THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1895. —_————— THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Boreas Easily Disposed of Wheel of Fortune in a Mile Dash. SERAPHIN WON IN A DRIVE Overlooked by the Talent, Addle M Took the Opening Dash at Odds of 30 to 1. Nebuchadnezzar stumbled almost to »his knees soon after the flag fell, which contribu- ted to his defeat. The Westchester stable started two more of their horses yesterday, Bob Tucker and Ver- non. The first named is possessed of consider- able speed, but neither succeeded in getting inside the money. Peter the Second carried topweight in the mile yesterdayand ran a surprisingly good race. The colt’s wind is affected, it is said, from a sickness, and were it not for this he would be a second Installator. Joe Harvey had a swell bet down on his filly Wheel of Fortune. A few daysback she spread- eagled her field a mile race, but when Boreas hung on yesterdayshe threw up the sponge. st mount since his re- Boreas and, judging by as good form as when her side of the Rockies. Tod Sloane rode turn from the East on his clever ride, Tod is he departed for the Notw nding the mild torrid wave, it was rather a “cold day” for favorites, Nellie G and Han e only successful ones. in George Rose, the well-known and popular owner and bookmaker, looking hale and hearty, returned from his Eestern trip just in time to see good colt Boreaswin. Mr. Rose says he had an enjoyable trip, but that it feels good to be in California once again. The way Wheel of ortune’s stable folk bet their money yesterday would cause an old turfite to think she had **Boreas beat to death,” but she didn’t. She hooked up with the son of Eolian and Peter the Sec- , the only other starter, at a mile and finished an inglorious third. There was no doubt but that her stable connections thought she could win, for they sent her to the post a 9 to 10 favorite. Boreas drifted around even money and 11 to 10 through- the betting, while Peter the Second, who *‘didn’t have a chance,” had 30to 1 chalked against him. T re was no delay at the post for the in a line. Away went and “The Wheel,” with Peter, to rprise of all, keeping within easy g distance. Nearing the bena for home Boreas began to cut loose, and it was evident something was wrong with some of the cogs in *“The Wheel,” for she could not respond and was passed by Peter. The race was cver. As Boreas passed the wire a short distance in front of the de- d outsider it actually caused a show of enthusiasm—a faint glimmer of sunlight on the cemeterial racing of late. The favorite was a poor third, the time, 1:411, being a shade too fast for her. Most of the betting done yesterday was against the watermelon-stand, the colored dispenser of the luscious fruit doing a land- office business. The crowd in the betting ring could not be called a sweltering one, for there was too much vacant space, and the bookies experienced no inconvenience in handling all the money bet. There was some egreat studving and figuring done over the first race, a five-fur- long dash, with thirteen starters. Imp. Greene, Model, De Groat and Monarch all figured well, but “figgers” went wrong. Addie M, an oyerlooked 30 to1 shot, came out of the bunch forty yards from the wire and won easily in 1:013{. De Groat downed Imp. Greene a nose for the place. The starter’s flag contributed to the fav- orite’s defeat in the second event. It was asix and a half furlong spin, for which Nebuchadnezzar went to the post a7to5 cho Getting away well Seraphin led all the way, and just managed to beat the favorite out a nose on the wire. Ricardo finished third. Nebuchadnezzar was away from the post badly, or he would have been returned a winner. The gray mare Nellie G under Reidy’s guicance, scored another win in a five and a half farlong gallop over the inside course, starting equal favorite with Gussie, who was backed down to twos from 10 to 1. Nellie G won by a length, Gussie getting the place from Tioga by a nose. A steeplechase over the extreme short course proved easy game for the 4 to 5 fav- orite Hanford, who was out in front all the way, and won easily from Mendocino. TUnder Maynard’s vigorous ridine Yange- <dene came in third. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. EAN FRANCISCO, August 1, 1895.

Names That Are Beginning to Be Spoken Of for Various Positions. THE FIGHT FOR LEADER. NO ISLAND PARK. Abandonment of the Acme and Reliance Club Plans of an Athletic Reservation. One of the most important athletic projects of this locality has probably fallen through by the failure of the Acme and Reliance clubs to effect the necessary com- bination. These two clubs haa proposed to establish at joint expense a big athletic park on Bay Farm Island. But the two organizations are unable to satisfactorily combine in the undertaking, and there is little likelihood now that the park will be established. Either ofthese clubs, however, alone or with _the co-operation of some other organization, may eventually complete the plan. The proposition, as considerea by the Reliance Club’s committee, was .to purchase or lease from Amos Mecartney a large tract of land that is now used for agricultural purposes, and which, by its location upon the bay' shore, would afford the very best opportunities for beth field and aquatic events. The land is level and in every way adapted for games of all sorts; the boating facilities would be excellent, and there is probably no better place about here for salt water bathing than that would be after the desired im- provements had been made. E. B. Jerome and P. H. Bernays of the Reliance Club looked the project over carefully and they were very much in favor of the proposed park, but in this matter the union of the rival clubs cannot well be brought about. There is a possibility that the Reliance Club may yet carry its negotiatigns to completion, and in that case a streef rail- road to connect with the island will be built and the Berkeley and Palo Alto Uni- versity athletic managers will be invited to have the annual football games and other intercollegiate events played there. The destruction of the Haight-street grounds has left the student teams with- out a satisfactory meeting place and the games would probably be held at Bay Farm Island if the contemplated park should be established. A FAITHLESS HUSBAND. C.T. Elliott Attempted to Elope With His Wife’s Servant. The Girl, Rosa Musgrave, Is De- tained at the Beulah Home. Rosa Musgrave is in detention at the Beuiah Home awaiting sentence from Judge Campbell. Rosa came to the notice of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children a year ago, when it was alleged that she was cruelly treated by her father. Mrs. Campbeil took her into the benevolent institution at Berkeley in which she was then inter- ested, and finally secured a place tor her as domestic in the home of Mr. and Mrs, C. T. Elliott of Vacaville. The head of the family, Mr. Eiliot, soon showed a predilection for the society of the girl, and his growing fondness for her led to trouble between himself and wife. The %irl left Vacaville in May and has since een working for Mr.and Mrs. Dodge of Alameda. Since that time the pair have corresponded, and the girl turned over the letters to Officer McMurray yesterday. General McComb stated that circumstances pointed to a meeting of the two at a hotel in this City a few weeks ago, when they occupied adjoining rooms. It is evident from some ot Elliott’s letters that an elope- ment was planned. Eiliott is a handsome young feilow, the son of a wealthy widow, who owns valu- able ranches in Sonoma County. His wife is acripple. Elliott is staying on one of his mother’s ranches at present. The following from Mrs. Elliott shows that she is not blind to her husband’s in- fidelity : 'VACAVILLE, CAL., July 3, 1895. Miss Rosa Musgrave : 1 suppos stood and that it would be unne Rary to teil you that Lottie, as well as mysel, has no use for anything coming irem you. But then it is only what might be expected of one who has proven hor(elig s0 brazen and utterly devoid of shame as you within the past few months have done. Of course, you will take the trouble of telling my husband of this when next you write him in'the endearing terms you are accustomed to use when addressing nim, but that will be en- tirely satisactory to me. Mes. C. T. ELLIOTT. Elliott gives his plans in this epistle: . SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Will soon start to Elmira. O, if I could only get a letter from you, but don’t mueh look for one. Idon’t think Mrs, E. has had time to write to you and maybe won’t. If we go to Denver we will be In one of the finest places in the world and the healthiest. They have snow there, but it isn’t very cold in winter or warm in summer and the Rocky Mountains are within fifteen miles of the city. We can get some ponies and guns and go hunt- ing for all kinds of wild game after we get settled there. I think that I can get a position (?e)re without much trouble. Then we are all right. ; It wom’t cost but about $25 apiece to there, then we will be where there won't any one to know us, all by our lonely. You can fet away aliright from those people. You can tell them that you are going to get married the day we leate. They won’t have time to tell any one and we will'skip. Good-by, bdarling. Lots of love and kisses from yours forever, C. TELEGRAPHIC CHESS. Three Games Will Be Contested by Local Players Against the Seattle Chess Club. Chess by telegraph is becoming popular on the Pacific Coast. Within the past few months San Francisco has encountered Victoria and Vancouver, B. C., and now another northern light, the Seattle Chess Club, has had the temerity to risk a match with the redoubtable S8an Franciscans. The match will commence to-night at 6:30 o'clock, when the initial movesin three games will be made. Seattle wili have the opening move on boards 1 and 3 o Yangedene 8 to 1, Mutineer 7 to 1, & s Last'12 (0 1, The Drummer 80 to 1, - Po nete’s Following are to-day’s entries: _First race, half a mile, maiden two-year- oids~Lady Leinster &lly 109, Florence C'109, and the home team on board 2. This con- cession was granted to the Seattle players by T. H. Martin, to whom the local play- ers are indebted for having made the prin- cipal arrangements to bring about the match. Dr. Walter Lovegrove, Rodney Kendrick and A. S. Howe have been chosen as the captains, each of them to have the assist- ance of two other players with whom they can consult as to the mode of operations which will serve best to defeat their an- tagonists in Seattle. 'he Seattle Chess Club will be repre- sented by Griffith Davies, C. B. Bagely and M. Dickey, each of whom will probably act as captain of & team at each board. Griffith Davies, late postmaster of Seattle, has gained considerable reputation as a gkillful chess-player, and would be likely to make a good fight for his side if he did not have Dr. Lovegrove to compete against. The Postal Telegraph Company has run a direct wire from the Mechanics” Institute, San Franciscog to the Seattle Chess Club, and thus tbe time occupied in the trans- mission of the moves will be reduced to a minimum. The from six to eight iamea are likely to hltlue ouss. Harrison and Crocker the Most Prominent Candlidates for President. Like grass after a spring rain, candidates have sprung up in the Olympic Club in answer to the announcement that next Monday evening the club would meet and select a nominating committee to take care of the campaign of the regular ticket dur- ing the coming election. Names are now detinitely spoken of in hall and gymna- siun, over the card tables and in the steam bath, where before all was speculation and rumor. So far the candidates for membership in the nominating committee of five are the principal object of interest. The various elements of the club must be represented, as has always been the custom, and so the fight is narrowed down 1n each annex to one man. The cardroom element, includ- ing the billiard-players and the more so- cial side of the club, want Tom Craig. The tank men, those who swim, those who bathe and those who sitaround on the railing and look on, are generally in favor of George McComb, who for the past year bas been assistant leader in the tank. He will represent the entire aquatic element. Fred Butz is the most prominent candi- date from the outside men who has so far appeared. Heis a well-known figure on the track, and is interested in all the out- door work. The tennis men are not agi- tating the question of a candidate for the committee this year, and so Butz, if se- lected, will represent them, too. Jack Teighton is the choice of the gymnasts | and inside men generally, but he may not run, as he has other aspirations, The bieycle men will put up Jack McGlynn, who has been a prominent figure among the members of that annex for a long time, The politicians who were in_the fight last year are again'in the field. Ed Kruse, who' engineered the opposition in 1894, has taken hold agair, and will make Har- rison’s ficht should he run. Tke Deutsch is also out with a combination of his own, | but a compromise between the two, in | which the cardroom men will get recog- nition, may be effected. W. G. Harrison and H. J. Crocker are so far about the only ones mentioned for the presidency. Oelrichs is not considered available. For vice-president Bucking- ham and Peck are spoken of. The treas- urer fight is likely to be a hot one if both Russ and Eaton run. There are many who believe Russ too old fashioned in his methods of running the office, but Russ has held the Ehce for a good many years, and he will be a hard man to beat if he stays in the fight. For secretary Pennell’s name is spoken of, but Jack Leighton seems to be making the better fight. Alec Forsythe, so long secretary under Harri- son, is mentioned also for the place, but he is strongest when spoken of as a di- rector. Leonard Gill is the only ode prominently mentioned so far for captain, but around the leadership the candidates cluster like bees. Charles Morrell, Scheuster, Dr, K. N. Short and Paul Bernard are all spoken of, and each has friends working in his interests. Morrell was drawn aown last year and Hammersmith was put on the ticket in his stead. This year it is ex- Fecmd that the inside men will generally avor him. The ticket for directors is a little mixea yet and several mentioned as officers are also spoken of as possible directors in case they fall short in original ambitions. Among these are Eaton, Short and For- sythe; in addition there are mentioned Frank O’Kane, Len Owens, Harlow H. White and Matt Weed. White is backed by the swimming element and the wheel- men, and the latter baving a voting strength of over 200 will be efficient sup- port. The social element will again sup- port Weed, it is said, and he confidentfy expects to be in the board again. THE SILVER CONVENTION, Secretary Keeney Says the Tdea Is Popularly Taken Up All Over the State. Secretary George P. Keeney, of the American Bimetallic League of San Fran- cisco, and chairman G. W. Baker of the local executive committee, have received correspondence from most of the counties regarding the State silver convention, to be held in this City on the 19th inst. Mr. Keeney said yesterday afternoon: Our letters show that the convention is a popular move, and the enthusiastic manner in which the country press has advocated the convention leads us to believe that it will be one of the largest and most notable gatherings ever seen in California. I am satisfied that finance is to be the issue of the coming campaign, for the pen?le are fast wlklnF up to the fact that tne ability on the part of the gold power to corner the circulating medium must receive some effective blow. The sentiment in favor of the free and unlim- | ited cofnage of silver is practically unanimous in this State. '0_show you to what extremities the mo- nopolists are pushed here is a gold page, called & “‘Sound Money Page,” issued by the Ameri- can Association twice a month, which it fur- nishes free to country papers, the cost being borne by the Reform Club of York. The same institution also gets outa ‘‘silver page” once in a while for which it charges the cus- tomary price. The “silver propagandists are doing good work under the circumstances, considering that we have all the capital and advantages of the gold power to strugele against. We have now headquarters in Washington, Chicago, shville, Tenn., and this City, which are al- ways open and fTom which emanate a volumi- nous amount of free-silver literature for edu- cational purposes. In the convention each county is to be represented by five delegates at large and five delgates for every 500 votes or fraction thereof cast at the last election. Excur- eion railroad rates have been secured for August 17, 18 and 19. ——— AUCTIONEER AND OLIENT, Lawrence Vincent Is Arrested for Fel- ony Embezzlement. Lawrence Vincent, an auctioneer, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. The com- plaining witness is F. C. Carlsen, living in the St. Ann’s building, 6 Eddy street. Carlsen nlleFes that he gave Vincent some household furnishings to sell in De- cember, 1892, They were sold for $1500. Of this amount there is still due $335 50, and although he has asked Vincent re- peatedly for it he has not yet received it. Vincent does not deny that he owes the money to Carlsen, but says that he has frequently offered it to him, and it has not been accepted for some reason or other. THE INFORMER'S REWARD. ‘Who Will Get the Money Will Be Set- tled Next Monday. The question as to who is to receive the informers reward in the Emerald smug- gling case is likely to be settled next Mon- day. There were 400 pounds of the drug and the net proceeds, after paying the duty, United States Marshal’s fee and other expenses, were $2314. Of this sum half goes to the informer, and Mrs. Louis Greenwald, wife of the smuggler of that name, claims it. Through her the Govern- ment was able to condemn the stuff and 11 it. Mrs, Isabella Lodge, alias “E. W. Mc- Lean,” the partner of Whaley and other notorious smugglers, sent the first in- formation as to the shippingof the drug, and it was through her that the Custom- house officers were enabled to make the seizure. She put in a claim for the re- ward and Mrs. Greenwald, through her attorney, protested. Special Agent of the Treasury Benton was sent to Victoria, B. C., to ascertain whether Mrs. Lodge was a genuine woman_or only McLean under another name. He unearthed the woman and she will appear in court next Monday to prosecute her claim. While she may have been working with the members of the Emerald gang the fact still remains that she was the first person to give in- formation that led to the seizure. MONEY FOR AN EXHIBIT. County Supervisors Asked to Hasten Payment of Their Contributions for Atlanta’s Fair Display. The work of preparing a creditable dis- play of California products for the At- lanta Exposition is not such an easy task as those interested thought it would have been. 8o far none of the money promised by the County Supervisors has been sent in from the counties, and, as there is but little time Jeft to make up and ship the exhibit, Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade has addressed a letter to the Supervisors of the State, urging them to act promptly in the matter. It was the gntention to get bids and award the contract for packing and ship- ping the exhibit at once; but the execu- tive committee decided that it was safer to secure the funds before becoming respon- sible for any bills. In order to enliven the County Super- visors in the matter of appropriating the money, the Half-million Club will set the machinery of this body in motion. Messrs. Crocker and Bunker will at once com- municate with the State development committee, which is composed of fifteen members in all parts of the State, and re- uest the committee to impress upon the gupervisor! the importance of prompt action. NEW POLICE ~ CAPTAINS, The Three Appointees As- sumed Their Official Duties Yesterday. Kindly Feelings Expressed Toward the Offlcers Who Retired From Service. In recognition of the official services of Captain John Short, one of the three re- lieved police captains, the following reso- lutions have been handsomely engrossed and presented to the aged officer: WHEREAS, We, the officers and members of Company B, Police Department of the City and County of San Francisco, being desirous of manifesting our appreciation of the valuable and upright services rendered by Captain John Short during the many years we have been un- der his command;and, whereas, this, the occa- sion of his honorable retirement from the po- sition which he has fitled with such marked ability and success is most opportune for our purpose. be it Resolved, That we bear cordial testimony to the able and painstaking manner in which Captain Short devoted himself to the import- ant responsibilities which devolved upon him during his long and honorable career in this department, The fearlessness and impartial- ity which distinguished all hisactions, and the firm, though at all times humane, methods by which he labored to secure discipline and esprit de corps among his subordinates have endeared him to all who had the good fortune 10 be under his command. Resolved, That we shall recall with admira- tion the meritorious record which Captain Short, as commander of Company B, has es- tablished; that his urbanity and couscientions | consideration toward those who co-operated with him are indelibly impressed upon our memory, and that for Lis future welfare and happiness we extend to him our most sincere consideration. Resolved, That an elaborately engrossed copy of these resclutions be presented to Captain Short as a mark of our most affectionate esteem. The resolutions are signed by Chief of Police Crowley and Otticers M. 0. Ander- son, Charles M. Janes, H. O. McPherson, M. Siuannahan and Thomas L. Tobin, com- | prising the committee. Captain Douglass made a farewell ad- dress at noon yesterday to the men of the secona division. He referred to his long | years of service as captain and said that 1 any of them deemed that he had been harsh with them he could only say it was for their own good. He gave them some excellent advice and urged upon them the necessity of never violating the rules of the department. He said that when the | Commissioners called for his resignation | he refused to comply with the request be- | cause he felt that he was mentally and physically competent to discharge his duties. The call for his resignation carried | with it at least an intimation that the | Commissioners regarded him as incom- | petent and to have complied with their re- quest would nave been an admission that they were right. Therefore he felt justi- fied in not tendering his resignation. Captain Stone was engaged the greater part of the day in explaining to his suc- cessor, Captain Robinson, the workings of the City Prison. He took his retirement | cheerfully. 2 The new captains—Wittman, Spillane and Robinson—took charge of their re- spective stations yesterday. The two former were cheered by their men, and were the recipients of many hearty con- gratulations. Lieutenant Gillen also took command of the second division. He bears his disappointment manfully. The new sergeants were assigned to their posts yesterday. Sergeant Moflitt will remain in charge of the office at police headquarters, and continue to increase the number of his iriends. Sergeant Davis was assigned to the Central police station, vice Gillen, promoted to the command of the second division. Sergeant Donovan, the youngest on the force, was assigned to the "North End station, vice Robinson, promoted to be captain. Sergfiant Perrin will take the place of Sergeant Reynolds at the Seventeenth - street station, and Reynolds will go to the Southern station, vice Spill:ne,é)mmoted to be captain. Patrolman C. H. Waterman was assigned to office duty at the North End station, vice Asher, resigned. The vacancy at the California-street station, caused by the resignation of Patrolman Harold, will not be filled. SUING FOR PROPERTY. ged Mrs. Olsen Files a New Complaint Against Her Young Husband. Mrs. Dorothea Olsen of Alameda filed a new complaint in the Superior Court yes- terday against her husband, Peter Olsen, The plaintiff is the woman of nearly 70 years who married a sailor 32 years old, and has had_constant trouble since. She was divorced from Peter lasi January, but she married him again in April, and at the latter time deeded the young man all her property. In the complaint filed yesterday the woman asked that the deeds of the land be declared fraudulent, and that Peter be gompelled to convey the property back to er, There is likely to be considerable litiga- tion, for when Peter secured the deeds to the property he promptly raised some money on mortgage, and the man wuo holds’ the mortgage will defend his claim. Mrs. Olsen and Peter are living unhap- vily in the same house on Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, both claiming the title to the property and refusing to surrender. Besides the Alameda property Mrs. Olsen or Peter owns real estate at the corner of Jackson and Front streets in this City. \A e ———— Mr. Stubbs Goes East. J. C.

At the Pesthouse—Steward, $45; 3 $40 places; nurse, $25; laundryman, #10. The new board is in more trouble. It is all about the Almshouse and the new su- perintendency thereof. Until a few days ago it was generally supposed that the record of Superintendent Weaver and the backing of Mayor Sutro would cause the Board of Health to retain him in charge of the City’s charitable institution. Mayor Sutro, it is said. has made only one request of Governor Budd and the new board, and that was not to disturb Weaver, whose ad- ministration he regarded as a credit to San Francisco. But a lusty Democrat from Mono wants the job. His name is Ed Reddy, and he is a brother of Pat Reddy, once a State Prison Director, now of the law firm of Reddy, Campbell & Metson, attorneys for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Ed Reddy is not a citizen of San Fran- cisco. He is not on the great register, and in a political sense this municipality has no knowledge of his existence. But the dense ignorance of the municipality is not shared by Mr. Reddy. He knows of it and also of the Almshouse, and he wants that. But the Civic Federation has pricked up its ears. As one of the members yester- day expressed himself on the subject after an informal caucus: ‘“Weaver has beena | good official and we don’t think that he should be removed simply to make room for a politician and a carpet-bagger at that. “We have nothing to say against Mr. Reddy, except that the sum’ total of him is described by the word politician. The Almshouse is supported by the taxpayers of San Francisco. Itis one of our most important institutions. The credit of the City is deeply involved in its maintenance. To turn a man out who has in every way shown himself capable of conducting its affairs properly and ministering to the wants of the unfortunates who have been obliged to seek the City’s public shelter in order to give a piece to a politician would be an outrage on decency and good govern- ment. Why, according to the reports which the Civic Federation has on govern- mental matters the Almshouse of San Francisco is rated third among charitable institutions of the kind in the United | States in its standard of excellence. Yes, | we are going to memorialize the Board of Health and present our petition at the next meeting on this subject. | “Our motto, and indeed the purpose of | our organization, is ‘better government, not worse,’ and we expect that a reform | Board of Health shall rise above instead of fall below its predecessors.” | The Governor has recommended Dan | O’Connell for the position of Superinten- tendent of the City Cemeteries. At a re- cent banquet Dan recited for the Gover- nor’s delectation Bret Harte’s ‘‘Heathen Chinee,’’ and the grave-diggers’ dialogue from “Hamlet.” His elocution was so re- alistic that it made the Governor think of a graveyard, and he then tendered the genial Bohemian the job. Already the Club is ““Dan O’Connell’s boneyard.”” Another candidate is a man named King from Alameda. This isthe season when the country politician comes to town. CALL A CHURCH COUNOIL. Friends of Meyer Strauss Are Consider- ing Such a Plan. While his fellow church members were passing judgment upon him at the First Congregational Church on Wednesday evening Meyer Strauss was enjoying him- self at a prayer-meeting at the Plymouth Church, where he received many kind words. Yesterday he was busy all day directing the scene painting for the play “By Order of the Czar,”” which will be pro- duced at the Grand Opera-house next week. He found numerous letters await- ing him on his return, in' which were words of commendation on his course, from friends and strangers who were interested in the proceedings through newspaper accounts. To some of the friends who called on him last evening he said: “l1 have the approval of my conscience as to the act for which I was censured, and which cost me my mem- bership in the First Church. If I were to be summoned before my Maker to-night I would not recall one word.” He remarked that he did not feel that he would be exactly welcome at the church of which he had been a member for so many years, but that he would attend ch‘m:hes of his own denomination hereafter. Mr. Strauss’ friends in the church are considering a plan to call for a reconsider- ation of the vote of expulsion or to submit the matter to a council of Congregational churches, which body, although it has only advisory power, has a strong influ- ence in such cases. Some of them do not hesitate to say that the proceedings were of 100 summary and secret a nature to be authorized by either the common law or the common sense of church government. “It is contrary to all precedent,” said one of the members of the standing com- mittee, ‘‘that the accusera should pass judi- cial judgment upon the accused, yet that is what the pastor and L. H. Morse did.” Strauss says he will take no action in the matter, but "leaves it in the hands of his friends. THE PARK MUSEUM. Purchase of a Valuable Collection of 0ld Coins. Mr. Wilcomb, custodian of the Park Museum, yesterday received a very valu- able collection of old coins, purchased re- cently by the Park Commissioners of 8. S. Chapman of Philadelphia, who, under the ressure of adverse circumstances, was orced to part with a collection to the formation of which he had given the best years of his life. There are 600 coins and medals all told, most of which belong to the colonial pe- riod of America. A few Hungarian, Ger- man and Spanishpcoins of very ancient date are ipcluded in the collection, also about half a dozen bronze medals of Eng- lish kings. There is a pine-tree shilling of 1700 and several Americandollarsand half- dollars of 1794 and 1795, also a $5 piece from the first mintage of this denomina- tion. AFTER HER DOWRY. Mrs. Jean Ducasse Wants 8750 That Her Parents Promised to Give at Her Marriage. Mrs. Marie Louise Ducasse, a young French woman, who was married recently, is suing her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Jean Weber, for her marriage dowry. She declares that she deposited $750 with her parents before she was married, the understanding being that the money should be given to her by the parents at the time of her marriage. Her marriage to Jean Ducasse was without the knowl- edge of her parents, though, as stated yes- terday on the witness-stand, and the parents have refused to give up the money. In their answer, the Webers charge that their vivacious young daughter obtained all the money belonging to her and with- out anybody’s consent. They charge that just before her marriage the young woman roke into her mother’s room and appro- priated $200 in cash and $500 worth of clothing, and they do not intend to pay any more. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. The Madrid Society to Celebrate Its Anniversary. The Madrid Mutual Benevolent Society is making preparations to celebrate the four hundred and third celebration of the anniversary of the discovery of America by a parade, literary exercises, followed by a grand Spanish carnival on the evening of October 12 at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. It is the intention to invite several organ- izations to assist in making the celebra- tion a success. The following committees have been ap- pointed: Executive—Jasen Nava, A. J. Cohelo, John L. Noriega, Eugene E, Seialiero, A. L. Seggus, Jose Alonzo and Frank L. Noriega; entertainment— Willlam McNeil, Paul Freygang, C. A. Cun- ningham, Joseph I. Hogan, Lieutenant E.F. Gibbons, U. 8. A., F.

Joslah Royce to Discuss His Book on the Religious Aspect of Philosophy, An important meeting of the Philo- sophical Union of the University of Cali- fornia will be held at the lecture rooms of the University at Berkeley the 30th of this month, at which the eminence of Cal- ifornian professors as delvers in the mys- teries of practical wisdom will be exem- plified. At that meeting two native sons of California, graduates of the State Uni- versity, who have won renown for their original views as thinkers, will address the union on the relation of philosophy to religion. The Philosophical Union, which was founded by Professor George H. Howison, the Mills professor of philosophy at the university, studies each year a book on philosophy by some eminent authority, and at the end of the year pays the ex- penses of the author to come to California and discuss his work before them. This is a new departure, inaugurated in the past year, which it is intended shall be perpetu- ated. During the gnr past the union has been studying “The Religious Aspect of Philosophy,” by Professor Josiah Royce of Harvard, and bie, in accordance with the plan outlined, will be present at the com- ing meeting. Professor Royce graduated from the State University in 1875, receiving his de- ree of doctor of philosophy at Johns ;Iopkins University in 1878. e was in- structor in English at Berkeley from 1878 to 1882, when he became instructor in hilosophy at Harvard. From this chair Ee was advanced to the assistant profes- sorship of philosophy in 1885, and from 1892 until the present time has occupied the chair of ;rwroiessor of philosophy. Besides “The Religious Aspect of Phi- losophy” Professor Royce is the author of another work much valued among pro- fessors entitled “The Modern Spirit of Philosophy,” and he is a frequent contrib- utor to the philosophical and psycho- logical reviews on philosophical and edu- cational topics. The forthcoming meeting will not only be an exceptionally important one to those interested in the study of philosofihg from the fact that Professor Royce wi iscuss his own book, but because another native son who has won distinction for his views on the same line of thought will be present and take part in the discussion. He is Professor Sidney E. Mezes, professor of philosophy at the University of Texas. Professor Mezes graduated from the State University 1n the class of 1884. He is looked upon as one of the most promising of the younger professors of the day. The topic of discussion at the meetin, will be “Supplements and modifications of the doctrine and the argumentation of Royce's religious aspect of Philosophy.” The meeting will be opened by Professor | Royce in an address in which he will set forth the supplements and modifications he would make to the arguments of his book, which was written ten years ago, some of hisideas contained in which he has on that account changed somewhat, aithough he still adheres in the main to the beliefs he held at the time of writing. SALVATION ARMY TRILBY. The Corps From Barracks No. 2 Springs a Sensation in the Street Parade. Several varieties of Trilbys, professional and amateur, have been produced since Du Maurier’s story became world famous, but it has remained for San Francisco to produce the most original one of all. For some time past the Salvation Army has not been drawing such large crowds as in the days gone by, and the audiences at the meetings in the barracks, which al- ways follow the parade, have been grow- ing thin. ecently the leader of the corps at Bar- racks No. 2 hit upon the idea of turnin the popular fad into some account an looked about for some one to personate Trilby. [t was %iflieult to obtain a lassie willing to call the attention of the popu- lace to herseli alone by appearing in the most approved Trilby costume, but one was finally secured who, for the snod of the cause, would don a white and flowing robe and a wreath of flowers and tramp over the cobbles to the music of the Salvation Army drum and tambourine. To say that she created a sensation when she npyenred with the cor%! on Kearny street last evening would be putting it mildly, and inside of ten minutes after the first tap of the drum announced that the line of march had been taken up the corps was followed by an open-mouthed crowd, wondering whether a lunatic had forced her way into the ranksor whether the arMy had developed an ultra species of new woman. . The army Trilby marched bravely along, however, looking neither to the right nor left. To give zest to the occasion a new variety of melody, borrowed from the min- strel stage, was introduced into the army band,consisting of the time-honored bones which clacked merrily. When a number of small boys joined in the band with more bones the march became one of triumph, ana the result of the experiment was a crowded house at the barracks. — e ———— BALDWIN CONCERTS. It Xs Decided to Give a Series of Five Classical Performances. The Al Hayman Company has decided that a series of five symphony concerts shall be given in the Baldwin Theater at the, conclusion of the Mechanics’ Fair. Just who the conductor will be has not yet been definitely settled, but a decision will probably be arrived at tc-morrow. At present the choice seems to be be- tween Fritz Scheel ana August Hinrichs, conductor of the Baldwin orchestra. I Scheel can furnish the required securities he will give the concerts on his own ac- count, and if they prove successful a second series wlllé:rohn'bly be undertaken. Failing Scheel, the Hayman Compan; will give the concerts, and Hinrichs will stand every chance of being engaged as conductor. It has been rumored among San Francisco musicians that Adolph Bauer of the Tivoli would conduct a series of concerts for the Hayman Company, but there was no foundation for the report, as his name has not been among those con- sidered by the proprietors of the Baldwin Theater. There has also been no question of importing a conductor from the East. There is a musical library, containing a wide and varied collection of orchestral scores, belonging to the Baldwin Theater. This will be invaluable in giving variety to the semi-classical portion of the pro- grammes. ——————— The Whitcomb Case. Jerome Lincoln, trustee under the will of A. C.
