LITTLE HELENA WITHOUT A HOME An Unhappy Waif Deserted by Her Thoughtless Parents, NO ONE TO TAKE HER IN Suffering and Friendless, She Is Carried From Place to Place. DENIED EVEN A LITTLE COT. Was Left at the Children's Society Office by an Unknown Woman. OARLAND OrFricE SAN FrANcIsco CALL,} 908 Broadway, May 26. One of the prettiest little girls, just six- teen months oid and seriously ill, was car- ried over half the county to-day in a vain endeavor to find a place to lay its weary, feverish head. About 11 o’clock this morning a woman, who refused to give her name, called at the Children’s Society office and left a ht- tle girl, whose name, she said, is Helena. Mrs. Prescott, the agent of the society, was in court at the time, or more questions would have been asked. As it was, the | attendant took the child and its wardrobe | and kept them till the agent came home. The story told by the woman is a little | too Tomantic to suit Mrs. Prescott and she would like to know more. The woman said that the little girl wassixteen months old and her parents were unknown. | She said that some well-to-do people in this city, whose names she refused to give, bad placed the child in her care, and as- sured her that they would take the neces- | sary steps to adopt it. ago the board bill of the baby had been regularly paid, and it had been liberally | supplied with clothes. This income sud- | deniy stopped, and the people assured the girl’s keeper that they had changed their mind, and that they do not intend to adopt it. As she had no means of com- peiling them to take it, and they no longer paid for its keeping, she took it to the so- ciety, as she could not afford to keep it for charity. The examination of the lirtle waif showed that it was seriously ill and needed immedate attention. The sad-looking little creature was not only turned out into a cold world, but was too sick to be out of her bed, suffering in- tensely with tonsilitis and whooping- cough. The Fabiola Hospital was asked to take ber in until she was ableto be placed in | an orphan asylum. The contagious na- | ture of both diseases, however, prevented | it. At Dr. Taylor’s sanitarium she could | 10t be received for the same reason. The little thing was taken to the Chabot Hou-e, then out to the Children’s Home at Temescal and finally to the West Oak- land Home. At each of these places there are numerous children and the matrons dare not expose them to the risk of conta- | on, much as they would like to help sick e Helena. 5 o’clock, after a hot day’s work, Mrs, Prescott took the child to the Receiving Hospital hoping to get itin there asan e 12 oy case, if only for a day or two, until some arrangements could be made. It was thought that the unbappy little creature could be sent to the County In- firmary, but little Helena could not be ad- mitted without a permit from Supervisor Chureh. Thelittle child was not even privileged to occupy one of the white cots of the hespi- tal, and while there it was seized with & sm of feverish coughing, and it was necessary to telephone to Dr. Dunn to re- lieve the paroxysm. When the poor child was made comiortable Mrs. Prescott gave Helena shelter for the night beneath her own roof, and to-morrow she will again start out and try to find a place where the ortunate little waif can be accorded the vilege of existing. Charges Against Gardner. OAKLAND, Car, May 26.—Mayor Davie created a mild sensation to-day at the meeting of the Board of Works by sending in a communication asking for the dismissal of Charles Gardner, clerk to the Chief of Police.

OAKLAND, Can, May 26.—There has been considerable interest manifested as to what part Lyon Post No.6, G. A. R., Dow under a ninety day suspension sen- tence, would take in the approaching Memorial day exercises in this city. The title to the soldiers’ plat is in their name, but owing to their present situation they can take no action as a G. A. R. post. Several meetings have been held of the members.of the post at which the matter has been considered, and they have now agreed upon a course of action which they make public in the following statement: To the Members of Lyon Post, No. 8 (suspended), I/Z? Relief Corp o6, and it exs Unton Sof diers and Sailors;” The undersigned, having been duly appointed,a committee to make suitable arrangement for the observance of Memorial day, hereby submit the following: That, notwithstanding that our organization is suspended by general order No, 11, which prevents us from taking our proper place as an organization in any street parade or G. A. B. exercises on Memorial day, until the expiration of the period of suspen- sion, yet we deem it our sacred duty as mem- bers of the order to perform the services in recognition of that day so dear to our com- rades, in a simple and unostentatious manner. The members will therefore assemble at the main entrance of Mountain View Cemetery at 9:30 A, 3., May 30, and at 10 4. 3. sharp will proceed to the Lyon Post plat in the cemetery and there perform the simple and impressive duty we owe to our departed comrades. Our Relief Corps and all ex-Union soldiers and sailors and patriotic citizens are invited to participate 1n the ceremonies, which will be 1 harmony and not in conflict with exercises to follow by other orxnnlzfilionl. or any other aay, ENDEAVOR DOINGS.

Fifteen Other Professors Will Also Give Courses During the Summer. BERKELEY, CaL., May 26.—Professor Bernard Moses, head of the department of history at the State University, will leave next Thursday evening for the University of Chicago, where he has been engaged to give a course of lectures in his specialty, extending through a period of six weeks. Professor Moses is one of the sixteen pro- fessors who have been called from the va- rious institutions in America and Europe to deliver courses of lectures during the period extending from the early part of June to the latter part of July. The sessions of the University of Chi- cago being continuous throughout the year, there is necessarily a gap to be bridged over by some one from the outside whenever a professor oran instructor takes his vacation. It is to supply one of these vacancies that Professor Moses goes East. In an interview to-day the professor said: “I have been called to Chicago to 7g aooome A 0000000 000000000BN0RUBY | A0S : THE LADIES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE FLORAL FETE. MRS street, Thursday and Friday, May 28 and 29, under the auspices of the Alameda ‘Woman’s Exchange and Relief Society. This society was incorporated Septem- ber, 1893. There is no capital stock and no shares of stock, the whoie scheme being to assist in all or any ways the de- serving poor, and by providing ways and means for the sale and exchange of home- manufactured articles or other personal property. Noune of the officers receive any remuneration for their services. The officers of the society are: Mrs. 8. A, O'Neill, president; Mrs. T. P. Winter, vice- president; Mrs. A. O. Gott, treasurer; and Mrs. J. Rathgeb, secretary. The coffers of the society being in a de- pleted condition and the suffering and misery to be alleviated being on the in- crease, these ladies made a call on the various churches in the city and they have all responded with a heanf good will, Every one in the city is anxions to help forward the movement. The City Trus- tees gave the use of the council chamber as a committee-room, the use of electric wire and help to light the grounds. The City Clerk, Ben F. Lamborn, has offered to find and work the calcium lights in connection with Friday night's per- formance. The Palace Hotel, San Fran- <isco, also lends the ten arc lamps to light the grounds. William M. Rank supplies the electricity. The committees from the churches met and decided to erect their own booths and tents and decorate them, each church using one particular flower for decorating and vending only one class of eatables, so that the tout ensemble may be unique, and yet picturesque. The grounds will be o{wn each day at 11 A. . and remain open till 4 p. . Lunch will be served on the ground. Special at- tractions have been provided for each day. ;{zmund to receive eatables and provisions or the various booths: Miss Spencer, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Goddard, Mrs. Cushing and Mrs. T. J. Tobin. Mrs. Barotean’s Lot. ALAMEDA, CAL., May 26.—On the cor- ner of Grand street and Railroad avenue there stands a house and fence projecting on the avenue. It belongs to Mrs. Mary Barotean and has long been an eyesore, Twelve months ago a proposition was made to the City Trustees to pay for their removal, but they refus to do s0, as they had no authority to spend money in that direction. Now the matter has been arranged by W. H. Noy of Bay- street siation. The work commenced yes- terday and the Southern Pacific Company will foot the bill for the removal and im- provements, such as a stone sidewalk and cement fence around Mrs. Barotean’s lot, Mrs. Barotean, on her part, as recited in the deed, agrees to give to the Southern Pacific Company, the right in perpetuity to lay railway tracks past her house and run trains thereon. The company holds no franchise for the road from the city, its contention being that the track is run on its own private property. More Electric Light Troubles. ALAMEDA, Cavn., May 26.—The electric light troubles are never ending. This morning the City Treasurer refused to honor the warrant for $2500 ordered to be aid last night by the City Trustees to A. Fish, It was to be the iirst paymenton sccount of work done. A. L. Fish feels wrathy as the City Attorney holds he is fully entitled to_his money.” He will now commence mandamus proceedings and in- stitute a suit for damages against the Treasurer. A. P. Leroux Dead. ALAMEDA,May 26.—Amedee P. Leroux, living at 922 Central avenue, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning when his son went to awaken him. An autopsy | asked regardi fill a vacancy made by one of the professors in the history department who is taking his vacation. I shall be one of sixteen who bave been called for the purpose of supplying these vacancies. Tne regular corps of instructors, in addition to those called from the outside, will number seventy-seven. Among those from other institutions with whom I shall be associ- ated during my stay of six weeks at Chi- cago will be President E. Benjamin An- drews of Brown University, Professor Ladd of the department of philosophy at Yale, Professor Mafteo Pantaloeni of the University of Naples, and Professor Flugel of the physiological department at Stan- ford. As for my own work there, I shall give two regular courses in history, each of which will be four hours a week. The first_course wiil be on ‘Spanish Colonial Institutions in America’ and the second on ‘The History of the United States from 1789 to 1849, with Bpechl Reference to Ter- ritorial Interests.’” On the first topic Professor Moses has been delivering lectures at Berkeley for tne past three years. Last summer he took a trip through Mexico and Central America for the purpose of studying the manners and customs of the people and their principles of economics and general legislation. It will be remembered that on this fa- mous exploiting tour of the Berkeley pro- fessor a sprinkling of adventure was added to his journey by being mistaken for a de- faulting Southern California bank cashier, and byghls being placed under arrest until the suspicion was removed. 2 It has recently been reported in Berke- ley that Professor Moses hasreceived over- tures from the University of Chicago to go there as the professor of history. When ng this rumor Professor Moses did_not %eny its being true, but merely said: ‘I have no further engage- ment than the one to lecture at the Uni- Some 500 tents will by to-morrow be erected at the picturesque grove of oaks at Buena Vista avenue and Walnut street in Oakland, which has been chosen by the Seventh Day Adventists of California as the site of their annual camp-meeting.

Richards of the Third Precinct was re-elected president of the Board of Town Trustees last night for the easuing year. He was elected some months ago to serve the unexpired term of Reuben Rickard, now deceased, who resigned. A mass of routine business was then transacted and President Kichards sug- gested that action be taken looking to the enactment of a law providing that public meeting-places in Berkeley be provided with proper exits, and that rules be made for protection against fire or panic in pub- lic halls. The Fire and Water C mmittee and Town Attorney were instructed to prepare an ordinance covering the points. A report was receive ! from Health Offi- cer Rowell that a number of complaints had been made to him regarding the con- dition of parts of the Seventh Ward. Dr. Rowell stated tbat he had investigated the localities complained of, and that San Francisco street, between Virginia and Jones, is in a bad. condition. Upon his recommendation, resolutions of intention were filed to at once sewer Fifth street, from Page to Virginia. A communication from Regent Rein- stein was read, asking that a stone side- walk be laid by the town, on the north side of Center street, from Stanford place to the university grounds. The matter was referred to the Street Superintendent. Rescue Home Benefit. BERKELEY, CaL, May 26.—A mass- meeting is to be held at Stiles Hall next week for the benefit of the San Francisco Rescue Home.
