All arrengements for the open-air per- formance of “As You Like it” at Sutro Heights have been completed. The date is set for the afternoon of Saturday, Sep- tember 31, at 2 o’clock. As the Stockwell Company, now playing at the Columbia Theater, will take the principal parts in the cast, Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. have decided to close the house for the matinee on that day, and give a special matinee on the Thursday previous. The affair is under the auspices of the Channing Auxiliary and the Society for Christian Work. .An amphitheater will be buiit for the seating of not less than 5000 | persons, and ample accommodations for as | many more, who will occupy chairs and | private boxes. A large and specially SHE TOOK HER OWN LIFE, Mrs.* Dr.” Schmidt, in Despair, Sent a Bullet Through Her Heart., HER' HUSBAND IS ACCUSED. She Chargeq Him With Varlous Crimes and Sald he Drove Her Daughter to Death. Mrs. Caroline Schmidt, better known as “Mrs. Dr. Schmidt,” took her own life at 1508 Market street yesterday, adding an- other tragedy to the history of her family, THE REMODELED STEAMER COO0S BAY. \ [Sketched by a * Call " artist.] Thomes, Maurice Bischoffsheim, J. O. Mahoney, Ivor Bevaw, A. W. Evans, Otto | Olsen. There were five white and thirty. six Asiatics in the steerage. Along the water front it is thought that the unknown vessel reported yesterday to have been wrecked mnear Port Clarence, Alaska, July 28, is the brig W. H. Meyer. She left this port June 6 heavily loaded with lumber, coal and supplies for the Mc Kenna steam whalers, and her destination was the different ports in the vicinity of Port Clarence. She wasowned by James McKenna and was commanded by Captain Hanson. McKenna himself is sure that the lost brig is the Meyer. The vessel was running in place of the James Allen, which was lost some time ago. The brig and cargo was worth $50,000, partly insured. Thomas Nelson, a water-front character known as “Lame Tom,”’ was arrested yes- terday at the grocery-store of Henry Wil- son at the corner of Drumm and Sacra- mento_streets, and charged with conduct- ing a China lottery game. Thelayout was in a back room having six exits, & provision against police raids. The player would be given his ticket in the saloon of the gro- cery, and, stepping into the back roem with its hali-dozen outlets, mark the spots in accordance with his judgment. Theotlicers planned the raid well, and, with all the doors guarded, Callahan and Dower broke into the well-secured place. The room was filled with players, but | they bad gotten rid of their tickets and only Nelson was caught frying to destro; | a bundle of 100 tickets. Wilson disappear but will be arrested. Charles Walker was arrested on Saers- mento_street yesterday with a bundle of Little Louisiana Lottery tickets in his pos- session 'by Officers J. Porter and M.J. Heafhy. Porter is the officer who arrested a ticket-seller some time ago and the man after his conviction charged the arresting officer with cruelty. It wasa scheme on the part of the lottery agents to intimidate the officers and the charges were so flimsy that the Police Commissioners dismissed them instanter. The steamer Laguna bound from San Francisco to Usal broke her shaft five miles north of Point Arena, and was'towed by the steam schooner Newsboy to her desti- nation. To-day the Interclub Yacht Club regatta will be sailed onthe bay, and will be the nautical event of the year. Asthe entire | trained chorus will be one of the features, under the direction of E. E. Schmitz, and all of the original music will be used. It is expected that the Berkeley Uriversity Glee Club will assist in the_ presentation, | and the foresters, lords, ladiesand gentle- | men will be recruited from the students of the Columbia Theater School of Dramatic | Art io the number of fifty, thoroughly | drillea in their res{ectivc parts. The lead- | ing roles will be taken by Henry E. Dixey, Maurice Barrymore, L. R. Stockwell, Wil- | liam G. Beach, Maude Winter and Miss | Rose Coghlan. PACIFIC-STREET WHARF | Harbor Commissioners Colnon and Chadbourne Highly | ’ Gratified. Chief Engineer Holmes Explains the Advantages of the New Cylinder Pile. The new pier which will be constructed at the Pacific-street wharf on the | water front will, according to the plans | seen at the office of the Harbor Commis- | sioners, show a great improvement in the construction of piers over the old method, | which for years has been closely followed. In speaking of the matter yesterday Har- bor Commissioner Colnon said: Iam sure that the new pier will bea great improvement over all methods heretofore | aaopted by the Harbor Commissioners. While the cost of the new K!er will be 37,500, which is only about one-third more than the cost of construction of a pier ofthe old quality and form, yet I am fully convinced that the new pier will prove to be much more satisfactory in | every way, and in the end much cheaper than | the ordinary pier. Howard C. Holmes, chief engineer for the board, in speaking of the matter said: | You will readily understand that this plan of | | constructing piers is a pet hobby of mine when I telt you that I have en for years endeavor- { ing to have it adopted here. | The plan of construction may, in short, be described as follows: The piles, instead of being | single and 10 feet apart as in the ordinary | pier, will be 22}4 feet apart.

All the [\;schu except those of class 1—Jessie, Lurline and Ramona—will go over the co}irse once, a distance of fourteen nautical miles. The other three double the course, mak- ing a run of twenty-eight miles. The mis- understanding existing between the inter- club committee and the Pacific Yacht Club has been utiufnctm—ili settled, and the lat- ter will take part in the regatta. The races will be held under the direction of Charles G. Yale, J. M. Shotwell and H. H. Jenness of the Franciscos; C. W. Platt, W, A. Barlage and W. A. Stringer of the Corin- thians; C. E.

After this cap or cylinder is lowered over the three piles the water and mud will be pumped out, and for a thickness of two feet ucgu made of strong burlap loosel{ filled with equal parts of sand and cement will be thoroughly rammed into the bottom, thus forming a solid founda- tion for a filling of cement. ~The cylinders will be filled with cement bound together with un- stranded portions of cable rope wire, which will act as a binder, much as hair acts in plaster, thus forming a solid concrete piling within the iron or steel cylinder. The :gun- being much lona:r in the new wharf than those of the old, the timbers used in its construction will be proportionately heavier and stronger in every way. A continuous spring or cushion line will be wgd about the wharf proper, the cushion ng two feet from the pier proper so asto take up the force of the vessels in coming in contact with the pier. The life of these iron or steel cylinder piers ‘will be about thirty years. This will prove an immense saving tc the State,and Iam sure after this one is coustructed that the State will think of mn-trumns'no other kind, as its ad- vantages are seli-evident. At s general court of the Hudson Bay Company, held in London lately, the Part of her life history is told in the fol- lowing letter found in her pocket: 8aN FRrANCIscO, August 22, 1895. Dear Husband : Your wish 1s answered now. These eyes, which were in your way, are closed, but your eyes will be opened when with the rising of the sun your star will set. God knows how you have treated my poor children and | me. The bullet which you shot at uscan be found yet as witness in the kitchen, 1211}4 'é‘:nn 1“in him, he won’t leave you, and don’t air.

Be good to yourself and look out for the baby. Stay away from those people who have tortured your mother to desth. I nore you will never forget this, otherwise they will bring you in trouble. Good-by. Many kisses from your unhappy mother. Don't spend any money foolighly.-I don’t want any flowers nor fine coffin—take the cheapest you can get. " The Waldbheimermentioned in the above is M. J. Waldheimer, an attorney,who was employed to defend Mrs. Schmidt in the criminal charges now pending against her in the Superior Court.” 8he was accused of the murder of Mrs. Louise Hauser and the trial was to have begun yesterday morn- ing before Judge Belcher. Some of the testimony introduced at the Coroner’s in- quest went to show that Mrs. Hauser died from the effects of a criminal operation. Mr. Waldheimer asserts that Mrs. Schmidt was non compos mentis and says he knows nothing about the woman, save as a client. “Dr.” Schmidt married the woman, who was then Mrs. Dietrich, about eight years ago. At that time he was a private in the Uhnited States army and in order to marry him she secured a divorce from her hus- band. The deceased was at that time wealthy, and with her money secured a medical diploma for her new husband. Peace reigned for a time, bwt Schmidt grew tired of his family ties and the ru ture began which has ended in the suicide of two members of the family. Before killing herself Mrs: Schmidt destroyed a diploma which her husband had secured from an Ohio medieal college and also his photograph. When he visited the rooms after the tragedy and discovered this fact it seemed to affect him more than did Mrs. Schmidt's death. As soon as he learned of the tragedy he hastened to the Morgue and secured $31 35 that was on his wife's remains &nd also her diamond rings and ornaments. Later he arranged with the Coroner and undertaker for the funeral, and then disappeared. VETS TO COELEBRATE. Their Association Decides to Spend the Ninth at Gilroy. The Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Asso- ciation will celebrate Admission day this year at Gilroy, having accepted an invita- tion of the committee of that town. A firemen’s tournament will be held, in which fire companies from Watsonville, Salinas and other cities will be present. The veterans from this City will take their doublé-deeker hand engine with them. They have also engaged the Veteran Fire- men’s Band of sixteen pieces. The Vets will go down to Gilroy with a big crowd of red shirts. They declined, after much dis- cussion, to accept the invitation of the Na- tive Bons to participate in the parade in Sacramento. The Veteran Volunteer Firemens’ Asso- ciation has, since its organization, made many visits. The members last year went on a tour through the southern part of the State. A few years ago they went East and visited all the principal cities of the Union. They were royally received by veteran fire associates and fire depart- ments wherever they went. The Vets now number over 400, almost all of whom are well-to-do citizens of the State. They believe in enjoying themselves in their old WHEN BURNS COMES BACK Senator Jerry Mahoney Ready to Desert the Ex-Boss. E WAS LEFT TO FIGHT ALONE. Burns WIill Find But Few Except the Rounders to Greet His Return. “When Burns comes back.” Thesehave been the words which have served to strengthen the fast fainting hearts of many of the political rounders of this City ever since the doughty colonel's departure for greener ficlds some months ago. Al- most any evening at the Baldwin Hotel may be seen a large number of “the faith- ful” collected there to talk over the situa- tion and to rejoice with each other over the feasts that will be set and the many fatted calves that will be killed for their especial benefit, “when Burns comes back.” There is Jack O’Connor, ex-Assembly- man Coffey and a host of ‘“‘de push,” who are living in great hopes, and not they only, but many others who fought and shouted and frothed under the colonel’s banner, all are waiting until Burns comes back. But there are others who await him as tabby awaits for the mouse. Their hun- ger and his neglect of them after rendering him yeomenry service has driven them to a state bordering on desperation. “Why should he,” they say, “have de- serted everybody who ever did him service and left ever;thing here to go to the ‘other fellows?” He could at least have shown some interest in the affairs of the distribution of the patronage of the City and kept his forces together. “But no, he must rush off East and spend the summer in horseracing and doing any and every thing save to look out for the boys.” Jerry Mahoney, the Senator whose rubi- cund, well-rounded face and form ever danced ready attendance to the will of Burns during the late election, is under- stood to be very much put out; in fact, thoroughly indignant at the manner in which Eolonel Burns turned his back upon him, leaving him to fight out single- handed and alone the battles brought on by tbhe methods adopted by the Burns eople in the late election. Any man feels ?uriou! when he realizes that another has made a catspaw of him, and his anger is very likely to be quickened into a white heat when he finds that his “paw’ has been severely burned and the one in whose interest the burning was done absolutely ignores him and treats with absolute con- tempt all appeals for assistance. ait till Burns comes back and then the ublic may fully know why Jerry Ma- Eoney no longer walks, talks and hobnobs with nim asof old. The sight of Burns Mission street. O God, how many nights have we had to go on the street; how many nights had we to close ourselyes up, and wept when you were going to butcher us with your icherratie. How many times you wanted to put me in an insane asylum if other peogle had not kept you from doing it. Better this death than to be placed in an insane asylum with clear senses. Now you have your lihen{; ou can live with low women in certain {outes asyou were used to do. Do you think you will enjoy that better than to live in an honorable ‘way with {0“1’ family? I thank God that my angel Louisa, whom you drove to death & year ago, does not need to experi- ence ail this. By day and_by night we will appear before your eyes and cry “Triple mur- derer!” Your conscience will be awakened and will haunt you, as {ou have driven, by meanest methods, & trne, honorable, diligent wife todeath. Ionce worried you, but I par- don you and will ask God to pardon you for all we have suffered. But remember one thing—we are the third family you have driven to ruin. Remember t woman you have brought away from ner home in Vienna and have left in misery in America. Remember your wife and child in Texss, whose maledic- tions will follow you. I knew nothing about these unhappy people until I was long married to you. My last wish is, leave everything the way I have arranged and put us inone grave. Take a plain, cheap cof no_flowers, and, never come to visit_our graves. You hated u<in our life, and shall not claim to have an affection for us in death. Louisa, my angel, shall be buried with us, Please pardon me that I have taken along the baby, but I think it will be better off than 1§ it were to live an orphan, like the boy in Texas, without father. I swear be- fore God Almighty, who will judge me in a short time, that you have abused your wife, whe was a8 good and true to you asa child. Good-by. Don’t forget your unhnpsy ‘wife. God pardon me for what I have done in despair, to which you have driven me, for you were my husband and your will may be done. The Louisa referred to in the letter was the daughter of Mrs. Schmidt and the step- daighter of the man who is accused of being the cause of all the trouble, _About a year ago “Dr.”’ 8chmidt was in Europe on what was called a professional visit. He and his stepdaughter Louisa had never been friends, and when the latter heard he was on his way back to San Francisco she shot herself through the heart, and in a letter stated she could no lopger stand the cruelty of her stepfather. After the inguest on the remains of her daughter Mrs. Schmidt secured the re- volver and it was with that weapon that she took her life yesterday. The child re- ferred to in the letter is her little five-year- old son, the only witness of the tragedy. All that could learned from him was: “Mamma was in a hurry all morning. Then she took up the pistol and there was a big bang and the water all ranout of her breast. I was frightened and hid-until sister came.” To her eldest daughter the mother wrote: Dear Ohild: You know everything about the way Schmidt tortured me the way Wald- heimer laughed about me and ridiculed me, and that he played this trick on me. At last my heart broke. I could not close my eyes day or night. Every day I had to endure worse insults. Pardon me that ;ou must go once more to this trouble. Ob, ! T woul like to take you that you might be freed of all this. But I cannot hurt even an animal. ch you must suffer; stay with your rofits for the year were declared to be sz,ooo, almost exclusively from furs, giv- ing a dividend of $3 per share. 8o mu father momzh and be good. ‘The true mother heart cannot care for you oDy more, but ber true eye will watch you.

The Veterans have fine headquarters in the Pioneer building, which are elegantly furnished. On the walls are pictures of fire engines, scenes of early days, relics of old times, portraits of noted firemen, and oil paintingfi of the old Chiefs Kohler, ‘Whitney, Hossefross, Duane, Nuttman, and Scannell, all of whom now sleep in the city of the dead. The trip to Gilroy is being anticipatea with much pleasure. A rousing welcome is in store for the Vets when they arrive at Gilroy. A ROCK-CRUSHING PLANT, The Prison Directors Decide to Establish One at Folsom. Senator Seymour Will Not Be Su= perintendent—The Appropri= atlon Avallable. The State Board of Prison Directors held a meeting at Folsom yesterday and went over the entire subject of establishingw rock-crushing plant, for which purpose the Legislature last winter appropriated $31,000. Directors D, E. Hayes, Edgar J. de Pue, Robert Devlin and R.M. Fitzgerald at- tended the session. Director Jacob Neff was absent, being out of the State. A rock-crushing plant, with a capacity of erushing 900 tons er 600 cubic yards of rock per day—a qnsnt:g equal to ninety carloads—was considered at length and steps to establish it taken. Some little de- tail work of plans will be necessary before proposals are invited for the machinery. A body of suitable rock vast enough to luplply material for fifty years was found on land belonging to the prison tract. The water power of the great dam can be util- ized for the crushing work. 3 Director Hayes, who was seen at the Occidental Hotel Tast evening, is confident that much good for the State can be ac- complished undef the law. A great re- duction in railroad rates had been obtained, so that the crushed material may be de- livered throughout the State at small cost. In reply to an inqniri:l to whether Sen- ator Seymour of S8an Bernardino County had been.appointed superintendent of the plant, Director Hayes #aid no provision was contained in the law for the salary of a superintendent, and that the office would not g: created by the board. Men compe- tent to supervise and direct the work were already available at Folsom. ¢ ———————————— The engagement of Marquis Pierre de Chambrun and Miss M: t Nichols, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. amy Storer of Ohio, is announced. The Marquis is ?gu&-:lor of the French Embassy at Wash- gton. will, no doubt, recall yividly to Mahoney’s mind the fact that while Sternberg and Cohen were on trial for illegal registration, and later, the latter for perjury, Burns left him to sink or swim as best he could. Those were trying days, and when Mahoney thinks of the egflorts which were made by the Grand Jury to freach him, after his ‘‘tools” were in the toils of the law, he cannot reconcile Burns' action in de- serting him with ani act of profession of friendship. But perhaps the colonel was too busy thinking of his own personal safety to give much attention to hisold friend Jerry. Who knows? \ Certain it is that when the colonel re- turns to San Francisco he wiil find the worst lot of broken-down fences that ever greeted a political boss’ eyes. The main feature in his aifairs he will find to be that many of the men who have for some years worked with him have lost all faith in his methods of political work, as well as all faith in him as a political leader. He promised much readily, but fulfilled very little, and that grudgingly. The *‘workers” can only be held together by being treated fairly. The desertion of one is the desertion of all. The fates of Sternberg and Cohen have shown the ‘‘rounders’ that they cannot depend on Burns should they ever get into. trouble dver any shadv work. The shibbo- leth of the Burns faction no longer admits into the inner chamber of the political household, and against all such are closed the doors of the sanctum where patronage is dealt out. WILL NOT RESIGN. Henry T. Scott Will Serve His Full Term as School Director. Andrew J. Moulder, Superintendent of Common Schools, will not have the ap- pointing of a Democrat to the Board of Education to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of a Republican. It is an axiom in the political party to which Mr. Moulder belongs “that offize- holders seldom di¢ and never resign.” Since a rumor was published that Henry T. 8cott had decided to resign from the School Board there has been some com- ment as to whether Mr. Moulder would fl)polnt another Republican to_serve out . Scott’s unexpired term. In this re- snrd there has been a waste of conjecture. ohn D. Spreckels, School Dir‘?::or Stone and other Republicans have received assur- ances that the resignation will not be offered. Mr, Scott will probably go to Washing- ton next October to attend the letting of contracts for new ships of the U States navy, but his absence will not be prolonged beyond sixty days. The Envelope Game. James Clark, the occupant of a stall in the “Midway Plaisance,” was arrested a week ago for conducting a game of chance. Yesterday he was sgain arrested on the charge of petiy larceny by Policeman Ingham. Clark ran ‘what is known as the “envelope e.” Cer- tain letters are placed in an envelope, and the Ph(or bets that he will draw a certain letter and the chances are twenty to one against him. N FACIAL BLEMISHES. Skin Eruptions Which Often Show the ‘Body to Be in a Weakened Condition. HOW KR P. F. ADELSBACK WAS CURED. His Friends, His Neighbors and AH Are Glad to Learn What Has Been Done for Him. It Is Interesting—Read. Facial blemishes are a source of annoy- ance and inconvenience to many young men and women of our land. ‘When these blood spots appear on the face of an individual he or she is kept con- stantly telling friends that it is nothing, means nothing, only, only, there they are, and, well—what are you going to do about them. Thus it was with one of the leading young men of Madera. Mr. P. F. Adels- back has been long known to the good peo- ple of Madera, and what he says is invari- ably relied upon. He 1s a bright, energetic young fellow and may be seen at all the swell balls and dinner parties of Madera. It was only recently that Mr. Adelsback suffered from impure blood and pimples and facial skin eruptions. He listened to advice given to him by his friends and took the remedies prescribed for him by his doctors. He was pale, sallow and thin. Nothing did him much good until he be- gan using the herb laxative, Joy's Vegeta~ ble Sarsaparilia. He is now looking fine. The picture fairly represents a man in good, robust health, and this is just the condition ot Mr. P. F. Adelsback of Ma- dera. . ‘When seen by your writer he was frank and outspoken in the praise of Joy’s Vege- table Sarsaparilla. HOW HE CAME TO USE THE REMEDY. A friend of Mr. Adelsback used Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla for kidney com- plaint and was cured. He had many pimples’ on his face before using Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and as they disap- peared he told Mr. Adelsback of the fact. Many are the peculiar, and, at times wonderful, yea, singularly remarkable re- coveries from the use of this herb remedy. Hundreds of persons began taking the remedy just as a laxative and gradually got over chronic affliction. Madera has had many of such peculiar cases and nearly all of them came to the hearing of Mr. Adelsback. It is for these reasons that he used the great Californian remedy, and now he rejoices and tells his friends, his neighbors and all what good has been ac- complished for him. There are a few druggists about the coast who endeavor to have persons take some- thing other than Joy’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilia, and if you decide to go to buy a bottle be sure you do not allow the drug- gist to talk you into taking some “‘just as good.”” When you ask for Joy’s Vegetable Barsaparilla get that and no othner.
