Next Friday afternoon the board of di- rectors of the Manufacturers’ Association will assemble in the Mills building to ad- vance the interests of the State on lines to be presented for consideration at that time. This was decided at the meeting of the board yesterday in the Chamber of Commerce assembly-room. Quite an enthusigs thering of manu- facturers and workers were assembled when Chairman Scott called the meeting » toerder.

M. Bunker to ad- dress the board on the purposes of the Half Million Club. He said: *The Half Million Club asks your assist- ance in the matter of the excursion to the nment of the people who will come here. nized for the same pur- no partic vthing. Give us all the finan- ance possible and we ”the proposed ad- sked hether the Half Million -finite plan upon which they proposed t ask assistance, and was told ‘that aiter the meeting of the club on Tuesday next the details would be arranged and the desires Mr. Bunker Club had any soon as the plan is outlined everythin: possible will be done by the Manufacturers’ Association to assist the Half Million Club. The di of the document pre- sented by Saroni was then taken up. It was thought that all matters of griev- ance should be left to the executive com mittee of the board, but Mr. Sonntag said the executive committee had all it could o without such additional work being placed upon its shoulders. Mr. McGlynn brought the matter to a settlement by moving that the board of directors elect seven members to act as chairmen of committees on grievance, transportation, promotion, lezislative, pub- lic buildings, finance and publication, with power to choose four other members of the association for each committee, Before action was taken upon the mo- tion Mr. Sonntag su ted that all com- munications to the grievance committee be not considered unless they are presented in writing, and that the committee be given power to reject any communication they do not consider a just claim, because some- times people think they have a grievance when they really do not. “If you wi listen to every man who comes to you h a verbal complaint the commiitee will have to sit every hour in the day and 365 days in the year.” The power suggested by Mr. Sonntag was ordered granted the committee with the privilege of appeal to the board of directors. A recess was taken in order to allow some private discussion upon the selection of the men who will act as chairmen of the variouscommittees. Upontheboard being called to order Mr. Sonntag reported that it had been decided to_select a commiittee of seven to prepare a list of names to be resented at the next meeting of the board. his was so ordered, and Messrs. Moore, Sonntag, Saroni, Code, Hammond, Mc- Laughlin and Scott were appointed. They + will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and prepare the list. S The matter of employing some one to canvass the city for patronage for home 4 industries was ‘brought up by Mr. Mead, who said the proposition bad been infor- - mally discussed by the executive commit- tee, and it was lhougm that any of the members of the association who could devote a little time to the work should do s0. In addition to that it was thought Oscar Lewis should be requested to take hold of the work. The question was put A ar issue to look | R ithern part of the State and the enter- | e known. Mr. Scott replied that as | to Mr. Lewis as to whether he would accept the position, He requested time to con- sider the matter, and_will give his answer at the meeting on Friday. Secretary Mead was instructed to employ an assistant at $75 per month. F. H. Dingle, whd has been active in the associa- tion, was named by Mr. Mead. UNITED HEBREW OHARITIES. Work of the Emanu-El Sisterhood for the Past Year. The Emanu-El Sisterhood, an offshoot of the Temple Eman-El, held its first an- nual meeting on Wednesday last. Mrs. P. N. Lilienthal, in her report as president, stated that the experimental vear has demonstrated the value of the work of the sisterhood, and expressed the hope that the contemplated union of Jew- ish charities would soon be realized, in or- der that nnited action could accomplish still greater lts. Mrs. Andrew M. s , reported the member- ip at , & considerable increase during the year. Mrs, Lewis Gerstle, the treas- urer, reported the finances in a healthy condition. The society has disbursed over $1000 and has $2200 on hand. 4 Mrs. J. Baum reported that of 304 appli- cants for work 110 had been placed, and twenty-one boysand girls were apprenticed at trades. Mrs. A. E. Adler reported that the sewing-school, started with a solitary puptl, now numbers nearly one hundred girls, Mrs. M. S. Eisner reported that the entertainments tendered to poor mothers by the Mothers’ Club had proved a success. Mrs. M. Esberg reported that 425 families had been aided with provisions, fuel, gar- ments, doctors and medicine. 3 The following were elected governing council: Mrs. P. N. Lilienthal, president; Mrs. M. ner and Mrs. J. Voorsanger, vice-presidents; Mrs. A. M. Davis, secre- tary; M urer; Mrs. W ter, Mrs. J. H e Wangenheim, Mrs. J. Baum, Mrs. L. Eikus, Mrs. A. K. | Arnold, Mrs.' A. E. Adler, Mrs. S. An- spacher, M Colman and Mrs, M. Esberg. JUDGE WALLACE GIVES HIM THE FULL LIMIT FOR JURY- BRIBING. THE PRISONER SHOWS A RESIGNa- TION WHICH SURPRISED HIs AUDIENCE. ‘Williem J. Hurley has been given the full sentence allowed by law for the crime of jury-bribing, and from the remarks he made it was evident Judge Wallace was | sorry the limit had been made &o small. His sentence is five years’ imprisonment in the State prison. There was a much larger crowd than usual, even on sentence day, in the court- room when Hurley’s case was called. The | prisoner still wore his pointed skull-cap | and was still possessed of the idea that he was insane. M Forbes, Hurley’s counsel, after icing an attempted suggestion from his client, made two motions—one for a new trial and the other for an arrest of judgment. The motion for a new trial was based upon the fact that it had not been roved that at the time he approached Johnson the last time he knew that Johnson had been drawn as a juror. The court failed to see in the point any reason for granting a new trial of the case, | and he therefore overruled the motion for anew trial and also the motion for an ar- rest of judgment, which latter motion was | made on tutory grounds. Forbes then | having nothing more to Hurley took occasion to address the court in a manner calculated to suggest to the court that he | was cra | man Johnson that I talked to | sworn?” he asked, and then after a pause, “You can do as you want with me. I'll soon be in heaven, anyway, and 1 don't | care. I'm ready for anything. I have a | bellyful of glass and I'm ready for any- thing. God bless you and all of us.” At this point the court interrupted him. “You can scarcely expect anything less than the extreme limit of the law,” said the court, “‘for it is not large. Itisonly one-fourth as large as the term allowed for footpads, and this crime is a worse one. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the State prison for the period of five years.” A murmur of com- ment ran_through the crowd, and then every one hurried‘zout of the courtroom so | as to get a good position by the stair rail- | ing in order to see the prisoner start on his way to the penitentiary. PHILOSOPHY OF BEING WELL DR. ELLINWOOD DELIVERS A LECTURE AT COOPER MEDI- CAL COLLEGE. DEVELOPMENT OF PERFECTION DUE TO SURROUNDING CONDITIONS OF MATTER. Dr. C. N. Ellinwood, professor of physio- Jogy at Cooper Medical College, delivered a | lecture last night in the assembly-rooms | on “Exercise, the Philosophy of Being | ell, or ‘the Science of Growing in the Highest and Best Development.” The | lecture was one of the regular course and was fairly well attended. The speaker said in part: “The art of maintaining the harmonious workings of our muscular, glandular and nervous systems involves profound studies not to be compassed in a single lecture, not o be exhausted even in a single lifetime. “Modern experience, modern education in all lines of attainment 'has forcibly im- pressed upon: Jts very title-page methodic work, methodic ~ training — exercise. Physical culture has had its epoch in human history. The Spartans were the first to systematically cultivate physical excellence. ‘‘Lacedemonia developed such formid- able warriors by physical training and drill that every state and nation has pur- sued some system for a like purpose ever since. Though having little sympathy with the hyziene and esthetic purposes of the Greeks, the Romans adopted their gymnastic ritual, employing it solely to fit soldiers for tne wars. ‘“The relative development and perfec- tion of a species or an individual would seem to be due to the surrounding con- ditions of matter and force, and the in- herent power of organism to appropriate and elaborate the elements of nutrition which they supply. “‘Atavisms can be corrected and removed by the application of science, so that inher- ited maladies need not be inflicted on the new man. The intelligent management of children from infancy and during the formative period of their lives should have regard to their nervous systems as well as their stomachs. The child should not be worried and iretted by an impatient nurse, nor teased and excited by companions or nagged by teachers. It often happens the most kind and indulgent parents bring up vicious children, because they have left the training to others.” —————— A New Trial for O’Connor. P. M. O'Connor, convicted of feloniously re- fusing to sign the election returns from the recinct of which he wes inspecior of election, has been granted a new trial by Judge Wallace. It was contended by counsel for the defendant that the court should have instructed the jury that criminal intent is a vital element in prov- ing crime. The instructions on this point, they sflirmed, were vazue and insufficient. It was upon this point that the new trial wasgranted. s A Langley’s Directory has 2504 more names than the opposition.

H. Davis, the attorney who is accused of having acted in collusion with Claims- Adjuster Millspaugh of the Southern Pa- cific Company, was indicted by the Grand Jury yesterday. Presentments were also filed against Dr. William Jenningson, John Gamage and D. M. Blank for attempting to extort money from R. H. McDonald. The evidence in the latter cases is not believed to be very strong, being mostly given by R. H. McDonald and his wife. There was but little corroborative evidence | given outside of their testimony, especially as far as John Gamage is concerned. Some of the grand jurors were reluctant to bring a presentment against the three men, as they feared the story to be a trick of Me- Donald’s to injure the reputation of per- sons who might be brought to testify against him at his next trial. There seems to be no doubt that Jenningson pressed McDonald for money claimed to be due him, or tnat Blank called on McDonald, but the evidence of attempted extortion is weak. Gamage is said to have been brought into the case only on hearsay. The evidence against Attorney Davis is said to be very strong. The indictment is for embezzlement, and was made on the complaint of Simon Davis, a musician at the Tivoli Opera-house. The accused and the accuser, though of the same name, are not related to each other. Simon Davis was injured by an O’Farrell-street car last October. He afterward called at the office of the Southern Pacific Company to secure a compensation for his injuries, loss of time while injured, ete. He was referred to a marc whom he at first believed to be Millspaugh, but who, Davis said last evening, he knows was not the predecessor to Byron Waters as claims agent of the railroad company. This man asked Davis whether he was any relation to Attorney H. H. Davis, and insinuated that the latter was the best man to securea scttlement of the case. The next evening Attorney H, H. Davis secured a front seat at the Tivoli just opposite his namesake’s position in the orchestra. The attorn: spoke to the musician at the first opp tunity and business dealings were opened. Simon Davis agreed that if the attorney could secure him_ $175 above all fees and expenses he would compromise with the road company. The attorney soon came to the musician and stated he had compromised the case, but that all he could get was $125. He said that Simon Davis could have all this, as the railroad would also pay him a fee of 50. When SBimon Davis learned that his attorney had secured $450, as far as the of- ficials of the railroad company knew, he became angry and sought his namesake. The only excuse the attorney gave was that he had had to divide up with some one eise, or the money could not have been obtained at all. The insinuation was that Millspaugh was the one who ex- torted the ‘‘divvy.” Simon Davis considered that he had been swindled and he went to the Grand Jury. The officiais of the railroad com- pany smelt a mo and started an investi- gation which resulted in Millspeugh’s dis- charge. Several other cases fike that of Simon Davis were brought to light. No evidence tending to criminate Millspaugh has been brought before the Grand Jury. The indictments were filed by the grand jurors at P. M. They returned to their Tooms and began an investigation of the case of Thomas Croke, who 1s said to have embezzled $2600 from the permit fund of the Strect Department when he was a clerk under Superintendent of Streets Ac- kerson. Jobn Fitzgerald. Charles Gagus and Larry Welch, who were also employes under Ackerson, were the principal wit- nesses yester The investigation went over until next meeting, when it is believed Croke will be be indicted, as Ackerson, who is now ill, will give strong testimony against the man to make good whose shortage the ex-Su- perintendent of Streets had to pay into the permit fund $2600. Croke is still 'in town. The Grand Jury is nearing the close of its labors, but before it tinishes it will at- tempt to clean up its work by indicting a large number of persons who constantly live in violation of the law and who bring discredit upon the purity of the city gov. ernment. Particular attention will be paid to professional straw bondsmen bucket-shop keepers and workers of fran during election times. The matter of Sheriff Whelan and his fees will probably be passed by the Grand Jury, as some of the members believe other parties should attend to the case. There are a_lot of persons who hang around the Police Courts and work with the “'shyster” lawyers in furnishing straw bond to criminals h the connivance of some officials, This business has grown s0 large that the Grand Jury has decided to stop it if possible to obtain evidence. Con- siderable evidence has already hLeen se- cured and several of the guilty parties have grown very cautious. Some indictments will be filed, however, before the Grand Jury adjourns. Several bucket-shop keepers will also have to an- swer to the Jaw and test the constitution- ality of that section which forbids the sell- ing of pools except at the racetrack. Those Enih_v oi election frauds, who have not een indicted already, may breathe more easily, as it is believed no further indict- ments in this line will be brought in. How- ever, several cases will be investigated this week, and if safficient evidence can be se- cured to separate the guilty from the inno- cent indictments wifi follow. 8o far the necessary evidence has not been secured. Attorney H. H. Davis was arrested last night on a Grand Jury indictment and was afterward released on’ bonds. M'KINLEY MAY COME WEST. Just Now He Is Most Interested in Ohio’s Approaching Election. Politicians of all “parties were greatly in- terested in the brief dispatch from Colum- bus, Ohio, published in the CALL, reading as follows: It is stated here on good authority that arrangements are being made for a West- ern trip this summer by Governor Me- Kinley. Insurance Commissioner Hahn, who is now in California, is said to be pre- paring the Goyvernor’s itinerary.” ‘When Mr., Hahn, who is secretary of the Republican National Committee, was ques- tioned regarding this announcement he said: “I know nothing about arrangements for Governor McKinley’s visit to this coast. He is now in the South and my visit te California is simply one of pleasure. Governor McKinley is just now more in- terested in the election this fall of a Re- publican Governor and other State officials than in anything else at present, as the Legislature will elect a Senator to take the place of Senator Brice. In Ohio, you know, we have a State election every year. “The election of 1896 will take care of it- self, so you see that there is no political significance in my visit to this State. “1 wish, however, that Governor Mec- Kinley could see his way clear to making some "speeches in ‘Utah, which is now en- gaged in adopting a constitution prepara- tory to undergoing the final ordeal for ad- mission into the Union. They have to elect two United States Senators, and it is very important that the Republicans carry that State.” 30 Should the great protectionist decide to enter the Utah Btate campaign, leading local Republicans will make a great effort to induce him to visit the coast, as inti- mated in conversations with a number of them. 3 “I would like to say this about your magnificent commonwealth,” said ~Mr. Hahn, in conclusion: *“‘For a great many years I have wanted to visit California. T have read a great deal about this State and | its wonderful resources, but reading about it is not like seeing it. I don’t know of any State in the Union where you can go up into the mountains, get caught in a hail and snow storm and in less than three hours see flowers in bloom and straw- berries in bearing.” This tribute was called forth by the ex- perience of Mr. Hahn during a recent trip to Mount Hamilton. DAMAGE BY FROSTS. Fruitmen Are Not Pleased With the Present Outlook. Reports from different localities show that the recent frost caused much damage, and in many places the almond and apri- cot crops are ruined. Peaches and prunes were not damaged to any great extent. Some of the fruit-raisers look upon the coming season with expectations of dis- couragement. While the building of the valley road will cause a great home con- sumption of fruit, the outlook is not bright. The orange men have the best chance of all the fruit-raisers, as their crop has been | good, and, with a failure in Florida, an in- crease in the Eastern demand will follow. — The Care of South Park. A petition was subm d to the Supervisors yesterday, signed by residents and property- owners about outh Park, asking that the park | be accepted and cared for the city, as it is an open and public park. now cared for and has been the subscriptions of these property-owners, and they say it is burden- some vpon them. ACAINST UNDRESS PICTURES AN ORDINANCE FOR THE SUPPRES- SION OF THE POLICE GAZETTE AND PICTURES AND STORIES OF DEEDS OF BLOOD ORIMMORAL SUGGESTIONS. Secretary Kane of the Pacific Society for the Prevention of Vice was before the | Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday and presented the draft of an ordinance directed against un- healthy literature and images, pictures, representations, etc., of every character, to the exclusion of such publications as the Police Gazette and such advertisements as a certain bull which figures on the dead walls in behalf of a certain tobacco. Mr. Kane specially mentioned the bull as a thing to be promptly extinguished in case | the ordinance was adopted. And_ the committee decided to recom- mend it for passage. The first clause of the ordinance pro- vides that: 1f any person shall bring or cause to.be | brought into t ate for sale or exhibition, or shall sell, lend, give away or offer to give away, or show, or have in his or her possession with intent to sell, or give away, or to exhibit, show, advertise or otherwise offer for loan, gift, sale or distribution, any obscene or indecent | book, magazine, pamphiet, newspaper, story- | paper, writing, paper, picture, ear | or photograph, or any article or instr immoral or indecent use, or shall dcslghn, copy, draw, photograph, print, utter, publish or otherwise prepare such book, picture, card, drawing, paper or other article, or shall write, print or cause to be writien of printed a eir: cular, advertisement or notice of afty kind, or give information, oraily, stating n, where, how or of whom or by what means such inde- cent or obscene articles or thing can be pur- ehnsed, seen or obtained, shall in every such case be gullty of & misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $500, or undergo an im- prisonment in the County Jail not exceeding six months, or punished by both such fine and imprisonment. This is an illustration of the sweeping and binding character of the ordinance. In its succeeding clauses, and with equal minutie, the ordinance aims to prohibit the circulation in any way, even by gift or the having in possession by any person, or the exhibition in any “hotel, saloon or church,” of any paper devoted to the dis- semination of criminal news, police re- ports or pictures or stories of deeds of blood. It makes it a misdemeanor also to exhibit an indecent picture or fizure, or any image or representation of the human form in a nude or semi-nude condition. The ordinance, Secretary Kane ex- plained, was intended to put a stop to the posting of indecent theatrical p bills or other advertisements. He ‘sald if the ordinance was passed he would see to it that proceedings would be brought for every infraction of it. The communication from Police Sur- geon Bomers relnting to the desire of Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair to present the city—the emergency hospital—with an ambulance, horses, etc., provided the city would accept and take care of them, was read and the acceptance recommended. A resolution thanking the “‘Doctor’s Daugh- ters” and the donors was adopted.: | The protest against the “asylum for a | certain class of females’” maintained at 26 Hill street was placed on file, with the comment that the institution was a chari- table one and there was no cause for com- plaint. THE CARPETS DIBA;}.’EARED And W. Brown and A. Hoffman Are Ac- cused of Burglary. William A. Brown and Albert Hoffman, residing at 516 Howard street, were ar- rested on eharges of burglary by Detectives Dillon and Crockett last night, and were locked up for safekeeping at the Southern station in default of $1000 bonds each. The accusations of burglary against the prisoners are based on the disappearance of certain pieces of carpet from the carpet- cleaning establishment of J. W. Shannflgn on Brannan street, near Fifth. The miss- ing property had been sold to a dealer in second-hand furniture, where it was found by the officers and identified by Shanahan. The latter swore out a warrant in Judge Low’s court for the arrest of Brown, who recently worked in the cleaning-shop con- ducted” by Shanahan. The officers, after investigating the case, felt justified in arresting Hoffman aiso. Both of the men were arrested at the home of Hoffman. The latter stated last night that Brown was very sick and he was waiting on him at the time of the arrest. He denied having even so much as seen a atch of carpet in the establishment of Shanahan. e Threw Him Downstairs. Tom Sue, a Chinese cook at the Marechal Niel Hotel on Ellis street, was in Judge Cam; bell’s court yesterday for assaulting the little son of W, B, Gm};’, who lives near by on the smme street. The boy wanderd into the hotel, and the Chinaman threw him down s flight of stairs and injured him somewhat seriously. The case was continued. Again Divorced. Miss Sierra M. Watson has secured a second divoree from James W. Watson, because of his intemperance. A little over a year ago she secured a divoree from him but married him soon after on his promising to reform. The reform has not followed, so she has secured another divorce. She was allowed $250 coun- sel fees and $75 a month alimony. g e King Lear, Driven Forth Into the eold and rain, had no Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to counteract their effect.

INTERIOR TowNs TAKING GREAT INTEREST IN THE MUTUAL ADVANCE. The idea that the Half Million Club is a moneyed association is gaining ground every day and from the present indications itis likely the idea will have a sound basis. Money isroliing in for the big time next month. New names are being added to the list of membership and publicinterest has reached such a pitch that the secretary and other officers of the club are kept busy every day. Yesterday particularly were times lively around the room of the club on the second floor of the Mills building. In the morn- ing the Finance Committee met in the office of the Union Trust Company at 9 o'clock. The members of the committee were being inquired for at headquarters every few minutes. While people were hunting for them up town the committee was hard at work arranging details and pr}ef)armfi; to gather funds. . P. Sonntag chairman, George A. New- hall, I. W. Hellman Jr., Frank Dalton and Henry J. Crocker, as the Finance Commit- tee, selected the following gentlemen as additional members of the committee, with eight more to be chosen: Manager Kirkpatrick of the Palace Hotel Lippman Sachs, Henry Van Wyck, R. G. Horn, Al Bouvier, William Gerstle, H. T. Scott, B., Ames, Hans Kohler, 8. B. Sbarboro, Louis Ro- senfeld and Samuel C. Hammond. These gentlemen are expected to look up subscriptions in their various lines of business, and have had so many offers of funds that from $5000 to $10,000 will be raised. If any more than that amount is secured a more extensive programme will be arranged for the entertainment of the strangers. ‘Just exactly how much the-committee will be compelled to expend it is hard to y,” said H. P. Sontagg. “Iifthe itinerary is carried out, and there is no doubt it will be, it may take more than $5000. We want $10, to be sure and have enough to carry on the entertainment properly. ‘Whay, in ten minutes this morning one of the committee picked up over $300 from acquaintances on the street. Now, the big corporations have all promised from $200 o $500 each. We will begin collecting the money on Monday, and I feel sure from the way matters are progressing that we will have all the money we need. ““Our rather heavy expense which we are incurring is the printing of the itinerary. This is being gotten up for the benefit of the interior portions of the State free of charge. It will contain descriptive matter of each place to be visited and will be illus- trated. ~ It will be a souvenir of value ich any one may be proud to possess.” The committee on promotion decided yesterday to take no formal action on per- manent membership until the member- ship of the club has been increased to 150. From the way new names are being added it is likely some definite step will be suggested when the committee meets on Monday. These are the charges for the trip as arranged with the railroads by the com- mittee on transportation: From San Francisco to Los Angeles, via Santa Barbara, and return to San Francisco direct, 23 50. From Los Angeles to San Francisco and re- turn to Los Angeles, via Auburn, Santa Rosa and Napa, 1440 miles of travel, $23 50. From San Francisco to Los Angeles via Santa Barbara. and return to San Franciseo via Au- burn, Santa Rosa and the itinerary, $33 15. Pullman rates must be added to'this, but the Pullman agent here has promised that this rate will not exceed $2a day. The Pullman cars will be used for hotel purposes at all points. A dining-car will be attached during ike entire excursion. ‘W. M. Bunker and D. M. Carman went to Napa last night to arrange with the peo- le there for that point to be included. Jalistoga wants the tourists to keep up the line to their site. Other points are begin- ning to ask to be included. Those who desire to take the trip should communicate with W. H. Davis, secretary of the club, Mills_building,.as the officers desire some knowledge of the number who may go from here. The following names were added to the roll yesterday : Theodore Payne, James Cross, E. J. Mc- Cutcheon, J. ¥. Fugazi, Charles A. Zinkind, James Denman, N. J. Brittan, L. P. Drexler, George D. Toy, John Partridge, Lonis Schoen. berg, Edward Bosqui, W. H. Kelley, W. H. Bailey. H. D. Blaisdell, S. M. Hazlett. The California State Floral Society in- tends to co-operate with the club and at its meeting yesterday so decided. DISCUSSED THE NEW WOMAN DR. VOORSANGER THINKS HER EXISTENCE DUE TO MAN’S ‘WEAKNESS. CLoSE OF THE FRIDAY EVENING LECTURES AT TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL. Preaching at the Temple Emanu-El last night, Dr. Jacob Voorsanger delivered an able exposition of his views on the “New ‘Woman.” He started by saying that about a year ago he was unfortunate enough to make a few innocent remarks which caused a tem- pest in the teapot of the Women’s Press Association. One or two good criticisms made at the time induced him to go further into the subject,which he discussed last evening. The reverend gentleman stated that he recently saw a caricature of a twentieth century woman conducting her husband to the theater, and asking him ta remain inside while she retired for the purpose of partaking of liquid refreshment. “Now,” continued Dr. Voorsanger, “a caricature is a reductio ad absurdum, but when ever I see one I receive a warning of ‘the coming events which cast their shadows before.” A caricature always in- dicates that there-is something wrong in society. No man caricatures anything against which there is nothing to say.” “‘It is unreasonable that there should be one standard of morality for man and one for woman. The law of mutunal obligation requires that there shall bea fair and equal division of responsibility between man and woman."” 3 In the further course of his address the rabbi treated of woman as she was re- garded in ancient Greece and Rome, and gave it as his opinion that the new woman exists because of the weakness of man, and that she can be the ideal of man at the same time as the law of mutual responsi- bility exists. b Rabbi M. 8. Levy's discourse at the Temple Beth Israel was entitled, “The Aftermath,” and was devoted to a resume of the work of the season. In the course of his remarks Dr. Levy congratulated the members of Beth Israel on the uniform good attendances, and said that it was but meet that, considering the inconveniences attendant upon the observance of the Sab- bath day, the Friday evening services (of which he was the originator in this city) should be recognized as a potent factor in Jewish communal worship. During the evening a special programme of music was rendered under the direction of Professor H. J. Stewart, assisted by the choir of the Temple Beth Israel. GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER. The Jury’s Verdictin the Case of Maggie < Russell. The case of Maggie Russell, charged with the murder of her husband, went to the jury last evening, and a verdict of man- slaughter was brought in. The defendant and her 12-year-old son were both on the stand for the defense yes- terday morning, and they told a tale of brutality which' has seldom been equaled in the courts. The theory of the defense was that she was driven to desperation by the acts of the man, and that the shooting could not be called a crime. The crime was committed in November last. Mrs. Russell was standing in her | vard, when she heard her husbnm? coming after her, threatening as he came, and as | he stepped through the doorway she drew | a pistol which she had previously secreted | on her person and shot {flm dead. P S G — JUSTIOE TO MRS. SHARPE. Benjamin Clark Takes Up the Cudgel in Her Defense. Tuesday’s CALL contained a paragraph to the effect that Frank P. Sharpe of this city | had denied that the lady lying ill at the American Exchange Hotel was the wife of his brother, C. C. Sharpe. The paragraph was read by Benjamin Clark, secretary of the British Benevolent Society, who said yesterday: “I have this day seen a certificate of marriage in which it is shown that Charles Carr Sharpe, hair- dresser, was married to Miss Ellen Thomp- son, the lady referred to in the CaLr, on the 11th of December, 1894, by the Rev. W. F. Garry, vicar of Bt. Mary the Virgin, Reading, England.” SHOT HIMSELF T0 DEATE. FRED C. HALL, A COLORED MAN, BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS IN HIs Room. HE Was ONCE IMPRISONED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE IN SALT LAkE CrITY. Fred C. Hall, a mulatto, about 32 years of age, shot himself through the head and died almost instantly in room 64 at 733 Market street, this city, at an early hcur yesterday morning. The tragedy was not known in the house until 3 p. M. yesterday when Hall's body was found cold and stiff lying across a bed, with his head and shoulders in a mass of coagulated blood and a bullet hole through his skull. The | Coroner was notified and the body was | taken to the Morgue. ! The deceased had been in the house where he died only two days. He came to | this citv on the Australia from Honolulu | last Wednesdav. It is evident from corre- | spondence found in his trunk and on his | person that he has worked as a barber and | has also followed railroading, probably as | a Pullman-car porter. | It is also clear from a further perusal of his correspondence that Hall had been ac- cused of a serious crime in Utah, and that he spent several weeks awaiting trial in the Utah penitentiary. A letter from his attorneys, Evans and Rogers of Ogden, re- fers to the refusal of a motion to reduce his bail of $1000 in the Criminal Court at Og- den. Another letter from friendsin Omaha, George Johnson and wife, reviews a Tcriod | of two years when deceased was a lodger in their house. In the letter they assure him that they do not believe him guilty of such a heinous offense because he had always treated their daughter with the ut- most respect. ‘Whether he was subsequently tried and | acquitted, or escaped, or convicted and [ made to serve a term is not made known by the letters in his possession. Among the various letters found was one ad- | dressed to ““H. H. Hall, head waiter, Pal- | ace Hotel.”” The deceased left nothing to indicate why he did the desperate deed. The fatal wound was made by a 38-caliber revolver. Hall had $10 10 in his pockets. ————————— The Bremer Club Will Entertain.

One of the Remarkable Achievements of the Science of the Age. [From the Herald, South Bend, Washington.] Tt falls to our lot this week to tell our readers, and especially those who are not blessed with perfect health, of one of the greatest and simplest remedies of the centur%’. Personally we enjoy the very best of health, year in and year out, but among our friends is J. L. Meyers, pro- prietor of the Broadway Pharmacy, 2 man who knows his business thoroughly, is en- tirely wedded to chemistry and hygiene, and often ‘“talks shop.” One evening the sonversation turned on new discoveries in rugs. He told us that one of our mutual friends, John Wyandt, a locomotive en- ineer, owed his health to a new medicine own as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills_and that Mrs. Lawler, the wife of Patrick Law- ler, cooper at the Tannin Extract Works, and well known in this city, has been raised by them from what her friends thought was her death bed. Having had our attention called to the matter so particularly we have since found that everybody has a good word for Pink Pills, and especially were we interested in the case of Mrs. Lawler. Finally we called at her home and asked her to tell us if Pink Pills iad really done as much for her as had peen told. ~She said they had and she would repeat the facts to me. Mrs. Lawler said: “Two years and a half ago I was taken sick. Ithen lived in Ta- coma, and for five weeks was not able to turn myself in bed. My husband and boys lifted me around and cared for me, and they scarcely hoped for .my recovery. I could eat nothing, was simfly ‘worn out, “I sent for the Pink Pills'and I began taking them. It said in the directions that they should be taken immediately after eating so I ate lightly, then took the pills, and then in two days was able to sit up. Intwo weeksI was up and around, and was able to make the trip of 125 miles by cars to South Bend where my husband had gone to work. “Since that time I have been well and have done my own work, and now when 1 feel worn out ox ill T always take Pink Pills and they help me at once. I have in thetwo fy"“ and a half, used twenty-one boxes of them and we all use them when we are feeling out of sorts. I have recom- mended them to many of my friends, and they always helped them, and I can say to all mothers that they will find them a fiond medicine to build them up, cure eadaches, dizziness and the ills which 80 often beset them.” Mr. Lawler also stated that he had often taken Pink Pills. That he used to be troubled with sick headache and dizziness in the morning, but that Pink Pills had cured him. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood ang restore shaitered nerves, They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for §250. NEW TO-DAY.
