ALL FOR SWEET CHARITY
Pupils of the Pacific Heights
Public School Hold a
Fair.
For a Bed in the Children's Hospital
to Be Named After the
School.

The Pacific Heights School was thronged
yesterday afternoon by the pupils and
their friends, the occasion being a charity
fair, managed by the teachers and pupils,
to raise funds with which to establish
bed at the Children's Hospital. This is
the second fair held recently at the school
in aid of this noble cause. The first fair,
held about three weeks ago, netted in the
neighborhood of $3.50.
Every room in the building was thrown
open to the visitors. The whole afternoon
was one continuous round of festivities.
The whole affair was managed, without q
single disturbance, by the principal, Miss
A. NJ. Stincen, and her corps of able
teachers. The fortune-telling booth and
gypsy camp, in charge of Misses Noon
and Martin, was one of the most popula r
booths. The rattle booth, superintended
| by Miss Roberts, and the candy booth, in
charge of Miss Zweybruck, were sur
! rounded by an eager throng all the after
noon.
| The lemonade and chocolate booths,
under the supervision of Misses Burnham
and Bliven, were especially well patron
| lied. The five icecream booths, under the
| general supervision of Miss Earl, were
taxed to their utmost capacity. The fish
pOuo kldU-Ddk, O1TeCblOn OF
| Misses Bush and Church, were the source
of great amusement to the children. In
addition to the teachers in charge of
| booths Misses Morrison, Banks, Cotrel
and Thompson were busy receiving the
visitors.
| Two entertainments were given durin g
| the afternoon by the pupils of the school.
| From 2 o'clock to half past the following
excellent programme was rendered by the

skins. Having neglected to supply them
selves with tents, cartridges and other
necessary paraphernalia, the boys were
compelled to camp under tree in the out
skirts of San Mateo for the first night, but
they made the best of bad bargain and
slept on their arms, in true frontier STYLE
In the morning Seigle. who carried a
pistol, as well as toy rifle, started out to
forage for food for the encampment. He
had not gone very far before he met a
burly tramp plodding along the road, and
confded to him his mission in search of
Indian scalps, and exhibited his pistol.
The weapon seemed to be just what the
knight of the road had been looking for
for long time, for he promptly confis-
Gated it and admonished the youthful
searcher for blood to go home to his
mamma and be good boy.
Young Seigle at once returned to his
companions and reported the loss OF the
most important portion of the arsenal.
After a council of war held on empty
stomachs the boys concluded that hunting
Indians in a country where trsmps abound
was not so much fun after all, and that
they would return for parental forgive
ness. Sympathetic strangers furnished
the funds to return them to San Fran
cisco and their fathers did the rest.

The three youthful scaIp-hunters who
started out on Monday last without the
knowledge or consent of their parents to
kill Indians in Southern California have
returned, sans scalDs, sans arms, and are
now partaking of their meals from mantel-
pieces as the result of the corporesl correc-

The boys. the oldest of whom is IA years
OF age, are George Seigle, Twelfth and

After their departure had been reported
10 the police it was discovered that Seigle,
who recently arrived in this City from
Germany with his parents, had stolen SIC
from his mother, with which the trio had
purchased three parlor rifles and pistol
from downtown gun store.
With what remained of the money the
boys bought tickets to San Mateo, and be-

ABOUT SEAL FISHERIES,
A Joint Commission of England
and America Is to Be
Appointed.
The Only Way to Make 100 Schooners
Quit-Mrs. Shorts Work Among
the Aleuts.

Special Treasury Agent J. B. Crowley,
who is in charge of the seal islands for the
Government, who is registered at the
Occidental Hotel. yesterday received in
structions to allow the taking of no more
than &c, 600 seals this year.
Indeed, the North American Company
may not take that many. 1t all depends
ON how the seals show up at the rookeries
so Mr.. Crowley says.
II got my instructions from Secretary
Carlisle this morning." he said, land he
says not to let the number go over 10000.
l won't do that, and it is owing to circum-
stances how many short of that will be
taken. Maybe there won't be over IL, ,00O
"The seals will be two, three and four
year old bachelors, the skins weighing
from six to twelve pounds each. If 10000
can be found within reasonable extent
they will be taken. We can't tell much
about it till the seals begin to come into
the rookeries.
1.-The killing will begin as soon as ar
rive IN June, and will last till probably
August 10. l will sail on the North Amer
lean Company's steamer Homer tonight,
accompanied by J. Stanley Brown, the
agent of the company, and Assistant
Special Agent James Judge of Columbus,
Ohio. We will sail straight to Oonalaska,
and then in to the Pribalov islands.
81 understand, not officially, but from
friends in Washington, that there will be
some British and American commissioners
sent to the seal islands this year TO study
the seals in a scientific way, with the idea
of protecting the seals in future. / have
no doubt the commission will be sent. 1t
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-23
will probably be commission of seven

will probably be a commission of seven
from the two countries.
Ihe most important other thing in
connection with the seals is the Dingley
bill, introduced by Dingley of Maine, and
which has passed the House. This bill
gives the Government the right to go
ahead and kill all the seals, if it should
consider it best to do so.
81 think it is good bill. The fact is
the United States has been harassed so
long by British poachers that Dinglev
thought it might be a good thing to get in
and kill off all the seals that couId be
found. In this way We would end the
business once and for all.
"The seals are rapidly decreasing anv
way. 1t is case of Uncle Sam owning
the ranch and John Bull getting the stock.
John doesn't own the place, but he comes
in and gets the stuff off it.
Il think probably it would be a good
idea Just to wind the business up There
are not 2OO coo seals there now altogether.
In the old days the Alaska Commercial
Company used to take 100000 seals every
year, but now we have got them thinned
down so that we haven't got scarcely anv
more.
There are from 70 to 100 British schoon-
ers plying about tie sealing-grounds reg
ularly every season. If we killed off the
seals these schooners would have to stop
and go into some other business.
eve could let the rookeries go for proba-
bly, ten years, and by the end of that time
the few seals that had escaped killing
would have started them up again, and
then we could take hold Of the seals and
handle them.
81 believe it is the only feasible way. l
shall stay up there till the last of Sep
tember. There are no scientists to 20
along with US this time. Mrs. Short, an
elderly lady, who represents a charitable
organization in the East, is going on the
steamer to investigate the condition of the
native Aleuts at Oonalaska. She ha.
charge of that entire district"
Mrs. Crowley and their little daughter
went with Mr.. Crowley on this trip. He
can get no word from the United States
till October. unless one OF the Government
steamers should go there.

wrinkles nodded on her countenance by
Sculptor Time during these 106 years of
her humble existence.
She was as happy as child with a new
toy, but her new toy was new life.
For four days she had lain sick and
hungry on her humble bed IN a rickety
unpainted shanty on terrace of Tele-
graph Hill. Before that time she had
been sick Tor two weeks and then she
lay unconscious for more than half q week
with not soul to look after her, her only
visitor being faithful tomcat with black
fur and grayish yellow eyes who came
and rubbed his cheek against the old
woman's wrinkles, day by day, and purred
his affection into the ears of LA Viejita,"
the little old woman who came from
Guaymas forty years ago.
At the end of the four days some of the
neighbors discovered her and notified the
Salvation Army which brings the church
to the people when the people will not go
to the church. Cadet Middleton, a sweet
faced lassie. visited the abode of poverty
and fed the swarthy little woman until she
rallied and talked for minutes at stretch
of her troubles. All that the cadet could
do was to smile, for the ripping, flowing

Yesterday La Vieiita was happy. Two
blue-eyed Sisters of Charity, sisters of her
own faith, sat at her bedside and spoke to
her In her own tongue OF the land to which
the ebbing tide of life was carving her.
where there is neither sorrow nor care nor
weeping nor sin, nor the sharp tooth of in
| gratitude, but where the birds sing songs
OF peace within the happy hearts of God s
own poor, made rich for aye with the
wealth of his infinite and eternal love-
Something of the old volcanic fire that
slumbers in the Aztec race flashed from
the depths of the old woman's black eyes
| when she told the visitors that under the
kind care and loving words of the good
sisters and others she had gained strength
and would soon be able to take mp her
work of washing and ironing white shirts
and cooking her tortillas and frlioles as oi
yore.
"Valga me Diosl" she exclaimed, ST am
not going to ole yet; now that feel SC
well. have not lived for those hundred
and six years past to lie down and pass
away because of a little sickness and
hunger. 1t likes me not to lie here bur.
den on the backs of my friends"
Her plump little hands, with rounded
tapering fingers, clenched defantly
and smooth, they huttered and trembled
as they lay like frightened birds in the
warm palms of the man to whom she had
given her heart. Eighty years ago, in
ola Guaymas, those black eyes glittered
behind the lattice as with the sheen of 8
Spanish dagger as the voice of a gallant

First African Methodist EpiSco'
pal Zion Church in
Trouble.
WILL BE ATTACHED TO-DAY.
Promises That Would Not Pay an
Overdue Board Bill-He Filled
Empty Pews.

The Sheriff's heavy padlocks will be very
much in evidence on the doors of the First
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
on Stockton street, between Clay and Sac
ramento, to-day, unless a judgment OBJ
tanned yesterday by J. J. Rauer, the col
lector, as assignee of Rev. George c. Jack
son, is satisfied.
Rev. ]. Z. Meacham officiated as pastor
of the church during the early part of this
year but somehow his exhortatioDs did
not bring congregation or revenue to the
church. Rev. Mr.. Jackson happened to
be on an evangelical visit to this coast and
was invited to occupy the pulpit for Pc
ROD to see whether his eloquence would not
bring the sinners among the Africans of
the City to repentance. Rev. Mr.. Jackson
talked long and earnestly to his erring
brethren and many were brought to con-
fess their misdeeds. Sunday evening ser
vices became distinct events in the African
colony and many pews in the First African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church that had
previously been empty were filled to their
utmost extent.
All went well in the church until March
IL last, when Rev. Mr.. Jackson, after
waiting patiently for several weeks for an
agreed salary to put IN an appearance,
made a demand for his pay. The trus-
tees were not prepared to liquidate the
claim but made numerous promises which
the Rev. Mr.. Jackson took in good faith
and continued his preaching.
Promises would not pay his board bill,
however, and he finally filed peremptory
request for his pay. Then it was discov-
cred that the church funds, owing to un-
sufficient collections, were in bad con-
dition and the amount claimed, 1923 So.
was entirely unavailable.
Rev. Mr.. Jackson was informed that his
claim would have to wait until the treasury
was more opulent or the trustees could in
duee the wealthy members OF the congre-
CATION to go down into their pockets and
make up the deficiency.
Rev. Jackson, however, was not in q
waiting mood, and informed the trustees
that he must have money and at once.
No pecuniary response being forthcoming
bis claim was placed in the hands of the
collector, and a suit was begun in which
the trustees were designated as first Doe,
second Doe, and so on up to the fourteenth b
degree.
In the complaint the Rev. Mr.. Jackson
was designated as the spiritual pastor
and master" of the First African Metho-
dist Episcopal Zion Church.
When the case came to trial before JUS
tice Groezinger yesterday the Does, first
to fourteenth, failed to appear, and iudg-
ment was given by default against E
Cooper, Charles Anderson, J. 81. William
son, J. A. Hackett and ten other defend
ants Doe.
