TEACHER'S COLD
PREVENTS TRIAL
Professor KnoWltOn I'm
able to Talk When
on the Stand.

Owing to a severe throat cold which is
affecting Professor Ebenezer Knowlton
the investigation of the charges of incom-
potency made against him by Albert Ly-
ser, principal Of the John SWEET Grammar
School, was abruptly terminated yester-
day. morning after being under way for
fifteen minutes. KnowltOns voice gave
out, and despite the ministration of lozen-
ges offered by School Director Mrs. Kin
caid and the expressed sympathy Of
friend and foe he could not make himself
heard without great effort.
School Director Denman was put upon
the stand when the session began, and
Attorney McPike opened the defense for
KnOwltOn by his examination of Denman.
The latter testified that he had lived in
San Francisco for fifty years and that for
the school department, during which time
he knew Professor Knowlton. Soon after
this McPike struck a snag.
What is your opinion of Professor
Knowlton as an educator?" asked Nc
Pike.
penman pondered over the question, I'm
ally resolving that ii was not a fair one,
as he was sitting as a judge during the
investigation. Director Casserly could see
no reason why the question should not be
answered, but Mrs. Kincaid did. She said
that while Professor KnoWlton might
have been very good teacher in his day
he might also be very inefficient at the
present time. Denman was not pressed
to answer.
The case will reopen on Thursday, when
it is expected that Judges Sloss and
Dunno, Albert Scott, Alfred Roncovieri
and Abe Ruef will testify in favor of
Knowlton testified as to the length of
time he has been a teacher. Then he was
seized by fit of whispers.

William O'Brien, driver of coal cart
was injured at the corner of Main and

drove over him and his ankle was
crushed. He was treated at the Harbor

STORM ON COAST PASSES.
Belated Vessels Now Have Chance t,
Reach Port.

Captains of steamships now arriving
say the storm off the Oregon coast has
passed Captain Hall of the collier Edith
and Captain Seaman of the Czarina both
say they had a most enjoyable trip from
the Sound. On no occasion were the yes
sells in danger, and the seas off Flattery
and the Columbia River were no more
heavy than usual. Captain Hall said:
I don't think there is any doubt that the
Matteawan and all hands are gone. One of her
boats, some Of her fire buckets and the medi-
cine chest were washed ashore. 1 investigated
the matter and know what l am talking about
The wreckage was most assuredly the
Matteawan and l think she went ashore and
did not go down. All coliers carry 200 tons
less in winter than they do in summer. This
does not seem very much to Iandsman, but it
gives the vessel eight inches more freeboard
and every sailor knows what that means
Now the Matteawan eight inches more
out Of the water when she struck the gale than
when she left the Sound last November. There
fore / think she was perfectly seaworthy. Some
thing must have happened to her steering gear
and she was driven ashore. Had she gone down
there would never have been anything heard

~ HE mascot Of the Fish Commis-
sioners' steamer Albatross is dead.
III Jerry was known from one end

6FHE mascot of the Fish Commits
sioners' steamer Albatross is dead.
Jerry was known from one end
IN of the Alaskan coast to the other,
and many choice piece of salmon
did he eat in his day. For seventeen
years the cat was the favorite of the
crew, and when he died of old age Mon
day the men decided to bury him among
the sailors of the fleet.
Yesterday the crew, to the number of
twenty-eight, received leave of absence,
and at once went ashore and secured a
brass band Then they went back to the
ship and asked for the use of the long
boat. The body of Jerry" suitably
draped and in a regulation shaped coffin,
was passed down, and there was not a
Jack in the boat who did not drop a
tear over the coffin.
When the shore was reached the crowd
dsembarked and the cortege headed for
march from Saul" and when the sailors
grave was reached the boatswain pro-
nounced eulogy over the cat and the in
terment was over.
OF all the cats that ever served under
Uncle Sans flag Jerry was perhaps the
most famous. Once his dismal catcalis
drew attention to the fact that the ship
was in danger. A hail to the lOOkOu.
showed that an iceberg was on the port
quarter. During a southeaster a sailor
fell overheard and the cat by it's frantic
actions drew the attentlon or the o1ncer
on duty and a life buoy was thrown
which proved the salvation of the jack
tar
Whenever there was festal occasion,
either ashore or afloat, Jerry was al,
ways there, and whether in the officers
mess or in the sailors quarters he was
equally at home. His death came as a
surprise, as Sunday last he was in good
health, but old age was telling on him.
Monday Jerry. was taken sick, and in
spite of the skill of veterinary he died.
Over his grave the AlbatroSs men have
placed tablet on which is inscribed:
JERRY
Who is Reincarnated.
An Humble Friend and Wise Counselor,
Who Never FOrsook a Friend Nor
Mistook an Enemy.
