THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1901 SOCIETY TO TURN OUT FOR DOCTOR’S DAUGHTERS’ OW, WHICH IS TO OPEN THIS MORNING + METSON LEADS HI3 DETECTIVES Tells Story of Work Per- formed by Sleuths | Up in Nome. Noyes' Attorneys Enjoy a| Merry Time Making Objections. 'W. H. Metson furnished a sensation late yesterday afternoon during the Nome con- tempt proceedings. The attorneys for Re- spondent Arthur H. Noyes were responsi- \ble for it. Metson went to Nome as an attorney representing big mining interests. When he landed he found his clients blocked at every instance and in order to cut through the ice of legal obstructions he employed & detective force, directed its movements and saw that his enemies were “hoist with their own petard.” Some of the scandal about McKenzle, Judge Noyes and all the co-conspirators &s alleged has been printed. W. T. Hume told the bulk of the sensational side of the case during the first two days of the hearing. That was three weeks ago, since which time there has been much reitera- ton and little that was startling. Metson was afforded the opportunity yesterday afternoon, and he told what he knew of the cases at bar. The respond- ent's attorneys objected, but, as the testi- mony is taken before a commissioner, they found little satisfaction. ‘Was Captain of Detectives. The direct examination of Metson, con- ducted by Judge McLaughlin, elicited the fact that he had employed four detectives te sift the McKenzie-Noyes. combination. By name they were Carson, Crowley, Brown and Herrin What they learned was reported to Mr. Metson. He detalled them to assignments of Guty and received their reports as one accustomed to the work. McLaughlin was kept busy building up Metson's reputation as a leader of detec- tives. After bringing to light the special and private system of cspionage he gave his attention to the case of Carson. “Carson then was acting as a sort of spy for the Government?’ asked Mc- Laughlin, Yes, sir,” replied Metson. “When did you first employ Carson?” “About the latter part of August—be- fore Frost employed him,” answered the witness.

Thé cross- questioning closed with an attempt of the | amicus curiae to find what had become of $25000 gold belonging to McKenzie which came out on the Roanoke. In the morning M. J. Cochran took the stand, and was soon after succeeded by | Thomas Jacobs, a claim owner on Anvil Creek. Jacobs testified as to the manner | of staking and the operations of the Lane crowd. The object of the respondents in | putting Jacobs on the stand was to show that military Eupplies and reindeer were used by them, and that they fought gov- ernmental organization and the carrying out of the ing laws.

SANTA . CRUZ, Nov. 7.—To-day Miss Josephine M. Turcot and John F. Sheehan Jr. were united in marriage at the resi- dence .of the bride’s uncle, J. B. Logan, by the Rev. C. O.

The ladies having the affair in charge avs just a bit-nervous. This year's “doll how” has grown to such tremendous pro- portions that it is altogether natural that the Daughters should feel the responsibil- ity. But they have labored so long and so well that they need have no appre- hension as to the resuit. I predict that the hall to-night will have that gay and brilliant appearance of a first night at the opera. All the ladies who bave secured boxes are going in full evening dress, 1 understand, and the ef- fect is sure to be a magnificent one. erday I went to Sloane’s to see the workmen put the last finishing touches to that wonderful doll house, the gift of the Misses Grace and Lillian Spreckels. It is a love of a toy and is sure to make even the most sedate of us forget dignity and wish to “squat’ down and play “house” like in the long ago. The doll house, which I believe is to be raflled off, is a sort of :nipockef. addition of a modern up-to-date millionaire’s resi- dence. It is colonial in architecture, is painted a blinking white and contains a drawing room, dining room, a library, a nursery, two sieeping apartments, kitchen, bath room and a magnificent reception hall. Eight very swell sawdust people occupy this miniature palace. There is papa and | mamma, who, by the way, are young and attractive. Mamma's sister, a blonde debutante, and five precocious little ones that have inherited all of their parents’ beauty. There is also a whole retinue of servants to wait upon the aristocrats who live in this beautiful home; a nurse, a cook, a chocolate-colored butler, a chambermaid, not forgetting a messenger boy in a brand new uniform and e faithful doggy, just about to give a most ferocious bark. The furnishing of the little house is all that the most fastidious person could de- sire. The drawing room is in white and gold. The furniture is after the pattern holstered in most exquisite silk brocade, The floor is a hard-finished inlaid one and smooth enough_for any bisque debutante to glide over. The “brar{l is rich in tone and_ substantial in furnishings. The fur- niture is of carved Flemish oak, uphol- stered in a deep rich crimson velvet. The carpet and curtains are in keeping with the furniture. In a corner by a window, on a carved oak pedestal, is a marble bust of Dewey. The hall, like the library, is furnished There is a tall, old clock in one corner and in another hangs a telephone, a main line one and without a nickel attachment. In the hall there is also a Flemish oak stand and gilt um- brella stand that is carefully stocked in view of the near approach of the stormy season. The nursery /s finished in blue and white and 18 crowded with comfortable chairs and every sort of toy calculated to glad- den the heart of a youngster. In a gildea cage there are singing birds and on a tas ble reposes a %‘lobe of gold fish. My lady's chamber is a dainty room, with white enameled furniture and pale green satin hangings. Carpet, walls ana the upholstering are all in the most deli- cate shade of green. The dressing table is dra in lace and loaded down with the 101 things my lady uses for her toflet. The debutante’s room is in white and pink—white embroidered furniture, with pink satin hangings and upholstery. The dining room is a magnificent apart- ment. The heavy furniture is of carved Flemish oak, upholstered in green velvet A magnificent carved oak sideboard, cov- ered with gorgeous silver, takes up one entire side of the spacious apartment. The kitchen is complete in every detail. There is even an ice chest, which, when open, displays several “large bottles” that I 5““’ are just the proper temperature, sides all this luxury, there is a stained glass window in the upstairs hall, lace curtains and draperies on all the windows, handsome paintings on the walls and elec tric lighting throughout the house.

Resolved, That we shall ever vemember her a as one who was bl among women. 8o tenderly ,oved, s0o devotedly watched over and thought of, even in the mo- ment of extreme anguish, when life itself hung in_the balance. In the loss of life's chosen companion she has suffered more than most women. The husband who rose above worldly consld- fration and earthly honors to console the wife nd companion of his heart and home was Breat in his attainments, great in his achieve- ents, but greatest in the strength of his af- fections, and the discharge of his dutles to the wife of his bosom and the companion of his fireside.

TOBIN was hostess yesterday at an elaborate luncheon given at | the University Club In honor of Mrs. Alice Mey- nell, the distinguished writ- er. Covers were laid for thirty-five. The guests were seated at three rqund tables that were beautifully decorated. The first table was all in pink and white.. Pink geraniums and carnations formed an elaborate center piece, about which was a festooned circle of delicate wkite tulle, fastened at regular intervals with bunches of loosely tied pink roses. Pink candles with pink shades shed a'soft light over this table. The second table was deeorated all in cool greens. Baskets of ferns and potted plants with shining leaves made the board most attractive. Green candles with green shades furnished the {llumination. The third table was aglow with gor- geous hued autumn leaves that trained their brillilant length upon the snowy damask. Bright madrone berries min+ gled with the magnificent foliage. On this table red candles with red shades were used. Luncheon was served at 1:30 o’clock and during the service of the elaborate menu a string orchestra rendered most delight- ful gelections. ) lose asked to meet Mrs. Meynell were: Sam Knight, Mrs. Brown, Miss Agnes Mrs. Tobin, Mrs. J._ R.

Artists Show Pictures Under, Auspices of Art Asso- ciation. The water color exhibition of the San Francisco Art Association opemed last night at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art with a reception. The attendance was not large, but many of the best-known artists, critics and patrons were present The water colors, pastels and black and whites of the exhibition are all hung in the Mary Frances Searles gallery. The first view of the water colors, by artificial light, was unfortunate and doubtless a better impression will be created when visitors have seen the pictures by day- light. ‘Many bits of work of much merit are to be seen on the four walls of the gal- lery and a number of them were greatly admired last night and will continue to attract favorable attention throughout the exhibition. There are some, on the other hand, that are decidedly amateurish and the wonder is that the committee ever accepted them. Miss Annie Frances Briggs has five water colors on the north wall that are excellent. _All are landscapes. “Laren” and “Crefk in Southern California” are the best, the former being particularly strong. Mrs: Lucia K. Mathews exhibits six studies, very modern and striking in a poster-like way. One, numbered 15 in th catalogue, a landscape study, has most merit. Miss Louise Schwamm hi several studies of the same. school an well executed. G. F. P. Plazzoni's “Calm,” a weird im- pressiontst Ia‘ndsca%: of strikingly low tone, is gne of the best things in the gal- lery. It, Miss Briggs’ “Laren” and the study by Mrs. Mathews are certainly not far from the best three. Latimer has a small water color, “In the Pines,” that ls good for the treatment of the lights and shadows. “Guadaloupe Creek,” by Sidney J. Yard, is well done. Two others by the same artist are scarcely up to his standard. Lillian Vesaria has four water colors. Two of them—“On the Maine Coast” a “English Channel”—are as dainty bits ol landscape picturing as one would wish to see. Morgan exhibits two land- " and M. de Neale scapes, “The Edge of the Lake" “Even#ng,” a Berkeley scene, that are meritorious. “Birds of a Feather” and “Fantasy in Black and White" are the best of a num- ber of water colors by Mrs. Wheelan, who as a number of black and white studies and several book plate designs. Miss Martha L. Johnson's studies in still life are clever, one of brasses being espe- cially true in coloring. A case of miniatures by Kunath, on the south wall, attract much attention and praise. A portrait In pastel, by Matteo Sandona, is a striking study of a young woman of the Italian type. It is likely to be ag ;nuch admired as anything in the gal- lery. A large pastel, ‘“Here Dies Another Day,” is the best of the four pictures shown by J. M. Griffin. J. Montague Griswold has a Frenchy bit of a_quaintly humorous study, ‘“Ldbor Day in_Brittany.” There is scarcely defl- nition enough, but one is pleased by it. Mrs. Alice M. Best's “Studies From Boyville'" are characteristically clever. “‘Rejected,” by Jack Tucker, is good In coloring but the cemposition is poor. “Mount Tamalpais” and “Lake Mefritt” are two dainty bits of gvork by Mazle E. Nicholl. Cadenasso, Judson, Hansen, Griffin and Neilson are all represented by pictures not by any means up to their respective standards. The exk,ibl(lon will last two weeks. DAMROSCH LECTURES ON WAGNER'S OPERAS Describes Conflict of Tradition With Genius That Author Embodies in “Die Meistersinger.” A large audience greeted Walter Dam- rosch, the favorite Wagnerian lecturer, yesterday afternoon at the California the- ater. M~. Damrosch’s subject of the day was “Die Meistersinger” and the lecturer described the everlasting conflict of tra- dition with genius that Wagnér has em- bodied 'in this opera with apt and hus morous phrase. “Die Meistersinger” i3 ‘Wagner’s protest against the critic whe carps at the genius that finds expression in new forms and throughaut the opera parody of the older forms is used with fun and good humor. Mr. Damgosch’s next lecture will be upon “Tristan an Isolde,” and will take place next Tues- day afternoon. ————— Fame is a plant that cannot be forced in a hothouse.
