C, Sept. 9.—Mrs. Isabella Kelly of Douglas Bay was this afternocn sentenced to a year's imprison- ment on the charge of torture and ex- treme cruelty to her niece, Myrtie Frances de Grek. For two days testi- mony in case has been heard and the recital w of horrifying incidents. The girl had been all but xilled. She was burned so that pleces of flesh on her arme and body were bare and raw and she had been beaten black and blue. Among other tortures she submitted to was a sort of water-cure treatment, a de- seription of which brought tears to the | eves of the jury. It was proved that the | woman had held the child on the floor while her young son poured boiling water into her mouth. The woman's defense in court was that the child had done the apparent injuries to herself in order to throw the blame on the defendant, but medical testimony owed that the wounds could not have been self-inflicted The little girl still in a pitiable con- dition and it be_months before she completely recovers. Most all of her hair had been pulled out or burned off. AMERICAN GENERALS AT GERMAN WAR MANEUVERS Invaders Representing Russians Gain a Superior Position in Prelimi- nary Skirmishes. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-ODER, Sept. 9. | —The war maneuvers began to-day. A | peaceful, suniit spread of country to the | west of here was covered by cavalry | searching the holiows and the woods for | the supposed enemy or seeking to catch | gitmpses of him from the ridges; by bat- | teries galloping into action through fields and by long lines of riflemen advancing | along a iwelve-mile Iront. Sausage- gnaped war balloons swung high in the air and there were many other signs of warlike activity. The artillery, of which the invading reds and the defending blues | have each about 100 pieces, came into ac- { tion, and there were sounds of irreguiar | nring along the far extended ironts. Six | or eight miles in the rear of the fighting | lines. were the generals command- ing the two contingents, General von Stuelpnagel of the reds, who | are consicered an invading Russian | army, and General von Lignitz of the biues, who fill the role of the German Gefending army. Field telegrapns spread tfan-like from the headquarters of each commanding gen to the extended fronts and on nearly every elevation was | established a telephone station. The gen- erals were advised of the situation and moved their forces from place to place. To-day was spent by the contending armies In playing for positions. It was an artillery duel, with occasional brushes between cavalry. The infantry never got into action. The German army of defense captured one gun from the Russians, but this was immediately retaken by the in- vaders. A cavalry detachment of the biues fell into the hands of the invaders, whe at the end of the day had gained the superfor position and were ready to push forward.

A special meeting was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock by the California Club in its parlors in the Y. M. C. A. Luilding, at the corner of Mason and El- ls streets, to entertain Mrs. Maud Bal- lington Booth and to listen to an address given by her on her work in the State prisons of America. Mrs. Booth was in- troduced to the club by its president, Mrs. George Law Smith, in a few well chosen words. Mrs. Booth, girlish of form and sweet of face, with a well modulated voice, talked for an hour and a half and many times brought tears to the eyes of her listeners. She kept enthralled women who for the first time probably, heard the prisoners’ side of the prisoners’ fall. She enlisted their sympathy by her stories, gieaned from actual knowledge and ex- plained to them, without reference or notes and without a moment’s hesitation, the”domgs on the other side of the prison walls, Mrs. Booth told how and why she had taken up the work of trying to redeem the criminals in the State prisons before they came out and how she came to found the Volunteer Prison League, whose mot- to is “Look Up and Hope,” and whose emblem is_a white button on the prison uniform. Mrs. Booth stated that there are now in the league 12,000 members and that the Volunteers of America have sent 3000 men into the world with an hqnest chance for an honest life. For nindteen years, Mrs. Booth sald, she had worked in this fleld, visiting the different State prisons and pergonally interviewing many of the men and addressing them in their cliapels. “We feel now,” Mrs. Booth sald, “that we are reaping what we sowed and that the geod work has taken root. If there are any of those here whose hearts have been touched by what they have listened e Chaplain W. H. Scott, President Joseph F. Forderer of the City Trustees delivered the following address: Friends and Fellow Citizens: On behalf of the members of the Board of City Trustees, I congratulate you all; and when I say all, I mean the entire population of Alameda and Bay Farm island—men, women and children. I congratulate you, not because you have fought a_great battle and won a great vietory to bring about_this improvement, but because our citi- zens have always been ready to do the things esary for the welfare of our children. never it became necessary in the past to build another school building, those in authority ked for and got it. When a new bullding for r High School became necessary, there was el to to-day, it would not be out of place perhaps to ask them for their sympathy and aid in order that this good work may continue and that the prisoners may be enabled at _the end of their terms to come out into the world to start afresh with an honest chance to begin life anew.’ After Mrs. Booth's address the ladies adjourned into the other parlors, which were very prettily decorated with wild popples and foliage and where tea was served. The following named members of the club and their guests were present to greet Mrs. Booth: Mrs. George Law Smith, Madame Emilia Tojettl, Mrs. Lillls, Mrs. J. G.

Fifty thousand dollars has been appropriated for its construction. e e e ot GUPID™ SHINES 85 POLITICIAN Hawaiian Republicans Nominate Him for Congress. Territorial - Convention met in Honolulu on September 1, and on the following day Prince Jonah Kalanianaole, popularly known as Prince Cupid, was unanimously nominated as the party's candidate for Delegate to Congress. The other candi- dates for the nomination were A. G. M. Robertson of Honolulu and Charles Gay of Kauai. Prince Cupid had the support of the native delegates and won an easy victory as soon as he announced himselt a Republican. On the same day that the Republicans made their nomination a meeting of mem- bers of the Democratic Central Commit- tee was held and a fusion with the Home Rule party was arranged. The Democrats agreed to indorse R. W. Wilcox for re- election to Congress, and the Home Rulers are to give a number of Demo- crats places on their legislative ticket. The deal, however, is repudiated by many Democrats, who object to the indorse- ment of Wilcox. It will probably make it certain that there will be only two can- didates in the field, and Wilcox and Prince Cupid will therefore fight it out alone. Prince Cupid was one of the heirs to the Hawailan throne. Home Rulers up to the time of the hold- ing of the Home Rule converr- | tion a few weeks ago, when Ihe led a bolt from the ' conven- organized a new party, known as the Koakua. Since then he has toured the islands In opposition to Wilcox, and he appeared to have strong supporters In all distriets, - It is sald thac he will have the support of the former Queen against Wil- cox. 4 The platform adopted by the Republi- cans contains a demand that city and ceunty government be established In Hawail as soon as possible. The native proposition, and demanded a plank re imring the Republican members of the egislature to pledge themselves to the passage of a county government act at once.

Merry, clerk and stenographer of the Fifth District Court, on n‘:ugl, was reported missing last week, and news was received from Kauai yesterday to the ef- fect that his body had been found in a forest, with evidence of death from a pis- tol wound. It is thought that he mitted sulcide while temporarily insane. Merry came here several years ago from Ann Arbor and was employed in a local Jaw office.

Passengers Are Picked Up by the Spokane and’ Taken to Skagway. PSR SEATTLE, Sept. 9.—The steamer Cot- tage City, of the Paecific Coast Steamship Company, went ashore at 10:20 o'clock on Sunaay night on Isiand Point, Etelin Island, Stickeen Stralt, twenty miles south of Fort Wrangel. She now lies sixty feet forward on the rocks. Fifty feet of keel are gone and her forefoot is ary at low water. The steamer ifilied aft, id the litrficane deck to the top of the smoking-room s under water at high tide. Sne s weil sheitered, and it 18 be- lieved a bulkhead can be built inside and the ship floated. The 10 passengers of the Cottage City were transferred to the steamer Spokane, of the same company, which came along three hours after the accident, bound northward. They were taken to Skagway and wiil return south on the Spokane. The Cottage City was bound for Seattle when the accident occurred, and was due to ar- rive here to-mofrow. More than & hun- dred tons of cargo were jettisoned. The remainder of the cargo, consisting chiefly of salmon, was transferred to lighters and got ashore. De s of how the aceldent occurred are yet The Cottage City was com- anded by Captain David Wallace. She is @ wooden vessel, which probably ae- counts for the fact that she did not break to pleces on the rocks. From official re- ports to the headquarters of the company here it is said there is no doubt that the vessel will be floated and repaifed un- storms of unusual severity Inter- vene. The Cottage City was buflt in Bath, Me., In 1891. She was brought by the Pacific Coast Steamship Compaay around the Horn five years ago. She was on the Lynn Canal run, and has never been onm any other since coming to the coast. VAST TIMBER TRACTS ARE SWEPT BY FIRE Enormous Damag: Done in the Moun- tains Near Tillamook, Oregon. TILLAMOOK, Or., Sept. 9.—Forest fites in the mountains near here are Jaying waste millions of feet of valuabM tim- ber. A fire is burning flercely on Wilson River, about eight miles from here, where | the new fish hatchery is being put in. So fierce has the fire become that the people living in the vicinity came to this ecity for safety. Another conflagration is burning in the foothills and is causing much damage among the farmers. o | emoke is dense in this city and ashes fell for miles around. The stage with the mail was unable to get through. Reports to-day from Wilson River say that two fires are now burning flercely, with a strong wind.

Smith dled he left a will bequeathing his estate, valued at several hun- Gred thousand dollars, to his sister. She died, and the provisions of the will made her daughter, now Mrs. Mae Helene Bacon Boggs, sole beneficiary. The latter was appointed executrix of the will. Im- | mediately thereafter Mrs. McKinney | Smith, claiming to be a widow of the de- | ceased merchant, began a contest. | Last night, on affiaavit of Mrs. MeKin- ney Smith, Mrs. Bogss was suspended as executrix, on the ground that she has appropriated to her own use about 350,000 worth of corporation stock belonging to the estate. She will now be compelled to appear in court and show cause why the letters granted her should not be en- tirely revoked. Confidence Man Finds a Vietim.
