Craig says that Dowie came to this ' eity from Australia during 1888. He a letter of introduction from Craig’s fatker, and immediately friend- ship was established. Dowie was poor and humble at the time and had not the necessary wherewith to even settle with his landlord. The man of com- [ merce says he extended the hospitality his home to him, and at the time for the East was! with another friend, his hotel bills. There was also coin which Craig savs he paid out for other | ! bills, but which he says he will not | attempt to collect. 1 The debt in dispute is said to have| been incurred in this city between Octo- | ber 9 and December 11, 1888, when | | Craig. at the request of Dowie, laid out and expended for the reformer the sum of § 36, of which but $962 46 has been paid. It appears that Dowie de-| sired to rent an auditofium for the| | purpose of holding religious meetings. | He secured the Grand Opera-house for | a week, but the gate receipts were not up to expectations and Craig had.ta| make good the deficiency. Dowie, be- | ing poor, was not dunned for the| money, but when he established his cify | in Ilincis and made his fortune Craig | thought it no more than proper that a | of of his departure obliged to settle, request for a settiement be made. When | Crig met the reformer soon’ after his| arrival in the city he reminded him | that there was a balance due. Dowie admitted that such was the case and that Craig had expended the cash, but said he paid it out in the spirit of friendship and that it was not neces- sary for the money to be refunded to the donor. “Elijah” has evidently made some converts in this city, as he announces a baptism will take place at the Lur- line baths at 5:30 o'clock this after- noon. Lt S S Christian Science. The following communication was received yesterday by The Call: SAN'FRANCISCO, Jan. 20, 1904. Editor Call: The statement Dr. Dowie's secretary published in The Call to-day that the difference between the teachings of Dr. Dowie and those of Mrs. Eddy, of the Christfan ence church, is that Mrs. Eddy ‘‘claims that there is no such thing as sin, while Dr. Dowie says sin exists on this earth and that it can only be Wiped out’by faith,” is mislead- ng. Mrs. Eddy recognizes and teaches that all thoughts and actions that are contrary to the iaw of God are sinful, and must result in suf- fering until they are overcome through the power of Christ. She does not ignore sin, nor deny that it exists on the mortal plane as an evil belief, but claims that it does mot orig- inete in God and has no existence in the realm of spirit. The teaching of Christian Secience econcern- ing sin has greatly misunderstood and misrepresented by its critics, but a right un- derstanding of this science results in the de- struction of ein and the healing of the sic in accordance with our Master's promise, ' SAN JOSE.

CIBSON WORKS ON NEW CLEW Receives Missive From a Man Who Says That Soeder Had Poison in - His Possession ——- KEEPS HIS NAME SECRET Accusefi Man Is Handed Two; Letters From Germany and Refuses to Open One of Them [ R Detective Thomas Gibson has a man | who was with Soeder the day before | the murder of Blaise, who says that Sveder was “loaded down” with poison. The person who makes this statement | has been hanging around police head- | ng to give his testimony. 52 Detective Gibson said last night that he would hear the man’s story to-day. “I have received several letters and notes from this man,” Gibson said, “but | I cannot give out his name yet. He says that Leon Soeder was with him the day before the murder and that he | had his pockets full of poison. What the poison was I will not say uatil I take his statement.” This new piece of evidence is con- in view-of the fact that Soeder was known to have had hydrocyanic acid, chloroform and carhbolic acid in his| possession prior to the commission of | the murder. It merely further corrobo- t rates the poison story as aiready pub- poison and afterward abandoned that plan. Hydrocyanic acid was found in the trunk of Sgeder and he had car- bolic acid and chloroform in his room on Jackson street. SOEDER GIVEN LETTERS. The two letters addressed to Soeder and received Tuesday by Moritz Mefen- berg of 4800 Mission street were given to Soeder to-read at the City Prison | writing and was mailed from Drags- burg, Germany, and the other was writ- ten in a woman’s hand and mailed from Hub, Germany. ‘When the prison guard gave the let- ters to Soeder the prisoner opened the it through. The other he refused to open and handed it back to the prison- keeper without having broken the seal. Little significance is placed in the contents of the woman's letter, as it is supposed to have been written by Blaise’s wife, who had no inkling of her husband’s death. Detective Gib- son will have the other translated some time to-day. Gibson said yesterday that he was not investigating the statements of carhouse . men, who said they thought they saw a man resembling Blaise on the night of | Neither of them is cer- statement that he appeared to be drugged is considered evidence that the one they saw was not Blaise. BLAISE NOT DRUGGED. It is known positively by medical testimony that Blaise was not drug- ged prior to his murder. There was no sign of the dead man having had a death struggle with his slayer. The police are of the opinion that Boland and Collins saw some one else and consider the occurrence merely a coincidence. The main reliance that | the police are placing in the seeuring | of enough evidence to convict Soeder of the murder is in the characters along Barbary Coast. Soeder was a habitue of the low dance halls and sa- city. The police now have, in addition to Cannon and the King woman, two other women, Maggie Bennett and Rosie Kirk, from the O K dance hall, who claim to have seen Soeder short- ly after the murder was committed. They also have other witnesses, but refuse to divulge their names, fearing to give the attorneys for Soeder a chance to prepare their defense and repudiate any evidence so far col- lected.

Yesterday was distinctly a day of feasting—luncheons, luncheons every- Wwhere. Quite the most elaborate were | those of Mrs. Ritchie Livingston Dunn and of Mrs. M. Kirkpatrick. L Mrs. Dunn entertained thirty-five | DROPS emartly gowned women at the Uni- versity Club in honor of her well be- loved sister-in-law, Mrs. Harry Mac- farlane of Honolulu. The tables were arranged in dumb- bell fashion—a style much affected now | at smart functions—and were graced with bowls of lovely roses and leis of violets. Softly the music from the isle of palms floated through the air, now gay, now plaintive, but so soft and sweet as never to interrupt the merry round of jest and repartee. The following were guests at the de- lightful luncheon: farlane, Mrs. Henry Foster Dutton, Mrs. William J. Dutton, Mrs. William Thomas, Mrs. James Costigan, Mrs. Augustus B. Costigan, Mrs. Charles Krauthoff, Mrs. John Robinson, Mrs. William Morrow, Mrs. Grayson Dutton, Mrs. Frank Deering, Mrs. Frank Bates, Mrs. Hilda Baxter, Mrs. Burns Mac- donald.

Adams, Mrs. Victor Lewis, Miss Jennie Blair, Miss Gertrude Dutton, Mrs. Maye Colburn, Miss Edith Cutter, Miss Amy Porter, Miss Eleanor Warner, Miss Ethel Coop- er, Miss Dajsy Burns, Miss Frances Harris, Miss Jessie Filmore and Miss Grace Holt. Mrs. Kirkpatrick’s luncheon was a large and elaborate function, twenty guests gathering in the conservatory around a table rarely beautiful with acacia and daffodils rising from vases of burnished brass. The name cards bore these lovely tokens of spring, while about the conservatory hung innumer- able baskets of graceful vines and stur- dier greenery. - ' The following ladies- were present: Mrs. M. Kirkpatrick, the Misses Con- stance and Ruth Kirkpatrick, Miss Jas- mine Young, Miss Elizabeth Bember, Mrs. Dougherty, Mrs. Franklin Cane, | Mrs. L.

The following guests were present: Miss Margaret Newhall, Miss Gertrude Young, Miss Alice Sullivan, Miss Newell Drown, Miss Emily Wilson, Miss Gene- vieve King, Miss Herrick, Miss Ethel Dean, Miss Florence Cole and Miss Vir- ginia Jolliffe. The marriage of Miss Rose Adler and | Armand Cailleau in London -was really | not so great a shock to some San Fran- ciscans as would seem. Mr. Cailleau’s admiration for the charming singer was known to all his intimates, he taking no especial pains to conceal the fact. B That their honeymoon will be filled | with music no one who knows them | both will doubt, for both are devout | votaries of the sweet allurcaents of | song. A pleasant reception surely awaits them when they turn their steps west- ward. . Mrs. Andrew Welch, the statuesque bride of a few months, held a large re- ception yesterday at the Welch resi- dence on Eddy street. Several hun- dred friends called during the fashion- able hours, who were received by the hostess in her exquisite wedding gown of white paon velvet and lace.
