A bullet hole turough her right tempie and a nickel-plated revolver by lier side showed how she had taken her life. No reason is known why she should have made away with herself. Mrs. Hughes, the landlady, says that last Monday 2 week ago the woman came to her house and engaged a small back room upstairs, paying her $3 for a week’s She told Mrs. Hughes that she had just arrived in the city and was to remain here on a visit a week or ten days. The woman spoke very poor English and with a strong French accent. Her manner was quiet and that of a refine¢ woman. 3 Last Monday she paid another §3 for the second week's rent and asked Mrs. Huehes to give her a receipt, piving her name as Schreiner. She went out last Wednesday night at half-past 7 o'clock and returned at 9, going immedia tely to her room. When she engaged the room the younz woman stipniated that a glass of milk should be sent up to her every morning 2! 8 o'clock. Yesterday morning when Louise Belding, Mrs. Hughes' colored servant, knocked at the door she received no answer. Then si:e turnea the knob and peeped inside, and was stirtled on finding that the folding-bed had not been taken down and used. A second peep around the edge of the door and she saw the feet of the dead woman. Deputy Coroner Hallet made a thorough search of the room, but couid find noth- ing that would lead to the identification of the deceased, except a linen handkerchief, on the corner of which was embroiaered in crimson silk thread the name “Aimie.”’ There was also a seal for sealing letter:, and the letters on the seal were “R. A."” Nothing else was found but a pocket-book containing 75 cents. Her trunk and tel- escope traveling basket containing a few articles of wearing apparel were taken in charge by the Coroner. It is believed that the unfortunate woman wrote several lsiters before committing suicide, for the inkstand was open, and it and the pen showed signs of recent nse. Writing-paper was scatiered around, and on the table was the perforated fringe torn off five postage stamps. It is probable that after having written the letters, she took them to a letter-box on the corner of Post and Franklin streets, and pos:ed them. Then she took a street- car downtown, bought the pistol, a cheap affair, and returned to her room at 9 o'clock i and shot herself. Deputy Coroner McCormick later in the day solved the girl’s identity. Her name was Aimie de Lisaale, and she was a native of France, about 25 yearsold. For the past 1wo years she was employed as a domestic in the family of Mrs. Esberg, at 22i1 Pacific avenue. She was sickly and seemed to be despondent and at times flighty. She left the Esbergs the same day on which she engaged the room at Mrs. Hughes’, and a few days afterwari she left orders with an express delivery company to bring her trunk to her room. Oa that occasion she gave her name as Schreiner. The Coroner will hoid an inquest, den goes out. Yesterdsy Governor Budd, Reeent Denickeand Professor George Da- vidson were together in conterence for several Lours, and 1t transpires that Lick Observatory topics were freely discussea. Protessor Davidson is mentioned as an as- tronomer who is likely to succeed Holden. Nobody can guess what the Board of Regents will do when it comes to a vote in secret session. Recently the president of the university, Mr. Kellogg, suppressed or held out a letter from Professor Colton in which the latter tendered to the regents bis resignation on the ground that no as- troncmer could get along with Holden. It transpired also at tie session at which the facts of the suppression were mede knowa that Timothy Guy Phelps bad been edvi-ed that Holden intended to re- sign. Mr. Pheips asked that Hoiden be given a three months’ leave of absence with pay, and (be regen s, having plenty of money for university uses, aliowed the salary and the leave with as much alacrity as they allowed Julius Kahn's bill of §2400 for lobbying the one cent tax at Sacra- mento. No ‘doubt there will be candidates enough for the position when the vacancy really cccurs. Itis a commen talk that Holden has veen kept in_his place for a long t:me by the efforts of Regent Phelre, and it is surmiced that a plan was formed to keep the proposed resignation quiet until an acceptable man could be iound for the place. The Governor yesterday did not discuss the conference with any degree of iree- dom. When asked if there was some plan for the appointment of Professor David- son, he parried the question by saying that Professor Holden bad not resigned. He suid he had dined with Mr. Denicke a“drrde!-jfi,nivv'_mm". : HOTEL HENS BIG PLAN.

The leading hotel men of California have just perfected a plan for maintaining in New York City an attractive exhibit of all manner of products of the soil and factory in this State. . A meeting for the purpose was held ves- terday aiterncon at the Palace Hotel. 8. F.

A canvass of immediate prospects showed that there will be available for the project $412 50 a month for the next LWO veurs, G. W. Lynch was elected to take charge of the New York bureau. He will pro- ceed with the plan on October 1. An energetic effort will be made to swell the fund to $800 a month, so that the bu- reau may be a greater credit to the State and a means of inducing visitors to come. President Thorn appointed the follow- ons to collect funds in their coun- ‘ulton G. Berry. in Fresno County; L. M. Baier. in Tulare C unty and also in Kin. s and Kern counties; George P. Snelil, in Santa Clara Count: 2. B. Pixley, in Santa Cruz Cotnty; F.S. Duty, in Mon- terey County; ex-Mavor Davie of Qak- land, in Alameda County; Colonel J. P. Jackson, 1n Napa County.
