A SUICIDE At VALLEJO.
T. D. Blanchard Shot Himself
Over the Grave of a
Friend.
He Stood Well in the Community
and His Death Is Sincerely
Mourned.

VALLEJO, CAL, Jan. ct. D. Banch-
ard, known by every one hereabouts as
Doc" shot himself this evening through
the head on the grave of his late chum,
Richard j. Nagle, who in fit of tempo
rary insanity a week or so ago threw
himself out of third story window and
broke his neck.
Blanchard has not been the same since
Nagle's tragic ending, and his pleasant
ways so well known on our streets have
been changed TO M odiness. He was
missed to-day from his usual haunts, and
suspicion being aroused, search was
mac and his body was discovered in the
cemetery, as narrated.
The deceased had been married and had
family, but was separated. At one time
he was with a circus, but lately has
worked at his trade of joiner at Mare
Island.
He was about so years old and one of
our popular citizens. There was a deep
affection between Nagle and Doc" which
was well known, and while his suicide
shocks, it does not surprise people greatly.

no difficulty in obtaining them.
1t was not known here that Gardner's 8
examination was to be postponed beyond
the I'd or bonds would have been sent be-
fore. The long interval of four days
elapslng between steamers has caused de-

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE,
Sensational Developments in the
Pyle Breach of Promise
Suit.
One of the Witnesses Arrested for
Perjury When Leaving the
Courtroom.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 2.-The breach OF
promise suit of jessie Pyle against Edward
NJ. Piercy, in which she asks for $50, 600
damages, grows more interesting as ii
progresses and the attendance of specta-
tors in court is increasing.
The first witness for the defense this
morning was Eugene G.. Shirley, black
smith residing in Oakland, who was put
through rigid cross-examination as to
his testimony Tuesday afternoon. Miss
Pyle had roomed at Shirley's house in this
city about .wo years ago and Tuesday
afternoon he testified that on one occasion
he had looked through transome and
had seen Miss Pyle in com promising po-
sition with man named Aiken.
When Shirley took the stand this morn
ing he asked that he be allowed to correct
that statement, as he had made a mis-
take. He said that there was no transom
in the door, but that he had gone around
the house and looked through window.
As Shirley was leaving the courtroom
after coming off the witness-stand he was
arrested by Deputy Constable Castro on a
charge of perjury, which had been sworn
to by Miss Pyle.
Mrs. Joe Tomlinson gave some damag-
ing testimony against Miss Pyle. She
said Miss Pyle had roomed at her house,
but owing to the large number of gentle
men calling to see the plaintiff she ordered
Miss Py lie to leave.
Several other witnesses were examined
but nothing of a damaging nature was
elected.
The defendant, E. NJ. Piercy, was put on
the stand just before adjournment which
was taken until next Monday.
Shirley was arraigned before Justice
Dwyer on the charge of perjury, and his
examination was set for January 13. Bail
was fixed at $500, which was promptly
furnished, with E. NJ. Piercy and w. 3.
McCarley as sureties.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 2.-''If there

schoolbook fund" said State Superin-
tendent Black tonight, ait is only tenn
porary affair and if of really very little con-
sequence.
The fund is what is called rotary
fund. That is, it is supplied from the
sales of the textbooks. No more books
are printed than are needed and they are
paid for almost as soon as they are sup
piled to the Schools so that the fund can
never be bankrupted.
''As fast as L receive the money turn it
over to the publishing department, and
last month l turned over $4,000. I have
not heard that the fund is low and if there
is any shortness it will only be for day
or two"

The Secretary of State Claims a
Loss of Two Hundred
Thousand.
GOVERNOR BUDD's IRE IS UP.
Openly Charged That the Schoolbook
Editor Has Had Little -
to Do.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 2.-It would
appear, should the statistics which will be
presented before the State Board of Edu-
cation next Monday by Secretary of State
Brown prove to be correct, that the
experiment of printing the text books
used throughout the public schools of
California has been very costly one to
the State, resulting in a loss of at least
$1,000 during the past few years.
The original theory, when the idea was
first broached, was that the books,
when thrown upon the market, would
not only fully repay the cost of produc-
ton, but would yield handsome revenue
which in a few years would fully reim-
Durse the State for the amount OF appro-
prlations made to establish the original
plant necessary for their production.
This, however, has evidently proven to
be falacy and it is claimed that, instead
of any REIN mbursement, it has cost $500, 900
in appropriations since the establishment
of the plant in 1885, the latter at the pres
ent time not being worth over $150,OO0
The revolving fund is totally exhausted,
and it was request presented before the
State Board of Examiners to create de-
ficiency which aroused the ire of Governor
Budd to such an extent that he requested
Secretary of State Brown to make thor
ough examination and report as to the
causes.
This has been done, but the latter Off
cial absolutely refuses to give out any in
formation on the subject until it is brought
before the State Board of Education next
Monday.
1t is also quite evident that the execu-
tive desires thorough knowledge as to the
duties alleged to have been performed by
w. H. V. Raymond, who is dubbed the
''schoolbook editor, at a cost 10 the State
of $3.50 per month, and it is claimed that
his two assistants, both of whom are
women, draw a salary of $3.50 per month
each.
1t has been openly charged that Mr..
Raymond has had very little to do since
the first series of State schoolbooks were
published, although his friends claim that
he has been engaged in editing the new
series of schoolbooks authorized by the
last Legislature.
However this may be the prospects are
that an exhaustive investigation will be
made by the Board of Education in regard
to the matters brought to it's notice by the
Secretary of State.
When asked as to the cause of the diff
Guilty, Secretary of State Brown said: 81
am not prepared to give any in
formation at present. 1t would seem
that the books must have been selling
below cost No, there can be no blame
attached to the State Printer whatever;
there must have been mistakes made In
estimating the costs of production.
Personally l have no interest in the
matter other than my desire to see all the
affairs of state conducted on an econom-
ical basis, and l have prepared tables of
statistics simply in accordance with the
request of Governor Budd."

KEMPER HALL MUSICALE.
Beautiful Day and a Charming Enter
tainment.

Wednesday afternoon crowd OF
visitors focked to Kemper Hall for the
annual musicale. The afternoon was
beautiful; it was an afternoon When d
man likes to be alive for the pleasure
of animal existence and is charmed
with every change in nature. The
beauty of the school grounds, the
twinkling of the waves, the soft shad-
oWs on the lawn, the low murmuring OF
the wind among the leaVes-all lent
their grace to an idyllic scene.
1t was with reluctance thatmany left
these charms of nature to enter Ar
mitage Hall, but all feelings of regret
soon vanished under the influence of
music. In art the handicraft is every
thing, and the absolute distinction OF
the artist lies, not so much in his ca
pacity to feel nature as in his power to
render it," So said Theophile Gautier.
When we listen to music that we can
not render we feel that it is indeed the
g power to render" and not the ca
pacity to feel" that makes the artist.
This feeling caused us Wednesday
afternoon to admire the artists" who
were delighting our senses.
There were fifteen numbers on the
program and they we're we'll executed.
The singing of the glee club was ex-
cellent. Miss Agnes Slosson played
Chopin's Marche Funebre, and Hen
selt's Spring song. Her playing and
Miss Magill's singing seemed to be the
most enjoyable numbers. The funeral
march was played with feeling and in
good style. The solemn music ceased
and gave place to the light, tripping
strains of the Spring song. Miss Grant,
who won the gold medal for music,
played Chopin's Grand Valse, but she
seemed to take the time too quickly,
and she appeared nervous.
After the musicale the alumn8 held
a reception in the parlors of the school.
This reception was followed by the an
nual dinner, to which twenty three sat
down, with Mrs. Gilman presiding. At
business meeting Miss Josephine Large
was elected president of the association
for the next year, and Mrs. c. G.
Brown, corresponding secretary.

An Experience.

Hon. John F. Reynolds and County
Clerk Robbins packed their lunch bas-
kets this morning at 4 a. NJ, to go on a
fishing trip on the tug. The basket
was large enough to hold lunch for a
weeks trip. Of course the chaps from
the country had new corn coo pipes,
and expected to get enough fish to
supply themselves and neighbors for a
week, but wow WOW !! After a few
miles out the Hon. John F. was taken
sick and Bert had a good laugh; but
hardly had John F. recovered when
poor Bert commenced to feed the fish.
Of course, Tom was their adviser and
physician. He staid with the boys,
and cooled their heads until near the
land, when John said to Bert how do
you like this trip?" But Bert was
dead to the world. He could not
speak. A SYMPATHIzER.
