70 BF MARRIED AT THE PRESIDID Engagement Announced of Miss Catherwood and Dr. Grinell. THEY MET AT CORONADO ant News Told at a Dinner in Honor of General Forsythe. o As » BELLE AND AN HEIRESS. | Thae Groom Is a Promirent New Yorl) l Physician and Distinguished Yale Man. T engagement is announced of Miss Jennie 8. Catherwood and Dr. Mortor inouncement was made last even- dinner at the Presidio given by Darling in honor of General For- sythe. Seated atTthe table were brave officers and charming women, who offered their congratulations and drank to the health and happiness of the young couple in bumpers of champagne. Miss Catherwood, the fair young bride to be, is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Darling, wife of the gallant major of the Fifth Artillery. Since her debnt in society three seasons ago Miss Catherwood has been a favorite as well as a leading belle. Having been educated in Paris and London and spent the greater portion of her short life abroad, the young fiancee combines that rare mod- est charm of the European maiden with the delizhtiul piquancy of the American. ‘The result is a delicious mannerism that captivates all that have the good fortune to meet her. As far as accomplishments go Miss Catnerwood has all the cultivated talents that distinguishes the modern, highly ed- ucated girl. She has devoted, however, most of her time to the cultivation of her voice, a rich and pleasing mezzo-alto. Its cultivation she owes to the celebrated teachers Marchessi and Belari. Natare has been more than kind to Miss Catherwood. Not only has she endowed her with rare mental qualities, but lav- ished upon ber rare personal charms as well. She gave her a beautiful face and marked it all over with unmistakable signs ofa bright and bappy disposition, and she crowned it with a mass of finffy hair that just escaped being golden. Fortune hasalso smiled upon this young lady. By the will of her grandfather, the late Judge Hastings, Miss Catherwood was bandsomely provided for. He bequeathed her $50,000 and an interest in the Hasting’s deedog)un, her share of which represents Dr. Morton Grinell, the fortunate man, is a celebrated New York specialist and a distinguished Yale man. Bocially as well as professionally he oecupies a very high position in New York’s exclusive set. He isa member of the Univertity Club of New York and of the Seroll and Keys, the very exclusive Yale club that corresponds to the “‘Hasty Pudding” of Harvard. Dr. Grinell’ is a descendant of an old French family whose name is closely iden- tified with the stirring epochs of French history. A lasting monument to his noble family is the Boulevard Grinelleand La Place Grinelle, Pars, named after them. Miss Catherwood and Dr. Grinell met at Coronado early in the spring, and their en- gagement foliowed shortly after. They will be married ai the Presidio early in November. Dr. Grinell has been offerea a prominent professorship at a leading New York medical coilege, but has not yet decided to accept the position. If he does not the young couple will Fl's the next four years in European travel. The guests who were present at the din- ner, when the announcement was made, were: General Forsythe, Lieutenant Bell, the Misses Young, Miss Catherwood and Major and Mrs. Dariing. The dinner was followed by a reception for young people. INDORSING M’KINLEY. Strong Resolutions Adopted by the Republican Executive Council of California. Mys, J. M. Bailey ana Addie L.

BURGLARS FOILED B A NEWSBOY, He Informs Captain Lees of a Bold Plot to Rob a House. AN ERSTWHILE ROBBER. A Detective Joins the’Gang and Leads Them Into a Neatly Laid Trap. THEY ARE NOW IN THE TANKS Thought to Be Guilty of a Half Dozen Burglaries Committed in the Same Neighborhood. In the tanks at the City Prison are two men who will be charged with robbing the house of Mrs. Conreitch, 611 Eddy street, as soon as the detectives have completed their efforts to trace some half dozen rob- beries committed within the last three weeks to the same partie In the meantime the accused men are down in the *small book,” and the police, with customary discreetness, refuse to give their names or even talk about the case. However, the capture made by Captain Lees on information furnished by a newsboy is regarded in police circles as most important. Outside of this it carries all the sensational features of an up-to- date novel, including a detective turning robber—the thieves searching the jewel- box, only to find that the precious gems have been abstracted, and then the cli- max—staiwart policemen issuing from secret hiding places and commanding the midnight mauraaders to surrender. The story as told by the neighbors—Mrs. Conreitch refusing to talk until given per- mission to do so by the detectives—em- braces all the features above recorded and others equally thrilling but old. Last Thursday night shortly after 8 o’clock a newsboy loitering along Eddy street, near Taylor, observed two men engaged in earnest conversation. As he was about to pass his guick ear caught the word ‘“‘rob,” followed a second later by “611 Eddy.” Under some pretext the boy mana; to remain within earshot without exciting suspicion, the result being that he learned the whole plot. Quick as his little legs could carry him the boy was off'to the Central Station and there told what he had heard. Captain Leesat once detailed a man on the case— said to be Detective Seymour—and later conceived a neat scheme to effect tbe cap- ture of the would-be burglars. The detec- tive called at the house of Mrs. Coureitch and attempted to tell that lady of the plot to rob her house. But the landlady would have nothing to do with him, fearing that her reputed savior was one of the robbers. Disgusted at his reception, the detective retired, to return a few minu ater with acouple of officers and a r displayed conspicuously on his own breast. This time Mrs. Conreith was willing enough to believe the story, and readily agieed to secrete officers in any manner or place desired. This much accom- plished the detective retired temporarily from the scene. Just how the detective managed it is not apparent at presen:, but in a short time he met the robbers and was soon a ‘‘boon companion.”” The barglars took their new-found friend into their confidence, the detective, of course, falling greedily in with the stheme. He was willing to do anything which promised a fair return for the time and labor invested. At 1:30 o'clock Friday morning the three men arrived at 611 Eddy street, and without much ado cast about for the most available entrance. It was finally deter- mined that one of the bay-windows, some seven or eight feet from the ground,would be easy to overcome. A “jimmy’’ did the work, and in a trice the three men were into the parlor discussing what was the | next best thing to do. Into the next room they went, and there conveniently placed was the coveted jewel case. It was but the work of a moment to open the vrize, but gladness was turned to anger when only the shining silk lining met their gaze. Just as the men angrily tossed the case to one side, two policemen came into view and with leveled revolvers demanded “hands up.” 1n a second the two real burglars were securely handeuffed and the story has it that the detective submitted to a similar operation in order to keep up the farce before the real culprits. The men were hurried to the prizon and placed in the tanks, excepting, of course, | the detective who had so cleverly led them | into the trap. | Within the past three weeks more than half a dozen robberies have been com- mitted in the immediate neighborhdod of | 611 Eddy street. It is thought by tte police that the men now under arrest are guilty of all these outrages. Mrs. Conreith, acting under instructions from Captain Lees, refused to talk about the case, though she admitted that the facts as here related are correct. E. M. COOPER’S FUNERAL, The Body Was Sent to Washington, D. C., Last Night, The funeral services of E. Mason Cooper, late manager of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Ex- press, took place Thursday at the family residence, 933 Adeline street, Oakland. The honorary pall-bearers were: John J. Valentine, Ed G. Lukens, Henry Wads- worth, Andrew Fine, 8. W. Cubbuck, W. | Frisbie Lewis, J. A. Fillmore, Aaron Stein, J. P. Meehan, Thomas B. Coghill. | The burial service of the Episcopal | church was read by Rev. J. Hulme of St. Andrew’s Church, Oakland, assisted by Rev.J. A. Emery of the Church of the Advent of this City, who was a personal iriend of deceased and his late wife. The body left for Washington, D. C., last night, there to lie bi the side of Mrs. Cooper, w'hu died 1n Oakland seven years ago. John J. Valentine, president of Wells, Fargo & Co., as a mark of the high es- teem in which Mr, Cooper was held, deputed Captain J. Otey Bradford to es- cort the y to 1ts last resting place. CRUELTY ON THE INCREASE Seeretary Holbrook of the S. P, C. A. Notices a Frequency of Cases. Three Men Arrested for Driving Horses With Diseased Necks and Shoulders. It is strange and disheartening,” said Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals yester- aay, “‘to observe the frequency with whicn unoffending and useful dumb brutes are | mistreated. Cases of cruelty to horses have become so common that nobody seems to speak of them, while even the newspapers barely mention them—if, in- deed, they notice them at all. ““For example, to-day the officers of this society arrested three men for driving horses with sore shoulders. I suppose there is no ‘story’ in tihe case, yet if the poor horses could speak they might recard the matter differently. For some time a | number of teams have been engaged in leveling a road to tbe park in the vicinity of the Almshouse. “Among the horses were several whose | necks and sboulders were festering. The | men in charge of the work had beefi. urged more than once to replace these suffering beasts wiih others in_a healthy condition, but to no purpose. To-day we placed the foreman and two of his assistants under arrest, and I for one hope thatan exam- ple will be made. **This sort of thing should cease. If the parreu‘ton of these and similar cruelties could be held up before the public in their true light, I am sure the very shame of the thing would deter others from the commission of deeds of this sort.” —————— Not a McKinley Man.

Yesterday's Session Marked by the Enaction of Several New Laws. BISHOP MONTGOMERY'S WISH. Associate Members W1I Now Be Admitted on Certain Pre- scribed Conditions. The Young Ladies’ Institute convened yesterday morning earlier than usual in order to dispose of the mass of amend- ments submitted by the various delegates. This was by far the most important ses- sion held yet, so ¥ar as the actual trans- action of business is concerned. The first amendment to come before the institute dealt with the taking of appeals in regard to sick benefits, Formerly there was no time limit, but now an appeal must be taken within thirty days after the decision has been rendered. Adfter considerable discussion it was de- cided to let the death benefit remain at $150. The rules of order also remain un- changed. Another important amendment was one settling the status of associate members. Heretofore no associate members were permitted. It was decided that associate members cannot receive death benefits nor vote on them. Neither will they be permitted to hold office. The age limit was fixed at seventeen years. The discussion of the foregoing took nup all the time of the morning session, and after the amendment in regard to associate members had been passed an adjournment was taken till 2 P. M. 3 In the afternoon, before proceeding to business, a telegram from Bishop Mont- gomery was read o the institute. The text was as follows: 8AN Luts OB1sro, July 10. Miss Josie Malloy. Grand Secretary of the Young Ladies' Inatitute : Wish council cvery success for the good work. GEORGE MONTGOMERY. The next amendment wason the ques- tion of honorary members. As the law now reads they may be admitted at the discretion of the president, providing that not more than five be admitted into one branch. The reguiation of sick benefits was laced in the by-laws of the different ranches. A limit of not over $7 and not less than $1 per week was placed in the authority of the branches, Hereafter members $3 in arrears will stand suspended. The secretary is no longer required by the constitution to no'ify members in arrears, but this matter is left entirely with the by-laws. The report of the headquarters commit- tee showed that the fund_for utablhhins a headquarters contains $1125. This funi was formed by a tax of two per cent on all receipts. Several amenaments were also made to the by-laws of subordinate iastitutes. This completed the work of the day, and a recess was taken till this morning. In the evening a ball and panquet was held in Native Sons’ Hall, which was one of the most successful events of the season. The hell had been decorated with bunt- ing, pale blue and yellow shades being jestooned in an a C manner over the immense room. The emblem of the order abounded, and flowers exhaling fragrant odors were everywhere. . i The grand march was led by Miss Sophia A. Grove and her brother, Frank Grove.

NUEVD POTRERD 15 UP IN ARMS, Property - Holders Object Vigorously to the Pesthouse. DEMAND ITS REMOVAL. Present Location Declared to Be a Menace to Health and Progress. POLICE PROTECTION SECURED, Thanks Returned to Chief Crowley and Other Officials for Courtesies Extended the District. The Nuevo Potrero Improvement Club is in deadly earnest in its demands for the removai of the Pesthouse from its dis- trict. At its meeting last evening the members were enthusiastic in their con- demnation of the present location. A. A. Schumann cccupied the chair ana L. J. Puyer acted as secretary. Rev. Stubbs of the hospital committee reported that at the Jast meeting of the committee they had decided to have posters and placards placed in public places calculated to alarm the residents oi tl:e district to the danger of having a new Pesthouse erected. The president stated that the executive committee had considered the matterand had concluded that the method suggested was not wise. 5 L. J. Dwyer stated that the Federated Improvement Clubs had declared in favor of advocating State aid in the location of the Pesthouse. ‘It seems to me, how- ever,” he said, “that it is to our interest to push this matter ourselves without depending solely on the San Francisco improvers. If we urge the matter the City officials will have to do sometning very soon. We should ask the Mayor and the Board of Heaith to locate this Pesthouse, and I move you that it is the sense of this club that the Pesthouse be not iocated upon the City and County Hospital tract, and that it be located without this section of the City entirely.” The sentiments expressed were heartily indorsed and the motion was unanimously cariied. Rev. Mr, Stubbs said he haa communi- cated with the Chief of Police and the latter had promised to furnish all police vrotection necessary to the district. Two patrolmen have already been furnished, and the good effects are already evident. In view of the courtesy extended by Chief Crowley, Captain Spillane, Lieu- tenant Bennett and Officer Stanton, he in- troduced a resolution expressing the thanks of the club to these officials. The resolution was passed by acclamation, William Siebert called attention to the nemssit{ of an additional primgry school in the district. In order to urge the mat- ter properly it would be necessary to as- certain the number of children of school ave within the district embraced, and Mr. Dwyer volunteered to attend to the mat- ter. The matter of improving Arkansas street was brought up by G. Schier. He said there was a petition being circulated to put a sewer in the street. He was not opposed to the improvement, but thought that before the sewer was put in he wonld insist on the prover grade being estab- lished. Other property-owners affected spoke in the same strain. On motion of Mr. Antonson the matter was referred to the street committee. Mr. Antonson called attention to the necessity of fire-alarm boxes in the vicin- ity. Mr. Dwyer made a motion that the executive committee correspond with the Board of Fire Commissioners and such committee of the Board of Supervisors baving jurisdiction, tending to better fire protection in the distriet. The motion was carried. It isthe intention of the club to get a fire engine and hose wagon in the district if possible. This provision was made for them during the period of extra danger last week, and the members of the ciub believe it should be made permanent. Mr. Dwyer spoke enthusiastically of the good work being done by the San Fran- cisco Improvement clubs. He spoke also of the great earnestness of the people of the Nuevo Potrero in the agitation to re- move the Pesthouse. ‘‘Let every property- owner out here join this club,” he said, “‘and devote his best energies in this ques- tion. You can accomplish something by agitation. If you want this hospital re- moved you can only accomplish it by a concert of action. *You have got to show_these officials that you mean business. If they do not wish to atndf your interest you must teach them a lesson when they come up for your suffrage.” An earnest protest was made against any money being expended in improving the present City and County ospital. The club is primarily in favor of remov- ing the hospital from the neighborhood, but if this be not done they woula be garthfly satisfied if a sanitary and seemly uilding was erected. A Successful Business. The entire control of the advertising agency conducted under the name of Remington Brothers at Pittsburg and New York passed into the hands of R. R. Remington June 18, by the purchase by him of his brother’s interest in the con- cern. R. R. Remington has always been the active head of the business and is widely known. In 1890 R. R. Remington opened a branch office in New York City, taking charge personally and dividing {is time between New York and Pittsburg. The growth of the New York office has been greater than that of the home office, especially during the past year, during which time it has been rur independently of the Pittsburg office. During the last ear all the regular routine work regard- ng the business of the New York office has been done there, thus facilitating the business considerably. The Remington agency makes a spe- cialty of placing advertising in two classes of papers—a county seat list and large city dailies.—The Newspaper Maker. —————— Queen Victoria insists on all her small grandsons wearing Highland dress when they are with her, and even the little girls of the Duke of Connaught wear plaid kilts, Scotch caps and saort jackets when they are under their royal granamamma’s eye. 2 NEW TO-DAY. e EagleBrand Food Condensed Milk “Infant Health,” is a little book of mflumh FREE on appli- N.
