There is a firmly rooted belief in the inutility of attempting to make a silk purse out of sow's ear. Another be- lief equally strong is that the baser metals cannot be transmitted into gold. Of these two somewhat analogous be- liefs the latter is based on the results of experiments extending over many years, their beginning lost in the van- ished fumes of the alchemists' furnace, whose mystic glow was a terror to the ancients, a token that science and the devil were in league.
 Count Cagliostro was once described by an irascible old gentleman named Carlyle as "quack Of quacks,' as "a king of liars,' as a gold cook.' The count was supposed to manufacture the precious metal. Tn cold truth, he had a habit of extracting it ready minted from the adjacent pocket of the credu- lous, and Carlyle, having had to earn his own money, and having besides a touch of dyspepsia, was displeased at the pretense. The count having been born reasonably early in the. last cen tury, is dead now, but his memory has been kept green, and here and there an imitator has arisen. Perhaps E. c. Bryce of Chicago is one of these; per- haps the effort to attain the unattain- able has turned the Bryce head. At any rate, MT. Bryce announces that he can make gold with the ease that one less gifted can make bricks. He even gives to the world the formula he en- ploys. It may be good formula for

school houses, this branch being con- signed to the Board of Public Works
 Tn addition to these three directors the superintendent is authorized to ap- point four deputy superintendents, who must have had ten years experience as teachers. Their term of office runs Tor four years, with a similar proyis- lon to that governing the appointment or the directors, that the appointments snail run, two for two years, and two for four years. after the first appoint ments are made, but the directors shall hold for only three years. Full com- pensation is to be paid the directors ana they are commanded to devote their entire time to their duties.
 Delegate Mccarthy fought long and nara for five directors, but the odds were against him, and he had to con tent himself with changing his vote ana giving notice of reconsideration at the next meeting.
 By provision of the article, an ad- oltlonal deputy superintendent is to be appointed when the number of school children reaches 45,000, and for every 10000 thereafter, an additional deputy must be appointed.
 All supplies must be furnished the department by contract, the same to De advertised for and bids received. The salaries of all teachers must be paid on or before the 9th of each and every month and the Supervisors are compelled to make appropriations in the yearly levy in accordance with the schedule furnished them by the direc- tors for this purpose

FRANK |. CO0MBS STATE LIBRARIAN Chosen at Session of the Trustees Held Last
 Night. Before the Board Came to
 Choice.

The trustees of the State Library met at the Palace Hotel last evening and elected Frank L. Coombs State Librarian. The session was held in the rooms of the Republican State Committee. The new trustees are: Frank D. Ryan of Sacra- mento, Jacob Neff of Placer. A. B. Lem mon of Sonoma, Dr. Thomas Flint of San Benito and B. w. Lee of Los Angeles. All attended the session last night
 The names mentioned for the position of Librarian were: Ex-Senator Fraser. James Gills and J. H. Wallis of Sacra- mento, w. H. Seaman. of Los Angeles, Frank L. Coombs of Napa, Horace Will son of San Francisco, ex-Assemblyman Price of Santa Rosa, and MT. Teggart, assistant librarian Stanford University.
 Numerous ballots were cast, but no can- didate on the regular balloting received more than one vote After the board had been in session for nearly two hours a recess was taken. After recess balloting was resumed, but no choice resulting a general exchange of views followed. Finally all the trustees came around to the support of MT Coombs.
 The Librarian-elect was speaker of the last Assembly. He was appointed United States Minister to Japan by President Harrison to succeed John F. Swift and has been frequently mentioned as a can didate for Governor.
 The board adjourned to meet in Sacra- mentO March 2S

GREEN SAYS HE SCRATCHED ALVARADO
He Comes to the Aid of COrri9an, Who Was
 Charged With the Doing of It.
Sinks Horses Are Cheap" Says the Director, ''and They Are All Bad . ActOrS.'

| nothing of the kind. I saw his horse do some very creditabIe work before the race. and said I thought he might do well. never said he was eligible to enter"
 MT. Corrigan also took occasion to say that not since he had any control of the track had there been any races fixed for some one particular horse to win. or had there been any fixing to make it easier for some men and harder | for others.
 Everybody knows I never had any hand in such work and that I will not countenance it." he said. T never wanted a race fixed for myself and would not allow one to be fixed for any one else"
 Despite the denial, however, horse men are not accepting the statement that Corrigan is entirely disinterested with that alacrity which betokens an abiding faith in its truth. But what Corrigan says is pretty near the law out on the track, and the smaller own CTS must stand in or be willing to take the consequences of speaking their minds.
 There are many, too, who have felt the disciplining arm of the track stew ards who attribute their sufferings directly to the fact that they had beaten out a Corrigan horse. w. J. 1 Spiers, owner of the great OConnell, was suspended for sixty days for the cratic running of his two-year- Santello. He was beaten out in one of his early races and later when he ran again, he beat Milt Young, Cor rigan colt, and his suspension followed. This was afterward reduced to thirty days. Spiers assigns the beating of the Corrigan colt as a more direct cause for his suspension than any ques- tion of off running.
 Nolan & Thall of Texas had a sim liar experience, following on the run ming of Also Ran, and J. H. Shields was given a similar vacation for the reversal of form shown in the running of Joe Terry. These men all declare that they received the best of treat ment at the Oakland track, and they blame Corrigan for most of the trou- ble that comes to them on this side The betting of the owners in each case showed poor faith.
 Among the horsemen themselves and among the betting men Corrigan is not liked; and since his breach with S. N Androus, the president of the club, the disesteem threatens to invade the de- Alterations of the directors. The trou- ble with Androus arose from q sug- gestion made by Androus and received by Corrigan very much as he would have received blow. AndrouS would not stand his language, and so the two have not spoken since.
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-03

The announced withdrawal of W. B. Sink from the local turf has caused a ripple of excitement among the race goers and the horsemen. Corrigan does, not care to talk about it-he only takes time to say he knows nothing about the affair.
 Green, secretary of the Jockey Club has come to the rescue of his superior and has announced that it was he and not MT. Corrigan who scratched the luckless Alvarado last Saturday, just when everything seemed to augur well for a winning.
 Mir Corrigan was not pleased with the remarks made about him by Sink, and he said as much in language for cible enough to do duty in any emer- gency He said, too, that he had never any idea of why and how Sink s horse was scratched. but he thought it was because the animal was a bad actor at the barrier and was apt to . spoil the field
 The responsibility for the scratching of the horse seems to be divided, for while Mr. Green maintains that there is no one in the club who has the right to scratch a horse outside of himself. still he is not willing to admit, except by inference, that he did really take Alvarado from among the starters on Saturday. He also denies that he ever told Sink that .Alvarado could run in the race. He declares, however, that Corrigan has no such power.
 Sinks horses are cheap, anyway" said Mir. Corrigan yesterday, as he I,g. S5O ings. He buys cheap horses-horses that are bad actors and have mean tempers-and then he wants to run them without schooling them to the starting gate. He ought to take to something else"
 = MT. Green explains that he scratched Alvarado because the horse did not. act well at the barrier. There is a rule, he said, that all horses must be :schooled at the barrier before being allowed to enter in a race, and he says Alvarado has been at the school ing gate but once and that was yes terday morning.
 "All of Sinks horses are unruly," he said; "and we have had a great deal Of trouble with them. Lucky Dog was a. particularly. ugly horse while he was under Sinks management, but now he gives but little trouble. Alvarado gave us. so much trouble and delay that 1t was decided to refuse his entry, and of course there was bitterness at once.
 T don't see how Sink can say told him his entry of Alvarado was accept able" said MT. Green. flor I said

Leopold Nathan Feldman, a Physician, Ends His Life With an Unknown
 Poison.
He Was the Son of Wealthy Parents in England but Was Left to His Own
 Resources.

1 the rooms where he took his own life. MT. Brachmann said last evening that he had known Feldman for the past eight months, and that he had ap- peared to be rather cratic at times, and without doubt was fond Of the so- ciety of women
 For the past few weeks" he said,
 Feldman has been addicted to hard drink, and even smoked opium at times. l was surprised to hear that ne had committed suicide, but l should not nave been, as he attempted 10 commit the act but few weeks ago. am eX- ceedingly sorry. as his parents are very respectable and wealthy people.
 On the body was found a memoran- dunn book of poems. speaking of love, and all addressed to Regina"
 Dr. Levy said last evening that he had frequently aided Feldman in a financial way, and he believed he was good and hard-wOrking young man. It is admitted that Feldman Is grad uate of Cambridge. No money was dis covered on the body, and 1t is supposed he had sent what little capital he pos sessed to his parents in England. It is probable Dr. Levy will have the body prepared for shipment and sent to his parents, who are as yet ignorant Of the death of their only son.
 Miss Regina Levy, the young lady whose affections Feldman tried to win, was seen at her residence, at 2222 Pine street, last evening. She said that the first news of his death was brought to her by some one from the Coroner's of- flee.
 T have only known pr. Feldman few months, he being a casual visitor to my home,'' she added. Il was nev CT engaged to him, and showed him no affection. Why he should have picked me out in this manner cannot under stand. I deplore the notoriety, and feel sorry for his death as much as would feel for any friend.''

Such StateHlentS have been made from time immemorial' and the process was described Tn tle antique times of Egypt. Transmit Ii tion of metals is dream, anu li,o only redeeming feature of it has been that it led to the foundation or true chemistry"
 Answering the question as 10 whether he had ever made attempts III the direction of discovering the process MT. Price replied that he would as soon think of trying to fly. If by the Bryce method gold could be made" he con- tinued, !" it would be much easier to stay at home and manufacture 1t than to climb the Chilcoot Pass and brave the arctic winter. It is simply hum pug of the first water"
 Professor Price then followed the Bryce scheme through In detail, snow" ing that the outcome would not be a button of gold but of lead; and but ton of lead may be procured at less CrOuDle ana eXpeHSe- IIOISSoOl liam T. Wenzell entirely supported this view.
 Yet there were many who believed in Cagliostro, and there will be disciples of Bryce So be that he shower them with gold buttons Is it for them to cavil at the source? Shall they bru- tally opine that their own good dollars contributed to the advancement of science went into the pot? It would be positive ingratitude. The Count of old fooled people little and there Is noth- ing to show people have grown wiser.
