A CENT FOR EACH YEAR.
The High School Girls Give a
Social for the Training
Home.
A Unique Graduation of the Prices of
AdmiSSion-A Generous Sum
Raised.

The "middlers" of the Girls High
School gave a merry reception and social
yesterday afternoon from 2 TO O'Clock at
their big brick building, corner of Geary
and Scott streets. The young ladies very
practically made business the prime OBJ
iect of the affair and charged an admis-
sion fee, the sum total of which was pre-
sented to the California Girls Training
Home, located at 147 Natoma street.
The method adopted was that each
guest should pay upon entrance cent for
every year of his or her age. With the
boys the rates ranged from % to 25 cents.
A good many whose appearance spoke of
callow youth were beyond the last "teen"
milestone, but there was a monetary
virtue in the deception and it passed with
its owner an easy scrutiny.
With the girls the rate ran lower, stand
ing at Is. AS the doorkeepers were of
that sex there was a strong disposition in
many cases to question the age of the fair
applicant for admission, but upon ma
turer reflection the calamity vas averted
The class officers of the "midders" are
Miss Lille E. McGill, president; Miss
Claire Gossip, president; reception
committee-Miss Sadie Wangenheim,
Miss Ethel Buneman; floor managers
Miss Alice Jobson, Franc Milroy; COM
mittee of rangements-Camille Meyer
Annet Bennett. During the reception
the following literary and musical pro-
gramme was rendered:
Musical selection, Miss E. Ross recita-
ton, Miss NJ. Muller; vocal solo, Miss l.
Wilhelm; piano selection, Miss q. Israel );
recitation, Miss ]. Seavey; vocal solo, Miss
II. Lask recitation, Miss L. Dow: music
by Randall's Hungarian orchestra. Re-
freshments were served to the guests at
the close of the literary exercises.
The Girls Training Home, for which the
reception and entertainment were held,
contains twentv-nine inmates under the
care of Mrs. L. B. Fischer. A short time
ago the senior class of the Girls High
School gave reception for the benefit of
the institution which netted the home
about $50.
Mrs Fischer received permission from
the Board OF Education to visit the city
schools and request the classes to get up
entertainments of some simple character
in the interest OF the Home. The Girls
High School is the first place Mrs. Fischer
has gone to for his donation and gen.
erous sum for the Home is the result.
The girls of the High School have prom
lsed to maintain at their own expense
four rooms in the Home.

before tying her up at Martinez Captain
Howard saw 10 it that she was in first
class order. Under his vigilant eye every
little repair necessary was made, and in
consequence the Zealandia will go out
with every department in perfect workin g
order. She is sister ship to the Australia
and should make good time between here
and Australia.
"Where is the schooner Lotus P" That
is the question that is troub bling
Captain Pearson. Last Wednesday he
left the little craft tied up at Howard
street wharf, ard next morning when he
came back to the front the schooner was
gone and not a trace of her has been
found. During the night some one threw
off the mooring lines and silently sailed
away. Pearson is frantic over his loss, as
the little vessel was his 'all in all' and
outside of her he has no means OF earning
q livelihood. The Lotus was formerly a
sloop, but when Pearson bought her he
turned her into a schooner. She has been
engaged in trading around the bay, and
has several times been engaged by duck
hunters to go 10 the Suisun marshes. She
is we'll known from Vallejo to Alviso, and
recognize her a mile off. Nevertheless
she has disappeared as completely as
though she had been sunk to the bottom
of the bay.
The United States Fish Commission
steamer Albatross arrived yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock from Bering Sea. where

By the barkentine Tropic Bird, which
arrived last evening from Papeeti, it is
learned that the Nicsraguan brig Salvador
came into that port November 2, sixty
seven days from Astoria bound for Callao-
The vessel was leaking badly, having
been strained by the rough weather she
had encountered. Her deckload of lum-
Der had been thrown overheard. She in
tended to make the needed repairs and
proceed on her voyage to Callao, Peru.
The Norwegian bark Fabez, from Sgd
ney, arrived in Papeete with cargo of

Sea Otter Furs

day gave decision in the case of C. +. RydelI
and number OF seamen of the steam
schooner Herman against the Pacific Trading
Company. The men shipped on sea otter
hunting voyage and the catch was eighty
five sea otter furs. dispute arose as to the
amount OF money due the men, who were to
be paid according TO the market price of the
furs. The company held that the furs we're
worth only $50 apiece, while the men con-
tended that they should be peid on basis of
$500 per pelt and that this figure was the cur
rent price. Judge Morrow spit the difference
and directed that each man be paid mis- pro-
the market price.

j. r. Smith and Paul Ayhens Escape
on a Technfcaiity.
Judge Wallace has sustained the de m ur-
rers in the cases of J. F. Smith and Paul
Ayhens, who stood charged with perjury,
and the accusations against thsm were
thrown out of court.
The point made by Alto rneys GuiIfoyle
and Dunno was that the information filed
by the District Attorney was not gram
matically worded and did not specifically Y
set forth that the defendants mad really
committed the crime of perjury in swear
ing that the names on Cal Ewing's nomi-
mating petition, under the Australian bal
lot law, were genuine.
Judge Wallace asked that all the papers
be submitted to his inspection, and after
careful scrutiny announced that he con-
sidered the point we'll taken, that the in
formations were fatally defective. and or
Gered the defendants discharged from GUS
tody.

In old times the same man often spell

and even now members of the same

for one reason or another. Sometimes
it Is a matter Of taste, sometimes 1t Is
a matter Of education.

His Fare.

Archibald Forbes. the famous war
correspondent, once told an amusing
story connected with a lecture which
he delivered at West Chester, Pennsyl-
vania. On arriving at the station in
that place a negro hackman pressed
forward, and offered his services to
take the lecturer to the hotel. On ar
irving at his destination, Mr.. Forbes
asked the hackman what his fare was.

comprehensive grin, IF you'd Jess

'T's got a missis.''
We'll, you shall have one for he: !,

requested his agent to hand the man
the tickets. That evening he looked
about the hall for his colored a6mirer,
but saw nothing Of him. The next
morning, on ordering a hack to 60 to
the station, he discovered that the
vehicle was driven by the same man.

a MANS GREATEST HELP.
The Rest Thing In All the World 10
to Have Had a Good Mother.

The Rest Thing In All the World IL
to Have Had Good Mother.
Noting the tendency Of mothers to e.
cape the care and responsibility of
training their own children, resorting
to nurses, governesses, kindergartens,
ETC., Edward w. Box, In the Ladies'
Home Journal, vigorously contends
that woman should consider her God
given duties to her children vastly
paramount to every "claim" that can
be made upon her time. 1T is one OF
the most baleful tendencies of the
times" writes Mr.. Box, that young
children are placed SO much and SO en-
tirely in the hands of nurses, and SO far
away from their mothers. I do not
think that women exactly realize what
the early teachings and influences Of a
mother mean to a man when he
reaches years Of maturity. The time
which boy spends at his mothers
knee Is never forgotten by the man.
Our morality is learned there. Our
characters are formed there. We are
most imppssionable when we are in q
stage Of absolute dependence upon
Others. What sort of q recollection is
1T for man to look back to line Of
nurses OF governesses? What moral
stimulus does he receive from the rec
objection of mother inevitably reading
some novel and resting in a languid
stupor with fan and smelling bottley
What moral fiber Is instilled into q
child who sees his mother only as she
fits before him between morning calls,
luncheons, meetings, teas, drives, din
ners and theater parties? What does
a boy learn at the knee of a nurse
Good? Perhaps. But just as often he
learns that which is not good.
Many a man has stood at the forks Of
the road in his life, brokcn-hearted and
perplexed, only to have his mothers
words, uttered to him when a child,
come before him and point him the
way. 1t is then that he realizes that
the best thing in the world to man is
to have had good mother, watchful,
tender and anxious, as only a mother
can be where her child Is concerned. In
those supreme moments the lesson
taught-not by the nurse, not by a
stranger. not at the kindergarten, but
at the mothers knee-becomes a pre-
cious recollection and benediction. 1t
means then mans salvation. And in
that quiet moment a man thinks of a
good mother as he never thinks of any
other woman. A look of tenderness
comes into his eyes, feeling Of soft
ness creeps into his heart, and the atti-
tude Of his earliest infancy comes to
him as, unconsciously, he looks upward
and breathes to himself the most pre-
cious of all words: Mother 1t re-
mains for the mothers of to-day to de-
termine how much that word will mean
to the men of to- morrow"

A TALK ON DYSPEPSIA.

A Disease OF Civilization-1ts Symp.
toms-How to Cure 1t.
Dyspepsia Il said to be disease Of
civilization. Savages know nothing
about 1t. The disease has become do
mesticated in America and We as
people have threatened to monopolize
It. Few disorders infiict upon their
victims greater suffering. yet dyspep-
sia is not particularly dangerous and
seldom causes death. 1t permits the
sufferer to linger in misery for the al
lotted term of life.
The complaint usually begins with q
sense Of fullness, tightness and weight
In the stomach after meals, and a d.
unfinished or lost appetite. Flatulency
and sour stomach are also common, and
there s often nervousness, vomiting
and general distress. Dizziness is also
q prominent symptom, and an "all
gone" feeling in the stomach. Some
times the patient has bad taste in the
mouth, headache, heartburn aud palpi-
tation.
Dyspepsia is the result Of disturbed
or interrupted functions OF the StOm"
ach and digestive organs. The cure
consists In restoring these functions.
II the stomach is too weak to digest
food 1t must be strengthened. This
must be done through the blood, which
js the medium that carries strength and
nourishment to all the organs. Hoods
6arsaparilla Is the One True Blood
Purifier and it cures dyspepsia by pur-
flying and enriching the blood, CON-
bned with its direct action upon the
stomach and its secretions. Perhaps
in no way has Hoods Sarsaparilla re-
lieved greater suffering than in its cures
OF dyspepsia. which are indeed legion.
If you are suffering from this disease,
give Hoods Sarsaparilla fair trial at
once. 1t will tone and strengthen your
stomach. give you an appetite and
strength and relieve the pains and mis-
cries Of dyspepsia.
