More than that, she is youns, very young, to have attained such dis- tinction. notions of what the only one of her kind in the world should be immediately go glim- mering before the gentle charm of this frail little woman. Brown of eye and of hair, and sug- | gesting less than medium height, Miss Wishaar presents a dainty femininity at variance with her occupation, which has hitherto been considered essentially masculine. Although a native of New York Miss Wishaar considers herself really al Califorpia girl, she came to this State when very young, and it was here that she received the impetus! that has at last placed her in a | unique position in the art world. She | began her studies in the San Jose Art School and completed them in the New York studio of William M. Chase, the noted instructor. Lee Lash, whose name is a familiar | one to every Californian artist, was, at the time of Miss Wishaar's attend- ance there, her instructor in the San Jose Art School. He is now in charge ot several scenic studios in-New York, apd “when his former pupil made up | her mind to invade territory hitherto | sacred to man, she naturally expected | and sought encouragement from her erstwhile master. But, in the language of the street, he coolly “turned her down.” He said that scene painting was no work for a woman; that her sex would make her unwelcome among the workmen, and that women were too “finicky” for work that demands broad effects. That settled it, so far as Lee Lash was concerned. Not discouraged in the least by her rebuff, howéver, Preconceived | of the Herald Square Theater. He gave her a chance, though with little faith in the experiment. Her success was immediate and she remained with Mr. Dodge for several years. She also assisted in painting the scenery of many of Proctor's famous productions. Peculiarly, Miss Wishaar's talent sweeps over a wide range. Not only | is she an adept with the broad brush | and tricky “distemper” of the scene | painter, but she is even more skillful with the tiny “camel’s hair” and oil of the miniature artist. Her display of | miniatures at the last Starr King art | exhibit attracted much attention. When seen to-day Miss Wishaar's slender, girlish figure was enveloped in a big blue apron profusely adorned with smudges of paint, and as she talked she continued to “lay in,” with sure hand, a Venetian setting for | “Frou Frou,” next week's play.

Clapp to-day denied that any ill feeling has developed between the university authorities and Miss Mabel Hay Barrows as the result of Miss Barrows' withdrawal from the cast of “Ajax,” which was to have been produced to-morrow afternoon, but has been postponed to Saturday morning. “We needed the extra time in order that Miss Barrows' substitute, ~ Mr. Keane, might learn his lines,” said Professor Clapp to-day. “That was one reason for the postponement. Miss Barrows did all the preliminary work and diqd it well and all regret that her illness makes it necessary that she withdraw from the undertaking now."” Mrs. Barrows, mother of the young Greek student and stage director, to- day declined to discuss the affair, say- ing merely that the play had been postponed for good reasons and that . | there is no friction between her and the university authorities. Miss Barrows' physician ‘says that the young woman is suffering from congestion of the lungs. —_———— Marriage Licenses.

From the land of the chrysanthemum |a letter found its way into court to- ( day which gained a divorce for Charles M. Ekelund. The missive ended a ro- mance begun a few years ago. Kath- Ierlne Ekelund, the defendant in the suit. wrote the letter to her husband whichk served as evidence and showed that her'love was but a remembrance. : With determination to forget the past she thus addressed her husband: Dear Charles: Of course you know I am In Yokohama. T've been here about two Weeks. Got offer ‘of nosition and left within twelve hours from the time I heard of it. I got tired of living as I was. I tired of It all and I zaw that a complete change was the best. If we had both realized it years ago inst of hanginz on as we were, it would have meant a much happler life for both of us. After the way you acted In San Francisco lately I realized more fully than ever how im- possible it was for us ever to live together and be_hanpy.

God! when I think of the lonely nights I spent In San Francisco, how I used to creep into my bed and go to slesp at 7 o'clock that I might forget how lonely I was and the thanks I got—yes, they were showered upon me—I got so blue and desbondent that even Patsy and the girls eased to come to see m Now I am away and free as the air, and— Well, I want you to get a divorce.

And I desire it. 1 have some say in the matter, as I once sald ‘“‘ves," o now I will say ‘‘no,” and I rest on your honor to release me. 1 tell you frankly that I shail consider myself free whether it goes through the law or not, and 1 know 1t would be best for us both. Yes, for God's saks, Charles, end it. I won't keep your name after that. I think it best not. I don't feel hard toward you. At the thought of you tears come, but it is all over between us as completely as though the grave held one of us. Ekelund is employed by the Southern Pacific Company and said that he had to live in Oakland while his wife in- sisted upon living in San Francisco. She hated housework and insisted upon doing the work of a stenographer and having the remainder of the time in which to.pursue her literary tastes. She had often said that she wished to go to Japan and left without letting him know when or where she was going. — CITY WINS IT§ Gl\w SUT Injunction to Stop the Crematory Is Denied and the Plant May Operate —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oect. 12 The charges made against the mun- icipal garbage crematory recently es- tablished at Twenty-second and Wood streets, by Leonardi Vinci, who at- tempted to stop the operation of the works by injunction proceedings, fell flat this afternoon when Judge Ells- worth rendered an opinion denying the relief prayed for and giving it as his opinion that from the evidence produced before him a great deal of the talk against the works was the result of overwrought imaginations. In a lengthy opinion rendered at the conclusion of the trial, which has con- sumed more, than a week, Judge Ells- worth this evening said that the charges made against the crematory had not been proven and from the evidence produced it was almost im- possible that the conditions alleged could exist. It was shown that the Vinci home had been built upon a garbage dump. The crematory was located upon one and the evidence went to show that the big sewer running through that part of the city was broken in many places and gave off offensive odors. The court did not believe that these could be attributed to the crematory. ———— Successful Debaters.

'Dugged out of bed at midnight, compelled to dress and accompany a policeman to the City Prison, where | she was obliged to remain all night. was the experience of Mrs. Bertha Conness at the hands of her brother- in-law, C. G. Cano, who styles himself ) president of the Soconusco Rubber Company of Mexico. Cano swore to & warrant before Prosecuting Attorney Leach charging Mrs. Conness with dis- turbing his peace in that she had inter- fered in the Cano domestic household, had barred him out or nis own home and had tried to make trouble between his wife and himself, The Prosecuting Attorney was aston- ished this morning when Mrs. Cano ap- peared in court as her sister’s defender. The wife and sister-in-law put a very different aspect upon the case. They declared that Cano had deliberately deceived Leach, that he nad absolutely no grounds for his complaint, that Mrs. Cano had been the main obstacle in the way when he tried to get into the house. The Cang residence is at 1008 East Sixteenth street. Cano sald he went home Monday night and could not get in. After accusing his sister-in-law of cbjectionable interference he sought Leach. Cano did not appear to prosecute his kinswoman this morning. In a statement to Police Judge Samuels Leach said: This man did mot tell me Mrs. Conness was bis sister-in-law, nor did he tell me that his wife had prevented him from going into the house. So far as he is conceraed, 1 have been informed by Mrs. Cano that her husband has not earned $20 f year and t he has been compelled to work hard to support the home. This was why she locked him out. Grave injustice has been done Mrs. Conness and Cano simply tried to persecute her out of revenge. Judge Samue.s dismissed the case.
