 Cruelty to Children.

The O'Brien family at 9 Brady street rushed the "growler" so frequently Sun day night that by Il o'clock they were all fighting drunk Policemen Calnan and Blackman happened to be passing along the street about that hour. when they heard cries of Murder! Police" coming from the house.
 The officers entered the house and every member of the family and a neighbor, Patrick Foley, were engaged in general melee Mrs. O'Brien was on the floor and three of her sons were beating her, while she claWed at them. Chairs and tables were broken and the place looked as t 1t had been struck by cyclone.
 All were placed under arrest, and while Blackman went to ring for the patrol wagon two of the younger members of the family and the goat made their escape. Seven were taken to the City Prison John O'Brien, the father; Mary O'Bren, daughter, who had a baby in her arms; Richard, Thomas and William, sons, and Patrick Foley.

Yoeman was sent to inc City and County Hospital, where he died on Sunday. On account of the chill dren Mr Wadham has decided to stand the expense of the old mans funeral as there was nothing left after the wife got et the family sack There is a warrant out for her arrest for deserting the little ones.

WILL PUBLISH THE CATALOGUE
Librarian Taggart of the Mechanics Institute Will Make Some
 Chan pes

Frederick J. Taggart, the new librarian at the Mechanics Institute has now taken charge and proposes to make many small changes for the benefit and convenience of it's patrons.
 There will be little variation in the general system, as the late MT, Jellison kept it in perfect order and no alteration seems necessary. The chief change will bs in making the catalogue public. MT. Taggart has a plan for doing this which he considers perfectly feasible, and the directors are favorable to such a move. Heretofore only members have had ac- cess to the general catalogue, but 1t is conceded that If the public were kept in formed regarding the arrivals of new publications the result would be an inn mediate increase in the membership.
 Mir Taggarts ability as a librarian is well known throughout the country. As assistant librarian at Stanford he had al- most entire charge of the great railroad library at that place, and his system of cataloguing it has been widely copied.
 On assuming charge he found every thing in perfect order, but objects to the location of his office, which is in dark draughty corner. This Till be remedied as soon as possible, and Mir. Taggart will be ready to receive and act upon sug- gestions for the betterment of the ser vice.

GREAT STEAMSHIP OWNER. A. Raggio Will Establish a Line to
 South America.

A. Raggio, agent and one of the prin- cipal owners of the Italian Commercial Steamship Company of Genoa, arrived here yesterday and registered at the Grand.
 He Is one of three brothers and four cousins of the same name, controlling the Steamship Company. Their many steama CTS and sailing. vessels bear the family name. They have seven large steam CTS, all told, many large sailing vessels and numerous smaller ones, and carry freight exclusively all over the world.
 My object in coming here" said MT. Raggio last evening, ifs to arrange for business between South America and the United States. My idea is to take wine from here to South American ports. Buenos Ayres or Valparaiso; load corn there for Europe. and return with gen. tempt of the kind will be made with ves- sels chartered here--not our own-and I expect to arrange for one inside of a Swiss colony and was much pleased with 1t and its wines. I have visited Sor- deaux and many large vineyards in Italy, but have never seen finer vineyards, nor better facilities for wine making"
 The title of Count was conferred on Mr. Raggio's uncle, Edilio Raggio, for his services as president of the Italian American Exposition in 1892.

DESPERATION AT PAL0 ALTO
NO SECRET PRACTICE PLAYS AT
 BERKELEY.
The Rooters of Both Universities Are Preparing for Terrific Noise Making at the Thanks
 giving Day Game.

Yesterday was an eventful day for the two college football teams, as 1t ushered in the last week of training before the Thanksgiving Day game.
 The members of the Stanford eleven who were very attentive spectators of the match between the Olympics and Califor- mia on Saturday returned to Paio Alto with mingled emotions of hope and gloom; the blue and gold went back to tneir na- tive heath none too elated.
 Perhaps the hardest practice ever known in the history of the game on this coast will mark the work of the college elevens until they quit and rest on their past efforts for the annual encounter The practice games on the California campus will be of better order than most match games To strengthen hen the the Plunkett will be enrolled and will play against the big team every night. The graduate players who nave been coacnlng selves in the line fighting the prize eleven for touchdowns.
 With this opposition the nercest ana most grilling work will be forced upon the team which will represent the University of California on the 4th.
 The game on Saturday did not please Cochran, Calfornia's coach. He antici- pated blue and gold victory and disap- pointment was his store when the Oiym- pics scored: For this reason he will Keep ton to have open practice, during which the team will be put through all the eyo- lutions to be used in the big game. Se- cret practice will not be part of the reg ular schedule at California.
 At PaIo Alto conditions are the reverse. Toward the end of the week the team will leave for Congress Springs, at which place secret practice will be most rigidly pursued. Not even the students Of the university will be allowed on the prac- tice grounds at the springs. For the last two years the cardinal eleven has fol- lowed the plan of isolated practice during the last few days before the final strug- gle.
 A report from Palo Alto, which Is sup posed to come from a good source, is to the effect that Parker, the cardinals best end, is out of the play this year. He IS anything but well, suffering severely from malarial fever and Is generally in de- bilitated condition. Bad ankles. sprains and other ailments are running an epi- demic in the Santa Clara County institu- tion if the alarming reports have any foundation in fact.
 Already preparations for processions. systematized vociferation and sonorous gymnastics are being made by the enthu- siasts at each university. California will have a corps of two hundred choice shouters we'll drilled in rhythmic noise making and topped with blue hats orna- rnented with gold ribbons. This corps will parade the streets and follow the college band augmented to forty pieces, to the grounds Stanford is contemplating like features. all for the sake of the god of hOwls.

TO TAKE THE POUND
 OUT OF POLITICS
EFFORTS IF THE MEMBERS OF
 THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
Nearly All of the Board of Supervis- ors-Elect Have Promised to
 Help in the Good Work.

The officers and members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have been working like beavers since, and before election for that matter, to get the management of the Public Pound out of politics and back under the direc- tion of the society again. In this move they have the support and assistance of the best men of the community, and from present appearances they will meet with success. These efforts are not made for the purpose of giving friends a few small jobs as dog catchers, but to make the pound a clean institution again Several years ago. when Chris Buckley was run ming Democratic politics to suit himself, he had for Poundmaster Jake Lindo, and so many complaints were made of the manner in which he conducted the office that the Republican Board of Supervis- ors of eight years ago took the institu- tion out of politics and gave 1t over to the care of the society named.
 Modern and humane methods of inn pounding stray and homeless animals were adopted and a scientific and pain
 less manner of destroying these animal waifs was effected. The animals home and it's furnishings cost many thousands of dollars. For seven years the Public factory to the people, and never com 1 plaint was made. Nearly a year ago this i institution was thrown back into politics through a disagreement between the SO l ciety's poundmaster, F. A. Osborne, and l the management of the society. This was | the excuse the solid eight of the present 1 Board of Supervisors wanted, and since l then the manner in which the pound has | been conducted has not pleased the pub | lie at all. The deputies have impounded l licensed animals and assaulted the citi-
 zens of the city without warrant time
 and again, and the Police Judges have l scored them for their outrages, in addi
 tion to imposing heavy punishments fol
 violating the laws
 Before the recent election nearly all o1 | the Republican candidates were inter i viewed by members of the animals SO 1 ciety, and the assurance was given tha'
 if elected the pound would be given back | into the care of the organization. Since ] the election, which returned almost ar
 entire Republican Board of Supervisors | nearly all of the SuDeTvisors-elect have renewed their promises to take the care
 of the city's animals out of the hands o1

The Prices Take an
 Upward urn.
ADVANCE OF s1 A THOUSAND
EXPORT CARGoES WILL SOON
 FEED THE EFFECTS.
Scarcity of Logs on Puget Sound Is Given as the Cause of the Increase in
 Prices.

The lumber trust that was formed sev- eral weeks ago under the name of the Pine Manufacturers Association is rapid ly accomplishing the purposes for which 1t was created, and the price of lumber is steadily advancing.
 The parties to the trust are -.enton, Holmes 6 Co.,; Pope & Talbot, Tacoma Mill Company, Simpson Lumber Com pany, s. E. Slade Lumber Company, E. K. Wood Lumber Company, D. H. Bibb Lumber Company, Pacific Pine Lumber Company, Wilson Bros. & Co.,, J. w. Van Schoulton, Grays Harbor Commercial Company, Stimson Mill Company, St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company, and the Bellingham Bay Land and Improve ment Company Frank w. Warren is the secretary of the trust, with offices at 29 Steuart street.
 The first move of the new combine was made on November 4, when a meeting was held, at which it was decided to advance cargo prices, both San Francisco and coastwise, from S11 to SIP per thousand.
 On November 10. another meeting was held, when jobbing prices were increased from S14 to S15 per thousand, a uniform increase of $1 per thousand all around. And this does not seem to be the end, for a still further advance is looked for in the course of few weeks, on cargo and jobbing rates. while 1t is certain that export rates will be pushed up at the next meeting.
 The members of the combine have ~rac- tically absolute control of the pine lumber trade and are in a position now to fix prices to suit themselves. Moreover, they stand a good prospect of being able to dlc- tate prices for redwood lumber in the near future. and when they have this branch of the trade also in their hands, there will be nothing to check them from running both pine and redwood up to any figure that may suit their fancy.
 The reason given for the recent advance in prices is the scar city of logs on Puget Sound It is claimed the mills have found it difficult to get anywhere near enough to keep them busy. The rush 70 the KIondike and the war it is asserted, have drawn away so many men that it has been impossible to secure enough hands during the past season to get out logs to meet the demands of the mills. Lumber men profess to see small prospect for i'm provement during the coming season, con- sequently there is little likelihood of lum- Der dropping to the old rates for long time to come.
