G THE .SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1%96. HORACE FLETCHER HERE, The Genial Philosopher of New Orleans Has Arrived in Town. GREAT SUCCESS AS AN AUTHOR. He Talks of Poets, Players, Artists and of the True Art of Living Without Worry. Horace Fletcher, an author within easy | reach of fame, a genial philosopher and a man of large affairs in a practical business sense, is in San Francisco, 8 welcome guest at the home of Julius Kruttschnitt. Ten years have passed aince Mr. Fletcher resided in San Francisco. For adecade prior to 1886, he was quite well known in business and social circles of this City. He was president of the Olympic Club when that institution went into its first easily enough the best hotel in the world. In the City he notes many evidences of improvement, and declares that ‘the town must be prosperous. ' Tue street railroad system enlisted his admiration, and also elicited the comment that New Orleans was now well equipped with an electric system of street rallways. Citizens of New Orleans were just now engaged in a e was among those who were takinga deep interest in the subject. New Orleans, ha said, had a very high regard for the abilities and character of Mr. Kruttschnitt and he predicted that San Francisco and California would soon appreciate his attainments and the value of his citizenship. Another Veteran Dead. Daniel McDonald, & pioneer of 1849 and a veteran of the War of the Rebellion, died yes- terday at his residence, 733 Minna street, after &long and painful illness. Mr. McDonald came to this City when a boy, with his father, who was then a soldier in the First Artillery, U. 8. A. He was employed for Some years in the smmunition department at the Benicia barracks. Later he learned the trade of painter with the old-time firm of Sweet & Gadsby. Upon the breaking out of the rebellion he enlisted in Battery Thira Artillery, U. §. A., and re-enlisted in Batter C, Second Artillery, U.S. A, and served witl gallantry in some of the fiercest battles of the war. During the many years that Mr. McDonald resided in this City he enjoyed the esteem of & large circle of friends. He was a member of George H. Thomas Post No. 2, G. A. R., and will be buried from that post’s rooms, 320 Post street, to-morrow at 1 o'clock P, a1 / /4 A HORACE FLETCHER, THE AUTHOR OF MENTICULTURE, home on Post street, and at the same time he belonged to the inner circle of Bohe- mians at the club where the owl reigned. Thirty-one years eago he visited Japan— as he describes it, “Brave, gentle, artistic, lovable little Japan, h then was nursing in quiet seclusion a beautifal flower of artistic civilization.” Since then Mr. Fletcher has traveled in America, Europe, Asia and Africa fully one-third of his time. He belongs to clubs and literary circles in half the large cities in the United States. He has resided in Chicago, Boston | and New York, and is now living in New Orleans, a city which possesses many at- | tractions 1or the a Among his friends he counts authors, poets, actors and professional men of ce- lebrity. His bungalow is famed for simple hospitaiity and artistic refinement. It has supplied the text for many a de- scriptive article in the magazines and newspapers. When Mr. Fletcher, in company with Scott ~eison, strolled into the Bohemian Clup yesterday the former stuaied the old cartoons and declared that they were bet- ter than his memory had pictured them. In the library be talked of his home in ew Orleans, of bis book and of poets and Eugene rield’s visit of two months last vear was delightfully recaliea. Joseph Jefferson’s enthusiasm in the art of paint- ing was described. Jeiferson, the greatest of actors, Lopes to achieve fame as'a great painterer, and his recent work, says Mr. Pleten, justifies the hope. Frank R. Stock- ton is quoted as ssying ‘“that no author csn tell whether a beok is going to sell. The public decides that question.” Julian Ralph and Sol Smith Russell were on the list of welcome guests at the Baronne- street bungalow. Mr. Fletcher was led to talk about his own book, **Menticulture, or the A B C of True Living.’ It was published last October, the 2im of the author being to elucidate clearly the idea that all the evil passions are traceable to one of two roots, Anger is the root of all the aggressive pas- sions. Worry is the root of al%lhe cowardly passions. The motive of the work is the power of suggestion on the human mind to repress these passions. In bis studies and travels in Japan and China, he became profoundly impressed with the belief that all evil passions might be eradicated by killing the germs of them. His one great sincere motive has been to present his theory in a light o clear, and with arguments and instances so well con- sidered that there can be no possibility of misunderstandi it. There was no thought of commercial gain when the work was published. The gentle phil- osopher simply thought of teachingothers how to get along in the world without trouble or worry. Unexpectedly the book began to be talked about in general circles, and a great demand for it followed. The Bookman of Aprilin pronouncing its success phenomenal says: “That there are many people outside of the ranks of faith ‘healers, Christian Scientists and others of that ilk who are interested in the ultimate triumph of mind over matter is pretty thoroug{ly at- tested by the phenomenal success of ‘Horace Fletcher's Menticulture; or the A B C of True Living,’ which is being very widely read for a work of its class.” In his conversation yesterday Mr. Fletcher observed that the age wasripe for the study of the mind—the lpiritlul.[ The_close of the last century had been distinguished by the inventions which de- veloped the most material forces of the world. These forces of nature now in mo- tion would give the people at the close of this century the leisure to study the hu- man mind, the source of all energy. “Now as to my book,” said Mr. rletcher, “the chief source ‘of pleasure to me is contained in the letters which I receive, wherein the writers give personal testi- mony as to the power of suggestion in re- pressing evil passions. I have had to find a new definition for worry, and so to make myself clearly understood I now call it fear-thought. “‘Really when we come to think about it no such thing as trouble exists. The thing that causes the trouble has passed, and therefore no longer exists. The habit of thought is powerful. The influence of the mind is now recognized by advanced };hyndnng and teachers. The theory that have built up is based on a proper esti- mation of the limitations of mental weak- nesses—a discovery that they haye roots, and also that they can be ‘pulled out by the roots’ and disposed of just like any other weeds, only that the task being mental and not Pbyaical. can be more easily performed.’ To Horace Fletcher’s philosophic mind San Francisco is one of the most delight- ful places on the globe, and as for the Palace Hotel he says it is unequalea and NEWS UF THE CHURCHE Rev. Dr. Dille Dedicates the First M. E. Church in Honolulu. Novato Is to Have a New Presbyte- rian Church Organized By a Student. Rev. Dr. Dille dedicated the First M. E. Church in Honolulu last Sunday. The doctor went to the islands for the purpose of dedicating the church and taking a needed rest. There is no possibility of bhis accepting a call to Honolulu. Dr, W. S. Mathews, editor of the Cali- fornia Christian Advocate, took his leave of the City last week to attend the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cleveland, Ohio. It is believed that his success as editor will guarantee his re-election for another quadrennium. One of the interesting questions for the General Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church will be that of additional bisnops. None were elected in 1892, and some people say more bishops ought to be elected at Cleveland. The annual meeting of the Woman'’s Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. Church isto be held in Alameda, Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, April 29 and 30 and May 1. Rev. J. M. Weems will preach the opening sermon on Wednesday evening. Sister Campbell will speak on Thursday afternoon, the 30th inst. R.W. Reynolds, 2 studentof the San Francisco Theolofixcnl Seminary who has just been ordained into the Presbyterian church, has been preaching to the people of Novato during his last term in the sem- inary and was instrumental in getting a church organized there, They have a church building about half completed which will soon be furnished and dedi- cated. Mr. Reynolds expects to do evangel- istic and missionary work in San Fran- cisco. The General Assembly of the Presbyter- rian church in the United States will meet in the First Presbyterian Church, Sara- tg&? Springs, N. Y., Thursday, May 21, 1 The Sacramento Valley Association of Congregational Churches and Ministers will hold its spring meeting with the church in Rocklin on Tuesday and Wednes- dag, May 5 and 6. resent prospects of San Francisco for securing the great international Conven- tion of the Christian Endeavor for 1897 are very flattering.

The Templar - Exhibition Drill and Ball a Social and Artistic Success. The Templar drill and ball given by Golden Gate Commandery at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion last night was a success. There were several thousand people pres- ent. It was a gathering of culture and fashion. The proceeds were donatea tq the fund for the erection of a Masonic Widows’ and Orphans’ home in Alameda County. It is expected that the corner stone of the proposed building will be laid this coming autumn. The Grand Lodge, mbordma_nte lodges, chapters, councils, commanderies and other branches of Masonry have joined in the establishment of this great charitv. And among the most activeof the organizations stands Golden Gate Commandery. The progra)x'nme of the fiesta last night was most satisfactory. It included sev- eral selections by the band, & trombone solo by F. R. Tobin and_ an address by Rev. Jacob Voorsanger. He spoke of the good work which the Knights Templars had accomplished and drew attention to the latest charitable enterprise that had been undertaken. fnt ; “The Masonic fraternity,” said Dr. Voorsanger, “is founded, not on glittering uniforms and splendid trappings, but upon the basis of the greatest of all reli- gion—the refigion of bumanity and char- ity. Thus Masonry has traveled down the ages, exemplifying its principles at every step.” B 3 Three uniformed companies of Sir Knights took part in the exhibition drill. It was a pretty spectacle as the battalion passed in review and the companies exe- cuted different figures, The organization of the battalion was as follows: Incommand, Charles H. Murphy, eminent commander. Adjutant, Williain Edwerds, past commander. Staff—C. L. Patton, captain-general; R. Ash relate; and Past Commeanders James atch, J.F{ench,a. G.

A Dearth of Money in the Department for the First Time in Years Past. The present Board of Health bids fair to be the most expensive one that the tax- payers of San Francisco have supported for many years past, and leaving aside all demands for expenses, outside of salaries, the board is sure to find a deficit of over $5000 staring itself in the face for the pres- ent fiscal year. The Board of Health is allowed $29,900 per year to conduct its department, di- vided as follows: Health office salaries, $18,000; Health office expenses, $5000; Health Officer, $3000; City cemetery, $900; City Physician, $1800; Assistant City Phy- sician, $1200. Auditor Broderick has already audited bills up to April 1 of $24,495, leaving but $5405 in the department funds, and the April demands, amounting to $3548, are now in his hands and awaiting his signa- ture. Should he audit them the April bills will eat up all but $1857 of the $29,900 appropriated for the department, and this small sum must carry the department on until the new fiscal year, which be- gins on Juiy 1. As the matter now stands the deficit is sure to amount to $5239, leaving aside all expenses outside of salaries. omparison with the_ financial records of previous Boards of Health shows the present board up in rather a dubious light. For )’88IYB dpast the nprmprinfion made by the Board of Supervisors has been about the same, and the health authorities have managed to keep within it, or 80 nearly so that the difference in income and expense has been very small. Yor the fiscal year 1894-95 the board had an appropriation of $29,900, and managed to get along with $29,233, leaving a sur- plus for ils successors of $667. \51!.!: the advent of the present board the economical manner of conducting the Health Depart- ment underwent a change. Within the past few months political positions which entail an expense of $350 per month were created lnge other large expenses were incurred which have ser- iouslyl undermined the financesof the de- parument. Among the latter were the bills of Professors Hilgard and Rising of the university for the analysis of Spring Val- leEwuter during the recent investigation. ach of these scientists charged the board $100 for his few days’ work. Then fine furniture, cabinets, desks, etc., were added to the paraphernalia of the office, the bills_amounting to several hundred dollars. Bills of all kinds which were not thought of by the previous boards were passed without question, and the result is & deficit that will be bard to bridgs over. Ben Napthaly Arrested. Attorney Ben F. Napthaly was arrested yes- terday afternoon on a werrent charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses. The compl-hilns witness is Lulu Holland. She ‘was arrested & few days :ao and put up $25 cash bail, Judge Low fined her §5, and when she went to Clerk Sullivan to get the $20, the balance of her bail money, she found that Napthaly had previously presented an order mO] from her mm’ to come t.w!ha den! giving him an; and swore out a warrant for hi DRESSES AND SKIRTS Ready-to-wear Garments are a leading feature of our stock.

Richmond District People Will Seek to Forfeit Market-Street Company Franchises. It is the purpose of the people of Rich- mond, through the two improvement clubs, to demand of the Board of Super- visors that the Market-street company run a regular schedule on several roads in the district long unused or take up the rails, which now serve only to obstruct the streets, The particular fight will be made against the road running from California avenue down Seventh to the park. This line was practically abandoned eighteen months ago. At that time the Market-street com- pany inaugurated a once-a-week schedule— a car each way on Sundaly. This was kept up until six months ago, when even this makeshift was abandoned. The starting of Sutro’s road seems to have inspired this action. At least such is the prevailing idea in Richmond, where the residents contend that theirayowed friend- liness to the new electric line has Frompted Mr. Vining to inconvenience hem as much as possibie. There are some who think—among them being T. G. Parker—that the absolute abandonment of the Seventh-avenue line at this timeisa move on the part of the Market-street company to avoid paying taxes on the franchise from Point Lobos avenue to B street. Mr. Parker says the company did the same thing some years ago in the matter of the Point Lobos road. The petition requesting the Board of Supervisors to declare the Seventh-avenue franchise forfeited will be prepared the coming week. After that the fight on the other abandoned lines will commence. A GLUT OF SILE. No Less Than 60,000 Bales Now at Yokohama, the World’s Biggest Silk Market. Tafme Matsmoto of Tokio, who is at the Occidental, says there has been a tre- mendous glut in thesilk market in Japan lately. Because of this there has been a dullness in business all over the Mikado’s realm. “It was bright up to the time this came,” he sa “Yokohama, which is the great silk headquarters of the world, had at one time 60,000 pales of silk there and couldn’t get it away. That is an enormous amount of silk. The market was glutted and nothing could be done, Since then it has xgot started out a littie, but not much. It is yet dull. I think things will open up soon and then it will be more prosperous there. “Numerous new enterprises are under way in Japan. A number of iron foun- dries and spinning machines have lately been put in. No, foreigners are not doin, any of this. They would not be allowedg. alc.co;dmgn ::e t&e con:tituuun nobody but apal emselves ma; i such enterprises.’” o bty K. Unno, an extensive tea e: Chizuoks, the great tea center of apan, is with Mr. ‘Matsmoto. The Chizuoka pro- duces two-fifths of all the tea exported. They are en route to New York and Lon- don. orter of —————aa THE PARIS SALON. A. Altman Is the Only Oalifornia Artist ‘Who Will Exhibit This Year. Although there are at least a dozen California artists in Paris at the present time, only one will exhibit at the Salon, which opens in a few days. His name is Aaron Altman, and he left this City three years ago after finishing a two years’ course at the Art Institute. In a letter to his father telling of his good fortune Mr. Altman only briefly men- tions his work. He states_that one of the accepted pictures is “A Landscape” and the other “An Italian Woman.” “But he also states that his masters, Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant, declared them to be pieces of excellent work. He also showed them to Gerome, and the great painter said they were deserving of much credit. Mr. Altman’s work in the Art School here was always considered of a high order. The year before his departure he received the gold medal for drawing from life. His color work was always strong and rich, with a certdin picturesque qual- ity that showed a thorough comprehen- sion of the subject treated. He was al- ways & conscientious student, and to that is undoubtedly largely due his present great success. — e ——— ‘Women Walk Over Ice Wastes. Georgp Ecker of the State Harbor Police has returned here after three months at Juneau, Alaska, where he says everything is booming. Mr. Ecker tells that Fred Berry, who had made quite a stake in Alasku, returnéd to Fresno re cantly and married an attractive young lady tbere. They returned to Alaska, and Mrs, Berry and another ledy, accompanied by Mr. Berry, started on a walk over the ice of over 1500 miles to the gold fields on the tributaries of the Yukon. Theg had not been heard from for several weeks, but people hope they will get through all right. The ear is divided by anatomists into the external, the middie and the internal. NEW TO-DAY.
