KNIFE HURLED AT HIS HEAD
DUEL IN BUTCHERS SHOP MAR
RoWLY AVERTED.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


Calvin P Kinds, proprietor of the Bos-
TON Meat, Market, Sal San Pablo avenue,
reported to the police to-day an expe-
rience he had last Saturday night. pre-
sumably with maniac, the particulars OF
which rival those of the murderous at
tack made on H. K. Belden with an ak
several weeks ago.
II was about closing time, according to
Mr.. Kinds statement. when a stranger OF
medium height and apparently 50 years
of age stepped into his market, casually
inspecting some of the meats hanging on
the racks. The strangers visit aroused
no particular curiosity, but after the mar
ket had been deserted by the usual even
ing shoppers, the stranger suddenly
grabbed a huge butcherknife from one Of
the blocks, and rushing at Hinds he de-
clared that he had come to Kill him If he
moved.
IT'S no crime to kill butchers!' shouted
the stranger, his eyes glaring like those
of a madman: "for they kill innocent
cattle and playful lambs. That's why L
kill butchers, and there's nothing wrong
about that"
Realizing now that he was to be made
the victim of murderous attack by
maniac, and being so situated that ne
could not reach a weapon or defense,
Hinds tried his persuasive powers, ana
agreeing that all butchers are bad lot
suggested that If he should be spared ne
would never again kill cattle, but would
assist in annihilating those who persist
in so doing.
During an unguarded moment, Hinds
made a desperate dash for heavy meat
cleaver and the stranger, realizing tha1
he had been outwitted, promptly retreated
to the door and hurled the knife at the
butcher Fortunately the point OF the
blade was imbedded in block.
Almost Frustrated over his narrow eS-
cape Kinds stood dumfounded, while the
retreating assailant shouted: Il will not
kill you now. You can live three, weeks
longer and then I'll get you. With these
words the stranger left and has not been
seen since. -
Mr. Kinds declares. that he had never
met the stranger before, and that ne Is
not aware of any reason why any one
should desire his death.
The description of Kinds assailant tai
lies with that of Frank Cheeseman, the
murderer who some weeks ago escaped
from the Stockton Insane Asylum, but II
is not believed to be the murderer OF
Henry Brooke. for the police are now con
fdent that Cheeseman has gone East TO
an uncle.

street, awakening the inmates and act

HONOLULU, July 4.-There appears to
be a strong probability that an attempt
will shortly be made to connect the sew

from Oahu, although the distance is sixty
miles Local capitalists are carefully con-

GERMAN PRAISE OF DEWEY.
Denial Of Ill-Feeling Over Affairs at
Manila.

Capt. Lieut.. Won Rebeur-Paschwitz,
naval attache of the German embassy, has
recently made several complimentary state
ments in regard to the American navy,
officers men and ships. He Is the officer
who made such a favorable report to the
German admiralty concerning the consider
alton shown him by American naval circles
during the Spanish war that it brought a
strong letter of thanks from the minister
of marine of Germany to Secretary Long,
and to some extent offset the tension aris-
ing over alleged differences between the
American and German naval officers in the
Philippines. Referring to the operations in
the Philippines, Capt. Rebeur-PaschwitZ
said:
Il have never yet heard from any Ger
man officer a word of ill-feeling over affairs
at Manila. While at home recently | met
a number of our officers who were just out
from the Philippines, and who had been
stationed on our ships throughout the war.
They spoke most cordially of American
officers, and of the fraternizing of your
sailors and ours. There Is not the slightest
feeling, i can assure you, among German
naval officers towards their brother officers
on this side. Personally. 1 look upon
Dewey a fine type of the sailor-gentle-
man; quiet modest, but with plenty of
energy. And / wish your people could I'M
derstand that we look upon Admiral Won
Deiderichs whom l know personally, in
much the same way; not as he has some
times been represented in this country, but
as the quiet sailor; the last man in the
world to give needless offense. and SPLEEN
did type of the gentleman anoat with
two such men. it Is unfortunate that ex-
aggeratlon has created some ill-feeiing
and know German officers do not share it
and will be glad to it disappear. 1
| would like to see some of our naval train
ing ships come to American waters, visit
| ing Norfolk and possibly Annapolis, SO
that our young sailors could get an idea
of the energy and ingenuity shown all
through the American navy"

TO CONSIDER INFANT FAITH.
Doctriunl Problem of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church..

A dispatch from York Pa. says the most
important session of the general synod of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church ever held
In the United States will convene in this
city at T:30 o'clock on Wednesday evening.
Three hundred delegates will be present
and the session will be marked by unusual
features. One Of these features will be the
presence of an unprecedented number of
fraternal delegates.
The general council OF the Lutheran
Church of the United States, split from
the general synod. will be represented by
Rev. DR.. Sess Of the Broad Street Church,
Philadelphia. This will be the second time
that body has been represented in the gen.
eral synod since its secession in 1861. The
united synod of the south, which was FORM
ed by a detection from the general synod
during the civil war, will send fraternal del
egateS.
The other church bodies which will be
represented by fraternal delegates are the
united Norwegian synod. the Presbyterian
general assembly and the reformed general
synod. Infant faith topic which has
been under discussion the past four years,
will probably come before the general
synod for final disposal. At the last bien-
Mai session the committee failed to agree.
and II is said that If the committee falls at
this session the synod viii be asked to de-
eide the question
