Result of an Autocratic Rule Lald Down by the Market-Street Railway Company. A case of great interest to streetcar passengers to the Cliff House was decided by Justice of the Peace Carroll yesterday. One day last March Mary L. Keller rode steamcar line to Haight and Stanyan streets. On the way she handed the con- ductor ten cents, from which to deduct her fare. Before he handed her the change he was called to one end of thecar. Onre- turning he handed her the nickel changs, but no transfer to the cable-car as the end of the line. ‘When the cars stopped at Stanyan street Mrs. Keller hunted up the conductor and demanded her transfer. He refused to give her one on the ground that he did not know positively that she had paid a fare on his train. Of eourse Mrs. Keller had to pay another fare when she boarded the cable-car for home. She sued the Market-street Railway Cempany for $299 them. The case in court hinged on an old rule of the company which obliges a pas to ask for a transfer when he pays b If tbhe passenger neglects to do thisthe assenger m suffer the consequence and v the extra nickel according to the law as down by the autocratic company.

Training for the Championship Games. The Turner and Gallagher Fight. The outdoor athletes of the Olympic Club are practicing at the club’s outdoor grounds for the championship eames which will be held at Sacramento Sep- tember 12. Besides the wearers of the flying “0” there will be representative athletes com- peting in the games from several of the clubs that compose the Pacitic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. It is probable that the University of California will send some of its star athletes to com- pete in the races and jomps. The Sacra- mento Athletic Club will have some good jumpers end snot-putters to pit against the athletes from this City and Berkeley. Possibly Stanford College may have a representative or two in the meeting, which is expected to be the most interest- ing of any athletic event yet held in Sacra- mento. ¥ The wrestling tournament of the Olympic Club will occur on the evening of Septem- ber 12, and Professor Miehling is now busily engaged instructing his pupils in catci-as-catch-can. The prizes will be valuable, snd much interest will no doubt be manifested in the contests. The fighi between Billy Gallagher and i‘nrner. which was booked to take place this evening at Colma, has been stponed until the evening ot September . Gallagher arrived too late from New ork to get into proper shape for the con- test, and the managersof the Colma Ath- letic Club decided to postpone the match for onc week, within which time Gallagher expects to make up for what he bad lost in delay of travel. He says that the trip from the East put him back considerable and that he will have to work hard and fast to get into prolper shape for next Thursday night's battle, ———————— FOR HOME INDUSTRIES. The Manufacturers’ Association Will Establish an Advertising Bureau. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation has taken a new departure endis going into the newspaper advertising busi- ness. Itwill soon establish a burean. Ina circular letter to the members the secretary says: Our plan inciudes the establishment of & bureau in charge of & first-class advertising e man, one capable of writingeffective advertise- ments and sbility to place them in such papers and in such localities as would most benefit each advertiser, 1 g & waste of money to advertise mining machinery in ansgricultural section or a cure for malaria where catarrh is the prevailing complaint. The service we will give our members will be free of all expense to them, the only cost to the advertiser be!nfi the actual amount paid the newspapers. The “Fe amount of business we expect to handle will enable us to do it cheaper than you could per- haps do it yourself, and we hope you will there- fore take the matter under consideration so that you can be prepared to say apout how much advertising you are willing to do when our representatives call upon you. As can be seen the intention is to have California manufacturers do as much ad- vertising in the country papers asthe East- ern manufacturers, and thus inform the people of the interior what is made in Cali- fornia, who makes it and where it can be purchased. Assistant Secretary Dingle yesterday sent a letter to Colonel William M. Gra- bham at the Presidio requesting that only California materials be used in the con- struction of barracks now going on at the reservation. An imported roofing slate is being used and the request is made that, if possible, the plans be changed so that slate from California quarries will be used instead. .- A NOVEL RELIGIOUS SERVICE. Benediction of the ‘‘Northern Light’ at the Union Iron Works. The formal consecration of a boat isan innovation in church matters, yet sucha ceremony will take place at the Union Iron Works at noon to-day. “The Northern Light,” a flatboat of shallow draught, 40 feet long, with a 10-foot beam, will be dedicated to its service in the interests of ionary effort in Alasks. Thesteam launch is a gift from friends in the East, which was supple- mented by a contribution of $500 from the Union Iron Works, where it was con- structed. It is designed for the use of Rev. Juies Prevost, who will follow the Yukon River far into the interior by its means. Bishop Nichols, assisted by sev- erz] members of the clergy, will officiate, and the surpliced choristers from the Church of the Advent will participate in the service of benediction. Invitations have been sent to many representatives of the clergy and laity.

The Experience of Gus Strand, a Real Estate Agent. For the second time Gus Strand, real es- tate agent, 45 Third street, has been ac- quitted of the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. He was arrested along with Cruse and Scott, saloon-keepers, 215 Tenth street, some weeks ago. The case came before Judge Cdmpbell and he held Cruse and Scott to answer before the Su- perior Court and acquitted Strand. The complaining witness was A. J. Carr, a recent arrival from Chicago, who pur- chased a halfinterestin the saloon for ), and found later that Cruse and Scott had no interest in it. Carr wrote 2 letter to the Grand Jury complaining about Strand’s acquittal and stating that he had procured new evidence. The Grand Jury referred the matter to District Attorney Barnes with the suggestion that Strand should be again arrested and the case heard inan- other court. The case came up before Judge Joachim- sen yesterday when it was conclusively proved that Strand merely acted as an agent and only got his commission on $200, the amount paid by Carr. The Judge ac- cordingly dismissed the case. ————— The Most Sensitive Thing on Earth Isabuman nerve. This in astate of health.

ROMANCE OF A CLUBHOUSE. The Proprietor, Engaged to Marry Another Woman, Seek Safety In Flight. 0ax1AND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO C.u.v.,} Broadway, August 28. H. K. Nohara, the Japanese proprietor and manager of the Haywards Park Club- house, disappeared last Friday night. | Miss Rosie Links, a pretty governess | employed by a family at the Haywards | Hotel, is also missing. She, too, disap- | peared last Friday night. Neither of them told their friends of their destination, but each dropped hints enough during the past few weeks to cause their friends to declare there was no doubt they are now spending their honeymoon in some se- further damage, although she accused Mrs, Balbani of alienating her husband” affections. Mrs. Balbani at once returned to Judge Low’s court and swore outa warrant for Mrs. Wibrle’s arrest on the charge of bat- terv. Mrs. Wibrie had meantime disap- peared. THE HALF-MILLION CLUB. It Favors Bonding This City for Public Improvements. The executive committee of the Hali- million Club met yesterday in their new office, room 1, on the third floor of the Mills building. David Rich reported that the directors of the Mechanics’ Institute had set aside the evening of September 4 for the special benefit of the Half-million Club at the fair now being held in the Pa- vilion. It will be known as the Hali- million Club’s night, and special features will be introduced on that occasion. Musi- cal Director Scheel will prepare a musical treat that he will call the Half-million Club march. President Crocker requested the secretary to notify all members of the club to be present with their families, and re%uestad that all wear the club badge. he matter of bonding San Francisco for ublic improvements was discussed at ength. At the request of Hugh Craig a committee was appeinted to investigate the proposed new charter and determine what action, if any, the club shall take in the matter of the City being bonded for improvements. The judgment of the executive committee was that the Cit should be bonded, but the members wisg THE CLUBHOUSE, ON THE VERANDA WHERE THE SPFORTIVE JAP SUCCEEDED IN WINNING THE FAIR GOVERNESS, [Drawn from photographs.] young lady to whom Mr. Nohara was duly engaged in Haywards is left to nurse her grief and chagrin, and to plan revenge, alone. Harry, as the festive proprietor and man- ager of the clubhouse. is known to his friends and patrons. is one of the best- known caterers in San Francisco and Ala- meda counties. His manner was well cal- culated to secure custom, as he was more suave and polite than is general, even with Japs, and he was also what is termed a “lady’s man.” Thousands of oyclists have been refreshed by the manager, and nearly that number have, during the sum- mer months, remarked the delicate atten- tion that he paid to the governess from the neighboring hotel. There are also many sore hearts in Haywards, for it is a town of gallants, and not a few had cher- ished hopes regarding the fair Miss Rosie, all of which are now rudely dispelled. Miss Rosie Links went to Haywardsabout six months ago, and the presence of the young lady was soon kncwn all over town, for news travels fast in Haywards. She was pretty, her features were rather sweet and handsome, and she seemed to have considerable time at her disposal. She employed it taking short walks into the country, and about four months ago she was very much interested iu the Japanese manager of the clubhouse. Miss Links is an accomplisied young lady, and in addition to being an expert pinno-‘phger, she is able to talk with ease in half a dozen languages. It was partly ber curiosity to learn more of the guttural sounds of the language of the Orient that led to her desire to meet Nohara. But after the acquaintance commenced, it deepened at a rapid pace, and the sportive Jap fast learned to sing to Miss Links’ ac- companiment. He made more progress with his sing{ing. according to his friends, than Miss Rosie did with her study of Japanese. About two weeks ago there was a little scene on the main street at Haywards that nearly ended disastrously for Mr. Nohara, who bad, upknown to Miss Links, plac flowers that bad been accepted at the door of another young lady in Haywards. His | great friendship for Miss Links at last reached the ears of the goung lnd{ to whom Nohara had promised eternal love and fealty. This engagement was of sey- eral months’ standing, and had it not been for the coming of the pretty governess a wedding woul% probably have taken place by this time. His flancee met the frivolous Jap on the street, and after a quiet con- versation the passers-by heard the lady say in anything but a conciliatory tone of voice: “You promised to marry me—and you shall!” Nohara tried to argue the point, but the lady would do nothing but repeat the promise made her by the club manager. As a crowd commenced to gather round, Nohara thought discretion the better part of valor and disappeared into a neighboring saloon. Whetber Miss Links knew of his en- gagement or not, she continued her visits to the clubhouse until last ¥riday after- noon. Since that time she has not been seen ; neither bas Mr. Nobara. The cards of the ardent Japanese lover, according to the owners of the clubhouse, are somewhat misleading. Although they read ‘‘proprietor aud manager,” it was stated to-day that Nohara was simply manager. He had sole chargeof the place, and was fully trusted. According to_his successor, the trust was not violated, as the manager only paid bimself the salary due him up to the time of leaving. There are several bills, however, due local trades- men on account of the clubhouse, but they are probably all legitimate. This after- noon the secretary of the company own- ing the property went to the clubhouse, squared up the business and installed a new manager. MRS. WIHRLE WAS ANGRY, She Hit Mrs. Balbani in the Eye on the Larkin-Street Steps of the City Hall. There was an exciting scene on the Lar- kin-street steps of the City Hall yesterday morning for a few minutes, caused by one woman punching another in the eye. On Morday the wife of William Wihzle, a brewery engineer, swore out a warrant in Judge Low's court for his arrest on the charge of failure to provide for his two minor children. She had been separated from him for about two years, and he had not provided for the children for over a ear. x The hearing of the case was fixed for yesterday morning. Mrs. Wibrle had subpenaed as a witness Mrs. Balbani, 682 Ash avenne, in whose house her hus- band has beeu living since separating from ner. The parties were not ready to pro- ceed, and the hearing was postponed till Y Mrs. Balbani, her daughter and a lady friend left the courtroom accompanied b Wihrle.

PLUGGED THE KEYHOLE Novel Way in Which a Tenant Was Turned Out of a Hotel. Almost Tried to Commit Sulcide Under the Treatment—Saved by Friends. MRS Mrs. Jane Breuner told Justice of the Peack Groezinger a rather pathetic story yesterday about being put out of the Fair- mount Hotel. The story fairly bristled with all sorts of charges, innuendoes and hairbreadth escapes. It began with the landlord plugging the keyhole to her door in the hotel to keep her out, and ended with her failure to commit suicide. Inci- dentally she charged Collector ‘“Jake™ Rauer with being a “‘rabid Jesuit”’ and the cause of most all her trouble. Mrs. Breuner is the editor of the Free Lance, “Drawn in the Defense of Hu- manity.” Itissupported by a society that claims a membership of 2000 souls, accord- ing to Mrs. Breuner. About a score of them were in the courtroom yesterday to acquiesce in all she said and did. Leon E. Jones, J. V. Knightand H. C. Jones, proprietors of the hotel, were the defendants 1n the suit for $299 damages, and as Attorney Laura de Force Gordon was looking after the interests of Mrs. Breuner they had a very lively time of it, especially as they also had tostand the fire of the blazing giances and sharp com- ments of the twenty ladies assembled to defend the cause of the Free Lance. Mrs. Breuner told a touching story on the stand. When she reached the point of the plugged keyhole and herenforced tak- ing to the street in search of a lodging she broke down and wept. And many of the ladies present wept in sympathy with her, “I never paid my room rent in advance,” she began. ‘It was not expected of me. Frequently I went away to the country for ghort periods and the¥ saved my room for me. ’Fr:e last time I went to Santa Rosa (in March) they did that. In the latter part of that month they handed me a bill for $21 23. I paid $10 on account and re- mained till they shut me out. “April 6 they handed me another bill. A few days later when I came home I found the keyhole of my door plugged up. The callboy could not explain the matter, so I sent for Mr. Jones. He said the door was ordered closed till I paid my bill, They were stubborn and insisted, and would not return me even my toilet arti- cles or allow me to enter the room, “] was in a dreadful state of mind., At first I wanted to jump in the bay and end itall.

Finally, Mrs. Knight offered to share her bed with me. 1f she hadn’t I don’t know to what desper- ate straits I should have been driven,” and the witness, overcome by her emotions, began to cry softly. On cross-examination Mrs. Breuner testi- fied that the man who had charge of her money ran away some time ago, and that she intended having him arrested as soon as she could get track of him. She esti- mated that her effects in the room outside of her clothes were worth at least $200. ‘When her room was locked on April 10 she owed the hotel people $22, so_she figured out. When, why or bow ‘‘Jake” Rauer became a stanch Jesuit and started to prosecute her she was not permitted to say, as it had nothing to do With the case from a legal point of view.

Mechanics’ Institute Asks for a Holiday for Children to Visit the Falr. “Mr. Barrett told a deliberate and inten- tional falsehood when be informed me that this woman’s name was Claire, and he has purposely twisted facte all aiong,” was the rather startling announcement made by School Director Henderson at the meeting of the Board of Education last evening, while his resclution removing the janitress of the Laguna Honda Primary School and appointing Mrs. William Theo- bald to the place was under discussion. Mr. Henderson’s resolution seemed to stir up a hornet’s nest in the meeting, for no sooner had it been read than Director Ambrose ardse-and said that he would like to ask Mr, Henderson, through the chair, his reasons for presenting 1t. Mr. Henderson demurred at first, but tinally rose and said; “‘Because, in the first place, a number of children have been removed from the school because of this woman's incumbency of the position and are now roaming the streets; because this person is the daughter of a saloon-keeper and livesin a roadside resort which bears the same reputation as that of other houses of the kind, is not a proper house, and because the woman is doing her work under an assumed name and should not be paid or allowed to re- main under those conditicns.” “How do you know ail this?" asked Director Ambrose. Then Director Henderson turned loose the vials of bis wrath and made the re- marks quoted. Director Ambrose added to the general cordiality by classing Director Hender- son’s words as false and ungentlemanly. The resolution was finnfiy put to a vote and lost by a tie—five Directors voting in the negative and five in the affirmative. Director Clinton tried to have the regu- lation requiring two years’ experience and a Normal School graduation necessary to make applicants for teachers’ certificates eligible rescinded, but his motion was lost. A resolution was passed requesting the Board of Supervisors to appropriate $100,- 000 to be provided for by the cumixzim levy for the repair and enlarging of school- houses. A communication from the board of directors of the Mechanics’ Institute was read, stating that the board was anxious to extend the courtesies of the fair to the school children, and requesting that a day be set for a general holiday in the public schools. The matter was referred to the Superintendent of Schools with fuli power to act. A communication from Governor Budd, dated August 1, recommencing Mrs, Eliza- beth McCoy for the position of teacker, for which she had applied, wasread and placed on file. A communication from the Board of Health requesting the Board of Education to devise ways and means to abate a dan- erous nuisance in the Richmond school- ouse was placed on file.
