Several persons called at the Morgue yesterday and offered opinions as to the identity of the burglar who was shot and killed by Frank J. Miller at the residence of J. L. Franklin, 2930 California street, early Saturday morning. F. 0. Jacques, living at 910 Pacific street, declared that the dead man was known to him as “Frisco Slim.” He knew the deceased as a tramp, and it was only a short time ago when he met him in the country. F. K. Eickborst, in whose saloon_ at Greenwich and Pierce streets Frank Nev- ille, a carpenter, was shot and killed on November 17 last, says that the dead barglar was Neville’s slayer. Captain Lees, however, asserts that the saloon man is mistaken, that the murderer of Neville 1s still alive, and he hopessome day to arrest and convict him of the crime, The body is still at the Morgue. It was viewed by hundreds of people yesterday. MALONEY CHARGES FRAUD The Turfman Sues Colonel Theo- dore. C. Marceau, the Photographer. Says He Paid $223 Under Duress and Through Fraudulent Repre. sentations. A suit was filed in the Justices’ Court yesterday against Colonel Theodore C. Marcean, the photographer, in which the ex-National Guardsman is charged with fraudulently obtaining a warrant for the arrest of J. H. Maloney, the turfman. Maloney ordered a quantity of photo- graphs from Marceau in March, 1895, and refused to accept them when they were de- livered on the ground that they were a strikingly poorlikeness and badly finished. On March 30, when he wasabout to leave the Palace for the train on which he was to depart for the East, he was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Marceau charging him with the intention of leaving the State to defraud his creditors. ‘While under arrest he says that the pho- tographer took advantage of the fact that he had fully arranged to leave at once for the East on important business and had no time to delay and consult an attorney and extorted $223 from him as payment for the pictures in spite of his violent protest. He was gone six months, and now sues for the return of the $223 alleged to have been paid under duress. The complaint filed yesterday was in part as follows: That plaintiff’s intention soto depart from said City and County of San Francisco was well known and understood by said defendant, nd that said defendant, taking advantage of sald plaintiff’s intention to depart from San Francisco as aforesaid. and fraudulently con- triving to harass, oppress and annoy this plain- tiff aud by means of force and coercion to ex- tort irom’ plaintiff the sum of money herein- after mentioned, he, the said defendant, com- menced an action in the Justices’ Court of the City and County of San_Francisco against the plaintiff herein, falsely charging that this plaintiff was indebted to the defendant herein in the sum of $223 in lawful money of the United States. That said defendant herein on said 30th day of March, 1895, fraudulently made ana caused to be filed in said action an affidavit wherein seid detendant falsely charged that the plain- tiff herein was indebted to said defendant herein in the sum of , 8N that this {,mmm intended to leave the State of California for the purpose and with the in- tention to cheat and defraud him, the seid de: fendant, out of the said sum of money and therenpon and thereby the said defendant by means of such false and fraudulent sta ments and representations, procured an order for the arrest of this plaintiff to be issued out of the Justices’ Court. The complaint also denies that the sum of $223 is due Marceau, and demands the return of the money. In his answer to Marceau’s suit, filed a few days ago, he in- timated that he would sue the photog- rapher for $25,000 damages for the arrest. FOR A GENERAL CLEAN-UP The Civic Federation Still Deter- mined to Suppress the * Dives. 2 Hopes to Secure Conviction in the Pending Pool-Selling Case—Offi- cers on Guard. Rev. Thomas Filben, chairman of the committee on public morals of the Civic Federation, in an interview yesterday con- cerning the latest case brought against the pool-sellers, said he had hopes of a conviction, as the case met all the points upon which the Messenger case failed. The ticket in this case, he said, was bought fifteen minutes to 4 o’clock, imme- diately before the race was run, leaving no room for the defense that the money had been carried to the track and there placed on the horse. Besides, no commission was paid. Then it was a 5-cent bet and the lowest bet taken at the track is §1. In the event of a favorable decision in this case the federation purposes to insist on arrests being made en the same lines and prosecution kept up until the business is stopped. s :*The Civic Federation,” continued Mr. Filben, “is working to bring about a gen- eral clean-up, to remove the odium that the City suffers from the flaunting of vice in the public eye. We have iustituted a close watch on the poker games, pool- rooms and dives generally. We have already put a blockade on Morton street. ‘We have operated successfully against the :‘l)mw places in the tenderloin and China- wn. “These places are not in operation as they were a year or more ago. In this work we have the police and public with us. We have been working quietly, seek- ing an end rather than an advertisement on the way. ““‘We are somewhat disabpointed at the outcome of the ordinance against poker games. Disuict_Atwrneg Barnes prom- ised, if the ordinance failed in any partic- ular, he would prepare another, until he g0t one that did hold. So we expect to See a new one introduced at the next meet- ing of the Board of Supervisors.” e ——————— Lord Lousdale’s hobby is to collect NEW YORK GIRL WORKERS Bab Tells of the Philanthropy of Mrs. Dudlap Hop- kins. HER GRAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN. What It Is Doing for All Classes of Ambitious Ycung Women. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 11, 189%.—An other woman letter. Butit is to that girl- woman who is doing the work of a man, and getting—well, she gets encourage- ment from her woman friends, and she has the somewhat doubtful pleasure of hoping for gratitude in the hereafter. I don’t know how many there are—I am always off where numbers are concerned—but leaving out the girls in the shops and the girls in the big factories, thereare hun- dreds of girls in New York either earning their living or studying to make their living with a pen, a pencil, or the paint brush, on the violin, on the piano, or with that most beautiful of all instruments the human voice. And usually these girls are alone. They come flocking in by the hundreds, hoping as only & girl-woman can hope, with bright eyes and glowing cheeks, for success. Then they started to work, only to discover that it is nearly all work and very little play. That pretty girl who lived in a small town—well, we Wwill call her Dolly Brightness—developed remarkable ability to sketch everybody she saw; her pictures were the delight of the neighborhood; she caricatured all the villagers from the preacher in the pulpit to the funny old doctor and to the small boys in the back pew, who went to sleep, and caricatured them good-naturedly. "Then she painted flowers so well that the neigh- bors declared you could not teli her roses from the real ones. Little by little enough money was saved for her to come to New York and study. She landed at one of the big stations with a bunch of goldenrod, her bag and two bundles, and for the first time she be- gan to realize that she was going to be a stranger in a strange land. The cable-car took her to the house where board had been engaged for her, tne place that was to be her future home; a hall bedroom on the four:h floor. The windows were half the size of those on the floor below, and only one belonged 10 her room. There was a younger than Dolly’s grandfather would have been allowed in her room, and even her grandfather would bave had to have brought a certificate proving his relation- ship to satisfy the landlady, since her idea was always to believe the wrong about a goung girl. Then there was a rattly old ureau with keyholes, but no keys, a tiny basin big enough for the bath of a small kitten, but not_for thatof a well-grown girl, while the jug had its ‘nose broken as 1f it had got disgusted with the smel of stale water. There was one chair, but as the land- lady gleefully said, *‘This room, Miss, is heated.” A gloomy-looking register sug- gested that fact. But when the day came that suggested that a whiif of warm air would be desirable Dolly opened tne reg- ister and got, not heat but the accumulat- ed smells of the various dishes that had been cooked in that house for the last seven years. For this room there was aid §7 a week, which left Dolly with $3 or her expenses, And Dolly, by the by, had much more than the average girl. The parlor, which reminded one of a cemetery vault, had a little sign on the door which said, “Ladies are expected to receive the - friends here. The gas is put out at 10 o’clock.” Why it was called the parlor puzzled Dolly, for she never heard anybody talk there all that long winter; when anyboay did go in they spoke in whispers and behaved as if there was won- der as to the corner in which the coflin stood, ‘While she was working it was all very well, but Dolly was only human, and she wanted a little play. She couldn’t have it there. Itis true, once in a while some of the other girls climbed up the stairs and visited her in the hall room, but that was not a comfortable visit, since Dolly had to let the bed down so that Ler guests might have something to sit on, and that left no room in which to be sociable. Once she told me that she believed her desire to en- joy herself would get the better of her some night, and that she would walk out on the streets and look in the shop win- dows. What will become of Dolly if she does that? My friend, do you know what I wonder? Itisthis: That more girls do not go to the devil, straight, Itisa beau- tiful tribute to their innate gocdness tnat so many of them can look into their mothers’ faces and by that look convince them of their puri!{ and their goodness. But this is all leading up to another story. When a woman is old and rich and ugly it seems as if nature intended her for a philanthropist. But when she is young and handsome and rich and doesn’t call herself a philanthropist, but does the work of a real one, then she is—what? Yes, you have said it—a gift of God. When the New York School of Technical Design was started by Mrs. Dunlab Hopkins her friends laughed, and thought it the fad of a pretty woman tired of society; but time proved that if this was a fad, fads were good things, since 1t resulted in a school where, for a comparatively small sum, a girl may learn to do work with her pencil, or her brush, or with clay; to do work that will sell. Not such work aswe too often see, amateurish to the last degree, and sold by some kindly woman, who doesn’t realize the harm she is doing the .real workers, but who, because somebody needs it, gets §25 for a painted plaque that deserves to be thrown in the fire. The philanthropy of Mrs. Hopkins’ work consisted in making girls understand that their work was only worth what it would fetch in the market, and not the sum given by their friends, or at church raffles. Well, year after year the school grew, until now it stands a monument to the wonderful brain and loving heart of one woman. It is free of debt. From it have come forth the brightest women architects in this country. From it, every week, are sola at the best prices they will bring de- signs for carpet-weaving, designs for wall- paper and designs for boobcovers. The Eu-l who draws carpet designs has learned er work artistically and practically; she knows how the thread works through the loom for a certain kind of car- vet, and she knows the colors and pat- !terns that are most salable, and upon which the greatest profit will be made. So it is through every department. Each girl knows that her work will be judged absolutely according to its merit; conse- quently she works, not only to be an artist but to be a money-maker. The girl artist in the past has, I am sorry to say, too often been a money-beggar, inasmuch as she expected to get many times the value of her picture, because she was a woman, believe in every consideration being shown to women by men, but when a man’s work and a woman’s work stand side by side let the buyer forget@vhich was the woman’s and which the ma®s and buy that which 1s the best. But to return to the school. There is also in this building a lunchroom where for a small price tne worker can get what the worker always geeds——.hct meal in the middle of the ay. ¥ Somebody asks: ‘“What does Mrs. Dun- lap Hopkins get out of all this? Noth- ing. That is, nothing in the worldly sense. Her time and her money have been given and givenr generously, and she is satisfied if her work is a success. That it is, it proves, but another tribute to it i s whips. Some in his possession are worth | the fact that in London they are gettin, $500 eachy i up 8 school just like it and Mrs, H\':pknu8 folding bed, why, I don’t know, as nobody | 1s teaching the kindly Princess Christian, the most broad-minded of the Queen’s daughters, to model a school after this one in New York. But now the girls clamor for more. They say: ‘“You have given usa working place, give us a home! Take us out of ball be rooms, let us realize that we are human beings wiio know how to live and enjoy as well as to work; give usahome!” And the answer to this is that the New York Model Building Company, which is incorporated and consists of two women architects, Miss Gannon, Miss Hand, Mrs, Davis and the New York School of Technical Design, expect to have that home ready in a year. 1t will not be way up beyond Harlem, but it will be in the heart of the city, and, thank heaven, it will be so built that sunshine can reach each room and be lived in. For sunshine i this way: For a bedroom, a sitting- rcom and a baih, the three rooms to be occupied by one woman, the charge will be §5 a week. The bedroom is a good sized one, is light, and so is the parlor. but they are not, of course, the largest rooms in the hotel. For two connecting bedrooms, two parlors and a bathroom, rooms that are to be’ occupied by two women, the Srice will be $3 apiece a week. For two bedrooms that are much larger, two parlors that are much iarger and a very large bathroom, a suite which two women will also occupy, there will be made the charge of $5 each per week. The restaurant prices are to be reasonable, and it is calculated that the entire cost of liv. ing will be but a little more than that pa:d for a ball bedroom, and need only, if one so wishes, be as much. But_the comfort gained will be wonderful. I saw the de- sign, and I know about this. There is the money ready to do it. But still there is another story, and that is the one that appeals to me. Tam not a believer in women'’s clubs, but I am a be- liever in women helping one another. So the busy architects have drawn a design for a clubhouse where there will be a library, a reading-rcom, a gymnasium, several reception-rooms and one large room giver over to the times when there are special meetings or special entertain- ments. Many of New York’s richest women have given not only their approval but their money to this scheme, and are gladly acting on the various committées. A generous giver concealing his or her name has presented to the cluba farm called “Twilight Park,” up_ in the nearby country where the girls can zo for their vacations, when the so-called “Cabin” is built. But to return to the club. It is meant to be for those girl- women who are artists, writers or musi- cians, or who are studying any kind of work and are alone. Itis meant to work somewhat in this way; there will be a committee on hospitality and some other committee with a kindly name, which I do not remember, and when, at any school, the news comes of a student to appear to-morrow, that student will find upon her arrival two or three girls eager in their greetings, and one of them will accom- pany her to her abiding place. iy In this way the stranger will not risk getting on & car for Harlem when she wants to go to Twenty-third street or standing dazed, frightened and alone, a prey for sharpers. The elub girl will tell her what it is wisest for her to do, help her a bit about her arrangements, invite her -to the next social meeting of the club, and in time she will make a place for herself. This club is not going to inquire “Are you a Catholic ora Protestant? Isthere tainted blue blood in yeur veins, or healthy red? Are you rich or are you poor?”’ But in- stead, ‘‘Are you alone and do you want a helping hand, and would you like to be ore of us?” 1t will not be a sin in this club for the girls to have a dance, ana if they choose Lo get up private theatricals or a little concert, or a2 burlesque exhibi- tion of paintings, there will be encourage- ment for them, and when the really jolly nights are on iiand it is just possible, in fact I think I may sayv that it is absolutely probable, that if some gir] blushes and wisbes she could ask Tom Brown, she will be told to invite him, and indeed each girl tan ask the Tom, Dick or Harry who may be friend or sweetheart. makes healthy women. The prices range | You see, this club is to be run by girl- | women, and by a girl-woman [ mean one who has every desire of a woman—her bravery (else she wouldn’t be at work or trying to learn how to work) and the years of a girl, which zive her a right to enjoy herself. Somebody says to me aslam talking, *“Bab, you are too enthusiasti No, 1 am not; not a bit. The worid is full of pessimists who make bitter (by their words) even the sweet odor of violets; who see nothing good either in heaven or earth, forgetting ziat on earth there are women. If when every woman child were born its future from -its eradle to its grave were arranged for no one would be happier than I. I do not believe in women baving to earn money, ex- cept by earning it as grateful daughters, ing wives and devoted mothers. But, alas! there are so many women. And up- on the frail shoulders of so many women falls the support of so many others. If | there is a woman worker in the family be sure that she is caring for somebody, and men should blush with shame when they allow women to earn money for them; that is, of course unless they are invalids. But right here, where there are thousands of women working, there are women sup- porting lazy, shiftiess men—brothers, sons or husbands—and doing it willingly; los- ing their beauty, losing their attractive- ness, losing all externally thatis theirs by right of their womanhood, because they have not only to work, but to work too hard. You know I am telling the truth. You need only to look in your own small town, if you live in one, to find the shiftless man who is_supported by a woman. If there is one in the small town, how many are there in the great big cities? There are women who are supporting drunkards. Do you know what that means? To give a man bis daily bread, his clothes and the roof that covers him, and in addition, when you are alone to tind yourself utter- ing a silent prayer that he may come home sober. To have him appear drunk, beastly drunk; to put cold cloths on his head, to try and induce him to take some medicine, to work and watch until he eoes to sleep; perhaps to have a bruise on your forehead where he struck you, and which you excuse because he did not know what he was doing. After a sieepless night to find yourseii at your work, and to have the editor or the picture-buyer or the mer- chant wonder why ‘‘you don’t throw more life into your work this morning.” These women are the martyrs of the nineteenth century. It ie sadly true. But there are pleasant things to think about even among the workers. There is going to be many a pleasant evening for the lonely girl, and she is looking forward to it now with joy, for she is sure that the good time will come, since it is being furtnered by the large-hearted woman who made if pos- sible for her who needed it tolearn to work well. That is the secret of it—to do it well. And that is what in her 'own wo- manly way Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins has done. Iam not a great one for flaunting the star-spangled banner; some of the stars are not much credit to us, but the one which reflects the State in which Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins was born is a credit to it- self and to all the world. Which one? Well, one of those great big Western ones, enough to give birth to generons women and appreciative men.
