THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, JULY 7, 1895. 5 Over Fifty Buildings Are Now in Course of Con- struction. THE RACETRACK PROBLEM. The Residents Are Badly Divided on This Most Interesting Sub- Ject. The residents of the Richmond district are nothing if not enterprising. At present there are probably fifty dwelling-houses | course of erection. The jor portion consists of handsome, two- frame buildings, costing from $2500 to §10,000 each. On the northeast corner of Point Lobos avenue and Second avenue W. L. Hines is erecting a handsome, mod- ern two-story dwelling that will cost in the neighborhood of $10,000 when com- plete. Three blocks away, on California street and Second avenue, Steuart Menzies is building six two-story frame buildings, which when completed will add materially to the attractiveness of that portion of Richmond. The six houses are built very close to each other, in such a manner that the rear of all can be merged into one or continued separate should the several oc- s so_desire. Architect J. C. Pelton the plans. he residents of the Richmond district e heretofore been a unit on all _matters cting_the public weal. The Bay Dis- rict track, however, seems to be the rock on which their former good feeling is destined to receive a shock.

AN UNLUCKY JOURNALIST. John E. Owens, a New Arrival in This City From Round the World, Takes Poison. John E. Owens, who said he was a news- | paper man, engaged a room in the Cos- mopolitan Hotel, Fifth and Mission streets, yesterday morning. Late in the afternoon | | he was seen in his room and he had every | symptom of having swallowed morphine. Medical attendance was promptly sum- moned, but when the doctors attempted to | administer an emetic he resisted and force had to be used. It was thought advisable to send him to the Receiving Hospital in the ambulance and when he reached there he again struggled desperately to prevent Dr. Bushnell making use of the necessary | remedies. After he had sufficientl) | able to_talk he said he did not take the morphine with suicidal intent. He was | feverish and had pains all over his body | and he bought 15 cents’ worth of morphine | tablets to see if he could get relief. | Owens said he had made a tour of the | world. He left New York in July, 1894, | and went to South Africa, thence to Cal-| cutta, Singapore, Hongkong, Yokohama | and this City. There a memorandum | book in his pocket showing the dates of | | his arrival at and departure from the dif- | ferent places on his trip, with the excep- | tion of his departure from Yokohama and arrival in this City. £ On his arrival here Owens wrote articles | no South Africa, which were published in | the papers. He wunted to get emgloy- | ment in San Francisco, but so far had not | been successful. | —_— O6F T0WLES CARYON recovered to be Company A, League of the Cross, Is Now Enjoying Camp Life. | Quarters to Be Visited by Distin- | guished People During the Week. To the inspiring note of drum and fife Company A of the League of the Cross marched down Market street yesterday morning, and at 10 o’clock boarded the train for Niles Canyon, where they will go into camp for a week. The youthful soldiers marched with the steady step of veterans tried, combined with the proud mien of a troop just enter- ing upon its first campaign. This will be their first experience in camp life, but that they understand what it means was easily seen in the amount of camp paraphernalia sent on ahead. Company A is one of the crack com- ganics of the league, and hence it is not to e wondered at thai hundreds of admiring friends greeted them with cheers as they marched jauntily, yet in excellent form, down Market street. A large crowd was also at the depot to see them off. This organization boasts of seventy-five mem- bers, sixty-five making the trip to Niles Canyon, Under the command of Captain | Frank Drady:. Camp life with Company A began with the rise of this morning’s sun. The rules governing the elder State organizations will be strictly enforcsd at Camp Niles, in- cluding guard mount, dress parade, in- spection, etc. Military mass will be ob- served during the week under the special direction of Father Burns, who accom- | panied the boys.

Rare Endowments of a San Frameisco Woman, Who Is a Public Benefactress. For fifteen years there has dwelt in our midst a strangely gifted soul, Dr. Nellie Beighle, whose daily labors have been a constant benefaction to that great mass of humanity who suffer the ills which “flesh is heir to.” The “Little Doctor,” as she is affectionately called by those who know her best and love her most, is endowed with an imperial power supplied from some invisible fountain of life strength before which pain and disease bend and yield as the leaf bendsand sways before the rushing storm. This power, so subtle, so penetrating, cannot be described, only its marvelous results noted. It transcends the spheres bounded by the physical horizon. It pierces the cause and masters the ultimates, the controlling forces of mortal existence. The beautiful right arm from midway between shoulder DR. NELLIE CRAIB-BEIGHLE. {and elbow is the inexhaustible storage | which is charged with this life-giving | force, called by some Vril. She uses no medicines whatever, yet her cures are | truly wonderful, in many cases nothing short of a miracle. Her diagnoses are | without questioning. In this particular she stands pre-eminent. No matter how complicated or long-standing the case | may be she is always accurate as to the | real cause of disease. It is then she seems endowed with some divine illumin- | ation—something superior to known laws | of physics—which makes clear to her un- | derstanding all the complications of the | many-sided structure which is the earthly | tenement of the human soul. If she prom- | ises a complete restoration to health you may rely implicitly upon it. She has never been known to promise a cure that was not fulfilled if the patient fol- | lowed the instructions. Many of the most | distinguished men and women of the day owe their lives to_the magic touch of that | electric hand, and thousands rise up and call her blessed. Personally the Doctor has a peculiarly fascinating charm of manner and a warm, sympathetic nature. She is bright, witty and a brilliant conversationalist—one of those rare human flowers most ‘‘fearfully and wonderfully made,’ whose fairy, luminous soul is often burdened with hard toil and keen anguish in the service of those who suffer. r face is radiant with the grace of immortal youth as she goes from one patient to another, impart- ing to each an influx new which makes new life, and giving words of cheer which inspire hope, enkindle courage in the heart of the sufferer. The Doctdr has recently fitted up mag- nificent offices in the Spreckels building, 927 Market street, where she can be con- her residence, Hotel Pleasanton. She never seems to tire in her loved work of alleviating human suffering. To all who are afflicted from whatever cause, to those turned on the downward slope and would stay the progress of the somber tide which breaks on the silent shore, we would coun- sel you to call on the “‘Little Doctor’” and learn for yourself the potency of that little hand. THE AMERICAN FLAG DAY Another Patriotic Holiday to Be Celebrated by School Children. An Assoclation to Be Incorporated to Arrange for the Proper Observances. A movement is on foot to provide for the school-children of San Francisco another patriotic holiday which they shall cele. brate each year with appropriate musical and literary exercises at the park. The holiday is to be known as American Flag day, and its celebration is to com- memorate the adoption of the stars and stripes as the National ensign of the United States. In June, 1777, a committee was appoint- ed by the Continental Congress, then in session in Philadelphia, to select a suitable design for a flag. The committee was com- osed of Hon. Robert Morris and Hon. eorge Ross. General Washington was called into the consultation and the result of the delibera- tions was the adoption of the starsand stripes from a design submitted by Betsey Ross. Congress confirmed the selection on June 14,1777, and that date has been :plectcd as the proper one for the celebra- ion. In the Eastern States American Flag day has for several years been recognized as a eneral holiday. Its selection as such was ue to the efforts of Le Roy van Horn, senior past State councilor of Ohio for the Junior Order of United American Me- chanics, who is the musical director of the Chicago celebration. To provide for the proper célebration of the dafv in nearly every leading city Amer- ican Flag day associations have been in- corporated, of which the objects are *‘to disseminate the principles of patriotism, to inculcate lessons of loyalty and to teach love and veneration for the stars and stripes as the emblem of freedom, personal liberty and National union.” In the city of Chicago in order to obviate interference in the routine work of the closing days of the school year, the Na- tional Flag Day Association "has designa- ted for the celebration the third Saturday in each June as being approximately the anniversary. In its announcement last month the association set apart the day as a general holiday, but more es) ciulf’y a day for the children and youth of our public schools, for holding potriotic exercises at our City public parks, buildings, etc., ‘‘in commemoration of &e day upon which the flag of our country was originally adopted by the Continental Congress, June 14, 1777."" 1In five different public parks of the City exercises were held and it was estimated that at least 50,000 children participated. It is now Bropoaed to organize an Amer- ican Flag Day Association in San Fran- and’| sulted during office hours from 9 to 5, or at | State councilor of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, who has just re- turned from the East. Colonel Edward Hunter, judge advo- cate-general of the Department of Califor- nia of the United States Army, has agreed to be among the incorporators, and others, including some ladies, will be invited to co-operate. Considerable emphasis is laid on the statement that the movement is a purely patriotic one, and has absolutely nothing to do with politics. ———— STREETCAR AMBULANCE. An Original Idea of President Weill of the French Hospital. Now that the French Hospital has moved to its new quarters at Richmond, Sylvain Weill, president of the French Be- nevolent Society, has conceived the idea of a cable-car ambulance to run on the Geary- street and Sacramento-streets lines. He says his idea, which is certainly an original one, will be discussed at the next meeting of the society. He explains how it would work as follows: 'he hospital is m advantageously uated for the accomplishment of the de- sired result. The Geary-street cars run out Point Lobos_avenue and stop at_the entrance around the corner of Fiith avenue, and the Sacramento-street cars reach the entrance on Sixth avenue, where the surgical ward is located. “We could have a car constructed upon the latest principles that would give every possible degree of comfort to a patient, and, of course, a com petent attendant with proper appliances would be in charge. We would locate the car in the courtyard and have switches connecting with both the Geary and Sacramento street lines, so we could respond _to almost any call within a brief period. If it were a patient from the ferries we would use the Sacramento-street road, and so we would govern ourselves according to the district. In out-of-the- way places we would have to use our usual ambulance.”’ THE EMERWILLE TRACK, Great Improvements to Be Made by the California Jockey Club. A New Double-Deck Grand Stand. Meets to Be Held There Twice a Year. The old Emeryville racing grounds are to be rehabilitated at a cost, it is said, of $75,000. Everything is to be remodeled throughout and a fine double-decked grand stand erected. The California Jockey Club is the mover in the new enterprise. Its president, Mr. Williams, told all about it yesterday, pre- ferring not to have his good works hidden under a bushel. “The Emeryville track has been an eye- sore to turf connoisseurs for years,” said Mr. Williams. “The fence around it is | battered and shaky, the grand stand is a misnomer and almost everything on the grounds bear the marks of age and use. A year ago the California Jockey Club secured a lease of the grounds for “seven years with an option of a nine years' ex- | tension, so that it can look to sixteen years of possession. ““We had in mind for some time the ex- tensive improvement of the track, and re- cently orders were given to the architect to prepara plans for a modern, first-class grand stand that will cost upward of $20,- 000. The é)lnns will be completed in a few weeks. and the work of construction will thereafter be promptly commenced. “Its length will be about 300 feet and the depth 90 feet. The ground will be floored with asphalt. From the rear there will be the main entrances to the grand stand proper, and a promenade thirty-six feet wide will extend the entire regr length of the building. “The height of the stand will be about fifty feet, and the seating capacity not less than 3500."" There will probably be some alterations made on the track, for the club is not satisfied with its present condition. The back stretch will gc widened twenty-five feet, and the turns even more. Many of the stables are old buildings not fit tshouse good horseflesh, and the inten- tion is to build new ones. In every in- stance the new buildings will be superior in design and materials to the old, and money will not be spared to make them as comfortable as possible. South of the track a building will be erected to serve for the secretary’s office and for the club headquarters. New scalesrooms and dressing-rooms will be built, and, in fact, the entire architecture on the grounds will be removed, and the old buildings gradually torn down. “My idea in spending so much money on the Kmeryville track,” said Mr. Williams, “js this: The track in this City has not been patronized very much by Oaklanders and persons living further in the interior of the country. 3 *“This patronage can be induced to come to the Emeryville grounds, which, of course, will be also well attended by the local followers at the turf, “It must be distinctly understood the tracks on each side of the bay will not be run in opposition to each other. They will both be controlled by the California Jockey Club. “We will have meets on the Oakland track twice a year—one in August and the other in November. Perhaps we will have a running meet for three weeks in the sum- mer. “The first meet will be held in Novem- ber next, when we expect the grand stand and other improvements will have been finished. “The features at the dedicatory meet will be two, three and four mile dashes—a sort of innovation on the coast turf that we expect will be very popular.” ————— Novels Are Growing Shorter. It would be interesting to know how far the new plan of issuing novels at first in single volumes has answered. If we take certain well-bruited and exceptional books, the sales of which have been as periodically and punctually notified as the railway traf- fic returns, it has answered very well in- deed. But if we make independent in- quiry of the readers and critics, we shall probably find not merely a current of zrumbhn% (there is always that at any change), but a rather substantial agree- ment on one point, and this is that the one-volume novel, issued as such, must not be quite as long as the longest of the old three-deckers. Critics complain_that it is too fatiguing, and readers that it is too solid. . That there is some sense in this may be seen from the fact, not often noticed, that all novels have gradually lessened,the num- ber of the volumes novelists have always been obliged to make them shorter in real- ity, and not to avail themselves of typo- raphical and other artifices to keep up the ulk of matter, while reducing the num- ber of volumes. Mlle. de Scudery and her long-winded fellows indulged in their ten, their twelve, in at least one instance their twenty-four volumes; from Richardson to Holcroft seven was a favorite number; Mme. d’Arbly bad a weakness for tive; for, asis well known, it was not unknown in either Scott’s time or a little later. Then three had an unexampled tenure of popularity; but two was always an exception (though a pretty frequent exception), and it does mot seem likely that it will have any independent reisn. And, really, novelists must not cut down the volumes and keep LW the words at the same time.—London World. Between 1860 and 1870 the abolition of slavery destroyed a nominal wealthof a quarter of a billion of dollars; during the same period the Northern States gained enormoasly in wealth by the uubuaiment of many new industries, George Rose’s Mulberry Equals the Coast Record of 1:40 for a Mile. ha NELLIE G IS A BIG SURPRISE. Del Norte, Second Cholce In the Mile and a Quarter Handi- cap, Won Handily. Nellie G clipped half a second oft the inside track record for seven furlongs. Handicapper Jimmy Geogan was one of the few that figured Little Tough a chance And now everybody is wondering where In- stallator would have finished in the owners’ handicap. =Could “Buck” Burns have heard some of the Ccomments on his May Day ride he undoubtedly would have set himself down for & week. Little Reidy, who rode Nellie G, came to Cali- fornia with the recently arrived Westchester stable and can ride at 70 pounds. It was the promising youngster's first win. Joe Rose, the bookmaker, was about the only swell winner at the track over the victory of Nellie G. He held her out in his book, and backing her around the ring cleaned up about $1600. Asis usually the case outside watches dif- ferea with the official timers, & majority of the trainers catching Mulberry’s time as 1:393;. The officials are most advantageously situated, however, and their timing was probably cor- rect. Could Royal Flush have kept hisnose in front his name could then have been placed along- side that of his illustrious sister, Acclaim, who set the mark. Be that as it may, the splendid Tun of the game little chestnut is not dimmed one whit, and were it not for his infirmities he would be the star performer of California. When the fact is taken into consideration that his kneesare not the best and one ankle is very much on the “dickey” order, he isa re- markable performer. ‘“What's the matter with all the horses?” people were asking at the track yesterday, and their query was not to be wondered at. The steeplechase had to be declared off owing to a lack of the necessary ma- terial, and the paucity of entries in the five events carded was remarkable, a total of but twenty-two starters being listed. In consequence, only a fair crowd ,was in at- tendance; but they were recofupensed by the "fine performance witnessed in the owners’ handicap over a distance of one mile, in which the coast record of 1:40 was equaled. The event was deprived of considerable interest by the non-appearance of Installa- tor, leaving but three to face the issue: Mulberry 92 pounds, Thelma 83 pounds, and Royal Flush 84 pounds. When the odds on the race were posted, which was the last event of the day, the brown fill; Thelma held sway with 3 to 5 chalke against her, Mulberry with twos about him, and the sturdy little chestnut son of Three Cheers, the despised one, at 4 to 1. As the betting progressed Thelma receded to 15 to 20, the odds against Mulberry com- ing down to 8 to 5, but later going back again to twos and 11 to 5, at which figures a barrel of coin wentin on him. Trainer Hawson thought well of Royal Flush with his feather-weight, and not a few took the tip. There was but little delay at the post, the flag dispatching them heads apart. Thelma at once went to the front, but could open up no gap, for Royal Flush hung at her throat-latch, with "Mulberry trailing three Jengths behind. Approach- ing the half Royal Flush had passed the mare, who already showed signs of weaken- ing. As the seven-eighths was reached the various timers showed the pace was a “scorcher,” for it was accom fipned in a shade better than 1:26. Full o¥run. Royal Flush turned into the stretch fully two lengths in front of Mulberry, the brown mare holding on gamely with her head at his flanks. As the two leaders neared the wire the chestnut’s chances looked most promising, but, creeping up foot by foot, Bookmaker Rose’s horse gradually wore him down and poked his head in front as they passed the winning post, splendidly ridden by Chevalier. Thelma was beaten off, finishing six or eight lengths away. The winner was lou%ly cheered when the time, 1:40, was hung out. The favorites were treated rather roughly, but two of them getting the coin. The bj; upset of the day occurred in the secon race, when Nellie G led all the way and won at odds of 30 to 1. The day opened well for the talent, the 7to 5 favorite, Silver State, capturing the first event, a six-furlong dash, very handily from the 50 to 1 shot, Little Tough, with Ames up, who beat the flag and tried to make a runaway race of it. Arno, who should show up much better than he has of late, was an indifferent third. The 8 to 5 second choice, Greenback Jr., did not run well at the I)rice. The seven-furlong run over the hills was what put the sporting fraternity over a barrel. All of the mathematicians, and they are numerous, figured the race to lie between May Day and Carmel, and they closed in the betting 9 to 5 each. Craw- ford also figiured dangerous, so he was 11 to 5. Well, Nellie G, the gray mare, with30to1 against her, who didn’t “figger,” took the lead and, ridden like a veteran by a little fellow named Reidy, showed her heels to the company all the way, winning by a length from Carmel. The badly ridden May Day was third. With but four starters in the six-furlong handicap for the young fry, Joe N was a decided 8 to 5 choice. Monitor had second call, backed from 3 to 2to 1. The Ledette tilly and Rey del Bandidos each went to the post 9 to 2. Monitor, with the speed of the lot, headed them into the stretch with a com- fortable lead. when he suddenly grew weary and gave way to Ledette filly and Rey del Bandidos. These two were shortly joined by the favorite, and in a decidedly interesting drive Joe K turned up winner, by a short half length, Rey del Bandidos beating the Boots entry a head for place. Ames, on the place horse, grew altogether too affectionate the last hundred yards and for his squeezing tactics, which were un- doubtedly purely unintentional, was placed last, which moved the Ledette filly up a peg and gave Monitor third place. The mile and a quarter handicap was another four-horse affair. This time the talent went wrong, for they made Flirtilla, who seems doomed to second place honors, a 3 to 2 favorite. The brown horse Del Norte had a strong !ollowinngbo ot 11 to 5 against their choice. Malo Diablo came next in demand at 16 to 5, with Com- mission, the outsider. at 7 to 1. Flirtilla set out in front when the flag fell, leading Commission a neck as they passed the stand. " At the first turn Che- valier took her back and Lioyd took the lead with Commission, followed by Malo Diablo. This order was not reversed until rounding the far turn, where Piggott moved up with Del Norte, entering the stretch but three Faru of a length behind the White and Clarke entry. “A furlon, from the wire Piggott took the lead witfi Del Norte and passed the stand a clever winner by a length. Flirtilla was ridden out hard to beat Commission for the place. MULLHOLLAND. BUMMARY. 8Ax FRrANcCisco, July 6, 1895, 1138 FIRST RACE—Six furlongs: selling: « three-year-olds and upward ; purse $250.

The many friends of Dr. Mackenzie whose only opportu- nity of hearing him is on Sunday evening will be pleased to know that he will preach both morning and evening for some time, His sub- ject for Sunday evening is “Shipwrecks.” B o A Dangerous Practice in England. Tt appears that the thoughtless and dan- gerous practice of throwing empty bottles from passenger trains still continues. Ex- cursionists are the main offenders, and their_attention is drawn to the ufipeal of the London and Northwestern Railway Company. The company earnestly re- minds passengers that serious injuries from this cause have been inflicted upon the servants of the company working on the line. Within the past few days an empty bottle of considerable size and weight was thrown from an excursion train passing through Blissworth station. 'he bottle alighted on an engine standing upon an adjoining line, and striking the fire-box of the engine with great force splintered it into many fragments. The engine-driver and fireman narrowly escaped serious in- juries from the thoughtless act of the pas- senger who threw the bottle from the train. The railway company reminds passengers that empty bottles can be left in ‘the car- riages.—London Daily News. The general impression is abroad that Mayor Sutro’s selection of Samuel Foster as Election Commissioner will be indorsed by the Repub- lican State Central Committee, which will meet about the middle of the month. Mr. Foster is warmly indorsed by Supervisor A. B. Spmkals‘ President 8. W. Backus of the Union League Club and others. AUCTION SALES- AT AUCTION. BY G. H.
