SAN JOSE, Sept. 4 —Because of his mad infatuation for a young lady, Dr. Holmes, who claims to be a regular practitioner and a man of means, was lodged in the County Jail to-day to serve a term of twenty days for disturbing the peace. He is believed to be insane and probably will be committed to Agnews. Holmes became madly infatuated with Miss Fife, a granddaughter of Millionaire Luning, in San Francisco. He followed | the young lady about and tried to obtain | an jntroduction. Miss Fife's parents removed to Palo Alto this week, but they had not been in their new home more than a few hours before Holmes appeared there. He en- gaged a room across the street and watched night and day for the young jady. As she failed to appear he called at her home and demanded to see her. This | led to his arrest. Holmes is about 35 years of age. When hro‘]xh[ to the jail he had 70 cents in his pocket. | HOTEL IS INVADED BY MASKED BANDITS Robbers Make a Rich Haul in Cask, Jewelry, Champagne and Whisky.

Then Miss Hodge told about her aged lover's refusal to wed her when a month later she asked him what day would be et. The jilted woman then sought the courts. There was no denial of the en- | gagement, but in his answer Nicholl de- clared that the promise to marry Miss | Hodge was based upon the provision that she should obtain his daughters’ consent to the union, and he added that his Ne- mesis had threatened to be revenged upon him if his daughters did not give their consent. And they did not consent, and their pro- tests were strong enough to break ' the match. So Miss Jane Hodge did not be- come the “Duchess of Richmond.” Nich- oll owned many acres at the Santa Fe terminal of Richmond and had long been known, because of his possessions, as the “Duke of Richmond.” He always Insisted that Miss Hodge had formally released him from his promise after the _insistent objections of the daughters were interposed. But the lady as solemnly declared that she had not freed her flance and had always been ready to become his bride. Before she came to Oakland several years ago Miss Hodge was a telegraph operator in the employ of the Western TUnion Telegraph Company in Oregon and in Nevada.

MARRIAGE OF PERSONS DIVORCED The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of This Country Will Consider Some Very Grave Ques- tions That Bear Directly on the Sanctity of Home Circle | | ONE OF THE YOUNGEST BISHOPS .OF THE EPISCOPAL WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION TO BE HELD HERE IN OCTOBER. CHURCH OSITIVE prohibition of the re- marriage of divorced persons will be the most important subject that will be discussed by the members of the general conven- tlon of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States that meets in this city next month. The proposed canon will be submitted appointed at the general convention held in 1898, the committee consisting of thir- teen prominent members of the church. The prohibition of the remarriage of divorced persons has for some years re- ceived the careful attention of the lead- ers of the Episcopal church, and there was but little o] sition in the conven- tion of 18% to the resolution calling for the appointment of a special committee to consider the question. The committee, consisting of clergy and laity, after a number of sessions, decided by a vote of i1 to 1 to report at the forthcoming con- vention in favor of such prohibition. At the present time the Episcopal church permits the remarriage of an_innocent party to a divorce obtained on the ground of infidelity, but the vast increase in the number of divortes in this country for many reasons has created alarm in the minds of church leaders. The committee on marriage and divorce that will report to the general convention consists of Rev. Morgan Dix (chairman), Rev. Drs. Hoffman of New York, Daven- port of Tennessee, Mann of West Mis- souri, Fulton of Pennsylvania, Eccleston of Maryland, Messrs. Lewis of Pennsyl- vania, Btetson of New York, Miller ot Georgla, Stanley of Washington, Light- ner of Minnesota and Bradford of Dela- ware. Rev. F. Lobdell of Western New York, wno dled In the fall of 1899, was a member of the committee. Delegate Stetson of New York intro- duced the resolution at the last general convention by which the special commit- tee was brought into existence. The pro- posed canon to be reported to the con- vention, after defining matrimony and stating what marriages are rruhlblted on the ground of impediment of consanguin- ity, says: No minister ‘shall solemnize a marriage be- tween any two persons unless nor until by in- quiry he shall have satisfied himself that neither person has been or is the husband or the wife of any other person then living, un- less the former marriage was annulled by a decree of some civil court of competent juris- diction for cause existing before such former marriage. No person divorced for ‘@ause arising after magriage, and marrying again during the life- time of the other party to the-divorce, shall be admitted to baptism or confirmation or re- ceived to the holy communion, except when penitent and separated from the other party to the subsequent marriage, or when peni- tent and in jmmediate danger of death; but this canon ghall not apply to the innocent party to a divorce for the cause of adultery. Divorces Are on the Increase. ‘With reference to the resolution re- ferred to the tommittee looking to an amendment of the conmstitutfon of the United States so as to provide for Con- gressional actipn making uniform the law of marriage and divorce in the United | States, the committee will report as fol- lows: That, in their opinion, no successful action can be had in amending the constitution of the United States so as to make uniform the law of marriage and divorce in the United States, but the only practicable way toward securing such uniformily should be sought through the enactment of similar laws by the several States. Frank H. Miller will submit a minority | report, providing for the remarriage of an innocent party to a divorce granted for infidelity. ev. John A. Emory, venerable arch- deacon of the diocese of California, in speaking of tue proposed canon, stated yesterday that every right thinking man and woman would favor the prohibition of the remarriage of divorced persons. He said: The number of divorces in_Americs creasing and is appalling. The eas with which divorces are grantcd robs marriage of all solemnity. I have heard a well-educated young woman say previous to her marriage that in the event of not getting along with her busband she could easily secure o divorce. It may be argued that the prohibition of re- marriage of divorced persons would work hard- chips in many cases. I do not agree with those who ergue that way. Prohibition of re- marriage of divorced persons means a -safe- guard to womanhood and the Episcopal church is ready and willing to place that safeguard around women. Most divorces in this country are due to hasty or {ll-advised marriages. It it were the universal law that no divorced person could remarry during the lifetime of the other party to the divorce it would -have the tendency to make parents hesitate before Eiving their daughters in marriage to men whose only qualification is the possession of estate or money. Marriage is & solemn contract and should be 50 considered when entered Into. The strict letter of the marriage ceremony of our church should be upheld and ns who marry should realize that it is “for better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, until death do us part.”” | Another important question to | | be de. cided at_the convention is that of divid ing the United States into provinces and establish over each Frovim:e an Arch- bishop as the head of the church in that | section. This m by the ritualists, as stated in the East months. Plan to Simplify Church Work. |, Archdeacon Emery explaiped lth“ the division of the country has been extensively in the past few ¥ into pro- by the committee on marriage and divorce | ter has not been urged. twenty vears, and that it was solely a| matter of administration. The plan to he discussed at the forth- coming convention provides for the divi- sion of the country into seven provinces. Each province wi'l have an Archbishop at its head, and the Archbishops in turn will elect a Metropoiitan, who will be the ex- ecutive and constitutional leader of the Episcopal church in America. The proposed provinces will be consti- | tuted as follows: New England and New York—Eleven dlo- ceses. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary- land, District of Columbia—Nine dioceses. Virginia, West rginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida—Eight dioceses and | two missionary districts. | Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ok- lahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky— | Nine dioceses and two missionary districts. |~ Ohfo, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon- sin—Twelve dloceses. Minnesota, Towa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska (ncluding that portion of Wyoming lying in the district of Laramie),’ North and South Da- kota—-Six dioceses and four missionary dis- tricts. Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Call- fornia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New | Mexico and Alaska—Four dloceses and nine | missionary districts. | The Archbishop, under the new regime, would be the tangible head in every sec- tion, but his powers, prerogatives and duties would be definitely set forth, both by canon law ond by long precedent, in | the church at large, and in particular in | other branches of the Anglican com- munion. The new plan aims to take many ideas from the Church of England. If the proposed plan is accepted by the conven- tion it is expected that the primate of the whole American church will be the ven- erable Bishop of Rhode Island, the senior Archbishop of the church. The convention wiil also discuss the status of the Anglican church in Hawall and the duties of the church toward the new American possessions. Bishop Willis of Hawali is expected to be present. He ‘was_appointed by the Church of England as Bishop of Hawail, and since the an- nexation has remained at his post. His supporters desire that he should remain in Hawali, while his opponents are anxious | that the diocese should be annexed to the Episcopal church of the United States. The matter is one that has caused many heartburnings in Hawaii among Episco- pal church membets, and it is hoped that the subject will be amicably settled at the convention. 2 An important matter to be settled by the convention is that of selecting a new name for the church. Its present title, “The Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America,” is considered by many to be unsuited, both fn meaning and in length. In a recent issue of the Living Churchman prominent clergy and laity of the church sabmitted their views on the subject and also proposed names for the one now in use. Expect Many Delegates to Attena. It is expectcd that more than 600 dele- gates, lay and clerical, will be present at the general couvention. Among those who will Francisco will be the R»izg t Rev. Samuel Cook Edsall, Bizshop of North Dakota and {"diocesan-elect to Minnesota. He is the Grand Missionary Bishop of North Dako- ta and has achieved remarkable results in his work in that State. He is by birth and training a Western man. His father was a prominent lawyer of Illinois and at one time was Attorney General of the State. Bishop Edsall was designed for the bar and studied law in his father's office, but he abandoned the law and en- tered the church. He graduated from the ‘Western Theological Seminary in 1888 and was ordained a priest in 1889. His first and onli parisn was St. Peter’s, in Chi- cago, which he founded as a mission, but it soon expanded until it became one of, he strongest parishes in the State of Il- inofs, His success as a clergyman marked him for ecclesiastical preferment, and in 1898 the general convention appointed him Bishop of his present diocese. The dio4 cese is one of the largest in the country: He_has built churches, schools, missions and hospitals in every section of his vast jurisdiction. The call to become Bisho Coadjutor of Minnesota was heard Witfi regret by the people of North Dakota, but they realized that their beloved Bish- op was stepping upward in his calling. Bishop Edsall ranks as one of the lead- ers of the younger ienerullon of Bishops. Accompanied by a large delegation from North Dakota, Bishop Edsall is expected to arrive in San Francisco in the course of a few da A special n hurlnf a large number of Eastern Bluhuxés and lay delegates will leave New York City on September 20 and arrive in this city on the morning of Octo- ber 1, The party will be in charge of C.

JAQUL INDIANG IGAIN RMDING Fears of Another Rising in the State of Sonora. Tribesmen Are Emboldened by Withdrawal of Mex- ican Troops. — s Specfal Dispatch to The Call. TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 4—A renewal of the Yaqui warfare in Sonora, Mexico, seems imminent. El Correo de Sonora, a daily paper published in Guaymas, which was received to-day, says that 100 Yaquis were seen at Santa Rosa. They had driven off cattle and horses belonging to ranchers. No outrages have been report: ed, but settlers are afraid that the Yaquis are preparing for an attack upon them. The Yaquis are emboldened by the re- moval of the Mexican troops not long ago. Recently storms in the Yaqui Val- ley destroyed the homes of many Indians and ‘drove them to the mountains. A large number of them were reported drowned by floods which spread over the valley. Citizens of Guaymas have appealed to the Governor of Sonora to send troops back to the Yaqui country to hold the In- dians in check. The people of Santa Rosa are thoroughly alarmed and expect an at- tack at any moment. This settlement 1Is close to Guaymas and the Yaquis show great boldness in going so near the center of population after the strenuous war- fare which was waged to drive them back and hold them upon the lands in the Yaqui Valley @ ittt el @ BAGS OF GOLD INTHE Lo0T Arkansas Robbers Are Burdened With Rich Spoils. TEXARKANA, Ark., Sept. 4—The six men who held up the Cotton Belt pas- senger train at Eylau, Tex., last night are still at large. The robbers evidently rode their horses up Aiken Creek and left They then used a handcar and went five miles north, as the handcar was found near where the train was stopped. After looting the mail and express cars the robbers returned to the creek, mounted-their horses and again rode down the stream, thus obliterating their trail. It is sald the entire haul was $50,000. To-night the posses returned here, hav- ing called the bloodhounds from the track. It has been discovered that the robbers secured one bag of gold which required the combined efforts of two men to carry from the express car to the en- gine. The through safe was dynamited. While the dogs were trailing it is said enough was learned to place the gullty persons, who are believed to be from Texarkana, one being a man, mainder boys. The arrest of the leader is looked for hourly. The Cotton Belt has offered a reward of $1800 for the robbers and the express company 10 per cent of all money re- covered. All the posses have been re- called to Texarkana and pursuit is now confined strictly to this place. —_— DOORSTEP WAIF FALLS HEIR TO AN ESTATE Toundling Is Remembered in the ‘Will of a Seattle Hotel Proprietor.

Has Little Hope of the Sur- vival of the Growers’ Association. e et FRESNO, Sept. 4—A special to the Re- publican from the Journal of Commerce, New York, in regard to the raisin market in the East says: » The to be but one opinion in New York uoon (he effect of President Kearney's threat to make the price of raisins 2 cents a pound ‘in _the sweat box. This opinlon is tnat Kearney has demoralized the market for some time to come. Trade here will look entirely to the coast for guidance before taking hold of the new crop. Kearney acknowledged tc your correspondent that he had smashed the mnrk;{!. and that to do so had been his intention. He also states that he has little hope from his advices of the assoclation continping this year. The_ following dispatch has been re- ceived from M.

There are a few pack- ers on the outside that make statemgnts and are anxious to see the association go _to pleces 50 that they may secure business. But these men are comparatively irresponsible financially and what they may say will have little weight with those who know. The ‘independent’ pack- ers, members of the Packers' Company, have recently bought some six hundred cars of old crop and naturally they fear a loss under the Sent circumstances. vr:l:nremnln! to be seen whether they will take a broad-minded view of the case, and, by help- ing all they can to get the leases signed, save themselves loss and put the industry on a solid foundation, or whether they will see only the 4impending loss on this purchase and join hands | with the enemy of the association. If they choose the latter course it will not save the market, for the directors have absolute power to control more than half the crop under the old contracts and can put a Sheriff’s officer in every vineyard to enforce the rights of the assocla- tion. They were instructed by an almost unani- mous vote of the members at the last annual election to cut the life out of prices if the out- siders refused to come In and they accepted the instructions in good faith. *If by any possibility the directors should re- fuse to act as instructed, I will call for volun- teers and will contribute my crop from a thou- sand acres of vineyard as a leader to smash prices. Without a strong association the raisin market would at once revert to its former ‘wretched condition, a source of worry and loss both to the grower and to the trade; therefore no good can come by not fighting this question out to a finish now.” Chino Sugar Factory Closes. SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 4—The American Beet Sugar Company’s factory at Chino has closed down, throwing 400 men out of work. The beet season is at its height, but Superintendent Hamilton of the sugar factory claims that it was forced to close by the failure of the beets to ripen. It is generally beleved among | the beet growers at Chino that the reduc- | tion in the price of sugar has reduced the profits in the factory to a minimum and necessitated economy. All of the beets are now being shipped to the factory at Oxnard. Found Dead in the Brush.
