Very respectfull CHARLES WEBB HOWAR! pring Valley Water Wori: RICHMOND DISTRICT. The Property-Owners of That Locality Object to More Expensive Public Improvements at Present. The Richmond district property-owners | are anxiously discussing the question of | ng their streets. Their watchword is Improvement,” but they are beginning to think that they have about as many projects on hand for the advancement of their district as they can stand at present. The recent proposal to bituminize certain thoroughfares has divided Richmond, that heretofore has pulled so well together. The larger portion of the residents are of moderate means, paying for their homes, e prospect of more bills for street s not agreeable. The objectors say that there remains so h lateral and side sewer work to be | done that much of the bitumen would Liave to be torn up, patched and botched, making poor work, with more and unnec- essary expense. They have a red-rock quarry in the district which they aver will supply cheaply all the pavement they need at present. There are 100 many boulevards mapped out, and the property people along these avenues are moving to lay some of those motions on the table. The Anti-Cemetery Club is yet wrestling with the graveyards, whieh, although they have started, do not move out of the City as fast as desirable. Tne Cemetery Associations are not selling lots, apparently, since the passage of the pro- hibiting ordinance, but the deeds of prior purchases now being recorded have a rare old flavor—too rare and too oid to be true. ‘They cannot understand why a grave lot shonld have been bought in the early '60's and '70's and not be recorded till the year of our Lord 1896, A part of the cemeterv question is the proposed removal of the City graveyards on ’i’nirty-lhird avenue. These are used by certain benevolent societies for burial purposes, also by the y for the inter- ment of the indigent dead. Those pieces of ground are rapidly filling up, and in the course of time burials there must of necessity cease for want of space, and when the City grows around them the bodies will have to be removed. Charles H. Hubbs, president of the Richmond Property-owners' Association, is preparing ie shipping at th 0, and the experience g lay, consumpt President Commissioner Heacock yesterday until next chase by the City of a place of burial for its dead without the limits or the erection of a public crematory. — CHARGES OF FRAUD. Grave Allegations Made by Mrs. Marie Reusche. Mrs. Marie Reusche is suing her step- father for possession of certain property which, she alleges, he sccured from her by fraud. She claims that when her husband, Fritz Reusche, died, she was appointed administratrix, and under the guidance of her stepfather and an attorney he selected she managed the estate. She soon found that her stepfather had all the property, and now ehe charges fraud on the part of her stepfather and her attorney. She says the attorney is the one who probated her husband’s estate, and the record shows this to be Julius Reimer. She is suing for ncellation of the deeds by which she alienated her property and for an account- ing. ———————— The Wong Sam Case. The Wong Sam case was continued before Tuesday.

The Auditorium Has Been Renovated and a Brilliant Opening Is Anticipated. At the Baldwin Theater Frederick Warde returned to ‘The Mountebank” last night. The drama is not one that shows either Mr. Warde or his leading lady, Miss Fanny Gillette, in their hap- piest light. To-night “The Lion’s Mouth” will be played, and at the Saturday matinee “Virginius Nellie McHenry’s humorous take-off of an up-to-date maiden in “The Bicycle Girl” is pleasing Cdornia Theater audiences.

The pile- driver and the elevated railroad, with its mad jump from the track, are enougil sensations to keep a melodrama going, not to mention the real pier and the conflagration, with its real- istic electrical effects. Taken altogetker “The Pulse of New York” presents the most remark- able stage setting that San Francisco has seen ior a long time. Yesterday evening the cantata role of Casper in “Der Freischutz” was sung at the Tivoli Opera-house by G.Napoleoni, who will alter- nate the rest of this week with John J. Raffeel. Next Monday evening Planguette's opers comigue “Rip Van Winkle’’ wiil be presented, under the musical directorship of Carl Mar- arrie Roma, who hes just retutned from ast, will eappear. The Pantzer Brothers are the best attraction at the Orpheum this week. Their excallent acrobetic feats nightly arouse applause. The rest of the new performers have not proved quite up to the Orpheum’s standard. Messrs, Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. have added another place of amusement to their ventures in the Auditorium, which will be orened to-morrow evening with Souss’s Band. The stage has been enlarged. The interior is finishea in white and gold, end the seating capacity arranged to accommodate fully 2000 people. - RECEPTIONS AND DANCES A Large Tea Announced for Saturday at the McLean Residence. Reception for Miss Charlotte Jewell. Women’s Press Association Entertained. The most prominent event of the week will undoubtedly be the tea to be given by Mrs. Robert McLean on Saturday at | her elegant home on Pacific avenue. The date originally fixed for the fashionable entertainment was February 15, but owing to sickness in Mrs. McLean's family, the lady was obliged to postpone it to Satur- day. A great number of invitations have | been issued for the affair, and as Mrs. Mc- Lean is a most delightful hostess and her home eminently adapted for large enter- tainments, the Saturday tea will certainly be a most enjoyable fanction. A prominent Jewish marriage that is at- tracting considerable attention is that of Miss Selma Altmayer, daughter of A. Altmayer, president of the new Bush- street temple, and J. M. Jacobi, a promi- nent manufacturer of this City. The wedding, which will takeTplace on the 4th of March, will besolemnized in the | Rush-street synagogue, and isall the more interesting seeing it is the first marriage to be solemnized in the new temple. There has not been a synagogue wedding —which is always a most elaborate and im- pressive affair—since the brilliant mar- riage of Rabbi Metz and ‘the lovely Miss Frankel, one of the handsomest belles in Jewish society. On Saturday evening last Mr. and Mrs. E. Bloch gave a delightful reception at their handsome residence on Devisadero street in hoenor of their lovely and attractive niece, Miss Charlotte Jewell. The guests started to arrive about 9:30 o’clock, anl were received by Miss Jewell, assisted by Miss Eva Hescheimer and Miss Marie Bauman. The house was handsomely decorated. Palms and ferns lined the walls and covered all the corners in the drawing-room, sitting-room ana library; smilax entwined the chandeliers, and misty ferus veiling pink carnations and roses banked the mantels and shelves. The banquet hal! was decorated in the prevailing colors—red and green. The orchestra was sta- tioned in_the flnAXS. bebind a screen of palms, and furnished delightful music during the evening. Shortly after 10 o’clock dancing was in- augurated. During tbe evening Miss Lilli Rothehild gave & whistling solo, which was much enjoyed. At 12 o'cfock an_elaborate supper was served, after which dancing was re- sumed and kept up tntil an early hour. The guests carried off assouvenirs small hatchets an ordinance which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors soon. It pro- hibits interments in those cemeteries, and * passed will open the way for the pur- tied with red, white aad blue ribbon, which were very appropriate coming as it did on Washingion’s birthday. There were about 100 uests presen The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Marshall, at 551 Knox avenue, Oakland, was thrown open Thursday evening to the Pacific Coast Women's Press Association and other frienas. Mrs. Marshall, known in the literary world as Emma. Seckle Marshall, was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Eva Wreh. The four rooms of the suite were artistically decorated, the most striking features being & mammoth bunch of calla lilies placed in & conspicuous position, and the quantities of brilliant Cali- oraie poppies which gleamed among the grecnery. A most enjoyable programme was rendered. The piano soloist was Miss Ethel Fleming, whose brilliant Jlaving was particularly no- ticeable. The Misses Mabel Ransome, Daisy Pollard, Kate Wohlirom, R. A. Marshall of Oakland and Miss Abigail Jennings oi San Francisco gave some delightful vocal selec- tions. The other musical numbers were given by Miss Mary Sullivan, Miss Alice Raymond, Willlam Simonson, 'Alfred Wilkie, Fred Clark and Mrs. Eva Wren, whose ren- dition of “The Lullaby,” 'from Jocelyn by Godard, was greatly enjoyed. Miss Susie Hobart the talented elocutionist, con- tributed largely to the evening’s entertain- ment by her realistic recitations of “The Kitenen Clock,” **The Cheerful Visitor” and “Mammy’s Baby Boy.” The accompanists were Miss Blanche Partington, Miss el Hussy, Henry Bretherick and Fred Clark. Light refreshments were served and only the necessity for eatehing the late boats and sireet- cllrl brought the evening’s enjoyment to a close. ) Among those present werc: Mr, and Mrs. Henry Bretherick, Mr. and Mrs. H, B.

Ida May Ttsell married Seaberry Peter- son and Maud A. Itsell married Clifford J. Bretz, Tuesday, under circumstances at once romantic and peculiar. - The young Iadies are daughters of Andrew J. Itsell, vice-prineipal of the John Swett Grammar School, a well and favorably known educator. Both girls are pretty, intelli- gent and well-educated. They are of the brunette type, with dark, liquid eyes. Their marriage was a great surprise to their parents, who reside at 1832 O'Farrell street.

The sug- gestion was made that a double weddin might just as well be performed then an§ there. A second license was therefore taken out and Mr. Bretz and Miss Maud were also married. “I was not altogether surprised over the marriage of May to Mr. Peterson,” said the mother of the girls last night,” but I can’t get over the shock that followed the an- nouncement that Maud had done like- wise.

LIOUDR TRIFC JBUSES Action Taken by the California State Protective Asso- ciation. Preambles and Resolutions Sent to the Police Commissioners for Consideration. The California State Protective Assacia- tion forwarded a few days ago the follow- ing communication to the Board of Police Commissioners, which would have been considered at last night’s meeting of the board if it had not been adjourned out of respect to the memory of Ohief Crowley's son: 8AN FrANCreco, Feb. 20, 1896. To the Honorable the Board of Police Commis- sdoners of the City and County of San Francisco— GENTLEMEN: The undersigned, comprising the board of trustees of the California State Pro- tective Association, beg leave to submit to the consideration of your bhonorable body certain preambles and Tesolutions embodying the Foflc and general purpose of the association n behalf of the correction of ¢ertain evils and abuses in the liquor trafiic. These resolutions whish we submit to your honorable body are intended for general appli- cation throughout the State, and are now transmitted as an initial step in an endeavor t0 enforce these principles through our organi. zation in every county and municipality in the State, thereby placing the business of repu- table wholesale and retail merchants beyond just criticism. Itis to be presumed that your honorable body has at hand the ready means through the instrumentality of your ?Hce force to ascertain the places and establishments in this City whose past methods and present practices forfeit zEm right to license privi~ leges,'but in case our co-operation in this be- half is desired our organization will furnish you the names of such places as we believe are unworthy to hola a liquor license by reason of thelr abuse of its privi efiel. Assuring you of our high esteem and im. plicit confidence in your readiness o rectity evils when properly brought to your attention, We beg to remain, yours respectfully, J. P.

The Police Commissioners Adjourned Last Night Out of Respect to His Memory. The Police Commissioners did not do any business last night. After President Tobin had called the meeting to order Commissioner Gunst rose and said: “I move that the meeting do now adjourn out of respect to the memory of Chief Crowley’s son.”” The president declared the meeting adjourned and that was at1. The heartfelt sympathy of the members of the Police Department and the public generally will be extended to Chief Crow- ley and Mrs. Crowley in their sad affic- tion. Their son Samuel after a lingering iliness died yesterday afternoon in his thirtieth year. He had been gradually wasting away and on Monday the Chief insisted that the attending physicians should tell him the worst. They reluc- tantly told him that his son could not live more than two days, and so it proved. “It is hard,’” the Chief said, ‘‘tolose both our sors. It was bad enoughi to lose one, but to have both taken away in their | young manhood is doubly hard to bear.” Tne Chief’s younger son, Louis, an am- iable, bright and intellectual young man educated for the church, died about three years ago in his twenty-fourth year, and his loss was a terrible blow to his father and mother. Samutel was born in this City and was a member of Yerba Buena Lodge of the Na- tive Sons of the Golden West. Untila year or two ago he was a strong robust young man, but an insidious disease grad- ually undermined his constitution and he breathed his last shortly after4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The funeral will take place to-morrow. —————a— Mr. Pelton’s Request. J. C. Pelton, the vencrable educator, says that his application to the City Hall Commis- sioners for quarters in the City Hall was mis- construed. He did not ask for living quarters, being already located at Ocean View, buf merely for the privilege of deskroom, or ah odd corner in which he might pursue his literar: work, which includes & volume to be enl"les “Sunbeams and Shadows.” —_—————— Private companies in Japan have sub- mitted to the Government plans for over 2000 miles of new railroads, L, HEINE WILL NOT STAY, 'Cellist Shakes Off the Dust of the Tivoli " Orchestra. The He Was Replaced by Martens After Being Told to Go Ahead and Conduct. When Adolph Bauer retired from the Tivoli conductorship the management of the theater requested Louis Heine, the well-known local "cellist, to go ahe_ud and take his place. Mr. Heine complied, and gs a consequence difficulties have arisen, which will result in the 'cellist's leaving San Francisco. 3 1t is asserted by Mr. Heine’s Iriends that when Adolph Bauer laid down the baton the position of conductor was formally offered to the young ’ceilist. He accepted, and C. Gntterson was made ’cellist in his place, and for two weeks all went well under his leadership. At the end of that time Carl Martens of the Tavary Opera Company intimated to the Tivoli manage- ment his desire to remain in San Fran- cisco. His overtures were ncce_pzed and Louis Heine received an intimation to re- turn to his cello. The friends of the young musician say that he could not be expected to brook this setback tamely, and they applaud him for the course he took in at once -notifying the Tivoli that he would sever all connec- tion with the theater when he laid down the baton. Mr. Heine himself does not wish to make any statement for publica- tion at present, but he does not deny that he was offered the position vacaled by Adolph Bauer, and that when he least ex- pected it, the intimation was given him that in two weeks Carl Martens would take his place. Mrs. Kreling says she had no idea of making Louis Heine permanent con- ductor. ‘“We told him to go ahead and take Mr. Bauer’s place,” she said, ‘‘but he bad substituted for our leaders before and did not object to returning to the’cello when Hirschbach had been away and came back again. Mr. Martens was at the Tivolinine years ago, before he joined Emma Abbott, and we were naturally anxious to get him back again.” Louis Heine will conduct at the Tivoli for the last time on Sunday evening. The last time he plays beforé his departure north will probably be at the fiftieth Carr- Beel vopular concert on Saturday after- noon, when a number of the society ladies intend to give a reception to the perform- ers after the concert. Lonis Heine has ac- cepted the position of conductor with an opera company which George E. Nash in- tends to take on the road. The tour opens at Portland, Or., after which the troupe will tour the Pacific Coast until June. The future plans of the ’cellist are not permanenily settled. He may either re- turn to this City or go East at the con- clusion of the tour. His ability asa mu- sician is well established, and local mu- sical circles will feel his loss. e UNCLAIMED PROPERTY. Semi-Annual Clean-up of the Property Clerx’s Department. The semi-annual clean-up of the police property clerk’s department was finished yesterday and the unclaimed money and property were handed over by Property Cierk Cullen to the City Treasurer. The cash, which was in small sums, amounted altogether to $274. Among the articles were a cradle, gaso- line stove, boxing gloves, a pair of crutches, about 100 revolvers of all descriptions, a large quantity of knives, razors and seis- sors, umbrellas, walking canes, jewelry, watches, clothing, trinkets and lots of mis- cellaneous things, The vast bargains of the “‘Fire Sale,” so popular in the Clothing tradé, what are they ?

T IS TRUE THAT SOME FEW OF THE VIS- itors to the hospitable shores of this Golden State go back to their homes and vow that Califor nia is popuisted by “jays,” “hayseeds’ and so forth, but they are usnally actors of inferior tal- ents or disappointed speculazors who have at- tempted to place some mnot too sweet-smelling scheme on the market, and have found that the people who live here don't takeall they hear for gospel truth without Investigating a little. A crit icism of our great medical institutions, of which we are so rightly proud, has until now not been pronounced, but it comes with grace from aman who has tried and therefore knows whereof he speaks. It is Mr. Frank Minturn who has spoken, and as he speaks of the Hudson Medical Insti- tute—indubitably the greatest and finest of its nature on this Slope—his remarks are well worth being reproduced. He writes as follows: ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 9, 1895, Hudson Medical Institule, San Francisco, Cal.— GENTLEMEN: A few months ago I placed myself under your treatment. as I had been a sufferer for a long time from & complication of disenses that seemed to successfully T must confess that I was at first skeptical about placing myself under the care of physicians thou- sands of miles away, but I had reached a polnt where something had to be done atonce, as T could neither sleep nor eat, and my whole system seemed 10 be complétely worn out. I now desire to express to you my sincere thanks for the careful, conscientious and successfal man- ner in which my case has been treated by you. I ama very différent man to-day, and I have not felt as well in five years as I do’ now. I desire to say to those who are suffering from diseases of long standing, of whatever nature, that it is my honest opinion if they will write or apply to the large white building at the corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets, San Francisco, I be- lieve they will find the relief that they seek, ana that they will receive the same careful and skillful treatment that I did at the hands of the Hudson Medcal Institute. Wishing you continued success In your efforts to ald suffering humanity, I am, very truly, FRANK MINTURN, St. Louis, Mo, This is certainly a Jvery strong indorsement of the great institution, but it may be frankiy stated that It is no better or more frank than several hundreds of our people, who say things equally good week in and week out. From Panoche, Cal. comes this: Robert, Ashurst Jr. writes: “Have galned six pounds since commencing treatment. I would not take $500 to relapse into the state I was In be- fore.” S.T. Balley of Weaverville, Cal.: “I will now state after two months’ treatment with you that I feel tully restored to health.” K. C. Taft of Stowe, Cal. says: “I am feeling fine, without a sign of disease now.” E. W. Fowler: “Iam feeling a3 good now asit 15 possible for & man to feel.” It space permitted, this sort of testimony conla be prolonged indefinitely. Never a mail comes but there are many letters expressing thanks and esteem for what has been done for those who have placed themselves under the skill of the physicians of the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITU isnow a proverbial saying that “If yi get cured QUICKLY and CERTAINLY that is the only place to go.” All the Following Cases Are Curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder; ail bronchial diseases; all functional nervous dis- t.
