NEW You can’t stop them. In line with a great many other successful and fame- gathering Californians comes Chester Bailey Fernald, another San Franciscan. 0Of late be has been doing some very clever short stories for no less a publication than the Century and for the monthsof July | nounced for June. YORK, N. Y., June 9, 1896.— | and August he follows himself in the same | magazine. For the story, “The Port of Doom,’” appears, and immediately afterward “The Year Seven Thousand.”” His book of containing “The Cat and the Cherub” and others, will be out in August. Mr. Fernald has just returned from Bath, Me., and witl | lesve for San Francisco soon to wed a young lady of that City, after which the couple will spend their honeymoon in former month his | short stories, | Alaska and then depart for Japan, where | the young writer will devote himself to the literature of the Orient. While this parti- cular person has written something less than a dozen stories all told they have | given him a National reputation and made him one of America’s foremost short-story writers. Fred Emerson Brooks, a well-known Californian, recited an original poem in | Carnegie Hall on Memorial day. It was | entitled “Picket’s Charge,”” and after two | encores.were given the poet the poem was purchased by one of the leading maega- zines. Colonel Harrison Gray Otis of the Los Angeles Times, after swooping through McKinley’s region and visiting Mark Hanna and friends in Washington, ar- rived in New York on the 2d. He will re- main here and talk politics at the Fifth Avenue Hotel until the convention opens in St. Louis, after which he will be among the party warriors. Colonel H. H. Boyce, formerly manag- | ing editor of the Los Angeles Tribune, and later of the Arena Magazine, Boston, is now at the business head of a magazine called the Lotus, located at 156 Fifth avenue. His daughter, Neith Boyce, is in the editor’s chair. * Holbrook Blinn, son of Neihe Holbrook Blinn, one of California’s active women suffragists, has closed bis theatrical season here wizh Effie Ellsler and will return * % home next week. So far as I hear, he has not accepted any further engagement for mums, with his pockets full of contracts and his heart full of glee. The World has the novel plan of select- ing twelverepresentative women to render a verdict after all the testimony is in at the Flemming poisoning case. Among | those women kaown to Pacific Coasters one finds Mrs. Clara Foltz and Mrs. Theo- dore Sutro. Susan B. Anthony will prob- ably be selected as foreman of the jury. Mrs. Leland Stanford sailed for Europe on the 1st, whither she goes to enjoy a rest after the successful termination of her case, with which every Californian is familiar. Lawrence Archer, who left San Jose some time ago for New York, is at present connected with the telephone company here and is residing at the Gramercy Park Hotel. The aporoaching marriage of Philip Ver- rill Migheis and Mrs. Ella Sterling Cum- mins, both of the Pacific Coast, is an- Mrs. Cummins will be remembered as the author of “The Liitle Mountain Princess” and “The California Story of Files,” a volume which contains the most complete and well-connected history of literature ever written in the West. Mr. Mighels is the author of a re- cently issued volume of verse, entitled ‘“Out of a Silver Flute,”.which has been well received. Both the prospective bride and groom were born in the land of the setting sun, where their fathers were pioneers. They met each other in San Francisco, where strangely enough their parents found one another years before. They will make their home during the summer on Long Island. Mrs. Fred O. Barto, a member of the San Francisco Portia Law Club, is spend- ing the summer months with her uncle, General W. P. Hazen, in Thonotosassa, Fla. On the occasion of the general's seventy-ninth birthday, which was appro- priately and plentifully celebrated, Mrs. Barto recited several selections, introduc- ing tragedy, comedy and character, to the delight and satisfaction of the general’s friends and acquaintances, most of whom were present. e While the atmosphere of these United States is reeking with politics I suppose one might be permitted to sneak in a little fact that the uncertainty of our finance has literally knocked the staple market higher, or lower, rather, than it has been for years. Provisio: oats, corn and other necessaries have almost touched the price of production several times during the last week. Wheat, after a struggle, finally succumbed and joined tke proces- sion of lower values. The cloud that is gathering in the silver States is rolling up blacker and blacker for the men who are clamoring fora gold market, ana every- thing is ruled by uncertainty. Threatened war in parts of Europe and another inva- sion of our gold reserve has staggered commerce here in New York very consid- erably. Nothing will be certain until after the election, and- even then indiscre- tion may send things tumbling into the gap of failures. New York appreciates the necessity of caution, even if it is merely to re-establish current ' market prices. e R ] Loritta Addis Mooney, alias Lady Sholto Douglas, is gathering in every particle of advertising possible. I saw her | come out of Tony Pastor’s last night with Mr. Pastor himself as her particular pio- tector. Two other anglomaniacs were | along, and after Mr. Pastor deserted the | party her ladyship cut ioose and with a | wild Western fling of her arms made for a roof garden, where she gave a free skirt- dance. She took possession of the chap- | pies and later in the evening stopped in | front of Abbey’s Theater (late lamented) | and, in the midst of a vociferous and ap- | plauding crowd, danced as she has never i danced before. I wonder where Sholto is. * * * A local physician has opened a perfum- |ing bureau, and New York ladies are | coming to him to have their favorite ex- | tracts injected into their veins with hypo- dermic syringes. The point of the needle | is merely inserted under the skin of the | arm and several drops are pumped into | the veins. The result is said tc be more | satisfactory than applying the perfume | externally, and for several days afterward the body exhales a delicate fragrance. It | is getting to be a very common practice | here, and I have no doubt it will spread | through the veins of ail society. ey Dave Foltz, Tue CALy’s advertising man- ager of its Fastern oflices, has just re- | turned from a business trip to New Eng- | land. TR ke Bicycle riders here are prohibited by a | city ordinance from ‘‘scorching”’ and 1 strong young men have had considerable | trouble keeping down to a regulation pace. Mounted policemen are learning to ride machines with so much speed that there are few instances where scorchers have escaped. I was wheelingin Central Park the other day when suddenly a scorcher let himself loose and struck out down the roadway. ‘“One of the finest” spotted him and gave chase. It was a great opportunity for the entire | bicycle fraternity that happened to be present. One of them yelled “let’s help | the cop,” and in an instant about fifty of them joined in the mad chase on the heels of the policeman. Such chances are not taken advantage of often. # e There is a good story on David Belasco, once of San Francisco. Since Belasco wrote “The Heart of Maryland” and trained Mrs. Leslie Carter for -the stage, instruction for which he is at the present time suing N. K. Fairbanks for $65,000, he has been particularly worth mention. It appears that some time ago DeMille and Belasco wrote “A Lost Paradise,” ana in the third act a certain character had to quote considerably from the Bible. He began to tire of it, and argued that the lines were ‘“‘qneer stuff,”” and said he couldn’t see where they ‘‘cut ice, any- how.” “My dear fellow,” said the stage man- ager, “‘those lines are from David.” “That’s what I thought,” responded the actor, *‘Dave Belasco never could write two lines of English anyhow.” Bos Davis. The Smith Alimony Case. In the report of the Supreme Court’s decision denying an increase of alimony on the appeal of Josephine Smith, wife of Charles H. Smith, the Southern Pacific railroad cashier, 1t was intimated that the latter had not paid his ali- mony punctually. This Mrs. Smith denies, as she does the allegation of misconduct and her lack of control over her son. Mrs. Smith states that there was never anything but a grievous quarrel between herself and husband. / Good morning, have you read Thomas Slater’s advertisement for men on page 8 ? HIS BONES 10 LIE N THIS LAND. The Strange Request of an Aged Chinese Mer- chant. He Did Not Want His Body Sent Back to the Flowery Kingdom. The Funeral Was Postponed Until His Eldest Son Could Return Frem China. Ye Lo Di, a rich Chinese merchant of Lockeford, Cal., died a month ago, but the funeral was not held until yesterday, as Di had requested when he saw that his end was near that his body should not be buried until the ariival of his eidest son from China. But the old merchant fairly astonished his family and friends by the last wish that he expressed. Just before passing away he spoke to those around him, saying, “I am old. Nearly seventy-eight years have passed over my head. I have lived in this land since I wasa young man. My wife lives here, and this land is the home of my sons. Now let my old body be buried here and my bones lie undisturbed for all time in the land where I have lived.” Several urged old Di to follow the cus- toms of his people and have his bones sent back to China, but he was obstinate. “I have voiced my wish. My bones must lie in the land where I have lived. Let none interfere,” he answered. It is safe to say that no one wiil aisturb his last rest, for, being wealthy while in life, he was obeyed and, though now dead, none will dare to disobey. Four weeks ago the old man died and all of the embalmer’s arts were brought out to preserve the body until the son ar- rived from China, where he had gone to find his bride. The gozmz man returned a few days ago and the remains were brought to San Francisco for burial. From an Oriental standpoint 1t was one of the | grandest affairs. that money and friends could procure. The body was laid out in state in the rooms of the Kong Chow As- sociation on Pine street, while on Bren- ham place, near Clay street, the usual Asiatic religious ceremonies, with the mourners, the spread of ediblesand strange music, were observed. Alittleafter 1 o’clock the funeral cortege started to the cemetery, and in the line were over forty carriages containing rela- tives and friends. After the body was properly interred the widow and her chil- dren returned to their home in Lockeford, Ye Lo Di was among the first Chinese to come to California. He was then a young man. Within afew years he was able to start in business in a small Way. His natural shrewdness. brought him in many a dollar, and by the time he reached middle life he owned several stores. Since then he has dealt extensively in mining securities, and at the time of his death was worth a goodly for- tune. By all of his countrymen he was his honesty and generosity. In a few months more he would have been 78 years of age. Di leaves a widow, two sons and four daughters, THE BOYS BRIGADE. A Testimonial to Be Tendered to Briga- dier-General Russell. A testimonial will be tendered J. H. Russell Thursday evening, June 25, in the auditorium of the Howard-street M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Fifth Regiment Boys’ Brigade. Mr. Russell has devoted years of earnest work to the Boys’ Brigades of the State. He has held promi- nent offices in the local organization and was State secretary for three years. Heis at present in command of the First Brigade B. B. C. About two years ago it looked as though the Boys’ Brigade would have to pass out of existence. Everything seemed against it. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union at its national convention in Cin- cinnati, Ohio, in 1894, devoted almost an entire day to the work oi the Boys Brigade. Miss Frances Millard delivered an ad- dress condemning the movement. She held that it was instiling in the boysa warlike spirit and not for peace. She thought that the W. C. T. U. should place themselves on record as being opposed to the organization, which they did. Fol- lowing the action of the W. C. T. U., most of the.strongest religious papers of the East took up the matter, and in not one single case did any have a kind or encour- aging word for the boys. Prominent ministers in all parts of the Union expressed their views strongly on the question, and the Boys’ Brigade was by no means assisted by their opinion. The Northern California Conference of the Methouist church passed resolutions con- demning the movement. The indications were that the work would have to be abandoned, and many officers left the field of battle discouraged and turned their attention to the work of the Y. P. 8. E., the Epworth League and organizations of that nature. It was at this time that Mr. Russell came to the front and, with his enthusiastic spirit, carried with him the officers who were willing to face the oppo- sition. Ministers and leading church members were interviewed, and after many months the hard work began to tell. The mothers and fathers became interested in their boys’ work, and little by little the strong objections against the organization began to disappear, until to-day the church recognizes its worth and church members are fostering 1t. The ladies are forming auxiliaries for its support. Officers and members of the organiza- tion say that in a great degree the stccess is due to their commander, Brigadier- General Russell, and they are tendering him this testiinonial asa mark of apprecia- tion. They appeal to their friends to assist in making this affair a success. The management of the entertainment is in the hands of Lieutenant-Colonel S. D. North, Major R. B. Moore and Lieutenant A. M. Flood, assisted by the Knickerbocker Male Quartet. Found Dead in the Presidio. The body of a man was found lying in the brush off the McDowell road, in the Presidio Reservation, on Friday. Death evidently oc- curred six or seven weeks ago, as the corpse was badly decomposed. Near the dead man was a pistol, and in one of his pockets was a small bit of paper bearing the words, “Hot Springs, Arkansas, 27, 85, Steuart street, up- stairs, number 10" The Geceased also had & business card of the New Kitchen, 651 Sacra- mento street. Inquiry at the last-named place and at Stewart street elicited only the fact that the dead man was not known at either place. ——————————— ‘Irades and Labor Alliance. Ata meeting of the Trade and Labor Al- liance Fridey iast & aeclaration of its principles was adopted, with instructions to the secre- tary to forward to all socialist trades and labor allisnce in the United States and Canada for consideration. The question of continuing highly respected, almost venerated, for | the boycott on the Parrott building was unani- mously indorsed. SUTRO' SEEKS A NEW CONNECTION, May Arrange to Transfer With the California- Street Line. The Road Scarcely Able to Handle the Traffic on Busy Days. President Stetson Disposed to Enter Into an Alliance With the Mayor. Among the probabilitiss of the near fu- ture is an arrangement between the Cali- tornia-street cable road and the Sutro elec- tric line, whereby one will transfer to the other, thus giving another rapid through line from the ocean to the ferries. The original intention of Sutro before his line was opened was to transfer to and from ‘the California-street line, but for gome unknown reason the plan was changed. The popularity of the electric road run- ning to the ocean beach, the Cliff House | and the Sutro baths has exceeded-all ex- pectations, and the rolling-stock of both it and its present connection, the Sutter- street line, has proved entirely inadequate 1o accommodate the traffic on busy days. It is to afford the public ample and com- fortable facilities that the arrangement mentioned is being talked of. In order to meet the largely increased travel that is sure to result to the electric line from this proposed connection, addi- tional cars will be built and these will be supplemented in some cases with “trail- ers”’—that is, an extra coach will be at- tached to the regular car. Bhould the agreement be entered into with the California-street line it will in no way interfere with the existing transfer arrangements between the Sutter-street and Sutro line, nor with those between the California-street and the steam line | from Central avenue, operated by the Market-street Railway Company. Bat, in view of the unpopularity that Mr. Vining, by his recent annoying trans- fer system, achieved for his various lines, itisbelieved that with the Sutro-California- street combination in force there would be a jheavy diversion of business from the Sacramento-street and steam line route to the more popular roads. Mayor Sutro is out of town, and while it was admitted at his office that there nas been “‘some talk" regarding the marter, it was denied that any formal negotiations had been opened. President Stetson of the California-street railway, when asked about the matter, said that a transfer arrangement would be very agreeable to him and his company, and if Mayor Sutro was inclined to bring ubout such a connection be would be glad to enter into an agreement with him. It is believed that active negotiations will begin during the latter part of next week. The Khans of Kiva, Khokand and Bok- hara date the origin of their families back as far as the Turkish invasion of Europe.
