THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

He ElabOrates and Emphasizes the Neces-
sity Of Obedience to Law.
GALEsBuRa, ILL.,, Oct 8.-The president,
responding to the mayors address of vel
come, said:
Mr.. Mayor and Fellow -Citizens-- The
magnitude of this great assemblage fills me
with surprise and with CONSERVATION. az /
am called upon to make this attemrt to
speak to You. came here to meet with
survivors of my old brigade. I came in
expectation that the day would generally be
spent in their companionship and in the
exchange of those cordial greetings which
express the fondness and love which We
bear to each other. But to my surprise I
found that here to-day the First brigade.
for the first time in its history, had been
captured. [Great laughter.l One or two
have been able to take by the hand, and
some of them I have seen as they marched
by the reviewing stand; but they seem to
have been swallowed up in this vast con-
course of their war comrades and of their
fellow-citizens of Illinois. I hope there
may yet be time during the day when /
shall be able to take each of them by the
hand and assure them that during these
years of separation since muster out day /
have borne them all sacredly in my affec-
tionate remembrance. They were body
of representative soldiers, coming from the
great central states of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and az the borders Of these states
touched in friendly exchange, 30 the elbows
Of those heroes and patriots touched IN the
great struggle for the union. [Applause.]

RUBE BURROWS DEAD.

The Notorious Outlaw Killed After Escap-
ing From Custody.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 8.-Rube Burrows,
the noted outlaw, who was captured yester-
day, was killed this morning at Linden,
while endeavoring to escape. He asked the
guard to hand him hissaddle bags, in which
were some crackers. The guard obligingly
complied, when, instead of crackers, Bube
drew forth two six-shooters and compelled
the guard to undo his manacles, and then
locked him in. He would have been at
large now had he not determined to get
back the money taken from him yesterday.
Going to the hotel he demanded this from
Officer Carter, and the shooting followed,
Burrows being killed and Carter desperately
wounded.

hended while engaged in cutting off
the leg Of little peasant girl six
years of age. whom they had kidnapped
in the neighborhood the same day. The
child says she knows they also intended to
disfgure her face in order to make her an
object of pity when begging.
Three members of the band were caught.
but Ivan Romis, who stole the child, has es-
capped. The band includes two children
without tongues, who have presumably been
kidnapped. All the members are disfgured.

4. Ronnell, of Seattle, who is in the city ON
legal business. came around to listen, but
his friend, Robert B. Smith, the president
of the club, called on him for speech; ha
made good one, for which he was elected
an honorary member. He was interrupted
by applause frequently. Once he tried to
stop, but was obliged to continue by the
loud calls Of "go on" Mr.. Ronnell said
that he did not expect to make speech
when he came in, but he was democrat
and proud of it. He had lived good many
years in country where the republicans
were always in power, but he never lost
heart or hope and never intended to a. long

the republicans to fght. The speaker then
in an incidental way dwelt upon the tariff.

OUR MARY'S MARRIED LOT.
Rambling in Rural England and Happy


Rambling in Rural England and Happy
Lark.
At Sonnirg Mr.. and Mrs. Navarro are en-
joying the comforts and beauties of one of
the quietest and loveliest retreats on the
Upper Thames. That, accordingsto Lon
don letter TO the Philadelphia Record, means
that Mary Anderson and her husband are
riding, driving, rambling and boating
amidst the richest of English countryside
scenes, where the city is net too far away,
and rural life is at its best in tree, flower,
shrubbery and lawn. Wi!ehood seems to
agree with her, for she is looking the pic
ure of health. Her new sphere seems to
have brought her fresh spirits and a rosy
view Of the future. With the return OF all
these blessings comes the suggestions from
those who are interested that she may
return to the stage again for one sea-
son. The argument is that having
been compelled to abandon her tour on
account of sickness she owes it to her man.
ager, who lost small fortune by the TAIL
ure, and to the public of her native country,
who were deprived of seeing her, to make
farewell visit. This is not re-entry upon
the stage, but as finishing broken contract
made before marriage.
Miss Anderson has always been noted as
an exceedingly conscientious girl, and this
would probably have been her desire had
she not, since her marriage, had perfectly
an.icable understanding with Mr. Abbey
about their past relations ms manager ard
actress, and settled all differences, if there
were any Mr.. Abbey, who is here. when
he heard the statement Of her thought of
farewell tour, took no stock in it. He de-
cidedly hoped that such was the case, but
doubted that she would ever again be seen
behind the fcotlights. This Judgment is
strengthened by the fact that she had ad-
justed all her matters with him before he
left New York, with the fun understanding
that she had lett the stage forever. 1t is
well known that this is the desire of Mr..
Navarro and his family, and his wishes will
probably be respected, regardless OF the
clamor Of one more look at 'OuT Mary" as
an actress

MRS. NAT MESSER

Is a lady both well known and popular In
large circle of society. She is the eldest
daughter of o. f. Gifin, name we'll known
to all old Californians. More than Thirty
years ago Mr.. Giffin, who previously had been
engaged in steamboating on Lake Erie, ar
rived in San Francisco, AMI in those early
times amassed a fortune in importing Med
itcrranean fruits and fireworks, two widely
different commodities it might be said, and
yet only an old Californian will understand
how, in that period, one might combine still
more widely divergent interests and make
fortune at the same time.
1t was from the mansion corner of Pine
and Jones streets, that Miss Lizzie Gif1in
went forth as Mr.. Nat Messer's bride, and
her life has been passed in this city. She is
one of the prettiest women in society. She is
tall, slight, wilowy in figure, with spirtuel
face, and extremely fascinating manners.
At the same time she has irresistible dash
and spirit and an inexhaustible fund of
humor, which makes her great addition to
any circle where mirth. merriment and
brightness is appreciated as it ought to be-
Mrs. Nat Messer is perhaps the most dar-
Ing OF all our equestrlennes. NO lady more
gracefully sits horse or makes better ap-
pearance as a hOrsewOmau than she in
her black habit and tall hat. She is alb
soiutely fearless, and, what is still more to
the purpose, she is able to carry out what
ever plan of dashing equestrienniSm it
may occur to her to attempt One season
she fascinated and terrified the residents and
visitors at Santa Cruz by riding her magnifi-
cent steed, dark bay, which she prizes all
the more aside from its fine qualities as an
animal. because of the fact that it was the
gift of a valued and distinguished friend,
utterly disdaining the use of saddle and
having only the surcingle and stirrnp by
which to keep her seat. Such racing PAGES
along the beach. such daring leaps as Mrs.
| Messer took over fences and whatever came
in her way, still lnger among the legends of
the place. She is often seen at the park, and
it must indeed be more than an ordinary
rider of either sex who can keep pace with
the venturesome lady. Whether on the
promenade or at an evening entertainment,
Mrs. Messer is always elegantly and taste
fully dressed and with such stylish figure
as 1t is her good fortune to possess she can
never appear at disadvantage.

The old home of DR.. Lowell Smith was
destroyed by fire in Honolulu on September
18th. 1t was built nearly fifty years ago.
A letter from Manager Maby of the Volca-
no House, dated September 18th, says the
crater of Kilauea is showing signs of ACTIVE
ty. A large flow of lava from Dana Lake
took place, as well as from smaller cone on
the east side of the crater.
The sessions of the Legislature were de-
void of special interest. Eighty-two days
were spent without ACCOMPLISHING anything
of real benefit to the taxpayer. Already
bills had been introduced calling for more
than 100000 of appropriations, which
were carried in spite of vigorous protests
from the best menof the country A speci-
men of the reckless manner of the native
members ard their supporters occurred ON
September 10Th, when reso ution was in
troduced to appropriate $4,000 to pay the
Kings debts. This, too, after the tax
PAYERS have already paid 60 per cent Of the
ROYAL spendt hrfts debts. One Conservative
member said it was commonly reported that
the King owed $4,000 or $4,000 in addition
to the proposed $4,000. Finally the bill
was referred to a select committee.

Walton-Mrs w. C. Ralston.

In this issue of THE CALLS portraits
will be seen the faces of several ladies well
known in society Of the preseLt day. They
are handsome women, ladies' with every
grace of person and attractiyeness OF mind.
They would be fitted to shine in the salons
of the Old World, and they have shown an
ability to bring good many to their feet IN
this city by the sea. They are famed for
their charms as society women, for their
delightful entertainments, or for their other
accomplishments. Mrs. Nat Messer as
daring equestrienne probably has not an
equal in the city. These ladies have most
of them grown up within our midst, this Is
their home, and whatever may be the charm
of Eastern seasons or of foreign capitals
these society matrons are attracted homo
ward to San Francisco here to abide.
