Supervisor Benjamin Will Get the Money to Buy Medicine for the Lepers. medicine for the lepers are being received daily by Supervisor Benjamin, and there is no doubt now that the amount neces- sary will soon be raised. Last evening Mr. Benjamin reported that he had collected $130 and had been promised other sums. In due time he will take steps to communicate with some competent firm or physician in Japan, so that the genuine Goto remedy may be procured. Yesterday Supervisor Benjamin received a letter from D. C. Barver, superintendent of the Los Angeles County Hospital. The latter had seen in THE CALL an account of the movement to purchase the medicine known as Dr. Goto’s remedy, and there- fore wrote to the Supervisor asking the price per ounce, and signifying that money would be remitted to pdy for a quantity sufficient for the two lepers in the Los Angeles hospital, or as the superintendent expressed it, ‘‘our two lepers.” Supervisor Benjamin will prepare and publish at the proper time a full list of all | the contributors to the fund.

The Six | Comvanies were aiso notified that they | must care for the sick Chinese now in the | hospitals in some place where the sanitary | arrangements, or rather lack of them, are | | not so objectionable. The inspector of the district that embraces Chinatown will | | watch the deadhouse closely to see that | | the orders of the board are complied with, | | and any evasion of the matter will result in the arrest of the keepers and those con- cerned in the maintenance of the grew- | some dens. | As asecond result of the publicity cast {upon these *‘Homes of Tranquility’”” and “Quiet Nursing Places,” the Christian missionaries have started a movement for a Chinese hospital. The Presbyterian mission on Stockton street, of which Rev. {Ira M. Condit is superintendent, the | Methodist Episcopal mission, under Dr. | Masters, the Baptist mission, under the | { Rev. Mr.. Norris, the Cumberland Pres- | byterians, the Refuge Home, pre- sided over by Miss Culbertson, and all the | other -mission workers have at least .ap- proved of the plan and some of them have | | already tuken steps to alleviate the con- dition of affairs which has callea down the condemnation of the health board of the C The Rev. Mr. Condit has had a | room at his mission house set apart and | furnished for the accommodation of sick Chinese, and before long it is expected that so house in the neighborinood will | be put into sanitary condition and main- | tained as a hospital for the poorer class of | 2 | Chinese, who in the absence of such an institution are forced to go to the dead- | house or are taken there by their cousins. Perbaps the Chinese Consulate will assist | the movement, and the Six Companies | will be asked to contribute. ! Several years ago a similar movement | was set on foot by the weaithy Chinese; | but fell through after a great deal of money | had been subscribed because the Board of | | Supervisors refused to sanction the erec- | tion of a hospital building in the southern | part of the City. The present movement, however, being fathered by the mission- aries, who will have control of the institu- tion and be answerable for its sanitary condition, will probably be successful. Yesterday a party of ladies, among them Miss Alexander of the Presbyterian Mis- | sion, visited as many of the deadhouses as they could gein admission to, and left food for the living inmates. At the Hongkong “Chamber of Tranquillity,” one of those condemned by the Health Board, they were refussed admission, though they had brought food for its selitary dyineg inmate, who lies in a dark, damp and foul room, along with a dead body. At the Hop Wah Mergue on Washing- ton street, the ladies found three dying coolies in most wretched condition, lying on bare boards. Of one of the men, who could speak fairly good English, Miss Alexander asked if there was anything he wanted. Just something to lie on, he re- | ;plied. adding that the bare boards made | his bones sore. Laterin the day the mis- | sion ladses took bim a blanket, which the | poor wretch needed so badly. He was asked if he would not like to wash, and he | réplied that it was impossible—more than he dared hone for. Indeed, there are no accommodations of any kind in these death houses. Towels and soap are en- tirely unknown quantities, and a bare drink of water in a dirty, nasty tin cup, is often an impossible luxury. UNDER THE DEPOT ACT.

L'Italia Objscts to Pietro Gori’s “In- | solence” to the Local Colony. There are hot words being bandied in the Italian colony; people who once were | friendly do not smile as they pass by, and | even the newspapers are interlarding their | columns with telling invectives in -the largest and most ornamental style of type. ! The trouble is a complicated one, but it had its origin in a dramatic perforinance | which the anarchist, Pietro Gori, gave in | Apollo Hall last Saturday evening. Gori, as befits a gentleman of his views, has scant respect for capitalists or men of | light and leading in the community. In accordance with this bump of irreverence, | he did not hesitate to dash off a comedy, i introducing_humorous caricatures npon | some of the best-known men in the colony. The actors performed their parts so well that the audience had not the least diffi- | culty in recognizing the persons lam- | pooned. Not a few very well-known | people indeed were recogrized; some of | whom had associated familiarly with | royalty. Most of the people who were *‘taken off” by Pietro Gorl were conspicuous by their absence from the entertainment, but their friends, as good iriends will, took particu- lar pains to let them know how very dis- respectfully they had been treated, and in | some cases, by passing from mouth to came positively appalling. | The day after the performance L'Ialia | passed it in critical review and took | Gori sharply to task for what it denomin- ated as his “insolence” toward a colony | that had treated him with kindness and | consideration. Hitherto Gori and_ail his works had been spoken of kindly in L' Italia, and the anarchists, hurt at the change of | tone, took up his pen and applying a num- ber of epithets the reverse of complimen- tary to the editor of L'Italia caused his effusion to be published in La Voce del | Popolo. 5 At this point a new element came into the discuss The lawyer for Crespiat the Almagia-Crespi libel trial, which was recently decided in favor of Signor Alma- ga, editor of L'Ttalia, stated that Gori had | heard Almagia speak in terms of tne | highest praise of Crespi. The editor of | L’1talia not only depied this soft impeach- ment, but called on Gori to deny it too. In response to this demand Gori wrote a letter, which L’'Italia refused to publish on the grounds that the anarchist neither affirmed nor denied wnether he had made the Crespi-Almagia statement or not. | Gori straightway published the non-com- mittal letter n Voce and with it huried a few more epithets at L'Italia and its editor. . At present the quarrel is a sort of three- cornered one, of which, however, the cornerstone is the caricature which was Ferpelnued last Sunday evening. The al- | eged Crespi statement is not forgotten, however, and in 1ts last night’s issue L'Italia in letters a quarter of an inch high says to Gori: “If yon have not the courage and the honesty to deny the statement ‘STETE UN BUGIARDO,’ for you have affirmed thines absolutely false.”” To transiate the word “bugiardo’’ by the plain ordinary one of liar is to do the an injustice. It needs imagination to grasp the Baron Munchausen-like powers | of invention of a “bugiardo.”’ But Gori seems to be too busy to heed any of these things. He has determined to give another “‘farewell” performance to San Francisco in order that he may put on the stage fresh “types’ of the colony. But if the caricatures last week lashed the Ecople of importance with whip3, those to e plaved next week will lash them with scorpions. e The Auzerais Divorced. Lucy W.

First came the ushers, Messrs. Harry Cosgriff, Crump, Ravelin and Herman Hadenieldt, and directly following them walked the bridesmaids—Miss Lizzetta M. Popp, Miss Pauline Van Gertzbach, Miss Gmma Feisel and Miss Wanda Hadenifeldt. Then came the maid of honor, Miss J. Meta Hadenfeldt, and preceding the bride, who entered leaning on the arm of her father, walked a dainty little dark-eyed beauty, Miss Lillian McCormick, scatter- ing the path of the bride with fragrant white violets and Cecile Bruner roses. The groom and his best man, C. C. Coul- ter, met the bridal party at the altar. After the ceremony the invited guests, | about fifty in number, accompanied the all at the Palace Hotel, where an elaborate supper was served. The gowns of the bridal party were ex- tremely handsome. The bride’s dress was fasbioned of exquisite cream white satin. The jupe was made en traine and the front | exquisitely embroidered with a large lovers’ knot, the curling ends of which were out- lined with orange blossoms and lillies of the valley. The bridal veil tas fastened to the coiffure by a diamond crescent, the gift of the groom. The maid of honor, Miss Meta Haden- feldt, wore an eiegant gown of white bro- caded satin, the flaring skirt made per- fectly plain in the prevailing fashion. The corsage was cut low, the decolletage being outlined by a band of ermine. Miss Hader- feldt carried a bunch of American beauty Toses. 2 The bridesmaids were attired alike in Nile green satin gowns, trimmed witn chiffon, and carried bunches of pink carna- tions and maidenhair. Mrs. Hadenfeldt, mother of the bride, | wore an elegant toilet of Dresden silk and olive velvet. Tre veivet panels on the jupe. the flaring collar and deep cuffs were elaborateiy embroidered with jewels. Mr. and Mrs. Coulter received very many eiegant presents and manv more await them on their arrival at their home in COhio. ‘The happy couple left this morning for Del Monte, and aiter a short stay wiil go to San Jose for a two months’ visit_and then proceed by easy stages to their East- ern home.

The feature of last evening’s entertainment was the living pictures arranged by Miss Lillie Lawler, and representing scenes and characters of the period of the great Napoleon.

At the Mission of the Good Samaritan she has looked in vain for any squalid worshipers, and so far she has not met with any harrowing cases of poverty. A ) Although tbe work of Miss Williams and her friends is only berinning with a nucleus of three, it isintended to extend the number of workers as time goes on.
