His wife had in- formed Manuel that the bluejays had been stealing eggs from. under a setting hen.

Their son, Manuel Jo- seph Jr., was sitting opposite his mother at the fime and corroborates the state. ment made by the father.

F. Hill Is Asphy x- iated While Asleep in His Bed. Aged Wife Almost| Succumbs to Pois-= onous Vapor. Opportune Visit of Daughter Saves Life of Mother-. James F. Hill, an aged resident of this city, was asphyxiated yesterday morning | while asleep in a room in the rear of his | saloon at 34 Bluxome street. His aged; wife, who was sleeping by his side, had a very narrow escape from accompanying her husband on his last journey; as it is she is in a precarious condition and the physician who was summoned had to re- sort to artificial respiration to prolong life. The death of Mr. Hill was in all probability the result of an accident. It {s supposed that his wife, who is en- feebled by age, made a mistake and turned on the gas in the saloon before re- tiring. Shortly after 10 o’clock yesterday morn- ing when Mrs. Mary E. Skinner, a daugh- ter of the unfortunate couple, went to visit her parents she found the saloon door locked. She went around to the rear and on looking through a window saw that her parents were apparently still asleep. She called to them and as they éid not answer she broke the window. When she found that the room was full | of gas, she secured the assistance of her | brother-in-law, Martin S. Keage, who re- | sides in a flat over the saloon and effected an entrance through the rear door. { They found that a gas jet in the saldon | was turned on almost to the full extent | and that the doors leading from the sleep- | ing apartment of the aged couple were‘ | open. A light was burning in an inter- | mediate room and the Coroner thinks it surprising that the gas which accumu- | | lated in the rooms did not explode, | Dr. Morris Harvey was immediately | summoned and found that Hill was past | all need of medical treatment and that| his wife was almost dead. The doctor worked over Mrs. Hill until late in the afternoon. At that time she had not| fain&d‘ consciousness and was breathing heavily. use of her advanced age and on account of her failing health the dcctor fears that she may not survive the | effects of the polsonous vapor. For thirty-three vears Hill and his wife had resided at Bluxome street, where he kept the Whitehouse Exchange. It is| claimed that he constructed the first| house in that portion of the city south of | Harrison street. He was 70 years of age | and was a Scotchman h%_g{fl.h, He was | suffering from~ a“weakened heart and it | is thought that this may have assisted the gas in its deadly work. Mrs. Hill has passed her sixtieth year. Hill was the father of ten children, four of whom are stili llving, They are Mrs. Mary E. Skin- ner, Mrs. Martin S. Keane, John P. Hill and James B. Hiil. The deceased leaves considerable property, including a ranch at Livermore. SUBJECTS OF SERMONS FOR SUNDAY SERVICES Topics Chosen by Pastors of This City for the Sabbath Day.

TINY RUTH ROWLAND MOURNS FOR HER DEPARTED MOTHER Child Actress Who Has Seen Many Sides of Life in Young Career Suffers Knowledge of Her Own Domestic Tragedy. S ITTLE Ruth Rowland, daugh- ter of Mrs. Lillle Friend, who died from the effects of poi- son taken with suicidal intent Friday evening at the ferry building, has truly seen the seamy side of life. She has met while in the pursuit of the living she was making for herself and her mother, for whom she now weeps, with many in- cidents which are more usually encoun- tered by her elders. Even when of very tender years little Ruth sang and danced in public and traveled from town to town with her trunks and her stage costumes, a fuil-fledged professional entertainer. Though with all the hard work attendant on the calling, the child met those peo- ple who are generous to a fault, the actor and the actress, who are kindly and good companions of the youth of the stage. She, like all “stage children,” received at- tention that an adult could never hove tor, and that same generous treatment in a great measure accounts for the con- stant brightness and the ever smiling countenance of the child who is put for a livelihood among Thespians. Ruth was devoted to her mother, the love was returned and the child is old enough to appreciate the awful loss that — £ CHILD ACTRESS WHO IS LEFT AN ORPHAN BY MOTHER'S - | for the stage is hard on a child, the manner of the instruction given Ruth was such as to lessen the burden that is attendant on a public appearance. 2 The child has often appeared in this city, and her performances at the Chutes a year ago last June were considered ex- tremely meritorious. It was while on a tour and traveling East three_years ago that her mother, then Mrs. Rowland, met Charles Friend, an employe of the Santa Fe. The couple returned to California husband and wife and took up their residence in Stockton, and later, about a year and a f ago, Mrs. Friend conducted a restaurant in vicinity of the Chutes, then In course of construction and where Friend was em- ployed as a laborer. The restaurant does not seem to have prospered and the family moved away from the vicinity of the park. The man- agement of the Chutes was ready at any time to renew an engagement with Ruth. The news of Mrs. end’s suicide came to all at the grounds as a great surprise, as the deceased was considered to be a woman of even spirits and of cheerful disposition. An examination of the body was made at the Morgue yesterday and it was found that death was due to carbolic acid poisoning. The remains were removed sul uent- hus befallen her.

Steinle at his residence, 1480 Vallejo street. Friday night, was accidental, and his brother -Louis, who surrendered himselt to the police, was dischatged by Chief Wittman yesterday afternoon at the doc- tor’s request. ¢ Louis’ statement, which was entirely corroborated by Dr. Steinle in an inter- view with Detective Dillon at the Wal- deck sanatorium, was to the effect that he had procured the revolver from hjs father, and when he and his father called at the doctor’s residence Louis, in pres- ence of his brother’s wife, who was out- side, fired off all the cartridges in the re- Volver, as he thought. The doctor's son was showing a toy cannon to his uncle in the dining-room, when the latter drew the revolver out of his pocket and said, “You should get a weapon like that.” The doctor told him to be careful, and he replied, as he pulled the trigger two or three times, “You see, it is not load- ed.” Then the weapon exploded and the doctor said he had been shot. The lady who accompanied_the doctor to the sana- torium was Mrs. Price, an intimate friend family. o”l‘%\heebullétywu extracted from the doc- tor's abdomen yesterday morning and ro serious results are anticipated. ——————————— OAMP McCOY CELEBRATES THE FOURTH OF JULY l['embeu- of the Yo_u;g Men’s Chris- tian Association Enjoy Them- selves Near Guerneville. .

From the line of fire, as shown by the marks, it was evident that the bullet had been - charged by some remn on the roof or in the upper story of the building across the street. In its course from the window to the door it passed over the desk at which Office Deputy Farish sits and on & level with his head.
