We are glad to learn that the Bald- win Jewelry Company open their new store for business to-day at 844 and 846 Market street, opposite Fourth. This is the well-known company that took such good care of their patrons’ property at the time of the late fire, so that nothing was even damaged but the store fit- tings, the valuable stock being re- moved before daylight from the burn- ing bullding across the street to 408 Parrott building, where the business has been carried on the same as ever without interruption since the fire. . Work on the new stores was begun soon after the fire and has been rushed, no expense being spared in fitting them up in an artistic manner, with new showcases, the latest improved and tested fire-proof safes, etc., for the pro- tection of valuables. Every effort has been made to provide for the conveni- ence of patrons. The store, No. 846, will be conducted on the same plan as the well-known es- under the old Baldwin gold watches, diamonds, precious stones, etc., and no imitation goods. The adjoining store, No. 844, will be il conducted as a first-class jewelry es- Buicide. tablishment, carrying a full line of At silverware, spoons, forks, s , combs, umbrellas and novelties 3 4 .

They were placed in the insane ward of the Receiv- ing Hospital and taken before the In- sanity Commissioners yesterday morning. Drs. Lustig and Rothérs were kept bus examining them, and Judge Carroll Cook committed them to the home near Glen Ellen. In the party were also three from Ala- meda, two from Santa Clara and one from San Joaquin. They were perfectly harm- less and tractable. The women were at- tended by seven lady attendants. Sheriff Whelan wisely delegated Under Sherift William Clack to take charge of the transfer, which was accomplished without FOLLOWED HER FIANCE TO THE GREAT BEYOND Miss Mollie Geary, Betrothed of the Late Dr. James I. Stanton, Dies of a Broken Heart. ISS MOLLIE GEARY, the promised wife of the late Dr. James 1. Stanton, died Tuesday at the apartments of her sister, Mrs. Annie Bridgewood, in the Hotel Fairmount. General depression the attending physician gave as the cause of her death. “General depression,” translated from the cold, formal phrase- ology of the physician into the warm, throbbing utterance of the many friends of the deceased, reads “broken heart.” Miss Geary pined for the man cruel death took from her, lost all her. interest in home and friends and patiently prayed and walited for the sum- mons that would reunite her and her beloved. Since the death of Dr. Stanton, Miss Geary has been alling with a malady her physi- cians found it difficult to explain. She suffered no pain, but seemed to wilt and fade away like a delicate flower. Surrounded by the lov- ing care of a devoted sister and the kind attentions of a host of friends, the sufferer found it impossible to take up the thread where the death of her betrothed had so suddenly broken it. She heeded not the pleadings of sister, brothers nor friends, and while she never uttered one word of complaint, she made no effort to live. Two weeks ago the brilllant mind of the sufferer gave way and left her gentle and helpless as a little one who just begins to frame sweet sounding, simple phrases. Death came on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. At the bedside were the family and friends, and.the dear one passed away with the love light in her eyes and a smile on her sweet, tender lips. Miss Geary leaves three brothers and one sister to mourn her loss—ex-Congressman Thomas J. Geary, Harry J. Geary, Danfel W. Geary and Mrs. Annie Bridgewood. The funeral will take place this morning at half past 10 from the Hotel Fairmount, 1714 Market street. Services will be held at St. Joseph's Church. The interment Wwill be at Holy Cross Cemetery. The deceased was one of the handsomest of the many pretty girls for which San Francisco is justly famous. In addition to her attractive personality, she had rare qualities of mind and heart that made her dear to young and old alike. Her friends are legion, and during the last few weeks of her life they manifested their interest in her by many kind and loving messages. 0ODCC000000C00C000000COCO0CO000O0000000000000000000000 ©0000000000000000000C00000000000000C000C000000000000000 (] (] (] (] (] (] © (] (] [] [] -] (-] [ [] [] (-] © © (-] © (] [ (4] [-] [ [] ° (-] © © (-] -] ° | next Sunday, December 18. any untoward incident. Eight deputies accompanied them, and handled their in- sane wards with great consideration. Sec- retary Carrere was a very busy man at the departure of the 5:10 o'clock boat, being anxious to have the proceedings go off without a hitch. “This transfer,” he said, “will relieve the pressure on the asylums where the most dangerous people are kept. It is the first time such a course has ever been taken, and it is a wise precaution. There is a great difference between the treat- ment for the feeble-minded and that for the insane. Now that a home has been provided for the poor unfortunates it is proper that they should be taken there. Dr. A. E. Osborne, superintendent of the home at Eidridge, is a wise administrator and thoroughly understands the treat- ment of feeble minds. While I do not think that they can be cured, still it is but just that they should be in'a separate institution. I will proceed to gather them from the other counties, and 1 anticipate that the next Legislature will make an appropria- tion for the enlargement of the premises at Eldridge in order to accommodate them all. The railroad people have very kindly provided a specilal car, and so the poor beings will be to themselves on the trip. There are three boys in this lot, one of whom has been in the Stockton asylum for five years. Some were insane when first committed, but have now become idiots and are unable to help themselves, it being necessary to feed them. One woman has been in the Stockton asylum for . thirty-two vears, and her condition is pitiable. It will be some days before all the feeble-minded are removed from the Interfor asylums, but the work will be completed as soon as practicable.” Orpheum Symphony. The largest audience of the season as- sembled at the Orpheum yesterday for the third symphony concert. The pro- gramme contained Schumann’'s ‘“‘Genove- va’ overture; Beethoven's sixth sym- phony, “The Pastoral”; “Licht-Elfen und Relf-Reisen,” a larghetto from one of Haydn’s string quartets, and “Une Nuit sur le Mont Chauve,” by Moussorgsky. The performance of the symphony was 00 rough to bring out the beauties of this great work. The besl’{mrtormsmw of the afternoon was a offmann number, ““Third Movement of Erithjof S; mPh(my," which was repeated. The Haydn larghet- to was played with nice feeling and the ‘‘Genoveva™ overture was fairly well done. The Moussoresky number recetved a spirited performance. At the fourth concert, whicu takes place Thursday, De- cember 29, Tschailkowski's 'second sym- phony will' be played. —_———— Rev. Dr. Parkhurst of New York has a Christmas sermon in the Christmas edition of The Call, out TINIEST GIRL - EVER BORN O THE HIGH SEAS Weighed a Pound and a Half. BUT SIX INCHES IN HEIGHT CAME INTO THE WORLD DURING A HOWLING NORTHER. City of Peking Delayed—Coots Sold as Sprig—Record Breaking Runs of the Beulah and W. F. Jewett. Strange things happen at sea, but the strangest experience that ever occurred in the life of an old salt was what hap- pened to Captain R. J. Dunham on the last voyage of the steamer Weeott. It was during the norther, and the wind was howling through the steamer’s rigging at the rate of ninety miles an hour. Captain Dunham was on the bridge, looking after the safety of his vessel, when Purser A. E. Dey came to him and sald that the only lady passenger on bhoard was about to be' confined. The captain turned the vessel over to the mate and went below. With the assistance of the purser (they are both married men, with large familles) he delivered the woman of a girl baby that welghed a scant pound and a half and measured six inches in length. The mite was allve and hearty, and the cap- tain made a cradle for it out of a cigar box. The Weott sailed from San Franclsco for Yaquina Bay on December § at 11 p. m. Among the passengers was Mrs. G. W. White, wife of an employe of Morton's special delivery, and her two children, one aged eight years and the other 4. She was on her way to Corvallis to pay her sister a visit, and was in good health when the steamer left San Francisco. “All went well,” sald Purser Dey, ‘“until we ran into the norther. Then it blew great guns and we had a terrible time. There were a lot of cases of kerosene on deck, and it is lucky they were lashed down. The wind came along and ripped the tops off them as easily as you would tear a piece of paper from the wall. It was during this war of the elements that Mrs. White's baby was born. It was as bright as a new dollar, and its face was not much lerger than that cofn. It had black hair and eyes and was very pretty as babies go. Of course, the mother had no clothes for it, so we bundled it up in cotton batting and put it to sleep in a clgar box. Talk about your small babies! Why, that cigar box was large enough to cradle two babies the size of that one. At Corvallis we fixed the mother and child up and sent them ashore."” The little mite that was born in a_howl- ing norther on the bosom of the Pacific Ocean is to be named Grace Dey Weeott White, s0 if she lives to be old enough her name will always remind her of where and under what circumstances she came into the world. Quite a fleet of ships put in an appear- ance yesterday. The British ship Was. dale got in from Antwerp, the Flintshire from Swansea, the barks 8. C. Allen and Annie Johnson and the brig Lurline from the Hawallan Islands, the French bark Louls Pasteur from Swansea, and besides these there were two barkentines and a bark outside. The Mail Company’s steamer City of Peking will not get away until the 21st inst. On her way here from China she cracked her tall shaft, and an attempt was made to repair it. This was found impossible, 80 a new one had to be made. ‘I;Xence the postponement of the sailing ate. The remodeled steamer Crescent City had her trial trip on the bay yesterday, and proved to be a wonderfully tmproved vessel. - She has had new boflers and a new high-pressure cylinder put in, and her cabins remodeled. She is now one of the finest vessels of her class on the coast. The Italian fishermen are back at their old tricks again. Yesterday boatload after boatload of coots were landed at Fisher- men’s wharf, and after bejnf plucked and their heads taken off were 8old to peddlers, who retalled them all over the city as sprig. They catch them in their nets and smother them. They are in consequence unfit for food. The Health Officers” will stop the practice. The schooners Beulah and W. F. Jewett have made record-breaking runs up the coast. They both left here on the 10th inst., and_ the Beulah made the run to Willapa. Bay in three days, while the Jewett went to Port Gamble in four days. The Jewett {8 the vessel that made the record-breaking run_of ten days from Unalaska to Grays Harbor. The engines of the Japanese cruiser Chitose were turned over yesterday. To- day or to-morrow she will have a pre- liminary spin around the bay and some time next week will go to the Santa Bar- bara channel for her official trial trip. —_—— Anakesis cures Piles, nothing else.
