SAN JOSE CHARITY SCHEME.
co-0psration of Supervisors Desired in
the Distribution of Aid to
Ipdiqents

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 25.-Rev. H. Mel
vile Tenney and S. B. Hunkins of the AS
socated Charities Mrs. Ben Cory and
Mrs. f. D. S. Williams of the Ladies'
Benevolent Society, and Mrs. w. B. Hill
of the Catholic Ladies' Aid Society ap-
peared before the Board of Supervisors
this morning, and urged it to cooperate
with them in dispensing aid to the indi-
gent. 1t is claimed that great many un-
worthy persons obtained relief from the
Supervisors through deception and fraud
and it is desired to have the board dis
pense the relief it does in the city under
the direction of the various benevolent
societies, in order to prevent this imposi-
ton. They wanted the Supervisors to
join with delegates from the various
benevolent societies and elect an investi-
gator, whose duty it should be to exam
inc the cases OF all applicants for relief,
and that no aid be granted unless the case
was favorably reported upon by the in
vestigator. 1t was pointed out that fire.
Quently from $500 to $1,000 was given to
indigents in the co:nty, and the ladies
believed that their system of dispensing IL
would be saving to the taxpayers.
Supervisors Stern, Austin and Rea were
appointed committee to meet with the
presentatiyes OF the benevolent societies
at the Associated Charities next Wednes-
day afternoon and discuss the plan.

Students Uncover the Fossil Masto6oi
Tusk Recently Discovered
Near MdyfsH.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Jan.
25.-A party of students this morning
unearthed the fossil mastodon tusk, which
was discovered mile and half west oi
Mayheld about month ago. The tusk
was imbedded in tertiary gravel in the
potion of a ravine. Two ends badly de-
com posed were showing, and as they
were about fourteen feet apart ii was
thought that pair of tusks had been dis
covered. The Investigations of the stu
dents showed, however, that the ends be-
longed to the same tusk.
The party after much hard digging sue
ceeded in uncovering the tusk. 1t was
found that middle quarter had been en-
>tirely destroyed by the action of the
water in the ravine. Two pieces were
fairly well preserved, one about four feet
IN length and the other five feet. They
were carried 10 secluded place within
easy reach OF the road. A wagon will be
sent for them and they will be transported
