THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1896. MANY MEDICOS DISCUSS DISEASE, Homeopaths of California Convene to Exchange Ideas. JOIN IN A JUBILEE. Just One Hundred Years Since Hahnemann Founded This School. UNUSUAL INTEREST AROUSED. Attendance and New Members in Excess of Former Years—Women Well Represented. The California State Homeopathic Medi- cal Society began its twentieth annual ses- sion yesterday forenoon in the Maple Room of the Palace Hotel. Over sixty doctors, about a fourth of | them women, were present as representa- tives of various parts of the State. The morning session was occupied prin- cipaliy by routine business, including re- ports of officers and committees. Fourteen new members were elected, 8 | decided increase over records of previous years. The membership of the society at | present is 112, the largest it has eyer been. | Following are the physicians who were | voted in: Dr. J. F. Tapley of Marysville, Dr. W. N. Lamb of San Francisco, Dr. J. 8. Hodge of Pasadena, r. H. P. Stipp of | Winters, Dr. Ida B. Stanbach of Santa Barbara, Dr. R. L. Hill Jr. of Oakland, Dr. G. L. Long of Fresno, Dr. A. L. Cunning- ham of Oakland, Dr. N. . Chamberlain | of Oakland, Dr. Carra B. Scofield of Oak- | sults. | some fresh ai | to land, Dr. Eva L. Harris of OQakland, Dr. Mary Ellen Hoffman of San Francisco, | Dr. J. Kaste: of San Francisco, and | Dr. C. B. Hasti of Selma. The president’s annual address was de- livered by Dr. C. B. Currier of this City, whose term of office expires to-day. Speaking of purpose of the assem- blage he said: “It becomes us as pro- fessional men and women to come together , and if we find in our therapeutic capital any deteriorated or damaged stock there for months, during which time she was a steady patron of fortune-tellers. She was a nervous woman, who was likely, under pressure, imagihary or otherwis to go to extremes, and after a slight tiff with her mistress, Mrs. Manson, Tuesday last, over household affairs, she was weak enough to seek death instead of an ex- planation. B Marsden Manson, formerly the engineer for the Board of Harbor Commissioners, who was the employer of the dead girl, and whose father-in-law met death 1n the same tragedy, was seen yesterday by & | CALL reporter shortly after the tragedy was discovered. His Ristory of the affair is the most complete that the Coroner or any one else has been able to obtain. “‘Sunday and Monday,”” Mr. Manson stated, ‘*Marie was very lively and pleas- ant. Mrs. Manson and I expected to go to Berkeley this morning, and subse- quently we were to take a country trip lasting several months. Marie was to be left in charge of the house with our father, Mr. Chase, the father of my wife. We had the utmost confidence in her, and are posi | tively dumfounded that she says any- { thing in her ante-mortem letters regard- ing accusations made against her honesty. “Yesterday Marie burned a little basket which was of absolutely no intrinsic value to any one. She shoved it in tbe fire and that was the end of it. To my wife and tke old gentleman it meant a great deal as a memento, and pern&gs they may have chided her about it. But that was not enough to make her commit suicide. “This morning when it was about time for the girl to prepare breakfast, Mrs. Manson, as was her custom, stamped on the floor of our bedroom. By this she was usually enabled to awaken thegirl. As Marie did not answer my wife’s call, she went downstairs to awaken her. “Imagine her horror as she opened the kitchen door. Her father lay dead, to all appearance, in the armchair, and the over- whelming odor of gas told the story. “Mrs, Manson screamed when she d what had occurred, and the re- 1 rushed down and dragged Mr. Chase from the room, trying to get him to We telephoned for phy- sicians on all sides and succeeded eventu- ally in getting Dr. Graham and a number of medical students from the Cooper Medi- cal Institu ‘When they arrived it was too late. Mr. Chase, who was over 80 years of age, already succumbed to the deadly fumes.” 'he unfortunate girl who committed real suicide was a native of Germany. Her parents are residents of Grants Pass, Or. She came to this City about seven months ago, and first went to live with her friend, Mrs. Pheebe Hillcourt, at 1507 Golden Gate avenue. Subsequently she obtained employment with the Man- sons as a domestic, From the letters that the girl left it is almost certain she knew that death was e her share. At the same time their wording is such that she must have been out of her mind when she penned them. | The first one is as follows: Dear Mamma, Papa and Brother: T will be dead to-morrow, but you must sll forgive me. It is not my fault. Forgive me. I swear in the name of God I have not done it. Good-by. Will see you soon again. Your dasughter and sister, MaRIE. Another was addressed to “Mrs. Hiil- court, 1507 Gough street.” It read as fol- lows: Dear Phaby : 1am accused as thief here, but I swenr in the name of God I am Mmnocent. will be dead to-morrow. Let Mr. Hilcourt send my trunk home to mamme. Bury me wherever you please, but forgive me for this, to weigh carefully that which is stiil in the experimental stage and to set the seal | of our approval upon that which has been | tried and not found wanting. These meet- | ings are our summer schools of good fel- | | lowship.” He spoke of the great value of the Roetgen ray to medical science and sur- gery and commented upon the possibili- ties yet undeveloped in its usefulness. He sounded a note of warning against a too general use of coal tar preparationsasa hypodermic treatment for the opium habit, and in the same connection he as- serted - that the Keeley institutes are clos their doorsand giving way to hyp- notic influences as a substitute for the jag | syringe in the cure of the liquor habi:. The enormous gathering of Moham- medans as a result of their great annual sacred pilgrimage to Mecca, he declared, is the cause of cholera that nearly every year comes from the overcrowding of un- clean hordes, whose representatives subse- quently scatter the germs of the disease into China and Japan, where it becomes a continual menace to America and par- ticularly to California. In Southern Cali- fornia, Dr. Currier asserted, the death rate from consumption is, in proportion to population, much smaller than it wasin 18%0, and has been steadily decreasing since that time, although consumptives, even in the hopeless stages of the disease, continue to seek relief in the equitable climate of the southern coast. In the afternoon the report of the scien- tific committee was taken up, the follow- ing papers being read and so eagerly and freely discussed that many others on the programme had to be put off until to-day. This may necessitate four instead of thrae days for the whole session, as only one- sixth of all the papers have yet been read. ‘The papers were ‘‘Clinical Medicine and Electricity,” Dr. Herbert M. Bishop of Los | Angeles; wo Peculiar Cases of Throat Troubles,”” Dr. A. C. Peterson of San Fran- cisco; ‘‘Clinical Cases,” Dr. W. A. Ledyard of San Francisco. On the subject of ob- stetrics; “Post-partum Hemorrhage and Retained Placenta,” Dr. James T. Martin of Woodland; ‘“‘Abortion,” Dr. Susan J.| Fenton of Oakland; ¢Sterility,”” Dr. Bertha Wagner Stark of S8an Francisco; ‘‘Ante-natal Influence,” Dr. Carolin L. Guild of san Francisco, Dr. J. M. Selfridge | of Oakland, and Dr. Pratt of San Jose. The fact that Dr. Hahnemann founded the principles of homoepathy just 100 years ago was fittingly celebrated last night at Native Sons’ Hall. Friends of the school and of its chief exponents in this City filled the large auditorium and | the galleries, which were still gay with the elaborate decorations and yellow bunt- ing that formed so pleasing a setting for the great Woman’s Congress that had held forth there during the previous week. Included inthe programme were: In- troductory remarks, by George H. Martin, M. D.; an original poem, “Hahnemann,” by Hayes C. French, M. D.; a vocal solo, by Mrs. Eva Tenney; an oration, by H. R. Arndt, M. D, and a violin solo, by Noah Brandt. CAUSEDA DOUBLE TRAGEY Marie Eismann’s Desperate Sui-| cide Led to Another’s Death. She Turned on the Gas and Killed James Allen Chase as Well as Herself, Marie Eismann, a German girl, hardly twenty years of age, committed suicide yesterday by turming on the gas in the kitchen of the house in which she was employed at 2010 Gough street. She lay down to meet her death in an adjoining room, and nothing but a plain snicide could be recorded bui for the fact that an Innocent man walked into a death-trap, as it were, and suffered the consequences. Marie Eismann was a domestic in the house of Marsden Manson. She had been | s I cannot overcome being a thiei. | friend in heaven, Your MARIE. P. S.—Console and write comfort to ;y poor father and mother, my darling Phaeby. The oddest g:lnl. of the whole story is the death of old Mr. James Allen Chase, the father of Mrs. Manson. He was in the habit each morning of toddling out and getting his daily newspaper from the front stoop. He then went to the back of the house, which had a warm southern ex- posure, so as to read in comfort in the kitchen. In doing this he ran into the heavy fumes of the gas, and at his age of 80 he was not able to fight against its in- fluence. —————— The Grand Jury. OAKLAND, CaL., May 13.—The Grand Jury to-day had under consideration the killing of a young man named Mooney at Sixteenth-street station recently, and the aileged bribery of witnesses in the inquest over the remains of May Quill, who was killed at Berkeley last December. ———— Runaway Accident. OAKLAND, Can, May 13.—William Shepard and daughter of Moraga Valley were thrown from their wagon in East Oakland this morning. The box covered them, and when it was lifted both were found uninjured. 1 THE LONG SHOTS RETURN WINNERS, Racing at Ingleside—“La- dies’ Day” a Trifle Mixed. THREE FAVORITES WON. Masses of Humanity Aliest the Popularity of the Sport of Kings. DUKE STEVENS AT LAST WON. Silverado Got the Hurdle Run on a Foul—Huntsman Skipped In at 10 to I. Ladies' day at Ingleside is now quite the proper fad. Four or five thousand mem- bers of the weaker sex and a couple thou- sand of the stronger descendants of Adam of Garden-of-Eden fame saw the racing yesterday, and the movement looking toward woman suffrage appears to be swimming on the top wave of success. As the season draws to a close, the ‘‘sport of kings,” instead of diminishing, seems to be increasing in popularity. The cars con- veying passengers to the picturesque course were literally packed. and the bronzed sons of sunny 1taly, toiling in the vegetable gardens adjacent to the track, eazed in astonishment at the moving masses of humanity on wheels. Once inside the grounds and the battle for wealth began. The ring experienced | one of the liveliest betting days of the meeting. Messenger-boys with commis- sions from fair bettors up in the grand stand were scooting around among the crowd thicker than mosquitoes in fishing time. Seven favorites went to the post, of which number three were returned win- ners, long-priced outsiders taking the balance, a medley of mixtures that should please the most fastidious spectator. The Roman put the big throng in good humor by taking the oDenin% four-furlong dash, starting at 4 to 1, equa! Widow Jones. Dolce was a good second, with Santa Paula finishing in the show. The six-furlong handicap with five start- ers that came next, however, resulted in a big dump. Midas was backed down from 6to b to 9 to 10 and exhibited about as much speed as a prize cow, finishing the poorest sort of a third. Olive, the 9 to 5 second choice, won handily at the end from Nebuchadnezzar. The mile and three-eichths handicap hur- dle went to the 9 to 5 favor verado, through a disqualification. lo, who | went back in the betting from 8 to 5 to | fours, won handily, but J. Murphy, the rider of the post chLoice, entered a claim of foul, which was allowed by the judges, after Clancy, who piloted Hello, had made the admission that he interfered with Murphy’s mount. Ten selling platers went to the post in the fourth race, a mile selling affair, Elmer F was favorite around post time, and although making a very creditable showing, was beaded out at the wire by the 8 to 1 chance Huntsman, who beat him two lenghts in 1:4434. The six-furlong sprint that followed saw nine more of the cheaper class of horses face the starter. Governor Budd at 3! had a slight call in the betting over Lu- cille, Doubtful and O’Fleta, but ran un- placed. After making most of the run- ning Red Pike was beaten out the last jump by Doubtful, ridden by Butler. The notorious old rogue Duke Sievens was backed down several points from 10 to 1 to pull off the sixth number on the card, also over six furlongs, and did it in clever fashion, piloted by Charley Weber. He was away 1n front, and, ridden out, “THE CALL’S” RACIING GUIDE. To-Day’s Entries at California Jockey Club’s Bay District Track.

Aditer betting had progressed for a short time on the fourth race, Fair Faith was scratched and twenty minutes allowed for a new book. Flammifer appears to be unfortunate, for he was again left at the post. Bookmaker George Rose will give Rear Guard to any one that will assure the bay horse a good home. Rear Guard is a bay horse by Post Guard-Alfonie Carter, and as he is’a staliion, should be a desiruble acquisition to some small breeder. %his action of the well-known penciler is certainly a most commendable one, for many owners when the once petted racer’s day of usefulness 1s o’er sells him for a song, to do duty as a carhorse or end his days at the merciless hands of the cheap cab driver, Captain Rees, the presiding judge at Ingleside, who departed for Cincinnati last evening, was compelled to leave before “THE CALL” justitied the confidence reposed in her by | celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Commandery of California. Major W. B. Hooper, the retiring com- mander, nlint’uished command in a grace- ful speech. The newly elected com- mander, General 8. B. M. Young, being at Sequoia National Park with the Fourth United States Cavalry, the duty of re- sponding to Major Hooper devolved on aymaster Skelding of the navy. The subject of the evening was “Mem- ories of the Past,” and the chief speakers were General P. F. Walsh, Captain C. A. Sumner, Colonel W. R. Smedberg and Timothy Guy Phelps. 3 The banquet hall and reception-rooms of the Occidental Hotel were appropriately festooned with flags and streamers in honor of the anniversary event. The pleasure of the evening was enhanced by eloquent music. In the record of annual assembles the recorder notes the exact time that the band plays *“We Won't Go Home Till Morning,”” and the record is preserved in the archives of the com- mandery. —————— Wanted at Coll FRESNO, Cir., May 13.—Joe Kelly, a tramp, was brought in from Collis to-day and lodged in jail on a charge of assault. He was trying to steal a ride on a passen- ger train and was put off by the conductor. Picking up a rock Kelly fired it at the trainman, who was standing on the plat- form. The train was pulling out from Collis, and instead of hitting the conductor the rock went through the car window and struck a lady. The glass also cut her face badly. RACING CHART.

Californians to Leave Jume 1 for 8t. Louis With a Grand Hurrah. STRAW HATS, SUMMER SUITS. Elaborate. Arrangements for Transportation and Accommoda- tion of Delegates. the The California delegation to the Repub- lican National Convention in St. Louis | will have good reason for mutual con- gratulations on the arrangements for the journey. Every man in the delegation will be made as happy and as comfortable as & traveler may hope to be, and it is highly probable, too, that he will feel proud of how California shall compare with other States. He will have a dis- tinctive summer dress, a badge typical of | the Golden State, a cane cut from an orange grove and his full share of comfort and pleasure 8o much has been settled by the commit- tee on transportation and management at a meeting held in the Union League Club rooms. The committee consists of John D. Spreckels, Daniel T. Cole and O. A. Hale, and it was appointed at a meeting of the delegates at Sacramento. ‘When it met in the Union League Club John D. Spreckels was elected chairman. It was decided then to leave San Fran- cisco June 11,at 10 A. M., for St. Lonis, which city will be reached the following Monday at 9:30 A. M. The route selected is over the Central Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lines. A special train comprising three sleepers, a dining-car and a compos- ite car,with baggage compartment, barber- shop, reading-room and smoking-room, will carry the delegation to and from the convention city. Arrangements were made to have the cars decorated in appro- priate style. Messrs. Spreckels and Cole were ap- pointed a sub-committee to secure the necessary badges for the delegates. These badges will be of & design typifving Cali- fornia and, of course, the Republican party. The commiitee concluded that all dele- gates should wear white straw hats with broad brims, black alpaca coats, white | vests and neckties, and russet shoes. A. B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa, secretary of the delegation, has oftered to supply | canes of orangewood, as a characteristic emblem of California, for the delegates to carry into the Wesi—or, according to a Californian view, the East. An invitation will be sent to the Nevada delegation to join the train en route and proceed with it to St. Louis. If the Ne- vada neighbors conclude to accept the in- vitation a special car, reserved for them, will be hitched to the tran at Oakland for their exclusive use and benefit. Partial arrangements have been made for the delegation’s accommodationsin St. Louis, but it was found that additional rooms would be needed, and Mr. Cole was instructed to communicate with the Tippe. canoe Club of that city to secure them. The headquartets of the California dele- gation will be in the Southern Hotel. The special train is intended to accom- modate the delegates, alternates and their wives. As room will necessarily be limited, it is requested by the committee that alternates and their families who intend to go communicate at once with Mr. Lem- mon of Santa Rosa, giving full particulars of number of tickets wanted and extent of accommodations desired in St. Louis. End of a Smalipox Neare. SANTA BARBARA, CaL.,, May 13.—Dr. R. B. Winchester, who to-day returned irom Sacramento, whither he was sent as a delegate to the Republican Convention, has made a thorough examination of the alleged smallpox patient taken captive by the authorities in_his absence, and com- pletely punctured a sensation by pro- nouncing the case a clearly defined one of chicken-pox.
