broom in bag fashion, tying it closely with
string run in the upper~Bem. The best

The latest tribute to the powers of the

that bicycle riding rrc es the high in

long been held accountable for the South

The Quarterback Abolished.

The difference between the modern steam
vessel and the old-time saiIing-ship is
marked in many ways, one of which is the
post of command. On sailing-ships and
the earlier steamers the captains and the
of1lcers post was on the quarterback,
which was as far ait as it was possible to
go. On the steamer of to-day the quarter
deck is abolished, except as promenade
for passengers, and orders are given from
the bridge, we'll forward OF amidships, and
sufficiently elevated to give view OF the
vessel from stem to stern. This is fire.
auently as high as the maintop of sail
ing-ship, and except for the stormcloths
that surround it IN winter, is fully ex-
posed. Ocean steamships have no covered
p'lot-houses, as the sound and river steam
ers do, but on the bridge. where every roll
of the ship is exaggerated, the captain and
his aids maintain their constant lookout,
while even at that height they are occa-
sionally drenched with spray.-New York
Tribune.

fourth remedy for preserving the safety of the
ship consists OF means whereby leaking may
be stopped.
Twenty-Five years ago proposed the use of
collision mats; one of them was exhibited at
the Vienna Exhibition, and every man-of-war
OF every nation has them now. Lately / have
improved the apparatus but although they are
invaluable on men-of-war do not think they
will be ever accepted for merchant ships, be-
cause i'll order to use them to advantage the
crew must be regularly drilled. l do not say
the mats are useless for commercial ships, but
there are now more important improvements
which have prior claims 10 our attention.
Now | return to the second remedy. The gen.
eraI opinion is that the colliding blow is SO
very powerfullthat nothing can minimize the
effect of it; but l can give proofs that even
when the force of the blow is comparatively
slight the skin of the ship is penetrated. 1t is
a matter of fact that the vertical stem acts as
knife and that very little energy is required
to penetrate the skin of the ship which is run
into.
We know, for instance that the Crathie, the
steamer which sank the big ocean liner Elbe,
was of very small dimensions, and struck
when she was going at a very moderate rate of
speed. Everybody knows that the Elbe went
to the bottom in a very short space of time and
only few of the passengers and crew were
saved. was witness to a similar case in the
Bosphorus. Russian steamer, Azove, touched
big French mail steamer, the Provence. The
speed of the Azove at the moment of collision
was not more than two or three knots, but her
stem made a hole in the skin of the Provence,
and the latter Immediately went to the bot

The following letter from Colonel Hawes

the Cheshire Cheese and of DR.. Samuel and OF

and attention to the subject, and is one of
the foremost men of his time in investiga-
tions of this kind.

clergyman on board the christening took
place, and the baby was named Ethel
Corona Seldel, the latter being the family
name.
When the Corona left Eureka among the
cabin passengers were A. C. SeideI and
wife. The latter was seasck almost from
the time the steamer left Humboldt Bay
and she grew gradually worse until Ii
P. NJ. on Monday. Captain Doran was no.
tined and was at first inclined to be angry
with the husband. When he saw the
anxiety on his face, however, he relented
ana at once had the bridal cham Der, the
most commodlous quarters on the ship,
placed at Mrs. SeidePs disposal. There
little Ethel Corona was born and there she
spent the hrst twenty-four hours of herlifG.
When Mrs. Seidel was first taken sick hcS
husband seemed very anxious to keep b p
name from the captain. When asked
what 1t was he answered, "W Nav"
When seen on the wharf after the steamer
had docked he said it was "A G.. White"
However, 1t only took few moments to
find out the true name of the couple. as
the mum ber of their steteroom had to cor
respond with the purser's passenger list.
AfterWard he explained that his anxiety
was due solely to the fact that he did not
want 1t known that his wife had given
olrth to her first child at sea.
Mrs: SeIdei Is very pretty little woman,

Westbound Tariff on Freight Is Not

The Panama Railroad Company, through
its general agent, E. H. Hinton. in this
City, is issuing circulars giving rates of
freight from New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore and points common
with each to San Francisco. This new
schedule does not show any reduction on
the old rates. 1t shows, however, that the
truce very recently established by the
Panama and Pacific Mail corporations is
not working as pleasantly as was antici-
pated at first. The Panama Company was
not able to satisfy the Pacific Mail and G.
2. Huntington, its guiding beacon, and
now it has come to pass that the former is
endeavoring to get share of the business
in freight from Eastern cities to San

FAIR CH|LDREN'S CLAIMS,
They Will Be Sold Under an
Order Made by Judge
Slack.
Collateral Inheritances Which Will
Be Bought at Their Face
Value.

The interests of the minor collateral
heirs to the Fair estate are to be sold.
Judge Slack issued the order yesterday in
pursuance of testimony previously given
and of an affidavit sent from Ida County,
H., by Thomas E. Fair, father of the
children whose interests are to be sold.
This bears out the statement made by
The CALL two months ago, and vocifer-
ously denied in certain quarters.
In his affidavit Fair says that owing to
the failure of crops and the low prices of
farm products for several years past, his
income from the farm has been very small.
and he has become involved in consider
able amount of debt and has been forced
to mortgage his farm in order to meet the
actual expenses OF his family. He says
further that all the children are living
with him and are dependent upon him for
their support and education.
There are no schools near his house,
affiant says. and owing to mis- financial con-
dltlon 1T frequently happens that those OF
the children who are old enough to work
upon the farm are de eJained from school in
order to assist with the farm work. He
says his wife and himself are both very
anxious that their children be afforded
better opportunities for education and ad-
vancement in life than it is possible for
them, with their limited means, and if the
minors can come into their estates, affiant
will be enabled, from the income there
from, to provide more suitably for his
children.
But if, as is quite possible, the estate of
James G. Fair be involved in litigation,
and remain undistributed for years, the
opportunity to attend schools and to take
full advantage of the legaces will have
been passed and the principal value of the
legacies will be lost. The affiant therefore
prays that the court allow the interests to
be sold, provided, however, that not less
than SILL II be accepted for each.
No action was taken in the cases of the
Lundy children, as no affidavit has yet
been received from their parent, and Judge
Slack is unwilling to order their interests
sold until such affidavit as to their fnan-
cial condition be forthcoming.

Location South Of South San
Francisco.
The Health and Police Com mittee of the
Board OF Supervisors paid visit yesterday
TO the site selected by Mayor Sutro for the
Pesthouse. The block is situated on the
bay shore south of South San Francisco,
and while considered choice spot so far
as danger to the City is concerned, it is so
hard OF access, on account of the road lead
ing to 1t, the mem bers of the committee
gave 1T as their opinion that unless the
road is vastly improved the site will not do.
The Hospital Committee OF the Board
OF Health made an attempt to reach the
proposed site, but failed because the
vehicle conveying the party broke down.
Secretary Godchaux was gazing despair
lngly at the wrecked carriage when Her
man Schussler, the engineer of the Spring
