Wright of this City, long prominent in so- cial and musical circles and now president of the Young Ladies’ Saturday Morning of Ross Valley is the grandmother of Miss | Wright on her mother’s side.

She is a bru- nette, tall, beautifully formed and has a strikingly handsome and expressive face. She is also the possessor of a soprano voice of rare timbre, which she has been culti- vating during the last two years under the guidance of Francis Stewart of this city. Mr. McClure is better known throughout the southernfimrt of the State than in San Francisco. e is a veteran newspaper man, though only 28 years of age, having owned and edited papers since he was 16, at which period in his life he became the editor of the Wellsville Democrat, a Miss- souri daily paper, and gained the sobri- %uet throughout the country of *“The Kid ditor,” a title which was bestowed upon him by the Missouri Press Association.

She Was Thrown From Her Bicycle and the Drug Was Used as a Liniment. Annie Bassoni, a dressmaker, who lived with Mrs. L. Waugemann, at 430 Golden Gate avenue, was accidentally poisoned Friday night. She had been out practic- ing on a bicycle and was accidentally thrown to the ground. She hurt her breast, and when she reached home com- plained of severe pain. Some extract of malt and an aconite liniment were pro- cured for her, and the latter was rubbed on her chest giving her some relief. The malt extract was taken internally. During the evening Miss Bassoni became restless and asked for some of the malt ex- tract. Mrs. Waugemann poured out what she thought was the extract, and the girl drank it. She knew at once that it was the wrong medicine, and an examination showed she had taken the aconite lini- ment. Dr. D. Morris Harvey was at once called in, and worked over the patient un- | til 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning, when she died. Mrs. Waugemann is completely furosmmad by the terrible occurrence, and ears are entertained for her reason. Detective Handley,who lives in the same house, was the first informed of the acci- dent. He it was who called in the doctor and afterward informed the Coroner. He gave a detailed account of the terrible mis- take to Coroner Hawkins, and the body was only kept a few minutes in the Morgue, the return of the autopsy physi- cian being ‘‘accidental death from aconite poisoning.” —————— CatareH cured and no pay until cuerd “We do not know what can be done | Treatment at oitice free. 925 Howard street, * FOR THE NATIONAL DAY Work of the Committee on the Fourth of July Cele- bration.

Respectfully yours, FRANK DALTON, Chairman Finance Committee, e g LADIEY' HELP DESIRED, ‘Will They Take Care of the Little Chil- dren on the Fourth of July ? ‘Will the ladies take care of the children on the Fourth of July? That is the question at the headquarters of the Fourth of July committee, If they will see that the children from out of town and those from the various institutions are provided by the street railway companies with transportation and have a place on the grand stand, and food and amusement in plenty, they will relieve the gentlemen | members of the committee from a respon- sibility to which they are confessedly un- equal.” This is an opportunity for the ladies of San Francisco to show patriotism as well as charity. “The regnant thought is how to fill the day with the greatest happiness to the children,” said Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, resident of the ladies’ auxiliary of the Fourth of July committee. She was at her home, 1906 Vallejo street,and was engaged in studying the Sunday-school lesson for to-day, when the doorbell called her from that duty to the less inviting one of being interviewed. ‘“The busiest people have the most time to spare.” Evidently the old saw still has some hold upon the popular mind or Mrs. Cooper would not have been appointed to the chairmanship of this new committee. Connected, as_sheis, so prominently with the woman suffrage movement, the kinder- garten system and kindred work, it would seem that she had not a moment of time nor_an iota of strength to spare. yet the chairmanship was urged upon her because of her eminent fitness for that position. She has promised to do her best, and every- body knows that Mrs. Cooper's bestisa great deal. ““I have not called the ladies together for conference yet, and it is probable that we shall hold most of our meetings in connec- tion with those of the other committees,” she said. *‘Our plans are still socrude that there is little to say as to detas The mat- ter of assembling four or five thousand children on the grand stand that they may see the parade is considered, but I am sure the ladies will not assume the charge of that number of children unless the parents are with them. It would not be safe. ‘“‘After the parade they will be taken to the Golden Gate Park, which is an ideal iace for the entertainment of children. We will provide food enough to fill any number of little stomachs, and that is promising a good deal, for that organ in the average boy is capable of wonderful distention. “We are anxious to reach the orphans who are in the various asylums and the small inmates of the similar institutions.” The auestiun, “Why hayve not the ladies responded more generally to the invita- tion to assist in the celebration?” was asked. Mrs. Cooper’s pride as a suffragist was touched, and she answered: *I think they have quite as generally as their brothers. There were nine women at the meeting of the entertainment committee on Friday and not more than a dozen men. That is a pretty even balance.” There was no asperity in the answer and she continued sweetly, “You know that no matter how large a committee is appointed the working force usually resolves it- self into a small number. It may prove so with the ladies, but I know their sentiment is that the little people shall have all hap- piness on the ‘glorious fourth.’ ” The number of invitations issued to ladies to join in preparations for the cele- bration had reached 100 yesterday after- noon. Some declined owing to other en- gagements; some didn't ‘“want to have anything to do with one of those old polit- ical parades,”’ not realizing that thisis to be a patriotic, not a ‘‘political” celebration, and nine responded in person by attend. ing the meeting of the entertainment com- mittee. These ladies were Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, Miss Hattie C. Cooper, Mrs. May L. Harrison, Mrs. John Knell, Mrs. L. P. Fraser, Mme. L. A. Sorbier, Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Clara Josephi and Mrs. Mary Lynde Craig. Invitations bave recently been sent to Mrs. Clara 8. Foltz. Mrs. Nellie Blessing Eyster, Mrs. Frank M. Pixley and Mrs. Lovell White of this City, Mrs. O'Neil, Mrs. Dennis, Mrs. Frank R. Clark, Mrs. Clement and Mrs. Bullock of Alameda. It is expected that there will be a large attendance of ladies at the meeting of the finance committee to-morrow at 2 p. M. MOTHER DUMMY HORROR The Market - Streset Railway Company Tries a New Sam- ple of Fender. The Leathern Boy and Man Experl- mented Upon Horribly Man- gled—It Won’t Do. There was another horrible mangling of leather dummies yesterday morning by the Market-street Railway Company by way of demonstrating the non-utility of another new fender. The test took place on West Mission street shortly before noon. There were present Business Man- ager Vining, Division Superintendent Stein and Supervisors King, Wagner, Scully and Morgenstern. Two dummies were provided—one a man’s size and the other that of a boy. The boy was mangled first. The fender consisted of four strongstrips of wood arranged horizontally at a dis- tance of four inches from each other and clamped together with steel bars. The bottom strip was covered in front by a piece of rubber hose, and was fixed at about six inches above the track. Back of this wooden projection was a wire netting, and connecting with the others by small steel bars. The intention of the inventor was that when the wooden projection came in contact with an ob- stacle it rises and allows it to pass under, while at the same time the wire netting is lowered automatically to the rails and re- ceives and holds the object. But it did not do it. The first trial was made upon the bov dummy, weighin about 100 pounds. The dummy was sto in the tracks, and from a distance of about fifty yards the car bore down u&:on it at a speed of ten miles an hour. The dummy was knocked some distance in front of the car, fell in the middle of the track and then disappeared under the car. ‘When the latter came to a standstill, and Mr. Vining and the Supervisors bent over in search of the figure in the wire netting, it was found to have been badly cut up, and only a fragment was in the basket and the balance was mixed up with the gearing. Then the 175-pound man was placed in a reclining position across the track and the destroyer turned loose upon it. After the car had run it down and stopped, it was found that he was partially held by the wire-basket, and was not badly hurt. ~ The experiment was then tried with the man in a standing position, and the horror that he presented when the car had met him and then backed away wassomething to make one glad that he was made of leather. This fender, also, will not do. WHEAT HARVESTED EABLY. The First Carload Received at Port Costa Yesterday. The first carload of wheat to be shipped this season from the interior to the Port Costa warehouses was delivered yesterday by the Southern Pacific Company. It came from Lerdo station, near Bakersfield, and was grown in Kern County. A dispatch from ‘Chicago yesterday stated that the Transcontinental Passenger Association had abandoned its effort to establish a strong association having for its object the maintenance of rates and regulation of transcontinental passenger traffic. Mr. Donaldson, who is acting as general ssenger agent of the Southern Pacific 'ompany, stated that the association had adjourned to meet next Wednesday, but there has been no abandonment of "effort in the direction of forming a gigantic com- bine on rates of passenger tickets. —————— A New Department.

To-morrow morning the Blythe case will come before the Supreme Court once more on a motion to dismiss all appeals. The motion is made by Florence Blythe Hinck- ley, through her attorneys, and should it prove successful four of the claimants will be swept aside and their interest summa- rily terminated. The motion as made, and a8 it will be tried to-morrow, includes the appeals of William Savage, who will ap- pear in propria persona, the ‘Gypsy Blythes,” represented by the Holiadays, the “Blythe Company,” represented by Towle, and James Whit Pierce, repre- sented by P. L. Benjamin. The only other claimant still outstanding is Sarah Davis, represented by Timothy Lyons, and her case is not yet ready to be tried. The motion to dismiss, which will finally come to trial, would seem to indicate that the negotiations which have been in proé- ress for some time, and which would lead, if successful, to a complete compromise of the case, had fallen through; but it is said by those in whose hands the compromise has been intrusted that even now the es- tate would be willing to settle provided every one of those who could in any way | harass Mrs. Hinckley’s inheritance would come in the settlement. The settlement or compromise which the estate was willing to agree to was to be made on a basis of $50,000. The Savages, the “Gipsy Blythes,” the Blythe Company, James Pierce and Sarah Davis were to have that amount divided among them, pro- vided they would withdraw from the case altogether. For some months past Henry Toomy. a real estate broker, has had the case in hand, but he found a stumbling- block in Lyons and his client, Sarah Davis. The others were willing to consider the matter, but Lyons refused any offer, and so the compromise on the basis of $50,000 | fell through. | There was an attempt to compromise on the basis of $250,000 some time ago, but in that case the Holladays and their clients, the Gypsy Blythes, blocked the way. In that arrangement the Savages, both of London and San Francisco, and James Pierce, agreed to accept $100,000 together, the Blythe company was to receive $75,000 and the Gypsy Blythes were to receive $25,- 000. The Gypsy filythes would not com- promise for the whole amount of $250,000, for this was before the final decision of the case and they were sure of winning. The entering of the judgment against all these claimants and " the affirming of the judg- ment by the Supreme Court led to a peti- tion for a decree of distribution. From an order anling this decree of distribution, the claimants all appealed, and now the motion to dismiss the appeals will come up. Asevidence Mrs. Hinckley will sub- mit the judgment of the lower court and its affirmation by the Supreme Court. ‘What defense will be made is not generally known, but it is understood that none of the litigants are particularly anxious to have the case reopened in the Suvreme Court. In the care of Sarah Davis the suit is in a unique position. Against all other claimants the affirmed judgment of Judge Coffey has been entered as final, and in any litigation they may bring this judgment has but to be submitted againet them and they must of necessity be beaten. but in the case of Sarah Davis this judgment was never entered nor made finni‘, and the contention of her attorney is that a judg- ment never entered as against his client cannot be urged in evidence against her, in other words, that as against Sarah Davis the estate must reopen the case. Her appeal from the order of distribution is now before the Supreme Court upon that very point mainly, and it will come up some time later. The idea of getting all the claimants be- fore the court at the same time is a shrewd move by W. H. H. Hart, Mrs. Hinckley’s attorney. It was done ostensibly to dis- pose of all the casesat once, a praiseworthy plan to expedite the legal business of the court, bat when the four branches of the litigation, each with its numerous follow- ing and each fighting the other as well as all fighting the established estate, are considered, the effect of it all upon the court caunot but redound to the profit and interest of Florence and her case. SCHOOL OF MEOHANICAL ARTS, Initial Class Reception—Music by the Lick Glee Club. The initial class of the California School of Mechanical Arts gave a very enjoyable reception and social gathering last Tues- day evening. The invitations and pro- grammes were unique and artistic, having been made by Mr. Goodell, one of the teachers, and some of the boys who have a taste and gift for designing. A large audi- ence assembled in the free hand drawin room, where the programme was rendere with great success, Two poems, one for the boys and one for the girls, had been written by one of the students. They were written to resemble Oliver Wyendell Holmes’ poem ‘‘Our Boys,” but the jokes of the school were inserted and caused much merriment. The Lick Glee Club, a young but promising organization, cer- tainly deserves great praise for its credit- able playing. The club is composed of mandolins, guitars, banjos and a triangle. The school colors, red and gold, were used for decorations, and the balcony pre- sented a festive appearance with its man Chinese lanterns. Principal Merrill an. the teachers showed the guests the parts of the building that were open. Dancing and refreshments ended the happy evemn?, which will long be remem- bered by the class of 98 and their guests as the first reception in the history of the school. e Music at the Park.
