This American organization was estab- lished at the city of Philadelphia in 1850, and since that time its beneficent, benevo- lent and bounteous charity has spread | over the United States. The Sacramento ‘bmncu was first instituted through the efforts of Mrs. O. C. Booth, the widow of the late Senator Newton Booth, who is now its presdent. Mrs. H. G. Smith is the secretary and Mrs, H. Weinstock the treasurer. The object of the guild is to furnish | new, plain, suitable garments to meet the great need of our hospitals, homes and other charities.

Should Present Legal Proceedings Fall, Criminal Courts WIll Be Resorted To. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN RAFAE ov. 4.—Thare are flat- tering prospects for Colonel Peter A. Fin- | igan, the reputed millionaire, spending | | another term in the Marin County Jail for contempt of court. Once before, for the space of six weeks and one day, Colonel | | of Marin County’s Courthouse, and the | recollection of it is & nightmare to the horseman; yet the chances of his going | back to jail are larger than the odds that | once-were placed upon his horses when | they were kings of the turf. | The Finigan divorce case his claimed i the attention of the pubiic for some | | months. Hardly would the case become out of mind when suddenly either the | colonel or his wife would spring a ser:sa- ;lmn and interest would be revived. Not | only because of the prominence of Colonel | Finigan—who was said to be worth mil- ; lions, besides having a string of thorough- | breds and large interests in mines and | real estate—but because his wife, who in- stituted the proceedings for divorce, was | considered one of the most beautiful women in the State of California, did the troubles of the couple excite the mind of the public, and every bit of news and gos- sip that appeared or was whispered about was read or listened to with rapt atten- tion. Tn the Superior Court to-day, before Judze Angellotti, one of Mrs. Finigan’s attorneys, R. R. Bigelow, ex-Supreme Justice of Nevada, and who has only re- cently been cunnected with the case, made the first move toward placing the | reputed millionaire aefendant behind the | bars of the jail that once before he be- came familiar with. The Finigan case was the ounly one on the calendar, and neither the dcfendant nor the beautiful plaintiff were present. { Finigan was represented by James P. | Sweeney, his attorney, who has had cnarge of the case since the first. The matter before Judge Angellotti wasa con- sideration that the court order Colonel Finigan to pay his wife_alimony pending the suit for divorce. Mrs. Finigan had previously filed an affidavit setting forth that:Finigan was wealthy, but had got awuy with his monev and property so as to defrand her and defeat the court’s or- der aliowing her alimony. Then she re- cited how he was ordered to pay costs, alimony and counsel fees, and how he had refused to do so, went to jaiiand only got out by pleading that he was s pauper and consequently unable to pay. Judge Angellotti had ieard the siory time and time again, but once more to- day he listened to it, and then Colonel Finigan put in an affidavit of his own, in which he denied everything that his wife had alleged. So to-day, in the absence of husband | and wife, Judge Bigelow asked that the court make an orderallowing the lady ali- mony,and Sweeney opj osed itstrenuously, but without avail. He said he was sure the colonel had no money, and as for his services he was receiving the same as was Mrs. Finivan, and that was nothing. | Sweeney’s argument availed little, for | Juage Angeliotti made an order that Colonel Finigan pay to Mrs. Finigan on or bafore November 11, 1897, the sum ot $450—$350 for counsel fees and $100 for cosis—while that portion of the order made February 25, 1897, providing for counse! fees and cosls, be rescinded; the | remainder of the order providing for ali- mony to stand. In thatorder the lady was to receive $300 a month, but she never did. Now, if Colonel Finigan does not have $450 on the 1lth of this month he will go to jail for contempt of court, and there is no question but what Judge Angellotti wiil send him there, for he has done it be- fore. Colonel Finigan himself says that he is without the means of raising tbat money, and not having it he can only waitand see what JudgeAngellottiintends to do in the case. In his afidavit filed to-cay Finigan al- leges his inabiiity to pay $300 a month, and denies that he is aitempting to de- fraud his wile, or, as he puts it, ‘‘denies that he has contemptuously and contu- maciously, or contumaciously or con- temptuously refused to pay alimony, cests, coun-el fees, etc.” Finigan occupied a cell in the basement | TROUBLES ENDED WITH A BOLLET William J. Lehigh Kills Himself at Portland, Oregon. Was Secretary and Manager of the Merchants’ £ xchange Association. Deliberate Sulcide That Causes a Sensation—Letters to His Wifa and O hers. Special Dispatch to THE CALL PORTLAND, Or. Nov. 4.—William J. Lehigh, secretary and manager of the Mercnants’ Exchange Association, 233 Stark street, shot himself through the vead a few minutes after 1 o’clock this afternoon and died within two hours. It was a case of deliberate suicide, prompted by financial troubles. The suicide created a marked sensation among the business men with whom he daily associated at the exchange, and the cause is not clear now. Its deliberateness was remarkabie. When he left home this morning he gave bis wife many fond caresses, returned to | her from the sidewalk for a last embrace, came to his office, worked hard at the booksuntil nearly noon, wentto a barber- shop and asked for a quick shave, stopped at a gunstore and bouzut a revolver, and returned to the exchange rooms, where he wrote three letters. One was to James A. de France, a clerk in his employ, another to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha Dalton, and the third to his wife, which was left on the desk addressed in care of Mr. de France, with instructions to deliver the same at4 o’clock. The letter to Mrs. Dal- ton was only a few brief lines saying: Go up to Ella’s this afternoon as she will re- ceive sad news. ‘Lhe letter to Mrs, Lehigh from her hus- vand was of a most endearing nature and told of the financial troubles that baset him and his intention of killing himse if, Mre. Lehigh is the only daughter of George E. Cole, former Governor of Idaho. The letter to Mr. de France was as follows: PORTLAND, November 4, 1897. James Alez de France—You are hereby electea manuger of the Merchants' Exchange Associa- tion, vice W.J.Lehigh, resigned. You are authorized 1o sign all ager of the;Merchants’ Exchange and collect ail dues in ¢ash or checks. Yours respectiully, D. F. Lenion, President. Per W. J. LEHIGH, Attorney in fact. D. F. Lehigh, president of the associa- tion, is superintendent of the Pacific Telephone Company Bureau of Informa- tion, San Francisco. It is understood that the suicide has speculated largely on the San Francisco St-ck Exchange and that he lost heavily. Whether the money of others besides his own was involved is not known. William J. Lehigh came here from Ne- vada twenty-two years ago as a Western Union operator. He was one of five brotbers who had positive genius with the Morse key. J. H. Thatcher, former man- ager of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Poriland, says of him: I think he was the best operater in the world. No living man was a better re- ceiver than he.”’ Sixteen years ago he with his relatives bought the.controliing interest iz the Mer- chants’ Exchange Association, and since that time be has had the active manage- ment. SAN CARLGS DAY L’ELEEHITIEM High Mass at the 0ld Carmelo Mission, Monterey, Followed by Feasting and Sports. MONTEREY, Nov. 4—San Carlos day was celebrated at the old Carmelo Mis- sion to-day with great solmnity by the single yearly high mass which is said at its ‘quaint altar,a large assembly being present to witness the ceremonies. Rev. Father R. M. Mestres of Monterey officiated and the choir from San Carlos cburch sang the mass. After the service, a Spanish barbecue and athletic were enjoyed in the mission close by, ana song and laughter resounded about the usually silent old church. Being the only high mass of the year celebrated in the more than ancient old mission, it is an event of considerable importance, not only because of 1ts Teligious significance, but from its association with the early history of California. The few descend- ants of the mission Indians, some of whom say they remember Padre Junipero and Padre Cresp), who are buried in the mission, were present and a Franciscan padre, assisted in celebrating mass. The Frensciscan order founded the mission in 1770. i checks or draffs as man- | S T R T T T D T T | Huggin. YELLOW FEVER [5 NOT GHECKED Situation Not Improved at New Orleans by the Cold.

Dr. Lueger, whom Herr Abrabhamovicz had invited to speak, was unable to meke himself heard. The Leitists actually entered the Presi- dent’s tribune and refused to budge. D Lueger displayed a placard inscribed, “I claim the richt to speak.” This was greeted by an increased tumult. Two Leftists rose and began to speak simultaneously. Herr Abrahamovicz rang the bell re- peatedly and cailed them to order, but they refused to desi The confusion had now become a bealam, and Herr Abrabamovicz abruptly suspended the sitting, leaving the chair, When the sitting was resumed the up- roar was renewed.

The opposition parties fiercely abused ecch other, and Dr. Lueger denounced tne | Schoenerer group as “a pack of street boys.” The sitting was again suspended, and | yet again resumed, but it was impossible | for Dr. Lueger to get a hearing. At haif- | pust 10 this evening the Leitists were | shouting, pellowing and reading news- paper articles at the top of their lungs. The uproar was incessant. At 11 o’clock many of tke members began shouting together ‘‘close the sit- ting.”’ This they kept up in a kind of chorous, while Herr Wolff and others beat time for them with the desk lids. Aiter awhile the noise subsided a little so that Dr. Lueger could be heard, and he went on condemning the compromise with Hungary because, as he alleged, the Jews want to put their hands into the Czech as well as the German money bags. Then, amid great applause from the Rightists. Dr., Lueger again denounced the Schoe- nerer group as betrayers of their country, and in concluding declared that he was opposed to the compromise because 1t was an unjust one.
