RuMOR Says THAT Miss ZILLAH COONLEY WiILL WED AND Go EasT. A large and critical audience assembled in Odd Fellows’' Hall Wednesday evening at the regular monthly entertainment of the Western Addition Literary and Social Club. The programme was made up of music and recitations by members of the club, ending with a one-act farcical skit written by James P. Hurst, called “Sugar There is nothing in the farce except an amusing misunderstanding brought about tion as to who will be called upon to fill the positions. Any number of gentlemen are mentioned as available and well fitted for the positions, the two most frequentl: mentioned being Claus Spreckels and W. F. Whittier. It is not known whether their positions as officers of the road will prevent their assuming the duties of trus- tees or not, but if they are eligible the gen- eral impression is that both will be mem- bers of the board. & g In the group of directors pictured in the CALL yesterday one gentleman was unin- tentionally omitted, in the person of Al- vinza Hayward. Mr. Hayward has been one of the foremost supporters of the road and has liberally invested his means in its support. He was elected a director at the first meeting held for organization and still retains that positiou. ] The reason Mr. Hayward’s picture has never appeared in the various publications which %nve produced likertesses of the principal promoters is_that he is said to possess a strong aversion to having his photograph taken, and this fact has pre- vente tge newspapers from reproducing the profile of one of the most ardent advo- cates of the competing line. § : ‘While there 1s nothing definite obtain- able from the members of the board re- garding the route which will probably be followed, it is pretty safe to say that most of the principal stockholders favor the line on this side of the bay to San Jose. It leaked out yesterd: hat a large sum of money has been Erom by two prom- iment residents of this city who are largely interested in the localities through which the road would pass if it followed this course, the offer being made contingent upon the line extending in the direction MR. EDWIN CATLOW AND MISS ZILLAH COONLEY IN “INGOMAR.” by the heroine accepting the hand of father | instead of the son, on the strength of a| letter written by the father. Miss Zillah | Coonley, as a dashing young widow, and | Miss Mae Keane, as Spruce, her maid, got | all out of the parts possible, though neither had sufficient latitude to display her full dramatic ability. 5 Among the amateur aspirants for his- trionic honors, none are better or more favorably known than pretty Miss Zillah Coonley. But for the serious opposition of her parents she would now be treading the boards in the garb of a ‘‘professional.” Gifted by nature with & magnetic person- ality, silvery voice and graceful presence, Miss Coonléy may be said to possess all that goes to make up a successful actress. For the last two vears she has been before the public in amateur plays, her every ap- earance being warmly applauded. ~Her riends claim that the irreproachable man- ner in which, in tragedy parts, she touches the whole Scale of human_ emotions en- titles her to rank with the best. Last month Miss Coonley ?fieamd as Parthe- nia in “Ingomar,” and her work on that occasion was said to be of a very high or- der. It is rumored in amateur circles that Miss Coonley is to marry Edwin J. Catlow, also favorably known as an amateur of ability, and that both will make their pro- fessional debut in New York next fall. “Am I going on the stage?”’ said Miss Coonley yesterday. “Well, I hardly know. My friends are very kind in their criticisms of my work, and I want very much to Miss Mae KXeane, Popular Amateur Soubrette. adopt the stage as my profession. My parents object seriously to such a move- ment on my part, and until—but why speak of it? T am not going on the stage professionally for some time yet, though I intend to sooner or later.” Another young Thespian about whom the critics say pleasant things is Miss Mae Keane. This young lady, with a face like Lotta and curls that bewitch the mascu- line eye, is but recently from St. Gertrude’s Convent. During the short time that she has been out, however, Miss Keane hashad innumerable offers to go on the stage. She says that she is young yet and is willing to remain an amateur a little while longer. Miss Keane is regaraed as a very clever soubrette, and for one so young the ability to win approbation is a great compliment to her cleverness as an actress. She comes by her fondness for the stage honestly, her mother having played with the celebrated actor, Fechter, a number of years. Though only 16, Miss Keane is a party to a little romance that is just now the '.o&c of conversation in dramatic circles. e was engaged to a prominent young attor- ney, who, as soon as he learned of her stage aspirations, told her that she must give up all hopes in that direction or part with him forever. Miss Keane quietly but firmly told the young gentleman that her one ambition in fife was to become a good actress, and that if he made it a matter of choice she would stick to the footlights. . FIGURING ON THE TRUSTEES. The Railréad Nominating Committee Has Not Agreed Upon the Men. Isaac Upham, one of the directors of the valley road, was industriously looking for President Spreckels yesterday with a view to having that official set the date at which to call the stockholders together and elect the trustees who are to shape the policy of the road during the continuance of the trust. The committee appointed to nominate the trustees has not yet performed that duty, and there is a good deal of specula- mentioned. The San Jose geople say they are not fighting Stockton, but that if their ideas were followed out the road, besides running from this city to San Jose, would haye an extension from some intermediate point to Stockton.

THEY SaY HE SAw No BaTTLEs HE DESCRIBES AS AN EYE- WITNESS. The Hawaiian exiles now in the city have a good deal to say of Joaquin Miller’ exploits as a war correspondent down there during the late incipient revolution. They say that his eyewitness accounts of: the fighting were like his famous interview with Evans, the outlaw—at very long range. Since his theatrical arrival there in his pic- turesque costume, when he pitched his tent some ten miles out of the city of Hon- olulu, he has been bringing upon himself the ridicule of the people of both sides. Most of his graphic descriptions of the troubles down there he wrote asif he had been an eyewitness, but the Hawaiians who have come up lately say that he was neyer near any danger and saw no fighting. Said cne of the exiles last evening: “Many of the correspondents who have one to the islands lately have given us ittle cause to feel friendly toward them, for they have %enerally favored the side of the Provisional Government. “But Joaquin Miller is different. He fayors them too, of course, but is making himself so ridiculous that he does more harm than good to their cause. He has given us abour all the fun we have had out of t}_zckwhole rumpus. He was our stand- joke. “When he first came down there he went some ten miles out of Honolulu and pitched a tent. That was a good plan. It enabled him to get an idea of what camp- ing-out would be in time of trouble witE- out taking any risk. “Both sides are having fun out of his de- scriptions of battles he neversaw, and they say he could never have taken the trouble to ask about them from eyewitnesses, but must have evolved his accounts out of his inner consciousness. Probably the skir- mishing he dignified as battles were too tame for the sort of material he wanted to send. He was not within ten miles of some of the fighting that he claims to have taken part in, ‘“‘Yes, he is the standing joke there. Still the Provisional Government, I under- stand, is beginning to take him seriously, and I should not be surprised to see our small band of exiles from the islands in California increased one, soon, by the poet of the Sierras.” ————— Gifts for a Yachting Man. . A pretty quilt for the cabin is always ac- ceptable. Quilted satin is the best, and it should be lined and filled with eiderdown, but not so thickly as the ordinary down quilts. Photograph frames, hanging bags to hold photographs and writing materials (one of ‘the new writing boards is made with a flap cover, which preserves the blotting-paper and writing uteusils from dust); ‘pretty sofa-cushions, chair-backs, hanging book-shelves and ornamental book-covers, and the new and pretty silk bags made of brocade for Pphotographs. Any and all of these “At Sea’” wou%d find acceptable to any yachting man, as also the new yacht ink-bottle—an exact copy of Alylcht mp made in copper and ruby glass. > o A dainty semi-safeguard for a tiny watch or a locket with a precious picture Kx it is the lon; lmlgle chain of pearls strung on tiny gold ks, worn twice around the throat and lnlling in graceful loops to the waist, then caught up high over the heart with a jeweled pin, closing the invisible pocket in which the watch or locket is tucked away. More prosaie possessors of such a chain find it a convenient fastening for the lorgnette, which is stuck dagger- fashion into the belt. ————— There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury.—Alexander Smith. GLAUS SPRECKELS GETS THE CORNER. THE RYER PROPERTY AT THIRD AND MARKET SOLD BY THE COURT, TO BE LEASED TO THE “CALL.” A MAGNIFICENT MODERN STRUCT- URE WILL Be ERECTED WITHOUT DELAY. The Ryer property at the sonthwest corner of Market and Third streets passed into the hands of Claus Spreckels yester- day on an order of the Probate Court con- firming the sale. A bid of $306,000 was made by Mr. Spreckels when the property was offered by G.H. Umbsen & Co. at auction recently. This figure did not quite come up to ex- pectations of the executors, who declined to accept it, thinking that more would be offered in the Probate Court. The advance bid of 10 per cent required by law was not made, however, last Thursday when a motion to confirm the sale was made before Judge Slack. R. H. Couniry- man, attorney for Fletcher Ryer, stated that he believed such a bid would be made if the court would grant a continuance for one day. The courtesy of a day’s post- ponement was extended Mr. Countryman. When the matter was taken up yesterday afternoon Iletcher Ryer’s attorney in- formed the court he had not been able to secure an advance bid. “That means, I suppose,’ replied the gpld%e, ‘‘that no other parties are going to id The attorney could not see it in the same light, and he urged that there was no need of selling the property, as there was suffi- cient money on hand” to pay bequests, ex- cepting charitable bequests, which he said could not be regarded as valid until an ap- peal by Fletcher Ryer was determined by the Supreme Court. T, B. Bishop, attorney for the executors, explained that the will ordered the prop. erty to be sold. Indeed, the heirs could not obtain the property, since it was Mr. Ryer’s last wish that it be distributed in bequests. ““What we are trying to do,” continued Mr. Bishop, “is to sell this property so as to get the estate ready for distribution and wind it up.” “As Iunderstand it,” Jhdge Slack re- marked to Attorney Countryman, ‘‘your clients want the property held in order to have the executors virtually speculate on the market.” The counsel admitted he had not talked with the other heirs and could not say what they wished to do. ‘There is no evidence that the price of- fered is an unfair price,’”” added the court. =I'll have to confirm the sale.” G. H. Umbsen, the real estate agent who sold both the properties of the Ryer estate, Attorney Bishop, rep- resenting the executors, ‘and the exec- utors themselves, expressed themselves as very well satisfied with the two transac- tions. John D. Spreckels was asked whether a new building would be erected at the cor- ner of Third and Market streets. “Evidently there will be,” he replied, ‘“as my father did not purchase the prop- erty to let it lie in its present condition. The building now on the lot is entirely un- suitable. “It is admitted that this is one of the most important corners in the cityYand the buill}’ings are old and wholly ‘out of place in that portion of the city. “We propose to lease the new building to Mr. Shortridge, who has been looking for a suitable property for the CaALL office, and we bave made him a proposition to erect such a building as he may desire and lease the entire building to him for a long term of years. “The old buildings will, therefore, be re- moved and the plans at once prepared for a magnificent structure, which will be an ornament to the city and an appropriate ho]me for a first-class metropolitan jour- nal.” Mr. Spreckels was asked about a rumor that he desired more land adjoining. “If we desired more land,”’ 'he said, “we should have purchased it before this, If we had more land®-a bigger frontage—it would require a large hgfin well, which would consume much valuable space that could be utilized for rooms, and we can obtain all the light necessary from the out- side in a building on the present site with- out having a court. ““We have decided upon the architecture of the building, and the architects will be put to work at once. The building will be a steel frame one and fire proof.”’ “Have you decided upon the number of stories ?” “Well, no; not as yet. As the city has grown it has been found desirable to use many more stories than formerly and thus provide more working space.’”’ The lot has a frontage of 75 feet on Mar- ket street and 75 feet on Third, and isa square on which a magnificent modern building can be constructed. —_— Ir's a mighty poor dinner when the bread is spoiled.

SHE HaD NURSED THE MaN WHO Is UNDER ARREST FOR THE CRIME. The body of Miss Maud M. Whitely, aged 19, reclines in the Morgue awaiting an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Doctors will decide this morning at 10 o’clock. According to the statements of Mrs. Mary A. Whitely, the mother of the girl, Alex- ander Forbes was brought to the house, 1079 Market street, in an injured condition some four months ago. Mrs. Whitely and her daughter devoted their time to the comfort of the patient, but now the girl lies npon a slab in the city’s Morgue while TForbes broods over his past life in the tanks of the City Prison. 7 Dr. Milton B. Atkins says he was called upon March 16 to attend a serious case at 1079 Market street. He responded and found 'Maud Whitely suffering from the re- sults of a criminal operation. Believing that he could save the gi1l's life he pre- scribed for her until yesterday morning, when he found death was inevitable. Dr. Henry A. B. Krugeler of 1065 How- ard street was called in consultation, but nothing could be done. The girl died at 4 o’clock ‘yesterdly afternoon from the ef- fécts of an operation performed by Dr. Adam T. Dickson of s Bryant street, according fo the statement the dying girl and the admission of the doctor charged with the crime. Dr. Atkins says the girl told him Dr. Dickson had performed an operation upon her at the solicitation of Alexander Forbes. This was about March 5. Dr. Dickson treated her until her condition be- came so serious that Mrs. Whitely decided to call in another physician. Dickson was ordered from the house and Dr. Atkins called in. He in turn called Dr. Krugeler. Both the physicians will tell their story at the Coroner’s inquest. . Dr. A. T. Dixon, who is accused of hay- ing performed the abortion with instru- ments at his office, at 45914 Bryant street, on March 5 last, along with Alexander | Forbes, a carpenter, the man charged with being responsible for the girl’s condition, were arrested at 10 o’clock to-night by Offi- cer 0'Day and locked up at the new City Hall prison. Their names were not regis- tered, but placed on the small book, pend- ing the result of the Coroner’s inquest. The accused men were silent on the sub- ject of their guilt or innocence, but the evi- dence against them is strong, though the girl’s dying statement was a verbal one. The complaint was made to Chief Crowley by Coroner Hawkins, and Officer O'Day | was detailed on the case with the results narrated. RAIDED BY THE POLICE. A Foul Resort in the Vicinity of a School Broken Up. A house of ill repute on the corner of Stockton and Bush streets, adjoining the new polytechnic school, was raided last evening and four women were arrested. | WHAT CHILDREN CAN DO IN ART.

(% Ian RAFACL }Guflza e 7P R TE R The house was particularly objectionable on account of its propinquity to a public school. The teachers had complained to the police of the matter. John McCarthy, chairman of the Police Committee of the Grand Jury, insisted on the place being broken up. Last evening Sergeant Gillen and Officers Butterworth and McGrew went to the house in citizen’s clothes. They pur- chased liquors and secured all theevidence they required to make arrests. Mrs. A. Stein, the proprietress of the place, was arrested on two charges of selling liquor without a license and one of conducting a house of ill fame. The three other women were arrested for visiting a house of ill fame. The women gave the names of Mrs. Agnes Baker, Mrs. Anna Smith and Miss Mary Smith. When arrested the women begged piteously for release. ts. Agnes Baker said she wasa mar- ried woman, with a sick husband, and that she was forced to go to the house. The one who gave the false name of Anna Smith is her friend and a young widow. The one giving the name of Mary Smith pretended to be a servant girl in a promi- nent hotel buta short distance from the house. The place has been known as the “Little Casino’’ forsome time. The license for selling liquor was taken away some time ago so as to close up the foulnest. The license was also taken away from the adjoining house. That place closed up immediately, but efforts to close the Little Casino, which isa very low grade place, were futile until last evening. —————— Two emblems of good luck—the horse- shoe and Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, —_— FIVE THOUSAND PASSES. The Legislators of Kansas Very Free in Their Demands. “I have just written the four thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth pass since this Legislature convened,” said General Attorney A. A. Hurd of the Santa Fe last evening. It is Mr. Hurd who issues nearly all the passes ‘“‘on account of legislation,” and he sees that each member of the Legis- lature is provided with a pasteboard which allows him to ride free on all Santa Fe lines during the session. The members are also given trip passes for their friends when they wish to travel to or from To- peka purely for “legislative purposes.” Mr. Hurd was 1n a happy mood. It was probably because the Legislature was so nearly ended., “It is strange, very strange,” said he, “what excuses members do make to get passes. Often when a pass is applied for and it is not definite for what urpose it is requested, I write to the mem- ger and ask him_what it is for and he will answer, ‘legislative purposes.” Some have asked for passes from Kansas City to the west line of the State, all on ‘account of legislative business.” I was asked for passes fora party of men to Kansas Cit{ and return a day or two ago, and when asked what particular legislation called them to Kansas City, they answered, ‘the irrigation bill.” I told them that Kansas City was a good Plnce to irrigate, but I would have to refuse the passes just the same. “A member of the'Senate wanted a pass from some Western town to Topeka and re- turn, and when I asked him whom it was for he said that it was for his stenoa; rapher’s husband, who wanted to come Topeka to visit his wife. The stenographer didn’t see her husband, or if she did h paid his fare to Topeka. “I have just heard that some of the passes I have issued are being offered for sale on the streets. They use these trip asses, which are given on account of ‘legis- ative business.’ As much as we try to ac- comn‘:odlte them, you see how the favors are al 4 ‘It may seem that I have issued a greay many passes, but two years ago there were at least twice as many given. We have been more strict this year.” “Do the Populists apply for as many passes as the Republicans?”’ asked the re- orter. “No, they do not; but all the members alike haye the legislative passes. “‘Next year, when the Legislature meets, I am preparing a surprise. have had a talk with the representatives of the other lines, and we have lq-read to issne no trip passes whatever for ‘legislative purposes.’ A member will receive a pass for himself and lam‘irfi'l, and that will ‘end it, and his friends have to pay their fares or stay at home. I think that the number of peo- ple who come to To§ka will not be quite so large.”’—Topeka (Kan.)

[From an original sketch made for the “Call” by Hr. Porter.] \ the exhibition at 606 Jackson street of the water colors and charcoal studiesof the girl pupils of the Broadway Grammar School and be convinced. The pupils range in age from 7 to 13 years, and Miss V. D. Bradbury, their teacher, declines to give any of them the slightest lead in the matter of handling the subject. Miss Parker, the principal, has done all she could to encourage Miss Bradbury, who teaches the children, and develop the spirit of art among the little ones. The work exhibited is the result. All of it shows tenderness, and some of the flower studies in water color are wonderful when the conditions under which they were made is considered. The child chooses her own colors, and without the intervention of even a pencil outlinedraws in with color blossom, leaves and stem. The very simplicity of the work makes it beautiful and equal to the best work done in that period of what was known as ‘“Japanese flower-painting.” In thelife studies, and it seems incon- gruous to talk of life studies in connection with baby pupils, the same unconscious- ness is evident. The child would be placed before the class and then with charcoal the gupils shape.in the forms according to in- ividual aptitude. AIl of the work is necessarily hurried. There is but one hour in the week given to the art studies, while all the rest of the school time belongs to the regular school course. J As a proof 6f the strength of feeling among the little workers Is the fact that when ‘in the late hours of odd afternoons they get a chance at the art work rooms the janitor has to literally drive the young ones out. Mr. Bruce Porter, in whose studio the exhibition is being given, is authority for the statement that these little ones have themselves done all the work represented, and done it without the least mechanica or literary aid; that the work is unusnall good is the reason for the exhibition, ani half a dozen of the best artists in San Francisco looked over the work of these child artists yesterday and declared it incomparable. As a center-piece around which the pupils’ work arranged Mr. Porter has exhibited his window in stained glass that has been made for the Presbyterian church at San Rafael. The window has been made by Mr. Porter at the request of Mrs. J. P yd and as a memorial to her uncle, Ira Cook. The church is a hand- some building of gray stone, and of its building much is due to the generosity of Mrs. Traynor Park. In design the window is an arabesque of leaves with nestling doves. The scroll ‘aipringu from a naturally arranged center, irecting the eye upward to the cross. There are more than 3000 gieces of glass superimposed to give the rich effect. Attached Mrs, Martin’s Bric-a-Brac. The Sheriff has attached s quantity of bric- a-brac belonging to Mrs. Isabella Martin on a judgment for $299 obtained against her by Henry N. Clement, the attorney, for legal ser- vices rendered. Frequent failure to get service of writs of attachment had made the deputies fearful that any efforts in that direction woula be in vain, and they were agreeably surprised 8t no resistance to their entrance to her home e le. Mrs. Martin told them in a threat- ening mannerthat they would getinto trouble, and demanded that she be arrested on the order fining her for contempt issued by Justice Kerrigan. The deputies paid no attention to her and departed peacably with their spoils. ———— Press Club Entertainment.
