the sailors strike yesterday. The shooting
of Stevanus Sandberg by Boarding-hous
Master John Cane had quoting effect all
around. During the day Cane secured his
release by furnishing bonds, and it was
rumored around the water front that the
unfortunate sailor had had his leg ampu-
tated. Sandberg, it has been learned, was
not the man who jumped into the bay
from the Wachusetts after he had signed.
The man who did this was one of his COM
panions who entered Canes saloon, and it
was evident that all three were looking for
trouble.
The ship Elwell arrived from Nanaimo
yesterday afternoon, she being the first to
make the round trip since the strike was
declared She took away crew of Japs,
which the union men tried to annihilate
before the vessel sailed. Instead of the
non-union crew delaying the voyage of the
Elwell, they made one of the best voyages
of the year, and the captain won suit of
clothes by making the round trip inside OF
thirty days.
The ship Glory of the Seas finally sue
ceeded in getting to sea yesterday after
being detained in port since last Tuesday.
Captain Freeman said that he would take
non-pnion crew or none, and the union
resolved to give him all the trouble pos
sible in going to sea. One of the crew was
union man, and although he signed regu-
larly and fast enough the union patrol
boat took him off and brought him ashore.
The police promptly returned the deserter
to the ship and the captain went on look
ing for more men.
Whenever Freeman appeared on change
he was greeted with the query, when are
you going to sea, captain2" and finally
growing weary of the chatting he exclaimed
with energy that he was going Saturday.
A writ of habeas corpus was issued requir-
ing him to appear in court on Monday
with the body of the deserter. Freeman
promptly turned the man loose and sailed
without him.

HARLOW'S CHALLENGE.
He Deposits Twenty Dollars as a Guar
antee of His Good
Faith.

1t was announced in last Mondays CALL
that J. Harlow of the San Francisco Hand
ball Court had joined the professional
ranks and had issued challenge to play
any amateur or professional on the coast
Champion Jones excepted, match for $50
a side. John Riordan, the coast champion,
was preferred.
Some doubt having been thrown upon
Harlow's good faith in issuing the chal-
lenge he wrote a letter to the CALL, in
which he said: my challenge, which APP
peared in last Mondays CALL, offering to
play J. Riordan or any one else on the Pa
cific Coast Zones barely. still holds good,
and | am willing and anxious that the CALL
shall accept from me the sum of $40 as
deposit to bind match of $50 side, as
per my challenge above referred to. / do
this to show that l am acting in good
faith"
The $50 was deposited yesterday with the
business manager of the CALL and will re-
main in his hands for week waiting for
some one to cover it. If it is not covered
Harlow will claim the championship of the
Pacific Coast now held by Riordan, which
he would be justified in doing according to
sporting rules.
If the challenge is accepted one half the
games will be played in the San Francisco
court the remainder to be selected by
whoever accepts the challenge.

VETERANS HOME.
Directors Preparing for the Encampment
at Sacramento-Report of the
Farm Management.

The directors and members of the Vet
Grams Home Association, Associated Vet
Grams of the Mexican War and the Past
Department Commanders of California and
Nevada, G. A r., will visit the home at
Yountville, Napa County, to-day. They
will inspect the home in order that they
may be thoroughly informed when matters
concerning it come up for discussion at the
twenty-eighth annual encampment of the
Department of California and Nevada,
which will be held in Sacramento, begin
ming tomorrow.
Secretary ]. ]. Scoville has prepared an
interesting report concerning the manage
ment of the associations business and
finances for the past year, which will be
presented at the encampment. In discuss
ing the Yountville property, Secretary
Scoville says that many improvements
have been made in and about the buildings.
A large storehouse for meat, vegetables
and wood, with dormitories overhead for
employees has been built near the kitchen.
A new morgue has been constructed and
hereafter post-mortem examinations, as
required by the General Government, will
be held on the premises.
A 350-light electric plant is being con-
structed and will be in operation by May l..
BY the substitution of electric lights, in
place of gas manufactured from gasoline, a
saving OF several hundred dollars year
will be effected and much better and
safer light produced. The farming lands,
orchards and ornamental gardens around
the home are more profitably and artist
cally laid out then ever before. Every
acre of arabic land is under high state of
cultivation. There are 100 acres in hay, 40
in barley and 35 now being planted to vege-
tables for the use of the old soldiers. Last
spring over 1000 fruit and nut trees were
set out, and this spring 100 more were
planted, besides over $50 ornamental trees
and 800 ornamental shrubs and bushes.
In laying out avenues, walks and drive
ways the useful and beautiful have been
combined by the planting OF fruit, nut and
citrus trees on each side OF the thorough
fares. Back in the hills are over $50 hogs
belonging to the home.
The veterans are taking more interest In
their home than formerly, and disorder
and lntemperance have almost disappeared.
The financial statement OF Secretary SEQ
vile shows the association to be on bet
ter footing than ever before. The cash on
hand on April l. 1894, was $l644 02; Ke-
ceipts from the State and United States
appropriations, canteen, farm, etc., IN
creased the amount to $104, 1858 SO. After
all the expenses of running the home and
other liabilities, excepting those OF last
month, had been paid, there remained on
hand $10,672 81.
The directors, after showing the visitors
over the Yountville premises and present
ing the foregoing report, feel conndent
that their management will be approved
by the Sacramento encampment.

Previous to organization there was an
informal gathering of the fraternity with a
view to taking action on many important
matters pertaining to the interests of the
profession, among them in particular the
disposition of the $3.50, 900 appropriation of
the Legislature for the establishment of
central institute for the affiliated colleges
This matter was discussed at length and
the preponderance of argument favored
the park panhandle as being the most con-
venient place for the contemplated struct-
ure, provided sufficient funds can be raised
to erect a suitable building.
To this end the aim of the association is
directed.
1t is the purpose of the alumni to invite
all the members of the profession to unite
on this and other important matters in
order to secure the best possible results.
The association will shortly give a ban
quet, when general invitation will be ex-
tended to the medical fraternity.

When Detective Stilwell made his report
to Governor Budd and the Grand Jury IN
regard to the alleged deficiencies in the
new ferry foundations he scarcely realized
the fact that he would be likely to come in
for share of adverse criticism from the
friends of those whom he attacked. 1t
seems, however, that his accusations to a
great extent rest upon his own statements.
His credibility as authority in the case

To start with, these two things may be
taken for granted:
1. That everybody likes to buy such
things as he wants at the lowest possible
price;
2. That without a big, round retail profit
the price of Shoes is extremely low.
Now comes the plain fact that the largest
factory on the coast is selling Shoes at
retail at FACTORY PRICES, with only a
wholesale and without the retail profit.
Conclusion: The big factory is the best
place for everybody to buy.
The saving is from 80 cents to So on a

N Waste OF Good Material

Well-known Congressman, who was
a farmer before he went into politics,
was doing his district not long ago, and
III his rambles he saw man in q
stulnpy patch of ground trying to get O.
plow through it. He went over to him.
and after q brief salutation he asked
the privilege of making q turn or two
with the pillow. The native shook his
head doubtfully as he looked at his
visitors store clothes and general air
of gentleman Of elegant leisure. but
he let him take the plow The Con-
gresSinan sailed away with it in fine
style and plOwed four or five burrows
before the owner of the field could re-
cover from his surprise. Then he pulled
up and handed the handles to the orig
inal holder
"By gravy. mister" said the farmer
admiringly, ''air you in the aggercul-
tural buSiness?"
NO." laughed the statesman.
"Y'aint sellin' plows?"
"No."
''Then what in thunder air yOu?"

"Well, by hockey, mister" said the
farmer, as he looked with admiration
over the recently plowed burrows, "ef
