The inhabitants of Oregon, Washing- ton and British Columbia have recentiy been given an opportunity to learn some- thing about California, its multitudinouns 1ssources, its glorious climate and its un- irpassed scenery, which they were not elow to take advantage of. Miss Helen Kelleher, the distinguished young elocutionist, has just completed a tour of the Northwes!, during which she delivered her deligntful iecture on “Pic- turesque California’ to no less than 23,000 | people. Miss Kelleher began her tour on October 1, and lectured 10 forty-four audi ences in forty of the principal cities and towns, returning to her home in this city the 4th inst. Her California, who have the Wellur_e of the State at heart, and adopted this novel plan of placing its advantages before our northern neighbors. The lecture was illustrated by 200 stere- opticon views in colors, thrown upon a screen 22 by 22 feet, and besides display- ing the scenic wonders, gave excellent representations of the leading cities and towns, the great orchards arnd vineyards and the mining industry. Aside from the natural wonders of the State, Miss Kel- leher savs the view that eve:ywhere cri ateg the most admiration and wonder w. tof: of the Claus Spreckels building, the nef home of THE UL Few had ever secW such an imposing piece of architec- urd ana scarcely anybody was aware wat'such a magn ficent structure could be fiund west of Chicago. “I was aware that the people of Oregon aid Washington were intensely loygl to ®.inir respective States,” said Miss Kelle- he, last evening, ‘“and 1 began my tour baf fearful that my lecture would be collly received. 1 was most agreeably surjrised, however, for everywhere I went Iwa greeted with big houses and at many vlace people were turned away. At Si attie§300 people artended my two lecture: and & Portland, Tacoma, Victoria and the tour was under the airection of | fitiy prominent citizens of all parts of | other large towns the houses were in pro- portion. At Medford, Or., a town of 1400 | inhabitants, 800 attended my lecture, over half the population, and the hall would not accommodate all who applied for ad- mission. “What gratified me most was the inter. | est manifested in California. As a rule at the beginning of the lecture the audiences were rather indifferent, but as the aiffer- entviews were thrown on the screen they became enthusiastic over the varied re- sources of the State, and at the close of each lecture I was plied with questions | regarding different sections. I have had | | as many as 300 people waiting to question | | me about California after the conclusion | of a lecture. “I teel sure that my tour will result in material good to the Stiate, for although the northern people are fairly prosperous, they are beginning to realize that thereis a land to the south of them that is fairer | and more promising than their own can | ever possibly be. ATl during my trip and since my return Ihave been deluged with letters of inquiry from people who heard my lecture.’ Miss her is preparing for a tour that will begiv soon after the first of the year and will extend through the East to | the Atlantic seaboard, covering a period of five or six months. Only the larger cities will be visited and Miss Kelleher ex- vects to deliver not lese than 150 lectures. With the splendia views with which she illustrates her lecture this will bs one of the best advertisements the State has ever had in the East and will doubtless be of great benefit. Miss Kelieher is a California girl and 1s gifted with rare elocutionary abilities. Added to this she has a beautiful face, fine fi-ure and & most charming person- ality, which combine to win over her audiences at once. The lecture she de- livers on “‘Picturesque California’” was written by herself and is one of the most entertaining as well as instructive dis- courses ever listened to. During the Christian Endeavor convention in this city last summer M ss Kelleter delivered her lecture to an audience of 10,000 people, and was the recipient of a flattering re- ception by her auditors, ] i Citizens' | * \ \ Y ‘léfl&‘\g \\\ W oo il “ i ,;‘ H t W\ \8 A Sale of Holiday Goods to Raise a Church Debt.

ROBBED A FUR STORE. F. Muller’s Store on Kearny Street Broken Into by Three Men. About ten days ago three men enfered the fur store of F. P.

Lastevening they arrested | L. P. Fiege, Edwara Sanders and James | Finney, besides recovering all the stolen | property in Finney’s room at 115 Second street. Fiege was arrested in the Cafe Royal, Sanders on Kearny street, and Finney in his room. Fiege denies that he bad & band in the burglary, but the others admit their guilt. The store was entered through a tran- som, whick had been pried open by the burgiars, and the door was then opened from the inside. When Sanders was ar- rested he had two bolts of cloth under his arm, but no owner conid be found for the property. MYRTLE AND JERRY. A Preacher Made Both Names Dally and Two Youthful Hearts Happy. Jeremiah Dally, the popular *president’” of the Merchants’ Exchange, made his | first really serious move on the checker- board of life last evening by marrying Miss Myrtle Allison, one of the belles of North Beach. The ceremony took place | at the residence of the bride’s parents, 409 Bay street, Rev. Dr. Dickson of the Fourih Congregational church officiating. Hairy | Pless acted as best man and Miss Laura Cuarran as bride-maid. There were about fifty invited guests present, in addition to the relatives of the “happy peir,” among them being H. T. Emery, secretary and general manager of the Merchants’ Exchange; Abe Marks, one of the clerks of that institution, and M. J. Fitzgerald, the marine reporter. The newly-wedded pair were the recipi- ents of many handsome and costly pres- ents, several of markedly “original”’ de- sign. A bounteous repasi was spread after the ceremony.

Tragic Ending of Yueng.

A game on Washington sireet and forced the proprietor, at the pointof a pistol, to give them $300. They both wore masks and as Yueng was leaving the place be was recognized by one of tue ‘lookouts.” Notwithstanding that the Chinaman was positive in his identification of the | “King of Thieves” no effort was madeto | pros cute him. This was due to the fear the respectable element had for the desnerate Chinese. Now that he is dead, numerous stories are wola which staemp him as being one of the most dangerous highbinders that ever operated in Chinatown. The “King of Thieves” met his death while ransacking the room of Charley Ngow, at 814 Prospect place. He was discovered, after forcing an en- trance, and shot. Through the assistance of some friends he managed to reach a building at 1006 Dupont street, where he was putto bed. Last Tuesday evening hiy body was found by Sergesnt Shea and posse and removed to the Morgue. It is the best thing that ever happened in Chinatown,’’ remarked an intelligent Chinese yesterday. ‘‘His death is worth thousands of dol- lars to the merchants of Chinatown. For years he has terrorized the respectable element of Chinatown, forcing them to surrender their purses at his pleasure. He scoffed at the police, and continued his series o/ crimes without the least fear of being molestea. Now that he is gone beyond human call ihe merchants have reason to congratulate the man whose fatal aim has ridden them of him, Police Commissioners’ Meeting., At & meeting of the Police Commissioners last evening John Hill was dismissed irom the force and finea $10 for playing poker while on duty. Officers Hall and Hutchings, wno were said to be implicated in the game, were allowed to remain on duty, as Hill, who was dismissed, stated that the two officers were in citizen clothes and not on duty, His testimony was corroborated by the ofiicers themselves. — o German theaters generally open at 6:30 {and & THE RACEGOURSE WAS HIS RUIN Edward F.

Masten, financial agent of the Souihern Pacific Company 1d president of the Mariposa and Pheenix 1t River Valley Railroad Company, who lives with his wiaowed mother at 217 Polk street, is in the City Prison on a charge of felony embezzlement. : His desire to play the races, as well as to gamble in the wheat pits, caused him [ to take his employer's money, falsify the books and otherwise commit criminal acts to gain funds. He acknovledges his guilt and the fact that he has been more or less intoxicated for over a week. His shortage will amount to a little over $1000. He was trusted with large amounts of money, and could easily keep a portion for himself, at least until his books were inspected. When chsrged at the City Prison last evening he had $148 in money, about $900 worth of pool tickets which he had played and lost on the horses Fon- sovannah and Double Quick, a check for $10, a revolver and two knives. He said last evening: “I have played a desperate game and lost, and there is no one to blame but myself. I had a good position, but_foolishly threw it away by fast living.
