Cleveland, was scout for General
Sheridan. Disguised as negro woman,
she once obtained the place of cook i'll a
Confederate fort at Atwater, Va. While
thus engaged she served the Confeder-

their coffee and put them to sleep, and
before they recovered the northern SOL
1iers had captured the fort.

FREE KICKS AND KISSES,
DR.. Jordan Addresses the Psychi'
cal Society on Mental
Evolution.
A Free Will in the Same Category as
Free Osculations and Recall.
citrations.

DR.. David Starr Jordan addressed the
California Psychical Society on 'The Evo-
luton of Mind" at Golden Gate Hall last
evening. DR.. Jordan said:
The old psychology was based upon hypoth-
eses. 1t is not received with very much favor
by the scholars of the day. The psychology OF
the present Is in sense an exact science, that
is as exact as science can be.
The freedom of the will comes under the same
category as the free kick and free kiss. If you
are permitted to kiss the osculatory act is free,
otherwise not.
mental activities. Psychic 1 would define as
pertaining to the nerve forces. These defni-
tions will suit our purpose this evening.
You will find that the function exists, al
organ which discharges it. In other words
there is thinking OF some sort done before there
is mind.
The consciousness bears about the same re-
lation to mental effort that the flame does to
fire. OF course there may be fire without
flame, but when the fire is active there is sure
to be flame.
Science knows nothing of immortality. The
whole matter is outside the realm OF psy-
ology, or if not outside psychology it is with
out the science with which 1 am acquainted:
You remember TeEnyson'S words to the
flower he plucked from Granny In the wall.
We are in the same state of mind as he. Gould
we tell what that little flower is We could tell
what man is.
The tip of plant is the sensitive part. 1t
is the motive part. The brains and muscles
of the plant are not segregated, therefore they
may hardly be called brains and muscles.
DR.. Jordan explained the structure and
system of sensory nerves. "There is a
necessity on the part of the lower animals
of automatic obedience. and reflex action
is form such obedience takes in higher
animals he said. responses to the
warnings of sensation become stereotyped
and we call them instinct" He contin-
ued:
The next step in animal rank is shown in
the power, not of obedience to instinct, but to
rise above such instinct and exercise choice
Intellect, l take it, is the ability to make q
choice
That action is good which tends to the de-
velopment of the person who performs it or to
the development of others. Sometimes that
which is good for one person may be bad toI
another.
Reconciliation of such divergent interests is
one of the chief responsibilities of this life
Your ancestors have been good people, else
you would not be here.
All nerve action is the result of information
gained from the outside. The essential char
acter of nervous action is: First, the recep
tion of the information; second, its convey
ance to the brain; third, the result as showI
in the influence upon the muscular portions.
Impulses to action are the results of mem
ories either of the individual or OF the race.

citizens as District Attorney Barnes, Fore

story, for she emerged from the room
within ten minutes after she entered. The
scene could not have been a very trying
one on her nerves, for she came out appar-
emily placid and unruffled. A male escort
adjusted her wraps about her shoulders,
and then she retired with deputy sheriff

charge in another form.
The Grand Jury is constantly besieged
by attorneys and others who desire that
cases dismissed in the Police Courts should
be taken up. Many witnesses were in
waiting yesterday to be called in such pro-
ceedings. The present Grand Jury did re-
solve in sense 20 have nothing to do with
cases which properly belong in the Police

marriage ceremony wherein Inez Mercer
and Westcott were the principals.
Mtull accounts Of the proceedings in Judge
Slack's court have been published in The
CALL. After the hearing of the applica-
tion facts were adduced to prove that the
marriage was genuine and that Isaacs was
not present at the wedding. Detective
Edward Gibson handled the case and lined
up the witnesses to sustain his findings.
Mr.. Gibson testified, and so did James R.
McElroy, clerk of Judge Slack's court.
The Grand Jury also heard the official
stenographer of the court, who had in his
possession the original notes and tram
scripts of the Isaacs testimony.
In addition to this overwhelming evil
dence, Inez Mercer herself, whose aspira-
ton for fame in the world of the drama, is
justified by her style and looks, went be-
fore the Grand Jury and produced good
impression. She made clear straightfor-

with the hearing of the case in Judge

A WAGNER CLUSTER.
Some Good Music Given at the Sym
phOny Orchestra's Con-

cert
The sixth popular concert of the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra was given
yesterday afternoon in Golden Gate Hall
to thoroughly appreciative audience.
All through the performance the music
was good, but the Wagner cluster aroused
more interest and applause than any other
part of the programme. The overture to
1.-The Flying Dutchman" was played in a
dramatic and musicianly manner which
aroused strong demand for its repetition.
The vorspiel to ''Lohengrin" was little
more rough, particularly as regards the
strings, but it was by no means an unsat-
isfactory performance. w. H. Coward s
playing of the "Song to the Evening Star"
as trombone solo fairly brought down
the house. The player was accompanied
by the pianoforte and the strings. The
march from ''Tannhauser," which was ex-
SS::cE;ly played, finished the Wagner
cluster.
The rest of the programme consisted of
Beethoven's overture, "Egmont, and the
good old "IntermeZZo" from the "Caval-
leria." The latter has not lost whit of
its popularity evidently, for the audience
insisted on its repetition.
Miss Caroline Shindler, the vocalist, was
accompanied by the orchestra in the
soprano recitation anu romance ITOHl
William Tell" and the musicians did
good work in not overpowering the young
lady's pretty, childish voice. In the songs
by GODDARD and Chadwick, which Miss
Shindler sang with piano accompaniment,
her upper notes, the best in her voice,
were heard to good effect but she in
dulged in the tremolo more than a vocalist
is justified in doing if she wants to keep a
freehold to her voice.

Secretary H. J. Mccoy introduced Mr..

ing to an audience in Scotland. When he
sang the pathetic air many in his audience
last evening were moved to tears.
Rev. DIR. w. w. Gibson made an address
full of humorous and pathetic illusions to
his long frienship for Mr. Sankey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stebbins sang Fanny Cros-

many-who desired to be presented.
