o P 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1897. SAD STROGELE AGAINST WANT The Death of an Artist Reveals a Story Full of Pathos, Though Poor, His Pride Forbade His Asking Aid of His Friends. | | | | | Was at One Time Dean in the Uni- versity of Southern Oali- fornia. A touching story of a proud and deter- mined but unsuccessiul struggle against poverty comes from the local artists’ set- 1lement. It isthe sad history of Fortune de Conte, an artist highly educated, once patronized by New York’s aristocracy, | erstwhile dean of the art department of | the University of Southern California and for some six months past an earnest but | quiet worker in Graham’s artrooms, 220 Post street. Tuesday evening as he was about to Jeave his studio he was taken suddenly ill. He had been complaining of a headache, but no apprehension was felt by his co- workers in the artrooms. An ambulance was called and be was removed to the room where he and his family were living at the New Arlington, 1015 Market street. Later he was removed to St. Luke's Hos- pital, where be died early yesterday morn- ing, not having recovered consciousness after the first stroke. Among his fellow - workers the aead artist was very much esteemed, although not intimately known. He was dignified, gentlemanly and was busy at his work, and of his life outside the studio little was known. When upon learning of his death one of the artists in the studio FAVCRS CUBAR [NSURGENTS The Republican Joint Con- vention Adopts Reso- Intions. Delegates Selected to Attend the Detroit National Convention, An Effort to Be Made to Have the Gathering Next Year in This City. A Republican joint convention of dele- gates from the Fourth and Fifth Congres- sional districts met last night at Califor- nia Hall, 620 Bush street. The purposes of the convention, the call for which had been issued by a committee, consisting of E. M. Galvin, A. de la Torre Jr. and W. M. Watson, were, as stated in the call, ““to select eight delegates to the Detroit con- vention of the National Republican League; to take some measures to secure a visit from President McKinley if he comes West, as announced; to consider ways and means of better organization for *he campaign of 1888; and the discus- sion of such other businessas may be brought before the convention, including the indorsement of a candidate from Cali- fornia for president of the National League.” E. M. Galvin called the convention to order. A. de la Torre acted as secretary. A committee of five on permanent organ- ization reported as the permanent officers the following: President, E. M. Galvin; first vice-president, Colonel George Stone } second vice-president, Z. U. Dodge; third vice-president, Charles Manwaring; fourth vice-pres‘dent, R. R. Duckworth. Two committees of five members, one THE LATE PROFESSOR FORTUNE DE CONTE. called at his room it was found that he had been living in circumstances so straitened asto warrant the belief that his death had been due to insufficient nour- ishment. “I was very much surprised,” said one of the fellow artisis of the dead man, “to find out in what straitened stances Mr. de Conte had been. at the studio that he had a hard time get- | ting along; that he found it difficult and almost impossible to sell his piciures, but | we did not know how badly off he was | or, poor as we artists arein these hard times, we could have done something for | him. But he was too proud to let peovle | know his difficulties, and he was sncha perfect gentlemin ! The wife of the dead artist relatea a touching story of hardships suffered by her husband since his arrival in this Ciiy. Two children—sa boy, a bright lad of abont | 8, and a pretty little curly Laired girl of | about 3 — prattled innocentiy as the | mother told her sad tale. “Three years ago,” she said, “my hu band held the vposition of dean of ihe art department and professor of art in the University of Southern California, and also professor of art in the Froebel Insti- tute of Los Angeles. Difficulties arose in the university, resulting in the resigna- tion of the president, Dr. Widney, and | also in the severance of my busband’s | connection with the university. In fact, | the parties who caused Dr. Widney to re- | sign were also the ones who were respon. | sible for my husbaud’s dismissal. ““With that our troubles began. Six months ago we came to San Francisco, | but my husband found it almost impos bie to sell his pictures. He tried bard to get away, and at the time of his death he was painting an Indian pictare to send to Mexico, hoping to be able to move there | also. Several of his pictures have been on | exhibition at the_Hopkins Institute and in the studio on Post street, but he could not get purchasers for his vaintings. far as art is concerned this is cert; worst City we have ever been in. “My husband was descended of an old French family and was finely educated. At various times he had painted for Wil- liam Astor, Russell Sage and t peror of Brazil, and bad aiso illus Appleton’s and Frank Leslie’s. Among the degrees and hLonors he held wers Etudiant des Beaux Arts de Francais, | Dean of Art, M.A., member of the Society of Chicago Artists and of the Hopkins So- { ciety of Art of thus City.” The deceased was a man of about 50, | His funeral will be held at 2 o’clock next | Baturday from Halsted’s undertaking | variors, 946 Mission street, under the auspices of the local Aruists’ Association. | | ly the | THE Ban Francisco and North Pacific Rail- way will run a special excursion to Ukiah next Sanday, June 27, for which the charge will be only $2 for theround trip.

The matter of the new Postoffice work formed much of the subject for discussion. The ap- pointment of Civil Engineer Humphreys as Superintendent of Construction of the Federal | building was most favorably commented upon | by all. Several speeches were made in which Mr. Humphreys’ merits . were dwelt upon. In the new Superintendent the union men recog- nize one who compels the coptractors to live upto the plans and specifications snd their agreements. He is récognized as an advocate | of union workmen, good pay, good work and | eight hours for a day’s work. His appoint- ment was heartily indorsed. LITTLE PETES KILLING. Chun Woon Sing Test fied iu| His Own Behalf Yes- terday- All the Testimony Is in and Argu- ment by Counsel Will Beginy To-Day. Chun Woon Sing, charged with the murder of “‘Littie Pete,” took the witness- stand in his own behalf in Judge Carroll | Cook’s court yesterday. He testified that | be was in the room on Waverly place | where he was arrested from 7 o'clock un- | til the officers took nim into custody. | Ex-Judge J. D. Murphy, coansel for the defendant, made his examination very | snort. He drew from the defendant state- ments that he took no part in the killing, | did not know it was going to oceur, did not know the dead man, and did not go near the barber-shop in which he was as- ted until he was taken there by the arresting officers. Then Attorney J. N. E. Wilson, one of the special attorneys for the prosecution, wanted to know all about what the de- fendant bad been doing from 70o’ciock un- | t1l 9, or a little after, when the fatal shots were fired, and Judge Murphy objected on the ground that it was not proper cross- examinstion, since he had not asked any thing about those matters. Ex-Judge Robert Ferral, who is asso- ciated with Mr. Wilson, made an argu. ment on the point invoived, but the court held with Judge Murphy as to certain questions. Owing 1o this provision of t e law the attorneys for the prosecution were preciug from going into many details that they desired to ask about. After several witnesses had testified to the good reputation of the defendant, the testimony was declared ciosed. Judge Cook intimated that he would Iike to have the case go to the jury by to-morrow night, 3 he has promised to hotd court for Judge Angellotti 1n ban Kafael next Monday. t:n-‘u-ml will be commenced this morn- & | | vicinity. GOVERNOR BODD WILL PARADE Meeting of the Fourth of July Executive Commit- tee Last Night. The Literary Exercises Will Be Held in Metropolitan Temple. Over Three Hundred Dollars in Prizes Offered by the Regatta Committee. The executive board of the Fourth of July committee held an important session at their hesdquarters last night, with President Fletcher in the chair and all the menibers present. The literary committee reported that the programme had been arranged, with the exception of one or two numbers. If the Mechanics’ Pavilion is not secured they will be unable to avail themselves of the offer of the Christian Endeavor choir of 1000 voices. Mr. Robinson reported that the fire- works committes had been offered $200 by Mr. Vining to hold their exhibition at Alamo square, and the Chutes offered $800 if the display would be held in their The committes resolved to hold the display at Alamo square. The parade committee reported pre par- ations for the pageant well under way and that Governor Budd and his staff would turn out. The invitation committee offered a reso- lution to the effect that City officials wish- ine 1o parade and not desiring to walk must furnish conveyances st their own expense. This was carried. A communication was received from the Mechanics’ Institute siating that_they would charge $50 for the use of the Pavii- ion on the 5ih of July. The offer was re- | jected. The Christian Endeavor committee had entered into a verbal contract with the Indianapolis Furniture Company to place chairs in the building by July 3, but when informed that the i‘onnh of Ju.y com- mitiee woulu also use these seats, the committee refused to place them until the 6.b, as per previous written contract, un- less the Fourih of July committes would pay them $50 cash for their use. A resolution was then carried to the effect that the previous action of the com- mittee in authorizing the literary com- mittee to hold theexercises in Mechanics’ Pavilion be rescinded, and thatthe Metro- ruliun Temple be engaged at $20 tor the iterary programme. The following resoiution was then car- ried unanimousiy : Kesolved, That & vote of thanks be extended to the Christian Endeavor committee for their courtesy in extending the use of their para- phernalis and the chorus of 1000 voices, which we are compeiled to deciime with thanks on account ot the parsimouy of Mr. Page, president of the Indianapolis Furniture the directors of the Mechanics’ refusing to doaate the use of ghairs by the former and the Favilion by the atter.

Mrs. Weiner says that she was deserted by ber husband in New York about eignteen months ago, leaving her desti- tute and with a boy 4 vearsold to support. He came to this City and wrot- her a let- consent to get a divorce from him. She obtained emplovment and managed to save enough money to reach this City | on Saturday last. She notified the police, and rooms wers obtained for her at 2825 Bixteenth street, where her husband calied Wednesday. He raised a disturb- ance and threatened to kill her and him- self, she alleges. ‘Weiner is a manufacturer of boys’ cloth- ing, and has an office at 105 Sansome street. Weiner was arrested last evening by Detective Anthony and was released on $500 bonds accepted by Judge Campbell. ASSAULT 10 MURDER F. W. Haubrich Arrested on plaint of Mrs. M. d’Foine. Mrs. Marguerite d'Foine, much bat- tered and bruised, lies at her home, 5023 Larkin street. Dr..Thrasher, her phys:- cian, has been nursing her for a cut on the head she alleges was inflicted June 4 by one F. W. Haubrich, an intimate acquain- ta Com- ce. Yesterday at noon Judge Low was in- | duced to call on Mrs. d’Foine. He found her to be in a most nervous condition, | and fearful of further injuries atthe hands | of Haubrich, who, she said, had threat- | ened ner life. The Judge issued a warrant for Haub- s&eh'l arrest on a charge of assault to mar- er. Haubrich was arrested last night by | Policeman Sawyer, and as he could not | furnish $5000 bonds, ie was locked up for | the night. ———— Reduced Fares for Campers Between Howards and Moscow Cottage, a dis- tence of eight miles along the line of the N. P. C. R. R. (the Cazadero route), in the redwood of Sonoma County, there is a wild country that Attracts many campers every summer. Part of the land lies along Howard Creek and part slong the Russian River. Near Howards station (Occidental P. 0.) the vrop- erty is owned by M. C, Meeker, tue wealthy lumberman, while the upper tract belougs to the railroad company. Both owners give the prople free camping privileges, and the rail- Toad, in order to popularize the section, an- nounces a reduction in rates for campers o this locality, the price being put at$3 for the Tound trip, and tickets good 10 return until September 30. Camps were opened last week at Meeker's Grove, River Mesa Grande and Sheridans, with in of many more 1o locate soon. A special re- duced rute of $150 for the round trip has been arranged ior next Sunday to permit in- spection of the section. Tickets can be se- cured at tne Sausalito ferry.

Auxiliary Committees Soon to Be Organized in Many Other Cities, Naysmith's Design for the Statue Proper Most Favored—Enthu- siasm at Fever Heat. The celebration of the Queen’s jubilee in this City is now a thing of the past, and the thoughts of British subjects are turnea from Greek fie and other tnings pleasing to the senses to those of the mind—to sentiment. Specifically they go back and revolve round that great stellar propo- sition—the idea of a monument for Cale- donia’s bard, bonnie Bobbie Burns. Now the work will be taken up with re- newed vigor and great results may be ex- pected in the near future—results that point definitely to the consummation of one grand and landable desire, that a monument to the poet who best spoke for the common people shall be washed by the ozone of the Pacific. Already has the sum of $1000 been turned over by the Caledonian Club to John F. Kennedy, the chairman of the finance committee, who is aiso helping out in taking subscrip- tions. The general committee is now fully or- ganized, consisting of forty men of prom- inence in the different cilies round the bay, but principally from San Francisco. Colin M. Boyd has been elected president and Y. C. Lawson secretary. The general committee had its inception ina small committee from the Caledonian Club,with powers to add to its numbers, and the work has been done well. In the words of oae of the original number, they are men who ‘‘are able to see that the monument is built all right.” Another meeting is soon to be held, the first meeting of the general committes since it bas been perfected. At that time permanent organ.zation will be etfected and a standing_executive committee will be selccted. The principal tuing to be | considered, however, will be the adoption | of ways and means to raise iunds with which to buiid the monument. Many of the members h; talked the matter over in private, anud when the committee meets the metnod of procednre in this connection will have been protiy well decided on beforehand. There is no doubt that an attempt will be made to have committees formed in all the prin- cipal cities and towns of the State to enter upon the project harmoniously with the general central body. “'But by far the most important move taken will be to make the preliminary sieps neces-ary for ho ding a big festival | in this City some time 1n autumn, the en- tire proceeds of which w:ll go toward the erect:on of the monument. The inten- .tion is that it sha!l lasi a week, with a regular and extensive prosramme for each day. There will be Scotush games of strength and skill, banquets, literary ex- ercises and many other ieatures of inter Lhere is no doubt in the mind- of the individual members that this idea will be carried out to success and that a large sum will be raised by such an undertak- ing. Railroads wili be asked to give ex- cursions here during the festival at re- duced rates. Several designs for a monument have been received by the committee and all have been given due consideration. The design which seems to meet with the most favor for the statue proper is Naysmith's production, one of which is now at Kil- marnock and another at Ayr, Scotlsnd. Divorces Granted The following divorces were granted in tne Superior Court yesterday L. B. Emma Gaubatz irom George Gaubatz on the ground of desertion. Albertina Helmqutst from E. J.

TrDAY. ““If Eric is in ro- bust health, and has slept well, and is at the top of his con- dition at his depart. ure from Greenland, his ships will reach Newfoundland. But, take out Eric and put in a strong- er man — Biorm or Thorfin_and the ships with just as much ease will reach Labrador and New England.” Emerson was right. The stronger a man is the fuller his chest is, the sounder his heart and brain and lungs are, the further he will sail on the ocean, the higher he will sail in his balloon, and the deeper he will dive into the intricacies of his business or profes. sion. A man’s glory is his strength. The world has small use for weaklings, and, it must be said, sickly people have little nse for the world. But, sickness is generally an unnecessary evil. It is almost a_crime against nature to be ill.
