P\:sie Johnson, one'of the prettiest models, who posed for the New York artists, has disappeared, and her disappearance hasrecalled the dinner famous in the luxurious Bohemia of men of fame and fortune. The girl is 17 years old, the daughter of a well-to-do mechanic. She accompanied a friend, who was posing in one of the big studios, and presently became a model herself— firstfor the face and neck only, but at last for the altogether. She was made much of by the artists, was wined and dined and was

dazzled by the glitter of the new life. She concealed the questionable part of her life from her parents. Last May Henry \V.Poor,the Wall-street bunker, gave a dinner at the famous studio of James L. Breese to his friend, John Elliott Cowdin. The guests wereall men of note. Thirty-three men and two women sat down to the banquet. The party drank 144 bottles of champagne, an aver-

age of nearly four and a half bottles for every guest. The dinner cost $3500, $110 dollars per plate. When the coffee and cigars wore

placed on the table six waiters came in. bearing an enormous pie. This was placed in the center of the table, the head waiter cut

the crust, the pie fell apart and showed Susie Johnson, dressed in filmyblack lace. A great bevy of canaries that had been in pris-oned in the pie with her flew about the room. The little Eighth-avenue girl was the queen of that night. Now her mother issearching the studios for her, for she has abandoned her home, and her father threatens to murder tho man who enticed her away.

Chinese Cause Trouble Overthe Burial of Their Dead

at Sea.

The schooner Kodiak arrived from i

Cooks Inlei. yesterday and reported thetotal loss of the Seattle gasolL.e schoonerCrystal. The latter was on her way fromCooks Inlet for Sitka with a number of |miners aboard. A heavy gale sprang upand the vessel headed for Yakutat. Inat-tempting to make the harbor the Crystallost headway on the bar and in a few mo-ments was thrown higli and dry on thebeach. The passengers and crew managed

to get ashore, but lost their effects and inafew hours the schooner was a total wreck.

Captain Peterson of the Kodiak couldnot do anything for the shipwrecked men,so they waited for the steamer Dora, whichwill bring them to San Francisco. Thesteamer was not due at Sitka until the 7thinst.. and the miners and sailors had alonpwait. They were made comfortable atYakutat, however, and the Indians dideverything in their power to help them.

"Very few of the miners willremain atCooks Inlet this winter," said W. L. Wash-

j burn, agent of the Alaska CommercialCompany, yesterday. He was one of thepassenger:- on the Kodiak and know 3 justhow matters are up there. ''Four or fiveminers were doins fairly well,"continuedhe, "but the remainder did not makebread and butter. A couple of them wereso nard-up that Captain Peterson broughtthem down out of charity. Itwas all al-luvial rninin<r, but the field was not nearlyas extensive orrich as they protended.

"There are, perhaps, five or six goodmines out oi the lot. and those do not morethan pay expenses. Alaskan fields arecertainly not a poor man's diggings."'

As far as the two miners who came downon the Kodiak are concerned they have nowords bad enough In which to paint theirprospecting tour in Alaska. After theirlittle ready money went they were at themercy of the storekeeper, and their dailyearnings barely sufficed to keep body andsoul together. According to them theheld at Cooks Inlet will never pay for theworking.

The steamer Mary (iarratt arrived fromStockton yesterday afternoon with 123 OddFellows aboard. They closed their en-campment in Stockton Thursday evening,

Ibut itwas 2 o'clock Friday morning beforeIthey were ready to leave. SuperintendentICorcoran delayed the steamer for them,

The Ranger came here direct from Aca-pulco, and brings no late news of the dis-aster at La Paz.

A telegram to the Merchants' Exchangestales that the British bark Rathdown,

from Astoria for Queenstown with a car^o Iof wheat, has put into Auckland for re-pairs. The carpo shifted and the vesselwillhave to he surveyed.

She sailed from Astoria for Cork on July8 last with a cargo shinned hv Balfour, j(Jmhrie <fc Co. and valued at $54,000.About this time she shoukt be somewhere !'near her destination, but instead Bhe turnsup at the other end of the world. With ;some the opinion is advanced that thetelegram is wrong, and that Falkland(Island) should be the word instead ofAuckland. Others contend that when thecargo shifted all the captain could do wast'j put his ship before the wind and run !until the storm was scent. One thing iscertain, the Rathdown is now 102 days on jher journey and no nearer home thanwhen she started.

Tales of disaster keep piling up, and the :underwriters are afraid to open a telegramfor fear it contains the news of another jloss. Ihe news arrived yesterday that theBritish bark Glenclune, before reportedashore, had become a total wreck. Shewas on her way from Hamburg to Port ILos Angeles with a cargo of cement for ithe Southern Pacific Railroad Company.

The bark Merom arrived from Karluk :yesterday afternoon with 195 Chinese andninety-seven white fishermen. During the ]

!run down the coast the skipper had almost!a riot on his hands. The Chinese got up 'i the disturbance over two of their com- jpanions who died at sea, and had it not |been for their "boss" there would havebeen trouble.

A few days after leaving Karluk one ofthe Mongolians died. His body was \placed inpickle and the coolies were satis-fied. On September 30 a heavy gale cameup, however, and everything on deck was

i awash. The foresail was carried away, theforecastle door stove in and the sailor'squarters flooded. The cask in which thedead Chinese was pickled broke adrift, andwhen the head came off the dead fisher- jman was washed into the scuppers. The |sailors did not know what to do, but |finallyone of them fastened a weight tothe remains and overboard it went.

The gale continued, and the Merom was jconstantly swept by heavy seas. Another jChinese died, and when it was proposedto throw him overboard a howl went Up.

The ''boss' 1 explained matters, however, !and the Mongolian was given a "white !man's burial," as the chief officer of the |Merom put it. That is, he was sewed un ;ina piece of canvas, with a lump of lead iat his feet. The caotain read the prayers,and as the words "Tillthe sea gives up its idead" were uttered the plank was tilted, 1

and the remains of the Chinese shot into jthe depths.

Inorder to prevent the seas from break-ingaboard while the ceremony was goingon, oil was poured over the bows of thebark, and itproved very effective.

Allthe fishermen did well this season,and in consequ-nce all were in good hu-mor when the Merom got into port Satur- jday.

The fteamer Cleone left yesterday after'

repairing her foremasthead. While lying i

at Westport on her last trip she got underthe mooring wire, and a sudden swell didthe damage. The repairs were made atMain-street wharf in this City.

Millions for California.

The editorial on the Stanford case in the i

News Letter to-day willstrike a chord of |."rtate patriotism. It discusses the de- Jcision of the United States Circuit Court jof Appeals, sustaining the demurrer of the ;defendant in the case of the Government :vs. Leland Stanford estate. The attitude !taken is surrounded with originality andcommon-sense. The downfall of the Popu-list party is another briiliant "leader,

"and their new light on the Mi!ler-Luxmillions, in the "Looker-on," with a lot ofgossip concerning Colonel J. A. Fillmoreand Page Brown's accidents, and JoaquinMiller's "Lost Beverage," and unwrittenhistory of General Keyes— all these arebits of gossip which willremind society toseek a further pace, where some recentweddings are discussed. The New Yorkgossip is tilled withbits of Californians' ad-ventures in Gotham, and the San Fran-cisco millionaire's purchase of a New Yorkpaper is among the exciting topics. Re-garding fashions, theaters, arts and music,nothing has been forgotten. The NewsLetter maintains the traditions of the bestEastern and European society journals.The chronicles of the Four Hundred arenever lacking, and are always delightfullyaccurate.

GOOD-BY NORMAL SCHOOL

The Board of Education Pre-paring to Close Its

Doors.

surprised • the teachers

No One Will Be Selected to

Fillthe Vacant Princi-PALSHIP.

The Normal School is gome to be abol-ished. That point was practically decidedat the special meeting of the Board of Edu-cation yesterday afternoon. The teachersincharge will be gradually transferred toother schools.

This is a surprise that the half-dozencandidates battling for the principalshipnever calculated on. Ever since the deathof Principal Kennedy there has been tire-less wirepulling to get the place, with its$250 a month salary. Among the candi-dates were W. W. Stone, principal of theSouth San Francisco Primary.; Richard D.Faulkner of the FranKlin Grammar, Prin-cipal Kellogg of the Boys' High School,Teacher MiltonE. Blanchard of the sameschool. Miss Jennie Smith of the Longfel-low Primary, Principal Mrs. Cclina R.Pechin of the Cooper Primary, Principal

Miss Emma Stinson of the Whittier Pri-mary, William S. Monroe of Pasadena and

'

Miss»Mary Kincaid, formerly principal ofthe school, principal Joseph O'Connor ofthe Horace Mann School was urged by his jfriends to enter the contest, but he gave as \an excuse that his present position wasperfectly satisfactory.

Several of the aspirants gathered in theanteroom of the Board of Supervisors'chambers yesterday afternoon, expecting jto be called inside to give their views on i

how the Normal School should be con-ducted and a fair estimate of their ownabilities to fillthe office of principal.

They laughed and chatted with oneanother and the first intimation they re-ceived of the big change incontemplationwas when the members of the board tiledout of executive session and made the an-nouncement.

There were nine members of the boardpresent and the sentiment wa3 almost |unanimous that it was better to close the ;'school under present circumstances. The

j few members who had candidates to pro- jpose were so hopelessly in the minority!and the chances of their candidates ap- jpeared so poor that nearly all of them fell jin line with the majority.

President Dodge announced that the'chief reason for closing the school was i

!economy. The City treasury is very low j\ at present, and the School Department is \u25a0

;sadly in need of funds to improve the\u25a0 schools condemned . by the Board of jIHealth. Two schools, the Richmond and jIthe Sutro, have been closed within a monthj on account of their very bad sanitary con-jdition. Ascore more of them are black-Ilisted, and the chances are that they will

be ordered closed unless steps are taken in Jthe very near future to remedy them. By:closing the Normal School the department \saves about $12,000 a year.

Another reason for closing the Normal jSchool at the end of the present term is thefact that there are three other Normalschools in the State, and this one is not an jurgent necessity. There are about 100 pu-pils there, and two-thirds of ihem comefrom other parts of the State. They canvery easily oe accommodated at the otherinstitutions.

Accordingly the programme at presentis to begin shaving the expenses of theNormal School. At the very first oppor-tunities offered the teachers will be trans-ferred toother schools. Miss Laura Fow leuthe vice-principal, willremain in charge,as at present, till the doors are locked.Later on there may be some plan of open-ing the building as a school of anotherclass. Nothing like this, however, will bediscussed till the fuifds at the disposal of

the School Department are materiallyincreased.

Thus ends the institution which Pro-fessor Voder camp out from the East towhipinto shape. Originally it was startedas a preparatory class for graduates of theGirl's High School who intended to becometeftcheri. The original idea was greatlyexpanded, and under Professor Voder andPrincipal Kennedy the institution be^an anew life. Now it seems it is not exactlywhat is demanded and the order has goneforth to close its doors.

MRS. BOOTH'S LECTURE.The Progress a»d Prospects of the Sal-

vation Army in America.

Mrs. Ballington Booth of the SalvationArmy lectured before a large and appre-ciative audience at Golden Gate Hall last

Ievening, the subject being "The progressand prospects of the Salvation Army inAmerica."

Mrs. Booth's address touched upon the] rescue work of the army in the slums of|New York, saying "that there was fully asj much abject poverty, crime and sin to bemet with in the metropolis of America asthere whs in the lowest, parts of 'Darkest

iEngland' and in 'Infidel Paris.'"

Inconclusion Mrs. Booth remarked thati she was now ready to enlist all frienas of. the army into the AuxiliaryLeague. The!league mentioned is composed of personsj who, without necessarily indorsing or ap-jproving of all the methods used by thej Salvation Army, are sufficiently in syra-ipathy with its work of reclaiming drunk-jards and rescuing fallen women as to giveiittheir prayers, influence and money.

Mrs. Booth will lecture at Metropolitanj Temple this evening, the subject being:i'

Women Warriors."

"The Wave."Decidedly The Wave is worth reading this

week. Inone place itupholds the supremacyof man over woman, and pleads eloquently thecause of capital against labor. It suggests theabolishment of the local Normal School, criti-ciE2S the Board of Education and is instructiveon Madagascar. Ithas stories of Wilton Lack-aye, the Bohemian Club and William Alvonl,and an interview with Barnabee of the Boston-ians. Another writer discourses on '-IdealWives." There are three s-onnets by L. R.Robertson and wittystoriettes under the headof "Ripples." Society is treated at length, andthere is a quantity of entertaining gossip.
