FALSE STORY DISPROVED. t ry to a current story, acknowledged th found began expressed his gratification in able to congratulate the nurses on the ev f their entering upon their ife's work. He pictured their impor- tant duties and told what nurses have iplished. He told what the Board Health had done and was doing to ove the system In vogue at the and County Hospital and express- ed the hope that the graduates would maintain a high standard in their work. | Rev. P. Casey, chaplain at the hos- pital, delivered the invocation and after a selection by the Elks’ quartet Dr. T. W. Huntington was introduced and delivered an address that was filled with kind thoughts and:sound advice. He paid a high tribute to trained nurses, who he sald were heroines and who received less commendation for good deeds performed than any other class. He appealed to the nurses to be truthful, conscientious, painstak- ing and intelligent in their work. Previous to conferring the dipiomas, Mayor Schmitz said in part: ‘In vears past it has been customary for the Mayor of the city to be called upon to confer degrees upon the grad- uating class of nurses. In the two years just past, for reasons best known to d rout the ugly tale th ves, the former Board of Health f s ression of fr put that part of the programme to one . ng off of affe side.

The murderer attempted to kill his youthful assailant but fortunately the boy escaped uninjured. Avila sneaked up on his victim, who was returning from a dance, and put the pistol point blank to the side of Chavez' head and fired a 41-caliber bul- let through his brain. Then he stopped to slash at the wife of Chavez, but the child had taken a hand in the fight and was busily pelting tMe murderer with stones, hitting the mark not a few times. The enraged man fired again, but the little fellow dodging about escaped unhurt, hurling stones whenever he could. | “Avila fled when people, attracted by the fusillade, began to arrive, and the boy was found squatting by the side of his dead father. | will shall die before my own death, such legacies to such deceased persons shall lapse, and the amount of such legacies shall become rt of the residue of my estate, to be be- | hed In accordance with the provisions of sTaph twenty-first above contained.

BERTHA M. DOLBEER. | April 23, 1904 ASTONISHMENT EXPRESSED. Much astonishment has been ex-| pressed that Miss Helen Wagner re-! ceived so small a bequest, as it was known that she was well beloved by the heiress, who was not a maiden to create friendships on an impulse. Her friendships were real entities—and they | lived. It is whispered that Milton Latham was the man who held the key to her heart. It is even said that an under- standing existed between him and Miss Dolbeer to wed on her return. But if the tale is true, the will bears no evi- dence of it. Attorney E. S. Pillsbury filed Miss Dolbeer’s will and applications for let- | ters of administration upon her estate were presented by Willilam G. Mugan | and George D. Gray. The will was filed early in the day, but was immedi- ately taken by the attorney to a pho- tographer’s, where a photographic copy was made. The petitions for letters did not go into the question of value of the estate, merely stating formally that it was worth more than $10,000. Mugan’s petition recited the fact that Miss Dol- beer died in New York on July 9, 1904, at the age of 27 years and that she left a holographic will bearing date of April 23, 1904, It was stated in the petition that the heirs at law are Mrs. Joseph L. Moody, an aunt, residing in San Francisco; Henry Schander, an uncle, residing at Bacramento, and Adolph Schander, an uncle, residing at Alameda. The lega- tees and devisees are set forth as they appear in the will UNCLES WILL CONTEST. The two Schanders, uncles of the de- ceased, who, like Mrs. Moody, the first mentioned heir at law, are not included in decedent's will and it is they that | threaten to precipitate the battle over the estate. Adolph Schander, who re- sides at 1917 Schiller street, Alameda, a brother of the late mother of Miss | Dolbeer, said last night: “The first I knew of how Miss Dol- beer had disposed of her estate I learned from reading a copy of her| will. It appears that she has be- | queathed almost all of her estate to | strangers, who have not the same claim | to her property as near relatives have, | My brother, Henry Schander, has re- tained Attorney Hiram Johnson to con- test the will. If he did not take such action I and other relatives would, as I feel that we are entitled to share in the estate. “I did not have the time to investi- gate the matter to-day, but to-morrow will do so. I will consult with my brother, “who resides in San Francisco, and it is very probable that we will outline a plan of action. As yet I have not conferred with Henry about the will and, of course, cannot say just what he intends to do other than that he means to make a fight for recog- nition when the estate is finally ai- vided. I had not seen Miss Dolbeer for some time and am not in a position to say anything concerning her mental condition or attitude toward her uncles prior to her death. WATSON IS RETICENT.

N. Kling Sees Selfish-] ness and Vindictiveness in Workingman’s Journals ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH Blames Organizatidns for| the Non-Attendance of | Wage Earners at Worship “To-day the newspapers have more to do with molding the thought of than perhaps all other influences combined,” declared the | Rev. N. A. Kling of Oakland, yester-f day morning, at a meeting of the Methodist Ministers’ Association, at | Epworth Hall. Mr. Kling said in part: ‘\ This is a dey of unions, from the bootblack | up. Every union has a stated time for its| ! meetings, which are usually held on Sunday, and In these meetings long pent-up feelings are given vent and voice. It s here that the members declare that | capital must be crushed and that the employer | of labor is the bhard taskmaster. It is here that the sentiment Is created and fostered that | the church is allled to capital, | Recently in Union Square, New York City, | ome of the foremost representatives of organ: ized labor in the United States, a man of na- tional reputation, poured out a lava stream of vituperation against the church and its min- isters, both Protestant and Roman Cathollc. The Youne Men's Christlan Assoclation was called ‘“tbat scab institution,” and Cooper's Institute was sald to do more good in & week than all the New York churches in a year. | And a certain New York daily paper, it was | declared, ‘‘represented the spirit of true brotherhood more in a single {ssue than the Christian ministers, parasites of soclety, could | do_in an age with' their hired mouthings.” | These utterances were lustily cheered by the | large crowd of workingmen. | In conversation with the workingmen I have | learned much regarding thelr grievances and | their prejudices. They do not appreciate the | fact that those outside of their own ranks who | are seeking to make secure the rights of labor are Christian men and clergymen. Hand in hand with the labor unions go the labor organs. These Dapers and _magazines come even closer to the llves of workingmen than the daily press. All Who have read these sheets will appreciate their _vindictiveness, scifishness and narrowness without further comment, Fraternal organizations have their part also in the estrangement of workingmen from the church of Christ. Many proudly assert that the | religion of their order is good enough for them. The saloon is the greatest enemy of the church It is here that labor problems are | talked over and political schemes hatched out. | These are some of the conditions among workingmen to-day. My words, however, but faintly describe their condition or their atti- tude toward the church, the members of which | they generally characterize as “'kid-glove | aristocracy’’ and ‘‘pusillanimous skinflints.”” Meén misjudge the church because they do not knew it. Much of the preaching of to-day is too far heavenword for the workingman; the high-flown music, with passages which display the skill of trained choirs and pro- fessional singers, does not appeal to the aver- age workingman. The only interest displayed by this class of men is in the way of amuse- ment, as they watch the leader practice delsarte as he cuts the air with his baton. In the matter of remedy, we ought to re- member that in trylng to’ help men it can best be done by replacing the things they ought not to have with things they may have in order that they may work out their own salvation and upbuilding. It would seem suf- ficlently clear that our methods have been sadly deficient. In this country the masses are the sources of power. We are concerned not with aristocracies but with the people, and when we say the people rule that m ans that mere numbers rule. Religion energized and applied is the great est uplifting power known among the ethical | and sociological influences of modern life. Re- | ligion is to the modern malaria of a city what ! sunshine is to the Dolsonous mists of marshes. Religion is more than an emotional, spiritual matter, It is also a cold-blooded civie propo- sition, ‘based upon vital principles that count | for good citizenship. After giving her valuable services as general secretary to the Occidental Board of the Presbyterian church for fifteen years, Mrs. L. A. Kelley has | resigned the position and was yester- day elected a vice president of the organization. The usual weekly meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers’ Assoclation | was held yesterday at Presbyterian House, Sacramento street. A paper | on “The Friendless” was read, and an able plea for unfortunate humanity made by the Rev. Edward A. Freden- hagen. The same clergyman also spoke before the Congregational Min- isters’ Association. —_—— Ah Sow to Be Charged. Detective Thomas Ryan says that he will charge Ah Sow, the Chinese woman who, it is alleged, tried to poison her husband a week ago to- day, with attempt to commit murder. The police have endeavored to ~ get Tong Ling, the husband, to prefer the charge, but he persists in refusing. Ryan will make the charge himself at the solicitation of the District Attor- ney. ———— Charged With Assault. Pedro Gestros was taken from the City and County Hospital yesterday by the police and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Gestros had a fight with a man on Pacific street two weeks ago and both were injured. His antagonist, being the least injured, was charged at the time. Gestros has been in the hospital since the en- counter, and was well enough yester- day to go to jall. M e inevitable battle over the estate be- “We have just learned of the con- tents of the will of Miss Dolbeer through the newspapers,” sald Watson, “and as we have not discussed the sit- uation in detail I cannot say what we will do. We have not considered the matter of a contest. We have not de- cided what action we will take.” ‘Watson studiously aveided declaring that his wife would not make a con- test. There is apparent admission in this omission. Mrs. Moody was seen at her residence last night. When questioned relative to the will and the bequests made therein Mrs. Moody showed a decided reluctance to discuss the subject. She stated that she did not know anything about the will and did not care to know. ‘When asked if the disposal of her de- ceased kinswoman's property was in a measure satisfactory Mrs, Moody evinced by her manner rather than by her words that it was not. She re- peated that she did not know anything about the will and did not want to know. Miss Warren, devisee of the bulk of Miss Dolbeer's estate, could not be seen yesterday afternoon. It was an- nounced that she was ill, the result of exhaustion and mental strain. The possibilities of a picturesque and bitter contest are apparent. That it will soon begin is admitted and it promises to go down in the history of the local bar listed with the big battles for fortunes that have made famous the courts of California.

SLEUTHS WANT HIDING REFUGEE e Benjamin Germain Must An- swer to Charge of Bigamy if He Can Be Discovered SECOND WIFE COMPLAINS Report Says He Victimized Her and Is Secreting Him- self in Heart of Montana Somewhere In the wooded heights of Montana, the police believe at Hamilton, Benjamin F. Germain, of the blood of the fatherland, is rusti- cating. A warrant was issued yester-I day for his arrest on a charge of big- amy and if the detectives of the wild mining State can lay hands on him the tan of the mountains will fade in the gloom of the prison. On May 17 last at Santa Barbara, s0 Attorney C. M. Jennings of 214 Pine street, who swore to the war- rant, told the police yesterday, Ger- main wedded Virginia H. Barker, keeper of a small but profitable com- mercial establishment in the city named. One thing he neglected to do, and that was to inform his bride that she was his second wife; that the first was living in Eureka, Humboldt County, and that no decree of divorce had separated them. Not content with this oversight, it is alleged, Germain caused the sec- ond Mrs. Germain to sell her store in Santa Barbara and disposé of property in Oakland at a sacrifice. “With the proceeds of these transactions, it is averred, they set out on their honey- moon trip to Seattle. There Germain is said to have secured $300 from his bride, all she possessed, and fled to Montana. Astounded at his conduct, Mrs. Ger- main the secdhd instituted an investi- gation and found that she was not a legal wife; that the man that married her was a bigamist, she his confiding victim. Communitating with friends, she secured sufficient funds to return to this city, where she placed the facts before her attorney. The police now have the case in charge, with pros- pects of an interesting series of epi- sodes in the career of Benjamin F. Germain. —— e —— FINANCE COMMITTEE FAILS TO FIX RATE Unable to Decide on Percentage of Taxation to Be Used for Specific Ends. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors held a session last night to consider the proposed amendment to the charter relating to the acquisition of public utilities by the city and county of San Francisco. The entire evening, however, was con- sumed in attempting to fix a rate of taxation and evenly distribute it for the payment of the running expenses of the city government. At one time the committee seemed likely to decide on a rate of not less than 10 cents on $1 for public improvements, not less than § cents for the repair of streets and buildings, and 85 cents to be used for maintenance of the de- partments. Objection was raised to this on the ground that it would ar- bitrarily bind the disbursement, and the discussion broke out afresh. The committee adjourned without reach- ing a decision on the matter. ——— SPECTAL _ ADMINISTRATORS. — Matilda Norman and Julius Finck, named in the will of Eva Barbara Kramer &s executors, yester- day petitioned the Superior Court for speclal letters of administration upon which is worth $20,000 and consi realty.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “DeAr Mgs. Prngram: —1 suffered for several years with general ‘weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe- tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. Noone can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up ug&geneml health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and e me feel as spry and active as a young gir! Mrs. Pinkham’s medicines are certainly all they are to be.” — Mgs. M. E. Hugasox, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, IlL Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman’s daily life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending w.the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started. The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don’t let the condition become chronmic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. _ &ore than a million women have r health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. » If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at L Mass., for her advice, and a few timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington : St., Kingston, Ont., writes: =« " ®Dpar Mgrs. Prvxnaw:— You are indeed & godsend to women, and if they all knew what you could do for them, there would be no need of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. “I suffered for years with bearing-down guns, womb trouble, nervousness,and excruciating head. ache, but & few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising to me. Iam lightand happy, and I do not know what sickness is, and I now enjoy the best of health.” Lydia E. ham’s Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints, —that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in the early stage of development, and checks any tendency to cancer- ous humors. It subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the entire female system. Its record of cures is the greatest in the world, aad should be relied upon with confidence.
