The PHILOSOPHY OF
A SON OF THE SEA,

He stood leaning against the capstan OF
deep-water ship and with the air of a
philosopher and in voice that bespoke a
deal of conscience at the back of his words
reeled off to couple of interested listen
ers this characteristic story inrerlarded
with his honest views:

you might ssy, on the ocean, mayn't We
got the same advantages as has fallen to

in his mind a few things which some as

cord by months is as follows:


An examination into the causes of death
fails to show any adequate reason for this
startling discrepancy. Zymotic diseases
during August 1895, carried off "a males
and II females; constitutional diseases, so
males and 81 females; local diseases, 100
males and so females; developmental dis
eases, 16 males and % females; violent
deaths, q males and II females; unascer-
tanned causes, males and no females.
Practically the same ratio appears in the
month following and the inference is that
the males are decreasing 50 much more
rapidly than the females that in the course
OF time, unless some marked change taxes
place, the females will have San Francisco
entirely to themselves. Opinions differ as
to the causes of the differences in the
death rate.
One prominent physician who would not
consent to the use of his name gave it as
his opinion that the habits of the men were
responsible for their being carried away by
disease.
Just stop moment and think over the
list of your acquaintances, he said, land
you will find that ten men to one woman
yes twenty to one-are addicted to tho
use of liquor, fifty to one use tobacco and
100 to one stay out nights and engage in
forms of dissipation that are sure to I'M
dermine the health
"Then, again women are much more
cleanly than man, they take more care Of
their persons, and this is calculated to
make them healthy. Still, the figures
seem rather startling and give food for
thought"

FOR STREET-SPR|NKL|NG,
The Merchants Association Pc.
titions the Board of
Supervisors.
Belief That the Business Districts
Should Be Watered Regularly.
Aid Offered.

Anticipating the close OF the rainy sea-
son and the necessity for keeping the
City's thoroughfares watered, the Mer-
chants Association sent in a communioa-
ton to the Board of Supervisors yesterday
requesting that body to order the sprink-
ling of the streets as soon as it becomes
necessary.
The communication calls attention to
the fact that the Supervisors appropriated
| S15,000 Tor street-cleaning purposes during
the last six months and that but S57, $50 19
was used, leaving a balance of S17,4l9 81
to the credit OF the fund. The association
claims that these figures show that there
| are ample means available for street.
| sprlnkling purposes. The communication
states that it is desirable that the whole
business portion of the City should be sys-
tematically sprink1ed, and suggests that if
the Supervisors desire to have the associa-
tons system practically tried before
making a contract they should author
ne the association to engage, at the
guy expense as many sprink-
ling carts and drivers as may be
| required TO carry out the specifications
under the following conditions: That the
compensation for each cart and driver
shall not exceed SIS day; that the total
expenditure shall not exceed 500 day !;
that the experiment be made on days when
sprinkling is necessary and be continued
for thirty consecutive working days.
The association expresses its Willingness
to furnish superintendent and foreman
for the experiment without charge and
agrees that if after the contract is granted
the amount appropriated proves INSULT
| cient it will raise the necessary funds to
/ make up the deficiency.
The communication closes with the
statement that if the funds for street
sprinkling are diverted to any other pur-
pose the association will not again step
into the breach and raise the necessary
money.

BL0DEs ON HIS DEFENSE.
The Young BOOKSELLER Claims He Was
Only Commission Broker

The Young BOOKSELLER Claims He Was
Only Commission Broker.
Gilbert Blodes, proprietor of the pool
rooms frequented by women, testified in
his own behalf before Judge Joachimsen
yesterday. He and his brother and clerk
all testified that on the day mentioned in
the complaint all the money taken by
them was turned over to Hallinan;s and
other poolrooms, less commission, which
went to prove that Blodes & CO. were only
commission brokers.
Attorney Lennon made long argument
for the dismissal of the case, quoting
numerous authorities and laying partic-
ulaT stress upon recent decision of Judge
Low that he would not convict in q case
where the police were accompIices. The
case was continued until to morrow, when
the Judge will give his decision.

DOVER COURT SUSTAINED.
The Single Tax Prisoners Must Re.
main in Jail.

Wilmington, Del, Aug. 17.-Judge
Wales in the United States court this
morning gave a decision in the case OF
the single tax speakers in Dover Jail
He decided that the Dover justice OF
the peace had authority to try and to
remand james ]. Haggerty the appel
ant, to Jail for violating a town ordin-
ance by speaking on the street. The de-
cision applies to all the other single tax
prisoners in Jail. Judge Wales gave a
carefully prepared decision of about
three thousand words. The salient
point in Judge Wales decision follows:
when the law is assailed on the
ground of unconstitutionality the OBJ
lection must be made so clear that the
court cannot hesitate however reluct
ant to take the responsibility to declare
1t void, but IL it be all doubtful and un-
certain whether the statute, when fairly
construed and executed. comes within
the constitutional inhibition, no court
or judge should presume to attempt to
undo the work of the legislature.
ut Is sufficient for me to say that I
am by no means convinced that section
II of the Dover charter, in it's opera
tion, has deprived the petitioner of his
liberty without due process of law
This disposition Of his case does not
leave the petitioner without any other
remedy. The courts of the state are
open to him. BY applying for writ
of certioran which will Immediately
operate as a supersedeas of the COM
mittment under which he Is now held.
he will be discharged from custody and
can have the proceedings before the
alderman of Dover review by the su-
perior court of Dover
Judge Wales said it was not his prov
ince to pass upon the evidence adduced
before the alderman but simply wheth
er the magistrate had authority and
jurisdiction to act. his decision was.
therefore, that the alderman had pow
er to act. The petition was, therefore,
refused and Haggerty remanded to the
custody Of the sheriff.

SERIOUS RIOTING
in BELFAST
Public Demonstration Of the Nati0nalists
Causes the Trouble.
STONES THROWN AT THE pARADERs
The Insult Is Resented and Fierce
Battle Follows.. The Police Charge
Upon the Combatants and Several
Broken Heads Result.

Belfast, Aug. IA large Nationalist
demonstration In favor OF granting am
liesty to all Irish political prisoners took
serious rioting.
An immense procession OF National
lists marched through the streets Of the
city and proceeded to Hannistoun. a
suburb of Belfast headed by bands of
music and displaying numerous ban
ners bearing inscriptions indicating the
purpose of the movement The streets
were lined with spectators who hooted,
groaned and jeered the processionists
and finally threw a few stones at the
paraders. Some Of the paraders were
armed with spears and these men made
an attack upon their tormentors despite
the efforts Of the police who were out
in full force to prevent them. A fierce
fight ensued and the police made sew
eral charges with drawn batons upon
the combatants as the result Of which
there were q great number of broken
heads. A dozen or more of the rioters
on both sides were taken to the hospital
after order was restored. All Of this
occurred before noon. Later the city
magistrates held a meeting and ordered
that the troops be in readiness to put
down the disturbances which it was
feared would occur when the paraders
returned from Hannistoun in the even
ing. Every prsbaration was according
~ made to help the police and any at
tempt at rioting and for a time the CEN
ter Of the city to which the disturb
ances Of the morning were confined
was quiet although the streets Were
alive with excited people.
The procession returned to Belfast in
the evening when it was soon seen that
the misgivings of the authorities We're
not unfounded. AS the procession ap-
preached the city the greatest excite
ment prevailed. A number of oppo-
sition mobs had gathered along the in
tended route of the procession on it's
return with the object of making an
attack upon the paraders and to pre-
vent rioting of the most active charac-
ter the police barred the route which
had been laid out for the return march
of the procession and turned the pa
rade off into another direction. In the
meantime heavy rain began falling
but this had not the slightest effect in
diminishing the size of the crowds
which thronged the streets nor in al
laying the excitement of the people.
