' A LIVING GRAVE Another Little Chinese Vic- tim of the Chamber of Tranquillity. She Had Consumption, and for Two Days Languished in the Death Vault. stian Workers Organize a Rescue Party to Scour Darkest Chri Chinatown, The article in yesterday’s issue of THE Carw about the little slavegirl who was rescued from one of the Chinatown *‘champers of tranquillity,” has brought to lizht another story of the same sort, with the exceotion that the ending was a tragedy, and the little victim was left to perish in her living erave. The child’s name could not be discovered, but the story is vouched for by good authority. In personal appearance the child was a rather extraordinary one. Although of Chinese parentage, she was the possessor of Titian red hair, and was as fair as many white children. Her features, however, were of the Chinese type. It seems that some time ago a little girl in Chinatown caught a severe cold, which resuited in quick consumption. After the native doctors had done her all the harm they could, it was finally resolved on to callin a white doctor. He pronounced her incurable, and said that it wouid be but a question of time before the little one would die. Miss Lake of the Chinese mission beard of the case and at once started out with her interpetress, intend- ing to carry all the sunshine possible into the little life so soon to be ended. She saw the child and told her of the Savior who said, *‘Suffer little children to come unto me.”’ This little one listened eagerly to the old story, and plaintively asked her teacher to come again. This she dia and had a long, pleasant chat with the child. In a day or two Miss Lake took & short vacation, and when she came back she hastened with her arm fuil of flowers to the home of the sufferer, only to be met with the news that in her absence the child had died and been taken to the un- dertakers. This shocked Miss Lake ter- ribly, but there was nothing to be done, so she sadly wended her way homeward. learned the revolting truth. That child had been literally buried alive in one of those filthy dens! The chiid had become so very ill that the mother became frightened, for the Chinese think it 1s a terrible thing for any one to die in the house, and so the poor, helpless thing had_been ‘“taken to the undertakers’’ and slowly starved to death. She lived two days after her im- prisonment, Little Kwan Ho, whose case was given at full length yesterday, 13 resting a little easier. The terrible shock her nerves re- ceived during her imprisonment in the house of the dead has left her terribiy weak. In spite of this, however, her wan, pale little face has taken on a happier look than it has known for many a weary day. She seems to fully realize that she is at iast among friends. The ladies of the board will apply at once for letters of guardianship. Miss Lake in speaking of the subject said: “Of course there is no fear that any one will claim her now, at least not while she is in her present helpless state. But if she were to recover, why there wouid be no end of the Chinese that wouid claim her. Oh, dear; it seems as though 1t is impossible to do all that is to be done among these wretched people. There is so much to do and so little to do it with. At any rate I do think that these ‘cham- bers of tranquillity’ should be closed np by the authorities.”” ——— TRYING TO SAVE SLAVES. An Unsuccessful Attempt at a Rescue Last Night. The workers bave of Jate been particularly active in their endeavors to rescue the Chinese slavegirls from their bard lives, and have been only moaerately successful. The ten attempts. ton-streec Methodist mission made an un- successful effort to get one of the girls out of the den in whicn she is kept prisoner. The girl bad sent word to the mission that she desired to get away, and by means of a Chinese go-between a system of signals wasarranged whereby the res- cuers might know the girl and she know them. When the rescuing party entered the alley in which the girl is kept some of the numerous loiterers about the place got wind of their intentions and the inmates of the house were given the alarm and they barred the door to the giri’s room. Miss Lone rushed right into the house, but was too late to get the girl, though she was seen through a window. The greatest aifficulty in rescuing girls comes from the fact that they are so timid about attempling escape from fear of the frightful abuseto which they would be subjected in case theattempt should prove fruitless. ORIOKET AT GOLDEN GATE. The Pacifics Are Easily Vanquished by the Bohemian Team. Captain W. Robertson made his final appearance on local cricket fields yester- day, playing for his club, the Bohemian, against the Pacifics. He covered himself with glory, too, leading his men to a vic- tory by 6 wickets, scoring 73 not out and capturing 6 wickets for 24 rans. His side went out first and made 205 for 4 wickets, Sloman and Price foilowing their chief’s example in the matter of scoring. The innings being called the, Pacifics lined up, and, it being late in the day, al- most made a draw of it. Indeed, but for an unfortunate decision which dismissed Myers before his time they would atmost certainly have done so.

An umpire’s life is not one bed of roses, nor does he tread a path strewn with flowers and crowned with content. This was plainly evident in yesterday’s game between the Bushnell Alerts and the Union Iron Works, as Umpire “Tip” 0’'Neil suffered untold agony for two hours by having his decisions jeered at by both teams and their hundreds of sympa- thizers. He should have been treated with greater consideration as, owing to the absence of Charley Gagus, the whole game devolved on his shoulders. Central Park was well filled when game was called. The Union Iron Works were first at bat, and Sandeman led off with a hit to short and was thrown out at first. Pete Sweeney, of old California League fame, followed with a swift grounder to third, and was safe on Brock’s error. “Blockers’’ Hanley stepped to the plate and received an ovation from his old-time friends, and he did not disappoint them, as he ripped out a three-bagger oyer the fielder's head, Sweeney scoring. Pyne flew out to Moskiman, who threw home in time to catch Hanley. The Alerts manased to even up things in their inning. Schmeer hit to third and was safe on Sweeney’s error, and then stole second, O'Kanesingled and Schmeer went to third. Hammond bunted to Pyne, who threw home and Schmeer was put out. Moskiman flew out and Croll was given a base on balls. With three men on bases, McKee hit a swift grounder to Pyne, and on the latter’s error 0’Kane came home. Brockhoff ended the inning by hitting to pitcher. The Iron Works' team added another run_in the next inning and did not score until the fourth, when Pyne went outon afly and F. Dalmas was given his life on balls. Zan flew out to center and nim- ble-footed ‘‘Blockers” tock itin. Kronck hit to pitcher and reached first on McKee’s famble. F. Dalmas bunted to Schmeer, who became rattled and, instead of throw- ing to third to head Dalmas off, threw low to firstand Dalmas came home on the misplay. Hammond threw to secoud to catch P. Dalmas and the runner was caught in a clinch. Kronck made a feint of coming home, when Goldsworthy threw wild to the plate and Kronck scored. The Aleris lessened their opponents’ lead 1n the same inning. McKee was safe ona single and went to second on Brockhoff’s base on balls. Whalen got rat- tled and Jacobsen was also given a life, filling the bags. Goldsworthy sent a grounder to Pyne, who became bewildere: and held the ball, and McKee scored. Brockhoff came home a minute later on a wild pitch. Schmeer went cut on a_high fly to center, O’Kane flew out to the same place. and Hanley despite his glass arm threw the ball home and Jacobsen was put out. The Union Iron Works scored three more runs in the next two innings, giving them a lead that the Alerts could not overcome. “Blocikers” Hanley was the shining star 1n yesterdayv’s game. He had a three-base hit, five assists and two double plays to his credit—a record that any player would be proud of. The Alerts put up their usual brilliant fielding game, but lost through inability to connect with Whalen’s shoots. The score i3 as follows: R BH SB Po.

Wil- liams, accompanied by a demure-looking widow, applied to police headquarters last night for a “marrying” Judge. In answer to queries put to him by Poiice Officer Green, who was at the desk in the Chief’s office, the man said he was going to Jows to-day, and, inesmuch as he had his bride with nim, he wanted to get spliced rightaway. He pulled the marriage license out of his pocket, which showed that the name of the widow was Ellen Irwine. Her lse was given as forty years, while her intended was five years her senfor. Clerk Green referred the happy cuu?le to Rev. Mr. Fuendeling’s residence, where it is sup- posed the knot was legally tied. Traffie Delayed.

Michael Fitzgerald’s Anguish Touch{ng for the Layman to Witness. Yung Chin’s Murderous Assault on a Countryman—Arrival of the Martha W. Tuft, Tommy Haydon and James Black, of the Merchants’ Exchange, went out ina rowboat Saturday evening to the steamer Point Arena to see why she had put back into port. ‘They found that it was because a piece of her wmachinery bad been broken, but they nearly lost their lives while ob- tainicg the information. Their boat got under the lower guard along the steamer’s side and was instantly overturned. Haydon clung to the keel of the boat and was picked up by James Carlson of the pilot-boat Bonita; but Black was not so fortunate. As the boat overturned he jumped and grabbea one ot the guardsof the Point Arena and clung there. His position was a most dangerous one, for the hold he had was slippery with the spray, and the steamer heaved in a way that made him grit his teeth to hold on. A rope was low- ered to him, but he was afraid to letgo with one hand to catch hold of it. If he had missea his hold the consequences would have been disastrous, for he would have been borne under the steamer and ground in bits by her propeller. A bpoat was lowered and two seamen held nim under the armpits, while he grasped a rope. The aid came in the nick of time, as he could not have held on much longer. He was taken aboard the steamer and later went ashore. When Haydon came in without his comrade M. J. Fitzgerald, the Merchants' Exchange marine reporter, wbo is a ciose iriend of Black, lost his head completely and-: rushed up and down the wharf, excitedly yelling, “Where’s Black? Where's Black?’ As a crowd was beginning to collect in response to his yells he ran into the arms of that worthy for whom hi fears were excited, and though Black was dripping wet they proceeded to embrace each other in the most approved Biblical fashion. *“‘All's well that ends well. A Chinaman named Yung Chin was ar- rested yesterday by Officer P. A. Mahoney | of the Harbor Police Station &nd booked at that station on the charge of assaunlt to murder. He struck anothar Chinese named Young Jim over the head with an irom bar in a washhouse on Steuart street, near Howard. He says that Jim was beat- ing his nephew, and struck him because he expostulated, whereupon the sivel bar was brought into service. Jim sustained three severe cuts on the head, and was taken to the Branch Keceiv- ing Hospital on East street. His tale is incoherent, but he claims to be a friend of the Governor of the State and swears that he will induce him to put his assailant in the penitentiary for no less a time than forty-five years. Jim'sinjuries may result fatally. Owing to the roughness of the water the Dolphin regatta, the second of the series of contests for the club medal, failed to materialize yesterday and will probably be consummated next Sunday. The schooner Martha W. Tuft came in yesterday from San Blas with a cargo of cedar and other woods. Several days ago an English ship came in and reported thata schooner or other vessel of that description had been passed about 500 miles south of this port lying keel up. It was fearea that it was the | Martha W. Tait and many are happy to learn that the supposition was not founded on fact. The schooner was delayed owing Lo calms. All the prizes for the winners of the Whitehall boat races on the Fourth have been given into the charge of the winners.

Raymond Walsh, the talented little vocalist, avho created quite a furor at the Orpheum by taking & position in the gallery and singing the refrains of popular songs when rendered by the artists on the stage, had to submit last Wednesaay to an operation for appendicitis. The little fellow was taken sick while on a visit to Vallejo, and when he returned to his home in this City was found tobe in an ex- ceedingly precarious condition. The attend- ing phdy-icun decided to open and drain the apoendix vermiform, and as the boy is conva- lescent the result proves the wisdom of the course taken, | trying to evangelize them. T0 EVANGELLZE THE NASSES Aftermath of the Christian Endeavor Conven- tion, {How an Ass Was Ridden in Chicago to Draw People to Church, Various Plans Suggested for Starting and Carrying On the Work in This City. An evangelistic mass-meeting was held in Scottish Hall, Larkin street, yesterday afternoon to hear an adéress by Dr. Mor- gan of Alameda ou “The Evangelists’ ‘Work Demanded for '97.” It could scarcely be called a8 mass-meet- ing, as only twenty persons were present, the sexes being about evenly divided. The poor attendance was accounted for by the fact that the meeting had not been sufti- ciently advertised. Dr. Morgan delivered an eloquent ad- dress, in which he referred to the great good done to’ the cause of Christ by the Christian Endeavor convention and the impetus given to the good work by the presence of so many earnest Christian workers. He spoke of the results of the work of such evangelists as Spurgeon, Moody, Dr. Strong and others, and urged that the time was ripe for uplifting the people in this City. He concluded by asking for the opinions of those pressnt as to the proper means for_starting the work of evangelization and how best to carry it on. A lady Christian Endeavorer, who is engaced in missionary work in Chicago, expressed her surprise at the lack of observance of the Sabbath in the City by store-keepers. She went into a grocery and asked the proprietor why he did not close his store, and he replied that there was no law against it, and besides if he were to close up his store his competitors He admitted would get all his custom. that, physically, he requi but in the present condi he could not afford to take any chances of losinz his trade. Bpeaking of the work of evangelization, she s; ke of the d fficulty of getting people to attend places of worship, and instanced the case of a Salvation Army leader in Chicago who, following the example of the Lord, rode through the streets on a donkey, buil instead of having his face to the animal’s head, he sat with his back to it. The novelty of the thing drew an immense crowd, whe followed him to the meeting place, and after he got them inside he delivered an impassioned address and was the means of converting a good number. o She believea in house to house visita- tion and urging families to attend the meetings. She had adoptea that plan in Chica ‘0 and it had worked well. Nearly every one in the hall spoke of the necessity of starting the work, one gentleman advising the practice of feed- ing the stomachs of the needy tirst before e had tried that method successiully. He did not be- lieve in riding on s donkey or any such absurd acts to attract a crowd. More éenuine human sympathy aud practical hristianity would do more than anything else to evangelize the poor and needy. “1 remember when a great preacher spoke at an evangelistic meeting,’” he said, ‘‘and a reporter dressed up as a vagrant went upto him after the meeting and asked him for a nickel to buy a loat of bread as he was starving. The preacher instead of putting his band in his pocket and giving him the nickel gave him the address of a charltable society. Isimply mention this to show how 1mpossible it is for preachers to reach the hearts of the people unless they practice what they preach. When we go outon our mission let us put afew dollars in our pockets and when we find a man starving let us feed him and then tell him of the gospel truths.” No definite plan was formulated,but the few earnest workers present decided to call another meeting and get the move- ment thoroughly started. Her Neck Twisted. Hattie Emerson, a habitue of Grant avenue, was treated at the Receiving Hospital last night for a twisted neck. Her explanation of how she recetved the injuries was that while asleep in her room two men entered, and one seized her by the feet and the other by the head and gave her neck a sudden twist. Dr. Thowmpson placed her under chloroform and twisted the neck back into place. ————— Aluminum does not rust or tarnish. i | ANOTHER BAD CASE OF HATPIN Edward Donohue, a Book- keeper, Stabbed in the Chest. The Pin Was Broken Off and the Point Penetrated His Left Lung, This Is the Third Oase of the Kind Treated at the Receiving Hos- pital Recently. Edward Donohue, a bookkeeper living at 1660 Mission street, had an adventure on Saturday night which has caused him great pain and inconvenience. He called at the Receiving Hoepital yes- terday morning and told Dr. Thompson, acting police surgeon, that he had been stabbed in the left chest with a hatpin on Saturday night. He met a young woman on the street who said she was a stenographer, and he took her into a sa- loon, as she wanted a drink. Aftershe had afew drinks she seemed to get crazy, and because he tried to pacify her she stabbed him with a hatpin. He thought the pin had just punctured his chest, so he went home and slept well all night. When he wakened yesterday morning he felt considerable pain in his chest, and wondered what was the matter. Dr. Thompson examined the wound and found that the pin had penetrated Dono- hue’s left lung. The pin had broken off i and the doctor extracted a piece about | three inches long from Donohue’s chest. The point was as sharp as the pointof a needle. Donohue declared that he did not know who the woman was, and did not think he couid recognize her again. He is a mar- ried man, baving a wife and three chil- dren. His mother-in-law called at the hospital and was very much distressed when she was aporised of the extent of his injury. She said he had been acting queerly of late. This is the third case of the kind within a few weeks that has been treated at the Receiving Hosgilul, and it would seem as if hatpin-stabbing by women was be- coming popular. The first case was a married woman who stabbed a chance acquaintance in a saloon. Judge Campbell sentenced her to six months in the County Jail and she is now serving her sentence. The second case was that of a young girl named Smith, who stabbed a waiter in the Baltimore restaurant, on_ Sixth street. in the early morning of July 5. The case is still pending. AT THE Y. M. 0. A, Dr, Howard Russell Speaks to a Large Audience on Temperance. At the Y. M. C. A. buiiding yesterday Dr. Howard Russell of Ohio addressed a large andience on the subject **Who Is To Blame?* Dr. Russell superintendent of the American Anti-Saioon League, He held parents responsible for the bad habits of their children, where the home training had been neglected and the habit for drink fostered. He said in part: Women are also blameworthy when they associate with young men addicted to drink. Many suffer sorrow in their after lives because they accept drinking men for husbands. The man who drinks to excess is blameworthy, likewise the moderate drinkers, from whose ranks excessive drinkers come. The salooa- keeper is responsible for the sorrow and shame coming out of his business, so is the brewer of liquor. The machine politician, who draws hissupport from the saloonsand their hangers- on, came in for their share of condemnation. ————————— Fruit Inspection at Fancouver. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 17.—Cali- fornia shippers are advised to be very careful of their fruit consignments to British Columbia, as the Provincial fruit inspectors condemn consignments freely if suspected ot taint by the San Jose scale or other pest. One of the Board of Com- missioners, being personally interested in British Columbia fruit-growing, is in- clined to give that infant industry all the incidental protection he can. It cannot be said, despiie years of sanguine fore- cast, that British Columbia fruit produc- tion iiae advanced much. There is stiil ample scope for an enlarging import, as the home supply 18 small in the extreme, save as regards small fruits and even in these is inadequate. NEW TO-DAY. GOLD FIELDS, ALASKA!
