Death of W. It. tVheaton, Ex-Begia-i ter of the Land Office. The death of William Rufus Vfheaton, ex-Registrar of the United States Land Office at San Francisco, occurred at his residence, 10CO Poplar street, in this city, yesterday Wr. Wheaton had reached the advanced age of 7S years, full of honors and by all who knew him.

He was a native of New York, and came to this State in 1849 fn his own ship. He first engaged In the merchandise business but subsequently turned his attention to the the practice of which he relinquished only during the time he held tbe Joffice of Register, to which position he was succeeded by A. C. Bradford, the incumbent. Deceased served a term as President of the Society of California Pioneers.

He was President of the San Francisco Bar Association at tbe time of his death. Is 1856 be was a member of tbe famous Vigilance Committee of San Francisco. He represented that city during one terra in the State Legislature. Of late, Mr. Wheaton took an active part in tbe a flairs of the Episcopal Church, serving for a time as Senior Warden of St.

i'aal's Church, and more recentlv of St. Andrew's Mission at West Oakland. He was also custodian of several important funds connected with the church. Some months ago Mr. and Mrs.

Wheaton celebrated their golden wedding, and it is a noteworthy fact that his is the first death that has occurred in the family. There are, therefore, surviving him, his widow, one son, George H. Wheaton, and five daughters, Mrs. F. R.

Cotton, Mrs. Bulkeley, Miss Jennie Wheaton, Miss Mary Wheaton, and Miss Charlotte Wheaton, and several grandchildren.

The Kittens of -Different Eelifieai Be- liefi and tie Couple in the Starlight. 1 1 From the tijse of Diogenes to.

the era of Dr. O'Donnell, many philosophers, cynical or shiftless, fiave told humanity just what to do and how to doit. But humanity allows much of the brain hatching, whether ethical or speculative, to carl up rnd become withered and sere, and so it waft that an announcement concerning'The Tub Philosophy of Diogenes" to be manipulated by Rev. John Ilannon, D. at the Asbury Methodist-Church last nights, brought a very few listeners.

The lecturer was late. Good lecturers generally are. When he arrived he prefacedl his speech with a somewhat humorous apology in which he staled that he bad been making arrongeruents for a series of lectures that in, he had just cfticiated at two Alter pi lengtny introduction ot elegant sentences the lecturer an outline pt the considerably disputed biography cf ithe strange, old man of Ssinope'sl rocky isle, "Diogenes had a Lather and Most well conditioned; meD do. He was boxed and spankedj according to the most orthodox manner, and having survived whooping cough and other iUs he arrived Kt the age at which tbe first prohiise of a beard appears when siuiultaritously- come ideus." Here the speaker digressed to remark that Voltaire! had observed that a man never has idas until his facial hair begins to Ktow.) and as women have no such coriirucdity they never have auy ideas. he I lecturer said that the statues df Diogenes that represent hiiu as a hunchbacked creature with a scow on i his features were, he thought, falsely seulpturcd and misleading.

After further remarking that the Atheaian cynic possessed cyt like the unkemptjeraters ot volcanoes, capable of great expression, and that be never parted his bair iln the middle, hu lecturer parsed tqtbe philosophy. his speech lir. Hannon presented euii-corai-cul allegories, in which he mixed up aucient iiames and places with local people. For those who objected to the apparently arbitrary reasoning of Diogenes hy related a little incident, i Kev. Mr.

A' kinson and Kev. l3r. pic Lean lived together in Athens, 'ihey hat listened to toe same oracles, had together! climbed Parnassus, and accomplished btber things expected of Greek divinities. One day a timid knock at At- kinson'adoor was answered and a little boy with' a basket of kittens stood there. Uon son want to buy a kitten.

no. I don't want a klen," replied the divine 1-1 I but they Is Methodist kittens." don't want one. niv little fellow." "Well "But II Several days afterwards Atkinson was in McLean study when the same little came wijth his kittens aud wanted to sell them, saying "they is Congregational i "But didn't yon tell rae tbev werj oj Methodifct asked Atkinson. "Oh! yes," replied the boy, "but they didn't have their eyes open then." Then the speaker said that if the people would only let the teachings of Diogenes rulj tlietu the result would be every actioir iirtfe modified in a beneficial way. To illustrate he told a story.

A young couple at in a ark one night on a bench beneath the trees. If a Methodist had seen the sight he? would hare thosght that it was "a iove feast," a Baptist would call it "close an Episcopal would say "they'ra being connrmea." Finally the young (man made a motion that the young i lady should give him a kiss whenever a star shot out of its orbit Soon a star did an obliging thing and the) young man began operations. Presently the young lady began to look for shooting stars, and sometimes she pointed out firt llies by mistake. Finally she got the yousg man down to steady work by pointing out the swinging light of a switchman's lantern, i to the philosophy of Diogenes, he remarked that every man should be willing and contented to live in a tub. If maukiiitl developed this contentment, the long Iliad of human woes would be a blank book.

IllUKtrativa of that temperament that is sever satisfied, he remarked that those who attended his lecture aud were disappointed should reason to themselves, "What dan you expect for a 20 cent lecture?" til The lcfcture whs replete with illustrations both pijuant aud vague. At the conclusion Kev. Mi. Atkinson announced that a noted divine jwill I lecmro at that church next c-aturdaj and that on Tuesday evening. September lth.

H. bhort. who for a week has been confined to clos4quarters in Sheriff Hale's that official was ordered to pro duce the body Of said Short in court at 10:30 o'ejock this morning, and the request was complied with. Attorney Fitzgerald appeared for Short and rended the commitment of this honorable Justice limb from limb. Although it is notasbbd as the mistake made by the "dedy Iweeping" Justice, still the files hover over this other other Justice in great numbers, i i Flrsc, I he held court on a non-judicial day; then, he imposed both a fine and imprisonment on the defendant, which is not legal inf cases of a simple assaalt, even if the defendant did wield "a large beer glass" with telling effect District Attorney Hall told how he had prepared copies of a font of commitment to be used by these individuals, but this Justice! in particular had returned them with the message that they didn't suit his refined teste, and he preferred to use some of hie own documents.

Judge Greene accordingly discharged the prisoner from custody, and Short may now go back and tantalize this honorable Justicaiwith smiles of scorn, and tell how our Bos Fitzgerald knows more than the neasaqton justice. Not Even Leaves. The report of the committee on award of srepc premiums for agricultural and kindred exhibits at the Mechanics' Fair is not pleasant reading for as Alameda connty man. pe hunts in vain for aa award to Alameda county. He sees Sonoma, Stanislaus, Bttte, San Luis Obispo, San Benito Clara, and Contra Costa mentioned In the lst of those counties whose prod Uft receive premiums, and he knows that a fair share of these premiums would have been awarded te Alameda county had this county made any exhibit.

The bac kbone of ambition of Alameda seems utterly shattered, and the vaulting powers of ambition are gose, even if ambition (itself is not buried i Killed by the Berkeley Local. Frank Gusto, the 5 year old son of an I tali an couple living at 837 Bay street, was stfuck by tbe Berkeley local train yesterday afternoon, and died froifl the effects soon after being removed to his home.

He had taken it upon himself to go to Bart Morgan's store and look at the requisitions upon which the rubber was bought. They could only produce one re quisition snc that waa the oniy one mat naa ooen signed bv Mr. Miner as cn airman of the committee.

Yet while these requisitions cculd not be produced at the store still the rubber was In the express office in this city. If he did have the requisitions he could not produce them. I do say that we have a right to question these rubber puis wnen tne mixer naa never been called to the attention of the board in a proper way." fciowiy, aeuoeraieiy, buu iwuiij nr. Everett replied: "1 deny every statement Mr. Smith has made.

You yourself recommended in open board that the rubber be purchased. This whole: problem, Mr. Chairman, is involved in 476 pounds of rubber. I am too old a member of this board to try to railroad any bill through. These bills have to be signed and read." "I will ask you." said Mr.

strum, whether when the bills are read in open board the iiems in each bill are read?" 'I do not know." promutlv replied Mr. Everett. Then he changed his answer and remarked that the items are read if called for. "I was told on the street that it had been stated that I had committed a misde meanor." Mr. Smith denied that he had ever said that Mr.

Everett had been guilty of a misdemeanor. He had simply said and he now believes that air. r-verett naa exceeded his authority. He did not desire to infer that Mr. Everett was interested in the buying of the rubber.

i As a further explanation Mr. Everett re -marked that he had turned the requisi tions for rubber over to Bart Morgan. -Mr. Morgau then asked him (Everett), to. select the rubber, and he had done so.

This was the on IN- connection he had had V- 1. V. Willi luc uuiiubius VI mc 1 iiuin i. Again Mr. Smith loudly proclaimed that he had not imputed that Mr.

Everett had been dishonest, but be did not believe it was right for any one member of the board to purchase anything on his own responsibility. 1 It was at this point that Director stepped into the arena of argument, and politely gave his colleague from the third a rap on tbe head. This' is how he did it: "1 had a bill of 1SS for lumber pre sented to me to-night, and I refused to sign it until saw Mrs. campDen mark of correction on the bilL Let the lumber and the rubber bills be paid, and I he that hereafter requisitions will be obtained for all supplies." i This wh a shot at Mr. Smith, as he was the one who purchased the lumber from Ierby Co.

Mr. Sanborn, in hi mild mannered, suave way, came to Mr. Everjt's relief with the fctatement that he bad been consulted by Mr. Everett before the rubler had been purchased and he had given his consent in the matter as a member of the Committee on Schoolhouses and Sites. Bart Morgan's bill was then I passed.

Messrs. Miller and Smith voting no. On motion of Director Kedington the salary of Janitor Fox was increased from The salary of the1 janitor of the Hizh school was increased a month. The salary of the janitor of the Garfield school was increased 110 a month. i Then Director Miller wanted to iknow if they hsd not better go into the business of raising salaries.

As Mr. Everett had acted on the defensive up 10 this time he now took occasion to be aggressive. Looking at Director Smith he remarked that bills had been subdivided and presented to the board in order to avoid an infraction of the law; This, in his opinion, was beating the devil around the sump.f He called attention to tbe fact i that he had two bills from Derby one lor $47 50 and another 44. These bills in his opinion had been subdivided in order that they might be passed. He did not charge Mr.

Smith with dishonesty, or with being fuilty of a misdemeanor. "I say that all want him to do is to trat me with courtesy. I will call up another instanoe where a bill of t0 was taken out of this ofQre and To this remark Mr. Smith replied that two jobs had been combined in ouc. There were two different jobs done and the bill had been made out aa if iUwas one job.

"Have you that bill in your possession?" demanded Mr. Everett. 1 "I have not," replied Mr. Smith. UI took it to Mr.

Farrelly. It was for two different joba of work. While I am stauding I desire to suggest that hereafter when the minutes are read to the board they be read from the book and not from the slips of paper. I have been informed from a person outside of this board that such has been- the method." i "Charley Reed," Interrupted Superintendent Campbell. -f Mr.

Campbell then explained that In case of corrections the minutes- could be changed on paper much better than in the books. The minutes were always properly written in the book. Mr. Everett, as a parting slap, took oci ession to remark that the minutes did not show that Mr. Farrelly 's work consisted of two jobs.

1 "Then the minutes are not shouted Mr. Smith. "I will sav that no man can impute mv acts or say that 1 have done anything Illegally." Mr. Everett sir 1 '1 have tbe floor," shouted Mr. Smith.

"I do not think that any member should purchase any material for the department withont the autboiitv of the board." To this Director Everett remarked: "I sav amen to that." The following bills were then allowed and ordered paid: Kemillard Brick Com-panv, $8 25; Daniel Siesbuttel, 112 75; Lombard A Whipple. $30 66: Smith A Way, Maxwell Pearce, $4 65, S2 20, Si 60, $2 50, $31 4, 113 85; W.

Bf Betdiag Tiii th Pupil Haj Lirn tie Dignity and Glory of Manhood and Power. Director Fins was the cnly member Of the Board of Education who was absent from the meeting last evening. He missed the fan, if fan it may be termed. "When the meeting was called to order all seemed serene to the out-Bide world, but the knowing ones intimated that Director Smith intended to throw down the gauntlet to Director Eyerett. Bat the business of the meeting progressed harmoniously until the President called "new business." This Was when Director Smith stuck something sharp into the member from the Fourth, which irritated him.

But evidently Director Everett had fortified ins position and was prepared for the attack. Jot only was be prepared to" meet the charges, but he had prepared tin' self to fire a blast into the enemy's cimp. And this he did with some effect. There was a heated argument. No direct charges of male-f easance in office were made, but nevertheless, insinuations were thrown out on both sides which were cutting, ilr.

Everett and Mr. Smith each desired it understood that he did not charge the other with ary crime, but simply irregularity in ordering certain materials for the School Department. Mr. Everett denied the imputations cast upon and further objected to being caUed a thief. Director Smith announced that he would not submit to the assertion that be had been guilty of any illegal acts in office.

And so the debate waxed warm. loints of order were raised, but Di-Tector Smith had the floor and announced that he was speaking to a question of privilege. Director Everett asserted that he had made no charges, but he desired to be treated witv cour- tesy.s The members of the board who were not particularly interested in the subject matter of the discussion kept severely quiet. Both Mr. Everett and Air.

Smith had their say. Each was angry with the other, Mr. Everett said amen to a proposition advanced bv Mr. Smith, and so the chasm be tween them was bridged for a time. Ait this controversy grew out of a bill presented by Bart Morgan for $220 for corrugated rubber furnished the department at the request of Director Everett, who savs he was authorized by the board to make the purchase.

E. S. Uolden in a communication to the board stated that the Lick Observa tory proposes to send an observing "Party to repeat at the solar eclipse of January 1, IS9, some observations of Professor Hastings made at the solar -eclipse of May 6. 18S3. He stated they were entirely equipped as to instruments, except that they need such a spectroscope as is owned by the Chahot coservatory.

JJe understood that the Cnabot Observatory is not now using this instrument, and be wished to ask if he could borrow it for the purpose named, and he would be responsible ltssaie retnrn. i His request was granted. J. W. Daniels of Boise City, Idaho in a communication to the board stated that he desired to change his field of labors and applied for a position as rescuer in ue men school.

Dora A Perry of Alameda also applied for a position as a regular teacner. Mrs. Sabina Maguire presented her resignation from the position of jani- vress oi tne Harrison street school and iln. Carrie Beck was elected to fill the vacancv. Director Smith, chairman of the Committee oa Schoolhouses and Sites.

reported that the yard at the Harrison street school bad been repaired that Ik F. Coiton had completed his work of training at the Grove street school: that Fruit Vale cement should be placed on the Cole rchoel yard at a cost of $130; that the boys' yard at the Tonip- xina scnooi was in a bad condition that the girls' yard at the Cole school needed repairs. The report was accepted and the ac tion of the committee was indorsed. Director Sanborn reported that the night school was in a flourishing condi-. tion, and that the average daily attend ance was seventy-Hve.

K. V. Miller, chairman of the Com mittee on Furniture and Supplies, re- Tortprt that a MiTiimit'M menaed that the following awards of bids be granted: To the lieaton Coal Company Wellington coal at SU 50 per ton; Newport, Coos Bay, coal, $10. To FLher Taylor Greta coal at $11 7: American anthracite. S16; redwood blocks, 12 inch, $3 85 per cord: pine wood blocks, 12 inch, $10 S3 rer ton: oak wood spli: blocks, 14 inch, $12 95 per cord.
