Meeting of the Young Men’s Republican Social Club Last Night. The Young Men’s Republican and Social Club met last evening at 2028 Golden Gate avenue. The meeting was called to order by Frank K. Spencer, president of the club. The attendance was so large that the rooms heretofore occupied by the club were totally inadequate to accommodate the mempership. On motion the directory of the club was empowered to secure a suitable; hall for the club in a central location and to report back in time for the next monthly meeting of the club. The report of the finance committee showed a working balance in the treasury after the bills for rent and printing for the current month had been paid. The ciub started more than two months ago with a membership of over 600. To this number over 100 have since been added. The_ recruiting officers of the club re- orted encouraging progress all along the ine: ‘Any younE i sonblican Mesiitns to join the club may do so by sending his name to the president or to Ellery D. Montrose, secretary, at 2028 Golden Gate avenue. X DEATH OF J H, ROSEWALD, HEART FAILURE CARRIES OFF A ‘WELL-KNOWN MUSICAL CONDUCTOR. ‘Was A NoTep ORCHESTRA LEADER BoTH IN EUROPE AND AMERICA. Professor Jacob H. Rosewald, ex-School = Director and musician, died vesterday morning between 4 and 5 o’clock at his residence, Y22 Geary street, of heart fail- ure. He first became ili at8 o'clock the evening before, but partially recovered, to | sink back into unconsciousness, and finally death came seven hours later. Professor Rosewald was born in Balti- mo; May 24, 1541, the only son of Judah Rosewald. From childhood he displayed a passionate love for music, and was per- mitted to indulge his natural inclination. He received his early musical training in the United States, and afterward studied at Stuttgart under Professor Edmund Sanger. For seven years he was superin- tendent of musicin the public schools of Baltimore and concert-master of the Pea- body orchestra. He also ably filled the position of director of the oldest singing society in Baltimore—the Liederkranz. Subsequently he was' concert-master and conductor of opera in Mayence, and later on he traveled in the capacity of musical director of several of the great singers, one of whom was Emma Abbott and her opera company, with whom he remained for three years. The delicate state of his health im- pelled him to settle in San Francisco, where he lived since 1884, Here he was constantly employed giving instruction on the violin and in harmony and directing orchestras. With the assistance of Samuel Fabian, | PROFESSOR JACOB H. ROSEWALD. [From a photograph.] down thirty-five passengers, and the own- ers expect that ratio will keep all through | the winter. | Says the Sausalito News: The schooner Harry, of which Piper-Aden- Goodall Company are owners and Captain Nel- son the skipper, came off the ways of Lanteri’s shipyard a short time since. In an interview with Captain Goodall of the above-named firm a News representative was informed that the captain has been urging upon his firm the advisability of ordering all work on their vessels done on the Sausalito ways. The main objection to a standing contract of | this kind lies n the tact that the ways, as at | present constituted, are too narrow for some of the vessels. Captain Fred Smith of the Solano, a veteran captain in connection with Piper-Aden-Good- all Compeny, was in Sausalito with the inten- tion of bringing the Solano to our shores for the usual repairs, but the width of the ways | was not suflicient to enable him to dock his vessel at this place. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer San Jose arrived from Panama and way ports yesterdays She brought up a dozen pas- sengers in the cabin and twenty-six in the steerage. The news from Central America was very meager. The wharfat Acapuico was very much damaged during the storm and a new one will have to be built. Gen- eral Ezeta and his private secretary were still in the town, and when the threatened descent on San Salvador was to take place no one seemed to know and nobody cared. The United States steamer General Mc- Dowell and the California Navigation and Improvement Company’s steamer Leader were nearly in collision yesterday after- noon. The Leader was backing out on her way to Stockton ana the McDoweil was returning from a trip to Alcatraz. They both met off Washington-street wharf, and to avoid a collision Captain Stoflin had to run the McDowell into Clay-street wharf. The wharf was the only sufferer, and that only to the extent of a few planks. A Swedish Subject in Trouble. Andrew Anderson swore to s complaint yesteraay charging C. Stillson, a Swede of recent arrival in this City, with obtaining money under false preteuses. According to Professor Rosewald instituted a series of historical concerts, he giving the explana- tory lectures on the lives and works of great musicians. He succeeded Mr. Scheel as director of the Philharmonic Society and conducted a rehearsal last Monday evening. - He was a member of the Bohemian Club and met a number of his friends at the clubrooms for the last time Thursday evening. For two years he was an active member of the Board of Education in this City. During his life Professor Rosewald was governed by the bLighest principles. He was endowed with rare musical talent and was a man of keen intelligence. He leaves a widow, Mme. Julia Rosewald, also an able teacher of music, and two' sisters— Mrs. Isaac Hecbt of this City and Mrs. Joseph Friedenwald of Baltimore. No definite arrangements have been made for the funeral, but it will in all probability take place Sunday morning. —————— A Vote of Thanks. The management of the International Association of District Nurses has passed a vote of thanks to the Mysell-Rollins Co. and the Wheeler Publishing Co. for their liberal arrangements in furnishing the beautifu! souvenir programmes for the en- tertainment last evening and for to-day’s matinee at the California Theater. The programmes for “As You Like It at Sutro Heights, issued from the press of the Mysell-Rollins Co. by the Wheeler Publishing Co., were handsome in appear- ance and Eesign. but those furnished last evening were commended on all sides as superior to any seen in the City for a long time past. e — The Referee’s Price Ralsed. . In the suit of Vincent P. Buckley against Isabella Boyd, involving a large amount of property, George C.Ludington was appointed to sell some real estate. He fixed the price at $19,000, but yesterday Arthur F. Bridge ap- peared in Judge Seawell’s court and made an offer of $21,450 for the property, filing @ cer- tified check for that amount with the clerk of the court, | ertson was drunk and on the first mate de- TWO LIVES SACRIFICED, A TALE OF THE SEA THAT RIVALS CLARK RUSSELL'S BEST PRODUCTION, THE MATE WASHED OVERBOARD CAPTAIN ROBERTSON COMMITTED Suicipe WITH CaRBoLIic Acrp. The British ship Aberfoyle arrived in port last night a‘ter one of the most re- markable voyages on record. The Aberfoyle sailed from Fredericks- stad, Norway, for Australia January 25 last. Captain George Robertson was in command, but as it was impossible to secure men with certificates he was obliged to venture out with only one licensed offi- cer. This was Perzy Norton, who was shipped as first mate. For a few days all went well, but soon the crew became un- ruly and at one time it looked as though there would be a mutiny. Capta‘n Rob- velved all the responsibility, He mastered the men and came to an understanding with them. The sailors got the best of the bargain, but he could do nothing. He was between the devil and the deepsea. There called the attention of the Grand Jury to the peculiar mafiner in which the Sunny- side franchise was granted to the Market- street Railway Company was denied. President Dohrmann called the attention of the board tothe excessive manner in which'the fences of the leading streets of the City are at present pusted with large and, in_some cases, objectionable bills. A resolution was adopted by the board ex- pressing disapproval of this display of ad- vertising on fences and particularly those of an objectionable nature. The matter was referred to the committee on trades and finance for further investization of the subject. Directors Baldwin, Doane and Kohlberg and the president were appointed to_call upon General Manager Vining of the Mar- ket-street Railway Company with a view of securing proper trausfers throughout the City. ON CITY LIFE. Second of u Course of Lectures by Pro- fessor Moses at South Park Settloment. Professor Bernard Moses of the State University delivered the second of a course of free lectures on ‘““City Life and Labor’” at the residence of the South Park Settle- raent last evening. He described the various phases and steps of civilization, showing that the first in the process of development is the noma- dic; nextin the scale that by which sus- tenance is obtained through hunting and fishing; afterward the pastora] or cattle- raising era in development, which, by its nature, tends to social inequality; then tilling the soil, which occupation, if not interfered with by governmental powers, promoted vality, and finally manu- facturing and trade, which are the condi- tions which foster city life. The city represented the latest and most THE UNFURTUNATE BRITISH SHIP ABERFOYLE. was a drunken captain in the cabin anda mutinous crew forward. 1 Whien the ship was a fortnight out a hur- | ricane came up und all hands were called | to take in sail. Before this could be done many of them were blown away and every- thing movable on deck was washed away. The storm continued and Norton was on deck night and day, while the skipper drank wlisky by the tumblerful and cursed everybody from the poopdeck. On | the evening of the 14th of February the hurricane raged again, and while attempt- ing to help one of the men who was hold- ing on to a stanchion Mate Norton was swept away and drowned. The crew was simply paralyzed by the disaster, and when they came to their senses it was too late to attempt to save Norton. Left without an officer the men kept on the course laid down for them, and | when Captain Robertson came on deck partially sober they got him to take an ob- servation. The loss of the mate sobered the skipper and he attempted to fix up his log. He wanted the crew to swear to it and they refused. From February to May he never touched liquor, but then the craving be- came too great and he broke out again. On this occasion there was some excuse | for him, as he had been constantly on the rack for nearly three months. H@ had to keep all the watches and be ready to answer a call at a moment’s notice. On May 2, while drunk, he assaulted the crew and drove them into the forecastle at the point of a pistol. An hour later the men rallied and catching the captain un- awares disarmed and locked him up in his cabin. The unfortunate man drank and drank until he was crazy and then took a dose of carbolic acid, When the boatswain went lo awaken him the next morning he discovered the dead body. The Aberfoyle was thus left without a navigator. and ail the men knew was that they were somewhere off the coast of Aus- traiia. They wouid keep the ship on her course all day and at night woutd take in sail. On May 16, when they thought they were €00 miles off shore, they discovered that they were within a short distance of the coast. The Australian coaster Taglia- ferro noticed their signals of distress and sent the second officer on board to assist them. The ship was taken to Melbourne, where her cargo was discharged. From there she was taken to Newcastle, N. 8.W., wiere she loaded coal for Sau Francisco. The Aberfoyle was built at Dumbarton in 1861, and before this unfortunate voyage had been one of the luckiest ships in the Cowper line. She is 258 feet 8 inches long, 38 feet 1 inch broad and 22 feet 7 inches deep. Captain Wallace, who is in com- mand, took charge of her in Newcastle. He brings his vessel into port in splendid condition, and in spite of the long run of seventy-five days has beaten the East African, which started before him, into port. WAR ON THE POSTERS. Important Subjects and Reforms Dis- cussed by the Merchants’ Associatlon. A special meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Merchants’ Association was held on Thursday evening and several important snbjects were discussed. Chief Engineer Sullivan of the Fire Department addressed the board upon the present con- dition of the Fire Department of this City and the urgent necessity for more hydrants and larger mains. He alsosubmitted data showing the numper of hydrants and other particulars existing in the fire departments of the large cities of the United States. Consulting Engineer McCullough read his special report upon the paving exhibit at the recent Mechanics’ Exposition. It treated of the various exhibits that were then made and the advantages that would be derived from a full information of the subject of paving the streets with the best substances obtainable in this State. This report will be further considered at the quarterly meeting of the association to be held next month. Some time ago the secretary, J. Richard Freud, was instructed to prepare a synop- sis of the important features of the pro- posed new City charter. Hesubmitted his work for the consideration of the directors. fter discussion on the main provisions embodied in the charter, especially regard- ing officials who will be appointed and elected under its provisions, it was de- cided to have 3000 printed copies of this synopsis published and distributed among the members of the.association, as well as the leading citizens and taxpayers of the City. It is very probable that before the election, November, 1896, a larger edition of this synopsis will be published and distributed generally among the citi- zens of San Fraucisco. It was decided that at the next meeting the future work of the association will be discussed. 2 The statement published ina morning comylicated stage of political economic development, and the tendency of the city by reason of its concentration of capital produced a strong drift toward inequality. In answer to a question he said he be- lieved the altruistic sentiment to be stronger than ever before in the history of the world. Professor Moses will lecture at the South Park Settlement eyery Friduy evening on political economic themes. Referring to a recent statement in a morning paper that the Settlement Asso- ciation is practically at an end, V. L. O‘Brien, one of the members, said that statement was a tissue of misrepresenta- tions and misstatements. Several of the resident members were l‘lul'im%l the summer vacation. This fact was the sole basis for the story. Mr. O’Brien said there had been no falling off in membership; that the sessions of the Girls’ Ciub, Boys' Club, Little Helpers and mothers’ meetings continued to be held regularly, and that the interest was unabated, A SAD CASE. Mother and Father in a Drunken Stupor ‘While Five Little Children Cry for Bread. A horrible case of moral depravity de- veloped last night in the arrest of A. J. Konkle and his wife Nina, who were booked at the Central police station on plain “‘drunk” charges. Konkle is a brick- layer by trade, and when he was paid off yesterday he and his wife proceeded to | celebrate the occasion by filling up on steam beer. Konkle lives at 164 Clara street, and when Officers Lynch and Cassin passed by the place last night their ears caught the sound of loud talking, in which profanity was the predominating element. An in- vestigation revealed Mrs. Konkle lying on a rough couch, trembling and dirty, in what appeared t6 be a drunken stupor, while the husband was walking the floor, uttering at each step the most foul oaths imaginable. On the floor were four dirty. ragged, half-starved children, while in a cradle near by was a little 18-months-old baby girl, sleeping peacefully, though its pinched drawn face gave substantial evi- dence of tack of proper nourishment. ‘With considerable difficulty the mother was awakened, when the entire lot was brought to the Central station. The neigh- bors say that Konkle and his wife wers constant drinkers, and that it is a common occurrence for the children to go hungry. Mrs. Konkle had a_ severe cut on the left hand, which she claims to have inflicted herself while attempting to split some kindling-wood. Her wounds were dressed at the Receiving Hospital. The children will probably be cared for by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. ————— TO MEET HIS SON'S BODY. John W. Mackay’s Melancholy Errand to New York City. John W. Mackay left this City last even- ing upon a melancholy errand. He started East to New York to meet the remains of his son, J. W. Mackay Jr., who died in Paris about a week ago. Mrs. Mackay and the second son, Clarence, will come over on the same boat with the body, and it is probable that the whole lamil{ will come with it to this City, where it will be buried. The funeral services were held in Paris last Tuesday and at once the body was laced on the steamer to come as far as ew York at least, for it has not yet been definiwl¥ decided where the grave will be; that will only be settled when Mr. and Mrs. Mackay meet in nNew York. It is pretty certain, however, that the body of the young man will find its final resting- vlace here, for it was in this City that young Mackay was born, and he expressed a wish to be buried here when he died.

G. Sresovich & Co. In the consigument were 4800 packages of apples or 960,000 nc?ples all neatly wiapped in tissue paper. Cargoes were ship; to China, Mexico and Australia.

THIS WOMAN'S CLUB WILL OPEN DOWNTOWN QUARTERS OF ITs OWN. CLUBROOMS ON PINE STREET. PLANS FOR A NEW AND ENLARGED CAREER OF CULTURE AMID SoclaL PLEASURE. The Sorosis Club is about to bloom forth in such rich and simple beauty as the Vic- toria Regina, for instance, unfolds when it bursts into the fullness of its destined per- fection. Sorosis has been only budding since it was first heard of here—just a little over a year ago. This ultra-fashionable, ultra- cultured club has since its organization gone very, very quietly on its refined and aspiring way, holding its social, business and intellectual gatherings at the resi- dences of members whose parlors and hos- pitality have been offered to the members, and two or three times stepping more prominently and with becoming grace and dignity into public view. A notable re- ception at the Palace was one of these events, and William Greer Harrison’s piay was given to the world under the auspices of this club. But now the Sorosis Clnb is abo ut to enlarge the scope of its existence and be- come a more prominent figure in the local social, intellectual and esthetic sphere of | womankind. For one thing, it proposes to open a per- manent home right downtown. No club is complete without clubrooms, and clab- rooms the Sorosis ladies will soon have. It wiil probably go right into Pine street, too. The place that is now in view is part of the old Bohemian Club quarters, so long ana famously haunted by the owl. It’s in that light, roomy and much-bay- windowed second-story over the California Market and the big grocery that the So- rosis Club bas ail but decided to take up its abode. It is surely an appropriate place, one whose past must give it grace and charm. During the years before the fire the wits, the artis nd the singing ones of the Bohemian Club, the jolly spir- |its of the Press Club and the patrons and painters of the School of Design, made that spreading upper story the central home of the organized culture of the City. Through many years tue wealth and fashion of the town climbed that broad stairway every now and then and passed through brilliantly lighted bowers of palms and flowers to gatherings that were great successes in the name of literature or art. When the fire came and when a large part of the rebuift uoper story became a storage place for hams »nd Zinfandel, it seemed for a time that the famous old loafing place of the muses was wholly given over to the Philistines. But when half of the long upper story was fixed up for renting | a few weeks ago it was no time before art claimed all of its own thati:could get back. The bigold classroom of the School | of Design became with other rooms a School of Magazine and Newspaper Illus- tration. A sculptor moved in and then William Keith, the landscape painter, left his Kearny-street garret, took four big front rooms and blazed forth in a magnifi- cent studio and a private art gallery. It is one of these rooms that Keith rented that the Sorosis Club is apt to take within a few days. The room in question is_of magnificent size, with immense bay: windows opening on Pine street. It con- nects by large folding-doors with the rest of Keith's rooms, and when receptions at- tended by many guests are held the use of Keith's rooms, finely furnished and full of iis choicest paintings, may be at the dis- posal of the club, giving it quarters un- equaled in the City for the purpose. The idea is to furnish this room hand- somely, supply it with reading matter, and otherwise make it an atiractive and convenient woman’s club. It will be a convenient place for members to meet downtown and an attractive resting-place for them to drop in at when shopping downtown. Meetings and receptions will be held there instead of at private resi- dences. But the Sorosis Club has other large plans for immediate growth, and they con- tain a promise that the organization will become quite notable among the women's clubs of the country. The presidentof this club, Mrs. Irving M. Scott, has a keen in- terest inl seeing it develop its highest ossibilities, as have other well-known K\dlcs who are zealously fostering the young organization. The aims of the Sorosis are much like | its older contemporary, the Century Club, and the famous Sorosis Club of New York is the model followed. The purpose of the club is broadly expressed in its de- scription as ‘“‘an association of women in- terested in literature, art, science and philanthropy,” who are brought together | with a view of rendering them helpful to each other and useful to society. Now Mrs. Scott and the ladies actively interested with her want to establish classes for members, develop the work of committees on art, education, science, drama, etc., and oceasionally honor with receptions noted people who visit the City and who are worthy of the attentions of the club. “‘Every woman has a talent in some direc- tion, and we want to bring out and de- velop the talents of our members whatever they may be.” said Mrs. Scott yesterday, while modestly answering a few inquiries about the or.anization. “I have acquired a deep personal interest In every member of the club, and with cther ladies in it, I would like to see the club made of as much benefit to every one of the ninety members as possible. We have just completed our first year, and our plans for the- coming “year are yet a little indefinite, but I think the ladies will all approve the idea of having a convenient clubhouse where they can mees for every purpose and a place suitable for our receptions. We will prob- ably have classes, and they will be in whatever is most desired by the members. There will probably be literary classes, and some may want to do work in china paint- ing, etching and so on. The lives of a nia- jority of women are very much narrowed, and there are so many ways in which they can properly be expanded with profit to themselvesand those about them. That may especially be the case with married women whose children have grown up and gone to homes of their own.” The question about the Pine-street quar- ters will be definitely settied in a day or two. Whether or ‘not that locati is finally selected, the Sorosis Club p: ses to take a place to the front and enter on a new and enlarged career. ‘Work of Associated Charities. The registrar of the Associated Charities makes the following report for the week ending yesterday: New cases 10, recurrent cases 22; total, 32.
