DRAGGED TO Death.
THE "PALE HORSE" AND ITS
RIDER.

In the middle ages, men racked their
brains to invent barbarous forms of
punishment. Just as In Nero's time
unhappy Christians were martyred as
a public spectacle and the gladiators
"butchered to make a Roman holiday"
so in these latter times punishment
was inflicted ~ amuse the public, ana
the cruelty of the punishment often
added to the pleasure of the populace.
To see man tied to the streaming
tail of some unframed horse and
dragged to death by the wild creature
was "a rare spectacle. and was sure TO
draw a good turnout and increase
the popularity of the governing power
which provided such cheap and harm
less @ amusements for the people.
Can we imagine any man voluntarily
submitting himself to be tied to the
horse and dragged and kicked to
death? Such a. thing would be in
credible. And yet men are standing
still, unresisting, while every day time
is binding them faster and faster to
that pale horse" whose rider is Death.
one of the earliest things we are
taught as children, is that the might

1t is reported that Governor Lord Of
oregon is coming TO San Francisco to in
quire into the condition and treatment of
the Oregon recruits who are attached to
the Third Battalion of the Twenty third
Infantry. He will find upon investigation
that he has been misinformed. as these
recruits have been well treated and are
Well otticered. The men themselves Will
TESTIFY to that fact. In this connection
general Miller yesterday sent the follow
ing communication to Adjutant General
Field of the Department of California:
In reply to kilograms of september b
from the Emergency Corps and Red Cross
Society, L would state that l personally
inspected the battalion of Oregon volun-
teers this morning. There are five good
officers, four of whom are regulars, in
charge of the battalion of recruits. The
men are we'll equipped, are well fed and
happy, and one of the best drilled bat
talionS in the service. No one appeared to
want to be mustered out as long as there
was a chance for foreign service. There
was an apparent justification for this re-
port three weeks ago, owing to the en-
vironment of the troops of Camp Merritt,
and a chanFe of officers attached to II on
account of officers who had been attached
going to Manila or Honolulu. The bat

A RETURN TO THE
ROMANCE OF YOUTH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY LIKE
UNTO THE ORIGINAL.
The Macdonalds of Aptos Come Here
in Teams to Celebrate Their
Silver Wedding.

The register of the Occidental Hotel
was filled yesterday with names of parties
who reside in Aptos. They are P. G. w.
Macdonald, F. L. w Macdonald, c. w.
Macdonald, w. w. Macdonald, the Misses
Wageneaar and Scherder, A. Van Herman
Jansen, H. Van Herman Jansen and T.
Van Herman Jansen. Back of this visit
to the city is a story running through
twenty-five years and which discloseS a
bit of romance.
Twenty-Five years ago P. G. w. Mac
donald, then young man of good bust
ness prospects, courted one of Santa
Rosa's most beautiful daughters, and
success favored his efforts. The young
couple, with the wedding party, came to
San Francisco In teams and were mar
ried in the Occidental Hotel The we'd
ding was as picturesque as orange bios
SONS, a romantic attachment and enthu-
siastic friends could make 1t.
After the honeymoon Mr.. and Mrs. Mac
donald returned to Santa Rosa They
did not remain in Sonoma County for any
length of time, but went to other portions
of the State, where the even tenor of
their married life continued to run it's
and a half have gone by, and despite the
rubs and sand-papering that the early ro-
nance has been subjected to, the Macdon-
aids have returned to the day when they
stood under the marriage bell in the Occi-
dental Hotel.
The string of names written yesterday
morning on the Occidental Hotel register
indicate a family history. To return to
the days of yore the trip from Aptos,
Monterey County, was made in teams.
Upon their arrival here Major Hooper Of
the Occidental Hotel hunted up his old
registers and discovered what room was
used by the Macdonalds when they were
married. The same room, decorated as 1t
was twenty-five years ago, will see the
silver wedding ceremonies. but there will
be more Macdonafds and sothers of the
same blood taking part in this anniver-
sary. 1t is a happy family reunion.

NO COMPLAINT TO MAKE
A Member Of the Tennessee
Regiment "Roasts"
Kicker.

A private of the First Tennessee Regi-

Man" writes to The Call as follows:
In The Call of the 7th 1 see an article
addressed to Hugh Craig, president of
the Chamber of Commerce. and signed.
The Enlisted Men of the First Tennessee
Regiment thereby implying that said ar
ticle voiced the sentiment of the entire
regiment of over 1900 men. Now, l am
an enlisted man and L have talked with
a great many enlisted men, and have
never yet met one who knew anything
about such a letter having been written
over such an article being accredited to
the regiment Every enlisted man in our
regiment enlisted to serve for two years
or until the war is over. The war is not
over, neither have we served two years,
and until we have fulfilled our agreement
the inclination nor the right to ask for
discharge. Being an enlisted man, l
know as much about the sentiment of
this regiment as the man who signs him
nessee'; and l know that a majority OF
this regiment is willing to fulfill its obli-
cations to the Government. AS for the
men not getting enough to eat, L VIII say
l weigh 1S5 pounds, and eat accordingly,
and | have never yet failed to get enough
70 eat, and will venture 10 assert that
70 per cent of the men in this regiment
weigh more to-day than the day they
enlisted.
81 know Of one man in this regiment
who is a chronic kicker. 1 have known
him and his people for years, and know
that he never in all his life had as much
to eat as he has had since he joined the
army This class of men always kick. A
majority of US are men and soldiers, and
not afraid TO serve our country in time of
peace or time of war"

IN A PADDED CELL
WITH HER BIRDS
MISS HARRIET BATES A VICTIM
TO HALLUCINATIONS.
She Came Here From Boston Re-
Gently to Do Missionary Work
for the Methodist Church.

Harriet Bates, lady-like little woman,
is in a padded cell in the Receiving Hos
pital of her own volition, but she is sorry
now that she placed herself in such po-
stion, and would like to be released
She has nine birds in cage in her cell
to Keep her company, all being canarieS
except one, which she calls a red bird, and
which seems to be her favorite. The birds
have been her companions all over the
ton to do missionary work for the Method
iSt church.
She arrived here two or three weeks
ago and introduced herself to Rev. Dr.
Wilson of the Howard Street Methodist
Episcopal Church. She informed him of
her wish to do missionary work in the
city, but as she was without funds she
would require pecuniary assistance. She
had borrowed 800 on four lots she owned
near Boston before leaving on her travels,
but it was all spent
There was something in her manner that
puzzled the clergyman, and on question
Ing her he discovered that she was haunt
ed by the idea that she was being pursued
by enemies who sought her life. He in
duced her to see a physician, but as she
could not get any satisfaction from him
she called at the insane ward of the hos
pital Tuesday and told DR.. Wadsworth
that she wanted him to find out If she was
suffering from Authorizations. The doc
tor thought 1t advisable to lock her up,

THE VIBRATIONS OF
LANDLORD COLE
TROUBLE IN A HOUSE CAUSED
BY SERGEANT WOLFE.
The Officer Is Nephew of Chief Lees
and Is Therefore Naughty
and Domineering.

A communication to the Board of Police
Commissioners wherein Police Sergeant
r. Wolfe is mentioned in a manner that
is not calculated to inspire confidence in
his ability as a guardian of the peace
was promptly referred by the Commits
sioners to Chief Lees, and by the latter
functionary promptly transferred to his
nephew, the aforesaid Sergeant Wolfe.
From all accounts Wolfe is clearly Of
the opinion that this is the proper sea-
son to howl, and the place to do the
bowling is at the door of W. A. Cole.
The sergeant occupies rooms in the house
at $50 O'Farrell street. Cole leased the
premises from Madison & Burke and
sought to keep an orderly clearinghouse.
He fancied that his purpose in this re-
spect could be easier of accomplishment
If Wolfe would betake himself to other
lodgings. A notice was therefore served
on the sergeant which might be fairly
translated to mean that Wolfe's room
was better than his company. The fric-
ton between Wolfe and his landlord was
caused in a measure by lodging house
gossip in which several parties partici-
pated. Wolfe treated the notice to leave
with lofty scorn, and threatened to mix
things with Cole If the attempt to force
him out was not abandoned. Cole re-
sponded with a threat to call the patrol
wagon and have Wolfe run in as dis
turber of the peace. This enraged the
sergeant, who asserted that no patrol
wagon would ever leave the station on
orders other than those issued by him
self. The row now began to take on beau
tiful proportions.
Some schoof-teachers living in the house
sided with the police. DR.. kaufman, living
on Jones street, who had rendered on
August % bill of so against Cole for
professional services, interviewed by
bringing suit to recover S2s9 from Cole.

What the outcome of the contest will be
no one can foretell. Cole has everything
of the house. He could live in peace here
after as he did before he met Wolfe if
the latter and his sympathizers would en-
gage accommodations elsewhere. Cole
Gunst, the Honorable Police Commission
ers that Wolfe is a bad man, but the
Commissioners do nothing but refer the
matter to Chief Lees, who is Wolfe's
uncle, and Lees in turn asks Wolfe to in
vestigate himself.
Cole is a graduate of the University of
California. Several Of his classmates hold
high official positions. He is chemist
