THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1896. AST week was a week of weddings. It seems a happy coincidence that the season which was so brilliantly inaugurated by several fashion- able weddings should have a nura- ber of stylish marriages to lend eclat to its closing weeks. Good raste cha racterized all three of the fashionable weddings, two of which—the Grant 1 on Monday evening and the Jarboe-Bull on Thursc morning—were solemnized at St. Luke’ r'he wedding of Miss Ella Goad ana C. Osgood Hooker on Wednesday was a| fashionable home crush. Five hundred invited guests witnessed the ceremony and offered their congratulations to the happy young counle. were displayed on the upper floor of the Goad mansion, were without doubt the handsomest ever seen in this City. They came from all over the world and com- prised the latest conceits in celain, silverware and bric- One | large table alone was devoted to the cut glass, which represented a fortune in | itself. Among the many elegant giits the lamp | y Mr. and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs was greatly admired. It is of 'l'lf[anyl glass, the now so stylish crystal and gold | effect, and of which but very few have as | yet been seen on this co Another much admired present was the medallion brooch surrounded with dia- monds—gems of the purest water—the gift | of Mr.and Mrs. Lioyd Tevis. Dr. Harry Tevis senta most artistic diamond spray with white aigrette, a fashionable hair | ornament. | The coming week will keep those 1n the | swim quite as bu the.preceding ones. | There are to be large luncheons and re- ceptions, besides seve minor euntertain- ments. To-morrow evening the Monday Even- ing Dancing Class will give its last dance of this season, preparations for which bave been made on rather a more elabo- | rate scale than the previous affairs of this | club. ! On Friday evening the Friday Night | Dancing Class will close its season with a | s, there was quite a number of delightful affairs, one of the most charming of which was given yesterday (Saturday) afternoon by Miss Edith McBean and the Misses | Williams at their apartments at the Richelieu. It was atea for young people | only, and about 100 young ladies and gen- | tlemen were entertained. 1 apartiuents of Miss McBean and | isses Williams, which open into one | another, were converted into a8 most com- | modious reception room aud prettily deco- rated with fragrant’ flowers, ferns and paims. The ladies received their young | friends sted only by Miss Hobart. The hours of the tea were from 4 till 6. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Lloyd Tevis gave a charming little luncheon. Mrs, | Tevis has been giving a series of these de- lightful affairs at which never more than eight guests are entertained, Yesterday Mrs. Henry T. Scott gavea child’s party at her home, corner of Clay and Laguna streets, complimentary to her little son Harry Scott. Everything was done for the entertainment of the little guests, who spent a most delightful after- noon. The informal entertainment given on Thursday evening by the Concordia Club was one of the most original and enjoyable affairs of the season. The handsome ball- room of the clubhouse was, with the aid of lanterns and palms, converted into a seeming roof garden. The puzzling clause of the invitations, *Bring a plentiful supply of nickels,” was explained by the numerous nickel-in-the- slot machines, which contained -many surprises for the guests. Bill-posters with ‘many hdppy hits at popular members occupied prominent positions in the large hall and the curtain which divided the stage from the sudi- | torium would have gladdened the heart of the most persistent advertising man, The programme, which was furnished entirely by protessional vaudeville artists, was greatly enjoyed by the large anaience present. During the performance music- hall refreshments, beer, sandwich es, etc., were served. The guests at the delightful English high tea given by Miss Catherwood on Sunday evening last were Miss Hobart, Miss Clement, Miss Sherwood, Miss Clark, Miss Smith, Miss Carroll and " Messrs. F. Crocker, Hobart, Hart, Felton, Webster and Clement. Mrs. H. W.

A NEW POINT OF LAW, Real Estate Cannot - Be tained Under False Pretenges. Judge Bahrs &ys the Law Applies Only to Personal Property and Money. Ob- Judge Bahrs has filed an opinion in the case of James H. Cummings, in which he lays down a new principle of law—that there is no such crime as obtaining real property under false pretenses. Cummings was arrested for securing possession of a ranch in Fresno County belonging to Paul F. Pelton. He was | charged with obtaining property under false pretenses, and an information against him was filed. ' His attorney demurred to the information on the ground that it | did not state a public offense, and the de- murrer was sustained by Judge Bahrs, In rendering his decision, Judge Bahrs said: The concluding words or phrase of section 32, viz., “is punishable in the same manner and to the saine extent as for the larceny of the money or property so obtained,” seems to leave no other construction possible than that the Legislature intended to limit the section to that character of property which was subject to larceny. This construction is- aided by the further consideration that, unless this construction is correct, the Legislature hes created an offense for which it has provided no punishment. For, &s Teal property never was nor can it be the subject of & larceny, the statute provides no punishment for the offense of obtaining real property by false pretenses, It cannot be presumed ihat the Legislature created an offense, but failed to provide a pun: ent therefor. Again, the two succeeding sections of the Penal Code, viz.: 533 and 534, treat of land and real estate in terms which establish another aid to the construction that real estate was not intended to be included in the word property, as used in_section 532 of the Penal Code. Again, the history of this character of offense seems to remove all doubtes to the character of vroperty to which it was intended to apply. One of the earliest English statutes recites that “a failure of justice frequently arises from the subtle distinction between larceny and fraud.” This_recital shows clearly that the statute was originally intended to operate only &s to such property as was subject to & larceny. In North Carolina it has beén expressly held that the false pretense act does not extend to the conveyance of land. Our own Supreme Court has by implication ruled the same way (Peo- ple vs. Reed, 70 Cal., 533). The inference that section 532 has no sppli- cation to the conveyance of Jand seems irre- sistible, and for that reason the demurrer to the information must be sustained. DATE OF THE DEBATE. California and Stanford to Meet for This Year’s Public Forensic Contest on April 18. A committes of arrangements for this year's Californie-Stanford intercollegiate debate met at the Palace Hotel yesterday afternoon to decide upon the date of the contest and the manner of choosing the judges. P. H. Dam was Berkeley’s recresenta- tive and'B. F. Bledsoe, R. J, Wardall and R. J. O'Neill were present as delegates from Palo Alto. contention, to hold the public exhibition of forensic ability in Metropolitan Temple on a Baturday night and April 18 was fixed upon as the date, 5 Each university will name one judge, subject to the approval of the other uni- versity, and the third judge will be chosen by the tyo universities together. It is Tobable that all the judges will be well- nown lawyers of Ban ?rmciseo. Two years ago the judges were subjected to some broadside and scathing criticism from the classic slo of Berkeley after they had decided in favor of Stanford; and it is the intention of both sides this year to guard against accusations of judicial pr'fl;x;:mc. 3 i e debaters already chosen on com- etitive trials will rEEr;nnt each eolhge. he University of California will probably choose the :‘mfin and Stanford will have BAB TALKS TOTHE WOMEN Some of the Troubles Experi- enced With House Ser- vants. IMPERTINENCE OF THE MAIDS, A Kindly Remembrance of the Old “Mammy” Nurses and Domes- tics Down South, NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 1896.—This is es. sentially a feminine taik. Men can goto the' background—they seldom do much else but form, in their rigid black and white, a background for the beautiful flow- ers in gay, bright colors that, stupidly enough, are called women. It seems as if they deserved a better name. Something that told of their ability to suffer and keep quiet; something that told of their ability to-leugh with their lips when the eyes were burning with tears; something that told of their ability in whatever position they may be placed and of their superiority to men. O, yes, I like men. And Igen- erally stand up for them, but I do that because I feel that they are the weaker vessel. There are times when & woman likes to talk to a woman—yearns for a woman'’s gossip. Likes to hear about the last baby, especially if it is & new one, which, bless its heart! I could squeeze to death for love of it, or the new frock, or just how Jack is being sweet, or the be- havior of the perfect ladies who dominate the kitchen, and dominating the kitchen rule the digestions and, consequently, the entire house. A man with a crooked digestion doesn’t love his wife or his chil- dren, and the woman who has to preside over a badly cooked dinner loses faithin everything, Oh, those kitchen Iadies! That clever writer Herbert Ward spoke of them as ‘‘ciphers in society.” And then he went to prove that just such a cipher, because she listened at the doorway and construed things to suit herself, could send a young, beautiful and well-bred woman to the peni- tentiary for life on circumstantial evi- dence. She thought she saw’the young lady stick the paper-knifeinto her cousin’s neck; she knew they hated each other, and she was certain, 1n her own mind, that this young lady had quarreled and quarreled bitterly with her cousin. And after this lady had lost her youth, her hope and her belief, a dying burglar told how he had killed a man'and used for this pur- pose the sharp paper-knife, which the lady, who had quarreled with her cousin, ha playved with and then dropped on the floor. We were a lot of women together drink- ing chocolate and eating the usual stuff offered at a ladies’ luncheon. - I do believe ladies’ luncheons are arranged in the in- terest of ladies’ physicians. But we have enough of the doctors. I drank ¢ocoa and ate bread and butter, and listened. Diffi- cult? Oh, no, not always. Mme. St. Germain told of the old servants she had; those inherited from her mother, who were devoted to her and who sympathizea with her in every pain and ache. Pretty Mme. Fin de Siecle looked at her with envy. Her servants came from an intel- ligence office, and no matter how good their references were, the results were as nothing, There I am wrong; they amounted to a great deal. The little woman, with a sigh and an unkappy look on her face, said : **My housemaid, to whom I pay enormous wages, came to me to-day and told me that a very expensive cup had parted in her hands. She insisted that she hadn’t broken it, but it just lepp'd’ apart.”’ - She saia it could be taken out of | her wages—her wages for six months would not pay for it. My cook came to me with wonderful references. She had suited Mrs. Blank and Mrs. Dash and Mrs. Head-of-Society so well that I wondered they parted with her, but 1 soon discovered the reason. She had a weakness, not for cooking badly, but for drinking exten- sively. I requested her to leave in a polite way, but as 1 am a chila of the century I deciined to give her a reference. It is queer to me how women will put their names to references given to servants dis- charged for stealing, drinking or absolute inability. *‘ And the consequence was—well,whatdo you think? A letter of six pages came to me, presumably an anonymous letter, but .one in which I'was told that if I didn’t give Maria Ann, that being the melodious name of the cook, a reference, she would tell every one of my friends what she had heard said about them at the din- nertable, and that she would inform my husband that when he was away I had a male visitor. The man was the doctor, and my mother was present during the time, the very short time, in which he managed to rid me of frightful rheumatic pains. What did I do? I took thatletter to the police station, and a gentleman who measured over six feet informed - the per- fect Jady who had formerly presided over my kitchen that unless she stopped this at once she would land in Sing Sing. You see she made a threat that unless I gave Maria Ann a_reference such and sucha tlxixg]g' 'would be done. That made it black- mail. My eves were growing larger and larger, when little Mrs. Couleur de Rose said: Do any of you remember when it was rumored that Jack and I were going to pari? My dear, that wlslheresufi of kindness, The newspapers had my picture and Jack’s picture in them and said that in a very short time there would be a frightful scan- dal in the divorce eourts. Horrible? It was more than horrible. I cried until my nose was red, and when I do that Iam in rief. But Jack braced me up with a lov- ng kiss and a very sincere hug and forced me out with him every afternoon for a mouth either to drive or to walk. The truth was I had brought a maid over with me the last time I wasin Paris. When I engaged her she asked me: ‘Will madame pay me $25 a month and give me her cast- off clothes to sell, or will she pay me $30a month and keep her clothes for her poor relations?’ “I laughed, as an American woman might, and told her that I would give her $30 and that she would get the clothes, t00. That is where I was a fool. Then never dreamed of locking my desk up, and after events proved that she read every letter 1 got. One day she was very im- ?emnem; she had been rather impolite or some time, but this special day she said, ‘If madame wishes to meet Monsieur Charlie I will arrange for it.’ Well, I ordered her out of the room, refused to see her again, told the butler to pay her her wages, and put_her out of the house. As Madame Fin de Siecla says, the consequence was—this. She knew by sight and by name the vari- ous reporters who used to come to It was finally agreed, after long partisan. ask about our dinners and dances, and she sought every one of them out, and told them that my husband and I bad quar- reled, that I was in love with a fair-haired man named Charlie, and hinted that they could easily fit it to a well-known club- man. As you girls all know, my brother Charlie was desperately in love at that time with Miss K:lllionaxre. He did not dare to write to her, as her people objected to him for he was poor. But he wrote the letters to me, and as her name and mine happens to be the .same, I ased to tear off the envelope, throw the letter on the desi, and later in the day forward it to_Ethel Millionaire by special messenger. During the short time these letters reposed on my desk this French devil had an oppertunity to read them, and she was so vicious nerself that she thought no woman could love herown husband, but must have an affair with some other man. Of course there are plenty of people ‘who will always believe that I did some- ing dreadful; in reality, I only hel two love-lorn people, Who are now mar: to each other, and have forgotten that I was ever any use to them. Curious how people forget.” I thought of my old maminy ’way down South, who had nursed my father, and who, whenever there was. trouble in the family, went to that one who was most unhappy. We used to say of her. “‘Aunt Julie never knows of anything unpleasant in the family except to those who are in the trouble.” When she got to be very, very old, we who had been her babies put together and paid for a house, and gaye her alittle income. When it comes to thirty or forty men and wemen to make. up an allowance, nobody need give very much, and when I went to my Southern home on a visit it was my greatest de- light to drink tea with Aunt Julie, for, though she was half blind, she refused to sit down with me—she had too much | pride for that—but her great-granddaungh- ter waited on me. There are no preserves like hers nowadays, there is no such zolden corn bread, and I don’t believe any- bpgy ever knew how to cook coffee as she | aid. Then when_ the day of death .came we were ali there, and women and men who hadn’t seen each_other for ten or twenty vears shook hands at her grave and re- membered the years gone by. And she was laid to sleep at the foot of her mis- tress, and I believe she hoped that when the ‘resurrection day came she would be allowed to wait upon her, for that would be heaverrto her. Where are these] servants nowadays? Money cannot buy them. What is the matter with the women in our kitchen and the women who nurse our children? They have no respect for the mistress who cares for them, they have no love for the children they nurse, and everything is a matter of dollars and cents. Whose is the fault?’ Icannot believe jthat it is entirely with the mistress. 5 2 Not long ago a dear friend of mine hired a maid; four weeks after she came to the house she was struck down witi typhus, not typhoid, fever. During her long ill- ness ghe was faithfully nursed by her mis- | tress; when she was able to go out in the | fresh air her mistress took her in her own carriage; when strength had’ fully re- turned to her she gave her mistress a | month’s notice. | The too kind woman looked at her and | said: “Why, Mary, how can you leave me when I have cared for you through all your sickness?’’ ““That is the very reason,” she answered ; “if you had been as much of alady asl thought you were when I hired myself to you, you wouldr’t have done it.”” A less flagrant case was this: - An Eng- lish laay was told by her own maid that she would not come to America with her. As she had been very kind to her she dis- charged her, and took one who brought good recommendations, into which she in- quired carefully. Before leaving London she paid £5 to have her taught hairdress- ing and £10 to make her an adeptin mani- curing. All the way over the maid was sick, and so of no use to her mistress. Her first month was up two days after | landing. When she was paid she said: | “You will have to get somebody else; Iam | 0ing to leave this afternoon.” An abso- | ul: cross-questionicg brought out the truth. She felt sure that this lady would have her properly trained for a first-class maid, and that it would cost her nothing to come over. And the consequence was, as | Madame Fin de Siecle says, that a lady | used to having a maid wait upon her was left without one in a strange country. Is gratitude an unknown quantity ? Just ‘ among ourselves, you and that other woman and me, we three women together, I think it is. *“Thank you' is said as one says “Good morning,” but it is usually | for a nosegay, the picking up of afan or | a handkerchief. Itisnot in appreciation of the real kindnesses of life. It is true | that when we do what isright and woman- | ly we ought not to want “Thank you”; but, alas we are only women, and we like gratitude expressed in some way. Men. laugh at us for expecting it. The best of them do what is right, and are sat- isfied because they have.done it, but we women, well, we are a little weaker, and when we deny ourseives some good thing for somebody else’s sake, when we give the hbeipipg hand to somebody, or when we aid somebody by making the rough path of life a little bit easier to tread, we iike to think that what we do is appre- ciated. "And we think so much of a ?m.le bit of gratitude. A woman can nurse the | man she loves through a long illness—she may get no rest, she may get no change, and the sickroom will be "her abiding place, day in and day out; but she is satis- fied, oh! so thoroughly satisfied, if, when that man is well, he puts his arm abont | ber and whispers some loving words that tells of appreciation. But nine times out | of ten, men take the service of women for granted. A woman may take two or three of her old frocks, brush them and freshen them, make them over into one nice one and hand them to that poorrelation who needs a gown. And if the recipient will only say, “I was glad to get the frock, fcr T know vou put yourseif to much trouble about it, and I thank you,” then the busy days will be as nothing, and that woman’s heart will be full of hnfpiness for many, many days. It is true, I suppose, that the good deed out to be enouga i itself: but you know we are only human. Only those poor, miserzble creatures who can stand pain that would kill men, who can face troubles that men would fall down before, and who are true—true always to the people they love. Weshed tears about nothing—but oh! how fine we are when Teal trouble comes. I often wonder if mankind will ever realize the greatness of & womanly woman—if they will know what it means to be mothers, daughters and wives, with all the small woes and the §reat troubles attached to each vocaiion. suppose not. When they do, when they realize all that a real woman can suffer for dear love’s sake, can suffer with a smile, they will fall down and worship her; but that will be when the millennium comes. However, I do believe that when it ar- rives there will be a collection of worship. ing men around you and your neighbor and Bas. HS WAVELOLS ESCHPE Resultof an Early Morning Shoot- ing Affray in Quincy Alley. John Wilson Fired at by Thomas Nolan and Saved by a Buttcn on His Trousers. Thomas Nolan, a laborer, was arrested at an early hour yesterday morning on Pine street by Policeman J. M. Dwyer on the charge of assault to murder. Dwyer, while patrolling his beat, heard a pistol shot from the direction of Quincy alley. Heran toward the alley and met a young man who was running at full speed followed by Nolan, with a revolver in his hand. Dwyer called upon the flee- ing young man to -stop, and at the same time grabbed Nolan. As he did so Nolan raised the revolver and Dwyer shouted: “Don’t shoot; I'm an officer!"” Before he could grasp Nolan’s right hand, Nolan deliberately fired at the young man and he dropped to the ground. Dwyer promptly wrested the revolver from Nolan and turned him over to policeman Jerry Dinan, who had arrived on the scene. The young man who was shot said his name was John Wilson. A hasty examin- ation showed that he had had'a miracu- lous esca) from death. The bullet had penetrated the outer edge of his coat, torn a crease along the vest and striking a but- ton upon his trousers was deflected down- ward and passed out at the bottom of his trousers without grazing his skin. Both young men iive in Oakland and at- tended the Green-Needham prizefight on Friday night. They were both drunk and ‘Wilson was charged with disturbing the veace. He told the officers that he was walking through the alley when Nolan at- tempted to rob him. Yesterday after he got sober he said he had no recollection of the affair as he was too drunk at the time. Nolan refused to say anything as to the cause of the trouble. ‘When the case against Wilson was | called in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday g morning he pleaded guilty and the Judge postponed _sentence till Thursday, re- manding Wilson into the custody of the police. Nolan’s preliminary examination on the charge of assault to. murder was fixed for Thursday. Wilson's attorney claimed that postpon- ing his sentence till Thursday was simply & subterfuge to evade the recent decision by Judge Wallace in the Proctor case to the effect that witnesses cannot be held in prison prior to a preliminary examination. e intends to apply for a.writ of habeas corpus. e Pacific Heights Won the Game.
