They are lavish in their praises of young Madconald, who has been living with the family for the past three or four weeks, and declare that the daughter of ihe house could not be given into better keeping. Miss Loretta is very busy these days between the dressmaker's and the new cottage, which is being furnished after her own taste. The modiste is at work on the bridal costume—white satin, trimmed with orange blossoms and chiffon lace. The young people brought the veil home last evening and Mrs. Ryan was so much pleased with it that she kissed them both. THE SOUTHERN SUBURBS. Manholes to Be Put in at Once Along Railroad Avenue—Old Bay View Track. An improvement is now under way in South 8an Francisco which promises to transform Railroad avenue into a possible thoroughfare in the rainy season as well as the d: It is the completion of the drainage system. Heretofore there has been a great deal of inconvenience caused to travelers over this street in wet weather by reason of the water and mud. The rain caused torrents of water to carry large amounts of mud down on to tbe paved and macadamized roadway, frequently overflowing the gut- ters and rendering the crossings and side- walks well nigh impassable. A complete sewer main runs along Rail- road avenue and Kentucky street for their full length, but there have been no man- holes. Pipes for these are now being strung along Railroad avenue and are to be put in at once. % = e Market-street Railroad Company is radually preparing the way at the old y View racetrack for a pleasure ground of some kind. The old woolen-mill, which had been used for some time asa milk- house and stable, is being torn down, and all the other buildings and sheds are being effaced. Just what the company intends to do with the grounds has not yet been determined, savs Superintendent Vining, but there are between fifty and sixty acres there which it can put to account to attract travel on the Kentucky-street and Railroad- avenue line, Tiee company has also about fifty acres at the Five-mile House, but nothing is be- ing done with that at present. Between Eleventh and Twelith avenues N street is being graded. In the past there was a considerable pond there. A small blaze damaged the roof of Mrs. G. Scheerer’s two-story house, at 217 Mis- i pi street, about 2 p. M. yesterday. It was supposed to have been caused by a spark from a defective chimney. The loss was slight. PROMOTION FOR POMA. The Italian Vice-Consul Will Shortly . Leave for Valparaiso. It was stated in the “Italia’ last night, on what was said to be thoroughly reliable information, that Cesare Poma, the Italian Vice-Consul in San Francisco, is shortly to leave this City. Signor Poma has been strongly recom- mended to the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs for promotion, and he will go to Valparaiso, Chile, to manage the consul- ate there. The departing Vice-Consulis very popular, not only in the Italian_colony, but aiso in American society ecircles in this City, where his courtesy and good- fellowship made him a general favorite. He is a warm admirer of art and the drama, and his face is very familiar to San Francisco theater-goers. His present position has not given Signor Poma scope to put his official capabilities into play here, although the colony h always regarded him as a zealous and will- ing Iunctionary. After the departure of Consul Branchi Cesare Poma filled the duties of Italian Consul here for some months, to the complete satisfaction of every one concerned. ND MERCY FOR ROBBERS Judge Wallace Sends Thomas Hutchinson to Prison for Life. Two Other Convicts Get Twenty Years Each—One of Them Tries to Escape. “It is all because the police have it in for me,” said Charles Hennessey yesterday morning in Judge Wallace’s court when he was asked if he had anything to say why he should not be sent to the State prison for having, in company with Thomas Hutchinson, held up and robbed a sailor named Michael Mattison on Sec- ond street. “I was arrested and taken to the station, and was there an hour and a half before I knew what I was arrested for. I was con- victed through the lies told by the police.” “That is the same old story,” said Judge Wallace, “told by all who come here. I know that you have been convicted of a heinous crime. The sentence of the court is that you serve twenty years in Folsom Prison. ’ Then Hutchinson’s case was called. He had a prior conviction of petty larceny against him. A motion had been made for a new trial by Hutchinson’s attorney. It was charged thata juror named Robert Watson had answered on examination that he had never seen Hutchinson before, whereas he had been on the jury which formerly tried him for petty larceny. Judge Waullace did not think there was a ground for a new trial on the submitted facts and denied the motion. He then asked the prisoner if he wanted to say hing. He proved to be even more talkative than Hennessey and also scored the police, saying that they were prejudiced against him and_ intended to railroad him to the State Prison. He waxed eloquent in the assertion of his innocence of the rohbery charge. His attorney, Mr. Woodbury, also made a strong plea for clemency on behalf of the young man. ““There is grave doubt of his guilt in this case, and surely this is an opportunity for mercy to be shown,” he said. “The boy’s arents are respectable people, living in New Zealand. The father has just arrived here, and is so prostrated with grief thata severe sentence on his son will kill him. The mother is on her way. I appeal to your Honor that a sentence of life impris- onmen: would be a monstrous injustice here. It would be horrible, infamous. I pray your Honor to show some mercy. Judge Wallace said he regretted that the law gave him no choice in the matter of unishment. The lowest sentence was, in is opinion, imprisonment for life. “Robbery,” said the Judge, “‘isa crime that ought to be put down with an iron hand, and as the law fixed no maximum for the punishment to be inflicted, I have decided that for a first offense a sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment should be imposed. "But where there is a prior con- | viction T have no power to interfere. The law prescribes a rule and I must follow it.” And Hutchinson was sentenced for life. Five boys of tender age were arraigned on charges of burglary in having stolen things from a store at 1515 Hyde street, The lads were: Eddie McQuade, John McEwen, William Pierce, John O’Keefer and Simon Schneider, and were attended by their mothers, who were tearful in their appeals to have the boys released on their own recognizance. Judge Wallace would not accede to their requests though, and set next Thursday as a day for trial for the youngsters. In the case of Andrew Beck, convicted of robbery, a motion for a new trial was denied and Andrew was sentenced to serve twenty years in S8an Quentin. Michael Thomas, who had pleaded guilty of grand larceny, was sentenced to five vears' imprisonment. Thomas created quite a sensation later in the day on Broadway, in front of the County Jail. After the prisoners had been sentenced they were taken back to the jail in the Sheriff’s van to await their re- moval to the prisons to which they had been respectively sentenced. As Thomas was getting out of the van he suddenly slipped the handcuffs from his wrists and made a wild break down Broadway, toward Kearny street. The Deputy Sheriff in charge dashed after him, and was joined in the chase by Chief Jailer Sattler. Thomas was overhauled at last, two blocks away, and returned to the jail. Later in the day he and the others were removed to their future quarters. The grocer sends some other brand of baking powder simply because it costs him so much less, and he can make more profit by seliing it than the Royal. The Royalis made from the very finest and purest ma- terials and cosis much more than any other brand, which accounts for its superiority, although it is sold to consumers at the same price. e ——.—— The Child’s Definition. A short time ago a clergyman was giving the children a scripture lesson, in anticipa- tion of the annual visit of the Government !nflxecmr. e had been explaining “The Inspira- tion,” telling them that it was an unknown influence which put thoughts into one’s mind, and so enngled one to speak what were really the words of another. Unfortunately, his reverence was suffer- ing from a severe cold, and could scarcely be heard, so, for the convenience of the FATHER CARAHER RETURNS His Eventful Trip Through Historic Cities of the Old World. AUDIENCE WITH THE POPE. An Interesting Criticism and Re- view of the Irish Political Situation. Rev. Father Terence Caraher, rector of Mission San Jose for the past thirteen | years, has just returned to California after | an extended tour throughout the Old | World. In the course of his journey he | visited Ireland, his native land, England, | Scotland, Palestine, S: Egypt and many other places of interest on the other side. The reverend father left California last June and went to Chicago, where he was present at the ordination of his brother, who is now attached to a church in that city. He then traveled through to Canada, | visiting particularly the fine Parliament | THE REV. went to Bethlehem, where he celebrated mass on Christmas morning at 3:30, in the | Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After staying some little = time in Jerusalem Jericho was ted. Father Caraher en- | joyed the Eeculiar sensation of a swim in the Dead Sea, which is said to contain 25 Eer cent of salt, or to be a more buoyant ody of water than the great Salt Lake. After trips to Galilee, Mount Carmel and the Lake of Tiberias Beyrout was reached by steamer. Thence Father Caraher went to Damascus by stage. Branching off from that city, he visited such old cities as Antioch, Tarshish, Alexandrette (named after Alexander the Great),and stopped some time in Smyrna. The ancient city of Constantinople was next reached. The celebrated mosque of Saint Sophia was examined. Ship was then taken up the Bosphorus to the Black Sea. Here Father Caraher saw the Grand Sultan at the ceremony of Selam- lick. This ceremony takes place on Fri- days, when the Grand Sultan comes from the palace to worship in the mosque. It was described by the reverend father as a most imposing spectacle. Thousands take part in the ceremony, and lines of military are present to add aignity to the scene. A visif was then made to the_islands of the Girecian Archipelago, principally Pat- mos, Chios and Samos.” The return jour- | ney was made to Italy, thence to the man- | ufacturing town of Lyons, France, by way Father | Caraber also stayed at the old papal city of Avignon. Lourdes was visited, and a quick trip was then made through to Paris and back to London via Newhaven and Dieppe. After a short_sojourn in London Father Caraber crossed to Holyhead and thence to Dublin by amer. The political situation in that city admirably summed up by | of the great Mont Cenis tunnel. FATHER TERENCE OARAHER. [Reproduced from a photograph.] buildings in Ottawa and the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre. At the end of last July Father Caraher | arrived in Ireland. He spent ten days in visiting points of interest and then crossed over to Scotland. Here he visited the field of Bannockburn, made famous by the | Scotch poet, Burns, and Stirling Castle. | The view from this historic castle he con- siders to be the finest he saw in the old country. The beautiful scenery of the Highlands alsp came in for a share of the | reverend gentleman’s attention, as did also | the many natural wonders which abound in 8couland. Iona,the home of St. Colum- kille, was visited, and the beautiful cave of Staffa, which the reverend father thought to be one of the wonders of the world, was also taken in. After leaving Scotland the border was crossed to England. Cathedrals and churches naturally took up most of Father Caraher’s sightseeing time. York Minster was visited, as were many other cathedrals in England. Arriving "at Southampton the Southwestern Company’s boat was taken to Havre. A short seven hours’ journey brought Father Caraher to Havre. be picturesque churches of Normandy were visited, as was the grand cathedral | at Rouen, which is sketched by so many | artists in search of the beautiful. | La Madeleine and Notre Dame, the two | historic churches of is, were next vis- | ited. At the former Father Caraher wit- | nessed a grand high mass which was cele- brated in memory of Ferdinand de Lesseps. After making a tour of France, Switzer- | land was reached. The great St. Bernard was crossed and a visit paid to the hospice of St. Bernard. The ancient hospice was founded by St. Bernard of Menthon, and | the monks' there still possess some of the | breed of genuine St. Bernard dogs, which | have many times been reported to be ex- tinct. Turin was the first town visited in Italy. ‘While in that city Father Caraher called upon the Very Reverend Father Sasia, 8.J., Provincial of the Province of Turin and ex-Superior of the Jesuits of the Pacific Coast. Father Sasia made many inquiries aiter his friends by the Pacific, expressing his affection and remembrances of this City and California. At Rome Father Caraher was received | in audience by the Pope. The reverend father was greatly impressed with his ap- pearance, saying that while ~the Holy Father is feeble in body through age, yet his intellect is quite clear and his eye is yet undimmed. Of St. Peter's Father Caraher said that ‘“‘there is no church un- der the sun to be compared withyit in point of size and magnificence.” 3 After leaving Rome, a trip was made to the great Benedictine monastery of Monte Casino. It is interesting to note that this monastery at one time during the middle ages controlled the destinies of the re- ligious world. Many popes were given to the church from Monte Casino. Ship was taken at Brindisi for Alex- andria, and thence to Cairo. The latter city is largely peopled with English, French and Austrians. Father Caraher children, the schoolmaster repeated every word he said. Wishing to test if they understood, he asked: _“Now, can any one give me an illustra- tion of inspiration?” Little Boy—Yes, sir; please, master, sir. Parson—Well—ahem—not exactly—not sucha bad idea, though. But can’t you tell me some incident in the Bible thatour lesson reminds you of ?

A visit was made to the Khedive, whom Father Caraber describes as a young man of about 22 years of age. 1t is thought in Egypt that trouble is likely to make its appear- ance before very long, as the young Khe- dive rather resents the interference of the British Government and the occupation his territory by the British soldiery, of whom are located in Cairo. *1 have been disappointed in many | things,” said Father Caraher, “but I was certainly not disappointed with the Pyra- mids. They are truly some of the wonders of the worla.

I consider it one of the greatest curses that ever fell upon Ire- Jand since the quarrel between Dermott McMurrough and O'Rourke, Prince of Brefliny."” New York was reached by Father Cara- her after a short and enjoyable trip from Queenstown on the White Star steamer Teutonic. — The Royal Baking Powder was intro- duced to the public a third of a century ago, and from that time the era of good bread, biscuit, cake and pastry com- menced. ————— The Inventor of Gaslight. Philippa Lebon, born May 29, 1768, French chemist and engineer of roads and bridges, is said to have been the inventor of gaslight, having produced gas for illum- ating purposes derived from wood. He labored hard and long to perfect his in- vention, made his discovery known in 1799 and it was patented September 21 the same gear. About a vearafterward he published the result of his researches and experi- ments. Lebon began by distilling wood to obtain from it gas, oil, pitch and pyrolig- neous acid, but his work indicated tie ossibility of obtaining rom fatty substances. out of his patent to 1802 he made many experiments. His_first thermo lamps were established at Havre; but the zas which he obtained, being a mixture of oxide of carbon and carburetted hydrogen not perfectly purified, gave only & poor light and evolved a disagreeable odor, so that his discovery found little favor, and he was ruined by his experiments. He died December 2,1804. The ideas of Lebon were &oon}put into practice in England. b - Winsor, a German inventor, claimed the credit of having invented the process of lighting by gas about 1803, | which was introduced at the Lyceum | Theater. In 1805 many shops in Birming- ham were illuminated " with gas made by the process of Winsor and Murdock. Among those who used it was James Watt.—Spare Moments, as by distillation rom the taking —— Legas e Douglas Jerrold and Leigh Hunt. Douglas Jerrold’s soul seemed to abhor every trace of study slovenliness. A cozy room was his in his home at West Lodge, Lower Putney Common, and his son’s pen has given the world a welcome peep at the interior: “The furniture is simple solid oak. The desk has not a speck upon it. | The marble shell upon which the inkstand | rests has no litter in jt, Various notes lie in a row between clips on the table.

The Co-operative Commonwealth Asks Help on Credit and Sees a Great Future. That co-operative commonwealth which is struggling to be safely born is getting to be more interesting every day. 1t is likely to have a history that will give light to other socialistic movements and to stu- dents of sociology and human nature, whatever the length and glory of that his- tory may be. Lzura de Force Gordon, the president, Manager Sells and others who are now en- gaged in getting socialism fixed so that it will work have plans that are growing every day and which now embrace a scheme to provide at once and at any time self-supporting employment to any man or woman in all California that may be out of work, besides giving to the members of the commonwealth their full share of what they produce, instead of letting capital get the biggest share, as it does, they say, under the competitive system. The promoters of the Co-operative Com- monwealth are getting some prominent people interested in it and are confident of getting sufticient encouragement and sup- port to set the enterprise on its feet and enable it to then work out its own natural destiny. The prospects and plans of the commonwealth appear to be rather indefi- nite and embryonic yet, but the great cen- tral idea is that industries of various kinds, controlled and managed by the directors, shall be established, and in them each member shall share the burdens and ErolilsA Members who wish to will live in arracks at headquarters and be charged with the expense of their support. work is given them they will be credited with it, and when they work out in the world a part of what they earn will be kel]\t and credited to them. t is proposed to get vacant land that may be turned into vegetable gardens, es- tablish laundries, ete., and run an employ- ment burean.

Some unoccupied land within the city limit: being looked after quietly. This move is a result of the successiul experiment of Mayor Pingree of Detroit. The com- monwealth is still somewhat pinched and wan in appearance. The fifteen members who are bunking and eating in the little old red cottage on Nutoma street are find- ing provisions hard to get, and the land- lady is getting excited about the rent; but better times seem close at hand. Within the past day or two many people with socialistic theories and an interest in the cause of labor have expressed an interest in the movement and yesterday three of the directors were appointed a committee to solicit aid, not as charity but on credit, to be paid for in work. The directors are: don, president; J. K. Phillips, vice-pres ident; Emile 8. Lemme, treasurer; Al ander Gray, secretary; Addie P. Mrs. Rose Meacham, E, T. Hicks, Mrs. E. M. Simonds, Edward Webster and George W. Sells. The constitution and by-laws have not been adopted yet, and so it has not been decided just how the commonwealth will be_worked or what the duties, rights and privileges of the members will be. Ata meeting yesterday it was decided that sus- tenance for the dozen or fifteen men on Natoma street, who constitute the practical nucleus of the commonwealth, was the most imperative thing, and the following circular, with the names of the directors attached, was prepared : AN APPEAL TO THE GENEROUS PUBLIC. The Co-operative Commonwealth is an asso- ciation of men and women desirous of imme- diately relieving the sufferings of the unem- ploy and improving the dition of the industrial classes generally. Every member of our commonwealtn is desirous of earning an honest iiving by honestlabor faithfully per- forme: We do not ask charity. We want employment. Until it is possible to secure work for the many unemployed we ask the generous people of San Francisco to assist us in furnishing the necessaries of life to our unfortunate fellows, who are actually in want of bread. You are not asked to give, but we ask you to help to furnish provisions, clothing, furniture, bedding, dishes. vegetables, fraits or money, for which you will be duly credited on the books of the commonwealth to be paid for in labor at the usual rates when- ever an order for such services as may be re- quired is sent to the office, 215 Sansome street, room 10. We respectfully ask all hotel- keepers and restauraut proprietors to donate Wwhat surplus food they can spare. The officers of this association are well- known and responsible citizens and invite the fullest investigation of the means and objects sought to be accomplished. We have an army of unemployed—capable men and women—and can supply all kinds of help for the house, flhor or farm immediately, and earnestly ap- peal to you for assistance. The circular bears the following indorse- ment: The plan of the Co-operative Commonwealth has been examined by me and seems practical. Its officers are sincere and its members deserv- ing. 1 can therefore recommend the same to the people of our State. E. L. FITZGERALD, Labor Commissioner. Laurs de Force Gordon talked about the commonwealth yesterday in her home and office in the Fulton House on Larkin street. She talks fluently and takes an earnest_interest in the young socialistic enterprise that she took up when it struck the rocks. ‘This is the first time I ever had any- thing to do with a scheme like this,” she said. “Iam a socialist, and I don't care who knows that. Ihave thought for years that the social system was wrong, and that there is coming a revolution as great as that which swept feudalism away. I feel that the system is wrong which allows the ones who produce the wealth to remain in poverty while the wealth accumulates where it cannot be used. So I take an in- terest in the workingman, and I cannot see how intelligent people who have any heart can fail to take an interest in people who are kept in want, and perhaps wicked- ness, amid wealth which does nobody good. “When they came to me a week ago last Saturday I was told that they had nothin, toeat.

The men who do the work, in turn, will be credited with its value. “I have never studied the history of any of these socialistic colonies and can- not judge why they fail, but this will be different. This will be socialism applied. The people of these colonies always get off by themselves, and they combine social and business life. This will be a business enterprise entirely, and _will be operated right here, where we will honeycomb the competitive system, so to speak. We will probably run "a co-operative vbak_r_v and a laundry, and such things. We will have a big employment burean and will be able to supply labor of any kind.

The Shortest and Tallest Couples Ever Married in England. On May 28, 1884, the wedding of the shortest man and woman ever married in England wes celebrated in 8t. James Hall at Manchester. The bridegroom was Fran- cis Joseph Flynn, called “General Mite,” a native of Greene, in the State of New York, who was born on October 2, 1864, and was exhibited in Piccadilly, at London, from | November 22d, 1880. His height was 21 inches and his weight was only 9 pounds. The bride was Milly Edwards, who had been exhibited in London in July, 1882 She was 15 years old at the time of her marriage, and weighed only 7 pounds, s Spare Moments.
