If he is an honest man he will give you the D. Ghirardelli Co.’s preparations. He knows that they are what you want; what you have always used; what created your preference for chocolate and cocoa to coffee and tea. If heis serving your interests conscientiously he will give you D. Ghirardelli's brands. On the other hand: if he is indifferent to your wants, if the few cents extra profit will reconcile him to betraying your trust, he will try to give you cheap imitations of D. Ghirardelli’s Chocolate and Cocoa. Of course he risks the loss of your custom by misrepresentation, for the grocér who carries a counterfeit stock is a menace to the ilealth of the public. There are hundreds of honest grocers—there are some others. Is yours among the others? The genuine D. Ghirardell?’s Ground Chocolaté is packed in patented hermetically sealed cans, opposite Olympic Club.* | - MRS C.C.REID> NURSERY ASKS CITIZENS' ATD City’s Homeless Children Re- fused Shelter Owing to Lack of Accommodations SN The San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children appeals to the char- | indicates that the theater will be filled | By many | | years of hard struggling and close fig- | ionable audiences that has ever as- ity of e San Franciscan. uring the nursery has been enabled to purchase a city block on Lake street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth ave- nues. By donations terials, contributions from sources, and benefits and fairs, the foundations for an adequate building have been completed. This work has called for the expendi- ture of a large sum. Before starting the foundation the nursery had $15,000 on hand. The building is estimated to cost $25,000, therefore $20,000 more will be needed before the home can be com- pleted. The work has come to a stand- still' owing to lack of funds. Meantime, at the old nursery on Mission street, the authorities are compelled to turn away. many applicants daily. The building is crowded and the nursery is unable to care for more children, no matter how urgent the necessity. It is the desire of the nursery to equip a large modern building, capable of housing 150 to 200 children. There will be two large dormitories for boys and girls, a large room for babies un- der five years, playgrounds, dining- rooms, kitchens, an infirmary, laundries and baths. - Donations of building materials, trees and shrubbery for the grounds, in fact, anything that can possibly be used will be gladly received. Address all contri- butions to the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children, street. There has been an attempt made to fraudulently collect money in the name of the nursery. The nursery has no agents. All contributions should be sent to the home. —_——— LEAVES HOTEL WITHOUT PAYING A BOARD BILL Police Have Warrant for Arrest of William Webster on Charge of Defraunding an Inrkeeper. F. B. Pierce, proprietor of the Princeton Hotel, 710 Jones street, pro- cured a warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of William Webster on a charge of de- frauding an innkeeper. Pierce says Webster boarded at the hotel in July and August and disappeared without paying his bill of $89 85. ’ ‘Webster represented himself as the son of wealthy parents, and impressed Pierce with his importance. He always dressed for dinner, appearing either in a Tuxedo or full dress suit. His manners were polished and he was a | general favorite. After Webster left without saying even good-by Pilerce made inquiries and learned that he had gone to Hono- lulu. Pierce kept track of him, and now that he has returned Pierce de- termined to have him arrested. De- tectives Dinan and Wren have charge of the case. ——— FATHER 18 CRUEL.—M. J.

Forecaster Willson asserts that the ! storm center has passed from Califor- nia_and Oregon across the mountains to Idaho, Nevada and Montana. The fringe of the storm, however,was still hanging over the State last night, and the indications were that light show- ers might occur to-day‘'in the region north of the Tehachapl. The barometer was at the normal height yesterday, while the tempera- | ture was slightly warmer. Off shore | the winds were rather high, but were subsiding. During the early hours of yesterday morning the storm was most ‘severe in San Francisco, The rainfall in twelve hours was .71 of an inch. The rainfall for the season un to 5 o’clock last evening was 7.18 inches. Last vear the rainfall on the corre-} sponding date was .17 of an inch. ‘Willson says the meteorologists are not vet' ready to advance an explana- tion for the existence of the abnormal conditions. 3 From present indications calllornl.u‘ should have fair weather for the next week or two. —————————— GO EAST THIS MONTH.

Dolbeer Abandon the Attempt to Break Will| SIX MORE DEPOSITIONS Executors Obtain Order to| Take Testimony in New | York City on October 21 —_—— Evidently satisfled to rest their hopes | of participating in the distribution of Bertha M. Dolbeer’s fortune upon the success or failure of the contest against her will begun by Adolph Schander, the Eastern cousins of John Dolbeer, who filed a contest shortly after Schander, yesterday dismissed it. The notice of dismissal was signed by George R. Wells and Edmund Tauzsky, attorneys. The contestants, children of John Dol- beer’s brother, were Frazier M. Dol- beer, Jane Ann Brown, Alice H. Fern and Stephen T. Dolbeer. They live in New York. If Schander is successful in breaking the will the Easterners, as heirs-at-law, would share in the estate. An order for the taking of six more depositions in New York for use in the trial of the Schander contest was made yesterday by Judge Coffey upon appli- cation of Attorney E. S. Pillsbury, rep- resenting executor Willlam C. Mugan. The witnesses, who are to be exam- ined orally on October 21, are Joseph Roller, J. Turnbull, T. S. Rumney, W. H. Barse, Elizabeth H. Horan and Catherine Lee. Barse is manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where Miss , Dolbeer met her death. | Before fixing the date at October 21 Judge Coffey listened to a lively con- troversy between Attorney Albert M. Johnson and Alfred Sutro, representing Mr. Pillsbury. The latter wanted the depositions "taken on November 2, which is the date of the commencement of the trial here. Mr. Johnson urged that they be taken immediately after the depositions of Witnesses Popendick and Miss Pflugel of the steamship Deutschiand on October 21. Johnson said that his brother Hiram had gone to New York last Saturday to be pres- ent at the taking of the deposition of the Coroner and detectives on the 13th and would remain to take the others, but would have to return here in time for the trial, whereas the other side could have a representative in New York at the later date—a disadvantage for the contestant’s attorneys. Con- sidering that the proponents had been anxious to hurry the case to trial, Judge Coffey thought, for the con- | venience of the other side, they should stipulate for the taking of the deposi- tions at the earlier date. Mr. Sutro refused to make such a stipulation, so the court made an order. It is under- stood that an application for other depositions will be made by Mr. Pills-| bury. | —_———e— ——— — i Burnett's Vanilla Extract used| and highly indorsed by all leading hotels. * | - | MAHONY GETS RESPITE.—Ex-County | Clerk Bert Mahony was not ejected from his home at 2512 Market street yesterday at noon under a writ of possession secured by his land- lady.

The trial of Joseph Egan, better kpown as “Kid” Egan, on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon was on before a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday. When court adjourned all the evidence was in with the excep- tion of that of two witnesses in re= buttal. SPRINGS POINT [N SUTRO CASE amines Dr. Merritt as to| Father’s Trip to Europe Another turn was given yesterday to/ the great legal fight over the proposed distribution of a portion of Adolph Sutro’s estate. The taking of testimony upon the petition of Kate Nusbaum and the other Sutro children, excepting Dr. Emfa L. Merritt, who is oppos- ing them, was ended some weeks ago and the arguments have already oc- cupied days of time in Judge Coffey’s court. Yesterday was Garret Mc- Enerney’s turn to present the conten- tions of the petitioners, and he had the case reopened in order to question Dr. Merritt regarding her father’'s visit to Europe in 1882-83. Attorneys Mec- Kinstry, Morrison and Silliman, rep- resenting the opposition, asked Mr. Mec- Enerney to explain the purpose of the examination and he said that he in- tended to base an argument on the cir- | cumstances surrounding the making of | Sutro'g will and their bearing upon the | interpfetation to bé given the tfust| clause. Dr. Merritt evinced some surprise that Mr. McEnerney should know that | tions to be _ When the attorneys began to ques- tion the jurors it was asked whether they belonged to the Citizens’ Alll- ance or to a labor union. The Judge said he would not permit such ques- asked. The jurors were there as citizens and not as members of any union or alliance. The attor- neys had a consultation and agreed that each would have the privilege of asking the question to which the Judge had objected. The Judge said if it was agreeable to both sides he would withdraw his objection. Egan was one of the striking stable- men and is accused of having attacked Joel W. Fuller, a non-union stable- man, with a pitchfork near Golden Gate Park on May 15. ———— Two Men Rob Saloon. The saloon of John Smythe at Grove and Polk streets was robbed at 9 o'clock yesterday morning by two men, who got away and up to. a late hour last night had not been caught.
