tria, bnt tho ponplo hnd already be.
gun a struggle for freedom, and
William Toll was one OF their ablest
leaders.
Gessler, the Austrian bailiff at
kussnacht, wishing to show his au-
thority and hnmiliato tho Swiss,
, raised his cap on pole in tho mark
ut place Of Altorf, aud ordered all
Passershy 20 uncover and bow down
to It in token of submission. Toll
refused to comply with the arrogant
order, and in cons"qu' nee was con-
demnrd to death. Gessler, however,
! upon learning Of Tells remarkable
skill with tho bow, offered to release
and pardon him il ho would ngtoe TO
shoot IN "ppl" from tho hrnd Of his
own = III. rrII accepted the altorna-
tive, but Lrlcrminrsl that il he failed,
or in any way injurei his little boy,
the hai|iif should suffer for it.
When tho appointed time came,
Tell vrnturrd the shot, and sent an
arrow whizzing through the centre
of tho apple, while his son remained
uninjured. In tho meantime tho
baillf had noticed that Toll had put
two arrows in his quivor, and hsked
why he had done so.
''ro kill thee with, if | had harm
cd my son." answered Toll.
For this bold avowal Toll WAS put
in chains and taken Oh board the
baililf's boat, to be brought to Kuss
nacht. While crossing the lake the
boat was overtaken by fearful
storm, and tho crew, alarmed for
their safety, implorod tho bailiff to
release Toll, who WAS IN export pi-
lot, and lot him steer tho vessel. The
request was finally granted, and as
they nonrod certain point, now
know rs "Tolrs Leap" Tell leaped
ashore and escaped.
| The storm had now abated, and
tho crew brought the vessel safely tc
shore. Meanwhile, Tell concealed
himself in q narrow defile through
which the bailif had to pass, and
mortnlly wounded him with an ur
row. Tho fall of tho tyrannica
Gesslcr was occasion for genera
uprising i'll tn" canton, and tho Aus
trians were driven from the country
In all Of these movements William
| Toll, by his own heroic example, in
spired tho Swiss people with hope.
1t is said that Toll was drowned
in tho Schachen, while heroically try
ing to rescue boy.

CHINESE-MADE UNIFORMS. That is What Many of the Volunteers
 Will Be Obliged to Wear.

A committee from the Building Trades Council is Investigating a rumor to the effect that wholesale tailors who have received contracts for uniforming the vol unteers are giving Chinatown the prefer ence in having the goods made up in order to get the work done cheaper. At the last meeting of the council 1t was re- ported that Messrs. Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., had received a contract for 30,00O uniforms and that the goods were being distributed among the Chinese for man ufacture. Much indignation was ex- pressed over the matter, and 1t was said that many of the volunteers would refuse to wear uniforms made by Chinese.
 E. s. Rothchild when questioned re- garding the matter, said:
 "Yes, we have received a large con- tract from the Government and are hav- ing portion of the work done in China town, but not from choice, by any means. The Chinese never patronize us, and there Is no reason why we should patronize them We have simply found It impossi- ble to find enough white people who are willing to do the work, and if anybody to do is to come here, and we will give them all they can do, so long as they are willing to take it at a reasonable figure. When we received the contract we were visited by union tailors, but they wanted more to do the work than we were get tised for men and women to take the work out but there were so few who re- sponded that we were forced to send portion of it to Chinatown in order to fulfill the contract l can see no reason why they object to our doing this, as mafy other firms have been forced to take the same course. We will give white men the preference any time."

 GREAT HURRY H. L. Norton Bushes Away From His Hotel. HIS WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN. FRIENDS SAY HE IS ON A BUS
 MESS TRIP. Off to Close a Deal That May Make or Lose Thousands
 of Dollars for
 Him.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 90S Broadway, May 2O
 About week ago H. l.. Norton, one of the partners in the management Of the Galindo Hotel. took his grip and without saying good-by to his partner or his friends left for parts not within the knowledge of any one at this time.
 All kinds of rumors have been started, but although no one. not even his wife, knows where he is at this time, all as- sert that his sudden departure was per fectly businesslike and proper.
 H. E: Allen, real estate dealer has long been the bosom friend of Norton and knows more of his affairs than any one else.
 "I must admit that MT. Norton made silly mistake in leaving so hurriedly," said MT. Allen tonight, but he could not help it. He should of course have told his friends and those with whom he was interested in business, but l was partly responsible for it. Last Friday night I received very important letter from MT. Norton. It concerned big deal in which he was interested, and made it imperative that he leave in fifteen min utes for Bedding.
 T cannot tell you the nature or the deal, but it means thousands to him If he is successful and he will lose all II 1t prove a failure. l really could not tell where he is at present and could not
  is travelling. That is all l know: MT Norton did not clear out to avoid any thing, and neither did he go away with another woman, as have heard. His ac- counts are all clear, but this deal was or such great importance that he could not delay even an hour, and of course hls friends think his nasty departure very funny; but it is all right
 T expect he will be back in couple or weeks, but he has such deal or traVei- ing to do that he may be longer.
 Mrs Norton and her children are still at the hotel, but cannot tell where MT Norton is just at present. About week ago." said Mrs. Norton tonight, my husband received an important letter and he rushed in to me and kissed p" good-by and said he would be back in two weeks All these stories are very un- pleasant, and I am sure they have no foundation. MT. Norton expected to be he told me he had big deal in hand
 ''I don't know the nature of it, but he expects much from it.. l do not know where he is now, as I have not heard from him since he left, but l am sure he will be back in a couple Of weeks.
 MT. Reuter-, who is the partner of NOT ton in the big hotel management, says everything is in good shape, althoug his partner left at few minutes notice. He says there may be a change in the man agement before Norton comes back, but says such an event is not at all strange
 In the meantime inventories are being taken, a representative of the Galindo es- tate Is on hand. partnership arrangements are somewhat complicated, and new par ties are seeking the lease of the hotel
