This was suit in chancery to re-

The court says:
An Inn is defined as house for the
lodging and entertainment of travellers.
Livery one who IS received into an
Inn, and has entertainment there, for
which the innkeeper has remuneration
or reward for his service, is guest
The relation of host and guest exists.

FORBIDDEN THE PARK.
Fournier Gets Into More Trouble
With His Motor Cycle.


The mounted police of Golden Gate
Henri Fourier, the crack French cy-
clist, who came here recently to exhibit
his fearful gasoline tricycle..
Last Saturdays Call contained an ac-
count of how Fournier got into trouble
trying to take his internal machine across
on an Oakland ferry-boat By reason of
a rule forbidding the carrying of gasoline
or any other explosive inc or "ene" on
train or ferry, he could not get over the
bay.
Fournier has been in the habit of riding
his machine in the park since his arrival
a week ago, and now he is refused even
this pleasure The reason given is that
the constant "choo, choo, choo" emitted

horses
Another reason given is that he travels
too fast. With machine under him that

He has not been refused permission to
ride on the ocean beach drive, however,
but to get there he has to go over the

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from i'll
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accom- plished
by work and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless 1t is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. DR..

ONE WOMAN
CHASES OFF
A BURGLAR
Mrs. Gustav Wolf in a
Brave Role.

DISCOVERED HIM IN THE HOUSE
AT MIDNIGHT.

An attempt was made to rob the resi-
dence Of Gustav Wolf. of the firm of
Wolf, Wreden & Co., wholesale liquor
dealers, at 1928 Leavenworth street, early
yesterday morning, but it was frustrated
by the act Of Mrs. Wolf, who rushed after
the intruder and drove him to the street
He had secured two valuable watches and
diamond stud, but these he dropped In
his flight. a..
Wolf for some time has been out of the
city, and his wife has been alone, except
for Miss Ora Lambert, who remained with
her Sunday night About / O'Clock in the
morning the lady imagined she heard a
noise, and seeing the door which leads
TO her room open, became convinced tnat
some one was in the house. She waited
for moment and saw the burglar enter
and make his way to the center OF the
room. With a bound she was out of bed,
and he Immediately made for the door,
at the same time throwing the jewelry
he had taken back into the room. Down
the stairs both rushed, and when Mrs
Wolf reached the electric button she
pressed 1t and lighted the hall. Inc our-
glar was then but a foot or two In front
of her, but succeeded in making his es-
cape. A special policeman who was at the
corner of LeaVenworth and jackson
streets responded to the womans cries,
but could find no trace OF the man. A
search was made, and it is likely that he
passed UP an alleyway on the premises
and escaped into another street
Mrs. Wolf was totally unarmeo, ana
ed her in following the intruder, Had 1t
not been for her act, however, she might
have been minus the valuables ne mad In
his possession. The open door is evil
dence that he had already ransacked the
room and was making his second round
He had taken silyerware from the dining
room, but he had laid 1t down IN the hall
before entering the room. he admitted
himself to the house by picking the lock
on the front door.

ruary 49, There has been a case pending
in the same court against Piggott and
Carl Childs. O companion. for the past
four or five months. II was on the calen-
dar of the court last Saturday. and was
again continued for q week. No valid
reason can be given for the delay except
probably the fact that Piggott has too
strong a pull" He has been arrested
numerous times for picking pockets and
vagrancy. both here and in Oakland, but
always escaped punishment owing to his
pull" When an officer arrests him he
coolly tells him that he might as well save
himself the trouble. The police are thor
oughly disguised, and wonder why such
a notorious criminal should be in posi-
ton to defy the law. The present case
will be watched with interest.

Society met last evening in one of the
committee rooms of the Board of Edu-
cation to discuss amendments to the
teachers annuity bill pending In the
Legislature. The monthly dues-S1
for day school teachers and so cents
from those of the evening schools-are
not sufficient for the $50 per month
paid to the annuitants. So it was pro-
posed that teachers after ten years ser
vice shall pay into the fund 81 per
month and after twenty years SER
vice they must pay So per month
Another meeting OF the society will be
held next Wednesday Afternoon at
o'clock at the Girls High School.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-31

The changes that were made last
night were adopted impartially upon a
chronological basis. The teachers who
were last to be appointed were the first
to be transferred, degraded or dis
missed. In the report of the Superin-
tendent the date of each teachers APP
pointment is given as security to each
person interested that absolute impair
TALLY has been observed.
The revolution in the teaching corps
was not the only work undertaken last
night by the board. The petition of
the people of the Mission to secure the
retention of the commercial depart
ments of the Mission High School was
not received and the action of the Di-
rectors in abolishing those departments
stands undisturbed. The committee
on building and grounds submitted an
exhaustive report recommending the
immediate expenditure of over $77, ZOO
for repairs, the prospective eXpendt-
ture of $50, 900 more for improvements
in the near future and the suggested
expenditure by the city government of
over $500, 900 for permanent improve
ments.
The committee on finance, having
learned that Judge Seawell had modi-
fed his injunction against paying the
salaries of teachers, ordered that so
per cent of the teachers salaries for
January and so per cent of the mer-
chants demands for the same month be
paid.
The most important action of the
night was, as a matter of course, the
adoption of the report of Superintend-
ent Webster. which is given here:
Changes and Transfers.
The following changes in the schools
named have been made: The abbrevi-
ations used are R for regular teach
er, P for probationary, D S for day sub
stitute, substitute, P substitute pro-
stationary.

suits is the Kubanka wheat from the
Kuban territory, in the Volga region.
While this is a spring wheat in Russia,
it is believed it can be changed to a
winter wheat here. 1t is harder than
any of our wheats, and is the great
bread wheat of the Volga region. This
wheat needs a warm climate and is
expected to give good results in Texas,
oMan's-Land, western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. 1t does best in Rus
STA, where the annual rainfall is only
Is inches. In western Kansas the an
nual rainfall is is inches.
A variety called Polish wheat, which
was obtained, has the largest grain of
all wheat in the world, the average
length of the kernels being about five
sixteenths of an inch. Like the Ku-
banka, it is exceedingly hard, but is
not bread wheat. Its use is in pastry
and as macaroni wheat. The Polish
wheat needs a warm climate.
Several varieties of broom millet are
to come. These are for cold, dry eli
mates. They are grown in Russia for
the seeds principally and are used for
food in the way of soups and gruels.
1t is possible that we may thus add
something desirable to our dietary.
Two varieties of oats, the Swedish and
Tobolsk, are expected to be the thing
needful in the dry, cold regions of the
west. The government importation is
from this selected seed. The other va
riety is from Tobolsk, in the northern
part of Siberia, where it is dry and
cold.
The total importations amount to
about 80 varieties of cereals and for
age plants, besides vegetable seeds and
melons.

He had hardly got back to the vicarage

your hair?"
Certainly, my child" said the old gentle
man, fattered at the request. "I'll send it
to you tomorrow" And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
Eve more requests of the same kind, and
he S&Gudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad ~ see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't expect frst-class oats from
second-class seeds.
Keep the work on the farm we'll in
hand. Never let it get control of you.
Mix brains, common sense and muscle
in about equal parts and success is GER
tain.
Corn is good for night feed and for
sitting hens, as it maintains bodily
heat.
Good help on the farm is the cheapest,
upon the same principle that good
article is always the cheapest.
Smut increases from year to year if
the land on which it makes it appear
ance is used for the same crop.
Make your plans to include a good
large garden next year. There's money
in the garden and good health, too.
Resolve not to let cookie, thistles,
docks or any other specially-annoying
plant go to seed on your farm this sea-
son.
Debt makes the pillow harder to hold
and causes the victuals to be less palata-
BILE. Keep out of debt just as far as
possible.
Boiled potatoes and boiled peas,
mashed together, and fed with sour
milk, will put flesh on hogs faster than
corn, it is said.

some oats can nearly always be grown

them is, that they come in early

WHEAT FROM RUSSIA.
Brought Here by the Agricultural
Department for the Benefit of
American Farmers.

During the last year the United States
department of agriculture has had four
agricultural explorers at work in diff
ferent parts of the world, having in
view the introduction into the United
States of such seeds and plants as may
prove to be of economic value. Prof,
Mark A. Carleton has just returned from
Russia. He is confident that some of
the seeds he secured will prove of ben
eft. He mentions winter rye which
is grown at Ust-sisolsk, which is in
about 60 degrees north latitude. The
climatic conditions are similar to those
of Labrador. 1t is believed that this
rye will do well in Alaska.
