bers of the same legislative bodies.
The correspondence is as follows:
PIERRE, Jan. n, $780, When the re-
submission question was up for con.
sideration i'll the senate. the speeches
were decidedly interesting on both
sides. Senator McGee made an elu-
quent plea against resubmission. and
said that pledges made before election
should not be taken seriously into ac-
count or regarded as bindingupon can
didates after election, but that they
were like the platform of passenger

Wilson improved the opportunity for Al
reply to Senator Mc(iee's remarks,
and made, to our notion, a happy hit.

that pledges made before election

Dr.. BAAEY'S SUDDEN DEATH.
The Santa Cruz Physician Succumbs
at Night to Apopiexy or
Heart Disease.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. 24-Dr. A.
H. Bailey was found dead in bed at his
Office on Pacific avenue this morning.
Apoplexy or heart disease caused his de-
mise. The exact nature of his ailmen t
will not be learned until the autopsy is
held on Friday.
DR.. A II. Bailey was Native Son OF
the Golden West, born in Placer County
in 1855. He came to Santa Cruz with his
parents, DR.. and Mrs. F. E. Bailey, when
but three years of age, and was one of the
first coterie of Santa Cruz's young men
who received their education in the pub
lie schools. He early exhibited prefer
ence for the profession of mis- father, and
after studying in the elder Bailey's Office
he attended the Cooper Medical Institute
for two years and graduated from the
Hospital College of Medicine in Louisville,
KY, in 1883. His father was then in the
Hawaiian Islands and Alexander joined
him at Kanului, isle of Maui. He was
married on the islands to Miss Mollie
Nelson of New Hampshire, who died four
years afterward, leaving to his care a
baby girl. He then returned to Santa
Cruz for a season.
In the meantime his father had returned
to this place snd died shortly after. The
doctor again visited the islands and after
settling his business there came ba OK to
Santa Cruz in 1889 and engaged in the
practice of his profession here.
For forty years the Drs. Bailey (father
and sony have N Mustered to large share
of the population Of Santa Cruz.

CAMP KacD0EALD'S WARRIORS.
/djutdnt- General Garrett ReWews
the Guards of the First
Reoiment,

UKIAH, CAL, Aug. 24-It m alters not
now how fiercely the sun shines nor how
the forest fires rage. The First Regiment
has grown acclimated. With the single
case of prostration reported, the only man
who found it necessary to visit the hos
pital was Captain MeCreagh, who tried to-
usnrp the realm of the hornet and literally
"got it in the neck"
Another circumstance that has added to
the good spirits OF the First and given the
boys a chance to enjoy life is the "iosh"
on Fred Kelly and "Boxcar' Riley, two
popular mem bars of Company NJ. Last
night they made quiet sneak out of
camp and paid visit to watermelon
patch about two and half miles from
camp. 1t was dark, but they selected a
melon that weighed about thirty pounds
and carried il TO the camp in relays. Then
several Of the good fellows were invited in
to partake of the luscious fruit of the vine.
When lamp was lighted and all made
ready for the feast, il turned out that the
melon was in reality pumpkin.
Bright and early to-day the regim ent
was up, because OF General Barretts ar
rival. All the prisoners in the guardhouse
were hustled out and set to cleaning the
Streets and everything soon took a spick
and span appearance. Captain John +.

General Barrett and Captain Darlington
inspected the camp at II O'CLOCK A. NJ,
being escorted by Colonel Smith. They
were all pleased with what they saw.
Early in the afternoon the officers held a
meeting and decided to give dance and
reception TO the citizens of Ukiah on
Thursday evening. The band will give a
concert and the various com panies enter

during the evening. Major Boxton is
ch airman of the committee of arrange
ments. Colonel Macdonald is expected to

festivities.
The great event OF the day was the
review and dress parade in honor OF
General Barrett. The men showed vast
improvement In their drills, and the
general plimented Colonel Smith on
the thoroughness with which the men
obeyed orders. A large concourse OF
citizens witnessed the review. In the
evening there was a social dance at the
pavilion erected in the grove near Camp

Joint Committees Decide That There
Is Nothing in Miss Donovan's
Accusation.

"Charges not sustained" was the ver-
dict OF the Joint com In ittees on Rules and
Evening Schools of the Board of Educa-
tion that met yesterday to consider the
charges made by Miss Geraldine Donovan
of the Business Evening School against
Principal Fitzpatrick of that institution.
Directors Ragan, Gallagher. Armer.
Darlington, Drucker and Derham were
present. DE-. Drucker occupying the chair.
The sworn charges of Miss Donovan
were ia ken up as whole and DR.. Ragan
moved that they be presented to the
board and the matter be left to the ieci-
sion OF that body. He was supported by
Director Gallagher, who insisted that the
question was too serious one to be set
tied in com mittee.
President Darlington and Drucker were
opposed TO having what they considered a
trivial matter occupy the time OF the
board, and stated that they believed it
was not a question of maintaining the
discipline OF the school. but OF preventing
a PERSONAL difference between teachers
from developing into a trial. They con-
sidered it mountain built from a MOLE
hill, and not worthy of notice any more
than the petty charges that had been pre-
ferred in other quarters.
When vote was taken Directors Gal
lagher and Ragan were the only ones who
voted to have the matter brought to the
attention OF the board.
The matter thus falls fat, and the re.
suit of the meeting is defeat for the
Rainey wing of the board, of which Dr..
Ragan is the spokesman and chief steerer.

SCHOFIELD'S SKULL AN EXHIBIT
viii Be Seen in Court Durinq the
Examination of butcher and
the Widow.

SAN JOSE. CAL, Aug. 24.-The skull
of George w. Schofeld is being prepared
for an exhibit at the trial of Mrs. Schofield
and Dan butcher by DR.. John Mcmahon,
who held an autopsy on the body. This
is being done at the request OF District
Attorney Harrington.
DR.. Mcmahon said this evening that be-
tore he had cleaned the skull it appeared
to him that the fractures had been caused
by blow. but as he could find no marks
on the skull on further examination he
concluded the fractures were produced by
a bullet.
The only thing that strengthens my
belief IN this" said he, sis that Mr.. Scho-
field was an old man, and as his cheek
bones would be very brittle such fractures
might possibly be produced by bullet.
Never before have | seen such fractures
in a human skull. The bullet struck the
left cheek bone, forcing it through to the
other side of the face. This shattered the
right cheek bone, and by the conclusion
the entire front part of the skull was
loosened.h

Saws His Eastern Critic
Knows Naught Of
Breeding Seals.
Displays Ignorance When He
Declares the Markings
Would Disappear.
Experiments Carefully Conducted
Have Proved the Success OF
the Scheme.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Aug.
A.-In an interview with THE CALL cor
respondent DR.. Jordan said to-day that
the opinion of his friend. Professor Elliott,
relative to the branding OF seals was en-
titled to no especial notice because Elliott
knew nothing whatever about the SUBJ
iect, never having seen seal branded
and never having had anything to do
with the process of branding other ami
mails.
"As a matter of fact" said he, "the
branded sealskin in the possession Of the
Treasury Department. was burned while
the pup wore its black coat. After the
wound had healed and had been replaced
by the new coat which corresponds to
that of the adult seal, it was killed and
skinned.
1--WE have now another skin taken in
winter at Akun showing the brands
equally distinct. More than this num-
ber af adult cows were branded and these
reappeared on the islands during the
present season with the brands showing
perfectly. They were branded in Septem-
Der, during the STACEY season, before the
new coat had been acquired. 1t was to
these animals and not to the pups that
reference was made in the dispatch OF the
22d.
1.-THE simple fact is that in a matter Of
this Kind the only test is that OF expert
ment. There is no question that 1t is per-
fectly feasible to brand the seals and that
the brand will remain permanently, as 1t
does on a horse or COW. One man can
brand female seal pups at the rate OF 1000
a day. The brand. will grow with the
growth of the animal. The water hairs
will hide it to some extent, but the part of
the skin on which it appears is perma-
nently spoiled for the furrier's purpose.
1.-THE adult seals can also be branded
without injury, but they are not so easily
handled. AS to the notion that handling
the animals will frighten them and drive
them off to some other island there is no
foundation for il. They mind it no mora
than sheep being sheared or boys mind
having their hair cut. Itwould be as easy
to drive all the boys off to the planet Mars
by cutting their hair as to drive away the
seals by branding the backs of the pups"
