thrilling pad act Mile Polly Cliniqne sonnds like an assumed name and there may be skepticism over the claim that she is a new arrival from Paris Whatever the opinion may be as to her birthplace the performance which the mademoiselle is to go through on horseback will probably convince the spectators that she is no slouch in the sawdust ring She will jump through hoops and caper over banners as her horse passes beneath and will throw kisses Indiscriminately at baidheads and youthful admirers while spinning in the air Elmer De Pue whose versatility cannot be measured has become a lockey for the nonce Like all the other gentlemen who are to participate he has had much knowledge about the riding of horses and all that he needed was constant practice to imitate the professionals He can now

fulfilled Alt of the doings in the rings will be marked by a seeming carelessness as to bodily consequences out in reality the performers have been training so assiduously that they will feel as much at ease as they go around in circles on the backs of their animals as Jean Weitz xnan does on his lofty tight rope The ringmasters will be Oeorge Knight the lawyer whose sonorous voice will prevent his concealment in any attire he ay choose to don John Stanton the famous California artist who loves jest and mirth as well as pigments and palettes and Hugo Toland whose success on the stage has

risibility These merry gentlemen who will masquerade as Punchinellos while the equestrians eo round and while the acrobatic and athletic proceedings invite attention are Louis Bloss who by right of

make them as spirited and fiery as possible Strong arms and steady cool beads will be needed to avoid an accident when the charioteers gocareering around the circuit for if one driver should become excited and lose command of the reins the sport will be dangerous Because of this risk it has been suggested that if any gentlemen have a quarrel which they would like to Settle they might step in the

cacen now LOT BOLDLY STOLEN BY A FOKGEE Frank Fowlers Clerer Scheme to Baise the Wind on Dixon Property What appears to be an audacious fraud has justteen brought to light whereby a piece of property was literally stolen through the agency of forgery and sheer brass The clever scoundrels did their work well and it was only pure luck that prevented them from getting away with 1500 in gold coin The property consists of 160 acres of improved land located about four miles from Dixon iu Solano county Jacob Schleicher of this city is the owner but it now stands on record In Fairfield the county seat of Solano in the name of Frank Fowler A ded purporting to be signed by Jacob and Catherine Schleicher was recorded there on July 18 1894 but the owner knew nothing of the fraud until last Sunday The man or men who accomplished the fraud understood their business well for although the property stood in the name of Jacob Schleicher only it was necessary by a law passed by the Legislature two years ago to have the nameof the wife on the transfer The deed was acknowledged by a notary public named John King The onlv notary public in this city named King is James so the conspirators created a new notary and had a seal made to carry out tbeir plan About a month ago Frank Fowler or a man whoeave that name went to I Cotton a real estate agent in Dixon and asKea mm to negotiate a loan of looo on the property Mr Cotton had the title searched found that everything was all right and got the money The lawyer of the person who was to make the loan Stopped the transaction at the last moment A portion of the property is leased the lease having another year to run The attorney declared the loan off Sir Cotton was very sorry so was the would be lender so was Mr Fowler The latter was so eorrthat he went away and hid his bead and just now when he is very badly wanted he cannot be found Last Saturday Mr Schleicher went to Dixon to look after his ranch and see about cutting his hay and Mr Cotton spoke to him about his recent sale Then for the first time the fraud was made known Fowler claimed to be resident of Yolo county but no such man can be found The District Attorney of Solano county is now investigating the matter STRINGING THE WIRE8 Activity on the Misalon Street Electric Line Work on the proposed Mission street electric line is being diligently prosecuted All the coles

Dalziel Andrew McElroy John Loancy Max Goldberg The opening session of the Educational Congress was held last evening in Golden Gate II all The audience was composed of many of the leading educators of the city and State and several distinguished Eastern college and school men were present James Pbelan president of the ex eeutive committee of the Midwinter Fair Congresses made a happy address of wel come We have here he said a great exhibition of the arts sciences and mechanics in the Midwinter ExDOsition and while this reveals the great material interests of the State it is natural that we should turn to the exposition of the higher spiritual and intellectual resources Of the community as represented in the educating influences surrounding our youth The object of this congress is therefore to exploit into the field of intellectual labor for the mutual interest of alL Martin Kellogg president orihe State University was introduced as the presiding officer of the session He referred briefly to the important educational problems arising and still unsettled and looked for nothing but good to arise from their intelligent and earnest discussion during the congress This at least is not a superfluous congress remarked President Kellogg for education is a theme which never wears out The announced programme of the session was the relation of the Hizh School to the higher education The first address was delivered by James 11 Baker president of the University of Colorado Professor Bakers paper bore upon the action of the National Council of Education held in Saratoga in 1892 to formulate a system of instruction which might be made the basis of work in the secondary schools The council appointed a committee of ten which in conjunction with nine sub commiUees of conferences formulated a plan Professor Baker outlined some twenty recommendations of the committee and criticised several at some length He laid Stress on a needed reform in the rigid and mechanical methods of instruction now employed and urged a natural system The demands of improved methods require he said a higher training of irfstructors Xhie tenths of the schools are largely Imitators and they would be greatly improved by accepting a consensus of the opinions of the highest educators Heretofore the divorcement between the college and the lower grades has been a fatal error Individual Instruction was the theme of the second paper presented by Professor Search Superintendent of the Pueblo Colorado Industrial Public Schools The graded school system of America said Professor Search has in the process development taken to itself many elements of questionable character In nothing has this been more manifest than in the trend of schools toward mechanical excellence The best public schools are not in the larger cities Healthy and adequate individualism in education has been crowded to the wall by he encroachmentsencroachments of generalization The fact that no tfco human minds are alike is permitted to cut no figure in the process of education Ail are measured by an average ideal which frequently has no existence except in the schoolmasters mind The ideal school must preserve the health of the pupil both physical and mental To that end there must be shorter hours of study required by students in our schools Good substantial work as well as the demands of health call for the confinement of all technical requirements to the legitimate hours of session Ths school is the proper place for school work Hence it is that the work of the secondary school which cannot be done during the normal hours of session had better be left undone But there is a moral health which shouid be the direct product of the school There is no incentive in the schoolroom justifiable excepting that which belongs purely to the nature of the work 1 would arraign the whole system of presentation of such incentives as the marking of work by per cents and the recognition of the bright ones by special honors The discrimination of results and consequent comparison of pupils are all pernicious in the extreme I believe the pupil who can do three times as much as his fellow should be allowed to do it This is the aim of indi vidualism in the school One of the distinguishing characteristics of individual teaching is the unconscious direction it gives the teacher toward the study of mind To days programme is as follows Forenoon session 930 oclock Round table conference on Geography Hilgard State University leader Rouud table conference on The Esthetic Spirit in the Schools Miss

and likewise for his pocket baa placed James Murphy in a position to acquire fame in the halls of justice Though a resident of San Jose Mr Murphy prefers to do his heavy eating in this town He favored one restaurant with his appetite to the extent of 1502 75 worth of vituals and drink and then apr parently overlooked the item until the filing of a suit to recover the amount named recalled the matter to the mind of the epicurean Murphy Lenoir proprietor of the Pup rotis serie on Stockton street near Market is the man who has been feeding the fastidious Mr Murphy of San Jcse since the early part of October 1892 It took vast quantities of frogs and other delicacies Of that sort to satisfy the diner but the Pup man kept up the supply until 1502 75 worth had gone to that bourne from whence no frogs legs return He then brought suit in the Superior Court against his customer The papers were filed on4 Monday and in a few days Mr Murphy will be asked to appear acd settle Meanwhile heavy eaters and others are greatly interested in the coming contest They all know Mr Murphy who is familiarly called Jimmy the Kisser and many of the gay spirits have dined at his expense sot since thatjustly celebrated Roman festival which followed the wind up of the Circus Maximus a year agO has there been an event which created more genuine enthusiasm in gastronom ical circles During the year and a half in which Mr Murphy favored the Pup with his patronage he has made several records of which the most ambitious eaters could be justly proud It was apparently not so much appetite as a laudable desire to break Coast records which inspired Mr Murpby in his table seances Still he must have been hungry at times judging from the itemized bills for single meals The first dinner which threatened the record was served to Mr Murphy on the evening of October 9 1891 Evidently that bracing ride up from San Jose sharpened his appetite to an alarmine extent for he ate 90 worth of food etc with a friend to help him Elsewhere through the long bill submitted by Lenoir were such items as small bottle for Miss Carrie and it is therefore probable that she ably assisted Mr Murphy in his record breaking feats The bill of October 9 1892 stated that it was for two although the champion eater from San Jose did much better under the same auspices later on Among the items mentioned in the great 96 gorging match was 4 for frogs They dont have frogs at San Jose and when Mr Murphy saw those large fat spotted fellows sporting about in their globe in the window of the Pup he everlastingly blew himself for frogs In order not to subject the unhappy frogs to a sudden change Mr Murphy and his friend drank 50 worth of champagne prior to the arrival of those edibles Then they had some other things and finished off the banquet with 5 worth of apolllnaris water presumably for cooling purposes With this little effort as a starter Mr Murpby concluded to become still more speedy and soon acquired a velocity which was simply frightful On the very next evening October 10 1892 he showed up fresh and hungry in his shiny plug hat for another warm time at the Pup According to the figures he totally eclipsed all previous performances and smashed the record to atoms No one has yet been heard of who equaled Mr Murphys flights while indulging in dinners for two At the econd sitting he and his friend left the table much refreshed and invigorated by the absorption of 111 worth of the good things provided by the Pup It is said that at the conclusion of this banquet the ceiling of the dining room resembled a bneti Mound tareet at the close of a busy days shoot The bombardment of corks was something terrific During this first siege which marked Mr Murphys careern the eating line be ran a bill of 330 in one week from October 7th to the 13th inclusive and had a most enjoyable time It seemed as if he couldnt get enough to eat Havin broken the record for single sit tings Mr Murphy launched out and gave dinner parties In other words he became a gay butterfly that flitted on golden wings among the pleasures of earth till he got tired Then Mr Murphy ceased to flit on his golden wings and Lenoir got tired it seems It was at the dinner parties that Mr Murphy of Ban Jose acquired fame as a kisser osculating all round with great tact and enjoyment His custom was to invite four or five ladies to the feast and seat them at a circular table in the center of the room Then be would order up wine and frogs for his fair guests and while they were dining Air Murpny wouio kiss tnem
