SHAD.

The spawning grounds of the shad
are the Delaware, above Trenton, to
the head waters. The average female
shad deposits about 10000 eggs. Of
these it is estimated that not more
than 10 per cent. are Matched, the re-
mainder either not being fertilized or
else are destroyed by the many other
fish in the river. OF those left it is es-
timated that 80 per cent. are devoured.
Thus out of 10000 eggs, laid only
about twenty-five or thirty young fish
reach the sea in safety. 1t is in the
Matching of shad that man outdOes
Nature, for out of every 10000 eggs,
man by artificial methods can cause 80
per cent to be Matched against the 10
per cent. of Nature. The young, ar
tifcially Matched, must be placed al
most Immediately in the natural
breeding grounds, and assuming that
80 per cent. of these little creatures
will be devoured by larger fish, there
will still remain 3, 700 to reach the sea,
against twenty-five or thirty by natural
Matching. 1t may be stated here that
in consequence of the greatly increased
demand within the past few years, if it
were not for artificial Matching, the
shad would by this time have almost
disappeared from the Delaware and
| from all other streams, for that matter.

SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

Spain has been buying American
mules for her army in Cuba for some
time, and now it is announced that she
has contracted for large quantity of
American coal to be delivered at the
Cape Verde Islands, for her navy. Its
delivery is more than doubtful.
The powers of Europe are not will
ing to help Spain fight, but is evident
that they lend her diplomatic assist
ance.
Delivers in folk lore have discovered
that the "cake walk" generally sup
posed to have originated with southern
negroes, really came from France.
Neither of those two eminent has
beens, John. J. Ingalls, and David B.
Hill, have, so far as known, girded on
their swords for war.

only waiting to get all the Americans
out of Cuba, by sending the message

Peculiar Methods of
 Judge Mogan.
WILLIS SUPREME PULL
THE JANIToR POLITICIAN SCORES A VICTORY.
He Induces the Court to Have the Woman Whom He Insulted Taken Into Gus
 tody.

Ike Willis, politician and janitor, was arrested Thursday night and charged with vulgar language.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock a woman who poses as his wife was walking along Powell street, when she was accosted by Willis, who applied an opprobrious cpl thet to her. Sergeant Harper, who hap pened to be present, placed Willis under arrest for vulgar language. Yesterday the case was heard by Judge Mogan and notwithstanding that Sergeant Harper positively swore that Willis had used the language attributed to him, the court dis missed the charge.
 To the astonishment of the arresting officer and even Willis himself Mogan turned to Harper and ordered him to ar rest the woman.
 ''She is the guilty party" he rather em- phatically remarked. "I order you to bring her into this court forthwith.
 The extraordinary action of Mogan dumfOunded the court attaches and caused a litter of merriment to run through the crowd Of hangerS-on. Har- per attempted to explain that It was a mistake to arrest the woman. but he was promptly cut short by the ofhcious Judge.
 As the woman was in no way guilty of any WrOng-dOing. but was grossly lnSult- ed by Willis, Chief Lees does not intend to arrest her. The police admit that she is not of good character, but they claim that Mogan has no right to order her into custody, considering that no charge is pending against her. They also assert Willis has been living with the woman and as she threatened to leave him he resorted to billingsgate In order to in timidate her.
 Several witnesses were subpenaed by the prosecution to show that Willis had used vile language, and when placed un- der arrest threatened to break the or ficer. For some unexplained reason the presiding officer of No l court refused 10 hear their testimony, but ordered Will lis discharged without even the formaAty of a trial.
 Wiliis has frequently boasted that he could square" any case in the Police Court, and judging from the disposition of his case he has certainly kept his word.

Esnanad From Jail.

Edward Burns. who was serving a sen- tence of six months imprisonment in the County Jail for till-tapping, escaped from that institution yesterday morning. Burns was trusty, and his duty Tn the early morning was to remove the gar bage from the jail to a scavenger's wagon outside in the alley. Deputies Malloy and Callahan were on guard in the alley, and the usual crowd of sightseers were gathered around the place. Burns took advantage of the crowd and jumped over the wagon and ran away, the deputies pursuing, but the prisoner outfooted them and escaped in the mazes of the alleys in that vicinity.
 This is the first escape that has taken place since Jailer Sattler took charge and he will spare no effort to recapture Burns.

OUTSIDE DISTRICT LIGHTS.
The Question Being Carefully Con-
 sidered by the Supervisors.

Since the new contract for the lighting of the public streets has been let to the San Francisco Gas and Electric Light Company, which runs for two years from the first of the present month, several applications have been made to the Su- pervisors and also the light company for lamps on outside districts.
 The petition of H. II. Clifford is for him. self and other property owners on the line of Silver avenue from Mission street to the San Bruno road, distance of about three miles. On this stretch of new territory. which has within the past Sew years become a favorite drive the property owners want thirty-five electric lights distributed at the intersections of Cambridge. Wayland, Bacon, Girard, Bur rows, Felton, Gottingen, University, Ed inburgh, London and Sillman streets, or such other points as the Supervisors may designate, Sc. long as the lamps are placed along the line of street.
 In addition to this they ask that hy- drants be placed at convenient locations, so they may be approached by the en- zines of the Fire Department. Added to this the service of few police call boxes would be considered a special favor to the residents, as well as @ convenience to the officers on duty. Fifteenth ave nue (south) is in for requisition for a few lamps from San Bruno road to Rail- road avenue.
 Sunset Valley has asked for ten 2OOO- candle power lights for that section; lslcHUlOnu WdnlS StA ulSlllDuNtQ ONtI US area; Capp street is modest and would be satisfied with four, while the people living along the line of the Mission and who travel over the Inglesde road want at the very least fifteen, from Mission street to the end of the electric car line west of the race course.

FOR PURE FOOD AND
 SMOOTH HIGHWAYS
REVIVING THE COUNCIL OF
 ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES.
Meeting of Delegates From the Com mercial Bodies to Be Called.
 To Enter Into Politics.

The first move toward reorganizing the Council of Associated Industries was made yesterday by the Manufacturers and Producers Association, as previous ly announced by The Call. At a meet ing of the directors of that body Presi- dent Sbarbaro stated that the Legisla- ture is to meet soon, and it is now time to take up the work again that was un- dertaken before the last session of the law makers at Sacramento. The com bined efforts of the Chamber of Com merce, California State Board of Trade, Merchants Association, Miners Associa- ton and other equally influential bodies had done much good for the general pub lie, but the work was by no means in ished. The pure food question must be taken hold of again and agitated until the laws are made so strict that 1t will be better for dealers and manufacturers to furnish pure foods than adulterated and impure goods. For the protection of free white labor the lines must be drawn closer and tighter around the con- vict-made goods question. Better roads must be constructed and all these re- forms must be accomplished through the representatives Of the people In the Leg islature.
 It was also stated that the associa- tion would not enter into politics for the sake of politics, but for the benefit of the State. and the people and the en- largement of the industries. It was de- cided to have President J. A. Filcher call a meeting of the council at an early date and begin the laying of a plan for fu- ture operations. Previous to asking for this call the officers of the Manufactur- CTS Association will hold a meeting with the Board of Health and Attorney Dunne with a view of learning what amend ments to the present laws and what new laws will be desirable to recommend when the council meets. The purpose of this is to find what can be accomplished and what is the most important to com mence upon first. Then there must be work with all the power at the disposal of the organizations to accomplish the desired results

Flags will form a pleasing feature of the greeting, as each spectator has been asked to bring one, whether it be on a stick or in the form of a handkerchief.
 The magnificent reception to the boys in blue is being prepared by the Knights Templar, who are ably seconded by the Red Cross Society of this State Every thing Is being done to make the occasion one to be long remembered in the annals of both societies. Invitations have been forwarded to the various auxiliaries throughout the State, and as the railroad company has consented to a half rate many hundreds will journey to the city to participate in the big event.

 Both Hands Burned.

Florence Williamson, a nurse, living at 2S Webster street, while visiting friends at 623 O'Farrell street last night had both her hands severely burned. Noticing that her gloves were soiled the unfortunate woman cleaned them with gasoline and then held them over a lighted coal oil lamp to dry.
 While her attention was temporarily ab- stracted the gloves caught fire and before she could extinguish the flames her hands were badly burned. The injured woman was taken to the Receiving Hospital by a friend. where she was treated by Dr. Thomas Maher.
