Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson Goes Back to Her Home in Samoa. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s wharf was crowded with people yesterday. Many of them were there 1o see friends away on the Australian steamer, while the remainder were simply there out of curiosity. When the *“all ashore” bell was rung there was a general exodus, and the following passengers were left aboard: For Honolulu—Charles Creighton, Mrs. . H.

Miss Kate Field, the noted newspaper woman, is “‘on pleas@ire bent” only.

All the four quarters of the globe were represented, and just how they will agree remains to be ‘seen. There were Chinese, Japanese, South Sea islanders, negroes, nglishmen, Germans and Frenchmen. Many of them are bound for the goidfields and all expect to come back with fortunes. Among the South Sea islanders are Wal. ter Schnell, Walter H., Albert, Walter Jr, and Alfred Quintel and George Christian, They were whalers on the bark Charles W. Morgan. Captain Earle’s men kept desert- ing at every port, and when he reached Norfolk Island he had to replenish his crew. The natives shipped wifiingly, and they are now going back with about $200 apiece in their pockets. At Auckland they | will catch the missionary steamer South- ern Cross, owned by the Episcopal church, and will thus reach their home.

There was an enthusiastic meeting of | over four hundred property-owners of the | San Miguel Rancho district last evening | at Judson’s Hall, corner of Douglas and | Alvarado streets, presided over by W. B, | { | Cartis. George D. Shadburne, Major Kinne, E. . E. Troy and others made obrief ad- | dresses, advising the interested property- owners to stand together and combine | against what they declared was the black- mailing schemes of those who are now taking the initial steps in the famous Noe suit. This advice was scarcely needed, bug it was appreciated nevertheless and heart- ily approved. A committee was appointed to investigate the status of the Noe suit and report at the next meeting a, plan of campaign. This committee is composed as follows: E. P. E. Troy, chairman; Behrend Joost, H. Schaffner, H. M. G. Dabler, T. Judson, Captain R. W. Anderson, W. J. Nixon George W. Lewis, Jacob Heyman and F. E. Hackney. The committee will meet next Sunda; evening at Judson’s Hall. The club will meet again Friday evening, November 22, NOE VALLEY'S BAD WATER, Its Consumers Will Find Out Why It Is So Very Offensive, THEY ARE ALL INDIGNANT. A Mass-Meeting Held and a Committee Appointed to Solve the Mystery. The people of Noe Valley are going to find out why the Spring Valley water fur- nished them is so poor. At a meeting of representative residents last night the mat- ter was discussed and a committee ap- pointed to make a thorough investigation. It was a dead albatross that inspired Coleridge to write— Water, water everywhere, Nor atly drop to drink. And it is something dead that causes these people to complain in the same strain. They have suffered long enough to aliow occasional departures from the standard of purity, but when they remember the old tormula—pure water is destitute of color, taste and smell—and realize that what they are supposed to drink fails in all these particulars, then they are convinced that something is radically wrong, veral weeks ago & physician discov- ered in a sample of the water two small germs which he believed to be of the “‘comma’ species, but repeated searches failed to discover any more, so herefrained from making public the startling an- nouncement that would immediately have brought on a great cry of “Prove it!” from Dr. Webb Howard Lane and Dr. Plumber, stockholders in the Spring Valley and members of the faculty of Toland Medical College. So the suggestion of dreaded cholera could not be substantiated after the two little cells were lost. It was Municipal Ownership Club No. 1 that met last night and turned all its at- tention upon the character of the water rather than upon the matter of who fur- nished it. Health Officer'A. B. Kinne is the secretary of that club and Dr. D. Brad. ley Plymire presided at last night’s meet- ing. 'lll‘he discussions trought out a general expression showing that the water was bad, and had been so for a long time. In the low places the water seemed to be worse, a condition attributed to the lack of proper flushing of the inain and supply pipes. Several instances were cited, and one of only two nights previous, where the company lmdugeued all its hydrants in the neighborhood to draw off some of the offensive deposit. But the residents thought that if the water were pure in the first place, it would not be so suddenly corrupted by a little sluggishness in the flow through the pipes. A well-authenticated story was cited of a man on Hill street who had examined into the sewerage of an unoccupied house to locate a disagreeable smell, but found to his surprise that it came from the water pipes and not from the sewer. A committee of three was appointed last night to make a complete examination | into the source and avenues of supply of | the water for Noe Valley. Dr. I}J: 3. Plymire, Health Officer A. 'B. Kinne and W. J. Cuthberson will make the investiga- tion. A number of microscopic examinations were made of water from different resi- dences in the neighborhood and all of them showed a surprising amount of vegetable :liro, thousands of little specimens to the rop. Vegetable decomposition is the cause of malaria and typhoid fever, as the water in Noe Valley is prolific in possibilities. THE FESTVAL REBEARSAL Great Enthusiasm Over Benefit for the Children’s Hospital. the Four Hundred Singers Rehearsed at Metropolitan Temple—The Receipts Large. “This is the greatest revival in the local musical world since Zerrohn trained an | immense chorus here in the '70's,” said one of the enthusiastic artists who is active in the preparations for San Francisco’s great musical festival next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. He was reveling in the magnificent choruses at the mass-rehearsal at Metro- politan Temple last evening in preparation for the great event, Four hundred of the best voices of this City and Oakland were united in choruses from oratorios that are classics in the literature of music. “Thanks Be to God,” from “Elijah”; “Hail, Bright Abode,” from Tannhauser, and the halle- lujah choruses from ““The Messiah’’ seemed to be drawn in tuneful unison from some mysterious source by the baton of D. P. Hughes, who conducted the earlier part of the rehearsal and will actas director on the first evening of the festival. The audience in the gallery warmly ap- plauded the rendition of each chorus and testified right lustily its appreciation of the triple trio in “The Heavens Are Tell- ing,” from “The Creation”; Gounod’s chorus, “By Babylon's Wave,” and the “Triumphal March,” from *“Damascus,’” from the opera ‘‘Naaman,” which, con- ducted by James Hamilton Howe, will constitute the grand ensemble choruses of Wednesday evening. The orchestral numbers, of which there will be three on each evening of the festival, will be ren- dered by some of the best professionals of San Francisco, under the direction of Joseph Hirschbach, Sigmund Beel will be the concert-master, and Messrs, Hal- lenhauer and Landsberger on first rack. They will be heard in & new suite of God- ard’s, its first rendition in this City. Among the vocal soloists will be Miss Elizabeth Bell, soprano. who will sing on Tuesday evening an aria from ‘“Mignon’ and on Wednesday evening the ‘Jewel Song’ from “Faust.’’ Ugo Talbo, the tenor, and Robert Lloyd, barytone, will be heard in solos, and Miss Daisy Cohn and E. J. Stark will render a duo from “Rigoletto.” Miss Blanche Thornton of Stockton will be the soloist with the Harmony Choral Cluh, Robert Lloyd conductor. The bass solo_in rown With the Tempest,” from “Ernani,” will be sung by S. Homer Henley, with the combined ora- ltori&:al societies of San Francisco and Dak- and. San Jose will send twenty-five of its best soloists, among whom Mrs. Hilman Smith is prominent, and Mr. Howe goes to the Garden City to conduct a rehearsal of that section of the chorus this evening, and to- morrow morning he will deliver his lec- ture on ‘“Ihe Oratorio” before his return. The San Francisco and Oakland Ora- torical societies, delegates from the Loring Club and singers from Lorin, Golden Gate, San Jose, Sacramento, Stockton and Peta- luma will join in the grand rehearsal at the Mechanics’ Pavilion on Tuesday morn- ing at 11 o’clock, and will participate in the festivals. The triple trio, which will be heard on Wednesday evening, is composed of Miss Josephine Sistermans, Mrs. A. A. Dewing and Mrs. Frank McCormick, sopranos; Frank Coffin, C. H. Philpot and J. Morris, tenors; Walter C. Campbell, J. M., Robinson and 8. Homer Henley, bassos. The receipts for the festival reached up- ward of $2000 yesterday. Tickets in Demand. The management of the Children’s Hos- demand for tickets since the auction on Wednesday is even greater than wasan- ticipated. ~ All day yesterday there was a solid line of purchasers at Sherman & Clay’s store, where the tickets are for sale. So far the general demand has been for $1 50 seats on the main floor. The ladies who are taking an active in- terest are not slow in disposing of tickets. For example, Mrs. Robert Barnett yester- day was so energetic that she disposed of $84 worth before 4 o’clock. She stated that every one approached in the name of the Children’s spital purchases tickets on the first asking. ' Tt dimanillitor Poxes'atiha regular price, $20, is also good. Yesterday boxes were sold to M. H. de Young, H. Levy, Eugere Lent and Mrs. I. Lowenberg. DRUCKER'S NOMINATION. It Will Probably Be Confirmed by the Board of Edu- cation. His Friends Claim Sufficient Strength to Make His Election a Certainty. The nomination of Dr. George Drucker for the vacant seat in the Board of Educa- tion was a surprise to some of the School Directors. Drucker’s friends claim he has a suffi- cient number of votes in the board to confirm his appointment, and were it not for the absence of Director Carew the gues- Dr. George Drucker. [From a photograph.} tion would have been pressed to a conclu- sion at the meeting on Wednesday night. Mr. Carew, though of an opposite political faith, is known to be friendly to Drucker. So are Directors Clinton and Ambrose. The latter is a warm personal friend of the dental surgeon and, in view of the fact | that 1t was an ttter imposs bility to secure the place for a Democrat, 1t is said he has | been quietly aiding the aspiring friend. Director Barrett has always been for the doctor, and it is thought that at least Messrs. Hawley, Henderson and McElroy will fall into line when the proper time comes. Dr. Drucker is a son of ex-Supervisor Drucker and is a native Californian. He is a graduate of the dental department of the University of California and has been a practitioner for over twelve years, during which time he has built up an extensive business. He was a candidate for School Director before the last Republican Con- vention and though not on the siate re- ceived eighty-six votes. Dr. Drucker is a member of Stanford Parlor No. 76, N. 8. G. W., and also King Solomon’s Lodge of ¥ree and Accepted Masons. MANAGER VINING WEDDED. His Bride a Young Lady of Brookline, Mass. General Manager E. P. Vining of the Market-street Railway Company was mar- ried last evening at 6 o’clock at Brookline, Mass., to Miss Agnes Eliza Brooks of that city. The marriage ceremony was per- formed in the Baptist church. Mr. Vining will return to this City w th bride on December 3. This is Mr. second marriage. He has two ble daughters as the result of his first matrimonial alliance The newly made Mrs. Vining comes from a family of great wealth and high social standing. VIARIAN NOLAN WILL SUE, The Venus of California Objects to Her Picture on a Whisky Bottle. hi Vining' marri An Eastern Firm in Trouble for Showing a California Actress in Bathing Costume. Miss Marian Nolan, the pretty blonde. who has been equally successful in her toles of artist’s model and actress, threatens to hring suit for damages against local agents of the John Fleming Company, distillers, of Pittsburg. She has engaged Josegh Rothschild as counsel and will, if possible, secure a snug sum from the company that advertises its whisky by means of nickel-in-the-slot Equchiues in many of the saloons of the ity. Miss Nolan produced a vial of whisky with the tell-tale Fleming label upon it and said it had been used in a Market- street saloon as an allezed picture of her as she appeared in a bathing suit. “If my picture didn’t come up the sample bottle did,” said Miss Nolan,and she strongly objected to the use of her pholographin such company. “I don’t know whether my lawver will make a case or not,” shesaid. *If I were a society girl there would be no trouble, vou may be sure. True, the pictures were not my private property. Thors took them for sale, but I notice that when Lil- lian Russell’s picture is used on cigar boxes and other advertisements her permission must first be gained.”” A letter from Mr. Rothschild to the offending liquor-dealers resulted in an im- mediate promise to refrain from further use of the picture. The small boY who wants to dispose of a stray nickel is or- dered to ‘‘get out,” and Miss Noian’s pic- ture has disappeared from the pile of “beauty pictures” that advertise the un- surpassed qualities of certain beverages. ‘Whether the young lady is entitled to recover damages has not oeen determined. Miss Nolan will be remembered as the model for the “Venus of California,” Ru- rt Schmid’s work, now in Italy, and uring her brief stage career as the fai in “The Black Crook” and the English girl 1n ““A Strange Story.” Ske also played a minor part with Robert Downing In “The Gladiator.” | Enthusiastic Quarterly Meeting pital Festival concerts reports that the | | let to some one of the bidders. | of the aims might be attained by earnest | effor | sociation add to the plan that the public | schools close on July 4, and that the vaca- MANY REFORMS FAVORED, of the Merchants’ As- | sociation. PLANS FOR FUTURE ACTION. Civil Service in Municipal Offices and a Better Sewerage System Advogated. The quarterly meeting of the Merchants’ Association was held last evening at| 26 O'Farrell street. Over 600 notifications | and invitations had been sent out to mem- | bers and prominent citizens, not more than 100 of whom responded by being present. | Among those present were City and | County Attorney Cresswell, Senator John | Fay, Supervisor Taylorand J.J. Reynolds. | President Dohrmann called the meeting to | order. 3 The board of directors presented a re- port upon work accomplished during the past year. In the beginning the report showed that the outstanding dues on No- vember 1 amounted to $354; cash on hand affer all bills to November 1 were paid, This left a total surplus to the credit of the association of 8 This does not include the street-sweeping funds, which wi The member: 1ip on May 20 was this number 13 have withdrawn and 71 joined, making the present membership By the plan for future progress the association exvects to have a membership of thousands instead of hundreds within a a year or two. The report deals at length with the association’s efforts to have cleaner and better streets, and also the obstacles in the shape of people and interests that have been encountered. One interesting matter is the project to pave Market street with a noiseless material, and_the opinions of | the directors are shown in the fellowing: | Suggestions for the repaving of Market street with noiseless pavent have been made to this association by different parties. While the desirability of improving the pavement on Market street is fully recognized, and this soclation is very desirous of assiating every ment in this direction, we do not be- lieve that the time has vet arrived when such an effort would be succéssful. Particular reference was made to the as- sociation’s efforts toward removing from the streets al]l kinds of obstructions that mterfere with business. The excessive ad- vertising on fences and buildings was also heartily condemned. The matter of the City expending $10,000 for an official map was' touched upon, and the directors asserted that the map could be made for $1600. The report was well received by the as- sociation. The next question was the sprinkling of the public streets and having the City pay for the work. President Dohrmann called the attention to the injury done to all mer- chants by clouds of dust settlingupon their goods, Even the people living in the suburbs would be benefited by general street sprinkling, He said it was unfair to tax a few public-spirited men for work that the public should pay for. The Super- visors prepared specifications for bids, and bids have been made, but the Street Com- mittee has not acted upon the matter. Hugo D. Kyle suggested that a letter be addressed by the association to the Street Committee requesting that the matter be attended to and the contract for sprinkling The sug- gestion was adopted. At arecent meeting of the directors a “programme for progress’ was adopted outlining the association’s work for the ensuing year. It was recently published in full in Tee CaLr. The programme was read by Sceretary J. R. Freud and indorsed by the meeti particularly the parts ad- vocating civil service methods in all mu- nicipal departments, the improvement of the entire sewer system of the City and the placing of all electric and telephone wires in underground conduits. Chairman Dohrmannstated that the plan was very broad and far-reaching, but some Several gentlemen stated that civil ser- vice was not so very far off, as the system had been adopted in several Eastern cities. Isidor ob§, a canner, recommended that in the programme be incorporated a clause providing for a better ambulance tem for the care of those who meet with accident; also thatthe programme be sent to all the progressive clubs with a request for their co-operation. R. L. Tophtz recommended that the as- tions last s1x weeks. J. J. Reynolds of the League of Practical Progress suggested that the association advocates municipal ownership of water and light. Chairman Dohrmann said that this mat- ter had been discussed by the directors, who decided not to take up such a weighty matter at present. Consulting Engineer Ernest McCullough presented his report of the paving exhibit in the late Mechanics’ Institute Fair. He also read an interesting report upon the construction of high buildings. A resolution was passed that the associ- ation favors the regulation of the height of buildings in this City. A resolution was passed commending the Board of Health’s activity in the mat- ter of effecting many needed reforms, REGRET THE INCIDENT. Attorneys Donohoe and Keys Make a Reparation to Judge Low.
