Consignments.

The Firm He Pretended to Represent
Denies That It Had Any Deal.
ings With Him.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 3.-P. II. Foster,
who dealt in green and drie fruits under
the firm name of P. II. Foster & Co. in this
city for the past two years, is being anx-
iously sought for by a mum ber of creditors.
About ten days ago Foster and his family,
after selling off their household effects,
left the city, and are now supposed to be
in Honolulu.
A year ago Foster had a young man
named Fisher associated with him in the
business, but this past season Foster con-
Quoted the business himself. He repre-
sented himself to be an agent for the
great fruit-buying firm of Delafieid, Nc
Govern & Co., of New York, Chicago and
San Francisco. He bought largely of
growing crops and as soon as the fruit was
delivered he would make a small payment
on it. 1t is thought that Foster has
mulcted fruit-growers to the extent of
several thousand dollars.
In dne case Foster bought dried prunes
from E. Mckee, a rancher near Santa
Clara, amounting to $l418, paying $1062
down. He subsequently paid another $1o0,
but owes 1854. AS Foster had represented
that he was buying for DeIateld, McGov-
ern & Co.. the bill was sent to the firms
New York headquarters, but was returned
with the statement that the firm had not
authorized Foster to buy fruit. Only on
one occasion did the firm do any business
with Foster, and it now holds bill against
him.

Professor Rosnteen's Wonderful Fents in
Photography Not New BY Any

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 3. - Professor
Roentgen is perhaps the last of the army
of inventive geniuses who find after their
laborious investigations are brought to a
successful conclusion that there sis moth
ing new under the sum-
In conversation with Professor A. E.
Dolbear, the noted physicist of Tufts Col
lege, regarding the recently published ex-
periments in photography by means of
light of slow vibration, it was brought out
that as early as May, 1892, Professor Dol
bear had performed many Photographic
experiments by the aid of the same agent
as used by the German professor, and OBJ
tanned results quite as remarkable. He
went still further and succeeded in photo
graphing through wood an inch i'll thick
ness by the ether waves set up by the SIM
pie sparkling of a static electrical M achine.
Professor Dolbear published the theory
on which his remarkable results were
based in the science department of lead
ing monthly magazine in April, 1884,
under the heading Electricity and Pho
tography." This article gave proof that
Professor Dolbear used exactly the same
process as did Professor Roentgen, and
that the Identical results of Professor
Roentgen were proved and given to the
world in May, 1892, by Professor Dolbear,
though first recorded in public print in
April, 1894. Professor Dolnear secured his
results without the aid of Crooks tube,
simply by the sparkling of an ordinary
static electrical machine in the atmos-
phere, and in perfect darkness.

Even watching a skater is amusing and

On the other hand are expert skaters,
gracefully gliding and turning, cutting

SUICIDE or STEPHEN 8. FRENCH.
Was Well Known in California in Pioneer
Days and kferward q Police CON-
missioner in New York.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 3.-Ex-Poiice
Com missioner Stephen B. French COM
mitted suicide this morning at his home
by. shooting himself through the heart
with revolver. He died instantly. Mr..
French was 66 years of age.
The cause OF the deed is supposed to be
business reverses, OF which he spoke to his
wife several days ago, remarking that his
luck had been bad and that she would be
as we'll off without him.
1t was learned at the house to-day that
his health had been good of late, but that
he had been Respondent and moody.
Stephen B. French was born in the town
of Riverhead, Suffolk County, n. Y, jan
uary 1929. In 1S49 he sailed for San Fran
cisco to visit the gold fields. After work
ing in the gold mines he conducted hotel
in San Francisco, and afterward ran a
vessel between San Francisco and the
Sandwich Islands.
Later he started store in Marysville,
and made and lost two or three fortunes
within five years. Subsequently he en-
gagged in mercantile life in this city. In
February, 1876 he was appointed Appraiser
of the Port of New York by President
Grant. He was a police commissioner
from May 26, 1879 until May %, 1889.

PILLAU THE FAvoRITE DISH.
How It Is Concocted by the People of
Afghanistan.

A book recently published in London,
entitled SAT the Court of the Amir" de
votes considerable space to the culinary
methods OF the Afghanistans. Pillau is
the favorite dish, and is made either of
fowl or lamb or mutton, or all combined.
The meat is amalgamated with rice, butter,
almonds, raisins, allspice, cardomans, SAT-
from, cloves, onion, ginger, salt, whole
peppers and dhiey. The rice is first boiled
until half-done, the onions and raisins
fried and the fowl cut in pieces and rubbed
with ginger and dhiey. The meat is al
lowed to remain in this state for two hours,
when it is put in some butter at the bot
tom of the pot; over it is placed layer of
rice, then another of onions, raisins and
Almonds sprinkled with saffron and
water, then layer of meat, and so on al
ternately until the pot is filed, when
melted butter is poured over the whole.
The pot is then subjected to a braising
heat or put in an oven and cooked three
hours. The edges of the pot are sealed
with paste so that no steam can escape.
The next favorite Afghan dish consists of
knobs of meat grilled before a fire. Res
taurants are very numerous, but they are
described as conveying an idea of filth of
which the most imaginative Occidental
cannot conceive. Even the Afghanistans
do not enter them but eat their meals out
side or carry away the cooked food. Con-
fectioners' shops are more cleanly, and are
famous for iced sherbets of various fla
vors. Bread is composed entirely of fiat
cakes of dough cooked against the sides
of earth ovens. Vegetables and fruits in
summer are plentiful and cheap.

TRUCKEE'S GAY SEASON,
Zero Weather Restores to the Ice
King His Frozen
Realm.
Toboggan Slide and Skating Court Are
Again Thronged by Pleasure
Seekers.

TRUOKEE, CAL, Feb. 3.-A meeting of
the directors of the Ice Carnival was held
to-day to consider important matters in
connection with the carnival. 1t was de-
cided to lengthen the toboggan chute con-
siderably and make other improvements
which will greatly add TO the attractive
ness of the palace.
To-day has been exceedingly cold. the
highest the thermometer registered being
fifteen degrees above zero. Tonight is
the coldest since the carnival opened, and
with the mercury several degrees below
zero skating for the balance of the week
will be unexcelled and the ice men, who
have been doubtful as to the outcome of
the winters crop, are now satisfied that
they will fill their huge storehouses.
When interviewed tonight on the ice
palace and toboggan slide Director-Gen-
eral McGlashan said to a CALL correspon-
dent:
eve have the weather just as we have
wanted il for two weeks, and now we are
in a position to show the people Just how
an ice palace should look when in its best
condition. We are all very enthusiastic
over the carnival, and have every reason
to feel proud of our efforts.
al was talking to gentleman from
Montreal. to-day, and he reluctantly told
me that although he had seen numerous
ice palaces this was most unique and
original method of building one he had
ever seen or heard of, and in his opinion
it was superior in most respects to the
method of building with block ice.

Judge Reynolds Dissotues an Injunction
Restraining Street Improvements.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 3.-Judge Rey-
nolds this morning dissolved the tempo
rary injunction issued to J. II. Flickinger
and others to prevent Charles w. Fay, the
contractor, from improving East Santa
Clara street. from Third to Eleventh.
A short time ago the Common Council
awarded the contract for improving East
Santa Clara street, with bitumen pave
mention a concrete basement,.to Fay at an
estimated cost of about 1000, the cost of
Improvements to be levied ON abutting
property owners. Flickinger and other
large property-owners at once procured a
temporary injupction, restraining Fay
from beginning the work. They claimed
that the street had been once improved at
the cost of abutting property-owners. and
that the cost of the present Improvement
should be borne by, the City. They also
attacked the constitutionality of the law
under which the contract was let.
Judge Reynolds held that the letting of
the work and levying of assessment was
legal and ordered that the Injunction be
dissolved and the suit dismissed. 1t is
understood that the case will be appealed
to the Supreme Court.

sized in Storm.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Feb. g.
The description received to-day of several
unusual features in the rigging of the yes
sci sighted burning off Cape Flattery on
January % by the barkentine Modoc
confirms the belief that the unfortunate
craft was the British bark Nineyah, lum-
ber-laden, from Vancouver for Sydney
No particular effort will be made by the
tugs here to find the derelict, although if
sighted she will be looked carefully over
with view to saving anything that has
not been consumed by the flames.
There are two theories regarding the
total absence of life aboard-one, that the
crew took to the small boats in the hope of
getting ashore, and the other that they
were taken off on some outward bound
vessel. If the first surmise is correct,
there is little doubt but that all found
watery graves, as the storms have been
particularly severe since the middle of
January.
