FITTING GIFT FOR

Delicate Compliment of the Silk Cult

It is beautiful and essentially Cali

the First California will receive from the
ladies of the California Silk Culture So
ciety, just as soon as General Miller walks
down the gangplank from the transport
Newport to the dock at Old Manila
1t is a shimmering banner OF the ma
tional colors that the general is to deliver
to the heroes of the First, as gift from
the ladies of this State, and it will be
doubly dear to them with the knowledge
that 1t is wholly product of the home
sod. The rich, heavy silk was spun out
by thousands of little native born silk

the golden eagle, the bullion fringe and

flag for a month past. The silk which

ORDERS AND COUNTER
ORDERS MAKE TROUBLE
DRAWING BOOKS IN MISSION
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
Children Sent Home Because Their
Parents Will Not Buy What
the Board Has Once
Discarded.

There is trouble in the grammar schools
Of the Mission. A small sized rebellion
has resulted in over two hundred pupils
taking an unexpected holiday. An order
formulated by the Board of Education,
enforced by the teachers and objected to
by the parents of the children caused the
disturbance.
The order was for drawing books, which
six months ago the board considered I'M
necessary, but now it thinks child's
education cannot be completed without
one. In fact so necessary are they that
pupils who turned up at school yesterday
without them or the money necessary
to purchase were told to go home and
stay there until they obeyed orders.
1T is the same old trouble said a dis
guSted parent yesterday. There Is a
stack of school books in my house three
owing to the changing of the rules of
the Board of Education. A book good
enough for my eldest daughter is useless
when my second child gets into the class
NOTED. About six or seven months ago
the Board of Education issued an order

the rest. A few days later the children
were told that drawing was not to be
taught, and that they might take the
books home. Well, of course. they were
no use except for writing exercises in or
as scribbling paper, and as such my girls
used them.
II thought nothing more of the matter
until last week, when my children came
home and said the order for drawing
books had gone forth again. 1 was mad
clean through and refused to get them,
and my children told their teacher so.
They were given until last Monday In
which to buy the books, and yesterday
with about thirty others for failure to
obey. OF course I will have to buy the
books, but the children will have few

DEATH MET HIM
ON THE STREET
THE SUDDEN DEMISE OF C. n.
SUMMERS.
He Was General Circuit Manager of
the Western Union and One Of
It's Highest officials.

That solemn admonition in the good
book which warns mankind that ''in the
MIDST Of life we are in death" applies
most strikingly to the case of c. II. Sum-
mers, general circuit manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, who
died of heart disease very suddenly last
night.
Mr.. Summers was the representative of
the vice-president of the great telegraph
corporation, and aside from his other
duties was general manager of all the
Western Union lines west of Pittsburg.
He was hard worker. and came to San
Francisco on trip combining business
afternoon he visited several Of his friends
and talked of his plans for taking recre-
alton trips to the points of special inter-
est in the State.
The demands of business occupied his
time till about 10 O'Clock p. m. and he then
went for a walk with q friend. While
taken suddenly i'll and asked to be con-
Quoted to a place where he could imme-
diately receive the assistance of a physi-
clan.
The dying man was conveyed to 22OA
O'Farrell street, and tenderly placed in
a bed. At the same time a physician was
past medical aid when the doctor arrived.
In fact he had his death stroke before he
reached his couch.
1t was a sad and sudden ending Of the
career of a man who was one of the most
widely known in active business life in
the country.
His career as a telegrapher began with
the opening of the Civil War, when he
had charge of a military division of
This arduous labor was
continued until the close of the great con-
test, when he entered the service of the
Western Union Company in a minor posi-
ton. His abilities won rapid advance
ment, until he ranked with the highest
executive official in the company.
Deceased left a widow and several
grown children, who are prominent in the
society and business circles of Chicago,
where he had his headquarters.
The news of the sudden demise of Mr..
Summers was telegraphed to his family

almost simultaneously with one blast,
showing they were directing their course
to starboard
Both captains apparently realized that
a collision was inevitable and signaled
Full speed astern. The Peters struck the
Czarina full on the port bow.
The utmost excitement prevailed, as
the severity of the collision indicated that
the Peters had been badly damaged. The
passengers ran about wildly, but the
crew soon ,quieted them in degree and
women passengers were placed in these
and landed on Angel Island.
The Captain Weber was the first to
render US assistance. She left this city
when the collision occurred The passen-
gers were transferred to the Weber and
continued on their way to Stockton.
Before leaving she tried to beach the
Peters. After being run aground the first
time she drifted off into deep water on
the heavy tide. She was towed back sew
eral times.
1.-The Monticello came along on her
with the only man severely wounded in
the collision. We had about one hundred
and thirty passengers on board and a
crew of between fifty and sixty men in
the various departments. The passen-
gers lost all their personal baggage and
the cargo will be a total loss.
THE bay in the vicinity of the wreck
was covered with the cargo, which fioated
out OF the wreck as she sank down to her
texas deck"
An anxious crowd waited the arrival of
c. D. Clark, city agent of the California
Navigation and Improvement Company,
who had taken a tug for the scene of the
catastrophe as soon as the first news was
received.
When his tug arrived off Angel Island
Mr.. Clark learned that the Peters had
already been towed on to the Sausalito
he returned to this city without making
further investigation.

the stream last night about o'clock. She
left Manila on September 20 and at that
place took aboard her only passenger,
Private Louis Patton of the Fourteenth
Regiment of Infantry. Patton was dis
charged, his time having expired in army
service.
After leaving Manila the Morgan City
enjoyed a beautiful voyage to Hongkong.
where she touched three days later. The
passage was also good to Nagasaki and
she steamed out of that port on October
4. Twelve days later severe gale broke
upon the ship which compelled her to
heave to twenty-Six hours. but she rode
the gale like a cork and lost nothing from
her decks. When $500 miles from San
Francisco the crown sheet in one Of her
boilers collapsed, and she was obliged to
continue her trip with one-half steam
power, reducing her speed from 10 to 1888
knots.
Early this morning the transport st.
Paul passed in and anchored off the barge
office near the Morgan City. She also
came direct from Manila.
