I YOUR OWN SAN FRANCISCO BOYS,
I 9, 11, 13 1 15 Kearny Street.
I Frisco's Largest and Handsomest Establishment,
Occupying Two Entire Buildings of Eight Floors.
CO-OPERATIVE HOMES.
Mr. Stead's Idea of Uniting the
Abodes of Spinst?rs and Bachelors.
New Vorx Sun.
The creation of co-operative homes for
bachelors and co-operative homes for
spinsters in London has been followed by
such brisk demand for the advantages
these establishment* offer that their suc
cess is assured. And now Mr. Stead, with
his habitual courts?, coin's forward with
the original idea that the bachelors ami
spinsters should combine their house
keeping arrangements. Instead of the
modem monasteries and nunneries, such ns
Tuyubee Hall and Chimes-street Cham
bers, or in addition to them. Mr. Stead
recommends homes where families of
you Hi! persons of both sexes misfit live to
gether always, with an experienced lady
housekeeper at th« head, or perhaps "a
married couple « lib not mure than one or
two children. There nhonld be common
dining and drawing rooms, bin each ten
ant »hould have his or her private room or
rooms. And he adds that Mrs. (irundy
would have no name reason to be shocked
nt his "Cc-nperativo Humes for th« Un
married" than she now has at the ordinary
boarding-house — which Is true enough.
The idea is that unmarried professional
men and women see too little of ««eli oilier
in the relations of ordinary friendly inter
course. Tile boys arc sent tonne school,
the girls to another; the literary men hav<s
their Author?.' Club, the wnmi>n th<»ir
Writers' Club; amen? the artisti the men
have their societies; the Englishwomen
artists have Done us yet. Men are the heirs
to the ideas of all the ages in most profes
sion*, while .socially men are mure advan
tageously placed than women. It is not
a caravansary, but rather, n community
which Mr. Stead recommend*. The diffi
culty will be in the selection r 'f group*
whose tastes are: congenial among the
thousand* of . unniated persons of, both
sexr< who live in boarding-houses. For
thouch Mr. Stuad says that "the most as:
gravating of human beings is less awful
linn solitude," few people will agree with
him who have endured . tie enforced com
• tafonsbip of an uncongenial soul,

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1893.
GIRL GRADUATES.
Large Gathering at Cogs=
well College.
AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMME.
Declaration That the School Hust
Not Be Closed L'p Greeted With
the Wildest Enthusiasm.
"We don't want the school closed tip nor
do we want the trust broken." Such was
t!i'! declaration made amid the wild st
enthusiasm by James G. Kennedy last
night at the commencement exercises of
the Cogswell Polytechnic College.
The hall where the commencement exer
cises were held was crowded in every part
by a brilliant audience (if ladies and gen
ilenen, and many were unable to obtain
seats.
On the stage were seated the graduating
class if '93. the young ladies being all
charmingly attired in white. They were
as handsome a cla c s of maidens as eon
!e seen anywhere on this broad continent.
The proceedings were marked by the
Greatest enthusiasm, anil the references
locking toward the continuance of the col
lege were cheered to the echo.
Principal Merrill had askfd the, trustees
to he present ami the chairman to preside,
but they refused, advising him togo and gel
his friends. I'll • principal did get his
friends, and the happy results <>f the
cat 1 eriuK justified his selection. Frank
Dal ton, one of the members of the board
when tin college was transferred to the
city, presided, and the honor of present
ing the diplomas fell 10 the lot of James
I G. Kennedy, the first president of the col
! led 1 .
i'lie programme opened with nn invoca
tion by Rev. Leslie W. Spragur, followed
hv an t!<lmir:<bli> ess»v ou "Intellectual
Pleasures" by Miss Effi<- E. Smith. A
pi.mo solo by Albert Klelnhaus was
erected with applause, anil then Julius A.
Landsbereer read a carefully prepared
e«sav on "Shall I Go In College?" A gone,
"Ilieh School March." by me class was
well rendered.
MaredcD Mansnn delivered an excellent
a.idr.'ss on the field of to-day for the skilled
worker In California, pointing out th**
many opportunities in mining, agriculture
and native food products, lie said:
"When we come to the particular branch
which it is the grand duty of th« college
tn teach, th<« field broadens to a decree
; that is beyond the resell of the must vivid
imagination. On every hand the needs of
this great S'ateare calling for the skilled
worker in iron, wo >d or stone t<> develop
the great industries." The conclusion of
the address w-is marked by loud applause.
.Mi*s Neva E. Pedlar delivered a recita
tion, selection from Binaventure, with
dramatic force, and Miss Florence E:n«r
son delivered the valedictory. It was full
of imagery, and was an able and sustained
production. Her diction and pronuncia
tion were perfect and charming, and her
effort called forth immense applause.
Principal Merrill announced that, the
audience would have nn opportunity be
fore leaving ot seeing specimens of carpen
. try. modeling and designing by the stud en t.i
| and homing the Intel ligei c<- of the ; wcijt.v
six young, ladies and hi teen young men
who represented the finished portion of
this vent's product.
"1 he school tins established," ho said,
"not merely to enable the students to make
I n rabinit or other article in wood or iron,
but it was estaDlifhed to convert, boys and
eiris into men and women. That state
ment Implies that the class now before
is finished. They are worthy of gradna
| 'ion from this school. add I have n»ked Mr.
Kennedy to present them . with their
(tiiilomae." [Applause.]
Mr. Kennedy stepped tn the front amid
great applause. ''I take it," he said, "that
you are. all friends of the school, and,
therefore, there are a few things 1 would
like to say to you,
"A school like thi* is just what is
np"d(-d at this time in the world's history,
when boys and girls have to en out ami
Uu;mle "fur an existence. [Applause.] In
the days of ancient Greece an-: Rome the
boys weie taught, the arts ol war, but tin
is ilie industrial age, and here »n ;ir«- send
in? out an atuiy of boys and girls to con
quer the indu.-triitl problems of the day.
This school whs established for that pur
uoso anil to grapple with these questions.
"We don't want this school closed up,
nor rio we want me trust broken. [Tre
mendous cheering.] Nor are we to have it
closed up or the 1 1 list broken. [Renewed
cheer It may ba closed for a day or
two, but just so suro as I stand on this
platform so sure am I that it will be re
lieved lrom its troubles and stand here as
a monument to Dr. Cogswell and his wife
lone after you and I art- under tiie sod.
"Everything about this school when it
was established was above board, aid
when any person says it was not 1 say
they state what Is not true. If any one
i goes on th« witness-stand and swears to
the contrary he will perjure himself and
swear what is false.
"1 planned this school and have seen it
crow from thn time tr.e first brick was
laid, and I am, therefore, in a position to
speak of facts. On March 1, 1887, I was
1 introduced to Dr. Cosswell, and he then
told ill'- he had a million dollars which he
desired to devote to some worthy purpose.
I presented to him the scheme of a poly
technic college, and ho saw its practicabil
-1 ity and endowed it with a million dollars
realty. A trust was formed and both Dr.
CocsweU and his wife made the deed abso
lute. Therefore, the trust can only be
broken by fraud or by eallnMon "f the
trustees nnd l!><» courts. [Applause.]
"1 prophesy tint the ground, aijuinin*
the echoed will yet be covered with work
shops, and that it will in time be the gtand
est Institution in California.
"Dr. CoßSwell is now ar, old gentleman
in feeble health. II« Ims lost thai execu
tiVH force which characterized him in his
earlier days. His heart is ri^iit and I have
nothing but sympathy for him, as he, has
eot himself into the hands of those who
have more thought of Baking money than
Keeping up an institution which is a credit
to the ••otintry." [Great applause.]
Mr. Kennedy then presented the diplo
mas, each graduate being Greeted with
! round* of applause.
iSWdrn: Sturges rose in the body of the
hall and in an able and Complimentary
speech proposed a vote, of thanks to the.
two last president?, Mr. Kennedy and
Ei>ha Brook*, and pHrticularly in llm
present president, Mr. Merrill, who*, he
said, although a young man, had ably and
faithfully fulfilled tin* trim: reposed in
him. He added that Mr. -Merrill bad the
support o! the community in the ability
and manliness he had displayed and hoped
he would be retained at the hend of the
school, which would meet with the appro
bation of nil. [Applause.]
Silas A. White heartily indorsed the re
marks of Mr. stnrges and seconded the
motion, which was put and carried amid a
volley of "ayes."
Mr. Merrill briefly thanked the audience,
and the i roceedings terminated.
The aiumui afterward snt down to a
banquet, about eighty, being ; present, and
various -"needles enlivened the occasion.
H. W. Tltenmb was elected president.'

NEARLY ANOTHER DISASTER.
Five Men in a Doat Upset in Mission
Bay.
Another narrow escape from death in
Mission Bay was reported lr.te last ni^ht.
Five yunng men from Butoht-rtown started
for a trip to Uunters Point in a Whitehall
boat, and when off bhag Rock were upset.
A strong flood tide was running at the
time, and the struggling men were drifted
cut toward the center of the bay.
Luckdv all but one of them were good
swimmers, nod managed to keep their
comrade, w!.o was not able to swim,
■float.
After a sirusc'p of fifteen minntss'
durftli ii the- upturned boat was reached.
All five, clunii to lut kei'l and signaled to
"linre mr help. Tneir cries and rrsticulß
tions were noticed by a party of fishermen,
who put Iff to the rescue and look the
boat-wrecked ui'-n on iward, landing them
safely at the I'otre o.
Several contradictory rumors reeardinc
(ho party of six that left Third stre«t lor a
sail in Mission Hay on Sunday ruorntns
were circulated last evening, but up lo 1
o'clock this morning nothing had been
heard from the p-ir:y.
It was reported that the steamer Mount
Eden had seen the missing plunder and
her occupants stranded on the mud banks
neßr Bidpn, but this story was discredited
by William Lenihun. a cousiu of one of
Uie absent m<-n.
MUCH RATHER DIE.
Yip Preferred Death to
Life in China.
An Imported Highbinder Tried to
Kill Himself Because He Was
Refused Landing.
Yip Lum, a member of the Chinese high
binder society of Suey Oa Tong, tiled to
commit suieido on tlie steamer Oceanic
yesterday afternoon, just before the vessel
leU the Pacific Mail dock, by banging
him self to a beam in tl;e Cuineso steerage.
Yip committed the rash act because of
bis inability to land as his society assured
him be would be able to do when he left
the Orent.
He watched til! the last minute, hoping
that a writ of habeas corpus would come
to his rescue, but Hip papers not arriving
he secured a piece of rops from one of the
Chinese sailors if the Oceanic, fastened ii
to a beam behind a partition and pro
ceeded to slowly strangle himself to death.
One .if the a tea m quartermasters hap
pened to notice the. celestial's strange ac
lions and caught him in the act of seif
ii vtrncticn.
Yip was imported by the society named
to join he highbinder clans of Chinatown,
to help do away with obnoxious Mongols
who oppose the organization here.
1I« worked his w.-iv to San Francisco as
a fireman en th« Oieanic. On reaching
this city efforts were made by his friends
to have him landed, the scheme being to
try to prnvo him to nave, once been a resi
dent of San Jose mid a peacefully dls
pooed and enterprising merchant.
Collector I'ticlps did not think it likely
that a marehant would be doiig r.rdinnry
duty as a steamship hand, aim tils fuel,
together with a number ot others hl'.h
snowed the applicant to be a fraud, decided
against his lar-ding on United Ms«tes soil.
l'r(or to his trip on the Oceanic, Yip was
employed as fireman .011 him of the roast
steamer lines in Chinese water!!, and while
acting in that capacity cumin tied deeds
which made him an .-xile from the land ot
Confucius. He fled to America at the
instigation of the Suey On Tongs, and
would probably have become a member of
the i crtl Chinese murderers had not Col-
Ipc- 1 r l'lie pi been too sharp for him.
Yip sails home to almost certain death,
for the Emperor's subjects are looking for
linn thete.
It. iiner ill an :>e disgraced by public exo
eutiuri he attempied tn take his own life
as described.

NO SLUMS HERE.
So Declares Special Agent
Bernard.
WE LEAD ALL OTHER CITIES.
We Have Our Vice and Virtue Sand
wiched, out We Have no Quarters
of Degraded Paupers.
Whnt is a "slum?"
San Francisco may well a>.k. for O. A.
Bernard, spec al agent of tlie Department
of Labor at Washington, says there is no
slum In this city.
Webster doesn't condescend to allude to
the word at all, but the Century diction
ary defines a slum as follows: "A dirty
bpek street of a city, especially such a street
inhabited by a squalid and criminal popu-
Imiou," and adds that it is chiefly used in
the plural, quoting as authority descrip
tions of English slums.
San Francisco may feel rather proud.
London, New York. Paris, Vienna. Ber
lin, Boston, St. Louis Chicago, Cincin
nati—in fact all the large cities of the "civ
ilized" world, have their slums or quarters
given over to the criminal pauper class.
We. have not.
Of course, we have Chinatown, but even
Chinatown, according to this critic. Is rap
idly growing smaller and may finally reach
the vanishing point.
Mr. Bernard says we can also claim
uniqueness In another respect, viz. : that we
sanuwich our vice and virtue incompar
ably.
In other citie=. says he, you can draw a
red ink line clearly dividing the goats
fruiii the sheep. ]>ut In tins city light and
shade are callously blended. Disreput
able sections (as nearly slums as he could
fiid) rub elbows wit 11 fashionable business
liousei! — stores frequented by the Four
hundred.
This astonished the, expert. He could
not undf r^tand the natural but often un
expectedly directed spread of the '•ity,
whereby many elegant residences have
been left stranded liieh nnd dry, and rer
tain other lesi de?irable haunts have been
entangled in the rapid flood of handsome
Bstafyllalmenta.
Mr. Bernard has had to report on scores
of cities here and in Europe, but his favor
ite red-ink-and-rule method would not
work In San Francisco. He had to make a
special map and go over each inch with
slow an*) careful baud.
By this method he has been enabled to
gain a very fair birdseye view of the city,
to some extent answering the poet's
prayer:
Oh, wad some grod the (jlftle lie us
To see oursels :»s liners see us!
Fur instance, his mr.p defines the limits
of Chinatown, tne Barbary Coast, the
Latin Quarter and the district below Mar
ket street, sometimes called Tar Fiat.
Many people have heard of these dis
tricts in a vague kind (if a way, and won
dered where some of them began or left off.
Mr. Bernard tells us.
His map shows Chinatown to extend
from Broadway to Culifornia street, and
from Kearny to Prospect place.
The Latin Quarter is officially stated to
lie frum Broadway to Oro«n street, and
from Battery to Stockton.
The Barbary Const ex'ends from WaMi
incton street, on :Ke.-miy, to Broadway,
and down ■ Broadway, Pacific street and
Jai-katin to the water iront.
Aiming: these c leforated quarter* Mr.
Bernard found much that was hnpelul.
True, in Chinatown the. dirt and filth ho
remembered year* ago is unchanged, but
then there is a falling off in the Chinese
population.
Hi aid not stumblfe on any Randy opium
"Joints" although he has good reason to
bflieve that such exist there.
Hanging around this unsavory, un
sightly quarter ho found many degraded
outcasts of society. Among those that
struck his attention foicibly was the
cocaine, and morphine fi-nds, who use
thnir slavery as a means of making money
wherewith to buy the. seductive chains.
In one of >iis last trips Mr. Bernard was
accompanied by a doctor, wno, suspecting
that these men played a ruse upon visitors
by injecting water or other harmless
liquid, examined several suf>j>»ct«.
The doctor took th»ir temn?ra!ure, noted
their nervou< disorder, ascortain-d that
the fluid used was really morphine and
cocaine, saw th« drug* pumped under the
sictn and observed the immediate tranquil
izinj! effect, lint the. doctor noted also that
the dos« was infinitesimal, the effects
speedily p.itsine off, enabling ih« "fiend"
to repeal his performance when trie next
band of curious tourists came along.
Mr. Bernard and his medical friends had
the interest to actually watch this unique,
method of making a living aril conclu
sively detected the "repeater am" in sev
eral cases.
There Is one little" section wtiich is clven
the doubtful credit nf Dearina off the ban
ner of dirt championship next to China
town. This is the small territory lying
between Kenrnv, Duponr, Vnllejo and
Broadway. It is occupied by Mexicnn*.
and may almost bo called a "slum"
acnriline to Mr. Bernnrd.
The Int*. winter he finds was a very bad
one for the, poor, ami In this connection
ills report cotuincnas the good work done
by the Christian Ml**lnn Union and also
by the Saltation Army. The former
opened a.hntne on Market street nnd the
latter launched the Lifeboat on the corner
nf Kearny ana Sai-rainenlo streets. 13o;h
did a large amnnnt of cood in the hard
winter mouths and are still maintaining
their labors.

"WAITING" ON FISHES.
A Trip to Lime Point That Was Not
Enjoyed.
H. J. Ram dp. the steward of a well
known restaurant on Suiter street, was a
tareot for the joktrs who visited that
place yesterday.
Hainpe's face ; received a sunbath on
i Sunday which despoiled it of whatever
j beauty It previously possessed. The skin.
I which has pealed off. gives his face a re
j semblance to that of a man who has been
bailed to a turn.
On Sunday Ratline in oompanyof Joseph
! MorrUon, Billy Bums and Billy ilnrabin
! went fishing m a Whitehall boat to Lime
! Point.
They enjoyed a very pleasant trip out,
nnd Cshini: was good whll* the sport
lasted, Suddenly, however, tho calmness
of the nr.»sui changed, at.d in re«noiis« to a
good stiff breeze Ihe waves kicked- lip a
general fuss.' ■
The boat in which the fisherman had
landed six healthy looking specimens of
the rnt'kcod family pitched in urand: style,
and th« Walton ians longed for a banel
of oil .with whica to pacify the troubled
water.*.
Bums and Hcrahin took nit* on the
fi-hci. nnJ cnnnncnofil to '< fret] them in a
aiHiiaer that astonished R.iiuyp, who never
dreamed that either man ten* capable of
storing away such a careo of Csh food. >
ilurrlson, ; who was very talkative pre
vious to the blow-out, was as silent us a
clam at low water until after six tours of
hard pulling.'' -When they landed at Angel
Island he opened: his trap anil said:
"Heaving*, hare 1 escaped a horrible
death."
Raiiipe stated that he lias been round the.
horn a dozen times, but during all his time
htsea lih has ver experienced a harder
trip than that of Sunday with a disabled
and grind- 'or-nothins crew en board. His
face lo'lcs nut-of-sicht, but a ftlanee at ilio
palms of his ha mis will convince the most
skeptical that he must have been fulling
against time last Sunday.
Garlic in the Ear.
William Tilton, a cook, called at the Re
ceiving Hospital last night for medical
treatment. He hr.d teen troubled with a
sore on th- right ear, and acting; upon the
advice (it some. on» applied a poultice >of
garlic. Not long after .having done so he
was sorry lie dirt, tor the remedy was
worse than the pain ami drove him nmd.
He received treatment, which cased his
sufferiuc. .

DO YOU KNOW
A sewing machine is only so
strong as it" weakest part,
hence the Singer Manufactur-
ing Co. use only the very best
material in every part. The
minutest piece is tested for .
its correctness to the mil-
lionth part of an inch before
it can pass to the construction
and adjusting rooms. The
very best machine, unless
properly understood and
cared for, is useless, therefore
only our own salaried em-
ployees handle finger Sewing
