Logan Sailed Yesterday for the Caroline Islands. Built by Congregationalists to Re- place a Vessel of the Same Name. T missionary schooner yacht Robert ‘W. Logan sailed for the southern seas yves- | terday afternoon. She is to replace the boat of the same name which was lost on the Carolines nearly two years and a half ago. Before the Logan sailed there was a re- ligious service held on boArd and quite a mumber of people interested in the work were in attendance. A prayer by Rev. C. 0. Brown brought the service to a close, and then the captain of the little craft, taking advantage of the wind and tide, started on his long and perilous journey. The Robert W. Logan is owned by the American Board of Missions of the Con- gregational Church and Captain Isaiah Bray is her commander. The latter is accompanied by his wife and daughter. | Miss Carrie Bray is going to Kusi, in the Carolines; where she will join the training hool established at that point by the i ts. L be chief officer of the little craft during the first part of the voyage. He accompanied by his wife and child. Captain Foster is the son-in- law of the Rev. F. M. Price, who is sta- tioned at Ruk, in the Caroline group, so at his wife is really going back to her Once the Logan is delivered at the ionary station Captain Bray will re. turn to San Francisco and Captain Foster assume command. From San I sco the schooner yacht will go to Honolulu, and there land H. W, Gilman of Boston and Hugo Fisher Jr. The latfer is a brother of tae well-known artist of that name, who is a member of Tk Cau's staff of artists. The two young men are not missionari Waiter Frear, agent of the American Board of Missions, is very proud of the new craft. She was designed by his son, tire naval architect at the Union Iron Works She 1s about fifty tons burden, but every inch of space has been ntilized, and those who travel in her will find very comfort- able quarters. Thursday last Lieutenant W.E. Gunn of the Naval Battalion and a crew selected from the Naval Reserve manned the little craft and took her out on a trial trip. The wind was very light and for over an hour it was almost a dnfting match. Toward sundown, however, a irp(-zc sprang up, and the Robert W. Lozan showed that under favorable circumstances she wonld be a very fast boat. Tte first stop will be at Honelulu, ana from there Captain Bray will take the ves- el direct tc Ruk, in the Carolines. There testatrix to the | { : o innd weighs over the missionaries will board her and a tour of all the islands, including the Marshall group, will be made. e ‘As no vessel has zone to the missionary stations for over a vear the Logan has an immense quantity of mail matter aboard. | This will be welcomed by the missionaries, who have: not -heard from home for six | months. e —————— TRYING TO FIX RATES, Trans-Mississippi Railways to Hold a Conference for That Purpose. General Passenger Agent T. H. Good- man of the Southern Pacific will leave ‘to- | night for Chicago, where he will attend a conference of all the Western railways. The Chicago meeting will be made up of passenger agents and general managers of the vatious railways west of the Mis- | sissippi. For a year and a balf the Western roads Lave been struggling with the question of a comprehensive association “that would establish passenger rates ona firm basis. Different associations have been formed from time to time, but without reaching the desired - result Should this latest effort prove successfal, Mr. Goodman say it will pnt an end. to rate-cutting, which | has beenidone on the sly and atalmost! every provocation. SHRA BERNHARDT'S DOG, One of the Famous Actress’ Fa-| vorite Pets Now Owned in | San Francisco. [ Was a Present From Czar Alexanderi II—A Magnificent Specimen of the Great Dane. “I'm Sara Berzbardt’s dog, whose dog } are you?” ! These words are engraved on “a piece of | silver attached to the collar worn by a| magnificent specimen of the canine speci that makes its home on Bush street in this City. The dog, which was once the favorite | pet of the French actress, is, together with | | the peculiarly inscribed collar, a source of | agreat deal of interest and wonder to | 1 ‘1 many people.

Any‘ AGAINST THE POOLROOMS, Stringent Measures Favored by a Committee of the Super- visors. FULL TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT. Its Final Passage Will Mean the Complete Closing of the Down- -town Rooms. The expose made by THE CALL some time ago regarding the harm done by the | numerous poolrooms that flourish and grow opulent in this City resulted yester- day in the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Supervisors reporting favorably on an ordinance which, if approved by the board, will put an end to pool-selling out- side of the racetracks in the City and County of San Francisco. The Grand Jury took the matter up after Tie CarL had shown the thorough rottenness of the system and the number | of young men who were being ruined by spending their earnings and any other money they might be able to lay hands on in these resorts, and their recommenda- tions to the Supervisors were acted upon. The measure is as binding and compre- hensive as the best legal talent procurable could make it, and while it is known that the pool-sellers, who are amassing for- tunes through their operation, will fight it to the last resort, it is believed that the new order has no loopholes through which they can escape. The full text of the new ordinance is as follows: Prohibiting all _persons from eninxlng in selling pools or bookmaking, or making bets or wagers on horse races wherein money or other articles of value are staked or pledged, or placing of mowey for such purposes by car- riers, agents, brokers or commissioners, except in certain places. The peopleof the City and County of San co do ordain as follows: ¥ . Any person or persons or corpora- tlon who, except within the inclosures of a racetrack or fair where horse-race meetings are being nctually conducted, keeps any room, shed, tenement or bootn, building or any part thereof, or who keens any place on any public or private ground within the City and County, except a3 provided above, with any book, in- strument or device for the purpose of recording or registering bets or wagers or selling pools, or any person, except as above provided, who registers or records or wagers or sells pools on the result of any trial or contest of skill, speed THIS CITY. [Sketched by a ¢ MYRTHA, THE GREAT DANE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO SARA BERNHARDT BY COZAR ALEX. ANDER II, NOW OWNED IN “ Call” artist.] person who is a lover of animals is at once attracted to the creature, not only by her | massive proportions, but because Myrtha, | for that is her name, has an unmistakably | distinguished appearance for a dog. | The information received from the in- | scription on the collar at first creates amusement, a sensation which is speedily | fotlowed by one of curiosity to know more of Myrtha’s history and so Mme. Bertin, in front of whose establiskment she is always seen. and who is now her mistress, must relate her story. Myrtha is not only a thoroughbred Great Dane, but she is essentially a blue- blood in the strictest sense of the term, for she is the scion of royalty. She was pre- | sented to Sara Bernhardt by Alexander 11, the Czar of Russia a token of his appreciation of her histrionic achieve. ments. It was after an imperial perforn lance of “Cleopatra’ in St. Petersburg in 1383 that Bernhardt was thus honored by Alexander. ened Myrtha and became the most favored | of the actress’ pets. When she grew older | she was not only a pet but followed | Mme. Bernhardt as a bodyguard wher- ever she went. When Bernhardt came to San Francisco in 1891 Myrtha was a regular member of the company, but when the Australian trip was undertaken she had to be left behind, as the management did not care to | incur the expense of taking alon a veterinary surgeon to care for her, \fifich was one of the steamship company’s re- | quirements. So Mme, Bertin, who looked | after Bernhardt’s wardrobe during the San | Francisco engagement, was given charge | of the royal pet until the return of its mistress. When Bernhardt returned to | San Francisco she decided to bestow Myrtha upon her manager, Henry F. Abbey. That gentleman took Myrtha to the Palace Hotel to live, but the first night she destroyed about $100 worth of furniture. When Mr. Abbey had to settle for her pranks he concluded Myrtha was an expensive pet and returned her to her old mistress. Mme. Bernhardt had come to look upon | {the dog as an incumbrance, and so be- | stowed her upor: Mme. Bertin. And so it is that a member of the royal family of Russia has become contented to | make its abode in a dyeing establishment on Bush stree e Music at St. John' At the request of several lovers of good music | who attended the service at St. John’s Church last Sunday the programme will be repeated. The boy soloists—Arthur Miller, soprano, and Willte Smith, alto- sisted by the chorus, will sing the duet, “I Waited tor the Lord,” from Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise.” The vested choir consistsof thirty boys and twelve men, which also includes a quartet—Frank H. Lom- bard first tenor, Alfred Gray second tenor, I v Kirke White Jr. first basso and L. C. Williams second basso.

The committee was unanimous in favor- ing the order, and the matter will come up for final passage at the next meeting of the board. The members of the Grand Jury dis- cussed the pool-selling ordinance now pending in the Board of Supervisors yes- the order should be finally pasied wi‘th a little delay as possible. ¥ ‘The Grand Jury regards it as essential to the moral welfare of the community- that the practice of pool-selling in the - business districts should be at once prohibited. A communication expressing the sentiments of the jury will be sent to the board. MAY TALK OF CUBA. If the Sympathizers Go any Further Than Talk, However, the Gov- ernment Will Step In. United States District Attorney Foote was asked yesterday if the Federal authori- ties would do anything: to prevent the sympathizers with Cuba, now- organizing in this City, from going to the island’s as- sistance in her:struggle against Spain. He replied: “If any act is done that is levying war on a foreign -power, the Government will ste? in and ‘put a stop to the movement, So long, though, as it goes no further than mere talk, and organization. for that mat- ter, and the persons interested keep within the bounds of international law, the Gov- ernment will not take any action. ““In our country people have the libertv to talk as much as they please -and about any subject they desire.”’ BUDD FEARS NO HO0DOO. The Governor Wanted to Secure Box 13 at the Charity Concerts. All the Seats Will Be Sold by To-Night. Militiamen to Act as Ushers. Governor Budd is not superstitious. Such incidents as having a black cat cross his path vr viewing a new moon over hi: right shoulder when he has a silver coin in his pocket are not-to the executive oflicer omens of good or evil. It is not re- corded “that the man with the quiet whiskers ever whirled around on his left heel threc times on confronting a cross-eyed man, unless the unfortunate was an office- seeker. Governor Budd yesterday flew in the face of superstitions notions by telephon- ing to Mrs. Hunt, who is arranging the Children’s Hospital concerts, that he wanted to engage box 13 for the opening night in the Pavilion. The box has been christened the *‘hoodoo box,” and at the sale of boxes and seats Jast Wednesday by George A. Knight he called particular at- tention to the numver, 13, and tried to impress upo:i the purchasers that 13 is a lncky number. He said that he would guarantee that the purchaser of that box would haye good Iuck in love, marriace and business affairs, but even the new colonel’s guarantee was of no avail and the box went a-begging. Soon after the Governor hear that there was a hoodoo box in the show and he de- termined to have it. Whether he was allured by Knight’s promises or spurred on by the determination to sit where others feared to rest is not known. The Gover- nor was to some extentdisappointed in his desires, for he was told by Mrs. Hunt that after the auction sale Eugene Lent had been impressed with Knizht's promises and bad quietly ‘made a bid for good luc! by buying the ticket for the box for th opening concert, The Governor was told that he could have the hoodoo box for the second night or box n the orening night. It is be- lieved that he will accapt tite latter, as those who know him say that he wiil not take box 13 when the hoodoo is rubbed off. But Goverror Budd will be there, hoodoo or no hoodoo. Mnnnrer Geisler of Sherman & Clay’s, where the tickets are for sale, stated that the sales yesterday were very large. At the present rate of disposing of admis- sions all of the seats on the main floor for the opening night will be sold by to-night. Among those who obtained boxes vester- day were William Alvord, H, S. Crocker and Governor Budd, but the latter’s box, as stated, has not yet been selected. General Dickinson yesterday informed the management that he would be glad to perform any service that could be sug- gested. He thought thata body of militia- | men in uniform to act as ushers would | present a striking appearance. The idea | was well received, and the general has- tened away to find thirty National Guard men who will volunteer their services as ushers during the concerts. He gaid that there will be no difficulty in securing the services of the whole regiment, if neces- sary for this purpose. He.expects to re- ceive more offers than he will bave places 1l TWO LONG SENTENCES. A Forger and Grand Larcenlst Given Thirty-Five Years Each by Judge Wallace. Two hardened criminals will retire from public view for some little time as a result of sentence day before Judge Wallace yes- terday. One was George H. Gallagher, charged with forgery for -having forged the name of J. Pecht to an order on Till- man & Bendel for two barrels of sugar. BEST KNOWN OF AMERICA'S WRITERS. M. Quad, the Detroit Free Press Man, Made Well hy Mr. Charles B. Lewis is more familiarly | known to the thousands whosa life he has cheered as M. Quad. It must be more than a score of years since the country was laugbing over the sayings of his honor and Bijah, chronicled_by_Mr. Les Detroit Free Press. From that time until now M. Quad has delighted ‘the public with unnumbered quaint sketches of | character, overflowing with a humor that appealed to readers all the more strongly | because they recognized the fidelity to life | under the fun. Among Mr. Lewis’ recent creations the Bowsers, Brother Gardiner, Mrs. Gallup’s Tribulations, Possum Sketches and the | Arizona Kicker are destined to long life. | Mr. Lewis’ admirers will be surprisel to | learn that, like Walter Scott, Mark Twain | and other highly gifted authors, he has produced work of rare quality ‘while tor- mented by pain. Mr. Lewis suffered intensely from rheu- matism. “It made my days and nights miserable,” he says, “and of course the | | mervousness. | much better, and to-da, Y; was greater in bad weather. At the same time my nerves were weak and I was in worse shape than I hope ever to be again. Yes, I took advice by the yard and medicine by the quart with no success. I was broken in spirit and bent almost | douable in the body, when somebody snug- | gested Paine’s celery compound for the | That remedy made short | of the nervousness and of the rheu- | u, too. A few doses made me feel | I am well; a | happy change that I attribute to the use of | Paine’s celery compound. It gives me sincere pleasure to bear witness on the merits of the compound. Iknow at least a dozen authors and journalists who have found it a remedy for the same com- plaints.” Rheumatism attacks the body when it is tired out, and when its functions begin to act sluggishly. Disordered nerves, faulty digestion and a slow, incomplete nutrition | of the body invite rheumatism, just as they | do neuralgia and nervous debility. There is no surer starting point for rheumatism WO! mati: than a “run-down,” nerveless condition. Paine’s celery compound increases the appetite by giving a healthy tone to the stomach; it makes sure that the entire nervous system gets completely nourished. It regulates the bowels and the kidneys { and’encourages them to get rid of harmful | and poisonous matter that the siuggish system has allowed to lodge in the blood, thus causing rheumatism and kindred dis- orde You cannot cure rheumatism by out- ward applications, The disease is due to internal disorder and must be constitu- tionally attacked and got rid of. Paine’s celery compound has done for thousands of other people exactly what it did for Mr. Lewis. They were sufferers as he was, and the cdmpound has made them well. The warmest praises of Paine’s celery compound are from men and women of high character and keen intelligence. They know they are doing a work of hu- manity and mercy in commending to all persons out of Lealth this certain and speedy means of getting strong and well. RATTAN ROCKERS WERE NEVER SO CHEAP. He is 40 years old and an old offender, as he has once before been convicted of for- eery and once of grand larceny, =o his Honor sent him to the State prison for thirty-five years. Richard Kelly, convicted of grand lar- ceny for haying robbed a man of $200, also came up for sentence. Thz weight of three prior convictions for the same offense rested upon him, so he, too, was given a sentence of thirty-five years. It is only about a year since Kelly was released from San Quentin after serving a sentence of fourteen years for his favorite crime— grand larceny. e—.————— A Pacific Const Cycle Show. The time seems ripe for a cycle show on the Pacific Coast. While the eyes of the bicycling world are attracted to Chicago and New York through the cycle shows which are to be held in each of those cities the coming winter THE CALL believes that the bicycle people of the Pacific Coast should not lose sight of their own opportunities. A bicyele show in San Francisco would at. tract the attention of the manutacturers of the United States; it would be a factorof instruc- tion to our own people, who are alive to all developments in art, science and advanced principles of manufacturing, and it might tend to bring to maturity some of the many propo- sitions advanced during the past season for the manuiacture of bicycles at home by ouc ywn citizens, Aside from the importance of a eycle <how as Aan instrument of instruction to our manufac- turers, the bicycle-dealers of the coast would undonbtedly welcome & cvcle show this winter. It would give a splendid impetus to eycling and offer ‘an opportumity for presenting the various lines of bicycles to the public in & vleasing and attractive manver. The bicycle clubs might well join in this matter and get up some general attractions that would draw individual wheelmen from all parts of the coast here at the same time, and it could be made an event long to be re- membered in coast eycling history. New List of Merchant Vessels. The Custom-house authorities have received & communication from Eugene Chamberlain, Commissioner of Navigation, stating that the usual annual list of merchant vessels of the United States has been printed and is nearly ready for distribution to the various customs ports. The number allotted for gratuitous di tribution at tnis port is only 100 copies, con- siderably less than has herétofore been sent, but the Commissioner has not overlooked the necessity of furnishing all sea-going vessels with & list. This pamphlet,~which is much more compact than thé books formerly given to masters, will not be distributed from the Custom-house. Every sea-going vessel is en- titled to a copr, and applications for the same may be addressed to the Commissioner of Navie terday, and came to the conclusion thatlnflon at Washington.
