THE Youne WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN AsSOCIATION ENGAGED IN A LaBoR oF Love. * In the smoky, noisy neichborhood of First and Howard streets there is an in- viting oasis of rest and refreshment for young women and girls, where one would hardly hope to find it. Factories, foundries and boarding-houses for workingmen abound on all sides; the air is alive with signs of manufacturing and the streets with business of the iron district, and in ing the election laws by acting without au- thority as election officers. The opinion over- rules the motion to set aside the indictments. The cases are the same ones which Judge Bahrs decided to be illegal some time ago, but the opinions of Judge Belcher are now directed toward suhse(&uent indictments which, he be- lieves, charge different offenses. FIGHTING FOR A MINE. Testimony in the Case of the Sterretts Against Montgomery. The taking of testimony in the suit of Sterrett brothers against George S. Mont- gomery to cancel the contract for the sale of a mine at Canada Hill, Placer County, was commenced before Notary George T. Knox yesterday. It is charged against Montgomery that he never carried out his contract and that the Montezumd mine, in Tuolumne County, fifty shares of which he transferred to the Sterretts as a part of the considera- tion, is worthless. J. 8. Richards was put on the stand and examined by A. C. Ellis. The witness tes- tified that he knew tne Montezuma mine, and that it was of no value whatever. At this point he was withdrawn by the plain- tiffs, as they are anxious to first secure the testimony of the defendant, George S. Montgomery, who was not present. He will probably be examined to-day. “Montgomery said that we were anxious for a settlement of the case,” said Attorne Ellis, “while the fact is he has made all the overtures in that connection, Mont- gomery not only failed to carry out his TR SOENE IN THE YOUNG ‘WOMEN’S DINING-ROOM. [Sketched by a “Call” artist yesterday.] Y the midst of it all is an old-fashioned two- story dwelling where the Young Womern's Christian Association offer many induce- ments to girls at the lunch hour. Every girl or young woman working in factories for blocks around know all that can be known about the house, and many of them have good reason to appreciate its presence near where they work from morning until night. For them it is a noon-time clubhouse, with a dining-room, library and comfortable "apartments, .in which a very agreeable balf hour may be spent after a luncheon that costs 3 cents. The old house that had served many years as a dwelling is converted into a cozy meeting-place. he parlors are neatly furnished and well supplied with current literature, among whicE is a sprinkling of periodicals that especially interest women. n the rearroom isa piano and quitea variety of music, including hymn-books. Then “still further back iIs & spacious dining-room very neatly and cleanly kept and more inviling in appearance than many a restaurant uptown. At 11 A. M. the girls begin to arrive for luncheon, and an hour later they enter in a continuous stream. The lady in charge sells 5 or 10 cents’ worth ~df 1-cent tickets, each of which buys a dish, so that with five little checks a_nice luncheon can be had. Every day there is somethin new for luncheon, though always cooke in home fashion and served in homely style by girl waiters, who dress in white and look quite attractive as they move about, On Monday there is cold corned-beef with bread, butter and tea or coffee; on Tuesday, beef stew and potatoes; on Wed- nesclagé pork and beans; on Thursday, roast beef and mashed potatoes, and so on changing daily as meals at home would vary. The luncheon is quite as good as any served in modest homes at noon, a fact which the young women fully appreciate. And yet it costs but a cent fpr a meat dish, another for tea or coffee and a third for bread and butter. If the girls who take advantage of the dining-room and its ad- juncts should desire to take lunch in a res- taurant they would be compel uto walk several blocks to reach a proper place and then pay four o1 five times as much for the same fare. So they are very happy to have such a place in which to lunch. After refreshing themselves they spend the remainder of their noon hour in read- ing, while some of them may entertain the rest with music or song. And when they return to work again these young women feel the better for their pleasant associa- tions. 1t should not be imagined that there is any semblance of charity about the lunch- room. That branch is self-sustaining from the nickels and dimes of the girls. And being so the promoters are satisfied to fur- nish a reading-room and give night lessons in dressmaking, millinery and cooking. Of the hundred girls who o there at noon a large proportion take their own lunches from home and take tea or coffee with their companions. They all work in factories in the neighborhood, and it is a_relief to srend an hour in the company afforded by the house on Howard street. COMSTOCK MINE ELECTIONS, Annual Meetings of the Hale & Norcross and Potosi Companies. There were 107,200 shares of stock repre- sented at the annual meeting of the Hale & Norcross Company yesterday. The fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Colonel Nat T. Messer; secretary, A. B. Thompson, and superintendent, Joseph R. Ryan. The other directors are: Charles H. Fish, John W. Twiggs, W. S. Lyle, Her- man Zadig, William Edwards and Dr. Emil Cachat. The directors were in- structed and empowered, in case the Su- preme Court should affirm in whole or part the gudgmem of the Superior Court, awarding the Hale & Norcross Mining Company $1,011,000 in the M. W. Fox lit:- gation, to immediately declare a dividend to the shareholders, less a sufficient sum to pg&)all debts and to leave not_less than $25,000 in the treasury with which to de- velop the mine. The Potosi Mining Company also held its annual meeting yesterday, and 99,645 shares were represented. The old direc- tors, with A. K. P. Harmon as president, Charles E. Elliott secretary, and H. M. Gorham superintendent, were re-elected without opposition. Indictments Are Good. In pursuance of the oral opinion expressed some days ago Judge Belcher has filed a writ- ten opinion in each of the cases against George Lee and Albert Houston, charged with violat- contract, but he sold a large interest to a third party for $50,000 cash. Now, we have not received one cent out of the property, and we propose to make Montgomery walk the chalkline.” WE HAY SEE HER AS JULIET. Miss MARIE BURROUGHS WILL PROBABLY PLAY SHAKE- SPEARE HERE. Hovr Sti. Wite Us—ALL THE THEATERs Doing WELL THIiS WEEK. Miss Marie Burroughs is making a de- cided impression with the audiences of the Baldwin by her performance of Vashtiin “Judah.” She plays the part with intelli- gence and ease, and her beauty apd grace add materially to the charm of %the per- formance. ‘Judah” will be played during the remainder of the week and on Sunday night also, when a benefit will be tendered Louis A. Morgenstern, the treasurer and assistant manager of the house. Miss Bur- roughs’ engagement here has been so gratifying and successful that it is quite possible that she will play at the Baldwin again after her coast tour is completed, when she will present ““Romeo and Juliet.”” If that is so San Krancisco will be honored with Miss Burroughs’ first appearance in a Shakespearean role. - Next Monday night “The Fencing Master,” one of the latest operas by De Koven and Smith, will be seen at the Baldwin. The company is headed by Miss Dorothy Morton, a clever actress and a good vocalist, who has made a great hit in the leading role. Themusicof *“The Fenc- ing Master” is as catchy and tuneful as any one can desire, and 1s, at the same time, good music. The latter part and the finale of the second part are quite sugges- tive of grand opera and call for some really hard and accurate work from all the mem- bers of the company. The chorus hasbeen carefully trained and the costumes are picturesque and rich. Asfor the principals, very few comic opera companies take the road so well equipped in this respect. David Torrence, who sings the part of Fortunio, has a rich barytone voice which he uses well. William Stephens, the tenor, has been heard in comie opera for a good many years. The two comedians, Oscar Girard and A.-M, Holbrook, are clever and amusing. There isno dimination in the houses at the California Theater, where “A Temper- ance Town’’ still holds the boards. This is the last week of Mr. Hoyt’s comedy, aud on Monday night Miss Emily Bancker will ;}l)pegf in" the merry farce entitled “Our “Humpty Dumpty” and the “Black Crook” pleased another large audience at Stockwell’s last night. Both pieces are full of clever specialties. The dancing is particularly good. “The Clemencean Case,” as presented by the Charles Riggs Company at the Alcazar, has made a hit. It is well handled by the company, Beginning Monday next the sensational society drama, “The Froth of Society,” will be the bill. Itisa play on the order of “The Second Mrs. ’l‘:m ue- ray.” The theme is bold, but it is handled with exceeding delicacy, and it isa good example of dramatic construction. he same play was seen in this city before, but never at popular prices. It will be pre- sented by the entire company. At the Tivoli “Girofle-Girofla” is doing well. “Nanon” will be sung on Monday niiht. e 11 of the specialty people at the Or- pheum have made a hit, and the house is crowded every night. ‘Pocahontas” is the programme at the ‘Wigwam, where many people are pleased at every performance. “A Temperance Town’ will_be played for three nights, commencing Monday, at the Macdonough Theater, Oakland. The attractions to follow are “The Fencing lIg{]asttfir,” Marie Burroughs and “‘Our at. “In the Ranks” is crowding Morosco's Grand Opera-house every nigbg. The per- formance is one of the most creditable ever given at this house. —————— The Baltimore and Ohio belt line tunnel, at Baltimore, which is six miles long, cost the railroad company $7,000,000. ——————— REVERIES of Florence, the great actor, in the smoke of an Almighty-dollar Cigar, . A MOTHER'S SEARCE FOR HER CHILD, UNHAPPY ENDING OF MRS. CLARA HARPER'S MATRIMONIAL VENTURE. DESERTED BY HER HUSBAND. He Took HER MonNEY AND DE- cAaMPED WITH HEer Four- YEAR-OLD Bov. “Tam in this city in search of my hus- band and son,” said Mrs. Clara Harper of Sterling, Nebr., to Secretary McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children yesterday, Mrs. Harper is about 40 years of age and, according to her story, has been in San Francisco for a week looking for the man whom she married five years ago and who recently deserted her. She was convinced that he had fled to this city and that he was in hiding here with her boy, a bright child of 4 years. The story told by Mrs. Harper proved to be one of unusual interest. She married her husband five years ago in a little coun- try town in Missouri, where he wasem- ployed as clerk in a store. “I was on a visit to my sister when I met him,” said she, “and he appeared to take a liking to me at once. He paid me some at- tention, and exactly four weeks after our meeting he proposed marriage. 1 had found him to be a gentleman in every re- spect and he was he%d in high esteem by all who knew him. “Before my visit ended we became man and wife, and 1 was congratulated on all sides upon what appeared to be such ha};py nuptials. It was not long, however, before I discovered that it was not myself that my husband loved, but that $3000 which I bad in bank attracted him far more. In fact he married me in order to become possessed of the money, as subse- quent develovmentsgroved. 41 returned to Sterling, Nebr., near which my farm is located. My husband, who was a practical farmer, readily took charge of the place and manifested great interest in all that pertained to me.” He treated me with marked kindness, and showed me such attentions in public that I was soon_ envied by other women who were less happily mated. “I was yet to learn the real character of the man to whom I was bound for life. One day he received a letter which matle him very sad. He said it was a peremptory demand for $800 from a man in New York, who threatened to sue him if the money was not paid within two weeks. That sum, he stated, was due the claimant on an old account which had been running for years. There were circumstances in connection witlf the case, he affirmed, which, if made public in court proceed ings, would inevitably ruin him in the estimation of his and my friends. *“Well, to make the story brief as possihle, I paid him the money, and he placed a Judas kiss upon my lips in fayment. He swore I had saved not only his reputation but his life as well. I was happy to think that I had done my husband such a ser- vice, and thoughtno more of the affair until a year later, when another demand for $800 was made upon him. We had a stormy scene, and my husband confessed that he had used the money I had given him for another purpose, but what he ab- BOIB Ty rafasedlls tello e Bl o =riepect that something -was wrong, and flatly re- {luslid to pay any more money on his be- alf. “My husband then began to abuse me shamefully. One night he took up a shot- gun and threatened to kill me unless I gave him the money he demanded. On another occasion he knocked me down and kicked me s0 brutally that I was unable to leave my bed for four days.” Mrs. Harper states that this brutality on her husband’s part was manifested con- Mrs. Clara Harper, [From o photograph.j tinually for several months, and she finally made up her mind to leave him. Harper promised to reform, but his agreement was broken atthe endof a few months, and life became almost unbearable to the unhappy’ wife and mother. She thought several times of suing for a divorce, but the fear of publicity prompted her to suffer in silence. “Early in January last,” said Mrs. Har- per, “I drew $600 from the bank, with the intention of purchasing some stock and farm implements of a neighbor. My hus- band knew of the transaction, and early on Saturday evening left the house, saying that he intended to go to town for supplies. Iretired, as usual, with my child in his crib at the side of my bed,and whep I awoke it was daylight. I looked for my child, but his crib was empty. I searched for my husband, but he was nowhere to be seen. " 1 then realized that something ter- rible had occurred, and in my wild searc| I found this letter upon my "bureau, writ- ten by my husband, apparently in great haste: The end has come and we are quits. We were never happily married, and further association would result in misery to both of us. I take our boy with mc, feeling that I am better pre- pared o care for him than you. For the pres- ent 1 keep my destination’ a secret from you, but I promise you to let you know of our where- abouts within a few weeks. Being without funds I have found it necessary to take the money which you drew from bank yesterday, feeling confident that you will not object when Iassure you that it will be expended in the interests of our dariing boy. Now don't worry, t, everything will turn out all right in the gxexd. Good- . -by. Mrs. Harper, half crazed over the affair, sought in every direction for information concerning her runaway husband, and was finally informed that & man answering his description and carrying a boy about four g:nn of age had been seen” on a west- und overland train, near Cheyenne. She then recalled that Har%er once told her he had relatives in California, and she de- termined to come to this city and pursue her search. All About a Dog. A. L. Knott, locksmith, 624 Post street, was at the North Beach a few days ago and threw a stick into the water to give his dog & swim. Joseph Mauer, a barber, at 10 Third street, was standing beside Krott and protested that Knott was acting cruelly toward his dog. Knott told him to mind bis own business. Yes- terday morning Knott was again at the beach and went through the same performance. Mauer happened also to be there and he pro- | tested by striking Knott over the head with his cane. Knott went to the City Hall and swore outa warrant for Mauer's arrest on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. NON-INTEREST, BEARING BONDS. ‘What Is Thought of the Proposition to Issue Such. C. C. Terrill of the Builders’ Exchange, when asked what he thought of the propo- sition laid before a committee of the Boara of Supervisors to issue $1,000,000 of non- interest-bearing bonds, receivable for taxes, to create a fund to hire the unemployed, said: “This is a new question to me, but Iwill say I am not in favor of issuing any interest-bearing bonds to pay for any city work or improvement, except such as will bring a return to the city, such as the purchase of water works, gas works and the like. I am in favor of issuing non- | interest-bearing bonds in any sum that may be required to put our streets and sewers in good condition, but I should not like to see money so raised used to make improvements that are not to be a benefit to the general public.” ‘ F. H.g Dohrmann of the San Francisco Merchants’ Association, in reference to the demand for non-interest-bearing bonds, said that while he had not had time to study the proposition, he thought thatto 1ssue such, to provide funds to hire the un- employed, would be establishing a bad pre- cedent. “If such a course were pursued and it became known that bonds would issue every time there were unemployed men in this city, why men would crow from everywhere. A matter of that mag- nitude requires great deliberation and care- ful consigemtion. If bonds are to be is- sued, let them be issued in such sums as are required for public improvements that are absolutely needed, and let_the authori- ties give employment to residents of San Francisco only, as our association has done, giving married men the preference, and that will go a great way toward set- tling the problem of the unemployed.” WILL END WITH BEETHOVEN. THE BONN MASTER'S SEVENTH SYMPHONY CLOSES THE SERIES To-NIGHT. Bur PorPuLAR Music WiILL STILL BE HEARD AT THE AUDI- TORIUM. As things stand at present this evening’s performance at the Auditorium is to be the last symphony concert given this sea- son by the Metropolitan Musical Society. Those musical people who have been con- spicuous by their absence throughout the series have, therefore, only one more chance of discovering what a rare treat they have been missing. The lack of attendance at Dvorak’s “From the New World,” which was given two weeks ago, showed that novelties have not the power to draw, and novelties prove expensive luxuries when the box-office re- ceipts are so small that the cost of procur- ing orchestral scores alone makes a big hole in them. To-night’s concert, there- fore, will consist ofy Beethoven’s seventh symphony; Grieg’s overture, “In Au- tumn,” and Tschaikowsky’s “Nutcracker’” suite, all of which were listened to with keen satistaction by a verylimited audience atthe public rehearsal yesterday afternoon. The Beethoven symphony was better played than when the Beethoven cycle drew such crowds to the Metropolitan Temple a year ago. There was a finish, a security and a perfect sympathy between the conductor and his men that were not 5o conspicuous then, dropped out at the end of last season, it is true, but Scheel has had time to wield his present orchestra with his own mold and to stamp it with his own ability. One scarcely noticeable slip made by the reeds in the allegretto was all that marked yes- terday’s performance as savoring at all of arehearsal. ‘What brilliancy and verve Scheel gave to the ‘“nutcracker” suite! The fairy gracefulness of the light dances and the characteristic dash of the forte passages made Tschaikowsky's delightful music almost iuwxicatini. Poor “Nutcracker” suite! It has been heard in 8an Francisco under many auspices; some of them enongh to kill its popularity forever. Yes- terday, though, it vindicated its character ‘William Harper. [From a photograph.) and shone forth in its true colors—if tone- painting can be calied colors. Grieg’s rugged but beautiful overture, “In Autumn,” though in many respects the antithesis of the dainty Tschaikowsky suite, received just as characteristic a ren- derini. On Friday afternoon there will be a great gathering of ladies at the Auditorinm, and 1n addition to hearing a concert, those who attend will probably have an opportunity of hearing what some prominent men, connected with the Metropolitan Musical Society, have to say about the support af- forded musical enterprisein thiscity. The members of the society are still anxious to continue labors, however, in the spirit of true musical missionaries. On Friday evening Miss Marie B. Wil- son, a very young girl who is said to be a coming pianiste, wili play two solos. Saturday evening will be a popular con- cert, and Sunday will be “Irish National Night.” M. E. LOST HER SATCHEL. Claude Lee, the Mother of Henry Mac- donald, in Bad Luck. Phil Brown, a gambler, is under arrest on suspicion of having stolen a small satchel belonging to Claude Lee, the mother of young Henry Macdonald, the illegitimate son of the late Captain Mac- donald. She was in the rear room of the saloon 3812}4 Grant avenue about 3 o’clock Tues- day morning with Patsy Griffin, a gam- bler. She missed her pet dog, and ran out of the saloon followed by Griffin in search of it, leaving the satchel on the table. ‘When she returned the satchel was gone. She said it contained $1000 worth of dia- monds. Brown was in the saloon at the time, and had also disnpgennd when she returned from her search for the dog. He was ar- rested on Tuesday night, but no charge has yet been preferred against him. De- tective Coffeyjis working on the case, Good performers® GAPTURED FAR * FROM HIS HOME. ALEXANDER WILKINSON, A MINER, ARRESTED AT THE RACE- TRACK. WANTED AT SALT LAKE CITY. HE Was INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY AND ALTERATION OF Barvrors. Chief Crowley received a dispatcet™from Deputy United States Marshal T. H. Bal- lantyne of Ogden, Utah, on February 22, to arrest Alexander Wilkinson who was wanted there on the charge of conspiracy. Detective Ross Whittaker, was detailed on the case, but it was not until yesterday afternoon that he was able to locate Wilk- inson. He found him at the racetrack, and with the assistance of Policeman O’Dea placed him under arrest. Deputy Marshal Ballantyne was informed by telegraph of the arrest last night. Wilkinson arrived here on February 24, and has since been trying unsuccessfully to find employment. Then he began to haunt the racetrack in the hope of getting something to do. He is a miner by occu- pation and about 28 years of age. Wilkinson, with two others, W lliam W. Edwards and Parley Gordon of Ogden, were indicted by the Grand Jury of Salt Lake last month for conspiracy and altera- tion of ballots in the room of the canva ing board at the Utah Commission build- ing, Salt Lake, on November 25 and 27, after the board had decided to go into the Weber County ballot-boxes and brought them to Salt Lake. » The scheme was to elect H. C. Gilbert, Democrat, over T. B. Hurlbut, Republican, who were running for the office of County Collector of Weber County, and as there were only a few votes to overcome, Hurl- but’s majority lmvinf been in the neigh- borhood "of thirty, the conspirators used pasters for M. H. Thomas Pol.)ulist, on Re- publican tickets cast for Hurlbut, in order to cut down the latter’s vote and throw the election to Gilbert. When the canvassers opened the boxes and discovered the frauds they refused to accept the recount. Edwarde and Gordon were arrested in Ogden, but Wilkinson scented trouble and disappeared. e, Senator Warren owns 2000 horses.
