LADIES WORKING f,
FOR A COLLEGE,
They Are Striving to Es-
tablish a National
University.
Prominent People Have Inter-
ested Themselves in the
Proposition.
Professor David Starr Jordan Will
Speak on the Subject This
Afternoon.

Prominent ladies IN the East for several
national university at Washington, and a
few months ago they communicated with
some noted ladies OF San Fran cisco and
asked them also 10 interest themselves.
This the ladies did, and formed a COM
mittee, appointing Miss Sara D. Hamlin
chairman. Several meetings nave already
been held and to-day they will meet at
the Occidental Hotel o'clock, at which
time Professor David Starr Jordan an
enthusiast on the question, Will address
them.
Various reasons have been given for
having such university established here
in America, the most important being be-
cause the material for a national univer-
sity is exceedingly plentiful at Washing
ton. The library of Congress, the great
est public library; the geological survey;
the coast and geodetic survey, and the
biological divisions OF the department of
agriculture are engaged in investiga tions
of the highest order, and several other
large museums there.
The university, if the plans are carried
through, will admit no student who is
under age or who has not definite pur-
pose to accomplish.
1t is the object of the promoters to make
it bear the same relation to other colleges
as Berlin University bears to the other
institutions of learning in Germany.
Some of the ladies who are interested in
the work are Mrs. David Starr Jordan,
Mrs. John +. Merrill, DR.. Charlotte Blake
Brown, Miss Mary Lake, Mrs. Edna Smell
Poulson, Miss Caroline Jackson, Miss
sara D. Hamlin and Mrs. Henry Gibbons.

and received 81 80 on account for the
same. Further on in the book was an
other entry showing that he had worked
for K. ID. Morgan from the 18th to the 3lst
OF August, for which he made an entry
showing the receipt of $40. For the same
man his entry also showed that he had
worked from the lst TO the 25th of Sep
tenn Der, Sundays omitted, making in all
twenty-one days work Tor this man in the
present month.
Nothing else was found upon his person
by which he could be identified. Stamped
on leahet circular were the words ''St
James Hotel, which might infer that he
had been in San Jose, as there is a hotel
in that city by that name. The names of
those for whom he worked could not be
found IN the San Francisco Directory.
The place where the unfortunate man
met his death is one of the most danger
Gus to be found IN the city. 1t is at the
junction of Montgomery and Chestnut
streets, where Contractor Kelso has been
quarrying for the seawalI and other water
front Improvements for some time, and by
so doing the face of the quarry from its
base to the top at the streets mentioned is
liz feet in a perpendicular line.
AT the junction of the streets there is a
wooden fence placed across both the
streets, except at the southern side of
Chestnut street where there is an opening
sufficiently large TO permit man to pass
Through this opening Wilson must have
walked. The autopsy showed that death
was produced from a fracture of the skull.
There was long cash in the back of the
head and the whole body was broken
from contact with the projecting rocks
during the fall from the heights. 1t is
not sheer descent, but is interrupted by
shelves of rock.
The deceased was about 35 years Of age,
and was dressed in pepper and salt suit
OF clothes with soft hat which had been
broken in the crown. The appearance of
his hands showed that he had been en-
gagged in hard manual labor.

at the Preside Post are now all occupied, and
are said to be the most comfortable buildings
of their class at any post In the United States
They are of brick, two stories in height and
each building, one detached from the other,
has a storage basement The buildings are
provided with all the modern sanitary ap-
planes and have been arranged with view
to the comfort and health of the men who
occupy them. At this time an additional i'm
provement is being made which will increase
the attractiveness OF the portion of the post in
which the quarters stand. Along the entire
length of the quarters there is being laio q
concrete walk TOUR feet wide, and about
twenty-five feet east of this is another similar
walk on parallel line. These two walks are
connected by concre tie walks that lead to the
main entrance of esch quarter, and the space
between these cross-walks is being fill ed in
with loan, and each will be converted into
a tasteful flower garden. The quarters oc-
cupied by Companies c, F and oil the Third
Artillery, and located at the northern end of
the row, are being arranged by landscape

Second Brigade, N. 6. c., and composed
of students of the Lowell High School OF

officers of the First Regiment.

SAVINGS BANK ACTIONS,
Eighty-Five Suits That Recall tho Ope-
rations of the Nc
DonaIds.

Stockholders OF the defunct Peoples
Home Savings Bank have been called on
TO settle for their liability on account of
the unpaid balance due on stock tor which
they had subscribed.
There were a great many citizens who
believed the Peoples Home Savings Bank
stock to be a good investment and some of
them were confirmed in this opinion when
tnev received dividend on stock for which
they had paid only 1873 cents on the dol
lar. They are now asked to paw the re-
naming 6625 for each share held by them.
When the bank went down there was a
general scramble to get out OF the way,
and not few of those who held the stock
assigned their interests to Others who
never expected to be shareholders in q
bank, even though it were bankrupt con-
Germ. 1t was Of course recognized that no
consideration passed in the transfer
thus attempted, and so the assignors are
sued directly in ali such cases, no recovery
from the assignees being attempted.
In one case noted fnancier assigned
his stock to his elevator boy, but this id
not avail him so far as the suit is con-
cerned. for his name figures prominently
in the list of defendants.
Eorty-hVe suits for percentages due on
stock were yesterday filed in the Superior
Court and forty actions for smaller
amounts were begun In the Justices
Court, +. S. Stratton acting as attorne :
for the plaintiff in all the litigation.
Heretofore forty similar suits were filed
in the Superior Court and several of them
are now on the calendar in Judge Bahrs'
court, where they Will soon be called for
trial.
1t is understood that the defendants
will pool their issues and fight the matter
to the court of last resort. The defense
will be that the stockh olders were not la
bic for the balance due, because no call
was made for the balance during the time
the bank was doing business.
