Will Have Magnificent Store ‘Where Once Stood the Baldwin Hotel Basement and First Two Floors of New Flood Buildipg Will Be Occupied by the East- ern Merchant. That the eyes of the great financiers and merchant princes of the East- ern Stftes are longingly turned toward the opportunities offered by San Fran- cisco for profitable investment is more demonstrated by the ne which The Call is in a position to give | this morning of the determination of John Wanamaker to open an establish- ment in tms oy that will rival his mag- niticent ihilacelphia and New York stores. Wanamaker has already signed the lease for the basement and first two Hoors of the new and imposing buiiding which 1S being erected by J. C. ¥lood on the site | where once stood the Baldwin Hotel, at the corner of Market and Powell streets. “The coming of John Wanamaker as a permanent mfluence in the commercial world of this city is evidence indeed of the growing importance of the com- munity and shows that some of the fore- most financiers of the word look upon tnis wonderfully favored metropolis a= a most advantageous ground for tne Invest- ment of many miilions of money. John Wanamaker is one of the most conservative and at the same. time one of the most fortunate of America’s cap- talists. 1t is only some SiX years ago that he added to his famous Philadeipha | store the great establishment of the late A. T. Stewart of New York City, which until that time was conducted by a com- pany at the head.of which was the late Judge Hilton. The establishment under the Hilton management could not be made to pay. Whether the failure was due ‘to the extravagance of Judge Hil- ton’s sons and son-in-law, who comprised the partnership, or to other reasons was never satisfactorily explained, but the fact remains that until John Wanamaker took hoid of the immense establishment | the business had proved a disastrous failure. Z No sooner was the magic name of W sl;‘xlz- e ever since been thronged by patrons at all hours of the day and at all seasons of the vear. The Wanamaker store of San Fran- cisco is to be conducted on the same lib- eral principles that characterize the con- duct of his establishments in the Eastern cities, with the difference that in the new building being erected by Flood he will have the rare advantage of an absolutely modern building, combining every con- venience and architectural elegance. When Pierpont Morgan was here with the Episcopal Bishops last autumn he made the remark that San Francisco was hardly aware of her unlimited possibill- ties, but evidently there were Eastern men at that time who were keeping a watchful eye on the city’s development. Perhaps to the far-seeing Morgan is due this welcomed desire of Eastern financlers to come here and invest their fabulous capital. Medical Talk a Family Magazine. Medical Talk is the name of one of the Tecent but popular medical magazines before the public to-day. The April issue ap- pears in a unique, up-to-date magazine cover, an ornament to any library table. Medical Talk is in the third year of its existence and fleld_never before accomplished in journalism. This magazine undertakes to in- terpret to the people what is going on in the medical world as revealed by the numberless medical journals intended for_the doctor .only. It brings to the household important facts hid- den from the people by medical technicalities. It deals in a popular way with such questions as vaccination, sanitary laws, cremation, diet- ary rules, and all drugless methods of healing disease. We predict great popularity: for this new venture in journalism and congratulate the publishers on the artistic dress in which their April issue appears.

Mrs. Guardiola sets forth in the deposition, which was taken in Paris, where she re- sides, that she witnessed the making of the will, and her testimony is corrobo- rated by David Cahn, banker, who with Mrs. Guardlola, signed the document as a witness. The deposition practically disposes of a contest over the estate of the wealthy Guatemalan planter. When the disputed will, which gives the vast estate of Guar- diola to his wife and daughter, was filed here, a second will executed by the plant- ei ten years before was presented for probate by ‘Page, McCutchen & Page, who claimed that it was the last testa- ment of the deceased. Sigmund Green of the London, Parls and American Bank petitioned for letters of administration upon the estate, acting under direction of the widow. The Pub- lic Administrator also petitioned for let- ters of administration, claiming that neither of the wills was operative in Cal- ifornia. The petitions will be heard by Judge Troutt to-morrow. Guardlola’s estate is estimated to be worth $25,000,000. The greater porgion of it is located in Guatemala, where /juardi- ola was interested in mines and shipping. The groperty in this city is wgrth sev- eral hundred thousand dollars. > Mrs. Guardiola is but 31 ygars of age. Her husband at the time of Uis death was more than 70. e — LOW RATE IS SECJRED FOR BAKXRSFIELD TRIP Business Men of the City Nearing Conclusion of Arrangements for Visiting Carnival. The committee to arrange for the com- ing trip of San Francisco's business men to Bakersfield to attend the carnival and street fair, has secured a rate from the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Ralilroad Penyle of $12 90 for the round trip, which ncludes the sleeper. The committee has also been working over the itinerary and has modified the original plan so that in addition to Bakersfield, a visit will be paid to Visalla, Hanford, Tulare, Fresno and Madera on the homeward trip. In order to ascertain how many busi- ness men will make the Bakersfield ex- cursion, a letter has been addressed by the committee of arrangements to the sec- retaries of the several commercial bodles of the city, requesti: that the members of the various organizations who intend to go repont to the committee not later than May 1. That will give sufficient time to make the final arrangements, as the start will not be made until the following week. g IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES ATTEND MUSTERING IN OF THE COMPANY Many Members of Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias of This City and Oakland Attend the Election and Installation of Officers Who Are to Take Command of a New Body of the Order — g Tuore OFFICERS OF SAN FRANCISCO Sr S COMPANY OF THE UNIFORM RANK, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. oo NOTHER company of the Uni- form Rank of the Knights of Pythias ' was mustered in last night at 316 O'Farrell street. Brigadier General A. H. Arndt was the mustering in officer, and he was assisted by Brigadier General Herman Schaffner (retired), Colonel J. P. Abott and Colonel George Samuel.

About twenty members of Golden Gate Company of this city were present at the ceremony, together with a like L e S e e e GIUSEPPI ERTOLA UPSET AND KILLED BY A DOG Meets With Accident While Return- ing From Work and Receives a Fractured Skull. A frighfened cur dog belonging to a Japanese accidentally caused the death of Gluseppi Ertola, a plumber residing with his family at /1510 Dupont street. Er- tola was returning home from work last Monday afternoon, and when he reached the corner of Dupont and Pine streets the dog ran between his legs, tripping him up. Ertola fell heavily to the pavement, striking_his head against the curb, frac- turing his skull. He was taken to his home, where after telling his wife and, friends how the accident happened ' he lapsed into unconsclousness and died at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. He was secretary of the Garibaldl Guards and left a wide circle of friends. SANTA ROSA, April 22.—Articles of incor- poration of the Santa Rosa Woolen Mills were filed here to-day.

Sefoefeefeleferloie ot @ SIXTY-ONE CANDLES IN HIS BIRTHDAY CAKE Col. W. D. Sanborn of the Burlington Receives a Pleasant Surprise at His Office. The men on “railway row"” are having a great laugh on Colonel W. D. Sanborn, general agent of the Burlington route in this city. Yesterday Colonel Sanborn celebrated his fifty-first birthday. On his arrival at the office in the morning he found an elaborate birthday cake placed on the top of his desk. The cake was brilllantly illuminated with sixty-one candles, which had been lirhted prepara- tory to his arrival. Colonel Sanborn prides himself upon his youthful appearance and the placing of sixty-one candles on the cake he deemed a gross libel. He declares that A. Ot- tinger, the ticket broker, sent the cake over to him. —_—— WOODLAND, April 22.—Claude Rhodes of Woodland has received a Government appoint- ment.

Describes His Actions After Striking of Murderous Blow. The taking of testimony at the trial of John T. Riley, charged with the murder of Otto Ekbert, a non-union teamster, on Townsend street, between Third and Fourth, on November 9 last, was com- menced before a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday. The defendant’s mother and wife sat beside him. Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Greaney conducted the prosecution, and the defendant was rep- resented by Attorney John J. Barrett. The most important witness examined was Mrs. Alma Miller of 32 Clyde street. She testified that on the evening of No- vember 9, about 6:05 o’clock, she was on her way home from the cornmer grocery. It was raining hard at the time. She ob- served a man walking in front of her, and when she was within three feet of | him another man, whom she positively identified; as the defendant, struck the man in front of her a violent blow on the left side of the head with a piece of pipe. The assaulted man, who was Ekbert, fell to the ground on his hands and knee: and then with a groan fell flat on hi face. The defendant dropped the piece of pipe, stooped and turned Ekbert's fac upward, looked at it and then dropped it. The defendant then walked away along Ritch street. When the defendant rose from his stooping position she had a look | at the side of his face. She also got a | good look at his back while he walked away. She was cross-examined at con- siderable length as to alleged contradic- tory statements she had made, but stuck to her story that the defendant was the man who struck the fatal blow. Detective T. B. Gibson, who arrested the defendant, testified to a statement made by the latter at the time of his ar- rest in an opium resort at 512 Bush street that he had been at the office of Nolan, Jones & Manning, for whom Ekbert worked, at 5 o’clock on the afternoon of November 9, and was at 512 Bush street at 7 o’clock’ smoking opium with two of his friends. He also testified to findin the mate of the iron roller with which | Ekbert was struck in another truck in Nolan, Jones & Manning's barn. The other witnesses examined were Cor- poral George W. Russell, who produced a | diagram of the scene of the murder; Po- liceman David Koegel and William E. Jones of the draying company, who came acrgss Ekbert’s body on Townsend street. Ekierl had been employed by the com pany for about three months and drove the truck formerly driven by the defend- ant, who had given up His job voluntarily prior to the strike. The case will go on this morning. PRESENTS “TOM PINCH” IN GRATIFYING MANNER Tears, the highest tribute to the actor's art, were Mr. Willard's in abundance last | nright for his exquisite characterization | of Tom Pinch, one of the quaintest of the Dickens creations. More applause than has greeted the clever player during his present engagement was also his, and the second curtain fell amid applause that lasted until it was again raised for the last act. “Tom Pinch” is rather a series of pic- tures than a play proper, however, a very discreet and _characteristic _selection of scenes from the novel. All of the “Martin Chuzzlewit” characters of prominence ap- pear in the cast, and the chief incidents of the book are woven into a pleasing | summary of the story. The first act drags in places, but in the second and third the dramatic quality, with the help of the good character drawing, holds the inter- est very effectively. Again the strength of Mr. Willard's company was exhibited in gratifying manner. As Tom Pinch Mr. Willard him- | self has a part that suits his personality | without a wrinkle. He manages com- pletely to obscure his natural grace in the gentle awkwardness of the fine, sim- ple ‘fellow and without a suggestion of | caricature paints the portrait with fasci- nating faithfulness. It is wonderfully finished work, and with a fine, true note of pathos struck throughout. There were many wet eyes in the house as Tom, with | his shattered Pecksniff before his eyes, is driven from the only home he knows, | manfully silent, though a word would save him. The immortal Pecksniff was well done, but_not in quite sufficiently oily vein, by H. Barfoot. His discomfiture was keenly | enjoyed by the audience, who took a childlike delight in seeing the .smug villain unmasked. J. G. Taylor was excel- lent as old Martin Chuzzlewit, and an- other very convineing bit of work was the Mark Tapley of Ernest Stallard. Miss Ellen O'Malley was a very dainty Mary Graham, looking and acting the part with much charm. The rest of the cast was acceptably fiiled and the staging was of the best. “Tom Pinch” goes for to-night and to-morrow evening. e The Best Fountain Pens.
