Yesterday was a busy one for Fred G. Abbott, the gay young English promoter, whose promiscuous circulation of worth- | less checks threatened to land him in trouble of a serious character. Suddenly | realizing ly yesterday that it was| about time that he should slacken his wild pace, Abbott called into service a who had accompanied him over- land from the East, and the pair set about straightening out the financial en- | tanglements into which the first named had got himself during the last three | weeks, “Abbott has been in a delightful trance ever since he arrived in San Francisco,” ined his friend at the Palace Hotel afternoon after he had handed wver to the cashier a bundle of bills in ayment of the Englishman’s overdue ac- count and for the redemption of the checks the latter had drawn upon the Ori- ental Bank of New York, which had re- ned them dishonored. “A night or so after he arrived here Ab- bott visited an uptown resort and partook freely of wine. Since then he has been g the route at a maddening pace. Ap- ly he became impressed with the a that he had money encugh to choke up a smelter and proceeded to spend it like 2 crazy king. This morning when he awoke and wes nanded a paper containing the details of his misdoings he concluded that he had had enough notoriety, for at least a time, and promptly sent for me. Since noon we have becn around making good the indebtecness Abbott had. in- curred and he is new | -etty well straight- | ened out.” It was learned from another source that Abbott cabled to England for money yes- terday afternoon, but whe:» he raised the necessary funds with which to meet his irregularly incurred debts no one but his friend seemed able to explain and the latter wouldn’'t. In the afternoon the apartments at the Palace which had been closed against him on the previous day NBBOTT THKES | ARMY OFFICER AND YOU: | WOMAN HE CRUELLY CEIVED. | %+ e 3 brance of the campaign of Samar, 1901 and 1 and Mrs. Simon are deeply grieved over the occurrences, and only offer as a olution to the mystery of the marriage that McCue ha been demented or that his life prior to his v in the Phil- m of 800 words [ PPINES has for some unknown reason be- | come a blank. were reopened and the young promoter hurried!; disappeared behind their doors to seek a much-needed r . tw snm--l by his friends that he has plenty king in the East and that he hplnng'\ (U good family in Birmingham, to the worthless checks, it t he passed them when his mind was befuddled with wine, for which it is said he has a remarkable capacity.

Lawless Use of Revolvers Is Dangerously on the Increase. 1 —atan | The numerous sufferers from injuries sustained through fireworks and the reck- less use of firearms on July 4 were in most instances progressing favorably yes- terday. The Injuries in each case were painful, however, and in some instances | it wiil be many days before the wounded are convalescent. Gustave Kuhne, who was seriously in- | jured while trying to load his revolver | at his residence, 145 Natoma street, is stlil | lying at the German Hospital in a serious | condition. The surgeons have trled to | find the bullet, which entered his abdo- men, but without avail. The dangerous use of revolvers on the | public streets on the Fourth was more in practice than on any former occasion, and | while & number of the lawbreakers were arrested there were many more who dis- charged firearms without molestation. In one instance two bullets were fired through the plate glass door of Bullivan’s | shoe store, in the Pioneer bullding. An ugly looking spent bullet was picked up vesterday morning on O'Farrell street, near Franklin, in which vicinity a good deal of the pistol firing was indulged in. LAWBREAKERS ARRESTED. There were fifteen arrests for discharg- ing firearms within the city limits, seven | for malictous mischief, six for disturbing the peace, two for building bonfires with- out a permit and one for carrying a con- cealed weapon. Besides the victims of fireworks and | pistol accidents treated on Saturday, the Emergency Hospital and the City and County Hospital surgeons had a few cases to attend to yesterday, the sufferers | being boys who had been anxious to con- | tinue the celebration one more day. | Frank Meehan, aged 11 years, residing | at 10" Vicksburg street, was badly burned about the hands and face In trying to send a roman candle skyward. He was treated by Dr. McElroy at the City and County Hospital. B | William Haack, aged 9 years, got his | left hand burned by the discharge of a toy pistol, the wad of which lodged in the palm. He pald no attention to the wound until yesterday, when it com- menced to give him trouble. An examina. tion of the wound convinced Dr. McElroy that blood polsoning might set in, and possibly lockjaw, consequently William was placed in a ward in the City and County Hospital for observation and treatment. s MAY LOSE HIS SIGHT. Oscar Herbst, aged 9 years, was treated at the same hospital for serious burns on the face and hands, both his eyes be- | ing injured. The unfortunate boy is In ger of losing his sight. ! Harry Rice had some burned powder re- moved from his left hand at the Park | Emergency Hospital by Dr. Armisted. Rice is a visitor from Sacramento, and | while experimenting at the corner of | Buchanan and Fell streets he sent the | | contents of a bulletless cartridge through | the palm of his left hand. Charles Nelson received treatment at | the same hospital for a slight burn on the left hand produced by the discharge of a toy pistol. Anticipating from past experience a full crop of accidents on the Fourth, Chief Surgeon Edwin Bunnell of the Central Emergency Hospital pressed an extra | ambulance into service, together with two extra surgeons and two extra hospital stewards. Though the number of injured { did not quite equal those of last year, nevertheless Dr. Bunnell found his aug- mented surgical staff just able, with the regular medical attendants, to treat all the cases brought to the hospital. —————— WEARY OF WEARING GOOD CLOTHES | ‘When Dr. . J. Dawnpnrt professor of political economy in the University of Chicago, makes the statement that people | do not wear beautiful clothes because they are beautiful or artistic, but simply for the sake of making ostentatious dis- play, he is, of course, talking nonsense. The professor did not stop at condemna- tion of the people who wear beautiful clothes, but went on to denounce those who ride in highly colored automobiles, the Salvation Army on account of its uniform and everything in the nature of what he calls display. The average citizen knows enough to | discriminate between those who seek dis- play for the sake of display and those who have a real liking or love for every- thing that is graceful, tasteful and artis- tic. The average citizen knows well how to differentiate between the gentleman and the dandy, the lady and the snob, the refined and the vulgar. And the average citizen Is not at a loss to distingulsh at a glance the college professor who talks for the sake of calling attention to him- self from the college professor who talks | because he has something to say. A love for the beautiful is inherent in mankind and womankind. The vast ma- jority of people are fond of beautiful things and like to be surrounded with beautiful things, whether they number beautiful things among their possessions or not. It would be as reasonable to say that people keep themselves clear and neat for the sake of making ostentatious display as to say that they dress in the best they can command for that reason. That there is, always has been and al- ways will be vanity in this world nobody will deny, but it is far from being the truth that people In general wear nice clothes, byy handsome furniture or sur- round therhselves with beautiful and ar- tistic things from sheer vanity. Professor Davenport forgets that there is such a thing as the esthetic sense and that in proportion as it is developed in men and women do we find them to be advanced in all the {deals that make for the highest intelligence and culture.
