THE MECHANICAL ARTS,
Opening of the Third Successful
Year of the California
School.
A Well-Equipped Modern Machine
Shop and Foundry-The Alad-
dn Oven, Etc.

The third year of the California School
(the James Lick) of NJ echanical Arts will
begin tomorrow. Already there is an en-
rollment of some 300 students, 200 boys
and 100 girls and the sixty students who
have completed the two-year preliminary
course will enter upon their apprentice
ship in the various trades comprised in
the course of study. All of the depart
ments are nov thoroughly organized and
equipped and the faculty has been
strengthened by the appointment of Will
liam 81. Hollis, B. S., specially trained
chemist and food analyst from the Univer-
sity of California.
A leading feature of the school is its ma.
chine shop, under the able supervision of
Matthew Arnold, formerly Of the Union
Iron Works. 1t is equipped with lathes,
| Pond planer, Worcester drlll-grinder,
| an Aurora drill press, a Stow center grind
er, diamond wet and dry grinder, vised,
| bench tools, lockers, benches, lathe
chucks, shafting, betting, etc. The esti-
mated cost of the shop and its equipments
| Is $1,000. 1t is the most complete OF any,
thing of its class on the Pacific Coast.
WniIe the machine-shops and the foun-
dry are leading attractions for the boys
the girls are equally interested in the
cookery department. This is practically
| equipped WIN cupDOarQS, DencneS, gas
ranges, steam pipe facilities, etc. Its
CHIEF feature, though is an Aladdin oven,
| into which food for breakfast can be put
the night before and taken out and eaten
the next morning. The oven consists of a
tin box, and the heat is supplied by a
| lamp. Il is one of the latest and most
successful of modern culinary inventions.
| The furnace-house has lately been fin-
ished and the students of the school are
now turning out very creditable bronze
castings.
The class of beginners will be admitted
next Wednesday, and will be limited to
seventy-fve boys and fifty girls. Only
thirty-eight boys will be admitted from
this City. the remaining thirty-seven
places being reserved for country boys.
| During the past year twenty-four counties
| of the State were represented in the enroll
| ment.
Graduates of manual training schools
are admitted directly to the apprentice
course, but all other students are required,
before entering, to complete preliminary
course of two years or less, depending
upon their previous training.

81 have every reason to believe that
Stetson never crossed the threshold of
Webster S rooms before the time he killed
himself there, and that there was nothing
improper in his conduct with the young
lady at any time. They were not in the
room to exceed five minutes. Her story
is straightforward probable and altogether
in keeping with the circumstances.
'It is probable that Stetson had many
drinks when he was out in the coupe
alone, and then he was irresponsible when
he pulled the trigger. though there was
many things to show that he did not think
the revolver was loaded when he pulled
the trigger"
Coroner Hawkins yesterday said that he
did not see the revolver and other prop
erty of the deceased as they lay in the
room of death.
"The revolver was handed to me-" he
said, land it struck me as strange thing
that there were no papers, letters, books
or other data in the dead mans pockets.
OF course, l know of no one WHO could
have removed the things, but most men
OF his standing carry more papers than 1
found in his pockets"
The more closely the facts sin the case
are studied by the police the more firmly
are they convinced that the fatal shot was
fred by Stetson, either suicidally or under
the belief that the revolver was not loaded.
Miss Head shuns notoriety. She re-
fuses to allow artists to sketch her or to
give her pictures to any one.
''Of course the newspapers will sketch
me at the inquest" she said last night,
'but l don't care so much for what l cam
not help; but they won't get my picture
with my consent"
Fred Webster arrived from the East on
the 40 train last night and evaded all re-
porters. A rumor gained circulation that
he drove directly TO the Baldwin Hotel
and went In the Arcade entrance. The
manager of the hotel positively denied
this rumor at midnight. Soon thereafter
Captain Lees came down in the elevator.

Beheaded by the spaniards.

E. N. Smith, connected with the United
States Life-saving Department in this City, re-
ceived information yesterday that his STEP
brother, George B. Rea, had been beheaded by
the Span iards in Cuba. OF the details of the
crime Mr.. Smith knows nothing, but he is sat
isfied that Rea was butchered merely to crafty
Spanish malice. He does not think that the
young man had joined the Cubans, because
went to Mantanzas, Cuba, from New York,
about five years ago, to take charge OF the city
electric plant. He was % years old and is de-
scribed by Mr.. Smith as quiet, inoffensive
fellow.
