PATERSON, Secretary Joint Committee. INTERCOLLEGIATE BALL St. Mary’s and St. Ignatius College Teams to Contest. ‘What premises to be the most interest- ing event of the season in intercollegiate baseball circles is the St. Mary-St. Ignatius game, which is to take place at the Pre- sidio athietic grounds, Sunday, September 6, at 2:30 P. M. These teams were rivals in the California Intercollegiate League of the Midwinfer Fair, and in the several games played by them at that time gave the prettiest exhi- bitions of amateur ball ever witnessed ona local diamond. As they are very evenly matched, bothin the field and atthe bat, n red-hot contest will surely resuit. Sunday’s game, whatever the result, will in all probability be but the first of a series of three, all of which will be played in | this City. Already over 1500 tickets have been sold | CATHOLIC CADETS' SECOND REGIMENT League of the Cross to Be Extended Through Cali- fornia. OAEKLAND ORGANIZING.

There is a noticeable and appreciated lack of vendors of the chewing gum, popcorn and peanut variety, but on the other hand there are scores of pretty white-capped and daintily dressed girls anxious to give away all manner of good things, liquia or solid, tc whosoever will accept. The attendance yesterday exceeded by several hundred that of the opening day. From 2 o’clock until the closing bour last night the Pavilion was comfortably filled. In theafternoon hundreds of ladies roamea through the vast building, at times giving audible expression to the artistic creations which met their gaze at every turn. There are more exhibitors this year than ever before in the history of the institution. In fact. the demand for space could not be met, it being necessary to refuse some sixtv applicants. The exhibit of W. P. Fuller & Co. is one of the handsomest ever seen in Califor- nia. The two side walls are solid plate- glass mirrors, the largest ever manufac- tured in this country. Above each mirror | is a row of colored electric lights extend- | ing all the way to the two entrance places. | Inside the booth a perfect blaze of many- colored lights reflected by cut-glass mir- rors meets the gaze. The effect is dazzling | and artistic in the extreme. One of the novel and attractive features of the exposition is a creation in soap—an artistically designed triumphal arch, fif- teen tons of Queen Lily soap being used in its construction. The cornices are done in soap and the floor a mosaic of small soap sqnares. Around the whole runs a chain of soap balls and inside the house colored electric lights are to be seen. > There are hundreds of other booths just as atfractive in their way as those already enumerated, and each is_admired by the thousands of spectators for its own charm. Down near the machinery ball the Union Iron Works hasreproduced ifsentire plant in miniature. An elaborate programme has been ar- ranged for to-night, which has been termed “Scotch night.” The following is the order of exercises: Merch, “The Campbells”; overture, “White Ludy of Avenel” (Boieldien); descriptive nau- tical fantasie, “Vovage 1in a Troopship” (Miller); ~euphonium_ solo, “Auld Robin Grey,” W.

Crowe, Dr. J. A. McDonald, Thomas raser. Scottish Thistle Club—Chief Coulle, Alex Campbell, William Dawson, G. W. Peterson. All the Scotch in the City have been notified of the event, and it is presumed the cians will gather as of yore. The fiery cross has been sent out summoning the McKays, McDougals, McKenzies and all others to gather and descend ou the Sas- senach. With waving plumes and broad tartans Clans Fraser and Macdonald and the Scottish Thistle Club will march into the Pavilion. The pibroch of Douail Dhu will summon the clans, and to the tune Jose and Oakland have been received. The enthusiasm of a student gathering is proverbial, so a vociferous time may be expected by all who attend. MUHASKYMUEIALISM' He Instances Some of Its Ad- vantages to Society in General. Eloquent Address Before a Very Large Audience in the Turk-Street Temple. Frank J. Murasky, the popular ex- grand president of the Young Men’s Insti- tute, has added several thousand names to the long roll of his friends through his masterly address last night at the socialist mass-meeting in the Turk-street Temple. The meeting was held under the auspices of Liberty Branch of the Socialist Labor party, and the attendance at the temple was large. Secretary Theodore Lynch read from the socialist paper, The People of New York, an *‘Address to American Wage- workers,” which was cordially received. The warmest applause, however, greeted Mr. Murasky as he stepped to the front in response to a very flattering introduction bv Henry Warnecke, the president of the evening. Mr. Murasky reviewed the existing con- ditions of human society, dwelling upon the injustices which some sections of the body politic are now obliged to endure. By way of a contrast he presented a glowing word picture of the advantages which belong to the ideal socialistic state. He gave copious and telling quotations from Emerson, Howells and other famous English and American_writers in support of his contention that in socialism can be found the remedy for existing political evils. Continuing, the lecturer referred to the degrading conditions imposed by society upon the world’s toilers, instancing ihe forlorn state of the diamond miners in South Africa. Many men, he said, regarded socialism as an economic heresy, but others—among whom was a millionaire friend of his, whose name he preferred not to men- tion—were making a deep and earnest study of socialistic teachings with a view 1o estimating their probable effect as a remedy for the present state of things. *Christ in his sermon on the Mount,” said Mr. Murasky in conclusion, ‘‘preacned socialism pure and simple. Were he pres- ent on the earth in human form to-day he would preach it again. For my own part Ibelieve that socialism is true and its principles irrefragable.’’ Amid much cheering and applause the orator of the evening received a unani- mous vote of thanks, after wrich brief remarks were made by James Andrew, the Socialist candidate for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, Theodore Lynch, Leo Gassen, 8. Seiler, M. Leiters, Ebel 'Hecht and Will- iam Nagle, and the meetin, adjourned with the singing of the *‘Marseillaise” bymn. . During the evening over a hundred names were added to the petition asking that the names of the Socialist candidates be printed on the ‘official ballots. Wit- nesses of the arrest of Charles Sunflower were requested to attend and testify, if need be, in Judge Conlan’s court to-day. Next Wednesday evening the Rev. J. K, Beott will deliver nis famous lecture, “Some Reasons Why I Am a Socialist,”’ and it is aiso expected that Mr. Muras of “The Campbells Are Coming’’ they will appear 100 strong. The following will again address the party in the near future. well established, and a third will be mus- tered in about the middle of this month. The second regiment, League of the Cross Cadets, will be confined to Alameda County, and chiefly represented in Oak- land, Alameda, Berkeley, Temescal and the Haywards and San Leandro district. With four companies in Oakland and one each at the other places, there would be a cadet regiment of eight companies—a very re- spectable body of boys under 21 years of age, all united under the banner of the cross in the cause of temperance. Organi- zation in Alameda County has been begun and will be pushed forward with great vigor both by pastors of the various par- ishes and by the leaders of the league movement in this €ity. It has the ap- proval and direction of Archbishop Rior- dan. For this reason there can be no doubt of its success. The Rev. Philip O’Ryan and the Rev. Peter C. Yorke will take an ac- tive part in the work. They wili deliver addresses, tell about all the good there is { in the temperance movement, and inspire the Catholic boys and young men of Ala- meda County with enthusiasm for the cause. Sunday afterpoon there will be the first grand rally of the league in Berkeley. There are ‘about seventy-five boys in thie Berkeley branch, and it is believed that this rally will largely increase their num- bers. Assoon as possible a cadet corps will be established, but this will depend on the support of friends of the league in | Berkeley, who will be called upon to aid in securing uniforms and equipment. Entertainments will be given and the pro- ceeds devoted to this purpose. At the grand rally Father O'Ryan will deliver an address and administer the pledge to ap- plicants who may desire to abstain from intoxicating drinks until they shall have reached the age of 21 years. Immediately following the Berkeley meeting the first opening rally will be held in Oakland. Because of the nature of this event all parishes across the bay will be represented. The rally is to take vlace in Hansen's Hall on E{gmh street, West Oakland. Father O’Ryan will ad- dress the meeting, and the Rev. J. B. Mc- Nally will also speak on temperance and the aims of the League of the Cross. In his parich there is a large and growing cadet company, and the total membership of the branch numbers 125, The parish of St. Francis de Sales has about 125 boys in its branch of the league, many of whom are members of the cadet company of St Francis de Sales. One other newly organized branch so far con- stitutes the league in Oakiand, and that is the healthy one of the Immaculate Con- ception parish presided over by the ven- erabie Father King. This, too, will have its cadet corps. A week from next Sunday a branch and the nucleus of a cadet company will be organized at Temescal with appropriate ceremony. Then will follow the organiza- tion of branches and companies in Ala- meda, in St. Anthony’s purish, East Oak- land, and later in Haywards, which branca will include the neighboring districts, This organizing in Alameda County is said to be only the beginning of a general establishment of the league throughout California. Assoon as Oakland and the adjacent districts are well in hand atten- tion will be turned to Santa Clara Valley and the other populous places. Even now a branch is being organized at Santa Cruz, and there is some talk of organizing in San Jose and Santa Clara. An officer of the league stated yesterday that there was every indication that instead of a regi- mental emcampment of the league next year there will be a division camp, where cadets from San Francisco and principal cities around the bay will come together. Edith Cole’s Estate. W. H. Crim and Emma Ransom have applied for letters of guardianship over the estate and person of Edith Baxter Cole, the adopted daughter of Nathaniel Cole, whose uuup'u reeenu; distributed. Miss Cole received $41,000 as her share. MR. M'K:LLuPY LECTURES. His Wife Will Hear No More of Them and Sues for a Divorcae. Henry L. McKellops, 8 Market-street dentist, has been sued for divorce by his wife, Ella. If Jars. McKellops is to be believed her husband is a quarrelsome old thing. She asks for a legal separaiion on the ground that he is in the habit of reading he; cur- tain lectures from the time they retire, at sbout 10 p. ., until the hands of the clock point to the smali figures on the right of the dial. He is also said to have remarked that she is *‘the meanest woman in the " fed March 24, L'he McKellops were marri art 1879, and h.vepflve children, the eldest 15 years of age and the youngest but two months. Community property worth about $1500 has been accumulated in their home at 411 Leavenworth street. The plaintift prays that she be granted a divorce; that she be awarded the com- munity property, the custody of the two youngest children, attorney’s fees and per- manent ahmony.. Anything else she de- sires will probably be mentioned ih an amended complaint. —————— POLiCE :RIBUNAL. The Case of Sergeant Monaghan Dis- missed—Collins Fined. The Police Commissioners met last night and fined Policeman John B. Col- lins $5 for violating the rules of the de- partment. The case of Sergeant Hugh Monaghan, who was represented by Attorney J. K. Ric: ards, was dismissed, at ths request of Mrs. Monaghan and_on motion of her at- torney, Patrick Reddy. A divorce suit was pending, and Sergeant Monaghan, on the advice of his attorney, standing firm, it was decided that this was the best course to pursue. MARRIED A~ MINISTER Miss Martha Kuner and the Rev. Herman Gehrcke United. A Pretty German Wedding in the Pastor’s Own Church. A very pretty German ceremony took place at 7 o’clock yesterday evening at St. Matthew’s German Lutheran Church on Eleventh street, when Mrs. Martha Kuner and Rev. Herman Gehrcke were united in marriage. The bridesmaids, Misses Anita and Myrtle Hermes, with the maid of honor, Miss Schwerin, led the bridal procession, followed by the bride leaning on the arm of ber father, Aibert Kuner. The groom, accompanied by his best man, R. A. Kuner, brother to the bride, met the bride in front of the altar, where the Rev. A. Jather, pastor of St. Mark’s Chutch of Oakland, received them and bound them in holy wedlock. The Rev. Gehrcke is pastor of the church where he was married. He is a native of Hildesheim, Germany, and has been a resident of this city the last five years. At the conclusion of the ceremony the vridal party adjourned to the home of the bride, where a sumptuous banquet was served. The young couple will start this morn- ing for the southern part of the State, where a brief honeymoon will be enjoyed. SPOKE OF GENERAL GRANT Comrades of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R, Listened to W. H. L. Barnes. A Fraternal Visit From Admiral D. D. Porter Post, Oak- land. The rooms of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R.,at320 Post street, were crowded by comrades Monday evening, who assembled to hear General W. H. L. Barnes speak. The occasion was enlivened by a visit from Admiral D. D. Porter Post No. 169, Oakland. Beveral comrades from Lincoln Pcst, among them H. C. Dibble and C: Mason Kinne, were present. General Barnes spoke of Grant, and spoke in an interesting and instructive style. It is the fancy of the eloquent orator to address the Post occasionaly, takipg for the topic of kis talk, Lincoln, Grant or some other conspicuous figure in National history. Last evening he spoke of Grant on the Pacific, and the discourse was rendered interesting in a remarkable degree by the recital of some incidents and events in the life of the great leader .that have never been published. He traced the fortunes of the illustrious soldier from the time that he was poor and almost friend- less in Oregon, untii he had achieved the E;emest honors that this country can StOW upon a citizen or a soldier. The orator paid an eloquent tribute to the modest worth and simplicity of Grant. fleference was made to the fact that General Grant, when in the zenith of his fame, remembered a gentleman, now a resident of California, who had long years before rendered him a service when he was in great distress and almost on the verge of despair. Grant’s masterly qualities of leader- ship in action and his “attribute of gener- osity to the vanquished when the conflicl was done were eulogized. It was obvious to all who had the pleasure of listening to the talk that General Barnes had made a special and careful study of Grantas a citizen, as a soldier and as President of the United States. He expressed the idea that men would be better in citizenship if they would study the character and career of such American citizens as Lincoln and Grant. The time, he said, was auspicious for such study. The address elicited the heartest ap- plause and the orator received a unani- mous vote of thanks from ‘the assembled comrades, —_——— NEXT SUNDAY'S OUTING. A Grand Trip to the Big Trees of Bohemia The sale of reserved-seat tickets for Locke’s excursion to Bohemia next Sun- day began in earnest yesterday. It is a very popular trip, the section to be visited being one of the'most interesting in the State, and as there is no extra charge for reserved seats on the train when tickets are procured in advance at 333 O’Farrell street, many people will avail themselves of the oppurtunity by securing their tickets before going 1o the ferry, where tickets will be sold Sunday morning for unre- served cars. _A popular rate of $1 25 for the round trip is offerea; children under 12, 65 cents.

Belle Stevenson Makes Careful Preparations for Suicide. HER SUCCESS IN DOUBT.. Pasted Strips of Wrapping Paper Over the Cracks in Her Door. THEN OPENED ALL THE JETS. After ®ressing in Funeral Garb and Swallowing Carbolic Acid She Lay Down to Die. A woman named Belle Stevenson made a most determined attempt to commit suicide in the Florence Hotel, corner of not return inquiries were made at the hospital and her identification followed. The professor said she had been in poor health for a long time and that possibly would account for her seeking to end her life. He thought she was a married woman or a widow, as she always wore a plain gold ring on her left hand. He knew nothing whatever about her past history. She had evidently disposed of her mar- riage ring and a gold scarfpin she always wore, as neither was found in her posses- sion. She had not regained consciousness up to a late hour last night and her condition had not improve TENNIS AT SAN RAFAEL. Arranging to Have Local Celebrities Meet Eastern Men. In the invitation tournament at San Rafael between the Kastern champions— R. D. Wrenn, W. A. Larned and Carr B. Neel—the committee has_decided to have Sam Hardy, Robert N. Whitney, George F. Whitney, Thomas Driscoll and Walter Magee to compete against them. Every player will play every other and the one getting the highest average will be declared the winner. This tournament will be on the plan of the one at Bar Harbor. After a player has been beaten a certain number of times he will be retired. ————— SIMON KOSHLAND BURIED. The Pioneer Wool Merchant Laid in the Home of Peace. Simon Koshland, the wool merchant, was buried gesterday morning from the family home, 1808 Pine street. He died Monday from an apopletic siroke.

She went to the hotel between 5 and 6 o’clock Tuesaay afternoon and asked for a room. Tke landlord, Thomas Withers, asked her to register her name, but she declined, as she had her gloves on. With- ers told her all guests had to register, and again asked her name. “Put down Marks,” she said after some hesitation. “Mrs. or Miss?"” asked Withers. “‘Mrs. H. Marks,”’ she replied. She looked at room 23 on the first floor, but did not like 1t, preferring room 30 on the top floor, which she paid for. The woman carried in her hand a small valise. Herclothing was neat but of cheap material, and she wore sn ecru cape, a black woolen aress, straw colored waist and a rough straw hat. Withers thought she looked like a woman from the country. About 7 o'clock she came downstairs and asked Mrs. Hooper, the honsekeeper, for some matches and she got a supply. Half an hour later she went down in the elevator to the street. Itis not known when she returned, as she must have walked upstairs instead of taking the ele- vator. About 5 o’clock yesterday morning the night watchman rang the housek:eper's bell and told her that something must be wrong in room 30, as he heard a woman moaning as if in pain. He got the house- keeper’s passkey and opened the door. A peculiar cracking noise scared him fora moment and a volume of gas that poured out of the open door almost suffocated him. He rushed for the window and threw it wide open, Then he groped for the gas-burners and found both turned on full cock. He quickly turned them off and staggered out of the room and noti- fied the proprietor. They went to the woman’s room and found her stretched on the bed. She was frothing at the mouth and her lips were blue. She was moaning and was seized with occasional spasms. An examination of the room showed that she had made careful preparations for death. The cracks in the door had been covered with strips of wrapping- paper which she had pasted on with mu- cilage. She had stuffed her skirt into the space at the bottom of the door, and had covered the keyhole with her cloak. All this was done to prevent the gas from es- caping. After making these preparations she put on clean underclothing and a neat night robe. Then she apparently drank some carbolic acid from a bottle which was found in one of the bureaun drawers, and turned on the gas from both burners. The carbolic acid must have cansed her intense pain before she lost consciousness, as a towel in the room was covered with blood which she had expectorated. Withers summoned the patrol wagon and the woman was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Fitzgibbons used all the usual remedies to restore her to con- sciousness, but without avail. Inview of the fact that she also took carbolic acid her chances of recovery are doubtful. In her purse was found $1 50, but no pa- pers to giveaclew to her identity were found either in her purse, valise or pock- ets. The mucilage bottle was in the room, but a pair of scissors could not be found, and the supposition is that she had clipped the wrapping-paper into strips before go- ing to the hotel ana had placed the strips in Ler valise. Four or five cigarettes, partly consumed, were found on the floor, and some tobacco in_her valise. The woman came from Arizona about three years ago and had been working as a dressmaker and milliner. For the past year she had been rooming in the house of Professor Alibert Le Forst, 30 Lewis street. She left there Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock, and ‘as she dia e —————————————————————————————————— Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. orthodox Jew, and when a number of years ago the congregation of the Temnvle manu-El decided upon reform methods he, with a coterie of friends, withdrew therefrom and founded the Mason-street !

NEW TO-DAY. e o Where Men Are Weak In the small of the back, the general nervi muscular and sexual center —the point a which the nerves, which feed neerly sil the vital furctions of the body, begin—this is where nearly all men and women are weak. A pain here may mean, and generally does, the exhaustion of nerve strength in the vital or- gans. It is the nerves crying for aid, and no pain at this point should be passed as imma- terial. It will come again, and with greater severity, and if the message given by the nerves is not attended to it may result in general nervous prostration, impotency or Bright's | disease of the kidneys.
