These philanthropic women who have had this matter in hand for some years worked with a will until they succeeded in procuring a lot on Bush street, be- tween Mason and Powell. At the outset the erection and completion of such a building as was contemplated seemed an | impossibility, as they had no means last syndicate. The properties are among the best kuown in San Diego County, and represent the most extensive development done in the Jullan distfict, one of the promising ones in that sec- tion. Local capital s also reported to have about found investment there. A company or- ganized in Los Angeles is believed to have about closed for the Banner mine, owned by Balley Bros. This property 1s developed enough to show -excellent ore bodies, and the proposition now considered is for the bonding of it for a year.

R — MISSIONARY IS WELCOMED AFTER LONG ABSENCE Miss Ellen Parsons Receives Con- gratulations of Friends and Relates Experiences. Miss ‘Ellen Parsons, who -arrived last Tuesday in the city from a tour of the mission flelds in the Orient, was tendered a reception yesterday afternoon by the Woman's Occidental Board of Foreign Missions at the Mission Home, Sacra- mento street. After a hearty greeting by those who came to do the traveler honor, Miss Parsons gave a most interesting and instructive account of her journey, tell- ing of her meeting with many far away on the mission fields who were well known to the assembled friends. The advancement of the Syrians and the Indians and others of the Orient under the instruction of the missionaries was graphically told by Miss Parsons. Among the large number who came to welcome the guest of the Mission Home were: President, Mrs, C. 8. Wright; honorary pres- Browne, San Rafael; vice Mrs. ident, Mrs’ P, D, presidents,” Mrs. A, Kelley, Garrette, ' Mrs. B V. ple, Mrs, Thomas Day, Mrs. John Gamble, Mrs. John Hemphill, Mrs. J. G.

The reception hall and the sit- ting rooms have been so arranged_ that every girl can invite her friends and feel a just pride in the superior surroundings. There are baths and, besides, every con- venience can be found in the establish- ment that would be expected in ‘one of the most modern and expensive of hotels. With a view of improving the hours of the girls, the board of directors and as- sociate directors have planned recreations in conjunction with useful and pleasant studies. For instance, for those who care to avail themselves of instruction in the higher form of art there are evening classes in singing and musie, elocution and painting and languages and physical culture, the various branches being under the direction of Miss Trouette. LUXURY REASONABLE. The rate charged each guest is $16 a month, which includes board and b‘n!hf». and those who are inclined to take in- struction are charged $1 50 per month for a course In any one class. The directors do not look for profit from the receipts of the hotel, but are naturally anxious to keep it out of debt and up to the high standard planned for it. They are work- ing with a will to pay the jinterest of $216 monthly on the money they borrowed to erect the building. Very few people of the city are so far aware of the ad- vance the board has made in building the handsome new structure and there are not so many who know that there is so admirable and useful an institution in San Francisco as the Woman's Hotel. Visitors are welcomed to the establish- | ment daily by Mrs. McDowell, the ma- tron, who is ready to give whatever in- formation is sought. The following are the officers of the ho- tel: rs. J. S. Belcher, president; Mrs. W. E. Dennison, first vice president; Mrs, E. B. Young, second vice president; Mrs. . Houston, secretary; Mrs. R. R. Has- kell, treasurer; assoclate directors—Mrs. J. Brandt, Mrs. Carpenter, Mrs. Sweat, Mrs. Wainwright, Mrs. B. Sanborn and Mrs., J. Stow Ballard. HOME OF PRESS . CLUB IS S Six Story Building Nets Six Per Cent on Price Paid. SR R A Other Valuable Realty Is Purchased in the City Center. The home of the Press Club has been sold. The six-story building and lot upon which it stands at the corner of Ellis and Glasgow streets have found a new owner, the consideration being $132,500. Not long ago the property was offered for $125,000 but found no purchaser. The sale has been kept quiet for some reason. Ray- izend, Armstrong & Co., who are known to be the brokers who effected the sale, declined to furnish any information con- cerning the purchaser. The former owner was W. J. Somers. The Press Club oc- capies the two upper stories of the build- ing. The remainder of the structure is tenanted by physicians with the exception of a store on the ground floor. The building is about four years old. It is!/ substantially built and has a foundation sufficiently ‘solid to uphold two more stories. It is understood that the new owner purchased for an investment. At the price realized the rents bring in a net income of 6 per cent per annum. The lot is 36:6x89:6 reet. D. E. Easterbrook has sold through Hooker & Lent a four-story building and lot on the north line of Sutter street, 35 fcet west from Grant avenue, 52:6X126 | feet, for $93,500. The property pays a present income of $50 per month. Thomas Magee & Sons have sold for | Edith Cook the southeast corner of | Drumm and Commercial streets, 30x70 feet with an L of 25x281% feet for $19,500. One year ago Thomas Magee Jr. bough! the property for §14,650. Last March Mr. Magee sold to Edith Cook for $17,400. She Las ‘now netted a profit of $2100 by the resale. — CATHERINE WALDRON DIES OF GAS ASPHYXIATION Having Lost Her Sense of Smell, Her Friends Think Death Was Accidental. Catherine Waldron, a dressmaker, 22 vears of age, died yesterday morning from gas asphyxiation. Miss Waldron, in the best of spirits, went to her room at 828 O'Farrell street last Monday night. On Tuesday morning Mrs. Crowley, the land- lady, smelled the odor of illuminating gas and traced it to Miss Waldron's room. The door was closed, but not locked, and when Mrs. Crowley entered she found Miss Waldron lying unconscious in bed. A gas plate on which the young woman had been accustomed to boil water for her coffee every morning was in the room and was connected with a gas burner by | tubing. The key on the gas burner and | that on the gas plate were partly open | and the gas was escaping from the plate. | Medical aid was summoned, but Miss Waldron did not regain consciousness | and lingered until 10 o'clock yesterday | morning, when she died. Her friends informed Deputy Coroner Brown that Miss Waldron had been suf- fering from neuralgia for the past three | years and lost her sense of smell by rea- | son of the disease two years ago. They do not think that she committed suicide. | An inauest will be hel —_———— FINES FOR SMUGGLING | TO BE PAID TO-DAY | Nearly Five Thousand Dollars the Penalty Imposed by Law Upon | Two Ladies. | Customs Collector Stratton made public | vestgrday the result of the appraisement and the fixing of the penaltles against Mrs. Charles Boettcher of Denver, Colo., | and Miss Nellie McMurtrie for smuggling | a large quantity of goods from the Orient. | Mrs, Bottcher was fined $2937 30 and Miss McMurtrie $1510 08, three times the value | of the goods, which sums will be paid into | the Custom-house this morning. The | goods have-been confiscated and will be | sold by auction for the benfit of the Gov- ernment. The matter of instituting criminal pro- ceedings against the ladies for smuggling has been referred to United States At- torney Woodworth. It is belleved, how: ever, that as_the ladies are highly con- nected, Mrs. Boettcher being the wife of a prominent banker of Denver, the Sec- retary of the Treasury will relleve Mr. Woodworth of the unpleasant duty of prosecuting them. ————————— HERMANN HERTZEL TELLS ABOUT HIS DEAD WIFE Is Informed of Her Misconduct by an Observing Lady Neighbor in Fruitvale. Hermann Hertzel, husband of the woman who aied on the steps of 282 Natoma street last Thursday night, informed Deputy Coroner McCormick yesterday that his wife separated from him last Monday and that she had been drinking to excess for several months. Acting on information furnished by Mrs. Belig, who lives oppo- site the Hertzel residence in Fruitvale, he surprised his wife two months ago writing a love letter addressed to an ex- soldier named John McConnell, who was called ‘“‘sweetheart’” in the note. The husband took the uncompleted letter from his wife and since that time they had had | repeated quarrels growing out of his charges of infidelity. l The autopsy disclosed cirrhosis of the! Kidneys and alcoholism as the probable | cause of death. In the stocking of the dead woman was found a bottle of Jaudanum. The stomach and contents have been sent to the City Chemist for analysis. —_——————— News in Army Circles. Major Devol reports that the transport Lawton sailed from Nagasaki yesterday. Captain H. F.
