‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1896. WANTS T0 LIVE WITH HER FATHER Grace Baker Does Not Care for Her Female Relatives. RUNS AWAY FROM HOME. Prefers Her Mother to Her Grandmother, but Doesn’t Like Either. HER PARENTS ARE DIVORCED. A Fourteen-Year-Old Girl Who Has Studied the Law Regarding Her Position. A little girl bas been found who don’t e her grandmother. Sbe don’t like r mother either, but she confided to Judge Slack yesterday that she hundred times rather live with her mother than with her grandmother. Bhe 1s a bright-faced pretty little miss, and she doesn’t seem to be such a very, very bad girl, but she told unblushingly how she | ran away from home ever so many times. | The little girl’s name is Grace Baker, and her father and mother have not lived together for almost ever since she can remember. Hermother, Mrs. Susan Baker, who is aschool-teacher, got a divorce away back in 1887, and was by the court given the custody of Gracie. Gracle has a mind of herown, and for some time has been deeply thinking about the action of the severe old Judge, who said her mother might have charge of her. Papa Baker has been in the habit of coming to see his little daughter once or twice a month for a long time, and durin, these occasional interviews she forme quite a liking for her father. He took her to Oakiand with him and thetwo wan- dered about together in Blairis Park and almost forgot to come home, so happy 7 in each other’scompany. When ally did get back Mrs. Baker met them at the door and "gave them both a ing over for staying out so late. The happy hours Miss Grace spent with her caused her to long for his com- nd made her restless at home. Her mother was unable to control her effectu- ally and they had bitter quarrels, and then Gracie would run away. to live with her grandmother, but ran away from there, too. scribing her levanting from her grand- that she used the remark quoted aph of this story, She there she went to her , “who,” she naively added, grandmother very well, like The result of all the runnings away was hat Gracie finally ran to her father.

Hugh O'Neil, the San Mateo County butcher, who for several years carried on the business of slaughtering decrepit horses in this City and sending them to Chinatown for sale, was convicted by act- ing Police Juage Kerrigan yesterday of :emffing into this county tuberculous eef. 2 Thomas Mahoney and Patrick Harring- ton, who were driving the wagon contain- ing the beef when captured by Market In- spector Ben Davis and a squad of police, testified that O'Neil had instructed them to convey the meat to a butcher-shop in Chinatown. They were corroborated by other witnesses. O’'Neil clagimed that he had given the beef to the young men to carry to the fertilizing works, but as he could bring no evidence to support his | statement his story failed to impress the court, particularly as Inspector Davis tes- tified that attempts had been made to re- move the tubercules from the ribs of the carcass by scraping them. Judge Kerrigan found O’Neil guilty un- der the section of the law that prohibits the transporting into the County, seiling or exposing for sale diseased meat, and ordered him to appear for sentence to-day, intimating that in his judgment the of- fense merited a severe penalty. WSS KATHRIN KIDER The Star of the Mme. Sans Gene [ Company Expected To- Day. Impersonator of the French Laundress Who Fascinates Napoleon Bona- parte in the Play. Miss Kathryn Kidder, who assumes the role of Catherine Hubscher, the washer- woman of the Rue 8t. Roch in Sardon’s Mme. Sans Gene, will arrive in this City, overland, this evening. She will make | her first appearance in this character at | the Baldwin Theater Monday evening, | Angust 31. Miss Kidder is a lady of ! marked personality who has made an en- | viable place for herself in the dramatic profession. Sardou, when she was abroad, sent for her to visit him in his study. | Sardou said to her that he ‘had made | Mme. Sans Gene a vulgar woman and as | such she must be played.” | Some light is thrown upon Miss Kid- der’s characteristics by her response to the great playwright. ‘“Pardon me, sir,”” she said, with emphasis, *you do not know American audiences as well as Ido. I | shall play her as an ignorant woman, but not a vulgar woman.” | Itisrelated of Miss Kidder that she has | fads. One of these is a fondness for lace handkerchiefs, of which she has made a very large collection, She has gathered them from all parts of the country, North, South, East and West, and she never fails to purchase one in every city she visits as a memorial. She is noted for her love of pretty things, and perhaps her handker- chief collection illustrates this. Another trait is illustrated by her ac- | count of ber personal impressions concern- | ing Sardou. She has sent an account of KATHRYN KIDDER AS MME. SANS GENE. tle, fine print,”” which said that a minor of the age of 14 years might choose her own guardian, Ske thought she saw a way out of all her troubles and so consult®d her father about it. Then shegrent to a lawyer. But alas, she found t¥at the law didn’t apply to her case. ‘ Yesterday the Bakers were in Judge Slack’s court, represented by a number of attorneys, fichting for the possession of the child. Mrs. Baker, with tearsin her eyes, declared that she has only her off- | spring to live fop Gracie stoutly mamn- tains that she will not reside with her mother and that she wants to spend her days with her father, who has placed her in a young ladies’s school on Pacific avenue, where she is being taught French and Latin and other polite accomplish- ments. Mrs. Baker, however, says that her ex- husband is not a proper person to have charge of an innocent child. She claims that he is a “bad man” in the truest sense of the word; that he was unfaithful to her during their married life; that he 1s un- truthful, unreliable and dishonest. She cites an instance in which she declares | that Baker stabbed a man at Los Angeles, and also says that he has on several oc- casions appropriated property belonging to other people, all the while being osten- sibly a pillar of the church to which he belonged. S There was not time to finish the argu- ment yesterday, so the matter went over until to-day. b 4 Gracie is'a very intelligent, lovable, lit- tle girl, and no matter to whom the court may see fit to award ber, one thing is cer- tain she will lead any one who triesto keep her from her father a dog’s life.

She was in | Sardou’s studio only a compnntlve}iy ghort time, but she took in her surround- ines with the fidelity of a camera. “It is not the studio,” she writes, ‘‘that | one would have expected to find in the home of a writer, but had more the ap- | pearance of an artist's sanctum. There were very few draperies, but the walls were hung with etchings and exquisite ictures of every description, while the urnishings of the room were of the rich- est character, and everything, even to the writing-desk at which the playwright was seated, was arranged with the exacting ’ neatness that betrayed the hand of a care- ful woman.” | During the interval preceding the first | production here of ‘‘Mme. Sans Gene” Miss Kidder will devote some time to see- | ing the sights of the City. e e The Unknown Dead. Yesterday morning the body of an unknown man was found in an empty freightcar on Townsend street, between Fourth and Fifth. Near the body was found & half empty box of rough-on-rats, indicating ‘that the man | committed suicide. Nothing was jound on | the remains by which he could be identified.

RESTRICTIONS TO BE IMPOSED, Neither Parties Nor Candidates for Office to Be Mentioned by the Speakers. Plans have been prepared and are under consideration which, 1f carried out, will give to the people of the Stateof Californis one of the greatest intellectual festivals it has ever been the privilege of any State in the Union to enjoy. Sacramento will be the scene of the ora- torical innovation, and it will be under the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture, and will be provided during the continu- ance of the annual fair of the board during the latter part of September. Not only will the best talent of the ros- trum of California be called upon to par- ticipate in the carnival of eloquence but such speakers as Senators Foraker and Teller are to bqinvized to address the peo- ple of Californa on the great and burning politico-economic questions that are at present agitating the public mind of the United States. But a few days ago John Boggs, a promi- nent member of the State Board of Agri- culture, approached W. H. Mills, who has a remarkable fund of new ideas always on tap, and asked him if he coula not sug- gest something that would lend a new at- traction to the annual fair of the board to be held at Sacramento—something that would break up the monotony of the exhi- bition and displays. Mr. Mills suggested as a very appropri- ate thing the discussion in public of the question of markets for the products of the agriculturists. . This naturally brought up the question of the tariff, ow- ing to the important bearing that matter has upon markets for American products, and this in turn brought up the various issues of the approaching election. The problem was to divest these discussions of anv partisan character. The further the matter was discussed be- tween the two gentlemen the more impor- tance and fascination it assumed. In view of the purity-of-election law, it was argued, it was impossible for any of the parties to spena any considerable money in the way of educating the people, and this would be a cheap way of doing so. As the result of this interview Director Boggs requested Mr. Mills to write out his ideas, so that they would be clearly out- lined. Mr. Mills did so and they were promptly placed before the board. They met with favor,and Mr. Mills was then asked to formulste & complete programme embracing his full plan of education. This he has done and the result of his labors is now in the hands of the board, who will act finally upon the matter to-day at Sac- ramento. Mr. Mills communication, which it is expected the Board of Agricul- ture will adopt as a whole, embraces not only the progosed programme, but the purposes of the project. Itisasfollows: The State Board of Agriculture, believing the future welfare of the people of the State of California to be inseparable from the estab- lishment of sound political and economic doc- trines, recognizes the presence of State and National problems, the solution of which challenges the earnest, thoughtfal and con- servative attention of our people. It has there- fore decided to promote the non-partisan con- sideration of the political and economic uestions of the day, and to that end has oviemined to invite ihe, propouents of vari- ous political and economie theories to discuss these theories before the assembled muiti- tudes of our citizens at Sacramento during the coming annual exhibition of the board. In the execution of this purpose the board is prompted solely by a desire to promote the education of the people, to direet public thought into reasoning and conservative channels, and to inspire patriotic devotion to the highest good of the country, and especially to the future welfare of the people of the State of Californis. To the end ihat the considera- tion of the guestions to be ‘discussed shail not degenerate into Entmm disputation, it is hereby resolyed that the following rules be and ate hereby adopted for the direction and government of the discussions. 1. The discussion of public questions before the board shall not at any time take the form of a debate. 2. The discussion of any subject by any speaker shall be limited to the effect of the poliey advocated upon the people of the State of Ca ifoinia. 3. The following shall constitute the ques- tions which shall be discussed, one address to be delivered on each day, except as otherwise orovided: How would the policy of high protection af- fect the welfare of the people of California ? How would the policy of & tariff for revenue only affect the welfare of the people of Cali- fornia? How would the policy of a modified tariff supplemented by an income tax for the pur- Fose of raising Federal revenue affect the wel- jare of the people of California ? How will the free coinage of legal tender silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the con- currence of other nations affect the welfare of the people of California? How will the free and unlimited coinage of legal-tendersilver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by international agreement affect the welfare of the people of California ? How will the permanent establishment of the single gold standard affect the welfare of the people of the State of California ? How will the construction of the Nicaragua canal promote the weltare of the people of the State of California ? How may California secure a re-enforcement of l;zertcup’}t;l :nd opulation a ote.—The two last-mentioned snbj be[ discussed on the same date.] b el How will the proposed samendment to the State constitution abolishing the tax on mort- Pge‘s :flem the welfare of the people of Cali- fornia’ How will the defeat of the proposed amend- ment abolishing the tax on morigages and the maintenance of the constitution in its present ;orm‘ -;Te:nhc welfare of the people of Cali- ornia . How will the proposcd amendment to th constitution of California relating towon:s; suffrage affect the people of California? How will the defeat 0f the proposed amend- ment and the maintenance of the provisions of the constitution of this State, limiting the exercise of suffrage to male citizens only, fect the interests of the people of Californiat [Note.—The amendments to the constitution being State issues, the discussion of each has been assigned to a single day.] What adjustment of the debt owed by the Pacific railroads to the Government of the United States would best promote the walfare of the people of California? [Note.—Two addresses to be delivered In answer to the last-named question,] 4. The sddresses shall be delivered in the State Agricultural Pavilion at Bacramento, commencing at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, an the admission shall be the same as ordinary admission to the pavilion—25 cents. 5. During the delivery of the aadresses the exhibits shall be deemed to be closed to visitors, and the audience will not be per- mitted to disturb the sddresses by walking through the pavilion; but it is expected that auditors will be seated, 6. The audience will be permitted to mani- fest npanvll by decorous applause, butin no case will any manifestation of disapproval be countenanced. X 7. No political banner or device relating to the political campaign will be permitied to be carried or dizplayed by any member of the au- dience. 8. The names o, candidates before the peo- ple for electionfito office shall notbe men- tioned, and cheers or demonstrations of favor- itism will not be permit! Auditors are earnestly solicited to heartil second the effort of the State Board of Agricul- ture to hayve the discussion of these important questions before them as & jury of American citizens, conducted With pon-partisan ae- rum. ooThe poard will confer with political commit- tees upon the question of the personality of those who will address the peo%le upon these political and economic topics, but it reserves 10 itself the right of final selection, The board will appoint a presiding officer for the proposed meetings, who will be vested with authority to call any speaker to order who transgresses ihe rules hereby established and enforce upon the audience 'a courteous and decorous attention. As arule, there is nothing of interest going on during the mornings at the State Fair, and it is for this reason that the morning hours, between 10 and 12, have been selected. The pavilion is to be arranged so that it will be possible to seat 5000 people within easy range of the speaker’s voice. Arrangements have already been made which will insure the presence of Senator Henry M. Teller at the fair. He will speak on behalf of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. He is expected to ar- rive in San Francisco next month. Efforts are being made by the Republi- can State Central Committee to bring Sen- ator Foraker to the coast, and should these negotiations prove successful he will be asked to speak at Sacramento on thes subject of tariff protection. General W. H. L. Barnes will also be asked to speak to a subject that is an issue with the Republican party, and its selection will probably be left to him. M. M. Estee is mentioned in connection with silver from a Republican stand- point. 7! Senator Stephen M. White will explain the beauties, as he sees them, of a tariff for revenue. Captain William L. Merry will be given the opportunity of talking to the masses of the benefits that will accrue to the people of the State when the Nicaragua Canal is a fait accompli. General N. P. Chipman, president of the State Board of Trade, will tell what in his opinion is the best way to attract immi- gration to California. John P. Irish, the enthusiastic gold Democrat in season and out, will be in- vited to expound the benefits of a single gold standard to the people of California. Witty and eloquent Anna Shaw, if the wishes of-the local Woman’s Suffrage Association are heeded, will dilate upon the effect of the defeat of the woman’s suffrage amendment on the people of California. No speakers have yet been mentioned in connection with the other subjects on the programme, but they will be selected with particular reference to their knowledge of the subject allotted to them and their ability to speak in public. It is the pur- pose to make this course of education in political econom{ not only satisfyingly informative but thoroughly enjoyable. GOT MAKY SPECIMENS, Return of University Men From a Tour in Lower California. An Ex-Convict Crushed to Death Under a Keg of Butter on the Queen. Among the arrivals yesterday were the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Queen, from Alaska, and the Orizaba from Mexico. Among the passengers on the former was J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific. At Sitkathe Queen took on about twenty miners who were tired of prospect- ing for gold. Their story does not vary from that of the hundreds - who have reached home before them. An ex-con- vict named Patton lost his life alongside the steamer at Sitka. Heand a compan- ion were attempting to steal a keg of butter from the vessel. Itslipped when the thief was passing it over the side, and and taking Patton along, both butter and man went through the bottom of the boat that was alongside. and dJisappeared. Patton never came up again. Among the passengers on the Orizaba were: D. Coolidge of Stanford University, L. H. Miller of the University of Califor- niaand J. J. Abbott, also of Stanford. They have been in Lower California for three months, and during that time have cellected 1300 specimens of birds, 700 of animals, a large assortment of reptiles and insects and over 1300 eggs. They bring a large assortment of bats, a large colony of which Coolidge discovered by tumbling | into the hole. They say the only deadly animal they encountered down south was the skunk. Anything that the filthy beast bites gets hydrophobia and dies. One of the gnides employed by the party was bitten by one of the animals and died two days later. The Mare Island and Vallejo steamer Monticello has not been running this week. Some necessary repairs to her machinery had to be made, sc she was laid up. Alithough the Sunol has practically had the route to herself in consequence the fare of 10 cents to Vallejo has not been increased, so the traveling public has no cause of complaint. The bark Theobald will return to Coal Bay, Alaska; next week with /miners, miners’ supplies and machinery. The sample coal cargo she brought down has turned out so well that work on the mine will be pushed and aregular line of colliers put on. The German bark H. Hackfeld, now at Honoluiu, has been chartered to load wheat here for Europe at £1 7s 6d less 1shilling and 3 pence direct. The bark is exxected here 1n a couple of weeks. ndrew Jacobson, & sailor on the steamer Mackinaw, had a narrow escape fieuerdny. Had it_not been for James lack, one of the Merchants’ Exchan, reporters, the chances are that he would have lost his life. Captain Littlefield always sends a boat ashore for his wife when he is off Meiggs whart, and yester- day Jacobson was detailed for the job. The backwash of the steamer capsized his boat and ho got tangled in the towing line. Black went to his assistance or he would surely have been drowned. This makes half a dozen lives that the daring boatman has saved during the last year. —————— LINCOLN POST SOCIAL. Professor W, W. Stone Gives His 0ld Comrades an X-Ray Lecture. Principal W. W. Stone of South San Francisco Primary 8chool lectured or: the X-ray in N. 8. G. W. Hall last evening. It ‘was the occasion of the regular spcial of Lincoln Post, G. A. R., of which Professor Stone 1s a member, and he was invited to talk electricity to the comrades. The lecturer stating in the outset that the way to build a heuse was to begin at the base, commenced with the ‘‘wave theory’’ and explaining the forwara move- ment that was sound, the vibratery that was light, and the spiral that was elec- tricity. spoke of the beautiful solar spectrum, then thefar-reaching ray. Witha number of chemicals and several electrical appiiances, Professor Stone illustrated his entertaining lecture. After the scientific repast, refreshments were served and the rest of the evening was passed socially. ——————— Sunday Baseball.

WILL PROBABLY BE INDICTED Attorney P. B. Glidden Arrested for Sending Improper Matter Through the Mails. It is probable that the United States Grund Jury will on Tuesday next return Louis Quong on a charge of subornation of perjury. The Grand Jury yesterday considered a portion of the evidence in the new case, and in Federal circles it is whispered that there is no question as to the final out- come. The principal witness examined was Dong Sing Yit, a demure Chinese maiden who claims to have seen but 17 summers. = It seems that Dong Sing was brought into this country illegally, though through whose connivance is not definitely shown, In any event, it appears that Williams and Quong were brought into the case, and it is now claimed prevented Dong Sing from testifying to the truth. Com- missioner Heacock was before the jury and gave evidence of a most importanc singer will appear before the jury next Tuesday and give testimony corroborating all that has gone before. When this is done it is generaily believed that an in- dictment on the charges above named will be returned. An indictment to be placed on the se- cret file was returned against George Stier- len, the well-known architect and builder, and bond fixed at $2500. The charge is send- ing obscene letters to Mrs. Alifred Isson, now deceased, and who, it may be re- marked, was the wife of his brother-in- law. The damaging letters were in the possession of Judge Sanderson,who turned them over to the Grand Jury at the urgent request of that body. sson is a jeweler doing business at 116 | Pacific street. Three vears ago he lived | in Mexico, and it1s claimed that while | Mrs. Isson was on_ a visit to this City she became enamored of Stierlen. The hus- band heard of this and requested the im- mediate return home of his wife. The woman started on theill-fated Colima arnd lost her lifen the wreck. Subsequently Isson found certain letters written to his wife by the accused man. He opened them and found that they were of an extremely obscene nature. The husband, angry beyond measure, returned to the City and iustituted suit ;:iamst Stierlen for alienating his wife’s | affections. The letters were never allowed to go to the jury, and pending an appeal of Isson’s cause, Judge Sanderson re- tained them in_his possession. Isson ap- plied to the Federal authorities for re- dress, but nothing could be done in the matter at that time, because Judge Mor- row had held there no was crime in send- ing obscene letters, provided ‘they were sealed. Since then Judge Ross has held otherwise and been sustained by the Su- preme Court. With these facts well be- fore the jury it was only a matter of a few moments to return the indictment above referred to. Prescott B. Glidden, the young attorney who was indicted by the Grand Jury last Tuesday on a charge of sending abscene matter through the mails, was arrested yesterday. Glidden is accused of making life generally miserable for Miss Jennie Ryan, the pretty stenographer of Attor- ney Firebaugh. Some months ago the iounv lady secured a temporary revenge y publicly horsewhipping the attorney. The affair created considerable excitement at the time, but was finally hushed up. Fora time Glidden ceased his attentions to Miss Ryan, but a few weeks ago he com- menced again, this time resorting to the mails, with the result that he is now in- dicted on a most serious charge. A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Excellent Qualities of the Late James Dwyer, School Principal. Resolutions Adopted by the Teachers of the Horace Mann School. At a meeting of the teachers of the Horace Mann Evening School, held last evening, the following resolutions were adopted : WHEREAS, The mystic summons of death has suddenly called from us and from his sphere of active usefulness our honored and esteemed associate and director, James Dwyer; and wheress, it seems but fitting that we, 50 re- cently his collaborators, should express in some public way our recognition of the loss sustained by the teaching, profession to which he had devoted so much of his active life, ana Earnculnrly by this school, with whi ch he has een identified since its organization, in the untimely closing of a career that had given romise of years of devoted and efficient work n the full maturity of power, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the academie staff of the Horace Mann Evening School that in the loss of its principal the school has lost the services of one whose high sense of dut; impelled every effort of & mind ripened an broadened by pative talent and exiended ex- perience to its advancement and success; that every member of the school has lost a wise di- rector and prudent counselor, thoroughly im- bued with a personality that made itself feit in the most casual intercourse witn the humtlest punil,del balanced by an imperson- ality that could always look above and beyond the individual, to_the moral and inteliectual elevation of the whole; that every teacher has lost a warm-hearted personal friend, whose rare and admirable gualities won the respect and esteem of his professional associates, as his unassuming character and genial frank- ness commanded their affectionate regard. Resolved, That while we may not intrude on the sacred privacy of the family circle where & vacancy has been left thatcan never be filled; while no words of ours can avail to assuage the pangs of irreparable loss, we still feel that we an indictment against Dick Williams and | character, end Assistant Attorney Schies- | may ask the family of our dq?rua associate, director and friend to accept this tender of our heartfelt sympathy in their deep affliction, and this expression, though im ect, of our sense of the bereavement that théy have sus- tained by the sudden call that has taken trom them ' the husband. and father whom they mourn.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK but Many Eastern Tourists, Few Californians Go There. High Praise for Government Man- agement of the Park Affairs. James Gibb has just veturned from an interesting trip through the Yellowstone Park. Speaking of the visit yesterday he said: “It is surprising how few Califor- nians and how many Eastern tourists visit this wonderful reservation. .I was told that some two hundred tourists arrive daily from the East. The Californians in the park when I was tlere were Mr. Sachs, two young lady schoolteachers, myself, wife and daughter. Six of us from this State were assigned to one coach and we made the journey together, stopping at each hotel in the chain. “It was my observation,’’ said Mr. Gibb, “that the management of the park, under the immediate direction of the United States Government, was almost perfect. The hotels, in point of modern equipment and service rendered to guests, are first class, and each is supplied with its own electric plant. The horses sre fine, the Concord coaches are new, and all the at- tendants seem to understand that their duty is to look out for the comfort and convenience of passengers. -““T was particularly impressed with the intelligence and courtesy displayed by the officers and enlisted men of the United States army who_are on duty in tbe Yel- lowstone Park. I was informed that the finest soldiers in the service are detailed for this special duty. Surely one could not expect more kindness and civility than they bestowed, The enlisied men— private soldiers—seemed to be quite as well informed as the officers. *‘In ordinary sight-seeing one can dothe park in five and a balf days. The excur- sion tickets make this allotment of time, allowing travelers to remain one night at each one of the five hotels in the chain. Our party extended the tour to seven days and a half, which gave us an extra day at Mammoth Springs ard an extra day at the grand canyon of the Yellowstone. *In reserving this yast area of moun- tain forest and natural wonders for the whole people the Government did a wise thing, and in my judgment Government supervision is an excellent feature. When it comes to sublime scenery and wonder- ful works of nature I know that no land in the world surpasses the Sierras in Califor- nia, but somehow we have not acquired the art of getting the le of the world to visit the sights in flfi? tate.’’ THE FUND GROWING.
