C. Beitler in Golden Gate Park. He Had Reached the Limit of His Resources—Was Discovered by a Teamster. A fine-looking, well-dressed man, be- tween 35 and 40 years of age, was found lying dead in the sand just off the south drive of Golden Gate Park, near the water works, about 5:30 p. M. yesterday. He nad three bullet-holes in him and beside him lay a 88-caliber Hopkins & Allen “X L” double-action revolver, with three chambers empty. James Wynne, a teamster, was just pass- ing along on his way to his home, corner of Ninth avenue and D street, and by chance saw the body. He reported his dis- covery to Police Officer Dearborn and Deputv Coroner Tyrrell was immediately notified. A careful search of the dead man was made at the Morgue. The only thing found on him giving any indication of his identity was a pawn ticket of the Golden West Loan Office, in favor of D. C. Beitler, for a_black overcoat, on which Beitler hat obtained a loan of $8 on October 31. As no such name in the city direc- it is thought Beitler must have been a recent arrival. There was a bullet-hole in the right temple of the dead man’s head and two in his left breast. One of the bullets had gone clear through his body. He was dressed in a cutaway suit of dark gray ribbed material. ‘The supposition is that Beitler had gone to the limit of his resources, and seeing no rospects of encouragement decided upon suicide. It would seem as if any one of the wounds might have been fatal, and the three ballet-holes put a mysterious aspect upon the possible circumstances of the man’s fate ——— Quiche and Spanjard.

SHE IS NOT A NEW WOMAN But She Does Net Believe in Staying at Home and Making Tidies. Mrs. Caroline Miskell Hoyt is one of the few young women in real life who have met with the rapid success that heroines in novels who go on the stage generally achieve. Just two years ago she made her debut as an actress, and to-day she comes to It’s a splendid idea to write a play back- ward—work from the beginning toward the climax. Mr. Hoyt thought out ‘The Contented Woman’ while he was clipping hedges at our little place in New Hamp- shire, and he wrote it in three weeks.” The arrival of friends to take the young actress to the Cliff House putanend to further questioning respecting Mr. Hoyt's methods. “I am so sorry,” said Mrs. Hoytas she went out into the California sunshine, *‘that we only have one week here. One week to see everything! ButI mean to devote every moment to seeing and admiring.” STANFORD LEGACY TAX. Action Instituted to Secure the Pay=- ment of $150,000 Alleged to Be Due the City. A. C. Widber, Treasurer of the City and County of San Francisco, has taken the first steps toward compelling the legatees of the Stanford estate to pay $150,000 as a collateral inheritance tax upon their lega- cies. The nature of the Treasurer’s action is a petition for an order directing the legatees to show cause why each should not ¥By his or her pro rata of the amount. The legatees mentioned are Herbert C.

California as a star at the head of her own company in a comedy written especially for her by one of the leading playwrights in the country—bke is her husband, but that’s another story, though it is all in- cluded in the two years’ career. Success has not spoiled this lucky young woman, however. She is still girlish and unsophisticated enough to find unaffected delight in a bunch of roses, to revel in the sunshine and to extract a schooleirl’s sat- isfaction from a drive to the Cliff House. She scarcelv looked more than a school- dental Hotel yesterday, waiting for the carriage that was to take herto see the sights. The room was literally filled with roses that friends of Charles Hoyt had sent to the young wife and she could not stifle the expression of her satisfaction at the gorgeous display. “You know this is my first visit to the coast. I never saw anything like them be- fore,” she said, balf apologetically, indi- cating the roses with a small hand that was ablaze with diamonds. ‘“We have {nst come from San Jose, where I saw houses there with rose bushes climbing | right over the roofs. Welll I had to be- | cve it, because I saw it,but if any one had told me about the San Jose gardens before- hand, I should have been skeptical.” Mrs. Hoyt laughed when asked whether she was still as enthusiastic about her pro- fession as when she first went on the stage, “I am more 80; it grows upon one. Now, frankly, don’t you think it is better to be &N actress, o a newspaper woman, or an artist—anything where vou can work and have ambitions, instead of sitting at home and making tidies? ‘‘A new woman? No, indeed, I am not | anything of the sort! New women all con- sider it a sacred duty to understand poli- tics, and politics bring so many gloomy forebodings in their train. If you are & Democrat and the Republicans get in you say the country is going to tae dogs, and when the Democrats get into power the Republicans say exactly the same thing. Asthe country mnever does go to the dogs it seems to me that politicians are pessim- ists unnecessarily; but that may be be- cause I am not a new woman and know nothing about the subject.’ This was certainly a new view to take of politics, but Mrs. Hoyt appeared to have arrived at it by her reasoning. She is a girl who looks as if nothing, not even the conviction that the country was going to the dogs, comd induce her to take a gloomy view of life. Her large gray eyes sparkle with fun, she has a bewitchingand ready smile and even her Tam o’'Shanter hat was set on her blonde curls in a jaunty and cheerful way which seemed to say that the wearer was quite above worrying over trifles. ‘When it was suggested that she take the part of a new woman in her husband’s play Mrs. Hoyt explained carefully that she was supposed to dabble in politics more from pique than from conviction. “Itis an aunt who induces the Con- tented Woman to run for office agsinst her own husband. She has had a tiff with her husband, so she is willing to take that way of getting eveh, but she only mas- querades as & new woman; she is not ihe genuine article. i “Did my husband write the g\lay from actual experience in Denyer?

FATHER SCANLAN INJURED The Parish Priest of St. Joseph’s Church Breaks His Leg. His Shoulder Also Dislocated by a Fall—Stepped On a Banana Peeling. Rev. Father Scanlan, pastor of St. Jos- eph’s Church at Tenth and Howard streets, is confined to his home with a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder. The priest was hurrying to catch a car Friday morning when he stepped on a banana peel and fell with great force to the pavement. His leg bent under him, ana the weight of his body, Father Scan- lan being a large man, broke the leg at the knee. His shoulder also was dislocated, and it required the combined strength of several men to get it back in place. The accident occurred on Tenth street, directly in front of the schoolhouse. Father Scanlan was carried to his home and a physician summoned. It was found that his leg was broken at the knee. The priest suffered intense pain. It has not been determined whether he has been internally injured. That can only be de- termined in time. The news of the accident spread through- out the parish and hundreds called at the parochial residence to inquire as to the condition of the sufferer. All sorts of rumors were soon flying about, but the statement was made by one of his assist- ants that while Father Scanlan’s condi- tion was serious, there was no immediate danger of fatal results ensuing. e ‘What It Will Be.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT, The Pacific Mail Company’s Steamer Peru in a Heavy Storm. SHE IS TOPHEAVY AS USUAL. Her Cabins and Statercoms Are Filled With Tea—Other News Items. Quarantine Officer Chalmers and the customs officials were kept very busy yesterday, for three deep-water steamers arrived. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s City of Puebla came from Puget Sound ports, the Pacific Mail Com- pany’s Peru from the Orient and the Oceanic Steamship Company’s Australia. The City of Puebla and the Australia had uneventful trips, but the Peru had a ter- rible experience for twenty-four hours. This was last Sunday and Monday, It blew a living gale, and on several occa- sions the crew held their breaths, thinking the steamer, like the Colima, would “‘turn turtle” and go down. It wasanawful ex- perience. Captain Friele was equal to the emergency, however, and brought his ship through without a mishap. The Peru brings an enormous cargo and, like the Colima, she was topheavy. When the word *‘enormous” is used it refers niore to val ue than to bulk. It consisted principally of teas and silks. Of the latter there were 1200 bales, and asto the tea, it simply was everywhere. Staterooms both on the hurricane and main deck were filled with it. The storeroom and all the spare spots fore and aft were filled, and it even in- vaded the officers’ quarters. From one end of the ship to the other it was tea, tea, tea, while here and there an_occasional bale of seen. “‘Our cargo consists curios and silks,” said one esterday, and the appear- el bore him out. In spite of her “enormous” carfiu she loomed up as though she had not a thousand tons in her hold. It issimply another instance of the Pacific Mail Company sending a vessel with a big but topheavy cargo to sea. The Peru did not bring many passen- gers. The full list is as follows: Mrs. R. Pollak, Lieutenant D. Daehm, Albert Lessere, Lieute: Sydns hant-Colonel E. Esefe, C. P. Keith, Lieutenant Andre de . D. Oppenheimer, S. Nishikata, 0.'W. von Spaeh, Dr. Maurice C. Wright and N. v 5 < | Lieutenant Artees, K. J. Okeamoto, E. Unmagay. Among these 8. Nishikata and K. J. Okamoto are electricians, and are on their way to Europe to attend the Electrical congress to be held in Europe next month. They laugh at the telegraph statement that Japan is going to spend $200,000,000 | on warships, and say the story is a *‘fake.” At the congress Messrs. Okamoto and rikata of the “Department of War and mmunication” will advocate the build- ing of a cable between Japan and Formosa and endeavor to interest European capital | in the scheme. The Russian officers who came over on the Peru refused to discuss the situation {in the Orient. Lieutenant Andre de Pokrowsky, however, admitted ihat Rus- sia was strengthening her Asiatic fleet, |and intimations were given by the others | that a naval station dominated by the | Czar would be established '‘very near” Port Arthur, in spite of England’s pro- t The City of Puebla brought down a large number of passengers and a light cargo. The yacht Eleanor was to bave started for San Diego yesterday, but her million- aire owner changed his mind, and after circling around the bay twice came to an anchor again off ~ Washington -street wharf. Steam is kept up all the time, and the chances are that a start will be made to-day. *‘Tom’’ Casey was appointed collector at sections 3 and 4 by the Harbor Commis- sioners last week. His commission dated from the 1st inst., but Tom did not assume control. He explained matters in a shame- faced kind of a way yesterday. “It just amounted to this,”’ said he. “The women folks won’t listen to such a thing as start- ing a new {ob on a Friday. They insisted it was unlucky, and although I tried to laugh them out of the superstition, they stuck to it and, well, you know a woman will get ber own way. Isimply had 1o beg off for a day and start work a day later than my commission called for. That's one cccasion on which a woman and her superstition got the better of me.” There was an amusing scene at Main- street wharf yesterday, in which A. J. Dunnell, the "British Consul to Cham- perico, and Alec McLean, the well-known sealing skipper, figured. The Consul had engaged passage on the schooner Una and Dan McLean, having fixed up all his troubles in a satisfactory mauner, was en route to Central America to bring the schooner Nicolene to S8an Francisco. Dun- nell wanted to make a visit to some friends uptown and Captain Hawkins allowed him until4 p. M. in which to do his busi- ness. At that hour the Consul was not in sight and the tug being alongside a start was made. Wharfinger Dryden called out to Hawkins that the Britisher was not aboard and the skipper at once madea stop and bundled all the Consul’s belong- ings ashore. Just about this time Dunnell was seen running at a great rate from the Mail dock and wildly gesticulating. The Una was away from the dock, and Captain Hawkins was again appealed to. A boat was se- cured and the various satchels and trunks of her Majesty’s representative were low- ered into it. ~Alec McLean, who wasdown lowering of the things when he lost his balance, and he and a_trunk went into the bay. Both were fished out, but the sealer had not words enough at command to give an adequate idea of what he thought of the new Consul. HEBREW LADIES’ FAIR. It Came to a Conclusion Amid Scenes of Pleasure and Joyous Revelry. There was literally scarcely room to move about in Union-square Hall last night, which witnessed the close of the Hebrew Ladies’ Festival of Nations with great eclat. The announcement that all articles that had not been previously disposed of were to be sold at auction, and that a social dance was to conclude the successful fes- tival, which has been in progress during the week, attracted a _cmwgr that was Lorfied to elbow and push its way about the all. It is estimated that the net returns will be about $5000. ——e e COMMITTEE OF FORTY. The Civic Federation Selects Three More Men to Act. The Civic Federation held a largely at- tendel meeting yesterday afternoon at which another advance was made toward completing the committee of forty, which is to have charge of the investigation into the affairs of the City. Three more men were appointed, making a total of over thirty citizens who havealready consented toact. The names were suggested by the membership committee, and were unani- mously adopted. It is expected that the balance of the men necessary to make up the required forty will be chosen next week. Only those who are deeply and earnestly interested in better municipal to see his brother off, was assisting in the h government are wanted, and the federation is proceeding very cautiously in the mat- ter. At the meeting the members present also discussed their suit against the Board of Supervisors regarding the tax levy. The argument before the court in the case comes up Monday. Charles Wesiey Reed, the attorney of the federation, who has charge of the suit, addressed the members, explaining the status of the case and the probable cutcome. He expressed himself confident that Mayor Sutro’s veto would be sustained, and that a new and lower tax levy would have to be passed later on. INDORSE MR. DOCKERY. The Board of Supervisors Asked to Pay Him a Much Larger Salary. More Arrests. At a special meeting of the Can and Bottle Recovery Association held on Thursday night the following resolutions were passed : ‘WHEREAS, There is a general impression that the milkmen of San Francisco are opposed to milk inspection; therefore be it Resolved, That the milkmen of San Francisco as represented by the Milkmen’s Association are heartily in favor of honest milk inspection and believe that it will resultin much good, both to the dealer and to the consumer. Resolved, That the office of Milk Inspector is one of great importance and that good and sufficient salary should be paid him, 80 8s to allow of his being able to maintain a horse and buggy as & means of reaching all parts of the City and County. Resolved, That we respectfully petition the honorable Bosrd of Supervisors to allow an appropriation for the payment of the salary of the Milk Inspector, so that the inspection of milk in San Francisco will be continued. Messrs. Fassler, Taber and Hermeil were appointed a committee to confer with the Supervisors in relation to the above. ilk Inspector Dockery swore out war- rants in Judge Joachimsen’s court yester- day for the arrest of J. Saunders, Harry Eckhardt, Peter Costa and B. Cassoy for having offered for sale adulterated milk. TO STUDY HUMAN NATURE The California Psychical Society Was Incorporated Yes- terday. Doctrines of Psychological and Meta- physical Research Will Be Disseminated. The movement which has been in prog- ress for several months past tending toward the formation of the California Psychical Society has reached fruition. Papers incorporating the organization were filed with the County Clerk yesterday. The purpose for which the corporation is formed is “to study the nature of the mind and soul of man and to investigate the principles of psychology; to dissemi- nate information of the same and to prac- tice, cultivate and disseminate the princi- ples and doctrines of psychological and metaphysical research.” The society also aims to establish and maintain schools, colleges, halls, libraries and lyceums for the advancement and dif- fusion of such information; to publish articles, printing matter, newspapers and periodicals of all kinds, which will enable the members of the society to disseminate the result of its investigations and to fur- ther its main objects. An orphan asylum will eventually be established and other charitable institu- tions be maintained for the benefit of all who are connected with the society and also a few of the deserving poor. A fund has already been gunaranteed by members of the society which amounts to about $350 a month, and it is expected that goubln that amouant will be raised in a few ays. The society proposes to frame a course of lectures on psycholo.ical and metaphysical subjects, which will be delivered at in- tervals throughout the winter in some public hall in the City. At the present time the organization is endeavoring to engage the services of an English lecturer, but as yet it is impossible to determine whether it will succeed in its purpose. The following officers have been ap- pointed to hold office during the ensuing vear: George M. Terrill, president; J. Dalzel Brown, secretary; Val Schmidt, treasurer; George M. Terrill, W. Jj. Bart- nett, Val Schmidt, Jose'Costa, James H. Swift, J. Dalzel Brown and B. M. Bradford, directors. GOETHE - SCHILLER FAIR It Will Be Opened in a Blaze of Splendor on Tuesday Evening. PICTURES OF GERMAN SCENES. Reduced Fares for People in the In- terior Cities—All Preparations Completed. The general arrangements for the Geethe-Schiller festival have been com- pleted, but there is a lot of work still to be done in the Mechanics’ Pavilion where the fair will take place. The artisansand la- borers are hard at work day and might in order to have everything completed by Tuesday next, the opening day. It will last until next Saturday night.

Redding Has Renounced the Pleasures of Life in This City. San Francisco is to lose Joseph D. Red- ding. In fact, he is already lost, for he has gone to New York and engaged in the practice of the law. He left this City some weeks ago, ostensibly to visit Los An- geles, and it was then surmised by some of his intimate friends that he would only return here to wind up his business affairs in this town. General Thomas J. Clunie, who recently returned from the East, saw Mr. Redding |in New York, and ascertained that the | latter had formed a law partnership with the firm of Ferry, McNaught & Ferry, and was in a fair way of obtaining at once a practice, both lucrative and agreeable. |~ According to all accounts Mr. Redding firmly resolved some months ago to re- | nounce the “high jink,’”’ the burlesque | opera, the park peristyle and the manage- ment of the park music. In New York he will be dignified in manner, serious in FAUST BOOTH — WITCHES MOUNTAIN. [Sketched from a drawing.] agement is sure that everything will be in readiness for the opening. When the work is completed the big barn-like pavilion will bear but few traces of its ordinary interior appearance. Booths, stands and artistic structures representing dozens of ancient and modern scenes in Fatherland will be represented. More than that—the artists have plunged into the allegorical and mythical for scenes and situations that will attract the public at- tention. Among the attraction is the Faust booth, Tepresenting the witches’ mountain. Those who are familiar with the opera will re- member the Walpurgis night and the scene where the uncanny people go gallop- ing around the mysterious and unholy mountain by the light of the moon. The witches who will be in evidgonce at the Faust booth will be of a different character, and attract rather than repel. The managers of the aflair, anticipating a large interest on the part of Germans in the interior, have made an agreement with the railroad people for a 40 per cent reduc- tion in fares from San Jose, Stockton and Sacramento. This reduction will be only on round-trip excursions of sixty or more people. g 2 Some time ago the association sent invi- tations to the faculties of the Berkeley and Stanford universities to attend the festival; also to the students of both institutions who are studying and are interested in German history and literature. Yesterday the faculty at Berkeley accepted the invita- tion, and promised to be in attendance. A meeting of all of the committees was held yesterday and the chairman of each reported that everything is in readiness for the fete. At 10 o’clock this morning a grand re- hearsal of all the choruses will be held in the pavilion under the leadership of Di- rector Vogt. g _ The fund is steadily increasing. The | speech and exceedingly discreet in bestowe | ing applause on music of the sort which moves a ballet girl to pirouette, Mr. Redding has en convinced, by | personal experience and wide observation, that San Francisco will never regara him seriously, and so to obtain that recogni- tion which he has so long sought and found not in California, he concluded to go away from the scenes of his boyhood. —— New Cure for Insomnia. Harry Lehman, a sailor, was taken from his room at 110 Sixth street to the Receiving Hos- pital in an unconseious condition at an early | nour yesterday morning. He was suffering | from gas asphyxiation. After he recovered he said he had been troubled with insomnia and an old Germen doctor had advised him to try the effect of gas. He got a small rubber tube and afiixed it to the gas-burner, placing the other end in his mouth. He turned on the gas, intending to turn it off when he began to {1881 drowsy, but the gas was too strong for im. e ——e— Stabbed in the Back. Henry Speckter, & boy who lives with his parents at 652} Natoma street, had a stab | wouna in his back dressed at the Receiving Hospital yesterday afternoon. He said he was walking along Jessie sireet with a chrysanthe- mum in his button-hole when aboy named Stratton, whose father is the proprietor of the carpet-beating works, tried to take the fower from him. During’ the struggle Stratton stabbed him in the back with & pocket-knife. | The wound is not dangerous. —————— Hit With a Sandbag. Robert Fahrlich wasfound in an unconscious condition on Clay street, near Sansome, last night. He was bleeding profusely from an ugly scalp wound, the result, he claimed, of coming in contact with a sandbag. He told Dr. Bunnell at the Receiving Hospital that while walking along Clay street he was at- tacked by two men, one of whom struck him over the head with a sandbag, to rob him. Two dciuzens came alopg and the robbers bolted. -~ Suit for Oil Lost by Leakage. W. P.
