PORTLAND HAS A GAY SVENGALI A San Francisco Woman| the Victim of a Cruel Hypnotist. SENDS LETTERS TO MEN. Marriage Propesals Made to Six% of the Male Sex in One Evening. ARRESTED AS A BLACKMAILER. s Released From the Spell After Scan- dalous Conduct Had Brought Her to Prison. PORTLAND, Or., May 29.—About a month ago Miss Helen Beatrice Helwig came to Portland from San Francisco on a visit to friends, intending to remain the greater part of the summer, but last Monday she returned to her Golden Gate home a much sadder young woman than when she left it. In connection with this is a story that hardly seems credible. Miss Helwig, during the first fortnight of her visit here, was in the most cheerful frame of mind, making friends of all who met her. She was an accomplished musi- cian and conversationalist, and knew something about almost everything. She bad travelea in Europe for several years, with ample means to see and study. After Miss Helwig had been here two ‘weeks a decided and unaccountable change | came over her. She seemed to have an aversion to the society of her own sex and, what was worse, her friends were greatly | shocked in observing the boldness with which she courted nearly all the rale visitors to the house in which she was a guest. It is stated upon the best au- thority that Miss Helwig went so far as to make proposals of marriage to six gentlemen in one evening. This was not done in a spirit of jest but in the most in- tense earnestness. About this time several well-known business men received impassioned letters signed ‘‘Helen Beatrice,” in which the writer declared her unquenchable love in the most poetic prose for the addressed. Most of the recipients of these love-laden missives are married men; but one of “Helen Beatrice's” objects of affection—a capitalist—innocently got himself into an exceedingly unpleasant domestic snarl by not destroying ‘‘Helen’s” letter at once after reading it. It chanced that his wife in some manner got possession of the mis- sive. mess from which he was unable to ex- tricate himself for a day or two. At last, though, he remembered that in her note | “Helen Beatrice” solicited him to reply | through the general delivery at the post- office. Then the idea suggested itself to | bim that he take Chief of Police Minto | into his confidence and thus atfempt to | establish the identity of the person having brought him all this trouble. The Chief put Detective Welch on the job, and two days after Welch received the assignment he saw a well-dressed young womsan stepup to the general delivery window and ask: “Anything for Miss Helen Beatrice, please?” The capitalist's decoy letter was handed to her, and as she stepped from the Fed- eral building onto Morrison street she was joined by a young man named Frank | Zoe Robbins, living on the East side. To | Detective Welch. Miss Helwig's corre- spondence appeared in the light of a black- mailing scheme, and on Fifth and Morri- son he politely invited the couple to accompany him to the office of the Chief of Police. “During the interview of the couple in Chief Minto's office,’ said Detective Welch, “‘a disclosuré was made, throwing the re- sponsibility of Helen Beatrice’s conduct, who really was Miss Helwig, upon Rob- bins. The latter is a member of the Port- | land Hypnotic Club and also a friend of the family Miss Helwig was visiting. At her request he one evening escorted her to a meeting of the club, where, after experi- menting upon the girl for about fifteen minutes, Robbins discovered her to be a very pliable subject. As a matter of amusement and nothing more—but it was a cruel pastime—Rob- bins exercised his influence over Miss Helwig, and in twenty-four hours he metamorphosed her from a dignified, in- telligent'young woman into a promiscuous | *‘man-courter.” ; Chief Minto, satisfying himself that this | was the true status of this peculiar case, | ordered Robbins, under penalty of severe | punishment, to release Miss Helwig from the influence of his hypnotic power. Rob- bins agreed to this, but it was two days thereafter before Miss Helwig was restored to her normal frame of mind. When ad- vised of what she did under the hypnotic influence the grew hysterical with shame, and the following night returned to San Francisco almost heartbroken. In conclusion, Detective Welch said that the aggrieved capitalist and his suspecting wife were invited to the interview of the hypnotist and his poor victim, which re- sulted in a complete reconcihation in the family of the capitalist. OFFENDS SEATTLE VETERANS. The Monterey’s Commander Refuses to Attend Memorial Services. BEATTLE, Wasn., May 29.—Captain Ludlow of the United States coast defense vessel Monterey, now in this port, de- clined the invitation of the local com- mittee of the Grand Army of the Republic to participate ih to-morrow’s ( Memorial day) exercises. Captain Ludlow spoke for his subordinates as weil as himself. As 8 consequence he is being severely criticized by Grand Army men and others, In 2 public letter Major 8. W.

Heirs of Samuel Simon Begin an Action Involving Ten Thousand Acres of Land. FRESNO, CaL., May 29.—The suit of Mrs. Henry Simon and two children and Mrs. SBamuel Simon and son, Jefferson Martin, against E. and 8. L Simon, ex- ecutors of the estate of Samuel Simon, for an accounting, 1s on trial before Judge Webb in this city. This case directly in- volves 10,000 acres of land situated east of Reedley, 1n this county, and indirectly af- fects n{&rge amount of property situated in various parts of the State. S8amuel Simon and several brothers and E. Jacobs formed a companv, called the Simon-Jacobs Company, in 18! It owned about 40,000 acres of land in various por- tions of the State. Samuel Simon after- ward died, bequeathing much of his prop- erty to the plaintiffs in the present suit. The plaintiffs allege that the defeadants, by fraud and misrepresentation, cheated them out of their just interests in the set- tlement of the estate. They charge that the land was appraised by two persons who were in a comspiracy with the execu- tors. The land involved in the case is some of the best in the county, Sliioteoanic VALLEJO GRADUATES.

Sixteen Cemplaints Against the County of Stanislaus Are Filec, MODESTO, CaL., May 29.—Sixteen com- plamnts have been filed here by Attorneys Lloyd and Wood of San Francisco in the National Bank taxation case. Assessor Cum%neil last season assessed the stock of the First National Bank of this place. Proceedings were immediately begun to avoid this tax payment and the matter was referred to the Board of Supervigors, who upheld the Assessor. A number of counties of the State concluded to assist Stanislaus Coanty in forcing the payment. These suits are now brought by each stockholder of a bank separately against the county of Stanislaus to pre- vent any collection of tax on shares, The existing State law says National bank stock must be taxed, but the asses- sors of counties of the State failed to make an assessment untii this county’s official took the initiative, foliowed in like man- ner by Sacramento County’s assessor. The last taxes were paid to Tax Collector Downer under protest. A ke BACRAMENTO CONVENTION. Mrs. Purnell Presides Over the State Woman’s Suffrage Association.

FAITH-DOCTORS. AT LOS ANGELES, The First Convention of the Southern California Alliance. WORKERS OF MIRACLES Christians Who Profess to Cure Disease by the Laying On of Hands. GIVE HOPE TO THE AILING. They See in the Near Future the Coming of the Long-Awaited Millennium. LOS ANGELES, Cair., May 29.—A new religious organization, called the “Chris- tian Alliance of Southern California,” is holding its first annual convention in the First Congregational Church of this city. Conducting or taking prominent parts in this convention are the pastors of many evangelical churches. Methodists, Bap- tists, Presbyterians and Congregational- ists form this somewhat unique body of people. The chief characteristic of these people is based on what they term purification, sanctification and regeneration, while “holiness and healing” form a conspic- uous part of every day’'s programme. They have, as many of them testified this afternoon, experienced the *‘second bless. ing” in their religious lives, and ara now convinced that they may cure others, just as many of themselves have been cured of serious and menacing bodily ills, by the exercise of faith and the laying on of hands. The meetings are largely attended, and members seem very happy in the exercise of their boundless faith. In the relating of their experiences one is reminded that the days of miracles are by no means ended. The sick,'enfeebled and decrepit are coming here in large numbers to test the powers of the healers. No notable in- stance of healing has occurrea so far at this meeting, but much is predicted for the future. The convention will continue until next Tuesday. A near approach of the mil- lenninm forms a conspicuous part of the aiscussion. This bedy comprises ten auxiliary so- cieties from Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Diego, Long Beach, Pasadena, Whittier, Riverside and Higblands. Among the prominent speakers and workers are: Reverends W. C. Stevens, A. C. Bane, F. H. Bickford, H. C. Waddell, Mrs. H. J. Pierson and Mrs, Carrie Judd Montgomery HARRY BEO "8 DEBTS. 4 Young Bank Clerk’s Property At- tached at Carson. CARSON, Nev., May 29.—All kinds of rumors have been in circulation in this city since the disappearance of Harry K. Brown, formerly a clerk of the Baltion and Exchange Bank of thiscity. Brown has been living in a very extravagant manner for several years, and his ex- penses have been far above his income, but his havingz beemn leit $10,000 by his father seemed to explain this. Two weeks ago Brown was discharged from the Bullion Bank, and the same evening he left for San -Francisco, taking his wife. Mrs. Brown returned in a few davs, but was unable to say where her husband was, and since that time the bank people have been overbauling his accounts and have found nothing wrong with them. Justice Belknap of tue Supreme Court, Brown’s father-in-law, stated that the reason of Brown’s discharze was purely rsonal and not through any financial ifficulty. He did not know the where- abouts of his son-in-law, nor does Mrs. Brown. He could see no reason for Brown’s disappearance. Brown is deeply in debt and somewhat entangled over property he has negotiated to purchase, and this 1s given as the reason for his ab- sence. This afternoon ail of Brown’s per- sonal effects were attachéd by parties to whom he is in debt. > oo URAy TO0 REOPEN CARSON MINT. Orders Received From Washington Ap- pointing a New Force.

Hail and Rain, Accompanied by Thunder and Lightning—Three Deaths in a Nevada Flood. RENO, Nev., May 20.—The heaviest rain and hailstorm in years visited Reno this morning. Hailstones three inches in di- ameter fell and almost every skylight in the city was broken. Truckee River rose to the highest point known in fifteen years and the Truckee meadows about Glendale were under water. Much damage was done to vegetation. Three men were drowned in the river at Prosser Creek. Their names cannot be learned. The bodies have not been recov- erec. SANTA ROSA, CaL., May 29.—A terrific thunderstorm passed over this city about 3 o’clock this morniug. The sky was cop- per colored and a& crimson glow lighted up the west. A blinding flash of light- ning preceded each volley of thunder. The residence of Parker Maddux, five miles north of this place, was struck by a bolt of lightning, damaging the premises to the extent of $30C. The bolt decended the chimney in the center of the house and passed through the front door, killing a watchdog on the front porch, but fortu- neately missing the sleeping members of the housebold. CLOVERDALE, CAL,, May 29.—An un- usually heavy electric storm struck this vicinity about 1 o’clock this morning, last- ing until daybreak. There was not much wind, but & continuous roar of thunder. The vivid and frequent flashes of light- ning, accompanied by a heavy fall of hail and rain, aronsed much fear and trembling among Californians—strangers to such phenomena—while the Eastern residents imagined they had saddenly been trans- ported to their homes in the cyclone belt. gome of the hailstones were the size of walnuts. Neot much damage was done to the growing crops. CARSON, Nev., May 20.—At 4 o’clock this morning a terrific hailstorm, accom- panied by rain and thunder, visited this city. Hailstones nearly an inch in diame- ter fell in abundance.” The rain also de- scended for hours in a detuge. The roads were badly damaged, but the crops will be benefited, where not injured by the hail. SANTA BARBARA, Car., May 29.—A generous shower fell here this morning, the downpour continuing for several hours, with intermissions, It will help reatly to make Decoration day a success, y adding to the beauty of the flowersand brightening the green of the hills and the cemetery grounds.

The sky was brilliantly lighted by intermittent _flashes of lightning. No damage was done to grain. PETALUMA, CAL., May 29.—A severe electric storm passed over Petaluma last night, beginning shortly after 10 and last- ing until 3 o'clock. The storm came from an easterly direction. -The incessant flashes of lightning and loud thunder peals were phenomena unusual in this section { of California. FLECTAIC WIRES BURNED Forecast Oificial Hammon Chats About Causes and Effects. This Storm Came After the Very Hot Spell With Moisture From = the Ocean. The thunderstorm that swept in from the ocean early yesterday morning was not a remarkable occurrencze in San Fran- cisco. At least, Mr. Hammon of the United States Weather Bureau says it was not nearly so severe as people imagined. There was a worse thunderstorm in San Francisco within the last six mouths, ac- cording to the bureau records. Two years ago, as the clerk of the weather remarked, houses were struck by lightning here. And yet the electric pyrotechnics of the clouds were enough to make men feel deeply religious, especially when accom- panted by thunderbolts that shook build- ings. The Weather Bureau wires to Point Reyes crossed with the Western Union wires and caussd considerable trou- ble. The lighting arresters at the cable- box at Lime Point were burned out. ‘It is a mistake to think that there are no vivid thunder-storms on this coast,” said Mr. Hammon yesterday. “It is a mistake aiso 1o think that the ciimate is changing. The records do not show a change. The Government got an idea about 1wo years ago that there was no rea- son to fear lightniag on this coast and had the hightning-rods removed from the tight- houses. Wlen the rod was removed from Farralone's light its top was found to have been burned off by lightnine. A few months later the lighthouse was struck and all the electric wires were burned out. So far as I know the light- houses are still without lightning-rods. “The same conditions that produced the hail of Thursday night's storm were the cause alsoof the thunder and light- ning. It is a singular fact that hail is almost always the accompaniment of the electrical storms on this coest. The type of thunder-storms here belong distinct- ively to this partof the country. They are extremely rare anywhere else. The | thunder-storms in the Eastern States are | due to a-dry condition of air with a moist spot in it. In other words, a \compara- tively small body of moisture passing through a dry atmosphere forms a strong attraction and conductor for all the elec- tricity that is spread over large areas. Tnis electricity zathers on the clond until finally the tension becomes so great that it leaps off in the form of thunderboits. “Here the lightning is due largely to frictional causes, and I believe the friction is caused by the hail passing through the air. Our electrical storms cannot be com- pared to those east of the Rocky Moun- tains. The hightning is incessant’in those storms, and the thunder is correspond- ingly frequent and heavy. The air here, owing to the vapor carried inland by the winds from the Pacific Ocean, and also owing to the small drying area, is alto- gether too moist to make severe or fre- uent thunder-storms possible; still,we are liable, as we were Kriday morning, to get an occasional heavy thunder-storm or squall. The electricity generated in the airon this coast escapes harmlessly. as a usual thing, us soon as formed. The heat of the last few days had produced con- ditions favorable to a th under-storm.” ————— INDICTMENT OF BLANTHER. Presentments for Murder Filed by the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury yesterday indicted J. E. Blanther alias Joseph E. Blanther for the murder of Philippina Langfeldt in this City on May 15 last. The witnesses heard were Captain Lees, Mrs. Agnes Kleineberg, Jennie Hanley, Dr. Kleineberg, Genevieve Marks, Dr. J. 8. Bafrett and George L. Dodge. There were other witnesses in the waiting-room, among them Deputy Cor- oner Tyrrell, but ail toe facts desired were obtained from other sources. Captain Lees submitted to the Grand Jury a package of papers and letters, a collection of medals” and some other wrinckets, The indictment was presented to Judge Slack late in the afrernoon. The jury also found an indictment of forgery against R. M. Samuels. Accord- ing to the testimony in the case Samuels forged the name of John C. Spencer to a check for $40 on the Anglo-Californis Bank. FIELD SPORTS AT CAZADERD, Stanford Athletes Carry Off Honors in Many ~ Events. REV. DR. SMITH TALKS.

Education in Christian Work First Requiremeat—S-cretary McCoy’s Address. the CAZADERO, CaL, May 29.— During last night the students in attendance at the Y. M. C. A. intercollegiate conference were treated to something very unusual in Californin—an electrical concert. Shortly afterward refreshing rain fell. Rev. Cumming Smith of San Fran- cisco gave the. platform address at 11 o'clock on the subject “Individual Work,” using as a basis for his words the chapter of John's Gospel. ‘‘Here we sze Jonn a definite man, with two other definite men, to whom he says, ‘Behola the Lamb of God!' showing us to-day the supreme need, not of oratorical effort in the pulpit but of point- ing men to God,” said the speaker. “we have all a place in some great work; but mark me, not till we are educated up to it. We say everything has a place to fill in this world; but take for instance the little green apples on the tree—if we go on that supposition and give every little green apple a place in a man there will be trouble, sure. Not till the little green | apple becomes rtipe has it a place to fill. | Neither have we a place to fill till we have prepared ourselves to fill it. Hand-picked fruit is the best, not the fruit which top- ples down wnen the tree is shaken; so personal work for souls gives more perma- nent results. *In the first chapter Philip did notargue with Nathaniel. He said, ‘Come and see.’ [ once knew a man whom no amount of argument would convert. He was a casu- ist. That man was converted by the con- duct of a Christian who failed in business at 60 cents on the dollar and afterward, when he was given a new start, he, con- trary to the customary method. paid up the remaining amonnt on each dollar.” In the afternoon students and faculty gathered for the intercollegiate games, which commenced at 2:30 o’clock. There were twelve events, Stanford kaving a team entered in each. The results follow: 100-yard dash, open—Charles S. Dole, Sten- ford, first; Galen M. Fisher, U. C., second. Time, 12 sec.

He remarked {hatit wasnota position in which one could become rich; it was not a position in which one wouls get along who wore his feelings on his sleeve; but it was a position next to the ministry of God, wh-re a man ceuld be- comeda powerful factor for good in this world. ————————————————————————— UT nothiag down your throat that will disfigure or blemish your face.
