Such | missives as ‘were not for the eyes of her parents were left elsewhere. For almost a year she had been recelving mail from | Mantel, in all probability, in secret. In the pocket of the dead man was found | a card upon. which was written “‘Miss | Delia Leslie, care of Miss Lizzie Keegan, 134 Powell street.”” To a representative of The Call Miss Keegan stated that “Mfss | time. Mentan’s age is hers as .20. Both claimed ¢ their natlvltg with residence at San Ra- fael.. They did not stay in San Jose, as no. trace of the couple can be found at -the hotels. Mentel or Mentan or Mantel had evidently ‘been masquerading urder two names, for the records of Recorder Owens’ office show that the recorded li- cense was mailed. according to instruc- tions, to W. F. Mentel on November 18. Yesterday morning Dr. Porter told Mrs. Mantel, noy in jail at Oakland, that her shots were fatal and that she was a mur- deress. He did not tell her in such blunt language, but he conveyed the fact to her very forcibly, and, girl-like, she affected an indifference which she could not maintain.- She.expressed for a few mo- ments nelther sorrow nor satisfaction, but when darker pictures of the future Eassed before her she broke down, cried itterly and asked to be left alone. Theé parents of the young murderess went over yesterday .morning and spent several hours with their daughter: Mr. Beth left the jail at lunchtime, but the mother was closeted with her child till evening. From Anna's lips they learned for the first time, so they both declare, the story of her infatuation for and mar- riage to Willlam Frank Mantel The wound inflicted on herself imme- diately after shooting her hustund .s uo more serious than was at first supposed. The bullet glanced off the skull and left no permanent injury. This morning Dr. Porter consented to the young woman's removal to the County Jail, where she will remain until tried for her crime. Beyond a little fever and excitement not at all unnatural, the girl Is in her usual health and able to converse intelligently. She repeated the story of the shooting ven as 27 and California _as The police have in their possession the woman’s hand satchel. She claimed that it contained evidence proving her mar- riage to Mantel. While the officers will not permit an examination of the con- tents, they assert there is nothing in the satchel that will throw any light on the tragedy. There is an eléction card of John W. Glass, City Justice of SangJose, and a number of business cards of Miss Lizzie Keegan of 13¢ Powell street, San Francisco. The police are searching for a mysteri- ous woman who visited Alameda to-day and viewed the body of Mantel, after which she told a story to Bruno Steinmetz, a member of the Alameda Fire Depart- ment, which may throw some light on the case.’ The identity of the woman is kept a profound secret, although it is known she is a resident of San Francisco. She said Mrs. Mantel dressed her hair early yesterday afternoon. During the op- eration she told of her troubles with her husband and said she was going to Ala- meda to find him and kill him. The wo- man says she took the girl's pistol from her and only returned it when Mrs. Man- tel promised she would not carry out her murderous threat. Drs. Buteau, Keyes and Lubbock per- formed an autopsy on the remains this | evening and traced the course of the bul- lets. The Coroner’s inquest will be held to-morrow evening.

He was not a financial sus ss, and was idle a great deal between | his spells of employment. He never had | anything except & minimum of dollars and a good suit of clothes. However, his old employers speak well of him, and his good character went toward helping him into | an honest if not a well pald job. He was employed by Dr. H. L. Wagner of this | city in a humble capacity for four yeai | and seeing that his poverty would prevent him going through the medical school, he turned his attention to some other means of livelihood. His light weight impelled | him to try the life of a jockey, and he worked at the Hobart stables for some time. He left that situation and was em- Iilnred by Dr. d’Evelyn as a sort of col- ector. Afterward he worked in the leather establishment of Nichols & Co. A short time ago he called at the office of Dr. C. C. Wadsworth, 1104 Van Ness av- enue, seeking employment. He was per- mitted to solicit for a medical publication on commission. This record :{tro\'es that Mantel finan- clally was hardly a fit candidate for mat- rimony, and Anna Beth had some reason for keeping her mariage a secret from the proverbially stern parent. By Willlam Mantel's intimate friends his wife's assertion that he abused and threatened her with bodily harm is char- acterized as preposterous. They describe him as a little, mild chap, not capable of harming a kitten. Gentle and inoffensive even to effeminacy is the character they give the man his wife shot down without a moment’s warning. Among those who give this testimony concerning the dead man are Edward Ayers, druggist at the corner of Leavenworth and Eddy streets, and S. F. Hughes, corner of Post and 15 also a well-known fact among his nearest associates that he feared the woman who ended his life. L. C. Hof- man, grocer, corner of Eddy and Leaven- worth streets, states that Mantel was in the store about two weeks ago. He was very much depressed and confessed that he was in deep trouble “over a woman.” ‘With some reluctance, as he was very close about his private affairs, he said that it was a Miss Beth and that she was fearfully jealous. She had even threat- ened him. Several days ago he came into the store and when questioned by his friend about “‘that affair” answered that it was “worse.” He did not state that he.and Miss Beth were married, but left the impression on the mind of his hearer that no wedding had taken place. “‘Hofman,” he said, “never get tangled up with a woman. Of all troubles a man r got into that {s the worst.” 1 can’t believe that Mantel abused and -treated his wife,” said Mr. Hofman, He was not of that kind. He was one of the tenderest hearted little fellows I ever saw. I also know his wife, as the Beths once lived in this neighborhood. She was a very nice girl, very reserved and lady- like. She was large and strong enough to have picked him up and carried th around the block. He was about four and | a half feet high and weighed probably 120 pounds. Why did she use a gun on the poor little fellow? He was a customer in the store, and often when he was broke bought groceries here. He was perfectl honest and always paid hisebills. I thinl the poor little chap has an account on my books of 15 cents, the price of a pur- | chase a day or so ago. ““Mantel was a gentleman in appearance as well as in soul.

She says | that Mantel was not a caller at their home in San Francisco and was not | known to her fatuer. She admitted that | before she left home she took her fath- r's revolver, anticipating trouble, as antel had recently been very threaten- | g in his language toward her. | ““‘We kept our wedding a secret,” she | said this morning, “‘and intended to do About @ week ago my | husband told me that I was not his wife and that our marriage was a Sham, and | as though_he would like us to part company. I could not _entertain such an idea for a moment, and when he took to threatening me it was than I could stand. Before I shot he had struck me, and then I concluded it was time to defend myself. I do not | know the name of the man who married | us in_San Jose, but we went there from | San Francisco.’ On our return I did not tell my mother, but I have the certificate | and can prove that everything was legal.” Police Sergeant John Conrad of Alameda | swore to the complaint to-day before Jus- tice of the Peace Morris, charging Mrs. Anna Mantel with the crime of murder. The remains of the dead man are laid out at the Morgue in exactly the same the Dep- | uty Coroner. His right hand is in his trousers pocket, and this fact will be used to offset the claim of the woman that she did the shooting in self-defense, and that her husband was in the act of striking her when she fired the fatal bullets: Eclipse Expedition to India in 1898.

A SLAVE T0 THE PUNCHING BAG. Actress Minnie Packard’s Hobby the Cause of Many Fines for Missing Her Cue. INNIE PACKARD, who plays the part of the young ‘‘chappie” in “Gayest Manhattan,” now on at M training of pugilists. degree. She has had a punching bag* hotel, and not a day passes but the athletic Minnie devotes two or three hours in making it perform count- Jess gyrations.. She has become quite an adept in the art and has devel- oped much muscle by the violent ex- ercise. But Minnie’s hobby has well nigh been the cause of her undoing, and it all came about in this way: When the company was rehearsing on last Monday afternoon Minnie began to wander about in the fond hope that she would find a punching bag con- nected with the place and her search was rewarded, for one had just been erected in the carpenter’s loft. The delighted Minnie immediately began to work on it, after donning a pair of boxing gloves which she found on the floor. She grew so interested that she forgot all about the rehear- sal on the stage. ‘When her cue came she was not on hand to take it up. Ten minutes passed by and messengers were dis- patched in all directions to find her, and she was finally located in the very heat of her favorite occupation by one of the colored pickaninnies who accompany the show. He in- formed her that she was wanted to by the stage manager in indignant habit, at least while rehearsal was mania for punching the bag, which latter enters so largely in the The passion for the fascinating sport made its appearance some months ago and has increased to an alarming respond to her cue, and when she made her way to the stage she was met by the scowling faces of her waiting companions and the announcement $5 for missing your cue.” This she paid forthwith: Now it would appear that this experience would have broken her of the day another rehearsal was called, and when her opportunity came Minnie, feeling the strong grasp of the habit, slipped away unobserved to the car- penter’s shop and was soon engaged in the delights of bag punching. Again she kept the stage waiting, and again she was fined. This occurred five times, and Minnie had parted with $25. She was only cured of the ‘ habit when the punching bag was taken out make a punching bag out of the stage manager, and the latter is, dis- the Columbia Theater, has a perfect first erected in her apartments at the 1898.

GALLAGHER'S NAME HISSED WARM MASS MEETING IN GOLD- EN GATE HALL. A Fund Has Been Subscribed and the Courts Will Be Requested to Enforce Payment of Salaries. The school teachers of this city, at a meeting held in Golden Gate Hall yester- day afternoon, unanimously decided to sue the Board of Education for their No- vember salaries. v At about half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afterncon the little music hall on Sutter street looked like a woman's rights as- semblage. But it was not a woman's rights gathering, and a closer look at the stormy sea of vexed faces would show that these were not the kind of people usually found at such meetings. They were the pretty schoolma'ams of San Francisco,and theyhad assembledto see if there was not some balm in Gilead after all, some rest for the weary and some money for the moneyless. . They bad not borrowed Diogenes’ lantern and started in search of an honest man; they are too well acquainted with the School Board to start on any such fool's errand, but they did want to find some method of getting their salaries for No- vember — those salaries earned by the sweat of the brow and castigation of the rising generation. ‘ Christmas, with its bright vacation days and open hearts, is at hand, but the School Board has decreed that there shall be no consequent indigestion in the families of the teachers. here will not be salary enough to buy a stick of can- dy and a tin whistle. This is what caused the stormy session in GoldenGate Hall yesterday afternoon, and there was not a School Director who dared come near enough the bullding to attempt an explanation, Once during - the meeting the name of Director Gallagher was cas- ually mentioned, and the chorus of hisses and groans with which it was greeted would‘hnve made that worthy feel uke a lead ten-cent piece with a hole in it. ~ The meeting was formally .opened by Albert Logan, Erlnclpa.l of the John Swett School, who suggested that Super- intendent Webster be placed in the chair. Mr. Webster's election was unanimous, tones, “Miss Packard, you are fined going on, but it didn't. The next Minnie has threatened to creetly thinking of remitting the fines. as was that of Mr. Marks of Everett School for secretary. The chairman then introduced Mr. Bartlett, a teacher who is also well versed in ways of laws, School Boards and other queer things. ‘At the ()]',\enln?l of the fiscal year,” said Mr.. Bartlett, “‘the School Board practi- cally. makes a contract with each teacher for one year. This is always the first contract made and it has therefore prece- dence over any contracts entered into at a later date. We have, therefore, the first claim on all moneys held by the board or at its disposal. I suggest that we appoint a committee to employ a competent attorney, who will petition the Supreme Court for an injunction and a writ of mandamus. The former 11 re- from paying moneys to present us our November warrants. This is the quickest and safést method.” Several of the teachers took the floor and concarred with Mr. Bartlett. In fact, about the only dis~-~.ting voice came from ex-Superintendent Babcock in the rear of the hall. He said he was satisfied that the salaries wou.u all be paid with- out any difficulty. If this board could not do it the next one would.. i ‘W. D. Kingsbury dzot up in opposition to Mr. Babcock and favored immediate action. ““We have submitted to so much already,” he said, “‘that Boards of Edu- cation ‘actually seem to think they can do just as they choose and we will not dare say anything. For months the employes of the office of the board have been get- ting their warrants on the 1st of the month, while we are forced to wait until the 5th. This thing has gone on long enough, and I move that a committee be appointed to employ counsel and take the necessary legal steps. If this body does not take action as a whole 1 know that I, for one, will file a suit for my salary. Mr. Kingsbury’s motion prevailed and a committee was appointed, consisting of C. H. Murphy of tue Polytechnic High School, L. Bartlett of the evening schools, Albert Lyser of the John Swett | Grammar School, W. D. Kingsbury of the | Horace Mann School, Miss Asneés Man- ning of the Webster School and Miss Emma Stinson of the Whittier Primary. The teachers will assess themselves 1 ner cent of a month’s salary to pay the ex- penses of the suit. —_————— This Week’s Wasp.

The merchants and property owners on the line of Polk street from Sutter street to Pacific avenue are of one mind in so far as the repavement of Polk street is concerned. ;One of the chief objects now before the Polk-street Progress Club is to have the basalt blocks taken up and a pavement of bitumen put down in- stead. The members say that Polk street as a business thoroughfare is among the most important in the western portion of the city, and as such should be provided with a modern pavement. It is being urged by some of the mem- bers of the club that as private streets in almost all parts of the city have been paved with bitumen there is no reason why Polk street should be longer neglect- ed.” Thig street is one of the oldest out- side business streets in the city and yet, except what has been done on the im- rovement of it by private contribution, t has received less from the public treas- ury than any other business street in the city. In the meantime there is no other, except it be Market street, that is as much subjected to heavy teaming, as it is the main route to the northwest- ern. portion of the city as also to the Presidio and Black Point military reser- ‘vations. One reason why-the repaving of this street with bitumen was not sooner ad- vocated was because some of the prop- erty owners had thought that the heavy traffic which passes along that way would so cut up thé® modern pavement as to make it too expensive on the taxpayers to keep it in repair. But now that Mar- ket street has received a coating of ofl rock there are no further objections raised to following suit on Polk street. At all events the Progress Club is determined to urge the matter before the incoming Board of Supervisors in the near future. —_—————————— Tint of mat and atylt;l of mo;!dlntg collx(l- to secure harmonious.effect make gle‘;euduful Plctures of ordinary ~rints.

An informal pro- gramme of music and recitations had been arranged and was successfully car- ried out under the direction of Mrs. E. Q, Smith. The pupils are boys and girls of tender years. The lads are taught the art of sewing on buttons, against the day such an accomplishment may be of use to them. The ladies in charge were pleased with the interest taken in their exhibition.
