Novel Plan of Students to See
the Beauty of the Old
World.
Mr.. and Mrs. WILDER Reaser to Take
Charge of Carload of Young
Painters.

A novel trip is being arranged by the art
amateurs of this City to see different parts
OF the Old World, or that portion of the
country where most elevating inspiration
may be found. The territory sought
most is Europe, and with the end in view
of getting to that point and incidentally
the cities along the route Mr.. and Mrs.
W;Iber A. Reaser are organizing combi-
nation. The object is to make it as mex
pensive as possible and at the same time
thoroughly instructive.
The party will leave San Francisco for
New York early in April in a special car,
which will stop over at Salt Lake City,
Colorado Springs, Chicago and Niagara
Falls. One week will be spent in New
York visiting the spring exhibitions and in
general sightseeing. Reaching London
about the 1st of May the party will spe nd
two weeks studying the exhibitions, the
national museums and in seeing the great
city and its suburbs, with special attention
to the different types of character there
and along the route. The next stop will
be made i'll Rouen. the great storehouse of
Gothic architecture. One month will be
spent in Paris visiting the salons, the
Louvre, uxembourg and in general sight
seeing. Excursions will be made to Fon-
tame bleau, Barbizon, Chartres, st. Cloud,
Versailles, etc.
Leaving for Holland about June Is,
short stops will be made at Brussels,
Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent The next
two months will be spent in the ideal little
Dutch village of Rijsoord, situated on a.
beautiful river between Rotterdam and
Dordrecht. Here Mr.. Reaser will direct
class IN figure and landscape painting. Ex-
cursions will be made to all the principal
Dutch cities and galleries, including day
or two at Scheveningen, the most charm
ing of Continental watering places. A
unique feature of the trip will be a weeks
Journey in big sailboat through the
Dutch canals, stopping at picturesque lit
tie out-of-the-way places, and seeing the
fascinating Dutch peasant life as few tour
lists are privileged to see it.
The party will return to New York
about the middle of August, reaching San
FRANCISCO early in September.
Mr.. Reaser has spent many years in
Europe and is thoroughly familiar with
Inc country. He has attained considera-
pie prominence as painter.
The plan has created quite stir among
tne young people who paint. and if the
present indications amount to ANYTHING
the party will be entirely made UP in a
short time.

ever been called upon to investi-
gate was reported last Monday. Po-
liceman George Delmar, who was detailed
on the case, enioined silence till yesterday
afternoon, as he feared that publicity
would make i'm lose track of the offend
ers. In the evening, however, he had OBJ
tanned enough information to justify him
in believing that he would make the
necessary arrest to-day.
On Monday morning the officers were
called by telephone to go quickly and
shoot a horse in the stable at the rear of
43 Jessie street.
The horse belonged to a teamster, Thomas
Harkins of 48 Jessie street, and for spite to
the owner, it IS presumed, some one had
broken open the door of his stable, either
during the night or early in the morning,
and had mutilated the animal with fiend-
ish ingenuity.
The animals eyes had been gouged out
with piece of iron pipe. its fanks had
been cruelty beaten and it's feet and hoofs
battered out of shape. The wretches-for
one man could not have performed the
deed-had then tied rope round the ami
mails body and its neck, and had sus-
pended it few inches above the floor to
the roof of Its stall, so that it was in a state
of semi-strangulation when found in the
morning by its owner. Such was the
wretched animals strength and vitality,
however, that it required several shots to
kill it after the arrival of the officers.
Tom Harkins, the owner, is an intel
ligent, Woodworking young teamster, who
has stand at the corner of Second and
Mission streets. When seen last night in
his little home, on Jessie street. he said:
II went to the stable at II O'Clock on
Sunday night to water the horses, and
they were all right then. On Monday
morning [ was almost overcome by the
sight in the stable.
The door opens outward, but it had
been battered in, and that may have ac-
counted for the other two horses being un-
touched, as they would be hidden from
the people in the end stall by the door.
~ cut down the horse that they had
mutilated and found that it was standing
in pool OF blood and had no eyes. Help
was procured and we did what we could
for the animal, but we soon saw that the
most merclful thing was to have it shot.
for the creature was suffering terribly"
When asked whom he suspected of
having committed the deed, Harkins
said, "Some of the fellows around here.
] stick to my business and don't drink,
and some of them seem to bear me a
grudge for it. l should not be surprised
to find them lying for me some night;
it's pretty lonely after dark across the
vacant lot that leads to this house, and
the fellows who mutilated that horse are
murderers at heart and would not hesitate
to use up man in a brutal, cowardIy
way"
When asked whether he intended to
move from the neighborhood the team
ster replied emphaticatiy that he was not
going to be driven away by any outrages;
if they attacked him he would hit back
and try to give them taste OF the using
up they gave his horse.
Officer Delmar hopes, however, that he
will be able to arrest the miscreants and
let them work out some of their murder
Gus tendencies in the States prison.

The Investigating Committee of the Pa
cific Athletic Association Begins

bers of the associated clubs began its

A. Fields, James Delaney, +. G. Muller, L.
FL. Fentress, Henry Butler, Charles A.
Reno.
Among those questioned last night only
one was found to answer satisfactorily. in
the person of James A. Mckinley. Those
whose answers led the committee to be-
lieve them to be bordering on the profes-
sional realm will be further examined
and if their guilt is proved will be punished
by fine or suspension.
Nearly all of those examined were found
to have received medals that were not
properly inscribed and sums of money
over the $40 limit.
Next Monday evening the Olympic Club
baseball team will be examined, as charges
have been made against nearly all the
members of professionalism. After the
examiners have passed upon those of the
baseball team the athletes of all the clubs
will again be dealt with in turn.
The examination includes those who
have competed in events and received
prizes during the year 1886.

HAS n SUPERB VOICE.
Miss Ellen Beach Ta,c Makes Her Metro
ToIitan Debut,

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 21.-Miss FL
len Beach Yaw, young Californian
soprano, who made highly successful
tour through the provinces last season,
made her metropolitan debut at Carnegie
Hall this evening. Her voice is of pure
soprano quality and most remarkable
range, with the breadth and depth of a
contralto in the lower register, and easily
reaching the heights affected by Di Murska
and Gerster in days gone by, and retaining
throughout its entire register a roundness
ard volume truly remarkable in a young
woman OF such slight physique.
Miss Yaw had the valuable assistance of
Signor Campanani of Abbey and Graus'
forces, Maximilian Dick, violinist, and an
orchestra under the direction of Herr An
ton Seidl.

teen mining properties of good standing

dress explaining that the board would not
be limited to dealing in gold and silver
stocks and properties, but would extend
its facilities to all valuable minerals 1t
would be the aim of the board to bring the
dormant mining interests of the country
into vltalized activity. He regarded
mining as perfectly legitimate business,
not beneath the highest standard of bank
ing, manufacturing or merchandising.
Many notable mining men from the West
ern fields were present. rush of appli-
cations for listing is expected from the
West, but all will have to pass a rigid ex-
animation,
