HOME FOR NEWSBOYS,
The Charitable Enterprise of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C.
Stevens.
a ROOF GARDEN MADE.
A Non-Sectarian Institution Which
All Churches and the Public Are
Asked to Aid.
ROOF GARDEN y

The Newsboys' Home. at 113 Powell
street, will be opened this evening.
There are ten large, sunny rooms in
course of furnishing, and at the front a
roof garden is about to be made, where
boys may eat icecream and exchange the
| jokes and stories Of the craft.
The first floor will be devoted to a res
| taurant, excepting one room for an Office
or sitting-room. On the second floor will
be gamerooms, reading-rooms. workrooms
and bathrooms.
| 1t is designed that in connection with
the home will be established stamp saw
ings society, an employment bureau, a
| weekly paper. an industrial department, in
charge of competent teachers; laundry
agency, package delivery system, news
paper exchange, library, restaurant and
barber-shop.
The amusements include musical enter
| tainments, socials at which refreshments
will be served, writing, drawing, stamp
albums and scrapbooks. and it is intended
that new features will be added as soon as
practicable.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Chesey Stevens of 112
Liberty street are the promoters of the
| plan. The story of their interest in the
work is an interesting one. Last summer
! the young couple started on a tour around
the world. They stopped at Duluth,
Mimi, and there became interested in the
work known as the Bethel Home of that
city. So much were they absorbed in this
work that they resolved to abandon their
| plan of tour around the globe and re-
| turned to San Francisco resolved to under
take similar work. They looked over the
| field thoroughly, and the result has been
| their conclusion that helping working
boys to an education, to save a little
money for start in business and to pro-
! vide them with the surroundings of q re-
! fined club life is the worthiest work in
which they could engage.
| They hope to make the institution in
every sense public one. A board of man.
ayers will soon be formed, and an appeal
to the churches for aid in furnishing the
rooms has been made. Mr.. Stevens has
become responsible for the rent.
His purpose is to make the home self
supporting as soon as possible. TO this end
| a restaurant will be opened which the pub
tic is asked to patroniZe.
| 1t is not yet decided, and will not be
until the board of managers meets, whether
a nominal charge will be made to the
boys
Provisions will be made for temporary
home for such boys as are without an
abiding place.
There will be an employment bureau
and, in time, connection with a training
school for boys
The great need now is for substantial
furniture in all the rooms.
The institution is to be non sectarian,
and the help of all churches is desired
This evening the Methodist deaconesses
will have charge of the entertainment, to
which all working boys are invited.
The hospitality of the home will not be
! restricted to newsboys.

Captain Lees Told the Ten Russian

Ivan Kovalev, the Russian convict who
is to be hanged at Folsom Prison to-mor-
row for killing aged Mr.. and Mrs. Weber,
is one of the ten convicts who esca ped
from the Island of Saghalien in 1898. 1t is
probable that he and his associates were
murderers before they got away from the
prison island. Two of them had been sem
fenced by the Russian Government for
outrages which merit life imprisonment
in this country, but the others claimed
when here TO have been arrested only for
political conspiracy, and there was no
contrary evidence. They were all re-

greatly in business way lately.
"There is a general renewal of conf

short time ago.

for it always happens that when cattle are
slick and fat at this time of the year the
cold spring weather does not affect them.
"Sheep are also in fine fettle. There are
many of them, as there are of cattle, for
these two industries are very extensive in
Montana. We shall have great deal of
wool, mutton and beef this year.
AS for the mines, we are digging deeper
tnan formerly and finding bigger and
richer veins. We are not trying to dis
cover more silver, because it is TOO cheap,
However, we are working the big silver
mines at Butte, Anaconda and Elsenboro.
But the main idea in Montana lately. as
in Colorado, has been to develop more
gold mines. We have had great success
in this. Eighty miles from Helena lately

Idaho known as the Backfeet Range. It
is an area about eighteen by seventy miles
in extent, which has recently been ceded
to Montana by the Blackfeet Indians. 1t
appears to be rich in gold. MANY other
districts are being opened.

Thomas Brennan, Burly
Longs h brennan.


Thomas Brennan, a longshoreman, was
convicted in Judge Campbells court yes
terday OF beating his wife. She appeared
IN court with a big black lump on her left
cheek under the eye, and begged the Judge
to be Ienlent with her husband for the sake
OF her children. During their married life
she had borne to him ten children, and five
were alive. He was good husband, ex-
cept when he was drunk. She admitted
he was very often in that condition, spend
Ing all his wages in drink.
The whipplng.post is the best thing for
such men as you" said the Judge, "and if
had the power | would order you to get
thirty lashes on your bare back with a
rawhide. | had made up my mind to give
you six months in the County Jail, but as
your poor children would be the actual
sufferers and not you I will for their sake
withhold sentence for thirty days.
Meantime you will have to give your
wife IS per week for the support of the
children, and if, at any time, a complaint
be made to me that you are not paying
that amount, or that you are beating your
wife, l will at once issue bench warrant
for your arrest and send you to jail"
Brennan declared that he would paw t he
amount regularly and would not touch an
other drop of drink.

No interest in the case was ever officially
manifested by the Russian Government.
AT the release of the prisoners Captain
Lees addressed the ten men. He told them
that they had come to a free country,
where they could enjoy all the advantages
afforded to any others. They would have
good deal of liberty here, he said but the
people in this country would not tolerate
the manifestation of any nihilistic or an

The Shattuck Case and Judge Belcher's
Remarks Mixed Up in the
Proceedings.

Lane.
The dismissal of the Jurors, counsel
said, was equivalent to refusal by the
Sheriff to summon jurors regularly drawn
to serve upon panel in court, which ac-
tion on the part of the Sheriff, counsel
maintained, is ground for challenge to
the entire panel. In closing his affidavit
on the subject, the defendant Lane made
this statement:
That in preparing for his trial affiant learned
from the records of the court who the jurors
in attendance thereon were, made inyestiga-
tions as to their characters, regulations and
opinions in general, and now comes to this
court prepared TO proceed with the trial of
this cause, anticipating that the said jurors.
herenbefore named, would all OF them
form part of the panel of jurors in attend
ance upon this court and from which jnrv in
this cause would be drawn. Finding that
such names have been without legal cause
ordered taken from the jury-box of trial Jurors

ing with said trial or to proceeding to draw a
jury until said Jurors shall again have been
notified to be in attendance upon said court
and until their names, or at least the names of
ell except Kittredge, Ash and Walker. shall
have been replaced in said jury-box, or that
the entire panel of jurors in attendance upon
this court shall be dismissed and a new yenire
of jurors drawn to serve ON the trial of this
cause.
R. B. Kittredge, w. L. Ashe and W. n
Walker of the Shattuck jury had served
their terms anyway and so were not in
cluded in Cooks objection. R. A. Muller
the man who had stood out for .guiltv y
had been ordered restored to the panel
after two weeks.
Judge Belcher overrnled all the obiec-
tions and exceptions, and then the Lane
trial proceeded.
Five jurors were secured during the fore.

Collector of Customs Wise yesterday. Sew
eral witnesses were examined, but no new
facts were developed. This evidence will
be submitted directly to the Secretary OF
the Treasury at Washington.
There is decided lull in the proceed

easy matter in removing certain officials
high in authority is paid little attention to
around the Custom-house. Anyway, Moore
is doing considerable hard, quiet work,

usually clear for him. He Is an able
writer when he is not embittered OF
writing on one Of his hobbies.
THE JOURNAL cannot take space to
set him right on the money question,
as he denies the theory Of blmetal-
lism in toto. The Republican plat
form of 1892 declared for blmetalllsm
and the use of gold and silver as
standard money. He opposes this,
and hence is not Republican on the
money question.
He prostitutes his abilities and his

THE BROOKS PRIMARY.

The controversy In Labish precinct
shows how absolutely necessary 1t is
that a proper primary law be enacted
in this state.
The Jones faction at Brooks who
have generally been successful in car
rylng the primary, were this year
knocked out and now threaten to bolt
the whole ticket.
All this shows the need OF primary
reform. The 10. Simon law Is only
for cities over $500 and only for city
elections. But IL was never drawn for
any other purpose but to legalize ex-
i'ting abuses.
A proper primary law would COM
pell all parties to hold primary elec-
tlon on the same day and place with
officers at the mercy Of no faction,
and where every voter in the party
would express his choice Of candidates
from the lowest to the highest. That
would stop the strife Of factions.
