4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, DEPART FROM -HOTEL DEL MAR Catholic Ladies Conclude Their Deliberations and Adjourn. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Scciety’'s Seaside Retreat to Be Freed From Debt and Beautified. HOSPITALITY OF SANTA CRUZ. Delegates Are Tendered a Reception and Participate in a Dance. SANTA MARIA DEL MAR, CaL., Sept. 18.—The ninth annual convention of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society adjourned sine die this aiternoon at Hotel del Mar. “It1s all over now,” a delegate remarked, “and we are happy and satisfied that the coming year is one of great promise for the society.” The deliberations of the Grand Council were almost wholly directed toward widen- ing the scope of the society’'s usefulness and the general improvement of the Cath- olic seaside resort of Santa Maria del Mar. Under the improved amended constitution the business of the society can be more satisfactorily conducted than formerly and charitable work more intelligently done by each and every branch. Looking back over the work accomplished in the past few days delegates say they are highly gratified with the result and can return to their homes feeling convinced that their efforts and actions meet with the entire approval of all members of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society. Certainly they are sure of the commendation of the Santa Cruz branch, and for very good rea- sons, in view of the reception given them last night by their sisters of Santa Cruz. This was beyond doubt the most delight- ful experience of the delegates during their visit here, and it was the talk of everybody in Dal Mar to-day. When the ladies arrived at the Sea Beach Hotel they were ushered into the parlors overlooking Santa Cruz strand. Beautiful flowers and evergreens were everywhere to be seen, for the reception committee had decorated the handsome apartments with masses of blossoms. Lieutenant- Governor Jeter delivered pn address of welcome to the ladies of the society. He commended their charitable work and the purposes for which they were organized, and said they could congratulate them- selves on their place of permanent meet- ing by the reaside, and Sauta Cruz could be congratulated in having the ladies as neighbors and frequent visitors. Mr. Jeter’s words touched a responsive chord in his audience, and he was cor- dially applauded. He presided duringthe reception and introduced Mme. Stelia Lind and T. W. Kelly, who sang delight- fully. Biss de St. Hubert played & violin solo, and between numbers selected music was discoursed by the United States In- fantry band. The reception committee consisted of Mrs. J. H. Logan, Mrs. J. G. Cooney, Mrs. George Bowes, Mrs. Maggie Tait, Mrs, Thomas Brady, Mrs. Thomas O’Neil and the Misses Jennie Mulhern, Kate Handley, Mary Neary and Josie Reardon. After the conclusion of the musical pro- gramme the ball began. Captain O'Con- nell, U. 8. A., and Miss de St. Hubert led the grand march. Dancing wascontinued until midnight, when a charming moon- light ride along the cliffs to Del Mar was enjoyed. The ball was managed by J. T. Stanten, J. H. Leonard, J. W. Kelly, Dr. Cristal, 2. 8. Tait, W, D. Tait; floor committee— G. R. Tait, Charles Gillen, Enoch Alzina and John Sullivan. The first business of the Grand Council this morning was the selection of San Francisco as the place for holding the next convention, in September, 1897. The salaries of grand treasurer and grand sec- retary were not changed, although there was some discussion upon the advisability of altering them. As the constitution was assuming the character of the California codes, through amendments arising from exigencies of new conditions, rew consti- tutions were ordered printed and dis- tributed. It was decided that any mem- ber of the Grand Council not appearing at its sessions should be considered ineligible to any office in 1ts gift. Votes of thanks were tendered to Mrs. M. J. Lohse, founder of the society; Mrs. J. G. Cooney, senior grand vice-president of Santa Cruz; Catholic Ladies’ Aid So- ciety No. 13, and Young Men’s Institute No. 12, Santa Cruz, and to the Rev. P. C. Yorke for his interest in the society’s headquarters in San Francisco. Miss Marcella Fitzgerald of Gilroy was dep- utizea to convey the thanks of tne ladies by letter to_Bishop Montgomery, Father Yorke and Father McNamee. At the afternoon session a report upon the management of the Hotel del Mar and land was -presented. It recommended that the grand president, Mrs. Margaret Deane, be empowered to name seven tras- tees to manage the property. Thisrecom- mendation was accepted in slightly modi- fied form. The grand president will se- lect three members of the board of trus- tees from the grand directors and four from owners of lots in the Del Mar Tract, the seven to have full control and man- agement of the proverty. The earnest desire of the Grand Council is that no effort will be spared by the hotel and land trustees to raise the mort- gage of $5700 within a vear, and further- more that the tract be beautified. So mauch has been done in this direction that it is believed another year will mark great strides forward in this Catholic seaside resort. The committee on order of business rec- ommended that the usual parliamentary form of proceeding in the Grand Council be adopted, and the report was accepted. Regarding the password of the order, it was decided that members of sudordinate branches be entitled to the password until suspended, and that the password be given | audibly by the branch president to mem- bers either upon initiation or at the insti- tution of a branch, The reports of the Grand Council were ordered printed in the proceedings, ana with a rising vote of thanks t> Mrs. Loean of Santa Cruz and to the trusteesof Del Mar the convention was adjourned si die. 2ERRIBLE DOMESTIC IRAGEDY. An Iowa Farmer Kills His Deserting Wife and Himself. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Sept. 18.—A domes- tic quarrel begun in Iowa resulted in a terrible tragedy in this city to-day. S.J. Keller, a farmer from Iowa, came to this city this morning in search of his wife, who had deserted him. He traced her to St. Joseph, and evidently knew where to look for her, for early this afternoon he located bher in the southern part of the city. There was little said by the couple when they met. The woman, who evidently feared him, started to run when she saw him. He pulled out a revolver and fired at her with fatal effect, for she fell cead to the floor. Almost at once he turned the revolver on himself. The bullet almost tore off the top of his head, and he fell dead beside the body of hi fe. - CROSS ARRIVES AT STANFORD. The Coach “ Sizes Up” the Men Who Aspire to Varsity Football Team Positions. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car, Sept. 18.—The big Stanford coach and trainer of the Stanford football team, Harry P. Cross, arrived’ this morning and brought with him a feeling of encouragement and enthusiasm. He spent the morning look- ing over the grounds and getting acquainted with the players, whose efforts for the coming months he will direct. His appearance at Encina was the signal for an overwhelming demonstration of student satisfaction, with which the big fellow was evidently pleased. In talking over ‘the prospects and plans for the coming season Mr. Cross said: *What do I thinkof the men? Well, that is a little bit prematare, as I haven’t seen all of them yet and none of them lined up. Butso far as 1 can judge Stan- ford has excellent material for an eleven. The men are big, stout fellows and look like hard-workers and as though they all took good care of ‘themselves. Ifthatis the case it won’t take longto get them into condition fer putting up a sirong game, and I consider eight weeks amply sufficient for training a team.” As to the character of the training, the coach said that he didn’t believe in long or violent training. ““What I want to do is to keep the men at regular work every evening jlust. 8o long that they are not tired out. I desire to have the men eager each day for the next day’s practice and to keep up interest in that manner. Much responsibility, of course, rests with the boys themselves. They must appreciate the game and re- member that they are working for their college’s reputation on the athletic field. This should be sufficient incentive for them to play a good game and train con- scientiously. 1 don’t believe, however, in having the men worn out cach day—that results from overtraining.” Speaking of the line he said: *“We will devote special attention to making the line impregnable. Yale hasalwaysrelied more on straight football with & strongline than on trick plays with an uncertain line. 1 shall follow out that policy here and teach the fellows few or no tricks. They never work well in tight holes and the good strong game is what counts.” Cross doesn’t have much use for gym- nasium work for football men: he believes the men improve in wind, endurance and muscle more by outdoor exercise than in- door work. “Will you put on a suit and get intp the play occasionally ?” was asked. ““Well, not at once,” was the answer. ‘‘Later, however, 1 expect to play with the fellows to teach them what 1 can by per- sonal opposition in the line.” tercollegiate game on Thanksgiving. He is stopping on the campus, where he can oversee the men’s work. He is delightea with the location of Stanford and its entire make-up. This evening he had the men at a regu- lar practice game for a half hour, before which the candidates were punting the ball under his supervision. He expressed him- self as very favorably impressed with the work and apoearance of the players. BT AWFUL MURDER IN KANSAS. A Seamstress Hacked to Death With a Hatchet While in Bed—Robbery the Motive. LAWRENCE, Kaxs., Sept. 18.—An atro- cious murder was discovered this morn- ng when neighbors of Miss Martha Mec- Coy entered her room to ascertain why she had not made her appearance as usual. They found her lying on her bed mangled in & borrible manner, while the bed itself was saturated with blood, which had dripped on the floor and formed a pool there. A single glance only was needed to show that a dreadful crime had been com- mitted. Lying on the bed close beside the body of the unfortunate woman was a hatchet, its blade and handle all blood covered, while the dreadful gashes in the woman’s head showed how effectively it had been vsed. The alarm was at once given and the police took possession of the premises, but were unable to discover any clew to the murderer. From the condition of the body when found it was evident that the woman had been dead several hours. The murder was probably committed about midnight or shortly efterward. Miss McCoy was a seamstress. She had worked hard and had accumulated consid- erable money, a larze partof which she kept in her room. It is supposed that the murderer learned that fact snd entered the room during the night for purposes of robbery. Miss McCoy probably awoke while the man was at “work, and to save himself he killed her. He had ransacked ber room and had evidently secured the money for which he had searched. —— - INTERESTS THE COAST. IMessenger Service Established in Siskiyou County—Pensions.

FINISH IN SLOW TIME. Backers of the Brutus Horse Heavy Losers to the Race. THREE FAVORITES IN FRONT. Little Cripple Shows His Old-Time Form—Horsewomen Ride for Prizes. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 18.—The fact that Bookmaker George Rose’s great three-year-old Ruinart and the record- breaking Vinctor were to try conclusions ata mile attracted another big crowd to Agricultural Park to-day. Interest was chiefly centerea in this event, and there was some heavy wageringon the race. The opening betting favored Ruinart at odds of 4 to 5, with 9 to 10 chalked against the Brutus horse. The only other starter, Grady, was a 30 to 1 shot. The race as run proved Vinctor to be many pounds from nis best form. Both horses closed in the ring at 9 to 10. Vinctor took the lead from Grady after a quarter had been traveled, showing a neck before Ruinart at the end of six furlongs, covered in 1:16. Freeman then gave Ruinart his head, and the brown fellow walked past Vinctor and won with his rider looking back in the siow time of 1:42. The outcome of the race was a sad disappointment both to Vinctor's owner and the public in general. | Three favor ites, a second choice and an | outsider scored winning brackets and the betting fraternity left the track with quite |a bundle of celebration money. Caliente, | Fleur de Lis, Miss Pollard and Little Crip- ple were the other winners the books had to pay off on. Phaeda, ridden by little “Jimmy” Woods, backed down from 60 to 20 to 1, was senl out by her people fora illing” in the last race, bui bad to be content with second place. Ten selling platers furnished a lively betting affair foran opener, the distance being six furlongs. Caliente, played down from twos to 8 to 5,won rather easily at the end from Rose Clark, a 30 to 1 shot sleeper which finaily tumbled out of bed. Among those who also ran and should haveshown up better were Seaside and Sunrise 1L Both will bear watching in future races. After receding in the betting from evens to 3 to 2, Fleur de Lis downed the other four starters in_the six furlong spin for two-year-olds. Howard 8, whose odas were pounded down from 2} tol1to7tob favoritism, finished third. Hardtack II made the running to the stretch, when Piggott gradually moved Fleur de Lis into tha%ead. and she won, ridden out, three patts of a length before Hohenzollern. The biack horse Bueno again dumped the talent bard in the seven and a half furlong run, with a field of nine starting. Backed down from even money te 1to 2, he showed prominently for part of the distance nmf then finished back in 1 ruck., Striking the stretch second to I cino, who hndgbeen making the running, Miss Pollard, a daughter of imp. Iaalium, separated herself from the bunch and won at the wire by half a length from Long Lady, who came with a meteoric rush at the close. Two Cheers, the second choice, was third. The corncluding race was & mile and a quarter selling event. Opening at 2} to 1, the ring was besieged with cuin on Lit- tle Cripple, and the brown gelding clgsed an even-money chance. The two out- siders, Castanette and Phaeda, led the field a merry chase to the stretch, where the former had enough. The first choice gradually mowed down Phaeda’s lead and won easily in 2:09}4. Littie Bobended up third, behind Phaeda. Six furlongs, selling; purse $350. El Primero stable’s cu. c. Callente, 90, by El Rio Iley-Hettle Humphrey (Butler), 8 10 5. A. K. Wakeman’s ch. m.

CLEVELAND, Omto, Sept. 18. — In the case of the Alamedas’ protest against the Tufts-Arms Company nine at Los Angeles, Manager Burks of the Los Angeles team has introduced three affidavits bearing a notary’s seal to offset Alameda’s claim. Mr. and Mrs. A, Franck, varents of the protested player, have sworn to affidavits that their son was born Ncvember 2, 1878, and is therefore but 17 yearsand 11 months old. Second Baseman Tufts also swears before the notary that he (Tuits) was re- sponsible for the clerical error on the entry-list. He says that it was thmu?h an error of the typewriter that the mis- take occurred. TENNIS AT PACIFIC GEOVE. Harper and Jones Beaten by Finley and Hamilton. PACIFIC GROVE, CAL., Sept. 18.—The most exciting game of tennis ever wit- nessed at this place was played this after- noon on the city courts. The mmest:ams were Ed Finlev and Dudley Hamilton against James Harper and A. W. Jones Jr. Both teams played in the Pacific Coast tournament on the 8th and 9!}1 and did good work. There was great r}vnlry between them. A large crowd was in at- tendance this afternoon. Harper and Jones played a game after the style of the ‘Whitney broihers and did excellent work all through the match, but this style of playing being rather new to them they lost. The score was: 6—2, 1—6, 6—4, 8—6. Both teams will represent Monterey and Pacific Grove ian the Monterey County tournament for doubles championship, which will shortly take place, and it is believed the losers of to-day’s match will capture the cups. Jones holds the county singles and Harper the Pacific Grove city singles championship. STR POINTER 1S KING Paces the Three Fastest Con- secutive Mile Heats on Record. Goes a Half in :59 3-4, Estabiishing a World’s Figure for That Distance. MEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 18.—An enor- mous crowd gathered at Mystic Park this afternoon to witness the free-for-ail pacing contest in which Robert J, Frank Agan and Star Pointer were entered. The race dedeveloped the three fastest consecutive heats ever paced, while in the first heat the New England track record for a mile was beaten and a world’s pacing record for half a mile was established by Star Pointer. When the horses were sent off in the first heat Star Pointer had the pole, with Robert J in second place and Frank Agan on the outside. At the quarter, which was made in :293, Pointer was in the lead, with the others at his heels, and when Star Pointer passea the half in :59%4, beating all exisiting pacing records, a tremendous shout went up from the throats of thousands of spectators. The three-quarters was passed in 1:31}4, with the positions of the racers unchanged. Into the stretch they came at a record- breaking gait, all three working assteadily as engines. Pointer shot under the wire a winner by balf a length in 2:02), and when the crowd realized the fast time that had been made the excitement was tre- mendous. In the second heat Star Pointer led from the start to the end of the mile, and the relative positions of the horses were un- changed throughout. Time, 2:0314. The third heat was practically a repeti- tion of the second until within the last thirty rods of the wire, when RobertJ, who bad been pushing Frank Agan hard all the way for second place, pushed by him and finished about a length behind Pointer.

Says the Clevelands Played the Chicagos “‘a Tebaw Trick.” CLEVELAND, Onto, Sept. 18.—Captain Anson of the Chicago ball team yesterday advanced a novel reason for the postpone. ment of the game between Cleveland and Chicago. Play was interrupted on account of the wet grounds, and while the early rain did not appear to be heavy enough to render the grounds unfit for playing, when the hour for the game arrived it was dis- covered that League Park was the damp- est place in the neighborhood. Anson was greatly disappointed and not dis- to take the disappointment good- naturedly. 7 s 1t is a Tebau trick,” he said. *He has used up his pitchers on us and would have to putin Young or Cuppy. He wants to save that pair for ncinnati, so wet grounds is the excuse. You can’t tell me that amount of rain made all this mud. No, sir; Tebaeu had a lot of men out with hose all the morning, and I know it.”’ proess Sumetint Armed Mexicans on the Border. EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 18.—A telegram from Las Cruces, N.
