Many People Have Been Lured There in the False Hope of Find-~ ing Gold. Ex-Police Sergeant Josiah Johns, who | went to Peru at the head of a prospect- | ing party and who was reported to | have died there, arrived here Friday | on the steamer City of Sydney. His expectation of acquiring a fortune in the mines was not realized. He says | that some stories told of the richness of the gold fields of Peru arc untrue and he advises all those contemplating a trip to that country to remain at home. “When I read the Eastern accounts of the rich finds being made in Peru,” | satd Johns yesterday, “I determined | to try my fortune. In company with E. B. Hagans, J. H. Livermore, F. A. Bo- | linger, John P. Stalford, R. Boone, Geo. | Glennie and J. C. Dawson I left here on March 20th last. We went to Pan- ema on the City of Sydney and from | there on a sailing vessel to Mollendo. AN OLD SAN FRANCISCO FAVORITE. Mrs. Willie Collier, better known to the theater-going population of San Francisco as Louise Allen, arrived In the city last night as the leading lady had all the experience we wanted. The whole country has been prospected and gone over hundreds of vears ago and I do not believe that there are undis- covered mines or claims there. On every side you find places where some one has been prospecting or mining.” Johns says that there is nothing in either Peru or Bolivia for a poor man who goes to either country expecting to locate a mine and become a Monte Cristo in a few years. “The articles published in the East as to the gold flelds,” sald he, in conclusion, “have been the cause of misleading many people. Hundreds of others like myself have gone there full of expectations only to return badly disappointed. Provisions of all kinds are high and then what you get is not of the best quality. It is no place for a poor man. My advice to all who contemplate going there in search of gold is to keep away from the coun- try. I am talking from a rough expe- rience and I would not want to see my worst enemy lured there in the hope of finding a Klondike. The climate is severe and it takes a particularly strong man to stand it. All the mining that is going on is at points of high altitude and a man whose lungs are not as strong as leather has no busi- ness there.” —_—— i SANTA CLAUS @ARRIVED. Distribution of Presents Among the Children of St. Ignatius Sunday-School. One hundred Sunday - school boys were made glad yesterday afternoon by the distribution of presents at the St. Ignatius Sunday-school festival. Toys, candy, and in fact everything likely to delight the little ones were dlvided among them in great profusion. The festival was held in the base- ment of the church, and for an infor- mal affair proved to be one of the most successful entertainments of this char- acter ever held. There was a mammoth Christmas tree in the front of the hall, laden with bonbons and every possible and im- aginable adornment which is usually placed on a tree to delight the eye of old Santa Claus and incidentally put him in a jolly and liberal mood. The entertainment was given under the auspices and mainly through the efforts of Miss F. Harvey and other prominent members of the Francesca Society. Next Sunday morning Thomas O’Connell, the young man who will be ordained Friday in the Catholic priest- hood, will say mass for the first time at the Paulist Church on California street. The Rev. Father Yorke will de- liver the sermon at high mass, taking as his text the appropriate subject of “The Young Catholic Priesthood.” The services at the forty hours’ ado- ration was begun at St. Mary’s Hospi- tal yesterday afternoon. There will be a business meeting of the St. Charies branch of the League of the Cross at 8 o’clock to-nigfit. Many important matters will be discussed at the meeting. An entertainment will be given in Native Sons’ Hall Wednesday evening under the auspices of the ladies of St. Brendan's parish. Next Friday evening an essay con- test of members of the old St. Mary's branch of the League of the Cross will be held in the basement of the church on California and Dupont streets. e Alcatraz Parlor’s Offlcers. The following named are the officers that have been chosen to control the af- fairs of Alcatraz Parlor for the ensuing term: A. K. Daggett, past president; C. F. Fitzsimmons, president; H. Lichten- stein, T. J. Barry and Max Lichtenstein, vice-presdents; F. W. Sink, recording secretary; Will Horabin, financial secre- tary; G. Moulin, treasurer; Brace Cama- metti, marshal; S. B. Priest, instde sen- tinel; H. O. Van der Lieth, outside sen- tinel: 8. G. Harris, H. T. Ansbro and Joe Regensberger, trustees. These officers were installed at the last held meeting of the parlor. EEr RS Robbed a Car. Willlam Mullen, a young man, was ar- rested last night by Detectives Bee and Harper and was charged with burglary. He is accused of being one of the men who broke into a freight car at Port Costa about .a week ago and stole over 200 pairs of trousers, wnich were disposed of her husband’'s play, “The Man weeks' engagement at.the Baldwin this evening. here in “Hoss and Hoss,” when she acted with the ¢ Collier has made a remarkable success in the East in a number of different parts of her own creation.

And presently there were many who gave this mute testimonial to the preacher’s eloquence. To each he made a motion that was quiet, graceful and intensely sympathetic. “Come home, ye who are weary.

And that was all there was to this strange revival meeting; nothing sen- sational, Major Hilton had said. WANTED IN SACRAMENTO. Harold Pilkington, Who Is Well Connected, Arrested for Embezzlement * Harold Pilkington, who §s wanted in Sacramento for embezzlement, was ar- rested last night by Detective Tom Gibson, and was locked up in the City Prison. He will be returned to the Capital City to-day. Gibson worked a clever game to catch Pilkington. Convinced that he was fourth street, the detective wrote note to him, asking him to meet a friend who was anxious to see him. Evidently thinking that the note was genuine, Pilkington, who is well con- nected, went to the meeting place. He was met by Gibson and was at once placed under arrest. Two Sudden Deaths. Two deaths were reported at the Coro- ner's office yesterday. Louls Dehrmann, while in a salooon at 423 Third street, was taken i1l and before medical aid reached him he died, supposedly from natural causes. Giacomo Cappalli, while visiting the residence of an acquaintance where a death was in the family, was takemr 1l and expired from heart failure. Both bodies were removed to the Morgue.

There was an overflowing attendance at the services of the United Japanesa Church at 1329 Pine street last night. The services were wholly of a religious na- | ture and were under the airection of Rev. J. Metani, president of the association. In addition to many fervent speeches on the work of the church there were songs of a sacred nature.

H. Glassman, While De- spondent, Turned on the Gas. He Was Soon Discovered and Locked Up at the City Prison. Friends Asked for His Release, but Bail Was Not Ac- cepted. J. A. Glassman, son of Jacob Glass- man, a well-known wholesale and re- | 1 cigar merchant, is booked at the | ty Prison on a charge of drunken- and opposite his name is marked ‘no bail” Twice last evening he at- tempted to take his own life, being | despondent from excessive use of alco- | holic stimulants. According to the story told by the ar- resting officers, Snowball and Wilson, as well as the proprietors of the places In which Glassman attempted to end his life, the unfortunate man has been on a “spree” for five or six weeks past. He had formerly been employed as a solicitor by the Emporium renovatory, 109 Eddy street, but is at the present | time unable to procure employment. 3ecoming despondent he started drinking heavily, and was soon on the | verge of delirium tremens. Last even- ing he walked into a lodging-house, under the management of John M. Evans, 116 Eddy street, and, opening a door of a room on -the top floor, he turned on the gas jet and laid down on | the bed to die. The odor of the escaping polson was soon detected, and when the door of | the room was again opened Glassman | 3 on the bed, apparently in a deep slumber. He W quickly carried out | of the room and in a few minutes or- dered from the house. He left and walked up Eddy street and entered room 10 of 120A Eddy street in a lodg- ing-house run by Miss Crawford. vans notified the officers in the neighborhood of the attempted sui- cide, and they followed the man into the building, where it was discovered that he had again turned on the gas as before. He was carried into the street and the patrol-wagon was called. Hav- ing recovered sufficiently from the ef- fects of the gas he had breathed he was not taken to the hospital, but charged at the City Prison. On Friday last he applied for a room in the Crawford lodging-house, and has | since been stopping there.” It was no- | ticed that he was drinking heavily, but | is friends were not of the impression | that he was so despondent as to at- ! | tempt to kill himself. Accordingly no | watch was kept on him, and the smell | | of the escaping gas alone saved him from certain death. His case is a pitiful example of des- | pondency and loss of hope induced by | liquor upon a young man who was | giftad with early opportunities not of- | ten met with. He, in partnership with | J. Browswelger, opened the business of | dyeing and cleaning, which s now | known as the Emporium renovatory. | For a while the business prospered, but Glassman’s partner tired of the un- dertaking and, after getting married, | left the State. The business was sold te the present owners, and Glassman started as a solicitor for the firm. Con- | siderable trust was placed in him by | his employers, but soon drink had the tetter of him. | After losing his position he went from | bad to worse, and nearly ended in a disgraceful death last evening. His father is respected as a business man, and the son had opportunities which he failed go take advantage of.
