Favorable reports Of the condition of
the real estate market also come from
San Leandro and Haywards. A. Whelton
Of San Leandro said to-day:
1.-THE market Is at present well sus-
tanned and there is a large demand for
tracts of about five acres in size. Several
large tracts of land have recently been
opened for settlement and as a result
building operations are very active.
Taken as whole, the condition of the
market is more satisfactory than it has
been for many years, and San Leandro
should enjoy great prosperity during the
coming two years"
HAYwARDS MARKET GOOD.
s. D. Warren & Co. of Haywards re-
port the market in better condition than
ever before. with a steadily increasing
demand for all kinds OF property Prices
are advancing, and about the only trou-
Bile at present is that the supply does not
meet the demand.
& p. Wilbert of Haywards says that the
year so far has been the best In the his
tory OF the town. He reports that it is
expected that the Meek tract OF 1900 acres
will soon be subdivided into tracts of
from ten to twenty acres each, which
will be at once placed upon the market

no other nation has had so much to contrib
ute no other country has contributed so much
as the Germany represented by Schiller. The
american movement Of action has been sup
plemented most helpfully by the German
movement of thought.
Professor Albin Putzker delivered the
principal address of the day, speaking
in German, his subject being, Schiller
as Teacher Of Humanity" He said
PROFESSOR PUTzKER's ADDRESS.
This celebration is meant for q man
whose personal life was in purest har-
mony with his poetic aims. He taught
what he lived and he lived what he
taught. consequently his writings were
free from the impure and questionable.
Innocence need not blush while reading
and meditating his works. 1t may be said
that secular history never before has
witnessed a celebration so universal a
celebration borne on by such peculiar
love and devotion.
I'm Germany in a number of cities
monuments are being erected. Living me-
MORALS are planned everywhere; endow-
anents in his honor are being established;
numerous works dealing with our poet
are published. and grand pageants and
representations have taken place. At the
sepulcher of Schiller at Weimar the
whole student body of Germany proposed
to pay homage to this great man.
IN Switzerland every child received

ton of the play, William Tell In Scot
land and at various universities in our
own country worthy memorials have
taken place.. and here upon the most
westerly shore of the United States cele-
brations have been held In all the larger
cities. In San Francisco, which by virtue
of it's prominence deserves to take the
lead, q dignifed preliminary celebration
took place on the 7th inst. in front of
the Goethe-Schiller monument in the
park. A second memorial was held on
the 9Th of May at the Alhambra Theater.
'As teacher of humanity we propose
to consider him, and this is appropriate
in this spot consecrated to the highest
learning in the land where his works
have furnished for years rich nourish-
ment for the youth of our State and
where his name ought to be cherished
more than anywhere else in the coun-
try What can we learn by conscientious
application to the life and works Of
Schiller? How can one be raised up by
making his thought ones own? Not one
of us could become a Schiller, for we
lack his genius, but every one of us can
at least cherish the desire to come near

BOAT ON WHEELS WRECKED.
Anton Schmidt's Queer Land-and-
Water Craft Meets It's Finish.

A dispatch from Harrison, N. j., last
night says: The land-and-water craft which
has been building for six years on the Har
rison side OF the Passaic river lies under
tent in Kemper's Park, South 14th street,
a complete wreck.
Anton Schmidt, a jeweler. who invented
1t, Is undismayed. He says he will per-
severe until he has a conveyance which
will serve equally we'll at sea or ashore.
The invention was an odd-looking affair
really boat on wheels. The wheels were
to carry the affair on land. while paddles
attached to the spokeS which might be
opened at Will, were to propel 1t in the
water.
The first test was held in a shallow cove
in the Passaic, at the foot of Chester ave-
nue.. last Monday Power was furnished
by a nan-turned crank shaft. This.
placed by engine.
The craft weighed 1000 pounds. was
about fifteen feet long, and had about four
feet breadth of beam. At the trial trip 1t
drew only about ten inches of water and
responded readily to the efforts of the man
at the crank, moving both backward and
forward.
1t seemed. however, to be topheavy, and
looked as If 1t might turn turtle at any
moment Schmidt decided to take 1t to
Kemper's Park to make some alterations.
On Friday he had team of horses hitched
to the steering wheel and rod in the bow
and tried to pull it ashore 1t could not
stand the strain.
Another hitch was made and the craft
was got out of the water. When an at
tempt was made to turn it from an In
clined track, which extends into the river,
the wheels caught in the rails and were
pulled of. The craft was almost totally
destroyed before the horses could be
stopped

NEARLY BROKE JAIL.
81 Prisoners Kept From Escaping
From the Fort Hamilton Prison.

A dispatch from New York says: While
Lieut.. Mitchell of the Fort Hamilton reser-
walton at Bay Ridge was passing along the
prison wall facing on the bay Saturday
evening the sunset gun was fired.
Immediately, and as IL by magic, several
bricks fell out of the prison wall. Lieut.
Mitchell stopped. amazed. and. looking
through the hole left In the wall. discovered
that he had an unobstructeds view of the
prison inside.
The lieutenant went to Col. George c.
Greenoush. in command Of the fort, and
reported the matter. An investigation fol-
lowed which showed that daring at
tempt had been made by twenty-one pris-
oners to escape.
The prisoners were taken to the prison at
Fort Hamilton two weeks ago from Castle
William, Governors Island. to complete
sentence OF two years. 1t is understood
that prior to their entry to the Fort Ham
ilton prison the whole plan OF escape was
arranged.

had been used to pry away the bricks.
The absence Of debris Of any kind within
the prison at first mystified the officials. but
later they decided that accomplices inside
the prison had taken the pried-out bricks
away.
When the plot to escape was discovered
by Lieut.. Mitchell, only one layer of bricks
remained to be taken out. and these, 1t Is
said could have been disturbed by blow
of the fist.
1t is believed at the fort that the escape
was planned for tonight, at least at
very early date. Some of the prisoners
were desnerate characters.

the vicious reading habit. 1t DIVORCES more

BY desu;tory habits of reading and lack
Of system you confuse the mind with a
large mass Of unclassified material. You
pick UP q book and read few pages, and
then pick UP another one. and then go from
that to paper or magazine. This puts the
mind In q chaotic state. because you let
everything run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans. Sys-
temless reading Is proftless. You cannot
gain knowledge of a friend or prize his
friendship by hasty first Impression, so
in reading a book you cannot gain ever
lasting good by Swimming over its con-
tents or by reading a few pages one night
and then putting 1t on shelf to gather
dust until you get time to read it again.
Everything comes out OF the mind as 1t
went in. and II 1t does not enter in an or

Recent research has developed that

which was sent to General Washington
with compliments, this act being the first
one of which such close personal reIa-
tionship was permitted between the monar-

next act of this kind was during the time of

How to Detect Arsenic.
From the London Globe

one OF the familiar tests by which a
chemist recognizes the presence of arsenic
Is the odor of garlic given of when one of
It's compounds Is heated in the bloypipe
name. The same smell of garlic is produced
when certain fungi grow on substances con-
tanning arsenic And 1T is Interesting to
note that one species OF fungus Is found to
accomplish this feat of chemical ANALYSIS
more effectively when 1t is grown in con-
nection with yellow algal celIs-in other
words, when it forms the plant association
known as ichen. The above method of de-
tecting arsenic seems specially apnlicahle 70
cases OF poisoning where the substance ia
mixed with organic matter which would
form suitable medium for the culture of
the fungus.
