Hearst. For some years her manager has endeavored to induce her to build an ornamental ateway in keeping with the place. To all is solicitations she has had but one an-| swer. She could not afford the expense The woman whose contributions to char- ave been enormous could not find it in her heart to spend a small amount for | herself. Her thoughts are all for the good of the people at large. DANGER NOW REMOVED. Wreckers Have Done Good Work on | Baldwin Walls. | The work of razing the walls of the| Baldwin Hotel continued yesterday, | though the force of wreckers was much smaller than during the week. A con-| siderable portion of the fifth story on the | Powell-street side was pulled down. The | crowd of onlookers was greater than it | has been for several days past and the | detail of police had difficulty in keeping | the curious out of harm’'s way. Thou- | sands of persons who wished to take the ! outward bound Powell-street cars were | compelled to go to the corncr of Ellis to embark.

TRUETT DIED OF A BROKEN HEART UT at her Twelfth-street home Mrs. Inez Truett lies dead of a broken heart, and upon the six children, whom she has left to mourn her, has descended the grief of a_double bereatement. Just one week before the death of the mother the life of the father, E. M. Truett of the White Sewing Machine Company, was crushed out by an elevator under the side- walk in front of the Y. M. C. A. building, on Ellis street. He had gone to the basement to close the elevator doors and in some manner he be- came entangled in the never-too-certain machinery and two hours later his crushed, bleeding body was carried home to the'wife who awaited him. And from that dread moment began her decline. All of the loving sym- pathy of her five daughters and of the faithful son, who was at her side in the time of jher greatest sorrow, availed nothing. Her sorrow at the loss d, with whom she had fought through years of hardest adver- sity, and with whom she was only just ready to begin the enjoyment of thelr years of labor and hardship, was not the grief that is soothed and There was but one solace, eternal relief, and that came to her peacefully on Saturday night, a week almost to the hour, after the death of her husband. To mourn her she leaves five daughters and two sons, one of whom, M. §. Truett, is in New York, and has yet to hear of the bereavement that has come to him. The daughters all reside in this city and were with their mother at her death. They are Mrs. Willlam F. Flynn, Mrs. J. C. Sepul- ba and Edith, Marian and Grace Truett. responsible position with Cluff & Co., the Front-street merchants. Mrs. Truett was one of the pioneer women of the State. In the early ‘months of 1852 she left her New Orleans home and with her parents sailed around the Horn for the new El Dorado. They settled in the mines, and it was not until '58 that she met Mr. Truett, who had also come out in the early '50s to dig his fortune out of the hills of the Sierras. Later in the vear they were married and ten years ago came to live at 132 Twelfth 5 Of late years the husband had been connected with the White Sewing Machine people and had also managed a furniture establishment By dint of hard work, in which his faithful wife was always an equal sharer, he had bullt himself up a modest fortune, and was about to leave business cares to his children for the enjoyment of his years, when fate’s hand drew him to his untimely death. Into this the Wife has shortly followed, and to the children is left the example and the Deceased was 53 years of age and a native of New Orleans.

A Marked Contrast to Many Torpedo Boats Built in Eastern fards. The success of the Farragut in attaining the high speed of over 30 knots is another triumph for the contractors and a credit to the Pacific Coast. The new torpedo- boat's achievement demonstrates the fact that the mechanics in-this city can turn out the best all-around war vessels, from the ponderous armored battle-ship of 10.- 000 tons down to the comparatively small boat of 240 tons, of any in the country. There is a vast difference between these two extremes of war vessels specified, and especially in their machinery. The Ore- gon's motive power weighs 1009 tons and developed 11,111 horsepower, giving eleven horseawer to each ton, while in the Far- ragut the weight is only 120 tons, but the horsepower about 5600—or one-half that of the Oregon—which shows nearly fifty horsepower per ton weight of engines and boilers. It is obvious that in order to ob- tain so large a power frgm!so smn[llha ity of material the design must be Y 94 The material and workman- s ss. D I muise for felicitation I that the Farragut came u- to the requirements on her second official trial, and that no se- THous accidents on her builder’s trial nor on the first official effort have raised any doubt as_to the craft's future usefulnes: Eastern builders have not been so fortu- | nate, and none of their boats have slipped into the navy so easily as did the San ) sco built craft. P’rrah"pdrnuowmg tauie shows the torpedo- | boats built for and accepted in the navy. | Several more are ‘0“% overdue from the contractors, some of them yet undergoh’\g: trials and others still untried: UNITED STATES TORPEDO BOAT FLEET. | 3 | Speed. 8l a Fo ] NAMES. g ] 2 wETIET Ericsson S Cushing - 106 | 22 Davis 12 | 2.5 Du Pont. 165 | 2.3 Farragut - 2401 30 Foote . 142 | 24.53 Gwin . s McKes 73 | 20 Morrt .| 58|25 Porte: Q18 | 2715 | Rodgers s e S a3rd 243 Winslow trial speeds of the Ericsson, Davis ar;{ih;‘arr u? are the unofficlal figures. As to ltfie records of these thirteen boats, that of the Farragut is the most satisfactory in having run. its race with only one mistrial. The Hereshoff Bros., at Bristol, R. L, veteran builders of the fastest small steam craft in this country, bullt the Cushing, Du Pont, Gwin, Morris, Porter and Talbot, and some of these hoats had several unsuccessful trials. The Cushing and Du Pont ha the Porter developed defects after pre- liminary acceptance, which had to be made good. The Ericsson, built at Du- buque, Jowa, made half a dozen vain at- tempts to reach her contract speed, and was finally accepted. The Foote, McKee, Rodgers and Winslow were built at Bal- timore. On the first trial of the Foote three men were scalded, and on the second effort she slipped into the service. The Rodgers required five trials, during one of which bursted tubes scalded five men, and during two prior attempts to reach the required speed the machinery broke down. The McKee was accepted during the late war without coming up to the contract. The sad accident of the Davis, bullt at Portland, when seven men were scalded to death, was followed by a second suc- cessful trial. The Mackenzie, buflt Hillman, Philadelphia, is not yet accep! Her first trial resulted In the scalding of four men and a bad break in the machin- ery, and she has not yet come forward for another endeavor to get up to the contract speed. Accidents to torpedo boats while trying to come up to the requirements are by no means confined to this country alone, and some pretty bad casualties to men and | breakdowns of machinery occur abroad; but it is a matter of much gratification that In the first attempt to produce such a phenomenally epeedy craft as the Far- ragut no accidents whatever have oc- curred. —_——————— LIEUTENANT NOLAN ILL. The Tacoma Will Sail for Manila ‘With Mules This Week. The many friends of First Lieutenant James Nolan of the Fourth Cavalry will | bé sorry to learn that he is dangerously ill with pneumonia at the Presidio. Lieutenant Nolan contracted a severe cold some time ago and neglected to take the proper care of himself. On Wednes- day he was forced to take to his bed and has been in a dangerous condition ever since. He is being attended by Surgeon Major Moseley, U. 8. A., and a specialist from the city. At present he has a trained nurse in attendance and every- thing possible is belng, done for him. His physicians hope for the best, and yester- they considered that there was a slight improvement in his condition. he transport Tacoma will probably sail for Manila this week with 100 mules on board. At Honolulu ninety more of the animals will be taken on. The expedition will be under the command_ of First Lieutenant O'Shea of the Fourth Cavalry. The Tacoma has been at the Union Iron Works for the past two months being fitted out for the voyage. One trip has already been made by the vessel to Manila with horses and mules. Lieutenant Cameron d three trials, and | ed, | | | of chain it weighed about 2000 pounds and | ly out of the water to render the vessel BAY PIRATES PROFITABLY RAID A SCOW Left Only a Pair of Trousers. TOMCAT DEWEY SAVED THEM A GOOD DAY ON THE BAY FOR LOST ANCHORS. Again the New Ferry Wharf Destroy- er Berkeley Opens War on the Piles of Her Slip. The United States transport Tacoma, a salling ship used to carry livestock for the Government, has been refittedstill she is a floating palace stable, with all the modern improvements. Electric lights for fllumination; electric fans and blasts for driving pure air among the horses and mules far down between decks, padded stalls for the protection of the animals when the ship tosses on the stormy seas; little grain cars that run along their tiny track between the rows of stalls, carry- ing to each horse his twelve pounds of hay and two quarts of oats per day; can- vas hammocks, which are slung under the horse and the halyards made taut to support him when he is weary of stand- ing or is seasick. The Tacoma came yesterday morning from the Union Iron Works and is now moored at Beale-street wharf. In her former trip to Honolulu the cargo of horses suffered considerably from heat and the rolling of the vessel. Then dark- ness of their quarters also contributed to their discomfort and uneasiness. Now, | for the next trip a perfect system runs through the whole vessel. The 200 stalls are about three feet wide, just sufficient room for the animal to stand in one posi- tion, but he has his hammock which will support his body when it is his watch be- low. The upper stalls are lighted by large windows, but those on the lower deck are provided with electric lamps. During calm days the animals will be exercised on deck. Connected with the Tacoma are twenty- eight soldiers of the Fourth United States Cavalry and thirteen packers, under com- mand of Lieutenant Shay, U. 8. A. In about ten days the ship will sail for Manila with 200 mules on board. As a result of the fire on board the ehip Shenandoah it i{s found that consid- erable damage was done, the wooden lin- ing of the lower hold having, been burned out. Some time Saturday night the scow Witch of the Bay was entered by un- known visitors and her cabin despoiled of everything _portable except the cook’s trousers. That officer explains the sav- ing of this article of his wardrobe by the fact that his black cat, Dewey, a frightful looking feline, whom nobody dare tackle, was sleeping on them. Captain Hedge lost $1 10 and his clothing. Mate Peterson was relieved of his uniform and his purse con- taining 65 cents, while Cook Rube is out $4 50 and all of his fine raiment except the unmentionables referred to. Yesterday Captain Whitelaw made a good drag haul. It was the bower anchor of the Itallan cruisér Etna, which she lost while unmooring ship a few days ago. It is of cast steel, weighing three tons, and worth over $1000. Attached to it are thirty fathoms of chain worth about $600. The schooner W. F. Jewett did a little fishing on her own account while getting up anchor off Meiggs Wharf Saturday athrnoon. The weight of their anchor and chain appalled the laboring crew. The winch groaned and creaked as the usually light mud hook slowly came up. When it was In sight the mystery was explain- Thelr anchor had dug up a companion {md had brought | its ten fathoms from the mud of the ba it to the surface. Witl n lost a long time. The new lerr{ boat Berkeley had an- other setto with her slip-piles Saturday night. She was coming in with a huge load of passengers about 8 o’clock, and on nearing the landing on this side the passengers| crowded on to the forwai end of the Boat. This lifted the after end, holsting the then acting rudder sufficient- had evidently ageable. She ducked her head low ;’lg'en:'r‘u e‘nrn ed bull and charged the out- er point of the slip, clipping about a dozen piles off close to the er's edge. INFLUENCE OF THE HOME. Eloquent Address at St. Mary's Church by Rev. J. McCorry. “The Corner-stone of the Republic,” was the subject which the Rev. J. McCorry chose for an eloquent sermon last evening at St. Mary’s Church. The preacher in expanding the text cited the home as the great soclal organization upon which the destiny of the entire nation rests. “In the home,” l;: nnidl. “Is found the truest s thy. rom it emanates th love %f ye?l‘x)l:t 4 which characterizes th: nation, both individually and collectively."” The internal discords in France were pointed to as the outcome of a lack of patriotism which should be engendered in the home. From its rotal absence the early boyhood, the d ation caused by the "“‘Great Reaper” ong his friends and relatives, formed the closing of one of the most eloquent addresses ever de- livered within the historic old church. BROOMHANDLE ARGUMENT. Henry Moeckel Hits Henry Marcus Because Hz Would Sing. Martin Marcus is 2 baker and also fan- cles he is a singer. A few nights ago he obtained employment in a bakery on Jones and O'Farrell streets, and during the early hours of the morning would give full play to his vocal powers. The neighbors complained to his employer that thelr slumbers were disturbed by the noise made by Marcus, and Saturday night the foreman, Henry Moeckel, was instructed to stop Marcus in his vocaliza- tion. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning Mar- cus burst forth in song and Moeckel told him to “shut up.” Marcus declined, and they began calling each other offensive names. Then a fight was in order, and Moeckel armed himself with a broom- handle, while Marcus drew his knife. Moeckel hit Marcus on the head with the broomhandle and Marcus slashed Moeckel on each arm, but only succeeded in mak- ing a scratch. Marcus was taken to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon and Dr. Zobel found that his skull was slightly fractured. Moeckel was arrested by Po- liceman Prowse and locked up in the City Prison on a charge of assault with & deadly weapon. He was released yester- day afternoon on $500 bonds accepted by Judge Low. He claims self-defense. —_——— Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush and Larkin sts. Swimming, Russian, hot and cold tub baths. Saltwater direct from ocean. — e e———— Glen Park Attractions.
