The races were few, but those who were fortunate enough to,win were | given handsome prizes. 4 The results of the races were as follows: Members’ race—First,”W. H. Egan; second, Frank H.

On the contrary, it is a prob- able blessing,” says the Brooklyn Eagle. “It meat could be raised to & price that would make it prohibitory it might still | be of good result, because it would teach those who depend almost entirely upon it to widen their dietary and learn to enjoy many good things ef which they are now | ignorant. To many, especiallyin the cities, there are but three foods—meat, potatoes | end bread. The weary monotony of this programme, the unsatisfied but indefinite longings for a widening of it, affect appe- tite and surely affect spirits and temper. “The laborer goes to his work filled with mesat, potatoes and bread. At noon he finds cold meat and bread in his din- ner pail, and at night he is confronted by meat and potatoes, sometimes separate, scmetimes combined into & greasy stew, sometimes chopped into hash. “This kind of thing filis him, but in & finer sense it can hardly be sald to feed him. Physicians have discovered that a limited and unchanging diet lowers vital- ity and health.” Buch a time as this gives every one an | opportunity to test the value of Grape- Nuts as a food and prove to themselves that it more than takes the place of meat end really furnishes more nourishment for the body and greater strength and vitality for the brain and nervous system; it is also an economical food that reduces the cost of living to the minimum. Grape-Nuts are probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly adapted food for buman needs now extant. The meat eater and the vegetarian are alike charmed with its crisp taste and the dell- cate flavor of grape sugar, and the care- ful housewife is attracted by the fact Ida Florence Fiest, who was married to Henry Clay Fiest in August, 1899, brought { suit for divorce yesterday on the ground | of extreme cruelty. She alleges that her | husbgnd caused her great suffering by | accising her of driving his two children by a former marriage out of their house, and by cursing and abusing her. She al- leges further that three months after their marriage Fiest took her engage- ment ring and solc¢ it for $140, and kept the money. On another occasion, alleges rs. Fiest, her husband came home at 6 a. m. and compelled her to get out of bed and go with him to the Morgue, where he insisted that she should gaze | upon the bodies on the slabs. Anna Charlotte Fergusson is suing Faul E. Fergusson for divorce, alleging that he has. treated her cruelly since their marriage in September, 1900. Fergusson, alleges his wife, has greatly humiliated her by borrowing money from her #ela- tives and friends. She alleges further that he frequently remains out all night, thereby causing her a great deal of worry. A suit for divorce was filed yesterday by R. H. Patterson against Clara Patter- gon on the ground of infidelity. Theodore Gertanner is named as co-respondent. Fannie Henry is suing John Henry for divorce for desertion, alleging that he left her in January, 1894, ten months af- ter their wedding. Florence Homan, who is being sued for divorce by Edward Homan, frnprietor of the Midway Plaisance, flled ananswer to her husband's complaint yesterday. She denies that she ever treated Homan in a cross-complaint alleges and deserted her without cause in April of last year. She alleges also that Homan, in association with the people whom he employed at the Mid- way, has caused her great humiliation and suffering. Charles P. Thurston is suing Cora E. Thurston for divorce for desertion. They were married at Los Angcles in May, 1886. Judge Murasky granted Martha J. Mar- shall a diyorce from Manuel Marshall yesterday for neglect. that there are fourteen portions in a 15 cent package. 1 { l WASHINGTON, May 14—The will of Sol Smith Russell, the actor, was filed to-day.

S T Death Finds Him With Little of His Great Fortune Remaining. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, May 4.—Richard G. Wil-| loughby, known along the coast as “Dick” ! Willoughby, one of the oidest pioneers | of Alaska, and a man who was one of | | the makers of the early history of the Pacific Coast and the Northwest, died here this morning at the age of 75 years. Willoughby came to Seattle last fall from ! Alaska and has been ill since that time | with a comvlication of diseases. i The life story®of the aged pioneer dates | back with the history of the first white | men that crossed the mountains to the Pacific Coast. He crossed the plains and mountains ffom Missouri to California in | 188, and was on the coast at the time of the great strikes of '45. He was suc-| cessful with others at that time. After the excitement in California he followed the coast north, landing at Seattle in| 1558, and went with the Thompson ex- | pedition that followed the Indians east | of the mountains. On the return of that expedition he went into British Columbia | and was one of the discoverers of the Caribou region, Ww. he made a big stake, washing out §125,000 in gold in a few davs. From Caribou he went to Cassiar adl | was one of the discoverers of that re- | gion. He spent three years there, mak- | Ing a big strike. In the early sixties he went to Alaska, locating on the coast | near where Fort Wrangel now stands. | He discovered the bay Whereon Juneau is | now located, Berners Bay, Sumdum,| Shledep Creek, Hunters Bay and other good | fields. | Willoughby became known to the great | naturaiists of both America and Europe through his study of natural history. He went all through Alaska, picking up cu- | rios and unearthing the bones of the | great mastodon and other extinct ani- ' mals, sending some of the most valuable ! of these to the large museums of the | world. A collection sent to the World's | Fair at Chicago was of great value to the students of natural history. His | knowledge of Alaska and its natural re- | | sources made him_ much sought oy ex- | ploring parties. He was the discoverer | of the Sllent City, one of the greatest phenomena of the world. It is a perfect |. | picture of a city without an inhabitant— a mirage over Muir Glacier. Despite his once great wealth, Wil- &ougt{:by had little at the time of his| eath. Licensed to Marry.

Brixton itBurglary" to Be Produced at the Alcazar---Benefit to Miss Marshall---Neills Are Crowding the California---Tivoli Draws Throngs f— =THOM SOMN~ ISS§ FANNY MCcINTYRE, the Central Theater's new leading lady, thinks Manager Fred Belasco one of the cleverest contract-makers in the country. She stated yesterday that Belasco painted San Francisco with such glowing colors that without a minute’s hesitation she packed her trunks and boarded a train en route for this city. Miss Mcintyre confi- dentially whispered that she was told by | Belasco that she could study her parts under the pines. Since heg arrival Miss Melntyre has been given the principal role in the celebrated emotional drama, “Woman Against Woman,” in which she makes her initial appearance next Mon- day night. With a fourteen-page manu- script in her hands the leading lady went in search of the pines, but was informed they were growing in Golden Gate Park. As she could not tell a pine from a spruce tree. she decided to study the role in her room. She therefore laid in a stock of sweet peas, and whenever she tired of her lines a Whiff of these fragrant flowers inspired her to go ahead with her studies. MissMcIntyre has a pleasing personality and possesses magnetism. She says love scenes are her long suit, and she dies beau- tifully on the stage. She expresses the hope that the gallery gods will not inter- rupt these emotional scenes by untimely interruptions, as they might throw her out of her stride. “Back in dear old Philadelphia,” she sald, “the gods and myself became aw- fully good friends. Why, they used tc call me Fanny, and of course I could not object to this famillarity, as they were all my friends. 1 piayed frequently in Boston, but I found the people a little ‘up stage.’ You know I mean they were too refined—too critical—but nevertheless I made good. I do hope I will please local audiences. I'll strive to do my best, and if personal effort will bring success I will surely become popular. “You have no twice-a-day theaters here, but you will have them, of course, before long, for I am told that the Ori- ental trade is going to make of San Fran- cisco a veritable New York of the West. Well, a twice-a-day theater is not so much of a pleasure to the actors as it may be profitable to the houses, perhaps, although one gets used to the every-day matinee after all. At Forepaugh's in Philadelphia I played for over a year twice a day, and I had a like experience at the American Theater, New York. T made a starring tour with Wiiton Lack- aye through the large cities of the East, and that was comparative ease and en- joyment. 1 appéared in ‘Lover's Lane’ at McVicker’'s in Chicago and gave a season of ‘Cymbeline’ in St. Louis, playing Imo- gen. My repertoire in the East included ‘The Sporting Duchess,” ‘The Little Minis- ter,’ ‘Under the Red Robe,’ ‘Aristocracy,’ ‘Camille’ and a host of other pepular plays. I know I shall be enamored of San Francisco. 1f Californians are all like those I have met in the East you can't help loving them. I suppose the climate here makes them that way—for they are pleasant, cheerful, agreeable, delightful. I imagine that I, too, shall be singing the praises of this Western land before long.” . s e John Drew in “The Second in Com- mand” has made the turn in the long lane of his career. Potent always for pleas- ure, he commands in the role of Major Christopher Bingham a power of pathos that fully equals his rich comedy gifts, and has created a figure that will stand out Gistinetively among the few distingufshed pertraits of the day. He is very well sup- perted in the interpretation of Captain Marshall’s play, Guy Standing as his lucky rival; Ida Conquest and the rest of the cast fulfilling all needs. The houses have been commensurate with the attrac- tions of the play and players, and to sup- ply the demand for seats there was given an extra matinee yesterday and another has been arranged for Wednesday next. Mr. Drew remains only two weeks. Miss Kathryn Kidder in a revival of “The Country Girl” follows. ‘ .ie - The Neills are being seen to particular advantage this week at the California Theater in Bronson Howard’'s comedy, “Aristocracy.” The company has spread itself on the production, in which are to be seen some of the handsomest costumes that have been shown on the local stage. Mr. Neill has the role of Jefferson Stock- ten, and does much for the part, being ably supported by Clifford Demggey, who is a very persuasive, princely villain. Miss Chapman {8 more than commonly good— which is saying not little—as Diana Stock- ton, and Miss Stone, the beauty of the company, acts and l0oks the part of Vir- ginia Stockton very becomingly. ‘“The Lottery of Love,” always a favorite with auaiences, will be next week’s bill. The vsual Thursday afternoon bargain mati- nees are on. & “Lost 24 Hours” is making Alcazar audi- ences very merry this week. Next week the popular little theater will have poesibly the most amusing of ‘the very recent farces in ‘“The Brixton Burglary,” by Fred W. Sidney. It has Leen the farcical success of on and New York for two seasons, and is certain to be much appreciated by local play- ers. The management is to be congrat- uiated on securing such an excellent at- traction, and will no doubt reap the bene- fit of its enterprise. The /farce will re- celve unusual care in its putting on, and there are to be some stunning gowns. Ry Next Friday evening the Central Thea- i + ACTRESS WHO WILL APPEAR IN LEADING ROLES AT THE CENTRAL THEATER. + ter will give a testimonial farewell benefit to its*popular leading lady, Miss Annette Marshall, who will take leave of the thea- ter for a season. “The World,” a spec- tacular melodrama, is the bill of the week, and is serving to astonish and delight the Central clientele with its startling me- chanical illusions and electrical effects. Next week in the new bill, “Woman Against Woman,” Miss Fannie MeclIntyre, the new leading lady, will make her first appearance. “Reilly and the 400” is delighting good bouses at the Grand Opera-house this week. Mr. Harrigan is of the very best in his line of work and has a valuable medium for the exercise of his pecullar talent in “Reilly and the 400,” also a product of the author-actor’s clever pen. The Grand Opera-house stock company does very good work in support, and the Lill is amusing large numbers of play- goers. “Waddy Googan” will be the next bill and the last of the Harrigan engage- ment. Miss Maude Fealey, youngest lead- ing lady on the stage, will follow in “The Little nister.” .« e e A night with the Elks, to take place at the Grand Opera-house next Tuesday, promises to be a gala affair. In addl- tion to Edward Harrigan and the Grand Opera-house company in “Waddy Goo- gan,” star attractions from the various theaters will appear. The sale of seats is now progressing at the box office, witn an immense demand, and the audience promises to be large and fashionable. The members of San Francisco Lodge No. 3 are working with might and main to « make tne affair a success, and many sur- vrises will be offered during the perform- ance. e e “The Singing Girl” still draws crowds to the popular Tivoll Opera-house, and there is no’ foretelling the end of the run of this pretty opera. The people are all well placed, and together with the orchestra and chorus make the piece go finely. To-night is ‘‘machinists’ night" at the Tivoli. After the present opera comes “The Toy Maker,” which scored such a hit with everybody last year. It will be given with an enlarged cast, new properties, songs and verses. 8w There are still overflowing houses at every performance of “Fiddle Dee Dee,” and the next Weber and Flelds pro- gr:mme is already exciting much inter- es o Siie il d Lew Sully is making a laughing hit at the Orpheum this week, as are also Ray- mond and Caverly and James F. Kelly and Dorothy Kent. Mile. Chester pre- sents one of the prettiest acts ever seen in this city with her statue dog, and Mr. and Mrs. Kelcy are pleasing witn “In Trust.” Julla Helnrich, the eminent con- tralto; Hilda Thomas and Lew Hall, in their_amusing’ skit, ““Miss Ambition,” and the Florenz troupe are in their last ap- pearances. Che The members of the Metropolitan Lifs Insurance Company are going to give their employes and the visiting officers of the company a monster entertainment on Saturday afternoon at Fischer’s Thea- ter, when “Fiddle Dee Dee’ will be given, with a few additional features tnat will prove extremely Intereltlni to the other g_alron- of the house on that afternoon.

As a rule the Republicans are more methodical and orderly in the work of preparing for a convention than the | Democrats. This year the Republicans of California are more earnest than ever before In their demands that the delegates to the convention shall be chosen by the voters of the party. Every scheme of the bosses to pack the convention with appointed delegates will be exposed and . resisted. The machine manipulators did expect to appiy to the State convention the system of tactics which gave them the upper hand in the late Repubjican Municipal Con- vention in this city. The day after the primary election in San Francisco the bosses began _shouting that Crimmins, Herrin and Burns had the convention. Candidates for * municipal office were advised to turn over to Burns the dele- | gates representing their individual strength. The silly aspirants who were | entrapped by this game got the rough end of the bargain. Several were defeated for nomination and others nominated and defeated at the polls. Immediately after primary election, August 12, the machine politicians will claim everything. Candidates for nomi- nation to the offices of Lieutenant Gov- ernor, Controller, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Attorrey General, State Print- er, Superintendent of Schools, Surveyor | and Clerk of the Supreme v ourt will be urged to hand over to the bosses what- ever strength they possess in several dele- gations. | “'The boss ery will be: “Hurry up and get aboard the band wagon.” The chances are three to one that every candidate Jjoining the boss procession will be turned down by the convention. In the first place, the stalwart Republicans who are battling for good government are as well organized as the boss forces. Indications point to the election of Hon Jacob H. Neft as chairman of the convention. The bosses have not openly named their can- didate, but certain movements in the boss camp disclose the identity of the statesman slated by the machine for the work of presiding over the convention. Other topics than the organization of the convention have recently claimed the attention of the machine managers. The increasing weakness of Gage as a candi- date for Governor and the apprehension in machine circles that he could not win out in November if nominated cannot be passed over lightly. Comment is made everywhere that a term of four years as Governor is high reward for the best kind of party service. The suggestion that Gage should hold the office eight years is not acceptable to thousands of voters who take but little interest in general politics, but who have pronounced opin- ions in the subject of fair dealing in pub- lic affairs. California has had many illus- trious Governors, but a term of four years was deemed sufficient honor for the reatest and best. The current of talk as suggested a change in the boss pro- gramme. Two months ago it was high treason in the boss camp to discuss the | danger of Gage’s defeat. Now such talk is common. Gage has been toid of his un- opularity. Of course, he dges not like | g) hear about it. He would rather hear ave Kevane, Ben Fehneman, Alec Tru- man and Johnny Mackenzie tell him that the people are so proud of his ability as an executive that they want him to serve as Governor for life. ————— Forty-First District Republican: The Forty-first Assembly District Cen- tral Republican Club held its first meet- ing last night at Steimke Hall on Octa- via street.
