Seven women are still drawing pensions as the widows of men who saw active service in the War of the Revolution— women whose husbands served under Washington more than 120 years ago— { writes Clifford Howard in the February Ladies’ - Home Journal. The eldest of | these surviving widows of the Revolution is Living at Los Angeles, Cal. She is Mrs. Lovey Aldrich, now in the 98th year of ber age. Her husband was Private Caleb Aldrich, who was born in the year 1763, and served as a soldier boy in the New England campaigns of the war. Mrs. Naney Jones of Jonesboro, Tenn , | whose husband was Darling Jones, pri- vate in one of the North Carolina regi- ments, is the youngest of the revolutiona: widows, being now about 83 years of age. The other five are Nancy Cloud, who is liv- ing at Cbum, Va., and is the widow of Ser- geant Wiliiam Cloud of Captain Chris- tian’s Virginia line: Ksther 8. Damon of Piymouth Union, Vt, whose husband was Private Noah Damon of Mussachusetts; Mary Snead, living at Parksley, Va., | widow of Private Bowdoin Snead; Nancy A. Weawherman, who lives at Eik Mills, Ten and whose first husband was Robert Glascock, filer in one of tie Vir- ginia regiments, and Rebecca Mayo, Living at Newbern, Va., widow of Stephen Mayo, a soldier from Virginia. That these women can be the widows of revolution- ary soldiers is readily understood in view of the fact that their husbands were well onin years when they married. As, for example, when Esther Sumner married Noah Damon, in the year 1835—fifiy-two years after the close of the war—she was but 21, while he was 76. The last revolu- tionary widow pensioner who had mar- ried prior to the close of the war, and bad therefore actually lived during the revolu- tionary times, was Naucy Serena, widow of Daniel F. Bakeman. Bhe died about twenty-seven years ago, only a year or two after her hasband, who was the last of the revolutionary soldiers on the pen- sion roll. —_————— An enterprising Scotch minister in Mel- bourne has arrayed his male choristers in Hizhiand dress, whiie the ladies are at- tired in the costume of the “Lady of the Lake.” The hymns are sung to the strains of the bagpipe and the church is crowded. E.| PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE CHILDREN Each Public Park Will Have a Plat Dedicated to Them. A New Plan Adopted by the Street Committee of the Supervisors The Depot of the Park and Ocean Road Must Be Moved Within Ninety Days. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors has decided on a measure that will bea godsend to thousands of children who, in the narrow coufines of this big City, nave little or no place for recreation, and are prevented on ac- count of the expense of the trip from mak- ing frequent visits to the people’s play- ground—Golden Gate Park. In future each public park and square will have its children’s playground, where the little ones can tumble about in the grass at their pieasure, with no fear of the big blue-coated policeman or burly gar- dener, who now keep them ata distance from the enticing grean sward. Chairman Devany of the committee made a tour of the parks and squares on Tuesday and instructed the gardeners to set aside a plat in each one for the use of the children and not to interfere with the youngsters as long as they keep within their bounaaries. Then he instructed them to select some sheltered spot and have an area boarded in and filled with clean white sand, where the babies can play under the watcuful eyes of their nurses or attendants. Some of the gardeners demurred on the ground that the xrass would soon be so worn by the children’s feet as to ruin the sod. ~Then move them to another place and give the grass a chance,” answered Mr. Devany, and the gardeners had to be con- tent. It may be remarked that Mr. Dev- any is a man of famity and that he appre- ciates how much the children wiil wel- come this scheme to give them pleasure. The chairman reporied the maiter to the committee yesterday for its approval and all agreed that the plan was a good one. The committee took up and discussed the matter of widewing Stanyan' street and considered the reply of the Market- street Railroad Company to a recent in- quiry as to when the corporation would b- ready to move the depot and fences of the Park and Ocean road that now en- croach on the thoroughtare that it is pro- posed to improve. Itis the plan of the committee not only to widen Stanyan street, but to provide a new entrance to Golden Gate Park throueh the southeastern corner for the convenience of the people of the Mission district. It was decided to require the company to move the depot and femces within ninety days, and the following report was prepared for presentation to the board : Regarding the communication of the Mar. ketstroet Railrond Company, filed May 17, 1897, stating thata proposition {or the con: veri1ng of the present steam road of the Park and Ocean Raliroad Company into an_electric road is under consideration, which, if accom- | plished, will doubtless lead the directors to | co-operite in any feasible plan for the im- provement of that portion of Stanyan street covered by its stetion buildings, ete. 1 this matter, your commitiee would state, while desiring t0 accommodate the company as far as praciicable, the main question as to when the company would remove its station &ud buildings from the street has inadveri- ently remained unanswered. Your committee, therafore, reports in favor of requiring the Market-street Raiiroad Com- pany to remove the depot fences and build- ings within a period of ninety d The committee considered bids for gild- ing Lotta’s Fountain, and decided to rec- ommend that the contract be awarded to J. H. Keefe, whose b d was $24. tonders were S. & G. Gumy $475, Thomas Downing $350 and M. Stein $265. No advertisemenis are to be allowed on the fences that will surround the fountain while the work is under way, and the job must be finished within fifteen days to the satisfaction of the Mavor. It was decided to recommend that the Market-street Company be instructed to place gates for the safety of pedestrians and teams at the following crossings: Townsend and Eighth_streets, Harrison and Sixieenth, San Jose and Circular avenues, Ocean avenue and Southern Pacific Railroad crossing opposite the branch jais, San Jose and Plymouth avenues, Tenth and Branusn streets, Potrero avenue and Division street, Ninth, Utah end Division; Army and Guerrero, San Jose and Sickles avenues THE KIKG WAS CHOWNED. Anniversary Festivities of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein. Fine Display of Priz s at California Hall — Leading Marksmen Recognized. There was a festal array of talent and beanty at California Hall last night. Oc- casion of the assembly was the thirty- eighth anniversary of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein and the distribution of the prizes recently gained in open com- petition. A large space was reserved on the base- ment floor of the hall for a display oi the prizes, and the vast collection embraced articles of utility and ornament. Some of the prizes were costly and many were highly artistic.

He gained this royal prerogative for his luck or skill in shooting away the last plece of the gle. He secured, aside from the honors, a cash prize of $150 and a medal vaiued $50. At 10 o’clock last night he was duly escorted to the stage in the main hall dur- ing a pause 1n the dancing, and there in the presence of the vast assembly crowned king of all the marksmen. CHILDREN -POISONED. Rye Bread, in Consequence, Sent to the Board of Health to Be Analyzed. Four children of Abram Sugerman, 322 Thirteenth street, are supposed to have been poisoned by eating rye bread, and Professor Wenzell of the Board of Health wili make an analysis of the bread to as- certain whether it contained anything of a poisonous nature. Three of the children—a baby 19 months old, a boy 5 years old and a giri 10—ate a portion of the bread between 2 and 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and drank some milk. Almost immediately after the three children turned deataly sick and vomited and retched to such an extent that Mrs. Sugarman became alarmed and sent for Dr. Soboslay, the family physi- cian, He thought it was an attack of colic and prescribed accordingly. Wuen a little wirl 7 years of age returned from school she ate a portion of the bread, but drank no milk, and she svffered in the same way as the others, and the parents con- cluded th-re must have been something wrong with the bread and gave the re- maining portion of the loaf to Policeman M. Anderson, who, as instructed by Cap- tain Gillen, took it to the Board of Heaith yesterday morning for analysis, Sugerman refuses to give the name of the baker until he learns the result of the analysis. SOME QUEER BAIL BONDS Chief of Pol.c: Lees Reads a Lesson to the Poiice Judges. Warned to Be Careful of Bonds That R:present Property in San M iteo County. Chief of Police Lees extended an invi- tation to the Judgesaad prosecuting at- torneys of all the Police Courts to meet him in conference yesterday morning in regard to bail-bond matters and particu- larly in regard to the case of Mabel Keat- ing, the notorious pickpocket. Judges Joachimsen aud Conlan and Prosecuting Attorneys Graham and Ho- zan, also Clerk Foley of Conlan’s court, met the Chief. Juage Low is away on his vacation and Judge Campbell did not appear on ac- count of iliness. The recent order issued by the Chief to his officers on jail duty not to liberate any prisoner on an order from any Judge ex- cepting the one who committed him was discussed and the first opportunity will be taken to testits legality. When thiscomes the prisoner will be brought before the Superior Court on a writ of nabeas corpus and a decision obiained. The Chief cautioned the Judge in regard to accepting bail bonds where the prop- erty represented lay on the boundary line of Ban Mateo County, as there were any | num ber of bogus deeds to such lands on the market. At the suggestion of the Chief Judge Joachimsen issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Mabel Keating and Minnie Moran. These women were held on a charge of xagrancy a few days ago, and, as the Chief was unaware that a felony charge was pending against the Keating woman, he did not oppose the request of her aitorney to allow Lerto go on lier own recognizance, providing she leave the State. She failed to appear in court yes- terday morning, and the bench warrant was issued. The felony case still hangs over the woman, who first was allowed to go on paying $500 cash bail. Sue subsequentiy produced “siraw’’ bonds in the sum of $4000, and they were accepted by Police Jud.e Campbell. Judge Conlan, however, refused to ac- cept the bonds and Captain Lees nas in- structed Clerk Foley of Conlan’s court not to pay over the $500 cash bail. Iiisthis money that forms tue hone of contention now oetween Attorney Arthur Mack, the Keating woman's counsel, aad Olerk Kolev, who is threatened with a suit tor $10,000 damages. Auother suggestion made to the prose- cuung attorneys by the Chief was the ad- visabi'ity of carefully reading documents for cases appealed to the Superior Court. As a rule they are drawn by the atiorneys lor the defense, who wedge in a bug or two somewhere not in accordance with the record- of Lhe cases. ese arediscovered when the cases are heard on appeal and thrown out of court. *In my judgment,” said the Chief, “it should be the duty of the Police Court Prosecuting Attorneys to follow up to the Superior Court all cases sent there on ap- peal from their respective departments.” As an illustration of the ruses practiced by some of the alleged attorneys who im- pose upon the Jadges of the Poiice Courts, it was mentioned that in order to save the arrest of a notorious woman named Min- nie Moran, her legal representative de- clared that sne did not appear in court to be tried on the vagrancy charge because he had every reason to believe she had been drowned recently off the eud of Pow- ell-street wharf. A bench warrant, however, has been sued. THE OITY OEMETERY, idents of the Richmond District Ask for Its Kemoval. The citizens of the Richmond district held a mass-meeting last evening under R the auspices of tne Richmond District'| Improvement Association in Simonds’ Hall on California street and Fourth ave- nue. The attendance was large. The special object of the gathering was to dis. cuss and advocate the removal of the City Cemetery from that iocality. A number of enthusiastic spseches were made in which the speakers set forih facts to show that the presence ot the burial grounds in that locality was a hindrance to the further progress of the district and a menace to the health and safety of the people living in the vicinity of the ceme- tery. —————— Building Trades Council. At the meeting of the Building,Trades Coun- cil last evening the report of Labor Commis- sioner E L. Fitzgerald upon the labor situa- tion in the Sandwich Islands was read. A vote of confidence was given to Mr. Fitzgerald, who was spoken of as an unselfish worker in the interests of the wage-earners of this City and State. A resolution was passid condemn- ing the appointment of Oscar Lewis as super- intendent of the new Postoffice building, to be erected in this City. It was decided to re- uest the Pacific Coast representatives at vashington to do all in their power to prevent Mr. Lewis from getting the position. The op- position is based upon tue ground that he is an enemy of organized labor. ——————— Goodwin in “The Rivals.”” An sppreciative, if nota very large, audience greoted Nat Goodwin and his company last night at the Baldwin Theater in “The Rivals.” The character of “fighting” Bob Acres sults Goodwin Infinitely better than that of David Garrick. He kept the house amused when- ever he was on the stage last night, and payed the partat the same ime witn o light and whimsical touch which was tree from ex- aggeration. The rest of tho cast was good. 4 THE GOVERNOR TALKS TO LEES He Had a Busy Day In- vestigating the Dur- rant Case. A Witness Appears Who Saw Him Meet Minnie Williams at the Ferry. Another Que:r Story, This Time From a Man in Montevideo, Colorado. Governor-Budd had anothber busy day in San Francisco yesterday, going over the testimony in the Durrant case and listening to Eugene Deuprey, District Attorney Barnes, Chief of Police Lees and the woman, Mrs. Schwaitzer, who asserts that she saw Minnie Williams ana Rev. J. George Gibson together on the Alameda boat the day before the girl's lifeless body was found in the Emmanuel Church. ‘The Governor last night said that this woman adhered to her story with great persistency. When the Governor was asked when he would probably conclude his investigation of the Durrant case he said he though he would finish early next week, perhaps Tuesday. He remarked that he would go to Sac- ramento to-day, where much of the evi- dence was filed, and there make a study of the case. Next Tuesday he would probably return to San Francisco, and on | | Thursday he noped to be abie to decide | i the matter. “Will you grant Durrant a hearing— | that is, grant him & personal interview ?” | inquired the reporter. i I think it is very doubtful,” replied the Governor. “His statement can be | presented in writing.” In regard to Mrs. Durrant, the Governor said he had not talked with her and prob- abiy would not. He said he had heard | everything that Durrants counsel, Deu- prey and Dickinson, had submitted. | During the hour between 5 and 6 o’clock | last evening the Governor was with Chief Lees. Mrs. Schwaitzer's story was dis- | cussed. The Governor again referred to | the positive assertion of the woman that | she saw the pastor and Minnie Williams | on the boat at the time mentioned in her story. ered the Minnie Williams case insome of its bearings on the Blanche Lamont case. Budd holds it to be his duty as chief executive to make an investization of tuis character when an apphcation is duly made for him to examine the testimony. Under the law, he can pardon, grant a respite or commute & sentence. He de- clined to foreshadow his decision in the | i case now pending. During bis term of coffice he has com- muled a sentence and in one instance granted a respite, but the sentence of deaih was executed afier the respite, The death sentence has been -xecuted twelve or fifteen times since the Governor came into office. Chief Lees is now in possession of an- other strong link which he claims will greatly aid in fasten’ng the crime of Min- nie Williams' murder on Theodore Dur- rant. This came to him as the resuit of the publication of the “xold brick’’ yarn of Gibson being seen on the Alameda ferry- boat with Minnie Williams on April 12, 1895. A friend of Mrs. Eliza Witlee read the story and called on the Chief to inform him that Mrs. Witiee could give some im- portant testimony relative to the last trip of Miss Williams across the bay. She gave Chief Lees a rough statement of what Mrs. Witlee had told her, and the Chief was 8o much impressed with it that he asked his informaut to find Mrs. Witlee and send her to his office. His visitor promised to do 30 and to-day appeared be- lore the Chief with Mrs. Witlees, who told snort but most interesting tale. he murdered girl was welli known to Mrs. Witlee. On April 12, 1895, Mrs. Wit~ tee took the narrow-gauge train at High street, Alameda, to come to this City. At Park street Miss Williams boarded the train and sat near Mrs. Witlee. On the boat Miss Williams was also in sight of Mrs. Witlee during the entire trip. Mrs. Witlee is positive no one was with her young friend during the eniire trip. But she goes further, and is equally posi- tive in stating that when Minnie left the boat she was me¥ by Theodore Durrant and that the couple went off tozether. She adamits she did not know Durrant at the time, but recognized him some months aiter as being the man whu met the young gitl ot the ferry landing on Good Friday in 1895, It was in September of the same year that her business of selling fruit cailed her to the Prescott House at the corner of Pacific and Kearny streets. Here she saw alarge and excited crowd on their way toward the County Jail. Sheinquired the cause of the excitement, and learned tnat Durrant was on bis way in the prizon van to the Connty Jail. She went to the jail, and the second man who got out she at once recognized as the man who met Min- nie Williams at the ferry landing on April 12, 1895. It was at this time that she learned the man’s name was Durrant. Shortly after this she imparted her in- formation to As-istant District Attorney Peixotto, who made a note of it for future use, should the Minnie Williams case ever come to trial. e SO T A SILVER BRICK. Colorado Furnishés a Mate to the Gold Brick of Mrs. Schwaitzer. Another fairy tale concerning the Dur- rant case comes from the pink cliffs of Colorado. There is languishing in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home 1n Montevideo, in that State, a man who says he is an old ’49er of California, and that his name is Cap- tain W. H. Bryan. He recently wrote to a well-known lady of this City ioforming her that he wit- nessed the murder of Blanche Lamont, and that if transportation were furnished him he would come to San Francisco and testify to that fact. He' charged the lady not to speak to any one concerning the communication and warned her particularly against law- yers and the police. He invited her to Viedt him at the Soldiers’ Home in Monte- video and convince herself as to the truth of his statement, but more than once n- timated in his communication that he would be well pleased to come here and testify provided he were furnished with transportation to this coast. Tt was reported last night that he was about to come and that he would testiiy that he had seen a very prominent mem- ber of Emmanuel Baptist. Church (not Durrant) carrying the body of Blanche Lamont up to the beliry. This precious addition to the Durrant literature has been telegraphed to the New York dailies, and will doubtless ap- pear, “‘with all the thrilling details,” in the columns of the esteemed but very gutlible*Examiner.

Bovee, Toy & toant.g Hand'ed the Business—Another Big Sale. One of the most important real estate sales in this City for some time past was consummated yesterday :hrough the real estate firm of Bovee, Toy & Sonntag. The old Pacific Bank property on the north- west corner of Pine and Sansome streets was purchased by the Royal Insurance Company of Liverpool from the Conti- nental Insurance Company of Chicago. The purchase price was $145,000. The sale has been in the air for over a year, but not until yesterday did all part'es ar- rive at an agreement. Rolla V. Watt, manager jor the purchasing party, stated that the Royal and the Queen insurance companies will probably move into the new quarters very soon unless itisde- cided 10 tear down the old buiiding and pat up a modern structure. The proverty is about as valuable asany in that part of the City. The site 1s 35:6x87:6 feet, and upon it is a three-story brick structure, with a basement contain- ing fire and burglar proof vaults. If the purchaser doesmot decide to build at once | it will occupy the basement, first and a part of the second stories. The remainder will be rented for offices. However, it is only a matter of a year or two before a The property has a history. For years it was used by the bank, but in 1895 it was sold to the People’s Home k in the settlement between tne two institutions for $219,000. In February, 1896, the Peo- ple’s Home sold the property ior $130,000 to the Continental 1nsurance Company, it being the intention of this company to estaplish its general office there. Since then a number of improvements nave been made ther-on. These and the in- crease in Teal estate values in that locall accounts for the increase of $15,000 over the former purchase price. Baldwin & Hammond, the real estate agents, yesierday sold at auction the property on the southwest corner of Pow- ell and Ellis streets. The property, which is particularly valuable for business jur- poses, was knocked down to William Haas of Haas Bros. tor $142,000. John E. Auzerais of San Jose, executor of the es- | tate of E. Auzerais, ordered thesale. The attendance was large, and the bidders went into the contest for the possession of the block with much spirit. The prin- cipal struggie was between Mr. Haas and J. D. Sullivan, who represented Mayor James D. P elan. Mr. Sullivan siarted witn a bid of $100.000, and tbe offers were increased in $10,000 bids until nearly the end. L The property in ‘question consists of a corner lot, 48x75 feet in size, and upon it is a fine five-story modern brick building. J. R. Patton, the attorney representing Mr. Auzerais, states that the latter had a standing offer of $150,000 for the prop- erty, and in his opinion the sale will not be confirmed by the executor. —————————— Shooting and Fighting.
