THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1896. 5 HOMEOPATHS END THEIR EETING, Talked of Insanity Mani-| fest in Abnormal Desires. LOCAL CASES ARE CITED. | Delegates Are Appointed to Sev-| eral Eastern Conven- tions. TOBACCO IS UNDER THE BAN, Committees on Next Year’s Pro- gramme and on the Place of Meeting. Afte three longand interesting sessions yesterday the California State Homeo- pathic Medical Society concluded its twentieth annual meeting and ended the celebration of the one hundredth anniver- sary of the establishment of the principles of homeopathy by Dr. Hahnemann. In all respects it was one ot the most successful, as it was the largest,of the con- ventions the homeopaths of this State have held. When the annual meeting opened the society had a membership of 98; when | it closed at the end of the third day there | were 122 physicians in California enrolled | as members. And the efficiency and good such a society is supposed to be propor- tional to the number of persons actively interested in its work. Mental and nervous diseases formed a bject that occupied the entire morning n. )r. H. R. Arndt of San Diego, as chair- man of this branch of discussion, opened the subj ley Dolan of San Bernardino, nt physician of the South- | vlum for Insane | | rier of San Francisco and Dr. Martin’s ideas called forth many expres- sions of individual commendation. The afterncon session began at 2 o’clock and continued until after 6. Three new members were voted into the soctety. They were Dr. Sophie B. Kobicko of San Francisco, Dr. M. M. Cronemiller of Sacramento and Dr. A. S. Larkey of Ozkland. President-elect Dr. Herbert M.

During his paper, and while citing ex- amples of the different forms of such per- version, he had this to say in connection with recent crimes in this City: The two women of the town who were mur- dered here in the City recently were un- doubtedly the victims of a ‘strangler.” The murderer of Blanche Lamont was also & “strangler undoubtedly enjoyed in- tense gratification while choking her to death. Thet the person who killed Blanche Lemont also murdered Minnie Williams I be- lieve tobe a fact for this reason, that these criminals after having once given way to lust- murder experience an intense desire; that they can receive the greatest gratifi- cation only by murder and mutilation.

William Simpson of. San Jose, in that many sewer systems and particularly | those of San Francisco are so poorly con- ““Some Notes on Sanitary Progress,” said | structed that they could be more cheaply | replaced by the best modern systems than repaired as they exist. Surgery was the next theme taken up. Dr. Pliny R. Watts of Sacramento described a case of ‘‘Surgical Reflexes.”’ Dr. E. R. Bryant of Ssn Francisco, in a paper dealing with ““Hip-joint Disease,”” advised putting the limb of the subject in plaster of paris, thus ‘avoiding the neces- gity of confining the patient to a bed. Ur. George H. Palmer of Ban Francisco gave some very practicalideas on “Tubercnlosis | of Bone.” Ophthalmology, otology and laryng: ology were treated in three papers. Dr. Simpson of 8an Jose cited a case of “Hem- orrhagic Glaucoma.”’ Dr. Peterson of San Francisco had for his sunject suppurative rhinitis in chkilaren. He expressed par- ticularly the thought that most children wear too much clothing and consequently catch cold easily. Dr. E. R. Bryant of San Francisco taiked of the “Treatment of Conjunctivitis Trachomatosa.” The use of tobacco came in for particular condemnation from the veteran doctor, J. M. Selfridge. of Oakland. He held the many. physicians who use the weed as locally responsible for the spread of the habit among youth. Dr. Arndt, a babitual smoker himself, agreed that tobacco is highiy injurious, especially to youth. He thought women could discourage it if they would honestly say they object to smoking. The centennial of homeopathic practice was celebrated in a symposium opened by Dr. Boericke of San Francisco, and par- ticipated in by the following: Dr. Wil- liam G. Cole of Guernevillie, who gave a concise statement of Hahnemann’s doc- trines as taught by himself; Dr. H, R. Brandt, who told of a century’s modify- ing influence upon them; Dr, 8. E. Chap- man, who dealt with tneir essential truth as the basis of therapeutics; and Dr. C. V. C. Scott, whose theme was ‘Loyalty to Homeopathic Principles.’’ As the discussions were continued it be- came evident that the programme could not be completed without a very iate ses- sion, 5o many of those who had papers to read agreed to have them mentioned sim- ply by title pending their eventual publi- cation in the journal of the society. Following is the list: Dr. E. R. Bryant of San Francisco with a paper on “Knowl- edge of Anatomy, Pgs-aiology and Pathol- ogy Essential to Good Therapeutics’’; Dr. | asked for furt, Discussed “Tuberculosis of | | party that Alice Bush of Oaklan Anatomy and Pnysiology of Kidneys”: Dr. A.

Manning of San Francisco, *‘The Importance of Urinal- ysis.” * Dr. Boericke was one of the last speakers. His subject was “*‘Homeopathy as an Educational Factor.” He was fol- lowed by Dr. Clara H. Case of San Fran- cisco with ‘“Homeopathic Physicians as Insurance Examiners,” a subject founded on her daily work. Fitting tributes were paid the late Dr. James E. Lilienthal and the late Dr. E. P. Gaylord, respectively, by Dr. Frederick G. Canney of San Francisco and Dr. C. S. Tisdale of Alameda. With expressions of highest commenda- tion for the untiring work of Dr. Eleanor F. Martin, the secretary, to whom the suc- cess of the meeting was partially due, with a vote of thanks to the press of San Fran- cisco for its kindly treatment and with general expressions of satisfaction the twentieth annual meeting adjourned a little after 11 o’clock. NAGLE LAID TO REST. ‘Was the Youngest of California’s Pio= neers and a Member of the Bohe- mian Club. The funeral of the late George W. Nagle took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The simple Episcopal funeral service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Moreland of 8t. Luke’s Church in the parlors of Pioneer Hall, from which place the long funeral cortage started for Laurel Hill Cemetery, where the remains were interred in the family plot. The marshal and a delegation of Pio- neers accompanied the procession, for Mr. Nagle had been a ’49er, although he was but three years of age when he arrived in California. The pail-bearers—all members of the Bobemian Club and personal friends_of the deceased—were Raphael Weil, Henry Marshal, Vandrelyn Stow, Charles G. Yale, H. M. Bosworth and John Lathrop. The Bohemian Club also sent as special representatives its vice-presi- dent, Peter Robertson, and its secretary, Dopald Grabam. Many beautiful floral pieces attested the kind thoughts of former friends. FORGOT SHE WIS WED. The Charming Maxine Elliott Has No Thought of Divaorce. And All Rumors to That Effect She Positively Avers Are Groundless. Miss Maxine Elliott, the charming lead- ing lady of the Frawley company, was | questioned last night at her apartments in | the Baldwifi regarding a rumor extant to the effect that she had come to San Fran- cisco with the avowed intention of procur- | ing adivorce from ner husband, who is in the East. She said there was absolutely no ground {for the report whalever that she had | given the matter of divorce no thought at all. In fact she went further than that and averred she had taken but brief and DY _of | infrequent thought even of her married San Francisco and Dr. J. C. Kirkpatrick | te. 'Oh, heavens!” she exclaimed, with a little move, when the que-tion direct was asked, “What will the papers say next? It is groundless, groundless. I never have thought of such a thing, I have enter- tained no idea whatever of getting a divorce. This is not the first time that Eastern papers have published this about m e. “Why, do you know,” sbe continued en- ergetically, “I had positively forgotten that I was married. It remained for soma person whose hands were idle to rake it up for me. “But why should I care if these reports are sent out. Do you think I would come clear across tne country if I wanted a divorce? I assure you I have not thought about it at all.” CONTINENTAL LEAGUE. Earnest Republicans Are Eallying to the Front With a Determina- tion to Win. The Continental League of the Republi- can party held its usual weekly meeting last night at its headquarters on Larkin street, Chairman Frank Worth presiding. Maurice C. Asher, secretary of the league, announced that 147 names had been added to the roll during the week, thus making the membership 568 in all since the organ- ization of the league. The brigede committee, who in conjunc- tion with the executive committe= had been instructed to secure a suitable hall for drill mxrgose,_ reported progress and er time. The executive committee was instructed to make preparations for a big ratification just as soon as the presicent gshould be nominated at St. Louis. Captain Bell, chairman of the brigade, and Amos Curry of the executive committee will co- operate in this movement, and San Fran- | cisco will send back words of good cheer to the Republicans of the East on the suc- cess of the convention, Mrs. Ada Ballon and Mrs. Dr. Noble ap- peared before the league and spoke words of encouragement for the epublican bad done so much for the women of America. They invited the officers and members to pay them a visit at the California Hotel at the nexi meet- ing of the Women's State Central Repuo- lican Club. The invitation was accepted and a vote of thanks extended to the ladies for their visit. Frank Roony offered a resolution, which was accepied, indorsing the action of the Republican Convention which met at Bacramento for the manner in which delegates had been_selected to represent California at the National Convention, especially that portion in which McKinley | was named as the choice of this State. Chairman Worth a'pgoim.ad John Berg, J. F. Bernard, A. W. Schealer, E. James and W. Mulhner a glee club for the league and also Dr. B, F. Flemming, A. E. Guss- man, Thomas C. Maher, H. Jones and John Gilson as a committee on entertain- ment. County Clerk C. F. Curry addressed the meeting, paying his respects to Grover, who knowing that the last days of the Democratic party were fast approaching had secured for such of them asarein office a perpetual billet under the guise of civil service reform. The only wonder, he said, was that Grover did not declare his own office as one that came under this rule. This saily created much merriment ond langhter. The incomparable C. W. Kyle was the next speaker. He dwelt at some length on the blessings of protection of labor under Republican administrations. Captain Bell, Hugh Fraser, Will E. Fisher, and other members of the league, made short speeches, after which songs and music were introduced. —_————— Another Maid Sacrificed, A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of Edward Caldwell on a charge of abduction. Caldwell was engaged to be married to a young woman of Alameda, and several weeks ago he got $2 50 from the girl's mother with which to procure a marriage license. He brought the girl over here and placed her in a house on Howard street. After living with her a few days he sought to traffic on her shame, and, failing in that, he abandoned her. The girl is 16 years of age. | LEGISLATICN O MORAL SUBJECTS, No Wine at Feasts of the Grand Lodge of 0dd Fellows. GILROY WINS THE DAY. Rebekahs Favor Removing the Orphans’ Home From Thermalito. SOME IMPORTANT DECISIONS. No Benefits for Those Members Who Meet Death in the Commission of Crime. Though the Grand Lodge of the I. 0. 0. F. of California has now been busily en- gaged in discussing those weighty ques- tions which must of necessity come before Past Grand Master William H. Parnes, the Veteran Odd Fellows’ Asso ing fraternity had written a very dis- courteous answer to the grand master of this State upon being notified that he had violated the law of the order in having permitted lodges under his jurisdiction to solicit lodges gere to buy tickets for an en- tertainment in said jurisdiction, thereby trying to do bv indirect means what the rules proscribed. The committee on the state of the order approved the action taken by the grand master and recommended that the grand representative from this State to the Sovereign Grand Lodge be directed to bring the matter to the attention of that body. Amendments providing that lodges shoula not in future lend any funds to in- dividual members were adopted. The grand master’s proceedings during recess in granting dispensations, in grant- ing and refusing various permissions and in granting and recalling charters were approved. The temperance question was brought forward again, ratified and approved. Henceforward no malt or spirituous liquors can be_used at any banquet or_en- tertainment given by or in the name of the order, whether held in the lodgeroom or anywhere else. ermission to institute & new lodge work in the German tongue was granted. Charters for two subordinate and four- teen Rebekah lodges that have been in- stituted since the last session were also granted, % In order to finish the work early to-day it was found necessary to hold an evening session, beginning at 7:30 . M. By this proceeding the lodge concluded that it could reasonably expect to end its labors by to-day at noon. Nothing was done during the evening session except to clean up the daily sheet and make a few minor changes in the management of the home, with the exce; tion that another slight change was made in the matter of dues. Past Grand Master Barnes gave notice of appeal tothe Sover- eign Grand Lodge on the ground that two former decisions had been already made. Who Has Been Re.elected Secretary of ciation for the Eighteenth Time such a body for four days, the members and delegates are still fresh in body and in mind. Yesterday’s session was marked by the consideration of some new and im- portant guestions, and the lodge came to the discussion of them with minds not at all tired by the preceding sessions, The morning meeting was taken up mostly with a discussion of the report of the committee on appeals. Many of these evoked lengthy discussion. In the case of Herman Wittenberg against Germania Lodge the law was laid down that if a brother had money to his credit for advance dues, and in the mean- time fines or assessments were charged against him, his rights to benefits could not be forfeited until thirteen weeks had elapsed from the time the credits to his account had been exhausted. A magnificent collection of architectural drawings, the work of Herman and Swain, architects, are now on exhibition in As- sembly Hall. They donated free of cost by the owners. The decisions of the grand master, made during the recess, which were offered to the committee on appeals, were all ap- proved with the exception of unimportant changes in Nos. 4 and 32. It wasresolved that hereafter permanent secretaries will be required to open a | ledger account with the Grand Lodge, in which all sums sent to the latter, either directly to the grand secretary or through | the district deputy, shall be entered. Certain matters pertaining to aged and infirm members and to aged and infirm members of lodges that have surrendered their charters are still under considera- tion. A careful canvass among the mem- bers tends to show that the majority are in favor of extending aid to members of old and indigent lodges that have gone out of exister.ce. The proposition for a $5000 permanent memnbership in the Odd Fellows’ Home at Thermalito has not yet called forth deci- sive action. This, together with all otuer unsettled questions, will be disposed of at to-day’s session. The trustees of the home have signified their intention of asking for an appropria- tion of 50 cents per capita for the mainte- nance of the home. If the Grand Lodge comes to the conclusion that such a tax is necessary, it will doubtless let the amount be 75 cents per capita, and an L _extension of about eighty feet will be added to the building. The first item considered in the after- noon was the constitution of the Rebek- ahs. After several slight amendments it was passed as a whole, and the assembly empowered to make rules of order as they may decide. The appeal of Past Grand Holmes against Circle Lodge was referred back to the committee. The Grand Lodge de- cided that when a mar loses his l:ife among disreputable companions and under shameful circumstances he forfeits all claims to benefits from the order. The one thing that was given the most careful ana searching investigation was the trouble that has existed for the past vear between the grand masters of Califor- nian and the Wyoming lodges. They have had along correspondence, in which the grand master of the Wyom- were framed and | | | | REBEKAHS’ LABORS. They Expect to Finish the Work by Noon To-Day—Fourteen New Lodges. The entire morning session of the Re- bekahs was devoted to a consideration of the question of removing the orphans’ home from Thermalito to Gilroy. Much warm discussion was elicited, but it was plainly to be seen that the oppo- nents of the change were many and the proponents few. Senator Jomes of Oroville tock the stand that removal oi the home from its present situation would cause confusion and the change was entirely unnecessary. In reply Past Grand Master Gosbey ar- | gued that the educational advantrges and | larger facilities for enjoyment that could | be had at Gilroy would more than com- pensate for the confusion arising from the change. He aiso thought it were better | for the children to be placed where they | could not clash with the older inmates of | the Odd Fellows’ Home. When the matter was put to a vote it stood 202 in favor of Gilroy and twelve for Thermslito. The question was then re- ferred to the Grana Lodge for final action. In the afternoon the committee on the state of the order brought in itsreport. It showed that fourteen new lodges have been instituted during the past yvear, and that two have surrendered their charters. A constitution and by-laws for the subordi- nate lodges was adopted. There was no evening session, not even the conferring of degrees. To-day will be devoted to a consideration of repor lutions and all unfinished busines: ladies expect to finish,their work by noon to-day.

Her life has been singularly in- teresting. The lady, whose fuli name is Constance Georgine Louise de Bourbe! e Mon.t]uncon. was born on March 28, 1838, at Florence, Italy, her father being the Marquis de Bourbel, who was of one of the most ancient families of France. Having lost her parents early in life Constance de | Bourbel was educated in England and lived with her aunt there until in 1863, | Count Noe when she married her cousin, Wachtmeister, then Swedish and Nor- wegian Minister at the court of St. James. They resided for three years at Copen- hagen and then the Counr having been appoimnted Minister of Foreign Affairsin Srieden they removed to Stockholm, where the Countess was created a “'state lady of theland’’ and was the last to receive such a title, as 1t then became extinct. The Count died in 1871, leaving one son, who is now also a member of the Theo- sophical Society. In 1881 the Countess joined the society, and has ever since ae- voted herself and her wealth to its cause. She has written several papers and essay! but is best known by a_book which g an account of how Madame Blavasky wrote the Secret Doctrine. Wachtmeistery is now and has been a veg- etarian for fourteen years. In person she is of about the medium height with blonde hair and blue eyes, a pleasant voice, and her face has a singularly sweet expression. The Countess’ pure” English betrays no trace of her foreign origin, and her enunciation is clear and perfect. This lady, who has devoted her life and her Countess | | wealth to theosophy, spent last year lec- turing in this country '0 her surprise she wasinvited by clergymen to lecture in their churches, principally those of the Pres rian,Unitarian 2nd Universalist denomina- tions. She has lectured here to two thor and personsin a church with the clergy- her side.
