MISS O'HARA'S CHARGES.
She Says She Was Cruelty Treated at tn,
County Hospital.

She Says She Was Cruelty Treated ut the
County Hospital.
Miss Minnie 0'Hara, for some time an
inmate of the City and County Hospital,
was taken before the Insanity Commissions
ers yesterday by some of the authorities of
that institution to be examined on a charge
of insanity.
Miss Ollara, formerly waitress in the
Pleasantou Hotel, was admitted to the hos
pital in the latter part of October, suffering
from catalepsy. Her experience, according
to her own story and the testimony of the
nurse who attended her, has been sorry
one since.
The testimony given by the attaches, who
made tile complaint against the young
woman, was that she was dangerously vio-
lent whenever seized with. a fit, aud had not
only to be watched closely. but actually had
TO be put In stTait-jacket and strapped
down to be kept from doing great damage.
Miss UHara denied that she was violent
or had ever been insane. Her treatment,
she said, had been most cruel DR.. Healy
had time and again ordered her put in a
stralt-jacket, and the internes had pressed
their whole weight on her chest in their
efforts to tighten the straps around her.
The reason of their cruel Treatment, SIZE
said, was a threat she had made to expose
some of DR.. Healy's wicked dolngS in the
hospital. lie had replied to her threats by
saying that the word of a pauper would not
be believed by the public anyway, but he
kept on Furnishing her. Two of the women
nurses, Miss Seedlings aud Miss Parsons,
had also abused her shamefully.
Miss O'Hara talked in perfectly rational
manner before the Commissioners and
answered every question quite as intelli-
gently as the internes. The Commissioners
expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied
that the young woman was as sane as any
one present, but should be treated for cata-
lepsy.
Miss O'Hara's mother resides ia Los
Angeles, and the Commissioners gave her
leave to return there at once. She said she
would rather die than return to the hos

PLEASURE AND PAIN.
Some Comparisons Between the Stron

Some Comparisons Between the Stronger
and the Weaker Sex.
Editor WOmdH'S Column, Morning CAL /:
socrates says: How singular is the thing
called pleasure AID how curiousy related
to pain, which might be thought TO be the
opposite Of it for they never come to a man
together, and yet he who pursues either of
them is generally compelled to take the
other. They are two, and yet they grow to-
ether out of one head OF stem; and can

and when he could not, he fastened their

The above extract from the writings of
Charles Dudley Warner, though referring to
the attributes pleasure and pain. seems to
me strangely suggestive of the relative po-
siuons of mau and woman. He, with mis-
general immunity from sorrow, and his

OF humanity. Had Esop made the fable,
however, he would not have said that God

made few mistakes, and God never fails
1t Is Indeed only by his influence-his in
terposition-and through his love-in the
human heart. that the strife between pleas

FRAUD Is CHARGED.
Second Trial Begun of Wainwright's Sui


Second Trial Begun OF Wainwright's Suit
Against Weske.
The second trial of the suit of James
Wainwright against the Golden Age Mill
Company and Adolph Weske, pending since
1854, was begun before Judge Sanderson
yesterday. Wainwright claims that he was
in April, 1884, a member of the liquor firm of
Wainwright Il Hey, which was indebted to
him in the sum of $4,000, secured by PROM
issory notes, and desiring to retire from the
firm he made this fact known to Hev. who
promised TO find purchaser of the notes
ana his two-thirds interest in the firm
Subsequently, in March, 1884, Hey said n
purchaser had been found and directed
Wainwright to the ook-keeper of the firm:
GraunholZ, who, he SAID, would tell him the
particulars. The latter informed him that
;Adolph Weske was the man referred to, and
WeSke, when seen. stated that he desired to
purchase tue said interests, but not having
ready cash said that he would deliver len
shares oil the capital stock Of the mill cor
poratiOn, which, he declared, were ''as good
as gold" and fully worth $500 share.
The sale was thereupon made Weske
transferring the stock ana also paving to
Wainwright $3.50 in cash. 1t afterward
appeared that all Of Weske's representa-
tions as to the value Of the stock were false
as charged, and within one month the mill
corporation mortgsged its plant to the

wall under $4,000 liabilities. Suit was
therefore commenced to have the sale set
aside, aud to have the corporation restrained
from selling the said ten shares in payment
OF the plaintiffs assessments which were
delinquent.
Upon the first trial of the case in 1856
wainwright recovered a Judgment against
Weske for $4,000 Weske appealed to the
Supreme Court and reversal followed.

litigation, the father claiming that she was
not properly cared for by the mother, and
the latter averring that Weske was an unfit
person to have the custody of the delicate
little girl. Mrs. Weske has been the victor
in all the strifes so far, but the case is sill

A LTNCH-ROOM.
The Suggestion That Was Made by a
Downtown Stenograrher.

The Suggestion That Was Made by
Downtown Stenographer.
Editor u omd's Column Morning Call ::
l read with much interest the communica-
ton signed 'Stenographer" in last Fridays
issue, and would like space for a few re-
marks which / deem pertinent to the sub
jet. After urging the adyisablity of the
establishment Of a downtown lunch-room
for business women, the writer inquiries
whether there Isn't somebody in this city
who wants to do something for women in
some supporting way?"
That Is precisely the question which the
society known as The Women'S Educa-
tional and Industrial Union" of this city
has been asking, with varying degrees Of
success, Tor TWO years past. It's aims are
very broad, but all may be included under
| this one idea OF helping women to help
themselves in every walk in life, every field
OF endeavor Impressed with the need OF a
clean, respectable and cheap eating-room for
working-wUmen and which might be at the
same time means OF providing employment
Tor some OF It's n edv prOteges, several
ladies of the society, about year ago, sue
ceedins in collecting a small amount Of
money, with which they rented and fitted
out Il room on Second street, and served
wholesome. weli-cUoked meal at noon for 10
cents. 1t was well patrOniZad and gave
satisfaction during the SIX months Of its
career, but was obliged TO suspend, owing to
the lack Of efficient help from the outside
and the necessary funds to carry on the en-
terprlse. Although the staff of mattresses
was composed mainly Of Young ladies of the
| society who volunteered their services, still
the expenses of such place, serving as it
did but one meal per day, were necessarily
! hlgh, and the union was not able to spare a
| sufficiently large number of able workers
| from its limited ranks to give the careful
| supervision and management that was de-
manded. The enterprise, however, was
not abandoned altogether, and the union
has always retained tine hope of resuming
! it at some time. They still possess the
furnishings and outfit and would gladly aid
any person or persons wishing to carry on
! the good work, either directly in this line or
in some related Dyway. There certainly
should be not one but many such restai-
rants located throughout the city, but such
undertakings require the undivided atten-
lion of those engaged in them. 1t is well
this matter is brought to the attention Of
the public through the medium of the press,
and join the writer in hoping that some
| thing will come of it.
Persons interested would do well to call
a the w. Z. |. u, on Suffer street, and dis
cuss the matter. and it may be that in con-
nectlon with the society the idea may yet be
carried ont ME,Ippp
