Acknowledgements of an Attra ctive Young
 Woman.
Mrs. Hart, Despondent Over Her Friends Death, Threat
 ems Suicide.
Her Brother Is Convinced That She Has Done Away With
 Herself

Frank Lowry, horSeman, vfs1te po~ lice headquarters yesterday afternoon and invoked the aid of Chief of Police Lees and his men in finding his sister. Mrs. B. Hart, who mysteriously disap- peared two days ago.
 The missing woman lived at 1605 Howard street. Lowry returned from the East several days ago and went to see his sister. She appeared despon- dent and when asked for an explana- ! tion she declared that she was heart broken and did not care to live.
 T have lost my best friend" she tearfully remarked, "and you need not be surprised to hear of my death"
 In answer to her brothers Ques- tions the woman said that her best friend had met with a horrible death and that she intended to shortly fol- 1 low her. She referred to Mrs. Rose Ashton, who fell from a second story window of house at All Tenth strest on New Years day and was almost in- stantly killed. The two women were inseparable, their actions giving rise to the belief that they were sisters.
 Lowry chided his sister about feeI- ing heartbroken over the tragic end- ing of her friend and vainly endeaV- ored to cheer her up.
 ''I cannot forget her." she remarked, with tears in her eyes; ''the thought that poor Rose met with such hor- rible death has almost driven me mad.
 Mrs. Hart the donned her best clothes, and after taking an affection ate farewell of her brother left her house. This was Wednesday, and since then she has not been seen. He de- scribes her as being 24 years of age, rather tall, and a pronounced blonde. She was fashionably dressed in a black silk dress and a dark cape, trimmed with white fur.
 Lowry is convinced that his sister has done away with herself. She has a husband, who has been confined to his bed for some time, due to com- plication of diseases. He is greatly worried over her disappearance, and, like her brother, he strongly believes that she has committed suicide.
 After hearing the story of the dis appearance of the unfortunate woman Chief Lees immediately detailed De- tective Anthony to make a search for her.
 It is said that Mrs. Hart was seen on Stockton street last Thursday aft ernoon. weeping bitterly. To a friend she said she was Respondent over the | loss of Mrs. Ashton and had deter mined to kill herself

Foulson paid no attention to him, and was in the act of walking away when the stranger struck him. over the head with the black jack which he had concealed in his sleeve, felling him to the sand. While he lay prostrate on the beach his asSailant went through his clothes, taking his watch and money.

He was poorly dressed, and wore a dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes. Foulson is convinced that he can identify him if he is arrested
 'The attack was so sudden" he said, when telling his story, that l could not defend myself. I left the barracks shortly after noon yesterday intending to take a trip to the Cliff House. After viewing Sutro Heights and the Cliff House I walked down the road and stood on the beach for some time. noticed the stranger watching me, but thinking that he was admiring my un- form, I paid no attention to him. AS I started along the beach he followed me, and when near the Olympic Club Pumping Works he asked me for some money. I laughed at him, and started to walk away, when he knocked me down and then robbed me"

The Chicago Board Of Education has
set about extending the usefulness of
the public school system upon lines Of
recognized utility 1t proposes TO
make the teaching of cooking and sew
ing regular part of the training given
to girls, as well as the ordinary rudi-
mental instruction in reading, writ
ing, ciphering and grammar. In
struction in domestic science will not
be optional but obligatory. Expert
ments made in the Introduction of
these new branches of learning have
only served to confirm their value and
practicability rs a part OF any judici-
Gus system of rudimentary instruction.
Not all the girls who are taught to cook
and sew will of necessity be compelled
to the daily practice Of those accom-
plishments, but none will be worse oil
for such knowledge, and none can tell
upon what emergent occasion protici
ency in either craft may prove invalu-
able. When every girl who attends
the public schools can make shirt,
bake a palNtable loaf of bread, and
broil steak to perfection, what s
country, advanced beyond all others,
the United States will have become!

a. fair aud satisfactory settlement of
the question of awarding the contracts
for the construction of the three battle

submitted by the bidders it was found
that the only thoroughly satisfactory

which amounted To leLgthering the hull
OF the ships from L. TO - feet in order
To gain room for the more powerful en-

The inadequacy of the plan to make
Rear-Admiral Dewey Vice Admiral
is in the nature of the title. Vice
Admiral means just what the words
imply, deputy to an Admiral. Admiral
is noble title. 1t is from the Arabic
Emir .ol-mar, which means "Prince of
the Sea-" Admiral is the title given
by every civilized nation except ours
to the commander of fleet. The Of
ticer second in command is called
Vice Admiral, aud the commanders of
subordinate divisions in a fleet are
called Rear-Admirals. Vice-Admiral
is therefore Just like Rear-Admiral, a
subordinate title 1t implies that its
possessor is a subordinate officer. Adj
miral is title none too good for
Dewey.

The New York Sun observes: The
demonstration of the Importance OF sea
power throughout our war with Spain
has been striking; but it is worth not
ing what a powerful agent in peace
making our navy was even when at
rest. What was it that Spain of late
most dreaded? Not Immediately our
land forces, either in the Antilles or
the Philippines. In Cuba she saw
General Skaters army moving away
from the island on account of the
fever. and she knew that no campaign
against Havana would be tried until
after the rainy season. In any case,
she was ready to give up both Cuba
and Porto Rico, while the fall of Ma
Mia had been a foregone conclusion
ever since Dewey's victory. But
while nothing over the seas lmmedl,
atsly threatened her which she had
not already faced, she could not en-
dure the home panic which would be
caused by an attack of our fleet Oh
her coasts. That our own Govern
ment was fully alive to this fact was
evident from its continued prepara
tions to send an overwhelming force
across the Atlantic, in case of seri
Gus hitch in the peace negotiations
Thus the influence of our sea powe
was visible even while the negotla
tions for peace were going or.
