16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1896, FIFTY MEN FEWER IN BURLINGAME, Half a Hundred Resigna- tions Tendered the Swell Club. TWO VIEWS OF PLEASURE Some Staid Members Disliked | the Horsey Set and British Ways. CIRCULAR FROM DIRECTORS. It Will Explain the Club’s Condition. Members Asked by Others to Resign. \ Within the charmed circle which con- stitutes Burlingame—the fashionable, se- lect restricted society “*set’” in the club at n Mateo—all has not been harmony and complete good-fellowship of late. For the outward appearance of calm and undisturbed social pleasures it now transpires that dissatisfaction or some| difference of opinion upon matters usually | considered vital in a club has been making f felt among the members of the Bur- | ne Club. rule the gentlemen who have taken | s aristocratic association with : nified silence regarding | whatever divergence of views upon club airs may have arisen. And the same 1 be said of the whole membership, for it is evidently an unwritten law in Burlingame to commit no breach of the proprieties or to forget that ungentlemanly lapses are ut least bad form. So the club | lived on without ever a sign of social | revolution or startling defection of its members. [ne truth is, however. that the Bur- lingame Ol has lost in the last few Club months more than forty members, many of whom actually went out in a body. While the names of the disaffected mem- bers could not be made public, it has been itted that these gentlemen largely present the best element in San Fran- cisco society. They include millionaires, vrominent attorneys, physicians and mer- | chants. Itissaid that they were not alto- | gether pleased with the more pronounced ey set in the club. Te explained a s v who is famuliar | w Club people and | ir little differences—‘'the staid Califor- n did not find it at all congenial. That his tastes were not in the same channei asthe ultraset with British tendencies and | a penchant for golf suits and nothing but horses, you know, and English servants. | ““The Burlingame Club is & country club; it runs te horses as every one knows—rid- ing and driving, polo and golf. The Country Club runs to dogs and game and s all right for sportsmen; but one can un- | derstand that when every conversation is on horses and British sports, the pleasure of dropping into a retreat out of town for a few days was really doubtful. I knew t was coming, but did not think it would come so soon. “‘Some time since the club induced many nice people to become members. The ini- tiation fee was temporarily aboiished, and several parties whom I know were talked into joming. The proposition was really a good one and inviting. It eave the new members & prospect of enjoving them- selves in the country with every luxury of city life round them and good fellows for companions. But they found it often livelier in Burlingame than in the Pacific- Union orfUniversity clubs. The gay set had their four-in-hands and polo ponies and and English servants, and fre- quently English ways. “That may be the canse for the with- drawals, and it is all I bave heard about the matter. Anyhow, clearly the two séts had little in common, and consequently they were not coneenial.” The directors disclaimed all knowledge of disturbance or dissatisfaction, ana were unanimous club was never before so well managed or on such a sound financial foundation. Yet they have deemed it prudent at this time to issue a circalar letter to every member of the club, with a clear and fuil statement of the club’s present condition with regard to finances and general status of membership, management, and a re- view of the changes, etc. This letter was placed in the printer's hands yesterday and will be issued to-day. s It is quite a bulky document, covering several pages of typewriten paper. The introduction deals with the club in | a general way, and further on states that the club suffered a loss in membership of over forty since last August. Finances are explained at length. In 1894 the club’s net assets were something over §4000; in 1895 they advanced to nearly $6000, ana now the estimate places them between §$7000 and $8000. The month of February was the most prosperous one the club had experienced. ‘This showing is made with pardonable pride by the direc- tors, who draw attention to the fact that “the resignations have caused a loss of $250 monthly in dues.” That, by the way, at the rate of §5 a month for mem- bership dues would make the number of ations fi Attention is directed NEW TO-DAY. INSTANT RELIEF for all afflicted with TORTURING SKIN DISEASES in a Single Application of (uticura CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS, and its cures in their assertions that the | to the fact that under the new manager, Mr. Brewer, the club stables have been vastly improved, and are no longer such a heavy drag on the treasury. A director who did not wish to appear in connection with a discussion of the club said he did not care if forty more members resigned, not indeed that he would not regret losing the company of the present members, but from a financial point of view, and solely in the interest of the club, he believed it would be best. The club, he said, would be better off with 100 members, for then every man would take & particular interest in it, and of course the spirit of comraderie would be strength- ened. “Several members would go down to the club,” he added, “and expected to have tlie same attendance and service as at the Pacific-Union Club in town. And they felt disappointed and disgruntled because Inncheon could not be served atalmost | any hour. It was not fair to expect so ! much from a country club. I suppose these gentlemen have changed their minds, but that makes little or no dif- ference. The club will continue to live and be popular and prosperous.’ Harold Wheeler, a member of the board, | stated that when the club increased its | membership at one time by offering spe- cial inducements a large number of good men joined, thinking they would have many a pleasant visit to Burlingame. They rarely went there, however, and had no inter-st in the club and resigned. That was all he knew of the cause of the fifty | resignations, he said. The fact, however, that at least one very rominent member of the club was asked y other clubmen to resign indicates that | a concerted movement has been afoot in | Burlingame. OBJECTS TO THE TRENCH. An Assessment of Garrett Burke Ques- tioned by Expert Elder. George W. Elder, the State expert of the Board of Supervisors, has advised Mayor Sutro that the assessment asked by Gar- rett Burke for sewering Eighteenth street from Ashbury street to its easterly ter- mination is irregular, and that thesigning of the assessment should be deferred untit | the work is properly done. His communi- | cation is as follows: Ifind on examination of the sewer assess- ment issued_to Garrett Burke for a sewer con- | structed on Eighteenth street from Ashbury to | its easterly termination, that the specifications | have not been complied with as follows { The specifications require that the sewer | trench should be refilled in such manner as to | leave the street in proper condition. I find | that the sewer trench has sunk in some places all the way from one to three feet. 1 would, | therefore, recommend that your Honor with: hold your signature until the street is put in proper condition. T 1 T O AN M P PSSP AT TSI THE ONLY SISTER #DEER", Miss Tillie Morrisey Made an Honorary Member of the Order of Elks. In Recognition of Many Courtesies She | Is Presented With a Handsome | Silver Card. The members of Golden Gate Lodge No. | 6, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, believe in gratitude ana never allow an opportunity to pass when they can show their appreciation of courtesies. On many occasions Miss Tillie Morrisey, a well-known singer, has volunteered when the lodge gave entertainments for the en- joyment of their many friends, and added to the attractiveness of the performance by vocalizations which were always well received. At the last meeting of the lodge, | after the routine business was over, a com- | mittee of three was selected, of which C. W. | DRESS GOODS.

The much talked-of contest between Alexander Greggains, the champion of the fire laddies, and Tom Sharkey, the pride of the American navy, will take place this eyening at the Bush-street Thea- ter. Sharkey is a favorite at slight odds, but it is thought that the friend @ of Greg- gains will muster at the poolrooms this evening and. bet the supporters of the harz-hitting Sharkey to a standstill, in the lan&:uuge of the turfites. Both Shar- key and Gregeains are reported to be in first-class condition, and it can be safely preaicted that the contest, which is eight rounds, will be very spirited from atart to finish. Following the event of the evening an eight-round contest will be held between Phil McGoldrich of Los Angeles and Dal Hawkins, the pride of the sporting frater- nity who favor local talent. Strangeto say, DREAD THE STRANGLER His Work Has Caused a Panic Among the Demi-Mond- aines, The Police Are Unable to Fathom the Mystery of the Berthe Paradis Murder. It has cost the lives of two unfortunate women—May McDermott and Berthe Par- adis—to somewhat relieve the congestion of bare-faced crime in some of the arteries ofgvice of this City. The women of the half-world for whom the mysterious strangler appears to have a particular preailection are terror-stricken, and are stampeding in all directions. Three of the American and two of the Japanese women on St. Mary street va- cated their dens yesterday, but the French women, who require more time to gather up their effects, remained over night, and many of them will to-day put up “tc let” signs on their windows. Many of these women and their con- sorts own small ranches in the country, some of which are located in the neigh- borhood of outlying towns in the surround- ing counties. It is their custom each sum- mer to spend a couple of weeks in the country, and thev will take advantage of the strangler scare to hasten their depar- ture and lengthen their stay. The detectives, directed by Captain Lees, have interrogated every habitue and every resident of St. Mary street and its entour - age, hoping to obtain some clew that wounld lead to the identity of the mur- derer. Their researches, however, have so far proved futile. Those who knew the wornan regarded her as a sickly thing who should have been sent to the hospital long since, as the stamp of death had placed it- self on her brow nearly a year ago. They were aware that while her *‘friend and pro- tector,” Cesar Chabert, was magnanimous enough to refrain from beating her, he still insisted that she, broken down and suffering, continue at her infamous traffic to earn money for his support. The males in that sphere of degradation had little to say about the dead woman. To their blunted sense of justice and mo- rality the killing assumed the form oi a dread epidemic that might sooner or later be visited upon their own bread-winners, They filled the ears of all listeners with raises. for their fellow-idler, Cewmsar habert. They regarded it is an outrage that his belongings in the way of letters, papers and ciothing bad been removed from the dead woman’s room, and espe- ciaily that anybody could believe he had a hand in the crime. **Why should he kill her?” they asked, and in the same breath answered the question themselves, saying: 'Why, he just worshiped the ground she walked on.” Every night he would call and escort her from her room,and at times when she was sick and too weak to walk be would pick her up like achild and carry her to their lodgings at 528 Pine street.” Captain Lees questioned Cesar Chabert very closely last night in regard to the financial condition of the woman. His statement was to the effect that she had but ittle money when he saw her last alive. She had then but $2and a$10 piece ke gave her, out of which she spent $6 for a wrapper, $3 for the rent of her room and 50 cents for face-powder. The remainder of the money was found in the dead woman’s purse. Cesar Chabert on Tuesday night suc- ceeded in gaining permission to have the body removed to an undertaker's estab- lishment, whence she will be buried to- morrow afternoon. Yesterday afternoon the body wus returned to the morgue for a the Los Angeles man is the favorite in the betting, notwithstanding the fact that his opponent can biind-him so far as scientific boxing is concerneg few minutes, where it was viewed by the jury which is to sit on the case this morn- 1ng, and it was subsequently sent back to the undertaker, | | | \ \ | { we wiLL send FREE Solld Silver One Scarf Pin ©OR, foR { For 12 Coupons; 2 Qoupons and 12 ots.
