His NGRY CITIZENS Mass Meetingof North‘, End Residents. ; g FIERY SPEECHES DELIVERED| e MINISTERS OF MANY CREEDS ON ONE PLATFORM. | e Seldom if ever has an audience been ad- dressed from one platform by ministers | | of every denomination. This unusual sight | | was witnessed last evening by the resi- dents of North Beach who crowded Wash- ington-square Hall to voice their protests | | against the Hotel Nymphia, now running | | in their midst. The mass meeting proved | extremely interesting, the speeches of the | leaders in the movement to remove the | evil being full of strong and condemna- | tory language. | In Introducing Father Redihan of the | Italian church, the chairman, Rev. W. S. Urmy of the First Methodist Epliscopal | Church, said: ‘“We are not here to offer insults to the Supervisors, to charge any | »ing on the part of the Police Commissioners or any public official, but | we are here for the purpose of protesting in a gentlemanly and citizen-like manner | against th rible evil which has sprung | up in this fair section of the cit | That statement was the trend of thel meeting and every speaker who addressed | the large audience had the thought con-| stantly before him. Father Redihan de-! nounced the evil and his words of protest | against it found a responsive chord in the | hearts of his audience. Rev. Mardon D. Wilson, an Episcopalian minister, fol- lowed- with an equally strong speech | against the hotel. John J. Barrett, the attorney for the leaders of the movement, resented the legal aspects of the case. fis speech was full of fire and eloquence and his audience were kept continuously applauding _ him. He stated that the Twinkling Star Company got their incor- poration papers by misrepresentation and in passing said “it is our business to see | that the star does not twinkle.” He told | of the work of the committee before the | Board of Supervisors and of its partial success. He said the Pollce Department was with the residents of the North Beach district to suppress the Nymphia and said within the week the committee would have the men who compose the Nymphia Company arrested and brought 1o the Police Courts for trial for conduct- ing a nuisance and on other legal grounds. Rev. Dr. Slocum of the Green-street Congregational Church followed, and | impress the speech was full of power and greatly im- ed his listeners. Like the preceding condemned the Institution nd told how it should be suppressed. He spoke of its dangers and suggested that to Supervisors with their in- dignation the citizens of the district should march to the City Hall, and they passed his house th Father Caraher, with at least two thous sand_strong.” In conclusion, he said if the Nymphia were closed the North End district would be prosperous, morality would flourish and it would be a virtuous, regpected community. Speeches were also made by T. B. O'Brien and A. Antonfvich. The former advocated the formation of a club and made a motion that the Supervisors of the Second and Fourth wards be asked to de- | clare the Nymphia a nuisance and to call the Board of Health's attention to it and have it closed as they would a pest- house. The motlon was unanimously carried. Mr. Antonivich’s speech proved a surprise to his listeners. Resolutions were read and adopted denouncing the hotel and instructing Attorney Barrett to bring legal proceedings against the Nym- phia with a view to having it condemned and also to have the directors of the Twinkling Star Company arrested for ma}ma!nlng and conducting a house of -fame. ORPHEUM CHANGES HANDS. Stock Owned by Gustav Walter Sold Under Order of Court. Judge Troutt bas confirmed the sale of 1250 shares of stock in the Walter Or- pheum Company, up to yesterday the pro- | erty of the estate of the late Gustav Wai- ter.

S Superintendent of an Alaska Com- pany Buys a Lodging House for a Woman Who Skips With the Coin. = L. W. Smith, superintendent of an Alaska company, has been inquiring for Miss Myrtle Sloan's address. Smith has a touching note from the fickle damsel, asking him to" write, but as she failed to mention her street and number, he has been obliged to seek police assistance so that he may respond to her request. Thig is the second time within the past, few weeks that the millionaire superin- tendent has had to apply to the sleuths to find the lady. . A few months ago Myrtle rushed up north to an old flame, George Barrett, who had just been released after a long trial for the killing of Frank Willlams in Portland. Smith followed the faithless damsel, found her in Seattle and induced her to return here ‘with him. Shortly after Myrtle's return, Barrett came to town, and also engaged apart- ments at 613 Bush street. Barrett's pres- ence developed in Miss Sloan a decided busin taste and she induced Smith to purch: from John Ellis the lodging- hous 242 Post street, paying for the same $1000 and giving Smith a chattel mortgage on the house as security for his money. Myrtie figured as a landlady but a few days and within the very week she pur- chased the house she sold it back to Harris for $900 and disappeared with Bar- rett and the coin. When Smith discovered that he no longer owned a lodging-house, he sought the assistance of Captain Bohen, who de- tailed Detective George Graham on the case. Graham did excellent work in the | | and through him the woman.

The night grew late and still no lady. Finally Smith returned to his rooms at the Russ, where a note from Myrtle awaited him. Humbly the writer apolo- gized for not appearing at the dinner, ex- plaining her absence by the fact that sirice the detectives had sought her out at the lodging-house she had been the rude stare of too modest to stand the g n | strangers, she had left the town. P. S. she added: ‘‘Write soon.” Smith, it is rumored, is still willing to forget and forgive. When seen last evening Mr. Smith ad- mitted that he knew Miss Sloan. He sald she was a Portland girl and was a mem- ber of a well-known family in that city. He sald he was an unmarried man and could go with any woman he pleased. “I may have given her money at times,” he continued, “but it is my business. 'I never lost any money through her. She has not run away, but is in Los Angeles.

P | A father and his son, twenty-five years, each considering the | other dead, met a few evenings ago in | this city. The father is Theodore C. Dug- gan, one of the solid citizens of Plymoutn, | Amador County, and ~proprietor of two stage lines running from that point. His newly discovered son, who has long gone by the name of Willlam George, is better known to the one-time frequenters of the old Baldwin billiard rooms as *Baldwin George.” The meeting was arranged by James Orndorf, one of the proprietors of the Baldwin Annex, and took place last Fri- day in front of the bar of that resort. “Billy,” said Orndorf, presenting the young man to an elderly gentleman, ‘“‘this | is your long lost fa her. Mr. Duggan, | your son, Billy George!” | The reunited pair ped hands, took a good look at each other and shook. “Have a drink,” said the father, releasing the hand of his new- found ‘son long enough to reach into his pocket for the price. * “Gimme a little rye,” said the young man in response to the inquiry of the bar- tender as to the nature of hiX tipple. “What's that?”’ exclalmed the father, hastily placing on the bar the bottle from which he had just poured a couple of Stift | fingers. “What's that!” 5 “A little rye,” eve of the elder man that he did not like the ldea that his son was drinking whisky. He saw that the happy reunion might be disrupted if he did not act promptly. ‘“Don’t you worry,"” | “because_your son whisky. and never saw the sign of liquor on him vet. You two just go over there, sit down and have a good talk. You'll find the boy knows how to take care of himself. Father and son sat down at one of the tables. They had not been talking two minutes before Orndorf saw Duggan ex- tend his arms and with tears streaming from his eyes clasp the young man to his breast. Time and again during the half hour they sat there the Yather was sibly affected, and when he arose to | accompany his 'son to meet an entirely | unsuspected daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, he was as proud as Punch. On the way to the home on Sixth street he became so demonstrative in his af- fection for the newly discovered son that a policeman was on the point of arrest- ing him. The bluecoat did stop them, but isfied with their explanation of the son for the joy allowed them to pro- ceed on their way. Duggan met his son’s wife hugged his children and spent all of Saturday with the family, return- ing to his home at Plymouth Sunday. He would have taken the entire family with him had not Mrs. George been too ill to stand the journe The separation of the elder and younger Duggan took place at Monterey more than a quarter of a century ago, as the result of the divorce of his father and mother. Duggan left for parts unknown to his former wife, and the boy, upon the remarriage of his mother to a_man named George, took the surname of his step- father. The father went to Amador County and there married a Miss Millie Hayden, who is the mother of his two s and two daughters.

As near as can be ascertained, he is a half-breed, a cross between the resi- dent of Oakland or Alameda who daily crosses the ferry to this city and the San Francisco public. He looks and acts and moves like other men, but is not. He is a Frankenstein growth of conditions established by Huntington and has returned to de- stroy his master.
