MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS.
Progress Of the Lick School Of
Mechanical Arts.
One Hundred and Thirty Pupils at Work
and Room for MOre-ClaSSeS
Formed.

The Lick School of Mechanical Arts has
now completed two weeks of it's first term,
and though not entirely complete in all its
facilities, yet the progress made and re-
suits thus far achieved are such as to
afford the board of trustees and teachers
the greatest encouragement. In Principal
Merrili's opinion the school has already
proved its value and the necessity of its
existence. and he states further that the
promise of its usefulness in the future IS
Of the very brightest.
Thus far nearly 200 applications have
been received, considerable proportion
of which had to be rejected on account OF
the applicants not being in the right grade
at the public schools and others on other
grounds. Many applications are BENG
made for entrance for the July term,
large PROPORTION being from the interior OF
the State. -.
1t was intended to start the school with
ninety boys and sixty girls, but the girls
not having applied in sufficient numbers
to fill up their quota it has been decided to
enlarge the bows classes, so that now there
are 100 boys and only 80 girls on the rolls.
Only rudimentary classes are now formed,
in English, literature, mathematics,
carpentery, mechanical and free-hand
drawing.
The boys and girls in attendance are of a
superior class, and Mr.. Merrill is enthusl-
astic over their application and behavior.
The machine-shops and molding-rooms for
iron and brass are not yet complete, but
soon will be- The inclement weather has
prevented grading of the ground and
making final exterior improvements, but
this will soon be accomplished. There Is
room for a few more boys.

IN THE JEWISH PILPITS.
Causes Which Led to the First
Crusade.
The influence Of Hebrew Poetry, by Rabbi
]. Niete-Dr. Levy on "The
Will and Desire"

Preaching at the Temple Emanuel last
evening, Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger con-
tinued his series of lectures on "the Jew as
citizen of the world
The first crusade and its consequences
was the special subject last evening, and
by way of introduction DR.. Voorsanger
said that this period of Jewish history is
by no means pleasant one of which to
read. The beginning of the twelfth CEN
fury was virtually the commencement OF a
new era, or rath er of several eras, Of the
citizen of the world. Speaking from the
standpoint of the general reader the first
crusade was inaugurated because Chris
tians had been prosecuted in Palestine by
the fanatical Musselmans and the time APP
preached when some measure had to be
devised to protect the Christian.
From my standpoint" said the rabbi,
''as far as l have been able to read, 1t took
fully four centuries to determine the
course of the first crusade. 1t began when
Islam took the initiative to battle for the
supremacy of the world with Christianity. j"
DIR. Voorsanger in the further course of
his remarks ascribed the origin OF the
crusade to the love of adventure of the
English knights and to the internal dis
| sensions of the European monarchs and
the church.
The influence of Hebrew poets and
poetry upon the history of the Jewish ma
ton was discussed at the Taylor-street
synagogue by Rabbi Jacob Nieto. His
lecture is also one of a series to extend
over several months.
DR.. Nieto mentioned the name of
Ibn Gebirol as a prominent one in the
| philosophy and poetry of his age. This
| learned man of letters was described as a
or d,1l,
| with the teachings of Socrates, Plato and
Aristotle; the founder of a system of
| philosophy deep in thought, wealthy in
| IDEAS" He handled the most complex
| problems with the greatest ease, and that
| his comprehension of them was complete
| is evidenced by the fact that he expressed
| his thought in language clear, precise and
| unmistakable. The profundity of his
arguments, however, demand the closest
and most undivided attention to enable
! his readers to follow him.
In conclusion DR.. Nieto said: Ellis
poetry is as remarkable as his philosophy,
and breathes the purest of sentiment, por-
| trays the most lofty ideals. His soulful
outpourings, couched in most touching
language, appeal to the heart and mind
alike.
AT the Geary-street Temple Rabbi NJ. S..
Levy addressed his congregation on ''The
Will and the Desire" In the course of his
lecture DR.. Levy said: 1.-THE moral defects
under which we labor are the result of
weakness and mental incapacity to resist.
As soon as we permit the moral influences
of will fortified by faith to aid us the
power to do is increased a thousandfold.
A simple desire is not sufficient 1t needs
combination of both forces to give effect
to the glorious moral truths which Juda-
ism proclaims.'
DR.. Levy concluded by appealing to the
young to lead purely Jewish lives.

of ancient standing. In 1878 the elder
Barrios agreed with the Government OF
Mexico to refer the boundary question to
a commission of engineering officers, who
were directed to follow the line already
established wherever it was known, and
where it was not known to be guided by
what appeared to be the natural dividing
line The commission reported in due
course, but their report was not accepted
by either nation, and two or three years
ensued in which the relations Of the two
powers were strained in consequence. AT
length in July, 1882, President Barrios pre-
vailed upon Senior Romero, who was Next
can Minister TO Washington, to agree to
basis of adjustment, and in case dispute
arose over the Interpretation of the agree
ment to refer the controversy to the arbi-
tration of the President of the United
States. President Arthur reluctantly &C
cepted the Office of arbitrator. The basis
conceded to Mexico the State of Chiapas,
including the Department of Saconusco,
and waived all claim for indemnity on
either side. A resurvey was ordered of
those portions of the boundary line which
were unoccupied, and the rule of uti posi-
Qtl1S " to dCtcpJCu do w tAAO iScll-
veyors. 1t was expected that by 1884, at
latest, the boundary dispute would have
been filed away among dead issues.
But this has not been the case. There is
still a gap in the boundary which is unde-
fined, and, if the newspaper dispatches are
reliable, the gap will have to be traced by
the sword. The territory involved is prac-
tically worthless, and is inhabited by
few scattered Indians. Guatemala has far
more territory than she can employ or
utilize, and the southern states of Mexico
are in the same condition. Neither power
has anything to gain by war, and neither
is in a financial condition to take the field.
But in both cases political objects may
be furthered by war. The only object
which lies near President Barrios' heart is
the union of the Central American states.
1t is quite possible that, in the event of a
war with Mexico, Salvador, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica might cast their lot with Guate-
mala, and union might grow out of the
alliance. On the other hand, the Presi-
Dental election in Mexico takes place
next November, and nothing would insure
the reelection of Diaz SO absolutely as a
war to preserve the integrity of Mexican
territory

OFF WITH THE HATS.

A bill has been introduced into the Legis-
lature of New York requiring managers of
theaters to remove Instructions of any
kind which interfere with the comfort of
the audience. The bill provides that any
one whose view of the stage is obstructed
by an object which the manager can have
removed may require him to do so, and in
case of his refusal may recover four times
the price of his ticket. Any person
obstructing the view of others shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor and shall
be subjected to a fine of $40
The object of the bill is to put stop to
the thoughtless practice followed by ladies
of wearing at the theater enormous and
preposterous structures by way of hats,
which shut the stage out of the view of
persons sitting behind their wearers.
Every one who frequents the theaters
knows how annoying the custom is. The
fashion of the day is for ladies to wear
great tapping sombreros such as are
affected by Castilian brigands and Arizona
cowboys. They are ugly and unbecoming.
They make pretty girls face look like
budding plant in a nursery which has to be
shaded from the sun after it is watered
The escort cannot whisper his criticisms
into the pretty ear without bringing the
bridge of his nose into sharp contact with
the edge of the hat, throwing the latter out
of plumb and provoking scowling remon-
STRANGE. Nor is this all. 1t seems to be
law that woman cannot sit still at
opera or theater. Girls wobble in their
seats and oscillate from side to side like the
toy called Chinese mandarin. The result
of this is that when man, after careful
study of the range of hats in front of him,
has surveyed thin line of vista between
them, through which he can catch
glimpse of the stage, the ladies begin their
oscillation and his line of sight is INSTRUCTED
at so many points that he abandons in
despair the attempt to see the piece.
a lady is free to wear what she will on
stuffed bodies of singing birds on it just to
show how tender-hearted she is; or one of
the monstrous constructions of lawn and
lace worn in Normandy, which are so tall
that girl bows her head when she
enters a church; or even poke bonnet, at
the far end of which the sweet face is seen
like truth at the bottom of WELL But
this liberty is subject to the same limita-
tons as other forms of liberty; it is con-
ditioned npon the rule that it shall not be
used to the detriment of any one else. No
lady has a right, for the sake of making
herself ridiculous in a sombrero, to repeat
the performance of Moliere's Marquis and
shut out the performers from the sight of
the audience, just to show how supremacy
contemptuous she is Of the rights of others.
She ought, when she goes to theater, to
wear neat, piquant, natty little hat
without studding-sails. If she has but one
headgear she ought to leave it in the
dressing-room and appear in her place in
the orchestra with her lovely head
covered only by the exquisite hair with
which nature clothed it.

ABsURDITY OF THE GRAND JURY.

The continued existence of the Grand
Jury system shows now difficult it is to
overthrow an institution which has once
got rooted. More than half century ago
the leading lawyers in the East denounced
it as an absurdity, which stood in the way
of the administration of justice, and which
deserved to be classed with trial by battle.
But it stood the shock of reason without
Welding. and continued to flourish as an
example of stupidities which linger long
after their usefulness has expired.
All that the Grand Jury can do could be
done, and better done, by an intelligent
Judge. 1t is in fact done by the Police
Justice who binds over an accused person
for trial. The Justice has the advantage
over the Grand Jury that he hears the EVIL
dence against the accused in public, and II
the prosecution is based on blunder or in
spired by malice, its nature is disclosed on
cross-examination. In the old days the
courts were constantly used by the crown
for the persecution of its enemies, and the
Grand Jury served as bulwark for the
subject against the king. In our time, the
State has no private wrongs to avenge or
spites to serve. All men, from the Judge
on the bench to the janitor who scrubs the
courtroom floor, want the malefactor pun
ished and the innocent to go free; and that
is all they want. The average Police Judge
may be relied upon to see justice done be-
tween the people and the accused.
In France, an intermediate place between
the courts of primary criminal jurisdiction
and the trial court is occupied by the iuge
i rf ha hoo riFa nor
before the primary court is handed to him /;
he hears the accused and the witnesses in
private, and decides whether or no the ac-
cused shall be sent up for trial. He
answers all the purposes of Grand Jury
without its liability to err, or to become an
instrument of malice. Lest the witnesses
should be made away with, or an honest
mans character be stained by groundless
accusation, he conducts his preliminary
investigation in private, which practice
could not well be avoided.
In our system, privacy is not only I'M
necessary, but is open to grave objections.
Every Grand Jury that has ever sat in San
Francisco has had its time occupied with
recitals of private quarrels, the parties to
which sought to use the Grand Jury to
feed their private grudges. They would
not do so if the hearings were open to the
public, and reported in the papers. Any
thing which savors of the star chamber
system is revolving to the American mind.
We want no Lions Mouth" here. An
accused has right to hear every detail Of
the charge that is brought against him,
and to know the names of his accusers.
American justice sets no traps to catch the
unwary by unexpected disclosures of secret
information.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

London correspondent says of President
Faure: '1n physique he always suggested
Chester a. Arthur to me. In training and ex-
perience of affairs and in the attitude toward
politics which these shaped for him he is ire
proachable. He is Hayre's foremost citizen and
has the commercial North firmly at his back.
He is Protestant, the first ever to rule France,
for Henry " retracted before he mounted the
throne. He is stout free-trader, a man OF
great business energy and grit, and, what is
rather unique in France, he speaks several
languages. He has travelled much and under
stands very well what the rest of the world is
like. He is fond of shooting and has an almost
joyial manner out of business hours, Strong
common sense is his point, rather than schol-
arship and line airs"

spurns them. Let lis await the future. 1t may
be that this young man, nominally an autocrat,
may use his almost divine power to bless and
not to afiict."
The English author Zangwill is man OF

of it is about on level with the horses heads,

the horses spring away from the mark with

so finely adjusted that it will only lift ten

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"a good deal of interest has been created in
Southern California, especially among scien-
tlic men and others familiar with irrigation
matters" said Professor A. B. MARI of Los An
eeles at the Palace yesterday, "by suggestions
which have recently been made relative to the
possible utilization of the waters of the Colo
RADIO River for the purpose of irrigating millions
of acres of land, which are now practically
Useless. A proposition made by Mr.. Young is
10 the effect that a dam should be built some
where along the course of the Colorado and its
waters diverted into Death Valley, filing the
lands and retaining the surrounding desert.
The gentleman named shows map, which
locates definitely the position of the dam
and the course of the canal and the
country to be irrigated. An examination
of the contour maps of the United States Geo.
logical Survey shows that the proposed canal
