Sturtevant's case had one remarkable peculiarity which has been a source of study to the physicians. The extreme limit of life in Addison's disease is three years. In a majority of cases the patient passes quietly away in the second year in his sleep, but if the second stage be passed safely, the patient nearly invariably becomes insane during the third year, and death ensues in a few years. Sturtevant at no stage manifested symptoms of insanity, although his watchers were constantly prepared for an outbreak. He passed quietly away.

He was treated for liver complaint for nearly a year, when his parents, becoming dissatisfied with the progress of the cure, called a consultation of the most eminent phys icians in San Francisco, who after a careful diagnosis declared the ailment to be Addison's disease. The young man's death warrant was thus virtually signed.

Mr. Sturtevant immediately moved to West Berkeley on the advice of the physicians, in order that the patient might have seclusion. He purchased a pretty cottage that stands in a perfect bower of roses on the San Pablo road, and to this charming retreat his son was taken to die. Young Sturtevant did not know until the hour of death the fatal character of his disease, but imagined himself a martyr to jaundice.

In the second year his skin began to change from a saffron to a bronzed brown tint, and in the third year, or last stage of the disease, from the chest down it assumed a dead black hue, not unlike that of the Apache, while the face and upper part of the bust took on a dull brown color. The tongue also became as black as that of a parrot.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The Board of Education met in regular session May 14th, President Scott in the chair. The members present were Young, Pyper Pike, Nelson, Colbath, Duke, Snow Lett and Newman.

Second-That A. H. Parsons, J. F. Bradley and D. L. Murdock, residen:s and qualified voters in said distri t, will be the judges to conduct the said 'elec

tion.

Third-The polls will be opened one hour after sunrise on said day and will continue open until sunset of the same day.

Fourth-The amount aggregate of bonds proposed to be is of the denomination of $1000 each, to bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,$150,000 thereof to run for a period of ten years, and $450,000 thereof to run for a period of twenty years.

Fifth-The said bonds are proposed to be issued for the purpose of raising money for purchasing school sites, for building or purchasing one or more schoolhouses, and supplying the same with furniture, necessary apparatus and improving the grounds and for liquidating any indebtedness already incurred for such purpose. The new registration lists as prepared by the registration officers of this county shall govern as to qualifications of voters.

GEORGE M. Scort, President. J. B. MORETON, Secretary.

A long and warm debates followed as to the amount of bonds to be inserted in the above notice. It was finally moved to adhere to the original proposition for $600,000.

Mayor Scott-I occupy a double | 0sition here, being the mayor of the city and through that president of this board. I am, therefore, able to see the needs of both the city and the board. If it is intended to increase the amount to $600,000, the people will want to

know why it is done. I know that the educational interests need means, but there are departments of the city government which need means just as badly. Besides this, the city does not wish to exhaust its borrowing powers, as will certainly be done if this kind of a policy is pursued. I was in hopes of seeing a more reasonable amount named tonight than $600,000.

Mr. Lett said he had listened to the
discussion with much interest, because
he was a new member of the board and
wanted to hear all he could. In his
judgment the schools were the perma-
nent thing in this community. He
would be willing to wade through the
mud for some years hence and have
proper educational facilities provided.
Mr. Pyper-We might hear from
Mr. Young as a member of the City
Council.

Mayor Scott-It's inconsistent to be
a member of both bodies.
Mr. Young-Well, I will commend
the board for its moderation rather than
criticise it for its extravagance.
[Laughter.]

Mr. Pike said the board had been trying for some time to provide adequate accommodations for the school children, and in spite of all their efforts the children were still herded. Education was a necessity and in his opinion it was more important than even street paving. The city council, which went into office pledged to pro- The vote was then taken on the movide free schools, should keep its tion to insert $600,000 and was as folpledge and see that the necessary ac-lows: Yeas-Duke, Colbath, Newman, commodations were provided. If this Young, Pyper, Pike, Lett, Snow; No, was not done, the council would go Nelson. back upon its pledge and its party. He felt confident that the board could go before the people and get a full vote in favor of $600,000.

Mr. Young contended for $600,000 In the opinion of many that amount seemed excessive, but upon consideration it would be found that it was not. The taxes assessed and collected by the county and territory for school purposes was nearly equal to that of all other taxes combined, while the amount asked for by the school board was only one-third of the amount of bonds that might be issued. The city, too, could call upon abutting property owners to assist in making improve ments, while the issuing of bonds was the only resource of the board. While he did not doubt but that the mayor was sincere in his desire to reserve some of the city's credit, still he thought it was likely that the city might get tangled up and go to the limit. Therefore he was in favor of taking a mortgage on that $600,000 while there was a

chance.

Mr. Colbath said if the board ob

Judge Bartch stated that he had given the matter the most serious thought and had arrived at the couesion that the only course for the Re publicans was to organize.

Arthur Brown, upou being called for, made a strong plea in favor of or ganization. It could not be expected, he said, that the People's party would disband as long as there was no place for it to go. It was waiting to be swallowed up,and the Republican party should swallow its share of it. This had been repeatedly declared by its leaders, and he believed that they spoke in good faith.

John M. Zane responded to repeated calls and delivered a telling speech in favor of organization. He declared that polygamy was the keystone that supported the arch upon which had rested the system which the “Libera” party had contended against, and keystone having been removed, the Mr. Young then offered the follow-fabric no longer existed as an organiza ing resolution, which was adopted. tion to be opposed politically.

"London is the chief market of all the miscellaneous skins.

Of late years many of these skins have been brought directly to New York, and American buyers no longer find it necessary to go to Loudon. While fine lambskins are the staple in men's gloves, coltskins are rapidly coming into favor, and fine calfskins are also extensively used.

"Many newspapers continue, from some motive I cannot imagine, to publish the slanderous telegrams concerning me, sent out from Utah_by the hand or connivance of that infamous, liar, hypocrite, and lewd sham preacher, Rev. J. Wesley Hill, of the first Methodist church at Ogden.

"This is the same thief and swindler who came to Philadelphia, warmed himself into the Methodist pulpits, lifted collections for his church, which he pocketed and squandered upon himself, and his family; who sponged upon the hospitality of new made acquaintances and turned their houses and hospitality to ridicule and jeerings; who forced a lot of real estate upon benevolent Methodists at fabulous prices and with a series of lies that would appal a bunco man; who did this in the name of the church wh it was the private snap speculation of himself and a gang of Ogden sharpers; who lives a double life, preaching 'holiness' in the pulpit and indulging his treacherous lusts in private; who deceived me into accepting the presi dency of an alleged university, the scheme of duplicity, chicanery and land speculation; who induced me to hold on when I would have resigned months ago, and urged me to try to redeem the cause of the college and save the good faith of the church by a new measure to secure a sufficient endowment, which action of mine he is now trying to have the official board repudiate; who has set going all the flood of newspaper slanders upon me because I would not help him swindle a brother minister in Philadelphia, Rev. Merrit Hubbard, or join him in a scheme to use the university and the church for the purpose of getting big money for ourselves.

WHAT GLOVES ARE MADE OF. "Many of the gloves that are sold in the country under the comprehensive title of 'kid,'" said a glove manufacturer, "are really made of goatskin. There is hardly a country in the world that does not supply some sort of materials which are made up into gloves and many of which pass for kid in the retail stores. The supply of kidskin of the finest quality is naturally limited. The greater part is absorbed in the women's gloves. Men's gloves, therefore, are frequently made of fine lambskin, which is better than the second-rate kid. The genuine, fine kidskins are mainly of French origin, and those obtained from the mountain slopes of Southern France are world-famed for their excellence.
