It is a charity in which_the left hand nows not what the right hand doeth. Itsben- factions are not limited to its members, Probably among the hundreds who have been benefited, not one 1n twenty ever paid a cent into its treasury. It is atthe present time caring for many hope- less invalids in hospitals and humble homes. There are paralytics and incurables, some of whom have been tenderly eared for for more than ten years. Having served three consecu- tive terms as a trustee and closely observed its methods, I do not hesitate to pronounce the Actors’ Fund of America as among the broad- | est, most catholic, most sensitive and most re- sponsive of all the great relief organizations in the Christian world. Among its beneficiaries are men and women whose names and whose triumphs have filled one, possibly two, conti- nents. To-day they are destitute, friendless, forgotten, save by the Actors’ Fund. SPRECKELS’ PURCHASE. Last Impediment to the Success of the New Racetrack Removea. The last piece of land that was necessary to secure a full right of way to the new racetrack has been secured by Adolph Spreckels, president of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, and work upon the new rail- road which is to run out to it will be com- menced at once. The piece of land just purchased adjcins the club grounds at Ingleside. It contains twenty-three acres, and cost somewhere The land was owned by i Hughes. He would not give a right of way through the land, but was willing to sell, so to end matters the piece ‘was purchased. A branch line will be run by the South- e Pacific through the new land, and will be put_in readiness for freight traffic at once. With this particular piece of land purchased the road is enabled to run through private property the greater part LOUISA BUCHANAN FOUND. WHEREABOUTS OF THE GIRL W ANTED BY THE TREADWELL CONTESTANTS. |SHE IS A WILLING PRISONER. RESIDING QUIETLY IN A LODGING- House AT 605 PosT STREET. Detective Erwin Frost of San Jose and the police of this City have been searching high and fow for Louisa Buchanan. The | girl is wanted in the sensational suit of James Treaawell’s two guardians, Edward W. Clayton and George Y. Bollinger, each { of whom desires the sole control of the | $400,000 legacy of young Treadwell, who will not be of age for three years yet. The girl has been missing from her home | and from the sight of some of those most | interested in her whereabouts for so long a | time, and her whereabouts has been kept | such a profound secret that talk of foul | play has been freely indulged in, and the | police have been invoked to helpin the | search for her. | The girl’s mother, Mrs. C.

But I have a bad habit of eating regularly, and by the time I reached San Jose I found I would have to break myself of this habit if I stayed with the show businesse. So I quit it, and after staying there a few days went home. Miss Buchanan knew that her mother had gone to Chief Crowley for assistance. The girl was afraid to let her mother know where she was lest the mother should give the information to the police, or comin; to see her should be followed by some of Frost’s detectives. Fred R. Bishop, the ex-Deputy Sheriff, was seen last night and substantiated the girl’s story. He said that the girl wanted to make capital out of Jimmy Treadwell's escapades. % The girl’s mother is Mrs, C. Johnson. Her husband, Louisa’s stepfather, has a saloon at the corner of Sierra and Ten- nessee streets in the Potrero. The outcome of the case on October 21 it is hardly pessible to even puess.

In the meantime Miss Buchanan, who has been spirited from one place to the other, and who is considered of such vital importance by every one, will remain in strictest seclu- siontill the affair is settled. PREPARED TO PLAY BALL, THE NEW CALIFORNIA LEAGUE SEASON OPENS TO-DAY AT CENTRAL PARK. !iives at Sierra and Tennessee streets, in WHAT A “CALL” ARTIST SAW AT THE ACTORS’ FUND BENEFIT, by attempting to encere everything but an | act from “Trilby” and a curtain-raiser. | These were a little too long to ask for | twice, but a compromise was made by | giving the performers applause enough to | keep the curtain rolling merrily up and | down for several minutes. | It was the second act from “Trilby’’ that A.

FRON HEBREW PULPTS, LIFE ON "AN OCEAN STEAMER COMPARED TO THAT OF THE WORLD. ETO’S ADDRESS TO SHERITH AEL ON “JUST AFTER THE THE DAawN.” I The Friday evening lecture season is now in full swing at two of the synagogues in this City. At the Temple Emanu-FEl last night Dr. Voorsanger lectured on the subject, “An Ocean Steamer—A Miniatnre World.” He remarked that comparatively few of his audience had crossed from one continent to the other. The great sensation that one experienced on leaying the harbor is one of humility. There is, too, a sensation of security, which, however, leaves one ona contemplation of the ocean after a day’s passage, and gives way to a feeling of in- security. It has been well and truly said that no matter how pleasant the journey there is always a little sense of uncertainty in the | feeling of not knowing what is going to haopen. A few dayson an ocean steamer is a good incentive to meditation. One has nothing to do—the world has been left far behind. ‘“This sense of having parted with all you hold dear gives an opportunity for you to realize that the ship is like your own life,” said Dr. Voorsanger. “You go on your own journey through life. You take as much care as the architect has taken in building his vessel. You have to plow you way through the ocean of time. You have to prepare yourself for the storm and the hurricane or for anything that the | design of God may send you.’ Dr. Jacob Nieto opened his season of Friday evening leetures at Temple Sherith Israel last night. present and a special programme of music was rendered by a competent choir under the direction of Mrs. H. J. Stewart. Dr. Nieto’s uubject was entitled, “Just After the Dawn.” In the course of his remarks he said : 5 ‘It has been the desire of all men with great minds and the hope of every ambi- tious spirit to be born twenty centuries be- yond lYm period of their existence, thus showing us that their prophetic insight had admonished them that mankind would advance to such a_degree as to real- ize all the dreams of their prophetic souls. “We are now_just past the dawn of a new year, one in which man was studied subjéctively rather than objectively. The sciences which dealt with the element of speculation have gone out of fashion, and now the scientific minds of the world are dealing with such matters as concern the advancement of mankind in general.”. — - The thieves of Bengal before they go on their ‘‘reiief” expeditions pray to their gods and sacrifice to them.

It was Frost himself who told Mrs. Johnson_this, but the facts, as related by the missing girl, do not bear out this state- ment. Miss Buchanan is safe and sound in this City. She is not being restrained | of her liberty. Instead she is hiding from | those who wish to use her as a witness against Mr. Bollinger, she says. She was seen last night in her room at 605 Post street, where she has stopped since she reached town ten days ago. This is a respectable lodging-house, where she has been living with no one to observe her actions. She says she wants to remain hiaden till after October 21, when the petition of Mr. Bollinger to have Mr. Clayton set aside as the guardian of the estate of young Tread- well comes up in the courts at San Jose. “The whole thing is so mixed up that we can hardly find bead or tail of it,”” she explained yesterday. ‘“You see, Jimmy Treadwell had nearly $400,000 left to him, Now Mr. Clayton is the guardian of the estate, and Mr. Bollinger is guardian of the boy’s person. 1i either of them could et control of the whole business, he'd have a snap. And that’s what each one of them is trying to do.” She gave her ideus as to the grounds taken by the contesting guardians. Mr. Bollinger, she said, had promised young Treadwell all the money he wanted in case he should become sole guardian. This made the heir Bollinger’s supporter, and at the latter’s suzgestion Treadwell peti- tioned the courtto remove Clayton from | the guardianship and give Bollinger sole | control. Clayton, of course, objected to | this. He filed an answer declaring that Bollinger was not a proper person to be the boy’s guardian because Bollinger was too careless of his own and his ward’s man- ner of living. S “And that's why I've had so many { troubles,”” said Miss Buchanan, “It's why £0 many people have been anxious to have me come and live with them, too. You see, Claytor wants to get me on the stand, and have me tell about myself and Jimmy ‘Treadwell. Then Mr. Bollinger wants to use me against Mr. Clayton. ‘“Everybody has tried to make use of me | till 'm’ tired. They all want some of Jimmy’s money. But I am going home and I am not going to have any more law- | suits in mine. If fhm‘e to g0 on the stand | I would have to tell all about what ha, pened with Jimmy and me, and I g oal | zain nothing for it. Now, if I can stay | quiet till Bollinger's case is decided I can | go home and tell my mother the stories | were a pack of liesand blackmail and she’ll believe me and everythine will be all right.” The girl is very” much in earnest. She protests that she wants no lawsuits and would not have the damage suitagainst gl'r‘ea(_ltwell had she not been frightened nto it. Miss Buchanan is a slight girl with blonde hair and a rather pretty face. She has a vivacious manuer, thnuih her lan- guage at times is marred slightly by the introduction of terms indigenous to the | Chimmie Fadden vocabulary. Though she has been 18 only three weeks she has had a most remarkable_ series of expe- riences, and has crowded enough adven- tures and misadventures into the last six months to eupply incidents even for a story in-the “Chambermaids’ Own.” She tells of them with a naive candor and ingenuousness that carry conviction. “My troubles all came from San Jose,” she says. “I went there first in the chorus How THE SaN FRANCISCO anp Los AngeLEs TEAMS WiLL Line Up, To-day the baseball enthusiasts of San Francisco will see their first game of genuine professional baseball since the California League gave up the ghost two years ago, and from the talk about the resorts where the devotees of the game are wont to con- gregate, Central Park will be filled with an old-time audience when Umpire McDonald calls “time’” for the San Francisco and Los Angeles teams to begin play. Already the managers of the teams which make up the new California League have been ‘“‘sizing up” each other’s nines and signing new men to strengthen aweak spot here and there, and the indications are for a red-hot series for the champjon- ship of the cost. The schedule is a matter which has both- ered the managers much, for the mistakes of the old league must be avoided, and the “fanatics’” of the four towns where con- tests are to be held—San Francisco, San Jose, Oaklund and Los Angeles—given their full quota of games.

SHE KEPT A SMALL HAND-MIRROR HID UNDER THE PARROT’S CAGE. CALLED RODGERS A “GOPHER. MR. FooTE OFFERED His SERVICES FREE To REMOVE JUDGE LAwWTON, “Dr. Merritt was one of the largest men I ever saw out of a menagerie,” said Wit- ness W. W. Foote, who is himself not a small man. This was in answer to Attorney Moore’s question as to whether the late brother of the late Mrs, Garcelon was of a forgiving disposition, and the response was one of the very few things that broke the dull monotony of the proceedings in the Garce- lon will contest vesterday in the United States Circuit Court. Mr., Foote had been called as a witness for the defense; that is to say, for the Merritt nephews, who are trying to break the Bowdoin College and Oakland Hospi- tal trusts. Mr. Foote wore his summer suit and cork-soled, rubber-heeled winter shoes. Otherwise he was the same genial and obliging witness as when previously sworn in the case. ‘What led up to this bit of personal description was Attorney Moore’s ques- | were too cheap to be good. On Mis. Garcelon sent to New York for two India shawls, one of which cost $200 and the other $500. ‘‘She gave you one of those shawls, didn’t she 2’ asked the cross-examiner. “‘She did.” Mrs. Purinton then told about the little hand-mirror Mrs. Garcelon used to keep under the parrot cage and used to fix her hair and dress when no one was listening. Mrs. Garcelon was childish and used to re- eat three stock anecdotes about her child- 100d days. She had three bottles of medi- cine—one for headache, one for fever and one for indigestion. The bottles were of varying sizes, but she nevertheiess used ‘;tb_e wrong bottle at the wrong time and | mixed her medicines to such an extent i that Mrs. Purinton had toadminister them to her. Stephen Purrington was overbearing in his manner. Once he scolded because there were two turkeys on the table. He said that was extravagance. At another time he growled because no one eat the beefsteak that was on the table for supper. He said it was foolishness to buy beefsteak for Chinamen to eat. The income from the estate was at this time between $30,000 and §$40,000 & month. | Once Mrs. Garcelon asked Stephen for | $200. He retorted angrily that it was like | guur‘mg it down a rathole to try to supply | her with money. Captain Purinton told of a conversation he had with Stephen on the ferry-boat, in which Stephen remarked that he hadn’t slept all night because he had been com- pelled to give Judge Stanly $25,000 in set- tlement. “Why couldn’t he sleep?”’ asked Phil- brook. “Because Stanly had robbed the old woman, he said,” replied the captain. And Stephen further told the captain, “You are not in the trust, bnt Stanly is. He has worked the old woman.” “How did Mrs, Garcelen speak of Henry Rodgers?”’ asked Mr. Philbrook. “She always referred to him as ‘that gopher,’ because, as she said, he was al- ways working underground.” ‘W. M. Biown, a cousin of Dr. Merritt, CAPTAIN [Sketehed yesterday PURINTON. by a ¢ Call” artist.] tions concerning Mrs. Garcelon’s dislike for Henry Rodgers. Mr. Foote and the old lady had discussed Rodgers. She told him that it was most singular the doctor had not changed his will after his disagree- ment with Rodgers. Mr. Foote suggested that the doctor might have done so and that thev had betier look around for an- other will. Mr. Foote also discussed Stephen W. Purrington with Mrs. Garcelon. She says the boys had been treated unjustly by Dr. Merritt’s will and that Purrington had worked against the boys. “Purrington or Rodgers?’ interjected Mr. Hayne. : “‘Both; but on this occasion we were re- ferring particularly to Purrington. Later on she said Rodgers had tried to arive the boys to some foreign land.” Then Mr. Foote told about his dealings with Judge Stanly and Judge Lawton while he was endeavoring to effect a com- promise between Mrs. Garcelon, the Mer- ritt estate and the Merritt nephews. Once the three great legal lights met at the Lick House to this end, but the purpose was balked by Judge Lawton refusing to sign the paper presented by Judge Stanly. The latter began to swear then and say some_ ‘“pretty tough things,’’ and it was “ietting tolerably hot,”” said Mr. Foote. Three or four days later Mr. Foote called upon Mrs, Garcelon and then Judge Law- ton was discussed. She asked Foote's ad- vice about the propriety of having Judge Lawton removed from the trust on the score of drunkenness and incompetency. She asked him if he would charge a fee for baving Lawton removed. Foote replied that he would do the job for nothing. Mr. Foote said he was anxious to have the settlement made, so that he could get his money out of it. “You didn’t know, then, that she was willing to give three times that amount, did _you?” interjected Mr. Hayne, who could not resist the seeming opportunity for scoring a point. S But Mr. Foote was not asleep. “No, I did not,” he replied, “but I have since learned a great many things, Mr. Hayne, which I am willing fo relate at your con- venience.” 5 But Mr. Hayne did not press the point, agd when it came his turn to cross-exam- ine he asked but one question, whether the boys understood the terms of the compro- mise. They must have understood every word of it perfectly, Mr. Foote said. This was not, it seems, in reference to the original terms of compromise. That had been for $300,000 in tied-up property and cash enough to pay Mr. Foote’s fees and ad- vances to the nephews. Mr. Foote was on the point of accepting it. He had gone to Sissons and-secured the assent of the boys and their power of attorney. On his way back he thought the matter over and con- cluded that $300,000 was not enough for Fred and Jim Merritt. He told Judge Stanly so. The latier threatened to go to Oakland and fix matters so the boys would not get a cent. “You fix it and I'll bust it,” retorted Foote. Then he went back to his office and Judgs Stanly started for Oakland. Before he reached his office Mr. Foote began to doubt his powers of “busting’’ whatever arrangement was made concern- ing the bogs, so he telegraphed to Mrs. Garcelon to do nothing till she had seen him. But Judge-Stanly got there first and had already fixed things, so that in the e‘,sd the boys had to get along on $125,000, leSs the 20 per cent due Mr. Foote. Mrs. Mary K. Purinton and her husband, Captain Frank W. Purinton, were also wit- nesses for tne defense yesterday. Mrs. Purinton used to go with Mrs. Garcelon to the market in the morning. The latter often told the shopkeepers that their wares told .about Judge Stanly and Henry | Rodgers burning a lot of the papers found in Stephen Purrington’s office while Pur- rington’s dead body was still in the house. The papers they did not burn they took possession of. . Frederick A. Merritt, one of the nephews in the famous case, told about Stephen re- }using him an audience with Mrs. Garce- on. _Jennie C. Lunt, a relative and a benefi- ciary under the terms of the trust, told about Mrs. Garcelon’s feeble condition. ~ Her husband, Stephen P. Lunt, told of a Los Angeles millionaire, Frank Sabichi, who warned him against Judge Stanly. The case goes on Monday morning. Disturbed a Lady’s Peace. August Pou, a teacher of Spanish, was tried before Judge Conlan vesterday for disturbing the peace. He was convieted and will be sen- tenced to-day.
