Week..

The smokeless stove, on
which water is boiled in our
show window, has been great
attraction for several days to
students in philosophy. The
Jewel is a good stove, any
way.
The special subject for the
people this week is not stoves.
That subject is a daily one.
This week you will have nov
elites of all sorts.
This is the season when the
hens go on strike and the
price of eggs goes skyward.
Hens want little encourage.
ment now and then, and the
best thing known to science is
green bones. But they must
be cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the soap
saver, made of re-tinned wire,
basket shaped, with long hand
les. This is the best soap
known, and we have three
sizes. They are cheaper than
dirt and much more beautify-
ing.
Dripless tea and coffee
strainers are new and very
serviceable. There's cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping on
the table cloth after the cup is
filed. Very cheap, these, and
pretty, too.
A six-knife Victor meat
chopper for a quarter seems
like a dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price, and
we sell the holdfast dust pan
the best you ever saw.

CLEARING COBWEBS.

Senator Morgan in an address
made in San Francisco dissipates
the cloud Of malignity and perver-
sion with which the Royalist party
have tried to befog the Hawaiian
mind. He said g. If we annex the
Hawaiian Islands we will treat the
Hawaiians we'll. There is a great
deal of stupid talk floating concern
ing the harm it would do to bring
these people under the power Of the
United States. How easy it would
be for us to provide those natives
over there with safer government
than they ever dreamed of, and
what harm will we be doing them !?
Simply destroying a fleeing remin-
iscence of little kingdom"
During his stay here Senator
Morgan will no doubt have an op-
portunity of speaking to the Ha-
waiians explicitly and clearly
When he has seen for himself the
condition here, which study as
much as he may have done, theo-
retically, he will understand the
better for personal contact, he will
be able to speak with an authority
which none of us have here, and
the Hawaiians who hear him will
believe him.
The case can be fully put, he can
assure the Hawaiian that in enter
ing under the mantle OF the United
States he enters upon a larger birth
right, that he will be freer and
happier than ever he has been under
the monarchy, that his rights will
be protected by an arm that is
strong enough to ward off all i'll,
and powerful enough to strike any
foe that may appear, that the civil
cation of the West will assured to
him, and that he may pass his days
in peace and tranquility, earning
an honest and plentiful living and
feeling himself upon an equality
with the citizens of the United
States, in every particular, having
and exercising true liberty and
not sham.

The recommendation in the plat
form of the American Union Party
that the Government should not be
an importer is neither unwise,
dangerous or inconsistent" as
claimed by a morning paper. AS a
fact any mercantile house Of good
standing can obtain goods abroad 20
per cent. cheaper than the Govern
ment can when importing directly.
The merchants, moreover, paw a
percentage to the Government upon
all goods sold, in the shape OF
licenses and duties, and it is right
that those who pay for the support
of an institution should be protect
ed by it. This buying in the
cheapest market is quite in line
with erecting houses with Chinese
labor on money earned from white
merchants and mechanics.

Minister Sewall has taken the
best method of introducing Senator
Morgan to his friends here by tend
eriug him public reception. We all
remember how success full was the
reception which the Minister gave
on the Fourth of July and this will
be equally as successful. Mr..
Sewall's plan of issuing no invita-
tons, but expecting all to come
who have an interest in Senator
Morgan, precludes any chance OF
that petty jealousy of being asked
or not being asked, which should
not have any place on an occasion
of this kind. Any one who desires
to see the Senator and shake hands
with him can do so.

FISH AND GAME LAWS.

Measures Which Have Passed the As
sembly of importance to Sportsmen.
Word was received yesterday at the
Office of the Fish Commission in this City
of the passage of several bills of import
ance to sportsmen through the lower
house of the Legislature. In most in
stances these are amendments and modi-
fcations of the old laws. Under the old
law robins may be killed four months in
the year, but under the amendment these
pretty creatures are included with Cali
fornia canaries and song birds that are
protected from slaughter at all times.
! The open season Tor doves has been
al cred so that it extends from july 10 to
February Is. At present the open season
begins on July l. The law prohibiting
the killing OF pheasants has been carried
to March l, 1899. An important change
has been made relating to the killing and
selling of game birds. at present game
birds can be killed for four months, but
game cannot be sold except for two
months. Now the season Ior killing and
the season for selling are Identical. The
deer law is materially altered. The pos
session of deer, except that of male deer,
in the open season is prohibited. At pres
ent the offender has TO be actually caught
IN the act OF staying these animals before
a conviction can be had.
For the protection of fish the new law
prohibits the taking of black bass except
by a hook and line. The taking OF Holsters
and crawfish "of less than nine and hall
inches in length, measured from one
extremity to the other" exclusive OF claws,
etc., is prohibited. The buying, selling or
possession OF female crabs is unlawful.
This measure is directed against the
Chinese particularly, as these fishermen
take all kinds and all sizes.
A change has been made in the open
season for trout. Instead of being open
from April l to Novem Der l, it will be
from Nav to Decem ber l.
The close season for steelheads will be
from February to May and the close
season for salmon from September 10 to
November Is. with the provision that
salmon may be taken in tidewaters after
October 10. This is to protect the salmon
in tue upper as we'll as the lower rivers
during the spawning season.
The tidewaters are defined as follows
In the Sacramento River as extending
from Its mouth to Sacramento city; in the
San Joaquin to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road bridge, near Lathrop; in Eel River.
Humboldt County, to east ferry above the
town OF Fortuna; in the Klamath River
to a point on the river north of the resi-
dence of ]. McGarvey; in Smith River,
Del Norte County, to Haggins ferry.

LEVIN BROS STORES SOLD.

Creditors VIII Realize About Twenty
Cents on the Dollar.
All the grocery-5tores formerly owned
and operated by Levin Bros. were sold by
means of private bids In Judge Slack s
court on Wednesday. The basis of sale in
each case was 20 per cent of the inventory
value OF the stocks. The two stores in this
City, located at 134 Sixth street and 1924
and 1926 Market street. were sold for about
$40, 900 to H. and M. Wolf, who will con-
duct the business under the firm name of
II. Wolf d Bro, successors to Levin Bros.
They will retain in their employ the mem
bers of the old firm.
0. Moses purchased the store at West
Oakland and Golliber & Hart that at
Tenth and Washington streets, Oakland.
The stock of the Berkeley store, which
was removed to the Oakland establish
ment immed lately after the emba-rass-
ment of the firm was publicly announced
about month ago, was sold as part of the
latter.
1t is estimated that the creditors will
realize about 20 cents on the dollar. They
were offered a settlement on the basis OF
1873 cents. but the objections OF Dodge,
Sweeney & Co. prevented the acceptance
OF the proposition.
The San Francisco stores Will be re-
opened for business Saturday.

{, VAN De WERE
HAS SKIPPED OUT
The Wife of Professor
Eugene On the List of
the Missing.
Story of Two Clairvoyants and
a Tale of G. Fl. Bells
Lost Money.
Professor Eugene Has Started East
Hoping to G N ws of His
Departed Spouse

Charles Van de We're, the clairvoyant
who came into notoriety in April last. is
very much sought after. He has been
under $2500 bonds during the past nine
months to appear before Police Judge
Low on charge of grand larceny, and his
trial was to have been held yesterday
morning.
But Mr.. Van de We're, as clairvoyant,
evidently did not see his way clear to
getting out of his scrape, so he did not
show up in court and Judge Low declared
the bonds forfeited, and bench warrant
has been issued for his arrest.
Van de We're and Professor Eugene, also
a clairvoyant, connected themselves in
1896 with George H. Bell, the ex-post-
master of Carson, New. He was partial to
the schemes they placed before him and
eventually obtained $500 of his money, so
as to pay the expenses of developing his
interest in an estate in Scotland valued at
more than Ell 600, 900.
Bell believed in the two, and furnished
them with expense money as they de-
manded it until he suddenly found him.
self without enough capital to return from
this City to Carson. Then the story came
out and both Van de We're and Eugene
were placed under arrest and charged with
grand larceny.
Iney PROMISED 10 return the money TO
their victim, who was really in need Of it,
and who is still in a condition which ght
jeopardiZe successful trial and convic-
ton. On this promise the grand larceny
trial was repeatedly postponed, and when
Professor Eugene eventually paid up his
share the case against him was dismis sed.
But Charles Van de We're has not full
Fl led his promise, hence the intended
prosecution.
Back of this is another story, showing
that the erstwhile partners in the clair
voyant business are no longer friends as
of yore.
They had adjoining offices and living
rooms at 1928 Market street, where they
transacted their business. Mrs. Eugene
assisted them materially in their work,
and frequently, in fact more frequently
than with her husband, she was the assist
ant of nis friend.
When Charles Van de We're disappeared
three weeks ago Mrs. Eugene was also on
the absent list, and her whereabouts is
as much of a mystery at this time as is
that OF Van de We're.
Professor Eugene ceased his occupancy
of the Market-street offices yesterday and
proposes leaving for the East to-day
Whether he knows where Mrs. Eugene is
or his old associate is not known, but he

JUDGE BREEN CORRECT.
His Claim of Dis qua iification to Try a
Case Upheld by the Supreme
Court.


Case Upheld by the Supreme
Court.
A decision was handed down by the Su-
preme Court yesterday affirming an order
transferring the case of Johnson, admins
tratrix, against Brown ct al, defendants,
from San Benito to Santa Clara county.
The case came before the Supreme
Court on appeal from the order, the mo-
tion being upon the ground that tie
Judge OF the court was disqualified by
reason of relation within the third degree
to one of the attorneys for the defense.
John n. Hudner vas the husband OF a
niece of the Hon. James +. Breen, the
Judge OF the Superior Court OF San Benito
County, in which the actIon was pending,
and Tor more than three years prior to the
making of the motion h al been the gen.
eral law partner OF N. G. Briggs, one of the
attorneys OF record for the defense.
One OF tbe plaintiffs made an affidavit
in which she stated that Hudner had been
acting continuously since The h.lng OF de-
fendant's answer in conjunction with his
law partner, although the answer Was
signed by Briggs only.
Also by affidavit one of the defendants
sta ed that Hudner had not been en-
ployed as attorney and rendered no assist
ance IN the case.
1t was shown that at a previous trial of
the case Hudner had sat at the table with
his law partner and assisted in the trial.
Judge Breen claimed that this disqualified
himself to act, and by order OF another
Judge the case was transferred to Santa
Clara County for trial. The plain ntiffs then
appealed.
Judge Harrison wrote the decision, Van
Fleet and Mcfarland concurrlng.

He Says Japanese Interpreter Is
Entirely Unnecessary.
The commission to select Interpreters
for the criminal courts met again in the
Mayors Office yesterday afternoon to
complete the list of appointments which
was partly filed Wednesday. One con-
clusion reached was. to dispense with a
Japanese interpreter, it appearing to be
the fact that there is so little use for such
an official as to make an appointment prac-
tically useless. The following dispatch
concerning the matter was yesterday sent
by Mayor Phelan to Senator Braunhart at
Sacramento:
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. %, 1897
Senator Brdunhdrt, Sacramento, Cat.: A
Japanese Interpreter is absolutely unneces-
sary, 1t means wasteful expenditure of pub
lie money. Chief Crowley says there is hardly
a case a month needing an interpreter and
that the authorities have no trouble in getting
one when needed. Inform the Legislature to
this effect and enter strong protest:
JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor.
The Commissioners have appointed V.
Marchabout interpreter of French and
Spanish and Andrew Glover interpreter of
Portuguese and Slavonian.

Young TyIer,s Ill, Unconscious and Neg
lected, Is Robb ed Aboard the
WaIIa Wal1a.

Llewellyn J. Tyler, young man %
years of age, is very i'll at his mothers
residence, 915 Haight street, and there is a
pathetic story connected with his present
condition.
Three months ago he went to Seattle,
WASH, in search OF employment. Subse-
quently he contracted rheumatism, be-
came unfit for further work, and soon ex-
hausted what little money he ad saved.
He sent to his mother for $40 that he
M ght come home.
The mother made inquiries here and
learned that $40 would secure only steer
age accommo odations, so she sent her
boy $40.
He took passage January Ia, in the
Walla Walla. Though unwell ne was de-
termined to save his mother from an ex
ira evy on her slender resources, and ac-
cordingly chose steerage fare that he
might return the other $40
The first evening out from Seattle he
was taken with convulsions. They hustled
him out of the warm steerage into cold,
cherries place between decks and left
him there on poor little mattress and
sDarsely covered, though he was exposed
continuously near open matches 10 the
cold ocean air.
The next day near noon the Walla
the boys father. Charles NJ. Tyler, who is
divorced, that his son was i'll aboard the
steamer. On the following day the father
went down 10 the pier, ana was surprised
to find young Tyler not only i'll but un-
conscious, unattended and exposed. His
face and hands were blue with cold.
The young man was taken at once to
the Receiving Hospital and later 10 his
mothers home, where oD the following
day he recovered consciousness and
wanted to know if his mother had got
the $40.
Since then he has been i'll at the point
of death, his condition, the doctor says,
having been caused by great exposure.
Upon regaining consciousness he told of
the incidents OF his voyage up to the time
he was hustled off between decks and left
alone and lost consciousness.
While left alone and out OF his head
some one had visited him and rified his
pockets not only of the treasured $40 but

w. E. Patched, painter and decorator,
102014 Larkin street, attempted to commit
suicIue yesterday afternoon by cutting his
throat with razor.
His shop was attached by the Sheriff a
few days ago, and since then he has felt

''crowding him to the walr' and making
life not worth the living.
Yesterday afternoon he ate a hearty
meal in the kitchen, and after the meal
was over his wife stepped into the parlor.
AS soon as she left the kitchen Patched
pulled a razor out of his pocket and drew
it across his throat, inhicting long, deep
cash. penetrating to the windpipe, but not
Severing it.
His wife heard him fall to the floor, and
rus ing in saw the blood pouring from
the wound. She ran shrieking out of the
house and told the neighbors what her
husband had done. DR.. Bushnell was
summoned and he stitched and dressed
the wound. The doctor says that with
care Patched Will soon recover, but he had
a narrow escape.
