Zieba, and was engaged by the man. agement of the Thalia Theater to re- gale the patrons of the place with her musical selections.
 When the Mining Fair opened she was engaged to sing for one afternoon, and signed a contract to that effect. Her extra engagement made her a little late in reaching the Thalia, and the proprietors, James and Isidore Schwartz, made objection to the mat ter. The engagement was suddenly terminated and the Baroness now claims that there is owing her S30 out of the salary agreed upon when she signed her contract with the music hall.
 She testified on the stand that the management had asked her to come to the Thalia early, as three wealthy men had called to see her, and she must do her duty by the house. She said that for her singing at the Miners Fair she had signed for $50, of which she had received $30 from her manager and had offered to pay a fine of S10 at the Thalia for being late and singing at another place. It was brought out that she was singing under the name of Miss Matthews, and that she had of fered to perform under the name of Baroness von Zieba if she were allowed compensation of $200 per week.
 The case resolved itself into a ques-

 WOODLAND, Feb. 25.-Amos W. Gable passed away in this city last evening, a victim of pneumonia.
 MT. Gable was born in Ohio on Septem- Der 10, 1884. In 1853 he made a contract with Harvey Porterfield, by which the latter was to pay his way to California, and MT. Gable was to compensate him in work after his arrival in this State. He drove 0 team across the plains, and, af- ter arriving in California, went to work for MT. Porterfield and his brother, re- maining in their employ for five years. At the end of that time he went to work for himself and in 1861 he was joined by his brother, Harvey c. Henceferth the two were partners in all business enter prses and they made their homes to- gether. For several years thereafter their lives were hard struggle. They encountered many privations, reverses and disappointments before they securely anchored the foundation for the fortune they afterward acquired
 On June 1, 1874, Amos Gable married Miss Mary Gottwals of Yolo County. The union proved happy one, and the fruits of it have been four children-one son and three daughters. The widow. the mother and the deceased's favorite brother, Harvey C., survive him. The funeral will take place from the family residence at o'clock on Saturday. It is probable that Professor A. M.

 Contract.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call. e SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 25.-An im- portant case now being heard in the Su- perior Court has bearing all over the State. It is one in which Miss May Newell seeks to hold the Board of Edu- cation to a repudiated four years con- tract.
 About two years ago the Board of Ed ucation of this city employed all teach CTS under a four years contract. Dur ing the following fall a new board was elected, the members being the unani- nous choice of all political parties It was instructed against long-term em- ployment of teachers. The new board met with the city teachers and after a conference all except the plaintiff agreed to abrogate their contracts. At the open ing of the next school term, Miss Newell appeared for duty, but was informed by the president of the board, J. w. Ste phenson, that she was discharged. She immediately brought suit for $500 dam ages.
 in the complaint these facts were stated, but in the answer the defendants alleged fraud and conspiracy between three members of the old board and charged that the plaintiff was elected at the instigation of a member to whom she was financially indebted, and that she was wholly incompetent.
 Judge Oster suggested from the bench legations be stricken out, which was done The case came up on it's merits on Wednesday and will last into next TEpek

Three Fishermen Perish in dn Angry Sea
 at Haifnoon Bay.

REDWOOD CITY, Feb. 25.-Three men were drowned at Halfmoon Bay this afternoon, their boat being cap sized by the heavy seas. The news was first given by three boys who were on the beach about a mile from Half moon Bay and were witnesses to the catastrophe. They were watching a fishing boat, not more than 200 yards from shore, trying to beat it's way through the waves. In the boat were three men. An extra large wave upset the boat and the boys say that two of the men immediately sank in the ocean. The third man managed to cling to the boat. He held on for ten or fifteen minutes, but he too was finally washed off and disappeared with his con- panions.
 The boys watched for some time, thinking that the men might possibly succeed in reaching the shore Later the boat was washed up on the beach and secured. It was a fishing boat twenty-two feet long, in which were nets and fishing tackle, and also shot gun. Nothing has been discovered as yet which would lead to the identifica- tion of the trio. The beach is being watched in the hopes of recovering the bodies

Special Dispatch to The Call.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 25.-An interest ing session of the annual convention of the State Young Mems Christian Con vention was held to-day. The attend ance was larger than on the previous days. The three principal subjects dis cussed during the day were: "A Glance at the Field" "The Physical Man" and s"California's $ Young Men" These were divided into classifications, and each of the classes was presented by several of the prominent delegates. Those who conducted the discussion of the sub ject, Physical Man." were L. c. Dale of Stockton, who took up class work, which, he said, did more than any thing else to bring out the best points of the young man.
 Drs. H. L. Deitz and w w. Roblee, directors of the San Francisco and Riverside organizations, respectively, presented the outdoor feature of the work of the society, which they claimed was one of the things that created the interest in the Young Mems Chris tian Association. w o. Black talked of the necessity for athletic work, and said that it prepared the young man effectively do the work of the society along other lines contemplated.
 Probably the most interesting discus sion which has yet taken place in the convention was when the subject, Cal ifornia's Young Men," was taken up. The principal points were made by c. B. Willis, secretary of the association at Milwaukee, who said that upon the young men depended the future of the country. Their influence for right or wrong was a matter of great moment to every citizen, and he knew that the Young Mems Christian Association was doing a great and good work by put ting many young men on the right path. The speaker cited many in- stances where the work of the society in shaping the lives of young men had been the means of doing the country and the public a great service. It should be the constant effort of every member of the society at all times, said he, to point out to the young man his advantage for by so doing they do a public service. Influence was every thing-it either made or ruined the man.
 N. H. Jacks of Oakland closed the discussion. His theme was ''The Flu ture of the Young Man." which, he said was what the man made it. To aid him to shape his life right meant to shape his future. Start the young man out right and he would remain steadfast to early pious and good training
 Tomorrow the members of the con- vention will be treated to a drive about the city and valley by the citizens and the local society.

Jerry Regan's Experience With a Highway Robber While on
 His Way Home.

Jerry Began, who resides at Fourth avenue and Kentucky street. while on his way home on the evening of the 23d, was stood up by a footpad on the Fourth street bridge. Began was walk ing across the bridge when a short-set fellow stepped out from behind wood pile and dealt him a, savage blow over the head with some blunt instrument that partly stunned him. When realizing that his adversary was bent on mischief he on the back of the head settled all the fight that was in Jerry, and consequently he tamely submitted to fate. The high wayman understood his business, for without loss of time he went through Jerry's pockets and much to his disgust he was rewarded by finding b cents and an old clay pipe.

lT is believed that Germany has
been scheming to take a hand in the
disposition of the Philippines. The
authorities at Washington have
learned that, acting under instruction
from Berlin, the German commander
in chief of the Asiatic squadron has
been investigating the coal deposits Of
the islands. This has been consider
ed OF sufficient importance to be laid
before the Peace Commission. The
President does not propose to allow
Germany to secure any of the Philip
pines or to permit Spain to dispose of
any territory in the far East. and has
instructed the commission TO demand

Islands for the United States.
