The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, December 1, 1895, Page 19

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1895 19 was given at the Stolp residence in Oakland and proved a success socially and financially. Mrs. Blitz Paxton and Mr. Thomas Ricard rendered some especially charming musical kelections. The candy booth, presided over by Mrs. Henshaw, was the center of attraction, every box and pieco of candy being quickly sold. Henshaw was assisted in receiving by . Edson Adams, Mrs. Metcalf, Miss Florine wn, Mrs. Wall, Miss Ferrier, Miss Nellie Chabot and Miss Grimes. A most delightful evening wes spent by all. A week ago Wednesday the first large dance oi the season was given by Mr. and Mrs, W. T. Wallace at Armory Hall, and évery night since there hasbeen a ‘dance, many oiuwm large ones. The debutantes were present in num- bers & week ago Wednesday night, the men as well as the girls. The callow youth, fortu- nately, was not so prowinent as he was last year. Young men of this season are easily distinguishable from those who have been out for the last few years by their enthusiastic in- terest in the various affairs they attend. 1t will not be very long, however. before they lose this enthusiasm and settle down in the blase manner which is supposed to be em- phatically the thing for the young men of the Ppresent day. It has been over a week now since the great ball and still it is the never-failing topic of conversation. It is a great pity there are not more balls given like this one. The only trouble seems to be tne lateness of the arrival of the guests. There is certainly no reason why dances should not start earlier out here. In New York where they have the opera to at- tend it is all well enough, but as we have no opera season and a very small leisure class it is very hard on the man who has to getup earlyin the morning. Quite & number have Eent regrets {0 parties this season on that ac- count. The two-step or deux temps has been the most popular dance this season, and seems fast to be driving out the old-time waltz. The dance given by the Monday Evening Dancing Class was vi successful, as have been allof the club's entertainments. It was not a late dance, nor was the hall at any time crowded. Wednesday and Thursday seemed like a night in the New York season, for there were no iess than three dances and &s many more dinner and theater parties. On Wednes- day was the charming dinner and dance given iss Hooper, which was fully described these columns next day; the din- &t the Bohemian Club given by . Greenwood, and the theater party on the same evening &t the Baldwin given by Miss Eleanor Goodell to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Knight, who only recently returned from their wedding tour through Mexico. Among her guests were most of the bridal arty, including Miss Minnie Houghton, Miss Nellie Hillyer, Miss Jessie Coleman, Miss Alice Owen, Miss Kate Clement, Frank L. Owen, Frank Deering, Donald Y. Campbell, H. B. Houghton, E. H. Sheldon, H. M. Holbrook and Mr. Goodal A delicious supper was enjoyed at the Uni- versity Club after the performance, after which the guests were driven to their homes, On Thursday tables were in great demand at the University Club, where the greater number of luncheons and dinners were given. Then quite a number took place in private houses before going 10 see the football game.

Depositors of People’s Home Savings Bank Petition the Commissioners. A meeting of thedepositors in the Peo- ple’s Home Savings Bank will be held at 102 O’Farrel street to-morrow evening. The depositors submitted a second peti. | tion to the Bank Commissioners of Cali- fornia yesterday, praying that some action ve taken toward reducing the expenses of the settlement. They aver that the affairs of the bank can be well handled at one- half the present outlay. A majorty of the board of directors, they claim, are anxious to bring about the reduction, *‘but cannot by reason of an indifferent hostile minor- ity.” They ask, therefore, that an order of reduction may be made by the Commis- sioners. Gunnison, Booth and Bartnett, on be- half of their client, the California Safe De- posit and Trust Company, as the assignee of more than 2600 depositors, representing claims against the People’s Home Savings Bank aggregating $720,000, make a demand of the same nature. They make no objec- tion to the expenditures as far as legal ex- I;en:es are concerned, ‘‘belicving that the egal affairs of the bank are handled effi- ciently and economically,” but express the opinion that the other expenses of man- agement are excessive. Those expenses, they state, are $445 per month, the salary of the manager being $250, the assistant $125 and the rental $70. They ask that the salaries and rent be reduced. HIS SLAYERS UNEKNOWN. Inquest Held on Young Neville, Killed in Eickhorst’s Grocery. At the inquest held by Coroner Hawkins vesterday, on the body of the young car- penter, Alfred Neville, who was killed by tobbers in Eickhorst’s grocery at Pierce and Greenwich streets, on the night of Sunday, the 17th inst., the verdict returned was that he was murdered by unknown persons. Groceryman F. G, Eickhorst repeated the statement he made to the police at the time of the shooting. The inyestigation of the deaths of James King and Edward Marite at the S8an Bruno gluarry, owned by Contractors Warren & alley, developed that in each case the killing was accidental. From the testimony it was learned that Marite was warned in time, and that King, in disobedience of orders, was working where he should not have been when the blast occurred. ’ The young Tulare miner, Daniel Carrol!, was found to have come, to his death b suicide at the California' House, 626 Cali- fornia street.- The mysterious disappear- ance of the woman who was with him in room 15, until 3 p. M. on the day he was discovered asphyxiated, was not satisfac- torily explained. Two hours after the woman left the man was found dead with the gas in his room turned on. HISTORY OF BOOK PLATES, Their True Character and Place Are Little Un- derstood. SOMETIMES CALLED EX-LIBRIS. First Used by Pub. in the Sixteenth Century. They Were lishers Much has been said and written about book-plates, or so-called ex-libris, and yet there are men of books—makers, venders, and buyers—who have no very clear idea what they are. Inthe minds of some they are ludicrously confounded with the ster- eotype plates from which books are printed. g Book-plates are. primarily, ornamental designs inserted on the inside cover of books to indicate the ownership. They were first used in the sixteenth century, and from this it must be supposed that then, as now, precautionary measures against the negligence of borrowers were necessary. A second object besides to in- sure against loss of books is to secure the identification of a valued tome as a part of Eugene Ficld’s Bookplate of Bookplate. Charles Dickens. a collection. Still a third object is to grat- ify an unexplainable desire of book-lovers to invest their books with a personal char- acter, slight though it be, by the insertion of something which in some way will make them different from the more or less copious batches of books. In order to secure this personal characterization_the more effectually there is sometimes added to the plain statement of ownership, indi- cated often by the armorial bearings on the book-plate, some more or less original sentiment or some bibliophilic motto which denotes the prevailing taste or bias of thought in the owner. To have a book-plate has become a fashicn and one that is likely to remain. Itis a pleasure to the book-lover, on re- turning home in the evening with new purchases of books, to affix to each volume Alfred Tennyson. some special mark of ownership before passing them to their appropriate places in his library. To collect book-plates has also become a fashion, and one that affords gratification and instruction from several standpoints. Since they bave been in use so long; since almost from the beginning of the making of books it has been the custom to affix some mark of possession, it is interes ing to collect and study book-plates from the antiquarian-historical point of view. Herald and genealogist are interested in them because those having the armorial bearings, which style has been most used in England, afford a means of study of the achievements and pride of connection at different epochs of innumerable families of note, expressed in the fashion of suc- cessive periods. Among the book-plates of wealthy book-owners or those of some dis- tinction in their time but now forgotten is found, here and there, the book-plate of Henry Irving. some famous man or woman long since dead. If it bear some motto, some cun- ningly devised allegory or a “bookpile” identification is upon it. More individual- ity and originality, and less following along the old lines, in modern times, is displayed; there are newer combinations of old devices and freer expression of per- sonal taste and turn of mind, and the owner’s name in an enigma or monogram is much in vogue. England largely re- tains the old style of armorial bearing, and some Americans use the coat of arms of their English ancestors. The designs, besides the armorial bear- ings, which_figure most often.on book- plates, are “‘library interiors,” ‘‘book piles,” allegories, landscapes. portraits, seals, urns, wreaths and the ‘“‘tree of literature.” Collectors obtain book-plates from vari- ous sources; from the covers of old books to be found among the waste and rubbish of second-hand bookshops all over the world, the discarded covers of old books i) Designed by 'W. M. Thackeray. Designed by Millais for Mr. Christo- pher Sykes. sent to be rebound, from libraries of those wi:o insert their own book-plate in place of that in some old volume now come into their possession, and some even from rare and valuable books. Large collections are accumulated by purchase of numerous smaller ones or through the agency of dealers. Itis an easy task to remove book-plates from old volumes. A piece of flannel the size of the plate is wetted thoroughly, laid on_the plate and pressed with a hot iron. The steam arising quickly perme- ates the plate and moistens the paste or glue, and the book-plate can be lifted off the cover without injury to the volume. KareRINE N. DURHAM.

Holmes, the chief engineer of the board, has now completed the plans for the new light tower, and the work of its construction will begin next week. 1t will be in every respect not alone an important convenience to the ferries, but to all vessels and steamers passingat night into the harbor. It will stand twenty-nine feet above the foundation, and the lower portion of the tower will be twelve feet square, and the center of the lights twenty-four feet from the base. The upper part, or lighthouse proper, will be octagonal in form, sup- ported on handsome coiumns. The lights will be three feet square, the three front lights of ruby glass, and each will be arc electric lamps of 2000 candle-power, or 6000 candle-power for_the threo. The focusing light will be used with a twenty-four inch reflector, and the current will be constant, being connected with the permanent un- derground circuit, so it may be turned off or on at any moment. Engineer Holmes has succeeded 1n mak- ing a very ornamental design, the archi- tecture of which is in harmony with that of the new depot. Theidea is to make this lighthouse a permanent landmark, soships and steamers may arrive &t an accurate knowledge of their locality by the bearing of the light. It will be visible from the west, north and south, and must certainly be of incalculable advantage to the ship- ping. It will be vastly more powerful than any light in the port, and will show boldly out against the background of City lights, nor will there be any danger of confound- ing it with them. The ferry-boat captains are much grat- ified at the promptaction of the Harbor Commissioners in acceding to their re- quest, and the breadth and power of En- gineer Holmes’ design. n “smoky” weather this beacon will save them many an anxious moment in making a landfall. WOMEN HIS VICTIMS. Arthur Arlington, an Ex-Convict, to Be Brought From San Jose on a Charge of Grand Larceny. A complaint was sworn to in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday by Detective Gilson for the arrest of Arthur Arlington on the charge of grand larceny. Arlington is a smooth talker, and women anxious for matrimony are his particular prey. He pretends that he he isa wealthy miner or rancher in quest of a nice woman who would comfort his declining years, and when he gets into their good graces he either steais something of value from them, or gets them to intrust him with the disposition of their available funds. He was arrested in San Jose recently, but the authorities there were unable to get a conviction against him. Detectives Gilson and Reynolds had been looking for him for the past three months, and when they were notified yesterday morning that the cases against him in San Jose had fallen through they telephoned to Chief Kidward to hold him, as he was wanted here. Detective Reynolds left for San Jose yesterday afternoon with the warrant and will return with Arlingion. The specific charge against Arlington is for stealing a diamond breastpin, value $100, from Mrs. Lulu Patterson, a widow, living at 867 Howard street, August 30. He had been visiting her under the guise of a wealthy miner, with a view to marriage. Arlington is an ex-convict, having served a term in San Quentin for a similar offense. — e MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION. displaying the names of favorite authors it | The Secretary Making a Collection for will add a little to our knowledge of the person, and it remains a memorial of his private tastes and aspirations.

THE SPANISH MINISTER, Happy Household of Spain’s Rep- resentative at Wash- ington. GOSSIP ABOUT THE LEGATION. The New Residence of Dr. Talmage g to Be Rented This Winter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Per- haps the most important of the foreign Ministers in town at present is the gentle- man who represents Spain at our republi- can court, and he bhas just moved intoa new and beautiful house in the fashionable part of the city. Senor Dupuy de Lome has been in this country in the capacity of Minister only since June, and, as the old legation was not at all to his taste, he has found one that will enable him to keep up the proper dignity of his country. Madame Dupuy de Lome is a very beau- tiful woman, -of the real Spanish type, with a round figure, a lovely face from which two big dark eyes look out under a white brow from which the black hair is becomingly combed. She is an accom- plished linguist, and the happy mother of two handsome boys, one of about 11 and the other 9. Senor Dupuy de Lome is a | very young-looking man for his age, which is 44, but to look at him one would not think him more than 33. He is fine- looking, accomplished, and very deter- mined in his ways, his manners being quick and nervous. He is a great student and spends much time on astronomy, a science in which he is instructing his two boys. The troubles with Cuba and the necessity of keeping a sharp lookout for the friends in this country who might will turn the tide in favor of free silver. His offices are in a law building near the Treasury, and he spends most of the day at his desk hard at work and hving in the hope that the friends of the white metal will come to its rescue. Stewart is not rich now, but he keeps up his home, Stewart Castle, in good style and gives occasionally delightful entertainments. The Minister from Turkey, Mavroyeni Bey, is back in town and refuses to say a word about affairs in his native land. All along the legation has denied the reports of massacres of the Armenians, and main- tained that it was due to peoplein this country who started the false rumors. Mavroyeni is a short, dark man, very fond of society, and, while he gives magnificent dinners during his stay at summer resorts, he never entertains at all in Washington. The youngest daughter of Chief Justice Fuller will make her debut the first of the year if the poor healith of her mother im- proves. The daughter of Congressman Newlands, whose wife was one of the heirs of the big Sharon estate, is also to be among the buds of the season. As Newlands is immensely rich and owns quite a bit of property about they will probably make her coming-ont an event. NEW TO-DAY. BXPERT TREATHENT, With a Prompt and Permanent Cure at the Nominal Fee-Rate of $5 a Month, All Mecicines Included—The Common Symptoms of Catarrh. Great numbers of people suffer from the ma- lign poisons of eatarrh as from other subtle chronic maladies, without any correct or defi- nite idea of the nature of their affliction. The following symptoms have been carefully ar- ranged by Drs. Copeland, Nealand Winn to en- eble many sufferers to understand just what it is that ails them. Many diseases known under varicus specific names ¥ origin and nature. Every part of th membrane, the nose, throat, ey mucous s, ears, head, lungs. stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and bladder are subject to disease and blight by catarrh, The proper course for suferers i3 this: Read these symptoms carefully over, smuggle arms to the insurgents are giving the Minister a great deal to doand his post is by no means an easy one to fill with dig- nity and satisfaction. The legation is handsomely furnished and will be presided over by the Madame, who was many years ago in thiscity, when her husband was act- ing as secretary to the Minister a good while ago. The opening of Congress, which will be this week, will likely bring matters to a crisis, as far as our interest in the matter is concerned, and this proceed- ing is being watched with a great deal of interest by the Minister from sunny Spain. The Minister irom Portugal, Senor Sequiera de Thedim, who was quite iil for some time, is now well, and it is ex- pected that he will soon leave on a trip to his native land. Now that the cold weather has come and all of the officials are in the city, and Congress is about to meet, the town looks quite lively, for the Lotels are full of new members and the hearts of the boarding- house keepers are giad. There are so many new members this year that it will be some time before they get acquainted among themselves, but it "is likely to be a lively winter, for all_of the big men are settled and politics will be hot. The Sher- mans are at their beautiful white stone house and living very quictly,and the wife of the Senator says that he has no volitical aspirations. Senator Quay of Pennsylvania is settled in his home, which was just finished last winter, and, though it is a fine mansion, yet he* never doesuny entertaining, and his family live in a most quiet style. The homes of the prominent Senators are all open and the !egnlions prepared for the winter. The house which was recently purchased by the Rev. Dr. Talmage, the famous Brooklyn divine, has been repainted and is now a light green tint, while the interior has been remodeled and freshly papered. The place will be rented out by Dr. Tal- mage till he is ready to occupy it next winter. At present Talmage and his two dn]ughlers are living at the Arlington Ho- tel. Congressman Barham of California is in the city and so also is his colleague, John- son, the latter being most anxious that a new White House be erected, as he thinks the present yne too small for the dignity of the American Nation. He will no doubt present a bill for this, purpose during the session of Congress, and it is to be hoped that his ideas will be acted upon, for the executive mansion is entirely too small, and the private residence of the President should be separate from the public offices of the President. The Minister from Russia, Kotzebue, is expected to reach town some time this month, and the lezation of Russia, which is now shut up, will be opened. Kotzebue will not bring his wife on at the same time that he reaches here, but she will probably be over some months later. As the Russian legation has been tor some time without any hostess it is hoped that tl{? Minister will soon be joined by his wife. A daughter of Senator Gorman was mar- ried this week to a young Mr. Johnston of this city. The Gormans live very quietly in a brick house near to the home of Mrs. Secretary Carlisle and go but Iittle in society. Another of the daughters is to be married during the month of December. Senator Brice's family are expected to reach town soon and they wi i occupy the beautiful home of whit y hoic the lease. Itisthe house which was the home of the Jate W, W.

It is magniticently furnished in alatial style and full of curios and gem- ike ornaments from Europe. In thedining- room is a buffet of carved wood that ises froin the floor to the ceiling, and on it is a giittering service of gold that is the wonder of all visitors. Now that Brice has been defeated it is likely that he will give ufy his lease except for this win- ter. 1f so he will be much missed here, for last winter he spent fabulous sums on entertainments, and his affairs were always rezarded as the handsomest of any in town. He paid large sums for the music, and would import musicians from New York in order to play for a few hours. Mrs. Hearst, mother of Editor Hearst of the Examiner and the widow of the late Senator Hearst, is back from her trip to Europe and has opened her home in this city. The Hearst house is a beautiful one of ‘browunstone and is furnished in exqui- site taste and in a style in keeping with the wealth of the owner. Mrs. Hearst has collected a great muny valuable antiques and has a fine collection of rare china, besides many other priceless things i jewels and laces. She is very prominent in charitable work, as well as in the social world, and is regarded as one of the leading ladies at the capital. She is ever ready to help in any good work and kindergartens of the city are much indebted to her kindness. The fact that her suit has been advanced on the calendar of the Supreme Court, and tbat it will as a consequence be tried with- in a few weeks, is a great cause of con- gratulation to Mrs. Stanford, who was on a few weeks ago in order to hasten its trial. The case will be watched with interest by all Washingtonians, for it is only a short while since the home of the Senator from California was the most hospitable in town, and the sums he spent on entertain- ing were immense. He thoufiht nothing of bringing on in the dead of winter huge baskets of strawberries for a single din- ner, and the generosity of himself and his wife have made them a warm place in the hearts of many a newsboy in the city. The gentleman wno has been Minister from Hawaii, Mr. Castle, will likely leave town within a short time, as the arrival of his successor, Mr. Hatch, relieves him of the necessity of staying any longer at the capital. Mr. Castle, who has large inter- ests in the island of Hawaii, is very anxious to hurry back to his property. Senator Stewart is still busy on his paper, the Silver Knight, which he hopes Catarrh of the stomach is usually caused by swellowing poisonous mucus, which drops aown from the head and throat at night.
