THE CHILD LEPER.
Now at the Pest House Ia San
Francisco.


SAN Francisco, June 2.-Mrs Augusta
Frates, the child wife who was discovered
70 be afflicted with leprosy in Oakland ter
days ago, is now charge of the city and
county of San Francisco. She ss at the
pest house and it is probable that she will
remain there, though not legally charge
of the county. On Friday last the woman
applied at the city and county hospital for
care, but would not state where she had
been since last Monday evening, when she
escaped from her home in OaklOnd.
The Woman-or girl, rather-was desti-
tute and suffering for hunger and was
given shelter. She was kept there until
yesterday morning, when she was sent to
the pest house.
The poor girl seemed heartbroken, and
could hardly realize the fate that had be-
fallen her, and how she would have to
spend the rest Of her life.
The case is a most pitiable one. About
six months ago Frates and his wife, who is
but IL years of age, arrived from Honolulu.
Frates tried to find work but was unsuc-
full. To make matters worse, in the midst
of their destitutiOn about two months ago
Mrs. Frates became a mother AS might
have been expected, the child was very
puny one, and barely managed to live.
Ten days ago the condition of Mrs.
Frates, who had been sick for months, be-
came alarming, and physician was called
in. The case was pronounced one of lep-
rosy. Her hands and feet had begun to
swell and scales had formed on her body.
AS Alameda county had no place to put
a leper, she was allowed to remain in her
home at 1855 Thirteenth street.
She remained there until Monday even
ing, when she and her husband disap-
peared, leaving their babe behind and say
ing they were going into the country.
Nothing was heard of them until Mrs.
Frates applied for admission at the city
and county hospital.

AT THE mATINEE.

The GIddy Girls Making Fools of
Themselves ia the Theater.
New York Recorder l saw rather an
interesting scene at matinee recently in
one of our well known theaters. Two
handsome, stylish girls came in just be-
fore the curtain rose and took seats in the
very front row next to the big base horn.
The thunder blasts which this instrument
emitted would in that proximity, have
maddened me, but it had no effect on the
girls, who seemed in a twitter of expecta-
ton. They paid little attention to the
play until the leading juvenile man en-
tered. Then they gazed upon him with
breathless expectation. In his buttonhole
be wore a sprig of hyacinth, and then I saw
that the adorng couple were likewise be-
decked. 1 heard the brunette say to the
blonde:
"Oh, Clara, he's wearing it,"
eyes, 1 see he is.
"Oh, he's just lovely"
'Isn't he picture in a dress suitp'
By this time that part of the audience
near by realized what was going on, and
watched as carefully as l did
1t did not take the actor long to locate
the couple, and he played most of his
scenes to them, and covered them with de-
light and confusion.

acynths were with it."

Then their attention was distracted by
the entrance of the pretty cOmediene O
the company, to whom their hero begar
to make love with the most approved stage
fervor.
"Clara" eyed her scornfully and jealously
'Who's that thing2"
Her companion read the name off on th'

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-The steamer
City of Puebla, on which 18O hve-tael tins
of contraband opium were found while in
port, sailed for Victoria and Puget Sound
ports on schedule time. Athorough search
of the steamer had failed to bring to light
any more opium, although the customs
authorities are confident that several
hundred tins of the drug were still on
board. The steamer was watched closely
up to her sailing, when a small scoW, in
which were two men with long poles, was
moored by lines between the steamer Santa
Rosa and Broadway pier 1, and the two
men commenced the work of probing the
mud bottom where the Puebla had been
lying, in the hope Of being able to locate
any opium tins that may have been put in
sack and thrown overheard. Special
Agent Day, who lately arrived from Wash
ington, D. c., watched the work as it pro-
gressed, but it yielded no result. 1t is still
believed, however, that several sacks of the
stuff were thrown overheard while the

A NOTED wOmAN,s DEATH.
Nina Morgan, the Famous Writes
on Horses, Expires.

/ NEW YORK, June 2.-Mina, better known
as Midy Morgan, known as the foremost
woman writer on horses and cattle in the
United States, died this morning in ST..
Francis hospital, Jersey City. She was
essentially cattle expert, and known to
every prominent cattle breeder in the
country. Miss MOrgan's career was inter
esting, although not in the least sensational.
She was born in the county of Cork, Ire
land, November o. 1923. She was in her
64th year. She was the eldest daughter of
large family. In her early youth she ac-
quired liking for the chase and was
familiar figure in hunts all over the
south of Ireland. In 1865 the death of her
father broke up the Morgan home. The
eldest son got most of the property and
the daughter but slender allowance. Miss
Morgan went to Rome with her youngest
sister, Jane, to give the latter an oppOr-
tunity of studying art. There she became
acquainted with Victor Emanuel, who sent
her to Ireland to buy saddle horses for him.
She was so successful in this mission that
on herreturn to Rome he presented her with
a diamond star and gold watch bearing his
monogram. In May, 1863, she came
to the United States with letters of intro
ductiOn to Henry G. Raymond, of the
Times, and Horace Greeley, ofthe Tribune.
Raymond, however, died before she
!SaCuOu NSM OIki anu u6I l6JJoI W OI6o-
ley did not bear fruit. For time she be-
came connected with the Times, with
which newspaper she remained until her
death She was also contributor to such
newspapers as the Horseman and the
Breeders Gazette. Miss Morgan was tall
and of slender build. Last year she got a
bad fall which made her permanently lame.
She was affected with dropsy in recent
years, and this caused her death She lived
in Metuchen, N. j. Her sister Jane lives
on Staten Island and nephew lives in the
West
