The deaths from yellow fever at New
Orleans reached the 100 mark Monday,
this number having occurred among less
than 900 cases since September. Monday
the disease had made its appearance at
Baton Rouge, La, and at Montgomery,
Ala, both of which places have heretofore
been free from it.
The case Of the United States against
Thomas Bran, convicted Of murder on
high seas and sentenced TO be hanged, was
heard in the United States supreme court
at Washington, Monday, on appeal of
Bran from findings of the United States
district court of Massachusetts. A decis.
ion is not expected for at least a month.
The horoscope of II. A. W. Tabor has
shifted again. He received this week
loan Of 5000 on which to begin life
again from Winfield Scott Stratton, the
Cripple Greek mining king. Tabor was
farmers boy who went from the back
woods town Of Holland in northern Yer
mont to Massachusetts, where he learned
the stone cutters trade. he drifed West,
and from comparative poverty became
millionaire through the discovery of the
Little Pittsburg" mine by two men whom
he had "grubbed staked." Tabor was at one
time worth several millions, and owned
mines business blocks, opera houses, and
vast tracts OF land in Colorado, Texas, and
Honduras. He was the first lieutenant
governor of the centennial satte and went
to Washington for a short term as United
States senator. He put aside the wife who
had shared the hardshps OF his earlier
years in Kansas and Colorado, and was
married in style at Washington to a young
woman of striking beauty. Luck went
against Tabor, he met with loss after loss,
his property diminished in value, his in
vestments proved unremunerative, and
during the hard times of three or four years
ago he became bankrupt. His wife, on
whom he had settled a large sum, had in
the meantime become one of the richest
women in the West through judicious in
vestments. She had always said that
Tabor would lose his fortune and return to
her, but she died short time after he be-
came penniless. he has worked as a COM
mon miner some of the time during the
past three years.

great steal. 1t would be good thing if
this City adopted the system that is in
vogue in Massachusetts. There every
thing that school child requires in school
work is provided by the State free of
charge, even to a pencil. As the State
pays for all the books and supplies every
taxpayer is interested in the matter. If a
book ring gets control of the supply the
citizens at large are apt to make protest
that is needed. A simple way out OF
these Jobs would be for the State of
California not only to print all the text
books required in the schools of the State
but 10 furnish them gratis to the school
children, making no dlstinc ion between
the rich and the poor. Under the present
system the children oi poor parents, whom
1t Is most necessary 10 educate for the
general good of the State, are frequently
prevented from getting even Common

The resignation of Judge Frank II. Ker-

Associated Cycling Clubs, and his probable
withdrawal from the directorate OF the
Bay City Wheelmen next month, as told
IN The CALL. were much talked of among
the cyclers yesterday, particularly bout
the clubs.
Judge Kerrigan's letter of resignation
to Secretary Scovern shows that he re-
gretted being obliged to take the step, but
felt that his health demanded it. 1t is as

ITS NEW EDITOR.
James Howard Bridge, or Harold
Bridges, viii Take Charge of
the Overland.


The Overland Monthly has new editor.
The gentleman's name is James Howard
Bridge. He is known to the literary
world, however, as Harold Brydges, and
he is man of letters as we'll as an author
OF some repute.
Mr.. Bridges best known individual
work is, perhaps, "a Fortnight in
Heaven" though he is perhaps more
widely known as having collahorated with
Andrew Carnegie in writing Triumphant
Democracy" which book went through
an edition OF 90, 600 copies its first year
and which has been translated into most
modern languages.
Mr.. Bridge has had long and varied
experience in the literary field. After
finishing his education in France and
rmany he served journalistic ap-
premiership in England. Then he be-
came Herbert Spencer's literary assistant
and private secretary. He was intimately
associated with that learned man Tor more
Than five years, after which he came to
New York City, and has for a number of
years been engaged in literary work in
that city The new editor is now away
for flying trip to New York. after which
he will reside in San Francisco and
assume the active management OF the
Overland.
Speaking of fhe future policy of the
magazine Mr.. Bridge yesterday said that
the former general policy would be con-
tinued. 1T will con ntinue to be West
ern periodical in every sense, except that
a special effort will be made to increase its
Ea- tern circulation said be.
The Overland Monthly first appeared in
July, 1868. Bret Harte was its first ditor
and Anton Roman its first publisher.
Some of the best-known authors and lit
erary men OF the present generation have
been associated at times with the Over
land. Harte, Charles Warren Stoddard,
Mark Twain, Henry George, Joaquin
Miller and Prentiss Mulford all did some
OF their earliest and best work for the
Overland.
Mr.. Bridge is writer of strong individ-
uality and his work will undoubtedly be a
feature in the future mum bers of the mag
azine. The former editor, Rounsevelle
Wildman, recently appointed United
States Consul at Hongkong, China, has
sailed for his post of duty.
