He demonstrated that the development and control and growth of plants, even to the root and leaf, had been accom- plished by Loeb. . —e—— Change of Time.

H. McKee, 91 Broadway, Buffalo, Miss Phillips arrived in San Francisco last month from Buffalo, bearing letters of recommendation from E. P.

She finally went to work for A. Kitsu, a Japanese merchant, who has a store in the Starr King building, on Geary street. and who also published a small journal. She left this position the middle of last week and has not worked nee. he was extremely reticent about her- Thomas C. also Dr. Y. self and her past life. During her short stay in the cit made no friends, and the only caller she had was a medical student named Karl Fuhrmann, who 1ocmed at the Angelus and with whom she rerewed an acquaintance made some years before in Buffalo. Even to him she told nothing of her reasons for leaving her home and coming to the Pacific Coast. She did tell him, though, that she was very unhappy and that she had in her trunk a poison which she might take some night to end her troubles. From the tenor of her remarks he thought she had met with some disappointment in love, and her journey to the West was for the purpose of trying to forget what had so deeply wounded her heart. Fuhrmann called on her Sunday night and remained with her until 11 o'clock, when he left. He says she was unusually despondent, but he had no idé¥ she con- templated suicide. It must have been soon after his departure that she took the fatal dose of cyanide. She had not un- dressed, but lay on the couch in the same gflblliments she had worn on the previous ay. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the chambermaid, in her round of cleaning, reached Miss Phillips’ door. Repeated rappings failed to elicit a response and the maid summoned Mrs. Caroline Nel- son, the landlady, who entered the room and discovered the body. The morgue of- ficials were immediately notified and the corpse taken in charge by them. Besides her clothing and jewelry. of which there was quite a quantity, $11 05 was found in the dead woman's purse, and a bank book of the Buffalo ‘Savings Bank showed that she had a balance at that institution of $4. All that could be learned of the young ‘woman here, was that while in Buffalo she lived with a married sister named Mrs. Anna Kanzelmann, from whom she reg- ularly received letters. None of these let- ters were found in her room and evident- Iy_they had been destroyed. Miss Phillops was prepossessing in ap- pearance, quiet and refined in manner and readily made friends with all those whom she admitted to her acquaintance. Don’t Go Barefooted.

The ordinance continues: The necessity for the acquisition of the Geary street raliroad is that the charter of the city gounty of San Francisco expressly de- clareg it to be the “‘purpose and intention of the 1eople of the city and county that its public utilities shall be gradually acquired and ulti- mately owned by the city and county,” and, as the franchises to operate a street railroad on Geary street, Point Lobos avenue and other highways, granted by order No. 1469, order No. 1515 and order No. 2290 of the Board of Super- visors, will expire on the 6th day of November, 1003, the Board of Supervisors deems it for the best interests of the city and county and its inhabitants that the ofty and county perma- nently acquire, own and operate the street rafiroad. Bonds of the city and county of San Fran- | cigco shall issue to the amount of $700,000 for | the payment of the cost of said street railroad, provided that the proposition be accepted by two-thirds of the electors voting thereon at said special election. Not less than one-forti- eth part of the whole amount of indebtedgess shall be paid each and every year, on a day and at a place to be fixed by the Supervisors, together with the interest on all sums unpaid at such date, Another ordinance was passed to print ealling a second speclal election on Thursday, December 4, 1802, for the pur- pose of submitting elght charter amend- ments to the people. One ofsthese amend- ments is intended to simplify the method of submitting propositions for the acquisi- tion of public utilities so that more than one may be submitted at the same elec- tion. e other proposed amendments in- eclude provisions for progress payments on public contracts, relief for veteran fire- men and raising the Assessor's salary from $4000 to per annum.

DENTH LA MRS, KIERNS Captain Martin has detalled Detective Bailey to make a thorough investigation into the case of Mrs. Annie Kierns, who, suffering from pneumonia, was taken from her home at 853% Folsom street Sun- day night to the Emergency Hospital in a dylng condition. Mrs. Kierns died at 6:40 o'clock last night. ‘When Policemen Gaughran and Clarke entered the house Sunday night they found Mrs. Kierns lying half out of bed, as If she had been struggling to rise, and her two sons, James and George, were in the room, stupidly’ drunk. One was stretched out on the floor and the other was seated on a chair. Both sons were booked on a charge of drunkermess, but later instructions were given that they were not to be released, owing to state- ments made by their mother. Mrs. Kierns was found to have several bruises on her head and limbs. She told Dr. Maher at the BEmergency Hospital that her sons had beaten her because she had refused to give them money to buy more drink. It was on this statement that the sons were detained in the City Prison. Detective Bailey quInlormed yester- s day afternoon by Maher. that Mrs. Kierns had made another statement to him that the bruises on her head and body were caused by a fall and that her sons had not beaten her. According to Dr. Maher the bruises had the appearance of being about two weeks old. Bhe was in a critical condition from pneumonia and was sent to the City and County Hospftal in the ambulance yesterday afternoon. Detective Bailey will make inquiry among the neighbors to ascertain the treatment accorded Mrs. Kierns by her sons, who deny that they ever struck?her.

Larger and improved barracks for the enlisted men and commodious quarters for the of- ficers will be constructed. The commis- sary, quartermaster, post commander and staff officers will be given more adequate facilitles for carrying on thelr respective departments also. A new hospital has already been built. It was constructed on plans furnished by the surgeon general of the army, It has every comfort and convenience. It is fur- nished with every necessary convenience and apparatus. Especial attention has been pald to the subject ‘of ventilation. On the first floor there are six rooms, including a dispensary and a ward sup- plied with accommodations for twelve sick men. The second floor contains an officers’ ward and an operating-room. The attic is given over to apartments for the nurses and bathrooms, of which there are a few on the first floor. The furnaces and storerooms are in the basement. On the rew military hospital brick has heen used exclusively in exterior con- struction, instead of wood, as was former-. 1{ tthe universal custom. The reof is of slate. * Around one side of the hospital is a ca- pacious veranda, which looks quite pict- uresque and inviting but with which some of the army surgeons are finding fault, because it will keep the sunlight from the sick wards. It is suggested that the au- thorities had not been informed of the fact that the breezes which continually prevail in the vieinity of Fort Mason make a cool locality.

These gentlemen did | swap buffaloes and with full reports of all | damage at hand it appears that the man | of the plains hasn't a the best of the man whose only experience with buf-| faloes has been gained at the paddock in Golden Gate Park.

COLONEL CODY ACCEFTS. | EXIT J. FARNHAM FROM FAIR CAGE Heirs Compromise With Administrator for Big Sum. Judge Cook Appoints Neal, Oelrichs and Harvey to Settle Estates. Letters of administration on the estates ot the late Charles L. and Caroline Fair were issued yesterday by Superior Judge Cook to Hermann Oelrichs, Charles S. Neal and Joseph Harvey. When the mat- ter came up in court yesterday morning Public Administrator John Farnham filed a written consent to the appointment of the administrators ramed by the court. This action on the part of the Public Ad- ministrator was not surprising, as it was known that a compromise that would hasten the final distribution of the estate had been already effected and that Farn- ham would withdraw his petition for let- ters of administration over the estates of Mr. and Mrs. Fair. The compromise was effected a few days ago in the office of Reuben H. Lloyd, representing the Falr heirs. Farnham received the sum of $12,500 to withdraw claims he made to be given spe- cial letters of administration. The terms of the compromise were quite satisfactory to all parties concerned. | | | | | | | But “Buffalo Bill's Wild West” show | came to town and as luck would have it | Park Commissioner Lloyd, dressed in his best suit of broadcloth, atiended the mat- | inee on Admission day. Lawyers' braius | are never inactive, and Mr. Lioyd's were | working overtime on this occasion. When | the herd of buffalo rushed into the in-| | closure he picked out one that particu- | larly struck his fancy. He wanted that | | one and he figured as to how the city could get it. | The propogition to exchange bulls was | made to Colonel Cody, the plea being | | made that the future weifare of the herds | demanded such an exchange. Now as a matter of fact Colonel Cody has been looking for somebody to unload | his bull buffalo on. The brute terrorized the whole herd. It would not go in and out of the cars and generally made a | nuisance of itself. The deal was made and each party thought that it was hand- ing a gold brick to the other. | LLOYD’S BUFFALO PERFORMS. Twenty cowboys hauled the Wild West buffalo to Golden Gate Park and, rein- forced by the mounted police, were able | to take the other one back to the show. | As soon as the buffalo from the park | was landed in the corral of the Wild West | | he jumped a fence six feet high and.| knocking down two_tents, took to the timbers above the Affillated Colleges. He was dragged back and Sunday night fifty cowboys, ten Mexicans and twenty sol- diers got the animal in the car for Sa- linas. Last night at Salinas the brute | gave a big exnibition when he was re- leased from the car. He killed two horses and made such a run that he terrorized the whole town. | Buffalo Bili's former pet that is now at the park is having a hot time. Yes- terday afternoon he alternated his amuse- | ments by playing center rush with the wire entrance gate to the paddock and chasing the other buffaloes up the trees. The_question is, “Who landed the gold brick? The lawyer or the man that owns | the Wild West show?"” | AUTUMN CLEVERLY PICTURED AT HALE BROTHERS' STORE One Tepartment Is of Dainty Lattice Architecture and Pretty Tinted Foliage. | Hale Brothers’ establishment is drawing | a good deal of attention from the general | public on account of the unique and in- tensely artistic method of their autumn decorations and the American design and make of their millinery. The .department which is devoted to millinery is artistically screened from the’ rest of the floor by a rich lattice of red | silk. Around and through the lattice | beautiful autumn leaves of the rarest tints stand out, while dainty small palms are the relief and give to the whole a | semi-tropical aspect. ‘Within the lattice chamber are many tables invitingly set off with a great va- | riety of exquisite ideas in hats—hats for walking, hats for dress occasions, hats for theater and outing, hats verging on the much favored Gainsborough, the | Gainsborough Americanized, the English toque, the Spanish sombrero modifled and French mode$ actuaily improved by deft American hands from American ideas. Colors are plentifuliy used, but with del- icate treatment. There will be found the Lurnt orange and tne pastel red felt in the dress hats; also in the same descrip- tion of dainty headgear will be seen the pastel red felt studded with jet nail heads and a bird of paradise gracefully posed on the crown, a combination wonderful to behold and yet no menace to the purse of the thril!f’ breadwinner. There is ailready a disposition this sea- son for the beaver, and in order to re- spond fo what is expected to be a big de- mand Hale Brothers have on exhibition a varied supply in beaver shapes that look most tempting. One green hat with a Chinese pheasant perched on the center of the crown will be certain to draw par- ticular attention. The trend of fashion this autumn also goes to mohair. ‘There is a plaid combination in the form of a hat. It is of white felt with a band of mink, the plaid being formed above | and below the fur. One hat in the remarkable collection will be sure to draw longing eyes. It is a dressy affair and is composed of thres tones of tucked chiifon, shading from paic yellow to very deep burnt orange. Some hats are adorned with white doves, which seem to be a popular trim- ming. The street or tailored hats are many and of stylish design, some of them being relieved and made to look chic with the simple ald of a broad quill or wing, There is also a green and white toned window display which cannet fall to be | wmll;ed. " b A autumn show of scores of differen varieties of hats, together with the bea.us tifully designed department in which they :re on exhibition, will be the talk of the own.

Be: nn on @ charge of felony embezzlement. Berg- mann was a collector for Knapp, who accuses him of embezzling $58 75 w?llch he nad collected and failed to account for, Attorneys Knight and Heggefly present. ed a written order from Mrs. Hermann Qelrichs asking that her husband, Her- mann Oelrichs, be appointed administra- tor of the estate of Charles L. Fair for her and her sister, Mrs. bilt of New York. Judge Cook ly appointed Oeirichs, and at the same time he made an order restraining Fim from removing from the safe deposit vaults the personal property of Mr. Falr hout an order from the court.. This order will hold good until the estate is finally distributed. Oelrichs was required to give bond ia the sum of $150,000. The appointment of Qelrichs gives him the right to simply handle the income of the estate. In the matter of the estate of Mrs. Fair, Charles S. Neal, manager of the Fair estate, and Joseph Harvey were appointed adminis- trators. There is only an income of $150 per year from Mrs. Fair's estate, as most ot it _consists of personal property. Neal and Harvey were required to give bonds in the sum of $5000 each. The same order in reference to the removal of property as was made in the estate of Mr. Fair was isswed by Judge Cook. Public Ad- ministrator Farnham sat in court during the proceedings and gave his consent to each move that was made. The disposi- tion of the Fair heirs to avoid further costly litigation was what brought about the compromise with the Public Adminis- | trator.
