HER LAST WISH - T0 BE GRATIFIED Kate Field’s Remains to Rest With Those of John Brown. PLANNED BY A FRIEND Free Transportation to Be Fur- nished From Honolulu for the Body. PREPARATIONS BEING MADE: Railroad and Steamship Lines ana Wells, Fargo & Co. to Contrib- ute to the Object. Kate Field's remains are to find their final resting place mextto those of John should be interred in one plot attachés a sad romance. It is history that the famou s liberator, who hailed from the forests and mountains of the Adirondacks, expressed the wish during his lifetime that he should be bur- iea in the grounds on which stood his bhome, built fiy his own hands from tim- ber felled and prepared by him. This tract of Jand was purchased in 1870 by acompany for the purpose of perpetu- ating the memory of the martyr, and Kate Field, Henry Clews, Le Grand B. Cannon, Hon. Thomas Murphy, Hon. Salem H. Wales, Isaac H. Bailey, Charles Stewart Smith and George Cabot Wood were con- tributors to the fund. This property stood in the name of Henry Clews as trustee until the 21st of July, when it was for- mally transferred to the State of New York. At thesame time the monument erected to the memory of John Brown, and which bears the names of those who donated the land to the State, was un- veiled amid impressive ceremonies. ‘Writing of this event to the Elite, a soci- ety journal of Chicago, Mary Stuart Arm- strong says: “John Brown is not the onl{ hero to be laid at rest upon the North Elba Hill. It is the purpose of some of Kate Field's friends to carry with tenderness the mor- tal remains of this gifted woman to the park and to have them repose there ac- cording to her oft-expressed wish. Itis touching to see how many of the veterans of the Adirondacks loved Kate Field. They tell incidents of her visits there which evidence her remarkable kindness and justness, while tears fill their eyes or fall from off their ruddy cheeks. It was she who made John Brown’s desire to be buried there a fact. We shall see to it that her wish is likewise fulfilled.”” Near the spot where John Brown’s body lies stands the big bowlder upon which he had cut his initials when endeavoring to establish a colony for fugitive siaves there, who were to arrive by the underground railway. The same writer and friend of KATE FIELD. [From a photograph taken several years ago.] Brown of Osawatomie, ““whose soul goes marching on.” 1t is true that Lilian Whiting of Boston has abandoned the idea of bringing her friend’s body to this country for inter- ment, but another and equally dear and devoted admirer of the noble woman, who was always active in some good cause, has | taken up the matter, and the indications are that the expressed wish of Miss Field will be fulfilled. Mary Stuart Armstrong of Chicago is behind the new movement, and has taken a most practical way to carry out her de- sign. She has written to the general passenger agents of the SoutLern Pacific, the Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern railroads, requesting them to aid her in her plan by undertaking the transportation of the remains. i 4 i l a q Mewory ¢f l;oun"finnwuu, 2t Mdy © (8 fl.

No more suitable resting place could be chosen for all that is mortal of Miss Field. To be laid there will help to preserve her name and keep alive her memcr{.” It is expected that all the arrangements for the removal of the body from its rest- ing place in Honolulu and its transporta- tion to the Adirondacks will be comvleted by the time the next steamer sails for that port. ‘Will Aid the Social 8.

A prompt answer came from Mr. Valentine to the effect that the express company would be trlmi;mrl the remains of Kate Field from San Francisco to any point in the United States which the company reached. It now remained only to arrange for transportation from Honolulu to this City, and this matter was referred by the South- ern Pacific officials, who had the affair in hand, to the prover representative of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Com- pany, and a favorable reply is confidently expected from the latter company 1n a day or two at the furthest.

FVORING THE SOUTHERK PACFG Curious Figures From the State Board of Equal- ization. IN MOREHOUSE'S NAME, How Its Assessment Per Mile Compares With the Central Pacific. A STARTLING DISCREPANCY. The Reports to the Auditor Are Signed by Chairman Morehouse Alone. Auditor Broderick received a communi- cation from the State Board of Equaliza- tion yesterday thet will prove very interesting to those who are familiar with the history and inside workings of the Southern and Central Pacific railroads and may be the cause of some very searching questions being asked the board and par- ticularly Chairman Morehouse, Brief dispatches from Sacramento pub- lished in the San Francisco papers on the 4th 1nst. announeed that the valuation of the Southern Pacific Company’s property for assessment purposes had bpeen in- creased by several hundred thousand dollars, and that the valuation of other roads had been slightly decreased. No mention was made of the most interesting portion of the board’s action relating to the assessments of valuation of the various roads per mile or of the startling dis- crepancy between the valuation plaked on the Southern and Central Pacific com- panies’ property per mile. The document received by the Auditor stated that on August 3 the board had considered the railroad assessments and had fixed that of the Southern Pacific at $16,573,33¢ on 1770.95 miles within the State, of which 7.36 miles are within the City and County of San Francisco. The revort on this company concludes as fol- lows: The assessed value per mile of said railway, as fixed by & pro rata distribution per mile of the assessed value of the whole franchise, rail- way roadbed, rails and rolling stock of such reilway of the said company within this State is $9358 44. The portion of the road within this City and cornty must pay taxes on $68,878, In reference to the Central Pacific the board reports that it has placed the total valuation at $13,000,000 on 746.76 miles of road within the State of California, of which 2:.46 miles are within the City and County of San Francisco, and on which taxes must be paid on $42,825. The valua- tion per mile is placed at $17,408 53. The figures which stand out conspicu- ously in the report are those relating to the valuation per mile, the difference be- ing $8050 09 per mile in favor of the South- ern Pacific. In view of the well-known fact that the Southern Pacific is far better built and equipped than the Oentral Pacific these fdgures are looked upon as very remark- able, parficularly in view of the fact that the San Francisco and San Mateo road, with its simple equipment and inexpensive roadbed, is assessed at $5788 99 per mile. Perhaps the queerest thing about the report is the manner in which it is signed. The pages relating to the Southern and Central Pacific companies have spaces at the bottom for the signatures of all of the members of the board, butin each mstance the only name that appears is that of Chairman Morehouse, apparently showing that Messrs. Arnold, Beamer and Chese- brough, the other members, eitherhad no hand in the making up of the figures or did not approve of them. The law requires that the State Board of Egualization must assess the raiiroads and transmit the results of their deliberations to the Auditor so that the necessary por- tions can be inserted in the Assessor’s books before they leave his hands. APPEAL OF THE CLERKS, Dry-Goods Salesx;ien Look for Support From Various Organizations. They Repudiate a Spurious Circular That Injures Friendly Houses. Laaies May Be Members. The Retail Dry-goods Clerks Association held a meeting last night in K. R. B. Hall and showed that they were deeply inter- ested in the early closing movement. Jerome Donovan occupied the chair, and the hall was well filled With members of the association. The executive committee in a report submitted to the meeting stated that it had decided to ask the Women’'s Federa- tion and the Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union to appoint a committee to visit the principal dry-goods houses and secure, if possible, the signatures of the proprietors to an agreement to close their stores at 6 ». M. every night in the week. The following form of agreement was recommended: We, the undersigned, agree to close our stores on Saturday at 6 P. M., provided 'other principal dry-goods houses do likewise. Mrs. Clarkson was appointed to wait on the ladies. 7 A form of petition was also drafted to be diuributer among iraternal and labor organizations asking their co-operation: We, the undersigned, desiring to aid the Retail Clerks in their endeavor to secure the closing of ail dry-goods stores at 6 o'clock Saturday evenings, do agree to use all honor- able means to influence our friends and the ublic in general to do their trading before g o’clock. The rez)orb was unanimounsly adopted as progressive, The question of admitting the sales- women to membership was discussed at considerable length. A motion that was 1aid over from the former meeting, to the effect that the ladies be admitted as mem- bers with obligations to the society simi- lar to those of the men regarding dues, was amended variously. The original motion was withdrawn in favor of an amendment that the Iadies be admitted to. membership, with dues fixed at half the regular rate. This was carried withouta single dissenting vote. A committee of five on membership to visit the various dry-goods stores and urge salesmen to atterd the meetings and work in behali of the movement was appointed. '{) %uiglln,tD. J. ftanello, IAZ. Lowenstein, D. McGarrity an 80T Sullivan were selected for this duty. o A circular purporting to come from the saleswomen of San Francisco and contain- ing resolutions on the early closing of dry- stores was read. It created cons| able excitement, as it included J. J, O'Brien and Kohiberg, Strauss & Frohman among the stores that kept vpen after 6 ». a. The fact is those houses close early and are the strongest friends of the clerks in their fieht for early closing. The associ- tion consequently rapndintsi the circular as a spurious and hurtful document. MISSION BRANCH CHALLENGED. The Main Youlg Men’s Christian Asso- ciation Wants Another Trial. A larce gathering of the main Young Men’s Christian Association athletes was beld in Physical Instractor Dr. H. L. Diets’ office last night. The meeting was called to seeif the athletes would chal- lenge the Mission San Krancisco Young Men’s Christian Association athletes for a field day contest. The Mission San Fran- cisco Young Men’s Christian Association athletes easily defeated the main Associa- tion athletes in last Saturday’s field day at the Mission Athletic grounds. All present certified their willingness to chal- lenge the Mission San Francisco Young Men’s Christian Association athletes, and a challenge was therefore issued. Dr. H. L. Diets, physical instructor of the main association, was elected secre- tary and treasurer, and George Klaarmann was elected captain of the athletic team. Part of the new athletic team of the ma.n association is composed of Titus, Wilson, Drumm, Leilack, Kammiter, Guit- tard, Wolfsohn, Fleisher and Harder for sprints; Klaarmann, Manning, Jobnson, Plzzemn and Ziska for the distance runs; Spacher, Klaarmann, Leilack, McDougal, Ziska, Drumm, Wilson and Schroder for broad jumping and high jumping; Spacher, McDougal, Schroder and Lawton for pole-v:nltini;e Peterson, McDougal, Kammitter and Leilack for walking; and Spacher, Leilack, Ziska, Fleisher,Titus and Mitchell for shot-putting and hammer- throwing. WINTHROP'S TRIL SET, On September 1 He Will Be Brought to Bar on a Charge of Robbery. Granted a Stay of Ten Days in Con- formity With a Supreme Court Decision. Judge Wallace yesterday gave O. W. Winthrop until September 1 in which to prepare for trial. District Attorney Barnes desired to have the case set for Tuesday next, but the attorneys for the defense opposed it. They presented an affidavit signed by the prisoner in which the history of the cas® was reviewed, and it was set forth that undue haste had been employed in bringing bim to trial. It was also complained that Winthrop is absolutely unprepared for trial. He says he has been kept in close confine- ment and few persoas allowed to see him. Winthrop also charged that the police have given out untrue stories about him in order to prejudice the people against him. He alleged that this would make it 1mmpossible to secure a jury that would try him fairly. Besides the general complaint against the police force the matter of bail was re- ferred to. The fact that Winthrop is a poor man was cited and the amount of bail set by the court, $30,000, was alleged to be out of all proportion and impossible of procurement. A stay of thirty days was asked. Mr. Barnes quoted the Supreme Court decision in the Fredericks case, which held that ten daysis sufficient time in which to prepare for trial, and Yoinmd out the fact that Winthrop has already had eleven days. Judge allace in deciding upon the question said that there were no specific charges in the defendant’s affidavit and no reason advanced why thirty days should be allowed. He would follow the rule laid down by the Supreme Court, he said, and grant a continuance of ten days. ‘Winthrop was placed in the custody of the Sheriff until Tuesday, September 1. Becker and Creegan, the notorious forgers, were up for sentence pefore the Winthrop case was called, but the matter went over until August 28. Daniel Linehan, an old man, who has six prior convictions against him, was sent to San Quentin for riteen years for stealing a dirty shist and an old pair of shoes. The jury recommended him to the mercy of the court, but the prior convic- tions rendered ' the recommendation in- effective. Linehan’s request that he be sent to San Quentin was granted. George Brighton, the diminutive house- breaker, who recently tried to escape from Judge Wallace’s courtroom, was sent to San Quentin for two and a half years for attempted burglary. Frank Ballard was given a similar sentence for a similar offense. The trial of Mrs. Susie B. Martin for murder was set for October 5. ————————— WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS. They Held Their First Informal Recep- tion Last Evening. The first informal reception by the Woman’s Suffrage Association was held last evening in the Parrott building. The State Central Committee acted as a recep- tion committee, and prominent among them were Mrs. A. A. Sargent, Mrs. Nel- lie Holbrook-Blinn, Mrs, Austin Sperry and Miss May G. Hay. The object of these gatherings is to give all those interested in the movement an opportunity to meet the leaders thereof and exchange ideas. As many are unable to attena gatherings held in the daytime the time was set from 8 to 10 o’clock on the first and third Thursday evenings of the month until the election is beld. The gathering last eveaing wi suc- cess in every respect, for many visitors of poth sexes were present, although no ad- dresses or lectures had been ‘prepared. The three rooms, which are on the fifth. floor, were hemcif'ully decorated with flags and flowers. Among the visitors were Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Bram. These ladies gave good reports of the movement in the southern part of the State and said thatin their section they expect there will be a goodly majority in favor of the much-de- sired consti tutionai.amendment. ——————————— CUM YE TONG SOCIETY.

The Cum Ye Tong Society claim the charges brought against them are all false; that they are a peaceful company, baving no ill-feeling toward Chun Man or any one else; no price upon his head and no connection wha:?ur withdlnoendhlr- ism. They are greatly agitated over ngly rumors whyich have been circulated about them and Long Li wishes it understood that they are a law-abiding society. * —————————— Fair Will Case. Judge Slack yesterday declined to proceed with the trial of the case of Angus et al. ainst Craven. This suit is the one filed to test the velidity of the pencil deeds to the Pine and Sansome and Guerrero streets prop- erty. A continuance of the case was asked Their because of the absence of Attorney Garret McEnerney, who is on his wedding trip. Judge Slack snnounced, however, that he would not hear the case at all until the con- test of the pencil will is dis) a of. The mat- ter therefore went over for two weeks. Famous and Peerless.

Selfridge Sr. died in this City yesterday at the home of her son, Edward Selfridge, at 2615 California street, at the advanced age of 86 years. Her maiden name was Louisa Carey Soley,and she was the daughter of Squire John Soley of Charlestown, Mass., thus coming from an old New England family. She came to California recently on a visit to her two sons in this City, Frank C. Selfridge and Edward A. Selfridge, the last named being the president of the George W. Gibbs Company of this City. She was not ill long. The immediate cause of death was old age. Dispatches were sent East last night carrying the news of her demise w0 other sons living in the East. Mrs. Selfridge was the wife of the old- est rear-admiral in the United States navy. He was appointed a midshipman from Massachusetts in 1818, and was re- tired in 1866 after over forty-five years of continuous service. Two of her sons are in the United States navy now. One of these, Thomas O. Selfridge Jr., is also a rear-admiral. Another son is Lientenant- Commander James R. Selfridge. From this 1t will be seen that the Seliridges have been prominently con- nected with the naval branch of the United States service. Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge Sr., who survives his wife, is 91 years old. For many years Rear-Admiral and Mrs. Seliridge have re- sided at Washington, D. C., which is still the home of Rear-Admiral Selfridge.
