The name of the picture is “Gone,” and it portrays the grief of a son at the moment the spirit of the chief, his father, passes from the body, which has just ceased its death strugele. and is lying on the floor of the mud hut peculiar to the Indians of the Southwest, while the son in an attitude of intense despair bows his head over the corpse from which he bas just heard the last deep-driven gasp. The picture conveys to the beholder a sense of the agony of the parting which the young warrior must bear all alone, “GONE.” for there are no comforters near, and solitude adds to the sadness of his experience. Mr. Joullin has in his studio the Indian pottery and blankets which he studied to make the details of his fine work true to what such a scene would really be, and they are in the picture justas the real articles look. The picture is the creation of his imagination, and he planned to throw upon his canvas an expression of the sudden and overwhelming pain In this, it is considered, he has been successful to a high degree. He has been advised to send his picture to that would come to such a mourner over the dead. Mr. Joullin is a native of this country, but he learned his art in Paris. New York for exhibition.

The annual meeting of the San Fran- cisco Fruit and Flower Mission took place yesterday afternoon at the society’s headquarters, 631 Sutter street. Reports of tue officers of the past year were read and adopted, and officers chosen for this year. The secretary’s report showed that the charitable work for the past year had been particularly heavy. s had received two donations of large and one from an h estate of $200. The iict that 200 = dinners had been furnished therwise would have been so unifortunate as to be without good din- ners on that day was mentioned as a sub- ject for special rejoicing. The treasurer’s report showed that the | ladies had expended in their generous | worik among the poor $600 more than the | regular income for the year. Fortunately | they had a sum of $4000 to draw upon which had been given them in a single donation, or otherwise they would have been compelied to close their doors for | lack of funds to continue the work of re- Mi GEORGE A. ABEL, Grain Inspector Exchange, Who Died From Asphyxiation Yesterday. grain_inspector created a profound pression on Change yesterday, for Mr. Avel was known to and loved by every | member. The exchange adjonrned at noon out of respect, the flag was run up | half-mast and a committee of three, sisting of E. Ransome, F. Dalton and W. Dresbach, was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions. In announcing the death to the ex- change the president, A. Gerberding, paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the de- ased. Mr. Abel was generally admitted to be | the best judge of wheat on the coast. At Jeast, his judgment was more relied upon than'that of any other man. His reputa- tation among Buyers in England, Australia and else- where insisted upon his certificate being attached to bill The deceased was a prominent member of the Druids and of the Odd Fellows. The funeral will be conducted by the former organization. Of the Druids he was a past arch of Elvin Grove No. 16 and a past chiet Druid of Hortnagle Supreme Arch Chapter No, 3, and at the time of bis death held the office of alternate su- | Supreme | preme representative to the Grove of the United States. He was one of the most vigilant of the order in look- ing outfor brothers in distress and for th- reiatives of those deceased. The funeral will take place noon.

If they could secure more life members at §20 they wocld prefer that form of assistance, as it would render un- necessary frequent appeals to the publ: ‘The results of the year showea very e: couraging progress both in work done and in growth in membership. Fifteen new | active members were added yesterday. They have thirty workers who give their personal attention to the doinz of this labor of love. They visit the sick, bring | flowers and fruits and also substantiais when needed, and above all, as one of the ladies wished the public specially to under- stand, they bring good cheer. The girls are exhorted lo_go to the sick man as if they were visiting a brother, and to make | very sure that their charity will never be felt to be cold charity by the unfortunates to whom they come as ministering angels, All the aid given is strictly confidential. ‘The officers eiected for 1897 are as fol- lows: Miss Anne Boyce, president; Mrs. George H.

Somé reminders of the | | contest have been filed in the oftice of the | | County Clerk in the form of sworn state- ments of receipts and expenditures of the so-called purity of election committees of the different political organizations. These statements make interesting read- | ing at this juncture. - The People's party committeemen | acknowleaged the receipt of $201960 and | show expenditures amounting t0'$2000 75. | The schedule of receipts shows that the | committee had a sliding scale for the | different candidates. For instance, Joseph Leggett and F. H. Dunne who | were indorsed for the office of Superior | Judge contributed §$120 each, while Robert | | Ferral gave $100 and W. G. Burke, nomi- nee for the same office, gave §80, J. A. Spinetti, candidate for FPolice Judge, furnished §90 for the campaign fund, but ‘Walter Gallagher, his companion on the ticket for the same office, satisfied the committee’s demands with $60. The nomi- nees for Justice of the Peace were also unequally taxed. SandsW. Forman be- | ing let off for $20, though W. T. Hess was | compeiled to put up §50. Supervisoria: | and Senatorial candidates were called on | for $36 and $14 40 each respectively. and no | favors were shown. Candidates for School Director and the Assembly ranged in their | contributions from $5 to $10. The statement of the Republican County l Committee is quite interesting, the con- tributions from various candidates differ- ing widely. The offerings are recorded as follows Charles L. Taylor $336, A. C. Widber $320, Johin Hant $290, ‘Bonestell $320,J. . Finn $320, Carroll Cook $170, George W. Elder £200, H. L. Joschimsen $200, C. A. Lowe 3200, 4= A" Camobeil $150, A, B.

Asher is allowed $400 for salary as secretary. For the pay of watchers employed to see that the votes were properly canvassed the sum of | $888 75 was allowed. The Democratic committee reports a belar.ce of $943 on hand, the receipts be- ing $4376 and the expenditures $4366 57. The candidates contributed as follows: James D. Phelan $180, William Broderick $240, James N. Block $240, William A. Asmus- | sen $240, William F. Ambrose $240, Harry T. Creswell 300, John C. Bunner $90, Frank H, Duune $240, Frank J.

The expenditures are composed of small items, it appearing that the com- mittee had no need of the services of an attorney, although that custom seems to have become a_tixture in the Republican party of this City. The greatest source of expense was for advertising, $1354 72 hav- ing gone for that purpose. From a news- aper standpoint this is a good argument in favor of the power of adverusing, as more than half of the nominees on this ticket were elected against ail the other tickets in the field, and this in a City that is considered safely Republican on National affairs and actually gave a majority for McKinley at the time so | $100; many Democratic municipal nominees | were sucessful, The items of expense are epitomized as | follows: Rent of halls, $408; bonfires, $211: music, $488 90; circulars, distributing, platforms, ., $423 60 advertising 1n dsily and weekly papers, $1354 72; printing, $377 80; station- £101 90; 'United States posiege and 5765 60; incidentals and services, 66 57. The report is sworn to. by ‘Richard 0'Connor, J. Saulman, James P. Sweeney and Frank P. Hughbes. Nothing was paid for watches in the voting-booths before or aiter the election. The United Labor party is solyent. Its receipts amounted to $31106 and the ex- penditures were only $30095. The treas- ury still holds $10 11, . The Citizen’s Non-partisan party proved itself to be considerable of a party, not- withstanding its name, which claimed non-partisanship. Its receipts amouniea to $3362 52 and its expenditures to $3195 40, leaving a balance of $167 12 {n the hands of the treasurer. The favorite sum for contribution seemed to be $10, the greater part of the fund being made of donations of that character. Candidates were gently dealt witn, the matter being entirely voluntary so far as their contributions were con- cerned. All members of the committee gave of their funds as well as their time to help the canse. Candidates for important municipal offices gave from $10 to $80 ac- cording to their inclination and ability, and some altogether failed to respond. The name of Frank J. Sullivan, brother- in-law of Mayor Phelan, appears three times, as he figures in the capacity of “angel’’ for the committee. His offerings are noted as follows: September 30, $100; October 14, $200; November4, $250. Mayor Phelan is credited with only §70. George K. Fitch was a liberal contributor to the fund. The Citizens’ Republican party in the Twenty-third Senatorial District secured $66 from John J. Tyrrell, all of which was expended for advertising. POLE-STREET LIGHTS. The Merchants’ Association Has Taken Charge of the Collection. The Polk-street Club has been relieved of the responsibility of collecting from the various storekeepers their monthly dues for the lighting fund. This additional burden to the executive committee has | been shouldered by the Merchants' Asso- ciation. A reduction per lamp from $3 to $2 25 er week was announced by Secretary ross at the meeting of the ciub on Tues- day night. This cut in the rates was the result of a protest from the club to the electric light company to the effect that other merchants who have followed the example of Polk street in illuminating their business blocks with electric lamps have been supplied at a less figure than was originally charged for similar service on Polk street. 1t was also urged that as that street was the pioneer in the electric light improvement, there was no justice in charging miore per lamp there than on any of the streets. The electric light com- pany accepted this view of the appeal, hence the reduction. President L. H. Kohn, on a motion made and carried, appointed the follow- ing members on a ‘‘street-appearance’’ commitiee: Joseph Elfelt (chairman), F. D. Worth, A. Silverman, G. McAvoy, C. E. Anderson, W. H. Schultheis, J. B. Barron, Dr. T. L. Mahoney, 8. Russell and Martin Hinck. The duties of this com- mittee will be to have general supervision of the appearance o: the street for repairs, cleanliness, ete. The following additional members were elected to the club: Dr. A. 8. Tuckler, 1133 Polk street; M. Edwards, carpenter, 1702 Sacramento street; W. H. Schultheis, teamster, 1701 Polk street; S. J. Wormser, wholesale grocer, 405 Market street; Mon- tell Taylor, attorney, Milis building, and F. Thomas, dyeing works, Pine and Polk streets. e Divorces Granted.

Professor 0. R. Gleason Charged - With Cruelty to Animals. BEWARE OF Do Not Allow FAKE CURES. Take Paine’s Gelery Compound if You Need a True Remedy. a Salesman to Palm Off Any Substitute. The Judge, After Listening to the Health Is Too Precious to Listen to the Evidence Pro and Ccn, Dis- misses the Case. The various methods of breaking in vicious horses were discussed in all their phases to an interested audience in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday afternoon, and opirions expert and otherwise were freely given. The occasion was hearing of the charge of cruelty to animals against Professor O. K. Gleason, alleged to have occurred at the People’'s Palace on the nignt of Janu- ary 5. Gleason was ariested by Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animsls at the time the performance was given. Secretary Hol- brook conducted the prosecution and At- torney T. P. Riordan appeared for the de- fendant. The main facts in regard to the way the big bay horse in question was treated by the professor and his assistants were not denied by the defense, although there was a difference of opinion as to whether the horse’s mouth was bleeding after the per- formance. The points at issue which the Judge in- sisted should only be taken into consider- ation were whether the horse was treated with unnecessary cruelty, and whether it was a viciousand dangerous animal. The Judge saxd he knew something about breaking 1n horses in Oregon, and he could not be swayed by the opinions of peuple who were not experts. The witnesses for the prosecution were | Officers W. T. Hooper and T. A. Holbrook, of the socie and Secretary Holbrook, who all testified that the horse was treated with unnecessary cruelty, and that it was not a vicious animal to all appearances. They also testified that it was bleeding at the mouth and was :horoughly exhausted and’ bathed in perspiration at the end of forty minutes’ driving in which the break- ing-in process was carried on. William Locke, the owner of the horse, was also a witness for the prosecution. He admitted that the borse was mean and would shy at anything. He had tried to break the horse, but it was too expensive, as it Kicked and broke everything it was harnessed to. It was nota safe horse for any inexperienced person to drive. Any- thing, bowever slight, that touched the horse on the hind legs made it Kick out viciously. Dr. W. F. Egan, Dr. Thrasher, Colonel Taylor, the ex-Supervisor, and W. W. Montague all testified that they were present on the nizht in question and saw no unnecessary cruelty in the perform- ance, and Dr. Thrasher said he saw no blood in the horse’s mouth. Colonel Tay- lor and W. W. Montague are menibers of the Society for Prevention to Animals, and the colonel said he had told Holbrook wten he made the arrest that he had committed a mistake. The colonel testi- fied he had broken all kinds of vicious horses on his ranch for the past twenty- five years. The defendant also testified in his own behalf, denying that there was any unnec- essary cruelty in his method o breaking in horses. The prosecution and defense had other witnesses to testify, butthe Judge thought he had heard enough evidence. He seid he always made it his duty to back up the efforts of the society. but after listening to all the facts and the testimony of the owner of the horse and such experienced men as Colonel Taylor and W. W. Monta- gue he did not think any unnecessary cruelty had been proven and he would dismiss the case. There was applause from some of the audience,which was in- stantly suppressed. THE O00PER PROPERTY. It Will Be Disposed Of According to the Will of Harriet. The will of the late Harriet Cooper, daughter of the late Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, has been filed for probate. It bequeaths Preaching The Wonderful Results From There is one direction, as Dr. George F. Shrady, America’s first surgeon, distinctly says, in which people seem to need en- lightenment at present more than they bave for many years past. “This is the rational appreciation of the danger of quackery and fake cures.” Dr. Shrady’s article in the New York ‘World of December 27 should be read by every man and womanwho is ever inclined to listen to the nonsensical, but too often p'ausible, ramblings of traders in patent medicines. Wuen Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M.D, LL.D., of Dartmouth college, after a long life of study in the most recent scientific inyestigation of disease, evolves the mar- velous formula of Paine’s celery compound —when aiter the closest possible obs2rv- ance by the best practitioners it is found that this greatest remedy of our genera- tion not only does all, but even accom- plishes more than the modest doctor—the giant among men that he has proved to be—more than he was willing at first to claim—when thousands of sufferers in every walk of life, sufferers from the ail- ments that come from overwork, deranged digestive orzans, impaired nervous sys- tems, too poor or too rich living, inatten- tion to hygieniclaws, have been absolutely restored to health by Paine’s celery com- pound after vainly trying every other pos- sible remedy and being dosed by well- of Quacks.

These trashy stuffs that you are asked to buy are made up of ingredients that should never be taken into a sick stomach. These ordinary nervines, tonics and sar- saparillas are no more to be compared with Paine’s celery compound than a glim- mering candle is to be compared with the | wonderful modern searchlight. If a person needs a true nerve tonic, a real blood purifier, a reliable diuretic, that will restore strength, renew vitality, reg- ulate the kidneys, liver and bowels, and make one well, let that person try his or her first bottle of Paine’s celery com- pound and mark the wonderful result!

The circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Cooper and her daughter are said to create the legal presumption that the former died first, both being found asphyxiated with gas in the same bed. The daughter being younger and stronger would naturally survive. The mother’s will was found to be invalid pecause of a defect, and Harriet would therefore suc- ceed to the estate. As Harriet’s will is in legal form the property left by the Coop- ers will be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the daughter’s will. The bequests of Mrs. Cooper to her personal {riends will undoubtedly be carried out by her relatives in accordance with her ex- pressed desires. Bt O e Court Fees Paid Under Protest.
