der 10 have place where physical eX-
amina,ions of cadets may be given.
This matter was then considered and
II was ordered that fee Of 30 cents per
term be collected from each student by
the treasurer of the University for the
support of such dispensary; and that
room be painted and papered in the
basement of one Of the University bui.d-

purpose of giving immediate attention
TO students who may need L."
For this fee Dr.. Hartigan is to render
free medical attendance and attention
for eli students who desire his medical
services whenever needed. Il appears
that it was passed upon the recOmmen-
dation OF TWO men. None of the stu
dents were aware OF its existence till
they were confronted at the treasurer
desk with the demand for fifty cents per
term for dispensary fee. Many students
sought their fav0rite professors and in

GEORGE. .CROCKER'S TRUST
He Now Receives one.Eighth Of
His Fathers Immense
Fortune. -.
Besides an Extra Half Million in
Railroad Bonds-Wilt Spend the
Winter in New York.

The termination of the Crocker trust
before Judge Daingeffed last Tuesday
makes an important change in the inter-
ests of the members of the Crocker family
toward the. fortune left by the late Charles
Crocker. 1t was generally supposed at
the time of the publication of mis- will
that the undivided one-sighth of his for
tune which would have passed 10 bis son
George was lett to his. widow and two
sons Charles F. and William III. Crocker.
By the proceedings had in the matter of
the Crocker trust before Judge danger
field Tuesday different state of affairs
from that supposed to exist was disclosed.
The one:eighth interest. while nominaliy
bequeathed to the widow and two sons,
was in fact left to them under q secret
trust agreement, the conditions of which
having been fulfilled, that interest. to-
gether with its entire accumulated income
for more than eight years past, was turned
over by the trustees to George Crocker by
order of the court Tuesday, besides the
half-million dollars worth of Southern
Pacific branch railway bonds also held in
trust, the result being that to-day George
Cfocker stands vested with. full. interest
in all of the properties of the late Charles
Crocker equally with his brothers, Charles
r. and William II. Croker. :.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Crocker will close
their California-street house shortly and
expect to- spend the winter in New York.

four months in China, going to the 1nte-
rior. He says an enormous number of
Bibles are being distributed in those two
countries in fact all over the world.
They are having their effect, though to
some it might seem slow.
DR.. Marshall. in explanation OF this, as
an Illustration, said: IAN unknown man
at an early day visited the Nez Perce In
dians of the n Northwest He had Bible.
and read from it and prayed. The Indians
asked about it and were told the book
pointed out the way 10 heaven. Three
Indians afterward came all the way to. st.
Louis to get one of the books. An account
OF fit was published in a Pitisbufg paper.
A young man working in sawmill in
New York read it. He decided to take
his bride and go as a missionary to the
Indians. His wife did no. wish to go
unless another woman would. They per-
suaded man and woman to go.
''It was DR.. Spauldinr and wife and the
young man was DR.. Whitman and his
wife. DR.. Whitman afterward, by peril
Gus midwinter ride, reached Washington
and saved an enormous part of our coun-
try from Incoming British territory.
f'It is thus that our mission work is
being extended, oftentimes great results
being obtained in what would at first
seem mysterious ways: Last year l trav-
eled over 81, 600 miles.
THE interest in mission work is in
crea.ing steadily. We now print and dis
tribute free. naying the postage to distant
parts, a very large amount of religious
matter. 1t goes everywhere and various
religious organizations are equipped
with it.
"The Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeagor is also aiding in send
ing out great deal of excellent printed
matter. 1t is great factor in this kind
of work. When | was on q tour of the
Orient and other countries / visited parts
of the Himalayas and other remote places.
Everywhere | went I was impressed with
the Importance of mission. work. The
good from it, l lam on,inced, is enormous.
No man can properly estimate it.
While the doctor was minister of the st.
Louis church he was made synodical mis-
sionary for the Synod of Missouri. He
had been fifteen years as pastor in ST.
Louis, and occupied the otner position
ove& six years. 1t was then that he went
abroad, and on his return was appoin ted
to the position he now holds.
Dr. Marshall territory as first secretary
is mainly west of the Alleghenies. Since
his arrival in California he has delivered.
sixteen sermons in various places. He
will now go to Los Angeles and Pasadena.

SENATOR PERKINS ESTIMATE
Protection Has Come to Be- Recognized
as the Needed Thing to Bring
Relief.

The atmosphere about the Republican
State Central Committee rooms has be-
come charged with political ozone.
1t is now question of what the major
ity will be.
Senator Perkins arrived Tuesday from
Humboldt County; Major. Kyle came in
from tour through Mendocino County.
Both of them say that the change in the
political aspect in those northern districts
from Bryan and free silver to Mckinney
and prosperity amounts to nothing short
of slump
Senator Perkins says that Humboldt
County is. good for 600 votes over and
above all for neutrality-suspicious. 800.
Mendocino is the most radical within a
short period of time that he has ever wit
messed. Both men account for it all on
the simple grounds that the people have
begun to think for themselves.
Party lines no longer hold up there. !"
said Major Kyle Tuesday. It has become
simply business question with the wool
growers and lum ber men in that district.
They seek a speedy return of prosperity:
They have discovered that this cry of free
silver is simply delusion and realize that
protection to their industries is the thing
really needed
Senator Perkins has travelled through
more than forty counties of the State
since the opening of the campaign. III
the expression of the people amounts
TO anything" he said, ''the ball
ance of the State will come to San Fran
cisco with 50O0 majority for Mckinley.
The change i'll the sentiment within the
last two months has been. most remarka-
bic. Two months ago the silver craze was
rampant throughout all the country dis
tricts; but education has been going on,
the people have been earnestly studying
the question of the hour, with the result
that protection has come TO the 'front.'
and, through the votes cast next Tuesday
will be demanded by the people at the
hands of their representatives at Wash
.ington as soon as it may be- given them.
Why, just think of ii, the wool crop of
Hum boldt County in 1892, prior to Mr..
Bryan's meddling with the revenue laws
sold for $l78,595 62. In 1898. after Mr.
Bryan and the other free-traders had let
in the wool of the world, it amounted to
just $65, 80. This year the price averages
10 the farmer 10 cents. In 1892 he realized
an average OF 22H cents per pound.
Would it not be wonder indeed, if the
wool-grower did not vote for Mckinley :?
The same conditions exactly obtain in
the lumber business -

Sch1essinger s. Co. for $7S, 4S1 &c.
Fred Frantz ana 7. B. Endert, executors
of the will of Horace Gasquet. have sued
Porter, Schlessinger & Co. for $7S, ,4S1 76.
Gasquet, who died at st. Mary's Hos
pital or January 81, 1885, was a store
eeper of Del Norte County. He dealt
with Porter, Schlessinger & Co., who
acted as his bankers and with whom he
always Kept large balance.
Joseph Kahn, a member of the shoe
firm, was a personal friend OF GasQuet,
and the storekeeper visited him at his
home whenever he came to San Fran
cisco. While Gasquet lay sick at the
hospital during his last illness Kahn did
what he. .coulo for him. and in return for
this kindness Gasquet drew a check on
his bankers for the balance to his credit
and gave it to Kahn to hold in trust for
his (kahn's) children, of whom the de-
ceased was very fond.
Gasquets executors made demand on
Porter, Schlessinger & Co. for the money
they supposed was in their hands, amount
ing to $26 160 90. and, on being informed
of the circumstances in the case, brought
suit for that amount and $50, 32l 81
damages for the alleged Withholding of

Mo1lie Traynor's Prosecutor Is Con-
victed of Illegally Using the
MaiIs

In the United States District Court yes
terday Thomas Williams, the Bill Sykes
of Oakland, was convicted of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. The
crime is believed to have caused young
woman to commit suicide.
About three months ago MolIie Traynor
ended her life by taking an. overdose OF
morphine. On the person of the dead was
found letter written by Williams. The
document was full of vague threats, and
further contained obscene and vulgar lam
guage. The writer was later arrested on a
civil charge, and while in Jail addressed
letter to Miss Traynor.
As soon as his term in the Alameda
County Jail expired, Williams was ar
rested by Postal Inspector Irwin on the
charge already named. His defense at
the trial Yesterday was plain denial that
he wrote the incriminating letters. The
jury was out but a few moments. return
ing verdict of guilty as charged. The
convicted man will be senten ced Monday.
The extreme limit for such crime is i've
years imprisonment and fine OF $4,000.

Club.
Governor Budd Also Spoke on
the Issues of the
seq Campaign.
CD. LANE was THE CHAIRMAN
Thomas v. Gator and Reel 3. Terry
Discuss the Free Silver
Question.
C.D.LANE was THE CHAIRMAN


g The Women's Bryan Free-silver Club
entertained the voters OF San francisco
with spirited meeting at the California
Theater last night. About sixty ladies
were seated on the platform.
The meeting was called to order by
George P. Keeney, who introduced Charles
d. Lane the noted gold-miner of Angels
Camp, as chairman of the evening.
Mr.. Lane said he was proud to be chosen
as chairman of the evening, and he was
especially gratifed to be honored i'll this
way by the ladies, for he has warm
place in his heart for the ladies. They are
the real home-makers and home keepers
and he hoped 10 see,them in a position to
exercise their rightfu! share in the gov
ernment OF The country, for they will be
beyond the reach of ward heelers and
ballet -box0stuffers.
Mr.. Lane said that he did not pretend to
be a speaker, but he vas surprised to see
some OF the orators that have been i'm
ported oby the Republicans to teach Cali
fornians how to vote on the silver ques-
otien. he had. read all Of Thomas b..
Reeds speeches and could find nothing in
athem that in his Judgment would justify
paying the freight on a man in third
class tourist-car, let alone sending him
. across the continent in train Of palace
coaches.
Mf. Lane thought that California would
give so, GOO ma ajority for Mr.. Bryan.
Q Miss Cushman recited a parody on Marc
Antonv's oration ct the funeral of Cesar,
after which the Treble Cleft Quartet, COM
posed of ladies, sang sweetly about 1.-The
Silver Dollar Of the Dads"
. Thomas Y. Gator began to make his
regular campaign speech, predicting 50,-
900 majority for Bryan in California, but
wasinterrupted by the arrival os Govern or
Budd, who had been asked TO speak, and
who had an engagement to address an
other meeting in q different part of the
City. In order 10 allow him to fill both
engagements it was necessary for him to
speak at once.
Governor Budd told the story of the way
In which the last Legislature passed a
6 resolution favoring the coinage OF silver
ande compelled him to telegraph it to
Washington City in great haste. Some of
those Legislators have since reversed their
. position in regard to silver. He appealed
oto the voters OF California to cophrm the
official declarations made by the last Leg
islature. He thought they would do so,
and estimated the IN 3 jority for Bryan at
the ousual figure OF $4,000 as agreed on by
the Democratic State Campaign Com
Inttee.
@ The Governor dwelt at some length on
the silver question and declared that
United. States bonds are, by their face,
payable IN silver or gold. He said it
would be greatly 10 the benefit of the
common people ifsilver should be remon-
elized, yet if the people allow a Repubii-
can to be seated in the Presidential chair
1T will be indorsing he proposition that
0"fhe United States bonds must be- paid in
sgold. o.
Governor Budd predicted that Califor-
MIA would give $4,000 majority for Mr..
