Farcwell Testimonial From Promi- nent Men of All Classes Irre- sp:ctive of Politics. The many friends of Judge Joseph Me- Kenna do not intend that the distin- guished gentleman so soon to be a mem ber of the President’s Cabinet shall depart for the scene of his new duties as quietly as his own modesty might lead him to desire. It has been determinea that he shall first be made the object of such a demon- stration as shall serve to show him some- thing at least of the high estimation in which be is 30 deservedly held by his fel- low-citizens here, and the satisfaction which they feel in the honors showered | upon him. The manner in which Judge McKenna shall be honored was decided yesterday afternoon at a meeting held in the maple room of the Palace Hotel. It was there decided to take the form of & compli- mentsry banquet to be given at the Pa ace Hotel Tuesday evening, the 23d, at which the newly sppointed Cabinet officer will be the guest of honor. 1n thus honoring Judge McKenna p tics cut no figure in the matter at all, sev- eral of the most enthusiastic supporters of the movement being of the Democratlc One and all realize that in the net President-elect McKinley had not only doue credit to his own judgment, while honoring & man in every way worthy of any distinction that could be tendered him, but had also conferred upon Cali- fornia, so long unrepresented in the ex- ecutive council chamber, a compliment which would, if possible, gain in point by a manifestation of the manner in which the peopie of the State appreciatea i That this appreciation could be shown in & social attention to one so univer-aily esteemed as is Judge McKenna among those who know him_best of course only made those interested embrace the oppor- tunity all the more readil At the meeting held yesterday afternoon the following leading citizens were pres- ent: Colonel J.

A meeting called by H. H. Sherwood for the purpose of forwarding the interests of Central California was held at the rooms of the San Francisco Board of Trade at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. It was held under the auspices of the State develop- ment committee, the principal purpose being the establishing and maintenance at Los Angeles during the next few months of a bureau of information con- cerning the climate, soil, transportation facilities, local accommodations and other matters of interest in Central and North- | ern California. Asa resuit of the dissemination of in- formation by this bureau it is expected that a largely increased amount of tourist immigration will come to the ceniral and northern parts of the State. It is believed that a very large number of personsfrom the Kast who eunter the State from the south are de- terred irom coming into the central part by a misunderstanding of the climate and other conditions here. Amony those vresent at the meeling were: Gencral R. H. Warfield, O. M. Brennan, G. W. Hooper, J. M, Chase, Mr. Friedlander, H. H. Sherwood, W. M. Bunker, D. M. Carman, £ J. Truman and G. P. Adams. E. K. Aisip from BSacra- mento attended. A number sent regrets that they could not attend, but siated they were in hearty accord with the pur- poses of the meeting. George P. Snell of the Hotel Vendome, San Jose, indorsed the movement, said that united, earnest, prompt action was imperative, and concluded: *‘‘We are en- tnusastically with you.” H. H. Sherwood presided and briefly stated the object of the conference. He said that Eastern people travel over a southern route, especially those coming to California auring the winter months. They labor under the delusion that the part of the State north of the Tebachapi mountain is colder than Sout.ern Cali- fornia, little dreaming that the mean temperature of £an Francisco is higher in winter and lower in summer than that of the chimate of Los Angeles. General Warfield said that he had seen a picture displayed in Los Angeles of a Santa Rosa hotel with icicles hanging irom the eaves the diameter of a man’s arm and” extending half-way to the ground. The icicles had been painted on an original picture and then reproduced by phoiography and widely distributed among visitors from the East. Other speakers quoted similar instances in which great injustice had been done to this part of the Siate and all agreed upon the ad visability of taking steps to counteract these false impressions by making the truth known to Eastern people coming into Los Angeles. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Sher- wood, Bunker, Warlield and Chrman, was appointed to wait upon the different or- ganizations, including the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants’ Ass ciation, Manufacturers’ and Producer: Association, Produce Exchange, the un versities and other organizations inter- ested 10 r quest their contributions to the 1und necessary to be promptly raised. Mr. Carman suggested that the proposed plan should be merely preliminary to a Baldwin, A, G. Booth, | | Claus Spreckels and C. N. Felton. persistent effort to be made in the East to attract pleasure-seekers ana home-seekers to Ceatral California. He stated that the communications received by the State developmeut committee indicated that the long-looked-for tima had come when concentrated action on the part of those most interested was possible and that a greater enthusiasm is being displayed by some of the most progressive counties than ever known before. The plan of procedure proposed was to send to Los Angeles a thoroughly in- formed man on the climate, produciions, atiractions, etc., of this section, to open a bureau of information. Mr. Bunker spoke of the need of prompt action to catch the tourist travel. Mr. Alsip gave the meeting the benefit of his years of experience in attracting immicration to Central California. He thought a committee representing the busizess community and organized bodies of San Francisco should waiton the Santa Fe officials and ask them to issue through tickets to San Francisco and to ask the Southern Pacific 1o allow stop-over privi- leges. He suggested the importance of co-operation of all the interior counties. ———————— THE STANFORD ESTATE. Plenty of Money Coming in to Pay Ex- penses and Legacies. Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford has filed in Judge Coffey’s court her third annual ac- count as executrix of the estate of her husband, the late Senator Leland Stan- ford. The cash received is $578.824 08 and the expenditures amount to §561,635 10, leay- ing a balance on hand of $17,188 9. One considerable item in the expendi- tures is the $10,000 allowed monthly for Mrs. Stanford. Large sums have also been paid out as legacies, it being the effort of the executrix to settle with the legatees as rapidly as possible. No change has been made in the source of reventie, and the ordinary outlays for keeping up the estate are about the same as last year. This account has nothing to do with the property held in trust for the benefit of the Stanford University, near Palo Alto. HER CHARGE IS CRUELTY Mrs. L. M. Ryer Sues Her Husband Christopher for Divorce. She Contends That He Threatened to Kill Her and in Other Ways Abused Her Trust. Louise M. Ryer has sued her husband, Christopher B. Ryer. for divorce on the ground of cruelty. Ryer compromised with the estate of Dr. Washington M. Ryer for a consider- | able sum of money, and this appears to have caused all the trouble, for since tuat time nis wife says he has abused her. Ryer is agent for some factories in this City. The wife’s grounds for a permanent separation are extreme cruelty extending over quite a period of their unhappy mar- ried life. She describes her husband as a man of an extremely bad temperament, who, without provocation, would abuse ber in public, as well as at home. For instarce, on December 20, 1896, the | wife alieges that while she and her hus- band were dining at the St. Germain res- taurant he reviled her in opprobrious terms, reminding her in a brutal way that it was none of her business what he did, and that “'ke wanted his girl fixed up, but that he did not care a — how the plaintiff looked.” Again, on December 25, 1596, at the home of his mother, 1010 Chester street, Oaxland, plaintiff allezes, ber husband became angry and, flving into a rage, swore at her and Ler mother and finally c.?used the former to return home at night alone. The complaint also recites a number of cruclties inflicted upon her at 18191, Bu- chanan street, this City. On December 29, the wife deciares, she was confined to ber bed by illness, but notwithstanding this fact her husband forcea her to get up and threatened to kill her if she moved from the chair in which she was compelled to sit. ‘When she appealed to him to allow her to return to her bed the wife says her husband struck her in the face. Again, on December 30, she declares that her husband came home drunk and, after siapping her face, drove her from the house. The wife al<o has good reason to recall last New Year's day, for on that occasion | she alleges that Ryer's ancer was again aroused, and he raised the deuce at home, abusing her, breaking up the weading presents she had received from her mother, destroying the household furni- ture and repeating his oft-time threat to kil her. Mrs. Ryer's grievances also extend to her husband’s relatives. On January 12, it is charged, thedaughter of Ryer by a former wife abused her in indecent terms and ex- pressed & wish that her stepmother would die. In conclusion Mrs. Ryer says that she bas been a faithiul wife to her husband and can endure his brutal treatment no longer. In her prayer for divorce she includes a request for §50 a month alimony and $250 counsel fees, which she says ber husband can well afford to pay from the revenues of his own property, of which she wants no share. She has property in her name, which she asks the court to decree as her own. mEe el REGULATIONS AND LAW. Board of Wealth May Have to Appoint a Pharmacist to Be Logal. Has the Board of Health caused one of its employes to incur danger of a penalty by the performance of an unlawful act? This is & topic which has been discussed by the Heaith and Police Commitiee of the Supervisors. The law in question is the pharmacy act, which provides that none but qualified and duly certified phar- macists, so entitled by the act of the Pharmacy Commission, shall put up pre- scriptions of drugs for medicinal use. Dr. Weill came before the Health and Police Committee yesterday in response to a summons. A bill had been presented tor subplies which indicated by its items that a consideradle drug supply is carried in the basement of the new City Hall, and that a general prescription business is conducted. Dr. Weill said that the regu- lations of the Board of Health provided for the filling of prescriptions by the steward. But when he was asked what legal power there was for this Dr. Weill could not say. He did not make the ar- rangement. Then the suggestion was thrown out that it would be necessary to appoint a pharmacist to falfill the law, ————— Serviaos Much Interested. The appointment of a Servian interpreter for the criminal courts by the Commission on Interpreters has once more stirred the blood of the two Servian factions. Mr. Glover, who has occupied the position for some time, was appointed again. The other candidate for the position was Mr. Becker, who formerly occu- Died the position of Spanish interpreter. Yes- terday inquiries were made at the Mayor's office for the Jist of signers upon the petition of Mr. Becker. The Mayor was busy else- where and the names were not furnished, There was some talk on the outside about forged signatures, but no definite allegations weromade. 0AkLAND, Feb. 12, 1897.—Mrs. Martha Thompson was removed yesierday from the vault in Mountain View Cemetery to her final rest by her beloved husband and accom- panied by & hostof friends and a delegation of the Balvation Army, of which he is & mem- Der. WESTMINSTER 1S ALMOST FINISHED Architectural Novelties to Be Used in the New Building, It Is of the Italian Style and Is Provided With All Modern Improvements, A Memorial Window to Monroe Green- wood to Be in Its Walls. The new Westminster Presbyterian Church, on Page and Webster streets, will be ready for occupancy in about six or seven weeks. Among the peculiarities of its archi- tecture is a pressed steel panel ceiling of handsome design, the first ever erected in | its track with bitumen on Folsom street from Sixth to Third. 2% The club recommended P. H. Cahili to Street Superintendent Ambrose as its in- spector over the Folsom-street pavement. The club will hold a special meeting at Beecker’s Hall,14 Third street, next Thurs- day evening. TO0 RIVAL THE POLICE. The Leiter-Carriers Form a Glee Club and Wil Give Concerts ¥rom Time to Time. Anumber of the letter-carriers of this City met last Monday evening for the pur- pose of proving to the public that they {have as good voices as the guardians of the City’s peace. And sccording to Pro- fessor John W. McKenzie the gray-coated lads will completely outclass the be-but- toned boys in biue. Concerts _will be given from time to time, and it is expected that the aundi- ences will be completely carried away with their work. Some of the voices, par- ticularly the tenors, are very good, and Mr. McKenzie hopes to make the glee club an organization the City may be proud of. They meet for their first re- hearsal next Monday at 524 Eddy street. Among those so far enrolled are J. Maher, T. B. Mahoney, C. Coolev, C. F. Dem: mick, P. J. Whelan, E. H. Griftin, N. C. Larigan, E. D. Long and J. McAuliffe. el THEY WISH TO RETIRE. Election Commissioners Ask the Legi: lature to Be Relieved From Office.

One of the windows in the main baild- ing will a memorial to Monroe Green- wood, a prominent elder of the churcn, who died soon after the new church was started. He was one of the principal sup- porters of the plan of a new church and he did a great deal to make the move pos- sible. At the time of his death he was president of the California Electrical Works. Charles Geddes, the architect, is also an elder in the church and the only living charter member. He designed the old church thirty years ago, saw it built, watched the old members drop out one by one from the congregation, and now he has all but completed a new church. Rev. C. C. Herriot will very probably be the pastor for next year. The cost of the church when finished will be about $30,000. NOW FOR THIAD STREET South Side Club Preparations for Illumination Per- fect. Arc Lamps Wil Glow Over the Entire Street From Market to Townsend. The property-owners and merchants on Third street, from Market to Townsend, will try to make that street surpass any of the recently illuminated thorough- fares in the City. Tue wires and arc lamps have been placed on the three blocks from Mission to Harrison street, and it was the inten- tion of some of the members of the club to have the current turned on to the wires to-morrow night; but this has been de- ferred until the entire street is in a posi- tion to join in the celebration. Property-owners bstween Market and Mission streets have been encouraged by the generosity of the merchants, who have subscribed the necessary amount to guar- antee the lighting of that section. This was done by the following named, some of wbom owu real estate on that block, having subscribed to the fund: Charles M. Shortridge, proprietor of THE CaLL; Walter Morosco, Mrs. C. C. Keene, F. Deiling,Michael Baeoquez, H. Boese & Witten- berg, Frank Woenne, A. Andenbieman, T. Healy, 1. Simon, John Stretheff, T. T. Wil- Uums (for Mrs. Hearsy, Peine Brox, George E.

President W. S. Hughcs has submitted his resignation as president to the club. This was ignored by Chairman Katcninski, who staied that Mr. Hughes was too val- uabie a man to lose. Attacoed 10 Mr. Hughes letter was a res- olution thanking the public press for its able assistance toward the club in its un- dertakings to improve Third street. The resolution was adopted by the club, with an additional vote of thanks to Charles M. Shortridge, proprietor of THE CALL for his liberal subscription to the 1und. Th- following committee was appoint- ed on celebration: C. A. Jonas, Aolph Hoffman, B. Jacobs, C. Attell, R. E. Cole, Julius Lemle, Leon Samuels and J. L. Euiott.

A Serious Charge Grows Out of the Rivalry of Two Small Con- cerns. Rivalry between two second - hand clothing-stores on Howard street, near Seventh, has been waxing bitter for a month past, and the disputes between the adherents of the adverse establish- ments culminated Thursday, when Law- rence Carney, the landlord of one of the stores, struck Mrsl Shapiro, the proprie- tress of the rival concern, with an ax- handle. A warrant for battery was at once sworn to by Mrs. SBhapiro’s daugh- ter, Mrs. Lena Marcus; but yesterday this charge seemed 100 light, and on her rep- resentations that her mother was at the point of death the charge was changea to assauit to commit murder. Carney rents the lower part of his tene- ment at 1080 Howord street to a man whom the Shapiros claim is trying to at- tract their customers. His iriends claim that a crowd of the Shapirosand their friends bad surrounded him and were preparing to assault him, when he struck out with a club in seil-defense. They say Mrs. Shapiro was not seriously injured. Carney was arrested and released on bail. =g LAND SCOHEME FRAUDS. An Effort to Put a Stop to Swindling Operators. On last Tuesday the Board of Trade ap- pointed a special committee to call upon the Governor relative to the land frauds practiced by land-scheme swindlers. The committee consists of W. H. Mills, J. A. Filcher, J. S. Emery, C. Sharp and E. Shields. An appointment has been made with Governor Budd for Monday after- noon. Itis hoped that the Governos will make this the matter of a special message to the Legisiature, and it is hoped thata special commission will be created, whose duty it will be to look into and investigate all land and colonization schemes, par- ticularly those ‘in which colonization of foreigners is concerned. ————— Lucky Ealdwin Sued Again. “Lucky” E.J.

Parted Her Hawsers and Went Into the Trough of the Sea on the Bar. Death of N. A. Ne'son, Who Was for Thirty Years Freight Cierk on the Sausalito Route. The ship Kennebec was in a peck of trouble last Sunday. While lying at Third-street whari some of the sailors re- fused to go to sea with the second officer. { They had sailed with him in the bark Martha Davis, and according to them his record was not good. There was a free fight aboard, and when the second mate drew his gun the men fled. As it was easier to get a second mate than half a dozen seamen, the captain compromised the matter by paying off Second Officer Hayes. The latter asserts that he has a claim for damages and will libel the ship when she returns to port. While crossing the bar the Kennebec was again in trouble. During a particu- larly beavy squall the hawser between the tug and the vessel parted. The Kennebec rolled gunwales under, and the captain at once began to get sail on her. Captain Harry Marshall was not behind time, however, andinside of twenty minutes he had a new bawser aboard the ship and bad herunder w. again. It was a re- markably smart piece of work in the cumstances on the part of the captain of the Alert. The following has been issued by the Lighthouse Board: Notice is hereby given that for the purpose of making mnecessary repairs the fog bell at Ediz Hook, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washing- ton, will not be in operatiou from the 15th of | Febrnary to about the 1st of March, 1897.

There seems to be two minds to each body, or two selves, one which runs the so-called automatic members, stomach, heart, bowels, etc., and the other which conducts the movements of the outer mem- bers, arms, etc. It is a curious psychological fact that when one is slightly ailing, a new line of thought will quickly affect the body favor- ably, and particularly if that mental trend run somewhat as follows: “I am not body.” “My real self 15 unseen and is mind or spirit, wnich 1s the same as life. Body being dead material cannot compizain to me except as I sensitize it and pérmit the complaints.”” If a person can bring him- self to thoroughly believe this withouta shadow of doubt, a most curious and heal- ing effect is quickly felt in the body. Many people have not a well enough trained mind to command just what it shall or shall not do, but where the mind is well in hand, so to speak, the result of such mental cxercise is marked and can- not be forgotten. ‘We write the above knowing that it will reach the eye of some honest searcher after some of the new laws which are Jately coming to be known to man, and to say that while on the subject of Lealthful living it shouid not be forgotten that good nourishing food and drink are necessary, and the unnatural habits are better left off than clung to. If the reader has trou- ble with coffee and has never used the food-drink, Postum Cereal, it will well re- pay the trial. There is but one genuine original Pos- tum Cereal coffce, with a multiitude of imitations offered as *just as good.” NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. RACINQ! RACING!
