Special Dispatch to The Call.

UKIAH, Sept. 26.-When Miss Ef1e
Case and Miss Wagner, members of the
Epworth League, which gave an enter
tainment at the Methodist Church South
last evening, entered the edihce this
morning they found it on fire. A small
portion of the league headquarters had
been destroyed. The pastor, the Rev. DR..
Wagner, was summoned, and, with the
assistance of the young ladies, he sue
ceeded in preventing further spread Of
the flames.
This afternoon Don Dillham, Harman
Biggs and VIII Hope confessed to having
started the fire. Their ages range from
Is to 10 years. They stated that they had
entered the church before the guests had
arrived and had taken two cakes and
some icecream. After the guests had left
the boys again entered the church by a
side window, carrying lighted candles.
In going past a bookcase one of them
struck against it and a roll of cotton, be-
longing to the Quilting Society, fell and
caught fire from the candle. The boys
stamped it out and proceeded to appro-
pirate the remainder of the icecream and
cake. The cotton, however, was rolled up
and was burning inside. From this the
floor caught fire and was gaining good
headway when discovered.

commenced July 8, Charles Alsup of San
Francisco having the contract In round
numbers the building has cost about
$4,000.
It is situated near the former site Of
the Stonernan House and within 200 feet
of the tents OF Camp Curry. It is back
from the road a little distance, clustered
amid boughs Of cedar, oak and pines. A
grove of beautiful azalias is near by and
Immediately above it are the heights of
Glacier Point. Were the famous over
hanging rock to fall It's debris would drop
almost upon the roof Of the building. 1t

The main building is 2Sx3S feet with
two wings, the latter being Sx12 feet. One
of the wings will be used for an Office
and the other for storeroom. The apex
of the roof and ceiling is thirty eight feet
above the floor. The roof has a pitch of
60 degrees, an ordinary roof having but
45. The stone work Is Of random rubble;
in other words, granite rocks as found In
a natural state. The architecture sug-

DEATH SETS A SEAL
UPON THE MYSTERY
Los Angeles Baker Who Was Shot
by an Unknown Assassin
dies

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-Coroner Trot
was notified to-day that Solomon Traut-
vein, foreman of Walkers bakery, who
was shot by an unknown man September
II, died during the night at the Los An
geles Hospital The remains were re-
moved to Trautweins home before notifi-
cation Of his death was given. An au-
topsy has been ordered.
Trautwein died from the effects of two
bullet wounds and the identity Of his as
sailant has remained in mystery. Several
weeks before the affray which resulted in
his death there was a free fight at the
bakery growing out Of trouble among the
employees. At the time Of the shooting
Trautwein made a statement accusing
Edward Wilhelm, another baker, of the
crime, but he later modified his accusa-
ton and Wilhelm was finally released for
lack Of evidence. There is no clew to
the mans murderer.

The Sting Has Been Taken Out of the
Appellation Yankee.'
When you come to think of it, there
is no special reason, no good reason at
should feel offended when referred to as
a Yankee" said H. j. Wheelock, of New
Orleans, at the New Willard, land yet it
is rather curious fact that men and
do not like the word when it is applied
to them. Probably the time was when
the use of the word Yankee in the
South was meant to carry sting with
it,ysn A Yankee trick for instance, and
Yankee shrewdness, meant something
not exactly agreeable just after the war.
But all that is changed now. / was
thinking more particularly of the etyr1olo-
over the pages of Skeats the other day,
when 4 came upon the word. Yankee
was defined as citizen of New

The term was used in Boston as early
as 1765. DR.. William Gordon says it was
favorite cant word in Cambridge,
Mass, as early as 1713, and that it
meant excellent, as Yankee good
horse. 1t is suggested too, that the
word probably spread through New Eng
land as the result Of its use by the stu
dents at Cambridge. 1t has gradually be-
come of the common speech Of the coun-
try. 1t seems to be related to 'Yankie,
meaning sharp, clever. forward woman,
ana TO yanker, Which means an agile
girl an incessant talker, a smart stroke.
We also have a hint of the word in
'yank, a Jerk, to jerk. a smart blow. So
'yanky' means quick, spry. 'Yank' is from
the, Scandinavian 'yack.' to talk fast,
yalke,' blow
But the point I had in mind was that
there is nothing offensive about the
word In its use now. Europeans speak
Of the American citizen, no matter what
section of the United States he halls
from, as Yankee, and they talk about
Yankee shrewdness making serious in
roads On the trading rights of foreign
countries. Yankee is a good word, and

made the work of development slow.

poorly and leaked SO much in stress of

The Relance's beam on deck is but
slightly in excess of her water line

sides of the Shamrock III.
Lines Are Admirable.
The narrowing of the beam on deck
serves two excellent purposes: First,
there is less bulk of hull anidship,
which allows the boat to settle more,
thus using greater length of over
hang when kee1ed; second, the smaller
the deck beam is the smaller must be

more easily driven the hull.

In the Reliance's wonderful per-

to her type was inevitable; and, much
as we may deplore the passing of the
sharp hull and the coming of the scow,
we cannot but admire the boldness and

The remarkable speed of the Reli-
ance in light winds is her greatest tr1-
umph. 1t is under these conditions
that scows are usually at their worst,
and for this reason it was supposed
that the Reliance, while she might SAIL
very fast in perfectly smooth water
and light winds, would be stopped by
her full bow in conditions like those
off Sandy Hook, where there is usually
a ground swell and accompanying hght

conditions the Reliance has decisively
beaten the older boats proves that
remarkable combination of opposing
elements in design has been achieved.

Came From Allegheny City.
Early in theayear 1891 he was an in
mate of the Allegheny hospital, Allie
gheny City, across from Pittsburg. He
had been there for some time-a wait,
a hopeless case. But now the trustees,
not knowing what to do with him, ap-
pealed to DR.. Alexander Graham Bell,
himself friend and instructor of deaf
mutes, for some suggestion as to the
disposal of the boy. DR.. Bell suggested
that he be sent to the South Boston in
stitution.
1t was not that the trustees of the
hospital were unwilling to do some
thing; it was that they were incapable,

when Tommy came to US" says Mr..
Anagnos, "he was nothing but human
puppy. He was not even on the lowest
round OF the ladder OF human intelli-
gence. He was entirely cut off from
his environment and deprived of all
means of communication with those
around him. But that was not all. Be
sides, he was obtuse and apathetic,
stolid, inert, utterly unconcerned about
the world outside and utterly uncon-
scious of his own deprivation
Such was the physical and mental
condition of the unfortunate boy when
a kind nurse brought him from the
hospital in Allegheny to South Boston,
wrapped in a loose garment, and sup
piled with few additional articles of
clothing. He reached the Perkins in
stitution early in the morning, and no
sooner was he seated on sofa in the
reception room, close to his compan-
ion, than he went to sleep, Owing to
the fact that the nurse who attended
him while he was staying in the hos
pital was on duty during the
night, the order of his peri
DDS of wakefulness and repose
was necessarily reversed, and as it had
become a regular habit with him to
sleep in the daytime from dawn to
dusk, all efforts to arouse him before
the evening proved unsuccessful. 1t
was impossible to stir him.

straighten the stream lines which flow
about her The bilges, unlike the easy
sweep of the Shamrock III. IS, turn with
a quick curve well below the water
line, so that at moderate angle OF
heel great volume of the submerged
hull is lifted to windward, which must
be balanced by an increased submerg-
ing of the overhangS fore and aft.
The Reliances keel; while 1t is a fin,
in the sense of being thin and deep, is
still so beautifully formed where it
joins the hull that it grows out of it,
as it were, making it hard to draw a
definite line dividing the fin from the
hull proper. This form allows an ex-
cellent construction, as the frames can
go down to the lead keel, and thus
transmit the strain due to the weight
of the latter to the body of the boat,
and distribute such strain over the
whole hull structure.
Big Improvement Shown.
In the first fin keel scows the hull
was always built separately from the
fin, both being firmly bolted together
The new construction, on the other
hand, allows great saving of weight
in the structure itself, and at the same
time by having the shell plating sweep
around the corner from LIE III ~ INC
bottom of the vessel, the wetted sur
face is reduced, which is a great help
in light winds. Also the rigidity of the
whole structure, due to this form, in
creases the speed in strong breezes, by
holding the lead keel well UP to the
windward, thereby overcoming fault
of the early fin keels, which, being
built of thin, flexible plates, often bent
enough to seriously handicap the boat
in going to windward in strong breezes.'

tenders has been steadily cut down in
