UNITED I LOVE AND WhR, | | | A Series of Salvation Army ‘ Incidents to End in a 1 Wedding. [ The Beater of the Drum Will i | | | Take the Hand of a i [ Pretty Sister. ! | | OAKLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANcISCO CALL,) | 908 Broadway, Oct. 30. { | A hallelujah wedding is announced to | take place to-morrow evening at the old | People’s Theater. That is the final chap- ter in a pretty little romance. | The parties to be wedded are Miss Emily | Gustaveson and Otto Nunenmacher, a | | well-known Native Son of this city, who | has been a clerk for Rouse & Co. fora | number of years. Otto Nunenmacher is a youn man about 23 years of age, and his peopleare of the Catholic faith, in which he was raised. Six years ago Otto was happy and heart free. One evening with a crowd of young | frie nds he wandered into the Eight-street Salvation Army castle, where a meeting was_in progress. He went in bent on ng some sport, but instead was greatly impressed with the services. Night after night thenceforth found him ! sitting in the back part of the building list- ening attentively tothe choruses and testi- monies of the soldiers, one of whom was Miss Gustaveson, who labored hard to per- suade the young man to bea Christian. Finally her efforts were rewarded, and he took a place on the platform and in the | evening march. His parents heard of | what their son had done and forbade him ssociating with the Salvationists. He ignored their orders and force was at- tempted to prevent him from what they | considered *disgracing the family’’ by marching the streets. Oito was often for- | cibly removed irom the march by his | father, but the very next night found him | in his favorite place. | | _Atlast the Nuennmachers gave uE the | | fight, believing the boy had “got his brain | 1 turned.”” Then he gladly donned the red | urnsey, and ever aiter has beat the bass | drum in sunshine and rain steadily for six | vears, with the exception of three months | of that time. Almostat sight he fell in love with the lady whom he 1is to wed, who for eight years has peen a faithful soldier in the Oakland Corps. ss Gustaveson 1s a very solemn look- person, and reminds one of a demure Quakeress rather than a Salvation Army | lassie. She is not of an emotional nature, and is quite determined in purpose. About three months ago Mr. Nunen- macher had a quarrel with an official in the army and could not reach any amic- able settlement, so the consequence was he backslid into worldliness. It was a great shock to his sweetheart, and no amount of persuasion could bring him | back into the fold. It was predicted that | she would]leave the army rather than give | her lover up, for it was seen that he was part of her life. She disappointed every one by sticking to the army, and severing her association | witn the backslider. | | Martyr-like Miss Gustaveson sat upon the platform and prayed earnestly for her old sweetheart's salvation. When sent out | in the audience to plead with sinners, she | | did not avoid her former lover, but prayed | | and pleaded with him as though he wasa stranger. Her prayers were answered. Soon afterward the young man met with an accident that almost cost him his life. The hand that had so faithfully in years | past beat the drum of the Salvation Army came impregnated with blood poison and was seriously in danger of amputa- tion, and showed no disposition to heal until, it is claimed, the Salvation Army back-slider returned to God.” The result was that he professed repentance, and was reinstated in the army and affec- tions of his sweetheart. Last Sunday night he was once more sworn in as a soldier, and on Thursday he will realize the hope of his heart. T SHELTER CHILDREN Steps Will Be Taken to Establish a Home in This | City. Christmas Contributions to Be Asked From' More Favored Little Ones. The ladies and gentlemen interested in the Children’s Home Society believe that a San Francisco headquarters has become a necessity and yesterday afternoon the | 8nnual meeting of the local advisory | board was held in the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of taking means to secure a | receiving home. Rev. M. M. Gibson of the First United Presbyterian Church presided. Several other pastors were present, as well as a number of lady delegates from the 120 churches in this City which are interested in the Children’s” Home Society. Rev. Uriah Gregory, superintendent for North- ern California, explained the neced of a home where destitute and forlorn children could be sheltered for a few days or weeks | till homes could found for them. He stated | that it was contrary to the rules of the society to place children in orphanages, | where they were not in a position to ac- uire a practical experience of life, but that some sheltering place was necessar: till the homeless children could be adopted. Dr. Gregory drew attention to the fact that a practical way to start a fund would be to try to get a Christmas offering from the churches. Resolutions to that effect were introcuced by Rev. Dr. Rader and unanimously adopted. Dr. Gibson stated that he would place more reliance in an appeal to the young people’s societies of Christian endeavor and to the Sabbath- schools. The resolution was therefore amended and finally adopted as follows: Resolved, That this society ask the pastors and congregations, Sunday-schools and young g!ople'! societies of San Franecisco, Oakland, acramento and the towns in Northern Cali- | fornia to make a Christmas offering to the Children’s Home Society to aid in founding a receiving home in San Francisco or vicinity. Dr. Rader suggested that a statement should be prepared in conjunction with the appeal in order to arouse the interest of the various Christian societies. Dr. Gregory, Dr. Rader and Mrs. Hahn were appointed a committee of three to draw up the statement; they wére also given the privilege of getting others to co-operate With them in widening the work. FOUND HIS DYING SISTER A Toronto Man Reunited to His Family at Fruit- vale. PARTED FOR NINE YEARS. Mother and Sister Had Long Mourned for Him as for One Dead. 0AELAND OFFIcE SAN Fraxcisco CALL,} )8 Broaaway, Oct. \ Among the overland passenger arrivals in Oakland Monday morning was Edward Scarlett of Toronto, Canada, who had been hastily summoned to this city by a letter from his sister, Miss Kitty B. Scarlett, whom he had mourned as dead for scme years. There was no explanation made except the sad news, “The doctors tell me Iam slowly dying & victim of consumption. If you wish to see me before I die come to California immediately.” There was no address given but the gen- eral postoffice of Oakland. This letter to | Edward Scarlett of Toronto. [From a photograph. Mr. Scarlett was like a message from the dead, and the hope of once more seeing his only and muchly beloved sister brought him at once to California. On arriving in this city he thought the directory would reveal his sister's where- abouts. He looked for her address, which | was not to be found; the next thing was to go to the postoffice where no difliculty was anticipated in obtaining it. Here he again met_ disappointment, the clerk in- forming him that the clerks were not al- lowed to give the address of parties whose mail passed through the ofiice. Then arose the thought that nearly a | month had elapsed since her letter was written and that she might have died in the meantime. With this fear uppermost in mind he visited all the undertaking establishments, but no one had been buried within a few weeks by the name of Scarlett. Then the Health Office was visited and death records of the county searched. The gentleman by this time was growing weary and heartsick, when the thought came that being ill his sister naturaily would have the services of a physician. Then came the tedious task of visiting all the leading practitioners in Oakland, with the same result. Some one suggested that being a lone woman possibly she was at the Fabiola Hospital. A telephone message there proved this to be a mistake. Discouraged and almost without hope the despairing man_returned to the postoffice towards evening to find the letter he had written in the morning undelivered. The stranger then told his tale to W. E. Logan, a business man, whom he met on the street. Mr. Logan at once interested himself in the case, visiting the Chief of Police and Mayor Davie, but in vain. As nothing could be learned the story was told to Postmaster White, who was [From a photograph.j convinced that the only clew toward uniting brother and sister was through the postofiice. Mr. White then very kindly came to their aid, and upon questioning the car- riers one remembered some weeks ago there had been trouble over a receipt lost to a registered letter, the property of a Mrs. Scarlett. Further search revealed that the address of Miss Kitty B. Scarlett had been 837 Madi- son street, and lastly at Station D, Twenty- third avenue postoffice. This was the first satisfaction gained, so an electric-car was quickly taken to Twenty-third avenue. At the postoffice in this district a little en- couragement was gained by learning that the lady had formerly received her mail there. Starting_out on this vague clew they searched Fruitvale thoroughly. After a long, cold walk in the fog and darkness at 10 o’clock the Taylor residence was found near Seminary Park. In response to a ring of the doorbell Mr., Scarlett was met at the door by his mother, whom he had mourned as dead for the past seven vears. The meeting between the mother, son and sister was extremely affecting, and the family thus reunited will never again be separated except by death. The Scarlett f.smilg is an English one, closely connected with an aristocratic fam- ily, and are peopie of great wealth in Eng- land. The father of Edwnrd Scarlett was a brother of Sir James Scarlett of Eng- land, and a wealthy and-influential citizen of Toronto, Canada. At 14 years of age Edward Scarlett con- 7 | cluded to see something of the world and left home to seek his fortune. The father | died, believing his eldest son not in the | land of the living. leaving his fortune to | his widow, son John and daughter Kitty. | Some years after Edward returned alive, | settling down in Canada, where he mar- ried and had become a well-to-do citizen. i The health of the remaining son and daughter was not the best, and “it was pre- dicted by physicians that heither would | reach the age of 30. This knowledge was | & sad revelation to the mother, who de- | termined to prevent the calamity, if there was any power on .earth to save them. Southern California was recommended, | and over seven years ago they took up | their abode in Los eles. The son John survived only a few years. Mrs. Scarlett then came to Oakland with her daughter, who five years ago became the happy wife of an Englishman of means, residing at Fruitvale. Mrs. Scar- lett has continued to remain with her daughter, enjoying the companionship of her child, son-in-law and grandson. Through some misunderstanding Mers. carlett received no tidings from her ab sent son in Toronto and was led to believe | he was dead. He in return thought the | same of his family, and letters to their Southern California address failed to reach hem. Mrs. Taylor could not believe her brother dead, but thought he had become estranged as the years went by from his loved ones, | for whom he had never ceased to mourn. Believing that her days on earth were numbered, she determined to once more see her brother, and wrote the message that brought him to Oakland, where he | had the pleasure of finding his dear old | mother and sister alive and happily sit- | nated with the exception of the illnéss of | Mrs. Taylor and her baby. Edward Scarlett will leave Oakland next week for his home in Toronto to settle up his affairs, after which he will return to Oakland to live. His sister's health is slightly improved, and there is now some hope of her recovery. The Taylors are now erecting a handsc home at Fruitvale, f in which the reunited family will live. NEW FERRY I PRLSPELT, Generous Berkeleyans Make Two Offers in Line of Progress. “Josh” Trembling in the Balance. Another Mass-Meeting—Fresh- man Football. BERKELEY, Oct. 30.—At the meet- |ing of the West Berkeley Progressive | Club last night the central topic of dis- cussion was the proposed new wharf. | Several estimates of freight that would be | landed at the wharf and the probable | revenne to be derived from it were pre- | sented. Two prominent capitalists, who desired their names to be withheld from publica- tion for the present, made propositions vesterday which will be of the greatest im- port to the town. One of them stated that as soon as th: wharf was ready he would putona line of ferry-boats which would give half-hour service between Berkeley and San Francisco. The other promised to establish a street- car system to the wharf, extending as far | as San Pablo. Trouble Among the Women. Mrs. Grace O'Brien of Union street swore | out a warrant to-Gay for the arrest of Mrs. McAvoy, her neighbor, on a charge of bat- tery, resulting from a family brawl. | Mrs. O'Brien claims that” Mrs. McAvoy was in the act of beating her children | when she, Mrs. O'Brien, called at the | house, and, upon _interfering, was turned upon and battered with a club. Will See the Committee. { | Business Manager Robbins of Josh will | agnear before the committee on students’ | affairs, consisting of Professors Soule, Ed- | wards and Bacon, to-morrow afternoon to explain why he allowed a certain “ad,” | reflecting on the character of Lieutenant Winn to appear in his paper. The out- come of the conference will probably de- | termine whether Josh will be allowed to | continue. Another Mass-Mecting. | Arrangements ere being made to hold a | big mass-meeting in East Berkeley with | the view of obtaining the consensus of | opinion of the citizens in that section with | regard to bonding the town for safficient | to erect a_suitable wharf.

City and County Attorney Créswell has handed the Board of Supervisors an opin- ion that the Commissioners of Golden Gate Park have the jurisdiction over improve- ments on Point Lobos avenue. The sub- ject has been a mooted one for some time. Property - owners and street passengers have been anxious for a long time to have sidewalks laid along certain sections of the thoroughfare between Central and Fi | avenues. Neither the Board of Supervi: ors nor the Park Commissioners would or- der the improvements because each was | uncertain of its authority todoso. The matter was accordingly referred to City and County Attorney Creswell for legal advice. =3 According to the opinion the Legislature in an _act dated April 1, 1878, gave the Park Commissioners jurisdiction over and including what is now known as Point Lobos avenue as if it were part of Golden Gate Park. They were empowered “to lay out, regulate and improve the same.” The pertinent section of the act reads as follows: The seid board shall have the full and ex- clusive power to govern, manage and direct the said parks and avenues; to lay out, regu- late and improve the same; to pass ordinances for the regu?fltiuu of the government of the same; to appoint such engineers, surveyors, clerks and other officers as may bé necessary: o srescrlba and define their respective duties and authority; to fix the amount of their com- pensation, and to have the management of the funds provided for the improvement thereof. The property-owners lining the way will now have to petition the Park Commis- sioners to inangurate the street improve- ments and see that they are properly car- ried out. 1 KICKED HER OUT OF BEC, C. J, Campbell Drove His Wife to Church, Then Locked His Door on Her. PUT HER IN A DARK ROOM. She Has a Divorce—Elizabeth Ball Has One Also, but She Wants Alimony Now. Judge Hunt yesterday granted a divorce to Mrs. Essie Campbell upon her petition and allowed her to resume her maiden name of Essie Gullick, besides ordering the respondent, who did not appear and made no contest, to pay her the sum of | $100 a month for maintenance. The plaintiff is a pronounced brunette. The respondent, who was her husband, is Charles J. Campbell. He left the City and State some time ago, and is now said to be in Nevada. They were married in Oakland October 2, 1894, and lived together until March 17, 1895. The findings of the court represent a very unhappy state of affairs in the Camp- bell household for months prior to their separation. The husband, according to the testimony of the wife, which was not contested, was given to kicking his wife out of bed, locking her up in a dark room, and, after a Sunday morning beating, com- pelling her to go to church, and afterward, on the day of the separation, told her that his house was no longer hers and com- pelled her to ‘“‘go to her tribe,” as he put it. He then wrote a letter to her relatives, warning them not to come to his house. On a previous occasion he took from the plaintiff her jewelry, telling her at the same time that he had had a detective on her track previous to their marriage; that he found that he could not trust her, and therefore before marriage he had placed his Froperty out of his name so that she could get no share of it, nor could she compel him to support her. The court found that the defendant was in receipt of $250 a month from his prop- erty, besides what he earned, and decreed that he must pay the plaintiff $100 a month and §$250 for her attorney’s fees. The respondent is brother of George D. Campbell, an attorney, who filed the fol- lowing rather tart communication with the court, which becaime a part of the record, giving it the legal title of Campbell vs. Campbell. The communication as- sumes the tone of a letter as follows: H. I. Kowalsky, attorn or plaintif—DEAR 8im: On enlefln!é my och/ejthispmorn?l;z at 9 o'clock I found a paper addressed to me as at- torney for the above defendant. You will rleu:e take notice that I am not the attorney or the defendant and never have been, as you well know, and why yvou aadress any paper to me in this action I 'fail to understand. Yours respectiully, GEORGE D. CAMPBELL. Elizabeth Ball was granted a divorce from John C. Ball February 16, 1878. She was awarded the care of the two minor children, Walter Barron and Gertrude, and two-thirds of the community property. Yesterday through her attorney she filed a petition setting forth that at the time of the decree the respondent had a very considerable property—community Fropertv—bnt that she had never received but $1000 from it. She alleges that her former husband is now living at Los An- geles, where he has much valuable prop- erty; that she is herself without means of support, and asks that the respondent be required to pay her $100 a month.

It is surer and cheaper than medi- cine. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt has a newly pat= ented regulator which makes the current mild or’‘strong while the belt is on the body. Ne other belt made can be regu- lated. ({1 M l1Y, NLD® f = e | q 7 Hir, 0 ptu o Wh// umu/;,,,,,, N ,sL\\“\ h Z i q AW £ T The disease known as varicocele has baffled the medical profession at every turn. The various attempts to remove it have all proven ineffective, and some of them even more injurious than the disease itself. The knife, vacuum, compression and massage have all been tried and all failed, and yet Varicocele and its large following of wasting weaknesses can be cured. Varicocele is a congestion of the stagnant blood in the veins, with considerable distention of the glands. Electricity will decompose this congested state and drive the stagnant blood into the circulation, relieving the veing of the weakening strain, at the same time contracting the glands which have grown weak from the disease, thus curing the whole trouble. DR. SANDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT, Recognized by the medical profession as the most scientific method for the application of the electric current to the body, and backed by many thousanls of cures of various nervous and chronic cases, is now acknowledged the best means of reaching the dread wasting disease. vARlCOCELE- Its power over this disease is remarkable. Cures have been completed in one month, and the worst cases can be reached in three months by this belt. Asan evi- dence of recent results the following will be interesting: ““ The losses are nearly all stopped and the varicocele almost entirely gone. Your belt is a good one.” J. N. ESTHER, Emigrant Gap, Cal. “ My varicocele, which was very bad and_painful, so that I had to wear a support, was helped right away and in one month had disappeared aitogether.” A. A. KURTZ, Tualitan, Or. ““I had varicocele and weakness of 26 vears’ standing. Your Dr. Sanden Electrio Belt has cured me.” L. L. JACCARD, Jeweler. San Leandro, Cal. Many other cures can be found by referring to the little book, * Three Classes of Men,”” which can be had free upon application. Those who have tried other treatments will find much of interest in this book or a visit to the salesrooms of SANDEN ELECTRIC CO., 632 MARKET ST., OPPOSITE PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO.
