The sailor hat has appeared again
as usual at this time of year, and the
monotony of style is relieved little
by two shapes instead of one. The
fine straw sailor has a narrower brim
and higher crown than the one worn
last season, and the pretty rough straw
sailor, with wider brim and low
crown and trimmed with flowers and
ribbon is one of the prettiest hats
worn. OF course, the sailor proper
has no trimming except the band, and

MORPHINE "FIEND." ("
Henry Dixon Attempts to Commit
Suicide in the City
Prison.

Henry Dixon, young man who is a
physical wreck from the use of morphine,
attempted to commit suicide in cell in
the City Prison yesterday afternoon.
He and five others were arrested last
Wednesday for vagrancy, and Dixon was
sentenced on Friday to six months in the
County Jail. He was constantly begging
the prison officials to give him morphine,
but his pleadings were useless.
Yesterday he broke the handle off an
iron bucket in his cell, and when no one
was watching him, he cut his arm with
the rough end of the handle, and then
used it as saw with the object of cutting
all the arteries.
The other prisoners gave the alarm, and
Dixon was taken to the Receiving Hospi-
tai, wherere DR.. FitZglbbon dressed his
wounded arm, and he was taken back to
prison.
Captain Robinson thought that Dixon
never contemplated suicide, but cut his
arm simply to try and create sympathy
so that he could get "shot" of the drug.

cants is Colonel Frank w. Sumner, who
served with distinction as paymaster-gen-
eral on the staff OF Governor Markham.
AS tactician in military sense he is by
far the superior of all other applicants,
but he is classed as Republican in poll
tics. What he lacks in respect to party
devotion may be offset by personal influ-
ence.
Colonel Nat T. James is mentioned as
an aspirant, but his recent promotion
from manager of an insurance company
to the rank of colonel is thought by many
to be the full measure of his ambition.
He is, nevertheless, regarded by all COM
petitors for the place as dangerous wire,
because he enjoys the special confidence
of the commander-in-chief. Colonel
James was educated at Annapolis for
service in the United States navy, but
this would not disqualify him from lead

The Naval Reserve monitor Comanche
and the cruiser Charleston had visitors
day aboard, and number of tugs carried
passengers to and from the two vessels.
The monitor, with her white awnings
spread, colors flying, officers and men in
mastering uniform, tried to hide her age
and appear Amazon-Iike in the presence of
her big but younger sister lying very fresh
and fair few hundred yards away. Not
withstanding the years that have tramped
heavily over her old, worn decks the Co.
manche makes a brave show, and crouch
ing low in the water looks all the fight that
was in her a quarter of century ago.
The Charleston in new, snowy coat of
paint looked as youthful as when she left

Colonels Chadbourne, Vail and Sanborn of
| the Governors staff went out to the vessel
first visiting Lieutenant-Command Tur-

cruiser. Aboard of the warship all the
visitors were shown every courtesy and es-

band discoursed patriotic melodies.

On the 18th of June the fifteen survivors
of the British sealing schooner Catherine,

coast, arrived at HaKodate.
While on her way from Hakodate to
Yokohama recently the cruiser was given
a speed trial under natural and ran for
four hours logging an average of 20.4

squadrons respectively.
The German ship Christine arrived in
this port yesterday, sixty-four days from
Sydney. n. S. W., being twenty days
slower than on her former trip.
Nothing of any importance occurred on
her voyage until last Friday afternoon,
when she reached point about forty miles
northerly from Point Reyes. There she
was sighted by the steamer Mineola
headed toward the shore under full
spread of canvas. A heavy fog was on the
sea and Captain Warneke of the Christine
was evidently away off his bearings. The
Mineola sounded a warning blast with her
whistle and signaled in the international
code, Breakers ahead of you," and in
structed the ship to steer wide of the land.
The Christine answered and changed
her course. The two vessels ran on the
same course, the steamer gradually draw
ing away from the sailer.
Suddenly the ship was observed 10 haul
her wind and head again for the shore.
Captain Pillsbury again warned the ship
OF danger and the signal was answered.
Presently the fog hid both vessels. but the
steamer turned and sought out the Chris
tine, and found her when the fog lifted
about mile from the breakers. The Min
cola steamed in close to the ship and gave
her the true course. Her captain must
have followed these instructions faithfully,
as his vessel arrived safely IN port.

ELDER TANNER SPEAKS
Exhorts Members of the Mormon Mis-
sion to s'seek First the King
dom of God

Elder Henry S. Tanner, president of the
California Mormon Mission, addressed a
large audience in Pythian Castle last night
upon the text "Seek First the Kingdom of
God.' In the course of his address Elder
Tanner said:
1.-The church represents Christ's spiritual
kingdom and governs the spiritual con-
Germs, and only those who accept the gos-
pei can become mem bers of the church;
but when the kingdom of God is wholly in
effect it will govern the civi, or tenn poral
as well as the spiritual, and nations may
be members of the kingdom though not
members of the church, for all men will be
permitted to worship God according to the
dictates of their conscience.
The spiritual kingdom, dealing with
spiritual man, has an external or visible
organization, consisting of apostles, proph-
cts, pastors and teachers Gifts and bless
ings follow the believers and those who
conform to the laws of repentance and re-
demption through Jesus, and will work a
reformation in the hearts of the people and
make them better in every way"

noon.
Gas Used by Three Men Who Made
Up Their Minds to
"Quit"

The Morgue wagon was kept busy yes
terday forenoon, no less than six cases
having been reported before the noon
hour. Of these three were suicides by the
gas avenue of exit.
William Hanson, aged 49, native OF
Germany and widower, who resided at
920 Buchanan street, was found by Mrs.
Juncker, who smelled escaping gas in the
room occupied by Hanson. She notified
the police and the patrol wagon was sent
out to take him to the Receiving Hos
pital, but before he reached there he died,
and the body was taken to the Morgue in
stead
1t is surmised that he became dis
heartened over the conditions of the will
left by his wife, who died a short time
since. She left him 81, giving the re-
mainder of her property to her children
by former husband. The deceased left
two children, son and a daughter. He
was member of the Knights of Honor.
William Mccormack, solicitor for any
thing that came in his line, saw fit to take
his leave by the same agency as Hanson.
He resided at 2028 Fulton street, and was
aged 45 years. A collection of well-writ-
ten poetry was found among his effects,
toll or friends weep over his death.
| Simon Askins, aged 81, native of Rus
sia and discharged soldier of the United
| States army, with first-class character,
followed the others by the same means at
957 Market street.
The case of Askins left no doubt of his
suicide, as he left letter for his wife CIV
ing full instructions to apply to the mill
| tary authorities at the Phelan building to
| have him inferred i'll the National Gene
terry at the Presi6io, and also to apply to
the United States Government pension
agent for pension as his widow, saying
that the amount gwen her would support
her and their two boys until such time as
they could help themselves.
AskinS' discharge showed that he had
served in the Federal army for two years
as a volunteer during the late war. After
ward, in 1866, enlisted in the regular
army and served twentyfour years, max
| ing twenty-six years service altogether;
his last discharge being dated July 1895.
| Another letter was directed to the Cor
oner informing him that there would be
no necessity to hold post mortem over
his body as he committed suicide.
Harry w. Parker, aged 80 years, died
suddenly from natural causes at 500 Bush
street.
Louise Vasselin, aged n, a native of
France, was found dead in her bed at 393
