Mrs. Stella Applegate, a widow re- siding at 1021 Howard street, drank the contents of a four-ounce bottle of carbolic acid yesterday afternoon in her room and died shortly after being | taken to the Bmergency Hospital. The woman had been married to a soldier who served in the Philippine Islands. He returned from the islands to this | city and committed suicide in the same house where she ended her life. After his death Mre. Applegate remained in consolable, frettiug over her loss. | Yesterday, after she drank the acid, informed Mrs. Willlam Duff, an | acquaintance, that she wished to die &nd that she had taken the poison with she that intentfon. An Unsuspected Cause. Ie curious how many diseases come a2 disordered nervous system \-h-rh locates disease in some part of the body and the primary cause can often be traced to coffee, which first It breaks down the nervous system.

The rest of my family took up the new drink and Postum relieved my wife and little boy of frequent bheadaches, and whit is called ‘coffee headache’ is not known in our family any more.

Cook of This City Is Arrested in Los Angeles for Attempt to Defraud. W. 8. Cook of this city was arrested on the train in Los Angeles yesterday morning at the request of Chief of Po- lice Wittman. With him were Roy Thatcher and Bud Allen, who were first held and subsequently released. In charge of an officer, Cook is on his way i to San Francisco. He is charged by H. F. Eichenberger with defrauding a livery stable and a warrant was- issued by Judge Mogan last Saturday for his arrest. He evi- dently succeeded in riding well into the liveryman's credit, as he is ch-rged with hiring an automobile from th ' complaining witness until his bill ag- gregated $500. Then he disappeared to- ward Los Angeles. A dispatch from that city last night stated that he had plenty of money and succeeded in get- ting $500 more from a merchant then just before he was arrested. | andrina, third-class sheathed — % OLDEST SHIP IN OUR NAVY TO BE PRESERVED The frigate Constellation has been towed from Norfolk-to the New York navy yard to be thoroughly " repaired. She is the oldest ship in the United States navy and was launched Sep- tember 7, 1797, being the second of six frigates authorized by Congress March 27, 1794. The others were the United States, launched July 10, 1797; the Con- stitution, October 21, 1797; the Chesa- peake, President and Congress, launched at later dates. The Constel- lation and Constitutton are the only ones left, the others having been either captured or destroyed, and the two frigates should be preserved as me- mentos of the early victories of the navy. One hundred years ago these two frigates were in the Mediterranean, and succeeded with other ships in breaking up the piratical depredations of the African corsairs. While the Con- stellation is the oldest ship in the navy, the Constitution is known throughout the naval world for its famous fights and interesting exploits. The Constel- lation’s war record is limited to the capture of the French frigate L’'Insur- gente and engagement with two other French ships. She was built at Bal- timore at a cost of $314,212, and after a commission of five years, from 1800 to 1805, was laid up for five years, then rebuilt, commissioned in 1815, and on intermittent cruising service until 1844. Then the old craft had a rest of ten years. In 1854 she was again rebuilt at'a cost of $277,106, and after ten years’ actlve service became a receiving ship at Norfolk, whence she was transferred to the Naval Academy and served as practice ship until 1889. In that year the Constellation met with its first se- rious accident, by running aground and narrowly escaping total loss. For this accident her commanding officer was suspended for one year. Later the ves- sel served as a stationary training ship at Newport, and is now to be repaired, while money has been refused for the thorough repair of the glorious old Constitution, now rotting at her birth place at Boston. VICTORY THE OLDEST SHIP. The Constellation is erroneously sup- posed to be the -ldest ship afloat in any navy, but the Victory, Nelson's flag- ship, antedated the American ship by thirty-two years, as she was launched May 7, 1766. Eleven ships in the Brit- ish navy have borne the name Victory, the first one having been bullt in 1560. The ship preceding the present Victory ‘was never heard of after a storm in the channel October 4, 1744, and the vessel and complement of 1100 men, including Ad- miral Sir J. Balchen, 75 years of age, found a watery grave. The present Victory lay at her moorings for thir- teen years after being launched, but from 1778 up to 1812 she made up for lost time. The termination of her active service was coincident with the battle of Waterioo and since 1825 she has remained in Ports- mouth harbor flying the admiral’'s flag. A sham fight came off recently in the Mediteranean between two fleets of British ships, one, under command of Admiral Domville and the other under Lord Charles Beresford.- The latter was defeated, owing to the superior speed of his opponent’s fleet. The dig- tance adopted by the two admirals for closing was 2500 yards, which is just out of torpedo range. In order to in- sure more rapid firing of battery guns in this intervening distance important changes are contemplated in the ships under construction. Supplementary magazines and shell rooms are to be placed as half-way houses from the ship's magazines, immediately below the guns’ positions. The" danger of keeping a supply of live shells and cartridges in the casemates and ar- mored compartments will thus be avoided, while provision will also be made for the most rapid shell fire. By Captain Scott's “loader” a rapidity of twenty-two shots in two minutes has been attained In a 6-inch gun, equal to the delivery of 1100 pounds of metal from one gun in one minute. SUBMARINE TRIALS. The submarine boat trials are still in progress at Portsmouth. It was found that the boats could be captured, or, at least, made harmless by means of strong steel nets suspended in the water from booms attached to speedy vessels, and the submarine advocates are devising means to overcome this defense. At the next trial the torpedo fired from the boat will be fitted at its point with a scissor contrivance, and it is believed that the rent made will so weaken the net that it will be unable to withstand the tearing strain of the submarine following be- hind. The British Admiralty has adopted a plan for a plentiful supply of naval engineers which promises good resuits. A limited number of supplementary cadets will be admitted to the Royal Naval Engineering College and given an exceptional opportunity for train- ing in marine engineering and naval architecture. These students are of- fered the same advantages as the en- gineer and constructor cadets in re- spect both of the college residence and training and of practical work in the dockyard, without being under any ob- ligation to eénter the Government serv- jce. No employment is guaranteed on the completion of the training, but in the event of vacancies occurring among the engineer cadets an opportunity will be given to the private students to compete, and, if selected, they will be eligible for commissions in the navy under the same conditions as the en- gineer cadets. They will also be per- mitted to admission at the end of the course to the Royal Naval . College, Greenwich. NEW GERMAN TORPEDO-BOATS. In the German navy six torpedo- boats, S 120 to 125, are nearly completed, and arrangements are being made for building a further series of S 126 to 130. During the present year the German torpedo-boat fleet will number thirty- six modern first-class boats of 350 tons and 27.5 to 29 knots speed, and also eighty second-class boats of 20 to 26 knots, Seven obsolete vessels have been struck off the effective list of the Ger- mnn navy. The number includes the ! following three ironclads: Koenig Wil- helm, 9757 tons, built in 1868; Deutsch- land, 7676 tons, bullt in 1874 and the Kaiser, of 7676 tons, launched in 1875. The discarded unarmored vessels are the Zietan, a dispatch vessel of 975 tons, built in 1876; Mercur and Alex- of 2373 tons, launched in 1885, and the Meteor, a dispatch vessel of 946 tons and trial speed of 21 knots, built in 1890, ‘The peed mean speed of 22.25 knots was obhl.ned the measured mile, rs’ natural in six runs ove and on a six hi crufsers | Work, on the San Antonio Mission to Be' Shown by Lantern Views. BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. The annual pilgrimage of Landmarks League members to the Mission San Antonio de Padua, Monterey County, where work of restoration is in pro- 8ress on the ancient sanctuary, was this year a joy! And the distinction between /this year and last was that last year the league made promises— this year the promises are being made good. And therefore was there joy in the hearts of the simple folk for whom the mission was reared a century since, and a correlative joy in the hearts of the Landmarks people that their uphill efforts were bearing fruit. The league was organized in May, 1902, representativés from the Native Sons, Native Daughters, Daughters of the California Pioneers, the California Club, the Association of Ploneer Wo- | men, the Women's Press Association, ‘the Society of California Ploneers, the { Young Men's Institute, the Sons of Veteran Firemen and the Teachers’ Club responding to the invitation to send representatives to the first meet- ing. Now, that first meeting will live long in the memories of the moving spirits of that night—there were patri- otic speeches from noted men and wo- men, reproaches for the apathy of our forebears in their neglect of the most precious historic heirlooms of America and impassioned promises of unfalter- ing devotion to the cause until Califor- nia should no longer be reproached for her passive crime. But, alas! impas- sioned words of their own fire are oftimes consumed! That must be what happened, because the seats of the| loudest orators, knew them no more. But there were others—others who qui- etly walked up, signed the rolls, paid their dollar for the year's dues (which little formality, by the way, was quite overlooked by the orotund orators) and who have attended meetings, commit- tee or general, full of enthusiasm and helpfulness without default. It is due to them, the earnest workers, that the objects of the league are in a fair way to be realized. On Wednesday night the league will celebrate its second birthday as an in- corporation, on which occasion the an- nual election will take place. The meet- ing will be held at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, to which friends of the cause are welcome. President Knowland will present slides illustrat- ing the work already accomplished at the mission, and if time permits slides of the interesting types of people who gather yearly in the ruined chapel to assist in the annual service in honor of San Antonfo. Earnest, honest, sim- ple, trusting and faithful—loving God £ 5 5 |OFFENSIVE GUEST IS SHOT BY HIS HOST Santa Rosa Man Uses Shotgun to Avenge Insult Made by New Acquaintance. SANTA ROSA, June 26.—Ags a re- sult of an encounter with an irate hus- band, Willlam Peatross lies sorely wounded in the County Hospital, suf- fering from gunshot wounds that may be fatal. S. Sims, who' inflicted the injuries, has been arrested and his preliminary examination will be held on July 5. The shooting is said to have been caused by Peatross’ attempt to become unduly friendly with Mrs. Sims on Saturday night, when he was a guest of her husband. It is said that Sims and his wife met Peatross by chance, and thate the latter, representing that he was a brother of William Dixon, an old friend of the family, was readily invited to the house. During the even- ing, it is alleged by Sims, Peatross’ conduct was so objectionable that he was ejected bodily from the place. Sims declares that his guest attempted to draw a weapon, and it was when he feared that he would be shot that he fired. Peatross is wounded in the right shoulder and his lower jaw is torn away by buckshot. ———— DROWNS IN PRESENCE OF MANY SPECTATORS Young Man While Swimming Sinks to Death While Assistance Is Near. SONOMA, June 26.—Edward John O’Neill of Napa, while swimming in Sonoma Crek this morning near the Jones ranch, was seized with cramps and drowned in the presence of six or eight persons who were fishing on the banks of the stream. The spectators did not realize O'Neil's perilous posi- tion, else he might have been saved. . B Brings Suit to Set Aside a Deed. FRESNO, June 26.—Mrs. Augusta Church, wife of Firmin Church, for- mer District Attorney of Fresno Coun- ty, has brought suit in the Superior Court to have a certain deed declared null and void. The deed in question conveys all her property to the wife of her son, Jesse F. Church, but which she says was fraudulently executed, as she claims that when she signed it her son represented to her that she avas merely signing a power of attor- ney to authorize him to transact her business. —_——— ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY WILL VISIT PACIFIC COAST Itinerary of English Ecclesiastic In- cludes Stay of Several Days in San Francisco.

Her four stalwart sons, Pedro, Tito, Felips and Miguel, and their wives and blinking babies came with Dona Per- fecta, all gayly clad in festival garb, heavy laden with flowers from their mountain home. A crown of moun- tain daisies wrought wit} infinite care was borne in the wrinkled fingers of the old Indian woman for the brow of “‘San Antone,” and the wreath sparkled with morning dew. Our party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. ‘Will D.

Behind it stretched an immaculate expanse of white cloth festooned with lace, that a shrine be made for the statue of St. Anthony, brought from Mexico over a century ago. While minus a few fln- gers and a toe or two—amputated, no doubt, by relic hunters—the statue is in excellent condition, and is a beauti- ful specimen of wood carving of the eighteenth century, or perhaps of an earlier period. It is exquisitely colored and is draped in a tinsel stuff with | which time has dealt gently. This old statue, old- as we Americans reckon age, Is cared for from feast day to feast day by Bob Diaz of the Macon- dray rancho, who bears it tenderly on the great festival day from its resting place to the shrine prepared for it. Ah! The flowers! The scarlet pomegranate, blooming 300 summers in the ruined patio, graced the background, sweet-breathed roses of Castile smiled from the crude altar, geraniums flashed their flame as if challenging the promegranate—a riot of color, a discord, perhaps, but the scheme was born of love. And if any power on earth can disarm criticism, that power is sentiment. There was no criticism in our hearts. Only won- der at the fervor. As the service was about to be sald the Rev. Father Zephryin Englehardt donned the brown robes of the Fran- ciscan order, of which he is a mem- ber, and the yesteryear was linked with to-day in thre presence ‘of the cowl and gown. For the first time since his boyhood, | handsome, old Antonio Gomez had not the honor of serving as acolyte, the Rev. Father Farriga making the re- sponses to his guest, the Franciscan. The service over, the graves of the founders of the mission were definitely located by means of records and tes- timony, with the following result: Be- ginning at the east wall lies Fray Juan Bautista Sancho, died 1830; next to him the Rev. Dorote Ambris (the last custodian of the mission), died 1880; next to the west wall are the graves | of Fray Francisco Pujot y Pujot (died in 1801) and Fray Buenaventura Sit- jar, who died in 1813. Between their tomb and that of Father Ambris lies Fray Serria, the martyr-priest of Sole- dad, whose body was borne over the mountain paths on a bier of boughs, pine torches lighting the way, that he might lie with his brethren in the sleep eternal. For ten years the rains have beaten down upon the graves of these pioneers, the winter winds hurling upon them the rotted timbers of the vanished roof. And the removal of this debMs was no small task. With picks and shovels the workmen labored many days to remove the tons of debris. Now, fellow Californians, what ex- cuse can we offer our children, and their children's children in the years to | come, if we fail to save for them the noblest .historical structures in Amer- ica? What possible excuse can we fur- nish them, when the expenditure of a little sentiment, a little energy and a little money will preserve the most famous of American landmarks for an- other century, or many centuries? Let all good Californians who really want to save the missions and other kistorical structures attend the annual Democratic Delegation to the St. Louis Convention Ready for the Journey —_— The joint committee of the Republi- can State Central Committee and the executive committee of the State League of Republican Clubs has partly completed arrangements for the great rally and ratification meeting which will be held in the Alhambra Theater Wednesday evening, July 6, the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the Republican party.

Tarpey is chairman of the delegation, and It is quite well understood that he will be selected to represent the Democrats of California on the national committee of the party.

The headquarters of the California delegation to the St. Louis convention will be in the Jefferson Hotel, St. Louis. —_——— Section Hand Is Run Oover. Harry Maloney, a section hand em- ployed by the Southern Preific Rall- road, was run over and killed yester- day afternoon by an excursion train. Maloney was repairing a piece of track at Sixteenth street, near Harri- son, and evidently did not hear the approaching train, which was bound for Ingleside race track. On account of a curve in the track Engineer W. C. Airy failed to see the unfortunate man until the train was close upon him, but then did all in his power to stop the cars. Maloney died while on the way to the City and County Hos- pital. He resided at 42 bert street. RED MEN OF NORTHWEST ENGAGE IN WEIRD RITE Indians Gather on Mountain Top and to Sounds of Tomtoms Perform “Sacred” Dance. BUTTE, Mont., June 26.—Fourteen miles from Bptte, on the summit of “Buffalo Hump,” about 300 Indians from all the federated tribes of the Northwest are engaged in their annual “sacred” dance, one of the weirdest and strangest rites of the redskins of the West. With the breaking of dawn yester- day morning 100 warriors, represent- ing the Snakes, Crees, Flatheads, Chip- pewas, Shoshones and Lemhi tribes, crouching behind long barriers of pine brush, began a weird tooting of willow whistles to the beating of tomtoms by the squaws.
