Letters commending the patriotic move- ment come in every day’s mail to W. W. Stone, president of the Lincoin Monu- ment League. The responsive messages suggest that it is eminently proper that a monument to vhe memory of the martyr should be reared in Golden Gate Park as a Jesson to incoming visitors fiom other countries. Among the letters recently received, and published nerewith, is one from President McKinley, another from United States Senator George C. Perkins, and one from Representative James G. Maguire. Men authorized to speak for influential organizations of colored people promise 10 do all that they can do in aid of the | patriotic enterprise. What is most gratifyi g of all to the| promoters of the Monument Leacue is the | favor bestowed by the class which Mr. Lincoln was pleased to designate the ‘common peovle, whom the love for he created so many of them.” Lord must | ihis to the Lincoln monnment fund.” extending to the monu widespread and of the schem:e is Whatever may other Presidents achievements of great military leaders may be extolled, the plain simple fact is| that Lincoln is the ideal Ameri- coln literatur- is souszht, Lincoln nor is solicited, and Lir.coln anecdotes are enjoyed.

But no, it was only the far-famed annual high jinks of the Commercial Travelers’ Asso- ciation.

It was & “jinks” that henceforth will go into history as the criterion of the organ- ization, to which all succeeding ones must conform to be regarded as in the swim.

The Olympic Club Wheelmen met last evening at the club and it was expected that they would take some action regard- ing a return race with the Bay Uity cy- clists, but nothing ‘was accomplished at the meeting. The officers went into_executive session after the meeting adjourned, and the question of another race was discussed, but no action was taken. Some were in iavor of a race, while others opposed it. Those who are in a position to speak on the matter said that they did no:i expect to see a return conte POLICE RIFLE SHOTS. Result of the Monthly Competition for the siebe Medal.

WHERE 1S MRS, DIMOND'S *ANGEL"2 The Lady of Theatrical Aspirations Is in Lagal Ditficulties. Sued on a Note Executed in Honolulu Shortly Before She Left. She Promised 10 Pay $250 Within Sixty Days at Any Bank in Sin Francisco. Mrs. Carey Higley Dimond, the Hono- | lulu divorcee who caused such a flurry in Hawaiian society by leaving her home to | become a theatrical star, and afterward returning to fight the suit for a separation brought by her husband when he found that she had taken a manager with her, bas experienced her first taste of the troubles that usually beset those who fol- low a theatrical life. She has been sued. Shortly before she left Honolulu—to be precise, on February 10 last—Mrs. Dimond found herself in need of ready cash. She had many friends in the island: and to one of these, Avurd J. Moore, she applied for financial assistance, expecting, of course, that engagements on the local stages of San Francisco would be plent i- ful and that she would experience mno difficulty in paying any debt that she might contract. Even high interest did not deter her from going into debt. To cover the amount of her obligation to Mr. Avard she executed the following promis- sory note and turned it over to her friend: $250. HOX0LULY, H. I, Feb. 10, 1897. Two months after date Ipromise io pay to the order of Avard J. #vore the sum of $250 at any bank in San Francisco, Cal, U. S. A., in goid coin, for value received, with interest at 12 per cent per annum. CAREY HIGLEY DIMOND. Sixty days passed and the note was not taken up. Mr. Avard seemed to be anxious about the matter, for his agents had or- ders to collect promptly, and though the phrase, “any bank in San Francisco, Cal., U. S, A.,” was rather vague they workea diligently to secure their commission. Three days passed without the money peing forthcoming, and then they decided on drastic measures. J. J. Rauer was called upon to get the mo: through the couris, and a compiaint setting forth the facts, with the note as an exhibit, was filed in the Justice counrt. Mrs. Dimond’s effects will be attached to secure the plamtiff, and Mr. Avard’s claim will be aired 1n the courts, with per- haps some interesting side lights on the divorce case, unless Mrs. Dimond sottles the maiter by taking up the note. Impatient Landlord Irvine. James Irvine has sued William- Wolft for $900 alleged to be due on account of rent for tue premises known as 1346 and 1348 Markot streei, in this City, from the 1st day of March to the 1st day of May, 1897. The time has not yet expired, but the landlord declines to wait any longer. ———— THEY make a specialty of Bank Stock paper: 1t haus the wa ter-mark, Mysell-Rollins, 22 Clay* M, CHARLEY 1§ A LEGAL TANGLE Difficulties of the French Opera Company Im- presario. —— Narrowly Escapes an Order of | Arrest and Several Attachments. Wanted to Take His Singers to Mexico and They R:iused—Gave a Bant to Cover Lcsses. M. Charley, manager and impresario of the French Opera Company that just fin- ished a season in this City, departed yes- terday in & merry whirl of French pro- fanity and legal entanglements that will not be sectled until he returns. Orders of arrest, attachments, garnish- ments and cash bonds were as plentiful as cherries in the season, and M. Charley had the worst of the argument. It all arose, according to the members of the company who made life a legal burden to the leader of the troupe, through Cbarley’s way of doing business. They say that they were employed for a season that was to end in San Francisco. and that their contracts read to that effact. When the engagement was about to and the impresario announced that he had dated the company for a trip to Mexico, and asked the singersto g0 with him to the City of Mexico for a five days’ season. Some of the members of the troupe were willing to go, but others held back and staied that they wanted to go home. They called M. Charley’s attention to the fact that their contracts cailed for ex- vpenses and raiiroad fare to their starting points and demanded the fulfiliment ot the contracts. Then the impresario resorted to strata- gem. He held back a week's salary on all of those who were not of his way of think- ing and refused to come up With the ticket and expenses for their home jour- ney. He dilatea on the pleasures and profits of a journey to the Mexican capi- tal and jollied the objecting singers along until the day before ths troupe was to depart, Then the singers became desperate and decided on extreme measures. They took out an order for the arrest of M. Charley, charging that he was about to leave the State to defraud his creditors, sued out attachments against the paraphernalia of the company and prepared to battie for their rights in the courts. Prevost, the leading tenor, put a claim of $580 in ‘the hands of J. J. Rauer, ana Deputy Sheriff Byington was speedily on the trail of the manager. Four members of the troupe, Gaston Morales, A. Destor, C. Roche and Mlle. Jennesse pooled issues and sued for $263, and a writor attachment followed hot on the trail of the Prevost claim. M. Charley, probably by accident dodged the order of arrest by taking a different route than the one first intended, and went across the bay while the Deput; Sheriff was awaiting him at Third an Townsend streets. Before the train left, however, he was overhauled, and believing that his bag- | | zage would be stopped before he could get | | out of the State consented to give a cash | bond covering the claims, pendinga set- | tlement. When the train pulled out the company was shori a tenor and four minor singers, | and M. Charley was storming up and | down the car, swearing fluently and ex- | pressing his disgust in strong terms. | Later in the day Attorney Ruef and the | French Bank were served with garnish- | ments to cover any money beiongin to | M.
