COMMOTIO* AMOK THE TEACHERS-
Supported in Their Stand by Their
Parents — Expulsion Is
Threatened.
There is a strike on in the Girls' High
School which threatens to be serious be- i
fore the trouble is straightened out. The i
junior class in history i. as said "We Will
Not," and Principal Elisha Brooks has \
said "You Will."
The trouble all started over the attempt
on the pari of the Board of Education to
make the class purcha-e Meyers' History
of Greece, to be sin ii d in conjunction
with. Fisher's Brief History of the Na
tion--. Last week the edict went forth j
that on last Monday the class must be [
provided with the book in question. The '
young ladies, thirty-five in number, made j
an examination of the two books and
came to the decision that the book they
had been ordered to pet does not contain j
any more facts historical than the one
they are now studying.
An appeal was taken to their parents, !
and their decision was upheld. On Mon
day one more admonition was given thai
the histories must be forthcoming by the
next day.
On Tuesday thirty-five young ladies,
scarcely able to suppress their laughter
over the novelty of the situation, pre
sented t: em selves before the head of the
history department, Mrs. Prague, who
asked, "flow many of you young ladies
have your histories?" Noone responded.
"How many of you have not purchased
your histories?" Thirty-five pupils arose. !
Here was a situation. Elisha Brooks,
the principal, came and asked wny. the
histories had not been bought as directed, !
adding that the order was not of his'
making but that of the Board of Educa- |
tion. One young lady essayed the remark !
that her parents would not let her buy the j
book, considering she had one just as good.
Then it was that Mr. Brooks' ire arose
and he told the pupils that unless they
•purchased the history they would be ex
pelled from school. He added: "I will
not be too severe with you and will allow
a reasonable time for you to get your
books."
One bright young lady, in discussing the
situation, said: "We are already under a
very great expense, for the books we are
obliged to use cost us about $1"", to say
nothing about the writing paper, which
the Schoooi Board is now too poor to
furnisi;. Heretoiore Meyers' History of
Eastern Nations and Greece was the book
used, and it contained all the average
pupil cares to learn. Then the School
Board ordered, at the beginning of the
term. Fisher's Brief History of the Na
tions, a textnock that is very compre
hensive. Now we must get Meyers' His
tory of Greece, which does not contain a
fact that is not in Fisher's- And all this
for what? Simply to till some one's
pockets at the expense of the parents
whose children want an education."
The young lady went on to say that the
girls of the class are determined not to
give in to the orders of the teachers or
the Board of Education, come what will.
She said that one or two have been scared
by the threat of expulsion and are likely
to buy the book, which costs $1 50. The
others have the true grit, and not only
will they not buy the histories, but they
threaten ail kinds ol things if there are
any who break faith and give in to the
order. From what can be learned the
girls have tne support of their parents in
their stand against what they think is an
imposition.
To-day is the last day of grace, and it
remains to be seen it Principal Brook-,
carries out the threat be made to expel
the young ladies from school if they have !
not com (died with the order.
Thirty-five young ladies nave -et their j
foot down that they will not. Principal
Brooks has set his foot down that they j
must, and thus the en-*** stands.

DAWN OF AN ERA OF PURITY
HERALDED BY CAPTAIN DELANEY
A BOTTLE of social purity is about
lo oe uncorked and sprinkled ever
devoted San Francisco, and Cap
tain P. M. Delaney, with his Super
visorial colleagues, Smith and Morton,
has been selected to superintend the
shower.
At last Monday's meeting of the board
the three members were appointed a spe
cial Committee on Public Morals. A
week has passed since their appoimment,
and the three members have entered upon
their arduous duties with an enthusiasm
that promises to transform this city of sin
into a fit abiding-place for the angels.
The captain, if possible, is the stanchest
advocate ot social reform, and those who
know him best are most capable of appre
ciating his entire sympathy with the
movement. Yesterday afternoon he out
lined a plan of campaign against vice that
promises to cut short the Salvation
Array's sphere of usefulness.
Delaney and his associates have the
greatest respect for the majesty of the
law, and fur that reason there are a few
littl- vices, like Mose Gunst's poker
rooms and shaking dice for the drink',
that will not be interfered with, but all
the others must get off the earth.
And the best of it is, the committee
knows rig t where to begin, to give the
initial douche as it were. The plague
spots in the heart of the city are to re
ceive the committee's initial attention
until they are blotted off the man, or the
dens of iniquity are forever closed and the
depraved occupants have been forced to
seek other and more secluded quarters.
This is not all. According to the cap
tain's statement, a hospital is to be estab
lished for the care of these creatures, who
are to be taxed a certain sum each week,
sick or well, for its maintenance.
"Yes," said the captain, "we intend -.o
close up such streets as St. Mary's,
Quincv and Berry, just as Morton street
was closed. We can stop the landlords
from renting their premises for such pur
poses and we propose to do so even if we
have to establish a police blockade. After
we get those places cleaned out we will
turn our attention to others."
"How about the nickel-in-the-slot ma
chines?"
"Say, those machines have got to go.
They're a great evil. No man living can
beat them — I know it; and they're a
menace to public morals. We'll take care

what he was dome.
MRS. TERESA BELL'S COUP.
Incriminating: Evidence Found
in the Trunk of Ex-Sec
retary Eaton.
The Widow and Her Attorney De
cline to Make Known Just What
. Discoveries Were Made
There is a promise of some sensational
developments connected with the estate
of John Bel), deceased, for Mrs. Teresa
Bell has turned the last trick by having
the trunk of G. R. Eaton, a former secre
tary of the estate, searched and claims
that she has discovered incrimiuating
evidence against Euton which will bene
fit the estate to the amount of about
$100,000. . *-'--&>P|E__£
Just what discoveries were made are
not known, for neither Mrs. Bell nor her
attorney, Fisher Ames, would talk about
the matter. It is known that steps were
being taken in regard to the Eaton matter
for some time, but those who were in a
position to Know what those steps were re
fused to talk.
Mrs. Bell returned home yesterday, but
she took pains tbat no representative of a
newspaper would be afforded an oppor
tunity of interviewing her, for inquiry at
the Bell res dence elicited the Information
that Mrs. Bell had not yet returned from
Los Olivos.
Attorney Ames was seen last night, but
he professed to know nothing of tbe
matter further than that some steps had
been taken, but just what discoveries
were made he claimed he had no knowl
edge of, as he stated that he was not
handling that part of the case. He inti
mated that criminal proceedings would
be taken against Eaton.

A COXVEMTIOX FOR FREEHOLDERS.
Dictator Sullivan Properly Denounced
and Expelled Prom the Organ

political meeting of the season at Metro

out the programme described in advance
with neatness, dispatch and ease.
of them when we get through with the
other matter."
''What do you think of the almost uni
versal practice here of shaking dice for
the drinks?"
"Well," and here the captain became
thoughtful at the mention of drinks,
"shaking for the drinks is an innocent
amusement, and when you're shaking
with friends you have an even chance to
come out even, lam inclined to think
that to slop shaking for the drinks would
be in the nature of trampling on a man's
rights."
"Will you take any notice of the betting
at the racetrack?"
"Yes; that's a great evil and ought to
be slopped. The bookmakers get all the
money and it's next to impossible for a
man to win."
"The poker-rooms will have to close
when your committee gets down to work,
1 suppose?"
Again the handsome captain grew
thoughtful. "It's this way with the poker
rooms," he said, after a pause. ' The
courts have decided that poker is a game
of science, and not chance, so I don't see
how we can interfere with them. Bosldes
if one plays with friends, and is careful
that no ■harper gets into the game, he
They set up and hailed P. J. Harney,
major and Harbor Commissioner, as the
commander-in-chief of the local Democ
racy during the coming year that is to try
politicians' souls; they declared and de
nounced in resolutions and, having given
the campaign committee the glad hand
and a boo.t, they adjourned, leaving the
management of party affairs in its hands.
The meeting was that of one of the
three Democratic factions that has
the "works" and feels on top. The two
other factions were represented. A few
friends of Dictator Sullivan's people came
to see and report and there were more of
the Buckieyites— lots of them. <-_|sll
The meeting was not an exciting one,
simply because there was no opposition to
anything, the possible kickers all being in
two other camps.
Vice-Chairman L. M. Manzer called the
meeting to order, and there was a roll
call, after which Secretary John P. Mc-
Govern announced 245 of the 45'J present.
The resolutions approved by the cam
paign committee were not as fierce as
many expected. They were real by R.L.
Mann as follows:
Whereas, The chairman of the general com
mittee of the Democratic part/ of the city and
county ol San Fraucisco, Col. W. I*. Sullivan
Jr., has seen fit to attempt to remove the cam
paign committee of said General Committee
an.l arbitrarily assume the power of appoint
ing a new campaign committee pledged to ap
point a general committee to his own liking;
and, whereas, such a proceeding is contrary to
tue consiitutii.n of said general committee,
unwerranted by any rule of law or right, and
against the time-honored customs and princi
ples the Democratic party; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the General Committee of
the Democratic party of the city and county
of San Francisco, denounce the action of said
Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr. as arbitrary, uncon
stitional, subversive of every principle of nat
ural right and calculated 10 disrupt the party
and foster the dangerous principle of one-man
power; and
Resolved, That we pronounce said action of
said Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr. null and void;
aud _VB"MV£>' ;
Resolved, That In view of said action and the
abandonment ol the chairmanship of the
General Committee by said Colonel W. p.
Sullivan Jr., the position of chairman of said
Central Committee be and • the same is
hereby declared. vacant; and
Resolved, That we approve the action ef the
cam Jin ign committee in electing Major P., J.
barney chairman of said campaign committee,
and pronounce the said proceeding regular
aud ..institutional.
Tne mention of V. J. Harney's name
brought applause every time. Mr. Mann
recited the fact of Colonel Sullivan's re
.cent.doings, and asked: ' "Do we want a
man to ait as dictator anil turougu servile
committeemen direct the affairs of the
party?"
The resolutions were adopted with ap
plause, and then Julius Ctc-ar Saulman
read another set of a more spicy style, as
follows:
Resulted, by the General Committee of the
Democratic party 01 the city and county of
San Francisco. That we congratulate the Dem
ocratic party of Greater .New York upon tne
splendid victory just' achieved and upon the
declaration of its first Mayor to put none but
Democrats on guard;
That wo extend cordial greetings to our
Democratic brethren in Ohio, the home 01 the
late lamented grand old statesman Allen G
Thurman. for its successful onslaught upon
Haunalsm and industrial slavery; *■
That we utterly and emphatically repudiate
the action of certain members of this General
Committee, who, having given aid and com
fort to the common enemy by marching in
lie McKiuley procession on Saturday, October
31, 181)0, still hud the presumption to su in
our councils and mingle with us as if they
had never been guilty of treason most foul,
and we demajd that tne grievance committee
take such action as may seem just and proper;
That we congratulate the late chairman ot
this General Committee. Colonel W. P. Sulli
van Ji., upon the fact that he has reduced the
three tailors of Tooley street, who once upon a
time constituted themselves the people of
England, to the number of one, and that he is
now the only tailor tit to make laws lor the
Democracy of San Francisco;
That profoundly grateful ior small favors,
and bearing ever in mind the Scriptural in
junction that there is more rejoicing, in
heaven over a saner that repenteth than
over ninety and nine just persons that need
no repentance, we hall with peculiar sattsiac
lion the declaration of the Examiner in its
issue of October 20 that after ten years ot ac
.-ence in foreign pastures tne prodigal son has
returned to the bosom of his first love ;
That we sincerely rejoicu in the fact that
Colonei Maximilian Popper, the. 1 butterfly of
the ever-changing political fashions, thai
laded wallflower of the halcyon days of Buck
leyism, has once more returned from his ob
scurity, even like Cincicnatus from his plow,
and that he is ready to re-unie business
at the old stand at $650 per month,
and that Captain Samuel Brauuhari, tnat
other matchless reformer who once swore that
nothing should ever come between him and
the Sage of Livermore, saving and excepting
the buggy robe which he presumed to mm as
a token of his undying affection, Is about to
issue to the good people of the Twenty-ninth
Assembly District a second edition of the
fam"U • isinglass ticket of the reform primary
of 1892, a ticket which lias obtained a place
of honor in the National Museum at Washing
ton. , i
Dr. W. J. Gavigan read some resolu
tions reciting the need of a new charter,
the propriety of the Democratic party
securing representation in the Board of
Fie -holders and of all parties sitrrnling
togeih.-r for good government, and re
solving as follows:
That the district committees of each of the
can manage to keep even, or may be a
little bit ahead. Really 1 don't see, in
view of the decision of the courts, how we
can do anything with the poker rooms."
"You will put a stop to prize-fighting,
of course?"
"Young man," and the captain became
very severe, "prizefighting was stopped
in this city long ago.' Occasionally we
have a limited-round boxing contest be
tween the most scientific men in the pro
fession, which are really quite enjoyable
vents, but as for prizefighting to be sure
we would not permit that," and the Su
pervisor cut short the interview logo
downtown and arrange for a compliment
ary box with the manager of the Goddard-
Sharkey mill.
Supervisors Smith and Morton fully co
incide in the captain's views on the neces
ily of reformation in the city and the evils
that need subduing.
Their admiration for the military mem
ber's plan of campaign is unbounded, and
they both declare themselves entirely
willing to follow wherever he may lead
them, even though it should be to one of
the Central Park yellow ball games or
Mose Gnnst's poker-room.

Resolved, That the action of the campaign
committee in conferring and seeking to con

political parties to secure such representation
is hereby approved and the committee is
hereby directed to proceed with such confer
ences.
The resolution! were adopted and, on
motion of J. A. Spinetti, a convention to
nominate freeholders was called for the
17th hist.
Dr. W. J. Gavigan, in an eloquent
speech, nominated for the vacant chair
manship P. J. Harney, who was whooped
into the job in about half a minute. •
Major Harney thanked and realized
and then vigorously denounced Colonel
Sullivan's action aa the -most monumen

political history of California.

PETER'S BLOOD WAS UP.
The Colored Pugilist Had a
Kough-and-Tumble Fight
on Ellis Street,
How the Champion Made a Game
light and Stood His
Ground
Peter Jackson has had a fight at last,
and the contest was witnessed by only a
few people.
Since Peter's arrival in this city he has
been going the pace that kills, his friends
having failed to induce the colored cham
pion to quit paying such close attention
to John. Barleycorn. '
On Wednesday morning Jackson hap
pened into a saloon on Ellis street, and
after having downed three or four big
horns of wet goods he grew talkative and
discussed witn Harry Corbett and "Andy"
McDowell the Corbett and Jackson and
the Corbftt and Fitznmruons tights.
Peter the Great referred to Jim Corbett
as being a clever boxer and a poor tighter.
: Oi course, Harry Corbett took umbrago at
ibis remark and told Jackson that he was
talking throu-h his hat and that nis
brother, Jim Corbett, could smother him
in short order. H*nH
Alter a rapid exchange of uncompli
mentary remaks Corbett swung bis right
and Jackson felt a stinging sensation
under his left ear.
Now the battle was on, and a rough
and-tumble scrimmage on the floor at
tracted a small crowd.
Corbett --cored a good lead, but when
Jackson sobered up a bit be smashed
Harry a couple of stiff lefts in the face,
and some one shouted first blood for
Jackson.
At this juncture McDowell took a hand
in the game, and Peter had no easy time
of it warding off blows and delivering
hard goods whenever an opportunity of
fered.
Austin Fitzgerald, realizing that glasses,
etc., would soon be flying in the air, ran
his hand down into his hip pocket for

Tommy Lindsay looked as serious as he
could while the war was pending, and
wondered if the combatants would battle
to the death.
Finally when McDowell was seen to
flash something that looked like a scalp
ing-knife the spectators interfered, but the
task of separating the fighleis was not by
any means an ea--y on**.

CARLYLE WAS IN LOVE
His Friends Say His Admira
tion of Miss Wallis Cost
Him His Job,
The Soubrette Pays Some More of
Her Bespects to Manager
T. D. Frawley.
That little tilt between Timothy Daniel
Frawley and Miss Gladys Wallis has set
the tongue of Mrs. Grundy wagging be
hind the scenes, and once again the old
internal dissensions oi that admirable
company of players, tha Frawley Com
pany, are being reviewed. There never
was a stage family that seemed so happy
before the footlights as this same body of
people. But behind the curtain matters
were not so velvety, so the reports that
have leaked out from time to time would
indicate.
Miss Wallis declares that she is glad
that she is out of the way of Frawley for
several reasons. She makes some serious
accusations against the well-known man*
ager. She says that be played fast and
loose in al! his dealings with her, and bis
action in discharging her is the result of
petty spite, and all because she resented
certain insults offered her.
"When 1 signed for the 'Geisha' com
pany with Mrs. Kreling of the 31 vol i I
thought Mr. Frawley would have a con
vulsion," was the way the soubrette put
it. "He came to me and almost ' got on
his, knees in his supplications for me to
remain with the company. He declared i
that if I leit him ne would ruin my repu- !
tation, if possible. He said that he wou d I
have me publis' ed in every newspaper as '
a contract-brebka:*, and such like. T en I

he intimated that be would blast my
I -.•ood name in connection with a well
| known member of the company. He
I takes a peculiar delight in roasting tbe
j lady members of the company, but he is
' as polite as a mouse when he is address
; ing the male members as a ruie. Twice
!of late he has bad trouble with Mr.
Worthing, than whom there is no nicer
: gentleman on the age. He abuses Miss
j 13 ues at times in an outrageous manner,
I but they all have to grin and bear it.''
There is a story current that the depart
\ ure of Francis Carlyle for the East a short
I time ago is a sequel to the present tem
| pest in the company. Those who knew
j Carlyle well say that he was a great ad
i mirer of pretty Miss Wallis and thai his
I infatuation got him into the bad graces of
1 the management. Carlyle's friends say
i that the way was made so unpleasant for
I him that he was glad to accept an offer
! from Frohman. Frawley declares that he
j was discharged for intoxication.
