turns nearly due east and begins the
long ascent Of one of the steepest
places on this part of the road. The
great engine pulled and pulled, and ev-
cry coupler and pin told of the sagging
strain of the heavy train composed
mainly of Pullman coaches. Slower
and slower became the speed until at
length the head of the grade was
reached, the track for n mile being

At this instant man, all dusty and

PUSHED A HISTORIC CLAIM.
Judge Jaggard's Recent Errand to
the National Capital.


Judge Jaggard returned yesterday from
Washington, where he went in the inter-
ests of Mrs. John c. Fremont, who has

Gen. John c. Fremont. which was seized

scented the case both to the senate and
house committees on claims.
In 1852 Gen. Fremont bought the prop
erty known as Black Point, now In the
heart of the city Of San Francisco. He
paid for the property 100000 In gold and
then spent 100000 in improvements.
During the latter part of the Civil
war Black Point was taken by the gov
eminent by force Of arms for the pro-
lection of San Francisco against rr-

Probate Court Considers Petition

The probate court yesterday considered
a petition for the commitment of jose

lived with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bernard Johnson, at 655 Mississippi street.
Last Friday the Johnsons were SEN

lille to show cause why Josephine should
not be committed to the state institution.

made the arrest, told the court
that the Johnson home had been

drinking bouts at which the little girl
was compelled to be present officer
Larson had been called to the place by
the cries Of the child, and found the
parents in drunken stupor.
In the judges private Office, little jose
phine told the court that on the night
the arrest was made, while her parents
were helpless, she had been assaulted by
two men, whose names she did not know
and who had been drinking in the place.
The court decided to await the release
of the father and mother from the work.

CHARITY's SWEAT BOX.
SO Is Termed the Inquisition of APP
plicants for Aid.

plicants for Aid.
"Charity's sweat boxes were strongly
denounced last evening by Rev David
Morgan in his paper entitled, Effect
Upon the Recipient of Charitable and I'm
charitable Giving" read before a meeting
of the Associated Charities at the Aber-
deem. By sweat boxes Mr.. Morgan re-
ferred to the questions it is customary TO
put to the poor by the various charitable
organizations.
The poor were repealed by the questions
and hardened by the answers they are
compelled to give before they can get the
relief. Another practice of organized
charity denounced by Mr.. Morgan was
the fact that when woman, a widow, or
deserted by her husband, applied for aid,
it is refused her unless she part with her
children. Generally she refuses to do this
at first, but privation drives her later to
consent and courage to work is taken
from her at this separation from the
only ones she has to care for. The speak
er claimed that organized charity often
came between husband and wife. If the
former was shiftless or for some reason
cut of work, the wife was urged to get rid
Of him, with evil results for both husband
and wife. The paper was plea for less
organization, more love, Mr.. Morgan
holding that unless the charity bearer
really understood their conditions and
sympath ized with the poor he could ac-
complish no good by giving.
Rev. Ambrose McNulty spoke briefly on
1.-THE Effect upon the Giver."
Following the two papers short ad-
dresses were made by Mrs. Higbee, who
emphasized the necessity Of giving per-
sonal friendship to the poor; by the Rev.
F. B. Cowgirl, who spoke on What the
Motive of the Charity Giver Should Be-
