SONG AND RECITATION.
Entertainment by Martha Wash
ington Circle Auxiliary
to the A. D. II.
Some Good Reading and Musical Talent
Was Exhibited by the Young
Ladies.

a very enjoyable entertainment was
given last night by the Martha Washing
ton Circle No. l. Ladies Auxiliary to the
Ancient Order of Hibernians of America,
in their hall, 12O Ninth street.
The hall was crowded with pretty girls
and blooming matrons, and there was no
drawback to the pleasure of the evening.
the entertainment was opened by the
president. Mrs. Jerome Deasy. who spoke
OF the benevolent purposes OF the orde-
and extended welcome to the guests
Charles Blair Flanagan acted as musical
director, and performed several mum bers
on the piano in a style that would have
made Paderewski cut off his hair had be
been there to hear.
Mrs. S. }. Tully contributed to the even
ing's entertainment with a piano solo and
a song, for both of which she was deserv-
edly encored. Miss Agnes Donovan sang
song very sweetly. There were recita-
tons by Misses Alice Flanagan and Sarah
W. Brennan, which were well received.
The entertainment closed with fancy
dance by Miss May Shaughnessy and a
social dance with icecream and other re-
freshments.
The San Francisco call., 1897-08-12

his life by being crushed to death beneath
tons OF rock and earth, which fell In on
top of him while at work in the bottom at
a depth of twelve feet.
TIE name OF the unfortunate man could
not be ascertained. He was simply known
as "Frenchy," probably because he be-
longed to that nationality. All that was
known of him by the other worhmen and
the people about Precita Valley was that
he took a section OF the sewer from George
NJ. Perine, who was the contractor to
whom the contract was let by the Super
visors. Perine. in turn, gave out sections
OF the work to any person who applied Tor
a share. "Frenchy' secured fifty feet OF
contract on the topm ost point of the line,
where it was found necessary to sink to
depth of twelve feet in order TO bring the
bottom level to the line.
The unfortunate man had worked hard
and faithfully on his job from the time he
got the contract until yesterday, when he
hopefully announced to some of his fel-
low -workmen that he had just two more
feet to dig when his portion OF the con-
tract would be finished. This was about
twenty minutes before the life was crushed
out OF his body by the falling earth.
The unusual noise OF something heavy
falling attracted the attention of the other
workmen who were nearest to where
"Frenchy'' was at work. They looked and
discovered that the newly removed rock
aLd clay which had stood on the southern
side of the sewer had disappeared. They
ran to the place in time to see that poor
"Frenchy" had been entombed.
The alarm was at once given and no
time was lost in starting in to dig the
man out. This was at 4:30 p NJ, and the
body was not found until $50, two hours
later. When sufficient earth and rock
had been removed it was seen thatlhis
| head had been crushed like an eggshell.
The face of the embankment against
which he had been pressed was bespat-
tered with his brains. His two hands
were raised above his head, as though he
saw the impending danger and had made
an effort to escape by trying to climb out
of the Sc wer.
| 1t was stated by some of the people
| about the valley that the deceased was
married man, with family in the East.
| But of this there is nothing certain. At
| all events there was no inquiries regard
ing him at the Coroner's office during the
evening. The sliding in OF the earth in
| that portion of the hill where it occurred
surprised the workmen in that section, as
it is composed of hard earth with a guam
| tlty OF rock, which in good many places
] has to be blasted before being removed
! The only accounting for the slide where il
occurred is that the weight of the
| earth thrown Up from the excavation
caused the bank TO give way. No portion
OF the sewer has been braced by any of
| the other WOrkmen

AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.

Continental League Adopts Resolutions
in ndemnation.
The Continental League at its meeting
last night after disposing of some routine
matter appertaining to the league unani-
mously adopted resolutions drawn up by
the executive committee as being the
sense of the league ON the civil service So
called reform.
The resolutions recite in strong terms
the reasons of the league for condemning
civil service, and Conclude:
The rank and file and the working class
when they understand the situation and
object will never vote to disfranchise them
selves, their children and their ehildren's
children from procuring Government employ
ment, and when they learn that the object is
to force upon them ali exclusive Office -holdiug
class ana when they understand that the
movement is monarchial and dangerous to
freedom they will soon scatter the pretensions

INSPECTOR CARDOzA.

Dismissed From the Service for Having
Fallen Asleep on the Ba1gic.
a few months ago one of the customs
inspectors fell asleep on board the ship on
which he was supposed to be on guard,
and for this lapse of duty he was dis
charged.
There must be something soporific in
the atmosphere of ships that come in
from the Orient. Whether in leaving the
tropic heat behind they take with them
the orowsy spirit of the East or whether
the inspectors have to do so much night
work in watching wicked smugglers that
they feel used up the next day is ques-
ticn that is yet involved in mystery. The
latest illustration of this strange tendency
came 10 light Tuesday when the an
nouncement was made that Customs In
spector w. A. Cardoza had fallen sleep
at his post on boart the steamer Belgic
and that he had been dismissed from the
service for that reason. In his place
Frank E. Hadley was appointed from the
eligible list. Mr.. hadley is said to be a
llgh sleeper.

HANDW WRITING.
Professor Ames Repeats His Testimony
to the Pupils of Business
College.


Professor Daniel T. Ames lectured on
the Fair case last night TO the pupils OF
Heads Business College, the event g
school having given up It's session for the
purpose of hearing Mr.. Ames' argument.
He had placed on the blackboard the ex-
hibits used by him for his clients IN the
Fair will case. and proceeded to show his
admlring hearers that the will aid the
letter to Mrs. Craven were not genuine,
because the handwriting IN them re-
sembed that OF Mr.. Fair too closely.
According to Expert Ames' view OF the
matter the,e ought to have been more
varia tions from Mr.. Fairs acknowle dyed
writing. He almost led his hearers 10 be-
leve that If the will and the letter and the
signature to the will had been written In
a totally dissimilar handwriting they
would have been genuine.
The introd uctlon 10 the lecture was the
interesting part Starting with the state
ment that no two persons wrote exactly
alike, the speaker showed that the hand
writing OF person became individuallZed
after leaving school and varied gradually
through life as the features did. NO
natural writing is written thoughtfuly.
1t is product of the hand exercised auto
matically. 1t is impossible that man
can know all the characteristics OF his
