Newell, a Traveling § man, Commits Suicide. John W. Newell, a traveling salesman, was found dead in bed in his room at the Royal House, 126 Ellis street, yenerduy by A. W. Turpin, the keeper of the lodging- house. The immediate cause of death was an overdose of morphine, which had evi- dently been administered knowingly, asa note lysng on a table near by reauested that his brother, Arthur D. Newell, book- | keeper for Newell & Brother at 217 Davis street, be notified of his decease. The dead man’s relatives live at 1721 Eddy street, aud the only tenable reason for his committing suicide seems to lie in the fact that he had grown despondent from being unable to find employment.

Seventh avenue, which was acquired for | this purpose about two years ago. The new building will have a frontage of 100 feet on Sacramento street and a depth of 176 feet on Seventh avenue. The lot is | 120 by 560 feet in dimensions and ample in size for such additions as the fature demands of the orphanage may require. The building will consist of a finished basement, two full stories and anatticand will be sufficiently large to accommodate 150 children. In the basement will be located the kitchen and dining-rooms with laundry and servants’ rooms. The first floor will contain the office, reception- rooms, chapel and a ward for the younger children, and in the second will be placed the dormitories and rooms for attendants, while the attic will be devoted toinfirmary wards and storerooms. The proposed lans for ventilating and heating the Euilding are most complete and fully up to the most exacting requirements. The building is to be of brick with stone trim- mings in simple California style and when furnished will cost $50,000. The Maria Kip Orphanage was founded in 1888, and is an offshoot of the Bishop Armitage Orphanage, now located in San Mateo. Originally both boys and girls were raceiveg in that institution, but its rapid growth necessitated a separate or- phanage for giris. In 1888 fourtean girls were transferred from the Armitage to a temporary building located at570 Harri- son street. This was the beginning of the Maria Kip Orphanage. For six years the institution was carried on at the Harrison- street location until the building:became overcrowded, and a year ago last August * the orphanage was removed to the spacious Latham mansion at 638 Folsom . street. There are now 85 young girls in the or- phanage, all that the building will accom- modate. Applications for admissions are mo-zlud almost daily, but have to be re- fused. The new building will be completed in = year, when the lease of the premises now occupied will expire, and at least fifty new girls can be received. It is anticipated that even with the larger structure the applications will continue to tax the capacity of the orphanage, and provision has been made for future enlargement whenever the resources of the institution will admit. The founderjof the Maria Kip Orphanage is Sister Anna of the Sisters of the Good Shepberd, and to her.remarkable capa- bility and enarqy the success of this noble charity is largely due. Associsted in the management the list of officers of the orphanage embraces the names of ladies who are noted for high social position and hilanthropic enterprise all over the State. Miss Gwinn is presideut; Mrs. D. Wood, vice-president; Mrs. Woodwar secretary; Miss Mary Heath, correspon ing secretary, and Mrs. Sidney Worth, treasurer. Theboard of directors includes: Mrs. Sanchez, Mrs. Asbury, Mrs. Dr. rick, Mrs. Buckingham, Mrs. Melton and Miss Maynard. ‘Work on the new orphanage will begin at once and on the 26th olg August the cornerstone will be laid by the Bishop of the diocese, assisted by all the clergy of the jurisdiction. The ceremonies wifi be of an elaborate character and conducted with f;reat ecclesiastical pomp. Piercy & Hamilton are the architects. HIT WITH A PITCHER. While Engaged in a Brawl R. C. Rich- ardson Receives Sixteen Severe Cuts on the Head. R. C. Richardson, living at 521A Natoma street, and his next door neigh- bor, Edward Fisher, had a row on the steps that lead to the flats in which both live last evening, which resulted in the former receiving sixteen severe cuts on the face and head. It seems that the two men engaged ina drunken ?u-rrel on the 4th of last July, and bad blood has existed between them ever since. this City; Charley Fields, interestod in a local insurance offic>; Archie Rice of THE | Carr; William Stuart, & young attor- | ney of Montgomery street: Walter Hyde, connected with the Edison Elec- ric Light and Power Company, and Arthur Burnett, an electrical engineer with the Piedmont Power -Company, all graduates with the class of '95, and Henry Cory and Grant Calhoun, students at Cooper Med:- cal College; Charley Adams, a member of the local school supply firm of Ray & Adams; and Percy King, the clerk of the Board of Education, all of whom were for several years members of the pioneer class that hegan as freshmen, according to the college song, in **The days of beer, the days of cheer, the days of "91.” ack Sheehan acted as toastmaster, and speeches were made by the four presidents of the class—Adams, Crothers, Rice and Langford. Charley Field read an original poem composed for the occasion, and every one present characterized his post- college experience with a story. A committee was appointed to collect funds for a memorial plate, which will be 1mbedded in the quadrangle some time in August, as a reminder of the class that entered Stanford 360 strong and graduated the largest number that has yet been turned out from any college west of the Mississippi. RUN AWAY YOUNGSTERS, Secretary Welsh Reports Their Number as Deplorably Large. Three of the Latest Cases Cited in Support of His Discouraging Assertion. “I don’t know what the young people nowadays are coming to,”’ observed Secre- tary Welsh of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children. ‘‘Cases are constantly coming in, and their hopeless similarity is appalling. - 1t seems common now to hear of young girls main- taining strong, healthy men, while run- away boys are quite the order of the day. *“TPake for example two brand-new cases. Oftto Durbrow, a boy ot 15 years, of good family and fine manners, has fled the town in company with a lad of gbout his own age named Garfield Carnell. The parents, of course, are distracted. It is thought the bovs went 1o Sacramento, and every effort to find them and bring them back is being put forth. Anotherand a similar case is that of John Hook, about 14 years of age, who left town with a Mex- ican ot 25 years, or thereabouts. They are supposed to have gone to Fresno en route for Mexico, “And when it comes to gone-astray young giris their name is legion. Our latest case in that line is a sad though commion one, and the more sad becanse so common. Bertha Smith, a girl of 15, was enticed from her home by a grown man, with whom she went to reside in a Mont- pomery-street lodging-house. At the urgent request of her guardians she was placed under legal restraint by Officer Anthony and sent by Judge Campbell to the Girls’ Training Home. She has run away four or five times and was warned by the Judge that the pext offense would be punished by imprisonment. “This thing has come to be regarded as an old, old story, and more’s the pity. If the law would only exert its utmost rigor upon the adults who pervert the youth of the City, some improvement might be brought about.” o CREPE and plain tissue in all the new tints, fancy squares, for making paper flowers, wire !rnme;, liunp "—}g‘d" and dnmfleinl phgu.

Eddy, Judge Groezinger last then A Footless Bicycle Rider. A novel sight on the streets of Hudson is that of a 13-year-old boy without feet riding a bicycle.” The boy’s name is Carl Burger, and be lost his feet when an infant by coming in contact with a mower. He propels the wheel b{' the pedals into which he puts his wooden stumps, and gets around as easily and en- ings, and now the first one to bid me wel come home is a CALL man.” So said the Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Congregational Church, as he sat yesterday evening 1n his cozy study in the parsonage on Hill street, tired and weary after his warm trip over the plains; but frank, genial and buoyant as ever. The house was redolent of sweetest per- fumes. Kind friends, learning that their pastor was to reach home in the evening, had spent the afternoon adorning the house for his receptien, and then with rare tact had gone their way, thus giving their father and Iriend a chance to rest after his journey. Flowers were seen and their scents in- haled on every hand. The front parlor was embowered in La France roses, no other flower being visible, the general effect being indescribably beantiful. In the back fuarlor carnations reigned in al! their brilliant, fragrant loveliness. Here was no ‘‘color line,” as in the front parlor, and the %tartlingly vivid yet exquisitely harmonious contrasts displayed were most effective. The study—whether as a compliment to the pastor or no, deponent rayeth not— was radiant with bright-eyed “sweet Wil- Men of the®stamp of Bishop Vincent ana others of his school have taken pride in working on similar committees in past years. *‘When they let me get away from Bos- ton,” pursued the pastor, *‘I went for a breathing spell to my old home, near Philadelphia. There, amid the scenesand faces endeared to my bozbood. 1 passed a short season of rare happiness. But I £oon realized that earthly jovs are fleet- ing. Off to Washington I must go to at- tend the International Christian Endeavor Congress. “‘I tell you. that was a congress,” mused the reverend gentleman. ‘“There were so many thousands.there, so many addresses were delivered and so many grand 1deas forced into my head that I feel as though I would need a year to formulate a co- herent statement of my recollections. “Did I speak? youask. Yes,Ihad to deliver three formal addresses. The first, on ‘Growth in the Spiritual Life,” was de- livered in the Metropolitan African Meth- odist Church, one of the largest church buildings in Washington. This is what you wouid call a ‘fashionable’ colored con- gregation. There Is good, solid religion among the members, but they have style, edl]xlcauon and exquisite refinement as well. “Then I spoke at the Calvary Baptist Church on ‘Christian Citizenship' to one of the largest audiences I have ever ad- dressed. My last formal speech was when Mrs. Frances Clark, wife of the president of the congress, and I addressed the body on the ‘Importance of Christian Youth as a Factor in the Chnrch and Nation.” And now,” said the pastor, in a decided tone, ‘you have made me talk too much about myselfand I refuse to_answer any more questions about the Rev. Mr. fiuder's doings,” *‘A graceful incident came underimy ob- servation while I was in Washington. In a ln:fe space back of the White House, called the ‘White lot,’ the congress had three monster tents, each capable of con- taining about 10,000 persons. During a rainstorm one of these tents fell and was much damaged. lmmediately the Penn- sylvania Railway Company sent a check for $1000, requesting us to employ it in re- pairing the tent and refitting it for use without delay. “The keynote of the Congress as given by President Clark was ‘Spiritual Power’ ; but the speakers seemed more inclined to dwell upon ‘Reform’ in its widest sense. The need for a remady able to prevent a Tecurrence of outrages like those recently perpetrated in Armenia, the rights, duti and responsibilities of the Christian citi- zen, and the relations among young peo- ple and civic hfe were among the matters exhaustively discussea and ably treated. Ican only say that I learned a great deal by merely listening. *It may be owing to the love of things lgectlculnr, which seems to be innate in the human heart, but my most vivid recol- lection ot the congress takes me back to the immense popular demonstration on the st-ps of the Capitol. What a sight it was! Thousands upon thousands crowded the space about that grand building, the choir alone numbering 4000 voices. The great Marine band was there, its members in spotless uniforms of white duck; but the volume of human voices kept the ac- companiment from being heard. “A banner was presented to the En- deavorers of Cleveland, Ohio, for the most efficient work during the year, and many kind things were said about California, where a great number of members hope to come next year; but I, like the boys and men who' filled the trees or looked down on the glorious scene from the Capi- tol dome, could only rejoice that I was able to figure as an atom in l!—.at mighty mass of workers for the right. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL'S DAY. General Meeting of the Branches to Be Held To-Day. The following circular letter has been sent to all the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul calling attention to the general meeting of the conferences of the society to be held to-day.

Willjam Rader, Pastor of the Third Cougregational Church, (Reproduced from a photograph.] liams,” rendering the little sanctum yet more fitting for its cheery occupant. “There’s no use denying it,”’ went on Rader, with a sigh of satisfaction, “I'm glad to get back. The moist, sticky heat of the States came near being too much for us. My wife and my little boy Phil went with me. and they enjoyed the Eastern weather about as much as I did. And then coming across the plains my lungs got full of alkall dust, which has given me a nasty, nagging, barking cough that seems to have come to stay. “But I enjoyed the meetings I attended, though I was made to work. To begin with 1 was sent as a delegate to theeighth annual session of the International Sun- day-school Assoeiation.

Just as the .first faint strokes of awn were tingeing the sky Pat once more made his presence known, and, in terms giving unmistakable evidence of recent and huv& slumber, remarked : “Say! if yez was the felly what wanted to_ketch the 2 o’clock thrain, yez can shiape till mornin’, fer, bedad, the blame thing’s gone.”’—Harper’s Drawer. e ————— There are 20,000 hounds in Great Britain used for hnnfi'::n pumu.n.n ISPHALT LAID DESPITE THE LAW, The Market-Street Railroad Defies the Bitumen Ordinance AND NOBODY HEEDS IT. An Interdicted Pavement Put Down on Folsom Street Is BETWEEN STREET-CAR TRACKS. How the Notorious Order Has Been Violated Without Hindrance. There is an order in force to the effect that only one kind of bituminous rock can be used for pavement in the streets of San Francisco. It was passed several months ago over the Mayor’s veto and against his most vigorous protest, and at the time of its passage this order was notorious as the *“‘monopoly bituminous-rock ordinance.” Since it became alaw but one variety of bitumen has been used, for contractors could not risk ignoring the law. The Southern Facific, however, has never given this order a thought, but, on the contrary, has without even the form- ality of a notice to the Supervisors coolly gone to work in disregara of such trifles as City ordinances and put down a pave- ment of its own—asphaltum. Not even members of the Folsom-street Improvement Club were aware of what was taking place under their eyes. They saw workmen laying what seemed to be bituminous rock on Folsom street, be- tween the car tracks, and indeed that por- tion of the street when paved by the Southern Pacific differed none in general appearance from the strips of bitumen on each side and next to the sidewalks. There was a concrete foundation, also a layer of black material similar in all re- spects to_bitumen. But there wasa de- cided difference after all. The railroad’s pavement was asphaltum, one of the bituminous materials especially inter- dicted by the bitumen ordinance. The matter was broucht to the atien- tion of the Board of Supervisors, but so far nothing has been done in the premises. That part of the order which deals di- rectly on the creation of a monopoly is as follows: Order prescribing general rules and specifi- cations’ relating to the materials to be used and the mode and manner of the performance of street work to be done in the City and County of San Francisco. The bituminous rock used shall be of the best,jand shall contain not lessthan 12 per cent of bitumen, The bitumen contained in the material shall be such that none of it will vaporize below & temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and of such a quality as to makea g0od cement. The bituminous rock must also be free from clay and vegetable matter. In reducing the Tock preparatory to laying it shall not be done in open kettles, or by any other process liable to burn or destroy the oil or bitumen in the rock. | Further, the rock used shall be in the condi- tion as taken from the mines in its natural state and delivered in the streets where the work is being done, and without having been reviously disintegrated. The rock shall be eated until it melts and becomes disinte- grated, and shall be uniformly spread over the foundation of concrete and rolled while it is warm with rollers weighing not less than 250 pounds to the lineal foot and about two and a half fegt in length uutil the layer thus superimposed presents & uniform suriace and has a thickness of two and a half inches. In his veto of this order Mayor Sutro stated that it was the admitted opinion of numerous experts at a special. meeting in his office that the order was defective in at least two' respects. “‘The requirement of closed kettles,” wrote the Mayor, *‘had the effect of excluding certain contractors who have stationary plants. The require- ment of the natural condition of the rock wouid exclude certain contractors and also make complete the raitroad monopoly that would have the transportation.” The order shut out bitumen concerns which gave no business to the Southern Pacific Company, since their quarries were not on the lines of railroad, while quarries at Santa Cruz alone were given the ex- clusive privilege of snpplying the bitumin- ous pavement of San Francisco. This pleased the railroad company, but when the time came for that corporation to use a bitumen pavement it undertook, as a matter of course, to Jay asphaltum from its mines at Asphalto, Kern County. It was explained at the Supervisors’ of- fice yesterday that the railroad company NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
