Judge Morrow Stops the Heirs From Yurther Interference With the Assignee of a Baokrupt Firm. United States District Court Judge M‘or- row yesterday rentered an interesting decree in the well-known case of Lloyd against Julia Ball and others. Lloydls the assignee of the bankrupt firm of James Linforth, John Bensley and L. B. Benchley, co-partners under the firm name’ of Linforth, Keliogg & Co., that | failed in 1877, The original assignees were J. C. Patrick, who died in )SST_, and A. L. Tubbs, who resigned his position in the premises. The burden was taken up by Mr. Lloyd. In 1889 Bensley d;deix:::- aving a large and valuable esi % :val‘lgéklxeccnsi(ed ;fi'inci ally of real estate in several parts of the State. ¢ Prior to his death Bensley and his wife, Marion, and other persons conspired to defraud his and the firm's creditors and did so by transferring large nmmmml“ realty to fictitious persons. Mrs. Bens| ely arranged that she should have a fall power of attorney of these fictitious pur- | chasers, which apparently vested in her | ail'of the rights to bandie and dispose of the property. After Bensley's death the widow, while on her way to this coast, died oh the train, and 1n her trank were found many lemx“u“ggmg the plot and i in its fullness. g ““Piblic. Administrator J. C.

A Loyal Address Interspersed With Respects to Some Local Recol- lections. Rev. Father P. C: Yorke’s lecture last evening at Metropolitan Temple for the benefit of the Carnival of the Golden Gate, which is to be held in San Francisco next April, was attended by a large audience. General Warfield presided. On the list of invited guests and vice-presidents were: ‘Archbishop P. W. Riordan, Bishop Nichols of San Jose, Rev. Mr. Voorsanger, Rev. Mr. Levy, Rev. Mr. Nieto, Rev. C. L. Bar- rington, Charles M. Shorfridge, M. H. de Young, A. M. Lawrence, M. Greenblatt, Jobn D. Spreckels, Major Frank Mec- Laughlin, Hon. William Alvord, Hon. S. M. Shortridge and Hon. W. P. Lawler, most of whom were not able to be present. Colonel O'Byrne sat at the right of Chairman Warfield. The clergymen on the platform were Revs. Fathers O’Con- nor, Crannsell, Philips, McGrath, Mulli- gan, O’Kiordan, Cleary, Cummins, Egan and J. F. Nugent. The appearance of Father Yorke on the platforni and his introduction by the chair- ‘man were met with enthusiastic and con- tinuous cheering and applaase. Chairman Warfield read a letter of re- gret at inability to be present from Mayor- elect James D. Phelan, who was extended a reception and banquet by the Associa- tion of Improvement Clubs last night, and from Bishop William D. Nichols of San Jose, alter which he introduced the speaker. Father Yorke said in substance: It Jooks like old times—I mean the times be- fore the war. Itgiyes me much pleasure to come here this evening to speak in behalf of the Golden Gate carnival. Itis an undertak- ing to benefit our City, and I am glad to be able to contribute my mite to the carnival of the Golden West. We are all of different races and religious Beliefs, but we are one in this, that we are proud of our home and anxious to do it good. You may remember that the Greeks of oid looked npon the city as their state. It was their fatherland. The examples of patriotism were displayed in towns which we would con- sider insignificant. We of this day look forward to the time when the esrth shail slumber 1n universal law. Still, we have not forgotten the old Greek idea ot fealty—thut he who serves his city best serves his country best a: Every tie that Dbinds us to this earth binds us tothe city and | the state and the nation.

M. Scanlan, Rev. Edward Slavin, J. J. White, A. L. Peters, Oakland; Colonel Elmer Oiis, San Diego; W. P. Grant, Berkeley. Prior to the election of officers’ the fol- lowing ‘amendments to the constitution were adopted: Article 3, section 7: If a branch decides not to send any delegate to the State Council it may elect some one of the officers of the Stat Council or & delegate-elect of some branch who will be in attendance to represent it Such officer or delegate shail, in addition to Lis own vote, have a right to the vote or votes belonging to that branch. The following—article 5, section 5—was stricken out: The State president, vice-president and State + secretary shall invite a priest to act as State spiritual di who, upon acceptance, shall be the State spiritual director for the en- suing term, provided the priest requested to 50 act be & member of the order. The third section of article 7 will hence- * forth read that the State secretary’s com- pensation shall be given in two payments, as follows: . The last parment shall not be made until he shall have written up the minutes ot the con- vention in the minute-book and have turned * over to his successor all books and papers and other property, in good order, to the satisfac- tion of the State president. In law 4 the following amendment was adopted: This State Council shall empower its officers to levy a certain sum per capita o defray its The Stute officers may call in the or two payments, and every branch he amount out of its treasury for each actual member at the date of the call as issued by the State secretary and forward it to the State treasurer within sixty da; This was introduced in the nature of a recommendation, which was adopted: That a different mode of levsing assessments be adopted by the Supreme Counecil—a mode by which distance irom toe su e officers would work no hardship on branches, and by which benefits would be paid within sixty deys. We recommend again the mode indorsed by the California State Council and proposed ai the last Supreme Council. Spiritual Advisor Rev. Serda presented his resignation from that oflice, stating as his reason that he was a resident of Oak- land, which place, although possessing fewer Catholics than San Francisco, still was blessed with a great many more atholic Knights. Therelore, he believed it would be advisable to appoint or elect a spiritnal advisor from this side of the bay. Lhe reverend gentleman recommended “the election of Father Cummings, pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Church, at 3aot- well and Eighteenth streets. Subse- quently the Rev. Serda’s resignation was uot accepted and he was re-elected by acclamation. It was decided that the per capita for the coming year would be placed at §1 25, to form a working capital for the State officers. The newly elected officers aside from Rev. Serda were: State president, J. J. White; State vice-president, Michael Herron; State secretery, A. J. McMahon; State treasurer, F. B. Schoenstein; su- > preme representative, A. J. McMahon; | T | Bequests Amounting to $75,000 Or- alternate, Colonel Elmer Otis. At 9 o'clock last night the Catholic Knights held their biennial banquet at Union-square Hall. \ The toasts and responses were 83 fol- lows: “Our State Officers,” J. J. White; ‘State of California,” J. M. Burnett; **The Catholic Knights,” Rev. Father Heslin; “Tne Municipality.” James D. Phelan’s letter of regret was read and ex-Super- visor James Dundon was called upon in the stead of the Mayor-elect. *Our Dele- gates, A. J. McManon; “The Clergy,” Rev. A. J.

John Willis Baer, general secretary of the TUnited Society of Christian En- deavor, who is in the City to consult with | the '97 committee about the preliminary arrangements for the great Christian En- deavor Convention, spent the entire morn- ing and most of the afternoon in driving round the City with Rolla V. Watt (the | | energetic chairman of the committee), Dr. | | E. E. Kelly and J. 8. Webster, with the | | purpose of seeing the meeting-places | | which the committee has provided for the | | sessions of the couvention. Mr. Baer was | | much pleased with the appearance of | | the City, and expressed the opinion that | San Francisco i an idesl cotivention city. The members of the '97 committee met Mr. Buerat 5 o'clock last evening fora | | xL al conference before his leaving the | | City. Mr. Baer said that be had been agreea- | bly surprised during his tour of inspection | yesterday at the capacity and general availability of the Mechanics’ and Wood- | ward's pavilions. He gave it as his opin- | ion that the two buildings could be fitted | up at very slight cost to hold 16,000 or 17,- | 000 people, and yet give all a zood chance | to hear. With the exception of Boston | and St. Louis, he said that no city had | been able to furnish better hall accommo- dations. e ORPHAN ASYLUM MONEY. dered Paid by Judge Cofley. Judge Coffey of depariment 9 of the Superior Court yesterday made an order fixing the amount certain benevolent in- stitntions are entitled to receive under the will of the late Hiram A. Pearson. The following named were allowed $15,000 each: Protestant Orphan Asylum, Ro- man Catholic Orphan Asylum, 8t Jo- seph’s Infant Orphan Asylum, Pacitic Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Maria Kip Or- phanage. The Ladies’ Protective and Relief Soci- ety have not as yet received their share. The Girls' Directory and the St. Francis Technical Society were denied any share, The Bishop Armilage Asylum aban- | doned its application, the St. Vincent’s Orpuan Asylum withdrew its apptication and it was consented that the amount re- ceived by them under the former order be by them paid to St. Joseph’s Infant Or- phan Asylum. .- Offering for the Poor. For the benefit of the poor and needy there will be a harvest home thank-offering service ‘at Trinity Presbyterian Church, corner of Twenty-third and Capp streets, next Sunday morning, November 22. Those desiring to contribute can sead any kind of provisions, clotbing, etc., to the church at any time or service on Sunday morning. | wenhad a bad climate, no harbor. and bad water, and urged that the metropolis of Cali- | fornia’ should be placed, of all sites in the world, up in Benicia. But in spite of General Smith the metropolis of California grew. The history of the human racé i3 the history of emigration. When we find the leaders of the human race we find them going out of their own country, and. in many instances, as among the Jewish people, led by the Lord. We find Europe swept by nation after nation, peo- ple aiter people, alt pressing on toward the westward star of empire. 501in God's good time they crossed the,Atlantic, and we, the foremosi, have crossed the continent and stand face to face with another ocean on an- other sphere. Science and history show us that the great Asiatic nations staried in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates. with them and wardens of two great conti- nents, Asia and America. It behooves us to consider well our destiny toward our City and our fellow-citizens—of that City which is the guardian of the destinies of the East and the gnteousness exalteth a nation.” We have glorious natural resources, but I will sa: little of them. Others may tell you of Ci fornia’s great undeveloped possibilities. I men who make the country, not the country makes the men. Rich countries nave often been peopled by races who did not know the importasnce of making the most use of the gifts which nature had sent. In this great country we found the lowest and most de- graded tribe of Indiaus that could be found on the continent. Man doth not live by bread alone. There is something higher than ma- terialism. We must have a people who follow thelaw and love righteousness for the sake of xi%meumneq. t behooves the people to see that those things are fostered which promote right- eousness; to see those things in our cities which should be bid remain hidden. It be- hooves you, ladies and gentlemen, to see that things may be better than they are. There are men in'the community who imagine that nothing goes rignt uniess they have a finger in the pie. “Sour grapes” is an old but a true adage. 1do not mean to say our Government is periect or our magistrates angels, but I say that these relormers are not gaining anything by denouncing everything that belongs to the commonwenitn, It is necessary to have an educated commu- nity, and the public should see to it that the education in the public and parochial schools is the best kind oi education. Not all who are of my people believe in free trade in educa- tion.” 11 you ailow a publig-school system to swallow ub the schools you will have a system as siagnant as the Chinese empire. Every man's mind should be left tree to teach in whatever way he thinks will improve teaching. Home is the foundation of the state. Home, the cradle of good citizenship, should be cul- tivated. We have been charged with being a Nation without homes, but they who make the charge know nothing of the home life here. They forgot the dsep sirong current underneatn thatis not visible on the surface. | Thank God we are coming to that condition | When every man m own his own howe, and the tendency ot the Nation is toward the home. Every man who attempts to shift ths burden of the taxation on the home is an enemy of thisCity. 1t is the duty of public men to see that the burdens of taxation on the home are light- ened. Itis an outrage and a shame to our civilization to find on our statutes a law by which the pawnbroker can enter the home and leave the house bare and as though it ‘were tenantiess. 1f we ure to have a great city we must have public spirit. If we are to have San Francisco 88 Lhe poet says of her, “the center of civiliza- tion and the warden of two continents,” then we must have public spirit ana citizens who can e sacrifices. We should be united. We should be one. | We have, unfortunately, in the pest been di- | vided in lines that should never have been brought up; on lines that sought to array father against son. Thank God, we have got over that. The cloud has rolled by. The sun- shine of liberty comes in. Now is the time for men of every class and creed to beup and doing for the common good. In this City there shouid be no lack of enter- Eme. I think when we lock back upon the istory and the beginnings of California we | can s&y they were giants in thosc days, They might not have been of fine manner and dic- tion, but Letter thun manners and diction is manhocd. We admire them for their piuck and endeavor. We can fing example there. We find aiso that there came with them men aud women who sought no goid but the gold of souls. They were iar in excess of the few whose crimes” were told to the earth as speci- mens of California life. If the chiidren of California are not the equals of their fathers and mothers it is the {ault of their fathers and mothers. Bo fer as the native son has shown his mettle, he has not proved an unworthy scion of a ‘worthy sire. Our mountain peaks will be monitors of a new people who will have ideas and who will work them out better than any other peo- pl; lx?:fi ever “"d&'wd Yot eve the g name fof a man’s home should be very dear to him, and the good name of his city just as dear, [ do not thing itisloyal when we find ple slandering the city aud the State in which they live, and any man who does it is an enemy of the weal.

It gotcpinions to refute the Oregomian all the way (fown from Governor Budd to Dr. Dille. The Oregonian reflected on California honor and California women. From this same platform were uttered similar things some months 8go and this same paper and pther papers published them and there was nota word of Tebuke from our papers. This particular paper went out to the world saying on one pege that the Oregonian had calumniated the State, and on its other that we are a commuunity of “deus, dives and drunkards,” which was $id in & sermon by Rev. W. W. Case. Itis very easy to give & city and a State & bad name, and it is very bard tolive it down. We should be jealous of the fair name of our city. When a man sullies the fair name of our city, be he priest or parson, he should be made to show it or shut up. We must make these people back up their statements, or there should be such an expression of public indignation as shall make them keep silence because they cannot keep decency. But best of all 1s to have outside people come and see us. See our flowers and sunshine and ciimate, Thatis what the carnival will bring. We believe this State can sustain twenty times its present population. What we want is for the people to come and see this State, and g;n be deceived by lying pulpits and amphleteers. b Wepbeheve that this City can become what the foet said of her, “‘the Warder of two conti- nents.”” We believe that future generations will find that we in San Francisco have been true to our ideals, true to her trust as the warder of two continents, and that she is the mistress of the sea which stretches before’her. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES. Four Melodramas Are All Drawing Well—Light Opera and Vaudeville Complete the Attractions. Melodrama is having things pretty much its own way at the theaters this week. The Baldwin, the Tivoli and the Orpheum are the only houses not given up to that perticular form of diversion. “Fleur de Lis’’ at the Baldwin is giving more satisfaction than did its twin sis- ter, “The Littie Trooper.” The music, which reminds one-of Offenbach consider- ably diuted, is catchy, and the plot is more ingenious than that of the operetta in which Miss Della Fox sbowed herself last week. Some of the dialogue would bear cutting, for it is nearly half-past 11 before the curtain falls on the last act. Next week Nat Goodwin and his company will present a new play, “The American Citizen,” at the Baldwin. The stirring melodrama, “Humanit; in which Joseph Grismer and Phebe Davies are featured, is drawing satisfac- torily at the Columbia. No doubt the production would have aroused more no- tice if there had not been such aplethora of melodramas this week. “A Ring of Iron" is holding its own at the Grand. The play is by no means new here, but Manager Morosco has an excep- tionally good company just at present, which is able to make the most of Frank Harvey's work. Miss Williams and Ed- ward J. Heron look well after the comedy part of the performance. “Darkest Russia’’ has four more nights and a Saturday matinee at the California Theater. On Monday Loie Fuller will open her engagement. She will also ap- ear on Tuesday and Wednesday and ata Wednesday matinee. The Alcazar is giving its audiences more than their money’s worth of excitement in the melodrama, ‘At Fort Bliss.” One of the most startiing scenes is a duel in which the wicked colonel takes first the hero and then the heroine, *‘One down, tbe next come on.” The play is very satisfactorily acted by the stock company and the scenic effects are all good. An exceptionally good performance of “Donna Juanita” is being given at the Tivoll. Elvira Crcx_Seabrooke makes a dashing cadet. and Lily Post singsand zcts well as Petrita. A feature of the pro- duction is the well-sung choruses, and the children’s chorus in the last act is a pretty plece of work. A. H. Knoll and Marie McNeil, the tures of the Orpheum’s bill this week. Tue sketch done by Lewis and Elliott bas caught on fairly well, and Burt. Shepherd has added a number of new gags to his | monologue since he opened at the begin- ning of the week. Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler will give her fifth recital this evening in Metro- politan Temple. MISS BUCKLEY'S INGENUE ORBIT Its Brilliancy Not Dimmed by Any Other Star. Frank Doane ani Amy :Lee Withdraw From the Alcazar Theater. His Interest Has Recently Been Pur- chased by the Remaining Three Partners. When Frank Doane became oneof the co-partnership in the management of the Alcazar Theater upon its reopening some morths ago, he saw in it, in addition to the stock of hard money on the profit side of the box-office, an opportunity for his wife, the charming actress, Amy Lee, to display her versatility. Miss Lee soveral years ago appeared in ingenue. parts with great success, but when she desired to undertake them at .the Alcazar the associates of Mr. Doane demurred. Miss Lee is a clever actress, they said, but time brings changes in other qualifications for a spirited ana supple part. The co-partners said nothing derogatory to Miss Lee’s talent, but if the truth must be told it was her avoirdupois on which the objection hung. They contended that Miss Lee was not supple enough—for in- stance, to take the partof Katein “The Ugly Duckling”’—but Miss Lee and Mr. Doane contended that she could act as girly as Miss May Buckley or any other fair actress of more or less avoirdupois. The contention resulted in Miss Buck- ley appearing as the- Ugly -Duckling, which she did with much_success, and in Miss Amy Lee not appearing at all. Hence relations in that part of a theater which the public sees not longer than is SOLOMAN WAS ABSENT. The Investiga'ion of Inspectors Dock- ery and Davis by the Board of Health Postponed. The investigaton of the charges against Chief Food Inspector Dockery and Market Inspector Davis by the Board of Health did not go on yesterday, as was expected, because of the absence of the chief witness for the prosecution, S. Soloman, who claims to have been the go-between in the transaction on which the accusations are based. Soloman has stated that in order to trap Dockery and Davis, whom he claims had been soliciting bribes from dairymen, he offered then $600 to protect Messrs. Zim- merman & Rubland. M. M. Estee anenred for the prosecu- tion and stated that as the man he repre- sented was not present and he had not been able to see him he would ask that the matter be postponed for a week. matter taken up atouce, and of having the charges dismissed if the witnesses, pezr. : Hall a dozen attorneys who were pres- ent to represent every one concerned, in- cluding the Milkmen’s Association. ob- | jected 1o such a measure, and Mr. Roth- | child, who appeared for Soloman, assured | the board that bis client would be on hand ira continuance was granted.

There was a continuous disagreement between the manacement as 1o what parts in the drama Miss Lee should por- tray to a delighted audience and what she might not be ntted to essay. The relations lately have been rather sirained, and it is saia that Miss Lee would not make up on the same side of the house or appear in the same act with Miss Buckley. This week things were terminatea. Mr, Doane and Miss Lee are no longer inter- ested in the Alcazar. His interest was purchased by the other partners. Messrs. J. B. Jordan, Fred Belasco and Harry La | Faille, and Miss May Buckiey, who car- ried off the honors in “The Ugly Duck- ling,” and since then in other ingenue varts, is now the leading lady of the Alca- zar in ingenue parts.
