14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1895. OUR TRILBYS N MARBLE, 8oclety Women Having Their Feet Modeled by Rupert Schmid. ALL OF THEM ARE T0O SMALL. The Fad Has Shown the Sculptor That Modern Shoes Are Too Tight. | “T could not swear to the fact that they are Trilby feet,” said Rupert Schmid as he looked critically, yesterday afternoon, at a number of plaster casts and marbles that were sprinkled about his studio. *I would not swear to that, because I do not know what a Trilby foot is, but Ido not think you will find a better foot than that and that.” There were & number of casts and mar- bles to choose from and to a casual be- bolder they ail looked small enough to put the Venus de Milo to shame—if a small foot be a thing to glory in. Some of the feet were resting on cushions of chiseled marble, others were tilted into a modern attitnde by means of pieces of marble un- der the heel, sonme were long and graceful, others were plump and pleasing, but they were all exact models of the feet of real, living, breathing, San Francisco society women who, in accordance with the iocal development of Trilbymania, have had belonging to the San Francisco ladies. That is almosta perfect ‘Trilby’ and so is that,” and the sculptor picked up two samples in his_exhibit and held them to the light admiringly. They were beauti- fully shaped feet, neither too plumpnor too slender, the bones were small and well covered and there were little or no signs of the cramping that tight shoes give to a foot. I could not swear that they are Trilbys, but they are beautiful,” repeated Schmid. *“They both belong to tall, well- developed women, and according to the canons of antique art, these feet are too smail in proportion to their owners. That ¢ This is in proportion.” foot that is uptilted is beautiful, too, and its owneris smaller and more slender, So | it is in better proportion, but it is not large enough to belong to a Venus. 1t is strange that we laugh at the Chinese for cramping their women'’s feet, while there is nota nineteenth century lady whose feet do not PHOTCGRAFH OF THE TRILBY FOOT THAT MISS CRANE KEI Ps | MODESTLY HIDDEN, their beauteous Trilbys modeled in order that they may be preserved in imperisha- ble marble. When Rupert Schmid first received or- ders to model the feet of the 400 he did the chiseling not exactly *‘in darkness by dead of night.” becausea good light is neees- sary to bring expression out of marble; but he was wont to ‘‘seek the seclusion | that a studio grants” and to do his work in silence and alone. Asthe Trilbys grew and multiplied around him, however, the sculptor lost his first timid awe of them. He had often modeled feet before. It was the mysterious Trilbyism and the four- hundredism that had filled him with dread. He had also been afraid that every casual beholder would be able to exclaim, “That is Mrs. Five O'Clock’s foot | of Nob Hill”; “That Trilby belongs to *Too small for its owner.” the beautiful Miss Rosebud of Van Ness avenue”; and he had_trembled lest Mrs, Five 0'Clock and Miss Rosebud should call him a base deceiver and annihilate him. Rupert Schmid has made gradual ex- periments, however, and he has found that & detached foot is an anonymouns thing | and gives little or no clew to the identity | thav account he con- | of its owner.

Are these as beautiful as the ones Du Maurier wrote about?” was asked. “From what [ have heard about the Trilby foot [ should say there were but a few in existence.

The physciology of the foot I have studied, but its psycbology, the expression and soul in it, I'can only obtain by imitating nature, and there is expression even in nineteenth century feet. If it were not so, I wonld never consent to puander to the Trilby craze.” In the dramatized version of “Triby” the heroine never once shakes off her slip- pers and exhibits her feet to the admiring gaze of the studio, as the Trilby of the novel did. Speaking of this last night Miss Crane, the actress who is plaving the part at the Baldwin Theater, said: *I wish I could persuade Mr. Potter to ‘A Pretty Uebutante’s Foot.” give back to Trilby those lines about the perfection of her feet. I mean to ask him to do 50. You know he has given them to Svengali, and the loss of that little bit of business where Trilby sits on the throne and speaks about her foot and its twin is Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U.

It would be a reckless characteristic act to throw off her shoes and it would give the stage Trilby some of the bohemianism of her counterpart in the novel. “Her opportunity for being hoydenish *¢This moves on Nob Hill.” is very brief, for as soon as she notices Billee’s displeasure she bas something to worry about and is no longer the gay, careless Trilby of the studio.” Some of the actresses who are playing Trilby in the East have been interviewed at great length upon the extreme art re- quired to make un the feet for the stage. Miss Crane statea last night that no art was required. ‘“A little powder is suffi- cient for all purposes,’” "she said. ‘‘The feet have to be made up in case the slip- pers shovld fall off. but as for any skill in making them up that is nonsense.” Then Venus Di Medici. the impersonator of D uttered a very un-Trilbyish sentiment, *I cannot understand all' this fuss about Trilby and her beautiful feet. If I had named the play 1 should have called it ‘Svengali.’ ”* Maurier's heroine SAN JOSES WATERWAY Members of the Congressional Delegation Examine Al- viso Channel. Revival of Commerce by Last Year’s Strike—The Railroad Com- mission Outdone. The members of the Congressional dele- gation made an inspection of Alviso chan- nel yesterday. At 10 o’clock the steamer Alviso was boarded at Clay-street wharf by Senators White and Perkins and Con- gressmen Loud, Hilborn and Barham. They were joined by a committee of cif zens from San Jose, composed of the fo lowing genilemen, appointed by the Board of Trade: C. M. Wooster, president of the Board of Trade, chairman; O. A. Hale, W. | J. Rodgers, W. C. Andrews, A. Summers, James Dougherty, S. E. Smith, W. G. Hawley, H. T. Hermann, Supervisor S. F. Ayres, Mayor Paul Austin and C.J. Owen of the San Jose Mercury. W.W. Montague and Senator John L. Beard, who are largely interested in the country about Alviso, also joined the party. On the way down the bay members of the committee presented their claims and discussed the various points involved with the Congressmen. It was pointed out that the channel was a magnificent waterway and capable of being made available at no very great ex- pense forocean ships. Engineer Herrmean said that at an expense of not more than $25,000 Alviso Point could be cut off and the channel deepened enough to enable large coasting vessels to go up to Alviso with coal, lumber and other freight, and that there would be very little expendi- ture required in the future to keep it clear. Senator White Eoinled out that Congress would hardly make an appropriaton at the coming session against the recommenda- tion of the engineers, who had reported that the channel was in good enough con- dition for the amount of commerce at the time the survey was made. Mr. Wooster explained that there had been little use made of the waterway since the railroads were built until the strike last year, when boats were puton. *Al- ready,” he said, “this little stream has reduced grain rates from §1 60 to §1 20. The late reduction of rates by the Railroad Commission was only to $1 45. This small boat line is saving to San Jose $100,000 a year. Senator Perkins said: “I think that we can at least get an appropriation for an- other survey. You have not navigated this stream for twenty or twenty-five years until the strike came, and the amount of commerce did not make a strong showing t5 go before Congress on. Now you can make a much better showing and it promises to improve. You have here as good water communication as that into Stockton.” The party embarked at Alviso, where the big warehouses and mills deserted so many years and allowed to go to ruin are now giving way to the new buildings of a revived commerce and gave the committee from San Jose the strongest argument pre- sented during the day. The visitors were driven to the Hotel Vendome in San Jose and returned to the Ci_t[y in the evening. o-day the Congressmen will make a trip around the bay and examine the rocks in the harbor that are menaces to navi- gation and will also make an_examination of the guns and fortifications at Fort Point. —————— BIOYOLE ASSOCIATION. Various Measures Adopted for the Pro- tection of the Society. The Bicycie Protective A ssociation met at the corner of Leavenworth and Golden Gate avenue yesterday. 8. W. Backuswas in the chair. A number of important measures came before the meeting for its consideration, among which was a fee schedule for re- pairing .bicycles and blacklisting all per- sons who refused to pay for damages to wheels when rented. A special officer was also appointed to represent the associa- tion, whose special business it will be to trace stolen wheels. The rental schedule will be 50 cents for the first hour and 25 cents an_hour there- aiter. The secretary reported that the as- sociation was in a flourishing condition, and his report strongly recommended the association to give its influence in every way possible to the movement for street improvements. The association passed a resolution pro- testing against a license fee of $15 a quar- ter for conducting and carrying on the business of bicycle dealer. 'ghe sense of the meeting was that a reasonable license would not be objected to, but that $5 a quarter would be about all they could stand.

The Attorney-General Will Assert the State’s Rights In the Premises. W. F. Fitzgerald, Attorney-General of Califoruia, has examined voluminous doc- uments recently placed in his possession and has decided to take steps necessary to collect taxesand exercise State sovereignty over a tract of 3000 acres of California land which isclaimed by the Territory of Ari- zona. Many buildings in the business quarter of the town of Yuma are situated on this land. The extensive buildings of the ter- ritorial penitentiary are on the soil of Cali- fornia. Soare the Southern Pacific Rail- road shops, steamboat lanaing, the Yuma Water and Light Comypany’s pumping works, the Yuma electric plant and about one-third of the business section of the city. The Yuma property within the lim- its of California is valued at $1,000,000. The buildings on the line of Modesti’s store and north of it are really in San Diego County of this State. From the organization of the California State Government until 1878 the taxes were collected by San Diego County, and the authority of California » was fully recognized. In 1878 the county officers appointed to collect versonal property and poll-taxes were driven out of the town by a mob, and since then San Diego has not attempted to assess property or oring the town under California’s jurisdiction. Colonel Chalmers Scott of San Diego is familiar with the boundary lines and quite well posted regarding the merits of the dispute. He served as County Clerk of 2n Diego when residents in Yuma on both sides of the Colorado River voted in California and paid taxes to this State. In an interview yesterday Colonel Seott said: “‘Arizona exércises sovereignty over 3000 acres of land in California, under a de- cision rendered by an Arizona Judge in a case wherein California was not repre- sented. In fact it wasa pretended case put up for the special purpose of getting a decision one way. The record of surveys is so clear and the boundary lines are so distinculy defined and stated in the Guada- lupe Hidalgo treaty that there can be no doubt that Arizona is the trespasser. I have frequently retraced the lines, and what is more important now as bearing on the case is the fact that the boundary line has been re-marked within the last few months by a joint commission of the United States and Mexico. In the work of the commission Colonel Barlow, United States engineer, represented our Govern- ment and Colonel Blanco of the Mexican engineers the Government of Mexico. They found the initial point and the mon- uments of the survey in the city of Yuma, ! { on the line established in 1852 “In order that the merits of the con- troversy may be comprehended, reference should be made to article 8 of the Guada- lupe Hidalgo treaty, which defined the | boundaries. I'he boundary line, after fol- lowing up the Rio Grande to a point above El Paso, runs west to the western bound- ary of New Mexico; thence northerly until | it intersects the first or nearest branch of | the Gila; thence down the middle of said | branch, and up the said river until it empties into the Rio Colorado; thence | acr the Rio Colorado following the | division line between Upper and Lower California to the Pacific Ocean. And in order to preclude all difficulty in tracing upon the ground the limit separating Up- per from Lower California, it is agreed that the said limit shall consist of a straight line drawn from the middle of the Rio Gila where it empties into the Colo- rado to a point on the coast of the Pacific Ocean distant orie marine league due south of the southernmiost port of San Diego (according to Panlaja’s chart).” The straight line ‘so run, so clearly es- tablished by surveys and so fully recog- nized by treaty, includes in California a strip of 3000 acres south of the Colorado, where the river runs east and west for a | few miles near Yuma. In 1857, under Colonel John C. Hays, United States Surveyor-General. township 16 south, range 21 and 22 east of San Ber- nardino meridian, was subdivided and the snbdivision line carried across the river to the boundary line. “But for some unknown reason,” said Colonel Scott, *“the subdivisions on the opposite side of the Colorado River were scratched out on the official maps of the BSurveyor-General's office.”” On the day that California was admitted to the Union, September 9, 1850, Congress passed the organic act creating the Terri- tory of New Mexico, including then Ari- zona north of the Gila, but section 18 of that organic act of New Mexico suspended the provisions of the act until a dispute with Texas as to the eastern boundary of New Mexico should be settled, which was really not settled until after 1874, if isettled at all, consequently the right of California to the strip south of the Colorado River cannot now be disputed. Arizona sets up a claim, under a mis- reading of the Gadsden purchase (Gadsden treaty, December 30, 1853), but this treaty | retains the dividing line between Upper and Lower California as then established. The boundary lines of California, as es- tablished by the first constitution at Mon- terey and repeated word for wo-d in the second constitution, conform to t 1e Guada- lupe Hidalgo treaty. Under our State con- stitution one-third of the town of Yuma is in California. It may be true that, ac- cording to geographical sitnation, the land on that side of the Colorado belongs to Arizona, but not according to official survey of boundary lines under the treaty of original acquisition. The controversy may be settled in the United States courts or a joint conmission representing California and Arizona may agree on terms of settlement. HEARST'S NEW PAPER. - The Proprictor of the Examiner Has Purchased One of New York’s Big Dailies. It is reported that W. R. Hearst, pro- prietor of the Examiner, has purchased a paper in New York City. He has tele- graphed for three bright members of the Examiner staff to meet him in New York, and they leave this City to-day. It is thought he has purchased either the New York Journal or the New York Times. The Journal is a penny paBer started some twelve years ago by Albert Pulitzer, brother of the proprietor of the New York World. Its editorial rooms are in the Tribune building. The New York Times is one of the oldest dailies of the metropolis, and was at one time the organ of the straight Republicans of the State, but during the Blaine and Cleveland campaign it fell into the hands of mugwumps. Recently it has become the organ of the free-trade Republicans of New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3.—At the office of the New York Times it was said that it was not the paper which Mr. Hearst had bought. There were denials also at the offices of several newspapers which have been said to be for sale. At the Morning Journal office it was not known whether or not Mr. Hearst had bought that journal. Mr. Hearst is in town. . Injured by a Bicyclist. George Delany, 911 Folsom street, while step- ping from a cable-car at Market and Fifth streets last night, was run over by a bicyclist.

San_ Francisco Bonifaces Preparing to Receive Their Eastern Brothers. The members of the San Francisco Hotel Association met Wednesday evening to prepare to arrange for a fitting reception here of the delegates to the convention of the National Hotel Association to be held in Los Angeles next year. John C. Kirkpatrick, the manager of the Palace Hotel, presided over the meeting, which was held in the private office of that house. It was decided to appoint a com- mittee to meet the delegates after the ad- journment of the convention at Los An- zeles next May and to give them a fitting rec'eiuon in_ this City.

The Fugitive to Be Shot on Sight if He Ever Sets Foot In the Republic. Ezeta and his contemplated raid on the Salvadoran republic have raised quite a disturbance in the Central American re- publics. Honduras, Guatemala and .Costa Rica are all vigorously protesting that they have no intention of assisting the ex-gen- eral; and the Presidents of the different commonwealths say that they will assist the Government of San Salvador on every occasion. The steamer Celia arrived from EI Tri- umfo, San ‘Salvador, yesterday and brought the foregoing news. Captain Johnson says the people of San Salvador are waiting with open arms for General Ezeta. “The arms are loaded, however,” said Captain Johnson with a laugh. In talking about San Salvador Captain Johnson said: “El Triumfo is going to be the capital and seaport of the Central American republics. They are makinga splendaid harbor out of it and in a few months you will find all the Panama steamers stopping there. They are build- ing a great bridge to span the river and an enormous steel pier alongside of which all ocean-going steamers can lie. El Triumfo is going to be a great addition to San Sal- vador. *They will have none of Ezeta in San Salvador, Soldiers are patrolling the beach at all the seaports, and if any of the fugi- | tive’s foilowers land they will be shot. Bustamente was not boiled in_oil, but he was marched out and shot. He met his death like a soldier, and asked asa last favor that he be not blindfolded. The re- | quest was granted, and he looked into the muzzles of the guns that caused his death. ‘“‘While we were at La Union there was a conference between the Presidents of Honduras, Nicaragua and San Salvador. President Gutierrez was there, and twenty- five of his generals attended him. What the result of the talk was [ do not know, but everybody seemed satified. One thing is sure, Ezeta will have a hard time of 1t when he lands in S8an Salvador.” From later accounts, as published in TrE CALL, Ezeta’s destination is not San Salvador, but Cuba.

WITNESSES ARE SUBPENAED. Interesting Evidence May Be Ex- pected—Members Talk Freely of Impeachment. The Grand Jury will to-day begin a thorough examination of Street Superin- tendent Ashworth’s methods. Last evening a flood of subpenas was sent out from that body addressed to em- ployes of the Street Department and others having the desired information. To every one of these some very perti- nent questions will be put, and upon their answers will depend the action of the Grand Jury which may or may not carry Mr. Ashworth into court. ‘Warnings the Street Superintendent has received in numbers sufficient to have served most mep, but they seem to have had no effect in Mr. Ashworth’s case. Yesterday the Grand Jury took it upon itself to go and see for itself a sample of the work of which so much complaint has been made. In company with the mem- bers of the Street Committee of the Board of Superyisors they went to Twelfth street, where a bituminous-rock pavement is be ing laid—as they found—upon a concrete foundation that is hardly fit to be rated as macadam. Members_of the jury were considerably enlightened as to how the streets of San Francisco are built under the present ad- ministration. A surface thatshould, under the specifications, be of the consistency of solid rock they found no difficulty in turning up with the toe of a shoe. Standing idly by, watching this fraudu- lent pavement being laid, was one of the Street Superintendent’s deputies. The comments of many of the jurors were outspoken and to the point. They said it was frand and an outrage upon the City, and nothing less, and the word “‘im- peachment” was used by more than one of them. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors also, as stated, inspected this piece of work. They were advised of its character by George W. Elder, Chairman Spreckels’ expert. The majority of the members of the committee have hitherto been disposed to be lenient with Ashworth and let his ex- cuses and explanations weigh againsta great deal of evidence against him and his work. But here there was no possibility of error, and they agreed with the mem- bers of the jury that this was a fraud upon the City that was being countenanced by the Street Departmentin the person of one of the Superintendent’s deputies, who was then present looking on. Indeed, when Elder began to turn up the surface of the concrete with his boot to show the committee how easy it could be done, the deputy was inclined to interfere. This demonstration on Twelfth street festerday is merely corroborative of a long ine of similar evidence that the Street De- partment is not being conducted as the people have a right to expect it to be con- ducted. This does not apply solely to the char- acter of the work upon the streets either. In this matter, however, Ashworth has al- ways stoutly maintained that he employs as deputies only men who are entirely trutstworthy, and then does not leave it wholly to them, but himself personally in- spects every piece of street work of magni- tude. That being true he must himself have seen this fraudulent work on Twelfth street, near to his office. But, as stated, the inquiry of the Grand Jury will touch upon other features of the workings oi the department. The purpose is not merely to find ma- terial with which to score the department in the semi-annual report after the ad- journment, but to take such steps as will put an effectual stop upon the acceptance of poor and fraudulent street work by the department, the business of which is to see that the City get value for its money. STABBED WITH A PITOHFORK. Nick Hall Attempted to Murder J. C. McWilliams Last Night. A murder with a pitchfork was at- tempted on Fifth avenue, opposite the racetrack, about 9 o’clock last night, and but for the presence of a third party it would have been a repetition of the horri- bie deed for which Jockey Ward is now serving a life sentence. J. C. McWilliams is the trainer for the horse Jefferson, which ran in a race on Wednesday and did not get a place. Nick Hall, a well-known racing man, backed Jefferson heavily and felt sore over his losses. He blamed McWilliams last night for fixing it with Jefferson’s jockey to pull the horse and keep him from taking a place. McWilliams left him and crossed over to the barber-shop. He stood in front of the shop talking to Jockey Madison when Hall appsoacned them with a pitchfork in his hand. ‘When Hall was within five or six yards of him McWilliams stepped back. ~Just then Hall jabbed him with the pitchfork, felling him to the ground. As he fell he drew a revolver and fired three shots at Hall, but each of them missed him. Hall, with an oath, placed his foot on McWilliams’ throat and struck tull at his face with the prongs of the fork. McWil- liams was able to move his head a little cheek, inflicting four slight wounds. Hall raised the pitchfork to strike the prostrate man again in the face with the prongs, when Madison grabbed hold of him, and after a brief struggle wrenched the pitch- fork out of his hands. When the police arrived Hall had dis- appeared, so they took McWilliams to the Receiving Hospital. The police are searching for Hall, and when arrested he will be charged with as- sault to murder. ————— No Proof of Perjury.

A MILLSTONE 0¥ HIS NECK. How He Got Rid of It. Mr. 8.’s occupation was such that he felt the occasional need of a stimulant. He never intended to take more than one drink—but he generally did. On rare oc- casions he actually got full. Though it never seriously interfered w.ith his business, he fel: that it was reducing bis health and success. He made frequent resolutions and broke them. ‘He was slowly going down hill. 5 Then he found Peruvian Bitters—and he is now rapidly going up. Pemvin‘n Bitters are composed of the world famous Peruvian Bark .and other medicinal herbs of great value blended in fine old California brandy. The invigorat- ing and tonic effect of the Peruvian Bark co-operates with the stimulating effect of the brandy, but neutralizes its tendency to produce an appetite for more. Peruvian Bitters satisfy the desire of a stimuiant— quench the fire instead of aading fuel. After taking this palatable and highly in- vigorating drin for a while the desire’ for alcoholic stimulants is gone; the appetite and digestion are in normal condition; the ystem is toned up and every function at its best. You continue to take Peruvian Bitters, not from habit but because you feel it does you continuous good, fortifies you against colds, malaria and disease germs of every description and makes you as far as possible a perfect physical being.
