The Salvation Army Womans’ Shelter, 552 Stevenson street, was almost totally destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.

There were twenty-two inmates and two babies sheltered in the building, and as it was impossible to accommodate all in the undestroyed rooms, we procured outside lodgings for ten of them. They will re- main in their new lodgings until we pro- Itis impossible to am iaclined to believe that it was caused by a bomb.” Tears dim the eyes of the inmates of the charitable institution as they look upon the ruins of their once comfortable home. It had been the only home they had known for many months, and it was pitiful to see them look with sorrowful eyes at the charred timbers and blackened embers. They moved in and out of the burned rooms, over the unsteady floor, and poked {into the ashes in search of little relics which they had long treasured and had at last been taken from them. Their posses- sions were few before the fire, now they have none and they are heartbroken. Captain McFee, whose headquarters are on Market street, near Seventh, searched many hours yesterday afternoon and last the woman’s shelter. He failed to find one of suitable size and rent, however, but will “We lost fully $1000 by to-day’s fire,"” said Captain McFee last evening; -‘thatis, it will cost that much to refurnish a new building and again place the institution on a solid basis. We need helo from the charitably disposed, and I hope we will re- ceive assistance.” BELLBOYS LAID IN WAIT. Eight From the Baldwin Looked for Their Unfaithful Leader.

His childish prattle disturbed our worship and we sent him into the backyard to play. He had been gone but a few moments, however, when he came running back into the dining-room and lisped out, ‘House fire and mamma will burn; so will we all burn.’ At first we discredited the baby’s state- ment, thinking the little fellow had seen the smoke of an exploding firecracker, but on hurrying into the yard we found that his alarm was well founded. “On finding that the shelter was indeed in flames, the ola lady inmates became greatly excited and as fast as possible they deserted the building.

A mother of one of the “boys’’ went to the hotel yesterday to attempt to have her son reinstated, though he himself refused to return. Twelve new men have been employed to fill the,places of those that quit and of the doorboys that were released recently in expectation of the introduction of the extra work to be given the bellboy force. All the bellboys are now working under the regulations that maintained before the strike. One of the cld men says that the men who went out expected too good fare for hotel keep. “The grub ain’t any too good ; it ain’t the best in the market or what the guests get, but it's a darn sight better than the help get at any of the other big hotels in town.” OUR COURTS IN DISGRACE Subject of Dr. Case’s Theme Last Even- ing at the Howard Methodist Dr. W. W. Case preached at the Howard- street Metbodist Church last evening on the subject ““Our Courts in Disgrace.” In his sermon he made pointed allusions to the pugilistic encounter recently enacted i Judge Campbell’s courtroom and the gun-drawing scene in the Ashley trial on Thursday last. In the course of his re- marks Dr. Case said: “‘Our church teaches us not to speak evil of magistrates or ministers. It is a very good piece of advice. We ought to rever- ence things which are worthy of reverence. Mimsters of justice ana ministers of the gospel ought to be above reproach. They should . be persons possessed of ~ such characters as shall merit the confidence and respect of the people among whom they minister. “It is folly to expect justice from the unprincipled. The Germans have a pro- verb that ‘Justice has a waxen nose.’ ‘Whether in this City it be wax or putty, in some persons it is decidedly twisted, to say theleast. Our judiciary is supposed to stand for the very highest ideal of honor. Ministers of justice as well as ministers of the gospel are expected to be the conservators of the public peace and morals. Of all men a judge ought to have the elements of true manhood, and possess those qualities which command the re- spect ot honest and intelligent people. “‘The disgraceful scene in Judge Slack’s | court a few days ago does an untold amount of injury to_public morals, though so far as we can he is not atall re- k sgmsible for it and proposes to bring the o enders to account. But who is to ar- | raign the pugilistic Judge and fine him for contempt ? “The folly of carrying firearms was shown in the unfortunate scene in Judge Slack’s court. ‘Enter not into tempta- tion.” A deadly weapon in the pockeris a menace to good order always and every- where. Itisa temptation in the moment of excitement which is too often yielded to with mournful results, ‘‘Let our prominent men who are every day making public sentiment conscien- tiously refrain from all practices unworthy of imitation by the imitative multitude, and they will unconsciously but power- fully -aid social improvement and leave behind them something more lasting for g‘oou,f.!un ‘footprints in tihe sands of time.'

She Wants to Join Her Husband in the Spirit Land Wken Under Them. IS NOW IN A PADDED CFLL. The Doctors at the Receiving Hos- pital Can See No Signs of In- sanity in Her. The case of Mrs. Allie Gender, a widow 53 years of age, will form a subject for in- vestigation by the Insanity Commission- ers this morning. Bhe is in a padded cell in the Receiving Hospital, charged with insanity, but any one who talks with her cannot see the slightest sign of mental aberration in her conduct or speech. Yet her friends say she is crazy, and too dangerous to be at large. Twelve years ago her husband was killed in a railroad accident. He had an acei- dent polioy for $1500, and this sum was paid to the widow, or rather to Albert Shainwald, her brother-in-law, living at 207 Geary street, who was administrator of her husband’s estate. The widow was left with three young children, a boy and two girls. They were put in a home and the mother worked hard to support herself and them. The $1500 was placed on deposit in the San Francisco Savings Union bank and with interest it bas reached the sum of $2100. Of this amount $300 has been withdrawn and | loaned to C. Petrie, a printer in Alameda. Mrs. Gender about two years ago went to live with her brother-in-law, but three weeks ago she removed to 238 Sixth street, where she engaged a room. According to | the landlady, Mrs. George, she showed | | symptoms of insanity shortly after being | in her house and on Baturday she became | violent and threatened to take her life, so | | Dr. Bohm was sent for and he ordered | that she be sent to the Receiving Hospital. | Her chief hallucination is that her hus- band’s spirit Is constantly with her. ‘When walking on the street she imagined that he was beside her and she would con- | verse with him as if he were in the flesh. | At night she would alarm every one in the house by guing from room to room searching for her husband and when she could not tind him she became violent and had to be placed under restraint. ‘When she became calm she would talk rationally and say she wanted to join her husband in the spirit land and if the money was only divided among her chil- dren she would soon be with him. The oldest, a young man 23 years of age, is in Mendocino County, where he has bought some Government land. One of the girls is married and the other is a servant with a family on Union street. Apparently the money is not to be di- vided till' the youngest. who is now 20 years of ace, attains the age of 21. Speaking of her arrest Mrs. Gender said yesterday: ‘‘f think it is all a joke to eep me here. I wasin my room yestere day when two men wearing blue uniforms came and asked me to puton my shoes and come with them. Then they put me in a patrol wagon and brought me here. But I don’t know why. Iam not crazy and I cannot see why I should be kept here.” The doctors at the hospital who have conversed with her say that she does not exhibit the slightest symptoms of in- sanity, but the landiord and landlady of the lodging-house at 238 Sixth itreet, Dr. Bohm and others say that she has spells and when under them she is violently insane. SOME BABIES IN THE Z00, The Eik and the Buffalo Fami- lies Each Have an Increase. Crowds at Sutroville by the Sea—A Venetian Carnival—Two Scenic Railways—Fall From a Tra n. The family in the “Zoo” in Golden Gate Park is increasing. About ten days ago a baby elk made its appearance in the deer park, the first one born there, and yesterday morning another one came. Within an hour after that the family in the buffalo paddock was increased by one. The new arrivals were concealed by their parents in the brush and several days will elapse before the youngsters will come out from under cover to be gazed atby those who delight in looking at the ani- mals and feeding them. The only work of importanee being done in the park at this time is on the bicycle track. Wien that is finished the wheel- men will be required to ride upon it. o-day carpenters will commence put- ting up the partitions in the annex to the museum, and workmen will place in posi- tion the marble arch which will be the en- trance to the rcom in which the minerals are to be displayed. This is the arch which was at the Midwinter Fair, and which was originally erected at tha min- eral exhibit at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. . L. Bardwell has donated a carved wooden mask, the work of Hirazuma, a noted Japanese wood-carver; the head of a8 seal and some_antique nnturi from South America. W. D. Wooster has do- nated a very rare specimen of the owl family. On the Fourth more than 5000 persons visited the museum. The weather was not very clear yvester- day, still there were a great number of people at ‘‘Sutrovilie by the Sea’’ to watch the many attractions, including the per- formance of a tight-rope walker, who marie a successful trip in spite of the heavy wind that was blowing. Many within the baths were delighted with the exhibition designated as ‘‘the water carnival.”” There werea number of barges and fondoln. bright in colors and tinsel and filled with young women and men in the pict ue costumes of Venice, and when they were all in line in tow of a small steam launch they pre- sented a pretty sight. The first was a guard boat with a herald which announced the approach of the Doge and Duchess, and tben came & shell float representing the Venetian conception of music. At the fore was an immense swan, harnessed with gay-colored ribbons, h.ld‘:)x Master Chris Roye, who imper- sonated Cupid and was seated om a high pedestal. the center of the shell sat Miss Grace Gay, a pretty blonde who im- genomed the goddess of music. attired in owing white robes and holding a lyre. The music was furnished by the band that occupied seats in the rear of the shell. . The carnival was also given in the even- ing and will be repeated to-morrow after- noon and evening in honor of the conquest of California. In tie evening it will be presented with electrical effects in color. The new scenic railway at **Sutroville by the sea”” was tested on the Fourth and it was in operation for an hour, but, owin to the slackness of the cable used to ascen the grades, 1t was decided to discontinue the working of it untii next Saturday, and :;; “tlho meantime the fault will be reme- 1ed. At the Haight-street grounds there was a great crowd attracted by the many at- tractions. The performance of the Fourth was repeated in the Casino in the presence of alarge audience. The haunted swinF proved & novelty to many, and, above all, the scenlc railway, which was started on the Fourth, did a rushing business. The cars travel over a distance of 3600 feet up grade and down grade, around curves and through a 600-foot tunnel, with a rapidity that is charming, but a little trying on the nerves of timid people. During the afternoon a man named Wil- son, residing at 32 Sixth street, a passen- ger on the coast line of steam cars, while the train was moving toward the Cliff, had bis hat blown from his head. He jumped from the moving train to recover it, but in so doing fell, and when *‘‘Fatty’’ Kahn, the well-known swimmer, who sprang to the ground, went to his assistance he found him unconscious and biceding from several wounds of the face. Kahn restored bim to consciousness and then dressed his injuries, after which he sent him to his bome. There are a number of swimmers who are practicing in the surf inside of the Seal Rocks preparatory to an ocean swim- ming race. AN UNLOOKED-FOR DEATH George Wallenrod’s Friends Can Scarcely Realize His Suicide. Some of His Old Associates Speak of Him and a Desire to Help His Widow. The death of George Wallenrod in such a tragic manner, coming so unexvectedly, has thrown all his friends in this City, and they are many, into sad thoughts as to what could have caused “the old man,” as he was familiarly called, to take his life. Jovial and bright at all times, even in the face of crucial tests in business affairs, he took the optimistic side of life, philo- sophically smiling at rebuffs and invitine every one to celebrate events if they were propitious. That he should have gone down into a dimly lighted cellar and blown his brains out passes the comprehension of the peo- ple with whom he associated for years. “I can’t understand it in the least,” was the statement from Robert White, who, for- many seasons, filled the box-office at tbe Alcazar. *“The old man was notithe kind to com- mit suicide, so far as I could see his nature. I have seen him when money poured in almost faster than we could count it, and, again, 1 have seen him wher he was a $5000 loser in two weeks. It was all the same apparently, so far as his actions indicated any feeling in the matter. “‘He used to come in and ask me: ‘Bob, how’s she coming?” I would answer ‘Rotten,’ and he would nod his head, say- ing: ‘All right; she’ll come better after a while” Then we would have a drink and that was all. Care seemed to pass nmky from him like water off a duck’s back.”” L. R. Stockwell, one of the merriest of comedians, stepped on the sta e of the California Theater last night with a heavy heart. Betier than any man in the pro- fession he knew Wallenrod. Whether agreeing in business matters or not it was always the same with these two old-time friends. They had been associated for years when the Alcazar first opened, and they coined money together at that time. Their success in theatricals led them to venture into speculation on the stock market, and it was there that they both lost all their accumulations of years and more too. Stockwell quit the market and went back to the stage, while Wallenrod ceased his managerial cureer and stuck to the mining market. Alf Ellinghouse, who is managing the California Theater at the present time, knew George Wallenrod as well as any one. For years he was in Wallenrod’s employ, and was a friendly adviser. In speaking of the old gentleman’s death last evening, he expressed great sorrow, saying: “There is nothing that I couid that [ ‘wouldn’t do for his widow. 1f her husband was Improvident ana speculated, it was always that he hoped to make more. More meant that his wife and children would be better provided for and his purse would be wider open to his friends. I know he dealt in stocks, and he was not unsuccessful for a time, but, I suppose, like so.many others who have gone before him, the day of reverse must have come. “However, 1 do not see how he could have delved very heavily of late. His posi- tion as agent of the Alcazar building hardly gave him much more than a living income, say $80 or $100 per month. He may have had other means I do not know of with which to speculate. But, leaving all this aside, I did not think that Wallen- rod would take his own life. He was a big-hearted, zood, jovial man. Full of charity for others, ‘he stood on his own basis and asked no favors. I think that the theatrical profession conid do worse than to meet aad do for his widow some- thing in return for the many good things he did for ttem. Iam willing.” George Wallenrod was a member in good standing of a dozen fraternal organi- zations, principal among which are the Elics and the Theatrical Mechanics’ Asso- ciation. These organizations will decide to-day in regard to the funeral services. In the meantime the body lies at the undertaking parlors of Porter & Co., on Edd{’nmn No antopsy, but an inquest will be held by the Coroner this morning. ———————— In the Capitol Rotunda. The unprecedented distinction which awaits Mr. Cleveland is that_his portrait and figure are to appear in the great frieze of the rotunds of the Capitol. gSen- ator Hlnsbrou‘fh and his committee on library have decided to finish out the frieze, on which work was stopped seven years ago, by adopting for the nt pan- els these three historic scenes: (1) the discovery of gold in California; (2) the driving "of the last spike in the trans- continental railway; (3) the formal opening of the " Columbian Expo- sition at Chicago by President Cleveland. Sketches of three scenes bave been made by the artist Costagginni, and in a few days these sketches will be on exhibition in the marble room of the Sen- ate. Probably they will create a good deal of a sensation. The Democratic ana Popu- listic Senators who hate Mr. Cleveland so intensely are expected to put in a vigorous Pprotest against painting the face and K:Eun of the President in the great frieze, there to remain as long as the Republic stands. ‘The 1dea is repugnant to them, and a few of them w!.0 have heard of the plan have sworn to kick up such a row asnever be- fore seen in the Capitol. According to their notion it would be an eternal disgrace to the United States to put the President up there among the saints and heroes of the Republic.—Washington correspondent of the Chicago Timen-%{-nld. pet At i il ot L Tk, o the Bouse oh sty ware e n, of the House of ns have been mr’rhdnuntun.. THEY ARE ALL S0 VERY OLD. Members of the Police Force Slated to Be Pensioned. I. W. LEES AMONG THEM. The Board of Police Commis- sioners Will Meet This Morning. IT'S THEIR ANNUAL REUNION. Detective Bohen, Captain Dunleavy, Sergeants Shiclds and Lindheimer in Doubt. This is the morning when the Board of Police Commissioners must in compliance with the law, meet as a Board of Pension Commissioners. The duties of the two boards are vastly different. The same triumvirate reigns supreme in both cases; but, in one, it whips the police department into line and penalizes the club wielders for their shortcomings, or in aggravated cases, dis- misges them from the force. In the other, the czars of the department hold & sort of anti-mortem meeting in which they de- cide upon tha members of the force who have outlived their usefulness. They do not tell them so when they reach a decision, but those whose posi- tions are wanted generally find it out and resign. It looks much better that way than to be dropped from the roll, and those members of the force who have served for twenty years consecutively are entitled to half pay of the grade they were in at the time of the resignation until— well, until death. The meeting of the czars this morning has more significance than the usual quar- terly reunions. Last year at this time—the first Monday in July—the Police Commissioners de- cided that new blood must be infused into the force. Captain Wittman, the ris- ing Napoleon of them all, had shown ex- ecutive ability entitling him, according to Commussioner Alvord, to a better rank than sergeant. In the six years it took him to master the grades from psatrolman up, he had shown the public and his su- periors he was the intellectual and execu- tive master of the set around him. Captain Douglass was thouchtof as a man who had done noble service for over thirty-five years. He was old, nearly three score and ten, about time he should retire and indirectly he was given until July 29, 1895, to do so. It wes not com- ulsory, however, and the captain, who Eufl been quite ill for some time but who felt strong and vigorous once more, did not accept the invitation. On_the follow- ing meeting day of the Commissioners he was dropped from the roll on $75 monthly salary so long as he lives. At the same time Captain Douglass made way for Captain Wittman, Captains Stone, Short and Cullen were given a tip to resign. All did it but Captain Cullen who, for some thirty years, had been of- ficiating as property clerk. His position was a hard one to fill, hence the czars contented themselves with the resigna- tions of Stone and Short, Sergeant Corhn and Patrolmen Gallagher and Asher. In the meantime Sergeant James Moran was instrucied to make himself familiar with the duties of the property clerk’s office in case his services were needed as its chief. This was no aifficult task for Moran, but the czars did not find 1t necessary to dis- place Captain Cullen just then, giving him another year in which to retire. The poor old man ded a week azo and Moran was on Friday night last appointed his successor. ‘When all the resignations and dropping from the roll alluded to here occurred Commissioners T1obin and Alvord as well as Mr. Gunst, who was then quite young in office, but who had done much to infuse the new blood in the department, stated that in another year more changes would be made. There are some dozen or more eligibles for the vension list. They donot like to ac- knowledge it, but the stern fact remains that they have passed the age of 60 years and they have been faithful and hard- workers for the public benefit for twenty years and more. They do not want to be retired, however. As a rule they have saved up little or nothing of their earnings and their families have increased. The idea of havine to be idle henceforth, and, worse still, to be idie on half pay, does not sit well upon them. These eligibles know they are listed to make way for “‘pew blood,” and they do notlike it a little bit. Their names were mentioned last vear, when another year's grace was accorded them, Now, as strong 1n their claim as they have ever been that no younger man can do any better than thev, they look with dread upon this morn- ing’s meeting of the czars. “Will it or will it not?”” is the thought as to the coming of the tip to resign in the minds of the old-timers. Captain Lees is among them, too. That | old veteran, whose personal fortune makes him care as littie for his half pension as he does for the whereabouts of Dunham and Blanther, is as strong and bright mentally as he was forty years ago when he first joined the force. His whole life, you might say, has been devoted to the chas- ing of criminals, and he does not propose to move downyand out to make room for *‘new blood.” Something more than a tip will be necessary. In his case, however, as in that of Dectective Arnop Bainbridge, it would be hard to find a successor of equal merit. Hence. it is not likely the tip wiil be given. But if it isn’t to-day, it will be to-morrow or the next day that Sergeants Lindheimer, Shields, Con Martin, Brown and Hotaling, Detective Bohen and Cap- tain Dunleavy will hear the wires tap. They are all =0 old. HARLEY FRY BURIED. He Was a Prominent Member of the Elks, by Whom the Funeral ‘Was Conducted.

AMBITIOUS YOUNG JAPS, They Are Now Anxious to Join the National Guard of California. Success in the Parade Inspires a De- sire for Something More Than Cherry B ossoms. The ambitious little brown men who cut such a swell figure in the National cele- bration on Saturday last-are not satisfled with the laurels earned on that occasion. | They simply had a taste of genuine Amer- ican patriotism, and now they long for a closer bond. In brief, the Mikado’s subjects, or, rather, those marching in the parade, are anxious to join the National Guard of | California. How to go about it, pre- suming they are eligible, is what troubles them, If the thing can be done, however, it will not be long before the first Amer- ican Japanese military will be ushered into existence. The Japanese club wss organized about two years ago for social purposes only. As it grew in strength, however, the war spirit developed, with the result that the men were instructed i the different move- ments. The club now numbers fifiy mem- bers, the military end being under the command of 8. Yamato. There wassome little friction with the ¥ourth of July com- mittee as o how the club should appear in the parade. Several loyal members in- sisted on carrying Japanese flags along with the red, white and blue. The Asahi band at first refused to play unless this concession was granted. Finally, however, everything was ar. ranged satisfactorily, and now the gallant, white-suited J:ps 't L0 become genunine American soldiers.
