Dick watched every movement, but could not spring at the keeper with his lame paw. So he squatted on the floor and snarled and spit at the object of his hatred.

PHILADELPHIA, April 19.—Market street “mashers,” closely corelated with that other species of effeminate masculinity, the “Chestnut street walk- ing-stick,” have been crippled by the Reserve squad, in furtherance of the Bureau of Police’s determination to rid the streets of.annoyances. Forgetting the crusade of several weeks ago, when scores of arests were made, the mashers took courage.and tried to revive their pastime. Reserve Policeman Welsh saw four of them annoying young girls at the Reading Terminal, and . warned them, but he said they kept up their “Hello, Lucy!” “Howd'y, Susie!” so iong that he arrested them. Arraigned before Magistrate Eisen- brown in Central Station, yesterday, | they gave their names as A. N. Brown, hotel clerk, of Columbia avenue, west of Thirty-first street; C. D. Watt | messenger, Camac street, below Wal- | nut; John R. Shaw, chauffeur, Camac street, above Vine, and Lew Berg, ma- chinist, of Tenth street, below Bain- bridge. The policeman declared they wére a menace to respectability, and theé mag- istrate agreed. ! f 4 “It's an outrage,” declared the mag- istrate, “that this sort of thing is car- ried on. You have no business about the station unless you are going away. 4 will let you go this time, but if you are ever brought-before me: again I shall send you to prison for a term Jong enough to make you sorry.

One Half of the Mission Falls a- Prey to the Elements. The fire-swept district last night, when the last buildifig’ had offered its frame as food for the most fearful of elements, embraced practically all of that part of the city east of Frankiin street between Market and the bay, south of Golden Gate avenue from La- guna to Market, -east of Buchanan from Hayes to Market, south of M ket from Twentieth street to the water front, and down to Townsend street, from Twentieth street, between Do- lores and Capp streets. The devastated area includes, gener- ally speaking, one half of the Mission, all of ¢he manufacturing and business districts, the North Beach section, Nob, Russian, Telegrapn and Rincon Hills and the water front. Two wida thoroughfares, Dolores street and Van Ness avenue, gave the fire fighters a chance to dynamite a swath behind the flames, It was at these two points that the raging torrent of flame was arrested and the greater part of the residence portion. of the city saved from destruction. To the width of these two streets the city owes the ab- sence of complete annihilation. This does not detract from the gal- lant and untiring efforts of the mem- bers of tae Fire and Police Depart- ments and the militia and troops. Firemen, policemén and soldiers | fought for San Francisco, and they did i nobly. They snatched food and a lit- i tle sleep when and wherever they could.

One hasty glance over the devas tated city could not compel the holding back of tears. All that remains of a once beautiful city is marked by gaunt, ghost-like frames, chimneys and heaps of ruin. » Nob Hill, the site of many of the city’s palatial homes, is but a charred mound of earth, on the crest of which stands the frame- work of the beautiful Fairmont Hotel. In some cases architectural beauties stand unmarred except for blackened walls and .absent windows. At the Union Iron Works huge ves- sels are lying on their beam-ends, half in and half out of water, collapsed and sunken docks with ruins stretching in- land. The large passenger steamers, City of Puebla and Columbia were wrecked at their cocks at the iron works. MAN IS CRAZED OVER AN ACTRESS NEW YORK. April 17.—Morris Got- lieb, who was employed as electrician in the Empire Theater, where Maude Adams is playing “Peter Pan,” was taken to the Yorkville Police Court and was charged with being insanely in love with the actress. He admitted the love part of the accusation, but denied the insanity. Dr. M. S. Greg- ory, who is in charge of the psycho- pathic ward at Bellevue Hospital, said that in his opinion there was no doubt as to the man's insanity. Detective Hart of the East Thirty-fifth street station took him to court from the hospital. “This man is in love with Maude Adams and the physicians at Bellevue say he is insane and that it would be dangerous to let him be at large,” the detective said to Magistrate Mayo. “Why didn’t they send him to an In-| stitution, then, if they found him suf- fering from insanity ?” asked the court. “They could not do so, as he had gone to the hospital of his own ac- cord,” replied the detective as he hand- ed up a letter which was addressed to the court by Dr. Gregory. The letter read: “Several days ago Gotlieb voluntarily asked to be examined. It was found that his mind was unbalanced, but he refuses to be committed. We think he is unsafe to be at large.” The man sajd in court that he was thirty-four years old and lived at No. 440 East Fourteenth street. He had been employed in the Empire Theater for four months, he added. i S From what the detective had learned | at the hospital it apeared that the man[ and a young woman drove in a car- riage to Bellevue last Thursday and asked that an examination be made as to the man’'s mental condition. He | was placed under observation in the | psychopathic ward for the five days | prescribed by law. As he refused to ! be sent to an institution for the insane | i the hospital authorities had to dis- charge him or have him formally com- { mitted by a magistrate. | The detectiva said <he understood | that the young woman who accom: | panied . the electrician to the hospital | { was Miss Boynton, the private secre-| tary of the actress with whom the man is in love. Gotlieb nimself confirmed this in ] talking about his case while waiting. ‘When the magistrate had heard all that Hart had to say about the man he ordered him to make a formal affidavit | of insanity so that the electrician | could be sent back to Bellevue for a further examination. “I freely acknowledge my love for Maude Adams,” the electrician said. “I have loved her for some time and thought 1 was loved in return, but it is possible that I misconstrued her kind- | ness for love. I believed my love was reciprocated, and as an hoest man I | thought I had a right to pay my re- | ! spects to her. She is one grand, pure woman and does not deserve a word of | reproach. “I tried to overcome my love for her, and I took a trip te Chicago, | thinking the change of scene would | change my thoughts, but the distance only brought her closer to my mind. I wrote to her a number of times, but she never answered my letters. “Last Thursday I decided to call on ‘her at the Hotel Manhattan. When I went there her secretary, Miss Boyn- ton, met me and asked if I would go to see a physician who was a friend of the actress. I consented and we went to Bellevue. I was only too glad to oblige Miss Adams. It shows lhow simple T was to be caught by such a hoax and allow myself to be kept there and examined. I may have been ‘nutty’ over my love, but I now real- ize how foolich I was to 'think that Maude Adams would ever love a man like me. \ “She would only smile at me, and I was foolish enough to think the smiles favored my suit.” ‘When the substance of the detec- tive's affidavit was made known to him he asked that someone inform the actress that the physicians had declared him insane, and that he begged she would save him from go—l ing to an insane asylum. “Tell her,” he went on, “that the man with the crooked nose is now in his senses and does not want to go to an asylum.” 1 i | | | | > 3 OR PARK Temporary Buildings Are to Be Erected | Mission| 5\ District Is Feared, Government Begins to Lay Out a Large Sanitary Camp. + Magistrate Mayo committed him te Bellevue. N ke METHODISTS ARE FOES. NEW YORK, April 16.—Answering question which he said had beem asked of him many times in the last few days as a result of charges made against ministers by “Big Six* Bishop Charles C. C. McCabe, in a ser- mon before the New York East Confer- ence, in the New York-avenue Churca, Brooklyn, that his church was opposed to labor unions as they now exist and would use its influence to wipe them out or reform them, said: “I have received letters from friends and labor men,” said he, “asking me to state the position of the Methodist Church on the labor problem, and I take this opportunity to outline our sition. T want to state the attitude >f l:lel church, and this statement is offi- clal. “We are opposed to having a small percentage of labor men run the entirs laboring class in a high-handed and authoritative manner. We are the friends of labor, but we are as much the friends of the 90 per cent of the laborers who resent the bossism of the unions as we are of the 10 per cent who are doing the bossing. It is an impo- sition for a few men to be able to say “join our union or you cannot work.™ It is an imposition to refuse to allow men to work as they will if they work honestly and earn their livelihood by honest sweat. “As now constituted labor unions cannot long stand. Either they must reform themselves or they will cease 0 exist, as they are now unfair and un- just, and the honest working man can- not long be subjected to oppression without rising in revolt. I want every one of the 300 ministers here to accent this as his creed and preach it.

I want the statement to be published broadcast, so that there can be no a toward honest labor. should become “part every Protestant Church. One of the newest ideas in the Chris- tian Church, Bishop McCabe said, Is that Hebrews must be converted to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. “One of the most pathetic all history is that the Hebr‘:*:rm still Jooking for Jesus to come,” he said. “I intimately know a wealthy Hebrew who has been converted to tl.e Chris- tian Church. and who is sperding large sums sending out the New Testament [}
