Otto Dobbertin Recalls an Incident in the History of the Martin Luther Memorial. If the $6000 recently realized at the Goethe-Schiller festival, held at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion for the purpose of secur- ing sufficient capital to erect a monument to the immortal poets of the Fatherland, is spent in reproducing Reichel’s masterpiece in Weimar, Germany, it will create a rum- pus among the local sculptors and may ex- tend to other art centers of America. There is a most decided opposition to the proposed plan of taking a duplicate cast of the monument at Weimar, not only for the reason that it will do the American sculp- tors no good, but because it is contrary to the ethics of the art of making memorial monuments. “Who ever heard of any one taking a cast of a masterpicce and setting 1t up in some other country? It is not good policy and it is a decided reflection upon the sculpt ors of this country,” said Otto Dob- bertin vesterday. ‘‘The money obtained for the purpose of erecting a monument to Goethe and Schiller was secured in America and it should be spent here, A great many of the men who were foremost in the festival held at the Pavilion are members of the Manu- facturers’ and the Merchants’ As- sociation, and the strongest clause in their constitution is to patronize home in- dustry and keep all the money possible in San Francisco. I should think under these circumstances that they should practice what they preach. We have several com- tent sculptors here, but they were never invited to even make a design for the monument. The ;)roi\l‘ctors prefer to get a reproduction of a work made nearly ninety years ago. It is true that Reichel wasa great sculptor, but it can also be said with truth that since his time a few improve- ments in the art have been made. If he were alive I would be willing to wager that he would not permit a cast to_ be taken from the Weimar monument. Itis not artistic to stop at one work_nor does it encourage better production. 1f we have to go to Germany for our best works, what is the good of trying to produce anything here? “Understand me, I am not meking an independent fight for San Francisco talent alone. I think that would be too narrow, but I do believe, in common with the rest of the sculptors of tbis City, that the money should be spent in America. If no one here is able to suit the committee, Jet them send to the Eastern artists, but by all meuns keep the money in this country, where it was accumulated. “In Germany, where all of the parks con- tain monuments to the celebrated charac- The Goethe-Schiller Monument, ters of the nation, it would never be thought a good idea to reproduce another monument that had already been placed in a public park. The nearest thing to such a proposition was the Martin Luther monu- ment erected at Worms, and designed, sup- posedly, by Reichel. As a matter of fact it was designed by him, with the exception of the face, and of that there isquite a story. When Reichel died, he had almost finished Luther’s figure, and in life had been assisted by three of his pupils. The figure proper and the face were about com- pleted, but it was necessary to put on a few extra touches before the cast was made. His death, bowever, put a ston to the work so far as he was concerned, and its completion rested upon Professor Kitz and the celebrated Donndorf. Apparently they finished the work, and it was erected and unveiled with proper ceremonies. Some vears later, when another monument was required to commemorate the four hundredth anniversary of the Restoration of Protestantism, another figure of Luther was required, and as it was acknowledged that Reichel’s work was the best, a controversy arose as to ‘whether or mot it would be the proper thing to reproduce 2 similar monument. The idea was at once howled down and scoffed at. About this time, or when the indignation was at its height, Kitz came forward and madea confession. He stated to the authorities of the city of Dresden, where the new work was to be located, that the face on the Luther statue at ‘Worms was not Reichel’s work, but thatit had been modeled by Donndorf. He also confessed that Donndorf, immediately | after his master’s _death, had cut the Reichel face off the Lutber clay model with a fine wire and had added thereto his own work, and that he (Kitz) had secured the reai Reichel and that it was still in his possession. This admission created amost unprecedented excitement among the scalptors of the Old World, ana Donndorf admitted his connection with the affair, After the exposure had been quieted down Kitz permitted his treasure to be used for the face on the Dresden monument and the Luther figure at Worms was repro- duced, the same heifiht as the original (nine feet) and Reichel’s first face of Luther put where it belonged. That was the nearest thing to a duplication that ever took place in_Germany, and it would not have occurred then had it not been for the size of the fizure and the desire to get the Reichel original. “Ido mot want to be classed among the complainers, but I voice the sentiment of the truth were known, of the whole United States.” T. W. Dohrmann, who wasone of the prime movers in the Goethe-Schiller festi- val, said of the proposition to reproduce the Weimar work: “When we first began preparations for the festival it was known among the sculptors that we intended sending to Germany for a reproduction of the Reichel monument and none of them made a very decided objection at that time. Since then, however, some Rave spoken of it. So far as I am concerned I'think the claims of local artists should recetve some consideration, but none of them have shown what they can do with the case in question. It is simply a mat- ter of getting a good work. On one hand it is a matter of rome doubt and on the other a concrete and safe proposition. We know that Reichel’s creation is a fine work, and we don’t know what we can get here. It reminds me very much of Lincoln’s re- mark that ‘It is never safe to trade horses when you are crossing a stream.’ The artists had a chance to make their desires known when we first_began to discuss the festival and they said not: ing of their in- tentions or of their capacity. to produce a satisfactory w & LAWRENCE'S LAST HOURS, Conveyed to the Almshouse Without a Particle of Covering. Superintendent Weaver Says He Was in a Dying Condition—Dr. Stahle’s Story. The excitement in the Mayor’s office and Health Department over the case of Luigi Lawrence, who died at the Almshouse on the 23d inst., after having been refused admittance to the City and County Hospital, had not abated yesterday, and all the officials who had had any connec- tion with the matter called at the Mayor’s office to explain. Superintendent Weaver of the Alms- house said that when Lawrence was taken to the institution he was in a state of col- lapse. Mr. Weaver was very indignant regarding the manner in which he arrived. “Lawrence, as we understood his name to be, was brought in the Receiving Hos- pital van,” he said. “1t was easy to see that his case wasa desperate one. He was lying on the bare floor of the van withouta particle of cov- ering, and was so far gone\that he had to be carried into the Almshouse. “Dr. Condon examined him and found that his case was beyond hope. In the condition in which we found him ke should certainly have been taken into the City and County Hospital and cared for until he either died or was sufliciently re- covered to be removed to the Almshouse. ““This is not the first case that has been brought to the Almshouse in a desperate condition. One woman died on the way, iter having been directed there from the City and County Hospital, and a man, another patient, only lived six hours. “I understand that Lawrence was kept waiting one hour and twenty minutes at the City and County Hospital without medical assistance before an exsmination of his condition was made. He appeared to be a gentleman, was well dressed, and should have had at least the attention that common humanity would prompt.” Taylor Rogers, the Mayor’s clerk, said that when Lawrence was brought in from the City and County Hospital he had at- tempted to question him, but the man was unable to speak. ‘The Mayor received the following com- munication from Dr. Stahle, Superin- tendent of the City and County Hospital, in relation to the matter, yesterday: Hon. Adolph Sutro, Mayer, San Francisco, Cal. —sir: I have the honor to submit the follow- ing reply in answer to your communication of the 261h inst.: I do not know, nor does any official of this hospitel, of any patient who was brought here Thursday in & dying condition where admis- sion was refused. 1 have never refused admission to any appli- cant whose condition and circumstances sured him the care of the City,and I have cautioned the resident physician in my ab- sence to be very careful, and err on the side of ustice. ¥ Oue case was brought here last week, the name of the patient being Louis de Lenger. He had already been an inmate of this institu- tion twice; was suffering from softening of the brain, and, on the recommendation of the visitig chief, was sent to the Almshouse. When this patient arrived last week his pulse was taken, and nothing indicating weakness and speedy collapse was found. I then advised his friends to take him to the Almshouse, stat- ing as a reason that we were overcrowded; he had already been taken care of there, and his case was one that came properly under the provisions of section 3 (visiting physicians and surgeons) and section 9 (superintendent physician), rules and regulations for the gov- ernment of the City and County Hospital. Tam \»‘illlng to explain my action in person should you deem it mecessary. Very respects tully, F. H. STAHLE, M.D., Superintendent City and County Hospital. The doctor also called in person, but did not see the Mayor. It is probable that when all the facts as related by the different persons interested are laid before the Mayor he will make certain recommendations to the Board of Health looking to the more careful exami- nation of applicants for admission to the hospiials and for the greater comfort of patients while en route to these institu- tions. Celine Falquer, in whose house Lawrence lived, at 507 Bush street, said yesterday that his complaint waschronic and that he had been several times to the City and County Hospitai. “During the different times he was there,’’ said he, “he would make so much noise while out of his head that he would greatly annoy the other patients in the ward.” So when I went there with him the last time the doctor refused to admit him any more on that account, and we were told the Almshouse was the. place for him. ““We then went to the City Hall, and the Mayor gave me an_order to admit him to the Almshonse. He had no property and no other friends that I know of.” Madame Falquer did not appear to under- stand the nature of Lawrence's aiiment, but said she thought something was the matter with his brai One Bank Explain; In answering the suit of P. F. Dundon against the Pacific Bank, to set aside the transfer of the Pacific Bank property to the People’s Home Bank, the defendants in the suit have made the following ex- planation: Soon after the Pacific Bank was incor- porated, in May, 1888, it commenced to re- ceive large deposits from the People’s Home until, in 1893, it owed the People’s Home Bank §250,000, and had guaranteed other indebtedness to the amount of $595,- 000. About this time the Riverside Bank of Riverside owed the Pacific Bank $400,000. To induce this indebtedness to the Pacific Bank, the Riverside Bank conveyed some of its real estate to various parties, and then with the notes obtained liquidated. These notes the Pacific Bank executed to the People’s Home Bank under guarantee. Under this transaction the Peog e’s Home Bank credited the Paciic Bank with $215,287 72, and tbe Pacific credited the same amount to the Riverside Bank. The Pacific Bank had further guaranteed the People’s Home for Los Angeles Consoli- dated Electric Railway bonds to the amount of $200,000. - In consequence of all these transactions the Pacific Bank alleges that it conveyed the deed for the bank premises to the People’'s Home in satisfaction of these claims.

ACCUSER OF CAPTAIN HEALY. To the Invalid Wife Left Behind He Sent Confessing Letters Hinting at Suicide. Licutenant Chester White, late of the | revenue cutter Bear and the accuser of Captain Healy, has eloped with an actress of the “Passing Show’’ Company, so says the invalid wife left behind. His present companion was a chorus- girl known in theatrical circles as Mabel ““Howe,” but in private iife as Mabel Channing. According to his wife's story the lieutenant was an admirer of Miss Channing before he married Mrs. White. 5o that the escapade of the young naval officer is the revival of an old love. He had been married only a year. Shortly after the Bear arrived from the north (November 16) Lieutenant White preferred charges of a grave nature in Washington against Captain Healy, but a few days later he withdrew his charges, sending also apologies to the officer he had accused. ‘When the Bear came into port Lieuten- ant White at once secured a twenty-four hours’ leave of absence and went to his home on Golden Gate avenue to see his wife. His visit was a brief one, and the remainder of his period of absence was spent with Miss Channing in Oakland. Another brief visit was paid to his wife next day, he hurriedly kissing her good-by on the pretense that he had to report at once for duty. Mrs. White has not seen him since. Within forty-eight hours from the time of the arrival of his vessel from the north Lieutenant White and Miss Channing were aboard a train en route for the East. His wife received a sentimental letter from | him some days ago, in which missive her husband hinted at a possible suicide in the following words: When_you read this you will, of course, know what has occurred.” I will haye a week or 50 of the only real hupglness my miserable Jife has ever known, and then the end for both she and I. I cannot ask forgiveness, for I know it is imgolsihle for such an act as mine, but try and not think too hardly of me. Good-by forever, for I will not see you again, not even beyond the giave. The recreant husband and officer first became apprised of the presence here of “Mabel Howe’’ by a letter his wife handed him at his first appearance home. He told her it was from the woman and added the information that she was with the “Passing Show’’ company, qualifving his allusions to_her with considerable levity. He hastened to see Miss Channing, how- ever, who was then in Oakland. Bejore the lieutenant was half way across the continent he telegraphed his resignation to Washington, but since_then he has withdrawn it and has been assigned to another station. Mrs. White endeavored to keep her ap- parent misfortune a secret, but yesterday admitted the circumstances of his cruel desertion. Her illness has been greatly aggravated by her husband’s conduct, so much so that it was necessary for her, under her %hynicinn’s orders, to be re- moved to the Hotel Lennox. She was completely prostrated for a while. Two letters were sent to her by her husband, NEW TO-DAY. THE OWL DRUG CO., DRUGGISTS ! 1128 Marlket St., SAN FRANCISCO. 320 South Spring St., LOS ANGELES.

Effect of Passions on the Features—A Lecture at the Mechanics’ Institute, Professor H. T. Ardley of the University of California delivered in the Mechanics’ Institutea lecture last evening, taking:for his subject, “The Anatomy of Expression in the Human Face and Figure.” There was an unusually large audience present and the lecture was very interesting. The lecturer explzined the outward ex- ression by the human face of inward feel- ings from the point of view of the artist, in order to show what lines to accentuate. He said that all the leading academies of Europe associate the study of anatomy with that of art so far as it relates to the human form and spoke of the necessity to the artist of a knowledze of the muscles which play so large a part in the forming of expression. He then went on and gave some hints on the anatomical expression of the human face when influenced by cer- tain feelings and passions that would aid in a clearer understanding of just what muscles or what lines must be altered or accented in order to produce or enhance certain desired effects. “For instance,” he said, “jealousy is marked by a frowning and dark obliquity of the eyes, as if it said ‘I have an eye on vou,’ and with the lowering eyebrow is combined a cruel expression of the lower part of the face. In rage the eyebrows are knit, the eyelid lifted and the eyeballs glare. Thereis a general tension of the muscles. The effect on the countenance may be seen more plainly in the feminine than the masculine face. “Itis by the habit of expression that the countenance 1s improved or degraded. If hardship, misfortune and care are_ there expressed habitually, what we admire the most is lost. Peace, comfort and happiness keep the features mobile and ready to con- form as an index of the mind to the senti- ment we love.” Professor Ardley illustrated his lecture with & large number of clever sketches. - Massey in Tears.
