Park then "discovered” that he had missed the last train to San Francisco, 80 he decided to teiephone 1o the su- perintendent of the line and give an ex- cuse for his absence at the power- house this morning.

Sergeant Morrison says that Miss Dille is a girl of sterling character and he believes her story is perfectly true. He wrote last night to the su- perintendent of the California-street line, teiling him of the manner in which Miss Dille was treated and sending him a copy of the message which Park wrote on the card. It is very possible that Park may have some explanations to make to some of the male members of the Dille family. CONVALESCENT HOME HAS MANY INMATES THE RED CROSS SOCIETY’S GOOD WORK GOES ON. Donations Daily Throughout the State—Sol- diers Receiving the Best of Care. day agai had all possible The restoration tent conducted by the Ban Francisco Red Cross Soclety has been in operation during the past week. An average of fifty soldiers a day have been entertained. Those not ill enough to go to the hospital and not well enough to eat regular rations are given suitable food well cooked and served. This in- novation is to prevent convalescents go- 1n¥ to the hospital for food. he soclety’s greatest efforts last week were devoted to the new Convalescent Home at the Presidio, which was opened on Wednesday, and now has twenty pa- tients. The home is under the direction of the State Soclety. The local society has furnished the dining and sittin rooms completely, and has also donate: curtains for the whole house. Large donations have been recelved from Mrs. Kohl of San Mateo, Mrs. L. L. Baker, Mrs. _dclvor Matthews, physicia has de- cided to allow visitors to call on Tues- days and Thursdays, wetween 2 and 4 . m. It will be a pleasing sight to those who visit the hospital to view the comforta- ble table-chairs, lounges, writing desks, pure white linen, emuoroldered by the young ladies at 16 Post street; table sfl- ver, the gift of Mrs. Kohl: lamps, pic- tures, and, In fact, everything that will add to the comfort of the convalescing boys. Magazines and light reading matter would be gladly accepted by the soclety for use in the new home. Donations were received by the hospitality committee dur- ing the last week from Miss Cerf, Miss Rosenbaum, Miss Loring, Mrs. L. R Baker, Mrs. Gilmore, Mrs. A. W. Scott, Miss Tillinghast, Miss Hastings, Mr. Gulil~ Jette, Mrs. Gibbons, Miss Meyer. Twenty-three hundred and forty lunches have been given to the soldiers during the week by the hon)}{(n“l committee of the Ban Francisco Red Cross Society. Some of the sick who are on their way home come into the hospitality rooms in such a weakened condition that a com- mittee, under Miss Elliott, now looks out for these men, buying their tickets and seeing them safely on the ‘boats. The Jast donations recelved were: From I David P. Marshall, $3; Mrs. L.

H. Metson Jr., a member of the well known legal firm of Reddy, Campbell & Metson, will be appointed to the place on the Board of Park Commissioners left vacant by the expira- tion of the term of Irving M. Scott. Mr. Metson is well qualified in all re- spects for the responsible office to which he will probably be appointed. It is known that Governor Budd offered the place to the late Dr. John F. Morse, but the appointment was withheld at the request of Dr. Morse himself, who hesitated in accepting a trust, involving so much responsibil- ity, in his then condition of health. The appointment of Mr. Metson, when made, will no doubt, prove to be a popular one. GREAT MUSICAL STARS COMING TO THIS CITY L] A GRAND OPERA COMPANY OF‘ 170 PERSONS. Eighteen French, Italian and Ger- man Operas, Including the Three Wagner Master- pieces, Promised. The greatest operatic event in the his- | tory of San Francisco will be the thre weeks' season of the grand opera company which has recently been organized by Charles A. Ellfs, who will bring his com- bination of talent, consisting of 170 per- sons, to this city March next. The com- pany will make the trip from Chicago to the coast without stops. In addition to the speclal train of Pullman cars for the members of the company, there will be a train of seven baggage cars for scenery, properties and effects. The expense of transportation and the rental of Morosco's | Grand Opera House, where the operas are to be produced, will be enormous, yet Mr. Ellis belfeves that the engagement will prove profitable, as he has confidence in San Francisco's pride and ability to sup- pori this great amusement venture. This is the first time that Mr. Morosco has ever consented to allow his house to be used for any other purpose than his own business, although he has had numer- ous tempting offers to deviate from what has been his settled ?0]{?‘4 He is to turn the house over to Mr. Ellls for this en- gagement in a completely renovated con- dition, which will requife its closing for some little time and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. When the people assemble there they will undoubtedly indulge in reminiscences of Pattl, Gerster, the International Opera Company, Irving, Bernhardt and other great stellar attractions in the musical and mimic world that have shone so bril- liantly in this playhouse. While no thought of financial loss is entertained, yet it is not unlikely that a number of wealthy and public-spirited men will raise a guar- antee fund to make the engagement an as- sured fact. The success of the enterprise, however, seems to be beyond question when Melba's recent engagement here is taken as a criterion. There will be operas in French, German and Itallan. The repertolre includes “Ro- meo and Juliette,”” “‘Faus “La Travi- ata,” “The Barber of Se: Lammermoor,” “Rigo 0. “Alda, €8 Huguenots,” “Carmen,” “Mignon,” “Mar- tha,” “Cavalleria_Rusticana,” “I Pagliac- ci.””’ “La Fille du Regiment,” “Lohengrin,” fibers in the human body. “Tannhauser,” “Flying Dutchman,” “Die ‘Siegfried,” “Die Melstersing- he Marriage of Figaro.” he orchestra will be that of the Sym- phony Soclety of New York. The soprani and contralti’ are Mme. Melba, Mme. Gad- ski, Mlle. de Lussan, Mlle. Behune, Mlle. Toronta, Mme. Mattfeld, and Mme. Van Carteren; tenors—M. Bounard, Signor Pandolfini, Herr Krauss, Signor Soler, and Mr. Van Hoose; barytones and bassos —Herr Stury, M. Bensuade, Herr Steh- mann, M. Boudouresque, Mr. Rains, Sig- nor Viviani. It is unnecessary to say anything re- Eardlng Mme. Melba, as she is too well- nown here to need any words of intro- duction. Mme. Gadski {s the leading German lyric singer; Herr Krauss is the greme.[ erman heroic tenor; and Herr Stury is the most renowned German lyric tenor. With these artists and other, Ger- man singers it is made possible to produce the Wagnerian operas and other operas of that class never before presented in San Francisco and In as artistic style as given anywhere in the world. M. Bonnard, the principal French tenor, is from the Royal Opera in Brussels, and sang with Melba at Covent Garden in London this summer. Bignor Pandolfini, a | celebrated young tenor from Italy, comes from the Grand Opera at Rome. Mile. de Lussan, the American, who has received such a brilllant B mpeafi success, sings in French' and Ttallan. . Boudouresque, who ranks in France with Edouard de Reszke, is a brother of the great Boudou- resque of the French Opera. With such stars the production of the French and Italian operas cannot be otherwise than artistically successful. DENIES THE CHARGES. Greenwald Claimg He Never Touched a Registered Letter While in San Quentin. Louis Greenwald, who is accused by Turnkey Jamieson of having abstracted $3 from a registered letter while in San Quentin, makes a complete denial of the accusation. “I used to assist Jamieson in his of- fice and clipped the ends off the letters which he inspected, but I never touched a registered letter. I remember this cne letter addressed to Bayard Saville in par- tisular and saw Jamieson open it. That was at least six months ago. “Ncw that I am away from the prison and unable to protect myself, he tries to cast all the blame upon me.

A PROVIDENT TRUST | Dr. PLANS NO CAPITAL REQUIRED TO START ON. In a Year the Doctor Believes That a Big Membership and a Full Treasury Would Be’ Developed. A unique and comprehensive scheme for the “extinction of poverty’’ has been evolved by Dr. August Greth, the well- known physician of this city. He pro- poses to found a vast co-operative asso- clation, or rather a series of associations, which shall offer to any man or woman who is willing to work the necessaries and even the luxuries of iife. This new organization is to be entitled the “Provi- dent Trust Society.” . The scheme is of the same general character as that of | Debs' Soclal Democracy, but it Is so In-} geniously planned that the usual diffi- culties attending the launching of a soclalistic enterprise may be obviated. No capital will be needed to start on. The work is to begin on a safe and sim- ple basis and advance by chapters of development, growing gradually more comprehensive until a full industrial 8ys- tem, the features of which shall be pail- anthropy, fraternity and co-operation, is substituted for the competitive system. Dr. Greth {s the author of a book, which is now nearly off the press—an ablé treat- ise on industrial co-operation, in which 1:: outlined the plan of the new organiza- ton. Membership in the soclety will be ar- ranged in nve classes. In class No. 1 the dues are to be §1 per month. Members of this class will receive the services of a physician and dentist free of charge and medicines and deatal material at cost. An additional dollar per month will secure admission to class 2, the members of which are entitled to a weekly sick bene- fit of $10. Another dollar per month ad- mits the member to class 3, in which he is entitled to admission to the ‘society hospital, if desired. A dollar a mont] more is required for membership-in class 4, where the insurance feature appears. The member of this class can take out a life policy for $10 and by paying an- other dollar per month will secure a $2000 policy. The policy may be drawn when the member becomes disabled through disease or upon reaching the age of 60 years; or he may draw the greater part of the policy for investment, provided that the investment is such as to admit of the soclety retaining control over it. Class 5, membership in which calls for an ad- ditional dollar per month, affords a per- manent home for members disabled through sickness or accident or who have reached the age limit. Class 1 is to be the basis of the society —the sun from which the succeeding classes will develop. All must join this class before, becoming a member of any of the others. There will be but this one class in the beginning, and class 2 will not -be instituted until suflicient. funds are on hand ;to make it practicable. Chil- en under 16 years will be admitted to classes 1 and 3 only. Those belonging to all five classes receive free burial at death, and where two parents who are members of all five classes leave chil- dren unprovided far, such children are to be taken care of by the society in an institution to be provided for tae purpose. A stational or State central body 1s dispensed with, and the county is made the unit of organization. District branches within the county are provided or. The funds of the society will be origin- ated and maintained entirely l:{zmyment of dues In the five classes and from the money which shall thus accrue it is pro- posed to pay all the benefits and confer all the privileges. The feature which is expected to assure the success of the soclety is the provision for rebates on all purchases of the neces- saries of life which shall be made at various stores in all lines of business, which have agreed to glve a rebate of 6 to 15 per cent on all goods purchased by members. large number of ‘leading wholesalers and retailers of, this ecity have so agreed, considering it a good business proposition. In this way the monthly dues will be returned to the members. The dues are payable in these rebate checks. Hence the members will receive all the benefits of the soclety free of cost. The society will hold social and educa- tlonal meetings at regular intervals, ad- misston to which will be free to all, mem- bers and others. When a sufficlent membership is se- cured co-utera.lh’e roduction is. to be cautlously begun and gradually extend- ed, the ultimate aim being to afford em- ployment to all members. . Checks, in- stead of coin, are to be used as a medium of exchangg. The various trades will be orinnized into unions, each controlled by a board of managers. The soclety will deal directly with these boards instead of the individuals. When sufficient funds have accrued it is intended to supply the necessary means of production, and also the market for the products. # A board of nine directors will have charge of the affairs of the socfety in each county, and its action will be inde- pendent of all other boards, subject only to the provisions of the constitution and by-laws. v The projector of this colossal scheme, Dr. Greth, feels the utmost confidence that the soclety will uiumately accom- plish all that is designed. When inter- vl?;ved upon the subject yesterday he said: “I know that at the first glance it seems a vast undertaking, with nimerous possibilities of failure when the more complex features are initiated. But for ten years past I have been studying the subject and shaping the plan of the or- ganization, profiting by the experiences and errors of like attempts in the past, adopting those methods which experience has proved to be successful, .scarding those which have failled and devising others necessary to forward the work of 3 soclety differing in many important par- fculars from any that has ever existed. 1 bave submitted the [f)ilan in its entirety to the most successful financiers and have received favorable opinions in every in- stance. By these gentlemen the plan has been pronounced sound and practical in all its features. Its success will be due to the enormous saving made possible by a large number of people co-operating in the purchase of the necessaries of life, When you come to consider that through ihe n{sxem of rebates on purchases the so- clety offers all of its far-reaching bene- fits practically free of cost, there can be no doubt of its succcss, about ready to begin the enrollment of members in class No. 1. About 200.per- sons have already stated their willingness to join, and-over seventy business houses have offered to sign our reoate agreement. ‘We have also secured the services of a sufficlent number of leading physicians and dentists. Within a year I expect the society to have a nrembership of 20,000 and a working capital of $100,000 or more.” DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. Simon Lafferty, a Laborer, Was Struck by an Electric Car. A. D."

HIS LICENSE IS REVOKED UNITED STATES CONSUL W]fLD- MAN’S DISPATCH BOAT LOST. Supposed to Have Gone Down in a Typhoon While on Her Way From Hongkong to § Manila. The Occidental and Orfental Company’s | steamer Coptic arrived from Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu yesterday with sixty-eight cabin and eighteen Eu- ropean steerage passengers and 401 Chi- nese. The run from Honolulu was miade in the fast time of five days twenty hours and forty-eight minutes. The transports Arizona and Scandia were both in Honolulu when the mall steamer arrived. The Arizona made a very fast trip down, and would have broken the record had she not been delayed by a slight acccident to her machinery. The Coptic brings the news that Cap- tain W. D. Cameron of the British steamer Amarapoora has been suspended for six months for the careless naviga- tion of his vessel in Chinese waters. The Amarapoora was a most unfortunate ves- sel, and her agents here were never out of hot water while she was on the coast. She was libeled in almost. every port from Panama to Puget Sound, and she oniy got away from Tacoma after set- tling a libel suit brought by the crew. After Captain Cameron had settled all his troubles he loaded the Amarapoora with lumber for Taku, China. A few weeks later he had to put into Yoko- hama with the machinery out of order. Then more lawsuits followed, and it was mionths before the véssel was réepalred and everything settled. On May 2 last another start was made, and five days later she was run ashore on the south- east promontory of Shantung. A board of inquiry, held in Shanghal last month, decided that the Amarapoora was suffi- clently manned and seaworthy, but that the necessary charts were not aboard, and that Captain Cameron navigated his vessel in a reckless manner. He was granted a mate’s certificate during his six months' suspension ag master. The crew of the Amarapoora have not | recelved a cent of pay since they left Tacomea last year, and they are now try- ing to have the vessel and cargo sold In order to get something out of the wreck. The wreck of the American ship Bar- ing Bros. was sold at auction while the Coptic was at Yokohama, and the cap- tafn and crew will come home on the next steamer. ; The hull cannot have been as badly damaged as at first supposed, as it brought 5200 yen (about $3000), while the manganese ore which formed part of her cargo brought 2500 yen,-and the salved portion of her cargo. of curios 667 yen. The burning of the ship is shroud- ed in mystery, as the consular court of inquiry threw no light on the subject whatever. The Coptic brings the news from Hong- kong that the American steamer Wing- foo, Captain Sherman, is supposed to have gone down with ail hands. During the war United States Consul General Wildman chartered the ngfoo 'to car- ry dispatches to Admiral Dewey at Ma- nila. The little vessel (she is only 67 tons burden) got badly battered in a storm and had to put back to Hongkong without delivering her dispatches. She was then chartered to carry a load of kerosene to an American firm in Manila. Soon_ after she left Hongkong she was caught in a storm and had to put into St. -Johns Island with her boilers shifted. After repairing another start was made, and being caught in another gale she had lg put into Herling San Harbor for shel- ter. Captain S8herman put into Hoikow. She was_again ‘fixed up and her bow headed for Manila, since which time she has not been heard of, and her owners fear that she has gone down in a typhoon. /The_steam schooner Laguna arrived from Bear Harbor yesterday with the re- mains of First Mate Smith of the steamer Westport aboard. Smith lost his life through the ship's boat capsizing whilo he was running a line from the Westport to the wharf. His body was not recov- ered until after the Westport sailed for San Francisco. Frank Peterson of Stockton has a griev- ance sgainst the harbor police. He lost a,$0 bill_on the steamer T. C. Walker, so he says, and is mad all over because Captam Dimleavy did not recover it the moment the steamer docked. Peterson left- Stockion with avewed -intention -of showing the San Francisco Native Sons how to celebrate Admission day. He paid for a round-trip ticket and then had three $50 bills.and some loose change left. The bills he thrust carelessly into his coat pocket and the change into his trou- sers pocket and then went to bed. In the morning one of the bills was gone. He was distracted over his loss, telling Ser- geant Tom Mahoney again and again that he couldn’t begin to have a celebration on $100. That sum was all. right - for —a starter, but he must have that other 3t0 to wind up the day on. He got out.a John Doe warrant, but hadn’t the faintest idca whom he wanted arrested, and then he thought it would be a good idea to libel the ship, but couldn’t do it because of the holiday. Finally .Peterson. started up town to celebrate on the $100. *The pllot boat Bonita went out with a large. party of excursionists yesterday. The yachts were followed during the rac- ing and a most enjoyable time was spent. Among those who went on the Bonita were President E. P. Eppinger, Secretary’ HT, Emer% and Chief Clerk J. Dailey of the Merchants’ Exchange. There were plenty of picnics yesterday and the new ferry depot was crowded in consequence all day. The League of the Cross Cadets were the first to get away for Glen Ellen, and they were followed by the St. Bremdan’s parishioners, who went_to Shell Mound Park, St. Patrick’s parishioners;, who went to Schuetzen Park, and the Ploneers, who went to EI Campo. .The steamship Australia, which sailed on' her first voyage since her release as a troop ship by the Government. Septem- ber 1, would 8ail on her next regular date, September 21; but it has been found that she will he detained several days longer in Honolulu, and her next date of sailing from San Francisco has accordingly been set for Saturday, September 24. tth this alteration the regular schedule of dates will in all likelihood be maintained. George Hefferdine, of the Unlversity of California, swam the:Golden Gate yes- terday. He crossed from Lime Point and was accompanied by J. P. Dean and Gus raacha in a boat. G The tugs Monarch and Rescue start to- day to tow another raft of sawn lumber here from Astoria. Two others have reached here in a broken up condition, but. the builders are not discouraged Under a Chinese Laundry Wagon. Evangeline Lennon, a-little girl aged seven years, was run.over by a Chinese laundry wagon driven by Gong' Wah on San Carlos avenue yesterday afternoon. The little girl, whose parents reside at 366 San Carlos avenue, on finding that she was not injured, declined to Have the Chinaman arrested. The Mongolian on seeinf what he had done became terribly frightened. As soon as he found it safe he ran away like a scared wolf, leaving his wagon and con- tents behind to take care of itself. He returned, however, on being assured that no-injury would be inflicted. Swallowed a Needle and Died. A taflor in Chicago accidentally swallowed a needle and died as a result of the inflam- mation set up by the small needle. Little things frequently have great power, as s seen in a few small doses of the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, however, has an en- tirely different effect from the needle in this notice, The Bitters make nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and well again. They are &o0d for dyspepsia and coustfpation. Another start, another storm, and7] HIS RESCUER CAME 100 LATE Jas. Kennedy Drowned Off Hunters Point. HAD BEEN SAVED ONCE JUMPED AFTER HIS HAT AND SAVED BY A BOATMAN. The Same Man Tried to Beach Him the Second Time bu Failed in the At~ tempt. James Kennedy was drowned in the bay off Hunters Point yesterday after- | noon after having been once rescued by Martin Burnett, who is employed on the wharf. Burnett made an attempt | to. save Kcanedy the second time he | saw the man in the water, but failed to reach him before he sank. Kennedy, with a companion named Hutchinson, had been fishing on the wharf during the afternoon. Shortly before 4 o’clock Kennedy's hat blew into the water and he being slightly intoxicated jumped in after it. Bur- nett noticed that Kennedy was making but little progress toward shore after reaching his hat so took a boat and brought the man safely to the wharf. | A half-hour after this Kennedy was in | the water again and according to per- | sons who saw him he seemed to be showing his friend how well he could swim. He soon began to call for help and Burnett again went after him in a boat, but reached him too late. The police, to whom the drowning was reported, believe that Kennedy was taken with a cramp, but no one who saw the affair seems to know just how he came to be in the bay the second time. It was at first reported that Kennedy had jumped from the boat after Burnett pulled him from the water and another story is that he lost his hat a second time and went after it again. The body went down inside the cur- rent where the water is twenty-five or thirty feet deep, but employes on the wharf think it can be recovered to-day. Kennedy was employed by the Union Iron Works. He was a married man and leaves two children besides the widow. The family lives at the corner of Twenty-eighth and Sanchez streets. CASSIUS N..
