16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1896. BAPTISM OF A PRINCE. The Infant Poniatowski Chris- tened in the Catholic Faith, BY ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN. A Promise Made to the Church in Paris Was Hereby Fulfilled by the Princess. A Prince born to the house of Poniatow- ski was christened in the Roman Catholic faith last Sunday by Archbishop Riordan. This event led to the circulation of a rumor that the Princess, becoming enam- ored of the controversy between Father Yorke and advyersaries, was so earnestly and profundly impressed with the log{cnl truth of the revercnd father's position that she had renounced her allegiance to the Episcopal faith and embraced the doc- trines of the church of Rome. Itis said that Rev. Dr. Foute endeavored to im- press on her mind that the worship of the Virgin Mary was really a form of idolatry, but the Princess was not convinced. It is a fact that the infant son of the Prince and Princess was christened last Sunday by Archbiskop Riordan, but it does not turn out to be true that the Prin- cess has renounced her loyalty to the doc- tri of the Episcopal faith, and more- over it does not appear that such renunci- ation is contemplated. William H. Crocker was asked yesterday how much truth there was in the rumor, and he said: *It is true that the infant of Prince and Princess Poniatowski istened by Archbishop Riordan was yesterday afternoon, but this is how it came about: When Miss Sperry and the Prince were married there were three cere- monies in Paris. The first was the civil form in accordance with the laws of France, on the following day they were married according to the form of the Epis- copal church, of which the Princess is a member, and of the Catholic church, to which the Prince’s family belong: “As for the Prince himself he is liberal in his views, but according to the custom of the Catholic church the Princess was obliged to promise that if any children should be born of the marriage they should be baptized in the Roman Catholic faith, and in line with that promise the baby was christened by Archbishop Riordan. “There was no display or ceremony and no change of religious convictions. The Princess 1s an Episcopalian now and will vropably adhere to that faith aslongas she lives. That is all there is in the story The Princess accorded TuE CALL an in- terview yesterday and of the ceremony of christening said: “The christening took place at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the Archbishop’s residence. it was very simple through- No special robe was worn by ‘the i. He was dressed simply in a little white coat. Two priests assisted the Right Rev. Archbishop Riordan in the ceremonies, which were brief, and only immediate members of the family were present. “The godfather was Count Le Hon, a cousin of the Prince. The child’s bap- tismal name is Stanislaus August Ponia« towski.” The Princess said, in reply to questions, that no golden cup or presents of any other description were given. The young Prince, who i3 less than three months old, was not embarrassed in the least by the ceremony. When one of the lighted candles held by an acolyte came within easy distance he attempted to grasp it. The Fourth of July spirit evinced by the youngster in trying to grasp a candle excited the admiration of his uncle, Will Crocker. As the Prince and Princess and Mr. and Mrs. Crocker were about to leave, the Archbishop said: ‘“Here, let me give the little fellow a present,” and accordingly Stanislaus August Poniatowski received a prayer-book. The name Stanislaus August, which will probably be abbreviated by young Ameri- cans to “‘Stan’’ or *‘Gus,” is derived from an illustrious King of Poland. AWAY IN THE FAR NORTH, “From San Francisco Through the Golden Gate to Alaska and Back.” out. An Interesting Lecture Before the Pioneers by the Father of the Yosemite. The lecture hall of the Society of Cali- fornia Pioneers was well filled last even- ing by an assemblage of pioneers and their friends, who had gathered to listen to the third of the present course of Lick lec- tures. The lecture was an illustrated one en- titled, “Through the Golden Gate to Alaska and Return via California,” and the lec- turer was J. M. Hutchings, the man who eave to the world the first description of Yosemite Valley, and when introduced by President Tilden was presented as *“The Father of the Yosemite.” The lecturer, after expressing his pleas- ure at seeing so many who had braved the inclemency of the weather to hear what he would say, spoke of Alaska, and how the Government had purchased it for a paltry $7,250,000, and had more than been reim- bursed in the amount paid annually by the Alaska Commercial Company. ““This country,” said the speaker, “isa most wonderful one, being rich in fish- eries, mines of gold and minerals and af- fords a fine opportunity for the energy and enterprise of our young men. But it is the duty of the Government to see that this Territory be kept from the hands of speculators and that it be turned over only to actual settlers. The Perkins bill for lhedis(rosn.ion of landsin Alaska may be a good one, but it should be closely scrutinized to see that there is not some- thing in it that will give speculatorsan opportunity to grab all the land and then sell it to settlers at a great advance. “The extreme western end of the Terri- tory, the Aleutian Islands, is further from San Francisco than the State of Maine is from the same city. The climate on the coast line 13 by reason of the Japanese current much warmer than ter- ritory in the same latitude on the Atlantic seaboard. The most pleasant months are May, June and July, and thcse who want to visit our far-north possessions should do s0 in those months—that is, if they go for pleasure. In August and September it rains almost incessantly, and in those months people flounder in mud and water. In some places the rainfall is 40 inches, and it rains for 150 days, while in Sitka the rainfall is from 60 to 90 inches a season, with from 190 to 285 rainy days during the year. California is said to be the ‘para- dise for tenderfeet,’” but surely Alaska is the ‘paradise for the webfeet.’” The lecturer paid a glowing tribute to the United States Government and the Geographical Survey for what had been done in the way of scientific research in that country, and particularly in the ex- ploration of the Malaspina glacier, which covers an area of 1500 square miles. p Then by means of a great number of pic- tures thrown on the canvas the lecturer took his audience through the Golden Gate, showing them familiar City scenes and views of the bay to the Farallone Is- lands, giving them views of many points of interest on those lonely points, scenes by moonlight on the bay and ocean, the Malaspina glacier, and explained the hard- ships of Russell' Cook on his voyage of discovery there. He showed them many views of Alaska, including Sitka, the Treadwell nine, the wonderful forest grow- ing on a morain that rests on a sub- strata of ice, scenes on the Columbia River, in the Siskivou Mountains, Mount Shasta, the sources of the Sacramento River, of the orange belt near Chico, scenes in Sonoma and Napa valleys, and closed with the ferry landing in this City by night. The leeturer. who was frequently ap- plauded, declared that the time allotted him vprecluded a lecture such as the sub- ject merited, and added that California and the north had all the beautiful scenery that any one could possibly wish to see. BEVERSED D AFFIMIED Two Supreme Court Decisions in the Sternberg Cases. By a Small Technicality Sternberg May Escape Three Good Years in Prison. The Supreme Court has in two decisions affirmed and denied the rulingof Judge Wallace in the cases of Louis Sternberg. In the first case, one in which Sternberg was accused of falselyregistering A. Gutman,the Supreme Cotirt has affirmed the order deny- ing & new trial; in the other one, in which the registration charge was based upon the name of David Newman, the order deny- ing a new trial was reversed. In the Gutman case the exceptions were to the ruling of the court regarding certain instructions to the jury. The instructions asked for by the defense were that Newman and Samuel Lusk, two of the witnesses in the case, were accomplices. Both Newman and Lusk were also the principal witnesses in the charge of falsely registering New- man. Judge Wallace held that neither Lusk nor Newman were accomplices in the Gutman registration, and he therefore re- fused to charge the jury to that effect. He held that there was no evidence to in any way connect them as accomplices in that particular case. As this was the principal ground for the motion for a new trial which had been de- nied, the Supreme Court aflirms the deci- sion of the lower court, holding that Judge Wallace was correct in refusing 1o give the instructions asked. In the Newman case the reversal was based upon instructions to the jury offered by the defense and refused by the Judge. The defense asked for three instructions, two of which the court held it wasan error not to submit to the jury. The first of these two instructions was that the tes- timony of an accomplice should be viewed with distrust and caution. The second was that corroborative evidence meant ad- ditional evidence of a different character to the same point. These instructions Judge Wallace refused to deliver, and the Supreme Court held that this was fatal error. Judge Wallace had previously instructed the jury that in this case Gutman and Lusk” were not sccomplices, but that Newman was an accomnvlice. The court held that these instructions, being us to matters of fact, were erroneously delivered, but as the error was entirely in favor of the defendant counsel for the defense could not take advantage of it. Sternberg had been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment on each charge, and it is not probable that he will be again tried upon the reversed verdict in the New- man case. He will very probably be made to serve the full term on the Gutman charge and the Newman charge will be al- lowed to lapse. COULD TALK ENGLISH. A Boy Peddler May Be Adjudged Guilty of Contempt for Demanding an Interpreter. George Hollumas, a boy peddler, nar- rowly escaped being adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Judge Joachimsen yesterday afternoon. He was on trial for peddling without a license. When he took the witness-stand his at- torney, A. B. Treadwell, asked for a Greek interpreter, as the boy, he alleged, did not understand the English langnage. The deputy license inspector who arrested the boy said he talked well enough when placed under arrest. The Judge asked the boy if he could talk English and the boy shook his head. An interpreter was hunted up, and at the close of the examiuation Treadweil asked the boy, “You have often driven the cart, haven’t you?” Before the interpreter could put the question the boy blurted out, “Why, certainly.” The Judge looked severely at him for a moment, while Pros- ecuting Attorney Dare urged that he should be adjudged guilty of contempt of court. ‘‘He has put us to considerable an- noyance,” said the Prosecuting Attorney, “and wasted the time of the court and should be punished for it."’ The Judge convicted him of peddling without a license and ordered him to ap- pear for sentence to-day, when he may take some action on the suggestion of the Prosecuting Attorney. 0DD FELLOWS' LIBRARY. An Effort Being Made to Awaken an Interest in Tt. ‘When the Odd Fellows’ Library of this City, which has on its shelves over 44,000 volumes, including many of the most valuable books of reference obtainable, was reincorporated in 1870, without capital stock, it was resolved to maintain it by the City lodges paying yearly $2 per capita. From time to time of late years one lodge and another withdrew its support and the directors, believing that it is too valuable a collection of books to pass out of the control of the Odd Fellows, sent an appeal a short tirme ago to each of the thirty-one subordinate lodges in this City to send representatives to a_mneeting to be held for the purpose of devising ways and means to continue the library. The meet- ing was held last Saturday night, when eiglh'.een lodges were represented. Each delegate expressed himself in favor of adding his individual effort to the object sought to be attained. The following-named were appointed a committee to report at the next meeting a plan of og;rnion: George T. Shaw, W. H. Barnes, T. Creswell, James Linforth, E. H. Black, A. Btreet and Mr. Garrett. ——————— DAIRYMEN'S MEETING. A State Convention to Be Held at Peta- luma To-Morrow. The California Dairy Association is to hold a convention at Petaluma to-morrow, in conjunction with a meeting of Pomona Grange of Sonoma County. Professors E. J. Wickson and M. E.Jaffa of the State University will lecture on scientific feed- ing and several dairymen will speak.

AN INVIGORATING PLEASURE. The Landscape Artist Does the Un. usual Thing of Jumping on His Own Pictures. Stanton may, perhaps, know how to paint pictures of the shoreof Brittany, Joullin is beyond a doubt a good judge of sand when he sees it, and Arthur Mathews may know that the sun is yellow, and Willis Polk may be able to distinguish black from white, but Keith, William Keith, landscape artist, overtops them all. William Keith paints pictures with his feet—and good ones, too. Any time in the day now one can go into Keith's studio and witness him in the act of producing a deep, shady forest, with a vista of blue | sky in the distance, and all he uses to bring about a wonderful impressionistic result is a pair of number nine feet. There | is not even anything up his sleeve. Mr. Keith was visited yesterday, and the caller found him in the actof painting | Mount Tamalpais in the evening. He was greatly elated over the fact that he had almost finished a sunrise picture, with the Alameda hills in the background, and was in a very talkative mood. “Now you see,” said the artist, by way of explanation, “this is the only way to get quality. Just look at that effect | there,” holding up a piece of matting- | board that looked like the label off u‘ tures down on the floor and Iet patrons walk on them for a while, after which they will be varnished, framed and sold at the regular rates as *‘footprints.” Everybody will then be able to decorate his parlor with impressionistic paintings that will be impossible of duplication. There will be no stock chestnuts and every man will be his own decorator. Men and women with big feet will be in de- mand, and Chicago will become the art center of the world. SEEKING VENGEANCE. Enrique Cano, a Jeweler, Creates a Scene in Judge Low’s Court and Is Arrested. Enrique Cano, a jeweler, was arrested outside Judge Low’s courtroom yesterday morning on a warrant at the instance of Q_."Rul!s, charging him with threats to ill. Rulfs keeps alodging-house at Oak street and Van Ness avenue. Some months ago Cano, who was one of Rulfs’ lodgers, was forcibly ejected, because he refused to pay | the rent due, and his_household goods i thrown into the street. Cano vowed venge- ance and shortly afterward swore out three’\\‘m‘ran tsin Judge Low’s court for Rulfs’ arrest on charges of forcible entry. | The landlord was arrested and released on bail. The cases hung fire in the Police Court, and Cano, who saw po reason for the law’s delay, carried his grievance before the last Grand Jury, but no indictments were re- turned. The new Grand Jury had hardly assumed its duties when Cano appeared before it and told the story of his supposed wrongs. Thus far no action has been < BRICK RED WILLIAM KEITH FINDS IT PROF PICTU ITABLE TO JUMP ON HIS OWN JRES. tomato can. ‘‘There is the groundwork of | a great piece of color. It looks common now, and you would not imagine that it could be made into a magnificent land- scape by & tew simple mo feet. 1 will show you in just a moment | that the art of landscape painting is as yet | unknown to civilization. Talk about Church and Turner. They are mere in- fants in the business. Watch me.” Mr. Keith then took a combination of colors from his paint-tubes and spread | them all over his palette. He then scram- bled them around with his knife and | transferred them in a reckless way to two | pieces of matting-board that had pre- | viously been arranged with what the artist | called “‘the ground work.”” After complet- | ing this preliminary operation he cast his | paints aside and stuck the two pices of matting together, emeared sides in. | *Now,” he continued, “I will show you the elements of impression. Just stand off to one side, where vou can see me in the act of getting results. Don’t get ex- cited; T am perfectly cool myself, so don't | get unstrung at what you are about to | witness. I am a little sick to-day, but I guess I can get a picture if things go right. Are you ready to see something great?” “Yes,” answered the visitor, expect- antly. “All right; here goes.” With that, Mr. Keith, William Keith, the idol of the land- scape students, the most productive painter on the coast, the disciple of the | old masters,laid the two sheets of matting- | paper upon the floor, and with the agilit of an Apache Indian began a war dance | on them, He skipped from corner to cor- | ner and in all directions of the compass, | until his feet had traversed the entire sur- 1ace of the board. Presently he stepped to one side, moleed the perspiration off his forehead an J)icked up the sheets with a trembling hand. *“We will now see what the result | is,” said he, and straightway separated | the pieces, which came apart with a noise | like a North Beach kiss. “Ah-h-h- he | exclaimed, holding the vproduction at arm’s length. ‘‘Great, magnificent. By George, that’s the way to get effects. See the trees, the pathway leading into the wcods, the — and by the eternal, there's | a cow, and a strip of water, and some au- | tumn leaves, as well a fine sky effect. See the sunlight breaking through the leaves. | Look at it. Wonderful, wonderful! Did | you ever see anything so delicate as that | quality over there by the hillside? Look, look! Try one more.” | In his excitement Mr. Keith prepared | another pair of matting-sheets, and before the visitor could catch his breath the artist | was jumping all over the place again. He | pranced around like a happy schoolboy and looked at the production through squinted eyes, holding it in every conceiv- able position until the best effect was | brought out. “I know I ought mnot to do this when I am not well, but I can’t help it,” he ventured by way of explanation, ‘“and then the fun of seeing the way things | will shape themselves is sufficient compen- sation for the failures. “I have tried it many times and have in some cases made goog pictures. It gives me ideas and I work around the ideas. I have made some of the most startling things with my feet, and believe I have struck something that is worth following up. Now here is a result that I got yester- day.” He then produced a small picture that at first looked like a depository for all the refuse paint in the studio, but after a little study it presented qualities that an artist could not secure designedly if he worked a thousand years. Keith looked at ‘it lovingly 2 moment, and finally concluded to give it another coat nndd‘ump on it some more, which he proceeded to do with all the activity he could command. This sort of amusement is a regular thing for Keith nowadays, and is ai the tame time healthful and invigorating. He hopes in time to perfect a new school art where the painter can throw his pic- I | tionality, color or religious belief. taken and Cano has been haunting the City Hall waiting for his vengeance. Yesterday morning the cases against Rulfs were called in Judge Low’s court and Cano created a scene. He wanted to recite the story of his wrongs 1n open court and the bailiff had to take him in hand, As he left the courtroom he was arrested on the warrant sworn out by Rulfs. Judge Low expressed the belief that Cano’s mind was affected, but he subsequently signed an order for his discharg THE MAHYflL_P HOSPITAL The Late Mrs. Kate Johnson's Noble Legacy to the Sick Poor. The Institution to Be Generously En- dowed and Free to Women and Children. Before long the list of the City's char- itable institutions will be augmented by the opening of Mary Help Hospital, the endowment of which was bequeathed by the late Mrs. Kate Johnson. Dr. Luke Robinson, one of the directors of the new hospital, when asked yesterday whether work on the buildings would soon be com- menced, said: We have on hand a considerable amount, but do not feel warranted in commencing to build until we are sure how much_money we are go- ing to have. The Gibraltar Warehouses will be part of the ianded endowment, the rents form- ing a considerable portion of the hospital's revenues. We are at present putting the ware- houses into first-class condition, in order that they may yield a steady income and be no charge upon the endowment for some years to come. 1.do not care to spenk positively as to the ex- act amount which we expect to receive; but I imagine it will be in the neighborhiood of £400,000. At all events, we shall get one-third of the estate after the partitio and distribu- tion. The winding-up of the estate takes a considerable amount of time. For example, there is one large property which has yet to b sold and the proceeds divided among nineteen heirs. Hence we cannot begin to build at | present nor in the immediate future, but I trust we may be able to commence before the | lapse of another year. Chis hospital will be unique among the charitable institutions of the City. Itis to be absolutely free to women and children, with- out any distinction being made as to their na- Men will not be received, even though willing to pay. In fact, one of Mrs, Johnson's dying commands Wwas to the effect that no paying patients be ad- mitted under any circumstances whatever, and that all seryices, medical attendance, food, ]!mlxlnenl ana medicine be supplied gratui- ously. The hospital 1s to be conducted by the Gra Nuns, or Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, a well- known order of hospital sisters deservedly popular in France ead in Canada, where they iave charge of the Hotel Dieu at Quebec and the General Hospital at Montreal, besides a large number of infirmaries.

Stone Brought Forward to Dispute General Friedrich's Promotion. The annual election: of officers for the Union League Club will take place to-day. The voting will begin at 1r. M. ard close at 8 p. M. Since the regular ticket and the members’ ticket were published in THE Cair a few davs ago General W. H. Dimond has announced that he is nota candidate for president of the club. No doubt there was a design upon the part of certain members of the organization to use General Dimond’s popularity to divide the strength of General Friedrich’s forces, but when General Dimond saw the situa- tion in its true light he would not consent to stand as the exponent of the faction which proposed to cast aside an honored custom of the club in order to deprive General Friedrich of promotion from the grst vice-presidency to the office of presi- ent. The opponentsof General Fiederich. con= sisting of a few ex-Federal office-holdersand two or three National Guard staff officers, have changed front now and resorted to the tactics of introducing a third ticket to complicate the voting, and have rallied around Colonel George A. Stone, one of General Sheehan’s directors of the Peo- ple’s Home Bank. They hope to bring out | of the confusion a board of directors that will elect Colonel Stone president of the club. John F. Sheehan, ex-adjutent gen- eral, ex-Registrar of the United Siates Land Office and the present receiver of the People’s Home Bank, is said to be a warm advocate of Stone’s election. Ex-United States Pension Agent Currier is a brother officer of Colonel Stone on the staff of General Dimond, and is also campaigning with some activity. An election in the Union Club signifies something to a vast legion of Republicans in California who cannot afford the Juxury of club membership. These voters are proud to see a social organization of lead- | ing Republicans maintained and feel that the club can exert a great deal of influence toward party success. They know as a | dead sure fact, however, that several of the most notorious and successful seekers of Federal office, who have lost their follow- ing in the Grand Army and Loyal Legion, are now playing the Union League Club as their last card to win favor at Washington under the next Republican President. If this office-seeking crowd wins the useful- | ness of the Union League as a forcein harty leadership will be greatly impaired. %“he foregoing sentiments are freely ex- pressed by Republicans who ate not mem- bers of the organization, but whose loyalty | to Republican principles is unquestioned. | Since the Union League Club was fonnd- | ed it has been the custom to promote the first vice-president to the honors of the residency. In all the years of the club’s Rxc this rule has not been violated, but now it is proposed to make an exception against General Friedrich, and to accom- plish this purpose the rules of courtesy in nominating the regular tickct were vio- lated. When a director has been chosen by the board to fill a vacancy it has been the invariable rule to place that director on the regular ticket for the full term next | ensuing. Arthur W. Spear and Charles | M. Shortridge were chosen to fill vacancies | on the existing board, yet both were | ignored by the manipulators of the regular | ticket for the obvious reason that they | could not be used to down General Fried- rich. The argument is used that General | Robert A. Friedrich did not come to Cali- fornia in 1849. Yet he was here as a citizen of California to make public| speeches for the Republican cause during t{:e Markham-Pond campaign five years | ago. 1In every campaign since he has been | aleader and a worker. He is an ex-vet- eran of the Union army, a comrade of George H. Thomas post, G. A. R.. and a | high-minded, worthy citizen. If the Union | League wants a better man for a president it will have to go a long way to tind him. There was no commotion or excitement about the clubrooms last evening, but the impression existed that a large vote would be polled to-day. : General Friedrich was seen last evening, but again courteously declined to discuss the election. He acknowledged, however, that he had received friendly messages from many non-resident members and personal assurances of support from very many members who live in the City. The following names compose the Mem- bers’ ticket, which is supposed to be favor- able to General Friedrich’s promotion in regular order: Charles M. Shortridge, Samuel W. Backus, Robert A. Friedrich, Daniel T. Cole, Arthur W. Spear, John J. Wirtner, Frank A. Vail, George H. Pippy, W. D. Sanborn, Charles G. Clinch, Harry NEW TO-DAY.
