14 THE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1904 SOVEREIGN GRAND LODGE OFFICERS ARE DUE IN SAN FRANCISCO T O-NIGHT HALE'S. | v HALE'S. I HALE'S. 1 In San Francisco for the First Time: the Fam ¥ " Coats for Children s Hold Reception at Hale’s To-Day The materials, the styles and the prices will be a welcome revelation. They're as different from the ordinary coats for children as linen is from cotton. That's why they are here; that’s why we are emphasizing them so forcibly; that’s why we want you to come and see them to-day. We know you will be glad to get acquainted with them. You know you are as welcome to look as vou are to buy. Such bright, new, pretty styles, individually girlish. But see the coats in the picture; how nobby they are, how perfectly they hang and fit! They represent dozens of others in the store. Every one absolutely all wool and proven; that’s what Wooltex meant originally. It means more now, for the maker has raised his standard until it represents all that is best, not only in material, but in workmanship and style and_finish. His business has grown to such proportions that his prices aren’t higher than-others charge for inferior goods. Three years ago he wanted us to bring these coats to California. He made big promises. Now he has kept them and the coats are three years better than they ‘were then. The worthiest that San Francisco has ever seen, Because we have given him this six-store outlet San Francisco children can wear them and pay less than many New York stores can sell them for. Splendid Wooltex suits for women, too, but it’s the children’s coats to-day.

WOMAN SWEARS AGAINST PRIEST Mrs. Mattie Huffman Gives Testimony in Gray Case i in Favor of Dr. Brennan The defense in the case of Dr. Thomas F. Brennan, accused of rob- | bing the aged priest, Father Gray, of $37,000, was concluded yesterday with a sensation. Mrs, Mattie E. Huffman, a protes- | sional nurse, swore that in 1892, while she was employed at Alameda in the same house where the physician and the priest resided, Father Gray re- ! marked to her: “I am glad that I have given Dr. | Brennan my money. He is to proviae a home for me during the rest of my life.” ! A murmur of ' excitement buzzed ! through the courtroom when tne | statement was made. Instantly Judge ! Conlan began a rigid cross-examina- tion of the witness. She refused to be shaken, but repeated the testimony. Attorney Cannon, for the defense, rose to his feet with objections. The Judge wondered and asked the attorney why he had not brought the witness forward before. The attorney said he had discovered the evidence late. “Did you consult with Dr. Brennan before you came here?” the Judge asked the woman. “I did not,” was the answer. And though she appeared to wince under | the fire of similar cross-questions, she held by this testimony. This testimony concludes the de- fense, and the case will be argued to- mMOorrow.

Bring the little girl GARDEN FETE AT KENT HOLDS FORTH TO-DAY To-day is the “gladdest day of all the year” for the little lads and lassies over in the gray stone house on the ISan Anselmo hills—the San Anselmo Orphanage. } For to-day are the gardens and |lawns of the Kent home at Kentfield (near Ross) turned over for the making of dollars and dimes for the main- tenarice of the orphanage and which is under the patronage of many charming maids and matrons from this side and from San Rafael and Ross. Loads of attractions will interest the hosts of good folk—big and little—who 8o over for sweet charity’s sake. There will be willing donkeys to ride, which have given their word to behave deccrously and not ‘“buck.” Baskets | of grapes, grown on the Kent acres, purple and luscious, will be sold for | the little inmates of the gray stone house on the hill, ice cream, candy and all the dear sweet things of childhood. A Scottish piper promises to play the bonny airs of ‘“Auld Scotland” and fetching ballads will be sung by Wil- liam Balnaves and Mrs. John Dempster McKee. The Presbyterian Orphanage should be the happier to-night by a thousand dollars for the day's labor of love at Kent. Those who go over early for a day’s outing under the purpling grapes and the soft magnolias need have no haunting fears of hunger—for luncheon will be served by some mighty, pretty majds—and served for a quarter—with change back. Loads of men are going over on the 2 o'clock boat, but the 10 a. m. will beag most of the feminine patrons. P To-night a notable wedding will take place at 1230 Pine street, when Miss Violet Jacobs will become the bride of Robert L. France, lumber inspector of the Southern Pacific Company. Miss Jacobs is an attractive mald, dark of hair and blue of eye and pos- sessed of a fetching style. The young bride was educated at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in this city, where her cleverness and charm won her hosts of friends. After being graduated Miss Jacobs and her mother traveled abroad for a year, spending much time in Paris— from whence 'tis said much of the trousseau has come. Mr. France is well connected and is exceptionally popular in his business and social affiliations. The wedding will be attended only by relatives. . $2 50 and $3 00 Shoes 100 styles; all $3 50 and James Means’ for men have no equal; through James Means’ Fourth street.

F. We NATIVE TREES ARE PROTECTED Forester of Philippine Tells of Work Done There Captain George P. Ahern. Ninth United States Cavalry, who has been serving for several years as Govern- ernment chief forester in the Philip- pines, was among the pasengers arriv- ing on the transport Sherman yester- day. He is on his way to the St. Louis Exposition, where he will superintend the disposition of the Philippine ex- hibits after the close of the fair. With a half-million dollar appropriation Captain Ahern has succeeded during the last four years in effecting a thor- ough forestry service in Uncle Sam's new possessions, where sixty stations, in charge of competent American for- esters, have been established. Every possible precaution has been taken to prevent the spread of forest fires, and strict rules are being enforced to reg- ulate the cutting of timber by the Chinese, Spanish and American lum- bermen. In discuseing his department Captain Ahern said yesterday. We have a forest reservation also which is set aside for special protection, to conserve either the water flow of certain streams o the forest itself. The only difference be- tween the reservations and other public forests is that the reservations cannot bé entered upon as_homesteads or sold. | , There are between 500 and 700 kinds of timber taken out, there being fully 1500 kind of wood in the islands. Sometimes forty d ferent species are found on one acre of groun On one tract of 100 square. miles you will find fully 400 different species. We have a large workshop in Manfla su- perintended by three expert cabinet-makers from Rochester, N. Y., assisted by thirty or forty Filipinos. In this snop we endeavor to show - the and beauties of different of the kinds that are found In the Philipoines we dia star n es we not scientific work, but first endeavored. o show results in revenue. We made $100,000 the first year, $160,000 the second and then $260,- 000. " So, after the first year, when I asked for_appropriations, they were very generous. Before having legislation on the subject I had a talk for two days with the lumbermen— Chinese, Spanish and Filipinos. We have as a rule public discussion of public acts befors they are passed, so when this came up thers yas very little eft o be said after our con- erence. Captain Ahern says the Filipinos are | rapidly becoming accustomed to Amer- ) ican methods of government, and that ! they have shown a decided change for | the better during the last twelve | months. He added that Americans in | the Philippines do not like the idea af | paying duty on goods from the United States, and he expressed the-opinion i that a system of internal revenue | would soon be substituted for the cus- toms tarift as a means for the main- tenance of the government of the islands. “As a man thinketh, so is he.” ] As a man drinketh, so is he.
