CHINESE HND CHRISTMAS.

The Presbyterian church on Stock
Tuesday night by not only the Chinese
but also a large number of American
ladies, who went there to observe the
little brown tots go through the pro-
gramme laid down for them by their
teachers. To those of an observing
turn of mind the visit was not unpro-
ductive, as the boys and girls, ranging
all the way from three to 10 years of
age, acquitted themselves with as
much credit as is observable in their
white sisters and brothers of a similar
age and training.
This church and school is under the
charge of the Rev. l. M. Condit, who
has had charge of this church for the
past twenty-seven yeaM. Previous to
his taking charge of this church he
was engaged in missionary work in
China for about fifteen years. During
this time he learned much of the Mon
goLian character, which in a measure
fitted him for the duties incident to his
new position. The songs and recita-
tions as rendered by these little ones
at the entertainment were of a high
character.

her parents reside. She fell madly in
love with him and pleaded with him
to make her his wife.
Bayly, in some way, learned that the
woman was on very friendly terms
with a commercial drummer named
Robert H. Bell, and he commanded her
to ignore him. Several days ago Bell
left this city, his destination being Chi
cago. Learning that the woman was
in delicate condition Bayly visited
her room, and asked her to sign q
statement exculpating him. She at
first refused, but fearing violence at
his hands requested him to call again
yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 4
o'clock Bayly, who was much the
worse for liquor, visited her apart
ments, and producing the following
statement, asked her to sign it:
I'm the city and county of San Fran
cisco, the 22d day of December, 1897, /,
Mary Symora, do solemnly swear that
Robert H. Bell is the father of my un-
born child, and that 1 swear before
these witnesses that have spoken the
truth so help me God!"
There were present, besides Bayly
and the woman, Z. A. Fulham and his
wife, both of whom lodge in the house.
After the unfortunate woman had
signed the statement, Bayly asked
Fulham and his wife to leave.
They were gone only few minutes
when a pistol shot rang out, followed
by the piercing Shrek of a woman.
Bayly at once emerged from the
room, and meeting a friend in the
hallway, remarked: well, 1 have
done it. May, guess, is done for
He then walked down stairs and,
meeting Police officer T. c. Murphy,

entered tbs hospital.

Der Lieutenant Wood. who on two oc-
casions was connected with the Pacific
squadron, the last time as navigator of
the flagship Philadelphia. During his
stay here he made many warm friends,
who will be grieved to learn of his
death. Not only among the military
and naval people was his company
sought, but his reputation for good
fellowship was so general that he was
received with open arms in the homes
of the best citizens of the State.
Lieutenant Wood was appointed to
the naval academy by Congressman
voorhees, and graduated from that in
stitution in 1870. He served for some
time after his graduation on the Med
iterranean squadron, and was then en-
ployed by yAdmiral Allen to make draw

completed, but exactly in accordance
with the original plans, and named the
katahdin. He was afterwards EN-

night while he was doing the Tender

prepossessing young woman giving
her name as Rosa Lee, is locked up in

Jaeger, according to his story, left
his post at Mare Island, intending to
spend a few days in this city. He ar
rived here last Tuesday evening and at
once started out to see, the sights. Ac-
companied by a friend, he visited a
cheap theater on Ellis street and had
several drinks While there he met the

at her invitation they entered box" ="
Jaeger remained only short time, and
as he started to leave he placed his
gold piece which he had was still
there. He felt the money, as he
thought, and calling one of the walters
he instructed him to take a bottle of
wine to the woman. After the wine
had been served the waiter accosted
Jaeger and asked him to settle for it.

snatched the gold piece from his
hand, and, looking at it, discovered
that it was a Midwinter Fair SOU

piece.
Turning to the woman, he accused
her of taking the gold eagle and sub
stituting the souvenir. She emphati-
cally denied the impeachment and
threatened to have Jaeger elected.
Realizing he had been cleverly done

H. Murphy and asked him to arrest
the woman. She was then taken to
the City Prison and formally charged
