Repeated visits to the exhibition serve to show the vast amourt of work accom- plished by the ladies of the California Club in gathering cne of the most notable collections of art productions ever seen the State. In exhibiting the ‘“home productions.” the ladies of the club are widely heralding the fame of the State, as many Eastern vigitors can be found in the gallery each day, who will assuredly spread reports of what California can do the matter of industrial and applied Yesterday was “Fine Arts” day, and the committee in charge, under the direction of Mrs. George Law Smith, furnished 2 delightful musical*programme for afte noon and evening. Sevcral valuable paint- ings were added to the collection, ani many sales were made of exhibits dur- ing the day.

Customs Collector Stratton was advised yesterday by the Secretary of the Treas- ury that Chinese who are denied a landing must be taken to the port whence they came. This is a reversal of a ruling made sixty days ago by the department, in which it was held that a Chinese person being denied a landing at the port of San Francisco might be taken to Mexico or any other foreign port selected by tue | Chinese. The recent ruling was probably brought { about by the experience of Federal of- ficials in San Diego three weeks ago. F?fly-two Chinese_were landed at that port and James R. Dunn, Chief of the Chi- nese Bureau, went to San Diego with a staff of stenographers and interpreters to hear the applications to land. The result B the inquiry was that two were landed and fifty denied. These fifty, under the | departmental ruling, were allowed to be taken to Ensenada, Lower California, from which place, it was subsequently learned, they had made their way across the Mexican border into California. A Quarter Century of Success. From a synopsis of the twenty-fifth an- nual statement of the Prudential Insur- ance Company of America, which com- pany has recently commenced operations in California and Washington, it is shown that this progressive institution made large gains during 1800. Figures regard- ing such a life insurance company are al- ways interesting to note, and it is safe to say that no one will be more interested in the company’s prosperity than its 4,000,- 000 policy-holders. The policies of the Prudential are issued upon the most mod- ern and improved plans that can be de- vised by life underwriters. During the twenty-five years of its existence the Prudential has paid to its policy-holders over $49.000.000. f this amount it paid over $7,000,000 to beneficlaries during last year. At the end of 1900 the company's assets were over $40,000,000, while it had 1 over $604,000,000 of insurance in force. The surplus at the end of 1900 was over. $6,000,- 000. One of the sure tests of a life in- surance company's prosperity is its in- come, the Prudential’s record in this par- ticular for 1300 being over $24,000,000. While many other figures are shown in a more detailed statement of the company’s an- nual report, those given above reflect with particular credit upon the management of this great institution. A letter addressed to the president of the company, Mr. John F. Dryden, Home Of- fice, Newark, N. J.. or to their local repre- sentatives in California or Washington will bring any information you may desire with _reference to the policies issued by the Prudential. This company is at the present time soliciting the services of active, intelligent men to represent the Prudential in all Parts of this State and Washington.

Guggenheim on Gough street, but secured little of value. Guggenheim had attended a party given by his brother at the latter's residence on Gough street, be- tween Post and Geary, and was on his way home when he was held up. “I had just left my brother's house,” he said when telling his story to the police, “when the robber, who wore a mask, sud- denly confronted me and placing a re- volver in proximity to my head, or- dered me to throw up my hands. As I did so he placed his disengaged hand in my pocket and helped himself to a small amount of money. Determined to save my jewelry if possible, I yelled for help. At that the footpad, with an oath, took to his heels and disappeared down Gough street.” Guggenheim described the robber as be- ing about 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighing about 170 pounds. He wore a slouch hat and a dark suit of clothes. During the past few nights several be- lated citizens have been held up and robbed by the same man. Last night a number of policemen dressed in citizens” clothes patrolled the streets in the West- ern Addition in the hope of catching the ;Sotpad. but they failed to get a trace of m. MAUDE E. SPENCER IS 4 GRANTED A DIVORCE Former Husband Wanted to Dance on Her Grave—Decrees Issusd and Suits Filed. Mrs. Maude E. Spencer was granted a divorce from Henry MeD. Spencer by Judge Seawell vesterday. The decree was issued on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. Spencer testified that she was mar- ried July 25. 1883. For five years, she con- tinued, 'she was contented; then her hus- band began to treat her cruelly, she says. He often told her he wished she were dead, she concluded, “because he would | greatly enjoy dancing on her grave.” Judge Seawell forthwith granted the de- | cree and allowed Mrs. Spencer alimony in the sum of $75 a month. Spencer is con- nected with a local insurance office. Decrees of divorce were granted also to Nellie McDavitt from James McDavitt for failure to provide and Ida A. Getz from R. J. Getz for desertion. Suits for divorce have been filed by Ma- rie Johans against Theodore Johans for cruelty, Mary Silvas against Ralph A. Silvas for failure to‘groflde and Thomas F. Kuo’lhnan against Mary A.

DEATH FOLLOWS MLLEGED ASSHULT Charles Pratt Supposed to Be Victim of Brutal Footpads. City and County Hospital Doctors Must Explain to Coron:r Rea- sons for Performing Un- usual Operations. FEEED A The police are investigating the death of Charles Pratt, 38 years old, single, a | ship carpenter, who died yesterday at the City and County Hospital after being operated on for a fracture of the skull, inflicted, acording to a stutement made by | Pratt last week, by footpads on the night of April 6. On the night in question Pratt was found at the corner of Third and Natoma streets by Police Officers Clark and Orr. He was under the influence of liquor and was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. Drs. McElroy and Boscovitch found that Pratt had a lacerated scalp wound, but no signs were present of a fracture of the skull. The wound was treated and Pratt was locked up in the Southern police station. The next day he was set at liberty. | Pratt lived at 657 Howard street and his landlady, Mrs. J. Langille, noticed that her lodger was a sick man when he re- turned home on April 7. Pratt informed | her that he had been held up and robbedi by four mén on the previous night and | after being knocked on the head _was | | robbed of his watch and chain. Pratt grew worse and last Thursday was unable to leave his bed. On Saturday he became uncornscious and wds removed to the City and County Hospital. He showed all symptoms of a fractured skull and yester- day morning was operated upon by Drs Morton and Dodsworth. On the left side of the head, directly be- neath the scalp wound, the doctors dis-| covered that there was a fracture of the inner plate of the skull, tne outer plate | being intact. The skull was trephined and Pratt was removed to a ward, A few hours after the operation the patient died and his body was removed to the Morgue. | Drs. McEiroy and Boscovitch sald last | evening that they had taken every pre- | caution to discover if Pratt had a frac- | ture of the skull when he was brought to | the Emergency Hospital. They decldred | that absolutely no clinical signs of frac- | ture were observed and they discharged | the man from the hospital after treating | the laceration. Dr.” Morton went to Sacramento last evening and Dr. Dodsworth declined to glve any information on the subject. “The case is in the hands of the Cor- | said Dr. Dodsworth, “‘and I don't propcse to give my opinion as to the cause of Pratt’s death. The man did not die on the operating table as reported; he died some hours after the operation.” Dr. Bacigalupi, autopsy surgeon _to Coroner Leland, held an autopsy on the body of Pratt last night. The result of the examination showed that Pratt died from intercerebral hemorrhage, caused by | a blow on the head, and that the shock following the operation performed at the City and County Hospital was a contribu- | tory cavse. - Dr. Bacigalupi stated that it was impos- sible for him to tell whether Pratt had sustained injury by a fallgor from a weapon. The evidenee was destroyed by the operation at the hospital, when tw) | large pieces of Pratt's skull were removel by trenhining. The positive statement of the doctors at the hospital that Pratt had a fracture | of the inner plate of the skull was proven | erréoneous by the autopsy. Dr. Baciga-| lupi was surprised to find that Prati's| skull had been trephined on the right and | left sides, the pieces of skull removed be- | in~ as large as half a dollar. | “Just why the skull was trephined on ! both sides,” said tHe autopsy surgeon “I am at a loss to- understand. The | symptoms of pressure on the brain, fol- lowing an injury to the skull, are such that it is possible to determine exactly the seat of trouble.” Coroner Leland wul hold an inquest and the doctors of the | City Hospital, who operated on Prat, will be called upon to testify. MERCHANTS 10 RECEIVE PROTECTION AT PRESIDIO Blanket-Tossing of Collectors in Voi- unteer Camps Will B2 Preventad in Future. As a result of the complaint made to General Shafter by the creditors of a clothing firm doing business in the neigh- borhood of the Presidio, General Shafter has directed Colonel Rawles, command- | ant of the Presidio, to do all in his power to protect the men who enter the camps | of the volunteers about to be discharged for the purpose of collecting money due | them. ffine Thirty-fourth is to be discharged | to-morrow and rumer has it that the men have completed arrangements for a ‘‘blanket-tossing party. An immense tar- paulin is secreted about the camp, as sev- eral railroad men and drummers for downtown business houses know. They have been used as “dummies” several times during the last week and can give ample testimony that the men of the Thirty-fourth are a husky lot. | To prevent a recurrence of the scenes which occurred during the mustering out of the Thirtieth Infantry, a strong guard will be posted and everything in the power of Colonel Rawles will be exercised to pre- vent mistréatment of merchants or col- lectcrs who get within the camp limits. The Twenty-eighth and Thirty-fifth In- fantry regiments are encamped in Lower Mode] camp on the reservation. ~They were landed at the Presidio wharf yvester- | day afternoon and escorted to their quar- ters by a battalion of the Eighteenth In- | fantry, a troop of cavalry and the band of | the Third Artillery Corps. The horses of the Ninth Cavalry seem to | be fated to bring the dreaded glanders toi the Presidio. Last vear, when more than | 150 horses were killed at the Presidio, the | disease was brought by Ninth Cavalry | horses. _Yesterday it was found neces- | sary to delay the departure of the horses | belonging to four troops of cavalry that sailed on the Logan owing to the presence | of glanders among them. The horses of the Sixth Cavalry, that returned on the Arab, were sent instead. —_———————— Rivierre Released From Custody. G.

Newhall, representing the Chamber of Commerce, and Andrew J. Carrigan of the San Francisco Board of Trade, are on their way to Washington, | D. C., their purpose being to induce the | administration to assist San Francisco in securing a direct movement of traffic be- iween this port and Manila. They will ask that the goods now shipped to the army in the Philippines be forwarded by some steamship line doing business on the Pacific Ocean. This means, of course, di- Verting the business from the transport service. The matter has been under discussion some time, and an exclusive account of what was intended was published some time ago in The Call. Since then the scan- dal concerning the army supplies in the Philippines has been made public and this has turnished an additional argument for he dclegation now speeding to Washing- ton to use in showing that the merchants of the Pacific Coast are compelled to meet unjust discrimination, as army goods are sent in excess to the Philippines and then | diverted to private parties and merchants | for profit. 5 The fact that the carrying of army sup- | plies in private vessels to Manila has been sanctioned on the Atlantic Ocean by the Government and an advantage has there- by been, given to the Atlantic Coast cen- tee, of which T.
