N INCIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF| THE CRACK SAILING SHIP ! e | R'S PRESENTIMENTS. | A MOTHE DRIFTING FOR DAYS IN A SQUADRON UNDESIRABLE ICE- BERGS. The ship Elwell, which recently lowered the round-trip speed time between this port and Nanaimo to a little less than nineteen days, was built at Newcastle, | Matne, in 1875, and came to this coast in 1894. She left San Francisco February 19, reached Cape Flattery the 24th and | tors advice the police patrol wagon was sent for with the purpose in view of send- ing Hurley to the Receiving Hospital, wllxlere he might be confined in a padded cell. ‘‘That Hurley finally went clean crazy,” said Chief San.{e last evening, ‘‘is no sur- prise. He has been acting queerly for three weeks past. He was at times m}n . and then again he would become violent and try to batter his head against the stone wall. That seemed to be his mania. ‘“Yesterday morning his cellmates re- ported that three times did Hurley try to butt his head against the wall of cell 45, but they restrained him. Itwasa common thing for the other prisoners to refer to Hurley as ‘Nutty.’ When he lay in the corridor I had a hard struggle with him. He threw himself backward several times in trying to batt his head against the wall. “After we got him calmed down he seemed to have a dread that we were going to put the irons on him. In taking him downstairs to the patrol wagon he was ?uie( until it came to going into the wagon. {e then jumped back, crying ‘irons,” and seemed to think that he was to be ironed. ‘At last we got him into the wagon, and he sat quietly between two of was driven away. 1do not think there is the least doubt of the genuineness of his i y. At the time he made his out- break in the corridor, his attorney had just called to see him.” During his confinement Hurley has been visited by his wife and several iriends quite frequently. He has, however, shown s as he | /00D DINNERS AT SHALL COST. | THERE IS NOREASON WHY PEOPLE SHOULD GO HUNGRY IN THis CITY. MEALS FOR FIFTEEN CENTS. A Visit To SoME CIty TAURANTS AND ITs RE- SULTS.

As an economic proposition the THE CRACK SAILING SHIP ELWELL ENTERING SAN FRANCISCO BAY. [Sketched for the “Call” by W. A. Coulter.) N her return, she arrived in this port on the 10th. The vessel is 212 feet in length, 39.1 | beam and 2{ feet in depth, and registers 1338 tons net. She is commanded by Cyrus Ryder, who wins a $100 prize given by the company for record-breakages. ! he Elwell is an old Cape Horn rounder | and has been in close touch with the many perils that menace the ship beating her | way by that tempestuous point of land. During ove of her voyages she was be- calmed for several days in latitude 50 | South Atlantic in the midst of a cluster of icebergs. There not a breath of wind and the ship and bergs drifted together. | The great masses of ice were so numer- | ous and so near the vessel that she seemed | frozen through and through, and the men could hardly venture on deck for fear of | I‘wrishinp h cold. Only by a miracle | did the vessel escape being dashed to pieces | against the floating ice, or being crushed | by the big crystal bowlders that would be- | come detached from the body of the bergl and fall into th A Nothing could be done to extricate them- | selves from their perilous situation, and | the Elwell floated and froze until the usual Cape Horn gale sprang up and drove her | cool and unwelcome company away. In 1892 the Elwell on a voyage from New York to San Francisco, then com- manded by Captain Barstow, spoke the bark | Norris, bound for Newport News mand of Barstow’s son. Two years aiter- 2 8 g gmward the Elwell and Norris again met on | the ocean not far from the place of the | former meeting. Captain Barstow and | his wife boarded their son’s ship and spent the day, the two vessels lying to during the family reunion. During that midocean meeting Mrs. | Barstow became impressed with the idea | that the two ships would not meet a third | time. This conviction so worked upon hermind that she spoke of it, and notwith- | standing the absence of any grounds for such a relief her husband also became con- | vinced of some impending disaster, and | they went back to their ship feeling that they would never again see their son. | The Norris squared her yards, dipped her colors in farewell, passed on bound for | Barcelona, Spain, and was never heard of | again. The bark and all hands undoubt- edly went down soon after parting from the ship, as she was in the track of many | vessels sailing across the Atlantic. When the Elwell reached S8an Francisco the news | of the bark’s loss came not unexpectedly to Captain and Mrs. Barstow, so fully con- | vinced were they that that parting on the | ocean was final. BECAME INSANE IN JALL HURLEY, THE ALLEGED JURY- BRIBER, CREATES A SENSATION FOR THE SHERIFF. REMOVED TO THE RECEIVING HospI- TAL AND PLACED IN THE PappeD CELL. The old County Jail on Broadway had a sensation yesterday which disturbed the ordinary routine of the institution for sev- eral hours. It happened about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Captain Webb, who was on watch, informed Chief Jailer Sattle that William J. Hurley, whois confined in the jail pending his trial for attempting to | bribe jurors in the McDonald case, had | gone completely crazy. A Hurley ]\J\'as cznfined in cell 45, with sev- eral other prisoners, and an effort was | made to bring him to the chief’s office for examination. He fell in the corridor, | however, and it took all Chief Sattle’s | strength to prevent him from beating his | brains out on the hard floor. i | He was finally subdued and quieted and removed to the office, where & physician who had been hastily summoned ad- ministered a soothing preparation which calmed Hurley’s excited nerves. 'His eyes continued to roll, though, ina wild man- ner, and he muttered incoherent nothings. Sheriff Whelan was sent for, and when | he arrived he examined Hurley closely for an hour or more. It was thought at first that the prisoner might be feigning mad- ness, but finally all those who were watch- ing the writhing features and actions of the man were convinced that there was no shamming about the insanity. A consultation was held and by the doc- ceration, but, on the contrary, continued to mope and apparently brood over his predicament. At the Receiving Hospital Hurley was placed in a padded cell, where he would find it impossible to crack his skull agains: anything hard, try as he would. vill be examined by the Lunacy Commission- ers to-morrow morning. The crime with which he is charged i: approaching jurors who had been selected to try Richard H. McDonald Jr. for per jury in connection with the Pacific Bank’s annual statement for 1892. He made over- tures to his jurors, it was charged,and had boasted that he could sway the jury, when the matter was called to Judge Murphy's attention and he took prompt measures to have Hurley placed behind the bars. DECEIVED BY A NEWSPAPER. MEN LURED FROM THEIR HOMES BY PROMISES OF PLENTY IN GUATEMALA. THE CONSUL FOR THE SOUTHERN RepuBLIC Says IT Was ‘WHoLLY UNTRUE. George Womwell, with his son Charles, a lad aged 15 years, arrived yesterday from Houston, Tex., with the expectation of going from this port to Central America. George Womwell and His Son Charles. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.} He had read an article in a San Francisco paper, published several weeks ago which stated that emigrants were wanted in Guatemala and that the Government of that country was willing to give free pass- | age to that place and would furnish new | settlers with land, cattle and money needed for raising coffee. Upon his arrivalin this city Mr. Womwell called on Senqor Miguel Carillo, Consul-General of Guatemala, and was informed that the statement was | wholly untrue, and that no person had been authorized to make such representa- tions. The Consul further stated that he had been overrun with hundreds of people call- ing for information regarding this fietitious | story of Guatemala’s munificent offer, and that letters containing the same request had been pouring into his office. “I cannot understand,” said Senor Carillo, “why such misrepresentations have been published. Many poor people have visited this city to make inquiries re- garding them, entailing a hardship upon them and trouble upon myself. I gave no knowledge of any such offer being pro- posed by my Government, and I know there is no call for immigration on those terms. Only persons with abundant capi- tal could think of succeeding as planters there. I have been compelled to issue a circular denying this story.” Mr. Womwell is & poor man, about 65 years of ago, and a millwright by trade, | and having left his employment and the rest of his family in Houston to take ad- vantage of the alleged offer, finds himself in annoying circumstances. “I am _a pioneer of this coast, having come to the State in 1848, said the disap- ointed old man. *‘Iam stopping at the hat Cheer House, where 1{““’ up years ago when Woodward was the proprietor. It has cost me $80 to ge¢ here and now I suppose I'll bave to try to get back.” anaimo the 26th. Sailing March 3 on | no signs of cheerfulness since his incar- | 15-cent dining parlor isan important factor in San Francisco. Nowhere else in the | United States can such complete, ample | and entirely satisfying dinners be secured for the modest sum of 15 cents. And the strange part of it to the uninitiated is how the purveyors of these meals manage to | make a living profit. Still stranger is th | fact that most of them do a thriving busi- | ness, own bank accoynts, buy real estate and are prosperous citizens generally. There are three-cornered mealsto be had | for 15 cents as well as “‘square” meals. | These generally consist of one kind of meat, potatoes, coffee and breaa and but- | ter, and are invariably served to order. | But the most gratifying and satisfactory | repast for the hungry man with a six- i hour avpetite urging him to action is the | regular 15-cent breakfast, lunch or dinner. E Laboring men of all classes, and thousands | | of others who are interested in the econo- mics that must be studied by those who | live bv their daily toil, have been forced to admit thatif a poor man cannot live | without going hungry in San Francisco he | is too poor, not only 1n pocket but in gen- | eral make-up and rustling capacity, to con- i sume substance and occupy space on any part of the earth’s surface. While it would see m that thels-cent | meal, complete in all requirements for a | healthy and_hungry man or woman, is | cheap enough for the most penurious and | impecunious, there are many more aston- | ishing innovations in the serving of foods | in S8an Francisco. Competition under the 15-cent limit has of late been driven so | close and hard that many enterprisin, | caterers, determined to cun—g the Yi(e of trade to the farthest possible limit in se- | curing patronage, have gone so far as to establish the 10-cent meal, with which is served a pint bottle of native wine if the customer prefers it to coffee, tea or milk. | There are in this city a number of places | where the regular 50-cent French dinner is almost duplicated for 10 cents, the princi- pal difference being in the furnishings and | surroundings of the service. These places have a long list of dishes to choose from, and for 10 cents the patrons have soup, fisk:, ickles, salad, two kinds of meat, two inds of vegetables, bread, butter, cheese, coffee, tea or wine. The dining-rooms are usually roomy, well aired, clean and well lighted. The tables are generally covered with white oilcloth, and are kept clean at all times. The table service, asa rule in all of the cheap restaurants, is com- | plete, neat and clean. | But it must not be inferred that the | limit of expenditure in the 10-cent and | 15-cent restaurants is irrevocably fixed | at a dim ora dime and a half. Allof them, | or nearly all, are prepared to serve meals | cooked to order, and an epicure can spend | a dollar as easily as he can a *long bit” if | he feels so inclined. The cheap restaurant | is by no means patronized exclusively by | poor laboring men as many suppose. | Merchants, bankers, lawyers, newspaper | reporters, editors, clerks and salesmen and brokers with fat incomes are not above slipping into the 15-cent restaurant for alunchor adinner. The fact that a man can be as well fed for 15 cents, or even fora dime, as he can fora quarter or 50 cents is the all important consideration | during these times, and tips the scale in | favor of the cheapest place without injury | to*‘»ersonal pride or social standing. our well-to-do citizens were yesterday nduced to make an investigation of what kind of a meal could be obtained for 15 cents among the ordinary restaurants of the city. I chose for my dining-place the “New Vigilant,” a restaurant and oyster-house at 108 Fourth street. I entered and took a seat mext to a very hungry hod-carrier, Directly opposite sat one of the directors of a well-known corporation. When the waiter called for my order I told him I wanted a regular 15-cent dinner. ‘‘Yes, sir; have soup?"”’ I nodded affirmatively. After the soup had been brought I could have fish, two kinds of meat, two kinds of vegetables, R_udding or Eie and coffee; tea or milk. he dinner which I ordered and which was well served was as follows: Vegetabie sou&,,. salmon, roast beef, masbed potatoes, boiled cabbage, sago pud- ding, bread, butter, pickles and a cup of excellent coffee. The table was clean, well supplied with spices and other condiments, napkins and toothpicks. The dishes which I ordered were weil laden—so well in fact that I could not eat all that was set before me. All of the food was well prepared and tasteful. In short, it was a complete meal, entirely | @ i satisfactory for my wants and all for the sum of 15 cents. The complete bill of fare of this estab- lishment was as follows: 8OUP. Scotch Broth. Vegetable. Bouillon. FISH. Salmon. Smelts. Halibut. BOILED. Ribs of Beef, Spanish. ~Chicken, Cream Sauce. Fried Chicken on Toast. ROASTS. Mutton. Pork. Beei. Veal with Dressing. Chicken and Green Peas. ENTREES. Stewed Beef and Turnips. Stewed Lamb, Curry and Rice. Corned Beef and Cabbage. Breast of Lamb and Hot Slaw. © Pork Sausage and Hot Stew. Sirloin of Beef and Potatoes. Hamburg Steak aud Onions. Liver and Bacon. Sausage a Ia Creole, DESSERT. Peaches and Cream. Cheese. New Honey. Rhubarb Sauce. Apple Sauce. PUDDINGS. Rice Custard. Rhubarb Roll. VEGETABL! Stewed Corn. String Beans. Stewed Tomatoes. Caulifiower. Hot Slaw. PIES. Mince. Lemon. Apple. Blackberry. Peach. At Ellis’ bakery, 22 and 24 Second street, the hungry can obtain sou{;, fish, meats and vegetables, with bread, butter, coffee, tea or milk for ‘the regulation price of 15 cents. The “New World” restaurant, 138 Fourth street, serves a square meal for the popu-. lar price. The patron can have his choice from a long list of dishes of meats and vegetables; for instance, soup, fish, roast beef, potatoes, string beans, bread, butter, coffee or tea. It is well served. The California restaurant, 44 Fourth street, is presided over byfi A. Swan, the joneer of cheap mealsin San Francisco. {e presents a long bill of fare of edibles well prepared and_serves a good meal for 10 cents. He sells eleven meal tickets for $1. Other restaurants that serve complete and satisfactory meals for 15 cents which came under my observation are the ‘“New Capitol,” 204 and 206 Fourth street; Sand- rey & Koskey’s, 495 Fourth street; the “Transfer restaurant,” 153 Third street; Reagan’s restaurant, 57 and 59 Third street; Rosenberg & Co., 36 Second street; a chophouse at 113 ond _ street, another of the same kind at Third street and a family restaurant at 50 Third street. I found that all of the places named serve soup, two kinds of meat, an abun- dance of vegetables, bread, butter, pickles, and coffee, tea or milk, for 15 cents. And the hungriest man will depart with his ap- petite appeased. I went to 614 Clay street. Taking a seat at one of the tables arranged for patrons I \awaited the bill of fare. Hardly had the red-ribbed oilcloth table-cover dawned upon me before a heaping plate of cut bread, fully a loaf and a half, was placed in front of me and a gentlemanly voice inquired, “What will you have, sirr A full dinner, sir?”” “Yes, that will do,” I answered, while gazing upon the sign at the rear end of the room which read *‘Full dinners 10 cents, wine or beer included.” The full dinner was heralded by soup. ‘While disposing of this concoction I was nabled to analyze its contents and view | my fellow-creatures who dined upon a Saturday night for 10 cents. Immediately in front of me and helping himself to the plate of bread, which was fast disappear- ing under the mastication of my ncighbor ana seit, was a longshoreman, who sipped his wine with an air of a connoisseur. He was thoroughly posted on the question of *living” and freely gave me a few pointers regarding San Francisco restaur- ants. He said: “Say. You ain’t onto yourself. See? Tfyou was ye'd tackle this place every day. Why, I come here right along when I has the stuff, and when I ain’t, why T just jollies. See? Watch de guy what comes here. Say, Tom, fetch us a full lay- out, will ye, and don’t be too long about it yether.” With that the waiter departed and returned with soup for my neighbor, and a dish of stewed beef, with rich gravy sprinkled with carrots for myself. This I supposed was the ‘full lay-out’’ called for, but a few moments later a big slice of mut- ton, tender as could be, was placed on the table, in front of me, as a portion of the “lay-out.” Wine in bottles was deposited in front of each individual, unless he called for coffee, tea or beer. No checks were given. Neither was any butter, because as my fellow-feeder said: *‘What does yes want for 10 cents?” A little girl, wearing dark lasses to protect her innocent eyes from the poverty-stricken features of the patrons of the house, received the two nickels 1 laid on the counter with a polite ‘‘Thank ou,” and then went to filling the small ttles of wine which have helped to make the place so popular. V%ile the place at 614 Clay sireet hasa reputation among certain classes for a “big feed for 10 cents’’ the houses across the street are receiving a fair share of the patronage. Little difference is found in any of the 10-cent places on Clay street, unless perhaps the giving of butter in some of them might so be termed. Along Commercial street it is different. Here are found the lodging-houses, where a bed can be secured for almost nothing,while meals served in the 10-cent restaurants are equal to and above the surrounding cir- cumstances. The 10-cent restaurant has become such a favorite among the habitues of the ‘“city proper” that Sacramento, Clay, Kearny and Commercial streets are lined with them. 1f any one has any doubt regarding this and desires to satisfy hunger for one dime he will only have to visit 615 or 533 Commercial or 623 or 616 Sacramento or 621, 626, 635 Washington street to demon- strate the truth of the statement that for 10 cents a person can secure a good square meal. If any one wants to spend more than that he can go to 425 Pine, 649 Sacramento, 615 Commercial, 624 Pacific, %7 Kearny or 810 Kearny, where 15 cents will secure " suf- ficient food to more than satisfy hunger. French dinners are popular. These can be had, a la carte, for 25 cents, either at 509 Bush, where true French dinners are served in the privacy of the basement known as the Gambetta restaurant, presided over by a petite woman, or 434 Bush, 328 Bush, 423 Pine, 61614 California (where Bohemiany congregate), 617 Montgomery or 706 Mont- gomery, where either froglegs or maca- roni may be had in French or Italian dishes. Any one of the restaurants named will furnish a man a meal for two bits or less, according to the place he may visit; but for a hungry man whose resources are limited and “for whom economy means continuation of life, the 10-cent meals of San Francisco will fill the bill and give satisfaction. The Palo Alto cafe is a cheerful little restaurant, located at 304 Grant averue. Itis not especially gorgeous in appear- ance, but it is thoroughly neat. It is com- posed of one large room, which is divided by a low partition which nearly hides the view of one set of diners from the other. One side is for gentlemen and the other for ladies, as the legends indicate. Though unpretentious as to size, many people ap- pease their appetites there during the twenty-four hours, for it is open day and night. It attracts trade, not only on ac- count of its central locality, but because of the clh_gapuess and cleanliness of the food suy led. hen I entered, a neat-looking, middle- aged lady approached, and with a be- coming smile bowed me to a seat. She then deftly placed a bill of fare in my hands, as I inquired: ‘What can you give me for 15 cents?" “Don’t you see,’’ she replied, ‘‘that is all a meal costs here, unless you want extras.” “Well, then, what do I get?” “‘Rice-tomato soup to begin with, and then iflo’l'l may order what you want from the bill. There was enough to select from to please almost any one. The bill read as tollows: SOUP. Rice-tomato. ENTREES. Roast Pork. Stuffed Veal and Egg. Lamb Potpie. Hambureer Steak (Spanish). Boiled Beef (horseradish sauce). Fried Brains. Tripe in any style. Rice Cusiard Pudding. T ordered a plate of sonp, which more thnn came up to expectations, then roast rork with mashed potatoes, and the quan- ity served was enough to satisfy the appe- tite of the hungriest man in town; a“cup of good coffee was also servea, and custard pudding concluded the repast. The sum of 15 cents was all that was demanded. After settling the bill T asked: ““Madam, does this pay you?” ‘“Yes sir; you see, I do nearly all my own work, and by that means I manage to make both ends meet very readily. You see, I feel the dull times a little, bat not so much as those whe keep dearer eating- houses.” “How is that?” “Well, when people cannot pay 25 or 50 cents for a meal they must of necessity seek cheaper places. They must eat, you know, of course,”” and she went about clear- ine away the dishes. D. J." Murphy has presided over the modest little eating-house at 149 Seventh street for the past eleven years, and in that time has managed to lay by some- Corned Beef Hash thing for a rainy day by serving cheap | meals. His good wife does the cooking and a waitress and dishwasher are all the other help employed. Soups, roasts, pie or pudding, with " tea, coffee or wine, i3 what vou get for the vrice, together with vegetables, fresh bread and butter and a potato salad. Tasked him if he had ex- perienced any hard times during the winter, and he cheerfully said no. “Nor have T lost any money,” he observed. ‘‘be- cause I only trust those that I know.”" Antone Russell is the new proprietor of the old stand at 131 Seventh street. Hereto- fore he has been the manager of hich- priced restaurants, but since marrying he resolved to own a place of his own. He prides himself on his souns, and insisted that Ishould trv some. His regular din- rer did not differ from the others very materially. The new Popular restaurant at 110914 Sutter street conveys the impression of a very high-priced establishment, vet they serve an elegant 15-cent meal, and charm- ing waiter-girls do the work. “You can get a meal here for 15 cents that will satisfy the greatest epicure,” said Charles Stewart, who keeps a restaurant at, 1077 Market street. “I have been here for eighteen months, and prior to that con- ducted an eating-house on Great Jones street, New York, where my waiters got into the habit of singing out, ‘A stack of whites with a collar and draw one,’ but that kind of thing don’t go here.” Acting upon the proposition that an ex- cellent dinner would be served here for cents, I sat down at a table near the door, and among others who crowded the restau- rant, partook of the bill of fare, which consisted of the following: BOUP. Rice Tomato. Bean. FISH. Fried Sole. Fried Flounder. ROAST MEATS. Roast Chicken and Jelly. Young Veal. Roast Beef. Spring Lamb, ENTREES. Fried Chicken, Cream. Chicken Fricassee. Corn Beef and Cabbage. Lamb Tongue, Tomatoes. Corn Beef Hash. Pork and Beans. Liver and Bacon. VEGATABLES. Apple Fritters. Green Peas. Sugar Corn. Stewed Tomatoes. Mashed Turnips. PUDDING AND PIE. Tapioca Pudding. Stewed Prunes. Corn Starch and Cream. Baked Cream. Stewed Rhubarb. Apple, Lemon, Squash, Custard. I ordered every course on the menu and found that they were served in, really, an excellent manner. The service was clean, waiters courteous and neat, and even the napkins spoke of good management. Mr. Stewart told me that there was no reason in the world why any one should complain because a good meal could not be obtained for less than 25 or 50 cents. He said that in his experience in New York and San Francisco he was able to attest the fact that a good square dinner could be served for the sum of 15 cents. M. C. Milcerith, who conducts the Saratoga restaurant at 820 Larkin street, said: : My price for a dinner Is 25 cents, but any one can get all they want for 15 or 20 cents. have a large City Hall trade, and these people generally take everything on the bill. F. P. Fenton, manager of the Western oyster-house at 1210 Polk street, said: We can serve a good substantial measl, either breakfast, dinner or supper, for 15 cents. Our regular price is 25 cents, but one does not need to order the full bill. C. P. Harrison of 1224 Hyde street said: I have conducted a restaurant at this num- ber for five years and am doing a good busi- ness. I serve a mighty good feed for 15 cents, and think that all my customers are satisfied. Mrs. F. Wood of 1147 Howard street said : In my experience of twelve yearsat this stand I am able to say something about res- taurant business. I serve an excellent meal for 15 cents, and my customers will indorse this statement. Steaks, chops, soups and des- serts are included in my 15-cent bill of fare. The restaurant-keepers, generally, say that business is improving, and that they are greatly encouraged by the outlook. DEATH OF AN EXILE. A. P. Peterson, Ex-Attorney-General of Hawaii, Gone. Arthur P. Peterson, Attorney-General of Hawaii under the monarchy, and recently exiled with many others from the islands, died yesterday at the California Hotel. His few friends and brothers in exile were with him when he expired. They took charge of the remains, which will be in- terred here. Arthur P. Peterson was born in New | Bedford, Mass., of old Puritan stock, and was 36 years old. He went to the Hawaiian Islands when quite young, and after graduating from Punahau College, he went to the law college of the Uni- versity of Michigan and was graduated with honors. He next went to Boston, where he was in active practice of his profes- sion for some years, alternating it with newspaper work. He was Deputy Attorney-General for two vears and twice Attorney-General of Hawaii under the monarchy; also sitting | ALICE EDITH IN SAN FRANGISCO. S0 SAYS AN ACQUAINTANCE OF THE LADY WHO HAS KNOWN HER LONG. HER MYSTERIOUS VISITOR. HIGHTON SAYS THE ScaNDAL WILL MAKE THE WHOLE COUN- TRY RING. In spite of the reiteration, by those who claim to know, that* Mrs. Alice Edith Blythe has left San Francisco and is now staying with relatives in the country, there are those who decline to believe that such is the case and who enlarge with consider- able emphasis on their apinions that she is still in this city in hiding. Mrs. Blythe is said to have departed on Wednesday afternoon, but a resident of Vacaville, Barrows by name, says he has seen her in this city since that time and says that it is impossible that he should be mistaken since he has known her well for years. According to his story Mrs. Blythe was staying in a house on Geary street and was under the superv: at least of Mrs. Cherry. While there, he says, she was frequently visited by a rather short, y stout, dark com- plexioned man, whose identity is unknown to Mr. Barrows. The name of a certain person who was in some way connected with the Florence Blythe side of the great lawsuit was suggested by the description, but the person named was also unknown to the man from Vacaville. D. J. Sinclair, the young newspaper man who announced to Attorney Highton Mrs. Blythe’s alleged determination not to have anything more 1o do with any con- test, states that he arranged all the details of Her removal from her former apart- ments and her retirement from the public eye. He said: ‘Alice had been sick for some time and was confined to her bed. T visited her at her rooms and told her that if she would agree to abandon any further contest I would help her and stand by her to see her through. She had personal legal ad- vice that the last decision of the Supreme Court ended her case and practically voided any contract she might have relating thereto with Attorney Highton. Papers were drawn up a cerfain lawyer—I shall not say who he is—and she signed them. “By those documents she conveyed to Mrs. Hinckley all her claim to any portion of the Biythe estate. She left her studio and took rooms which I secured for her till the arrangements were completed. She is now out of town, and she will not show her face here again till the whole matter is settled, for by so doing she would lose any advantages she may have gained.” In spite of his practical admission that Mrs. Blythe had signed the conveyances for a_consideration Mr. Sinclair,” when directly questioned on that subject, im- mediately denied that such wasthe case. He said: “‘Alice did not receive anything for signing the papers. Of course, Florence is agood girl_and a generous one, and she may give Alice a dollar or two later on, but if she does it will not be because of any agreement. The whole thing was simply a matter of friendship.” Concerning Sinclair’s interview with Attorney Highton, in which ,the young man_announced Mrs. Blythe's latest de- termination, the lawyer says that Sinclair evidently thought that as a result of the announcement something would explode. “He wore a curious expression of alarmed expectancy which was very amusing,” is the way the attorney phrases it. He also expresses an opinion concerning the young man’s head which contains a mention of ‘enlargement of the skull.” In the complaint in equity which Mr. Highton proposes to file, the defendants will be of many social stations and of con- siderable numbers. The attorney says that he knows of at least twenty-one dif- ferent persons who have immediate inter- ests in the final adjudication of the case. Some of these occupy lofty positions and the attorney promises that the suit will make the United States ring from one end to the other. WOMAN AND HER DESTINY. THROUGH HER THE HUMAN RACE WAS AWAKENED TO MIGHTY PROGRESS. REv. JENKIN LLOYD JONES ON THE Epenic IpyL anp ITs LEsson. The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones chose for his text Gepesis iii:6 and 7, in his lecture on *“The Women's Uprising,” and crowded the Second Unitarian Church, corner of Twentieth and Capp streets, yesterday afternoon: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes,and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat; and she gave also unto her hus- band with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened. ‘“History has proved a better comment upon my text than theology,” said the speaker. “Facts have changed the re- Eroach into a compliment. The church as been unkind to mother Eve as she is described in this idyl of Hebrew poetry, this poem of creation, born out of a heart untutored by science but .instructed by reverence. As philosophy these Genesis stories are weak and childish, but as mate- rial for the philosopher they are suggestive and valuable.
