A NEAT SWINDLER.

Business Men All Along the Coast Beat
by Man From Acapulco.
In nearly every city on the coast from San
Diego 10 Victoria are at least half dozen
merchants and business men who have been
swlndled by nice young man, known by
the name of Percival Ii. Gilbert. Mr.. Gil
bert arrived in this city last fall from Aca-
pulc0 and before he left that place laid the
foundation of his career of crime by ship
ping 80 boxes of lines to Ross & Hewlett,
commission merchants Oh Davis street.
Soon after the fruit arrived Mr.. Gilbert also
appeared, and he told the conSignees of his
lines that he was not only large fruit
raiser but the owner of some very valuable
mines in Central America as well. After
receiving the money for his fruit he paid
visit TO San Diego and there made arrange
Dents with half dozen merchants where
by they were 10 handle his big crop of fruit.
telling them that he preferred to ship direct
TO the retailer Instead Of the commission
merchant. He made the San Diego men De-
heye that ne had been shipping fruit to
Ross & Hewlett for long time, and they
owed him large sum Of money. On the
strength of this several drafts for sums
ranging from $50 to 500 and drawn on
Ross & Hewlett OF San Francisco were
cashed. OF course the notes were worth
less, but before the men " no had cashed
them discovered this the fruitman from
Angeles and Sacramento were next visited
and at each place were bled by Mr. Gilbert
TO the tune OF several hundred dollars
Gilbert next appeared at Portland, ana go
well did he impress the people of that fair
city that he made arrangements with over a
dozen merchants to handle his goods. One

men who were not long in discovering that
they had been swinded. The fellow had
the nerve to give draft to well-known
Portland merchant and then sit down in
that gentleman's Office and write a dispatch
to Ross & Hewlett asking them TO honor it.
From Portland be went to Victoria, b. c.,
and after getting rid of dozen or more

The Majority OF His Former Friends
Think He Has Not.
The rumors that the forger-poitician,
Maurice c. Baum, who fed this city In
March, 1889, had returned TO California and
was lurking in the Immediate neighborhood
Of San Francisco with the hope of making
an amicable settlement with his numerous
dupes and creditors, appear. on inquiry, to
be without substantial foundation. Some
color was given TO these reports By the fact
that Asa Fisk, the money-lender who was
swindled out of $500 by Baum on promis-
sorry note, upon which he had forged tue
Endorsement OF his uncle, Philip Anspacher.
swore out warrant on Monday for the
arrest Of Baum fopforgery.
1t VIII be remembered that the absconder
who was a member of the bar, had al one
time very bright prospects. He took an
active part In politics, and successful and
honorable career was predicted for him by
many shrewu judges. Wine aud gay women.
however, worked his moral. social and
financial ruin, and lie finally skipped the
city after obtaining large sums of money
from various persons, chiefly on bills with
forged Endorsements. Since then he has
been seen and reco gDiZed by California; in
China, Prussia and other foreign countries,
Obe OF Baum's intimate acquaintance,
Barney Dougherty, the politician, was seen
last night by CALL reporter, and, speak
heard these runors, and read the evening
papers stating that 'Morry' Baum had re-
turned to this city. l don't believe il: il lie
had l think / should be the first man TO
know il. nave made inquiries to-day from
more than fifty different people, and none
OF them have seen hm. Even If Baum had
the money to enable him 10 settle with
his creditors, from what know of the man.
he is too cunning 10 come back here on the
chance OF making settlement. No If he
wished to return 10 San Francisco he would
hrst make sure OF q compromise and then
and not till then, show his face in San
Francisco. There is nothing to the story. I
am convinced. As for Asa Fisk. why he
has only sworn out the warrant out of a
superabundance of that caution for which
he is noted. He has doubtless heard some
OF the talk and as he always does, has tried
to get in ahead Of any one else"
When NJ. A. Smith was spoken to on the
subject, and asked whether he had seen
Baum, or heard that he was back in the
State, he replied: Don't you let any one
steer you against that yarn. Baum is thou
sands OF miles from here. I'd like to see
him myself, ana will reward any one who
will track him down. l don't take any
stock in Asa Fisk having sworn cut war

LEPROSY.

Health Officer Keeney Thinks 1t Lasts
Longer in This Climate.
DR.. Keeney. Health Officer, has observed
more or less carefully in his official capacity
the pecularities of leprosy, and expresses
the opinion that the climate of this country
prolongs the disease. but in the end the
death is more horrible than In other
climates. In more tropical climates, like
the Hawaiian Islands. the victims perish
early; hence do not reach any very ad-
vanced stages Of decomposition. The case
of Blackmer, who died in the pesthouse
few days ago, was one of the worst he ever
knew Of. The man was nearly eaten I'D
before life's fame flickered out
There are seven more lepers in the insti.
tuition. While their fate is Inevitable and,
perhaps, not unlike the one who has Just
preceded them on his long journey, they do
not seem at all concerned about II, and are
taking life quite comfortably. The doctor
thinks the disease deadens the victims SEN
siblities.
Among the inmates are four boys named
Bint, who inherited the disease from their
mother and came to this country from the
islands. Their great horror is having to 90

They seem to think they are going to get
well here.
A young Chinese woman Is among the
number, and is quite attractive. She be-
iieves she will soon get well so that she can

CHURCH EXTENSION.
A Presbyterian Meeting to Con.
slider the Subject.
Speeches in Calvary Church Last Night bv
Ministers and Laymen-The Pres.
byterian Union.

The needs Of church extension in San
Francisco was discussed in nearly all its
phases from a Presbyterian stand point by
number OF clergymen and laymen in Cal
vary Church last evening. The meeting
had been arranged jointly by the San Fran
cisco Presbytery and the Pacific Presbyte-
rian Union. About one hundred persons
were present, two-thirds Of whom were
ladies.
large cloth screen was hung In front of
the platform and upon it was thrown by a
stereopticon map of San Francisco, show
ing the locations of the various evangelical
churches.
THE UNoCCUPIED FIELD.
Mr.. James Horsburg Jr. ofieiated as
chairman OF the meeting. After prayer
by Rev. L. Hanson Irwin an address on the
duty OF Presbyterians to the city was deIiv-
cred by DR.. Minton. The Rev. j. O. Adams
spoke on The Fields Now Occupied" and
the Rev. A. J. Kerr on THE Fields Now
Unoccupied." The last-named speaker de-
clared that there are only seventy-six evan
geileal churches in the city, and that n orth
oil sacramento street and east of Jones
oo,Ooo people were without any churches. >
GROWTH OF THE CITY.
Mr.. Charles &c ddes spoke on the growth
=
ism as business proposition. He stated
that there were only 81, coo seats in all the
churches in this city for the accommoda-
ton OF 100000 people, and so long as this
disproportion Of seats to population existed
II could not be said there were too many
churches in San Francisco. What was
needed, he said, was Presbyterian money
and grace in Presbyterian hearts to provide
additional churches. He said that $4,000
people go across the bay on the business of
cunning and shooting every Sunday.
These" he added. "are the people we
want 10 save"
THE PRESBYTERIAN UNION.
Mr.. +. A. Berlin in very effective speech
maintained the position that the Pacific Pres
byterian Union was the best IN dunn Thu ough
which TO conduct the work of church extern
sion. No salary had ever been paid, he
said. TO any member of the union. If each
one Of 1000 or 1000 members OF Presbyterian
churches In this city would contribute small
sum annually TO the union there would be
10 lack OF funds with which to buy church
lots In the growing sections Of the city.
DUTY OF THE CHURCH
Rev. DR.. Easton talked about three min
uteS on the duty Of the church to the union.
He said that what the thumb was to the
right hand the Presbyterian Union was 10
the church. 1t completes the grip. DIR.
Easson closed with the suggestion that
collection should be taken up one Sunday in
every year for the benefit of the Presby-
terrain Union.
Dr. Mcdonald spoke of the Inviting field
for church extension in the new town of
South San Francisco in San Mateo County.
The male chorus of the Calvary Sabbath
school sang several times during the even
