CAUSES SORROW
Killing of Schultze by Gus

eral Indignation in City
SLAYER'S BAD RECORD
Accused of Running Home of
Man Who Befriended Him
and of Raiding Stock Pens

The home Of the late Rudolph w
Schultze, murdered by Gustav Scherf,
is a house of sorrows.
Along the'bay shore in the little cot
tage by the shipyard the young widow
means and wonders why it was. She
has not even the poor clay of the fallen
protector to hold in the desolation of
her home. That is at the Morgue
awaiting inquiry as to why it lies on a
slab. The dead mans aged mother
and two little children are with the
mourning widow and they moan and
wonder why.
Up on the crest of Bernal Heights,
where the drearv winds from over the
sea are always blowing. another wom-
an moans-for but yesterday Scherf.
the fiend, was a babe in her arms.
The killing Of Schultze has created
unusual excitement throughout the city
and everywhere people are character
izing the act as wanton and sense
less murder. Schultze was we'll known
by the business men of the city, espe-
pecially on the water front, and his
standing among them was of the high
est. There is one hope in connection
with the crime and that is that the
murderer may receive without delay his
just deserts.
Around his old haunts in Butcher
town Scherf bears an unsavory reputa-
ton. Cattle and sheep often have dis
appeared from their corrals in the
night and stockmen often have ac-
cused Scherf. He is believed to have
been with Walter Ayhens. who, with
his brother. slaughtered two yearlings
in the yard of James McDermott.
wholesale butcher, July II, and is now
in the County Jail awaiting trial.
South San Franciscans say Scherf
was always too handy with a pistol
and was never very far away from
one, and that he tried hard to kill
George Cavanaugh year ago. but his
aim was bad and his plea of being
drunk was good.
Scherf was the central figure of an
investigation into the Encouragement
and dishonesty of the city pound last
January. and though it was proved he
had taken part in a scheme to defraud
the city, he was not prosecuted. How
ever, he soon left the pound. but was
re-employed by Irwin, the keeper.

Oranges Plentiful.
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
In 1890, only thirteen years ago. Florida
and California together produced 1896, 600
boxes of oranges. That year about a mil
lion boxes were imported from the Mediter-
ranean. This season Florida has partly re-
covered from the great havoc wrought by
a few days of extraordinary cold several
years ago, and that state is expected to
market LOCO, 600 boxes of oranges before the
end of the season. Meanwhile California
has raced ahead In the cultivation of cit
rous fruits and the orange crop of that
great commonwealth this year is caIcu-
lated at no less than 100000 boxes. 1t
may reach II, 100000. Without counting the
small importations which may be expected
next summer the supply of oranges for
1904 is likely to reach 12,OO0O0O boxes 1t
will be seen that the total quantity mar
keted in the United States will be more than
twice as great as 1t was thirteen years ago.
In that time the population of the country
has increased not more than 80 per cent,
at an extreme calculation. 1t follows that
the consumption of oranges has altogether
outstripped the gain in the number of in
habitants. There are about 80 per cent
more oranges this year. in proportion to
the population, than were used. dozen
years ago. Such changes mean much In
the way Of wider national prosperity.

NO DANGER OF FLOOD.
Harbormaster Believes Ice Will Cause
No Trouble Here.

AS yet there is no very decided softening
of the ice in the river, either above or be-
low the Long bridge. The warm weather
and the rains and fog of the past forty
eight hours have melted 1t somewhat on
the surface, for about two inches, but be-
low this it is said to be hard and firm.
Harbormaster Sutton states that there is
yet no danger of an ice gorge above the
Long bridge or of the flooding of the city
by the backing up of the water behind an
ice dam. He believes if the present warm
spell continues the ice will go away grad
ually, but on the first appearance of dan
ger from a sudden breaking up of the Ice
he will start his fleet of tugs to work
opening the channels and crushing the ice
above the bridge to prevent a gorge. The
great danger now would be from a freshet
from the upper Potomac. but of that there
seems to be no indication.
The tugs Minerva Mohler, Edith G. Win
ship, James o. Carter and Rosale it is
stated, can be made ready for service in
short time at the call of Commodore SUIT.
ready for service at all times. These tugs
are armed with ice plows and could soon
break the ice.
Below this city the ice is melting slowly.
The officers of the Norfolk and Washing
ton line steamer which arrived here this
morning report no ice to give them trou

than an hour late.
- The little steamer EStelle Randall left
here this morning to go to Fort Wash
ington and Fort Hunt with freight that
had been accommodating since Monday. A
message received at the Office of the Ran
dali line about II: 80 m. from Fort Wash
ington stated the steamer had reached
there without much trouble, except In go
ing into the wharves, where the ice was
found to be very hard.

forty-eight hours longer will, 1t is be-
lieved, cause the greater part of the ice
to disappear, and a resumption of general
traffic on the river is looked for early next
week.

Are Professional Eaters.

From the HYGIENE Gazette.
One of the most striking customs of the
past that are preserved by the Indians of
today is found among the tribes on the
DEVILS lake reservation in North Dakota.
Supervisor Wright of the Indian service
gives the following account of this peculiar
pr actice: From time immemorial the
Devils lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom in regard to the treatment of a
guest. According to their etiquette 1t is
the bounden duty Of the host to supply his
guest with all the food he may desire, and.
as rule. the apportionment set before the
visiting Indian is much in excess of the
capacity of a single man. But by the same
custom the guest is obliged to eat all that
is placed before him, else he grossly insults
his entertainer. 1t found that this
practice would work a hardship, but in
stead of dispensing with the custom the
Indian method of reasoning was applied,
and what is known as the professional
eater was brought to the front While the
guest is supposed to eat all that is placed
before him, it serves the same purpose II
his neighbor assists in devouring the boun-
tiful repast, the main object being to have
the plate clean when the meal is finished
1t is not always practicable to depend upon
neighbor at table to assist in getting
away with a large dinner and in order to
insure the final consumption of the allotted
portion visiting Indians call upon these
professional eaters, whose duty is to sit
beside them through a meal, and eat what
the guest leaves. The professional eaters
are never looked upon In the light of guests
but more travelling companions with n
particular duty to perform. These eaters
receive from one dollar to two dollars, and
even three dollars, for each meal where
they assist 1t is stated by the agent at the
Devils lake reservation that one of the
professional eaters has been known to dis
pose of seventeen pounds of beef at a sit
ting That they are capable of eating an
almost fabulous amount 1 myself can
testffy"

Pope's Sleeping Car.

From Home Notes.
The pope owns a sleeping car. 1t was
constructed in 1868. when the line from
Rome to Naples was opened, and will be
shown at the Milan exhibition in 1905 to
inaugurate the Simplon tunnel. The car
consists of three compartments throne
room, compartment for the guard of
honor and bed room The throne room
is richly furnished and has a cupola en-
graved with the papal arms and the
twelve apostles. 1t is SO arranged that
the pope, when seated on his throne, can
be plainly seen by the crowds who might
be expected to throng the stations for
his blessing. AS a matter of fact
the crowds do not assemble around
the papal car, for 1t is never used
Whether Pope Plus X will make use of it
remains to be seen, out Leo XIII kept up
the tradition that the bishop of Rome
was a prisoner in the Vatican and never
left it, though he was really as free to go
wherever he would as the most humble
priest in the kingdom of Italy.

its place, and all sorts of things pre-
sented as substitutes. Think of pc
