How distressing to see a woman struggling with her daily round of household duties, when her back and head are aching, and every new movement brings out a new pain | One day the poor woman is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch ~_it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she “goes to pieces ” and is flat on her back.

A programme of great | diversity will be presented. There will be vaudeville turns, tragedy, comedy | and farce. All the theaters have sent their best talent to strengthen the per- formance. | The Orpheum will be represented by | the three Zolars, European grotesque \a«"roba(s: Warren and Blanchard, the comedian and the singer; the Brittons, colored singers and dancers, and the “Village Choir” quartet. Warren is one of the best singers in vaudeville. His rich, mellow voice has been heard to advantage at the Orpheum this week. The “Village Choir” quartet has been singing itself into public favor and is well worth hearing. | All those who have seen “Ben Hur” |at the Grand Opera-house and have gazed upon the graceful form of Wil- liam Kelly and heard him rendering the lines from General Lew Wallace's famous book will be delighted to hear him render a description of the chariot race. All those who heard Miss Har- riette Keyes sing the solo in the second | scene of the fourth act of “Ben Hur"” | will be pleased to ‘hear her render “Since First I Met Thee,” by Ruben- stein. Miss Keyes has a well-trained voice and has a big Eastern reputation as a vocalist. “A Queen's Messenger,” a drama in one act, by J. Hartley Manners, will be the offering of the Columbia Thea- ter. Virginia Harned and William Courtney compose the cast. This was originally produced at the Haymarket Theater, London, and will be presented for the first time in America at the Co- lumbia this afternoon. It is a gem in its way and will be heartily appre- ciated by theatergoers. The sextet from “Lucia di Lammer- moor” will be rendered by the best artists now singing at the Tivoli in grand opera. The Alcazar stock com- pany will present the third act from “Lady Bountiful,” from the pen of the great dramatist Arthur Wing Pinero. The play scored a big hit at the Alca- zar a month ago. An act from the stir- ring melodrama “At Valley Forge” will be given by the Central Theater Com- pany. Queen, Stowe and Felly will close the big show with their acrobatic whirl- wind, “The Josshouse Dodger.” The programme will be under the di- rection of Harry Orndorff. Professor Rosner and the Orpheum orchestra will render music during the performance, and Phillp Hastings will look after the performers. Even though the weather is inclem- ent, there will be a big attendance, as more than half the house has been sold. The benefit is a worthy one and a crowded house is expected. e ————— Death of Mrs. de Santa Marina. Mrs. B.

Sroufe Demands That J. M. Wilkins Pay His Notes. Sl 2k Two suits were brought yesterday against J. M. Wilkins, proprietor of the Cliff House, by John Sroufe to recover an amount approximating $35,000, al- leged to be due on two notes given to the plaintiff several years ago. A writ of attachment in the sum of $32,423 78 was served yesterday on Wil- kins, and keepers were sent cut to the Cliff House. Garnishments were placed on a deposit box in the Western Na- tional Bank belonging to Wilkins and also on funds in other banks and on the stock in the Cliff House. The commencement of the alleged in- debtedness dates back about seventeen years, when Wilkins first went to take charge of the famous hostelry. Sroufe advanced moneys and gold merchandise to Wilkins and the sum has gradually grown until it has reached the present proportions. Attorney Charles A. Shurtleff, who represents the plaintiff, states that they do not in any way wish to interfere with the business of the Cliff House and have no desire to injure Wilkins, but his client wants money. So far as they are concerned the business of the place will not be interfered with. The house is still open to the public, though the keepers are in charge. WILKINS IS CALM. Mr. Wilkins, in speaking of the mat- ter, stated: “The promissory notes which are the basis of this action are both personal debts of my own and are in no way connected with the in- terests of the J. M. Wilkins Company. This company was incorporated about two years ago and owns all the furni- ture and contents of the Cliff House, including barroom furniture and fix- tures, organ and stock of merchandise. There are 25,000 shares of stock in this concern, of which I hold 3000 shares, and 2500 shares of this I have placed up as a collateral, so in reality I own but 2500 shares. The balance of stock is practically all owned by B. Warner Rice, who is. vice president and treas- urer of the company. I am president and manager of the corporation, for Which services I receive a salary. Mrs. Wilkins owns five shares. The business of the house will be In no way inter, fered with.” B. Warner Rice, In speaking of the suit, said: “The J. M. Wilkins Com- pany, in which I hold the majority of stock, is In no way connected with this suit which has been brought against ‘Wilkins. The notes in question are his own personal obligations and the com- pany has nothing to do with them. The affairs of the concern are in a flourish- ing condition. We are making money, do not owe a dollar to any one and have a fine balance in the bank to our credit. I shall not let the business of the house be stopped and Wilkins will continue to manage the place so long as I control the stock.” LAWYER GIVES VIEWS. Judge S. E. Benson s acting for Wilkins. Last night notice was served on the Sheriff by the J. M. Wilkins Company advising him that he was wrong in permitting an attachment to be served on the property belonging to that company, as the personal affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins were in no way connected with the inccrporation. The Clift House property has had but three different proprietors. The orig- inal house was built in 1862 and opened by Captain J. E. Foster, who was its manager for twenty years. Then came Moss & Sheldon, who ran it for three Then came Wilkins, who has years. been inr charge for the last eighteen years. The original structure burned Christmas night, 1894, and Wilkins was a heavy loser at that time as he car- ried comparatively small insurance. The present structure was finished in October, 1895. It has never been closed. Al e o ) Records Big Mortgage. A mortgage was recorded yesterday covering the loan of $125,000 to the Wil- liam Ede Company by the Mutual Sav- ings Bank, the security given being the property on the southwest corner of El- 1is and Powell streets. URORS AGKED 05 70 AELIGION Second Trial of Case of Riordan vs. Sprague. After close questioning of the citizens called to serve on the jury panel of the United States Circuit Court yesterday forenoon a jury was selected to try the case of Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan against Belle Sprague to recover $21,000. The suit was brought to recover on a contract in an inheritance left by James Merwyn Donahue to certain Roman Catholic charities. The contract was signed by Ryland T. Wallace as attor- ney for his sister, Donahue's widow, now Mrs. Belle W. Sprague. She de- nies that she authorized Ryland to make the contract, and avers that at the time it was made he did not hold her power of attorney. The case was tried a few weeks ago and the jury disagreed. The jurors were questioned as to their religious affiliations, and only two or three of those examined admitted that they belonged to or attended any church. William J. Biggy, formerly a Police Commissioner, said he was a Roman Catholic and a regular attend- ant at church. D. V. Kelly said he was of the same faith, and that if Archbish- op Risrdan should testify to one state of facts and other witneses should tes- tify to the contrary he would believe the Archbishop as against the others. Biggy and Kelly were challenged per- emptorily. The following named were impaneled: George A. Smith, John G. Ils, John H. Tate, F. P. Skelly, E. W. Taggard, Henry Schussler, Alfred E. Pryor, S. P. Holden, George D. Clark, George A. Reynolds, H. E. Skin- ner and Chris E. Newman. The taking of testimony will be be- gun at 10 o’clock this morning. W. J. Biggy, Robert N. Carson and E. Skinner were fined the costs, §2 50 each, for having failed to respond last Monday when their names were called. —_——————— WILL GIVE CITY’S FOOR THANKSGIVING DINNER Ladies of Fruit and Flower Mission Ask Public for Contributions of Provisions.

Harry Kelly, a young man with an air of prosperity, was arrested yester- day afternoon after a lively chase by Patrolman Birdsall at Sutter and La- guna streets and locked up pending an investigation as to his operations and movements within the last few days. Kelly is accused of having passed oft numerous Confederate $20 bills on cor- ner grocery men and -secured good United States coin in exchange. Kelly numbers among his victims four grocers and the number is likely to be increased ere long, as the police think that they can trace many more crimes of a similar nature to the pre- possessing young man. Among his dupes are H. Heinrichsen, Webster and Sutter streets; C. H. Vensler, Hyde and Geary streets, and Henry Schlen, Hyde and Broadway. All these men were handed $20 Confederate bills in payment for merchandise and all gave good money in return. On last Thursday afternoon Kelly en- tered Vensler’s store and purchased | a bottle of whisky. In return he gave the bad $20 bill and was handed $19 in change. An hour later he appeared at Schlen’s place and went through the same performance. Nothing more was heard of Kelly till the following Wednesday afternoon, when he went into Heinrichsen's store and asked for two bottles of whisky. He requested that the liquor be sent to a near by ad- dress and when the clerk arrived with the articles Kelly was waiting for him on the doorstep. He gave a bad $20 bill in payment and received $18 in change. Kelly’'s downfall came yesterday afternoon when he walked into the grocery at Laguna and Sutter streets, kept by W. E. Goetz. He asked the clerk for a bottle of whisky, and the latter becoming suspicious, called in Patrolman Birdsall. As soon as Kelly saw the officer he started to run, but made the grievous mistake of t i UIRINE | | cion of the wedding. Mrs. MeGlynn into a near by blind alley, where he was captured. In his flight Kelly dropped several | becgus bills. When searched at the City Prison more than thirty of the bad pieces of paper were found on his per- gon. He made several other attempts yesterday afternoon to pass off the Confederate bills on other grocers and fruit dealers in the same neighborhood, but all these tradesmen were suspicious and would take no chances. —_————— Would Care for Dibbern E“f Public Administrator John ham yesterday filed a petition for letters of administration upon the estate of J. Henry Dibbern, thé merchant who died suddenly at the Palace Hotel Wednesday morning. The petition recites that the estate of the deceased is worth more than $10,000 and that the names and ad- dresses of his heirs, if he left any, are unknown to the petitioner. | after WIDOW AELYAN SEEKS DIMGES Says Patrick Manning Has Trifled With Her Affections. Louise Mary McGlynn, s comely widow, who clalms that she was jiited by Patrick Manning, a wealthy mining man, waunts $20,000 as balm for her wounded feelings. A suit for that amount for breach of promise was filed yesterday by Frank P. Haynes, Mrs. McGlynn's attorney. Mrs. McGlynn and Manning first met in November of last year. They be- came great friends and before a year had elapsed their friendship had rip- ened into love. It was in August of this year, alleges Mrs. McGlynn, that Manning first let her know that his regard for her was something warmer than mere friendship and asked her to become his wife. She says she ac- cepied him, told all her friends of her new found happiness, then made prep- arations for the wedding. The mar- riage was to have taken place in Napa, ten days after the announcement of the engagement. All the preparations were completed atd. according to the complaint, Mrs. MecGlynn, accompanied by a lady friend and Manning, on August 20 took a trip to the little bay town. Mrs. McGlynn confldently expected that she would ~e- turn Mrs. Manning, and her belief she says was strengthened when Manning, leaving the train, took her di- rectly to the house of a clergyman. But the wedding never came off, for, alleges Mys. McGlynn, Manning was takea sick at the home of the minister and all three were compelled to return to San Francisco. Ten days later, says the plaintife, Manning called upon her and in the preserce of numerous persons asked ker mother, a Mrs. Glaser of Mendo- c¢ino County, if she had any objection to bim as a son-in-law. Mrs. Glaser, it is alleged, told him she had nonme. and thereupon Manning shook hands with everybody, kissed his prospective hride, aud then joined in a general dis- ays she even introduced him to ths ladies she had selected to act as her bridesmaids. Now comes the harrowing part of the tale. The widow says that since that day she has not seen Manning, but she gays she has heard about him, and what she has heard has caused her the keenest mental anguish. She says tLat she has learned that the reason for the last month and a half her recre- ant lcver has not been near her is that h> has put in his time running about with other women, married and unmar- ried, and of good reputation and other- wise, and has lavished his affections upen them, greatly to her humiltation ard pain. —— LONDON, Nov. 19.—Henry Seton Merriman (Hugh Stowell Scott), the novelist, is dead.
