A Sunday Afternoon Row Between a Colored Bootblack and a Clothing Packer. : Bill Dyson. a colored bootblack with & stand on Grant avenue, between Post and Sutter streets, was shot last evening at5 o'clock by Benjamin Franklin Woolfolk. The affray was witnessed by Special Of- ficer Linville, who substantiates the story of Woolfolk that he acted in self-defense. The shooting was the outcome of a trouble that began several months ago. Woolfolk is employed as a packer by A. D. Simpson, a clothing drummer living at 882 O'Farrell street. Woolfolk had let Dyson have a coat and vest, which Dyson refused to pay for. Dyson and Woolfolk met yesterday, and after severe words Dy- son struck Weolfolk, and was in the act of B! |t following up the assault when Woolfolk | shot. Dyson 1an, and Woolfolk followed, firing twice more, wnen J'yson fell. Woolfolk turned to run. Seeing Special Linville, who was then turning in his 5 o’clock alarm at thetelltale clock in the pawnshop near by, he ran to him and gave himself up. ISpocial Linville knows both parties to the quarrel. Dyson, he says, 1s a big, quarrelsome feliow wlio boasis of his powers as a fighter, and has been frequently arrested because of them. Mr. Linville atened to Sue Her Divorced Husband for Breach of Promise, and to Whom the Pedlina Property Has Been Deeded. [Reproduced from a photograph.} rec promise of marriage. srs. Titus was once the wife of Pedlina. Lie became divorced, and it was on the pletion of recent arrangements fora | cona marriasre that the property was conveyed to the man. James Pedlina is a restaurant-owner at | 14 First street, near the Market-street cor- ner. About twenty-two vears ago he and | Miss Josephine Rupli-were married in this | City, and it is the bride of that time that | was plaintiff in the recent proceeding for | the recovery of the McAllister-street land. | Mr. and Mrs. Pedlina lived together about | fourteen years. One son was born, and ! he, about 20 years of age, resides with his | mother. 1 Eight years ago; or about that, Mrs. Ped- Jina became acquainted with Dr. Titus, whose office was then in the Phelan build- | ing. Not long afterward she obtained a divorce from Pedlina and immediately married Dr. Titus. The latter then gave | up his extensive practice in San Francisco | and removed with his bride to Arizona, | where he became general superintendent | of the State Asylum for the Insane. His | home was at Tucson. The new life in Arizona did not entirely pleasz Mrs. Titus, so she abandoned her second husband and returned to this City. | From that time she earned her own living as janitress of one of the public schools in | tl.e Mission, svpporting and educating her son. G She was never divorced from her second | husband, but Dr. Titus died a couple of | years ago. After the death of Dr. Titus,Pedlina and his former wife metand became reconciled, and finally they agreed upon a remarriage. Mrs. Titus owned a buildihg lot on .\!c-( Allister street, near Centrai avenue, and a | part of the marriage azreement was that | Pedlina should erect a houseon thatlot as | 2 home for the family—Mr. Pedlina, Mrs. Titus and their son. - To facilitate business matters Mrs. Titus gave a deed of the building lot to Mr. Pedlina and Mr. Pedlina faithfully carried out the first part of his contract and erected one of the prettiest little houses in that part of the City. 5 £ But then came a hiteh. Not the matri- monial hitch that had been marked down in the family plan, but a disagreement be- tween Mr. Pedlina and his past and ex- | pectant bride. f Mrs. Titus began suit for the recovery of her real estate, alleging that Pedlina had retused to carry out his promise of mar- riage, and that the only claim the_ man bad to the property was the one which he Lad obtained by fraud. The case was to have been brought up in the Snpen?r Court, but Mr. Pedlina avoided the public rehearing of his matrimonial and real estate transactions by an unconditional surrender of the property. i The woman’s lawyers were preparing to have Pedlina arrested for fraud and to sue him for $25,000 damages :n the :;I;f::iolz f breach of promise, when a co! :-au agreed upon. Pedlina deeded back the building lot, and with it he gave the new house to his divorced wife. Further than that, he paid all the costs, and Mrs. Titus has profited by the venture to just the value of the new house. She and her son have moved into the place, but the remarriage has been indefinitely sostponed. B g ! The real estate in question is worth from $5000 to $10,000. e The Rock Under the Church.

Wealthy Chinese Celebrate the Anni- versary of the Establishment With An Elaborate Banquet. Nothing was omitted to make the an- | nual feast of the Sue Ying Benevolent So- | ciety an event to be remembered longin Chinese circles.

Among all there is a determina- tion to stand by the union to the bitter end. If necessary they will fake contracts themselves in order to compel recognition on the part of the bosses. However, 1t is E:nen'l]ly believed that the strike will not be general, as the better class of master pain{ers have already sig- nified their willingness to treat the men fairly and grant what they demand. With'the men employed in shops with such bosses there will be no strike. The first question to be asked by the men this morning will be: ‘Do you agree to our terms or do. you not?” ‘Where the reply is in the negative the men will walk out and report at once to the executive board of the union, which will be at the Temple, at 117 Turk street, all day. This board states that it will be wi{ling to confer with all master painters who show a disposition to straighten out the troubles caused by their refusal to ac- cede to the union’s demands, FORMEDALSAND RECORDS Some Lively Contests for Prizes at the Two Shooting Ranges.

At times the light was poor | and varying, owing to the occasional pres- | ence of clouds in the sky. Nearly every | shooting-stand was occupied all day, and | the shooting continued as long ss there was light enough to see the targets. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club's members were out in full force for their semi-monthly shoot for records, medals and cash prizes. A number of fine scores | were made on the club’s new target. A. Strecker broke the 200-yard three-shot rifle record of the club by making a 7, con- | sisting of a 1, 2 and 4. This shows-that he | bunched his three shots all inside of the three-inch circle. On the 50-yard pistol ‘range a large amount of ammunition was consumed. C. M. Daiss, who stands at the head of the list of pistol shots, made another record for himself by securing 6 points in three shots on the Blanding pistol medal record. J. E. Gormac, whose picture in his char- | acteristic position appears in this column, | did some excellent shooting and his best | wasa 9. Mr. Gorman is the assistant sec- | retary of ‘tte club and 18 among the best | all-round shots. His favorites, however, are the pistol and revolver. With the lat- ter weapon he has made on the Blunt tar- get 95 out of a possible 100 and 432 out of a possible 500. He possesses a first-class medal and has held the 50-shot pistol dia- | mond niedal.

Results of Two Old Dog Stakes De- cided at Ocean View Park Yesterday. An unusually large number of coursing men assembled at Ocean View Coursing Park yesterday to witness the ruuning of the twenty-four dog stake that was on the card, and some fine sport was witnessed by all present. 0ld reliable Mission Boy succeeded in winning the main stake, after a run with Nellie C in which the points were nearly equal. The speculators made a heavy day of it through the frequent winnings of short- enders. Toward the close, however, the talent succeeded in sizing up the true form of the dogs and the favorites took nearly all of the last runs. The hares were in fine condition and in many instances showed the way across the field and into the escapes. Following is the result of the run-down: G. White's Tippler beat J.

DR. VOISARD TO BE RETIRED. Interesting Meeting of the Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance at Uiion-Square Hall. The members_in good standing of the Societe Francaise de Bienfaisatice Mu- tuelle met to the numbeér of about three hundred yesterday afternoon in Union Square Hall. V. Gardet presided, and by his side sat Vice-President J. M. Dupas. R. Lavigne officiated as secretary, and the trio were backed by half a score of Frenchmen connected directly or other- wise with the society. It was a well-understood proposition that the meeting was called only for the purpose of hearing suggestions which, when seconded, would be presented at the next general assembly of mémbers,-to be held in a week or two. This plan of pro- cedure was adopted to overcome the usual and unnecessary debates which have oc- curred year after year in the assembly. Chairman Gardet announced that only. ropositions pertinent to revising the by- aws as to the management of the society would be heard, and when seconded would be placed on file for presentation to the general assembly. This announcement had scarcely the desired effect, however, and the chairman used a bell such as onée hears where auctions are being held. M. Bergerot, one of the leading spir- 1ts in the society, cailed the attention of those present to that clause in the by-laws requiring physicians employed at the French Hospital to hold diplomas from French colleges. He believed that this one clause aid more harm than anything else to the institution, as it antagonized the American and other foreign elements, and he desired it amended. After much discussion it was decided to recommend to the general assembly that the by-laws read to the effect that all physicians grad- uated since 1892, from any legitimate col- lege in the United States, be accepted as applicants. He explained that the limita- tion was made simply because prior to quired. There being a second to this amendment it wili have to come up before the geueral assembly, but, it is quite likely it will be fought stoutly. 5 The other important recommendation to-be made will be that noemployes of the hospital will be appointed or retained who are related in any degree to a member of the committee. i The retirement of Resident Physician X. F. Voisard, formerly of the Pacitic Mail Company, now superintendent of the hos- pital, will be recommended. Incidentally, but in no way pertinent to the meeting, a member created quite a cyclone of words when he demanded to know how the society stood in respect to the $100,000 borrowed by the society nearly two years ago. The outcome of the crossfire was to elicit the information that at the time the money was needed a syndicate of French- men advanced it on 7% per cent interest. Whilé this appeared excessive, it was war- ranted by the stringency of the money market. Since then, however, money has become easier and there is a desire to pay up the mortgage with other money bor- rowed at a lesser cost. But itso happens that when the patriotic Frenchmen came 10 the rescue of the society they formed a corporation called 1'Union ~Francaise. They agreed that they'would hold the stock they received for their subscription, or, in other words, that they would pool their stock. Now, when the time has ar- rived to do business by selling out, a num- ber of stockholders are in Europe and the absence of one, according to their agree- ment, invalidates any action taken by the others. Said one of the members: “This leaves the society in a position where it is forced to keepon paying 7% per cent interest ad infinitum, or until ali the bondholders can get here in person or proxy. But, worse- still, neurli‘ all the leading members of the Union Francaise are in authority in the Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance Mutuelle. “In a moment of patriotism they, as members of the one society, loaned their money at 73 per cent interest to them- selves as members of another society, and now that money is easier and they need not pay such high interest, they cannot see a way to pay themsglves the original $100,000 and wipe out the mortgage by an- other which will call for less interest, all because of that pooling clause which re- quires the sanction of all the members.”” This subject brought many fiery speak- ers to the t{oor of the meeting yesterday, but the situation remains the same, to be taken up at the general assembly. The nominations for members of the general committee were as follows: Syl- vain Weill, Ortin, Deschamps, Bergerot, N. Loupy, A. Froment, Bocqueraz, O. Bozio, J. Desbarrats, Dupas, A. Gous- tiaux, F. Fagothy, Julien, Pouyal, P. Cames, J. Falk. Carraine, J. Lacaze, A. Aron, J. Vasseiin, FOUR WEEKS OF PRAVER Thousands Attend the Opening of the Mission at St. Patrick’s Church. Father 0'Shea Reviews the Work of the Church in Christianizing the World. The Redemptorist Fathers began a mis- sion at St. Patrick’s Church on Mission street yesterday. It will continue for four weeks. Services will be conducted in the morning and evening of each day. There was not standing room in the historical old edifice over which the vener- able Father Grey presidesat the high mass at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning. It was an impressive ceremony. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Father O’Shea. The last mission given by the Redempt- onsts in St. Patrick’s ‘Church was ten yearsago. At that time it was attended by 10,600 aduits and 3000 children. - Father O'Shea preached on “The Neces- sity and Utility of Missions.” ‘The con- version of the world must be attributed,” said the preacher, ‘‘to the missions given by our Lord, his apostles and their suc- cessors. No nation has yet been converted from barbarism, paganism or infidelity to the'true knowledge and worship of God except by the missionaries of the Catholic ‘church. _8t. Peter unfurled the banner of ‘Christianity in Rome, 8t. James in Spain, 8t. Paul and the other apostles through the Roman world. St. Remigius planted the faith in Gaul, St. Patrick in Ireland, St."Augustine in England, St. Boniface in Germany, St. Francis Xavierin the Indias, and we know that- the missionaries who accompanied Columbus 403 years ago es- tablisbed the faith in America. “As the faith ll:ld beenh uub'h'z}:ed and ropagated by the preaching-of the apos- Flup.nxnd mi{sionaries of the Catholic church, so when there was evidence of de- cay it was revived again by the self-same preaching of the eternal truths which are stamped deeply in the minds of those who believe the eternal truth of God. “The spirit of the age is a thirst for 1892 grauuates were only required to take | a course of study of three years, but that | since that date four years of study was re- | knowledge. In this very time the most ‘wonderful discoveries and inventions have taken place. In the dail? press we read of most striking and wonderful discoveries .| and inventions, especially in that mysteri- ous power of electricity, which, however, seems to be only in its infancy. ““Man _thirsts for a knowledge of all the arts and sciences, but this will avail little unless united with a knowledge of God. These are two great powers. They are well understood by the Catholic church, whose children have been the most illustrious scientists-and saints that have honored the name of men. Such as St. Augustine, St. | Dominic and Columbus, men remarkable for their highly cultivated minds and pure hearts. “Perhaps there is no nation to-day Wwhich .is making such advances in tne study of arts and sciences as America. The people likewise are most anxious to learn the true knowledge of God, for there is deeply imbedded in the American heart the grand idea—the most sublime of all— | of a divine and eternal being, the creator and ruler of the avorld. “Man knows full well thatapart from God he can never be perfectly happy, as we learn irom the example of one of the greatest and wisest of men, King Solo- mon, who in the midstof his limitless wealth and great knowledge discovered no!hmg but vanity of vanities. Man’s heart then, being made by God, must soar toward God, and find its happiness inthe possession of a supreme -ana infinite good which is God alone. Those who visited the World’s Fair at Chicago were able to acquire by the careful study of the world’s wonders which were displayed theie an | amount of knowledge which they could not otherwise acquire in the same time and at the same expense in any other part of the world. Yet their natures wete not satisfied. with what they saw. There was a longing to see other and more entranc- ing worlds. Hence we learn that the very soul of man can never be perfectly satis- fied until God withdraws the veil from be- fore our vision.” Father O’Shea closed by urging all to attend the mission. MARSICK'S LAST CONCERT A Small but Select Audience Made Enthusiastic at the Baldwin. The Violinist Plays With His Usual Refinement and Deli- cacy. £ There was a marked increase in the en- thusiasm bestowed upon Marsick at his farewell concert last night, though the audience was small. When he first vlayed here Paderewski’s popularity made the violinist suffer a partial eclipse, and at Marsick’s second recital the applause was hearty, but not enthusiastic. Last night, however, the audience at the Bala- win Theater grew positively demon- strative, people ventured upon cries of “Bravo!” and in the concertos the orches- tral portions of the performance were fre- quently rendered inaudible by applause. Marsick 18 certainly a player whose art rows more and more upon the hearer. 'he purity of his tone, his smoothness and, above all, his complete refinement, com- el admiration the more one hears them. Marsick has no strong dramatic person- ality, no vigor and breadth to startle his hearers into enthusiasm, and_he descends to-no chicanery to trick them into applaud- ing, but his refinement and perfect smooth- ness, although qualities thet do not dazzle the multitude, are a splendid equipment for winning admiration in the long run from those who think more of ‘art than of sensationalism. In the allegro moderato of the Vieux- temps Grand Concerto Marsick did some of his smoothest and most polished work last night, thoagh the Mendelssohn con- certo was deélightfully played and the Saint-Saens ‘“‘Rondo_Capriccioso” was a gem of finish and delicacy. Very different was his interpretation of the Mendelssohn concerto from Ysaye's. The latter was broad, majestic tone-painting, while Mar- sick’s way of laying on the tone colors, if the expression is allowable, was like a miniature, not large in conception, but exquisitely finished as to detail. In response to very enthusiastic encores Marsick played to his three numbers the following encoresrespectively: ‘Serenade’’ by G. Pieone, *‘Czardas” by Hubay, and a “Gipsy Dance” by Barasate. The orcaestra, conducted by -August Hinrichs, did much in the concertos that on the whole was satisfactory. Mr. Hin- richs’ forte is not, perhaps, concertos, as he is too apt to go ahead with the relent- lessness of a metronome, but 1t was only in the final movemént of the Mendelssohn number that this peculiarity seemed to hamper Marsick. In the Saint-Saens rondo the strings were not in tune in places, but on the whole theorchestra did well. It wasseldom oo loud, which is saying a good deal when one considets the delicacy of Marsick’s playing. The orchestra received an encore, and its other numbers, particularly Gade's overture, were warmly applauded. The vocalist, Mrs. Ernest H. Palmer, has not much voice, and what she does possess she has an unfortunate habit of vroducing as if singing through a tube. Particularly at the end of her “Samson and Dalila” area she was considerably out of tune, but Mrs. Palmer received encores to both her songs, which shows that there were people who enjoyed her singing. Mrs. J. N. Hinrichs accompanied the en- cores very sympathetically. : NEW TO-DAY.
