THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1896 13 PSYCHOLOGISTS 0 AFTER YOUNG, Declare They Will Restore Mrs. Lieutenant Lasher’s Memory. ON THE MESSIAH'S TRAIL Said to Be the Mesmerist of a Very Nervous Young Woman. AN AGENT VISITS THE WIFE. Within One Month It Is Said She Will Hate the Sight of Young. OAELAND OFricE SAN Francisco CALL,] 909 Broadway, May 20. Mrs. Lasher, wife of Lieutenant Lasher of the United States steamsbip Adams, whose remarkable career has recently at- tracted so much attention, was visited to- day by a representative-of a San Francisco psychical society, who declares that she can entirely restore Mrs. Lasher’s reason and can exercise such an effect on her that the unfortunate woman will never want to see or hear Rev. F. F. Young again. Whoen Mrs. Lesinzsky, the woman whose mission it is to restore Mrs. Lasher’s rea- son, arrived at the house she was hardly yrepared for what she saw. The elegantly furnished drawing-room of the cozy home in which Lieutenant Lasher installed his attractive wife with her children has been crowded with dilapidated desks and a big blackboard dangles by a rope from the wall In explaining her methods Mrs. Lesinz- ¢ky said: “This man Young is but a type many whose influence we have de- stroyed. We act solely by the light of the word of God and claim that our calm ar- guments, which are the result of many years of deliberate study, will convince a victim and turn their minds entirely from their halueination. ‘I have tnorouchly studied the case of Mrs. Lasher and can sympathize with her as only & mother can. She is still young i lect, or that man wou!d never have ced her to throw over her mother and sister and open her home to him. He calls himself a Messiah, and if she should be sent to a iunatic asylum she wonld be I shall reason with her and at with her sympathetically. wake her think justes I think want to do just as I would want to do under the circumstances. Young is noth- g more or less than a criminal lunatic. he pcor woman believes that she is i the Kurd's will, because she is doi. Young has told her. She is a very ner- vous womzn and needs the personal care of 2 husband. So far as mental influence is concerned Young has occupied the hus- band’s place, but we will throw down his pretensions to Messiahship in that voung woman's mind before a8 month passes.”’ The San Francisco representative crossed the bay after her visit and intends to re- peat the dose until a cure shall have been effected. in the meantime Young is again in- stalled in the Lasher household. The neighbors say that he is in more danger of persoual castigation than heis aware of. There is a spirit of great indignation man- ifested, and at any bour there is likely to be a new development to the Fruitvale sensation. “This is my home, and thereforeit is | Christ’s home,” is Mrs. Lasher’s latest | apology for the ‘“Messiah.” *It isaschool of Christ. 1 put my motherana sister out and I will have no mure to do with them. My mother only wants to share my hus- band’s income.” She is seventeen years older than I am and sheis trying to win bim away from me.” Young bas a printing-press in the base- ment, and his tracts are said to be closely allied in spirit with those of Thomas Lake Harris. SECOND BENCHSHOW OPEN The Numerous Exhibits Fill Both Annex and Taber- nacle. Dogs of High Degree, Low Degree and of All Intermediate De. grees on Hand. OaxrAND OrFricE SAN FrANcIsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, May 20. The second bench show of the Alameda County Sportsmen’s Association opened to-day at the Tabernac! The dogs occupy both the annex and the main building and make a much bet- ter showing than last year, although the first exhibition was admittea to be very fine. Many local fanciers have entered their pets and it would be difficult to name a breed that is not represented. Messrs. Prather and Miiler have their Pastime cocker spaniel hounds on exhibi- tion, in all seven prize dogs, one of whom, Woodtawn Duke, is the recognized leader of his class. Dr. D’'Evelyn’s prize kennel of wire- haired English fox-terriers are also there. These dogs have been in every bench show in the country during the past year. One oi them, Dudley Stroller, has taken the first prize wherever exhibited. There are also trained dogs on exhibition, and tlhe attendance on the opening day was arge. The following awards have been made: Mastiffs, open, dogs—Karl, owner Albert Sutton, Sgn Franeisco, first; Major, owner George Wejsman, San Francisco, second ; Mack, owner Mrs. H. A. Chapman.

It Will Give the Hospital Over Two Thousand Dollars. OAKLAND, Car., May 20.—The finan- | cial resnit of the recent Fabiola fete was | made known to-night. The hospital will | receive $2100, which is nearly as much as | was realized last year when the meteoro- | logical conditions were more favorableand | society took much greater interest in it | than that was shown on May day. { The total receipts of the fete from gate money, subscriptions from street railroads, | sale of concessions and the proceeds of the souvenir issued by the ladies amounted to $5700. The expenses of the grand stand are greatly reduced by the sale of the lum- ber of which it was built. The ladies’ souvenir neited $560. They | worked hard among the merchants and | tueir efforts as advertising solicitors were | well repaid. | President Davis is very elated over the outcome. ‘‘At 10 o’clock on the morning of the fete,” said he to-day, “when Isaw | the clouds, 1 would haye sola my expecta- tions for $100. Now I think that consider- | ing our difficulties, we scored a great suc- | cess.” Miner Killed. | OAKLAND, Car., May 19.—James Mec- | Geen, = miner at the Corrali Holiow coal mines, near Livermore, was killed about 11:30 o’clock to-day by being thrown from the bucket s he was coming up from the bottom of the shaft.

WILL CONTINUE TO-DAY Miss Yates, Miss Hay, Mrs. Dr. Kellogg-Lane and Others Speak. CRESCENT BICYCLE RACES. Handicap Events to Take Place on the San Pablo Road May Thirtieth. BERKELEY, Oar, May 20.— The Woman’s Suffrage convention, which opened at Shattuck Hall this afternoon, drew forth a large number of the promi- nent ladiesof Berkeley. There was a scat- tering of gentlemen also among the audi- ence. The speakers of the afternoon were Miss Hay, Mrs. George W. Haight, Mrs. Albert Carlisle, Mrs. Clara Partridge and Mrs. Dr. Kellogg- Lane. On the platform sat Mrs. George W. Haizht, president of the Berkeley Suffrage Society; Miss Hayv, National organizer; Mrs. Wood, president of the Alameda ‘Woman's Suffrage Club; Mrs. Alice E. S. Bangs, Mrs. Clara Partridge, Mrs. Eleanor Carlisle, Miss Sarah Severance, Mrs. R. P, Thomas, Mrs, Naylor and Mrs. William | Keith. The exercises opened with a prayer by Mrs. Nayler, after which the entire con- vention rose and sang several versesofa hymun. The two most prominent and lengthy addresses of the afternoon were made by Mrs. Partridge and Mre. Carlisle. After the opening remarks to the con- Mosgorty, San Francisco, | vention by Miss Hay and the address of | welcome by Mrs. Haight the *‘Symposium on Woman's Enfranchisement,”” consist- | ing of three ten-minute papers, opened. Tke subject which Mrs. Carlisle handled was, “Does the Wife and Mother Need the Ballot?" She discussed her subject from the broadly ethical basis and adhered closely to the principles of logical argument. *“The one problem of modern social in- vestigation,” said Mrs. Carlisle, “‘is how to marshal all forces in the state to their practical and logical fulfillment. The nobiest work of humanity is to recognize the common burden of responsibility and S0 10 organize its energies that the fullest ethical and economical conditions shall work impartially through every stratum of society. ‘ Mothers that are not free cannot pro- duce well-balanced citizens. They bave no reason to do so; they have no power to do so. As society is constructed to-day a mother instead of feeling the state to be a | larger home for the cuild looks upon it as a real menace both to herself and to her child. Tne youth of the country are given over to our direction. Perfect mother- hood demands that we have authority as | complete political factors, in order to make these sonscomplete. That politics will contamiinate the mother is no argu- ment. If character is meant for oniy the test of zood environment then character is not of much value. ““Women cannot institute reforms for the preservation of the homes, for they | have no authority to carry them threugh, | Their very best efforts in social reforma- tion are, at the most, but an illogi toring of abuses, rather than of eradics tion. The home depends upon the the state depends upon the tomes. Their respective functions are equal in imapor- tance. One should bear no greater social significance than the other. itis the cir- cle within the circle. The franchise will broaden the home life of the mother; the home life will produce motive power to perpetuate the state on just and equitable lines,” Mrs. Clara Partridge took for the topic of her paper “Does the Business Woman Need the Ballot?” The remarksof Mrs. Partridge were bright and sparkling throughout and full of wit and humcr. She sketched first the life of the business woman and the many pursuits in which women of business are to-day engaged. “No avenue,” said she, “is closed to them. They are represented in nearly every indusfry. All who are opposed to equal suffrage seem to be bound by a false conception of the being and powers of women. Business women need the ballot for they have material interests at stake. The wages of women who are in business | }zursui(s are affected by thelaws of the and, and in consequence they should have a band in the making of these laws. “Women operate sawmills in Maine and gold mines in California. On the Great Lakes she captains sailing vessels, al doc- | state; | the steamers that ply the Mississippi. In Oakiand she builds houses—driv- ing the nails straight, too—and in San Francisco she has forsaken the rouge-pot for white lead and oil and has gone to painting houses instead of faces. She has dropped the cold poker as an instrument of warfare and is using it hotto decorate the homes of her millionaire sisters who *don’t’ want the ballot, and can’t under- stand why women want to meddle in { men’s affairs anyway. “She is keeping books as well as making them. She manufacturessewing machines and uses them. She owns her own stock ot dry goods and measures tape with the dapper young clerk who does not own even the week’s wages she owes him; but she has no voice in making the laws under which she conducts her business, while the man has. It is of supreme mo- ment to woman what policy the Gov- ernment pursues in regard to exports and imports. The man who deals in hides, | next door to the woman who carries on a wholesale paver trade isnotaffected finan- cially one whit more in proportion to his capital than she by free trade or protective tariff; and if she is to succeed she needs the same means of protecting her inter- estsas he, and that is the privilege of | choosing the law-makers of the land. “She needs the ballot in order that she may receive the same consideration that men do. The man who has it in his power to control legislation that may make or mar an importer's business 1s bound to receive at the hands of the trade greater benefits than the woman who has been disfranchised. The financial policy of the Nation means as much to her as it does to her masculine competitors. Its soundness or unsoundness will increase or diminish her income along with her brothers, and she should be allowed to de- clare for the free coinage of silverat 16 to 1 or for gold as she wishes. Man and woman salike bave an inalienable right to an opinion, and whether it be right or wrong of freely expressing it."” Mrs. Dr. Kelloge-Lane then gave an ex- temporaneous address on *‘Does the Pro- fessional Woman Need the Ballot?” She first told what the ballot stands for and what it does not stand for. She showed what it meant to Engiand, to the Trans- vaal and to other civilized parts of the earth which were in sympathy with and | strivinz for waman's suffrage. | “They areall clamoring for the ballot,” said she, “and it is only a matter of time when they will have it. In a body politic every individual should have the privi- lege of the ballot.” She referred to the fact that where woman enters into a field of labor with man, both work together better than alone and separate. - In the evening Attorney George W. Haight gave an address on “The Political Status of Woman.” President Richards of the Board of Town Trustees then in- troduced the speaker of the evening, Miss Elizabeth M. Yates of Maine, who spoke | along the same line as followed out by the speakers of the afternoon. The convention will be continued both to-morrow afternoon and evening. Miss Hay and Miss Yates, together with Mrs. | Haigbt and Miss Severance, will speak. | Crescent Yoad Race.

The ordinance was passed and sent to the Mayor for his signature or veto. Mayor Davie vetoed the ordinance. He said that it did not discriminate between the harmless candy machine and the per- nicious card-playing device that 1s the medium_between saloon-keepers and their patrons in settling accounts for drinks. Mr. Heitman thinks differently. He is opposed to gambling in all of its forms. He distinctly declares that all nickel con- trivances are games of chance. There is no reliability about them. It isa case of now you see it and now you don't. You put in a8 nickel and if the machine shouid happen to be in good working order you may get your wrong weight or a discord- ant tune. The speculative child may get iece of candy or he may not. The giddy co-ed or the theological student may get their fortune or they may not. The cigarette devotee may get a fragrant smoke or he may get consomme, All these points have been carefully con- sidered by Mr. arrived at’ the conclusion that no matter what guise the fake may wear the machine is a speculation pure and simple. The speculation consists not in the principle, but in the accidental circumstances that control the reward. Mayor Davie has not dealt much in nickel machines and has not had the mortification of standing on an iron plate waiting for the *‘correct weight with musi- cal accompaniment”’ that never came. Consequently he thinks that the nickel cigar and drink card machines shonld be taxed, but that the candy and peari- button machines are harmless and should go free. Mr. Davie and Mr. Heitman have locked horns on the degree of ev’l influ- ence that goes ont from the nickel-in-the- | slot machine, and legislation in that direc- tion is blocked. There will probably be | numerous passages at arms in the Council chamber and tfie Mayor will be called upon to explain, and in about two weeks the measure Will be passed over the Maror’s veto and some other equally important measure willthen be considered. prie Y e FGUGHT OVER CHILDREN, A Mother and Humane Society Agent Use Their Fists. Two Battles in West Oakland Neces- sary to Reach the Desired End. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcrsco OarLy, 908 Broadway, May 20. } A most exciting struggle for the pos- session of two children took place in West Oakland late last night. The mother was beaten, the baby screamed, but eventually, with the aid of the police and the agent of the children’s society, the little ones were rescued and went away with their mother. Mrs. Mary Cabral of 414 Eddyjfstreet, San Francisco, was separated from her hus- band some time ago, as he failed to pro- vide for his tamily. He was very anxious not to part with the children, but the court decided that the mother only was entitled to them and awarded them to her. The mother at first put them in aday nursery, but later she consented to let Mr. Kaneof tne Youths’ Directory put them in St. Joseph’s Asylum. On Tuesday Mrs. Cabral called to see the children, and was surprised to find that the father had called and taken them away just ten minutes before her arrival. After recovering her composure Mrs. Cabral started on a search. She obtained a clew that they were in San Leandro, and 8o she searched that town. Frank Kane and Mrs. Prescott of the Oakland society followed up every clew, and finaily Con- table Gallett gave his reasons why he thought the chbildren were in Oakland. The officers visited the Portuguese quarter on Peralta street. They went into a house and while the mother was talking Mrs. Prescott kept her eyes wide open. While talking the mother heard a cry that she knew to be that of her three-year- old child. She at once rushed into the next room and a struigle followed. Mr. Kane had returned to San Francisco and Mrs. Prescott and Mrs. Cabral were alone. Beveral people swarmed into the house, and when Mrs. Prescott saw the mother ‘was being struck she blew a police whistle. A stranger then left the house and Mrs. Cabral rushed out with ber child. No information could be learned of the months-old baby, but 8 man whispered to Agent Prescott that he could tell her where the baby was if she would giye him police protection. He eventually said that the chila could be found at the home of Dick Sutheriand on Pacific street. The motiier and her child and Agent Prescott went to Suther- land’s house foliowed by a procession of folks who bad witnessed the row. On arriving at the Sutherland house the women there admitted that the baby was inside. While talking Mrs. Cabral heard her baby prattling and at once rushed into the room and grabbed it. Another struggle followed and Mrs. Prescott and the mother had to fight with the crowd again.
