The Financlal Difficulties of an Old and Well-Known Carpet- House. James Duffy & Co., dealers in carpets, window-shades, wall-papers, etc., at 811 Market street, are supposed to be involved in legal and financial difficuities, the straightening out of which promises to involve it in more than the ordinary in- solvency proceedings. Late yesterday afternoon an attachment against the firm was issued and filed, but the execution was withheld until the first of the week. The complainant named is Florence Hess, Olga Heyman, Anna Sophia L. J. Ackerman, but it is known that the ) e “Q FAIR YOUNG GRADUATES AT THE GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL, [Sketched last night by a “Call artist.] were ranged before the footlights and the | stars and stripes covered the walls. Round | the musi czl conducto: tand was twined a long cluin of ivy, terminating in a2 wreath at its base. | The ‘tors were shown to seats by s of the High School, who were robed in white, with white mortarboard hats adorned with gold tassels. The musi- cal part of the programme was furnished by a volunteer orchestra of twenty pieces, urder the direction of Miss Anna von Meyerinck. The first item on the programme was “Belles of San Francisco,” played by the orchestra. By special request this was encored, and during the repetition of the number the girls of the graduation class appeared at the back of the stage, march- ing with slow and dignified steps to the seats reserved for them on the platform. At a signal from the leader the girls took their seats and President H. L. Dodge of the Board of Education was introduced. Ina few short sentences of welcome, as cheirman of the evening, Mr. Dodge re- viewed the history of public schools in California. He stated that there are in this State 90,000 children under the age of 17. Of that number some 60,000 are en- titled to admission to the public schools. Mr. Dodge concluded with a pleasing ad- dress to the graduating class. After a song by the class entitled, “While the Days are Bright,” Lily Hoh- field read an essay entitled, *Ideal Aspira- tions.” This paper was of a retrospective character, treating of ambition, will and courage as factorsin the formation of the human character. Reverence for man was the subjectof the next paper, written by Grace Sellon. This young lady devoted her remarks to an amplification of Browning’s lines: more reverence, madam. not for rank or wealth—that needs 1o learning. That comes quickly, quick as sin does, aye, and culminates to sin; But for Adam’s seed, man! Trust me, 'tis a clay above your scorning, With God's image stamped upon it, and God's kindling breath within. School Director Charles A. Murdock was satroduced and congratulated the voung ladies upon taking their first important step in life. - e was of the opinion that the Girls’ High School is the only building of which the San Francisco School Department may be proud. He exhorted the young gradu- ates to remember but two small sentences of advice he would give them: “Be patient; he of good courage.” fs Next on the programme was a recitation by Miss Evelyn K. Aronson entitled “A e in Early California.” The young reciter described a typical horse race between two vaqueros at the period when $he “golden akelaton st Aay within the sleeping body of California.”” Miss Aron- son won the applause of the audience. Miss Grace Davis sang one of Gounod’s serenades in a creditable manner, after which Helena Stack, who was ereeted with encouraging cheers from her comrades, read a paper called “Cui Bono?” (What’s the Good?) She spoke of a student’s strug- les in search of knowledge, and made her ero ascend to the stars in a dream, where he is introduced to three muses, history, science and literature, each of whom obligingli" held a conversation with him, stating their influence upon the human tribe. This paper was cleverly worked out. The remainder of the programme was as follows: , “The Gates of Ivory and Hor: P&:;y. reading, “An Ori %nnl Poe Browning; vocal solo, aria from ‘‘Barber of Beville” (Rossini), Grace Davis; essay, “The Human Voice,” Caroline Herrin; trio. a “Lift Thine Eyes,” b “Farewell to the Forest” (Men- delssohn) (arranged bg Mrs. Anna von Meyer- inck), sopranos—Maud Cornish, Grace Davis, Rebe McFeely, May Nolan, Georgia Wightman: mezzo sopranos — Susie Dimond, Isabelle Evans, Maud Fay, Caroline Herrin, Mabel Metrovich; altos — Isabelle Davies, Estelle Deyidson,Florence Ewing,Blanche Fairweather &nd Alice Sturges; recitation, scene from “Tale of Two Cities” (Dickens) Emily Coey; music, “Mill in the Forest” (Eilenberg). Miss Emily Coey’s recitation, taken from the “Tale of Two Cities,” was well re- Johnstone, Hattie May Milliken, May Nolan, Ethel Lol N. lita Perkins, Nettie N. Roth, Grace A. Sheideman, Annette Slomsky, Lyllian Char- lesena Stewart, Elizabeth Sullivan, Sophie Wertheimer, Olga Westerfeld, Bertha Emily Weule, Georgle Moffatt Wightman. The song, ‘“Graduate’s Farewell,” brought the evening to a close. After the proceedings terminated the gradnated class held a reception, when their friends were shown round the schoolrooms and the building. During the exercisesa beautifnl basket of flowers was presented to Mrs. Anna von Meyerinck, who had officiated as musical director. The following members of the Board of Education were present: Deputy Superin- tendent Babcock, Charles A. Murdock, Charles B. Stone, Thomas R. Carew, Augus- tus Comte, A. McElroy, H. C. Henderson, James Denman, E. L. Wagner. TRAINING VIOIOUS HORSES. Professor Gleason Gives a Wonderful Exhibition of Skill. Professor Gleason’s horse-training exhi- bition at the Mechanics’ Pavilion was well patronized last evening. Over 2000 people attended the show, called out by the an- nouncement that the professor would con- tinue his efforts in subduing a vicious animal belonging to a butcher in the Mission that bad given him so much troutle on the previous night, and finally concluded an evening of vicious antics by breaking into the crowd gathered about the sawdust ring. The owner of this wicked brute had given him up as a hopeless case, and thought to have alittle fun with the horse- trainer when he entered the animal for a few lessons in good manners. The horse has a bad record, and his picture ought to be in the rogues’ gallery. Before hewas three years old he had ‘kicked a man to death, and early inlife manifested a de- s‘grehtw use his teeth on everything in sight. At five his owner attempted to train him to harness and buggy, but_gave it up after having three sulkies kicked to shreds. He was not only & kicker, but a bucker and a biter as well. Once three men harnessed him to a sulky. For half an hour they coaxed him to move and then ‘ried the whip. It was of no avail. The animal would not stir one inch out of his tracks. Some one suggested the old method of lighting a fire under him, and a match was touched to a bundle of straw. He moved then, but it was a horizontal movement, and accompanied by such dis- astrous results to the sulky that no one had ventured to harness him until Prcfes- sor Gleason took him in hand on Friday evening. Last night was his second les- son, and he was not long in showing evi- dences of his uely temper. After a few preliminary maneuvers he was harnessed to a vehicle, and at once commenced to kick viciously at everything in sight. For some time Gleason could not get him in motion—the right kind of motion—but finally, after much patient work, he was started around the ring. Gradually he was urged into a trot, which was frequently interrupted by the highest kicking that has ever been seen in the Pavilion. X¥or an hour the professor worked upon his stubborn charge, and at the end of that time a docileand obedient animal had been evolved—an animal|that refused to kiek even when the sulky was runon to his heels. Dozens of times he was driven around the ring, and_obeyed promptly the command to stop and go ahead. Several other animals were treated with a like result. . Professor Gleason will close his_exhibi- tions in this City with a testimonial benefit from the horsemen of San Francisco next Tuesday evening. At this time he will handle, without Topes or straps, a vicious horse in a 24-foot ring. ———— Special Baggage Notice. Round-trip transfer tickets on sale at re duced rates at our office oNxLY.

Morton Special Delivery. 31 Geary street, 408 Taylor street and Oakland ferry depot.* e It is claimed that there are fifty-five dogs i; t:f United States to every 1000 inhabi- ! real plaintiff is the carpet-importing firm of D. N. & E. Walter & Co. of 531 Market street, whose claim amounts to $6001. Last Friday a meeting of the creditors of James Duffy & Co. was held, at which John P. Jourden, the active partner of the concern, stated that his liabilitiesamounted to $27,000, but that there were assets of about the same amount. Those who at- tended the mecting are very reticent about the matier, including Mr. Jourden him- self, but it is known that the latter offered to settle with his creditors on a basis of 35 cents in secured notes. This offer was rejected, Mr. Walter threatening an attachment. Yesterda aiternoon this attachment was filed. It covers the stock and fixtures of the store in the Flood building on Market streetand several pieces of real estate in this City. All of the real estate, however, had been deeded to other persons or homesteaded before the attachments were filed. Yes- terday at 11 o’clock John R. Jourden filed a second homestead claim upon his resi- dence at Twenty-second and Howard streets, a previous homestead having been filea on the same pr?ferty about & week ago by his wife, Lucy H. Jourden. The Walter attachment also covers real estate at California and Octavia streets and Valencia and Seventeenth streets, *‘re- corded in the name of Annie M. Duffy”; also Annie M. Duffy’s interest in three blocks of the Flint Tract Homestead Asso- ciation, ‘“‘recorded in the name of Eliza- beth M. Wilson;” also real estate at Bry- ant and Clinton streets and at_Clementina and Second streets, ‘‘recorded in the name of Elizabeth M. Wilson and Lucy H. Jourden.” This attachment was not filed in the Recorder’s office until after 12 o’clock yvesterday afternoon. Meantime, on May 29, Annie M. Duffy had deeded the California and Octavia streets property to her daughter, Annie G. Duffy, and the Clementina and Second streets property to Elizabeth M. Wilson; while John P.Jourden had, on the same date, deeded the Bryant and Clinton streets property to Lucy H. Jourden. And so it &%uearu that the creditors of James Duffy & Co. will be compelled to rely upon the assets of the firm for their money, unless they can see a way of hav- ing some of these deeds set aside. Mr. ‘Walter thinks he can see such a_way and means to press the matter to the last. Be- ing a member of the Board of Trade, Mr. ‘Walter has placed the matter in the hands of that association’s attorney, Joseph Kirk. But there are heavier creditors than the ‘Walter Company. One of these is the National Wall Paper Association, better known as the wall-paper trust, whose claim amounts to $12,000. The Tallant Banking Company and W. and J. Sloane & Co. are also creditors, but not for large amounts, it is said. The debt to the wafiqmper trust is for stock consumed within the last two years. Mr. Stack, who represents the trust on the coast, is in the East at present, and what the action of the trust will be can hardly be known before he returns. Seven years ago James Duffy, the founder of the troubled firm, died, and his place was taken by Mr. Jourden, a brother of the widow. The members of the firm since then have been John P. Jourden and the widow, Annie M. Duffy. Mr. Jour- den is also interested in the Occidental Vinegar Works. Mr. Jourden said yester- day that he expected to pull through the present difliculty. It was caused by a number of bad bills, he said, and by a fall- ing off in business. He said many of his creditors had expressed their sympathy and promised to accept his terms. AFTER MANY MONTHS. Sandy McFadden Arrested for Assault to Murder. Sandy McFadden, a powerfully built man, was arrested yesterday and booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to murder. The complaining witness was John Powers, an old man living at 46 Clemen- tina street. A few days prior to the last election Powers was walking down Second street, when McFadden met him. Some words passed between them, when McFad- den knocked Powers down. In falling Powers’ head struck against ithe curbstone and his skull was fractured. He hovered between life and death for some time, but gradually recovered. McFadden left the City and returned a few days ago. As soon as it became known that he was again in the City Powers took measures to have him arrested. i McFadden declined to say anything about his arrest. At the time of the as- sault, however, it was stated by his friends that Powers was making remarks deroga- tory to an association of which he wasa member. MR. EMERIC'S DREAM, The Fish Commissioner Tells He Came to Invent His Fa- mous Spinner. Fish Commissioners Emeric and Mur- dock had read in the CaLr that Charles Fair had written to Henry Skinner that he (Charles Fair) had taken about the first of the summer school of salmon at Santa Cruz. They were at once ready for the en- counter with the lordly fish. They took Henry Skinner into their confidence and showed him a can chock tull of fresh sardines, laid nicely and snugly down in brine. This apparently was Mr. Murdock’s device, for he removed the lid with a sort of boastful tenderness and called Skinner’s attention to the contents. The champion fly-catcher asked very naturally: “Why don’t you wait and iet your sar- dines down there, Mr. Murdock ?” The Fish Commissioner smiled pleas- antly at the inquiring Skinner. ¢ “In the first place, Henry,” he said, “because the sargines are hard to get at Santa Cruz just now. In thesecond place, becanse this can and this brine is my in- vention, and if I bought my sardines in Santa Cruz no one would see it.”” s Here Mr. Emeric, whose name will go down to posterity in connection with his marvelous spinner, took part in the con- tion. “Your pride in your can is q laudable, Murdock,” he said, ‘“but you might have lived to the age of Methu- selah and never invented a spinner.” “Perhaps you are right,” rejoined Mr. Murdock, coldly, “but of this thing be sure, that if I ever did invent a spinner it will be a spinner that will be good for more than one_jay’s work.”” An ominous flush came on Mr. Emeric’s bronzed features. “Do you mean, Murdock,”” he said coldly, “to cast any reflection upon my spinner—the Emeric spinner?”’ “Certainly not,” replied Mr. Murdock cordially. ““Of course not,” said Mr. Skinner, throw- ing oil upon the troubled waters. ‘The entire fishing community owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Emeric for his spinner.” The white wings of the dove of peace having been thus adroitly induced to cast their harmonious shade over the anglers, Mr. Emeric explained that the manufac- turers put up his spinners with a degree of tragility which, though good perhaps for the trade, was apt to bring curse words to the angler who saw his fish, after a moderate strainon the line, sail off with the tackle business in his mouth. ‘“‘Perish these recollections,” said Skin- ner. ‘I hope, gentlemen, that you will both do good work at Santa Cruz.”’ And then Commissioner Emeric went on to tell how he invented his famous spin- ner. It happened one day on Lake Lagunitas. Mr. Emeric had fished long and faithfully with a spoon that would not spin. Then he sat down under the shade of one of the monster madrones that grew on the lake shore an fell asleep. It might have been an hour, but asa matter of record it wasonly ten minutes ere Mr. Emeric awoke. There was a glad and triumphant smile upon his handsome face, he stalked toward his boat lying idly at her moorings, With the air of a man who had solved a problem, and there were the most substantial reasons for his self-gra tu- lation. During that dream the combination of the spinner which was to bear his name for all succeeding time came to him all unsolicitous that he was. With quick but intelligent action he twisted the wire into the revealed shape, and while a cloud for asecond lay across the broad face of the sun_the first Emeri¢ spinner was launched on the bosom of Lake Lagunitas. The trout sprang for it, and the triumphant inventor laughed till the bordering woods echoed his glee and the predatory heron spread its wings and directed its clumsy flight to the solitudes of Tamalpais moun- tain. When Mr. Emeric’s basket was full he left the lake, feeling that his memory was safe and that the traveler from Nova Scotia, seated perchance on a broken arch of the Roman bridge of Stow Lake, might sketch the ruins of Huntington Falls. b OCTORS. NEW FELD Particulars Which Leaked Out About an Oakland Treat- ment. How Pathetic Story Told in an Interview With a Banker From Red- ding, Cal. Dr. J. P. Sarsfield, who has offices in the Nucleus building, Third and Market streets, San Francisco, opposite the Chronicle building, several years ago established at 1103 Filbert street, Oakland, a sanitarium for blood diseases and kindred complaints. This is his specialty. His institution has been continually filled with patients from all parts of this coast. As soon as one leaves another comes in to fill his place. The whole catalogue of blood diseases are there represented—scrofula, eczema, syphi- lis and the resultant troubles, as con- sumption, cancers, hip disease, sores, ab- scesses, fistula, sciatica and inflammatory rheumatism, etc. Patients who have been attended by Dr. Sarsfield for all these diseases claim to be cured up soundly. They say the doctor does not claim to cure consumption nor cancer in their worst forms, but claims he can stop the growth of the worst cancer with his blood remedy. Quite a number of men and women who have attended his institu- tion claim to have been cured of consump- tion. People who have been operated upon for cancer, bip disease and fistula by noted surgeons without being cured say they gaxvde been cured up soundly by Dr. Sars- eld. James McCormick, who was at one time vice-president of the Bank of Red- ding, said when interviewed: “I was cured by Dr. Sarsfield of fistula in its worst form after T had suffered eight years. I was nothing but a skeleton.”” Said he: “Don’t you know, the regular practitioners in- variably operate for this trouble. Dr. Sarsfield cured me in a little less than four months. He used a blood remedy and an ointment. He has cured many prominent people of the same trouble. There are more man suffering with this trouble than ou would imagine, Sciatic rheumatism 1s nothing but the result of rectal ulcer. I can name some of the cures he has made: A. Scheline, 937 Wood street, Oakland, hip disease four years’ standing; Mrs. E. G. Foster, Grass Valley, tumor; William A. Deane, Chronicle office, fistula; a child of Mrs. R. Hansen, at Clements, Cal., of necrosis of the bone of both legs, one ieg being dislocated at the knee joint as the result of an operation by a doctor of Stock- ton; Mrs. L. P. Henderson, of cancer; R. Brownson of Oakland, rectal ulcer; and a friend of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, the phil- anthropist and kindergarten teacher, by the name of Mrs. Henry Goodridge, of malignant ulcers. There are hundreds of others. In all these cases Dr. Sarsfield uses his blood remedy with marvelous effect. This is a wonderful remedy. It Tequires several days for the doctor to distill this blood remedy. He has very costly apparatus just for this purpose, and he has been obliged to doubla aud redouble its capacity several times since he opened his sanitarium.” ——————— Txg:dz is an article on this market seldom equaled and never excelled—Jesse Moore Whis- ky.

Streets to Be Opened and Closed by the Street Superintendent Only. The annual meeting of the Merchants’ Association last Wednesday evening dem- onstrated one thing, that was ?l)at the efforts and work accomplished by its board of directors during the past year were very satisfactory to all. This encouragement will incite the new board to even greater efforts, and they have already set to work in earnest. They are carefully reviewing the suggestions made by the several speak- ers at the meeting. The practicable fea- tures will be adopted and put in operation as soon as possible. David Rich of the Half-million Club made several sugges- tions which have practicably been accepted. Ernest McCullough’s ideas will next re- ceive the attention of the directors. As soon as the latter know exactly what they want they will arrange their ideas in a petition to the Board of Supervisors. Among the 1deas already accepted and which the Supervisors will be requested to enforce is the fencing of lots so that sand and dirt cannot drift upon the sidewalks and into the streets. The owners will be required to fence in their property when the ground is higher than the streets. Another will be the passage of an ordi- nance compelling contractors erecting and tearing down buildings where sand and mortar is used to_erect a fence around the edges of the sidewalks, so that the refuse will not be scattered all over the streets, as is the case with the Safe Deposit building improvements on California and Montgomery streets. The association will request the enact- ment of an ordinance relative to the open- ng and closing of street pavements by individuals and corporations having fran- chises to lady water and gas pipes and underground wires. These people take but little pains in restoring the pavement after they are through with their work and the resultis the streets are ruined. The merchants propose that the City shall at- tend to the reconstruction of ovened streets and that those who cause the work to be done shall pay for the cost. The police and Supervisors will be asked to see that more attention is paid to gar- bufe carts and that the drivers are com- pelled to comply with the law requiring that such carts shall be covered with can- vas while passing through the streets, and thus prevent ashes, dust and filth from being blown broadcast. Another ordinance will be asked for prohibiting the painting of objectionable signs upon the dead walls of the City. In the same ordinance will be a clause, the purpose of which will be to reduce the size and number of signs on places of busi- ness. Theidea is that mammoth adver- tisements on business houses, on the prin- cipal streets especially, detract from the general good appearance of the City. If all storekeepers and merchants would de- crease the dimeunsions of their signsto a uniform size the general appearance of the City would be greatly improved. The nu- merous cheap cloth banners strung across the entire face of buildings announcing goods sold at Sheriff’s_and creditors’ sales impresses the visitor with the idea that the entire City is in the hands of creditors. Still another important matter will be impressed upon the minds of the Super- visors—the necessity of making provision for the Street Superintendent’s depart- ment, so that he can make repairs to streets at once. Many small holes and breaks in the pavements have remained unrepaired for months because the Super- intendent of Streets has no money to do the work. Matters will remain in this condition until after the 1st of July. Upon the adyice of the consulting engi- neer, Ernest McCullough, an ordinance will be framed permitting the use of asphalt as well as bitumen. Asphalt makes a superior pavement when scientifi- cally. mixev}’with sand, carbonate of lime, etc., but it costs more. Bitumen is asphalt that nature has mixed with these and other ingredients, and consequently the proportions are not always the same. As a result one part of a street will wear better than another. At present the specifications name only bitu- men, and the merchants believe that if the property-owners want to stand the ex- pense of ¥utting down better materials they should have the privilege. By the time the next Legislature meets the Merchants’ Association will have framed an act by which the City can com- pel street and other contractors to guaran- tee their work for two, three or five years, the same as in the large Eastern cities. Under the present law this cannot be done. Hence the shoddy work that begins to break up as soon as accepted. ROBBED BY MASKED MEN. Roy Goldberg, Alias Howard, Has an Unpleasant Experience in His Room. Bennett Wiseman, 18 years of age, was booked at the City Prison last night by Policeman George Collins on a charge of robbery. About 6 o’clock Collins’ attention was attracted by cries of ‘“Police! Help?” coming from a window in the lodging- house 109 Grant avenue. The cries came from Roy Goldberg, alias Howard, who occupied room 3. When Collins entered the room Wiseman was there with his hands and feet bound with cord. Gold- berg’s feet were also. bound. Goldberg told Collins that he wanted Wiseman arrested for robbing him of $195. ‘Wiseman, after being taken to the prison, said that he had nothing to do with the Tobbery. He was a friend of Goldberg, and between 5 and 6 o’clock called to see him. He was sitting in the room reading a news- 83})91-, when two masked men entered. ne seized Goldberg and tied his hands and feet, and the otfier paid the same at- tention to Wiseman and threw him face down on the bed. They then searched their pockets. Wiseman had $1 50 in one of his pockets which they overlooked. but Goldberg said he had $195 in his pockets which they took. Wiseman denied that he knew who the two men were. Goldberg is well xnown to the police. A few weeks ago he was arrested in Portland and brought here on a Superior Court warrant chargine him with perjury in falsely swearing to the age of a young " girl whom he married and took to Portland, where he placed her in a house of ill fame. Comfortable Traveling. The most comfortable route to the East sum- mer or winter is the Santa Fe route. The sleep- ing-cars are superior and the meals en route are unequales.. There is less dust and no more heat than on any other line. A popular misbelief is that extreme heat pre- vails on this line in summer, while the fact is that the elevation of the whole line insures as comfortable a temperature as can be found on even the most northerly line. The northern part of Arizona is the summer resort of the people of that section, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is visited in the summer m%gth!s::cl\xsyively. s e ta Fe route is first class all the wa; through to Chicago. The ticket office is 650 Market street, Chronicle building. The Pujl. mean sleepers run without change from San Francisco to Chicago via Kansas Oity. - —————— In France a ve ood gas i the fatty mnteri_afi{ ogonux‘i:ed“irl:n :g: s‘;g;: suds atter washing wools and yarns.

ONLY LEGALLY WARRIED Lord and Lady Sholto Douglas Waiting for the Church’s Sanction. The Groom Goes to Burlingame for a Rest—The Bride Remalns on the Stage. The anticipated religious solemnization of the marriage between the legal Lord and | Lady Sholto Douglas did not take place yesterday. Lord Sholto is off to Bur- lingame for a day’s rest or two this morn- | ing, and when he returns arrangements will be made for the religious ceremony at | St. Mary’s Cathedral. Meanwhile Lady Sholto is only such in name and by the laws of the State, which sanction the legal bond and make it bind- ing. The religious scruples of the bride and groom do not sanction the legal bond. They are living apart yet and will remain so until the sanction of the church has been added to that of the law. Lady Sholto is living with her mother on Leavenworth street, near the Audi- | torium, where she is billed as the star of a not inconsiderable or unmeritorious vande- ville company, while her husband—by law and name only—as yet lives near by in an Eddy-street rooming-house. He was at the theater last night, though he did not apvear in front of the house any longer than it took thim to go from Manager Moore’s private office to the stage door. He came to see Mr. Moore to have his wife’s engagement canceled, if possible. But it was not possible, according to Mr. Moore's standpoint. “I have a contract with Miss Loretta Addis for an indefinite period,” says Mr. Moore, “‘and I assured Lord Douglas that I could not think of relinquishing ic.” *For a consideration? Oh, well, that is another matter. I hold Miss Addis, or Lady Sholto, to her engagement because it is profitable to do so. If it were more %romable to break the engagement— ut then that is a bridge not even in sight, and I do not care to discussit. Lord Sholto appealed to me on the basis that my con- tract was void because the lady’s name has chnt:iud. I assured him that' I had con- sulted an attorney on that score, and that I had been advised that the contract is good, and I mean to hold her to it.”’ ““Lord Sholto should have waited until the engagement was overand then married my daughter,” said Mrs. Mooney. “But, bless you, he was in such a hurry to tie the knot that he could not even wait till he heard from his folks in England.” ‘‘Yes; I suppose that's my name,” said a plump little black-eyed damsel, all in a flaring red gown that covered her stage costume, when Mr. Moore introduced her as Lady Sholto Douglas. “I wonder why the public can’t let us rest a bit. now that we are married. Oh, yes, I know; they say I married him for his name and his money. First they said I couyldn’! marry him, and now they say I didn c?marry him because I liked him. Well, I don’t care much what they say. It makes no difference to us. Would I have married him if he were only plain Jobn Smith? If I had liked him I would. 1 wouldn’t marry any man I didn’t like, if he were a dozen times a lord and a couple of kings in the bargain. “Am I gomIg to London? Oh, some day, I suppose. don’t know. We have'nt made any vlans yet. Lord Sholto has not heard from his folks yet in England. Let’s see, it was two weeks ago and more that he wrote, telling them we were going to be married. Oh, we must wait two more weeks {iet. I wanted him to put off the wedding Ilthen, but he insisted—and—well, he his way, as a man always does, I sup- P i ‘Oh, I don't know what they will do about the contract.

W t e . have’nt set the date for the marriage the church, and we won’t be really nn‘? truly married till that bappens. ““Oh, no; it doesn’t trouble me in the least being a lady and all that. Why should it? I told him long ago that I was as good as he and my mother and sisters and brothers as good” as his folks or any- body’s. That’s my number. Now I must goon.

Off went her red wrap and before the footlights tripped a light- hearted brunette, who looks scarcely her 18 years. n another instant she was bowing to the shower of applause that greeted her and reaching down to pull up the huge floral piece of maiden’s-hair ferns, fin France roses and lilies, all tied with pink ribbons. It was trulir a beautiful piece and as tall as the little woman who }vroudl_v carried it to one side of the stage. n the center of it was the inscription: LADY SHOLTO DOUGLAS. It was Manager Moore's offering to the bride of his company. Lord Sholto stood in the wings all the while until heract was over. *Of course I shall take her off the stage,” he said, “‘and the sooner I can do it the better pleased I shall be. We have made no definite arrangements yet, because [ am waiting to hear from my folks. A good deal will degend on their attitude, on’t you know. But I don’t expect any trouble. Why shouldn’t I marry any good girl I choose?” Ican’t say anything more now. You must excuse me. I'm off to Burlingame in the morning for a few days’ rest after all this fuss and excitement, and when I come back the wedding at the church will be arranged.” ALONG THE WATER FRONT, A Short Strike for Higher Wages on the Steamer T.
