Notables Hovered Around the Pool-Boxes and Fluctuated the Odds. Patria, an Eastern Importation, Races Out and Wins the All-Age Stake. The betting ring at Ingleside Cours- ing Park presented a lively scene yes- terday. The gold poured into the coffers of the “bookies.” The talent received several shocks, but each new phase of the game only served to make | the day's sport the more enjoyable, and in the evening when the last course had been run matters stood even enough to bring cheerfulness to all Prominent in the crowd that hovered around the pool boxes were Dr. Con- lon, William Brennan, Jack Gallagher, Edward Goldstone, Moses and a contingent from the Olympic Club, headed by Hugo Belau, that was largely instrumental in fluctuating the odds when the dogs were ready for the race. The puppy race that headed the day’s | programme proved fortunate for the talent until the fourth course, when Dempsey Lass lowered the colors of a 3 to 1 favorite, Rush o' the Hill. was a brilliant one, but the cleverness of the short-end dog won the money. This little setback for the tal- ent resulted in a strengthening of the nerves of the betters which was not to be deplored, as following everts proved even more disastrous to the money. premacy Mystic Maid,a late Eastern mportation, | in the first course of the all-age stake, sailed forth from the slips and put out | in clever style the crack of the coast, | Moondyne, a 4 to 1 favorite.

Patria, who knocked out Fireball in the fourth start, proved one of the sensations of the day. Patria was lately imported from the East and began to show her speed but recently. Her condition.was such yesterday that the book makers took her cause in hand and began ot make the money flow on that run. About even money was offered on the fleet animal by the book makers at the | opening, but at the close as high as 4 to 1 was offere day’s coursing Patria was the victor over the dogs of all ages. In anticipation of the day’s events that came to pass several prominent book makers were in evidence and their judgment was vorably commented on by the talent, which usual. Puppy Stake—D.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Cannot Find Homes. Many of Their Cases Are From the Country and Not Eligible Here. A study of the local situation regard- ing the condition of children belonging to the defective and dependent classes in this city shows that there are not enough sheltering homes for those who are confronted by destitution. There is scarcely a day that there are not worthy applications for food and shelter for children who begin each day at the very door of want. It is probable that these conditions are largely the result of enforced idleness of parents whose earnings rave been curtailed or completely arrested by dull times in their particular fields of industry. Secretary Parnell of theSoclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children is having much difficulty in finding any place where he can put his charges, even | temporarily, on account of the over- | crowded condition of all of the homes and hospitals for children. This was | most forcibly impressed upon him when | he recently tried to place six little ones | where they would be sheltered for a few days. The case was that of the family of George Pepper, of 119 San Carlos avenue. The father is out of work and the agents of the house have theatened to evict the family. In jus- tice to the agents they would not drive the family out until they had seen Colonel Parnell and toid him of the condition of the tenants. Application was made by the secretary at all of | the homes and he received the same | answer, that there was no room for any more. The one exception to the condition of overcrowding is found at the Little Sisters’ Infant Shelter, but this is not wholly a charitable home. It is a place where little children and babes of working mothers are cared for at a fee of § to 10 cents a day. A few chil- dren of destitute parents might be sent Curled up on a sofa in her warm sitting Mrs. Stevenson chats away pleasantly about She wears her invariable indoor dress, the long, shapeless holokui, the Hawailan costume which has been adopted by natives all over the Pa- cific as a Sunday dress. Long residence in the islands has accustomed Mrs. Stevenson to this style of attire; her peculiar charm of manner would be quite lost in the orthodox garb of the Caucasian dressmak- er. The loosely hanging robe is as much part of her personality as the cigarette, which she Is always rolling and smoking. Few ladles can smoke with grace, but Mrs. Stevenson is one of the few. “The winter, even in this mild climate, has tried me very much,” she remarked, “but now the spring is approaching 1 must get on to Lon- don.

The volume, or perhaps there will be two, is to be issued quite independently, but I cannot yet say who will be the publishers. The preparation of the work is in good hands.

There is the best portion of the Vailima library, including many rare works which Mr. Stevenson picked up from time to time. she lowered her voice to a respectful tone while speaking of the great treasure, “an original Hogarth, his ‘Midnight People would not believe I had this painting, but I showed it to a connoi and he was amazed. Of course,” added Mrs. “there is no market for such gems of art here, and I shall have to take the picture to New York, or perhaps to London.” “There is the National Gallery, they have none too many Hogarths.” But you will understand the trouble I A good many people would like a few of Mrs. Stevenson's trou- bles. especially when they include the care of an They do not. however, seem to oppress the lady unduly. “I am going first to Riverside,” she went on, outlining her project- ed travels, “to spend a few days with my brother, J. Van de Grift. Mind you, spell it right, Van, then a little de—" “Oh, I know how to spell it,” I replied. “How do you know?” said Mrs. Stevenson, looking up astonished. “Why, it's in the dedication to Prince Otto, ‘To Nelly Van de Grift.’ " But to continue my journey. After leaving Riverside, I am going south to New Orleans, and from there to Washington, where I will remain until I leave New York on May 10 in the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse.” “Is there anything of Mr. Stevenson’s left to publish?” I asked, by “No, I think not; there may be a few fragments, scattered here and there, which there is some talk of collecting, but practically the ‘Weir of Hermiston’ is the last of his works.” “It is a pity he did not live to finish it.” “It is,” she agreed, with a sigh. And I may tell you that he had planned another which would perhaps have been an even greater work. It was to havi been called ‘Sophia Scarlet,” and all the characters were to be female, “Mr. Stevenson,” I put in, “once told me that his heroines were his He did not consider himself qualified to draw the woman from “Yes; but that was long ago; he changed afterward, and ‘Sophia Scarlet’ was to have been full of real live women, Iiving on a planta- tion somewhere in the Tropics and going through all sorts of marvel- ous adventures.

In response to a question Zs to the reason of the Inability of the su- perintendent to furnish accommoda- tions for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, he said: “The reason is that our society is maintained by the charitable people of San Fran- cisco, and we cannot give accommo- dations to the other society because its agents scour the entire State for desti- tute and suffering children. We do not think it Is right for the people of this city to be compelled to pay for those out of the city. Again, we like to keep children awhile 80 as to do something toward teaching them how to meet the world. The society that cares for chil- dren who have been abused is in the habit of coming here with a child and taking him out almost at once. This disarranges our system entirely.” The Maria Kip Orphanage is another asylum where there is no overcrowding of children, though only orphans or half orphans are admitted, and if any child in either of these two classes apply they are immediately provided for. ‘With comfort forty-eight children more can be cared for. The Youths’ Directory until yes- terday morning was crowded, but at that time six of the boys left and so there is that vacancy. Father Crow- ley stated that he never turned away any urgent case that came under his notice. The directory can accommo- date about seventy-five and there are now in the building sixty-nine. *“When they start coming,” sald the reverend father, “it is a case of it never rains but it pours.” 7 The Hebrew Orphan Asylum is one of the few that has all the room it wants and can accommodate about 100 more. The San Francisco Nursery for Chil- dren is also obliged to turn away on the average one child a day, as they have not enough bedding to accommo- date them. They are now keeping sev- enty-six, while four more could be easily accommodated if they had the necessities. They could give no reason for the number of children of late that needed homes. The Ladies’ Protection and Relief So- clety are caring now for fifteen children more than they can conveniently ac- commodate. Every day come more ap- plications, and every day they have to be refused. When one of the members was asked why this condition of affairs existed, she replied that she thought that there were so many children whose parents were out of work, and rather than have them starve they place them in these homes while at any other time they would hold up their hands in holy horror of that Idea. —_—————— ‘Valuable Quartz Stolen.

Miss Desir Johanson, “The Belle of the Water Front,” Married to Harry Worsdale. The schooner Beulah has established a new record for coasters. She left here February 23, in the afternoon, and on the morning of February 26 was at anchor in Grays Harbor. She dis- charged, took on a load of lumber and got away for San Francisco on the 5th inst. A remarkably quick piece of work. If good luck attends the vessel and she makes a quick run down the coast Captain Mitchell will have a round trip to his credit that a steamer might be proud of. The chances are against him, however, as all the coast- ers are making long passages. The fleet from Grays Harbor is now out from ten to fourteen days and those that have reached port report very heavy weather off the coast of Mendo- cino. The schooner Ida Schnauer from Fort Bragg for San Pedro had to put in here {n distress. Off the coast of Men- docino she was caught in a heavy southeaster and part of her deck load was carried away. The cabin was flooded and the forecastle gutted. The schooner was severely strained so the captain decided to run for San Fran- cisco. The agents of the steamer Curacoa are keeping a bright lookout for the vessel these days. She is much needed | because of the Alaskan trade and can- not get here too soon to please Messrs. Goodall, Perkins & Co. The Cottage City took fifty-nine days to come here from New York, the Valencia took fifty-five days to come from Baltimore and the Curacoa is now out sixty-six days from Baltimore. She is not nearly as fast a boat as the Cottage City or Valencia, however, so no fears are felt for her safety. On her arrival here the Curacoa is to be fitted with the How- den system of forced draught and it is expected to add at least two knots an | hour to her speed. When her repairs are completed she will probably re- place the Orizaba on the Mexican route, while the new steamer Senator, now being completed at the Union Iron ‘Works, will go on the Alaskan route. The Orizaba will be put on the San Diego trade. Captain Blackburn and his crew of gold hunters from Gloucester, Mass., who came around the Horn in the schooner Hattie I. Phillips, are not going to sit down and patiently await the opening of the Yukon. They have chartered their vessel to carry lumber from Grays Harbor and are going to do all the work themselves. Lumber freights are now high and the fisher- men miners from Gloucester will earn considerable money while awaiting the opening of the river. If they can sell the Phillips they will go to St. Michael by steamer. If they can’t get a fair price for her they will sail her to the mouth of the Yukon or Kotzebue Sound. The first steamers for use on Lake Bennett and the waters of the upper Yukon are to go to Skaguay on the steamer Dirigo. They have been built by the Risdon Iron Works for the Up- per Yukon Transportation Company, and are 00 feet long, 10 feet broad and 2 feet 6 inches deep. They have been built in sections, and will be taken over the Chilcoot Pass to their destination. Twelve men are going up with the boats to put them together at Lake Bennett. Miss Deair A. Johanson, “the belle of the water front” and daughter of Captain G. Jchanson, was married to Harry Worsdale in the New Depot Ho- tel on Sacramento street last Saturday evening. The parlors and dining room were beautifully decorated for the occa- sion, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Carl B. Hoel of Our Sav- for's Scandinavian Evangelican Luth- eran Church. The best man was Chas. Puckhaber, and the maid of honor Miss Emma Johanson. The bride’s father has been in business on the water front for over thirty years, and has a host of friends. Among those who were pres- ent at the wedding were Mrs. G. Johan- gon, William Johanson, Mr. and Mrs. Abrahamson, Mr. and Mrs. L. Cames, Miss Leontine Cames, Miss Emma Hey- man, Mr. and Mrs. P.

Hartley and Thompsan had a pe- culiar experience in the Harbor Re- celving Hospital yesterday.

Farly in the afternoon Willlam An- derson of the schooner Nettie Sundbork was brought to the hospital by Gus- tave Erriccson to be treated. Ander- son was covered with blood, and a piece of his scalp was hanging down over his forehead. He was put on the operat- ing table, and at once went off into a drunken sleep.

McGuire was found dead in his bed Saturday night at 836B Howard street, Michael McManus, the proprietor of the him lying in bed with his head covered. He pulled down the clothes and found McGuire dead, with his face covered with blood. The man had been sick for some time, and it was supposed that he had died from a hemorrhage. When the Coroner’s deputy arrived he discovered a pistol in the dead man’s hand and a bullet hole in his head. A note was {n McGuire's pocket ad- he had killed himself by taking morphine and laudanum, and requesting that no autopsy be held and that Joseph White- head and Dr. McKendry of this city be notified of his death. The note was un- signed, and the writer gave as his reason that he had brought enough disgrace on his “kin" already. Papers found on the body indicated that McGuire lived at Fort Worth, Tex., under the name of Mark Phillips. He had lived at the place where he killed himself for about six weeks, and had paid his rooom rent up to two days ago. No money or valuables were found, but there was a re- ceipt from the Bank of Commerce of this city showing that McGuire had deposited a check for $0, drawn on the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Fort Worth. “THE WOMEN OF THE PASSION.” Rev. E. P. Dempsey Delivers a Strong Sermon at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Second Sunday in Lent Observed ‘With Impressive Ceremony and Beautiful Music. St. Mary’s Cathedral was crowded to the doors yesterday with worshipers, and the second Sunday in Lent was observed with impressive ceremony. The services were held under the auspices of the Cal- varian Society and special music was ar- ranged for the occasion. The cathedral choir was augmented by the Young Ladles’ Sodality choir, and .the music was a pleasing feature of the service. They rendered “Stabat Mater,” “Venl Creator,” “Jesu Dei Vivi” (Roseivia), “O Salutaris” and “Tantum Ergo,” chorus (A. Capella). The object of the Calvarian Society is to aid the souls in purgatory through the devotion of the “way of the cross.” This devotion was first introduced into Jeru- salem, among the Christians who dwelt there, out of veneration for those sacred spots which were sanctified by the suf- ferings of Christ. From the Holy Ciy this devout exercise was introduced intc Europe. When in 1342 the salem and undertook the custody of the sacred places of the Holy Land they began to spread throughout the world the devo- tion of the “way of the cross.” ‘At _the conclusion of the ceremony Rev. . P. Dempsey delivered an interesting sermon, choosing as his “The Women of the Passion.” “The beautiful pictures in which the women of Jerusalem take a prominent part.
